Chapter 531

Inside the village where police sirens wailed,

the villagers were startled awake and came running over to watch,

but when they saw the children being carried out, everyone's faces were filled with astonishment.

Because they had no idea there were so many children here at all.

Inspecting the room, one person came before the captain and said, "There are signs of a struggle here, but no one was found."

"Are there no clues at all?"

Looking at the officer beside him, the captain asked.

"The other party was very careful and didn't leave any clues behind, Captain!"

Speaking to the captain before him, the officer said, "Should we expand the search area?"

"They must have run into trouble!"

Squatting on the floor and looking at the dripping blood, which looked like plum blossoms, the captain couldn't help but frown.

Because he could tell from the environment at the scene that the person who did this was a ruthless character, and absolutely cold-blooded.

"Officer, have the children been found?"

Running in in a panic, Zhang Cheng shouted, panting for breath.

"Were you the one who sent us the address just now?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng before him, the captain couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, yes, yes, it was me. My sense of smell is a bit sharper! That's why I was able to track them all the way here!"

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Zhang Cheng explained.

And just as Zhang Cheng finished speaking, the captain came before him and said, "You haven't been inside here, have you?"

"No, how would I dare to come in? I was hiding outside the village, and only came over when I heard the sirens!"

Speaking to the captain before him, Zhang Cheng hurriedly explained.

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the captain couldn't help but ask, "Haven't you seen anyone else?"

"No, it's pitch black out, I didn't see anything at all!"

Looking at the captain, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but speak up.

Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, the captain hurriedly grabbed his hand, but after sniffing it, he frowned and said, "You're just a young man, yet your hands are quite fragrant!"

"Isn't it easy to sweat?"

Explaining with a smile on his face, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but squint his eyes.

"We will reward you for this matter, you did well, kid!"

Patting Zhang Cheng on the shoulder, the captain turned and left the room.

But just as the officer followed him out, he frowned.

"Captain, what's wrong? Is there a problem with that kid?"

Looking at the captain suspiciously, the officer couldn't help but feel curious.

"I can't say for sure, but I feel like something isn't right with him!"

Looking back at Zhang Cheng, who was panting heavily on a chair nearby, the captain became serious.

Because he had originally thought there would be a smell of blood on Zhang Cheng, but he hadn't expected there to be no traces at all.

However, there was still one flaw: Zhang Cheng was sweating so much, so why was there no odor?

But now was not the time to investigate this; they had to return the children to their parents, otherwise, everyone would be stripped of their uniforms by tomorrow!

"Sure enough, people who can become captains these days are no small characters!"

Watching the police car leave in the distance, the expression on Zhang Cheng's face gradually became solemn.

Accompanied by the flashing lights, half of his face was hidden in the darkness.

He had reported the location via a pager, so if he didn't show up, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

But he had already dealt with the people involved; Zhang Cheng knew he would leave flaws, but there was no help for it, as the matter had already reached a dead end!

Whether he came or not, he would be the prime suspect!

But as long as he disguised himself well, who could do anything to him?

After all, he was now the "hero" who solved the case!

Zhang Cheng didn't even need to think about how thick his halo would be after the story of a youth bravely chasing kidnappers and rescuing eight children got out!

As for "those who disappeared," was that something he should be worried about?

Krieg hadn't been doing this kind of thing for just a day or two; if they couldn't do barbecue, couldn't they at least handle farming?

Krieg Death Korps: We are equally professional at farming!

Lu Yan: I want to switch.

Shadow Legion: No, you don't! The next day, on the sunny playground,

on the podium, the principal was giving a lecture with a serious face.

But in the next second, he said, "Regarding education, our school has always upheld comprehensive development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor. Today, I want to specifically commend one student, and that is Zhang Cheng, because he bravely pursued kidnappers and rescued eight children."

Just as the principal finished speaking, the students below who were in the dark were all stunned.

Standing beside Zhang Cheng, Lin Jia said in shock, "No way, when did you do that?"

"Just last night, I rode my bicycle and chased them for three thousand miles, it was simply..."

Just as Zhang Cheng was showing off, Lin Jia couldn't help but say, "Stop, stop, stop, three thousand miles? You'd have almost ridden your bike out of the country at that rate. Stop spouting such useless nonsense!"

"Let me tell you, Lin Jia, the situation was like this!"

Just after Zhao Ye spoke up from the side, Lin Jia said in astonishment, "No way, you're a hero, Zhang Cheng!"

"Next, let us applaud student Zhang Cheng, and the school also intends to waive his tuition fees for the coming period because of this! I hope everyone can be like him, and without compromising your own safety, do not fear any evil."

(Note: This line appears to be a garbled text/placeholder, translated as requested.)

Speaking loudly, the principal's voice immediately drew cheers.

And looking at Zhang Cheng in the distance, Chen Xun's face was the ugliest right now. After all, he couldn't understand how such a hoodlum, who would resort to violence at the slightest disagreement, could still do something like this.

However, what Chen Xun didn't expect was that Zhang Cheng's story had actually appeared in the newspaper.

Looking at the People's Daily with the bolded headline, Qiao Ran couldn't help but step forward and say, "Zhang Cheng, is this talking about you?"

"If there isn't another Zhang Cheng, then it should be me!"

Speaking with a smile on his face, Zhang Cheng explained.

"Not bad, Zhang Cheng, I really didn't expect you to become a national celebrity!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng happily, Lin Jia laughed.

"Fang Hui and Zhao Ye also helped with this matter. If it weren't for them, there would have been no one to take care of that mother, and no one to tell the police the address, so this is the honor of the three of us!"

Looking at Zhao Ye and Fang Hui, Zhang Cheng also hurriedly explained.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't say that, Brother Zhang, I didn't do anything!"

Happily breaking into a smile, Zhao Ye said that, but he still couldn't stop himself from feeling happy.

With a wry smile, Fang Hui watched Zhang Cheng quietly.

Looking at the light in Fang Hui's eyes, Qiao Ran pursed his lips, feeling a bit bitter inside.

Coming out of school, Zhang Cheng happened to run into the captain from that day.

Looking at the other party, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Hello, Uncle, is something the matter?"

"It's just about the interview tomorrow. By the way, did you really not see anyone that day?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng seriously, the captain asked again.

"I was scared at the time, that group of people were wearing black coats..."

Stating the details of the Krieg, Zhang Cheng then said, "By the way, Uncle, I won't be retaliated against, will I?"

"No, you have to trust us!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng earnestly, the captain couldn't help but frown after turning to leave.

Because the details Zhang Cheng mentioned were the same as what they had investigated; there were four similar footprints in the room, which proved he wasn't lying.

But the moment he looked back at Zhang Cheng, the captain became serious.

Because for some reason, his smile made him feel an inexplicable chill in his heart!

Waving his hand, Zhang Cheng stood where he was, his eyebrows curved, squinting his eyes.
