Suddenly terrified, her face turned deathly pale.

Her body trembled.

Fortunately, Chen Daoguang and others were civilized enough not to physically assault a bridesmaid, a vulnerable woman.

SOB SOB SOB—

At this moment, sirens sounded from far to near.

Two police cars stopped outside the agritainment, and six police officers got out.

The leader was a middle-aged police officer, who entered the agritainment and immediately asked, "Who called the police?"

"Me, it was me."

Upon seeing this, Song Yun quickly raised his hand and spoke.

Seeing the arrival of the police, Chen Daoguang and others instantly became much more restrained and dared not make another move.

Subsequently, the middle-aged police officer glanced around the scene and noticed the bloodstains in the backyard.

Frowning, he asked, "You said on the phone that a violent altercation occurred. What exactly happened?"

His name was Qian Jiang.

He had been a grassroots police officer for over twenty years.

His experience with cases was extensive.

He immediately saw that a large-scale bloodshed had occurred here.

The amount of bloodstains was truly immense. It hadn't been cleaned up yet.

Song Yun swallowed nervously, just about to answer, when Chen Daoguang immediately rushed forward and interjected, "Officer, you've come just in time. It's this person here, she killed my son and injured three young people. We just caught her; she nearly escaped!"

As he spoke, someone pushed the bridesmaid, who looked terrified, in front of the police officer.

The action was very rough.

Qian Jiang looked at the bridesmaid, whose emotional state seemed off, and frowned. "How did she kill someone? Who else is injured? Are you sure she is the murderer?"

This type of case... in his decades of handling cases, was also a first for him.

From the setup inside the agritainment, it was evident that a wedding was being held here.

At a wedding... a murder had occurred! And the perpetrator was a frail bridesmaid!

"Here's what happened..."

Chen Daoguang glared at the bridesmaid and then accused, "In Chen Family Village, it's common to play pranks during weddings, which are normally just boisterous fun."

"But this bridesmaid, during the wedding prank, suddenly pulled out a knife..."

He exaggerated the details of what happened during the wedding prank.

"Officer, you must stand up for us. My son was only twenty-five years old. It was just a wedding prank; who would have thought he'd lose his life over it."

Immediately after, he clenched his teeth, pointed at the bridesmaid, and said vehemently, "This is the murderer! She must pay with blood, a life for a life!"

Before he could finish, Peng Songyue interjected, "Nonsense!" She couldn't stand it any longer and quickly handed the video taken by the videographer to the police.

"Officer, this is the video of the incident. Please look. How does this look like a wedding prank? This is clearly harassment. They tore Xiao Lan's clothes to shreds..."

Qian Jiang didn't rush to conclusions but took the video.

He fast-forwarded through the twenty-minute wedding prank video.

His frown deepened.

The behaviors in the video... were indeed becoming more excessive.

No wonder the bridesmaid... was still wearing a suit coat with her bridesmaid dress torn apart underneath.

"Officer, don't be swayed by her excuses; this is how our village conducts wedding pranks..."

Seeing this, Chen Daoguang defended again, "The tradition in our village is that for three days after a bride enters her new home, formalities are relaxed, and everyone can join in the fun. My son was only wishing them marital happiness and trying to make things lively."

"These actions were done by everyone together; how can it be called harassment?"

"That's right... yes, this is a folk custom. Aren't we supposed to respect traditional customs?"

Qian Jiang glanced at Chen Daoguang, his expression noncommittal.

Based on the current situation, he had roughly pieced together the cause and effect.

It seemed that the wedding pranks were too excessive, and the bridesmaid couldn't stand it and ultimately pulled out a folding knife.

Many people carry folding knives.

They aren't classified as controlled knives.

But the bridesmaid's actions... did indeed violate criminal law, suspected of intentional homicide and intentional injury.

Subsequently, he instructed the other officers to look for eyewitnesses to the incident.

Besides the bride and groom, other young people who had been involved in the wedding pranks were also questioned.

"Officer, we were scared out of our wits! It was supposed to be a normal bit of fun, but then she suddenly pulled out a knife."

"One dead and three injured from a wedding prank... that's too horrifying. It's no joking matter."

"We didn't mean any real harm; we were just egging things on. So many people were playing together; it was all for a bit of excitement."

"At that time, Chen Quan and a few others were right in the middle of it. They didn't see the bridesmaid pull out the knife, so they couldn't get out of the way..."

When recording the testimonies, the young people who participated in the wedding pranks all appeared very indignant and frightened.

They thought the bridesmaid was overreacting.

As for their own behavior, they dismissed it as just part of the wedding revelry, all in good fun.

No guilt whatsoever.

"Take pictures."

After collecting all the testimonies, Qian Jiang instructed the other police officers to photograph the scene and gather evidence.

He also secured the scene.

This case... unlike ordinary cases, involved a major murder. It must be handled properly.

It took him a full two hours to gather all the evidence.

"I'm taking the bridesmaid back with me now. The bride and groom, come with me to the town police station to give your statements. As for everyone else... we'll contact you if needed."

At last, Qian Jiang looked towards Chen Zishi and Peng Songyue, ready to wrap up.

However, from the crowd, Qin Mu suddenly spoke up, "Wait a second, Officer Qian, there's something else."

Qian Jiang paused, unable to help but glance at Qin Mu.
