As soon as they heard that there were fugitives, the young adults who were still living in Chongyun Village immediately became excited, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, relatives called relatives, playmates shouted playmates, don't sleep, get up!

So soon a large group of people took hoes, wooden sticks, rakes and even kitchen knives and other messy "weapons", and gathered at Liu Caifu's house in a menacing manner.

Looking at this large group of young people who were sleepy and screaming, and even most of them came directly under the heavy rain without raincoats or umbrellas, Liu Caifu was also a little big-headed.

Originally, he just wanted to notify a few young people who were more familiar with his family and take them to investigate, but what he didn't expect was that after the earth-shattering thunder exploded, it directly woke up the whole village.

So they said a few words to each other in the WeChat group, and they immediately knew that the escaped prisoners reported in the news before had entered their village, and Deputy Director Liu was about to "gather" manpower to "hunt" for the fugitives.

Liu Caifu had an illusion, as if this group of young men was not going to catch fugitives, but to have a banquet.

And at least half of the people are holding their mobile phones to shoot videos there, explaining with great interest, as if they want to go back to Tik Tok and Moments.

However, in this way, coupled with the shocking thunder just now, the men, women and children in the village were all woken up, and they all knew about the fugitives through their mobile phones, and the investigation of the village was much simpler.

When the police arrived at the village, Liu Caifu had already led people to investigate the village for a round, and basically determined that the two fugitives were not in the village. Of course, even if they were still there before, they made such a big move, and people would have run away long ago.

The police learned about the situation in detail with Liu Caifu and the Liu brothers, and then went to the Liu brothers' house to carefully check them, especially the clothes and pants they found and were thrown under the hillside, and then determined that the people who broke into the door and stole their clothes were the two fugitives.

Through further investigation of the mountain road next to it, and from the footprints under some trees that were not completely washed away by the rain, it was judged that the two fugitives had indeed entered the mountain overnight.

Because the rainstorm was too heavy and it was late at night, for the sake of safety, the police pursuers first rested at the house of Liu Zhengyi's brother, learned about the terrain in the mountains through satellite maps and communication with the villagers, formulated a pursuit plan, and waited for the rain to be lighter before entering the mountain.

Hearing that the police needed a local guide to enter the mountain, a group of young people signed up one after another - this group of guys who were woken up by lightning in the middle of the night failed to catch the fugitives in the village, and they were very disappointed.

However, many of these young people work outside all the year round, and they don't know much about the situation in the mountains, and they can't answer a few questions, just because they want to watch the excitement and shoot videos.

Originally, there were a few villagers in their forties and fifties who were more suitable, who knew more about the situation in the mountains and often climbed the mountains. However, considering the physical strength and the current situation in the mountains, the people led by the police still prefer to bring a young man in his twenties.

In the end, it was Liu Zhengyi and Liu Gaoshang who were taken by the pursuit team, because they often skipped class and ran into the mountains since they were studying, so they were relatively familiar with the mountainous area on the edge of their village.

At four o'clock in the morning, the torrential rain gradually stopped, although the ground was still muddy, and the road in the mountain was slippery, but the pursuers did not wait for dawn, but went directly into the mountain.

Not long after sunrise, the sky cleared, and the pursuit team arrived at the place where the lightning storm had devastated the previous night.

However, from some other things that were not completely burned, and some things that could not be burned, the people of the pursuit team still preliminarily confirmed that these two unlucky people who were struck by lightning were the two escaped fugitives.

After getting this confirmation, except for Liu Zhengyi and Liu Gaoshang, the two "guides" in the pursuit team, everyone else turned their heads to look at a team member.

The man also looked sluggish, but he didn't expect that his casual joke in the car really came true?

Then he subconsciously looked up at the already blue sky.

......

The news that the two fugitives were killed by lightning quickly spread after the brothers Liu Zhengyi and Liu Gaoshang returned to the village.

And this matter itself is also a major case of concern to the whole society, after bringing the body back and further confirming the identity through other means, the police also issued an announcement through the media.

Two escaped prisoners were actually hacked to death by thunder, such news, not to mention the villagers of Chongyun Village who witnessed the arrest, as well as the people in several cities and counties who are relatively close to Wushushan Prison, that is, netizens across the country, when they saw this news, they were all amazed.

When many people see the news headlines posted by friends in WeChat groups or circle of friends, their first reaction is even that they think it is fake news, and it is a headline party article played by a marketing account.

But I couldn't resist my curiosity, and after clicking in, I found that it was not fake news, nor was it taken out of context, but an announcement issued by the police, and the two fugitives were really, really, and clearly hacked to death by the thunder? !

So, in the evening, the topic of "the fugitive was struck by lightning" was on the hot search list of various social media platforms.

Then a variety of strange discussion topics were derived, such as "The evil value must be reached to the right to attract thunder strikes?", "Did the two prisoners know that they were going to be robbed, and quickly escaped from prison and ran to the mountains to avoid injuring their fellow inmates?", "Has Lei Gong already taken the civil service examination?", "The State Grid has begun to be integrated into the law enforcement system?", "Lu Xun said: Good and evil will eventually be reincarnated, and if you don't believe it, look up to see who Lei Gong bypassed", "The thunder net is restored and negligent but not leaked" and so on.

Even on Zhihu, questions such as "What is the experience of being struck by lightning?", "What do you think of the escaped prisoners in Wushushan Prison being struck by lightning?", "How to avoid being struck by lightning in the mountains?", and other questions all appeared in the top ten of the hot list at the same time.

That night, in Chongyun Village and several surrounding villages, there were also some people who photographed the brief lightning storm in the mountains through mobile phones or other camera equipment from afar, although the distance was very far, the clarity was very poor, and the picture quality was average, but after being posted on the Internet, it was still enough to make people feel the horror of the thunderstorm, which further increased the degree of discussion.

In particular, there was a girl who was already taking a selfie video at home, and recorded the shocking thunder from the mountains in the distance, which made people feel like the whole sky was smashed by something.

All kinds of discussions, all kinds of popular science, as well as all kinds of wit, all kinds of making up stories, are endless.

For a while, the news became a national hot spot.

However, for several people in Chongshan Village who have experienced this "hot event", they all have different feelings.

When Chu Xiuwen saw the lightning storm in the mountains last night, his first reaction was to think of the news in Thornton City and Zihuan Mountain last month.

At that time, it was also raining heavily in Zihuan Mountain, and a very spectacular lightning storm broke out, and then it was said that someone saw the "Fire Phoenix" and took videos and photos, but later some people refuted the rumor that it should be a burning drone or something.

When he first saw the lightning storm, he didn't think much about it except for the thunderstorm in Zihuan Mountain and the great power of nature.

But when the Liu brothers returned to the village and brought back the news that the two fugitives had been killed by thunder, Chu Xiuwen was surprised, but he couldn't help but think of Xiang Kun and the multi-armed monster.

The first is that the incidents that he knew before that the multi-armed monster were related to the "punishment" of criminals or saving people, and the lightning strike fugitive should be considered a similar incident; the second is that he knows that Xiang Kun has a relationship with the multi-armed monster; the third is that Xiang Kun is likely to be in the mountains last night; and the fourth is from the information he got when he chatted with Xiang Kun before, Xiang Kun returned to Thorn Tong City the night before Valentine's Day, which means that he was also in Thorn Tong when the lightning storm in Zihuan Mountain occurred.

Taken together, although it is not certain that the lightning storm is related to Xiang Kun, and even the correlation is a bit far-fetched, the balance of Chu Xiuwen's intuition has been tilted significantly, and there is a faint guess.

When he found out that Xiang Kun was related to the "multi-armed monsters" that Old Man Guo saw when he had a heart attack and was dying, and Lao Xu said that multiple suspects saw them, Chu Xiuwen's cognition of the world had already been shocked once, and he was still in a state of uncertainty, doubt, and thinking.

This faint speculation has washed away his traditional cognition for decades, making him have an illusion that this world is not very real, and a suspicion that he seems to have paranoia.

Even if Liu Caifu later received a call from Xiang Kun, and then told him that although Xiang Kun and Doctor Xia went into the mountain last night, they came out very early, and they just went to the construction site of the research base for a while, but they were trapped by the heavy rain, so they didn't come back until almost dawn, Chu Xiuwen silently put a question mark in his heart.

But Chu Xiuwen did not tell Liu Caifu or anyone else about his conjecture and his doubts, first, his conjecture was too exaggerated, second, he did not have any substantial evidence, and third, whether the conjecture was established or not, telling others would do no good.

He decided to go back and get in touch with Qi Haoguo again, to test it, judging from this guy's series of behaviors, as well as the multi-armed wood carving in Tongshi Town's new home, he should know more than himself.

Compared with Chu Xiuwen, Liu Caifu's thoughts were much simpler, and he was relieved to learn that Xiang Kun was fine.

But he also sensed that something was wrong with Chu Xiuwen, and felt that "Brother Chu" had been worried about it since he came back from the Liu family brothers from the mountains and knew that the two fugitives had been killed by lightning, and people who didn't know were afraid to think that he had something to do with the two fugitives.

As for Liu Zhengyi and Liu Gaoshang, the brothers were very excited at first, because they got a promise from the police, the information and clues they provided were very important, and they also directly helped the police find the two fugitives, although in the end the two fugitives were hacked to death by Lei, but they would still give them most of the bonuses.

Then they also learned from Liu Caifu that Mr. Xiang was trapped on the construction site by the rain last night.

Leaving Liu Caifu's house and on the way back to his home, Liu Gaoshang couldn't help but say:

"Mr. Xiang is also lucky, otherwise they are really in the mountains, whether they encounter those two fugitives or the lightning storm, they will be finished. Brother, why don't you go during the day when you say that Mr. Xiang wants to go into the mountains to take pictures and do research, and you have to go at night in this kind of bad weather? That Dr. Xia, a beautiful woman who is so delicate, also went into the mountains with him...... Brother, do you think Mr. Xiang has any special habits? He likes to fight in the field in a harsh environment......

Before he finished speaking, Liu Zhengyi had already slapped him on the head and scolded: "Be careful when you speak!"

Liu Gaoshang rubbed his head and said in astonishment: "Brother, are you really fighting?"

Liu Zhengyi lowered his voice and said: "Do you understand the woe from the mouth, be respectful to Mr. Xiang! Don't forget that we are going to follow him when we turn around!"

Liu Gaoshang looked back behind him, and then looked left and right, they were walking on a potholed path, there was no one around, and the nearest house was dozens of meters away from them, and said to his brother with a bitter face: "Mr. Xiang is not here, I am not stupid, I will not say it in front of others......"

"With your temperament, what should you do if you leak your mouth? You'd better be respectful to Mr. Xiang from the bottom of your heart. Liu Zhengyi glared at him and said, although he is much shorter than his younger brother in terms of height, but his momentum is completely opposite, and Liu Gaoshang has been crushed by him since he was a child, and he has long developed a high degree of obedience.

Liu Gaoshang nodded, but he still didn't understand a little, and muttered in a low voice: "Brother, are you ...... Mr. Xiang is a little too ...... What's wrong?" the brother he remembered, but he was very horizontal, and he had never had such an attitude towards anyone. Even when he wanted to follow Liu Feibao with his heart, the brothers did not miss some gossip about Liu Feibao and other "big guys" in private.
