"Don't worry, everyone, given what has happened in our village, we will assign someone to protect you all until we find out the truth."
Sun Li comforted the crowd.
The police began to clean up the bodies of the victims from last night, with Qin Ming closely following the entire process.
As the identification was completed, one by one, the corpses were wrapped in white shrouds, carried to the entrance of the village, and loaded onto ambulances headed for the hospital.
The people were beyond saving; they were sent for identification, waiting for the cases to be closed.
"In total, eighteen people in our village died—men, women, the elderly, and children were all included."
Qin Ming reported to Sun Li with a downcast expression.
"Eighteen lives just gone like that!"
Tears welled up in Sun Li's eyes; she turned away, falling into grief, and the villagers were deeply saddened as well.
