"Mi girl, go stay at your second aunt's house for a few days." Tian Hongxing looked tired. After seeing his daughter, he didn't have the energy to talk to her in detail. He just stuffed some money into her hands.
After saying that, he felt that it was not appropriate. It was getting dark soon, so he added, "Let's go tomorrow morning. Go to your Aunt Yun's house tonight and hide there."
Aunt Yun is the daughter-in-law of production team leader Tian Tongxi. Tian Hongxing and Tian Tongxi grew up together and have a very good relationship, as close as brothers.
The two families often interacted with each other, and Aunt Yun was very caring towards Tian Mi and her siblings. However, she was straightforward and because she had no daughter, she looked down on Luan Hongmei, who favored boys over girls. The relationship between the two of them was only for the sake of her husband's face.
Seriously speaking, in the whole village, it is indeed safer to hide in Aunt Yun's house.
It has to be said that from this point we can see that Tian Hongxing has thought about it seriously, and at present, he has not been persuaded by his grandparents.
This realization made Tian Mi's tense nerves slowly relax.
She won the bet.
Yes, it’s gambling!
It is not a bet on who Tian Hongxing will choose between his daughter and his son, but a bet on the integrity of an upright people's policeman.
Although, Tian Hongxing might not be able to prevail against her grandparents in the end, but, at least for this moment, it was enough for her to breathe a sigh of relief.
As for the anger of the old man and old lady who felt sorry for their grandson being locked up after handling the matter of Tian Changqing, who cares? As long as she can ensure the safety of her brothers and sisters and they will not be implicated by her, she will leave immediately.
"Dad, did you see my brother being taken away by the Revolutionary Committee?" Tian Mi wanted to clarify this. After all, whether she was deceived or did it voluntarily, she had to consider the subsequent solution.
Tian Hongxing frowned: "I was not in the village at that time, so I didn't see it. Don't worry about it, just hide yourself."
She didn't want to care about it. Tian Mi rolled her eyes secretly, but her peripheral vision accidentally caught a glimpse of the fourth sister rolling her eyes in the corner, which made her almost burst out laughing.
Tian Mi cleared his throat, suppressed his inappropriate smile, and quickly told his father his guess.
After all, having been a policeman for more than 20 years and having participated in many homicide cases, Tian Hongxing has long since developed a pair of sharp eyes and agile thinking logic.
He hadn't had time to think too deeply about it because the old lady and the others had made such a fuss before. But after hearing his daughter's general account, he immediately sorted out his thoughts and couldn't help but frowning: "What do you think is the possibility that Liu Xiangdong did this?"
Tian Mi pursed her lips and said firmly: "Ninety percent sure."
That means it is 100% certain!
No matter how satisfied she was with Liu Xiangdong, he was still an outsider. Tian Hongxing naturally trusted her own child more. If what happened to Changqing was really a means for him to force her to marry her daughter,
Thinking of this, his face turned so gloomy that it looked as if ink was about to drip out.
Tian Mi always paid attention to her father's expression. Seeing this, she immediately said a few more words: "If it was really Liu Xiangdong who did it, I'm a little sorry for my big brother. Then Wang Yanhong must have received some benefits. She's just too cruel. After all, my big brother has been dating her for half a year."
"Hmph! He deserves it. I told him not to date Wang Yanhong a long time ago, but he wouldn't listen." What Tian Hongxing didn't say was that he suspected his eldest son was not innocent in this matter.
However, whether because of his identity as a public security officer or as a father, he was reluctant to say this guess out loud. The former was because he had not found evidence to draw a conclusion, and the latter was because he was afraid of damaging the relationship between the two children. As parents, they naturally hope that their children can have harmonious and loving relationships.
"Dad, if it was really Liu Xiangdong who did it, what are you going to do?"
Tian Hongxing snorted coldly: "Although the Liu family is powerful, your father is not made of clay."
Not to mention that the eldest son-in-law is now a regimental commander. Even he himself has been working in public security for decades and has helped many people. How could he not have any connections
Even if we take a step back, every family has a few relatives.
As long as he is sure that his eldest son is innocent, he will have no worries even if he seeks help from others.
If the Revolutionary Committee wanted to put a charge on Chang Qing's head, he, as the father, would have to see solid evidence.
Thinking of this, Tian Hongxing couldn't wait any longer. He had to go see Chang Qing first.
Seeing her father leaving in a hurry, Pan Di came over and said, "Sister, I'll take you to Aunt Yun's house after dark."
Tian Mi shook her head: "No, I'll live here."
"That's fine. It's safer to hide here than to go to Aunt Yun's house." Pan Di felt that with her grandparents' tempers, after her father went to town, they might guess that her sister was hiding at Aunt Yun's house, and the possibility of them making a scene was 100%.
After figuring it out, she patted the straw crumbs stuck to her body, pulled her little brother over, cleaned him up, and said, "Then we'll go back. When it gets dark, I'll bring a blanket to accompany you and bring some food."
Tian Mi wanted to say that it was not necessary to go through so much trouble, but thinking about the temperature at night in early winter and the desolation of the house, she could not say no after all. In the end, she only reminded him: "Be careful when you come over. If your grandparents are waiting for me at home, don't come out."
Pan Di was confident: "Don't worry, they won't notice us."
She had already made up her mind. When she got back, she told Luan Hongmei that her second sister had already left with the package.
After they check the second sister's clothes and confirm that they are indeed missing, they will definitely go after them. At that time, there will be no one at home and it will be convenient for her to act.
But she didn't plan to tell anyone about this. Her second sister was just as silly as her third sister, so she had to worry more about her.
He had no idea that in the eyes of his impish sister, he was just a fool. After seeing the three people off, Tian Mi was not idle either. He spent more than ten minutes digging a hole in the haystack against the wall.
The pit is not big and can only accommodate one person.
After renovating the temporary nest, she tidied up the house so that there were no flaws, and then she crawled into the haystack.
It was also at this moment, nestling in a small and secluded environment, feeling the touch of straw against his back, that Tian Mi finally relaxed and began to think about what was to come.
After living her life over again, a person's IQ and experience will not improve dramatically. She is still the ordinary person who has just graduated from school for less than two years, a little smart and a little brave.
The worst person Tian Mi had ever met was the thief who stole her cell phone during her freshman year.
The embarrassing thing is that she still doesn't know what that thief, the closest bad guy to her, looks like.
Because his previous social circle was too comfortable, Tian Mi was very clear about his own weight, so the best way was to tell Tian Hongxing about the matter and let him participate.
Even if it's a bit risky, it's better than her rushing around alone.
With my father's decades of experience in public security, he should be able to find out a lot of things, including who the Liu family's rivals are.
As for her, she has other things to do tomorrow.
Even a rabbit will bite when it is angry.
Isn’t Liu Xiangdong free
After taking a quick look at the original book, she suddenly had an idea and thought of a way to keep him busy.
Thinking about this matter, Tian Mi woke up before dawn the next day.
After a simple wash, he picked out some black ash from the bottom of the ceramic pot brought by his fourth sister, slightly changed his appearance, then said goodbye to Pan Di, picked up the bag that was ready to run away at any time, and went to the county town alone.
The earliest bus to the county town leaves at 5:30 in the morning. By the time Tian Mi takes the first bus to the county town, it is not yet seven o'clock.
Perhaps because she felt uneasy deep down in her heart, she subconsciously did not go to her second aunt's home in the neighboring village as her father had mentioned, but instead came to a guesthouse in the county town.
With the letter of introduction, the money that Tian Hongxing gave her, and her own savings, she had a total of more than 80 yuan, so she had no pressure to stay in the guesthouse.
The reason why she chose the guesthouse was because it was the only place where she could make a phone call besides the post office.
Tian Mi didn't know whether there were people affiliated with Liu Xiangdong at the county post office, but she would not take the risk, nor did she mind thinking of the worst of them.
She knew very well that since Liu Xiangdong had made such a big move to force her, it meant that he had given up on the gentle tactics.
If this scumbag madman becomes radicalized, who knows what irrational things he will do.
The plot of the original book went haywire from the moment the old aunt came to act as a matchmaker.
But, no matter how bad the plot is, Tian Mi knows how chaotic the public security is in this era.
Therefore, she had better stay alive until the crisis is resolved.
While I was trying to comfort myself, I still couldn't help but get so angry that I wanted to beat someone up.
Damn it, she was a decent citizen, but because of a scumbag, she had to live in hiding, like a shameful criminal.
After being angry for a long time, Tian Mi calmed down and comforted herself.
Wait a little longer, wait a few more days, just wait a few more days, and her chance for revenge will come.
9 o'clock in the morning.
After most of the guests in the guesthouse had left, Tian Mi went to the counter to make a phone call.
Yes, she decided to call her elder sister. The letter she sent would take about half a month to reach the army.
But she couldn't wait.
Moreover, if one wants to seek refuge there, one must always ask clearly whether the other party is willing to take her in temporarily.
She couldn't just run over there without her elder sister's consent.
"Comrade, excuse me, I want to make a phone call." Tian Mi looked towards the small lounge inside the counter and found that the front desk staff had been replaced by a middle-aged woman. She looked more serious than the girl who checked in in the morning, but she didn't look down on her.
The middle-aged woman put down the sweater she was knitting, looked Tian Mi up and down, and said in a rigid tone: "Serve the people, letter of introduction."
Do I need a letter of introduction to make a phone call? Tian Mi didn't understand, but she immediately took it out from her inner pocket and carefully handed it to the waiter.
After the woman confirmed that the certificate was genuine, she returned the letter of introduction and pointed at the table with her finger: "Number!"
Tian Mi immediately handed over another note.
After the woman helped to dial the number, she handed the phone to Tian Mi and pointed at the receiver again: "Just put it to your ear like I did just now and you can talk."
Hearing this, Tian Mi, who was originally a little nervous, felt a little embarrassed and said thank you softly: "Thank you for your trouble."
It was not known whether Tian Mi was too polite or the soot on his face was too obvious, but the waiter stared at him for a few more seconds. When he saw that Tian Mi knew to put the microphone to his ear, he picked up his knitting needles and walked away.
Seeing this, Tian Mi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately called out "Hello?"
Then, on the other side of the receiver, more than 2,000 kilometers away, in the office of the Political Commissar of the Third Regiment of the 836th Army, a warm voice also rang out: "Hello! This is Chen Gang. Who is it you want to meet?"
