The Ma family's child was found, and people in both compounds breathed a sigh of relief.
The Chinese New Year is just around the corner. If a kidnapper really comes and takes a child away, people will inevitably panic. After the children were lost the year before last, the streets and alleys of the entire county were quiet for a long time, and every household kept a close eye on their children. If this happens again, will we be able to celebrate the Chinese New Year
Everyone in the neighboring compound had left, only the director and the retired Master Ma stayed. They followed the crying and laughing Ding Zhaodi into the house.
"Mom! We found the donkey eggs!"
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Ma family, Zhao Yulian, shouted at the top of her lungs, but Ma Dalian did not come out, only a few little guys who were looking after the house ran out.
Wang Ying was no longer in the room and came out quickly.
"Auntie Ma went to the police station and hasn't come back yet."
"Ah? Mom went to the police station?"
It's no wonder that Zhao Yulian was surprised. Her mother-in-law was a coward. Although she was always taking advantage of others and making a scene in the compound, she was extremely honest when she went out. If she was asked to go to the police station alone, she would probably be so scared that she wouldn't even dare to enter the door.
Wang Ying: "With Sister Ge."
Zhao Yulian immediately understood that her mother-in-law must have gotten impatient and that was why Mrs. Ge suggested going to the police station.
Zhao Yulian and Ding Zhaodi each hugged their children, and the men of the Ma family also stood quietly.
This family's behavior gave Master Ma a headache.
Your mother went to the police station to look for the child. Now that the child has been found, don't you want someone to go and call the old lady back
Especially the senior management officer, who was a little uncomfortable when he heard that Ma Dalian went to the police station. If this matter was reported to the higher authorities, it would seem that he was not doing a good job as the senior management officer. Obviously, he had done a good job, right
There were dozens of people in the compound next door, and he mobilized them all. So many people searched outside for two hours, and they were frozen like grandchildren.
Master Ma saw that this family was not getting wise, and he had no other options. He could only speak for himself.
"Well, everyone, support the army, build the country, and resist the U.S., one of you can go and find your mother. Just tell them that the child has been found, and don't bother the police."
Ma Yongjun was not happy. It was not his son who was lost. He had been freezing outside for a while, which was very kind of him. Besides, he was very dissatisfied with this nominal master. He was still his cousin, and he had not paved the way for him in the past few years. Now that the old man had retired, he didn't want to curry favor with him!
Ma Jianguo should go, but he couldn't leave. The donkey egg was found, but the child had slept in the haystack for too long, and now his forehead felt a little hot. He had to stay with him and take him to the hospital if he looked unwell.
Since the two older brothers didn't go, Ma Kangmei, a bachelor, couldn't escape.
He scratched his head: "Which police station?"
Master Ma: "Don't worry about which one it is. Go to the nearest one first. If you can't find it, ask the police station which one is closer. If you can't find it after searching for two, come back."
Ma Kangmei nodded and trotted out.
Not long after he left, he came back: "My mother is back! She brought two policemen with her!"
This scared everyone in the yard awake. They had all been living a peaceful life and had never had any dealings with the police in all these years. So they were a little scared when they heard that the police were coming.
The Grand Steward: "You didn't tell me your nephew has returned?"
Ma Kangmei: “I did, but the police said since we are already here, we should just ask.”
"Why? Isn't it all right if the child comes back?"
Before he could finish his words, a group of police officers came in.
Ma Dalian walked at the back like a quail, her heart pounding.
She was afraid that the police would scold her for looking for trouble, and she kept complaining that Donkey was a disobedient child. He said he would go home to eat at a certain time, but he insisted on hanging out outside. Did he get into trouble
As soon as Ge Yue entered the courtyard, she stepped back. The Ma family was all in the courtyard, including Master Ma, the chief steward, and her mother-in-law. She had nothing to do with this situation. She stepped out of the encirclement and after thinking about it, she decided to stand to the side with Wang Ying.
Wang Ying stood with her hands behind her back, watching the fun with great interest.
The two policemen who came were friendly in appearance, and Daguanyuan quickly stepped forward to explain the situation.
The policeman waved his hand and said, "That's easy. We came here to ask about the child's situation. Is it convenient now?"
Lvdan was half asleep, and when he was found, he was slapped awake by his mother. Now he was crying and hugging Ding Zhaodi's neck. He was scared when he heard the police uncle said he was looking for him.
"Don't catch me! Don't catch me!"
Ding Zhaodi was very embarrassed, and it was also her fault. She usually liked to say, "If you don't listen, let the police take you away."
The old policeman in the lead had a little gray hair. He took out a candy from his pocket with a smile and said, "Little friend, we are not here to arrest you. We are here to ask you to help us with our investigation."
Although Donkey Egg is a boy, there are many children in the family, so he can't stand out. This is the first time an adult has spoken to him seriously. Pulling the corner of his clothes helplessly: "Help investigate... me?"
Old policeman: "Yes, I wonder if you are willing?"
Donkey nodded shyly.
The police took out a pen and paper and said, "Okay, kid, we want to ask you, how did you get lost?"
Since he was found, Donkey Egg has been slapped by his biological mother, and was slapped twice on the forehead by his biological father. He was scared and wronged, and dared not even say a word. Now someone finally came to ask him why he was lost. Donkey Egg looked at his biological mother timidly.
"I, I was just playing, and suddenly I felt very sleepy... Then I found a haystack and lay down... But I didn't go into the haystack..."
Donkey Egg felt so wronged. They were playing a game called Catch Diet. Two people caught and the rest ran. Unfortunately, today, the two brothers and sisters caught the people, so he hid with Xu Dabao, who was the most familiar with him. He hid far away. In addition, he was sleepy, but if he went back, he was afraid of being caught by his brothers and sisters. So he thought about staying there and waiting for a while before going back, so he would definitely win.
As for entering the haystack, he didn't dare to do so. The adults had said before that a child from a certain family hid in the haystack and fell asleep. As a result, some naughty kid set the haystack on fire. He didn't know he was inside and was burned to death.
Whether this incident is true or not is another matter, but it undoubtedly scared Donkey, so he would never hide in a haystack, let alone a haystack that is sealed tightly and no one outside can see it.
When the police heard this, his expression did not change, but his tone became a little serious.
"Well, kid, did you meet any strange people when you went out to play today?"
Donkey Egg thought for a moment and said, "No, I didn't meet any adults today."
The two policemen looked at each other and their hearts sank.
Although Ding Zhaodi didn't understand what was said, she thought Donkey was lying when she saw the policeman's expression, so she slapped him on the forehead again.
"You damned child, if you hadn't gone in, how could you be in there? Who could have forced you in there?"
Donkey Egg burst into tears: "I'm telling the truth! I just didn't meet anyone today!"
"Tell me! Tell me everything! Don't lie!"
"I didn't lie..."
"Why doesn't it make sense that you didn't lie? You must have forgotten something!"
…
Ding Zhaodi wanted to fight again, but the old policeman stopped her.
"Comrade, please stop beating him. It's not necessarily that the child is lying. Maybe there are other reasons."
Aunt Liu knew that Ding Zhaodi was panicking and nervous after her emotional ups and downs, and was afraid that the child would say something inappropriate in front of outsiders, so she quickly stopped her and said, "Zhaodi, what are you doing? The child just came back, don't do anything. If you cry now, be careful not to wake him up in the middle of the night."
Master Ma also frowned: "Why are you doing this? The police officer hasn't finished questioning yet."
Adults are nervous, and so are children. You can't keep torturing your children just for the sake of face.
Ma Dalian stood timidly at the back, not daring to speak, but she was implicitly on Ding Zhaodi's side.
What a fool! How can he not remember it? Such a disgrace, just like his own father!
Several influential people had spoken, so Ding Zhaodi could only hold back and said with a smile, "No more fighting, no more fighting. I'm just anxious."
The old policeman: "Okay, kid, let me ask you again, where is the place you went to play today?"
Donkey Egg said aggrievedly: "It's a place I used to go to often, a big open space over at Sophora japonica alley. Zhuangzhuang and the others all live there."
"Who is Zhuangzhuang?"
"My schoolmates, his neighbors, his friends and his younger brother."
"So how long did you play?"
"Just like usual, we went out to play after school, and then came back when Zhuangzhuang's mom called us for dinner."
…
The two policemen asked and took notes, and at the end they both sighed.
There is no useful information at all.
But Wang Ying felt something was not right.
"Okay, that's it. Thank you for cooperating with the investigation. We'll be leaving now."
The two policemen said goodbye and left.
When Xu Shuang and Chen Dong came to the door, they just came back from get off work. Seeing the big hats coming into the compound, Xu Shuang's heart tightened. She didn't bother to make way for these people and rushed in.
Old policeman: “… What is this?”
Chen Dong cursed his apprentice in his heart, "You ran away when you saw the police. Are you thinking you are not innocent enough and you have to throw dirty water on yourself?"
"We live in this compound, and his wife is pregnant, so we are a little nervous."
The police nodded but said nothing.
The police left, and the dispute in the compound had just begun.
"Xu family! Are you all dead at home? Get out here!"
"Ma Dalian, don't be so harsh. Isn't it good enough if the child is found?"
"I found it, but your Xu Dabao is such a coward. Why didn't he tell me when he saw that I didn't come back?"
"How would our Dabao know that your donkey eggs haven't come back?"
"What the hell are you talking about! How many times have I shouted in the yard, "Have you seen my donkey eggs?" Have you stuffed your ears with donkey hair?"
"Auntie Ma, it's our Dabao's fault today. I apologize to you."
"Son, why are you apologizing? They are just bullying our family because we are small. Oh my God, I know you all look down on us. Our family is poor and we have only one son for three generations. You are trying to kill me..."
…
The old ladies in charge of the Ma and Xu families were holding their waists and cursing at each other. No one knew when Xu Lei came back, but he did not hide in the house, which was rare. Instead, he stood in front with a humble look on his face.
Seeing her son bowing to her mortal enemy, Aunt Xu was so angry that she didn't even bother to show her pity and immediately started to fight with Ma Dalian.
How could Ding Zhaodi bear to see her mother-in-law suffer? She put down her donkey eggs and started to tear them apart.
As soon as her daughter-in-law got off the stage, Zhang Yun, who had just returned home and hadn't even parked her bicycle yet, got on.
"How dare you bully my mother-in-law!"
Although she is a teacher, she also has a temper!
Chen Dong stood at the gate and didn't go in. He felt his pockets and found no melon seeds or peanuts. He lamented that Wang Ying and Xu Shuang had been too harsh on him recently. Then he watched the two families fight with great interest.
He usually lived in the backyard, so he usually didn't get involved in the disputes in the front yard. But he had never seen such a big scene.
Look at the old lady from the Ma family, all her hair has been pulled out.
Tsk tsk, Zhang Yun’s eyes are all blue. She doesn’t know if she can go to work tomorrow.
Oh, Mrs. Xu is lying down!
Well, Xu Lei also lay down. What a useless man. He can't even match his wife's fighting ability.
…
The dispute between the two families ended with the Ma family's great victory.
The Ma family has a large population, so they have an advantage in this kind of armed situation.
Ma Dalian, with a small bald patch on her head, spat and said, "Tell your Dabao to stop playing with our child in the future! You can tell a child's future by looking at him when he is three years old. He is no good!"
These words undoubtedly touched Zhang Yun's sore spot. Zhang Yun's eyes turned red and she looked like she was going to fight to the death.
The head of the university had a dark face. He was really screwed. Just now, when the two families were fighting, he shouted at the top of his voice but it was useless. They just fought in front of him. This guy simply didn't take him seriously!
He took great pains to find a group of people to help them find their child, but when he came back he couldn't even hear a word of thanks and had to watch a fight.
"Don't come to me for your college affairs from now on! I will go to the street office to separate you tomorrow! Dou Hongying, you will be the head of the college from now on!"
Aunt Liu was speechless for a while. She actually didn't really want to be a student at this university, right
Taking another look at the two families panting after the fight, I felt even more tired.
After all, Master Ma was related to the Ma family, so he coughed awkwardly. He lived in the courtyard next door, and although he was retired now, he and Daguanyuan were always on the same page.
"Don't be angry, old brother. Why are you getting mad at a youngster? Come on, I have some pork head meat. It's been hard for you to help find the child today. Let's cut some meat and have a drink."
He still had to make up for what Madalian's family lacked. Besides, even if the relationship was bad, they were still relatives who were connected by blood.
Master Ma dragged Daguanyuan out, and halfway through the journey a big black shadow suddenly appeared.
"Fuck... Old Chen, what are you doing?"
It was so scary that if you didn't know, you would think there was a bad guy hiding at the door.
Chen Dong smiled and said, "Old Ma, we haven't seen each other for a long time. How are you doing after retirement? Are your children still filial to you? Is your son learning cooking in a restaurant now? How is his study going?"
Master Ma was completely confused: "Old Chen, you are not sick, are you? We went fishing together a few days ago."
What do you mean by long time no see? At most we are no longer face to face in the hotel every day like before.
Chen Dong: "Oh, that's not important... Come on, let's go together, Brother Ji, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's have a good chat."
Master Ma: "Who hasn't seen you for a long time..."
Chen Dong: "Hey, let's go..."
He was so hungry that his stomach was about to burst into tears. He hadn't eaten pig's head for five or six days. He thought that since his apprentice was busy now, he should go and eat it and come back later!
He guessed correctly, Xu Shuang really had no time at the moment.
He rushed into the compound and saw Wang Ying standing aside, but he did not relax and forcibly took her back home.
Wang Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's nothing, I'm just watching the fun."
Xu Shuang: "You are in poor health now, so it is better not to join in this kind of fun."
Smart people are fine, because they all know what is important. I am afraid of stupid people, because when they get angry and start fighting, no one can tell where you stand.
Wang Ying was very interested: "Are they going to fight?"
Xu Shuang: “…Not yet.”
Wang Ying: "I won't go out. You open the window and I'll sit behind it and watch."
Xu Shuang: …
Wang Ying said coquettishly: "I really won't go out. It's freezing outside and I don't want to stay outside. I'll just stand by the window and watch."
Xu Shuang reluctantly agreed: "Just watch, and next time you see them arguing, don't go forward."
He just heard about this quarrel over the child, and he was afraid that the relationship between the two sides would not be good in the future.
Wang Ying nodded frantically: "Let me see!"
Xu Shuang moved a high chair for her and placed it by the window. She took off her coat and wrapped her in a rabbit fur blanket, and then put her by the window in a tight place.
I would heat the kang and cook.
Wang Ying was startled: "Ah! Oh my god..."
By the time the fight outside was over, Xu Shuang's meal was ready.
Although Wang Ying had eaten at the restaurant in the afternoon, she was hungry too quickly now. Four meals a day were the basics, and she still had candies and biscuits in her pocket when she went to work.
Xu Shuang fried eggs with black fungus, carrots and some mung bean vermicelli. The light dish was mixed with a lot of chili peppers, which gave it a spicy aroma. The staple food was steamed buns with yam and milk flavor.
The two went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said that if conditions permit, they should enrich the food variety. After all, it is winter, and the most critical months are cold, and eating cabbage and radishes all day long is not good for pregnant women. With the doctor's words, Xu Shuang racked her brains to think of how to enrich the food.
When they went to the city, they brought some dried vegetables, some dried black fungus, and eggs. However, there were not many pickled vegetables this year, only one jar each.
Logically speaking, this type of tickets is not rare, but Xu Shuang still tried every possible means to collect all kinds of rare tickets.
He traded peanuts and sesame with his colleagues, and bought brown sugar and red dates. Some time ago, a batch of lotus roots and yam came to the restaurant, and Xu Shuang changed his temper and asked the restaurant which factories the corresponding batch was distributed. He secretly went to several black markets and asked his master Chen Dong to help him find it. Finally, he stockpiled dozens of kilograms of yam and lotus roots at home.
Xu Shuang heard that eating yam was good for health, especially since Wang Ying had a big appetite recently. He was afraid that Wang Ying would not be able to digest the yam, so he added yam to the steamed buns and even asked someone to get a bottle of milk. The steamed buns with milk were so sweet that the fragrance made all the children around cry.
Wang Ying ate milk-flavored yam buns with spicy stir-fried dishes and finished her midnight snack happily.
The families outside also calmed down. The Xu family cursed and swore, while the Ma family scolded Donkey Dan. The Liu family was fine. Liu Zhigao and Liu Zhiyuan helped to look for most of the day and were so tired that they came back and took a shower and went to bed early.
After Wang Ying finished washing up and lying in bed with Xu Shuang, she couldn't fall asleep.
She rolled into Xu Shuang's arms: "I feel something is wrong."
Xu Shuang: "...What?"
Wang Ying whispered, "Don't you think it's strange to lose a child today?"
She counted on her fingers, "No matter how sleepy a child is, he can't be that sleepy. He can fall asleep on the side of the road. Is that possible? Also, why would someone put him in a haystack? Is he really a kind person? What kind person would do this? Putting aside other things, if we met such a person on the road, would our first reaction be to wake the child up? Or if there was really something wrong, would we call the police or take him to the hospital, right?"
Xu Shuang had already listened to Wang Ying's explanation of the whole story while they were having dinner, and gently stroked her shoulder: "But the police didn't find out anything either, right?"
Wang Ying was even more surprised: "It's strange that the police came!"
She asked Madalian to go find the police, thinking that she would register with the police first, and she did not expect the police to come quickly. After all, raising children now is different from the future. Children in the city run around everywhere and cannot be controlled. It is more likely that the child will get lost by himself. How come two policemen came as soon as Madalian went there
The police force was not as strong as it is now. There were only four or five policemen in a police station in a district. When people had problems, they would go to the factory, and very few could find the police station.
Wang Ying was certain: "There must be something going on here."
She explained to Xu Shuang in detail that some things disguised as food might be drugged: "Although medicine can cure diseases and save lives, some things can be very harmful in the hands of bad people. For example, if someone gives a child a piece of candy, you never know what might be in the candy. Anyway, I think it's not normal for Donkey Egg to be so sleepy."
Xu Shuang tightened her arms: "Just know it in your heart, don't go to the police."
Human traffickers are no different from other criminals. If they are not caught in one fell swoop and there are one or two left outside, they will retaliate.
Xu Shuang knew that Wang Ying looked lazy, but she always had an unusually high bottom line for major events. Just like the brigade opening a primary school, she was obviously not someone who liked to stand out, but she went straight to facilitate this event.
Including growing medicinal herbs later, Xu Shuang always felt that his wife was thinking of ways to increase everyone's income because the enrollment rate of the village primary school was not high. By the time they left the brigade, almost all the children in the seventh brigade, regardless of whether they were boys or girls, were sent to school.
Anyone who doesn't send gifts will be criticized.
Everyone knows that the Seventh Brigade makes money by growing medicinal herbs. Each child only gets one dollar to go to school, and paper and pens are used sparingly. Yet they still don't let the children go to school. This shows how cruel they are.
To sum up, Xu Shuang always felt that Wang Ying was a very kind person at heart. Whenever she met someone with good character, she seemed to help him within her ability.
Xu Shuang: "If you want to take care of this matter, I'll do it. You don't have to show up."
Wang Ying patted him on the shoulder and said, "You really think too much. I'm not such a rash person. I'm just discussing this with you because I can't figure it out."
"Look, this is a very strange thing. Aunt Liu just said that a child was lost in the county two years ago, and that case has not been solved yet."
"I wonder if the two things are related."
Xu Shuang: "You still think someone wants to kidnap the child this time, right?"
Wang Ying nodded hesitantly: "But I don't know why this person gave up in the end."
Xu Shuang thought for a while and said slowly, "You said that when the police arrived, they asked Donkey Egg if he had met anyone, and Donkey Egg said no. Is it possible that the person was not an adult... but a child?"
Although she was in a warm bed, Wang Ying got goosebumps.
"You mean... those kids who played with Donkey Egg?"
Xu Shuang: "You see, we didn't expect that Donkey Egg said that he was just playing with a few kids the whole time. Those kids included people from our compound, Zhuang Zhuang and his friends. The kids didn't ask where they came from when they were playing. If one of them sneaked in, it wouldn't be a big deal. Donkey Egg wouldn't take it to heart. It's not difficult for kids to share food with each other. When Donkey Egg got sleepy, the kids could just hide him. When the adults all went home, someone else would take the kid away. Isn't this done without anyone noticing?"
Wang Ying shuddered: "No wonder, no wonder, the people who later looked for the child said that a child told them about the haystack. Maybe it was that child!"
Wang Ying grabbed Xu Shuang's hand and said, "Neither you nor I need to be involved in this matter. You can pass a message to Master and ask if he has any connections at the police station. Then quietly pass this letter over. The sooner the better!"
Wang Ying touched her belly. "If it was before, I wouldn't have backed down if they had come forward to talk about it, but we have a child now... This group of people actually used the child to do such a heartless thing, which shows that they are vicious and have no bottom line. After all, they didn't kidnap the child this time, so there is little hope of catching him. We can't take the risk! You can ask Master to help and pass on the message, and we won't come forward."
And... what Wang Ying didn't say was that it was also strange that the other party gave up kidnapping the child.
The people who were looking for the child couldn’t find him, so why did they give up
Is it because he knew someone had called the police
How did they know this? Did they have a spy in the police force? Or did they have some other way to get the information
All of this is unknown, but it is frightening enough.
Xu Shuang hummed: "Don't worry, Master's network of connections is even bigger than you think. I will tell Master when I go to work tomorrow. Master will definitely find a foolproof method."
Wang Ying breathed a sigh of relief: "I just hope the traffickers can be caught soon!"
Otherwise, once her own child is born, she will always be worried.
It was late at night and everyone in the compound had fallen asleep.
Xu Lei got out of bed rustling, wearing a thick coat, hunching his neck, sleeves and hands, and wearing a pair of thick cotton shoes. He looked sleepy, as if he was going to the toilet.
When he got out of the door, Xu Lei's eyes changed, and he was no longer as drowsy as before. He looked around and saw no one.
He walked quickly along the path and arrived at a dilapidated house in less than five minutes.
He knocked on the door gently, and the person inside quickly opened a crack as if he was waiting for him.
Xu Lei flashed in.
This shabby house had a leaky roof and no one usually lived there. When Xu Lei entered, he saw three people sitting together, with a large pancake they had exchanged with others scattered in the middle.
"Hey, our Xu Lao San is here? Have you eaten yet?"
Xu Lei's eyes were grim: "You guys are still in the mood to eat? Tell me why you came to my house to look for goods today."
One of the scarred men laughed innocently and said, "It's... the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple."
"That's right, Simao saw a good opportunity and wanted to take someone away, but who knew it would be you? What a coincidence!"
Xu Lei said fiercely: "I think you guys are just waiting for me to be arrested, right? Are the previous rules bullshit? We agreed that I would give you some ideas before you act. Even if you want to pick up goods, you can only do so on trains and in the countryside. You are still picking up goods in the city, waiting to be caught, right?"
Scarface scratched his nose and laughed awkwardly: "It is indeed Simao who was careless... Come on, Simao, I'll give one to your third brother as an apology."
Xu Lei snorted and stopped talking.
But a small figure stood up, and in the dim light, his shadow was much smaller than that of others!
It's a child who looks only seven or eight years old!
However, when the child opened his mouth, he spoke with an experienced adult accent, and was actually just a dwarf: "Third brother, I was shortsighted today, I won't do it again next time."
Xu Lei reluctantly accepted the gift. He then urged, "Now that this has happened, it's not appropriate for you to stay any longer. Take the earliest bus tomorrow morning."
Scarface was unhappy: "Old Three, what are you saying? You don't want the idea anymore? Haven't you already decided? There are three in total, and we've even found the buyers."
Xu Lei said sarcastically: "Yeah, I found a good idea for you, but you insisted on picking it up first. Did you get into trouble?"
Scarface rubbed his face, somewhat helplessly: "Is it really impossible?"
Xu Lei: "The police have come to our compound, how can you take a day off? You should leave early, don't stop here. All the ideas for this year are no longer valid. Come back in the spring of next year at the latest. By then, I will find you six ideas to make up for it."
Scarface: "It doesn't have to be tomorrow morning. Let's check around in the surrounding communes..."
Xu Lei: “We must go!”
Several people looked at Xu Lei in surprise. Xu Lei's face was solemn. "Today, the police came not only here, but also two of them. The leader asked a lot of questions. Although he didn't get anything out of us, it's obvious that he has some suspicions. You just wait and see. They will go back and think about it overnight, and they will come to our yard to ask about the situation tomorrow. Although the fourth brother's disguise is good, once others figure out the trick, they will be doubly careful in the future. It's only a matter of time before they find out about you."
Scarface was made nervous by what he said: "Old Four has never failed before, right?"
Xu Lei: "But didn't you go there the year before last? I saw it today. The old policeman who came was the one who came to investigate the year before last. I'm most afraid of people like this who have handled both cases. It will be troublesome when they try to piece them together."
Scarface gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then we'll pack up and leave in a moment."
You can’t come to this place anytime soon!
Xu Lei informed someone and then left quickly.
As soon as he pushed open the door after returning to the compound, he came face to face with Ma Yongjun, the eldest son of the Ma family.
Ma Yongjun: “Fuck…”
Seeing that it was Xu Lei, he snorted, "Who am I talking about? I came to the toilet late at night and encountered something unlucky!"
Xu Lei: "...Brother Yongjun, your family has fought, but we live in the same compound, so our relationship shouldn't be so strained, right?"
Ma Yongjun: "Bah! You are not worthy of calling me brother! What's wrong with hitting you? Your child is innocent! Your mother and your wife also hit you. You are a bunch of worthless people!"
Ma Yongjun has a bad character and a weak brain. He felt great after beating Xu Lei today. He was a bit of a bully, and now that there was no one around and Xu Lei was talking softly, Ma Yongjun was so proud that he punched Xu Lei again!
Xu Lei was stunned.
Ma Yongjun was still humming: "Did you see that? If you ask your wife or your mother to bully us again, I will beat you up alone!"
After saying those harsh words, he sprinted to the toilet with his legs tucked together, totally ignoring Xu Lei who was beaten to the ground behind him.
Strictly speaking, Ma Yongjun's fist is not that powerful, but doesn't this mean Xu Lei is a fragile paper lantern
Xu Lei's fighting ability is really average, he looks weak. Not to mention Ma Yongjun, even a young wife in the compound can be pushed down by him.
After being beaten up by Ma Yongjun, Xu Lei was filled with rage.
Damn it! What a stupid bastard! Today, they shouldn't have kidnapped the second son of the Ma family, they should have kidnapped all the children of Ma Yongjun's family!
Xu Lei returned home with a gloomy look in his eyes. His wife Zhang Yun was also beaten badly today. She was lying on the bed, moaning and groaning unconsciously.
Xu Lei's eyes were full of disgust.
If it weren't for the cover of starting a family, he would never look down on a woman like Zhang Yun!
She prides herself on being aloof and innocent, and she takes any lies people tell her seriously. She is so stupid.
Xu Lei lay on the bed exhausted, calculating the time.
He couldn't do this job any more because it was too risky. At the beginning, Xu Lei was not a core member of their gang. He just helped them to get ideas and exchanged some information for money. Later, he joined forces with others and became a professional informant.
They have a small team of dozens of people, divided into several small gangs. Some are engaged in speculation, some are gambling, and some are kidnappers like him.
They take care of each other. Not only in this county, but also in several surrounding counties.
Most of them are locals, they all have families, children and stable jobs, so they can hide their tracks. They travel every two or three years, kidnapping several children at a time, and kidnapping a few more randomly in the countryside. A child costs at least 200 yuan, and if they are good-looking and smart, they can be sold for 300 or 400 yuan. Young wives are even more expensive, starting at 300 yuan.
If you do a few jobs a year, you can earn hundreds of dollars.
Xu Lei has now saved about a thousand yuan.
When he was done with this, he planned to kick Zhang Yun out. He would sell all the children in this compound before leaving! With the money, he could sneak away to the south and then sneak directly to Hong Kong Island.
When he arrived in Hong Kong, what kind of woman could he not find
With such a beautiful dream in mind, Xu Lei fell into a deep sleep...
Xu Shuang told Chen Dong his guess. At first, Chen Dong thought that his disciple was here to blame him for eating meat and drinking yesterday, but after hearing what Xu Shuang said, the old man's face turned black.
Although he doesn't want to marry or have children in his life, he doesn't like those kidnappers.
Even in the old society, kidnappers would be beaten to death if they were caught. But in the new society, there are still kidnappers. Chen Dong became even more angry.
"He turned into our compound. Haha, he is really looking for death!"
Chen Dong quietly found someone to pass on the message while he went to the black market after get off work. He came back soon with a breeze blowing on his face.
Wang Ying just came to eat after work, and was surprised to see this. Chen Dong whispered, "I found someone. That old guy is not a good-for-nothing, but he never touches anyone. I asked him to help keep an eye on it."
Wang Ying: "... I didn't realize that Master, you are good at both black and white!"
Chen Dong: "What black and white! He is a good citizen now! He just has many brothers in the old society. But the old man said that he might have already run away, and it will be difficult to find him. I guess the local informant will also have to hide. He will definitely get wind of it when these people come next time."
Wang Ying felt relieved immediately: "That's fine."
Otherwise she would be worried about being pregnant.
As Wang Ying was talking, she yawned. Xu Shuang came over to bring her food. Seeing her like this, she said, "Eat first and I'll take you back to catch up on your sleep."
Things were far from ending so simply last night. There was a commotion at the Ma family in the early hours of the morning. Wang Ying listened carefully and found out that little friend Donkey Egg had a sudden high fever in the middle of the night.
After all, she was a doctor, so Wang Ying couldn't sleep peacefully. She got up and dressed to instruct the Ma family to reduce the child's temperature. Then she felt that the child was not feeling well, so she found two herbs at home and fed them to the child. After feeding them, she urged the Ma family to send the child to the hospital.
After all this trouble, it was already daybreak. She was too sleepy to walk, so she simply went to work.
Xu Shuang made a bowl of pot-cooked noodles for Wang Ying. She mixed white flour with water to make a batter, and then spread it halfway along the edge of the pan, adding water when half was the pancake and the other half was the noodle soup. She must use lard and hot water, because the outside of the pancake has been soaked in hot water and is thicker. She then added a beaten egg, some chopped green onions, and two drops of sesame oil. It didn't look good, but it smelled delicious, light and warm. Wang Ying went back to sleep after finishing her meal, not realizing that the police had come and gone.
The old policeman was reminded of the problem with the children today. He went to ask Donkey Egg again and found out the living addresses of several other children. After comparing them, he found the key.
Among the children playing together, one is missing!
The old policeman immediately understood that there must be a child in the other team, or it was not a child at all!
The old policeman had heard about dwarfs being used to kidnap children in the old society, so he rubbed his face and started to connect with the incident from the year before last. He had already found out how the kidnappers had kidnapped the children, but the more important thing was... they were able to find people to deceive so accurately, and in the end they couldn't even find out the truth from the incident from the year before last by questioning a stranger. There must be a local informant!
After repeated comparisons, the veteran policeman successfully found a person who overlapped between the two. —Xu Lei.
In the kidnapping case two years ago, the families of the kidnapped children were all around the state-owned hotel compound, and one of them was even the family of a waiter like Xu Lei. This year's case was even more obvious. The victim reported the case and the child was returned right after. Only Xu Lei's family was in the compound in the meantime and knew that Ma Dalian had come to report the case.
The old policeman was not satisfied with just finding a nail. He called the files and made several phone calls to the police stations in several surrounding counties. Finally, he formed a guess. With a serious face, he reported the results of the investigation directly to the head of the county's public security department.
"Oh? You mean there's a big criminal gang?"
The top leader flipped through the report, his expression was not ugly, but rather a hint of anticipation. This report not only included local cases, but also unsolved cases in several neighboring counties. When the information was combined, it seemed that the other side was not a simple kidnapping gang, but a large organization.
"Notify all the jurisdictions. We won't talk about the guy running away this time, but if this gang comes again next time, we must catch them all in one fell swoop! And this suspected informant Xu Lei, keep an eye on him!"
