Siheyuan: Start with a big car

Chen Huadian knew very well that Xiao Qiuzi must have been caught by Li Weidong.

At this point, he faced two choices: the first was to pretend he knew nothing and leave quietly; the second was to step forward and inquire about the situation.

Chen Huadian is a very smart man. He understands that Xiao Qiuzi was brought here because Li Weidong and others have already investigated clearly the relationship between him and Xiao Qiuzi.

In this situation, if you choose to hide, there will be only one result, which is that your suspicion will become even greater.

Thinking of this, Chen Huadian quickly regained his composure, his face looking calm.

He straightened his collar and strode towards the other person.

Li Weidong had been staring at Chen Huadian. When he saw him make such a choice, he couldn't help but think: This guy is not an easy person to deal with.

However, Li Weidong had dealt with so many difficult characters before, so how could he take a small Chenhua shop seriously?
He pushed Xiao Qiuzi, signaling him to speed up.

Soon, the two sides met face to face.

Chen Huadian pretended to be very surprised, looked at Xiao Qiuzi and said, "Xiao Qiuzi, what's wrong with you?
How did you get caught? I told you a long time ago to change your bad habits, but you just wouldn't listen.

Now, you've been caught, right?
How sad your mother must be. She is still in the hospital. If she knew about this, what do you think would happen to her? Besides, your mother is about to have an operation. If the operation fails, her life will be in danger. "

On the surface, Chen Huadian was scolding Xiao Qiuzi, but in fact he was hinting to Xiao Qiuzi that his mother was still waiting for money for surgery, and if Xiao Qiuzi dared to betray himself, then his mother's medical expenses would be nowhere to be found.

Xiao Qiuzi immediately understood what Chen Huadian meant. His expression changed slightly and he said awkwardly, "Brother Chen, I did make some mistakes. Don't worry, I always take responsibility for my own actions and will never implicate others."

The meaning of this statement was very clear. He was telling Chen Huadian that he would never betray him and asked him not to worry.

Li Weidong almost laughed out loud as he watched the two people communicating in code.

In his opinion, it was naive and ridiculous for these two people to think that they could escape disaster by reaching an agreement.

Li Weidong strode forward, looked directly at Chen Huadian and asked, "You must be Chen Huadian, right? We are from the security department of the steel rolling mill. We suspect you are involved in a case and would like to ask you to go back with us to cooperate with the investigation."

Hearing this, Chen Huadian was shocked and said quickly: "Little comrade, don't talk nonsense!

I am an honest person, how could I do something bad? Don't slander me!"

Li Weidong snorted coldly: "Chen Huadian, do you think no one knows about the things you did before liberation?
You are too naive! I tell you, I have found a lot of witnesses now, and they can all prove that it was you and Xiao Qiuzi who jointly carried out this kidnapping.

Now I'll give you a chance. If you can tell the truth, I can ask my superiors to help you avoid severe punishment."

Li Weidong actually did not have any witnesses to prove that Chen Huadian had committed a crime, but he firmly believed that Chen Huadian was not aware of this.

Sure enough, when Chen Huadian heard that there was a witness, his face turned pale instantly.

After all, he thought he had done a very secretive job of instructing Xiao Qiuzi to kidnap Jia Zhang, but is there anything in this world that is absolutely foolproof?

Especially when he heard that there was a possibility of being shot, he couldn't help but gasp.

The reason why he chose to stop in time was not because he noticed the changes of the times, but because he was afraid of death.

He saw that those who controlled the capital were ruthless and would not accept his bribe at all, so he chose to stop.

Chen Huadian was panicked and said quickly: "Comrade Weidong, this is definitely a misunderstanding!

I didn't ask Xiao Qiuzi to kidnap anyone. We just wanted to get back the betrothal gift that was cheated away by Jia Zhangshi. He did these things on his own initiative.

After I found out, I gave him a severe lesson and asked him to release Jia Zhang, but he didn't listen. He even threatened me, saying that he would kill me without hesitation if I dared to tell anyone about this.

I am timid and was frightened by his threat, so I did not report the matter.

I am also at fault in this matter. If you want to investigate, I will go with you now."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Qiuzi's face changed suddenly, and he looked at Chen Huadian in disbelief.

He didn't mind taking the blame for Chenhuadian, but he could not accept being betrayed by Chenhuadian, because Chenhuadian's actions violated the brotherhood of the underworld.

Xiao Qiuzi pointed at Chenhuadian and said angrily: "Chenhuadian, what nonsense are you talking about!
At first you asked me to teach Yi Zhonghai a lesson, and then you asked me to kidnap Jia Zhangshi. You also kept staring at me and insisted that Qin Huairu bring the money before letting me release Jia Zhangshi. Why, now you don't admit it?"

"Nonsense! You ungrateful thing, don't forget that your mother is still in the hospital!"

Chen Huadian roared in anger.

Hearing this, Xiao Qiuzi laughed out loud: "Chen Huadian, do you think I will still believe your lies? You can even betray me, how can I expect you to help my mother?"

Chen Huadian then realized that he had made a serious mistake, but it was too late to change his words.

Fatty Yu was stunned watching from the side. He originally thought that there was no way to deal with the Chenhua store this time, but he didn't expect that Li Weidong would make the two of them blame each other with just a few words.

Fatty Yu waved his hand and said, "Okay, Chen Huadian, you are indeed involved in this case, I will arrest you now!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Huadian turned around and wanted to run, but how could he be a match for Fatty Yu?
Fatty Yu rushed forward quickly and kicked Chen Huadian, who flew out.

Fatty Yu rushed over, grabbed Chen Huadian by the collar and slapped him hard several times. Chen Huadian was beaten so badly that his nose and face were swollen and he couldn't utter a word.

"That's enough, Fatty Yu, don't beat him to death." Li Weidong saw that Fatty Yu was about to attack, so he quickly stopped him. He asked Fatty Yu to take Chen Huadian and Xiao Qiuzi back to the security department of the steel mill.

At this time, Chief Li, the head of the security department of the steel mill, was very happy to see the kidnappers being brought back. He said, "Brother Weidong, it's you who has captured both kidnappers in one go!"

Li Weidong said calmly: "This is just a small matter. The most important thing for us now is to rescue Jia Zhang."

Hearing this, Section Chief Li was a little confused and frowned and said, "Brother Weidong, I also know that Jia Zhang. As far as I know, that old woman is not a good person and often makes trouble for no reason. Why don't we take this opportunity..."

Section Chief Li didn't finish his words, but Li Weidong understood what he meant, which was that they could just ignore Jia Zhang and maybe let her fend for herself this time.

Li Weidong waved his hand and said, "Chief Li, although Jia Zhangshi is not a very good person, we still have to follow the rules.

If you want to deal with her, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, there is no need to do this."

Section Chief Li is usually a rule-abiding person. He made that suggestion just now only because he was very angry with Jia Zhang.

After hearing what Li Weidong said, he nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, brother Weidong is right. We don't need to waste our energy on such a person. I will go and interrogate Xiao Qiuzi now and try to find out the whereabouts of Jia Zhang."

After saying that, Section Chief Li walked into the interrogation room with the security officer.

In Li's opinion, Chen Huadian had been arrested and had no choice but to tell the truth. But what Li did not expect was that Chen Huadian did not say a word when questioned.

Section Chief Li patted the table, frowned and said, "Chen Huadian, you have to think it over carefully!

We are asking you this time to give you a chance.

If you can cooperate, I can report to my superiors and reduce your punishment.

But if you persist in your wrongdoing, then you will be guilty of an even greater crime!"

However, what surprised Section Chief Li again was that Chen Huadian remained silent after hearing what he said.

He closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and pretended to know nothing.

Now Section Chief Li was in a dilemma. You know, Chen Huadian committed kidnapping, which is a serious crime. Even if he confessed the matter, he would not escape severe punishment.

Moreover, Xiao Qiuzi is already over 40 years old. If he goes to prison, he may never get out in his life.

In this case, it is understandable that Xiao Qiuzi is unwilling to cooperate.

Section Chief Li asked a few more questions, and after confirming that he could not make a breakthrough from Xiao Qiuzi, he went to the interrogation room next door.

Compared with Xiaoqiuzi, Chenhuadian is much more cooperative.

After being threatened by the security officer, he confessed everything: "Comrade, I am really wronged!
I was originally a good person, but that Jia Zhang was too much. She cheated me out of hundreds of dollars. How could I just let it go?
It was indeed me who asked Xiao Qiuzi to do it, but I thought Jia Zhang was so smart that Xiao Qiuzi couldn't easily catch her. I didn't expect that she would really fall into Xiao Qiuzi's hands. I am really wronged!"

While Chen Huadian was crying out for injustice, he was secretly feeling lucky.

Although he could not escape the charge of kidnapping, he had just tested it and found out that these people did not know what happened to him before liberation.

In other words, as long as he kept his mouth shut, the security department could only sentence him for kidnapping. Of course, Xiao Qiuzi was also guilty, and the two of them shared the charge.

As long as you let your wife go out and move around, spend some money to find some connections, maybe you will be able to get out soon.

At this time, Section Chief Li walked into the interrogation room and questioned Chen Huadian: "Chen Huadian, where did you hide Jia Zhang?"

Chen Huadian quickly replied: "In a dilapidated temple."

Hearing this, Section Chief Li frowned and said, "What broken temple? Explain it clearly!"

Chen Huadian spread his hands helplessly: "Chief Li, I only know it is a dilapidated temple. This is what Xiao Qiuzi told me. I really don't know the exact location. You may not know Xiao Qiuzi. This guy looks honest, but he is actually full of tricks.

He is hiding it from me, so if you want to find that ruined temple, you have to find a way on your own."

Section Chief Li was an experienced security officer. After listening to Chen Huadian's words, he knew that Chen Huadian was not lying.

But now that liberation has just begun, there are dilapidated temples everywhere. Trying to find the specific one is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

In desperation, Section Chief Li had to report the situation to Li Weidong: "Comrade Weidong, we are in big trouble now. It has been half a day since we caught Xiao Qiuzi. If we can't find the dilapidated temple within two days, Jia Zhang will probably starve to death.

By then, our security department will be in big trouble."

Chief Li was right. Now they have caught the kidnapper but failed to rescue the hostage.
If this gets out, people will think they did it on purpose. Although Chief Li has the support of Li Weidong and has the final say in the security department, he also has many competitors. In particular, Deputy Director Wang, who recently installed a deputy chief in the security department, has always wanted to replace Chief Li.

Li Weidong had originally planned to go to the laboratory to check on the recent research progress, but after hearing this, he had to give up the idea.

He asked Section Chief Li to take him to the interrogation room.

At this moment, Xiao Qiuzi was still as silent as before.

Li Weidong did not interrogate him immediately, but lit a cigarette.

After taking two puffs, he smiled and said, "Xiao Qiuzi, if I'm not mistaken, you feel that you have no way out, so you don't care about anything."

Hearing this, Xiao Qiuzi didn't say anything, but his expression changed slightly.

Li Weidong continued, "You must also know that although your mother is in the hospital, the doctors will not ignore her, so her life will not be in danger for the time being, right?"

Li Weidong was right. In this day and age, hospitals will not kick patients out just because they have no money.

In cases like Xiao Qiuzi's mother's, the hospital will contact the street office, and the street office will help solve the problem of medical expenses.

Li Weidong continued, "But there is one thing you may not have thought of. If your mother knew what you did, do you think she would still be willing to accept treatment in the hospital?"

These words were like a heavy hammer, striking Xiao Qiuzi's heart hard.

He was raised by my mother, and no one knows my mother's character better than him.

Xiao Qiuzi's mother looks weak, but in fact she is very strong. Over the years, no matter how hard her life was, she never asked others for help.

More importantly, Xiao Qiuzi’s mother had repeatedly warned him: “You can be poor, but you can’t be spineless, and you can’t do things that are against the will of heaven and earth.

If you go astray and do bad things in the future, don't acknowledge me as your mother, just pretend that I never existed!"

If such a person knew that Xiao Qiuzi had committed a serious crime of kidnapping, the result would be predictable. Even if the leaders of the subdistrict office were willing to help Xiao Qiuzi pay for the expenses, his mother would definitely not accept the money.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qiuzi's face turned very ugly. He opened his mouth and squeezed out a sound with great effort: "Comrade Weidong, how do you want me to help you?"

Hearing this, Li Weidong nodded with satisfaction.

The reason is simple. When ordinary prisoners encounter this situation, they will first use the information they have to exchange for benefits.

But Xiao Qiuzi did not do so. Instead, he asked how he could help, which also shows that Xiao Qiuzi is not a bad person by nature.

Li Weidong smiled and said, "Now you have two things you can do for me.

First, tell me where Jia Zhang is hidden; second, tell me everything that Chenhuadian did in the past.

Don't worry, as long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I can help your mother cure her illness."
