Chapter 516 Arrest
At the same time, Liu Zhang was howling in the police station. This time she was really sad, with tears and snot streaming down her face. However, she did not use her dead old man as a shield this time.

Liu Zhang couldn't understand why. It was one thing for her daughter-in-law to point out her, but she had raised her son and grandson with great difficulty, so how could they point out her?
After scolding everyone one by one, Liu Zhang started to make amends for her son and grandson.

My son must have drunk the magic potion Chu Chunxue gave him and been bewitched. My grandson is still young and must have been fooled by his daughter-in-law. I am right. I did everything for this family!
Liu Zhang cried bitterly, and the people at the police station did not try to persuade her. They just let her cry like that. When she got tired of crying and lost her courage, they would ask her again when the time came.

In the past, there were cases of using violence to obtain confessions, but this has been repeatedly prohibited from happening, so now we pay a lot of attention to evidence.

As expected, with the testimony of the family members, Liu Zhang realized that it was useless to throw a tantrum, and after crying enough, she finally admitted everything.

Liu Zhang was transferred to another room for detention, and the person in charge started to sort out the materials. Yesterday, a "detention warrant" was issued to her family, which only needs to be signed by the director. The maximum detention period is seven days.

The next step was to compile the materials and, based on Liu Zhang’s background, request an arrest on charges of making a false alarm that affected normal office order, fraud, and slander.

The arrest must be reported to the Municipal Bureau for approval. After approval, the Municipal Bureau will issue an arrest warrant and the execution team of the detention center will pick up the person.

As for the final verdict, the materials must be submitted to the Legal Affairs Department of the Municipal Bureau. The Legal Affairs Department will decide whether to request a sentence or reeducation through labor based on the circumstances.

In the past, case handlers had the right to recommend sentencing and handling opinions, but now they don’t, which has reduced the burden on grassroots units.

The municipal bureau of the public security system moved to Dongjiaomin Lane last year, not far from Huashi Street. After sorting out the materials, the person in charge rode his bicycle and left. The police station is now crowded with people, so they deal with each case one by one. The municipal bureau is also aware of this situation, so they handle it quickly.

Xu Hui took this matter very seriously, and the police station also took it seriously. In the afternoon, comrades from the detention center's execution team came on a sidecar to pick up the person.

There are many names for sidecars, and they are called differently in different places, including but not limited to: 龉子, side three-wheeled vehicle, sidecar motorcycle, sidecar, crutch, crosscar, sidecar, sidecar motorcycle, sidecar, baga vehicle, and so on.

The reason why it is called "Baga Car" is that the Japanese were equipped with this kind of three-wheeled vehicle when they invaded China.

The prototype of sidecar tricycles appeared abroad around 1900. As the technology gradually matured, it was widely used in the military during World War II. The most famous one at the time was the BMW R71, which was used to carry people and also to mount machine guns.

The Soviet Union copied the BMW R71 and named it Ural-M72. The domestic sidecar industry started with copying the Ural-M72 and it was successfully copied at the end of 57, namely the famous Changjiang 750.

Since the Great Leap Forward began in 58, the demand for sidecar three-wheelers increased greatly in various regions. In addition, due to technical and material reasons, the production of three-wheelers increased, but the quality was not very stable.

The postal service also purchased a batch of vehicles for rural mail delivery in an attempt to achieve mechanized postal routes, but due to the high failure rate, they were abandoned after half a year and switched back to bicycle mail routes.

The comrades from the execution team came to the Huashi Street Police Station, completed all the formalities, and cooperated with the comrades from the police station and the street to take Liu Zhang to the Tielu Guluba.

Liu Zhang's behavior was not a serious crime. Under normal circumstances, it would be fine. At most, she would be scolded and asked to be under strict supervision by security guards. But the situation was different this year, as food was in short supply.

Neither the street nor the police station wants to see any imitations, so when it comes to enforcement, they just stick to the upper limit within the rules.

Not only was an arrest warrant shown to the family, but notices were also posted on the street reminding residents not to imitate Liu Zhang's actions.

Before the National Day, the public security system still wore white tops and jackets. Starting from the National Day, they gradually changed to the Type 59 police uniform, which was all blue.

The neighbors looked at the man in the blue uniform and the big hat and understood the consequences of doing such a thing.

Liu Zhang lowered her head, looked gloomy, and looked like she had accepted her fate.

There were quite a few neighbors pointing and talking about it. The last time it was this lively was a few years ago when we cleared out all kinds of people who were making money through illegal means. Wow, almost everyone who was at home came out to watch the fun.

Watching the sidecar go away, a gossipy woman sneered, "Mrs. Liu Zhang is so lucky to be able to ride on a sidecar today."

"Do you want this blessing?" someone nearby asked.

"Forget it. I can't afford it. Not everyone has this kind of blessing."

Listening to the neighbors' laughter and gossip, Chu Chunxue was very angry. Although her mother-in-law didn't treat her well, they were still family after all.

Chu Chunxue was angry, her face flushed, and she turned her back to the neighbors who were pointing and talking, and went to the street office to get the grain book and grain coupons. All the grain for this area had been collected yesterday, and only her family was left. This matter was concluded today, and it was time to live a good life from now on...

Tang Zhitong worked hard and finally finished all the missed work, and went to the escort department again in the afternoon.

"Chief Tang, here is a letter for you." After entering the room, Ma Wei handed the letter to Tang Zhitong.

"Thank you." Tang Zhitong took the letter and put it on the table. He packed his things and then picked up the letter.

The mailing address was the Municipal Bureau. Tang Zhitong couldn't guess who it was from, but it was definitely not official business.

We all work in the same unit, so if we have official business, wouldn’t it be nice to just make a phone call?
After opening the letter, Tang Zhitong first looked at the signature, which was Cheng Hai.

The content of the letter was not complicated. It was just a few random and polite words, and he casually told Tang Zhitong that Zhang Xinping had been transferred to the Municipal Bureau and was working at the Criminal Investigation Department in Dongjiaomin Lane.

Tang Zhitong smiled. This Cheng Hai was very interesting and had a good grasp of the ways of the world. If he didn't want to continue to be close to Zhang Xinping, he could just ignore this sentence. If he still wanted to continue to have contact with them, he would have to pay attention to the reply.

Tang Zhitong certainly didn't want to break off relations with Zhang Xinping. Last time, he gave him a valuable gift and asked him to take special care of that arrogant woman. He didn't know how well he was doing.

Tang Zhitong put the letter away and decided to sort out the work at hand first.

There was a follow-up to the returned letters reported by Fang Yuan. The day before yesterday, the Municipal Bureau asked the sorting department to take away a batch of returned letters that were picked out that day. It was said that some of the returned letters were empty. When they were looked at under the light, they were empty.

After the ministry learned of this situation, after discussion, it was decided to require the escort department to pick out all the envelopes during sorting, carefully identify them, and bring all the empty envelopes with no substantial content back to the capital.

Fang Yuan bargained well for this, and although the ration did not increase, he got some cooking oil and meat and eggs, so it was not in vain. "Chief Tang, have you seen the notice outside the door? The office said that coal will be distributed starting tomorrow." Ma Wei asked Tang Zhitong at the right time after he finished reading the letter.

"Oh, really? I didn't notice it. How many kilograms per person? Is it written on the notice?" Tang Zhitong guessed that this might be the arrival of the coal that Director Hu had "extorted" from Yan Xiongfei.

"They said each person should weigh 50 kilograms and bring their own utensils."

"Okay, thank you. We have to pay attention when we pay salaries. I guess we will still have to deduct the money." Tang Zhitong thanked Ma Wei.

"Well, that... Chief Tang, is your family short of coal? I'll give you my share." Ma Wei had been thinking about what to do with her share of the coal since she saw the notice in the morning. She didn't have to worry about these things at home. Although she didn't want to admit it, the main reason was that she disliked coal because it was too dirty.

"Oh, thank you for thinking of me when you have good things." Tang Zhitong smiled and said politely to Ma Wei. He didn't ask Ma Wei why she didn't want it, nor did he say that he wanted it. After all, the two of them were nominally in a superior-subordinate relationship. Even if he gave the money, it would not be inappropriate in the eyes of someone with ulterior motives. What's more, he was not short of coal, so there was no need to get into trouble over a few cents.

After thinking it over for a while, Tang Zhitong said, "I have a small suggestion for your reference. It would be more appropriate to give your share to the young lady who got off work with you. The weather is cold, and there are more people who add icing on the cake than those who help in times of need. Although it is not much, the friendship is strong. When they go home and burn coal, they will think of your kindness. Don't you think this makes sense?"

"Okay, thank you Chief Tang. I'll give it to her then." Ma Wei was not angry. Instead, she accepted it humbly. A while ago, she followed Chief Tang to learn how to make tables and do analysis. She went back and told her father about it. Her father agreed with this method and praised the table for being more intuitive and being able to directly extract data.

Tang Zhitong smiled and waved his hands without responding.

After finishing the work at hand, Tang Zhitong leaned on his arm, supported his chin with his hand, stared at the form on the table with lifeless eyes, and wondered in his mind how to bring the food home today.

I only brought a lunch box today, but there are several dishes. Should I ask Chef Gao to borrow tableware from the cafeteria?
Since the escort department built a small canteen in the summer, corresponding equipment has also been added, after all, it is needed for entertaining guests.

Not to mention that Master Gao has been in a lot of trouble recently because of the increase in volume. Even if he borrowed the plate, it would be difficult to explain when he returned. After all, the plate is not a lunch box. How can he take it home without spilling any soup?
After much thought, Tang Zhitong decided to just use a few lotus leaves used to wrap the roast duck.

The lotus leaves nowadays are a bit like take-away boxes in a few decades. They certainly cannot hold soups or liquids, but slightly liquid contents are fine.

Even if it gets on the lotus leaves, it will not be wasted. After returning home, you can wipe it with steamed buns, and then cut the lotus leaves into pieces to cook porridge. This not only avoids waste, but also brings the fragrance of lotus leaves. It has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and supplementing vitamin C. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After get off work, Ma Wei still left first, followed by Tang Zhitong.

Tang Zhitong prepared a portion of braised pork, a portion of twice-cooked pork, and a portion of fried hairtail, then put on his cold-proof suit and went home.

Since the food was hot, Tang Zhitong didn't plan to bring corn home today. When Zhang Guifang asked about it, he planned to buy food from a restaurant after work and get away with it by saying it was inconvenient to bring it home.

When he reached the entrance of Tielugu Hutong, Tang Zhitong was stopped by One-eyed Lao Zhu.

"Uncle Zhu, you called me?" Old Zhu's voice was quite loud, and Tang Zhitong couldn't pretend not to hear him. He was afraid that he would come home and find him eating meat, so he simply stopped.

"Eh, the Liu Zhang family has become famous today..." Old Zhu knew that the two families had a feud, so he deliberately looked out through the door, waiting for Tang Zhitong to come back and show off his abilities. This kid is incredible, it's been less than two years, and he's already become famous.

Tang Zhitong handed Lao Zhu a cigarette and listened to him chattering patiently, just for fun.

When Tang Zhitong heard the charge against Liu Zhang, he wondered why it wasn't speculation. After a little thought, he realized that this term probably hadn't appeared yet.

It's funny to say that speculation was originally reserved for small vendors, but after the dual-track system was introduced, small-time crimes could no longer be compared with the issuance of a ticket, but I haven't seen many ticket holders being imprisoned for this crime...

After talking about the glory of Liu Zhang, Lao Zhu talked about the unforgettable love story between Lao Lu and Liu Zhang...

Tang Zhitong was not surprised at all. Although some things were done in a covert manner, they did exist. For example, a certain singer looked like a crosstalk performer, as if they were cut from the same mold.

After some calculations, it’s still a few years before the singer is born, but it will be soon.

Tang Zhitong nodded and laughed, but he was not really interested in these things. He was not like some people who had unusually strong tastes. Bai Yueguang was a middle-aged or elderly woman...

"Oh, thank you, Uncle Zhu. I have to go home and see you later." After listening to the two stories, Tang Zhitong smoked two cigarettes. Seeing Xiao Wang and Feng Zhen coming over on bicycles, Tang Zhitong simply gave the remaining half pack to Uncle Zhu.

According to what was said decades later, this was definitely useless social interaction, but after all, living in such an alley, it was not good to be too isolated from the masses, and it was good to have such ears and eyes, at least you could know any movement yourself.

"What are you talking about? It's winter, and you don't even feel cold." After entering the room, classmate Xiao Wang made a rare complaint, mainly because he thought Tang Zhitong didn't take care of himself.

"Well, Liu Zhang has been arrested. I guess when she comes into the house, my mother will have to nag about her again." With Feng Zhen present, Tang Zhitong put the passionate past of Lao Lu and Lao Zhang aside for the time being.

"Come on, wash your hands and get ready to eat!" As soon as he entered the house, Tang Zhitong saw hot steamed buns and hot porridge, but there was no vegetable, so he began to "take" things out of his bag.

There are two packs plus a lunch box in total. The lunch box contains braised pork, and the two lotus leaf packs contain twice-cooked pork and fried hairtail.

"Mom, cut some more pork heads and make four dishes." Tang Zhitong folded all the dishes onto the plate. He didn't dare throw away the lotus leaves and put them aside for the time being.

"Wow! It smells so good!" Fengzhi stopped doing her homework, quickly got up to wash her hands, and then squatted in front of the table waiting for dinner.

"Oh, it's Chinese New Year, it's too extravagant." Student Wang knew that this was because it was his birthday and felt a little embarrassed.

"This is just the beginning. There are still two dishes missing compared to the first time you came here." Tang Zhitong unloaded his equipment happily. He has been here for a year and a half, and at most he can only eat a handful of dishes when he is at home.

The conditions were acceptable in the past, but after the new year, it became difficult to eat four dishes.

It is based on this situation that there is a saying that "you will never be able to eat four dishes in your life."

Everyone has his own understanding of this sentence. Tang Zhitong thinks that this sentence is an insult to someone who has no future, because "cadres go to the countryside with four dishes and one soup", not being able to eat four dishes, is a subtle irony that the other party will never be a cadre in this life.
