Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 258 Where to go
"This should be the situation now."

In the meeting room of the Intermediate Court, Su Xiaotong gave a narration of the case that he had sorted out, and then looked down at the notebook in his hand.

"Whether the mysterious middle-aged man is the Bao mentioned by the orphanage aunt, or the brother mentioned by Mao Chunan's technical secondary school roommate, this remains to be verified.

Someone has already verified the old neighbors who lived near Mao Chunan’s original family as introduced by the aunt at the welfare home.

I met a man this afternoon, but unfortunately, the old man seemed to be ill or something, and he had no memory of the past. His son said that the old man was sometimes confused and sometimes clear-headed. He would help ask when the old man was clear-headed, and would reply to us if he had any news. "

"Doesn't this old man's son have any impression of Mao Chunan's family?" Old Xu asked at this time.

"The old man's son said that Mao Chun'an's family must have moved here later, and when he was at home he had never heard of a family with this surname nearby.

Later, he worked in a restaurant in front of Zhengyangmen and rarely went back home. His younger brother was at home. His younger brother and his wife passed away two years ago due to illness.

He also provided our investigators with a few old neighbors from the same area, but since it was too late, we can only look for them tomorrow."

Okay! Lao Xu nodded helplessly.

Before liberation, that place was a gathering place for outsiders. After liberation, the area was renovated and most people moved away. Although they were registered at that time, it is not easy to find them now.

"Have you found Mao Chunan's childhood friend from the orphanage?"

“We found a few, but none of them provided any valuable clues. At best, we knew that such a person existed.

However, it was another auntie in the welfare home who provided some other information.

This aunt said that when Mao Chunan was sent to the welfare home after liberation, he did not look like someone being raised by begging.

Because among the first group of children sent to them, there were more than a dozen, and he was the whitest and fattest one."

At this point, Su Xiaotong sighed and closed the notebook in his hand: "The information provided by this auntie can only prove that Mao Chunan's mysterious brother is more mysterious, and it doesn't prove anything else.

This is the current situation of the investigation into Mao Chunan. I personally think that his subsequent change in personality has nothing to do with whether he was betrayed by his friends.

The reason why I don’t make friends and don’t interact too much with other people is simply because I don’t want others to know more about me.”

After listening to this, Lao Xu nodded and looked at Li Yancheng: "Yancheng, what do you think of Director Li who may not exist?"

"The first thing that can be basically confirmed is that Director Li should be a relative of the homeowner Liu Jiaquan or an old classmate of Liu Jiaquan, otherwise outsiders would not be so sure that the yard would be empty for a long time.

Secondly, between these two people, I am more inclined to believe that he is a relative of that old classmate. I even suspect that there is something wrong with the death of that old classmate. However, the body has long turned into ashes and there is no way to verify it.

The reason I made this judgment is that when Mao Chunan and Guan Weizhen entered and exited the courtyard, they behaved too casually when they met the neighbors. They should have known very well that the owner of the house was not at home and would not be back in a short time.

I also knew that the owner had asked a friend to look after the house, so I dared to ask when the neighbors asked.

This involves the question of what the friend who is actually asked to look after the house should do if a hostage really comes. This problem needs to be solved once and for all so that they will be safe for a certain period of time.

But I just can't figure out what they need that house for. If they want to deliver something, there's no need to do it in the house."

"That should be a temporary transit station."

Lao Xu spoke up and answered Li Yancheng's questions.

"Judging from the traces in the closet, there were a lot of clothes and possibly other supplies in there.

I think that is a retreat they arranged. For example, if there is an emergency evacuation, there will be no time for you to go home to pack your things. But the current situation is that if you want to travel far away, some things are indispensable.

That house should be where they stored some spare supplies. Now there is nothing there. Either the mysterious Director Li has moved away or he continues to hide.

Or maybe this guy has already left Beijing with these things.

Yan Cheng, do you think this Director Li could be someone in the project team?"

"I am more inclined to believe that this person is from the research institute. I even think that the research institute and the project team have been resisting the entry of our security department personnel, and this person is behind the scenes fanning the flames."

"Oh, why do you think so? Tell me more."

When Lao Xu and Su Xiaotong heard him say this, they immediately became interested.

“The main reason is that they are too united, with one unit having only one voice, which is simply unimaginable.

To put it simply, our people's move in does not have any conflict of interest with them; instead, we are protecting them.

Let’s not talk about the distant past, but just take the special steel research and development project of the steel plant as an example. Comrades from the Security Department moved in right from the beginning.

I have read some of the information. At that time, they only signed an agreement similar to three rules, which stated that comrades from the Security Department should not interfere with their normal work, but they would cooperate with the Security Department's prevention measures.

We are all intellectuals, so why is there such a big difference in our understanding of security precautions?
I personally don't think the arrival of our people will cause any other losses, except that it will cause them some trouble in dealing with certain matters.

But the boycott of the research institute here gives me the feeling that our people are going there to reap the benefits, which is something I have never understood.

I don't deny that the understanding of some issues among us uneducated people may be fundamentally different from those of highly educated intellectuals, but we are not here to work with them.

Another point is what I said before, they were surprisingly united this time, and it felt to me like there was someone behind this.

I personally think it is necessary to talk to each member of the project team one by one to find out what they are really thinking.

Haven’t the comrades from the Security Department already moved in successfully? Let them talk to those intellectuals. If there really is someone behind all this, then who is this person…”

He didn't finish his words, but Lao Xu and Su Xiaotong both understood.

We can indeed ask the comrades from the Security Department to talk to the project team, especially the middle-level ones. In case they can get some different information, that would be a clue.

"Okay, let's stop here for today." Lao Xu raised his wrist to check the time. It was almost twelve o'clock.

"I didn't get any rest last night, so I don't dare to stay up any more today. Xiaotong, please make some arrangements. Except for those on duty, those who should go home should go home. If they don't go home, they should find a place to sleep in the backyard."

"it is good"

When Li Yancheng heard Lao Xu asking him to go home and rest, he stood up immediately.

My dear wife, your man is coming back!

……

They can rest now, but a few old men cannot rest for the time being.

From the moment those letters were thrown in front of him, Chen Zhiyuan knew that his life was over and no one could save him.

When he woke up and faced interrogation, he revealed everything he knew like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

He felt great after confessing, but the four old men who were in charge of interrogating him felt like they were getting angry.

The person in charge of recording and the guard wished they could knock themselves out, because they never wanted to hear any secrets.

Knowing that they could not let Chen Zhiyuan talk nonsense anymore, the four old men hurriedly suspended the interrogation, leaving two of them here to watch this guy personally, while the other two hurriedly ran to report.

As for making phone calls, don't, there are many things you can't say casually on the phone.

After this report, more and more old men came over, and it was already midnight before they could come back for more.

Things have been almost under control, and those who should leave have left. Unlike when they came here with serious looks on their faces, when they left, although these people still had serious looks on their faces, there was a hint of relief in their solemnity.

Mr. Wang had not left yet, and he even asked Mr. Fang, who arrived later, to stay.

"Old Fang, you should know very well what you think of Comrade Li Yancheng. After this incident, the ability he possesses can no longer be concealed.

Whether for his own safety or for the sake of the overall situation, he can no longer stay in one place."

"Didn't Lao Su say to send that kid to full-time training?"

“What happens after the training?”

"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Mr. Fang said nonchalantly, picking up the cigarette on the coffee table beside him and lighting one for himself.

Elder Wang raised his hand helplessly and nodded at Elder Fang: "You, I know you still want to keep Comrade Li Yancheng in the bureau, but this is obviously impossible.

Lao Gu has already spoken to me today. What he meant was that Comrade Li Yancheng originally came from the army, and he wanted to take him back, so that kid..."

"That's impossible." Without waiting for Mr. Wang to finish his words, Mr. Fang directly refused.

"He has the nerve to say that Comrade Li Yancheng came from the army. How come they didn't realize that guy had this ability when he was in the army?

Now he wants to come and pick peaches, I tell you, Lao Wang, as long as I stay in this position for one more day, he will never even think about it. "

"Don't get excited, don't get excited"

Seeing that his old friend almost jumped up, Mr. Wang said with a smile, "Old Fang, don't get so excited. I didn't agree to Old Gu's request.

But what Lao Gu said makes a lot of sense.”

"what did he say?"

"He said that since Comrade Li Yancheng has this ability, the security department of their army will definitely ask him for help when they have difficult problems in the future. But if his identity problem is not solved, it will be difficult for them to invite him. Lao Fang, no matter if he is in the Social Affairs Bureau or even as a headquarters, he cannot interfere in the affairs of the army.

The reason why the Social Affairs Bureau was separated from the military organization at that time was because the boundaries were too vague.

Don't look back. We rejected Lao Gu here. He turned around and submitted a report to the higher-ups. Although the guy's rank was so low, it was a bit like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito, but this kind of exceptional thing has happened before."

"Then let's do this. After the training class that Lao Su arranged for that kid is over, he will be transferred directly to the Safety Committee as an expert or consultant. Lao Gu will also be a member of the Safety Committee. There should be no problem this way, right?"

Mr. Fang’s words made Mr. Wang’s breathing pause slightly.

The Safety Committee is not an office but a leadership body that belongs to the organization. Under normal circumstances, a safety meeting is held every quarter and all committee members must attend.

It's just that the levels of the committee members are a little bit higher.

Normally there is just a permanent office. Among Mr. Wang’s many positions, one is the office director of the Security Committee.

Of course, he is very busy with work, and the daily affairs of the office are handled by the executive deputy director.

It seems possible to create another advisory position in the Security Committee Office.

Just after the Hong Kong Island mission was completed, the rewards for Su Xiaotong and Dai Jun were determined, but this kid was a bit troublesome. Now it's settled, although the administrative level is a bit high.

But it's just a nominal position, so it's not a big deal.

Mr. Wang was just about to nod his agreement when he suddenly thought that it was really interesting that the two old men had worked hard all day and were still awake late at night, yet they were here discussing the work arrangements for a young man.

Thinking of this, Mr. Wang smiled and shook his head.

His shaking of the head confused Mr. Fang. What’s the matter? Is this arrangement not acceptable?
"Old Wang, what do you mean by shaking your head? Do you think that the boy was praised too highly?"

"No, no, no. I'm shaking my head because I think it's a little funny that two old men like us are here discussing the work arrangements of a young kid in the middle of the night."

"What's the big deal? We recruit talents regardless of their background. That kid has the ability. Even if we discuss it all night, let alone in the middle of the night, I, an old man, would have nothing to say.

Lao Wang, tell me the truth, what do you think of my suggestion just now? "

"I'm sure there will be no problem here. I'll meet up with the others later."

"Then let's go. We'll have a lot to do tomorrow. The storm is coming!"

"Ugh……"

The words "a storm is coming" made Mr. Wang's expression become solemn again.

He sighed silently, holding on to the armrest of the sofa and slowly stood up.

"Yeah, the storm is coming, I hope everything goes well!"

……

As soon as he stepped through the second door, Li Yancheng looked at the dim light still on in the study at home, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm.

There was a light in the darkness that was lit for him, which made him feel all the fatigue in his body disappear.

I took out the key and gently opened the door. The study door was not closed, and the light shone through the curtain into the living room.

"Meow"

The kitten sleeping in the living room flipped out of its makeshift cat bed, ran to his feet and rubbed against them, called out perfunctorily, then turned around and ran back to its own cat bed. After struggling to get in, it remained silent.

Li Yancheng didn't turn on the light in the living room. He took off his coat and hung it on the clothes rack behind the door. Then he changed into slippers, picked up the washbasin and towel quietly and walked out of the room again.

A few minutes later, after he finished washing up and gently pushed open the bedroom door, he heard his wife's voice.

"Dacheng?"

"Hey, did I wake you up, wife?"

"I thought you would be back tonight. I haven't slept well yet."

"click"

Luo Min, lying on the bed, reached out and turned on the bedside lamp.

"Why are you still sleeping with your clothes on? Aren't you uncomfortable?"

When the lights came on, Li Yancheng discovered that his wife was still wearing a sweater and pants.

"It's not uncomfortable. Do you think everyone sleeps without clothes like you?"

"Isn't that comfortable? Come on, honey, I'll help you take it off."

"Myself……"

Before she could finish her words, Luo Min saw the pair of big hands that could easily make her whole body warm reaching out to her.

"You didn't sleep last night, aren't you tired?"

"I was feeling sleepy, but when I saw my wife I became energetic again."

"Be careful not to tear it."

"It's okay. If it rots, I'll make it again for you."

"Click" the desk lamp went out again.

"Well"

The faint sound made the kitten sleeping in the living room move its two erect ears alertly.

Action No.1 Intermediate Court

The middle-level leader on duty tonight is the captain of the second team, Wang Maofei.

After finishing the records of the afternoon visit in the office, he got up and walked out of the office to the house where Huai'an was imprisoned.

He couldn't explain why he came to see this guy who had been arrested for a week and who had cried and sobbed when he was first arrested and confessed everything clearly.

Shi Huaian was a little nearsighted, but the degree was not particularly high. After he was arrested, they took away his glasses because they were worried that he would commit suicide.

He didn't eat or sleep well this week, and most of his hair turned gray. He looked nearly 20 years older. If someone who didn't know him saw him, they would never think he was only 40.

Hearing the door open, he, who had not slept well to begin with, turned over, sat up, and curled up in the corner.

He was like this, not because someone beat him after he was caught or something.

Instead, he thought that the person who came in the middle of the night might be here to shoot him.

The most painful time for a person is not the moment facing death, but the time when he knows that he is going to die and waits for death to come.

In the past few days, whenever there was any movement at the door of the detention room, he looked like this.

"Shi Huaian"

"Are you going to take me to the execution ground?"

Looking at Shi Huaian, who was curled up in the corner, shaking like a sieve, Wang Maofei grinned.

"Come here, I want to ask you something. Don't be afraid. Even if I have to take you to the execution ground, it won't be at night."

"really?"

"If I really want to take you to the execution ground, do you think I can't catch you if you hide in the corner?"

After hearing Wang Maofei say this, Shi Huaian's trembling body felt a little better. He moved to the ground with the help of the wall and slowly walked to the iron fence.

"What do you want to ask? I've told you everything I know."

"Come on, have a cigarette first."

Shi Huaian didn't smoke before. This was the first time he smoked after being arrested.

"Shi Huaian, do you usually have contact with Guan Xiaofeng at work?"

"Guan Xiaofeng? Oh, you mean the woman whose son is a fool, right? She's in the review group."

Knowing that he would not be taken to the execution ground, Shi Huaian's frightened heart finally calmed down.

"Yes, that's her."

"I'm not familiar with her. She's not from our instrument factory. She just came here from the research institute when the project team was preparing. She was supposed to live in a single dormitory, but because of her son's situation, our factory director Fan vacated his house and lent it to her."
