Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 583 Successive
Seeing that her man insisted, Luo Min walked over and put the bag on her shoulder on the desk.

As soon as she put her bag down, Li Yancheng reached out and grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms. Before she could react, she felt a kiss on her lips.

She glared at her husband with some anger, then signaled with her eyes at the telephone receiver in his hand from which a sound was coming out, and took a step back to prevent him from doing anything naughty again.

Li Yancheng smiled somewhat complacently, but did nothing else. He just raised his hand and pointed at the washbasin rack behind the office door.

When Luo Min turned around, she knew what her husband meant. He wanted her to wash her face. She nodded and walked over quietly. She picked up the towel hanging on the washbasin rack, turned around and raised it to signal. When she saw her man nod, she put the towel in the basin and started washing his face.

Seeing that his wife had already started washing her face, Li Yancheng turned his attention back to the phone in his hand.

"Old Zhu, you just said that one of your brothers met that old man in Mengou last month?"

"Yes, I have seen him, but Lao Kui probably hasn't noticed him. After all, he always comes here to trade in the dark of night. At most, he may have only recognized a few people like Qiangzi who often trade with him.

This young man went to Mengou to help collect tickets and accidentally saw Lao Kui. At that time, he had already collected all the tickets and was waiting for the bus to come back. Seeing that it was still early for the bus to come back, he quietly followed him.

Lao Kui probably didn't expect someone to follow him. He wasn't as vigilant as he was after every transaction with us. He was actually followed by my little brother to his home. Please remember it and I'll tell you the address."

"Well, you go ahead." Li Yancheng reached out and took a notebook, pulled out a dip pen from the pen holder, and dipped it in the ink bottle.

"The address my little brother followed that day was No. 6, Mengou District. Although this guy followed Lao Kui that day, he forgot about it after he came back and didn't tell anyone.

Then he was running around collecting tickets every day, so it was not until today that he heard from another brother that I was looking for this Lao Kui, and then he hurried over to tell me about it.

Yan Cheng, I hope I didn't delay your work?"

"It should be fine. I'll have someone go to the address and check it out. You should also keep an eye on it. He usually comes here once a week at the latest. So it will be in the next two days."

"Don't worry, I have made all the arrangements. As soon as he shows up, my people will go over and notify the local police station."

"Okay, that's it, thank you, Lao Zhu."

"Well, do we need to be so polite with our relationship?"

"Okay, you're welcome. Uh...if you encounter any difficulties when applying for your self-employed business license, tell me and I'll find a way to solve it for you."

"That's for sure. If I have any trouble, I will definitely come to you."

"By the way, come to my house after I finish my work in the next two days. I have something to talk to you about."

"Okay, contact me anytime when you're done."

"Bye"

After pressing the hook switch on the telephone, Li Yancheng dialed another string of numbers without delay.

Luo Min, who had already washed his face, walked to the desk, picked up the teacup on the table, and seeing that there was still water in it, he gulped down a few mouthfuls. Then he walked to the sofa and sat down, resting his elbows on the armrests, supporting his chin with his hands, and looking at Li Yancheng who was on the phone with shining eyes.

She likes to watch her husband at work the most. She feels that her husband is the most handsome and manly at this time. He exudes a unique charm that deeply attracts her.

Just like every time Li Yancheng was writing in the study, she was like a child who couldn't leave her parents. She always liked to find various excuses to go over and take a look whenever she had nothing to do. She didn't worry about whether this would disturb him or not, because she knew that her man was capable of multitasking, and she also knew that this man also liked to be stuck with her.

Sometimes she would often wonder what her life would be like now if she had not chosen the man in front of her eleven years ago.

Although it would be impossible to get the correct answer by guessing something that did not happen, she could be sure of one thing, that is, if it were not for this man, she would never meet another person who could love her to the core.

Even the two children can feel that in their family, Dad will always put Mom's affairs first, and of course, vice versa.

She had asked more than once why he was so good to her and why he fell in love with her back then, because she could feel that when her father hadn't had the accident and she was still working as a temporary worker in the street office and living in Yard 20, this man didn't have any romantic feelings for her, at least not obviously, because she didn't have a clear sense of it.

And every time her man answered, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

What did Li Yancheng say? He said that he fell in love with her figure at that time, just because of that hug.

The hug he was talking about was the kidnapping case that happened that year.

At that time, Luo Min went in first to replace Xing Lihua, who was already pregnant, from the criminal. Because this man was coming for Li Yancheng, he quickly went in and replaced her.

Before she left, she gave Li Yancheng a hug. It was that hug that made him feel the true condition of this woman's seemingly ordinary figure, which instantly aroused his lustful desire, but he did not show it in such a tense situation at the time.

So if he said that he fell in love with the figure first, it wouldn't be a random remark.

Luo Min herself knew that her man was particularly obsessed with her body, but she absolutely did not believe that her man only liked her body.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" While she was still in a daze, Li Yancheng had already put down the phone and got down from the desk, looking at his wife with a smile and asked.

"Are you fascinated by me?"

Luo Min's pretty face flushed slightly. She turned her head and glanced at the office door to make sure it was locked. Then she stood up and walked over, nodding as she walked and said, "Yes, I was fascinated by the masculinity of my man."

As long as there are no outsiders around, she can now speak sweet words to her man easily, and can also do some intimate actions calmly even in the daytime.

Just like now, after she walked over, she stretched out her hands and hugged Li Yancheng's waist, tilted her head, looked at him with sparkling eyes and continued: "Dacheng, I miss you."

"That's perfect, otherwise we would be a couple. I miss you too!"

Li Yancheng smiled and put his arms around his wife, holding her tighter in his arms. At the same time, he lowered his head and gave her a gentle kiss on her red lips.

"Are you going to work overtime tonight? You haven't been home for the past few days."

Although the two did not meet in the past two days, Li Yancheng would take time out every day to call her at school to answer the phone, so Luo Min was very clear about his whereabouts and knew that he had not returned home in the past few days.

"You don't have to work overtime, but something happened in Menggou. We have arranged it now. Come on, honey, let's go eat first. After dinner, we can go home if there is nothing else to do."

"okay"

……

However, plans did not change quickly, and after they finished their meal at the stove, they were ultimately unable to return home.

Just after finishing their meal and when they were about to leave, Jin Zhihai called and brought bad news.

The old man who sold oil was found according to the address provided by Zhu Yongyang, but he was a dead body.

Lao Kui's full name is Zhang Zhankui, and he is in his early thirties. He used to be an employee of the transit grain depot. Five years ago, he made a small mistake at work and got into a conflict with his leader.

This guy has a violent temper and beat up his leader after a conflict.

Now, the leader who was beaten called the police directly, and then this guy was thrown into labor camp for two years.

He had absolutely nothing to say about being sent to a labor camp. It was a mistake he made at work, and since he made a mistake, it was normal for him to be criticized by his superiors.

But he failed to control his temper and beat up his leader. This impulsive attack not only cost him his job, but also forced him to go to labor camp for two years. He also had to pay a lot of money to the person he beat up, which was a huge loss.

Fortunately, his wife hasn't divorced him yet. She works and takes care of the children alone, so he hasn't become completely alone after he was released.

According to his wife, it has been about half a year since Lao Kui returned from re-education through labor. Because he has no job, he stays at home every day. This guy has one advantage: although he has a bad temper, he has no other bad habits. He doesn't drink, smoke, or play cards.

He knew that he had no job and had to rely on his wife for support, so he just quietly took care of the house, did the laundry and cooked, and didn't cause any trouble.

This kind of life lasted for half a year. One day, he suddenly told his wife that he had found a job and could earn money.

His wife asked him what he was doing, and he said he was helping people sell things at the ghost market.

Although the woman felt that doing this was dangerous, she was also very clear that her man had been living a very depressed life in the past six months. After all, a grown man in his prime could only stay at home helplessly and rely on his wife for support. There were indeed many bored neighbors who gossiped about him.

So in the end she did not stop him and agreed to let Lao Kui go to work for others in the ghost market. She only told him to be careful, control his temper, and never fight with others again.

From then on, Lao Kui would give her some money every now and then, starting with about ten yuan a week at the beginning, then dozens, and then a hundred yuan. Until this summer, he came back one time and threw five hundred yuan in her hands, and she finally started to get scared.

What on earth is this for? How can you earn so much money in just ten days a week?
It's not like she hadn't asked before, but every time Lao Kui explained to her that he was just helping others count the tickets.

She had never been to the ghost market, let alone dealt with people who frequented the ghost market. She had no idea how much money those people could earn, so she felt at ease taking the money given to her in the past. To put it bluntly, the amount of money given to her at that time was still within her acceptable range.

But five hundred yuan...

But even if she asked again, the answer she got was still the same, just saying that business was good now and more people wanted tickets.

There was no way out, she could only believe her man's words with doubts.

In the past few months, Lao Kui would give her five or six hundred yuan every ten days of the week. Since nothing had happened, she gradually felt relieved, until the 7th, which was the day before yesterday.

She was not at home on the 7th because her father was sick. She took a few days off from work and went back to her parents' home with her children.

Because Lao Kui had something to do, he had agreed to go back on the 9th, which was today.

But she waited at her mother's house until the sun went down and no one showed up. Not only did she not wait for the person who was supposed to come, but she also waited for the police.

She was confused when she saw the police. When she heard the police ask her if she was Zhang Zhankui's wife, her heart was immediately in turmoil. She thought that her man was arrested because of what he did in the ghost market.

But when she heard the police from the local police station who came over say that her husband Zhang Zhankui died at home and was murdered, she was stunned for a long time, couldn't catch her breath, and fainted on the ground.

When she woke up again, she had been sent to the hospital. There were several unfamiliar police officers standing beside her bed. When they saw her wake up, one of them showed his work ID. She then realized that these people were from the city. It was they who went to her house and discovered that her husband was dead at home.

Preliminary judgment at the scene showed that her husband Zhang Zhankui had been dead for more than 24 hours when he was discovered.

"That is to say, this Lao Kui may have been working with the person behind the scenes two or three years ago, but he probably never got involved in the core business before, so he made less money.

Since this summer, he has been responsible for selling goods, or at least part of the goods, which means he has been exposed to the core business, and he has started to earn more money.

Zhu Yongyang said that this Lao Kui suddenly appeared three months ago, which is basically consistent with the time given by Lao Kui’s wife.”

After listening to Jin Zhihai's story, Li Yancheng thought for a moment and spoke into the receiver.

"The time is about the same. I have sent someone to inquire with Lao Kui's photo."

"Alas, once this guy died, the clues were lost again." On the other end of the phone, Li Yancheng shook his head helplessly.

"Let's not talk about him anymore. Let's see if we can find out any clues. Also, we can't relax on Lao Kui's wife's side. This woman may not know nothing as she says.

Another thing to note is that judging from the meticulous and ruthless style of the person behind the scenes, this woman's situation may not be safe either, so let's protect her."

"I know. She can't be discharged from the hospital tonight. I have arranged two people to watch over her."

"Well, Zhihai, have you interrogated the driver who caused the accident?"

"When he was brought in for questioning, he just kept crying. People from the criminal police team of Menggou Branch said that when they brought him in from the detention center, the people in the detention center said that he had been crying all day long since he was sent there, and he didn't even eat. He cried so much that he almost passed out several times, and he kept saying that he didn't mean it.

He was like this when we interrogated him. He couldn't utter a complete sentence. Sometimes he cried softly, sometimes he howled loudly, and all he mumbled were words admitting his mistakes.

A grown man crying like this, ah..."

"How old is he? Who else is in his family?" Li Yancheng didn't show any emotion at all. He asked with a frown.

"Forty-five, this driver is called Liu Erhong. His home is in a rural area east of Menggou District, close to the urban area. He has two sons and a daughter. His wife passed away seven years ago due to illness. The eldest son and daughter are already married. The youngest son is twenty this year and has arranged a marriage. The plan is to get married at the end of the year.

Oh, Liu Erhong's parents are still alive, and he has two older brothers. They are all from the same village. The hand tractor he drives was borrowed from the village commune. On the 6th, he went to the city to help the village deliver vegetables to the city."

"Delivering vegetables? Aren't vegetables delivered in the morning? Why does he go back in the afternoon when it's almost dark?" Li Yancheng asked with some confusion.

"Oh, it was added temporarily by the District Guest House."

"Have you checked with the guesthouse?"

"I've verified it. It was indeed a temporary addition. It was around 3:00 p.m. on the 6th that the District Government Reception Office asked the guesthouse to prepare two tables of reception meals for dinner."

"Don't fruit and vegetable companies have any? Normally, in order to prepare for unexpected receptions, fruit and vegetable companies should have sufficient spare vegetables every day. Why do they need to be delivered directly from the village?"

"The two tables of reception meals ordered by the District Government Reception Office are not ordinary reception meals. They include several wild game dishes, which are not prepared in advance."

So this is ah!

Li Yancheng said "Oh" as if he suddenly understood.

"Has this Liu Erhong always been the one delivering vegetables to the city?"

"We have investigated, and it's not necessarily the case. Usually, it's Liu Erhong or another person whoever is there who will come. As for that day, the production team leader who arranged for him to come said that he happened to be hanging around the entrance of the production team, so he was asked to deliver the goods.

If this traffic accident was premeditated, then Liu Erhong was deliberately hanging around the team gate at the time. In this case, the unexpected reception dinner on the afternoon of the 6th was probably also intentional, so that he could legitimately drive the commune's tractor into the city."

"No need to assume, it should be like this, Zhihai, I'm going to call Guo Fan now to ask who was entertaining the banquet that day and who arranged it. Wait for me to get through..."

Li Yancheng paused at this point, and after thinking for a while, he continued, "Why don't I call you? It's troublesome to pass the message back and forth. You can go directly to the district government to find Guo Fan. It's not like you don't know him."

"Brother, it's almost eight o'clock at night. Can Guo Fan still be in the office?"

"Then go to the district guesthouse. He lives there. I'll give you two phone numbers. One is for his office, and the other is for where he lives. Contact them first, and then decide where to go."

"Okay, you say."
