Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 100: Lure the Snake Out of Its Hole (Subscribe)
Give interest?
For Yang Shourong, lending money to Zhao Mancang was meant to repay his gratitude.

You know, Zhao Mancang had helped him before and rescued his brother-in-law Qian Changsheng.

Qian Changsheng was in a very dangerous situation at that time. The back of his head was broken by the sharp stone. Even within 48 hours after the operation, he was still in danger.

It took several days before Qian Changsheng finally got better.

Therefore, in Yang Shourong's view, Zhao Mancang's request to borrow money was also a good thing.

Six hundred yuan is actually enough to buy a courtyard house in the suburbs.

Just as Zhao Mancang said, the private courtyard houses in the city are no longer available for purchase at this time.

So if Zhao Mancang wants to buy a house, he can only buy one in the suburbs.

Zhao Mancang and his wife can't live in such a big house, nor do they need so many houses, so a courtyard house is enough.

A sanheyuan house would cost at most a few hundred yuan.

Since Yang Shourong was borrowing money for the purpose of repaying a favor, it was naturally impossible for him to ask for interest from Zhao Mancang, and he would not ask for it.

"Thank you, leader, thank you, leader."

Zhao Mancang was not angry after being rejected, but was very happy instead.

It would be even better if the other party doesn't ask for interest, he can save a little.

After talking about this, Yang Shourong remembered the purpose of calling the other party, which was to give him a reward.

We had already mentioned the reward when we were chatting in the cafeteria private room last night.

Xing Shuqi and Shen Zhongxin were both present at the time, and the reward was finalized at the dinner table.

Zhao Mancang brought back so many surprises from the First Automobile Works, and the three leaders including Yang Shourong were very happy and satisfied.

Of course, there was one regret, which was that they did not bring back a car.

However, if they really bring back a car, I'm afraid they will be scared instead.

After all, even if Xing Shuqi went to Changchun in person, he might not be able to bring back a car.

With so many units across the country watching him, it would be strange if Xing Shuqi could get a car.

I heard that the First Automobile Accessories Factory in Beijing is also going to be upgraded and renovated to establish an automobile manufacturing plant in Beijing. Several leaders including Xing Shuqi are keeping an eye on this matter, hoping to get some vacancies next year or the year after.

As early as mid-to-late June this year, the Beijing First Automobile Accessories Factory had developed Beijing’s first car, the Jinggangshan brand sedan.

But this is a sedan, not the truck the steel plant needs most.

"Here, these are your rewards. Keep them safe and don't let anyone steal them again."

"Okay, leader. Thank you, leader."

Zhao Mancang was in a good mood. He took the money and bills and left the office happily.

Among the many tickets, his favorites were the three oil tickets worth one kilogram each and the seven meat tickets worth two kilograms each.

The cooking oil coupons were easy to get, as they were an extra reward given to him by the steel plant.

During the coupon era, the three most scarce items were grain, meat, and cooking oil.

The reason why there are seven meat tickets, each weighing two kilograms, for a total of fourteen kilograms, is so abundant is that the steel plant will be eliminating a batch of old cows, horses and other livestock in the near future.

Don’t worry about whether the meat of these livestock tastes good or not, it’s meat anyway.

Of course, the best meat is pork with fat, because this kind of meat is rich in oil and water.

Zhao Mancang himself doesn’t like fatty meat very much, he prefers lean meat.

But living in this era, he can only "keep pace with the times".

After coming out of the office, Zhao Mancang went to the security department to look for someone.

Li Baoguo, Han Xiaochuan, Xiao Shutie and others were all there. After Zhao Mancang explained his purpose, they all expressed indignation that they would definitely help.

"Don't worry, I'll buy a lot of meat and rice tonight and lure the snake out of its hole. You guys have to help me keep a close eye on it and don't let it slip away."

Hearing Zhao Mancang's words, Li Baoguo frowned and said:

"If the thief knew about your grand purchase, he wouldn't dare come back again, right? A thief isn't stupid. Wouldn't he think it was a trap?"

“They might, but they’re more likely to be hoping for a lucky break.”

Zhao Mancang followed suit and said:
"People are always greedy. If they stole once and didn't get caught, they'll inevitably become more arrogant and confident, and there's a high chance they'll commit crimes again."

"Besides, it would be strange if I didn't buy food to go home."

Li Baoguo, Xiao Shutie, Han Xiaochuan and others all nodded when they heard this.

It’s just because what Zhao Mancang said really makes sense. In that case, let’s make some plans and try to catch this thief as soon as possible.

You know what, Zhao Mancang has helped them so many times, and this time the security department is determined to help no matter what.

What's more, catching thieves is their job and it is their responsibility.

After discussing this matter with Li Baoguo and others, Zhao Mancang felt much more relieved.

After getting off work on time in the afternoon and returning to the city, Zhao Mancang went straight to the department store and bought a lot of pork, rice, flour and other food.

When the salesperson saw him carrying a lot of things, his eyes were full of envy.

As a salesperson in a department store, you have a good company, high salary and lots of benefits, especially those selling grain products, cooked meats, etc., who have the most benefits.

But even so, I still envy people like Zhao Mancang who buy things in an open and honest manner.

Look at the bag of rice and flour he is carrying, and the two pieces of pork strung together with bamboo ropes. It is so mouth-watering.

When Zhao Mancang was walking back from the department store to the Huguo Temple, he attracted 200% of the attention.

But the passers-by were very envious.

In Courtyard No. 18 of Huguo Temple, Feng Xiaoming, Wei Yuanchao, Ma Tingqiang and others were chasing and playing. When they saw Zhao Mancang coming back, they all stopped and stared at Zhao Mancang.

Lots of food and meat!

Last night, when Zhao Mancang came back, he also brought back a lot of Northeast rice, ginseng, tiger bone wine and other mountain products from the Northeast.

But it was too late last night and no one saw it.

It is evening today, and it doesn't get dark so early in the capital in summer, so you can still see clearly at this time.

"Brother Zhao, are you buying so much food again? I'm afraid thieves will come to your house and steal things again."

Fourteen-year-old Mei Chunyan was outspoken, but Zhao Mancang didn't mind. He got off his bicycle and said with a smile:
"I went to the police station this afternoon to ask about it. The thief will be caught soon. What are you afraid of?"

Regardless of whether it was to alert the enemy or to lure them out of their hole, Zhao Mancang had to vent his anger.

If there wasn't enough time today, Zhao Mancang would have gone to cause trouble for Li Dahua.

"Ah? Are they really almost caught?"

It was at this moment that Aunt Luo suddenly screamed, and then she reacted belatedly and quickly covered her mouth.

Isn't this Aunt Luo confessing herself?
Zhao Mancang had a blank expression on his face, his eyes flashing with danger as he stared at Aunt Luo and asked word by word:

"Aunt Luo, it seems you're very concerned about this case. Do you know something? Or were you the one who stole things from my house that day?"

At this time, Aunt Luo suddenly panicked and stopped repeatedly to indicate that she did not steal it and she did not see who stole it.

"Since Aunt Luo doesn't want to speak out, that's fine. I'll ask the police from the police station and Aunt Liu from the neighborhood office to come over and talk to you."

After hearing what Zhao Mancang said, Aunt Luo became even more panicked.

In her panic, she still knew to get up and run back to her home.

But even if she could escape for a while, could she escape forever?
"Chunyan, do you know if there's been any unusual behavior at Aunt Luo's house these past few days? For example, is there suddenly a lot of meat or food in the house?"

After retracting his gaze, Zhao Mancang looked at Mei Chunyan, wanting to confirm something from the latter.

"Yes, yesterday at noon, I passed by Aunt Luo's house and smelled the aroma of meat. It must be pork. But I didn't see anyone from their family buying meat, and it seems no one in the yard heard them mention it either."

Courtyard No. 18 is not big, but it is home to hundreds of people.

Apart from those who often need to go out to work, most of them are housewives and children. They basically stay at home and rarely leave the yard.

Therefore, whoever buys meat will basically not escape everyone's eyes.

Whenever someone buys meat, there will definitely be a lot of people talking about it. There is absolutely no doubt about it.

Aunt Luo's family ate meat yesterday, but not many people knew about it.

It seems that Aunt Luo is the key to breaking the deadlock.

Zhao Mancang nodded to Mei Chunyan, then walked into the yard.

At home, Lin Wan had already gone to pick up Lin Huijun, and was now curiously packing up the mountain products that Zhao Mancang brought back last night.

"Mancang, you're back. Did you bring all this back last night? I saw a lot of rice and bacon. Why did you buy pork again today?"

Lin Wan saw Zhao Mancang carrying bags in his hands, which were full. The little greedy cat had bright eyes and ran over with his short legs to help him.

Unfortunately, the goods were very heavy, and Lin Huijun, who was only four years old, naturally couldn't lift them.

Even so, she still used all her strength to lift it up, and her cute little face was squeezed into a ball.

"I told you this morning, of course you have to buy it. Besides, this bacon is already made and won't go bad. What are you afraid of?"

Zhao Mancang smiled, put his things down, and took out a box of crispy biscuits from among his luggage. "Little greedy cat, I bought this for you. Eat it quickly."

"Wow, thank you uncle." Lin Huijun was so happy when she saw it and said sweetly.

The little hand took the biscuit, put it in his mouth and took a bite. It was so delicious.

"Mom, please eat quickly. The pastries my uncle bought are so delicious."

Lin Wan glared at Zhao Mancang, then put the box of pastries away. "One is enough. No more. Save it and eat it tomorrow."

"Don't spoil her. Didn't you say this morning that you wanted to save money to buy a house? Why are you spending money so lavishly now?"

Zhao Mancang smiled and helped pack up the things he had bought:

"You have to save money, buy a house, and live your life."

"We work so hard to make money so that we and those around us can live better. If we are too frugal and don't spend the money, then what is the point of working hard?"

"I can't argue with you. I'm going to cook." Lin Wan rolled her eyes and didn't want to argue with him.

However, Zhao Mancang stopped her and briefly told her about the conversation he had just had with Aunt Luo at the door.

At the same time, he asked her some details about the police station’s visit to handle the case that day.

Aunt Luo didn't say anything to the police that day and remained silent.

In addition, based on the experience points Zhao Mancang received through the system, he could also roughly judge that Aunt Luo was very likely to know something, or that she knew who did it.

"Wan'er, you cook first. I'll go to the street office."

Lin Wan nodded. Lin Huijun wanted to go out and play with them, but was stopped by her mother.

When Zhao Mancang walked through the front yard, he glanced at Aunt Luo's house, then walked out without looking back.

He couldn't go to the police station, after all, there was a public security officer named Fang Wenzhong who was targeting him. If Zhao Mancang went to the police station to seek help now, he would most likely be turned away.

There is still no big problem with the street office. Not to mention Aunt Liu Juan, even the director of the street office, Guan Shicong, Zhao Mancang can give him some gifts and he can still help him deal with this matter.

Half an hour later, Aunt Liu Juan followed Zhao Mancang back to Courtyard No. 18 and went straight to Aunt Luo's house.

"Comrade Luo Caixia, regarding the theft at Comrade Zhao Mancang's home that day, I hope you can answer truthfully. Was it you who committed the theft, or was it someone else?"

At Aunt Luo's house, after Liu Juan came in, she started to chase people away.

Liu Juan gave Luo Caixia a chance. She did not take her directly back to the street office for questioning, nor did she go to the police station to call for help. Otherwise, the latter might have been scared to death.

There were only Luo Caixia, Liu Juan and Zhao Mancang in the room. As for the former's family, they were all kicked out.

"Aunt Liu, I really don't know. I was sitting in the corridor of the middle courtyard that day, and I only saw a figure passing by. How could I know that person was not from our courtyard?"

Luo Caixia was a little flustered at this moment, but she still didn't say the key point.

"Since you saw all of this, the police came over to investigate and question you that day, and I've stressed to you many times that you must cooperate with the police, why didn't you say anything?"

Zhao Mancang, who was standing aside, did not say anything, but just listened quietly to the conversation between Liu Juan and Luo Caixia.

After Aunt Liu asked for a long time, there was still no result. Even if she asked what Zhao Mancang knew, Luo Caixia still hoped for a lucky break and did not reveal it.

When Zhao Mancang saw this scene, he immediately knew that Aunt Liu was unreliable.

"Aunt Luo, since you know nothing, it's great that Aunt Liu is here today. I've summarized your conversation with Aunt Liu. If there's nothing wrong with it, please sign and seal it. If Captain Li and his men from the steel plant solve the case and implicate you, it'd be best if you could remain as calm and composed as you are today."

After saying that, he handed the small notebook in which he had just recorded the conversation to Aunt Luo.

The smile was very sincere, but to Aunt Luo, it looked like a demon.

The east wing of the front yard of No. 18 Courtyard is Aunt Luo’s home.

At this moment, Luo Caixia was staring at the piece of paper handed to her by Zhao Mancang, her whole body trembling, and she was becoming panicked.

Seeing this, Zhao Mancang took advantage of the situation and pursued the opponent step by step. The pressure was like Mount Tai rushing towards Luo Caixia:

"Aunt Luo, you'd better think it over carefully. The value of the property stolen from my house that day exceeded 35 yuan. Whether it's the main culprit or the accomplice, even a peanut is indispensable."

"If you saw something but chose to conceal it and even benefited from it, you will be punished to varying degrees depending on the amount of benefit you gained."

"Even if the punishment you receive isn't severe, I'm afraid your family won't be able to live nearby. You'll never be able to hold your head up in front of your family again."

"Confession will be treated leniently, resistance will be treated harshly. Aunt Luo, I urge you to tell us everything you know. Only then will the police station and the neighborhood committee office consider whether to allow you to make amends."

These words directly shattered Luo Caixia's heart, and she suddenly broke down and burst into tears.

Aunt Liu Juan, who was standing nearby, was dumbfounded.

She also didn't expect that Zhao Mancang, who was just a breeder before, is now not only a breeder but also a doctor, and he is so powerful in interrogating suspects.

Of course, Aunt Liu Juan didn't know how much experience points Zhao Mancang had spent to improve his criminal police interrogation skills.

If not, it would be difficult for Zhao Mancang to break down Luo Caixia's psychological defenses.

Many times, interrogation skills are really important, and this mainly depends on the person.

Luo Caixia is just an ordinary housewife in Beijing.

The entire No. 18 Courtyard, including Zhao Mancang, are actually authentic Beijing locals, and no one is an outsider.

After the founding of New China, the local people of Beijing were the ones who reaped the benefits.

The capital was set in Beijing, a thousand-year-old ancient capital, and the local people of Beijing were very happy.

But they were happy too soon.

Many institutions moved to the capital, and the first to suffer were the capitalists who had previously caused trouble.

The gradual improvement of the public housing system and the establishment of the private housing system have indeed reassured many people.

But now?
The policy of renting instead of selling has been implemented in the city, and many local rich people who own several houses are now panicking.

As for Beijing natives like Aunt Luo, they should continue to behave as they usually do.

Therefore, people like Luo Caixia actually have very poor psychological quality and are not as calm as they appeared just now.

Zhao Mancang only upgraded his criminal police interrogation skills by one level, but Luo Caixia couldn't handle it anymore.

"I tell you, I tell you, it really wasn't me who did it. It was Jin Wenliang, the second son of the Jin family in the backyard."

Zhao Mancang and Liu Juan were both shocked when they heard Luo Caixia's words:
"Isn't Jin Wenliang in prison? Has he been released?"

Jin Wenliang was sent to prison by Zhao Mancang in June. Of course, to be more precise, it was Jin Wenliang who brought his own death upon himself.

If I remember correctly, Jin Wenliang was sentenced to three months.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't come out that way.

"I didn't see it clearly, but it was either Jin Wenliang or his brother Jin Wenjian. It must have been their family's doing."

Luo Caixia quickly added, and Zhao Mancang then asked:

"Since it has nothing to do with you, why did you hide this? And your family should have eaten pork last night, right? Was that pork from my family?"

That’s right, Luo Caixia admitted that the pork was actually dropped by Jin Wenjian when he ran too fast, and she happened to see it.

She chose to conceal it precisely because of this. She couldn't bear to part with the four pounds of pork belly that fell to the ground. It was very fatty and greasy. She couldn't bear to part with it. Pork cost 72 cents per pound, and the monthly ration per person was six ounces. There were seven people in the Luo family, which meant a full four pounds and two ounces of pork per month.

In other words, the few pieces of pork dropped by the thief Jin Wenjian or Jin Wenliang were equivalent to the Luo family's pork ration for one month.

And she didn't have to pay three yuan, two cents and four cents to get more than four pounds of pork. The most important thing was that no one saw this scene, so Luo Caixia naturally chose to conceal it.

As for why I left it until yesterday, it was because I needed to hide it. Otherwise, it would be easily exposed.

This is roughly what happened.

Luo Caixia was afraid of this, so she kept silent.

The reason why she acted so timidly was because Jin Wenjian actually turned back to pick up the pork that day, but there were already people in the front yard chatting while walking towards the middle yard, so Jin Wenjian didn't have enough time and had to run away quickly.

She was worried that once the matter was exposed, Jin Wenjian, who was masked at the time, would betray her, so she chose to remain silent.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Mancang's words at the gate of the compound this evening exposed Luo Caixia's true identity.

Well, now that the truth is out, it will be much easier.

Aunt Liu Juan glared at Luo Caixia angrily and prepared to go out to call for help.

Luo Caixia was so frightened that she quickly grabbed Liu Juan and begged, "Aunt Liu, please don't tell anyone about my affairs. If people find out, how will I live my life in the future?"

Zhao Mancang, who was standing aside, was speechless.

This guy is quite greedy. If he had known this would happen, why did he do it in the first place?

So, how could Liu Juan agree to Luo Caixia?

impossible!
Then she actually knelt down.

While holding Liu Juan, he cried and begged for Zhao Mancang's forgiveness.

Wow, she really came up with a new twist to the trick of crying, making a fuss, and then threatening to commit suicide, because she started to cry so much that her nose started running.

Talent!
But is it useful?
The Luo family members at the door of the east wing couldn't help but push the door open when they heard Luo Caixia crying.

Seeing Luo Caixia kneeling, they were naturally very angry, but if they wanted to use violence against Zhao Mancang, they would definitely bring humiliation upon themselves.

Aunt Liu was not there to do nothing, she was a staff member of the street office. She just glared at them and the Luo family didn't dare to come forward again.

In the small front yard, Grandpa Feng and others all ran out, and even Cao Liyun, Wei Hongzhou and other neighbors in the middle yard came to the front yard to join in the fun.

After all, Aunt Liu Juan came to the Luo family to question Luo Caixia, and she wanted to learn about the theft in Zhao Mancang's house a few days ago.

This is big news, and of course the neighbors want to know what's going on.

The yard was bustling with activity, and Liu Juan personally arranged for Feng Xiaoming, Wei Yuanchao and other young boys to go to the police station to call for help.

The police from the police station came quickly, but this time the police who came was not Fang Wenzhong, whom Zhao Mancang particularly disliked, but Zhang Zunmin and Ma Qingshan.

Two uniformed police officers from the police station appeared in Courtyard No. 18. The neighbors from several nearby courtyards quickly finished their dinner or simply ran to Courtyard No. 18 with their dinner to eat and watch the show.

Even if you are at the very outside of the crowd and can't see what's going on, it's still great to join in the fun and feel the atmosphere.

In the fifties, entertainment was extremely scarce.

There are no televisions. There are not many in the entire capital, let alone in the Huguo Temple.

The same goes for radios. In any case, when it comes to electronic entertainment equipment, even in a place like Beijing, there are very few of them.

Even if there are, they are families of senior officials or capitalists. What relationship do these families have with the ordinary people of Huguo Temple?

It doesn't matter!

So at this time, everyone's entertainment is either to go to bed and hug their wife to do fill-in-the-blank questions, or to play chess with others, or to go somewhere else to find other people to play two-person or multiplayer games.

Anyway, there are not many entertainment options at dinner time.

But it's fun to just sit back and watch the fun.

A few days ago, the home of Dr. Zhao Mancang in Courtyard No. 18 was robbed, and more than 35 yuan worth of property was stolen.

The monthly salary of many people is at this level, yet Zhao Mancang's family had so much stolen.

Many neighbors were gloating over his misfortune, and some even thought it was a good thing to steal, because Zhao Mancang had such a high salary.

Everyone originally thought that since several days had passed, there was a high probability that the theft case would be left unresolved.

Unexpectedly, the case had new developments the day after Zhao Mancang returned.

Police officers Zhang Zunmin and Ma Qingshan stood in front of Luo Caixia and questioned her as per the routine procedure.

The truth behind the theft a few days ago has been revealed.

"Hiss, it was actually the Jin family kid who stole it? How audacious! But isn't Jin Wenliang already in jail? Could he have been released early?"

"Oh my goodness, why did Luo Wentao, the kid from the Luo family, tell me today that his family had eaten meat yesterday? It turns out they 'picked up' pork?"

"How much do Mr. Jin's family hate Zhao Mancang? Knowing that Zhao Mancang is a doctor, they still dared to steal? How audacious!"

"Doctor Zhao is quite amazing. He was able to solve the case even with this. It's amazing!"

The neighbors who were watching were immediately in an uproar and started talking about it. The whole yard suddenly became as noisy as a vegetable market.

The neighbors on the outermost side either stood on tiptoe, eager to know the latest developments, or hurried to listen to what others were saying.

At this time, Liu Juan had already taken two police officers, Zhang Zunmin and Ma Qingshan, to the backyard, and Zhao Mancang and Luo Caixia also followed.

The neighbors did the same, all following behind.

Lin Wan and Lin Huijun, mother and daughter, did not join in the fun, because Zhao Mancang had agreed before he left that he would handle the matter.

The west wing of the backyard is Jin Yuanzhi's home.

At this time, Jin Yuanzhi, Jin Wendong, Jin Wenjian, Xie Pandi and their entire family were there. Instead of eating, they were anxiously discussing countermeasures.

But with the arrival of Liu Juan and others, Jin Wenjian turned pale and wanted to escape.

He stole food and cash worth thirty-five dollars, which was completely different from his second brother who had only stolen five dollars.

Use severe punishments in troubled times!
It is now the eighth year since the founding of the People's Republic of China, but people are still being shot from time to time.

For this era, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a chaotic time.

There are still some places in the country that have not been recovered. For example, the Port of Lushun in Northeast China was not recovered until 1955, but what is the reality?
As for this part, it is actually still very controversial.

why?

One thing that must be mentioned here is nuclear submarines.

In fact, at that time, Khrushchev and other Moscow people wanted to build a nuclear submarine base and long-wave radio station in our country, that is, in the area of ​​​​Port Arthur.

This would have been a great thing, as everyone was investing together, but what Khrushchev and the others wanted was command and control.

And this command and control is actually equivalent to giving this land to Moscow.

Of course not!

Therefore, throughout the year of 1958 and the following years, there was endless debate about this issue.

In addition to the Port of Lushun, there are also places such as Wan Island and Hong Kong Island, and they have not returned.

In fact, there are still many places in the country where bandits are causing chaos.

The phrase "times are in chaos" is not just talk.

"Jin Wenjian, your affair has been exposed"

As Liu Juan, Zhang Zunmin and Ma Qingshan walked in, Jin Wenjian, who was sitting at home, collapsed completely exhausted.

He couldn't even sit still and fell off the bench.

Seeing this scene, there is no need to ask any more questions.

However, Zhang Zunmin and Ma Qingshan still asked questions as a routine matter. After all, the case still needed to go through the procedures.

The neighbors who were watching all stared with wide eyes, especially those standing in the front, who all stood on tiptoe for fear of missing the wonderful scene.

This kind of live broadcast is much more exciting than TV dramas or movies.

It's really interesting.

Zhao Mancang didn't say a word the whole time. Even when Jin Yuanzhi, Xie Pandi, Jin Wendong and others were cursing, he didn't say a word.

Because there was no need for him to speak, Liu Juan, Zhang Zunmin and Ma Qingshan were able to control the situation.

In short, Jin Wenjian is definitely dead this time. After eating a peanut, he will report to the King of Hell.

After hearing what Zhang Zunmin said, Luo Caixia's eyes turned white and she fainted.

She was so scared that she couldn't accept it, so she fainted. She wasn't pretending to faint.

Seeing that the case was almost handled, Zhang Zunmin and Ma Qingshan took the person away first.

Liu Juan and Zhao Mancang naturally left as well and went to the police station together to take their statements.

Luo Caixia had fainted, but was woken up and taken to the police station with the help of her family to be interrogated and punished.

The entire case has basically been concluded at this point.

Neighbors including Wei Hongzhou, Cao Liyun, and Mei Xuesong all witnessed this wonderful scene. After Zhao Mancang, Zhang Zunmin, and others left, they all started discussing it enthusiastically.

This big melon is so delicious to eat.

At this time, Zhao Mancang had already followed everyone to the police station, and then unexpectedly saw Fang Wenzhong who was called back to work overtime.

The latter had a very ugly expression on his face and contributed a lot of experience points to Zhao Mancang, which made the latter a little confused.

Jin Wenjian, who entered the interrogation room, revealed a secret shortly after being interrogated by Zhang Zunmin and others.

In Courtyard No. 18 of Huguo Temple, when Zhao Mancang came back, he didn't expect that there were so many neighbors chatting in the courtyard.

"Doctor Zhao, you're back? How's the case going? Has Jin Wenjian been sentenced? When will it be carried out?"

"Yeah, it seems like no one from the Jin family is left in the backyard. They've all gone out, and I don't know where they went. Will they go and talk to someone about Xiang?"

"Can the stolen property be recovered? Will the Jin family be required to pay compensation? And how much will Aunt Luo's family pay?"

When the neighbors saw Zhao Mancang, they immediately swarmed over and started asking questions.

My goodness, are their mouths like machine guns? They fired bullets with no sign of stopping, making Zhao Mancang feel like a thousand mosquitoes buzzing in his ears.

How annoying!

Zhao Mancang casually said a few words to his neighbors, then went home to eat.

But he was still hungry, unlike his neighbors who had eaten early and were still eating big melons with full stomachs.

At home, Lin Wan and Lin Huijun, mother and daughter, were waiting. They did not go out to chat with the neighbors.

When they saw Zhao Mancang pushing the door open, they both stood up in surprise.

"Why haven't you eaten yet? Didn't I tell you not to wait for me, you guys can eat first?"

"We want to have dinner together after you come back, uncle, please take a seat."

Lin Huijun is very well-behaved and sensible, and is very attentive.

In fact, children should behave like children. It is not necessarily a good thing for the little greedy cat to be so sensible.

Zhao Mancang still prefers the little greedy cat who usually pesters him for malt candy. Now she is so well-behaved and sensible, which means she has grown up.

The three of them sat down and ate and chatted, with Zhao Mancang mainly talking while Lin Wan and the others listened.

In fact, Lin Wan had already heard something from her neighbors, but she was not very clear about the more specific details.

"Aunt Luo was ordered to pay us five yuan in compensation and four kilograms of meat coupons, and was also detained for fifteen days."

"Jin Wenjian definitely wanted to eat peanuts, but he said he didn't steal them on his own initiative. Someone instigated him to do it. The police station is still investigating the matter."

Jin Wenjian confessed that the person who instigated him to steal from Zhao Mancang's house was Du Wenbin, who lived in Xiejia Hutong.

However, Zhao Mancang did not tell Lin Wan about this matter in detail, because he had already thought of Li Dahua when he heard the name Xiejia Hutong.

Li Dahua also lived in Xiejia Hutong before, and later moved to a tube-shaped building near the steel plant.

In this case, it is very likely that Du Wenbin is the same type of person as Li Dahua. They are not the ones who really want to deal with Zhao Mancang, but someone else.

It was the same. Zhao Mancang was also helpless and angry. The person behind this was quite good at manipulating people.

To be honest, if he wasn't afraid that Lin Wan would get hurt, he would have killed her long ago.

However, I must go to Xiejia Hutong tonight to see who Du Wenbin is.

I just don’t know if the police from the police station have already gone to arrest the person in advance.

After dinner, Zhao Mancang was about to go to bed when Jin Yuanzhi and Xie Pandi came back and knelt at the door of the east wing, begging him for forgiveness.

This scene is exactly the same as what happened to Huang Xiuling's mother Huang Miao.

The only difference was that Kim Won-sik and Xie Pan-de actually kowtowed and even bled.

Is it too late to repent at this time?

Zhao Mancang had no expression on his face, and without even opening the door, a cold voice came out through the door and window:

"If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place? It was the court that sentenced your son. If you want to plead for mercy, go to them. It's no use coming to me."

"If you continue to kneel here, it will do nothing but waste time. Oh, there's one more thing: you'll disturb everyone's rest. I'm afraid Aunt Liu from the Street Office will come to visit."

After saying that, Zhao Mancang took Lin Wan and Lin Huijun, mother and daughter, and asked them to go to bed.

Jin Yuanzhi and Xie Pandi knelt for a long time. Seeing that Zhao Mancang was so cold-blooded and ruthless, the latter started cursing.

"Zhao Mancang's monthly salary is 148, so what if I steal a little from you? Are you going to kill my son? I tell you, if my son is really shot, I will not live either. I will die with you."

This is fucking bandit logic!
Xie Pandi is a woman with little knowledge. She doesn't even have an elementary school diploma and is illiterate.

It is said that the emperor loves his eldest son and the people dote on their youngest son.

Jin Wenjian is the youngest son of the Jin family, so he has been very favored since he was a child.

If Jin Wenjian was really fed peanuts, Xie Pandi might really do something.

When the neighbors in the yard, such as Wei Hongzhou, Cao Liyun, Mei Xuesong, etc., heard what Xie Pandi said, they couldn't help but curse.

Mei Chunyan was more direct. She ran out and found Feng Xiaoming and others, and went to the street office or police station to call for help.

After all, considering Xie Pandhi's crazy behavior, it's really scary.

Zhao Mancang in the house was comforting Lin Wan. Fortunately, he had asked Lin Wan to cover the little greedy cat's ears, otherwise if the little guy heard it, she would probably cry.

Even so, Lin Wan was still quite scared.

Zhao Mancang did not respond to Xie Pandi, as he was too lazy to deal with such a person.

The crazier people are, the more likely God will take them away.

People like this won't be able to run rampant for long.

After cursing for a while, Xie Pandi's mouth was dry. She did not wait for Zhao Mancang to open the door or respond, but waited for the police from the police station.

Fang Wenzhong was already furious, and when he saw Xie Pandi, he immediately slapped him:
"You want to die, right? You're threatening others to die together? If you want to die so badly, then go find a river and jump in. You're not sleeping late at night and you're just messing around with me. You guys at Courtyard No. 18 are really powerful."

He was so ferocious that he scared the neighbors.

This doesn't look like the police, but more like vagrants.

In fact, it was because Zhao Mancang did not suffer any loss, but Fang Wenzhong suffered a lot of losses, so he was so unhappy.

Originally, according to past practice, the Jin Wenjian case would have been left unresolved.

In the 1950s, there was no surveillance equipment, no witnesses, and no one knew who had stolen the item.

During the previous investigation and visit, Fang Wenzhong and his team were just doing their routine work and didn't take it too seriously.

Because Zhao Mancang had a high salary, even if his salary worth 35 yuan was stolen, it would not be a big problem.

Xie Pandi was stunned and saw stars in front of his eyes.

Jin Yuanzhi was also confused. He was very angry and furious, especially when he saw his wife bleeding, so he rushed towards Fang Wenzhong.
