The golden age began in 1977

Chapter 49 Old Driver Wait for Me
Qian Jin stayed at Liu Wangcai's house for another night, and the pain in his body was slightly relieved.

I still have to go to work during the day.

He set out on his bike before daybreak.

Liu Wangcai prepared some things for him, including fresh fruits, vegetables, and various seafood caught from the sea.

The basket was full, the handlebars were full, and there was even a small basket enclosed in the back seat.

Qian Jin thanked her repeatedly but then tried to stop her: "Alright, alright, Auntie, we have enough food, why are there so many seafood?"

The old lady smiled and said, "When you go back and invite your colleagues to dinner, you must prepare a few more dishes."

"I went to my neighbor's house last night and got you some more food. I'm sure you'll have enough to eat!"

Then she whispered, "I exchanged it with the plastic bag you gave me. That thing is rare for women like me!"

Qian Jin said, "Next time I'll bring you a dozen large ones!"

The little old lady's face was full of wrinkles because of her smile.

Liu Wangcai smoked a cigarette and warned him: "Be careful on the road. If it were me, I'd find a militiaman to accompany you."

"The roads in my country at night are not like those in your city. There are robbers everywhere from time to time."

Qian Jin sneered: "It's okay, the security isn't that bad."

Seeing that he was persistent, Liu Wangcai stopped trying to persuade him and just handed him the five brightest battery flashlights in the team for lighting.

Qian Jin was useless after he got on the road. The flashlight was bulky and not bright enough.

He went to the mall and bought a high-powered flashlight.

Fortunately, there were no pedestrians on the road.

Otherwise, from the opposite direction, it would be more dazzling than a car turning on its headlights at night.

It's dark in the early morning and visibility is poor.

He did not take a shortcut as he usually did, but instead turned the flashlight to the lowest brightness and walked along the main road by the sea.

The moon is half-moon, hanging obliquely in the night sky.

The surging bay looked like an overturned inkstone under the cover of night, with broken shells stuck in the cracks of the ochre-brown rocks.

The floating mast lights in the distance were from motorboats used for night fishing. The salty sea breeze seeped into the collar of his rayon shirt, making him even more awake.

There are too many seafood hanging on the handlebars, making it difficult to ride a bike.

Qian Jin thought for a while and took out the golden box. He wanted to try if he could put the seafood in it.

Turns out there was no problem at all.

The mall directly defines it as a product being put on the shelves.

He actually paid 14 yuan for the big conch he picked up!

Qian Jin was happy.

This is another way to make money!
In 77, there were many seafood and mountain products that would be extremely valuable in the future.

In high spirits, he sang as he pedaled his bicycle at top speed: "Old driver, wait for me, I want to conquer Chuncheng. Old driver, wait for me, I'm really eighteen..."

He rode along the main road, leaving the seaside and passing through the fields, and then into a dirt road in the forest.

The tall poplar trees blocked out the sun, and the inside was full of shadows, making visibility extremely poor.

So Qian Jin rode in two or three hundred meters before he found a Dongfeng truck with a pointed nose parked in front of him.

How could a truck be parked on the side of the road at this time and place?

An alarm bell immediately sounded in his heart:
Could Liu Wangcai be a jinx? Did he really run into trouble on the road?
The gentleman does not stand under the wall.

run!
Then two dark figures jumped out from the front of the truck and said, "Stop! Don't go back!"

"Don't move, we are security guards!"

It would be strange if Qian Jinxin trusted them.

He stood up and kicked!
Suddenly there was a loud 'bang'!

A red light like fireworks burst out in the darkness!

Someone shot!

Someone yelled, "Fuck your mother! Who ordered the shooting?"

"Brother, he'll run away!" Someone else shouted, "Don't run, or I'll shoot you!"

Qian Jin didn't dare to move when the gunshot rang out.

But he was not very panicked. He took off his flashlight and raised his arms, surrendering more completely than a Gallic rooster.

The robber approached and laughed: "You are smart enough to hold your hands up, otherwise I would have beaten you to death!"

It's now.

Qian Jin pointed the flashlight at the two of them and turned it to the highest power!
The sun rises again!
Two tall and thin young men were exposed to the strong and scorching light.

Then he screamed in panic: "I can't see?"

"Brother, I can't see either!"

The young man holding a homemade gun fired indiscriminately in panic.

It turned out that the gun was loaded with shotgun-like bullets, which had a wide killing area. The gunpowder sprayed out and affected another young man, knocking him down directly!

Qian Jin broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

Robbers these days are so brutal!
At this time, there were shouts from the truck ahead: "Help, help, comrades, help!"

Qian Jin guessed that this might be the driver's voice.

He hesitated for a moment, then carefully moved to the side of the truck and asked, "How many robbers are there?"

"Two! Two brothers!" the man said hurriedly, "I'm from the city's Fifth Transport Team! My name is Qiao Jinbu, Qiao Jinbu, help me, comrade!"

Qian Jin looked in the direction of the sound and saw the man tied to the front of the car.

The man was tied up on the ground with his hands behind his back against the front of the car, his eyes blindfolded. He was as excited as a bean worm in a frying pan.

Qian Jin felt relieved and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm from the Public Security Bureau. Wait a minute, I'll go deal with the two criminals and then I'll rescue you."

Both robbers were now blinded, and one was shot and fell to the ground.

But the robber with a gun still held the gun.

He opened his eyes wide in vain and looked around in fear.

Qian Jin took out the dagger Huang Laotie gave him and threw it at the robber.

The robber was startled after being hit, he yelled and pulled the trigger - no sound, no bullet!
Qian Jin immediately understood.

This gun was modified from a double-shot shotgun, and both bullets were used up!
Things are easier.

He was about to rush out, but then he thought about it and went to the mall to buy a pepper spray: the water-soluble pepper type. After figuring out how to deal with the aftermath, he also bought two ounces of ghost peppers.

Well prepared, he took off his shoes and approached the armed robber barefoot, aiming the sprayer at his eyes and spraying him.

The robber's eyes widened subconsciously because he was blind.

Then all the chili essence went into my eyes.

So he threw away the gun and rolled over with his head in his hands, screaming miserably!

Qian Jin went to strengthen the young man who was shot.

When he approached, the young man lying on the ground wailing weakly suddenly jumped up and punched him.

What an acting talent!
Qian Jin was shocked and subconsciously raised the spray and sprayed wildly.

Then he was beaten back and the young man fell to the ground, covering his face and screaming.

Qian Jin was so angry after being pecked by the duck that was right in his mouth that he went up to the two young men and punched and kicked them.

After venting his anger, he went to the truck and found the driver to untie the rope.

Qiao Jinbu knelt down with a thud: "Comrade, please don't kill me. The things in the car are public property. If you take them, I will definitely not call the police..."

"I'm not a criminal, I'm a security guard!" Qian Jin took off the blindfold for Qiao Jinbu to show him the red armband of the security commando team.

After seeing this, the other party collapsed to the ground and burst into tears:
"My leader! You've arrived at the perfect time!"

"My savior, I almost died..."

Qian Jin comforted him: "It's okay, I've caught the robbers. Don't cry anymore, come with me to tie them up and take them to the police station!"

With a truck, everything is convenient.

The two robbers were tied up and thrown into the truck bed along with the bicycle.

The truck bed was crammed with a lot of cargo.

Qiao Jinbu trembled as he showed him a piece of paper. "I'm delivering labor protection cotton yarn to the Sixth National Cotton Mill. These two bastards set up a checkpoint here. I'm going to drive..."

"drive!"

"Yes, drive, I, I, I..."

Qian Jin was speechless: "Brother, you are a driver who travels at night, are you really so timid?"

Qiao Jinbu burst into tears: "My benefactor, you don't know that before you came, these two bastards were planning to bury me alive!"

"I'll never drive a night train by myself again, and I won't drive to the countryside anymore. I'll drive to the port terminal line, where there are a lot of people..."

Qian Jin looked at the note handed to him by Qiao Jinbu, which was a transfer order with the official seal of "Haigeyun".

Qiao Jinbu often traveled to this area and was very familiar with the road conditions, so he found the commune security office without asking.

There was only a young man on duty in the security station, sleeping on the table, with a slogan behind him that read "National security depends half on public security."

When he learned that the robber had been caught, he leaned against the wall in surprise, and white dust fell from around the slogan.

He quickly called the director's home, and it was already dawn.

The director of the Red Star Commune is Gao Ming, a nice middle-aged man.

When he arrived, he first took out an enamel pot to make tea and gave it to Qian Jin: "Comrade, it's cold in the autumn mornings, warm your hands."

The low-quality tea stems swirled at the bottom of the jar. He explained, "That's just the way it is in the countryside."

They are both directors, but Gao Ming's qualifications are indeed much worse than Huang Yongtao's.

His police uniform was very old, and the patch on his right elbow had been torn, revealing the fleece jacket underneath - this was the reward he received in the winter of 70 for jumping into an ice hole to rescue a drowned ox.

While drinking hot tea, Qian Jin began to explain the situation.

The plot to catch the robbers has already been written:

When he spotted two robbers robbing a truck, he pretended to be scared to lure the two robbers closer to him.

After getting closer, he first used a large flashlight to blind the robbers, then smeared very strong red pepper on his hands and fought with the two robbers.

In the darkness, the strong light from the flashlight and the red pepper juice seeped into the eyes of the two robbers, causing them to be temporarily blinded.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he successfully knocked down the two men after being hit by a heavy punch and rescued the driver Qiao Jinbu.

Gao Ming looked into the eyes of the two robbers.

Their eyes were closed tightly, and their eyelids and the area around them were incredibly red and swollen.

This made Gao Ming very curious: "What kind of pepper is so strong? Let me try it."

Qian Jin was speechless.

Is this the point?
He found that perhaps due to the turbulent years, the quality of leading cadres in various units was very low.

Gao Ming took a spicy devil and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Qian Jin applauded his courage.

Gao Ming soon paid the price for his not-so-wise choice.

His eyes were watering, his nose was bubbling, and saliva was running everywhere in his mouth: "Ahhhh water water water!"

The young security guard found some vinegar and stuffed it into his mouth: "The sourness helps to alleviate the spiciness!"

He was convinced by this and said in a hoarse voice: "Comrade, you are really smart!"

"I'll notify your unit right away and recommend you for a reward—Xiao Liao, quickly go to the supply and marketing cooperative and get me another bottle of vinegar!"

Later, Gao Ming interrogated the two robbers separately.

No need for major memory recovery techniques.

He lied a few times and promised to clear their eyes as long as they explained the situation. The younger brother of the two could not bear the pressure and told them everything about his crime.

This experience frightened Qiao Jinbu so much that his face turned pale:

The two robbers were vagrant criminals who had been roaming around in many places in the province since last year, specializing in robbing cars and stealing money and goods.

All the drivers who were robbed suffered the same fate.

Buried alive!

This is a major case!

Gao Ming quickly called the county government: "Wow, who am I? I'm Gao Ming!"

"Tell the director to come here quickly. A comrade named Qian Jin has arrested two serious criminals and sent them to me!"

After hanging up the phone, he gave his men another order: "Hurry up and write a letter of praise for their neighborhood committee. Use a steel plate, like the kind engraved on wax paper. We must show our respect!"

Suddenly, Qian Jin felt that Gao Ming was pretty good.
