Chapter 44 Antique Sales

Jiang Cheng quickly connected the dots in her mind. She quietly pulled Principal Wang away and explained things to him in an inconspicuous corner.

"Principal, the training was your idea. Because of the last human trafficker incident, you felt that night school students should not only have a wealth of knowledge, but also a strong physique."

"Huh? Isn't this a lie?"

Jiang Cheng disagreed and said, "How is that a lie? Are we out for a training session?"

"yes!"

“Were we the first ones to put out the fire?”

"yes!"

Jiang Cheng said as a matter of course: "That's right! You did it, now we just change the way we say it. No matter who asks you, just say this. I guarantee that you can get the title of advanced unit?"

Principal Wang didn't understand the connection between the two, but he subconsciously believed Jiang Cheng's question: "It's useless to be promoted to an advanced unit, right?"

"Now that you have the honor, wouldn't it be much easier for you to ask your boss for some funding?"

Principal Wang's eyes lit up.

yes!

The night school in the neighboring city has more funding every year than theirs, isn’t it just because of this “honor”?

"Jiang Cheng, I'll listen to you."

After getting the assurance from Principal Wang, Jiang Cheng stood aside with an honest look on his face.

Principal Wang: Who is this girl trying to fool? ?

Ten minutes later, Principal Wang watched Jiang Cheng organize the teachers and students to march back to the night school.

"Teacher Hu, please take the trouble to organize it. The new exercises for each subject are on my desk."

"Each class leader should count the number of students and go back to work with the teacher to make study arrangements. Thank you for your hard work."

After Jiang Cheng's few words, the teachers and students were very impressed. They lined up diligently and trotted back to the night school in an orderly manner.

Leader Tang didn't know when he stood next to Principal Wang.

"Aren't you the principal?"

Principal Wang stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a very educational manner: "Knowing people and making good use of them is the way of a leader."

After saying this, Principal Wang nodded meaningfully.

He is so right!

Jiang Cheng is particularly good at using him!

When it comes to pretending like this, just give it to him!

After hearing what Principal Wang said, Leader Tang nodded in agreement, saying it was very well said.

After Jiang Cheng arranged the night school staff, he ran to Principal Wang and said, "Principal, everything has been arranged according to your instructions."

"Well done."

Principal Wang responded in a pretentious manner.

When Leader Tang saw this, his words were further confirmed: it turned out that Principal Wang was the true great educator.

The people from the night school left, and Jiang Cheng and Principal Wang went to the Public Security Bureau to cooperate with the investigation.

The two were questioned and gave almost the same answers, saying that they met by chance while training to improve their physical fitness.

The two men were not suspected of anything, and when Jiang Cheng was about to leave, he was stopped.

Sister Kong wants to see her.

"Meet me?"

Jiang Cheng was really surprised.

While she was thinking about it, three people came into the Public Security Bureau, one of them was an acquaintance.

"Jiang Cheng?"

"Uncle Zhong?"

At this moment, Uncle Zhong regained the fortitude he had when they first met.

When Leader Tang saw Uncle Zhong coming in, he gave him a firm hug between men.

"Zhongzi, why are you here!"

The two grown men, who were also the leaders of both sides, went aside and whispered to each other.

A few minutes later, Uncle Zhong and Leader Tang called Jiang Cheng away together. In the office, Jiang Cheng understood the whole story after listening to Uncle Zhong's words.

"You are tracking an antique smuggling case. The scrap yard is where they hide the goods. The four classifiers at the scrap yard are accomplices. As a result, they were killed when you tried to catch them. Now Sister Kong is the only person who knows about it."

Uncle Zhong nodded, looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "The information you sent us last time allowed us to locate the scrap yard. Tang - the police said that Sister Kong wants to see you. I wonder if you can get her to talk. We want to know the channels through which they transport the goods. There are still people behind them who have not been caught."

Leader Tang looked at Jiang Cheng nervously. After all, the man in front of him had never played by the rules.

"Okay, I'll try."

Jiang Cheng agreed.

A few minutes later, Jiang Cheng sat opposite Sister Kong in the interrogation room.

In just one day, many white hairs grew on Sister Kong's head.

Her eyes were lifeless, and she tried to pull the corners of her mouth when she looked at Jiang Cheng, but she failed in the end.

"I don't understand why you want to see me."

! .

Jiang Cheng went straight to the point. Sister Kong spoke, her voice rough and hoarse from the smoke.

"I don't know either. I just want to talk to someone."

"My son Dongzi was very cute when he was young...his father always loved to drink and would beat me when he was drunk. After Dongzi grew up, whenever his father started beating him, he would protect me with his little body."

Sister Kong fell into her own memories, and Jiang Cheng listened attentively.

"Dongzi was ten years old when we fought. He always asked me why I didn't leave. He said that if we left, he would be happy even if he had to beg for food. But I didn't have the courage."

"I remember that winter, the snow was very heavy. Dongzi's father went out to drink again and didn't come back very late. Dongzi said he went out to look for him, but he didn't find him in the end."

"That night, his father froze to death on the street."

Sister Kong suddenly laughed, and her laugh was sad.

"Do you know what I did? I beat Dongzi, scolded him for being heartless, and blamed him for not looking for him more."

"Isn't it very sad?"

Jiang Cheng shook his head.

"I don't know, because I'm not you. I don't have your experience, I don't have your feelings, I'm not qualified to judge your actions at that time."

Sister Kong was stunned.

This was the first time anyone had looked at her without judging her.

She felt a little relieved and continued, "Then Dongzi changed. He did nothing and even fought. I knew he hated me."

"I said this just to say that Dongzi is not a bad person, he really is not a bad person."

Jiang Cheng remained indifferent and said expressionlessly: "If you want to exchange information for Dongzi's lighter sentence, I think you are wrong."

Sister Kong didn't understand and even felt that Jiang Cheng was lying to her.

"Sister Kong, have you ever thought about what crime you have committed? Why did you do this? Have you ever thought about it seriously?"

"They threatened me with Dongzi, but I just sold a few broken plates and bowls!"

Jiang Cheng tapped the table with his palm and raised his voice, "First of all, that's not a broken plate or bowl!"

"Secondly, they use Dongzi to threaten you because they know that Dongzi is your weak spot. If Dongzi is released, it will be easier for them to find Dongzi."

"On the contrary, as long as Dongzi is in there, he is a government employee and is under the highest level of protection. You don't need to worry about his safety at all."

"Isn't it your greatest hope that Dongzi is alive?"

Sister Kong opened her mouth several times but couldn't think of any words to refute.

Jiang Cheng didn't give Sister Kong time to think.

The chair suddenly moved backwards with a creaking sound, causing Sister Kong to look up and look at Jiang Cheng, who had a serious expression on his face.

"Sister Kong, what you are selling is the heritage of our country's 5,000-year-old culture. It is a treasure preserved by the blood of revolutionary martyrs. It is something that the little country R would try to steal even if it launched an invasion!"

"If Dongzi knew you were working so hard for the little brat, he would definitely look down on you!"
