"I suspect my husband isn't human at all."
In 1983, by the old槐樹 (Chinese Scholar Tree) at the village entrance, Jiang Hongguo finished saying this to the visiting police uncl...
Chapter 84 Chapter 84 Our family of three is really amazing, worthy of...
When the car arrived at a house near Xiaojia Coal Mine, Gu Changzong slowed down.
From a distance, Hongguo saw two of Xiao Wumei's cousins standing at the door. When they saw her car coming, their eyes were filled with anger.
Seeing the car speed getting slower and slower, Hongguo was afraid that the other party would rush over and fight fiercely. If both sides went to the police station, it would delay things. She advised: "Changzong, why don't we forget it today and come back next time."
Due to some specific reasons, the car had to be driven to this distance, and the situation later was difficult to describe, so Gu Changzong drove the car here and spoke about it just as he was about to start.
"Guoguo, wait a moment. I'll show you something new."
Then, he freed one hand and rubbed the little thing in Jiang Hongguo's arms: "Diandian, spit out your fish."
The little one patted his belly and corrected: "Dad, you are wrong, Yuyu is not in my belly, it is in my brain."
Gu Changzong smiled and urged him to hurry up: "Then squeeze it out of your little head."
The little guy knocked his head, and then a colorful and translucent fish as big as him appeared in front of him.
In such a short time, the fish has grown a lot. Hong Guoguai was curious and asked, "How big can this fish grow?"
Gu Changzong seemed to have grasped the pattern: "It depends on the situation. The more it eats, the bigger it grows."
He bit his finger, and a few drops of blood were absorbed by the translucent fish, which then grew to the size of a car.
The little one didn't even blink, clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Dad, you are so awesome!"
It was amazing, the fish was as amazing as Changzong. The moment the fish enlarged, Hongguo noticed something strange. Everything around her seemed to slow down ten thousand times. It was magical, but they were not affected.
In this slowed-down scene, Gu Changzong got out of the car at a normal speed, walked around to the passenger side, picked up Hongguo and Diandian, and talked to them briefly.
"This golden dragon has the ability to slow down time since it was a sub-adult. It can probably last about eight minutes now."
Hong Guo didn't understand how he could accurately estimate the duration of eight minutes. If a sub-adult had this ability, what about an adult? This golden dragon was really an unusual thing, so precious. Ge Zizai over there just gave it to a little kid.
Hong Guo asked as they walked: "Besides us, can anyone else notice anything unusual?"
Gu Changzong knew that she was a little worried. In the world of ordinary people, being discovered to be a god was not a good thing.
He comforted her, "Ordinary people can't find it. According to the current technology of this era, scientific research equipment can detect abnormal data fluctuations in space, but there is no such research institute in Yancheng. Even if there is a research institute with equipment near it, they can't find the reason for the data fluctuation occasionally, so it's no problem to hide these little secrets for decades."
Hong Guo felt relieved and walked around Xiao Wumei's two cousins who were almost motionless and entered the room which was also still.
Xiao Wumei has been discharged from the hospital. She had several bandages on her body, including on her neck. It seemed that she was bitten badly.
Hongguo didn't sympathize with her at all. If Changzong wasn't so powerful, all those wolfhounds would have bitten Changzong.
She let her dog bite someone, but ended up being bitten by her own dog. It's karma, retribution.
In an almost still state, the ferocious look on Xiao Wumei's face was clearly visible. Xiao Dajie's face was full of resentment, her mouth opened and closed, and she must be cursing. □□ Lian frowned tightly, as if she was trying to stop a fight.
From the expressions of the three of them, Hongguo guessed what had happened just now. It should be that Big Sister Xiao was scolding Little Fifth Sister, and she had acted on her own and got into trouble again.
Hong Guo did not dare to delay and first touched the pearl necklace on Sister Xiao's neck and saw the scene. This was a gift from her remarried husband after she remarried. It recorded the years after her remarriage. She used the money earned from the mine to corrupt valuable students who had graduated many years ago.
The ring on her hand was also put on after marriage. Because she had been wearing it all the time, more information could be seen on it than on the necklace. There were her various plans and arrangements, and even that she asked her former second sister to seduce her husband and trick him into the mine to create an accident. So when the former second sister died, there was one less person who knew the secret of her murdering her husband. Sister Xiao was relieved instead. Not only did she not pursue the matter, she also helped Du Huixiang's brother-in-law to testify, saying that it was a pure accident.
Hongguo noticed the watch on Sister Xiao's wrist. It didn't look expensive. Why didn't she change it to a better one after she became rich? Maybe it had a special meaning.
She touched it and saw more. This was the wedding watch she bought when she married her first husband. She never took it off except when taking a bath and sleeping.
The watch shows much more and older things. Sister Xiao was originally just an ordinary high school teacher. After she met her husband, they got married and had children.
Later, she found out that her husband was a spy, which aroused the deep evil in her heart. Instead of reporting him, she let her husband take the children and escape back to be the person in charge of the contact, and then used the information she stole to exchange for a good life for her husband and children.
After her husband and children brought the first letter of safety, Sister Xiao began to make long-term plans. After twenty years of planning, the spy network she was responsible for had become deeply rooted. Without Hong Guo's ability, it would be very difficult to eradicate it completely.
Hong Guo was afraid that she couldn't remember all the names, so she would tell the name and identity of each one she touched, allowing Gu Changzong to use his super memory to remember it.
The little one listened very attentively and couldn't wait to show off: "Mom, I can remember it too."
Gu Changzong rubbed his head and whispered, "I know you are good at it, don't disturb your mother's work."
Hongguo really didn't have the energy to talk to Xiaobudian. With Changzong's comfort, she focused on looking. Eight minutes was not a long time. After touching all the jewelry she could, she hurried back to the car. Gu Changzong asked Xiaobudian to put the fish away.
As soon as the fish was collected, the flow of time in this small area returned to normal, and Gu Changzong's car drove out at a normal speed.
Hongguo paid special attention to the expressions of Xiao Wumei's two cousins. They were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and then turned and went into the house.
Hong Guo's back was covered in cold sweat after the thrilling experience just now. He took a long breath and then smiled happily, "Our family of three is really amazing. We work together perfectly."
Little Bu nodded his head like pounding garlic: "Great, Yuyu is as good as me."
Gu Changzong relaxed and stepped on the accelerator: "Let's go to the park as a family of three."
…
On the other side, after the two cousins entered the house, Sister Xiao asked what happened outside: "I seemed to hear the sound of a truck. Whose coal truck wants to borrow our road?"
The two cousins had a preconceived idea and were very sure: "Gu Changzong's car passed by the door just now. He must have come to see Fifth Sister and make fun of her."
□□ Ping didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she thought positively: "Maybe he was just passing by. He just came back. There is a big park in front of him. He must be taking his family to visit the park."
Xiao Wumei didn't care about that. She was bitten by so many vicious dogs and didn't know if the rabies vaccine would work. She had suffered such a big loss, she must take revenge.
Xiao Wumei risked everything: "Big sister, none of you can stop me this time. Even if we die together, I will make Gu Changzong and Jiang Hongguo suffer."
Sister Xiao knew she couldn't persuade her, so she had only one request: "Don't bring trouble to your brothers and us, I won't care about anything else."
…
On the Hongguo side, Gu Changzong drove the car all the way to the park, played in the park for the whole morning, had lunch outside at noon, and then returned home to start sorting out the roster.
Among these people, there are those who have been completely corrupted, those who are wavering, and those who know nothing but are targeted by Sister Xiao and are ready to be conquered. There are more than a dozen of them in total.
After sorting it out, Hong Guo said, "I told Secretary Zhuang before that it would take a month. It was only the second day after you came back, and we had already figured out the intelligence. If I hand it in now, I'm afraid I'll get into trouble. Should we wait until the one-month deadline to hand it in?"
Gu Changzong agreed: "I will go out in a few days. I will take the opportunity of delivering coal and say that I am going to investigate. It is a good opportunity to ask Secretary Zhuang to help us find a few more business units across the country."
Hong Guo nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, we can't work in vain."
The two of them couldn't help laughing when they thought of this little plan. They felt a little embarrassed when they thought about it, but compared to the huge contribution of intelligence, asking for a little bit of sweetness was not too much.
After sorting out the intelligence information, Hong Guo talked about other things she saw: "Oh, by the way, I happened to see the situation at Xiao Wumei's home. Sister Xiao wanted to use Xiao Wumei and her cousins, so she instigated her neighbors to fight with her uncles for the homestead. The fight between the two sides resulted in deaths. One of Xiao Wumei's uncles was sentenced to death, and the other was sentenced to life imprisonment. Xiao Wumei was raised by her uncles. Can we use her for this?"
"It can be used, but we need to find actual evidence." Gu Changzong asked, "Is there anyone who knows about it now?"
Hong Guo said, "The neighbor's only son ran away. If we can find him, his confession will be convincing. But Xiao Wumei was bitten by a dog and became so miserable that she hates us to death. She will definitely not believe the person we found."
Gu Changzong smiled and said, "If she doesn't believe it, the one in prison will do. In this way, I will be responsible for finding the person. At the same time, I will ask Shi Jinzhou to help me investigate Sister Xiao's husband and children through his connections in Hong Kong. With several pieces of evidence in hand, the one in prison will naturally believe it."
Hongguo and Changzong talked about these sinister things in people's hearts and no longer avoided Xiaobutian.
She sighed softly and pinched the little one's soft face: "We talked about so many secrets today, and Diandian's fish can slow down time. If any of these things are leaked out, it will be a big deal. Can Diandian keep it a secret?"
In order to reassure Hong Guo, Gu Changzong asked Xiao Bitian, "Will you tell anyone?"
Diandian hurriedly shook her head and patted her chest to assure him, "Don't worry, Mom. I won't even tell anyone about my sleep."
Now they have to wait for Shi Jinzhou's connections to investigate the matter. Gu Changzong also has to go fishing to catch the fish he needs and serve as a witness to convince Xiao Wumei's family.
While waiting, Gu Changzong went out to deliver some coal. When he came back, the registered letter from Shi Jinzhou arrived.
The private detective that Shi Jinzhou hired took photos of Sister Xiao's husband and children and investigated their current situation. Over the years, they had information about Sister Xiao's past that they had betrayed, and they were doing very well there. They were even planning to use the money that Sister Xiao earned from the coal mine to develop more spy networks.
Hong Guo was filled with hatred when she heard this and cursed, "He has such a vicious mind. I don't want to wait any longer. I'm going to tell Director Zhuang now and have him arrested immediately."
Gu Changzong just happened to have caught the necessary witnesses, so he could go find Director Zhuang. He knew Hongguo was angry and wanted to vent a few words, so he said, "Guoguo, these few days won't matter. We still have to do the show. I'll go find Director Zhuang first."
…
Gu Changzong took the photos and a small part of the progress report and went to see Director Zhuang.
After handing the things over to him, Gu Changzong gave the reasons he had prepared, which seemed to be able to withstand scrutiny.
"I happen to have a friend in Hong Kong. They are more convenient to work with. They helped me find out about Sister Xiao's overseas husband who is responsible for receiving intelligence and her two children. Their current status abroad is all in the report."
Director Zhuang was greatly shocked by the intelligence obtained from abroad.
At that time, Xiao Xiao and her husband had a fierce argument, and there were witnesses from neighbors and the street. Afterwards, her husband took their two children and all the money in the house and disappeared without a trace. Sister Xiao called the police and there is a record of it.
It turned out that she was preparing for treason at that time, and let her husband and children flee. She continued to hide her identity, planning for so many years, and set up a secret spy network. Xiao Xiao's thoughts are terrifying when you think about them carefully.
As early as when Director Zhuang first took office, he re-investigated the whereabouts of Sister Xiao's husband and daughter. No one expected that they had escaped 20 years ago.
It's incredible that Jiang Hongguo and Gu Changzong could accurately locate the specific location and occupation just by checking, and then make targeted inquiries and bring back so much information.
He had promised Jiang Hongguo that he would not ask her how she found out, and since she was someone his old friend Wei Liangzheng trusted, he would not ask.
With such a big breakthrough in clues, Director Zhuang was in a good mood and asked with a cheerful face, "What are your plans next?"
Gu Changzong said calmly, "Follow the plan. I will listen to Hong Guo. She said within a month, so we will definitely be able to give you a complete list of intelligence within the stipulated time. But now there is a thorny matter. Xiao Wumei was bitten by a dog. I am afraid that she will have rabies and bite Hong Guo. I want to bring someone to see her uncle who is imprisoned in prison."
"Who are you going to bring with you?" Director Zhuang asked.
"Before, Xiao Wumei's uncle and aunt had a fight with their neighbors over the homestead. The neighbor couple died, and I found their only son."
Director Zhuang was very surprised: "You can even find him?"
Gu Changzong smiled and said, "Lucky! I said I wanted to kill Xiao Wumei and her cousins, and sure enough, the neighbor's only son showed up. I guessed right, there are spies in the mine. Maybe he wanted to see with his own eyes how Xiao Wumei and her family died, so he came back secretly, and I caught him in the trap. I'm going to take him to talk to Xiao Wumei's uncle."
Director Zhuang agreed: "Okay, you go back first, someone will contact you and take you there."
…
There was only one week left until the one-month deadline. During this period, Gu Changzong took people to meet Xiao Wumei's uncle in prison, and then his uncle was transferred to another prison.
Xiao Wumei and her cousins were allowed to visit their uncle before he was transferred to another prison. After they visited his uncle, they came back and spread the word that they would fight Gu Changzong and Jiang Hongguo to the end.
After hearing these vicious rumors, Hongguo comforted herself that Xiao Wumei was just pretending to paralyze Xiao Dajie.
Now that the information is in hand, and there are still three days before the agreed time, Hong Guo can't wait any longer and takes the list to Director Zhuang.
The list was divided into detailed categories, including what each person is doing now, their family situation, who can still be saved, and who is hopeless. Everything was marked and categorized, and the detail exceeded Director Zhuang's expectations.
Such comprehensive and detailed intelligence information would shock anyone and make them even doubt the authenticity of the list.
Hongguo saw Director Zhuang's hesitation. She understood that anyone who saw this list, except Director Wei, would probably be suspicious, right?
But it doesn’t matter, they can check it out.
Hong Guo was very confident: "Don't worry, we will check for omissions and fill in the gaps. So far, there is nothing missing from the list. You can check the people on the list carefully. We will not wrongly accuse any good person, nor let any bad person go."
Director Zhuang was shocked. Such a capable couple was probably related to the confidential matter that Lao Wei was handling. This time they were relying on the help of their old friend.
He sincerely admired: "Jiang Hongguo, you guys are amazing."
Hong Guo was very modest and pushed all the credit to Gu Changzong: "It's the friends that Changzong knows who are amazing."
Helping Director Zhuang with something had brought her a lot of benefits. Most of Xiao Wumei's hatred was transferred to Xiao Dajie, and the coal business was increased by several people. She felt very happy just thinking about it.
After the matter was handed over, she felt much more relaxed and took the initiative to ask, "Director Zhuang, there is nothing for me to do here. Can you bring a confidentiality agreement and I will sign it before leaving?"
Director Zhuang looked at Jiang Hongguo carefully. She was the one holding the biggest secret now. If she signed a confidentiality agreement, she would feel that she had completed her mission completely. So, she should sign one to make herself feel at ease.
Once the confidentiality agreement was signed, Director Zhuang's instructions were completely fulfilled.
Hongguo felt no pressure and was in a good mood when she came out.
The coal mined from the mine has been transported out three times, but there is still no sign of Sister Xiao closing in.
Hong Guo thought that Secretary Zhuang and the others were very careful in checking, so this was the normal speed. Without her ability to see things clearly at a glance by touching them, it would indeed take a lot of time and energy to carefully identify and check, and she couldn't be careless. So she would just have to be patient and wait.
It was not known who was alarmed during the verification, and perhaps they informed Sister Xiao. Hongguo suddenly heard that Sister Xiao wanted to sell her family's coal mine, and the first buyer she found was Hongguo, and she wanted to invite her over for a talk.
Hongguo was caught off guard by this news. Was he trying to run away by selling the mine? This matter was too important and must be clarified.
Hong Guo thought about it and decided to go over there and find a chance to touch the jewelry on Sister Xiao to see where the news leaked from and alerted the enemy.
