Chapter 247 The Wind Rises

Transport team logistics office.

"Xiao Zhao, you should have heard about what happened in the factory, right?"

Zhao Sheng's face changed slightly. "My wife and I just came back from the hospital. I heard a few rumors. Who did the police arrest at the factory?"

Director Xu sighed and sat down to talk with someone. "It's a festive occasion. If the police came to the factory to arrest people, it would have a bad impact if the news got out. There are already a lot of things to do near the end of the year. Isn't this just adding to the chaos?"

"You have a good relationship with him, do you know what happened?"

Zhao Sheng frowned, "I'm not sure. Recently, my wife is pregnant and I've been focusing on her affairs. I haven't paid much attention to He Qi."

Seeing that he also didn't know the inside story, Director Xu sighed again.

Almost everyone in the factory knew that Zhao Sheng had bought a three-wheeled children's car from the provincial capital. It was an expensive and popular item, so no one was willing to spend half a month's salary to buy this car.

But considering that he got married and became a father at this age, it’s not surprising.

He was really unlucky, staying in this position for three years and three years.

I don’t know if I can get a raise before retirement.

Director Xu and Zhao Sheng chatted for a few more minutes before letting the person go back.

Holding the teacup and looking out the window, he felt unfulfilled in his ambitions and spat out a few mouthfuls of tea leaves.

…

By the next day, everyone in the steel plant knew that He Qi had been arrested.

The factory should have sent someone to notify his family on the day of the accident.

However, because this is an offensive job, no one wants to make this trip.

When Zhao Sheng returned to work the next day after his vacation, the transport team handed the task over to him.

The reason is simple: they are partners and friends.

After finishing the morning's cargo transportation work, Zhao Sheng returned to Ze County to have lunch with his wife before going out to the He family.

But unfortunately.

It was He Jia who opened the door.

Seeing that the person outside the door was Zhao Sheng, who had said he would deal with her, she immediately closed the door without giving him a chance to speak.

“…”

Zhao Sheng was turned away and his face darkened. He kicked the door directly. He was not so kind.

An ugly girl, give her face.

"He Qi was arrested by the police station."

He left without saying anything cool.

The message has been delivered. Whether or not to rescue the person is the He family's business.

When He Jia heard the voices outside the door, he couldn't believe it. He opened the door and wanted to find him to ask him, but he only saw a figure walking out of the alley.

Realizing that he had missed something, He Jia hurriedly chased after him, but when he reached the entrance of the alley, the man had already ridden away on his bicycle.

He ran home in a hurry and knocked hard on He's mother's door.

"Mom, wake up quickly, don't sleep anymore, something seems to have happened to my brother."

He's mother was already half asleep, and she woke up instantly, "What? What did you say happened?"

"Just now Zhao Sheng came over and said something unclearly: my brother was taken away by the police. Before I could ask him in detail, he rode away on his bicycle."

He Jia kept some words to herself and didn't dare to say that she deliberately didn't open the door for the person, so she didn't ask the reason.

"Hey, he's leaving, don't you know to ask him a few more questions?

Is your mouth just for show? What should we do with this nonsense?"

He's mother looked anxious and scolded him for a few words. Without delay, she went back to the house, changed her clothes, pushed her bicycle in the yard, and went out to find He's father.

Something happened at home, and He's father and mother didn't have time to go to work in the afternoon. They asked someone for leave and went to the police station.

Unfortunately, no matter how they asked, no one revealed a word.

He only said that the case is under investigation and that specific information will be notified later.

The police resources in Ze County are much more abundant than in the town.

Jinji Town Police Station arrested more than a dozen vagrant criminals at the end of September, and a lot of food rations were consumed during the detention and interrogation.

After they were severely beaten and interrogated, they were tied up and sent to the mining area in the mountains overnight.

They must be made to do the most work to earn back all the food rations.

24 hours a day, 16 hours of work.

The trial has basically come to an end since early October.

However, in order to investigate the major case behind the scenes, the Jinji Town Police Station and the Linglong Town Police Station did an extremely good job in keeping confidentiality.

The two directors also attached great importance to this matter. If they handle this major case well, they will be promoted and have a bright future.

In order to ensure that there were no loopholes, a comprehensive joint capture operation was designed.

It took more than ten days of secret investigation before the net was fully closed.

On the day of October 17, a group of people who had been secretly digging in an abandoned mine at Zhuer Mountain, ten kilometers away from Linglong Town, were caught in one fell swoop.

The arrest was very successful.

Because mining is done at night, all the black miners sleep during the day.

There were a total of twenty-two criminals, including the illegal workers, the supervisor and the cook.

It took two large trucks from the iron ore area to haul away all the people and supplies.

After three days of interrogation, the truth soon came to light.

Although there are many people in this group, none of them are tough and they will answer whatever you ask them.

The results of the survey are so unbelievable that they make people laugh or cry.

Except for the manager, the other twenty-one people are all from Maoer Village.

Maoer Village is located in the mountainous area 20 kilometers behind Zhuer Mountain.

It is a remote area with little arable land, and the place is extremely patriarchal. No one within dozens of miles is willing to marry there, unless they exchange wives or buy a wife from outside.

There are many bachelors in the village, and some of them cannot find wives, and some even have to marry one brother.

In order to solve the problems in the village, the village chief arranged for these people to go to the town to repair ditches, which was actually introducing them to Zhuer Mountain to mine illegal minerals.

With free meals and a salary, you can have enough money to marry a wife after working for a year or two.

No one who came here to mine had anything bad to say.

If the village chief had not repeatedly warned not to bring relatives to dig, he would have called his brothers to come and make a fortune together.

The village chief also knew that he would be in trouble if this matter got out, but the village was so poor that he couldn't even find a wife and couldn't carry on the family line, so how could he care about so many rules?

Anyway, we only work in the mountains at night, so if we are careful, nothing serious will happen.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. They were all arrested and locked up before they had even worked for a month.

Because they are all villagers, they have backward ideas, most of them are illiterate, and there are so many of them.

All of them were interrogated and given some ideological education before being released before dinner time.

In fact, this is also a practical consideration. If they have to take care of the food rations for more than 20 people for a few more days, will their police station survive?

The people downstream are all ignorant mountain people, and they can only grasp the clue of the manager and try to find out the manipulator behind the scenes.

The manager was named Feng Yong. He was a tough guy and refused to explain at first.

However, when it was discovered that he was an employee of the transportation department of Ze County Textile Factory, he revealed everything that happened next.

It just delayed it for two more days.

The mastermind behind the second batch of illegal mining cases was Qian Youwei, director of Ze County Textile Factory.

However, when they contacted Ze County Police Station to arrest him, the man had already learned the news and fled.

The people behind the first batch of small-scale illegal gold mining were He Qi from the steel plant and the fugitive Yang Wanchun.

…

Ze County.

After He Qi was arrested, He's parents tried every possible way to ask people for help and to get information through their connections.

But it's of no use.

Friends and relatives who used to visit him all avoided him.

People who are more particular will at least meet each other, while those who are not will simply not show up.

When people are desperate, they will not care about face or cost.

He's father and mother waited until nightfall to go out and visit the home of a person they had not visited or had any contact with for a long time.

Fortunately, there is always a way out.

With this person's guarantee, He Qi was temporarily released.

The He family's gloom and sadness were thus dissipated a lot.

However, when they thought about the promise they had made, the couple felt a little regretful and didn't know how to tell their son about it for a moment.

I can only keep it secret for now.

He Qi was released, and Zhao Sheng soon received the news.

I can't say whether I'm in a good or bad mood.

Not to mention surprise and unexpectedness.

After smoking a cigarette in the dark alley and taking a few breaths, he returned to the family compound under the moonlight.

Afraid that Lin Yiyi would smell the cigarette smoke on him, Zhao Sheng went to the sink to take a quick shower.

But as soon as I got into bed, the person I thought was asleep spoke.

"The weather is getting colder, so don't take cold showers all the time."

Zhao Sheng felt warm in his heart and whispered, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of the cold, go to sleep."

Lin Yiyi was speechless and said angrily, "...Take your hand off my waist before you say that."

As expected, the man's hand moved away and started rubbing somewhere else.

Lin Yiyi was about to pull his ears when the man's deep voice sounded again.

"Will you always stay with me like this?" No matter what kind of person he is.
