But after the questioning, you must cooperate with the public security comrades."
"Okay! I...I want to know why...why did you suddenly think of going to the Public Security Bureau last night?
Our plan should have been perfect, but... we just happened to run into you..."
There was unwillingness in Zhao Laoliu's eyes, and the obsession in his eyes was quite terrifying.
Lin Huowang sneered and said to him:
"Do you think I went to the police station out of nowhere, on a whim?"
Zhao Laoliu was immediately shocked:
"What do you mean? Did you...did you know in advance that the two of them were going to run away?"
"Of course! And I also know that you have been lurking in the Public Security Bureau for eight years. It was Zhao Tiechui who used his connections to plant you there.
This is because one day, Scar Liu might be caught and brought to the police station, and you can help him escape.
I think when Zhao Tiechui made this arrangement, he certainly didn't expect that he would be arrested as well."
Lin Huowang smiled and shook his shoulders and said.
Zhao Laoliu's eyes widened and he said in disbelief:
"How could you possibly know? You...you are just an ordinary farmer from the Linjiagou Production Brigade under the Red Star Commune?
Why do you know so much?"
"Reasoning! Is this difficult to deduce?
Moreover, I also pointed out that Scar Liu has been living with you for all these years.
Thanks to your police identity, you were able to evade various investigations."
After Lin Huowang said this, the light in Zhao Laoliu's eyes completely dimmed.
He couldn't help but say admiringly:
"You...you are right, Scar Liu and I have lived in the same yard for these years.
Normally, I would go out and he would stay locked in the house, never interacting with other people.
Only in this way... can he keep hiding and save his life.
If Zhao Tiechui hadn't wanted to kill you this time, perhaps he could have continued hiding.
Maybe, this is fate!
He wanted to kill you but failed, and in the end we all fell into your hands.
"Okay! I... the knot in my heart has been untied, and I have no regrets anymore."
After that, he turned to look at the police officer Xiao Zhang and said, "Xiao Zhang! Please record your statement for me! I have taken good care of you in the police station over the past few years. Please give me a cigarette for the last time!"
“Hey!”
Xiao Zhang sighed, tears even streaming from the corners of his eyes. He questioned him very unwillingly, "Uncle Six, why do you want to get involved with criminals? You are a police officer! A police officer!"
"no way!
I owe them..."
He took the Yingchun brand cigarette handed to him by Xiao Zhang, took a sip, and then slowly began to speak,
“I grew up in Zhaojiatun, and my parents died early.
I grew up with Zhao Tiechui and Scar Liu. If it weren't for them feeding me and protecting me, I would probably have died long ago.
Later, Scar Liu became more and more troublesome. I was a little scared and didn't dare to follow him. Instead, I followed Zhao Tiechui and got a job as a militia captain in the commune.
As expected, Scar Liu got into trouble, killed someone, and was wanted.
Zhao Tiechui was very anxious, so he used his connections in the county to find a house and hid Scar Liu inside.
But later on, the investigation became more and more strict, and it was a special period, so Zhao Tiechui found a connection for me, and I got into the county public security bureau, and moved into this house to keep Scar Liu company.
With my salary, and Zhao Tiechui sending us food and local specialties from time to time, we can get by pretty well..."
Zhao Laoliu slowly explained the whole cause and effect, and Public Security Officer Xiao Zhang was writing it down quickly.
The ward was very quiet, with only the faint voice of Zhao Laoliu and the rustling sound of Xiao Zhang writing.
…
In the other ward, just as Lin Huowang left County Magistrate Xiong, five or six people walked in. They were the second generation people like Xu Xiaodong.
"Uncle Xiong, I heard you were injured, so I came to see you.
These are my friends who came from Beijing with me.”
Xu Xiaodong walked to the bedside with a smile and put down a basket of candies and cakes he had just bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.
The candies in the basket are colorful and the pastries give off a faint sweet fragrance.
"Xiaodong!
I'm so sorry. I received the old leader's telegram a few days ago and knew you were coming today.
But you see, this situation is really unfortunate, and I can’t entertain you.”
When County Magistrate Xiong saw Xu Xiaodong coming with so many people who obviously looked like second-generation lads, he was also surprised.
He could never have imagined that how could his place in the mountains of Baishan County, where the weather was so cold, attract these top second-generation people to come and visit?
"It's okay! Uncle Bear, we didn't mean to disturb you.
This is Zhong Xiaojun, who also lives in our compound in Beijing.
His father is now Captain Zhong of the 345th Regiment.
We'll just wait a while and follow him back to the military base.
It just so happens that we are thinking of going to Changbai Mountain to hunt!"
Xu Xiaodong said with a smile,
"I heard that you were injured, so I came to see you. It should be alright, right?"
"It's nothing, just a small hole in my shoulder. I'll be out of the hospital in a few days."
County Magistrate Xiong laughed heartily, "By the way! Are you coming to Changbai Mountain to hunt? That's perfect! I know a great hunter who is about your age. Would you like me to introduce him to you?
After all, the mountains in winter can eat people.
Even if you have good weapons and equipment, if you don't have an experienced and powerful hunter to lead the way, it's easy to get into trouble."
