Who is it?
"We are from the military region's investigation team. Comrade Lu Fangfang, could you please open the door? We need to investigate some matters!"
In the courtyard, Lu Fangfang took a tattered burlap sack and quickly covered the bamboo cage on the south side.
She took a deep breath, walked to the courtyard gate, and opened it.
"Squeak."
Outside the gate of the compound stood two men in military uniforms, wearing Chairman Mao badges on their chests, their faces serious.
Behind them were Xiao Aiguo and Gao Dajiang, both with stern faces, clearly in a bad mood.
Lu Fangfang swallowed hard and asked curiously, "An investigation team? What investigation team? What are you investigating?"
"Fangfang, this is an investigation team from the Political Department of the Military Region. Just cooperate with them, it'll be fine."
As soon as Xiao Aiguo said this, the two members of the investigation team frowned. One of them turned around and said, "Comrade Xiao Aiguo, from now on, I will not ask you any questions. Please do not speak on your own."
Upon hearing this, Gao Dajiang immediately lost his temper, and Xiao Aiguo quickly pulled him back.
"Hmph! Old Xiao, you stay here and watch over things. I'm going to check out other places."
After saying that, Gao Dajiang stormed off.
The two members of the investigation team did not care about Gao Dajiang's attitude.
One of the comrades said, "Comrade Lu Fangfang, may we go in and take a look?"
Lu Fangfang was uneasy, but could only nod.
The two comrades entered the courtyard and looked around for something. They even lifted the tattered burlap sack covering the bamboo cage.
Looking at the quails inside, the tall comrade from the investigation team counted them and then wrote them down in his notebook.
After looking around the yard, they went straight into the house without asking any questions.
Lu Fangfang could only silently follow behind the two of them.
After a while, the two members of the investigation team looked through the entire house, inside and out.
Finding nothing else, the two looked at Lu Fangfang and asked, "Comrade Lu, where did you come from?"
"We come from all corners of the country, united by a common revolutionary goal..."
Lu Fangfang was a little nervous. She first recited a quote before finally saying:
"I am from Linshui Special District. My class status is poor peasant. My family is clean. My grandfather even participated in the guerrillas. I came here to marry my fiancé, Comrade Zhuang Mingcheng."
"Comrade Lu Fangfang, you have a very high level of awareness, which is very good."
The tall comrade was very pleased. Holding his pen, he continued, "I heard that when you came, you were in the same car as Zhu Haiming, the daughter of a capitalist?"
"Yes, but we're not familiar with each other."
"Zhu Haiming is a bad element. We came down here mainly because we received reports from the public. Comrade Lu Fangfang, did you find any counter-revolutionary behavior of her in the family compound?"
Lu Fangfang quickly shook her head, "We're not familiar, comrade. I've never been alone with her since I came to the family compound."
"Not familiar with each other?"
The investigator frowned. He asked a few more questions, but Lu Fangfang brushed them off by saying she wasn't familiar with the area.
The two investigators were somewhat displeased.
The shorter man spoke up: "Comrade Lu Fangfang, you may not be familiar with others, but you should be familiar with Comrade Zhuang Mingcheng, right?"
“I see you haven’t registered your marriage yet, but you’ve already moved into the family compound. That doesn’t seem to be in accordance with regulations.”
Lu Fangfang's heart tightened, and she hurriedly explained, "Comrade, we should have gotten married a long time ago, but when we were preparing for the wedding, the regiment suddenly came with an emergency mission, and my fiancé had to go to participate in the mission first."
"What mission?" the investigation team member pressed.
"I don't know, you should ask the troupe."
Lu Fangfang looked outside, where Xiao Aiguo was standing in the courtyard.
The door was open, and Xiao Aiguo could hear the conversation inside.
Seeing the investigation team waving at him, he walked in, feeling aggrieved. "Comrade Liu, Battalion Commander Zhuang is participating in a top-secret mission."
"What top-secret mission?"
Xiao Aiguo repeated, "Comrade Liu, top secret mission!"
"We're from the Political Department of the Military Region, don't we have the right to know?"
"Comrade Liu, this is a top-secret mission assigned by the Central Committee!"
The two members of the investigation team exchanged a glance before stopping their questioning.
The tall member of the investigation team turned a page in his notebook, looked at Lu Fangfang, and asked, "I heard you keep a snow leopard?"
Lu Fangfang looked rather unhappy.
The members of the investigation team even knew about their own pet snow leopards; I wonder which gossip spread the word.
"Comrade, I found a snow leopard a few days ago, but I don't know where it went these past few days. This thing is hard to tame."
The two members of the investigation team asked a few more questions.
Finding nothing wrong, they then took the notebook and had Lu Fangfang sign it.
"Comrade Lu Fangfang, you don't need to go out today. Cooperate with our investigation team at any time to find the bad elements among you."
After saying that, the two turned and walked out.
"Fangfang, if there's nothing else, stay home and don't go out."
Xiao Aiguo said something and followed the investigation team.
Once outside, the two investigation teams went directly to Xiao Aiguo's home.
As the two questioned Wang Shufen, Xiao Aiguo's heart was in his throat, fearing that his lover would say the wrong thing.
"I'm not familiar with Zhu Haiming at all. If you don't believe me, ask other people. My family has been poor farmers for eight generations. What do we have to do with capitalists?"
"I don't know. I'm not familiar with Comrade Xiao Ting either. I'm uneducated and can't talk to her. I'll just farm. What else can a poor peasant do if he doesn't farm?"
"Fangfang? Then we can chat, we're from the same social class."
