Qin An Ning rolled her eyes, "When Meng Yu called me just now, she said you were looking for Qi Shuyue. Didn't she run away? Why are you here looking for her?
All the educated youth here know that Qi Shuyue and I have a bad relationship. I won't help her, and she won't contact me. It's a waste of time for you to look for clues here."
The man continued to ask, "Based on your understanding, who will Qi Shuyue ask for help?"
"Please don't interrogate me as if I were a criminal suspect.
First, I don’t know Qi Shuyue. We had a fight not long after she arrived.
Second, Qi Shuyue and I have a bad relationship. I don’t care whether she is dead or alive. You don’t need to test me again and again.
I am an educated youth who lives in the educated youth compound all day long. There are eyes everywhere around me. You can just ask and you will know whether anyone has come to see me.
Besides, I have a bright future, why should I be involved with a labor camp inmate?
It's your fault that Qi Shuyue, a prisoner in a labor camp, was able to escape. I just ridiculed someone who had a grudge against me, and that happened a few days ago.
The reason I can answer so many of your confusing questions is that I am aware and willing to cooperate with your work.
Instead of asking around, you should go find someone.”
When he said this, Qin An Ning was already very impatient, and his tone was not very good, as if he would get angry if he said one more word.
Anyway, they are in charge of the labor camp and have no control over her, so what is there to be afraid of?
If she just kept being nice to them, they would think she was guilty.
A middle-aged man wearing glasses nearby quickly stepped out to smooth things over. "Qin Zhiqing, we're a little worried about the escape of the prisoner. Please don't mind."
"I understand your anxiety, but you can't doubt me without any basis, right?
Just because I went to see Qi Shuyue a few days ago? If I had known about these things, I would never have gone.
It's so cold, Qi Shuyue is a labor camp prisoner, with no money and no letter of introduction, where can she run?
The people you're looking for to pick her up should be her relatives or friends, so why are you looking for someone like me who doesn't get along with her?"
Seeing that they really couldn't get anything out of them, they decided not to stay here any longer.
"Captain Lu, if you have any news about Qi Shuyue, please report it to us immediately."
Lu Rongjiang nodded, "I definitely will."
The three of them rode away on their bicycles.
On the way, the eagle-eyed man was still unwilling to give in. "I think it must be related to that Qin Zhiqing."
The man with glasses asked back, "It's true that they have a bad relationship. If you were in my shoes, would you take a risk for your enemy?"
Hawkeye fell silent.
The other person who had remained silent asked, "What if we can't find the person? The higher-ups will punish us."
The man with glasses laughed, "Who said Qi Shuyue ran away?
Our quarry blasts the mountain every day, so isn't it normal for one or two people to die? "
Qi Shuyue in the space didn’t know yet that her identity was about to be cancelled and she would become an illegal resident.
Qi Shuyue's escape did not cause any waves at the educated youth site. The people from the farm left, and everyone discussed it for a few minutes before dispersing.
Qin An Ning hadn't met Lu Cheng in the space for several days because he wanted to capture Qi Shuyue.
I was originally planning to wait for him in the space tonight, but I didn’t expect Lu Cheng to come back in the afternoon.
"Didn't you say you were busy these few days before the New Year? Why are you back again?"
"I came back from the provincial capital today. Since it was still early, I decided to go home and take a look.
Ningning, the house is now empty, have you figured out how to clean it up?
Qin An Ning thought for a moment and said, "The house the old lady lives in is quite clean. We just need to repaint the walls.
It's the floor. The cement floor is too easy to get dusty, and there's no flooring or anything like that these days. Maybe we could just paint the floor."
She remembered seeing in a TV show before that cement floors could be painted to prevent dust.
Anyway, I'm not staying here right now, so this is a good time to let the flavors soak in.
"Also, I think the courtyard wall should be raised a little bit."
The current courtyard wall is only about 1.6 meters high. People who are taller can see directly into the courtyard, and there is no privacy.
"Okay, we'll have to wait until spring when it's warmer before we build the wall. It's too cold now.
There is really no such floor in China now, so it’s no problem to paint it.”
"Just paint it." Their conditions are already very good, so don't let anyone report them for hedonism or something.
"By the way, do you know who that old lady's uncle is?"
Qin An Ning thought for a long time but couldn't think of anyone they knew in the provincial capital. "Who?"
"Xie Shangdong."
Qin Anning: "..."
Who is Xie Shangdong?
Seeing that Qin An Ning had truly forgotten, Lu Cheng reminded her, "That police captain."
"Oh, the one investigating the Lu Changfu case?"
Lu Cheng nodded.
"Have you inquired about whether Lu Changfu's case has been solved?"
"We asked, but Xie Shangdong didn't say much. The murderer hasn't been caught, but they seem to have found out some things from the past."
Anyway, Lu Changfu is not a good person and deserves to die. As long as this matter does not involve her and Lu Cheng, Qin An Ning doesn't care too much.
After they chatted for a while, Qin An Ning remembered to tell him about Qi Shuyue.
Lu Cheng didn't blame Qin An Ning for arresting people. He would have done the same if he were in their place.
When people are causing trouble for us, what's the point of talking about morality?
Moreover, they were not satisfied with harming Ningning once, and sent people to the Northeast to harm her. If this matter was not resolved, he and Ningning might encounter more troubles in the future.
"Then how do you want to deal with Qi Shuyue?"
"Let's starve her for a few days. I plan to only feed her water these days.
Fear and hunger combined, it should be easier to interrogate her in a few days."
She brought in two buckets of water, which was sure to be enough for her to drink for the next few days.
Space water can strengthen the body, so I won’t let her drink it.
Lu Cheng unconditionally supports any decision his wife makes. "Then I won't enter the space for the time being."
He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and beat someone up. Besides, it was impossible for him and Ningning to always enter the space at the same time. Even a single man and a single woman had to avoid suspicion.
"Ningning, the village is slaughtering a pig tomorrow, and my mother wants you to come over for dinner. She also wants you to spend the New Year at home."
"We can have dinner tomorrow, but I won't go during the New Year." She and Lu Cheng haven't gotten married yet, so how could she go to his house to celebrate the New Year?
"Why? You're all alone. It'll be more lively at my house."
"Are you stupid?" Qin An Ning expressed her concerns, but this time Lu Cheng disagreed.
"Ningning, you have met my family, they like you very much.
If it were any other day, it would be fine. But I don’t want you to be alone during the New Year. If you don’t come to my house, I’ll spend the New Year with you.”
Qin An Ning glared at Lu Cheng. What nonsense was he talking about? What would Lu Rongjiang and Wang Qiufen think if he came to spend the New Year with her?
"Forget it, let me think about this again."
As the two were talking, someone called Qin An Ning at the gate. When he went out, he saw it was the postman.
"Comrade Qin Anning, your telegram."
The telegram was from Zhou Xinping, asking her to call back.
Qin An Ning didn't know what urgent matter had caused him to send a telegram.
When I saw that it was three o'clock, there was still time, so I quickly got dressed and went to the commune to make a phone call.
