Chapter 124 Xiao Zhou
"That's settled."
Su Tong patted Lin Li's shoulder, took the lunch box from him, and said:
"I'll gladly accept the breakfast and the medicine box! Thank Comrade Qin for me."
Then he said to Cheng Gang, "Comrade Cheng, please help me put the medicine box on the car over there."
After saying goodbye to Liu Shiwen and his wife, Su Tong waved and got into the policeman's jeep. Liu Shiwen gave some instructions to the policeman who was driving.
Lin Li and Cheng Gang watched the car drive away in confusion.
After the car drove out of the city, Su Tong picked up the medicine box first.
When she opened it, she found that the medicines and basic surgical instruments that she had crossed out on the list yesterday were all there, and she even added a lot of commonly used medicines that she didn't write down, filling the medicine box. She couldn't help but sigh at Qin Yi's high efficiency and great ability.
But I have to pay him the money properly later. I can't ask him for help and spend money at the same time. This box of medicine will cost a lot of money.
With these things, she felt more confident and could handle common injuries.
Su Tong took out lunch boxes in a very good mood. Peng Hui filled two large boxes with dumplings, while Lin Li brought a large box of egg noodles. There were a lot of eggs in them, and it was obvious that it was specially ordered.
The young policeman who was driving insisted that he had already had breakfast, so she didn't hesitate and started eating dumplings.
The dumplings were filled with mushrooms and meat. This was the first time Su Tong had eaten mushrooms since coming here. It was really a rare thing.
Ezhou belongs to the central region, but the people's living habits are more like those of the south, and the custom of eating dumplings is not popular. It is estimated that there are northerners in the Liu family or they are all northerners.
Liu Shiwen is on the public security front, but the Liu family lives in the provincial government compound. Although Su Tong has never asked, Mr. Liu's position in the provincial government must not be low. Positions of this level have a wide geographical span, and it is normal to be transferred from the north to the south.
Su Tong was thinking about this and that, but the policeman was driving with a serious expression, as quiet as the air.
Su Tong casually ate a few dumplings, then put away his chopsticks and lunch box, and chatted with the young policeman with a smile.
"Comrade Public Security, you didn't get scolded last time you sent me back, did you?"
The young policeman stared straight ahead without blinking, and after a long while he said sullenly, "I didn't get scolded."
"I'll tell you! How could someone like Political Commissar Liu easily vent his anger on others?"
The young police officer pursed his lips, his face darker than the bottom of a pot, "But he asked me to sort out the case files for the past five years! I have been collecting dust in the archives room since I sent you back, and I was not sent out until today."
"Puchi——" Su Tong couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The young policeman turned his head and looked at her with an angry and aggrieved look in his eyes, which made Su Tong even happier.
The young policeman’s surname is Zhou, and his given name is Zhou Jin. He is nineteen years old and has only been working for a year. He has a round face and looks younger than his actual age.
Although he didn't talk much, Su Tong was in a good mood today. He found topics to talk to him along the way, and he learned a lot about the current public security system.
When the car arrived at Qingfeng Town, Public Security Officer Xiao Zhou turned the car to the front of the police station. He turned to Su Tong and said:
"The Political Commissar asked me to convey the latest case situation to Director Jiang."
Su Tong knew that Liu Shiwen was still a little worried about the escaped bandit leader, so he asked Xiao Zhou to explain.
When Xiao Zhou came out, Jiang Pinglu also followed him out.
Sure enough, he told Su Tong that there were people from the police station squatting in Yunshan Village every day during this period.
Now that it was free time, the village militia had been organized and they took turns patrolling the village. The security was much higher than usual, which made her feel at ease.
Su Tong expressed her gratitude. The case of Wu Jiafu involved quite a lot of cases. Although the possibility of the bandit leader escaping and running to Yunshan Village was very small, if such a vicious criminal was not brought to justice, it would not only be a threat to her, but also to other people in the village. The New Year was coming soon, so it was better to be cautious.
Then Jiang Pinglu told her an unexpected news.
Wu Jiabao is dead.
During the days when the incident happened in the old Wu family, Wu Jiabao was sent to Wang Guilan's mother's home, where he slipped and fell into a pond and drowned.
After Wu Dashan got the news, he rushed there anxiously, but he fell off the embankment and fell into a coma. He is still lying in the hospital.
Jiang Pinglu sighed and then continued:
"Now all the Wu elders have been arrested and injured, and only Mrs. Wu, who lives in the second elder's house, is left. She is paralyzed. Fortunately, Wu Dongling has been released. She said she will go back to study and receive education after she has dealt with the family affairs... After all, the family is in such a mess, and the eldest Wu needs someone to take care of it."
Su Tong listened with a frown and remained silent.
Jiang Pinglu looked at Su Tong's face and felt a little bit reluctant. He thought that although that family didn't treat her as a human being, at least she was still a blood relative. There would always be a chance to ease the relationship in the future. Now that the family was in pieces, she must be sad in the end...
Jiang Pinglu slowed down his tone: "Um...Tongya, I'm just telling you a message, don't take it too seriously."
Su Tong finally spoke up, "I am a little surprised, but I won't take it to heart. I was just thinking that Wu Dongling was released so quickly, I'm afraid those people didn't tell the truth again!"
Jiang Pinglu: “…”
The news of Wu Jiabao's drowning was reported back to Yunshan Village yesterday. It was the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, three days before the Chinese New Year.
Wang Guilan's parents' home is in Dayan Village next door. In addition to her two married sisters, there are two brothers in her parents' home. Because the youngest son of her younger brother is similar in age to Jiabao, Jiabao is usually sent to her younger brother Wang Qianjin's home.
My younger brother's wife, Li Yufen, is a shrewd person who will not suffer any loss. Although Wang Guilan sent Jiabao back home more often than not, she would always bring some things to her house. Li Yufen was happy to see that she did not suffer any loss.
Anyway, she doesn't have to worry about anything, and she doesn't have to look after the ten-year-old child. When he comes, he can just play with his younger son and other boys in the village. As long as he doesn't go hungry at the end of the day, it's fine.
But I didn't know that something bad would happen this time.
Dayan Village happened to have slaughtered the New Year pig yesterday. The strong laborers in the village rolled up their sleeves and ran to help press the pig legs early in the morning. The women also ran over with winnowing baskets in their hands to watch the fun.
Although there are many steps from slaughtering to weighing and dividing the meat, and the actual meat distribution has to wait until the afternoon, they are not afraid of the cold weather and are willing to wait there early in the cold wind to enjoy the sight and comment on which pig is fatter. They look forward to this day to enjoy the meat all year round, and the scene is as lively as a festival.
Who would have thought that these little boys would go to the pond at the entrance of the village to break ice for fun. At this season, the pond was covered with a thin layer of ice, and a stone dropped into the pond would cause a large piece of crack. They would have been just breaking ice for fun, but one of the kids took out a few whips from his pocket, lit them and threw them into the water.
In these days, if a kid had a whip in his hand, it would be like a modern kid having a new Ultraman in his hand, and he would immediately attract the attention of his friends.
Wu Jiabao was spoiled by Wang Guilan since he was a child, and he was used to being arrogant at home. When he saw the whip in the other person's hand, his eyes lit up and he tried to grab it.
Unfortunately, the child on the opposite side was also very strong. In addition, the children from Dayan Village saw that he, a child from another village, dared to grab things, so they rushed up and started pushing on the embankment.
Unable to tell who had done the attack, Wu Jiabao retreated backwards amid the shoving and pushing, and he missed a step and rolled into the pond.
Once the cotton coat gets wet, it becomes like a weight, pulling the person down.
