Chapter 161 Li Hongjun Appointed as the Captain of the Public Security Team
Cao Biao hurried to the edge of the well, shone a flashlight inside, and shouted, "Xiao Ba, what's going on now?"
The well is about ten meters deep, and the flashlight beam has a limited range, so it is impossible to see the bottom of the well clearly at night.
Xiao Ba had a hemp rope tied around his waist, and half of his body was floating on the water: "Captain, what should I do if I can't pull Han Ergou?"
Cao Biao stamped his feet and shouted angrily, "Why don't you hurry up and come up? What are you wasting time on down there?"
Xiao Ba responded, and everyone worked together to pull him up. Cao Biao took off his cotton jacket and trousers, put on his sweater and trousers, picked up the rope and tied it around his waist.
"Captain, let me go!"
Cao Biao glanced at Xing Laoqi and said, "Fuck, it's already so late. If Han Ergou is drowned any longer, you and I will have something to do..."
Xing Laoqi shut up. Cao Biao came to the edge of the well and stepped into the well holding the rope.
Before he reached the bottom of the well, Han Ergou's body floated to the surface of the water. Cao Biao's heart skipped a beat, and without caring about anything else, he loosened his hand holding the rope, crawled to the bottom of the well, picked up Han Ergou, tied the rope around his waist, and let everyone pull him up.
After Han Ergou came up, Doctor Shen, who was waiting nearby, immediately started rescue work.
Cao Biao came up and asked tremblingly: "Are you still alive?"
Mouths of water were squeezed out of Han Ergou's stomach. This kid was lucky enough to be rescued.
Xing Laoqi took the clothes and put them on Cao Biao: "Your life is saved."
When Cao Biao heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, felt a chill down his spine, and couldn't help feeling a little scared.
Zhou Yong was arranging for their job transfer. If someone died in Huaixi Village at this critical juncture, it would be the result of the night patrol personnel of the public security brigade neglecting their duties.
If they are held accountable, wouldn't Zhou Yong's efforts be in vain?
Thinking of this, Cao Biao looked at Xiao Ba, and Xing Laoqi brought the cotton trousers for him to put on.
Han Ergou was carried to the infirmary. Cao Biao went home to change into cotton clothes and then went over to check on the situation.
Coming out of the clinic, Cao Biao took a long puff of his cigarette. He walked down the street with Xing Laoqi and Liu Dazhuang: "Don't you think this is very strange?"
Although Xiao Batou is not tall, he is very strong.
And we don’t need to let Xiao Ba carry Han Ergou up, we just need to let him tie the rope around Han Ergou’s waist.
It was such a simple task, but Xiao Ba stayed at the bottom of the well for three or four minutes and still didn't complete it. This was very unusual.
Furthermore, Xiao Ba knew that he could not save Han Ergou, so he should have informed everyone so that other people could be sent down to rescue him. However, he did not say a word at the bottom of the well and almost killed Han Ergou.
Xing Laoqi and Liu Dazhuang paused, and Cao Biao also stopped.
"Xiao Ba, this is murder."
Cao Biao raised his eyebrows: "Do you have evidence?"
Xiao Ba went down to rescue Han Ergou, but he was too weak to pull him up. How can this be considered murder?
Xing Laoqi shut up, and Liu Dazhuang said, "Xiao Ba has become a disaster, we have to be on guard."
Cao Biao nodded, took a puff of cigarette, and threw away the cigarette butt in his hand: "Ask Han Ergou tomorrow who he drank water with, and then try to get him to say something to see if he had any conflict with Xiao Ba recently..."
Xing Laoqi raised his eyebrows: "Maybe the root of everything lies with Bai Jie?"
All three of them thought of this possibility. The reason why Cao Biao didn't say anything was mainly because he felt that Xiao Ba was a smart man and would not want to kill Han Ergou just because of a piece of junk.
Cao Biao remained silent, and Liu Dazhuang continued, "It's not impossible."
After the three of them finished talking, they went back home. The next day, Han Ergou's affair became a hot topic in the village.
Cao Biao asked him to go to the public security brigade for questioning. Han Ergou had been drinking at his cousin's house last night and had no idea how he fell into the well.
Xing Laoqi reminded him to drink less and try not to go out alone at night.
Han Ergou went back with a confused look on his face. Cao Biao and Xing Laoqi looked at each other.
"Seventh Brother, what do you think about this matter?"
Xing Laoqi glanced at Cao Biao and said, "Why did Han Ergou pass by the well on his way home last night? Could someone have led him there?"
According to Han Ergou, he had dinner at his cousin's house and went straight home.
But if he went back home, how did he fall into the well?
Cao Biao raised his hand and slowly touched his forehead: "It would be great if Zhou Yong was here, he would definitely be able to analyze something."
This matter was too confusing, and Cao Biao thought about it over and over again but still couldn't figure out the twists and turns involved.
Xing Laoqi smiled and said, "Captain, you are good in every way, except for one thing: you don't like to use your brain..."
Cao Biao grinned. Over the years, he was used to relying on his brothers to help analyze problems whenever he encountered them, so gradually he became too lazy to use his brain.
The two chatted for a while, and then Cao Biao was taken away, so Xing Laoqi went to deal with the verbal dispute between the villagers.
It was determined that Han Ergou fell into the well due to excessive drinking. Han Ergou himself had no objection to this result, and no one else would say anything.
The situation was quickly calmed down, but the public security brigade increased the number of patrols at night, and Li Baotian used a loudspeaker to inform all villagers to drink in moderation.
On March 6, the meat processing plant issued a rectification document, and will set up slaughterhouses and meat processing stations in various communes. In order to ensure that the livestock do not lose weight, the staff of the meat processing plant will still purchase the livestock in person, and try to slaughter them on the same day.
Li Caiyun was very happy about this policy. In this way, the Huaixi Village breeding farm would not need to add additional staff, which would not only save expenses but also avoid a lot of trouble.
On March 10, Cao Biao, Xing Laoqi and Liu Dazhuang received a notice of secondment. They were transferred to work at the Hongqi Commune Police Station.
Li Hongjun became the captain of the public security brigade. The moment he received the notice, he was completely confused.
Not to mention Li Hongjun, even Li Baotian was confused.
"Uncle San, what's going on?"
Li Baotian blinked and looked at his nephew: "Uncle San also wants to know what's going on."
Li Hongjun sat down on the stool, his head was like a paste.
The security brigade came to ask him to come over, saying that Cao Biao wanted to do a handover with him.
Li Hongjun came to the public security brigade in a daze. Cao Biao patted him on the shoulder and said, "From now on, this piece of land will be under your management. Do a good job."
There was no one else in the office. Li Hongjun frowned and said, "Captain, what's going on? How come I'm the captain of the security team?"
Cao Biao smiled and said, "You can ask Zhou Yong about this when he comes back."
A word of advice awakened the dreamer. The next moment he had the answer to the problem that he couldn't understand the previous moment.
Li Hongjun's expression became extremely complicated. Cao Biao patted him on the shoulder again and did the handover work with him.
"Captain, there's no need to be so anxious, right?"
Cao Biao said with a smile: "I will go to Hongqi Commune tomorrow. Do you think I am in a hurry?"
Li Hongjun scratched his head and sat down to do the handover work with Cao Biao. The brigade radio started to sound a few times, announcing the recent appointment and secondment notices.
Once the matter was announced, it caused an instant uproar. Villagers came out of their homes and gathered in groups of three or five to discuss the matter.
Miao Jinfeng, who was cutting grass at the farm, learned about this from the water-drawing worker. She stopped cutting grass and rode Li Caiyun's bicycle back to the village in a hurry to find Liu Dazhuang to verify the truth of the story.
Li Caiyun frowned slightly, feeling that this happened so suddenly. She glanced at Zhao Chunhua who was in a state of surprise and said, "Sister-in-law, don't you go back and take a look?"
