Chapter 215 The brigade warehouse was stolen...
Li Baotian stood up without waiting for the other party to finish his stammering words.
Zhou Yong slowly put down his chopsticks and thought to himself: It seems like I won’t be able to have a peaceful New Year.
There was a fire in Li Caixia's house in the early morning, and four more people died at noon.
It's the end of the year, and it seems like all the bad things have come together.
Li Baotian and Zhou Yong hadn't even finished their meal when the father-in-law and son-in-law followed the people from the public security brigade and left home.
Not long after they arrived at the Han family, Li Hongjun came limping in.
Zhou Yong looked at Bai Jie, who was foaming at the mouth and laughing crazily. He never thought that this woman would be so cruel as to put rat poison in the family's food.
As a result, Han Ergou's grandmother, parents and a one-year-old child died!
Han Ergou was heartbroken and cried heartbreakingly. If everyone hadn't stopped him, he would have probably killed Bai Jie.
Li Hongjun hurriedly sent someone to the commune police station to report the case, and directed the security brigade to maintain the scene.
Bai Jie didn't say a word, just kept laughing. Her crazy look made many people present feel a chill down their spines.
After two or three hours, the public security comrades arrived and Bai Jie, Han Ergou and some members of the Han family were invited in for questioning.
As for the four bodies, they will be temporarily placed in the Han family. The Han family will be able to bury them after the forensic examination.
When something like this happens, Li Hongjun, the captain of the security team, has to go and cooperate with the investigation. Not only him, but Li Baotian, the village chief, also has to go.
A cordon was set up and the police station asked the public security brigade to guard the scene, while the others were taken to the commune.
The Han family’s neighbors on both sides and in the front and back yards all felt that it was unlucky, and as soon as the police officers left, they all started cursing.
Zhou Yong frowned slightly and thought: No wonder they can become neighbors, none of them have even a bit of sympathy, birds of a feather flock together.
"Alright, just curse a few words and go away!"
The four bodies were still lying in Han's house, and these people were cursing. Zhou Yong couldn't bear to watch or listen to them anymore, so he spoke out to stop them.
Everyone looked at it, muttered to themselves and went back to their homes. Some people had just arrived and didn't know what was going on, so they asked around to find out the situation.
Cao Biao, Xing Laoqi and Liu Dazhuang rushed over after hearing the news, and Zhou Yong spoke briefly to them.
Xing Laoqi's eyes widened when he heard this: "Is Bai Jie such a cruel woman?"
Zhou Yong lowered his voice: "What are you shouting?"
This is what the Han family said. Judging from the scene, it is very likely that Bai Jie poisoned the person. We need to wait for the results of the investigation to determine whether this is the case.
Xing Laoqi looked into the Han family courtyard, and Liu Dazhuang said quietly, "I'm curious, if Bai Jie poisoned it, where did she get the rat poison from?"
Since they all live in the same village, everyone knows exactly how Bai Jie lives her life.
Normally she never left the house, never went to the commune once all year round, and had no money on her.
Liu Dazhuang's words made Cao Biao think deeply. They worked in the public security system and liked to analyze cases when they encountered them.
Zhou Yong looked at the three of them and said, "Let's go to the brigade and talk."
There are too many people here and it's not a place for chatting.
The four of them went towards the team, and they met Ma San on the way.
The five of them arrived at the team, and Cao Biao laughed out loud, "It's so cold in the room."
The team is on holiday and no one is lighting the stove. How can the office not be cold?
Liu Dazhuang glanced at Cao Biao and said, "If it's cold, light the stove."
Of course Cao Biao knew how to light the stove, but the problem was that he didn't want to move.
Xing Laoqi shook his head, resigned himself to his fate and went out to get some wood.
The stove started burning and soon the room became warm.
The kettle was on the stove, the water was boiling, and everyone was chatting with a glass of water.
Ever since Cao Biao and the other two were seconded, they had very few opportunities to get together throughout the year.
The five of them gathered together and first talked about Han Ergou's family, and then laughed and boasted.
When men get together, they can chat for a whole day over a pack of cigarettes and for a whole night over a bottle of wine.
Talk about work, talk about trivial issues at home, in short, everyone has their own worries.
Cao Biao is now worried about his child going to school on the street, while Liu Dazhuang and Xing Laoqi are worried about when they can get regular employment.
Ma San’s trouble comes from work, because up to now, the school still lacks teachers for junior and senior high schools.
This problem also troubled Xu Jianmin. He tried to communicate with the staff of the Education Bureau many times, but each time his efforts fell on deaf ears.
Everyone talked about their troubles, except Zhou Yong, who remained silent.
Ma San and the other four looked at him, and Cao Biao frowned: "Why are you so quiet?"
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "I'm listening to you guys!"
Xing Laoqi curled his lips: "Come on, tell me what you are thinking about?"
Zhou Yong was thinking about the electricity issue, and also about who would take on the position of women's director when people returned to work after the Chinese New Year.
The electricity supply has been implemented, but it requires financial support. The Huaixi Village Brigade has no money in its account, so how can they get electricity?
Then there is the position of director of women's affairs. Zhou Yong felt a little painful just thinking about these things.
After hearing what he said, everyone fell silent.
After a while, Xing Laoqi said, "If it really doesn't work, we can just wait a year or two before turning on the electricity."
Zhou Yong would like to have electricity available a year or two later, but he knows that in a year or two at most the production team will be disbanded, land will be distributed to households under the household contract responsibility system, village cadres will be reshuffled, and the position of production team leader will no longer exist.
It didn’t matter to him whether he was the production team leader or not; the main thing was that he wanted to get the electricity connected before he left.
Otherwise, if he left the brigade, with Li Baotian's ability, he would not be able to raise money to provide electricity.
Unless we let nature take its course and wait for a few years before asking the higher-ups to provide electricity.
However, if this happens, they will have to live without electricity for many years, which is not only not conducive to the development of Huaixi Village, but also something Zhou Yong cannot accept.
“Let’s see first!!”
Zhou Yong replied, and Xing Laoqi looked at him and said nothing else.
The five of them chatted about everything until dark and made an appointment to go to Cao Biao's house for dinner the next day.
The story goes like this. As soon as Zhou Yong got home, he was called away by the security brigade.
The forensic doctor has arrived and village cadres are needed to go to the scene to cooperate with the work.
Uncle Li Baotian and nephew Li Hongjun were cooperating with the investigation at the commune police station, so the people from the public security brigade could only call Zhou Yong.
Because four people died, the police station has reported the matter to the county public security bureau.
The superiors attached great importance to this matter, and the forensic doctor returned to work during his vacation.
In the cold wind, Zhou Yong stamped his feet, glanced through the window at the forensic doctor busy in the house, and looked up at the night sky.
There were four bodies, but only one forensic doctor and one assistant came. Zhou Yong felt that they would have to be busy until dawn.
Things happened as he said. The forensic doctor and his assistant finished their work at around five in the morning.
During his forensic work, Zhou Yong would stay outside as long as he could bear it. He would only go inside to warm up when he really couldn't stand the cold.
However, he only entered the outer room of the Han family. As for the house, he never went in once.
However, before the forensic doctor left, comrades from the county public security bureau and police station arrived.
Zhou Yong hadn't slept all night and had just eaten yesterday morning, so he was now hungry and sleepy.
He forced himself to cooperate with the public security comrades until Cao Biao, Xing Laoqi and Liu Dazhuang showed up and rescued him.
Zhou Yong handed the matter over to them, went home to eat and prepared to take a nap, but someone was against him.
"Captain, it's bad, the warehouse of the brigade has been robbed..."
Zhou Yong: “…?”
