Chapter 159 Still the same cloth bag



Tian Suyun's heart was pounding. When she heard the sudden silence beside her, she was so nervous that she almost couldn't breathe.

For six years, she had suffered a lot in her husband's family. Even the man was not as considerate and gentle as he was at the beginning. She had completely turned into a country woman.

All this is because of Li Zhigao!

She finally got the chance. Even if she died, she would make Li Zhigao unlucky!

She shuddered and said, "Brothers, I really didn't lie to you. I was also an educated youth and knew Li Zhigao. I can be sure that it was him I saw."

Scar cursed, "Damn it, he must have taken that thing!"

The bald man was half-believing and half-doubting, and said angrily: "You'd better not lie to us, or I can kill you at any time!"

"Let you go home first. We will keep an eye on you. Don't reveal any information about us, and don't call the police. Do you understand?"

Tian Suyun nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, my two brothers, I will stay at home peacefully, as if nothing happened!"

The bald man squinted his eyes and looked in a certain direction: "You said Li Zhigao was an educated youth and is now in the educated youth center, right?"

Tian Suyun swallowed her saliva and said, "No, that's right."

As the sky gradually turned white, Tian Suyun limped back home with her arms folded, and looked back in the direction of the educated youth point.

There was a glint of malice and the pleasure of revenge in his eyes.

At dawn, the cockcrowed and Li Zhigao woke up early from his dream and climbed up from the broken bed made of wooden boards.

Then I started to wash up and make a fire to cook sweet potato porridge.

When wisps of smoke began to rise from the chimney, the other people at the educated youth site had almost gotten up.

After so many years, there are fewer and fewer educated youth in the educated youth points, and the remaining educated youth have developed some feelings of sympathy with each other, and no longer hate Li Zhigao as much.

"Zhi Gao, why are you up so early?"

Li Zhigao is a little fatter than he was six years ago, but his expression looks much more humble.

He smiled and said, "If you can't sleep, just get up and cook some food so everyone can go to work later."

Thanks to the development of agricultural machinery, farm work is now much easier. Coupled with the increase in grain production, people no longer go hungry.

Li Zhigao can occasionally send some things home.

"I won't be working with you guys later. I've asked the team leader for leave and I need to go to the county."

The other educated youth understood.

"I'm sending something to your family again, right? I see. Be careful on the road. I heard there are spies around lately."

I don't know who spread the news, but it made everyone panic.

Li Zhigao didn't take it seriously. He was of no value, so why would the spies attack him when they had nothing better to do?

Holding a bag of local specialties and grain, he left the educated youth site and headed towards the county town.

All I could see along the way were various fields. The sun was shining and the temperature was slightly hot, but with a slight breeze, it was still comfortable.

There were not many people halfway there, and Li Zhigao always felt that the atmosphere around him was not right. Before he could react, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head and lost consciousness.

Baldy and Scar quickly began to search Li Zhigao's body and the bag in his hand.

"Money, tickets, rice, sweet potatoes, bamboo shoots... Damn it, he doesn't have anything!"

Scar spat and said, "Looks like he left his things at the educated youth camp. Tie him up and hide him first. Then we can go to the educated youth camp and check it out!"

Bald: "It's broad daylight now, isn't it bad?"

"Everyone's at work during the day, isn't that convenient for us?"

"It's easy to be discovered."

"Then you watch over them while I go and search alone!"

The bald man looked at the persistent Scar, did not try to stop him, and nodded.

"Okay."

Wang Jingxia picked up the cloth bag simply to find out who it belonged to, and she didn't have any thoughts about the bag itself.

Now that she remembered it, she didn't want to keep it.

But she was a little unsure whether the fellow villager had lost it accidentally or had thrown it away on purpose.

She didn't know where the person was right now, and if he still wanted it, it wouldn't be nice to throw his things away.

So, she simply decided: hand it over to the police!

Although the other party may not call the police, I have neither embezzled nor thrown away the money, so I have a clear conscience.

So, Wang Jingxia took the cloth bag, said hello to the team leader, borrowed Hua Xuguo's bicycle and rode to the county town.

Scar was walking along the road towards Dafang Village when he suddenly saw a bicycle coming towards him and it flew past him.

There was something hanging on the handlebars, floating under the handlebars as the bike moved at a high speed.

He turned his head and squinted to take a look, and suddenly felt that the floating thing looked familiar, but he was not sure in his heart.

"Will the bag fall into her hands?"

Scar shook his head, suddenly thought about it, turned around and walked towards the bald man.

"What, you said you saw the bag?"

The bald man asked excitedly.

Scar's eyes were serious: "I saw a woman carrying a cloth bag going to the county town."

The bald man pondered for a moment and said, "Then things will be complicated. Let's go to Dafang Village and find out who has picked up that cloth bag recently!"

"No, I think we need to retreat quickly. If that woman is found by the police, they will definitely track her down to Dafang Village!"

"But our superiors told us to stay near Dafang Village and wait for an opportunity to steal scientific research data from the research site!"

Both of them turned their eyes to Li Zhigao, who had not yet woken up.

Scar asked, "What about him?"

Bald: "Let's see what's going on first. If there's nothing in the next two days, we'll go search the educated youth site!"

Wang Jingxia rode all the way to the county town without any obstruction and handed the cloth bag to the police.

But when the police saw the cloth bag, their expressions immediately became serious.

He said in a serious tone, "Comrade, where did you pick up this cloth bag?"

Wang Jingxia was a little puzzled: "I saw it in the pond when I was washing clothes."

The police officer continued to ask, "A pond? Is it connected to the river?"

Wang Jingxia shook her head: "I don't know. There are two small ditches in front and behind the pond. They should flow into the fields."

"Then do you know who threw this cloth bag into the pond or where it floated from?"

Wang Jingxia: "I know this. I met the owner of the cloth bag six years ago, so when I saw it again, it looked familiar, so I picked it up. It was picked up by another person in our village and then thrown away there."

"Do you know the owner of this cloth bag?"

"I don't know him, I've only met him once. I don't know if he lost it or what, and then someone from the village found it and threw it away again, and then it came into my hands. I was afraid the original owner still wanted the bag, so I handed it over to the police."

The police nodded and said, "You did a great job."

Wang Jingxia found it unusual and asked, "Is there something special about this cloth bag?"

"It's like this. After our investigation, we found that the owner of this cloth bag is a spy!"
