035
"That female comrade Sang is here again." Dong Shiyi said, standing next to Xiao Li, "This won't do. We can't let female comrades come to our barracks in the open air. We have so many male comrades here. If this gets out, it'll ruin the reputation of these female comrades!"
"Judging from Liu Tutu's expression, I think he has feelings for that female comrade. Do you want him to be a matchmaker for them?" Xiao Li also felt that it was not a good idea for Sang Xiaofang to come here every day.
Reputation is too important to women nowadays. A girl who goes to places where there are many men every day is nothing! If people knew about this, this girl and her family would be criticized and they would never be able to marry into a good family again.
Since the Chinese New Year, Sang Xiaofang has been coming to the military camp every day looking for someone. Her eyes light up when she sees Liu Tutu, and the change is visible to the naked eye. Even the tough guys in the regiment can see it. How could Liu Tutu, the person involved, not feel it?
As the saying goes: It's easier for a girl to pursue a boy than a girl does. This is because it's easier for a girl to pursue a boy.
So even if Sang Xiaofang didn't say anything, but just looked at Liu Tutu with burning eyes, the other party would immediately develop a good impression of her.
After being injured, Liu Tutu became somewhat introverted and self-deprecating. Although he could not show anything on the surface when facing the enthusiastic Sang Xiaofang, Xiao Li still noticed a slight change in his subtle expression. This iron-blooded man with a little inferiority complex in his heart had evil intentions towards the weak girl.
Xiao Li felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer, and it was necessary to let Dong Shiyi, the political commissar, have a good talk with him and listen to Liu Tutu's true thoughts.
If you like her, pursue her. If you don’t like her, break up with her quickly and don’t waste her time.
In the future, they will each find a mother and pursue their own happiness. Isn’t that great!
"I should have a good talk with Liu Tutu." What happened between the two of them has seriously affected the internal discipline of the army, and many young unmarried men are ready to make trouble.
After Sang Xiaofang left that afternoon, Dong Shiyi stopped Liu Tutu, who had a look of joy in his eyes, and said, "Captain Liu, come to my office and chat for a while."
When they arrived at the office, Dong Shiyi said straight to the point: "I remember you are 22 years old this year."
A 22-year-old rural soldier became a battalion commander at such a young age without any help from anyone. This shows that he is very capable. As long as he does not make any mistakes, Liu Tutu has a bright future.
"Has your mother found you a wife back home?" Dong Shiyi didn't want to see an outstanding cadre in their regiment make a principled mistake and end up ruining his reputation. "Tell me the truth, don't try to be clever with me."
"No!" Liu Tutu slowly clenched his hands at his side into fists. In fact, he had a fiancée in his hometown before. They had met several times, and both sets of parents had said that they would hold a banquet for them when he turned eighteen.
The year Liu Tutu went to the battlefield, news was misreported. Some people said that he died on the battlefield and sacrificed his life!
The girl's family quickly broke off the engagement and arranged a marriage with someone else.
When he returned, he went to look for his fiancée, but she was afraid of him... She looked at her injured face, her eyes filled with fear.
Liu Tutu let go and said to the girl: "Don't be afraid, I don't blame you, I just want to wish you happiness and hope that your future will be smooth."
From then on, that person was no longer his fiancée. He rejected his parents' idea of arranging another blind date and left his hometown with his bags.
Dong Shiyi observed his every little movement carefully, and asked again with a stern expression, "Are you sure?"
"Report, confirmed!"
Dong Shiyi: "Okay, since you are sure, then I will believe you. I recently heard that the female comrade from Sangjia Village often comes to the group to look for you. What do you think?"
"Political... Political Commissar..." Liu Tutu scratched his head, his face shy, his dialect from his hometown bursting out with excitement. "I like that girl. Other female comrades are afraid of me, but that girl's eyes are like stars when she sees me."
People in love, regardless of gender, will have some lower IQ. Liu Tutu not only has lower IQ but is also forgetful. He has completely forgotten the equally frightened look in Sang Xiaofang's eyes when she first saw him.
Dong Shiyi slammed his hand on the table. "Are you guys confirmed? I don't think I've seen your dating application!"
Military personnel are required to submit a report and write an application for dating. Most young officers join the military in their teens, so they lack social experience. To protect their future family relationships, the military requires their superiors to act like older brothers and help oversee the relationship. This is also a form of protection and responsibility for future military wives.
"Not yet. I haven't explained it to Xiaofang yet. I want to ask her what she thinks before I submit my proposal."
"Okay, remember to ask the female comrade's opinion tomorrow. If she doesn't want to, don't contact her in the future to avoid damaging her reputation!" Although it was necessary to seek the female comrade's opinion, Sang Xiaofang's expression was very obvious. In Dong Shiyi's opinion, this matter should be a foregone conclusion, and perhaps their army will be able to hold a wedding in the future.
After Liu Tutu happily left, Xiao Li walked into the office with a serious expression, "Come with me."
"What happened!" When Xiao Li was with him, his expression was rarely serious. Dong Shiyi hurriedly followed him out.
The place where the two men came to was a small house where the soldiers of the regiment were kept in solitary confinement. When Dong Shiyi arrived, the terms of the regiment commander, chief of staff, deputy political commissar, and leaders above the deputy regimental level had already expired.
A trembling Wang Dahai was standing in the corner of the door. Xiao Li kicked him and said, "Close the door quickly!"
The small confinement room was now full of people, and a female corpse was lying on the ground.
The female corpse was naked, her body had begun to rot, and it emitted a foul odor.
The regiment's only male military doctor, wearing gloves, squatted beside the woman's body and carefully examined her. Afterwards, he covered her with a military sheet. "The only stab wound on her body was her heart. The single blow killed her. The killer must be an experienced killer. As for the exact time of death, we can't determine it at this time."
Xiao Li and others expressed their understanding, saying that it was normal that he was just a military doctor, not a forensic doctor, and he could not tell the exact time.
Around 15 days after death, the body's soft tissues begin to decay, rot, break down, and digest. In summer, this takes about four days, while in winter, decay is much slower and may not occur at all in snow or ice.
Xiao Li and his friends were in the north, where the winter was quite cold. It would snow every few days after the twelfth month of the lunar calendar. The female corpse had been covered in ice and snow and remained relatively intact.
Dong Shiyi looked at the corpse in confusion. Xiao Li pointed at Wang Dahai who was standing beside him and said, "Come over here and tell me what happened."
"I...am I in the kitchen team now? Today it was Xiao Huang's and my turn to purchase ingredients. When I was about to leave, Xiao Huang suddenly had diarrhea for some reason, so I went by myself." Wang Dahai looked at Xiao Li with a resentful look on his face when he said that he was just a cook now.
"Hurry up and get down to business. Are you a woman if you keep dithering?" As Wang Xuemei's due date was getting closer, Xiao Li, who couldn't go back, became more and more irritable. He wanted to beat Wang Dahai up.
Wang Dahai shrank his neck. He was terrified of this Xiaotuan and could only continue, "On my way back, I had to pee urgently, so I went to the foot of Black Mountain to pee, and I saw a corpse."
Longgang Village is located in a mountainous area, surrounded by mountains of varying sizes. The mountains are covered with trees. The back mountain is behind Longgang Village, and there is a place called Black Mountain in front of the village.
Heishan is a legendary mountain. There are various rumors around it, such as it is a fairy mountain and it is haunted. There are also a lot of vegetation and weeds on Heishan. Because people now believe in ghost legends, Heishan is a forbidden place in the hearts of people around it, and no one will easily step into Heishan.
I think the murderer is familiar with this place and saw this and dumped the body in the wilderness.
Wang Dahai also accidentally stepped into the edge of the Black Mountain and saw the female corpse from a distance. If Wang Dahai had not stumbled upon it this time, I believe that as the weather gets hotter, the corpse will completely rot and turn into a pile of bones in a short time.
"You are quite brave!" You dared to carry a dead female corpse back by yourself.
"Hehe, I'm a party member, how could I believe those rumors about monsters and demons." Wang Dahai scratched his head embarrassedly, not daring to say that he was almost scared to death at that time.
Xiao Li held his forehead and said:...What a fool.
"I'm talking about this corpse. Did anyone see it when we came back?" It was a good thing someone had the idea to carry a corpse back to the army. This was the first time Xiao Li had seen such a cool move. He had to say that Wang Dahai was really stupid.
"No one saw it. I was very careful when I carried it back, and I didn't tell anyone! Commander, Political Commissar, take a good look at this female comrade." Wang Dahai ran over and parted the corpse's hair. "Look, doesn't this person look a lot like Sang Xiaofang?"
"It's true!" No one thought about it before they heard it, but after they heard it, they surrounded the corpse and carefully observed the bloodless and pale face. It really looked a bit like the person who often appeared at the army gate during this period.
No, they are very similar, with a similarity of over 80%.
Seeing how Sang Xiaofang came to the army to look for Liu Tutu every day, it didn't look like someone in her family was missing or dead.
As a result, everyone suddenly had a lot to think about.
The word "spy" appeared in everyone's mind at the same time.
Liu Shijun was silent for a long time before saying, "I heard that Sang Xiaofang is close to the commander of the first battalion in our regiment?"
"I just talked about this matter with the battalion commander of the first battalion, Liu Tutu, today. Battalion commander Liu said that he likes the girl Sang Xiaofang, and he will ask her tomorrow whether she is willing to establish a revolutionary friendship with him." Dong Shiyi was a little headache at this time. He had even thought of the worst outcome.
"Let's keep this a secret for now. Have Captain Liu prepare a report and submit the application in advance. You can go to Sangjia Village under the pretext of a political review to inquire about the details." Liu Shijun said seriously, "There's no need to inform Captain Liu in advance. No one is allowed to leak this information. Any leak will be dealt with according to military regulations."
The punishment according to military regulations is light. If the female corpse on the ground is really Sang Xiaofang, then once the matter leaks out, the person who leaks the news will face a military court.
And Liu Tutu became the one sacrificed by them.
"yes!"
When they go out again, there is no problem on everyone's face and their facial expression management is perfect.
Liu Tutu also received a notice asking him to prepare a relationship or marriage application and submit it in advance.
Liu Tutu was very happy to ask Xiao Li to write a dating application for her. She carefully wrote the three crooked words "Liu Tutu" at the end of the report.
"If you find out that Sang Xiaofang is fake in the end, what will happen to Liu Tutu?" Dong Shiyi is now the regiment political commissar and is only in charge of politics, but he has served as the battalion political commissar and has been in charge of political thoughts and life issues. When encountering life problems, he still can't help but take charge.
In Xiao Li's words, it's like a grown man with the heart of a mother.
"Liu Tutu used to be a very optimistic and positive person, but since his appearance was ruined, he has become introverted and less talkative. This time, he finally met someone he likes. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid it will leave a shadow in his heart when it comes to finding a partner in the future."
Xiao Li was also worried. Liu Tutu was like bait on a hook, waiting for the fish to bite. If Sang Xiaofang was fine, it would be fine. But if there was a problem, this bait would be the one that got hurt the most.
"I hope we are just being overthinking!"
"I hope..."
