Chapter 11 She has to finish this job in one day, so she has to be supported
Everyone was happy, except An Xiuqing who was disappointed. Gu Liancheng was back, and Jiang Zhen no longer had to be a widow. Gu Liancheng came against the light with his back to the rising sun, with a clear halo around him. Why didn't I notice before that he was so tall, mighty, reliable and reassuring?
An Xiuqing felt so disappointed, but her belief became stronger and stronger: she must get Dr. Qi.
…
Gu Liancheng stood outside the house to comfort everyone who was terrified: "The suppression of the bandits went smoothly, and almost no one escaped during the encirclement. Everyone should go to work and live their lives as usual, and there is no need to worry too much."
The few fish that slip through the net are like frightened birds and cannot cause any waves.
What about Qi Junshan? Jiang Zhen could only wait and ask in private.
Fancheng had been plagued by serious banditry, which had harassed the common people for decades. When everyone heard Gu Liancheng's report, they cheered and said, "The day has finally dawned. Let's go. We must cut half a pound of meat to celebrate today."
Gu Jiaoxia was happy. The banditry had been eradicated. It was time for Gu Liancheng to go home. She asked hurriedly, "What do you say? How long will it take before you can go home?"
In fact, Gu Liancheng shouldn't have come back at this time. Saying that he was worried about his family and coming back alone was just an excuse.
He said, "Sister, we have to trouble you to look after our children for a while today. There are several injured bandits on the mountain. It is not convenient to send them to the hospital. We need Jiang Zhen and I to provide first aid."
"Is there no hospital in Fancheng that can transfer people? How can you let Jiang Zhen go? Are you deliberately ordering your family members around?" Gu Jiaoxia complained unhappily.
Jiang Zhen immediately understood. There were still some bandits who escaped after the fierce battle last night. Gu Liancheng wanted to join the post-war search work and came back to find her, probably because of her ability.
The time had come to make merit and increase his bargaining chips, Jiang Zhen was willing to cooperate: "Sister, it may not be convenient for outsiders, I am Liancheng's wife, it is appropriate for me to go."
Jiang Zhen's affectionate attitude towards Gu Liancheng made Gu Jiaoxia feel relieved: "Then you guys go quickly. Don't worry if you can't come back in the evening. I will take the children home."
…
Gu Liancheng drove the military vehicle back, and he seemed anxious. Jiang Zhen asked as soon as he got in the car: "Is Qi Junshan dead?"
"I'm sure I hit him, but I didn't find his body when we were cleaning up the battlefield." Gu Liancheng frowned.
That's bad. As long as Qi Junshan is alive, he will come back for revenge sooner or later. Jiang Zhen was about to complain, but turned around and was stopped by his solemn expression. He was more worried and upset than her at the moment.
Jiang Zhen reached out his hand and rubbed his brows: "Don't frown, it can still be remedied. Qi Junshan is injured, so he must seek help. Keep an eye on the few people he might be looking for, and you may be able to catch him."
Gu Liancheng thought he would be scolded, but Jiang Zhen reached out his hand and brushed away his uneasiness. Sometimes heartbeats appear suddenly. Gu Liancheng thought to himself, oh no, it’s only been a few days? Get down to business.
"We want you to go to the top of the mountain and feel around for bodies, to find out how many bandits have escaped, how many are not on the top of the mountain, and how many have colluded with the bandits down there. Those people will need to be monitored closely in the future."
"I understand." Jiang Zhen looked eager to work.
Gu Liancheng couldn't help but worry: "This time we wiped out more than a hundred bandits. How many days do you want to divide the workload into?"
Jiang Zhen was speechless for a while, and then he murmured to himself: "Can I finish it in one day?"
Gu Liancheng: ...Okay, she has to finish this work in one day, so we have to provide her with support.
…
Jiang Zhen was touching the corpse while talking. Two soldiers beside him took turns recording, including the names of the bandits killed and what others had said to him. Jiang Zhen only picked out the useful information. There was little useful information about ordinary bandits, but more information about important leaders.
"You can only touch the body once. You won't remember it the second time. Also, my memory is not very good. I will get confused and forget it. Please remember it clearly."
Jiang Zhen had said in advance that each corpse would be given a number and recorded according to the number. By noon, several groups of recorders had been replaced to organize the records. Jiang Zhen seemed fine on the surface, but Xiao Jianzhou was worried and asked Gu Liancheng to go over and ask about him.
After a while, Gu Liancheng came back with a strange expression: "She said she can continue, but she's hungry. Can she eat something while working?"
Xiao Jianzhou: ...There's no need to ask about her mental quality. The environment she came from was ten times worse than this. She's used to it.
"Let's get some sweet potatoes or something else smelly. I'm afraid my colleagues who are recording will vomit."
"yes!"
…
After touching more than a hundred corpses, Jiang Zhen was fine. She was just responsible for talking. Her mind was empty and she forgot about each one after she finished talking. She was busy for seven or eight hours, from early morning to dusk. Thank you for the hard work of several comrades who took turns to record and organize the information.
Jiang Zhen washed his hands with soap using the water from the kettle that Gu Liancheng poured. He washed his hands several times, smelled them himself, and then put his hand to Gu Liancheng's nose: "Ask, is there no dead body smell anymore?"
She put on medical gloves and washed them several times, but she could smell nothing except the scent of soap.
"No, it smells good."
Jiang Zhen smelled it again and touched more than a hundred bandits and bad guys. She felt very disgusted, but she still gained something. She knew where Qi Junshan was.
"He has a lover down the mountain. His family doesn't dare to look for him. He may go back to look for his lover."
"Female?"
"yes."
"Isn't he capable of that?"
Jiang Zhen looked at Gu Liancheng: "Is spiritual support not enough?"
"Okay." Gu Liancheng asked for the address: "I will go and catch him myself. We can't let him escape this time. Can I find someone to take you back?"
Jiang Zhen hesitated for a moment, and Gu Liancheng saw through it: "Tell me what you are worried about."
"I think Qi Junshan is at the end of his rope and will fight to the death. There is a high possibility that he will be killed on the spot. But there are still people in the Qi family, including children. If you arrest him, won't you be hated? It is better to let the police or those unfamiliar soldiers arrest Qi Junshan. They are more suitable than you. You can go and catch other fish that have escaped the net."
The relationship between the two families was not good to begin with, and Ji Fengmei and Gu Liancheng's elder sister were like water and fire. If Gu Liancheng was caught by Qi Junshan, Ji Fengmei would go crazy.
Gu Liancheng thought it made sense, so he sent Jiang Zhen to the foot of the mountain, where there was a car to take her home.
"Jiang Zhen, don't you even ask me when I'll be back?"
Jiang Zhen smiled and said, "Just come back before the allowance is paid next month. It's okay if you can't come back. Find someone to bring the household expenses to me."
Gu Liancheng: ... "It won't take that long."
…
Jiang Zhen touched the corpse and took its confession, and compiled more than a hundred files according to the numbers. Many people were involved, but most of them were fine. Those who assisted the bandits would be under close surveillance.
Xiao Jianzhou was holding a thick stack of files, his heart was shocked. What a practical and terrifying ability. If Jiang Zhen ran away, even abroad, it would be a huge loss.
With these files, none of those who have escaped will be able to escape.
…
Before it got dark, Jiang Zhen went to Sister Gu Liancheng's house, preparing to take the children back after dinner. The scene on the mountain was indescribable. After just a few words, they couldn't stand it anymore. Jiang Zhen realized that her behavior that day was actually abnormal.
However, Gu Liancheng's brother-in-law didn't say anything, and even sent her some washed sweet potatoes at noon. At that time, she was still thinking that it was such a tiring job, and she had to have at least one steamed bun, not to mention steamed buns. He was afraid that she would vomit after working for such a long time.
Seeing that sweet potato and millet porridge was cooked at Gu Liancheng's elder sister's home, Jiang Zhen thought that the rice he had eaten before was the rations of his sister and brother-in-law, and he felt really guilty.
"Sister, I'm sorry."
Gu Jiaoxia was startled: "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Gu Liancheng?" Did you fight to the point that you don't want to continue?
Jiang Zhen said hurriedly: "No, I will accept whatever you send. I didn't expect that you and your brother-in-law would only eat these at home. Don't send us any more in the future."
Gu Jiaoxia laughed and scolded: "You scared me, I don't care, okay, if there are any extra ones, I will send them to you."
…
When dinner was almost over, a neighbor came upstairs and said, "Jiaoxia, Qi Junshan is dead."
"Dead? How did he die?" Gu Jiaoxia quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks and pulled her neighbor outside to talk.
Jiang Zhen was happy in her heart. Qi Junshan was finally dead. She had to find a way to touch the corpse to find out who hired the killer to kill Jiang Tang and Jiang Zhao's mother.
The neighbor whispered, "I heard that he went crazy and died on the widow. Tell me, after all the artillery fire to suppress the bandits last night, he left his new wife behind and went after the widow. He deserves it."
Gu Jiaoxia said bitterly, "It's what he deserved. Luckily he died of madness in someone else's home. He can't blame our family if he wants to."
Ginger candy has pointed ears, and the child doesn't understand: "Mom, what does it mean to be crazy immediately?"
Jiang Zhen didn't understand, but the sentence at the end about dying on a woman's body probably meant that he died during sexual intercourse. The Qi family definitely couldn't accept this reason. Qi Junshan probably wouldn't tell anyone about his inhumane behavior, so the Qi family could only endure it.
Jiang Zhen said: "I don't understand, but it's not a good thing, forget it."
Jiang Tang nodded obediently, and Gu Pan ate her rice with big mouthfuls: "Aunt, we're done eating, let's go home." She couldn't wait to go to the space to see how the seeds were.
…
When he got home, the neighbors were quiet. They probably went to identify the bodies. Jiang Zhen closed the courtyard gate, locked the main door, and took the four children to the space. Only one day later, he didn't expect that some seeds had already broken through the soil. The two petals looked like soaked soybeans. In a few days, this piece of land would be covered with green sprouts.
"Mom, is it because we are in space that we sprouted so quickly? Why are the two little chicks gone?" Jiang Zhao asked.
Jiang Zhen said: "Living things will not be affected, which is good. Otherwise, if they stay in the space for too long, they will age."
Children don’t have such worries: “We want to grow up quickly.”
"Wait." Jiang Zhen said, "Go out and sleep first."
…
At night, the neighbors came back and made a noise. The noise was so loud that Jiang Zhen could hear it clearly. Qi Junshan was gone, and the conclusion he came to was that he was going crazy. The Qi family was in a state of bitterness. Ji Fengmei didn't want An Xiuqing to be a widow: "Go home and marry someone else!"
An Xiuqing was waiting for Qi Junshan to die, so how could she leave? "Mom, you're going to chase me away before Qi Junshan is buried?"
Qi Junhai couldn't bear it: "Mom, at least let big brother be buried first."
Jiang Zhen sent the four children to the space to avoid being harmed by the shouting and scolding from next door.
Early in the morning, she took the children to the hospital to find Gu Jiaoxia. While Gu Jiaoxia took the four children to the cafeteria to buy breakfast, Jiang Zhen ran to the morgue. As expected, there, she met Gu Liancheng who was waiting for her.
Jiang Zhen smiled: "I guess you can guess, and I can guess that you will wait for me here, we are really in sync."
Gu Liancheng originally wanted to go home, but then she thought that being Jiang Zhen’s teammate required some tacit understanding. Once Qi Junshan died, she would definitely come to touch the body to see who hired the murderer. Sure enough, she was waiting at the door of the morgue.
Gu Liancheng said: "The crowd has cleared out now, let's hurry up."
