In the patrol team's office, Xu Damao sat on a stool with a haggard look on his face.
Just one night had exhausted him both physically and mentally.
His hair was messy, his eye sockets were completely covered with dark circles, and the oil on his face was probably about two taels.
Since he was arrested, although no one has beaten him or scolded him, just being locked up like this is enough to make him nervous.
He knows better than anyone where those local specialties come from, and they cannot withstand scrutiny.
Although they were all sent by the commune, it doesn’t mean that they are clean.
He took advantage of his position as a projectionist and colluded with many commune captains. The local specialties he brought back were only a part of it, that is, he gave kickbacks to the commune captains.
So, generally, nothing can be found, but that is when no one wants to frame him. If you really investigate carefully, it is impossible to hide it. They are just ordinary people, so how can they have any advanced skills?
If anything were to be discovered, not only would he be in trouble, but none of the commune captains would be able to escape either.
"Fatty, you are targeting me for no reason. Don't let me get the chance, or you will suffer the consequences!" Xu Damao gritted his teeth and swore secretly.
At the same time, I was also glad that I didn't be too greedy and that I had taken care of some things for all parties.
There is still a chance to get out, at worst you'll lose something.
What he couldn't figure out was how he had offended Liu Haizhong.
At this time, a voice came from outside the door.
"Brother, I'll go in and take a look. It's not a big deal. Besides, this is a big deal and we can't delay it. You are just doing your duty. He is in the room and there is only this one exit. Are you afraid that he will run away?"
"Brother Qinghe?"
Xu Damao recognized the voice immediately and was deeply moved. He had been locked up for so long, and not only no one else, but even his wife hadn't come to see him.
The first person to come and see him was Li Qinghe. How could he not be moved?
However, endless anger followed.
"Bitch, I provided you with food and drink, but now something's wrong and I can't even see my shadow. Just wait and see how I'll deal with you when I get out!"
Just then, the door opened and Li Qinghe came in carrying a lunch box.
"Brother Damao, you must be hungry. I brought you some food. Eat some."
"Brother, let's not say anything. Among so many people, you are the only one who cares about me." Xu Damao expressed his sincere emotion.
The last time he entered the Security Department, it was Li Qinghe who came to see him. This time, it was Li Qinghe who came again. Although he was not a good person, he was indeed moved.
"Hey, don't be so formal. We are from the same compound and have such close relationships. It's only natural."
Li Qinghe opened his lunch box and looked back at the patrol members at the door. "Thank you, brothers. I have something to say to Brother Damao. Please excuse me."
As he spoke, he took out a bag of peonies and stuffed it into one of their pockets without leaving a trace.
Of course he wouldn't give it to Huazi. He didn't have many cigarettes of this grade himself, and the only way to get them was through Director Li. But Mudan was also pretty good, and many people were reluctant to smoke it.
The patrol team members didn't want to take it at first, but when they saw it was a peony, they immediately gave up the idea and put it in their pockets without making a sound.
"Okay, but not for too long. If the team leader blames us, we'll be scolded."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you brothers."
After they closed the door, Li Qinghe frowned and said, "Brother Damao, you don't know how to be careful. It's already this time and the situation is so tense. How dare you ask the commune for things?"
"That's not what I asked for. It was forced upon me by others because they saw how hard I worked." Xu Damao said with a bitter face, "I know that the current situation is tense. Even if I had the courage, I wouldn't dare to ask for it.
"They said they were local specialties and not worth much, but they insisted on letting me keep them. What can I do? I can't just throw them away."
Li Qinghe rolled his eyes silently and complained in his heart: I don’t believe you.
Given Xu Damao's character, it would be strange if he didn't take bribes.
In the drama, he had been assigned to work in a movie theater, and he took Banggeng as his apprentice. He asked him to show a movie and insisted on asking for benefits. If the money was not given, he would demand it back. In the end, he was fired together with Banggeng. And he still said that he didn't know how to ask for things?
Moreover, everyone is suffering these days and is living to feed themselves, so how could they have any surplus food to give away? You want everyone to force every grain of rice on you, right?
You’re dreaming!
However, he knew it all but didn't say anything. If he wanted to pretend, then let him do it. Li Qinghe pretended he didn't know and asked suspiciously, "Are you serious? So Second Master caught the wrong person?"
"Of course. I explained at that time that it was my fellow villagers who gave it to me, but no one listened. They insisted on arresting me. What could I do? I don't know how I offended him." Xu Damao said with an indignant look on his face.
Then, my stomach growled.
"Okay, stop complaining and eat first."
"Okay, I'm hungry too." Xu Damao didn't hesitate to take the lunch box and started eating.
I didn't have any food last night and rushed back overnight. The patrol team didn't provide any food in the morning, and Sun Xia didn't bring me any food. If Li Qinghe hadn't come, I don't know how long I would have been hungry.
While chewing, he did not forget to complain, "As the saying goes, husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately. I didn't expect that this saying is true."
"Brother Damao, what are you saying? My sister-in-law is still in the hospital. Even if I want to come, I can't."
Xu Damao froze for a moment, then his face changed. He immediately dropped his chopsticks, grabbed Li Qinghe's shoulders, and asked anxiously, "What happened? Why did you go to the hospital? How is the child?"
Well, no matter who the adults are, the first people to ask are the children.
