Chapter 78: Arresting People Quietly
The next day, Lu Xiang and Fu Qinhui investigated together. Lu Xiang went to see Officer Chen, while Fu Qinhui worked alone.
At noon, Lu Xiang felt relieved and went to meet Fu Qinhui at a clean little noodle restaurant.
Lu Xiang said, "There are a lot more Roman watches on the market recently!" Once these goods are circulated, watches that originally cost more than 200 yuan each can now be bought in parallel for only 70 or 80 yuan, half the price and even with a price tag.
The supply and marketing cooperatives and the three stores can no longer sell their products. To put it more seriously, this is called digging into the corners of socialism.
The police are investigating strictly!
Fu Qinhui said, "I think I found his base. It's at No. 48 Lijia Hutong."
Fu Qinhui was in the hospital with Lin Xin that day, and the note that fell out of his pocket was this address.
He pretended to be a house-hunter and went to No. 48 to ask the neighbors around him.
The neighbor was very enthusiastic and said that No. 48 had been rented out five days ago. He then pulled Fu Qinhui aside to gossip for a while.
These neighbors are usually sharp-eyed. They knew that Lin Xin was not a good person just by seeing the scar on his face. Now that they saw that the well-mannered Fu Qinhui also wanted to rent a house, they regretted renting out the house so early.
Fu Qinhui asked a few simple questions, and the information matched Lin Xin's.
After listening to what he said, Lu Xiang was surprised and delighted to have such a gain. It would be a major breakthrough if she could find his lair and whereabouts.
Lu Xiang said, "Officer Chen also said that if someone like this is caught, he'll get a 20-year prison sentence!"
Fu Qinhui said, "I was in too much of a hurry just now. I'll go in and take a look later!" He went in when there was no one around.
Lu Xiang refused immediately, saying, "No, that's too dangerous. What if there's someone inside?"
Fu Qinhui said: "I'll be more careful."
Lu Xiang still refused: "You said Lu Zhaodi and Lin Xin have such a good relationship, will they be together?"
Fu Qinhui said, "Probably not." He had tested Lin Xin before, and the other party's reaction couldn't be faked.
Lu Xiang wanted to stop him again.
Fu Qinhui raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Do you care about me?"
Lu Xiang said, "Then I don't care." After thinking for a moment, she added, "Be careful."
Fu Qinhui said: "I know."
The two of them ate a quick bite of noodles. Lu Xiang went with him to the Lijia Hutong area to help him keep watch. They agreed that if someone else came, Lu Xiang would hold them back first.
Fu Qinhui looked for an opportunity to come out again.
Fu Qinhui was very careful not to make any noise along the way. As expected of a child who grew up in the countryside, climbing over walls was a natural skill for him.
This time it went smoothly and I didn't meet anyone. Fu Qinhui came out after a while.
When Lu Xiang saw people coming out, her heart was still pounding. It was the first time she did such an exciting and dangerous thing.
When we left the county town and walked towards the village, he asked, "How is it? Is there anything?"
Fu Qinhui said, "That's enough to sentence him to death." They say wealth and honor are sought through risk, and he was incredibly daring. The Roman watch alone was worth over eighty yuan, and there were also various cassettes and contraband videotapes. The total amount was staggering.
Lu Xiang said, "Let's see what he will do this time."
Fu Qinhui said: "There's no need to investigate this matter any further, lest you bring disaster upon yourself."
Lin Xin has his own upline and downline in this business, all of whom are local tyrants. Pulling out the radish brings mud with it, and if the investigation goes deeper, there will be danger.
He had another way to let his superiors know without having to show up. This would keep them both safe.
It just takes some time to arrange.
Lu Xiang nodded solemnly.
Ten days passed in a flash, and Lin Xin's wounds were almost healed, and the stitches on his hands were removed. Although it wasn't completely healed, he couldn't wait any longer!
After leaving the Lu family's old house, I went straight to the Fu family.
The village chief asked the elders in the village to keep an eye on him, knowing that Lin Xin was a dangerous person, and to call for help if he made any move.
The villagers listened to what the village chief said, and soon everyone in the village knew about it.
The three brothers and their three sisters-in-law put down their hoes and rushed to the fields. The fourth brother worked in the county and couldn't let anyone bully Lu Xiang.
As they walked back, many people in the village followed them, fearing that the two sides would quarrel and cause trouble.
As soon as they got home, they saw Lin Xin stop and kick the gate of the Fu family's yard again and again.
Brother Fu immediately pulled him away and asked, "What are you doing?"
Lin Xin said, "I'm here to settle accounts with Lu Xiang. This has nothing to do with you. Hand Lu Xiang over to me, and I won't make things difficult for you."
Second Brother Fu was not a good speaker. He stood beside the eldest brother, staring at Lin Xin with a fierce look, threatening to break his arm if he dared to move.
Third Brother Fu said, "This is the Fu family, not a place for you to act wildly."
Lin Xin, a man who fears no death in battle, laughed strangely at this moment, and then said, "We're quite united, huh? What's the matter? If Lu Xiang doesn't want to follow me, then don't let her catch my eye! What's the point of you all stopping her one by one? Oh, you let your sister-in-law seduce a man, and you're just setting her free? I've seen a lot of people like that."
Mrs. Fu San said, "Bullshit." She said those words, what did she think of their family?
Compared to Lin Xin, the little hooligans in their village were nothing. He was a serious scoundrel. Now he was not afraid of them when he saw them!
Lin Xin stretched his neck out like a turtle and said, "Come on, hit me here. If you dare, beat me to death. I'm a dead man, I'm not afraid of you."
Lin Xin had just recovered from a serious illness, and with his vitals injured, his behavior became even more frantic. He couldn't be beaten, and he couldn't be scolded.
At this time, someone in the crowd said, "Are the police here?"
The village party secretary roared, "Who called the police?"
Aunt Lu said, "I reported it. Why are you allowed to report it but we are not allowed to? Lu Xiang attempted murder." She followed suit and pressed the button on Lu Xiang.
The police came as soon as they received the alarm. She was so happy.
The Fu family didn't know the truth and actually thought the police were coming to arrest Lu Xiang, so they quickly explained to the police officer.
Unexpectedly, the police officer didn't listen to him at all. After finding out who Lin Xin was, he handcuffed him.
The smile on Aunt Lu's face froze immediately: "Officer, you have arrested the wrong person. I told you to arrest Lu Xiang. She stabbed my brother's hand with a knife."
The police officer said, "There's no doubt he's Lin Xin. He's suspected of smuggling. We need to bring him to the station for investigation."
When Lin Xin heard this, he shuddered at the accusation, even though he was fearless just now.
Lin Xin glared at Aunt Lu and told her to call the police! What a sick person! He couldn't even hide from the police. So self-righteous!
The police took the man away. Aunt Lu tried to stop her and started throwing a tantrum again, but the police didn't give her any slack and said, "If you keep making trouble, I'll take you away too."
The aunt didn't dare to say a word.
Everyone present looked at each other in surprise. Lin Xin was taken away without Lu Xiang even showing her face. It was a great relief to everyone.
