Chapter 88 The police

came to the door The police station of the commune came very quickly, and Geng Changqing and the head of the commune, Li Hongjun, also came with them.

After dinner, Su Mo watched from a distance in the yard. Many people went up the mountain with torches.

Because she wanted to hear some news, Su Mo did not hang the curtains and turn on the lamp tonight. Instead, she lit a kerosene lamp and sat on the kang to write articles.

However, until she went to bed, she did not hear any big movement.

The next day, Su Mo had just taken care of the vegetable garden when she saw Lu Qing'an and two police comrades, a man and a woman, walking towards her house. The female police officer wore a white uniform with a blue bottom, and the male comrade was dressed in blue.

"Old San's family, the police comrades have something to ask, just tell them what you know." Lu Qing'an said after approaching.

"Okay." Su Mo quickly welcomed the people into the house, took a cup, scooped some sugar into each cup, and made a cup of hot sugar water for the people.

"Comrade Gongan, what do you want to ask?" Su Mo was very cooperative.

In fact, the Gongan was just asking routine questions, because Su Mo could be said to be the last one to go down the mountain. The two policemen were also busy all night, and now they felt a little more comfortable after drinking a cup of hot sugar water.

"Comrade Su Mo, what did you do in the mountain yesterday afternoon?" The female police spoke first.

"I first collected firewood in the mountain yesterday afternoon, and then found Coptis chinensis. I dug it while looking for it, and dug it until the evening. Seeing that it was getting late, I hurried down the mountain." Su Mo said, "The Coptis chinensis I dug was drying on the bamboo basket under the eaves."

Hearing this, the male police went out to take a look. It looked like it was newly dug yesterday, and the amount was quite large. It was possible that they dug for an entire afternoon.

"Where did you dig?" the male police officer asked after he came in.

"I don't know what this place is called, but I can take you there."

Lu Qing'an then interjected, "Comrade police officer, my third daughter-in-law is from Haishi. She has only been in the brigade for two months, so she may not be able to name the place."

The male police officer waved his hand, "It's okay. Did you find anything unusual in the evening?"

"Abnormal? I heard gunshots, does that count? There were several. It was because I heard the gunshots that I looked at the time and realized it was getting late, otherwise I would have to continue digging." Su Mo said.

"Then you weren't afraid when you heard the gunshots?" the female police officer asked.

"Why are you scared? I thought it was the militia hunting, and I thought there might be some meat when I go back. My mother told me that in winter, the militia would go up the mountain to hunt." Su Mo's eyes flashed with clear stupidity. "

Thought? That means now you know it wasn't the militia hunting?" The female police officer felt that she had caught something.

"Yes. When I was going down the mountain, I ran into the militia. I asked them, but they didn't say it was, so it wasn't. Besides, didn't my father go to report the case? I saw my mother last night." Su Mo looked at the female police officer with an expression of "how can you be so stupid? "

The female police officer coughed awkwardly, and actually forgot about it.

"In addition to the gunshots, did you find anything else unusual? Did you hear any strange noises?" the female police officer continued to ask.

Su Mo thought for a moment and shook her head, "There are so many noises on this mountain. I don't know what a strange sound is. It doesn't seem to be anything unusual."

The two police officers saw that Su Mo didn't look like someone who could participate in such a scene. After asking a few more questions, they left.

Lu Qing'an led them to find the next person to question.

After the three left, Su Mo closed the door and went to Lu's house to inquire about the news.

Li Yue'e was taking care of her sparse vegetable plot at this time. When Su Mo arrived, she hurried over and asked in a low voice: "Mom, what happened? The police just came to question me."

The first and second wives had been curious for a long time, but they had never found a chance to ask. Now that the third wife had come, they hurried over and looked at Li Yue'e eagerly, which was quite harmonious.

Li Yue'e:...

"Don't spread it around." Before she spoke, Li Yue'e reminded, especially to Lu Guihua.

Lu Guihua nodded quickly.

"I heard that two spies came and encountered a group of wild boars in the mountains. They killed several wild boars." Li Yue'e said in a low voice.

"What about the spies?" Lu Guihua was a little nervous. What if the spies with guns came into the village and hurt people?

"They are dead. Two spies are dead. One had his intestines pushed out by a wild boar, and the other one stabbed himself in the heart when he fell down, and died."

"That's not bad." Liu Yuzhi patted her chest. Her children often went up the mountain to collect pig grass. If they met spies, it would be troublesome.

"Mom, are you sure it's just two spies? Could it be that one of them is still alive and hiding?" Lu Guihua asked soul-searching questions.

Li Yue'e was stunned. "How would I know? This is a matter for the public security. In short, during this period of time, tell the children not to go to the mountains, and don't go up the mountains yourself."

The other party was carrying guns, and they, the common people, could never outrun a gun.

The three of them nodded quickly.

After finding out the news, Su Mo went back. She didn't expect that the two people would be identified as spies.

The main reason was that the public security did not find anything on the two people that could prove their identity, not even a letter of introduction, and the guns they used were not the models commonly used in our country. Such people are generally identified as spies first.

Then report the situation to see if there are any troops or other units to claim them. If not, they are spies.

In the morning, people from the county public security bureau also came, with several cars, and a group of people went up the mountain again.

In the afternoon, the five wild boars on the mountain were also lifted down. The police took away three, and the remaining two were left to the Lujia Village Brigade.

Lu Baoguo quickly called for people to kill them, gave one to the commune cadres to take back, and the rest were divided among the members of the Lujia Village Brigade.

These wild boars were not small, all weighing three or four hundred kilograms. After killing them and removing the dirty parts, the brigade of more than a thousand people could get about four taels each.

Although Su Mo still had two big wild boars lying in the space, she still went to line up to receive them. The meat she was given was good, estimated to be half a kilogram, all fat and lean.

Su Mo fried it that night with heavy seasoning. People say wild boar has a strong smell, but maybe because she added enough seasoning, she thought it was not bad.

The spy incident caused quite a stir among the production teams around Bukai Mountain. Although people did not dare to discuss it openly, they exchanged the information they had heard in private.

The militias of several production brigades have spontaneously divided into several groups. During this period, they take turns to patrol the mountains. Even if there are spies who have escaped, they must be scared away. Otherwise, it is not safe for the members to go up the mountain to collect firewood or cut pig grass.

The militia is so active that Su Mo dare not go to the cowshed for the time being. She will wait until this period is over, so as not to be caught by the militia as a spy.

She hopes that after this failure, the other party will not send anyone again in a short time.

After she has understood the situation clearly, she will find a way to inform Su Tingde about what happened here. She can't make phone calls. Phone calls at this time are very easy to be eavesdropped.

She boldly guessed that the other party may have sent people to monitor them.
