They entered the city from the southern suburbs and happened to go to the courtyard in the south of the city first.
When they got nearby, Lian Xiaomin asked Lawrence Lu to wait for her while she went to a house in Ma Ye to get some important things.
Lu Guanjie found a place to wait for her, and Lian Xiaomin found No. 8 Hehuachi Hutong alone, quietly climbed into the courtyard, and came to the cellar in the backyard.
The cellar is not big, with a straight-line distance of about twenty meters.
She didn't even have to bother unlocking the door. She simply leaned closer and put the two large boxes of things inside into the space!
In fact, there are forty bags of rice stored in this cellar, totaling four thousand kilograms.
But Ma Ye didn't expect to get this little worthless food, so would he let Lian Xiaomin take it away? Where would he take it?
So I just didn’t mention it!
It can’t be wasted. Lian Xiaomin packed up forty bags of rice and took them all away. They don’t have to be returned to Ma Er.
She thought about it and decided to break the lock of the cellar before leaving, since it was empty inside anyway.
Otherwise, if one day, Ma Ye could come back here and the lock was not broken, how did he get the things inside?
After finishing this matter, Lian Xiaomin hurriedly carried her bag back to Lawrence Lu. The other party didn't know what she had taken and didn't ask any more questions.
The two of them got on their bikes and headed straight to Ding Yupeng's house according to the address.
It was almost dawn when we arrived at our destination.
Lian Xiaomin put on a mask and walked forward and patted the gate.
After waiting for a few minutes, someone came out. He was a middle-aged man about thirty-five years old.
"Who is it? It's the middle of the night."
"I'm looking for Ding Yupeng. It was the man named Ma who asked me to come."
The door opened immediately.
"That's me! Come in."
Lu Guanjie was waiting outside the door holding his bicycle, and he was keeping watch in the alley.
Lian Xiaomin walked in and could see clearly in the moonlight that Ding Yupeng was wearing a military coat, had a crew cut, and had a pair of bright eyes.
He led Lian Xiaomin into a room. It was an empty room, quite small, and there was no kang.
After closing the door, Ding Yupeng had already found a stump of candle and lit it with a match from the drawer.
"Girl, are you here for their brothers' business?"
He didn't mention the name, but they both understood each other tacitly.
"Yes, it was Ma Er who asked me to come to you. What's going on with his brother recently? Where is he being held? I just want to know these two things. Thank you for your help."
Ding Yupeng looked into Lian Xiaomin's eyes, nodded, and spoke softly.
"Tell Ma Er to run as far as he can and never come back. We are looking for him! To tell you the truth, my brother is in the police station, and his father-in-law is a leader."
"...I have inquired from the side. During this period, he...has suffered a lot. He has been interrogated day and night. Where did the supplies come from? Does he have accomplices in other places?"
"Ma Hui didn't explain any of this. They're all going to die anyway."
Lian Xiaomin's heart tightened, and she pressed him again, "Where exactly is he being held now? Exactly where?"
Ding Yupeng frowned and answered seriously, "He is in the hands of the police in Dongcheng. However, they have specially found a place for separate interrogation, in Jinding Hutong. I don't know the exact address, and I have never been there."
Lian Xiaomin asked again how to get to Jinding Hutong. After memorizing the information, she took out a bundle of big unity banknotes, which amounted to 1,000 yuan, from her bag and put them on the cabinet beside her.
"Brother Ding, I thank you on behalf of the Ma brothers. Take care!"
After saying that, he walked out.
Ding Yupeng didn't want to take the money and wanted to give it to her, but Lian Xiaomin waved her hand and left quickly.
After leaving the yard, he left this place with Lawrence Lu.
The two did not dare to return to the house in Dongzhimen. After all, the house was still registered under Ma Ye's name. Lian Xiaomin did not have a household registration, and the house had not yet been transferred to her name.
Lu Guanjie said, why not take the letter of introduction and stay in a guesthouse?
Lian Xiaomin shook her head.
"Let me take you somewhere."
They went to Nanluoguxiang, to Mr. Qian's home.
When we got there, it was almost one in the morning.
Lian Xiaomin knocked on the gate, and soon Xiao Si came out and opened the door.
"Miss Xiao Ma, it's you!" He quickly let the person into the yard.
Lin Zi said before that he was going abroad, and from now on, the eldest brother, Xiao Ma, would be in contact with them.
Lin Zi has done them a great favor. His boss is the boss of this group of people!
In fact, what they will never know is that Lin Zi and Xiao Ma are the same person, Lian Xiaomin.
Lian Xiaomin hadn't been here for two years. After entering, she whispered, "Can you guys vacate an empty room? The two of us are going to stay here for one night, do some work, and then leave."
Xiao Si quickly said, "That's fine. My two brothers already have their own houses and have moved out! One of these three rooms is still empty, it's ready!"
The two brothers he was referring to were Shunan and Shunxi.
When Lian Xiaomin came last time, Shunan had already moved out. The house was allocated by the company and was not far away.
This time she had been thinking of letting Xiao Si live in the same room with Mr. Qian so that she could have a room for herself. Unexpectedly, Shunxi also moved out, which was perfect for her.
Xiao Si led them to the empty house in the west and turned around to heat the kang.
At this time, Mr. Qian woke up and came over here. When he saw that it was Xiao Ma, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Mr. Qian, have you been doing well these past two years? I want to tell you something. I heard that they are cracking down on speculation and profiteering. You should take Shunan, Shunxi and Xiaosi with you and stop doing those black market things."
"...You don't need to help me collect the old things for the time being. Safety is the priority and we should live a down-to-earth life."
The four of them all have jobs now and are not short of money. After all, we have known each other for so long, and I hope they are safe and live a good life.
Mr. Qian understood and nodded.
Lian Xiaomin mentioned Gu Dazhuang, Xiaomao, Errong and others, who had also returned to the commune. However, she hadn't seen them for two years, so she didn't say much.
After Xiao Si finished lighting the fire, he went to the cellar and brought up four boxes of old items for Xiao Ma to look at.
Lian Xiaomin said that there was no need to check them one by one, just load them on a cart and put them in the yard first.
She looked at her watch. It was almost half past one.
"Brother Will, you just rest in this room. I'm going to go out for a while and check on the situation in Jinding Hutong. I will definitely be back before dawn."
She felt that this rescue mission was more troublesome than she had imagined.
Ma Hui must have suffered a lot and is in a very bad condition. How can we save him? We cannot hurt the police.
Therefore, after thinking about it, she decided that she couldn’t take Lawrence Lu with her, so she could rely on the space and act according to circumstances.
Lawrence Lu had already said that he would listen to her in everything, so he nodded and waited at Mr. Qian’s house.
Lian Xiaomin asked Qian Ye and Xiao Si to go and have a rest as well, and then she got on the cart in the yard and went out.
After leaving the yard and moving some distance away from here, she found a place to store the cart and four boxes of old items into the space.
Mr. Qian and his people have received a lot of these things in the past two years. It can be seen that they are working seriously for themselves.
She took out another bicycle from the space, rode it and hurried to Jinding Hutong.
