Chapter 102: Do your job well
There were two dark figures standing in front of her. She was so nervous that she didn't notice them at all. When they got close, she was so scared that her heart broke. She clenched her fists and stepped back involuntarily. Then she heard Lu Dongping's voice: "Comrade Deng Hongjuan, where are you going in the middle of the night?"
Deng Hongjuan's heart was about to jump out of her throat. She was speechless and couldn't say anything. After a long standoff, when Lu Dongping lost his patience, she suddenly bent her legs and knelt down. "Secretary Lu, please help me, please help me, I didn't mean to do that, I didn't mean to do that!"
Lu Dongping stood there motionless, gnashing his teeth. Help? How could he help? You reap what you sow. There's always something hateful about a pitiful person.

After the rooster crowed three times, there was movement in the house. Wen Wan fumbled around the pillow for a long time before finding the flashlight. She turned it on and glanced at her watch. It was almost five o'clock. Lu Chun'e next to her also felt better and asked, "Sister, is it time to get up?"
Wen Wan uttered a "hmm" with a hopeless look on her face, rubbed her eyes and yawned as she crawled out of the quilt with difficulty. She went outside to wash her face before she finally woke up completely.
The busy holiday is over and classes are about to start today. She, Lu Chun'e and Lu Donglin don't have to go to work anymore, but they get up earlier than those who have to work. After washing up, they each carry their own pockets and go out.
After leaving the yard and walking down the path, a short distance away, you'll find the ditch where Zhou Shazi died. Lu Donglin rushed over like nothing had happened, but Wen Wan, on the other hand, felt a chill run down her spine as she passed by. Perhaps it was due to some hidden evil in her heart, she thought.
After they had walked past the place and were far away, Lu Donglin sighed softly and asked Wen Wan as he walked: "Sister, do you think there is anything wrong with Deng Hongjuan and Zhang Yun? When will my brother and the others catch them?"
Wen Wan shook her head, "I don't know either." She glanced at the educated youth center from a distance. Although she and Deng Hongjuan didn't get along, she didn't think she had any reason to kill that fool. She was a bit aggressive, but not so ruthless.
After a half-month holiday, all the students in the school had gotten tanned at home. The worst thing was that few people could finish the homework assigned before the holiday. There were a few exercise books scattered on the podium. Wen Wan let out a sigh of relief when she saw it.
After the morning reading class, she returned to the office with the few homework books she had collected. Wang Xiannian was also in the office, holding a teacup in his hand. She greeted him, "Principal Wang."
Wang Xiannian smiled and nodded, his eyes falling on the notebook she was holding. He asked, "Have you handed in all the homework you've completed?"
Wen Wan nodded. "I took a quick look, and all the homework that was handed in was completed. Actually, there wasn't much homework assigned. I just wrote a rope every two days. I learned math this semester, and I selectively copied the questions in the book. Two days is enough to concentrate."
Wang Xiannian said: "It's normal. Not to mention that there is endless work to do during the busy holidays, even during the winter and summer vacations, there are a large number of students who cannot complete their homework. The best situation may be in grades one and two. For every child sent to school, the adults want the children to recognize a few words and be able to do some calculations. By the time they reach grade three, they are generally older and have more work to do at home, and the adults will care less about them." For many children, their studies end at grade five and it is time for them to go back to the fields to earn work points.
Wen Wan shook her head, sat down and began to check the homework carefully.
Before she could finish reading, Wang Hongmei came over, leaned over the table, and asked in a low voice, "Teacher Wen, I heard someone died on your team?"
Wen Wan paused for a moment and looked up at her: "Who told you that?"
"A lot of people are saying that he was murdered. Is that true? There's such a scary person in our area who kills people!"
Wen Wan: "I'm not too sure about this. It's probably a rumor! A man died a few days ago. He was not mentally normal. It was said that he fell from a ridge and died. I'm not very clear about the details. I'm almost exhausted from work. How could I have the energy to care about those things?" The news spread very quickly and reached Wang Jialiang so quickly.
However, think about it, there is no one who doesn't know about Lujiazui now. Not only does the team have relatives and friends with other teams, but there are also many children in the school. Children can't keep secrets, so if there is anything, they will say it out loud.
I don’t know if Lu Dongping has any results. This news might spread not only to Xihe Brigade, but also to the entire Ganling Commune.
Lu Dongping didn't sleep all night and is now at the county public security bureau.
Deng Hongjuan confessed everything she needed to, but it was somewhat different from the actual situation.
For example, she said that the man could speak, but Lu Dongping didn't remember whether Zhou Shazi could speak or not. Anyway, he had never seen him speak. He just laughed when he saw people, and cried loudly when he was beaten.
Deng Hongjuan said the man was full of foul language, had touched her, and intended to violate her, which made Lu Dongping feel even more unbelievable. He felt that Deng Hongjuan was not talking about Zhou Shazi at all. What kind of person was Zhou Shazi? He couldn't imagine that he would take advantage of a lesbian and try to molest her.
Deng Hongjuan also said that she was too scared when she was struggling, so she picked up a stone and hit him. She hit him very hard, but it was just one hit, and she took the opportunity to break free and run away.
But the body of Zhou Shazi they saw had his head smashed into a bloody mess, which was definitely not caused by just one or two hits.
It seems that the murderer has been found, but upon closer inspection, there are still many doubts.
Did Deng Hongjuan lie?
When he thought about it carefully, he realized that Deng Hongjuan had no reason to lie.
After telling Lin Chenghai his ideas, he knew that the rest of the matter would have to be negotiated between Lin Chenghai, the Minister of Armed Forces, and the people from the County Public Security Bureau, and then he could go back.
At the educated youth center, several educated youths found Deng Hongjuan missing when they woke up in the morning. Huang Wancheng sighed: "Why is she gone? Did she run away? It really is. Is there really something wrong with her?"
"Should we go find the captain and report it to him?"
"You want it? Even if they are educated youth who came here together and live under the same roof, you can't protect or condone them."
As they clamored, they turned their attention to Xu Wenfang and Zhang Yun: "You live together, do you know when she disappeared?"
Xu Wenfang glanced at Li Hongtao who asked this question and said, "You ask me who? I'm exhausted from working all day, who doesn't want to sleep at night? Who has nothing to do but stare at her all day?"
Zhang Yun also nodded: "She was so sleepy at night, I wonder when she woke up."
It was indeed the case, and there was no need to say more. Li Hongtao and several other male educated youth went to the warehouse indignantly. As soon as Lu Minghai appeared, they started shouting, "Captain, Deng Hongjuan is missing."
Lu Minghai was stunned for a moment: "Does anyone know where she went? Let's split up and look for her!"
Wang Mingfang said, "What are you looking for? Maybe she was the one who killed that idiot from the Zhou family, and she was scared and ran away in the middle of the night. Where can we find her now?"
Lu Minghai scolded him, "What nonsense are you talking about so early in the morning? Stop talking nonsense when you have no evidence. Look for it, search nearby and shout. If you can't find it, then you can say you don't have it."
He shouted, and the members of the team and the educated youth at the educated youth point gradually dispersed and went looking for people while walking and shouting.
Xu Qingming didn't move. Lu Minghai glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Xu Qingming said, "I won't join in the fun. I'm going to the fields first."
"Hey!" What's going on?
Lu Minghai followed with his hands behind his back: "They're already looking for someone, why don't you go? You can take this opportunity to slack off for a while, why don't you go?"
Xu Qingming glanced back at him and smiled: "You are the production team leader. Wouldn't it be bad to teach the members to be lazy so directly?"
Lu Minghai snorted twice: "Don't tell me those things that are true or not. Do you know where Deng Hongjuan went?"
"How should I know where she's going? I went out to relieve myself in the middle of the night and saw her leaving. She was walking along the main road towards the commune. She must have either boarded the train or gone to the armed forces for tea. Why would she be looking for her in the team?"
Lu Minghai was so angry: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Xu Qingming was stunned for a moment: "I thought you knew that asking everyone to go out and look for him was just for show?" Lu Dongping, he is not your nephew, so he must have some inside information, right?
"What the hell are you doing? Don't you want to work? There's still a large area of rice paddy field that hasn't been worked yet!" He looks like a smart young man, how come he has become such a fool?
People from above came to investigate yesterday, and Deng Hongjuan disappeared today. It is hard to say whether she left on her own or was taken away. Whether it is the former or the latter, it only means one thing: Deng Hongjuan is related to Zhou Shazi's death.
Deng Hongjuan is no longer with us, but there are still some older educated youth working at the educated youth site. For a while, the members who were working there couldn't help but draw a line between themselves and the educated youth.
Isolated!
Xu Qingming didn't care. Anyway, apart from Lu Minghai, Lu Mingjiang and the others, as well as the team's accountant and cashier, he rarely dealt with other people.
In the afternoon, Lu Dongping returned from the commune and went straight to the fields to look for Lu Minghai. The two squatted on the edge of the field, and Lu Dongping told Lu Minghai everything he knew in detail: "Uncle, I always feel like something is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
Lu Dongping said, "If Deng Hongjuan isn't lying, then there's clearly something fishy about that idiot from the Zhou family. He's not what we usually think he is. Do Zhou Mingqing and Zhou Minghong know about this? Also, when Deng Hongjuan was being assaulted by that idiot, she threw a stone at him in self-defense. But you saw it at the time. How could a stone have been used to smash the body? I'm wondering if there was someone else involved besides Deng Hongjuan?"
Lu Minghai took a long time to say, "Have you told Minister Lin about this?"
"Yes."
Lu Minghai sighed and said, "That's all I have to say. Since the people have been taken away by the county, it has nothing to do with you. Just do your job well. After planting the rice seedlings, we have to repair the house. Hurry up. Will you be there when we have enough mud?"
