"Grandpa——"
Although Zhao Zhen's speed was slower than Liu Wu and the others, he was very close to Zhao Cai's house. He arrived ten seconds after Liu Wu and the others broke into Zhao Cai's house. He looked at an old man in the crowd and greeted him.
"Zhao Zhen." Zhao Zhengye looked at Zhao Zhen, who was running out of breath, with a look of surprise and shock.
"Comrade Zhao Zhengye, we are from the County Public Security Bureau. My name is Liu Wu. We are ordered by our superiors to help us maintain public order in Tuanjie Village." Liu Wu withdrew the gun in his hand to indicate the purpose of his presence, and at the same time showed his ID to Zhao Zhengye and the other elderly people.
"Is that why you broke in?"
The person who spoke was not Zhao Zhengye, but an old lady sitting by the stove. The old lady's white hair seemed to glow under the orange light.
"Zhao?"
Liu Wu recognized the person.
"Comrade from Public Security, what law has our Zhao family violated? What right do you have to break into our home?" Old Mrs. Zhao looked at Liu Wu with dissatisfaction and a condescending look.
A young man in his early twenties was standing behind the old lady.
Liu Wu had information about Zhao Cai's family and recognized at a glance that the young man standing behind the old lady was Zhao Jianan, the son of Zhao Cai's second son, Zhao Pingjun.
Because Zhao Cai's affairs had not been fully disclosed, Liu Wu could not produce a search warrant at this time. He rushed into Zhao's house in a hurry only because Wolf Cub and Chu Chu rushed in first. As a result, they were a step too late. When they rushed in, they did not even see the two little guys.
Liu Wu and several other police officers were anxious and had to deal with Zhao's family at the same time, and their expressions became increasingly serious.
"Ms. Zhao, this is a matter of public security secrets. You only have the right to cooperate, not the right to question." Liu Wu did not intend to save face for Mrs. Zhao. Anyway, this family would be arrested sooner or later.
"What are you talking about? Even if you are a police officer, you have to produce evidence of breaking into someone's home. Otherwise, we will go to your leaders to reason with them. Breaking into a private home without any reason, do you still have the law?"
The person who spoke this time was not Old Lady Zhao, but Zhao Zhengye.
"Grandpa!"
Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Zhengye in shock. He didn't expect his grandfather to say such words. Normally, his grandfather was very sensible and patriotic. If the police needed help, he would definitely stop and help at the first moment.
"Zhao Zhen, there are a bunch of adults here, how can a child like you have the right to talk? Go home quickly. It's already dark, why are you still running around outside? It's really getting more and more unbecoming."
Zhao Zhengye scolded Zhao Zhen with a serious face.
Zhao Zhen: …!!! His grandfather had never spoken to him in such a serious and accusatory tone before.
"Comrade Zhao Zhengye, Comrade Zhao Zhenxiao is also helping us. Don't blame him, he is still young."
When Liu Wu saw Zhao Zhengye blaming Zhao Zhen, he immediately felt a little sorry for the child and quickly helped explain.
"You know Zhao Zhen is still young, so why do you, as an adult, ask such a young child for help? It's really ridiculous. Go call your leader. I want to ask your leader how he leads you." Zhao Zhengye was relentless towards Liu Wu and several other police officers.
Zhao Zhen felt that his grandpa was acting particularly strange today. After being scolded repeatedly, he no longer dared to call him grandpa.
But his eyes kept searching around the house.
It was very strange that he didn't see Chu Chu and the wolf cub. He didn't know where these two guys were hiding, or were they hidden by someone in the house?
While Zhao Zhen was looking at the situation in the house, Liu Wu was also examining the Zhao family.
The living room of Zhao Cai's house is not small, and its decoration is somewhat different from that of ordinary people's houses. Most people's living rooms are both reception halls and kitchens in winter, but not Zhao Cai's.
Their living room is the living room.
There was not only a stove in the hall, but also a sofa. Sofas had gradually become popular in the 1970s, and families with a little wealth all pursued fashion, but Liu Wu and his family rarely saw families in the countryside with sofas.
After all, sofas are not very practical for the villagers.
It’s not as comfortable as a kang.
At this time, Liu Wu saw that the Zhao family's house was full of elderly people, some sitting on sofas and some sitting on stools. These old men and women looked at Liu Wu and his group with an indifferent and numb expression.
His eyes were fixed fixedly on the subject.
Liu Wu always felt that something was not right at the scene. Not to mention the way old lady Zhao looked at them, even the expressions of Zhao Zhengye and the group of old people in the room were not right.
"Liu Wu, go call your leader. I need to ask him how he disciplines you."
Zhao Zhengye saw Liu Wu looking at the Zhao family and quickly pushed him out.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Liu Wu nodded smartly and led people out. As for Chuchu and the wolf cub, he believed that with the wolf cub's intelligence, he would definitely be able to protect Chuchu.
“Uncle, Chu…”
Zhao Zhen, who followed Liu Wu out, couldn't help but remind him.
"It's okay. It's the same if we go out and wait for the leader to come." Liu Wu quickly stopped Zhao Zhen from speaking and winked at the child.
Although it was Zhao Zhen's first time meeting Liu Wu, he was smart enough to understand his meaning.
Shut up.
"Uncle Zhengye, Zhao Zhen rarely comes to my house. He's already so old, and it's rare for him to come home today. Let him stay and keep you company. When you're done with your work, you two can go home together, and he'll have company."
Just as Zhao Zhen and his friends were about to leave Zhao Cai's house, old lady Zhao's voice suddenly rang out.
Zhao Jianan, who had been standing behind Old Lady Zhao, also walked towards Zhao Zhen.
It seems that if Zhao Zhen doesn't stay, they will force him to stay.
The muscles between Zhao Zhengye's eyebrows twitched violently because of what Mrs. Zhao said. His eyes became deep, and he finally spoke in a heavy tone, "Zhao Zhen, you stay with me."
"Grandpa, mother called me to eat. I'll go home and tell mother and then come back to accompany you. Otherwise, mother will worry if she can't find anyone." Zhao Zhen also felt something was wrong at this time and found a reason to refuse to stay.
"Zhao Zhen, my family has cooked dinner, you can stay and eat with your grandfather."
At this time, Zhao Jianan was almost next to Zhao Zhen.
"Zhao Zhen, you stay with your grandfather. I'll go talk to your mother." Liu Wu's back was already covered with sweat. As a public security officer, he tried hard to control his facial expression and warned Zhao Zhen in a normal voice.
"Okay, uncle, you tell my mother that grandpa and I will be home soon." Zhao Zhen replied to Liu Wu.
"Don't worry, I will definitely convey it." Liu Wu reached out and touched Zhao Zhen's head before leading his men out of Zhao Cai's house.
As soon as they walked out of the door and reached the corner, all the police officers including Liu Wu stopped, and then their eyes met.
They were all police officers with a very high sensitivity, and everyone noticed that something was wrong with Zhao Cai's family.
"The Zhao family may be hiding a large number of prohibited items."
Liu Wu took a deep breath before saying this.
"You mean there was a bomb in Zhao Cai's house..." Public Security Officer Tang Xiangrong suddenly felt his scalp tingling.
"Not sure, but it's almost certain. Otherwise, Comrade Zhao Zhengye wouldn't treat us this way." Liu Wu turned around and squatted in a secluded place in Zhao's house, saying, "Comrade Tang Xiangrong, go find the director and tell him about the situation here."
"I'll be right there."
Tang Xiangrong knew the situation was critical and turned and ran without saying anything.
He was fast and caught up with the comrades who had turned back earlier.
At the bald man's house, Yuan Xiangyang searched carefully at the bottom of the well but did not find any tunnels or cellars. It was just a dry well, nothing special.
"There's nothing unusual down there." Yuan Xiangyang climbed up to the wellhead and explained the situation underground to Qin Qingman and Fang Lu who had been waiting.
Yuan Xiangyang went to check the well personally. Qin Qingman and Fang Lu both believed that with Yuan Xiangyang's strength, there would be no omissions, which means that there was really nothing abnormal in this dry well.
"Director, I asked the villagers, and they all said that Zhao Feipeng really has a mental problem. This house was left by Zhao Feipeng's ancestors. Zhao Feipeng's father saved many people in the village. Even if his family still had some assets, they did not confiscate Zhao Feipeng's house during the liberation."
Xiao Zou came to report to Fang Lu.
"Anything else?" Fang Lu asked Xiao Zou.
"This Zhao Feipeng doesn't recognize people when he's sick, but he recognizes people when he's not sick. Because he's mentally unstable, the village doesn't let him participate in labor to earn work points. Usually he stays at home and doesn't go out." Xiao Zou continued to report.
"It must be Zhao Cai who raised Zhao Feipeng!"
Qin Qingman guessed the reason.
In this era, everyone has to participate in labor. If you don’t work, you will have no food to feed yourself. Under such circumstances, Zhao Feipeng can still maintain his figure and strength, and he definitely has never been hungry.
If you have never been hungry, that means someone is feeding you.
Zhao Cai is the only one in Tuanjie Village who has this ability.
"Yes, Comrade Qin, the villagers all said that Zhao Cai felt sorry for Zhao Feipeng, and Zhao Feipeng's parents had saved many villagers in the past. Zhao Cai was kind-hearted, so he provided food to support Zhao Feipeng every month. The villagers also delivered some food to Zhao Feipeng's doorstep every day, which was considered a way to repay Zhao Feipeng's parents."
After Xiao Zou finished speaking, he continued to report more information.
"In fact, Zhao Feipeng's brain is not working well because of the incident of saving people, so the villagers tolerate him so much. But they are also worried that Zhao Feipeng will hurt the children in the village when his brain is not working well. Parents in every household scare their children not to play in front of Zhao Feipeng's house."
Qin Qingman pondered, "If Zhao Feipeng has mental problems, the noise of the children may indeed irritate his nerves. It is right to let the children avoid Zhao Feipeng."
She was from the future and knew that loud noises can be irritating.
But Qin Qingman absolutely didn't believe that Zhao Feipeng was not being used by Zhao Cai. There must be something else going on.
"Director, comrades, the militia has also been investigated. They usually follow Zhao He's orders. They know very little. So far, there is no useful information."
Xiao Zou frowned when he said this.
"By the way, Chief, two comrades, according to the militia, a militiaman named Gazi went out of the village to the county to find Zhao Cai and was going to report our arrival. I guess he was arrested by comrades outside." Xiao Zou reported the situation to the militia.
"Someone in the militia must know about Zhao Cai. Focus on interrogating Zhao Qiangsheng. He is Zhao He's nephew." Fang Lu gave an order to Xiao Zou.
"Director, we found out one thing. That is what happened yesterday after the three comrades Hong Weiguo entered the village. The village is very sensitive about the Zhao Cai family. Some villagers reported the situation to Zhao He, and Zhao He lured several comrades Hong Weiguo to Zhao Feipeng's house, arrested them, and then threw them into the dry well. As for why they arrested them, the militiamen didn't know. They just followed Zhao He's orders."
"Re-examination."
Fang Lu just didn't believe that the missing gold could not be identified.
"These militiamen are young and may not know what happened more than a decade ago. I think we should talk to the elders in the village and ask if there were any unusual situations more than a decade ago. That batch of gold was half a ton. Even if Zhao Cai was very secretive, it would be impossible to leave no trace. What we have to do now is to patiently search for evidence and find clues."
Qin Qingman reminded.
"Comrade Qin is right. Let's work harder today and track down more clues."
Fang Lu ordered Xiao Zou.
"Director, two comrades, since we have already controlled the village, why don't we just dig up Zhao Laosi's grave? If we dig the grave secretly, it will definitely not alarm the Zhao family in the village." Xiao Zou was a little puzzled.
Fang Lu looked at Qin Qingman.
Qin Qingman sighed in her heart, "We can only dig the graves when all the evidence is solid. Otherwise, what is the difference between us and the government before liberation? How can the people trust us?"
"Digging graves is not a trivial matter. Even if we can fill them back, the soil will be new and old. We are a country that protects the interests of the people. We cannot do things without first reporting. Serving the people is not just a slogan."
Yuan Xiangyang's expression was also very serious.
All three of them are considered leaders, and as leaders of various administrative departments, they do need to consider issues from the perspective of the people.
Little Zou sighed.
"Go and do your work." Fang Lu waved his hand and let Xiao Zou go to get busy.
"Director, Director, there is a situation." Just when Fang Lu was about to analyze the currently known information with Qin Qingman and Yuan Xiangyang, Tang Xiangrong rushed in with a nervous look.
"say."
Fang Lu looked at Tang Xiangrong sternly.
"Director, Comrade Qin, Comrade Yuan, something happened at Zhao Cai's home. We originally wanted to go to Zhao Zhen's home to invite Comrade Zhao Zhengye, but Comrade Zhao Zhengye was invited to Zhao Cai's home. We can only go to Zhao Cai's home..."
Tang Xiangrong knew the situation was critical and quickly reported the situation from beginning to end.
After hearing this, Fang Lu, Qin Qingman and Yuan Xiangyang all felt their scalps tingling.
"Xiangyang, you must lead the soldiers to evacuate the villagers immediately. You must ensure that every person leaves Tuanjie Village." Qin Qingman did not care that she had the lowest rank among the three and gave the order immediately.
If her guess was correct, Zhao Cai's family might have hidden a large amount of explosives.
Since Zhao Cai dared to embezzle and hide half a ton of gold from Fang Hongbo's family, he would definitely dare to do something even more shocking.
"I remember that a few years ago, a construction team in the neighboring county lost a huge amount of explosives. In order not to cause panic among the public, the news was only spread among the public security department. They have been investigating for the past few years, but have never found anything."
At this moment, not only did Fang Lu's scalp feel tingling, but his entire back was also covered with beads of sweat.
This happened five years ago. At that time, he had not yet become the director of the county public security bureau. He followed his master, the former director of the county public security bureau, to participate in the handling of this case. Because there were very few clues and it happened to be a sports event, everything became a mess.
The chaos was so severe that the batch of explosives has not been found yet.
If Zhao Cai had been the one who set the explosives in the first place, it might really be impossible to detect it.
Because Zhao Cai was the leader of the county revolutionary committee, who could have imagined that he could do such a thing.
"I will immediately notify the team to gather everyone outside the village." Beads of sweat also slid down Yuan Xiangyang's face.
They entered the village in a very high-profile manner today, and just shot and killed Zhao He. It is impossible not to alarm Zhao Cai's family. Perhaps everyone is already in danger of their lives.
"I just revealed the news that Zhao Cai was arrested." Fang Lu's face turned pale.
"Don't panic, calm down. The arrest of Zhao Cai is still sealed in this house. No one has left just now. Comrade Yuan Xiangyang, quickly evacuate the crowd. Comrade Fang Lu, follow me to Zhao Cai's home. We must stabilize the people in Zhao Cai's home."
Qin Qingman was the first to calm down.
She remembered more clearly that Chuchu also followed Liu Wu and the others to pick up Zhao Zhengye. Chuchu did not come back at this time, which meant that Chuchu also went to Zhao Cai's house.
"Comrade Qin, you will be in charge of the scene from now on, and I will cooperate with you."
Fang Lu knew that he did not have the ability to stabilize the crowd, so he directly handed over the command to Qin Qingman.
"Comrade Fang Lu, I won't be polite then. You should quickly gather all the police officers present and have them follow us." Qin Qingman naturally took over the command and gave the order.
"Yes." Fang Lu immediately accepted the order.
Yuan Xiangyang had already brought soldiers to explain the situation to the people who stayed in Zhao Feipeng's house, and then took a group of anxious villagers to go door to door to call on the people to leave the village.
When the villagers first heard that Zhao Cai's family had hidden a large amount of explosives, they thought it was a joke, but the expressions on the soldiers' faces told them it was true.
Absolutely true.
Without much time to think, out of trust in the soldiers, the villagers began to evacuate quickly and orderly.
At this time, Qin Qingman and Fang Lu and a group of police officers hurried to Zhao Cai's house.
On the way, Tang Xiangrong reported everything in detail again.
Qin Qingman heard that the wolf cub and Chuchu were the first to rush into Zhao Cai's house. When Liu Wu and others arrived and did not see the wolf cub and Chuchu, she looked thoughtful. Only she knew how big the difference was between wolf cubs and ordinary wolves.
"Comrade Qin, don't worry. Maybe Chuchu and the others have escaped from Zhao Cai's house."
Fang Lu could only comfort Qin Qingman in this way, but he also knew that this was absolutely impossible.
If Chuchu is really safe, she will definitely come to find Qin Qingman as soon as possible.
After hearing what Fang Lu said, Tang Xiangrong wanted to speak, but finally closed his mouth.
He was worried that Chuchu was captured by the Zhao family. As for the wolf cub, he might be hiding somewhere, or he might have gone to rescue Chuchu.
When Qin Qingman and others rushed to the door of Zhao Cai's house, Liu Wu and several other police officers had cold sweat on their foreheads. As police officers, they certainly knew about the case in the neighboring county where a large amount of explosives was lost a few years ago. When the incident was linked to the current situation in Zhao Cai's house, the connection was very obvious.
"Director, Comrade Qin."
Liu Wu was the first to see Qin Qingman and Fang Lu, and he rushed over immediately.
"We all know the details of the matter. You handled it very well. We will take care of the rest." Fang Lu stopped Liu Wu from speaking. He knew what Liu Wu was going to say.
When Liu Wu saw Fang Lu's heavy expression, he knew that Fang Lu had also guessed what was going on in Zhao Cai's family.
"Comrades, we may face death after entering the house. If you are the only son in the family, please follow the military personnel to evacuate immediately." Qin Qingman did not rush into Zhao Cai's house directly, but said these words softly before entering the house.
Whether in times of war or peace, the military and public security personnel suffer the greatest sacrifices.
Qin Qingman's words brought silence to the scene.
Except for Zhang Yong, the deputy captain of the Public Security Bureau who had previously gone to Nanzhen Commune to work, all the police officers brought from the county public security bureau followed Qin Qingman.
"Comrade Qin Qingman, we are police officers serving the people. You are not afraid of danger and sacrifice, so we are even less likely to retreat in battle. Please let us fight alongside you!" All the police officers whispered these simple words.
There are only police officers charging forward, but no police officers retreating.
