Chapter 283 Everyone is mortal since ancient times
Zhou Yi and Shi Tao pretended to be customers, while He Bin and several others wandered around, ready to surround and provide support at any time.
Shi Tao had seen the structure of the vegetable market. It had entrances and exits at only two ends, and it was surrounded by several layers of defense, making it difficult for him to escape even if he had wings.
However, Zhou Yi reminded Shi Tao that when selling cooked food, one has to be careful not to accidentally injure innocent people or take hostages if they have knives in hand.
Shi Tao nodded and said that if necessary, he would just pull out his gun to intimidate.
The two of them came to the stall. It was the night rush hour and many people who were getting off work passed by the market to buy vegetables.
There were two customers waiting in front of the cooked food stall, and there were two people inside the stall. A middle-aged fat man wearing an apron was cutting pig ears with a knife, and a skinny old man was helping him.
Zhou Yi and Shi Tao looked at each other, and Shi Tao nodded. Although the middle-aged man was indeed fat, he could not escape the eyes of the two criminal police officers.
The most important thing is that the middle finger of this middle-aged fat man's right hand is obviously missing half a knuckle.
With such clear and distinct features, there is no doubt that this person is the fugitive wanted criminal in the Luohe Gold Shop robbery case, Li Yong!
"What would you like to order?" the fat man asked after looking at the two of them.
"I heard that your braised pig's head is very delicious. Give me two pounds." Shi Tao said.
The fat man said nothing, cut a piece of pork head meat, picked up the scale and weighed it. "It's more than two catties and an ounce, so let's call it two catties."
"Okay, cut it for me."
The fat man picked up the pig's head, put it on the chopping board, and started cutting it.
The old man took out a bag and said with a smile, "Everyone says our pig head meat is delicious. Come back after you've eaten."
Shi Tao had been staring at the fat man's hand. Suddenly he frowned and said, "There's something dirty in your pig's head."
The fat man was stunned for a moment and answered instinctively: "No."
"I saw it all, right there, there." Shi Tao said, pointing his finger forward.
Zhou Yi knew that Shi Tao was about to take action, so he quietly moved his right hand back and touched the holster at his waist.
"I'll show you." Shi Tao said, and moved closer.
The fat man suddenly seemed to realize something, his eyes changed instantly, and he was about to raise the kitchen knife in his hand.
But Shi Tao was faster than him. The fingers that were originally poking at the pig's head suddenly turned into claws, grabbed the fat man's wrist holding the knife, and held it down tightly.
All this happened so suddenly that no one around could react.
Only Zhou Yi reacted immediately. He immediately pulled out his gun, pointed it at the fat man's head, and shouted, "Police! Don't move! Put down your weapon! You are under arrest, Li Yong!"
The black muzzle of a gun was pointed at his forehead. The fat man who had wanted to resist was suddenly dumbfounded, and the kitchen knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
The old man beside him finally reacted and shouted anxiously, "What the hell is going on? Da Zhuang, why did they arrest you?"
The vendors and customers around were suddenly in an uproar. He Bin, who was standing by, immediately took out his ID and loudly advised everyone not to be afraid, saying that the police were just performing their duties.
Amid the sirens of police cars, Li Yong was taken into the police car, and the old man, as a person related to the case, was also taken back.
Soon, the vegetable market returned to normal, as if nothing had happened, with only an empty cooked food stall and heated discussions with surrounding merchants about what had happened.
Since Zhou Yi had already agreed with Shi Tao that he would not be deeply involved in the case, and all the relevant information had been given to Shi Tao, he was no longer responsible for the subsequent interrogation after Li Yong was brought back to the Municipal Bureau.
However, he still remembered to call Lu Zhengfeng and tell him that Li Yong, who was wanted by you in Luohe, has been caught by us and is also involved in some cases here, so the Hongcheng side will try him first. As for how the two sides will divide the money later, he has no control over it because the case was solved by our second team.
Lu Zhengfeng was stunned when he heard this. "Luo He has been wanted for two years, and you in Hongcheng only needed two or three days to interrogate him?"
"Zhou Yi, why don't you transfer Luo He here?" Lu Zhengfeng said.
"Why?"
"With your level, you can just become our captain."
"Don't make fun of me, didn't I tell you that Li Yong was captured by Team Shi from our Second Battalion? I have nothing to do with it. I'm just here to let you know."
"Thank you very much. You guys in Hongcheng are really full of talented people. I will report this to the leadership right away."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi stretched, then got up and left work.
When he went out, he met Gu Changhai again and said hello. Gu Changhai asked him, "Aren't you going to participate in the interrogation?"
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "How can I have the nerve to interfere in your team's case?"
Gu Changhai understood instantly and nodded with a smile.
Zhou Yi went to his parents' house first, mainly to ask his father about the steel coil issue and to have a meal.
The good news is that my mother is willing to pay the advance payment for the steel coils.
The bad news is that before the money he paid in advance is returned, Zhou Jianguo's pockets will be cleaner than his face.
"Zhou Jianguo, I'm telling you, I'm willing to pay this ten thousand yuan, but it's not for you," said Zhang Qiuxia, who was adding more food to Zhou Yi's plate in the kitchen. "I'm paying for Jianye, you know? Jianye is capable, and as his wife, I trust him."
Zhou Yi was stunned: "Ten thousand? Mom doesn't need it..."
Before he could finish his words, his father covered his mouth with his hand. Zhou Jianguo's face was full of horror.
Zhou Yi understood instantly that his father was falsifying the accounts.
"What did you say just now?" Zhang Qiuxia asked, sticking her head out.
Zhou Jianguo, with his back to her, quickly let go of her hand and winked at his son.
Zhou Yi thought to himself, I can’t believe it. I never thought that a guy like my father with thick eyebrows and big eyes would do such a thing.
"No...nothing. I said I wanted to eat fried eggs. Mom, can you make me two?"
"Okay, it will be ready in a moment."
Zhou Yi pointed at his father with a wicked smile and said, "Dad, I didn't realize you were capable of this."
Zhou Jianguo lowered his voice and said, "Keep your voice down, don't let your mother hear."
Zhou Yi waved his hand, and Zhou Jianguo came over. "Dad, didn't you ever think about this when you were embezzling money?"
"What?"
"You've taken 10,000 yuan from Mom now. Don't you have to pay it back when the payout arrives? You can't keep the extra few hundred yuan you reported."
After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he got up and went to the bathroom.
Only Zhou Jianguo was left sitting there, looking stunned.
"That's it. Why didn't I think of this?"
Later, Zhou Jianguo told Zhou Yi that after the money was advanced to the factory, the factory director approved it and the warehouse would be able to ship the goods tomorrow.
Huang Xiaomao is also ready and will set off early tomorrow morning. Zhou Jianguo gave him Zhou Jianye's phone number and asked him to contact Zhou Jianye first after arriving there and follow his arrangements.
"Zhou Yi, your father has lived a life as plain as water for most of his life. Why is it that the experiences of the past two days have made me feel... like I've come back to life?"
Zhou Yi was eating. They had finished eating long ago, so he was the only one eating.
Before he could speak, Zhang Qiuxia, who was watching TV on the sofa, said, "Come on, he's alive. What's the matter? The person who lived with me for so many years is a dead person."
"Hey, why are you such a spoiler? I'm talking about a feeling. Do you understand?"
"I don't understand, but I know that if you can't get the money back, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."
Zhou Yi smiled and continued eating.
He felt very warm listening to his parents quarreling.
Because after my father passed away in the previous life, my mother was alone and spoke much less.
When talking to my son, I always inadvertently mention what your father was like in the past.
Everyone will die. How does the saying go? Everyone has died since ancient times, but one death is completely different from another.
This is why putting "having a large family with many children and grandchildren" and "dying peacefully at old age" together are good phrases, because these are probably the best endings many people can think of.
Zhou Yi told his parents that they were going out for dinner on Saturday night. When he heard that someone would come to pick them up and that the place to eat was at Hongcheng Baodi Villa District, Zhou Jianguo stood up excitedly.
"Son, you can't make any mistakes."
Zhou Yi was stunned: "Isn't it just a meal?"
"I see on TV that corruption only starts after associating with rich people."
"...Dad, you're like my mom. Watch less TV."
…
The next day, when Zhou Yi arrived at the bureau, he found a stack of copies of the transcripts on his desk.
When I picked it up, I found that it was the record of Li Yong's interrogation last night.
"This Shi Team is really nice."
Zhou Yi ran to the second team's office and saw that there was only one person there. Neither Shi Tao, Gu Changhai, nor He Bin was there.
Upon inquiry, they said that Shi Tao and Gu Changhai were interrogating Li Yong until late at night, so he had not arrived yet. He Bin had taken people to search for Wang Ronghai early in the morning.
Zhou Yi nodded. It seemed that Li Yong was not easy to deal with. He kept Shi Tao and the others busy until late at night.
However, He Bin brought people to arrest someone today, which means that the results of the interrogation should have been revealed.
Zhou Yi returned to the office of the Third Brigade, poured a glass of water, and began to read the transcript.
When the interrogation began, Li Yong tried to deny it, saying that his name was Liu Dazhuang and he was the old man's nephew, and he was not Li Yong at all.
But he was soon exposed by Shi Tao. Shi Tao asked him for his ID card, and he lied that he had lost it. He asked him to tell his ID card number, but he said he couldn't remember it. Finally, he asked him to tell his hometown address and immediately checked his household registration information in front of him. Only then did he fall silent.
Li Yong sighed and said he admitted defeat.
He soon recounted his experiences after escaping from Luo River.
He said that at first he wanted to run to other provinces because Luohe was closer to other provinces and it would be more convenient to run.
He had already bought a ticket to another province. Just before getting on the bus, he suddenly felt that the police would definitely think he was running out of the province.
In order to confuse the police, he not only did not get on the bus, but also turned around and bought a ticket to Hongcheng.
The reason he came to Hongcheng was because when he was young, he followed others to Hongcheng and spent some time there. It was the only city in the province he was familiar with.
He originally wanted to seek refuge with an old acquaintance, but when he arrived, he found out that his friend had been hacked to death in a fight ten years ago, and the grass on his grave was several meters high.
Helpless, he decided to leave. When he arrived at the station and was about to buy a ticket, he found a wanted poster for himself on the wall. He was so scared that his legs went weak and he pretended to be calm and left the station.
