Hearing the phone ringing, Xu Jianguo couldn't help but frown slightly, walked quickly to the sofa and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello, is this the home of Comrade Xu Jianguo from Longke Institute?"
A man's voice came from the receiver, sounding unfamiliar.
Xu Jianguo said: "I am Xu Jianguo, where are you from?"
"Hello, Comrade Xu Jianguo. This is the Forbidden City Security Office. Do you know someone named Li Delong?" said the man on the phone.
"I know him. He's a technician from my institute. What happened to him?"
"That's it..."
Afterwards, the police officer from the Public Security Bureau told me, Xu Jianguo, exactly what had happened tonight. After listening to it, he was a little amused and thought that Li Delong looked honest and was the most stable among the six people. He didn't expect that he was so ruthless. It turned out that you should not provoke honest people easily.
It turned out that Li Delong and his colleagues went to work at the research institute as usual today, but because Xu Jianguo had taken a leave, they had nothing to do. So, just like when they had nothing to do, each of them picked up a book and started studying technology.
It was not until the bell rang at the institute that the six people packed up their things, locked the door, and left Longke Institute and went home together.
Because when Xu Jianguo transferred several people from the 523rd to Jingzhou, he had already arranged accommodation for them and their families in advance. It was not far from the Longke Academy compound and no more than 800 meters away from the Forbidden City. It was an ordinary three-courtyard house.
Previously, in order to manufacture equipment for the special forces of the Security Bureau, several people including Xu Jianguo worked non-stop for three days. Even though they were given a day off yesterday, they were still unable to fully recover.
So after they got off work today and went home, they passed by a state-owned bathhouse at the entrance of the alley and made an appointment to go take a hot bath together after dinner in the evening, hoping to relieve their fatigue.
Around eight o'clock in the evening, the six people came out of the bathhouse after taking a bath and prepared to go home.
As a result, in a dim alley not far from the courtyard where they lived, they saw seven or eight young men stopping two young girls pushing bicycles.
At the beginning, Li Delong and his friends thought that they knew the two girls, so they didn't care much and just passed by the alley and left.
But they had not walked far when they heard a girl's scream coming from the alley.
Li Delong and his companions stopped immediately. The tacit understanding they had gained from working together for many years made them understand each other's meaning after exchanging glances, and they prepared to go back and take a look.
Unexpectedly, just after they walked back a few steps, they heard the crying and pleading of the girls and the lewd laughter of the young men coming from the alley. They immediately realized that the two girls must have encountered hooligans.
Instead of rushing over, the few of them put the bathing things in their hands against the wall, and then each of them picked up half a brick before walking into the alley.
When they reached the entrance of the alley and looked in the dim light of the streetlight in the distance, they could only vaguely see two bicycles lying on the side, and two girls lying on the ground, crying and begging, surrounded by seven or eight people.
Li Delong and the other six had been working with Xu Jianguo for quite some time. Not to mention how much skills they had learned, they had been staying in the military compound for many years, and had more or less picked up some of the military's blood.
"What are you doing?!" Li Delong put his hand holding the brick behind his back and shouted at those people.
Because all of them were focused on the two girls, they didn't notice Li Delong and the other six behind them. In addition, at eight o'clock in the evening these days, there were very few pedestrians on the streets of Jingzhou, so the sudden shout really scared them.
The oldest of these seven or eight people is twenty-one or twenty-two years old, and the youngest is probably only sixteen or seventeen. They are all workers at the Jingzhou Electron Tube Factory. Their parents are all cadres of various ranks in the factory. The highest-ranking official is the deputy factory director, and the youngest is a section chief.
Originally, based on their personalities, these guys should have been sent to receive re-education as middle- and lower-class poor peasants, but the adults in their families were reluctant to let their children suffer in the countryside, so they tried their best to arrange for them to work in factories.
However, because of the storm, these people had been hanging around outside for several years, and their hearts had long been wild. Even if they entered the factory, they would not work hard. Instead, they relied on the little power of their parents to act arrogantly in the factory.
Today is the day when the electron tube factory pays salaries. As the new year is approaching, these people are ready to find a place to have a meal after they have some money in their pockets.
It is said that alcohol makes cowards brave, but it is not true. Alcohol also makes evil people brave. After drinking a few ounces of Lianhuabai, these idiots almost blew the roof of the state-owned restaurant and almost claimed that Jingzhou was their own. They annoyed the other guests and managers who were dining in the state-owned restaurant. Finally, seeing that what they said was really too much, a group of chefs from the kitchen came out with ladles and kitchen knives and drove these people out of the restaurant.
Feeling offended, the few people were very dissatisfied, but they did not have the courage to challenge the chefs in the restaurant. They had no choice but to leave the state-owned restaurant cursing and prepared to cross the alley to one of the people's house to have a drink. As a result, they met two girls who had just finished their night shift and were going home together.
So the evil in the hearts of these people gradually began to escalate under the influence of alcohol, and finally they transferred the grievances they had just suffered in the state-owned restaurant to the two girls. They first blocked their way and teased them, and then started to touch them. Some of the nearby residents who were not asleep naturally heard the noise, but when they came out in the dark to take a look and found that there were seven or eight people on the other side, they all went back with the mentality of "it's better to mind your own business".
Later, something happened when Li Delong and his friends were passing by the alley after taking a shower.
