Chapter 29 Qin Zongwu reports the case
The salesperson understood Xu Lin's strange practice of buying cloth by the meter while others bought it by the meter, but since she had to make so many things, she couldn't buy it by the meter.
Besides, it’s very cold in Northeast China, and 30 kilograms of cotton may not be enough.
But it is February now, and we still have more than half a year to prepare supplies for the winter.
Just prepare another wave before the weather gets cold, and everything will be basically stable.
The salesperson did not persuade Xu Lin to buy anything else, but Xu Lin's voice was quite loud and attracted the attention of others.
I couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Seeing that Xu Lin was a thin little girl, I couldn't help but show a look of sympathy.
The Northeast is a very cold place. Can such a thin girl bear it?
But sympathy is sympathy, and the world is like this, and they can't say or do much.
After buying the cloth and cotton, Xu Lin went to buy a kettle and other items.
Even though she had the supplies in her space, she still had to buy some in public to show off her wealth, otherwise it would be spotted by someone with ulterior motives and would not withstand detection.
Xu Lin couldn't stop buying things once she started. A kettle, a water jar and a lunch box are must-have items on the road, and towels and toothbrushes are also indispensable.
Next, you need to prepare some snacks for the journey. White Rabbit candy is a must-have when going to the countryside, and brown sugar is hard currency.
It is not easy to buy brown sugar in the countryside, and brown sugar tickets are in short supply.
As long as she had the receipt from the Xu family in her hand, Xu Lin spent the money without any regret.
When Xu Lin stopped, there were four large sacks at her feet. These sacks were bought temporarily from the supply and marketing cooperative.
The people in the supply and marketing cooperative were all envious and wished they could take their place. They also wanted to buy as wantonly.
Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Xu Lin tied the four sacks together in pairs, then carried them one at a time and walked away.
No one has that much energy, and it caused a sensation. With such great energy, he will definitely not be hungry when he goes to the countryside.
Xu Lin swaggered all the way back to the Xu family. Before she even entered the house, she saw the law enforcement officer standing outside the door talking to Old Mrs. Xu.
Seeing Xu Lin coming back, Mrs. Xu shrank her neck, pointed at Xu Lin and shouted:
"The person you are looking for is there. Ask her whatever you want to ask."
The law enforcement officers looked in the direction of Xu Lin's finger, all with stunned expressions, unable to believe that such a thin little girl could have so much strength.
Xu Lin, on the other hand, came up to him with a frank look on his face, put down the sack and asked:
"Hello, my name is Xu Lin. Are you looking for me?"
"Hello, comrade. I am law enforcement officer Lin Qiang, and this is my colleague Si Nan."
After saying this, Lin Qiang showed his work badge to Xu Lin and continued:
"We have received a report from Comrade Qin Zongwu and need your cooperation in the investigation."
"Who? What happened to Qin Zongwu? Does it have anything to do with me?"
Xu Lin asked with a puzzled look on her face. The two law enforcement officers who were watching also became a little suspicious. She continued:
"Of course, it is every citizen's responsibility to cooperate with law enforcement investigations, but can I put my things inside before the investigation?"
Xu Lin pointed to the sacks on the ground and explained, "I will be going to the countryside as an educated youth in a few days. These are the supplies I prepared for myself."
"Sure." Lin Qiang said as he tried to help carry it into the yard, but he failed.
Si Nan, who was standing next to him, looked at Lin Qiang with some confusion, his eyes seemed to be saying, "You are so weak."
Lin Qiang was so angry that he threw his hands and said, "If you can do it, go ahead."
Si Nan didn't say a word but didn't get angry. Instead, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand. "Hmm! If you didn't mention it, I'll bring it up later."
This time, Si Nanti was moved and his face turned red. He complained in his heart about how many things the little girl had bought. He wondered if she had bought out all the supplies and marketing cooperatives.
Xu Lin thanked her cheerfully, bent down, picked up the other two bags and walked towards the yard. Si Nan and Lin Qiang, who were watching with ease, were stunned.
It would have been fine if they didn't know the weight, but now that they knew the weight and seeing how effortlessly Xu Lin did it, they seriously doubted their own abilities.
This is better than even a little girl.
Xu Lin put the things she bought into the room, then took the two law enforcement officers to the main room and sat down.
Seeing Xu Lin busy pouring water, Lin Qiang quickly stopped her and said, "Comrade Xu Lin, don't bother. We are not thirsty."
"Yes, yes, we are not thirsty. Let's talk about business first." Si Nan took over the conversation and motioned Xu Lin to sit down.
Xu Lin didn't hesitate to sit down opposite them and asked with a smile:
"What do you want to ask? I will tell you everything I know."
"Okay, thank you Comrade Xu Lin for your cooperation." Lin Qiang took out his notebook and said seriously, "Then I will start asking questions."
"Well, please ask." Xu Lin put her hands on her knees, looking like a well-behaved little girl, which made Old Mrs. Xu beside her feel jealous.
This little bitch is a good kid, but forget it, this little bitch is a devil.
But Mrs. Xu did not dare to speak out or report the case. She was afraid that the law enforcement officers would conduct an in-depth investigation and find something.
Mrs. Xu was afraid that she would die without a burial place.
Lin Qiang: "Do you know Qin Zongwu?"
Xu Lin: “I don’t know him, but I know his name.”
Lin Qiang: "If you don't know him, how do you know his name?"
Xu Lin: "My biological parents' second son is called Qin Zongwu. As for whether it is the Qin Zongwu you are talking about, I don't know."
Xu Lin briefly introduced her relationship with the Qin family, leaving Lin Qiang and Si Nan shocked and puzzled.
Fortunately, both of them were very professional, so Lin Qiang continued to ask questions.
"Where were you this morning around 8:30?"
Xu Lin raised her eyebrows and thought, here it comes, here comes the key point, that scumbag is really shameless, he reports to the police when he can't beat him, there is no one else to do it.
Fortunately, she was prepared, and Xu Lin answered without changing her expression.
"I was at the supply and marketing cooperative around 8:30 this morning."
Lin Qiang was shocked. After looking at Si Nan, he asked loudly, "You didn't go to Guotai Road this morning?"
Xu Lin looked puzzled and shook her head firmly, "No, I went to the breakfast shop first after I went out in the morning.
After buying breakfast, I headed to the supply and marketing cooperative. I should have arrived there before 8:30.”
"Are you sure you arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative before 8:30?" Lin Qiang sat up straight and said in a stern tone:
"You can't tell such a lie. It's easy to expose."
Si Nan nodded in agreement. Indeed, such matters could be investigated by going to the supply and marketing cooperative.
"I'm sure. The first thing I did when I arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative was to go to the counter and buy a watch."
Xu Lin shook her wrist and said, "The saleswoman even helped me adjust the time.
The time was 8:31. If you don’t believe me, you can go check it out.”
Lin Qiang stared at Xu Lin's determined little face, wondering in his heart, could it be that Qin Zongwu had reported a false case?
You should know that it takes 20 minutes to get from Guotai Road to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative even if you run fast.
It is impossible to get to the supply and marketing cooperative within two or three minutes.
