198 Unsolved Cases
A deep male voice came from the window: "I, Ming Rilang."
Su Taotao was still confused. She couldn't remember if it was Ming Rilang's voice. After a while, she said: "It's not appropriate for me to open the window. If you have something to say, just say it."
Ming Rilang also knew that he was abrupt. He said through the window:
"It's like this. Today's joint action was very successful. In the action just now, a comrade named Cao Guohua helped us a lot.
He said he didn't need any praise. If possible, he hoped that we could take you to the downtown railway station. It just so happens that we have a car to take you there. If you need it, our car can come to pick you up at six in the morning."
Su Taotao was confused. There is also a ride? That would be the best, otherwise we would have to take a tractor to the county seat, then take a bus from the county seat to the city, and then take a train from the city. How troublesome.
"Sure, thank you, but we have one adult and three children. Do you have enough seats?"
Ming Rilang said, "Yes, Comrade Cao has told us about this. A large car will come overnight. You can take our car."
Su Taotao: "Okay, thank you first."
Ming Rilang: "You're welcome. We will pick you up on time at six o'clock."
Su Taotao thanked him, went back to the bed, picked up her watch and saw that it was already four o'clock. She packed up her things and made breakfast. In fact, it was about the same time.
Su Taotao thought she hadn't alarmed anyone. When she walked out of the room, Zhou Linglan had already gotten up.
"I heard the noise. Is everything okay?"
Su Taotao nodded. "Nothing is wrong. The police said there is a ride-hailing service that can take us to the train station. This is much more convenient."
Zhou Linglan nodded. "That's great. Is everything going well?"
Su Taotao said, "Everything is going well."
She thought about it and didn't tell her that Cao Guohua was going to help.
Both of them were quick and efficient. They quickly prepared breakfast. Half an hour later, the fried snails that the children liked to eat were also on the table.
Before going to bed last night, Zhou Linglan had already simmered the rice porridge on the stove with charcoal fire so that she could eat it directly when she woke up.
In addition, she also baked a lot of cakes, boiled all the eggs at home, and boiled a large bag of sweet potatoes, intending to give them to the police comrades.
The cool potatoes that the two children picked yesterday were also brought along. At this time, the cool potatoes were tender and juicy, and eating them was very thirst-quenching.
At five o'clock, Su Taotao went to wake up the children on time.
Fu Yuanhang and Mumu were fine, but Chenchen was sleeping so soundly that Su Taotao couldn't bear to wake him up. She planned to let him sleep a little longer and get up before six o'clock. He could just have a pancake and an egg in the car anyway.
Fu Yuanhang and Mumu usually get up at six o'clock, so it's still acceptable to get up an hour earlier now.
Especially since there were appetizers like fried snails with sour bamboo shoots so early in the morning, Mumu felt that it was okay for him not to sleep!
After breakfast and cleaning up, Dongfang was already vomiting white hair, so Su Taotao went to wake Chenchen up to wash up.
After Chenchen finished washing and put on his small schoolbag, the police car just happened to park outside.
"Chenchen, this is the new schoolbag that grandma made for you. You can carry it to school when the time comes." Chenchen
took it happily. This schoolbag was a little bigger than his old one. Not only was it embroidered with his Baibai, but it could also hold more things. Chenchen was very satisfied and was reluctant to let go of Zhou Linglan: "Thank you grandma~~"
When writing a letter before, Fu Yuanhang mentioned Baibai to Zhou Linglan, but he didn't expect that she would really embroider it.
Zhou Linglan took out two other big schoolbags: "This one is Ahhang's, and this one is Mumu's."
Mumu picked it up and saw that his and Fu Yuanhang's schoolbags were almost exactly the same except that the dog pattern was on the left and right.
Mumu took it happily, pointed at the dog pattern and asked Fu Yuanhang: "Does it look like Dahei and Baibai?
Godmother's craftsmanship is really good. I have been making Ah Hang's schoolbag for a long time. Thank you, godmother. In the future, Ah Hang and I can go to school with brother schoolbags on our backs. In this way, people can know that we are brothers at a glance!"
Fu Yuanhang looked at him speechlessly: "My last name is Fu, and your last name is Mo."
Mumu said: "Ah Hang, you really have no sense of humor at all."
Zhou Linglan reluctantly sent them out the door with big and small bags.
The three children's eyes were red.
"Mother-in-law, you promised that you must come during the New Year."
Zhou Linglan nodded: "Okay, I will go."
The driver was Ming Rilang himself. Zhou Linglan gave him the prepared pancakes, eggs and sweet potatoes: "Thank you for your hard work, public security comrades, save these for the road."
Ming Rilang declined repeatedly: "Auntie, this is inappropriate. We public servants are determined not to take a single penny from the masses. You are making me make a mistake by doing this."
Su Taotao took it and put it directly in the car, including the cold potatoes: "It's shameful to waste food. If you don't eat it after it's cooked, it will be a real mistake if it goes bad. There's no need to make such a serious statement for a bite of breakfast. You'll scare the old man."
Ming Rilang didn't know what to say, so he could only thank her repeatedly and help Su Taotao carry the luggage into the car.
This is a spacious seven-seater car. Probably to avoid attracting attention, Ming Rilang was not driving a police car.
The last row was already full, and Su Taotao and the children were sitting in the middle row.
After settling in, Su Taotao waved to Zhou Linglan: "Go home, Mom, we can see each other again during the New Year."
Zhou Linglan waved to them: "I know, have a safe trip."
At this time, Mumu poked his head out: "Godmother, the sandals I bought before are my gift to you. They are under the table in the living room. Remember to wear them."
Zhou Linglan looked at Mumu lovingly and nodded: "Okay, thank you Mumu, godmother will wear them."
The car moved forward, and Zhou Linglan did not go into the house, but waved vigorously at the car from behind.
Behind her in the alley, Cao Guohua's figure was still hidden in a corner where no one could see him.
The hardworking neighbors also got up, and when they heard the sound of cars coming out, they asked Zhou Linglan:
"Zhengtu's mother, did Ah Hang and his friends leave again?"
"Yes, they came to pick them up in a big car, so impressive."
"Zhengtu's mother, who are they? Why did they come to pick them up so early?"
...
Zhou Linglan smiled and said, "I'm not sure about the arrangements made by Mumu's father."
Mumu has been carrying the blame since he entered the village.
"It's good that my son is successful, and even his friends are successful."
"Oh, by the way, did you hear? A big thief was caught last night!"
Zhou Linglan shook her head and said, "I did hear the sound, but we went to bed early last night. Aren't we going to hurry today?"
The lady next door: "Let me tell you, a lot of thieves were caught last night. I heard that they were all cow and pig thieves. The pigs and cows lost in the neighboring county recently were done by them. I heard that they lurked in the hills near us and are preparing to attack our team. The attackers were caught, luckily."
Another auntie waved her hands and said nonchalantly, "No, it's not that. It's obviously that place, over in the Green Moon Valley, where they keep several pretty girls. Men can go there to have fun with money and tickets."
Wherever there is gossip, there are aunties. Almost immediately, the topic has shifted from "Su Taotao was picked up by a car early in the morning" to something else:
"Yes, yes, I heard about it too. Someone caught a couple adultering last night. The two were taken away to the brigade office. I heard that they were disheveled and hugging each other. It seems that Mumu's father went to track down the culprit."
"How could that be? Someone was clearly doing something in Aunt Wang's cucumber field and even crushed Aunt Wang's cucumbers."
"Then why do you have to open the warehouse to catch the adulterer?"
"It's not about opening the warehouse, it's about the sound of breaking doors."
"Why are there continuous noises of people breaking doors in your house?"
"How should I know? No door has ever been broken into in my house."
"Oh my god, this is so unlucky. You should go home and ask your spouse if he has been to Green Moon Valley recently. Maybe he has been fooled by those adulterers."
"Bah!" Several aunties glared at her at the same time, "Your husband is the one who went to Green Moon Valley to have an affair!"
...
In short, the joint action last night became an unsolved case, and no one knew what happened.
No one knew that Su Taotao's family and Cao Guohua had done good deeds.
It was just an important topic for members to talk about after dinner. As for the truth, it seems that no one cares much.
