Suddenly, an acupuncture needle appeared in his hand, which had been under the table. It was the set of gold needles that his master had left him. He had used it a few times before, but later he had been using the needles provided by the hospital, and this set had been stored away in the warehouse.
Although it's called a gold needle, it actually contains other metals. If it were just gold made this thin, it would probably be as soft as noodles.
Holding the needle in my hand, I made a very small movement and pricked my thigh, forcing myself to calm down.
After several minutes of silence, Li Chu seemed to remember something and said, "Director Liu, I think I saw two female comrades when I turned onto the main road after leaving the cafeteria that day."
"are you sure?"
After thinking it over carefully, Li Chu nodded and said with certainty.
"That's right, I did run into two women. They were standing by the roadside chatting, and it seemed like they were discussing going to the department store to buy Wan Zi Qian Hong and some other things."
After listening to what Li Chu said, Director Liu turned to look at the person next to him who was taking notes.
The man understood and put down his pen, then took out a thick stack of letter paper from his bag.
Li Chu glanced at it; it was covered with dense records, probably all interrogation transcripts.
Director Liu and the other two each took a portion and began to look through it, and the room fell silent for a moment.
After calming himself down, Li Chu was confident that they wouldn't find anything out about him, since he hadn't wasted any time at all, and they simply couldn't imagine that he would have a personal storage unit.
Six boxes can't be moved in a short time, after all, each box is quite heavy.
The reason they are asking me now is because, through investigation, they discovered that the time they left after finishing their meal was very close to the time the box appeared.
They can't find anything here because everything they say is true.
Li Chu kept encouraging himself.
At this moment, the man who had been taking notes handed a copy of the transcript to Director Liu and pointed to it.
Director Liu looked at it carefully for a while before raising his head and asking, "Xiao Chu, why do you remember what those two women said so clearly?"
"Because Qiu Nan, oh, that is, my lover, she usually uses Wan Zi Qian Hong, so I was able to remember it."
Next, Director Liu and the others asked some more questions, which Li Chu answered seriously. They even asked the same questions again, interspersed among the previous ones.
"Okay, that's all for now." Director Liu took the written record and handed it to Li Chu: "Xiao Chu, take a look and see if it matches what you just said. If there's anything wrong, point it out. If there are no problems, sign your name at the bottom of each page and then put your fingerprint on it." After saying that, he handed over an inkwell.
Against the Gods
Li Chu carefully read through the record and only signed and pressed his fingerprint after confirming that there were no problems.
After taking the transcript and putting it away, the three of them stood up. Director Liu said, "Xiao Chu, don't feel guilty. We're just conducting a normal inquiry. We need to find everyone who worked that day."
"Director Liu, I understand, please don't worry."
They had already taken a few steps out when Director Liu suddenly stopped, pointed at Li Chu's desk and asked, "How heavy is your desk?" As he spoke, he walked up to him and lifted it up with one hand.
"Uh, this table is quite heavy, it must weigh at least fifty or sixty pounds." Li Chu also reached out to test it.
Director Liu nodded and turned to walk out of the consultation room.
Li Chu escorted them to the hospital entrance and watched them get into the jeep. Just as he was about to turn back, Director Liu rolled down the car window and said to him, "Xiao Chu, there might be more people coming to ask you questions later. Cooperate well and don't be resistant."
“I understand, Uncle Liu,” Li Chu said with a smile.
"Remember the confidentiality rules. Go back now, we're leaving." Director Liu waved to him, rolled up the car window, and the car drove away.
Li Chu stood at the door watching the car until it was out of sight before turning around and going back into the hospital.
In the jeep, the person who had been taking notes was driving. As he drove, he said to Director Liu, "Director, I feel like all the questions we've asked are completely useless. Six boxes, the largest of which weighs over 200 pounds even when empty. Can an ordinary person lift that?"
The person sitting in the back row continued, "Yes, Director, it would take two or three people to carry just that empty box, not to mention all the things inside. Such a big target, how come no one saw it? Could the person who put the things in be invisible?"
Director Liu didn't say anything, but glanced at the person in the back row with his head turned to the side. The person smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything more.
"Tch, you're really good at making things up. Invisible? Why don't you just say it fell from the sky?" The driver, oblivious to Director Liu's gaze, joked.
Seeing that no one responded, the driver realized that the atmosphere in the car was a bit strange, and he shut his mouth and dared not say another word.
Director Liu peered up through the windshield at the sky, shook his head slightly, leaned back in his seat, and closed his eyes to ponder.
After Li Chu returned to the clinic, Nurse Wang had not yet returned. He sat down behind his desk, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes.
He believed he had no flaws and that there would be nothing wrong with the transcript.
He sighed deeply in his heart. Why is it so difficult to do a good deed?
"I've done my part for the country's defense, and I don't seek fame or fortune, so why am I being questioned?" Li Chu thought to himself with a self-deprecating smile.
Over the next period of time, four groups of people came to question him, and his answers were always similar: he told the truth. Gradually, nothing came of it.
Li Chu had no idea what the final investigation results were, nor did he know or dare to ask what happened to the documents he had left there.
By the end of July, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Uncle Wang somehow got hold of two ceiling fans and installed them in the living room and bedroom.
Every time Li Chu saw the ceiling fans above his head, he was afraid they might accidentally fall down.
As expected, his brother-in-law failed the college entrance exam and was assigned to the motorcade of Wang Ziwen's bureau as an apprentice.
I can receive an apprenticeship wage of fifteen yuan per month, and they also arrange a dormitory for four people.
This made Ding's parents very happy, and they insisted on inviting Wang Ziwen to dinner. In the end, Li Qin made the final decision to take advantage of the day off, buy some groceries, and have everyone come to Li Chu's place for a get-together.
Thankfully, our dining table is big enough, otherwise there wouldn't be enough room for everyone to sit.
Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang also came over. Uncle Wang's eldest son, Wang Junxiu, came back from his family visit leave, and this time he brought his girlfriend with him. Aunt Wang has been all smiles these past two days.
