Chapter 310: Lantern Festival, Go to See the Lanterns
The people sitting on Gao Mingcheng's tractor bed were not only the murderer Wang Zhi, but also the sick Gao Guobing and a police officer who had broken his leg.
As for Huang Dazhi and others, they rode the police bicycles and followed behind the tractor.
Gao Guobing's face was flushed and he wasn't in good condition, but he was wearing warm clothes and had taken cold medicine, so he forced himself to continue working on the case.
The case of Wang Zhi's murder is very simple, and all the evidence chains are complete. Now that Wang Zhi has been arrested, we just need to go through the procedures.
For someone like him who dared to kill his parents for gambling, the final outcome would naturally be a bullet. In addition, because of his incident, the county would crack down on gambling.
Prostitution, gambling and drugs have always been extremely harmful to society. However, due to the times and local conditions, prostitution and drugs have not spread to this simple little county town, but gambling has never disappeared.
Some people are born gamblers with an adventurous spirit, while others want to get something for nothing and fantasize about living a good life easily.
In daily life, people often make bets, such as betting on who can harvest more grain or who can raise heavier pigs.
This kind of bet is verbal, and sometimes it is accompanied by some small prizes to satisfy people's interest in life.
Gao Mingcheng doesn't like gambling because he knows that all gambling is a scam in the end.
The tricks used by cheaters are endless, and it is almost impossible for an ordinary person to win the bet.
Instead of pinning your hopes on the illusory gambling, it is better to do things down to earth. He had never gambled in his previous life, but he saw many people who were coaxed into gambling because they made a little money, and then lost all their fortunes.
Some people even had their fingers cut off because they could not pay off their gambling debts.
What he saw and heard made him more determined not to gamble.
Wangqiao Town is not far from the county town. Thirty minutes later, the tractor stopped in front of the police station.
Gao Mingcheng helped escort the murderer inside, then said, "Uncle, I'm leaving first."
Gao Guobing nodded and walked towards the office. He also had to call his superiors to report the latest progress of the case.
This time they not only captured the murderer, but also excavated two ancient tombs and seized a lot of antiques!
This is a big case!
For solving such a big case, everyone will be rewarded with credit and subsidies!
Gao Mingcheng left, but did not return to his home. Instead, he went to the Women's Federation office to find Zhao Dongmei.
Zhao Dongmei is the director of the Women's Federation and has already come to work.
"Aunt, uncle has completed the case, but he is sick. If you have time, go see him and advise him to rest more." Gao Mingcheng said.
When Zhao Dongmei heard that Gao Guobing was sick, she became anxious. He had been out on a case in the middle of winter and had not been home for several days. It must have been hard work.
"Okay, I understand. Mingcheng, thank you for your hard work." Zhao Dongmei said gratefully.
The two didn't say much. Gao Mingcheng said goodbye and left. Zhao Dongmei went back to the office to arrange things and then rode her bicycle to the police station.
When Gao Mingcheng returned home, the Xinxin clothing store had already opened.
Business is not very good, but people continue to come into the store to choose things, and most of them are young men and women. From their words, it can be seen that these young men and women should be discussing marriage.
The Chinese New Year is a time when blind dates are concentrated. Now that the New Year is coming to an end, men and women who have successfully gone on blind dates can proceed to the next step.
Whether it is engagement or marriage, buying a suitable new set of clothes becomes a necessity. Men and women who can afford it will naturally choose Xinxin Clothing Store. This store is large, has novel decoration, a wide variety of clothing styles, and good quality. It has already gained a good reputation in the county.
Many people's impression of it is that except for being expensive, everything else is fine.
Xuanyuemei had just finished a business deal when she saw Gao Mingcheng coming back. She hurried forward and asked about the situation on Gao Mingcheng's side.
Gao Mingcheng said something brief and went upstairs to his room. He didn't need to rest, but to take out the jade pendant and jade cow given to him by Huang Dazhi from the cabinet.
He knew before that these jade artifacts were antiques, but he couldn't be sure of their age and value. Now, through the ancient tomb excavated by Wang Zhi, he can confirm that they are from the Song Dynasty. As for whether they are from the Northern Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty, he will have to wait for the Cultural Relics Management Office to study it.
After a while he'll go find Director Wang, ask him a few questions, and he'll know everything.
Gao Mingcheng did not secretly steal the antiques that Wang Zhi dug out later, because Wang Zhi would tell him everything he had obtained during the interrogation.
There was no need for him to dirty his hands. Besides, things that had just been taken out of a tomb and things that had passed through several hands gave people a different feeling.
Those that have just been unearthed are called Mingqi, but those that have passed through several hands and whose specific origins are unknown are called antiques.
March 2, 1989 was the Lantern Festival. After the Lantern Festival, the New Year is completely over. Viewing lanterns is also a traditional activity of the Lantern Festival.
Gao Mingcheng remembered that on that day, a tragic Lantern Festival incident occurred in Xining, QH Province, with many casualties. The serious consequences led to the mayor's resignation, and the deputy mayor and the police chief were removed from their posts.
This was a big incident, so he was deeply impressed. Later, whenever he encountered crowded places, he was unwilling to get close. When a stampede occurred, the manpower seemed a little thin, and it was difficult to turn the tide in a disaster.
However, you can go and see the Lantern Festival held in their county, because this event is the Hundred Lanterns Festival that was resumed after being suspended for more than ten years.
The "Hundred Lanterns" are in the shape of a lantern tree. The branches of the whole lantern tree are separated, with flowing tassels and colorful lanterns hanging high. Moreover, each lantern tree is not connected, so it is flexible to move around, and can be lined up to meander around the main street of the county town.
Since this is the first time it is held in these years, there are not many people participating, so there will be no stampede.
Therefore, Gao Mingcheng decided to take Xuanmei and Gao Shufang to watch the lanterns.
These colorful lights no longer have any appeal to him, but to Xuanmei and Gao Shufang, who have lived in the mountain village for a long time, they are a new and novel sight.
People must experience more before they can resist temptation and remain calm in the face of honor and disgrace.
Gao Mingcheng hopes that they can broaden their horizons and see a more wonderful world.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the county residents had already finished their meal and came to the square in front of the county party committee compound.
There is also an artificial lake next to it, named Qianzi Lake. There are pavilions, flowers and trees beside the lake. It is roughly developed now, but it will be beautifully built in the future and become people's favorite place to walk.
The Baizi Lantern Festival is held by Qianzi Lake. The name itself sounds funny.
When Gao Mingcheng brought Xu Xuanmei and Gao Shufang over there, there were already quite a few people in the square, so he looked around and found a stone.
He asked Gao Shufang to stand on this stone so that she could see the hundred lanterns in front of her over the densely packed backs of heads.
As for Xuanyimei, Gao Mingcheng put his hands on her waist and exerted force. Xuanyimei's body suddenly jumped upwards. With a scream from Xuanyimei, she was already sitting steadily on Gao Mingcheng's shoulders.
Xuanyuemei's cheeks blushed because she found that everyone around her was looking at her. She lowered her head in shame and whispered, "Mingcheng, what are you doing? Put me down!"
Gao Mingcheng smiled brightly, not paying attention to other people's gazes.
Many beauties definitely weigh less than 100 kilograms, at most 98 kilograms. Gao Mingcheng thought to himself, and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't let you fall."
Xuanyuemei was even more embarrassed. She was not worried about falling!
She was worried about being laughed at!
There were people who carried people on their shoulders like this, but they were carrying children, not like Gao Mingcheng who was carrying his wife!
"Put me down, I'll stand with Shufang." Xuanyimei said firmly, and asked again to let her down.
Seeing that she was determined, Gao Mingcheng didn't want to continue and had to let it go.
Many beauties jumped away as if on fire, not daring to get close to Gao Mingcheng. But Gao Shufang looked at her with envy and whispered, "Sister-in-law, my second brother is so good to you!"
Many beauties blushed but nodded.
If there were fewer people here, she would be willing to be carried on Gao Mingcheng's shoulders, but now there are so many people that she feels embarrassed.
At this time, the lantern festival began.
So those who had been secretly watching Gao Mingcheng and the others immediately shifted their attention.
Hundreds of lanterns dance with colorful lights, enriching people's lives.
Emotions of happiness and excitement also indicate that people yearn for a better life.
A Lantern Festival lantern show amazed tens of thousands of people.
Friends, I really want to make 10,000 yuan a day, but after sitting in front of the computer for a long time, my mind is foggy and I have no ideas!
