Chapter 147: More Movement, More Connections
Gao Mingcheng had dinner at Gao Guobing's house. After dinner, he prepared to return to Gaojia Village.
Gao Guobing wanted to ask him to stay at his home for one night, but Gao Mingcheng refused.
There was no mobile phone at that time, and if he didn't go back, Xuanmei would definitely be worried.
He arrived in the county town at noon today. After arriving at the county town, he helped Gao Guobing and others to capture the murderer. If the murderer had not been caught, Gao Mingcheng might have stayed in the county town for one night and tried to capture the murderer before he left.
But things went smoothly. When Gao Mingcheng and Gao Guobing were searching near the train station, they happened to see the murderer who was getting a haircut.
After catching the murderer, Gao Guobing asked He Dayou's younger brother and the victim's neighbor to identify the murderer. However, after the murderer's appearance was changed, the two witnesses were not sure and only said that the body shape was similar.
But it was still easy to identify an outsider. At first, the murderer said nothing, but after a beating, screams and pleas for mercy, he revealed his outsider accent.
Then, under Gao Guobing's experienced interrogation, the panicked murderer finally confessed his guilt. However, he was from another place and had committed murders in other places. Therefore, the case could not be closed yet, and they had to contact the police station in Gansu Province and wait for people there to come and confirm.
Gao Guobing personally escorted Gao Mingcheng out of the police compound. When they were alone, Gao Guobing could not hide his excitement. He patted Gao Mingcheng on the shoulder and said as if promising: "Mingcheng, uncle will not let you suffer any loss!"
Gao Mingcheng grinned and said with a double meaning: "Uncle has never let me suffer any loss!"
"It's getting late today, so I won't keep you here. When you're free in a few days, come to the county to find me." Gao Guobing said with a smile.
"Okay." Gao Mingcheng responded, and after both parties said goodbye, he rode his bicycle and left the place.
Gao Guobing didn't return home until he could no longer see him.
At home, Zhao Dongmei was packing up and Gao Yue was doing homework.
"Dongmei, get ready. I'm going to host a party at my house in a few days. I'd like to invite Director Chen, Deputy Director Liu, Director Lu, Chief Wang, and my elder and younger brothers-in-law to come over."
Zhao Dongmei put down the rag in her hand, unable to hide the excitement on her face. She suppressed her outward emotions and whispered, "Any news?"
Gao Guobing smiled reservedly and said, "Almost. We'll be able to decide after we have dinner with everyone."
The elder brother-in-law and younger brother-in-law mentioned by Gao Guobing are Zhao Dongmei's brothers. Her brothers also have stable jobs, one works in the Forestry Bureau and the other works in the Transportation Bureau.
Although the position is not related to what he wants to do, it is also a display of his network.
If you want to build a house, you need wood. If you have a relationship with the people in the Forestry Bureau, it will be convenient to get the wood. If you want to buy a car or something, it will be much easier if you have a relationship with the Transportation Bureau.
The interpersonal relationships in a place are so intertwined.
Even if Gao Mingcheng pedaled his bike as fast as he could, it was still very late when he got home.
Fortunately, the weather was good today. There was a bright moon hanging in the sky, casting its silver light on the earth. Gao Mingcheng's eyesight was also good, so he returned home safely without being affected.
Xuanyuemei was still awake. When she heard the sound of the yard door being pushed and the cries of Black Tiger and the elf, she immediately came out.
"Ming Cheng, why did you come back so late? Have you eaten? Are you hungry? I left some food for you. I'll go get it for you!"
Gao Mingcheng had just entered the house, before he could say a word, when he heard Xuanyuemei saying a series of words. He then saw her trotting into the kitchen and taking out a bowl of rice from the still warm big iron pot.
With the still warm food in hand, what could Gao Mingcheng say? Of course he would eat it!
Although he had eaten at Gao Guobing's house before, he practiced martial arts every day and had a big appetite. Riding his bike all the way back also consumed some energy.
So he sat directly on the stool in the yard and started eating with big mouthfuls.
Just after he finished eating, Xuanyuemei brought him a glass of water.
After having a full meal and drinking a few waters, Gao Mingcheng briefly told Xuanyuemei about what happened today. Speaking of the family annihilation case and catching the criminal, it was quite thrilling, but the actual arrest scene was far less thrilling.
Gao Mingcheng and Gao Guobing arrested the criminals when they were off guard.
Moreover, the prisoner was originally a farmer. When he was fighting for land with a villager, he accidentally killed the other person with a hoe, and then fled in a hurry. Therefore, he had no gun or knife.
The machete that killed a family of five actually belonged to the victim's home.
But Gao Mingcheng didn't tell Duomei about these things in detail. He only gave a rough idea and said, "My uncle and his men are busy with the case these days. I'll go to the county to find him in a few days. Duomei, do you want to go?"
Gao Mingcheng looked at Xuanyuemei and asked for her opinion.
Many of the beautiful girls showed excitement on their faces, but they were still a little hesitant, so they hesitated and did not speak.
She felt that she was too far away from Gao Guobing's family, and even if she went there, she wouldn't be able to communicate.
But at the same time, she was very curious and yearning about Gao Mingcheng's social circle.
Gao Mingcheng understood what was going on, so he made a decision for her: "Three days later, it will be the county market day. I will take you to visit Uncle Guo Bing's house and buy you a few books."
Last time I said I would buy it, but I got delayed.
There was no need to hesitate about the beauty anymore. She looked at Gao Mingcheng with a smile as beautiful as a flower.
It was late, so after washing up, they hugged each other and fell asleep.
The next morning, Gao Mingcheng planned to go into the mountains again. This time, of course, he was not going hunting, because he had only eaten a little of the wild boar he had caught the day before.
He was planning to go into the mountains to shake honey. Three days later, he would bring many beauties to visit Gao Guobing's family. Therefore, it would be difficult for him to go empty-handed. It was not necessary to spend money to buy gifts.
Therefore, he planned to carry two kilograms of honey.
The honey that I gave to Gao Guobing's family last year was eaten up by them long ago, so it's just right for them to continue eating it now.
Originally, Gao Mingcheng had planned to shake honey once in March, but unfortunately the beehives were stolen by black bears, causing him to suffer heavy losses. Not only was the honey gone, but the bees were also killed by hornets, and most of them died. He had to attract queen bees from wild beehives and let them rebuild their nests in the beehives.
Fortunately, there were still two beehives that had not been destroyed by the black bear, so some honey could be shaken out.
Gao Mingcheng carried a simple honey extractor and walked into the mountains.
The principle of the honey extractor is not difficult. He explained it to the carpenter, and the carpenter was able to produce the effect he wanted.
It has been made, but we still have to try it to know whether it is actually useful or not.
But he will be able to find out soon, I hope it will be useful!
Gao Mingcheng walked briskly on the mountain road. This mountain was sparsely populated and there was originally no road, but he managed to trample out a path by himself.
Black Tiger and the Elf also followed. Black Tiger experiencedly explored the surroundings, while the Elf, a silly little dog, was having fun in the woods alone.
