At night, Fang Shijie was chatting with Lu Zhiye in a random manner, but his ears were perked up to listen to the noise outside.
Suddenly, the sound of a car engine and the sound of uniform footsteps were heard outside.
Before Lu Zhiye and Fang Shijie could look outside, two soldiers ran over quickly.
A piece of iron sheet was lowered from the window to cover the outside completely.
Suddenly the room was dark, and Fang Shijie fumbled for a long time but couldn't find a light switch.
"My goodness, this Yang Shulin is really good at playing games. He is playing psychological warfare on us.
It seems that our previous statements still made them suspicious.
Tsk tsk tsk, this small place is full of hidden talents."
This Yang Shulin is obviously a guy who is pretending to be a pig but is actually a tiger.
"Hey, don't let anything slip later, they'll probably check it again."
Fang Shijie was afraid that Lu Zhiye had never seen such a big scene and would lose his composure again, so he quickly reminded him.
As soon as he finished speaking, he laughed. This kid Lu Zhiye is smarter than himself. If he had a good background, his achievements would probably not be much worse than Wen Shize.
The "trample trample" sound outside continued for nearly two hours before it completely quieted down.
By the time the poplar forest was completely cleared, it was almost dawn.
He sat in the chair and rubbed his face vigorously with his big hands.
"Has the trial concluded?"
Chen Jianhua, who was standing by, was also exhausted. When he heard Yang Shulin's question, he quickly stood up and prepared to answer.
Yang Shulin stretched out his hand and pressed it down: "There are no outsiders here, so let's not do these empty things. Sit down and talk."
As he spoke, he poured Chen Jianhua a cup of tea.
"According to our count, excluding those who were beaten to death, there are 34 survivors and 27 dead.
I estimate that most of them have already been dispatched. The exact number of people will have to wait until Xiao Liu and his team come back from searching the mountain to see if there are any fish that have escaped the net."
"Have you found out who shot those people in the head in the woods?"
"There are only a few survivors left, and they are all stubborn. It will probably take some effort to get rid of them."
"Well, keep prying and dig along the previous line."
The two were discussing the matter in the office when Fang Shijie, who was locked in a dark room, suddenly shouted, "It's over, it's over."
Lu Zhiye gave him a puzzled look.
Although Fang Shijie couldn't see in the dark, he could guess Lu Zhiye's confusion.
He said regretfully, "Before, I just thought that the man's identity was not ordinary, so I kept him alive and asked the troops to check his specific identity to see if they could pry his mouth open.
But now we have been brought here too. What if that person identifies us? Wouldn't that mean we would be forced into this mess?"
Lu Zhiye nodded: "You just thought of it?"
Smart Mr. Lu said that he had thought of it when he was first brought into the room.
"Is there any good solution?"
Lu Zhiye took out some dried meat from his pocket and handed it over: "There is no other good way. If it doesn't work, the only option is to expose your identity. I was just dragged here by you."
Fang Shijie:......It's not enough to plot against me once, you have to plot against me again.
"Alas, there is really no other way but to show Captain Yang Shulin the strength of the second generation ancestor of the Fang family..."
In fact, Fang Shijie already had a plan in mind at this time, and he slammed the door.
The two soldiers guarding the door cautiously opened a crack from above and asked, "What's going on?"
"We have been locked up here for more than 10 hours. We are not allowed to pee, so we have to pee in a jar. It stinks.
Can you tell me when we can go out? We have to go to work early this morning."
Fang Shijie tried to look out through the crack, but his view was blocked by someone: "When can we go out? The higher-ups will hold a meeting to decide.
If there is really no problem with your identity, we will notify your team to come and pick you up. Stay inside honestly."
"Hey, hey, hey, I want to see your battalion commander Yang Shulin."
"Our battalion commander has important things to do right now. You can talk to me if you have anything to say."
Fang Shijie felt powerless when he saw the upright and uncompromising young soldier.
In an instant, I realized how it felt when I had just joined the army and was assigned to the gate, following the guards on duty.
The leader wanted to go in, and it was obvious that he could be let in just by looking at the license plate number. No one was delaying the matter, but he insisted that people show their identification before letting him in.
In the end, the leader who came to inspect temporarily did not provide any proof, and it was the chief of staff who came out cursing and led the person in...”
Today, Fang Shijie fully experienced the feeling of not being able to hit anyone.
Ordinary people only know that the leader of the garrison is surnamed Yang. He even mentioned his name, so how could he be an ordinary villager? He must know him.
Fang Shijie had a wooden face and shouted, "Just tell your battalion commander that someone in Beijing is looking for him."
"I'm sorry, I can't convey that!"
Fang Shijie:.........
How obvious should I say this?
Lu Zhiye pushed Fang Shijie aside and said to the people at the door: "We were wandering in the woods today and found some people. We want to report to the leader.
Could you please report it one level at a time?"
The man thought for a moment, looked at the person next to him, and then said to Lu Zhiye: "Close the door and wait inside."
With a "bang", the door was closed. Lu Zhiye looked at Fang Shijie with an indescribable look.
I used to think this guy was smart, but who would have thought he was so stupid.
"Your Fang family's identity is very useful to the superiors, but to them, it is just a useless piece of white paper."
"That's it. You see, it will take another hour or so for us to see Captain Yang. We have to report to each level one by one. There will always be people who are curious about you and come down to see you in advance.
By the time it reached Captain Yang, I guess all the local leaders had already seen it.”
Fang Shijie slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot!"
In the past, whether in the army or in the compound, with his status as a member of the Fang family, it was easy for him to find any leader he wanted.
However, they ignore how difficult it is for both the lower-level villagers and soldiers to see the leaders.
"What should I do? Wouldn't my identity be exposed?"
Lu Zhiye took out the pot ash from his pocket and handed it over: "You're lucky."
It was dark, and Fang Shijie couldn't see what it was, so he quickly asked, "What is this?"
"Put the soot on your face. Then if someone comes by, they won't be able to tell your true appearance."
These things, although called "pot ashes", are not simply "pot ashes". Lu Zhiye doesn't know how Wen Sihe made them.
Apply it on your face and it won't fall off even if you wash it with water.
It can only be washed off with the soap she made...it should be soap.
