Afterwards, Qi Chuanqing locked Liu Rui in an empty room in the village committee and guarded him personally.
Zhou Cheng got on the village's tractor and immediately returned to the military district to report the situation, asking the troops to send a vehicle for support.
The reason why Qi Chuanqing didn't take Liu Rui with him on the tractor back to the army was that he was afraid of an ambush on the road. If Liu Rui was kidnapped, their loss would be great.
So, to be on the safe side, he decided to stay in Lotus Village and wait for support.
Soon, Qi Chuanqing's other teammates also came down the mountain. They found the bodies of Chen Yingjie and others, and now they were waiting for Zhou Cheng to drive over and take them back to the army.
The village committee office has now been requisitioned by Qi Chuanqing and others. No one except Mai Xiangdong is allowed to approach it.
The villagers knew that there was a spy imprisoned there, and they all consciously stayed away from it.
Mai Sui also followed Mai Lao San and the others home.
Shen Xingchen's eyes involuntarily looked at Mai Sui's back until Li Qiming patted his shoulder.
"Shen Zhiqing, what are you looking at?" Li Qiming asked knowingly.
Shen Xingchen retracted his gaze: "Nothing, let's go back too."
Li Qiming sighed and kindly advised: "Shen Zhiqing, you are very abnormal today, do you know that?
You had just arrived in the village and had never been to the mountains. There was no need to go into the mountains to look for people, but you insisted on going and were very enthusiastic.
This is not like you normally."
Shen Xingchen was not stupid either. He understood what Li Qiming meant and said softly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
The two have not known each other for long, and Li Qiming is not in the mood to talk too much, so some things can just be touched upon and left alone.
In Li Qiming's opinion, no matter how beautiful the wheat ears are, they are not a good match.
Putting aside his identity as a rural person, Mai Sui is a fool and he might get sick at any time.
Li Qiming felt that instead of looking for Mai Sui as a partner, it would be better to look for Song Hewei or Zhao Xue.
In short, no matter which one, it is better than wheat ears.
Everyone at the educated youth point now knows that Song Hewei and Zhao Xue both like Shen Xingchen.
The two of them were often jealous of each other over Shen Xingchen, and would start a quarrel even over a small matter.
As the person in charge of the educated youth site, Li Qiming sometimes gets annoyed with the two of them.
If Shen Xingchen could establish a relationship with one of them, maybe the other one would calm down.
It’s a pity that Shen Xingchen doesn’t like either of them, and even avoids them like the plague.
Because of this, Shen Xingchen even distanced himself from his good friend Chen Chien.
Because Chen Chien, who didn't know if he was crazy, kept trying to match him up with Song Hewei.
He had clearly stated that he didn't like Song Hewei, but Chen Chien was still intentionally or unintentionally trying to make connections with Song Hewei.
Less than half a month after they went to the countryside, Shen Xingchen felt that Chen Chien had changed.
Chen Chien had no choice. Song Hewei cried and begged him for help, and he agreed on a whim.
Moreover, Song Hewei often paid for him special meals out of her own pocket, and he had to sacrifice his good friend out of gratitude.
What Chen Chien didn't know was that Song Hewei didn't want to prepare special food for him at all, but wanted him to give it to Shen Xingchen.
However, when Shen Xingchen heard that it was Song Hewei who did it, he acted as if it was poisonous and stayed as far away from her as possible.
Chen Chien could only accept it all with a smile. He worked so hard every day, how could he not eat more?
Yang Lin, who cooks with Chen Chien, also wants to eat.
But Song Hewei refused to let him do it.
Yang Lin wanted to follow Shen Xingchen's example and go to Mai Laosan to buy some delicious food, but Mai Laosan ignored him completely.
Mai Laosan actually also wanted to make this money, but everything in the house was controlled by Mai Sui and he had no say.
If Mai Sui found out that he was stealing things from home to sell, he would probably be beaten and his money would be confiscated.
Just like the 32 dollars he won playing cards last time, he still hasn’t received it back yet.
What a sin~
Yang Lin didn't understand the reason and thought that he didn't have enough face, so Mai Lao San only sold it to Shen Xingchen and not to him, so he wanted to ask Shen Xingchen for help.
Shen Xingchen originally refused, but after changing his mind, he agreed for some unknown reason.
However, it’s late today, so we can only go tomorrow.
.......
Zhou Cheng was very fast. In the evening, a military jeep and two large trucks arrived at Lianhua Village.
Fifty or sixty fully armed PLA soldiers got off the truck.
Qi Chuanqing did not let them contact Liu Rui, but asked his team to take Liu Rui away, and also carried away the bodies of Chen Yingjie and others.
Then he said goodbye to Mai Xiangdong.
However, although Qi Chuanqing and his men drove away all the cars, they left behind fifty PLA soldiers.
After Qi Chuanqing left, they all went into the mountains, saying they were going to search the mountain.
Mai Xiangdong didn't dare to ask why, he just went to Mai Laosan's house to remind Mai Sui not to go into the mountains to hunt during the recent period, so as to avoid encountering any terrible things.
Mai Sui still had a lot of savings, and since the People's Liberation Army wanted to search the mountains, she decided not to go.
Qi Chuanqing returned to the army and handed Liu Rui over to professional interrogators for interrogation overnight. He also reported the entire process of the arrest operation to the military region chief of staff Huang Zongwei.
Among them, wheat ears were mentioned specifically.
Qi Chuanqing had already learned the basic situation of Mai Sui from Mai Xiangdong, and asked his men to visit some villagers.
He didn't expect that Mai Sui was actually a fool. When he was sick, he didn't recognize any relatives and even dared to beat his own father.
To be honest, he really didn't see it.
No, maybe there are still some clues to follow.
For example, while she was chasing Liu Rui, she actually had the leisure to catch rabbits.
This is definitely not something a normal person can do.
Now that we know that Mai Sui has a mental problem, everything seems to make sense.
But as the saying goes, there is often only a fine line between madness and genius.
Maybe, Mai Sui is really a genius.
Qi Chuanqing still hasn't given up the idea of recommending Mai Sui to join the army.
He planned to take some time to observe the other party carefully after he finished his busy schedule.
If there is no problem, apply to your superiors and recruit Mai Sui into the army.
Huang Zongwei trusted Qi Chuanqing very much, and after hearing what he said, he was willing to give Mai Sui a chance.
After all, talent is hard to come by.
However, the most urgent task is to solve Liu Rui's problem first.
Judging from the disguise Liu Rui wore when he was arrested and the direction he fled, it can be basically judged that he wanted to leave disguised as a local villager.
So where did the disguise clothes come from? If they were hidden in the mountains beforehand, who hid them? And when did they hide them?
Also, could there be a group of spies lurking in the nearby villages, waiting to connect with Liu Rui?
These must be checked one by one!
And, it has to be fast!
Otherwise, the enemy is likely to see that the situation is not right and run away immediately.
Huang Zongwei also issued orders to the armed forces and public security bureaus of several surrounding counties to fully cooperate with their military operations.
From this we can see that the information stolen by Liu Rui is extremely important and the consequences are extremely serious!
Fortunately, Liu Rui was finally caught by Mai Sui, otherwise it would be difficult to clear her suspicion.
