Upon learning that He Ruixue was an eyewitness and had even killed the murderer, Mr. He did not show any strange expression. Instead, he praised her for knowing how to protect herself and not being afraid of danger.
When I found out that her last name was also He, I couldn't help but like her even more.
Patting her on the shoulder, he said, "Comrade He Xiao, don't worry, and don't feel any psychological burden. You did the right thing.
You are Xiaoyuan and our family's benefactor. If you hadn't seen it today, if it were someone else, I'm afraid it would have just been another innocent person who died, and another family would have been harmed."
"I heard he killed more than one person. If you let him go, it would be equivalent to letting him continue to endanger society. So not only are you not wrong, you have also done a meritorious service because you protected the safety of the people.
If anyone wants to slander you or even punish you in the future, just come to me. I'm not good at anything else but I like to meddle in other people's affairs."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zheng Yingwei lightly.
The latter quickly straightened his back and said solemnly, "Mr. He, don't worry. We asked Comrade He Ruixue to come here just to assist in the investigation and identify the murderer. We have no other intentions."
Today's railway department implements semi-militarized management, like a small kingdom, with building construction section, living section, independent power and water supply system, as well as hospitals, children's schools, railway technical schools, railway public security bureau and other facilities, allowing it to be isolated from the world.
They even have their own public security, procuratorate and courts.
Whenever a staff member commits a crime, they handle it themselves.
When the riot broke out outside, the railways stopped running and the country's industry was almost paralyzed.
The higher-ups issued several explicit documents prohibiting interference in the railway department, so the railway department became the boss of the railway industry. Basically no one dared to mess with it, and the department lived in peace amidst the turmoil.
Mr. He's confidence comes from this. If someone makes a mistake and convicts He Ruixue, he can just transfer the person's household registration to road registration, so that they can make a more rational handling of the matter internally.
Of course, this method cannot be used to escape punishment. The public security, procuratorial and judicial organs of the railway department are very fair and are supervised by the children of workers.
It was only because he was certain that He Ruixue's behavior did not constitute a crime that he solemnly guaranteed her.
Zhao Meiya was immediately amused when she heard his words. "Oh, she's an engineer indeed. What she said makes sense. Our Dongbao would never do anything bad. She was even on the newspaper and saved many people. She's a little hero."
In her opinion, even if He Ruixue accidentally killed someone, let alone acted in self-defense, she would only help cover it up and take the blame. It can be said that she doted on him without limits.
At this point, the rest of the matter should have little to do with He Ruixue.
Wang Taozhi later rushed over with He Xiaojie. When they saw the portrait of the wanted criminal, He Xiaojie exclaimed, "I think I've seen this guy somewhere before, but he should have a pretty thick beard."
She gestured along her chin, which was exactly the area of the dead murderer's beard.
Zheng Yingwei was worried about not being able to find any clues. Upon hearing this, he quickly asked her, "Little comrade, where did you see it?"
"I, I saw it at Niu's house."
"The Niu family, is that where the murderer lives?"
"No, it's the Niu family in our courtyard. Mom, do you remember the ghost incident they caused a few months ago?"
"Of course I don't remember. Everyone in the yard said they saw a ghost, but no one saw it."
This incident never happened again after that. Everyone in the yard thought they had seen it wrong, and gradually calmed down and started talking about other things.
Wang Taozhi thought for a moment and said, "Wasn't Xu Yun terrified at the time? She couldn't sleep at night, and you let her stay in your room.
I think her family is too tight, with several people sleeping in one room. How can she sleep if she snores and grinds her teeth? That’s why she found an excuse to sleep in the big bed with you.”
"It's not an excuse, it's true, Mom. I was curious about the Niu family's affairs before, and I often secretly watched them. I finally found out that there was something wrong with their cellar.
There's an entrance behind his kitchen, and another exit outside the yard, not far from the back door. I suspect there's a tunnel, but I don't dare go down and take a look."
Everyone present stared with wide eyes. Wang Taozhi became serious and asked, "How did you find out?"
"I once saw Big Brother Niu suddenly come back from the back door. I thought it was strange, so I often lay on the wall of the back door in the middle of the night to watch. One time, I happened to see him coming out of the ground.
I was shocked at the time, but when I went there again during the day, I found a small stone slab underneath the large one. I couldn't pull it out, so it must be the exit of the cellar."
"No wonder. I was wondering why you were always getting up in the middle of the night and discussing with your dad whether you should see Dr. Liu to check your kidneys. Why were you always running to the bathroom?"
He Xiaojie blushed and got to the point, "Xu Yun always talks about Niu Jiayou's voice, which sounds very rough and doesn't sound like Big Brother Niu's.
But we've been to Niu's house several times and haven't seen anyone there, so I'm wondering if that person got out of the tunnel."
"Once, the Niu family was haunted again, and Aunt Yin went to their house to make trouble. I hurried over and hid at the back door, just in time to see someone come out."
He Xiaojie gestured, "He was about this tall, quite strong, and he didn't look like a good guy. The moonlight was quite bright, and I could see his face clearly. It looked pretty similar to the one in the painting."
Wang Taozhi was so angry that she hit her, "How can you be so bold? It's a good thing he didn't find out. If he had seen you, would you have survived?"
He Xiaojie shrank her neck. Combining it with her aunt's experience, she suddenly felt cold all over when she recalled it.
After all, she didn't have the ability of her younger sister-in-law to fight against the strong man without losing. If it were her, she would probably be killed as soon as they met.
Zheng Yingwei became more and more excited as he listened. "Little comrade, if it's convenient, could you go and take a look at the murderer's body?"
"this……"
He Xiaojie was a little scared, but her strong curiosity eventually overcame everything.
Since she was a child, she especially loved listening to stories about solving crimes. She fantasized that she could be like the ancient judge who could unravel the case and find the bad guys with just a few glances. She thought it was amazing.
When she saw the body, she subconsciously hid behind He Ruixue. After carefully identifying it, she said, "It's him. I have a good memory and I won't mistake him."
Wang Taozhi quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, comrade police officer, my daughter may not be good at studying, but she is definitely an expert at recognizing people. She works at the grain station, and she can recognize almost everyone who comes to pick up grain."
This was also a talent that He Xiaojie discovered later, probably the self-cultivation of a little follower.
When she was studying, she not only had to remember the people in her own class, but also those in He Ruixue's class and the people around her.
She took the initiative to speak out when she was at odds with her aunt-in-law, taking the initiative to gain the upper hand in the argument; she did not try to curry favor with her aunt-in-law, but she also could not offend her either.
Over time, she developed a unique skill in recognizing people, and could basically leave an impression on everyone she met.
Not to mention that the image of the murderer crawling out of the soil like a hibernating bear was so profound that she still remembers it clearly to this day.
