Chu Jingqiu asked quietly, "After you posted the notice to identify the body, where was the victim identified? Who was this victim?"
Gu Weimin sighed and said in a deep voice, "We have posted portraits in every village in the county. Yesterday afternoon, Cheng Jinbao, a member of the Shannan Brigade, came to the town police station.
He said one of the two men was his father and the other was his uncle.
Oh, his uncle is the father of Du Aimin, a member of your Qingshan Brigade.
That year, on the eve of the Japanese surrender, a group of young and middle-aged men were captured from the Shannan Brigade, which was closest to the Daqing Mountains.
It is said that they helped the Japanese army build bunkers, but these people never came back.
When he was arrested, Du Aimin's father was helping his mother-in-law repair the roof of her house in Shannan Brigade, so he was also arrested.
I came to your brigade today to inform Du Aimin's family. For some reason, Du Aimin's family didn't come to claim the body.
Oh, by the way, Section Chief Zhou also asked me to give you the subsidies for the two portraits I gave us."
After saying that, he took out 100 yuan and some bills from his pocket and handed them to Chu Jingqiu.
Chu Jingqiu took the money, thanked Gu Weimin, and then went back to the educated youth site with Shi Aihong and the others.
------------
Beijing City, a certain military office.
Qi Yue walked in from outside, exhausted. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Brother, there are your letters and packages. I have retrieved them for you."
Xiao Yihan was reading a document, without even looking up, and whispered, "Put it on the sofa next to you! I'll look at it later."
Then he thought of something and asked casually, "Who sent it?"
Qi Yue washed his face and was wiping his hands. "Who else could it be? Of course it's my sister-in-law!"
A smile immediately appeared on Xiao Yihan's calm face. He hurried to the sofa and quickly opened the letter to read it.
Qi Yue was stunned by the speed at which his brother's expression changed. He forgot to wipe his face with the towel in his hand and just stood there.
In the letter, Chu Jingqiu first wrote about some interesting things that happened to him in Qingshan Brigade, and then reminded him to live a regular life and not stay up late.
She used the next line of the same poem Xiao Yihan wrote to her, "The sea has a shore, but my longing for you has no end," to express her longing for Xiao Yihan.
Finally, I told him that I had sent him a package and asked him to check it carefully.
Xiao Yihan opened the package and found that Chu Jingqiu had sent him valuable medicinal materials such as Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, kudzu root powder, Panax notoginseng, and cordyceps.
There were also some nuts, dried meat, air-dried rabbit and air-dried chicken; two white shirts and two woolen sweaters were also sent to Xiao Yihan.
Chu Jingqiu specifically instructed Xiao Yihan to give these herbs to the elders at home, as they would be beneficial to their health.
Qi Yue looked at the pile of things in the package and said enviously, "Brother, these things my sister-in-law sent you are worth a lot of money!
My sister-in-law is so nice to you. If I had a partner like her, I would definitely be grinning from ear to ear."
Xiao Yihan glanced at him sideways, and said with a look of dismay, "Don't you have a partner? I heard that you're having a hot affair with that pillar of the art troupe."
"Brother, you know all this. I thought you were just a workaholic who didn't care about anything else. Who told you that?" He glanced at the guard Xiao Xu.
Xiao Xu was so frightened that he shook his head hurriedly, "It wasn't me, I didn't say that."
Qi Yue curled his lips and said, "I didn't say anything about you, why are you feeling guilty? Brother, I didn't provoke that pillar, she came to me."
Xiao Yihan laughed angrily, "Don't worry about who is looking for whom. Anyway, you two are mixed up. Can't you find a proper partner? Change one today, change one tomorrow. Everyone in the troupe knows that you have a partner from the art troupe."
Qi Yue said with a bitter face, "Brother, I am more wronged than Dou E. I still haven't found a partner, and it's all your fault.
Those female comrades are not attracted to me at all, but to you. They approach me deliberately just to find out your preferences and ask me to say good things about them in front of you.
In the end, you didn't like any of them and rejected them all, and in the end I got a bad reputation for being a playboy.
Wang Yingying, the mainstay of the art troupe, is the daughter of our teacher. She came to see me because of you.
As soon as the consolation performance ended that day, she found Xiao Xu and asked about you. Xiao Xu pushed her to me and slipped away.
I had no choice but to deal with her. Who knew that she would come to me whenever she was free? She said she was looking for me, but actually she was talking about you. In order to prevent her from disturbing your work, I told her that you had a partner.
Look, she hasn't come these past two days. This is all thanks to my endurance."
Just as he finished speaking, someone outside called out, "Captain Qi, Comrade Wang Yingying is looking for you."
Qi Yue looked at Xiao Yihan for help. Xiao Yihan's mouth twitched and he waved his hand to signal him to go out.
Qi Yue had a bitter face and had to go out to deal with Wang Yingying by himself.
At this time, the office phone rang. Xiao Yihan quickly picked up the phone and answered it. After listening to the other party's report, his face gradually became serious.
We just received news that the remains of two villagers who were captured by the Japanese army were found near Daqing Mountain. This further proves that these villagers were killed by the Japanese army near Daqing Mountain.
The Daqing Mountains stretch for more than 800 kilometers. If there is really gold buried there, and there are no clues to find it, it would be as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.
This matter can only be considered in the long term. The Japanese burial site will definitely be mapped. The best way is to find the Japanese map.
This is not an easy task. He has been looking for Ma Mengjiao's superior for so many years but still hasn't found her. He will definitely not give up.
Ma Zhanshan came for the gold of Daqingshan. He would definitely contact Ma Mengjiao's superiors and maintain strict control around Daqingshan.
I just don’t believe that we can’t catch Ma Zhanshan. Thinking of this, Xiao Yihan’s frown relaxed.
Today was a day of many good things. First, he received a letter from Chu Jingqiu and a large package sent to him. Now, facts proved that his idea was correct.
Chu Jingqiu made another great contribution by confirming the identity of the corpse. This also determined the direction of his future work and avoided many detours.
He now misses this beautiful and smart girl very much. After finishing the work at hand, he will go to Daqingshan in person to see her, and then he will be able to see Xiaoqiu.
He hasn't been home for several days. He is in a good mood today and plans to go home in the evening to bring some medicinal herbs and other things to his grandfather.
He looked at his watch and saw it was getting late, so he took his package and walked out of the office, planning to go to the parking lot to drive.
Just when he was halfway there, a very beautiful girl blocked his way.
"Hello, Captain Xiao, I'm Wang Yingying from the military art troupe. I've often heard my father mention you.
After meeting you in person, I feel that your reputation is well-deserved. I would like to invite you to watch my performance. Do you have time?"
