Chapter 132 Going to Qin City
It is difficult for Li Min to sue Wu Qianjin. It has been so long since the incident, and there is definitely no physical evidence. It is basically impossible to obtain evidence.
But it's easier said than done.
After all, Wu Qianjin had brought a group of friends to the train station and kidnapped Li Min back home in a grand manner.
At that time, he was unscrupulous and had no scruples, and he didn't even think about betraying anyone.
So anyone who saw this scene at that time would definitely be able to find it as long as they looked carefully.
In addition, Wu Qianjin's behavior was extremely bad at the time. When he raped Li Min, he didn't even drive his group of friends out in order to show off his strength. Those people heard the whole thing outside the house.
There were seven or eight people in this group, and Li Min remembered each one clearly.
Moreover, most of them have been in contact with Wu Qianjin over the years, so it is too easy to find them!
After hearing Li Min’s report, the comrades in the branch were stunned, and then they slammed the table in anger!
Thinking of the scene at that time, everyone's eyes were filled with anger and they gritted their teeth.
If it weren't for discipline, he would have gone to the temporary detention room and beaten Wu Qianjin severely!
Among the people arrested today for gambling, two of them were actually involved in the rape case that year.
In order to prevent them from colluding with each other, the police interrogated them separately at the time.
After being locked up in the cell for two days and then being escorted from the police station to the branch, both of them were almost scared to death.
When they heard that they were going to ask about what Wu Qianjin had done, the two of them told the whole story without hesitation, without any intention of covering up for him.
They now hated Wu Qianjin to the core and felt that they were all implicated by him.
In line with the principle of leniency to those who confess, they not only told all the details of the rape case, but also confessed all the thefts, extortions and robberies that Wu Qianjin had committed in the years before.
Both of them thought that they could leave early if they behaved nicely, completely unaware that they were also accomplices.
According to the two men's explanation, all the accomplices were quickly found.
Most of these people are small-time hooligans who are not clean in the first place. Add to this incident, even if it were normal times, they would have to spend several years in jail.
What's more, now there is an order from the district to deal with the case severely and strictly, so they will probably have to prepare to spend their retirement in prison.
In addition to these gangsters, there is another special person in this group of people, that is the driver from that year.
At that time, Wu Qianjin's uncle was the director of the Revolutionary Committee. As the only son of the entire family, Wu Qianjin could be said to be one of the most powerful figures in the entire Yuncheng.
Even though there are only a few cars in Yuncheng, he can use it whenever he wants.
When he led his men to rob Li Min, he used the Revolutionary Committee's car, and the driver was also a regular driver of the Revolutionary Committee.
Later, the movement ended and drivers with regular positions like him were assigned to various units.
This person performed well and had good driving skills. Now he has become the exclusive driver of the director of the textile factory.
He is also a person who has a say in the factory.
He was just about to send a car to the factory manager when the police station came with an arrest warrant to arrest someone. Everyone was stunned by this situation.
After he was arrested, the director of the textile factory went to the police station to inquire about the situation. After learning about the whole incident, he was so shocked that he couldn't believe it.
In the words of the factory director -
How could such an honest person do such a thing!
It is true that you can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart.
With so many people testifying, the incident being so terrible, and the impact being so great, although the verdict for Wu Qianjin has not yet been announced, what awaits him may not be a retirement home in prison, but a peanut.
While the comrades in the branch were busy investigating Li Min's case, Shi Xiaoai and her family had already boarded the train to Qin City.
This trip included their family of four, including Kaikai.
Cheng Lin did as his brother said and stayed behind to look after the house.
Mingrui, Mingxi and Kaikai had all taken a train before, but they all sat in hard seat carriages.
The long road was crowded with people, the air was polluted and smelly, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
This time, Cheng Yang asked someone to buy sleeper berths for the whole family early on, and the conditions were naturally very different from before.
Because Mingrui, Mingxi and Kaikai are not tall enough or old enough, they only need to buy half-price tickets.
But Cheng Yang was afraid that the sleeper berths were too small for several people to fit in, so he simply booked a luxurious soft sleeper compartment. The four berths were enough for the whole family to rest comfortably.
The three children had never ridden on a train like this before and were all very excited.
After getting in the car, they all leaned against the windows to look out and chatted loudly.
The two adults were completely forgotten.
Although the three of them are uncle and nephew, the age difference between them is so small that they are actually almost like brothers.
In addition, since the adults are usually busy, the three of them spend the most time together and have the most common language, so they can never have enough to talk about when they are together.
Seeing them like this, Xiao Ai, who had been worried that the children would be bored due to the long journey, was completely relieved.
"I'll go out and get some hot water. If you're tired, take a rest first." Cheng Yang picked up the thermos fixed under the small table and said considerately.
Shi Xiaoai agreed, and as expected, she lay down on the bunk obediently and closed her eyes.
To be honest, Xiao Ai was exhausted during this period.
Ever since Shi Daxi and his friends started causing trouble and the people in Courtyard No. 1 targeted the tea stall, it has been several months and Shi Xiaoai's nerves have been on edge.
Sometimes she even felt that she had no control over herself and was pushed forward by various things. Many things had to be done this way.
One thing follows another, and every day I am in a hurry and busy. I dare not slack off at all, let alone have time to relax.
This time, although she was accompanying Cheng Yang to attend a comrade-in-arms gathering, Shi Xiaoai preferred to regard it as an opportunity to give herself a rest.
She really longed for this state where she could ignore everything and let go completely.
The wheels rolled on the rails, making a monotonous and rhythmic clicking sound.
Amidst such sounds, accompanied by the children's laughter, Shi Xiaoai fell asleep unknowingly.
She slept very soundly, and her mind was even briefly clear in the middle. She heard the cautious rustling sounds of several people next to her.
But in the blink of an eye she fell asleep again.
When she woke up again, it was already dark and the carriage was dimly lit.
Seeing her open her eyes, Cheng Yang asked softly, "Awake?"
"Yeah." Shi Xiaoai rubbed her eyes, looked out the window at the pitch-black darkness, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What time is it? How long have I slept?"
"It's almost eight o'clock. Sister-in-law, you can sleep a lot. You slept for a whole day!" Kaikai said in amazement.
It’s almost eight o’clock!
Shi Xiaoai was also surprised this time.
You have to know that the train leaves at around nine in the morning, which means she slept for the whole day, almost a whole hour!
"Why did I sleep for so long? You didn't even call me." She glared at Cheng Yang reproachfully, then climbed up from the bunk.
Cheng Yang was not angry when being complained about. He smiled and brought the shoes to Shi Xiaoai, and wanted to put them on for her, but Shi Xiaoai dodged him.
He took an enamel pot from the table and handed it to me: "Here's some water for you, drink some, and then we'll go to the dining car to eat."
Shi Xiaoai was a little surprised: "Is the food truck still open now?"
"I asked before, and the stir-fry restaurant is always open." Cheng Yang explained.
In fact, they brought some food with them before getting on the bus this time, but not much.
Because a long time ago, when Xiao Ai was in the previous world, she had read countless online articles, all of which mentioned how delicious and affordable the meals provided in the train dining cars at that time were.
She was really curious.
So before coming, she discussed with Cheng Yang that they must try the food in the dining car on the train this time!
She thought she would sleep through it, but she didn't expect that she would actually be able to catch up.
Shi Xiaoai suddenly became energetic.
She patted her son's butt, who was lying on the upper bunk and grinning at her, and asked, "Did you go to the dining car for lunch?"
Mingrui shook his head: "No, we had braised pork rice for lunch. Dad said that we should wait until you wake up and then go there as a family."
Shi Xiaoai reached out and lifted him down from the upper bunk, saying, "Come on, let's go eat now."
In fact, the children were already suffocating.
Although it was fun on the train, their dad/brother kept forbidding them to talk loudly, and they were already getting quite impatient.
At this moment, Xiao Ai finally woke up, and the little ones ran out first, cheering and jumping.
If Cheng Yang hadn't chased after him and grabbed him, he would have disappeared in an instant.
The family walked through the adjacent cars and made their way to the dining car located in the middle of the train.
The dining car was already beautifully decorated at that time, at least it looked much more grand than the ordinary carriages.
The entire carriage was filled with high-backed leather seats facing each other. The table in the middle was covered with a snow-white crocheted tablecloth. A glass was pressed on the tablecloth, and on top of it was a small white porcelain vase with a plastic flower in it.
There are festive paper streamers hanging above the carriage, which looks very lively.
But it was obviously past dinner time now, and most of the lights were off, leaving only a few, which looked dim.
Seeing them coming, a chef in a white chef's uniform standing at the back shouted: "The lunch boxes are sold out!"
"Let's come over to eat some stir-fried dishes. Are they still available?" Cheng Yang replied loudly.
Hearing that they were here to eat stir-fried dishes, the passengers who had purchased seats and were taking a break in the dining car all looked over with envy.
At the same time, a female conductor in train uniform came over and led them to the innermost table.
The conductor turned on the lights above their heads and handed them a handwritten cardboard with a lot of dish names written on it.
Shi Xiaoai took it and took a look at it, and her heart skipped a beat.
It’s really expensive!
A plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes costs 1.5 yuan, a plate of spicy diced chicken costs 2.8 yuan, and the braised carp is even more outrageous, costing 3.5 yuan!
By this calculation, one meal would cost an average worker half a month's salary.
Who said the food on the dining car is affordable at this time?
Shi Xiaoai gritted her teeth and complained in her heart.
Seeing the children staring at her eagerly, Shi Xiaoai couldn't say anything even though she was disgusted. She gritted her teeth and ordered four dishes: Kung Pao Chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork, Twice-Cooked Pork, and Mapo Tofu.
In the end, we ordered four bowls of rice, and one bowl was enough for Mingrui and Mingxi.
After she finished ordering, Cheng Yang took the menu and ordered a seaweed vermicelli soup, then handed the menu back to the conductor.
The female train attendant obviously didn't expect that someone would order so many dishes at once so late at night. She looked at the few people curiously, then took the menu and left.
Since no one else ordered, the food came out very quickly.
When the meals were served one by one, Shi Xiaoai finally understood why so many people said that the food on the train was affordable.
Because, although it is expensive, the quantity is large!
Four dishes filled the entire table.
Moreover, the dishes on the plate were filled to the brim, and they were all real meat, not just for show.
Kaikai, Mingrui and Mingxi ate with great relish. They didn't need any supervision from the adults. They just held their bowls and ate without even raising their heads.
Although they usually have no shortage of oil and water, and can eat whatever they want in the store, generally speaking, they rarely go out to restaurants and don't eat out often.
They enjoyed the meal very much.
The same goes for Cheng Yang.
You can’t tell at ordinary times, but probably the food he eats at school is very ordinary, so his eyes lit up when he saw twice-cooked pork.
There were so many dishes that after he was sure that Xiao Ai and the children couldn't finish them, he also ate his fill.
It can be said that the whole family has never eaten so heartily and happily before. Even Shi Xiaoai ate too much without realizing it.
Kaikai put down his chopsticks and burped, then patted his belly contentedly and said, "I really can't eat any more."
Mingrui and Mingxi nodded in agreement and patted their bellies together.
Cheng Yang smiled, poured all the leftover rice from the children into the large plate containing the twice-cooked pork, then pulled it in front of him and ate it while mixing it with a spoon.
Seeing this, Xiao Ai laughed out loud in shock. She reached out and patted him, saying, "Why do you look like I've been abusing you? Don't overeat. We have plenty of food at home. I'll make it for you when we get home. In addition to twice-cooked pork, we also make pork with preserved vegetables and braised pork. I'll make sure you have enough to eat."
Cheng Yang didn't react to what she said, and everyone sitting in the seats next to her swallowed subconsciously.
Cheng Yang also laughed, and then explained: "I'm far from full. It's okay. I just don't want to waste it."
After hearing what he said, Shi Xiaoai said nothing.
Because their family was so conspicuous in the dining car, they didn't want to stay here any longer.
After Cheng Yang cleaned up the dishes, they stood up and prepared to return to the box.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance, and the sound was getting closer and louder.
Soon, several people came running over from the adjacent carriage, nervously whispering, "Bag checking! Bag checking! Everyone, pay attention!"
Cheng Yang stretched out his hand and protected several people behind him to prevent them from being hit by those who were running.
His brows were furrowed, and there was a thoughtful glint in his eyes, as if he didn't understand what these people meant.
Shi Xiaoai already understood.
She raised an eyebrow and thought to herself, "Is it already checked now? Starting so early?"
