198 Unsolved Case

A deep male voice came from outside the window: "I am Ming Rilang."

Su Taotao was still in a daze. She couldn't remember if it was Ming Rilang's voice. After a while, she said, "It's not appropriate for me to open the window. If you have something to say, just tell me."

Ming Rilang also knew that he was being rude, and said through the window:

"It is like this, today's joint action was very successful. In the action just now, a comrade named Cao Guohua helped us a lot.

He said he didn't need any praise, and if possible he hoped we could take you to the downtown train station. We happen to have a car that can take you there. If you need it, our car can pick you up at six in the morning."

Su Taotao was confused. There is a ride? That would be the best. Otherwise, she would have to take a tractor to the county seat, then take a bus from the county seat to the city, and then take a train from the city. How troublesome.

"Sure, thank you, but we have one adult and three children, do you have enough space?"

Ming Rilang said, "Yes, Comrade Cao has told us about this. A large truck will come overnight. You can take our truck."

Su Taotao: "Okay, thank you first."

Ming Rilang: "You're welcome. We'll pick you up at six o'clock."

Su Taotao thanked him, went back to the bedside, picked up her watch and saw that it was already four o'clock. She packed up her things and made breakfast. It was actually about time.

Su Taotao thought she hadn't alarmed anyone. When she walked out of the room, Zhou Linglan had already gotten up.

"I heard a noise, is everything ok?"

Su Taotao nodded: "It's okay, the police said there is a ride-hailing service that can take us to the train station, which is much more convenient."

Zhou Linglan nodded: "That's great, is everything going well?"

Su Taotao: "Everything went well."

She thought about it and decided not to tell her that Cao Guohua was going to help.

Both of them were quick and efficient and they quickly prepared breakfast. Half an hour later, the fried snails that the children liked were also served.

Before going to bed last night, Zhou Linglan had already cooked rice porridge on the stove over charcoal fire so that she could eat it directly when she woke up.

In addition, she baked a lot of pancakes, boiled all the eggs at home, and cooked a large bag of sweet potatoes, intending to feed the public security comrades.

I also brought along the cool potatoes that the two kids picked yesterday. The cool potatoes at this time of year are tender and juicy, and eating them is very thirst-quenching.

At five o'clock, Su Taotao went to wake up the children on time.

Fu Yuanhang and Mumu were fine, but Chenchen was sleeping so soundly that Su Taotao couldn't bear to wake him up. She planned to let him sleep a little longer and get up before six o'clock. He could just have a pancake and an egg in the car anyway.

Fu Yuanhang and Mumu usually get up at six o'clock. Now they only have to get up an hour earlier, which is still acceptable.

Especially when there are appetizers like fried snails with sour bamboo shoots early in the morning, Mumu feels that it is okay for him not to sleep!

After breakfast and cleaning up, the sky was already white in the east, so Su Taotao went to wake up Chenchen and ask him to wash up.

When Chenchen finished washing up and put on his small schoolbag, the public security officer's car happened to be parked outside.

"Chenchen, this is the new schoolbag that grandma made for you. You can carry it to go to school when the time comes."

Chenchen happily took it. This schoolbag was a little bigger than his original one. Not only was it embroidered with his white ribbon, but it could also hold more things. Chenchen was very satisfied and hugged Zhou Linglan, not wanting to let go: "Thank you, grandma~~"

When writing the letter before, Fu Yuanhang mentioned Bai Bai to Zhou Linglan, but he didn't expect that she would actually embroider it.

Zhou Linglan took out two more large schoolbags: "This one is Ah Hang's, and this one is Mu Mu's."

Mumu picked it up and saw that his and Fu Yuanhang's backpacks were almost identical except for the dog patterns on the left and right.

Mumu happily took it and pointed at the dog pattern and asked Fu Yuanhang: "Does it look like Dahei and Baibai?

"My godmother's craftsmanship is really good. I have been making Ah Hang's schoolbag for a long time. Thank you, godmother. From now on, Ah Hang and I can carry our brother's schoolbags to go to school. This way, people will know that we are brothers at a glance!"

Fu Yuanhang looked at him speechlessly: "My last name is Fu, and your last name is Mo."

Mumu said: "Ahhang, you really have no sense of humor at all."

Zhou Linglan carried a lot of bags and saw them out the door reluctantly.

All three children's eyes turned red.

"Mother, you promised to come during the New Year."

Zhou Linglan nodded: "Okay, I will definitely go."

The driver was Ming Rilang himself. Zhou Linglan gave him the pancakes, eggs, and sweet potatoes she had prepared: "Thank you for your hard work, Public Security Comrade. Keep these for the journey."

Ming Rilang repeatedly declined: "Madam, this is inappropriate. We public servants are determined not to take a single needle or thread from the public. You are making me make a mistake by doing this."

Su Taotao took it and put it directly in the car, along with the cold potatoes. "It's shameful to waste food. If you don't eat it after it's cooked, it would be a real mistake if it goes bad. There's no need to make such a serious statement about a bite of breakfast. You're scaring the old man."

Ming Rilang didn't know what to say, so he could only thank her repeatedly and help Su Taotao carry the luggage into the car.

This was a spacious seven-seater car. Perhaps in order not to attract attention, Ming Rilang was not driving a police car.

The last row was already full, and Su Taotao and the other children were sitting in the middle row.

After settling down, Su Taotao waved to Zhou Linglan and said, "Go back, Mom. We'll see each other again during the New Year."

Zhou Linglan waved at them: "I know, have a safe trip."

At this time, Mumu poked his head out and said, "Mother, the sandals I bought before are a gift for you. They are under the table in the living room. Remember to wear them."

Zhou Linglan looked at Mumu lovingly and nodded: "Okay, thank you Mumu, I know how to wear it."

As the car moved forward, Zhou Linglan did not go into the house, but waved vigorously at the car from behind.

In the alley behind her, Cao Guohua's figure was still hidden in a corner where no one could see him.

The hardworking neighbors also got up and heard the sound of cars coming out. They asked Zhou Linglan:

"Zhengtu mother, Ah Hang and the others left again?"

"Yes, they came to pick us up in a big car. It's really impressive."

"Zhengtu, who are they? Why are they here to pick me up so early?"

…

Zhou Linglan smiled and said, "I'm not sure about what Mumu's father arranged."

Mumu has been carrying the pot on his back since he entered the village and has never put it down.

"It's good that my son is successful. Even his friends are successful."

"Oh, by the way, did you hear? A big thief was caught last night!"

Zhou Linglan shook her head and said, "Yes, we heard the sound, but we went to bed early last night. Aren't we going to hurry today?"

The lady next door: "Let me tell you, we caught a lot of thieves last night. I heard they were cattle and pig thieves. They were responsible for the recent theft of pigs and cattle in the neighboring county. I heard they were lurking in the hills near us, planning to attack our team. Fortunately, they were all caught."

The other woman waved her hands and said nonchalantly, "No, it's not that place. It's obviously that place, over in the Green Moon Valley. They keep several women, all of them are very pretty. Men can go there and have fun as long as they give them money and tickets."

Wherever there is gossip, there are aunties. Almost immediately, the topic has shifted from "Su Taotao was picked up by a car early in the morning" to something else:

"Yes, yes, yes, I heard that too. Someone caught them in adultery last night and took the two of them to the brigade office. Oh, I heard that they were embracing each other with their clothes in disarray. It seems that Mumu's father even went to track down the culprit."

"How could that be possible? Someone was clearly working in Aunt Wang's cucumber field and crushed all of Aunt Wang's cucumbers."

"Why do we need to open the wooden warehouse to catch adulterers?"

"It wasn't the sound of opening the warehouse, it was the sound of breaking the door."

"Your house is constantly making noises of breaking into doors?"

"How should I know? My house has never been broken into."

"Oh my god, this is so unlucky. You should go home and ask your spouse if he has been to Green Moon Valley recently. Maybe he has been fooled by those bitches."

"Bah!" Several ladies glared at her at the same time, "Your husband is the one who went to Green Moon Valley to have an affair!"

…

In short, last night's joint operation became an unsolved case, and no one knows what happened.

They didn't even know that Su Taotao's family and Cao Guohua had done good deeds.

It is just an important topic of conversation among members after dinner. As for what the truth is, it seems that no one cares much.
