Squad Leader Lin seemed to believe Lin Cheng's words and smiled slightly: "Since there's something wrong with your head, I won't hold it against you. However, you still need to come with us to check."
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Lin Tai had no choice but to have Lin Cheng pack his things and then follow Squad Leader Lin out.
Ah Fei still stared wide-eyed. He already had a bad temper, and being kept from sleeping made him even angrier.
What are they investigating? His uncle is clearly an official, so how dare anyone investigate them?
For Afei, the squad leader of this kind of team had no right to investigate them.
Lin Tai glared at him, telling him to behave.
At this point, they cannot afford any problems, since their identity information is fake. If something really goes wrong and a thorough investigation is conducted, they will definitely be exposed.
The people below only ask questions and carefully verify the authenticity of the household registration and travel permit.
Given Acheng's abilities, ordinary people certainly wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a genuine household registration and a fake travel permit.
Once the time comes, they will be released after passing this hurdle.
Ah Fei was usually afraid of Lin Tai, but seeing Lin Tai's dark face, he didn't dare to cause any trouble.
Squad Leader Lin said that the remaining households would be inspected after these people were sent to their superiors.
Then, Old Man Zou, Li Cuihua, and Director Song should all go along on the trip.
Old Zou glared at Li Cuihua and muttered, "You talk too much. See? You'll have to come along too."
Li Cuihua was filled with regret. Regardless of whether these people had any problems or not, they didn't want to be dragged into this mess.
And judging from the current situation, there's definitely something wrong.
They took them in; just don't frame them for anything and then put them in jail or do hard labor.
Although Director Song didn't understand exactly what had happened, he was certain that something was wrong with the person Old Zou had taken in.
If this drags him down, he'll have nowhere to turn for help.
He glared at Old Man Zou and Li Cuihua, thinking, "How could these two idiots have actually taken in someone with problems?"
But no matter how hard Director Song thought about it, he couldn't figure out what was wrong with these people.
He quietly approached Squad Leader Lin and whispered, "Sir, is there something wrong with these men?"
Squad Leader Lin angrily rebuked him: "Stop asking around, you'll find out when you get there."
Director Song immediately shut up, praying in his heart that nothing bad would happen, otherwise he would be finished.
Squad Leader Lin found these men suspicious, so he dared not let one or two soldiers deliver them to their superiors.
He had no choice but to personally lead all the soldiers in his class together.
He personally escorted several people to Company Commander Zhao.
Because the platoon leader also led a team to check personnel, anyone who seemed suspicious was sent directly to the company commander.
Company Commander Zhao did not sleep; he personally sent men to detain those who were searching for their hometown, according to their villages.
Wait for the command above.
Company Commander Zhao was puzzled. What was going on? Why did the higher-ups order them to detain all the people from Xunwang Township in the county town?
He didn't understand, but that didn't stop him from carrying out orders.
At this moment, Deputy Company Commander Hao Dasheng stepped in.
He had a loud voice and came from a farming background, but he loved to practice with knives and sticks, which actually made him quite skilled.
"Company Commander, Xiao Lin has found a few suspicious people. Although their household registration is not from Xunwang Township, their accents are. You should investigate them personally."
"Oh? Such a thing actually happened?"
"Could there be a mistake? The people around Xunwang Township all have similar accents."
Hao Dasheng chuckled: "Xiao Lin said that his household registration is in Guojiatun Township. The accent of Guojiatun Township is similar to that of Tongxian County, which is next door, but it is completely different from the accent of Xunwang Township."
"Wow, Kobayashi's not bad, he even knows that."
Hao Dasheng gets excited whenever he has something to do.
"Company commander, let's interrogate them together. If we can catch the person the higher-ups want, we'll have made a great contribution."
Such a search is definitely going to involve searching for people.
"good."
"Someone, let Xiao Lin in and bring those people in."
"yes."
A short while later, Squad Leader Lin led Lin Tai and the others in.
"Company commander, I've brought the man. You can ask him questions. I still need to lead the brothers to check the last few houses."
Company Commander Zhao waved his hand: "You don't need to go. You still need to explain the whole story to me in detail."
"Hao Dasheng".
"exist."
"Send someone else to investigate the last few companies."
"yes."
Hao Dasheng immediately sent someone to check on the interrogation.
Company Commander Zhao, being cautious, ordered someone to take Lin Tai and the others away first.
Then, Lin, the squad leader, and his soldiers recounted the situation to verify that nothing had been missed.
Then they had Old Man Zou and Li Cuihua recount the story again.
Finally, let Director Song say it again.
After several parties verified the information, the whole story became clear.
Company Commander Zhao asked Squad Leader Lin, "Were the men you brought here brought along because of their accents?"
Squad Leader Lin immediately assured him, "I absolutely didn't let them know. When I reported to the deputy company commander, I did it behind the backs of a few people."
"Good, good, Xiaolin is diligent in his work, not bad, not bad."
Squad Leader Lin was pleased, thankful that he had been careful at the time.
Company Commander Zhao had the clerk record the statements, and then had everyone sign their names and affix their fingerprints.
Company Commander Zhao first had someone bring over the two hired workers.
When the two men arrived, they looked grim. They were servants, but the village head had said that they shouldn't be called servants in public; they should be called hired laborers.
The two men immediately knelt down: "Sir."
Observing the two men's behavior, Company Commander Zhao knew that they must be used to being servants.
"What are your names, where are you from, and what do you do?"
An elderly man with black spots said, “My name is Lin Da. I used to be a servant of my young master. Later, my young master said that there was an order from above to release me from slavery. But because I had nowhere to go and was all alone, I continued to work for my young master, but as a hired hand.”
"Hmm, what's the name of this young master you're talking about?"
“My son is Wang Tai from Guojiatun Township.”
"good."
Then Company Commander Zhao looked at another person whose face was slightly yellow and asked, "And you?"
The other man immediately kowtowed: "My name is Lin Er, and Lin Da is my cousin. Like my cousin, I am now your servant."
Company Commander Zhao saw that what the two men said was indeed consistent with what was recorded on their household registration.
But his face darkened: "Are you telling the truth?"
"That's the truth, of course. I wouldn't dare to deceive you, sir."
"Okay, let's sign and put our fingerprints on it first."
When the two men heard that they had to sign and put their fingerprints on something, they panicked a little. They thought it was a routine questioning, but it felt like an interrogation.
But they dared not refuse to sign and put their fingerprints on the document.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and sign the document.
Thinking everything was over, Company Commander Zhao continued to ask, "Which part of Guojiatun Township are you from?"
"Guojiatun Township is a place in the countryside."
"How were you sold into slavery in the first place?"
