Chapter 47 No supplies?
However, the man on the ground seemed to have grasped at straws and held on to this point tightly. "Really, it's true. I'm not kidding. We really have been together for a long time. Even if I don't agree to break up, you don't have to send someone to arrest me."
The police officer was still very impressed by Lan Jin's story and immediately asked, "You said you were together, and she asked you to come. So when did you get together?"
"We got together years ago. It's hard for her to live alone with a child, so she wanted to rely on me and get money from me. She was the one who took the initiative every time. If she hadn't seduced me, I wouldn't have pried into her house."
Lan Jin said disdainfully, "Nonsense! How could I possibly be with you when I didn't even live here before the Lunar New Year? Besides, I have no money. I'm worth tens of millions, and you actually say I have no money? What a joke."
As Lan Jin was speaking, he walked towards the man on the ground and kicked him several times in the head. The police did not stop him.
She was deeply regretful at this point. Why had she called the police? Couldn't she have just thrown him off the building? She didn't know what the consequences would be. What if he came back within two days? She'd be the first person to seek revenge, and she'd kill him. She'd also be the first person to suspect. How could she possibly survive until she got to the base?
Indeed, in the last days, the most important thing is to act decisively and avoid leaving any future troubles.
But no matter how much Lan Jin regretted it now, things had already happened and could not be changed.
But in fact, there were still many things Lan Jin didn't understand. It was certain that the man in front of her was lying. Now, not only did he steal, but he also wanted to shirk responsibility. Naturally, his crime was even more serious.
And those who were captured during the poisonous fog would not just be locked up. They would all be transported away to do hard labor (building bases), so what Lan Jin was worried about might not really happen.
As for why she didn't know this, it was simply because she was always busy with her 'livelihood' and children's issues in her previous life and couldn't remember these small details at all.
The man on the ground was taken to the police station overnight. After being tortured, the man finally told the truth. In fact, he had noticed Lan Jin a long time ago. Lan Jin was not only good-looking, but also looked very rich. In addition, although many people did not notice when they exchanged contribution points, there were always one or two people who paid attention and knew that they had exchanged a lot of contribution points on the two floors.
So, I made up my mind.
The man in the building had an accomplice, and as soon as the day broke the police came again and took the man away.
Although the two men confessed to the theft, they did not mention the murder at all.
Are they afraid to mention it, or is the murderer someone else?
After two more days of investigation, the police confirmed that the previous case had nothing to do with these two people, so they sent them away.
However, the two men were confused. "Where are we going? Can't we just lock ourselves up inside?"
The police officer sneered, "You're dreaming. Special times have special regulations. Anyone who commits a crime will be transferred to build a base. According to your crimes, you won't be able to come back before three years."
But it doesn't take three years to build a base. To put it bluntly, these people who have committed crimes are treated as bricks and moved wherever they are needed. Only when all the bases are completed can those who have committed minor crimes be sent home.
During this period——
In short, whether you can come back or not is another matter.
These two people had no idea that a simple burglary could be such a serious crime. They looked pale as death, but it was useless to ask for help at this time.
A few minutes later, the two were sent away. No one knew whether they returned home or not.
That afternoon, the police told the community the news, and the community also told Lan Jin and Huang Jinghe the news. Lan Jin finally felt relieved. No matter what, he wouldn't be able to come back for three years. But when it comes to being vigilant, they really can't relax at all.
After being discussed in the group for a few days, this matter finally died down.
The time came for the fourth distribution of supplies, however... the time had come, but the supplies were gone. The residents were confused and sent messages in the group to ask about it.
"No, why are there no supplies? Didn't they distribute them every week before? Today is the perfect time."
"Yes, I'm still waiting for this relief supply to have a full meal."
"It's the same for me. I haven't ordered any food these past two days. I'm waiting for the relief supplies to arrive so I can save two meals for my family. Given the current situation, I wonder if there won't be any."
It really is gone.
The staff member replied, "Didn't everyone exchange their contribution points? These can be used to buy food. Since we have food, we naturally won't have any more relief supplies."
The meaning is very clear, you are not short of money, if you want to eat, buy it yourself.
It's not impossible to buy it yourself, but in this case, there is no transition at all, and no psychological preparation for everyone. Wouldn't it be difficult to accept it for a while?
"But you should have told me in advance. I was really looking forward to it, but after waiting for a few days, there was nothing."
"No, our supplies have been getting less and less. Isn't this a signal? Although I am also looking forward to it, but when I think about it carefully, I understand that it is difficult for the people above. After all, China is too big, how can there be so much supplies to support so many people?"
"But... last time I redeemed contribution points, I didn't get many. I was just testing the waters, and after a few days, I've almost used up all of them. So what should I do next?"
"How do I redeem contribution points? You said last time that they could be redeemed."
"Is anyone from the community here? How can I exchange money at the exchange point? There's only so much money on the card, it wouldn't be enough even if I rely on myself."
The staff member said: "Since everyone was inexperienced in exchanging contribution points last time, the amount exchanged was relatively small. We have specially arranged to exchange contribution points for residents again in the next two days. However, the contribution points will be exchanged once a month from now on, and will be replaced at a specific location. Therefore, please carefully count and confirm that you have enough supplies for a month to avoid insufficient contribution points.
Originally, residents had to go downstairs to exchange supplies themselves, but due to special circumstances, the community will still arrange door-to-door exchanges. Residents are encouraged to take this opportunity to exchange large items at once, which will be convenient for residents who want to exchange them later but are unable to move."
After the previous message was sent, the community staff immediately sent another notice.
