The two soldiers took Zhao Jiuxiang to the interrogation room and left.
A charcoal basin was lit in the interrogation room, and the temperature was higher than that in the detention room. The smell of urine on Zhao Jiuxiang's body became stronger.
Zhao Jiuxiang wanted to get close to Lu Changzheng, but when she smelled the smell of urine on her body, she smiled awkwardly and silently took a few steps back.
Lu Changzheng pointed to the interrogation chair and said to Zhao Jiuxiang: "Auntie, sit down."
After Zhao Jiuxiang sat down, he raised his handcuffed hands with a smile and said, "His third uncle, can these handcuffs be removed? I am really not a spy."
Lu Changzheng did not answer, but said: "Tell me, aunt, what do you want to say to me?"
Zhao Jiuxiang coughed awkwardly and lowered her voice: "I went to Lao Shitou's house that night."
"Oh, what are you doing there?" Lu Changzheng took out his notebook and started recording.
Zhao Jiuxiang was confused and didn't know what to say. Seeing Lu Changzheng writing, he became anxious and said, "His uncle, please don't write. I'm just telling you, I'm not a spy."
Lu Changzheng still kept writing and said calmly: "Why did you go to Lao Shitou's house? Steal? Or have an affair?"
Zhao Jiuxiang began to feel uneasy. She felt that she had done something wrong.
She shouldn't think that his third uncle is a relative and that he would care about the relationship and cover for her. From the look on his face, he might just want to kill his relatives out of righteousness.
Zhao Jiuxiang kept silent again.
Lu Changzheng looked up at her and saw that she had stopped talking again, so he said, "Auntie, if you don't want to tell me, I'll ask someone to find Lao Shitou, or ask Uncle or Fubao to tell you."
Fubao is Zhao Jiuxiang's son.
Zhao Jiuxiang had given birth to five daughters before giving birth to such a son. He had been treated like a baby since he was a child, and he was doted on.
Sure enough, Zhao Jiuxiang became anxious when he mentioned Fubao.
"His third uncle, you can't do this. We are relatives. If this matter spreads, my family will be unlucky and your family will be disgraced."
Lu Changzheng sneered. They had separated their families. It would not hinder his family. At most, his second brother would be embarrassed. But as for the wife I want to marry, I am responsible for both good and bad things.
"Auntie, if you tell the truth, I won't look for anyone. If there is no crime, I can also ask someone to keep your secret."
Seeing that Lu Changzheng looked like he was going to arrest him immediately if he didn't say anything, Zhao Jiuxiang said in a voice like a mosquito, "No, I didn't steal anything, I just went to his house to chat for a while."
But if you go to chat in the middle of the night, anyone can guess what you are doing.
No wonder I dare to say that the issue of work style is now strictly enforced. In rural terms, if you break your shoes, you will be arrested, shaved, and paraded in the streets.
If this kind of thing is discovered in normal times, the brigade will handle it privately, and it is not impossible not to report it.
But it's a special period for catching spies, so it's hard to hide it. As for how to deal with it, it depends on the wishes of the commune cadres.
Lu Changzheng guessed that this matter would most likely be suppressed and left to the brigade to handle it themselves.
The county must have made great efforts to invite so many news media to show off its achievements. They will not let this matter discredit the advanced brigade.
Therefore, he is not worried that the Lujiacun brigade will be discredited as an advanced brigade because of this incident.
Lu Changzheng did not continue to ask, but went out and asked someone to bring Zhao Jiuxiang back to the detention room, and then asked someone to bring Lao Shitou.
He will not just believe Zhao Jiuxiang's words. Everything must be based on evidence, and the confessions of both parties must be consistent.
*****
Lao Shitou has been worried since Zhao Jiuxiang was arrested.
He is a widower. His wife and son died of illness a few years ago. His two daughters also got married early. Now he is the only one in the family.
Hearing that the police said they would take him to the police station to ask about the situation, he was almost paralyzed with fear. When I arrived at the police station, I didn't even need to ask any questions. I just told him everything as if I was pouring the beans.
Although the village is big, there will be some troubles, but everyone's outlook on life was still shocked.
This old Shitou was good friends with Lu Guihua's father, Lu Yougen, and often visited his house. Zhao Jiuxiang was indeed pretty good-looking when he was young. As time passed, Old Shitou started to think about it.
Seeing that Lu Gui's flowers were all daughters, Lao Shitou instigated Lu Yougen to come up with the idea of borrowing seeds. At that time, Lu Yougen had given birth to five daughters and could not hold his head high in the village. He was not very popular in the village. He was bewitched by Old Shitou and agreed.
He also thought that it would be better to benefit his own brother than to benefit others, so he asked Lao Shitou to come.
Because Zhao Jiuxiang gave birth to daughters, she couldn't hold her head high in front of her husband. Naturally, he took whatever he said.
In the end, I don’t know whether it was luck or something else, but I actually gave birth to a son.
Now, all three people were happy.
Lu Yougen had a son and gained face; Zhao Jiuxiang had a son and gained confidence; Lao Shitou achieved his dream and gained another son who did not have to be raised by himself.
In the beginning, they still lived their own lives.
Later, Lao Shitou's wife and son all died of illness one after another, so Lao Shitou focused all his attention on Fubao. He would bring anything delicious to Fubao, and the two families gradually became more and more lively.
Zhao Jiuxiang and Lao Shitou also slowly got along with each other. It was a difficult time at that time. Lu Yougen was happy to have someone to help raise his son, so he turned a blind eye and sometimes covered up for them.
It is precisely because of Lu Yougen's acquiescence that Zhao Jiuxiang and Lao Shitou have not been discovered for so many years.
Or maybe someone discovered it, but the person who discovered it was kind-hearted and didn't say anything about it. If it hadn't been for the arrest of spies this time, this matter probably wouldn't have come out.
After everyone listened, they all marveled inwardly that there was such a cuckold in the world.
The forest is really big and there are all kinds of birds.
After the interrogation, Lao Shitou was also taken to the interrogation room and locked up, which happened to be the same as Zhao Jiuxiang.
When Zhao Jiuxiang saw Lao Shitou, she was also shocked, "Why did they arrest you?" Didn't she stop arresting you after she confessed?
Suddenly, Zhao Jiuxiang thought of something and asked in horror: "Did you tell everything? Did you tell me about Fubao?"
"Didn't you say it first? If you didn't say it, could they arrest me?" Old Shitou was panicking.
Zhao Jiuxiang hit the old stone with her hands, crying while beating, "I only talked about going to your house that night, not Fu Bao. You little brat, if you tell me this, how can Fu Bao still be here in the future?" Team work.”
Her lucky treasure will be stabbed in the spine from now on.
Zhao Jiuxiang cried extremely sadly. She thought that at most she would confess to breaking the shoe and be sent to the farm to do a labor camp. When the time comes, let Fu Bao cut off the relationship with him and take the lead in criticizing him. Then he can gain sympathy and live a good life in the brigade.
Now that this old guy has said everything, Fubao's background is not righteous, and he will not be drowned in others' spit in the future.
Her Fu Bao had never suffered since he was a child, so why couldn't he bear this?
The more Zhao Jiuxiang thought about it, the sadder she became. She beat the old stone without any mercy at all. At the same time, she also hated going on the Long March.
They are all relatives, so it’s okay if they don’t help, yet they harm her like this!
