Large courtyard.
forecourt.
Zhou Qiang and the others happened to meet Yan Bugui.
"Xiaoqiang is here, just in time. We are going to hold a hospital-wide meeting. Would you like to go and listen to it?" Yan Bugui looked at Zhou Qiang with a smile.
Zhou Qiang has had a good relationship with the Yanbu Gui family in the past few years.
Zhou Qiang occasionally gives Yan Bugui some benefits.
Yan Bugui didn't take it for nothing, so he asked the third aunt to take care of Zhou Qiang's younger brothers and sisters.
"Third uncle, what's the matter?" Zhou Qiang asked, gesturing for Zhou Juan and the others to enter the house. It's cold outside, there's no need to freeze together.
"An old hen was lost at Xu Damao's house, and I suspected Zhu Zhu had stolen it. Zhu Zhu refused to admit it, so they started to quarrel. No, we need to hold a meeting of the whole hospital to discuss it together."
"Xu Damao lost the chicken, why do you suspect Brother Zhuzi stole it?"
"Because Zhuzi's family is stewing chicken."
"You can't be suspected of stealing the chicken while you're stewing it? You have to provide evidence."
Yan Bugui walked up to Zhou Qiang and whispered: "The evidence is that the chickens from Zhuzi's family are of unknown origin. They are either from Xu Damao's family or from the steel rolling mill."
Everyone in the courtyard knew that He Yuzhu took leftovers from the canteen.
This time, the half chicken that He Yuzhu took was clearly not leftovers.
Anyone who is a little smart will guess that the chicken stewed by He Yuzhu's family comes from the steel rolling mill. Because He Yuzhu would not steal Xu Damao's chicken.
He Yuzhu is in trouble this time.
Either admit to stealing Xu Damao's chickens, or admit to stealing from the steel rolling mill.
"Okay, let me go to the middle courtyard first." Zhou Qiang walked to the middle courtyard.
Yan Bugui looked at it with a smile and said nothing. He probably guessed what Zhou Qiang was going to do.
Middle Court.
He Yuzhu's family.
"Zhuzi, what should I do?" Zhou Xiaoxia was worried.
"It's okay, just say I bought it." He Yuzhu looked like he was not stingy.
"Then where did you buy it?"
"I went to Chaoyang Market to buy it."
"When did you buy it?"
"I am today" He Yuzhu reacted before he finished speaking. He doesn't have time to buy chicken today.
"Then I bought it yesterday."
"You bought half a chicken yesterday?"
"This." He Yuzhu couldn't make up any more.
At this time.
Zhou Qiang came over.
Knock on the door and go in.
"Brother Zhuzi, the half chicken you stewed was given to you by me." Zhou Qiang said without starting or ending.
"Then when did you give it to me?" He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment before reacting.
"Just last night, I sent over half a chicken." Last night, Zhou Qiang did come to He Yuzhu's house and did bring something in his hand, but it was other things, no chicken.
"Okay, you gave me half a chicken last night."
"Brother Zhuzi, who stole Xu Damao's chicken?" Zhou Qiang asked.
"I think it's Banggeng. When I came back just now, I saw Banggeng and his two sisters eating beggar's chicken outside the steel rolling mill and dipping it in the soy sauce of the steel rolling mill. Banggeng stole the soy sauce from the back kitchen of the steel rolling mill. I Saw it too."
"Jia Jia Geng? Is he stealing things at a young age?" Zhou Qiang frowned in displeasure.
"It's not considered stealing. You can take any of Xu Damao's chickens. Besides, Jia Geng doesn't eat alone and knows how to take care of his sister." He Yuzhu said nonchalantly.
"It's always wrong to steal things." Zhou Qiang shook his head and didn't say much.
Anyway, it wasn't his own child who stole something, he was too lazy to meddle in other people's business.
After a while.
Middle Court.
The all-staff meeting begins.
Zhou Qiang came alone. He didn't let his younger brother, sister, and Wang Meili come over.
It's cold, there's no need to freeze together.
Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were sitting in the middle of the yard.
Yi Zhonghai took the main seat, with Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui on the left and right.
Liu Haizhong stood up and spoke first: "Um, today's meeting is a hospital-wide meeting, and it's just one topic.
Here, a chicken was stolen from Xu Damao's house.
At this time, someone was stewing a chicken on the stove.
Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's not a coincidence, right.
The first uncle, the third uncle, and I analyzed it together and decided to hold a hospital-wide meeting.
Now let me invite the most senior man in our courtyard to preside over this meeting. Liu Haizhong sat down after speaking.
Yi Zhonghai smiled slightly and spoke, without standing up, his voice was very calm: "Nothing else to say, everyone knows.
He Yuzhu, tell the truth, did you steal Xu Damao's chicken? "
"No, I'm not a thief. Why am I stealing chickens?" He Yuzhu was confident.
While he was speaking, Qin Huairu next to him looked worried.
Qin Huairu was not worried about Yuzhu.
She was worried about Jia Gen.
Qin Huairu already knew that her son Jia Gen had stolen Xu Damao's chickens.
She was worried that others would say her son was a thief.
"Then let me ask you, where did your chicken come from? Where did it come from!" Xu Damao asked with his eyes widened.
"You have nothing to do with this!" He Yuzhu was not in a hurry to say that Zhou Qiang gave it to him.
"Look, look! Silly Zhu feels guilty and dare not tell where their stewed chicken comes from!" Xu Damao refused to let go and caught He Yuzhu and refused to let him go.
"Zhuzi, you still have to explain where your chickens come from?" Yan Bugui spoke. He took advantage of Xu Damao and needed to speak for Xu Damao.
"Why should I say that?" He Yuzhu said. He looked down upon the calculating Yan Bugui.
"Sinzhu, you have to say it!" Liu Haizhong scolded.
"I won't tell you!" He Yuzhu seemed confused and refused to cooperate. He also looked down upon Liu Haizhong, an official fan who loved to beat his son.
"Zhuzi, don't be stupid and speak nicely. Where does your stewed chicken come from?" Yi Zhonghai asked.
He Yuzhu didn't dare not listen to Yi Zhonghai's words.
He Yuzhu responded cooperatively: "Where else could it come from? Xiaoqiang gave it to me."
"When did Xiaoqiang give it to you?" Yan Bugui asked.
"Last night, Xiaoqiang gave me half a chicken."
"Xiaoqiang did go to your house last night, and he was still carrying something in his hand." Yan Bugui nodded with a smile and didn't ask any more questions. He knew that Zhou Qiang was helping He Yuzhu lie.
"Xiao Qiang, did you give He Yuzhu half a chicken?" Yi Zhonghai looked at Zhou Qiang and asked.
"Yes, Sir, I gave it to you." Zhou Qiang responded without saying anything else. He was too lazy to get involved in the affairs of the courtyard.
"Then there is no problem. The chicken stewed by He Yuzhu was not lost by Xu Damao, and He Yuzhu did not steal Xu Damao's chicken." Yi Zhonghai concluded.
"If it's not He Yuzhu, then who stole my chicken?" Xu Damao asked hurriedly.
"Have you seen who took Xu Damao's chicken?" Yi Zhonghai asked.
"No outsiders will come to our courtyard this afternoon." The third aunt and several other people in the front yard spoke one after another.
They live in the front yard, and outsiders can basically see them when they come.
Their words seemed to indicate that the thief was not an outsider.
(Actually, this is wrong to think about, because thieves can climb over the wall. Thieves can climb in and out of the backyard wall.)
"Since no outsiders came, it means that someone in our courtyard took Xu Damao's chicken." Yi Zhonghai looked around and said. He didn't think about climbing over the wall.
But, that's right, the thieves have climbed over the wall, so they just stole an old hen? Don’t you know that two of them can be stolen together? Besides, you only want to steal the chicken by climbing over the wall?
Yi Zhonghai actually had some guesses.
The Jia family's Jia Gen is the most likely to steal chickens.
This was all taught by Jia Zhang.
Some people have thought of this, but no one has spoken out.
Neither Zhou Qiang nor He Yuzhu said it was Jia Gen who stole the chicken.
No one wants to meddle in other people's business.
"Whoever took it, just admit it quickly, don't waste everyone's time." Yi Zhonghai urged, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Qin Huairu.
However, Qin Huairu refused to stand up and admit that it was her son Jia Gen who stole the chicken.
"If no one admits it, call the police." Yi Zhonghai said. He didn't dare to protect the thief at the moment.
"That's right, if no one admits it, call the police to arrest the thief." Others agreed. In the middle of winter, holding a hospital-wide meeting in the courtyard was okay for a short time, but over time, everyone couldn't bear it.
Waited a moment.
Qin Huairu still didn't stand up.
"Since no one admits it, Xu Damao, go call the police. Okay, let's break up the meeting!" Yi Zhonghai said and went back to the house. He could guess what happened next. Xu Damao couldn't call the police.
Everyone else also dispersed.
Xu Damao just wanted to call the police.
Qin Huairu walked over and said, "Da Mao, are you really going to call the police?"
"Of course, we must catch the chicken thief this time."
"Da Mao, let's go to your house first." Qin Huairu took the initiative to walk into Xu Damao's house.
"What's wrong, Sister Qin, are you short of money or food?" Xu Damao closed the door and hugged Qin Huairu from behind. Qin Huairu took the initiative to find Xu Damao before, all for money and food.
"Da Mao, your chicken was picked up by Banggan in the front yard. Don't call the police." Qin Huairu leaned against Xu Damao and spoke with a charming face.
"It's a joke, so don't call the police. But, Sister Qin, how are you going to thank me?"
"What do you want?"
"That's it."
"Da Mao, go to the warehouse of the steel rolling mill at noon tomorrow." Qin Huairu and Xu Damao went on a date alone more than once. They have a fixed place to go, and they are cautious people who will not mess around in the courtyard.
"Okay." Xu Damao agreed with a proud look on his face.
Qin Huairu quietly left Xu Damao's house.
She didn't dare to stay at Xu Damao's house for fear of being seen by others.
"I heard that Xu Damao was going to call the police?" Jia Zhang asked hurriedly.
"I won't go. I said a few good words to Xu Damao and promised to give him a chicken." Qin Huairu's face looked a little unnatural. Xu Damao took the opportunity to touch her a few times just now.
"That's good." Mrs. Jia Zhang nodded, "Do you think it would be a good idea if the police were actually called?" When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard that Xu Damao would be compensated with a chicken, she felt lucky again.
"Definitely! Mom, don't teach me a bad lesson. If you do it again, you will be sent to a juvenile detention center."
"I know." Jia Zhang didn't know what she was thinking.
Get your younger siblings settled.
Zhou Qiang and Wang Meili walked home.
"Brother Qiang, who stole Xu Damao's chicken?" Wang Meili asked curiously.
"Who else can it be? Jia Jia Geng."
"Is it really Jia Geng?"
"Yes, Brother Zhuzi saw Jia Gen and his two sisters eating chicken outside the factory. Jia Gen also stole soy sauce from the steel rolling mill."
"Brother Qiang, Jia Gong is not young, so how can he steal things?"
"They were all taught by Jia Zhang."
"Mrs. Jia Zhang is Grandma Jia Geng. How can any grandma teach her children to steal?"
"Yes, if you teach your grandson like this, you want him to go to jail in the future.
By the way, Meimei, after the Chinese New Year, I will ask your mother to come live with us so that it can be convenient to take care of you. "Zhou Qiang changed the topic. He didn't want to discuss other people's rights and wrongs.
"It doesn't have to be so early, right?"
"It's not too early. You're going to give birth in a few months. You need to prepare in advance."
Back home.
Wang Meili found nothing unusual.
But Zhou Qiang felt something was wrong immediately.
"Someone has been here!"
"Someone rummaged through something!"
Zhou Qiang looked at the place where the money was kept at home. There was no shortage of money and no one had touched it.
"Brother Qiang, boil some water, let's wash up and go to bed?"
"Okay, wash up and go to bed."
night.
Just when Zhou Qiang was sleeping.
Agricultural science station.
Three men in black came.
They are very skilled.
Climb over the wall.
The guard was not alerted.
They sneak into the office building quietly.
Zhou Qiang's office was opened by a wire.
After entering.
They went straight to Zhou Qiang's desk.
There are four desks in the office, and four people share an office, not just Zhou Qiang.
No lights on.
Holding small flashlights, they rummaged quietly.
After a while.
"No." A middle-aged man's voice.
"Yeah, the research information is not here."
"Would you like to go to the stationmaster's office?"
"Walk!"
The three of them smoothed away the traces of rummaging.
Then they used wire to open Wang Baoguo's office.
"I'll open the safe." One opened the safe, and the two rummaged through the table and bookcases.
After a while.
The safe was opened, but there was nothing inside.
"It's not here either, what should I do?"
"What happened last time was a warning. They must be hiding. We need to retreat first."
The three men in black quietly evacuated.
They didn't alert anyone.
But they didn't know that someone was always watching them secretly.
at the same time.
farm.
Someone is coming too.
Three men in black also came.
They come looking for seeds.
They just climbed over the wall.
"Woof woof woof" the dog barked suddenly.
They took their time and threw a piece of meat over.
The dog stopped barking.
At this time, the old guard seemed to hear a dog barking.
Turn on the lights and come out with a flashlight.
I took pictures everywhere and couldn't find anything wrong.
He didn't go in to watch the dogs either.
If you get closer, you might be able to spot the dog eating meat.
I went to the corner, peed, and the old janitor came back to the house.
When he soaked his urine, he just peeed on the man in black.
But the man in black didn't move.
After a while.
The old janitor snored.
Three men in black took action.
They seem to know this place well.
Go straight to the place where Zhou Qiang put the seeds.
They quickly found the seed, "Team leader, I wonder if this is it?"
"If you don't recognize them, take them all away."
"good!"
The three of them picked up three sacks and walked out quietly.
In the darkness, someone was staring at them.
"Captain, do you want to arrest me?"
"No, those bags of seeds were not cultivated by Researcher Zhou."
Three men in black disappeared into the darkness.
Behind them, someone was following them from a distance.
Wang Dashun's greenhouse.
There are people here too.
A dozen men in black came.
They seemed to be picking directly from the ground.
They had just entered the greenhouse.
Suddenly, the lights came on.
"Stop, don't move!"
"Run!"
"Bah bang bang" gunfire sounded.
Three or four of the men in black who escaped were killed on the spot.
The man in black also had a gun and hurriedly fired back.
There was a crackle, and gunshots rang out violently.
Soon, only two of the men in black died and surrendered.
The sound of gunfire alarmed Wangzhuang.
The villagers ran out in a hurry.
There were militiamen who began to explore the situation.
They have all been trained.
"Hey, the action has already been taken. All the nets are closed!" Some places have taken action, and others who have not taken action are also notified to close the nets.
"receive!"
This night is destined to be restless.
Gunfire rang out in several places in the city.
There were also violent gunshots in several places in the village.
not only that.
nearby mountains.
Gunfire also rang out.
The gunfire alarmed many people.
Zhou Qiang also heard the gunfire.
He turned over and slept more peacefully.
