He said he was full of confidence, but in fact he was very uneasy inside. [Read the full text] He and Gou Chengxuan knew very well how strong Kun Thief was. If the army wanted to force Kun Thief to leave, they would at least have to go through a hard fight. The Jin gentry probably also had this view - otherwise, the wealthy would generally not refuse such things as secret communication, which was free of charge and reserved a way out.
Lai Da waited agonizingly like this, but what he waited for was the news of the tragic defeat of the army in Chengmai. The Lai brothers who were waiting to become the "Returning Regiment" felt like they were struck by five thunders. As the loot continued to be transported back from Chengmai, the two of them were completely desperate.
There are only two choices left for them: either escape back to Qiongshan and live a precarious life with their master, waiting for one day to make a comeback; or they can just live honestly in Lingao - in Lingao As long as you want to live, it is easy to find a livelihood.
The Lai brothers discussed it privately for a long time and finally decided, but they couldn't make up their minds. While he was hesitating, Lai Da met Chu Qing at the gate of the farm one day.
Chu Qing had now completely changed into Australian clothes. If her face hadn't turned towards the construction site for a moment, he could hardly recognize her.
She glanced at Lai Da unintentionally, but Lai Da's heart almost stopped beating - she became so beautiful. In the past, Lai Da thought Chu Qing was a good-looking woman, and she became even more radiant after not seeing her for several years.
This mere few seconds of encounter made Lai Da reluctant to leave. Not only did he give up the idea of leaving Lingao, but he also violated his previous intention of rarely showing up in busy places and traffic thoroughfares. He often passed by the farm gate, hoping to see Chuqing again - if possible, with her again. Say a few words.
But Chu Qing rarely showed up - she was very busy with things at the farm. Not only was she Wu Nanhai's "life secretary", she was also responsible for managing many small things in the farm, so she was very busy. Lai Da came several times but never saw anyone. He simply went to the construction site to work as a casual worker transporting and digging soil. While working, I waited for Chu Qing to appear.
He worked for more than ten days in a row and never saw Chu Qing again. That day, Lai Da couldn't bear the pain of lovesickness any longer and went to ask an "Australian true boy" who came out of the farm by some strange combination of circumstances.
Lai Da was overjoyed to learn that Chu Qing was indeed in this farm - although he had been wandering around and living a precarious life in the past few years, he had always been thinking about his "never married daughter-in-law". Longing for the day to drive away and kill the thieves who took over his woman. Taking back his woman is also the spiritual pillar that can always support him in adversity.
When the officers and soldiers gathered in Qiongshan, preparing for a large-scale crusade, and dark clouds came over the head, Lai Da calculated and calculated in his mind, thinking about what to do with Chu Qing once the thief escaped, and he took her back.
She was snatched away by the thieves, and whether she was a maid or a concubine, she would probably no longer be in perfect condition. When the time comes, he will be a man of great merit for the officers and soldiers to overcome Lingao. There are many good women to choose from - and maybe he can even get the daughter of a wealthy family. We can't let it be known that the matchmaker is marrying such a loser. However, he is a kind and righteous person, and it is also the concubine's responsibility for Chuqing's loss of integrity, so it is appropriate for him to keep her as a concubine by his side.
Lai Da also imagined many times how Chu Qing would kneel in front of him and beg, how she would be grateful to him after getting his forgiveness, etc...
News of the disastrous defeat of the army in Qiongshan broke his dream, and Lai Da's thoughts about Chu Qing turned into a "never married wife" again. My yearning for him is growing day by day.
At this time, Lai Da's blood was boiling. He wished he could go to the farm immediately, meet Chu Qing, talk to her about his feelings, and then take her far away, ignoring the second young master Gou, the bandits, the court, the officers and soldiers... The fence of the farm is not high, but the dense hedges look difficult to overcome. There are sentry guards stationed at the door, so it may not be easy to sneak in...
Lai Da woke up from his dream for an hour. The ancients did not have the ability of modern people to control time. It also underestimated the responsiveness of the modern violent system. He knew that he could not stay here for a long time, but the definition of "long stay" was in "days".
Lai Da was taken to the Investigation Division of the General Political Security Bureau and thrown into the interrogation room.
The person in charge of the investigation is Wu Ming, an indigenous investigator. This man was originally an escort, but he couldn't get a job from the escort agency because he shot too hard during the fight. After being fired by several escort agencies, he was recruited by the Guangzhou station personnel who heard the news. After being sent back to Lingao, he first worked as a policeman. Ran Yao believed that this person was smart, capable, and decisive in his actions. He is a rare hawk-dog type character, and when properly trained, he is an excellent minion. After the establishment of the Political Security Administration, he was transferred as an action team member. After Zhao Manxiong became the first deputy director, he quickly became an investigator.
Under his fierce and serial interrogation, Lai Da, who was unprepared, quickly became full of flaws. He finally tried to respond with silence, but when two burly men came in with many unknown utensils and obscene and ambiguous smiles, he immediately spoke fearfully.
The investigators knew that his name was Chen Da. He worked as a slave in another place and had just returned to Lingao after being fired. He did not have an ID card and was afraid of being sued if he saw someone checking him. As for why he wanted to inquire about Chu Qing, Lai Da couldn't hide it, so he could only vaguely say that he was his neighbor back then. He saw her on the road and wanted to inquire about her current situation, but he had no other intention.
This statement is reasonable and reasonable. If it were normal, it might be fooled. Wu Mu has given orders to call Goubli to identify the arrested person in a secret room next to the interrogation room. He immediately recognized: this person was Lai Da.
The investigator opened the "Wanted List" and saw Lai Da's name on the second page. It is also marked "Level 1" at the end.
"We caught a big fish." Wu Ming immediately called Wu Mu to report.
Wu Mu was very satisfied. Although catching Lai Da had no practical significance, if the escaped Gou Er and his son could be captured, the "omnipotent" prestige of the Cross Travel Group would be raised to a higher level.
"Very good." Wu Mu said briefly, "You did a good job."
"Serve the Elders and the People, Director"
"Okay, you can continue to serve. A document will be sent to you in ten minutes. You must pry his mouth open according to the outline above."
"Understood, Director"
When Wu Mu put down the phone, Lai Da was already captured, and Gou Chengxuan was probably also active in Lingao or Chengmai. He immediately drafted an order and ordered a search and arrest in Lingao and Chengmai.
Of course, the search did not catch Gou Chengxuan - not only was he not in Lingao or Chengmai, he was not even in the precarious Qiongshan Mountain. Gou Chengxuan knew that the officers and soldiers were completely unreliable, and it was only a matter of time before the whole island of Hainan fell. He had long since fled back to the mainland. .
Lai Da revealed everything during the interrogation; including Gou Chengxuan's activities in Guangzhou; his attempt to enlist the Huang family to jointly deal with the Kun thieves... He also revealed that Gou Er's father Gou Xunli was in Lingao.
But no matter how he was tortured, Lai Da could not tell the specific whereabouts of Gou Xunli - he only knew that he was "in the mountains."
"Shanli" Wu Mu thought this was useless. The mountainous area of Lingao is very large, and it is connected with the neighboring counties and Li District. The vegetation in the mountains is dense, and the trees and grasses are very dense. When suppressing bandits, it is easy to say that large groups of bandits will always go down the mountain to find food. It would be difficult to catch a few people like Gou Xunli. He can escape to Danzhou to rest at any time and then return to Lingao.
It’s not that the Time Travel Group can’t catch him, but the cost and benefit of catching him are actually disproportionate, so it hasn’t been launched as a “project”.
Wu Mu felt a little disappointed, seeing that there was nothing more to ask, so he was detained and awaiting treatment.
"Report to the director," Wu Ming said, "Lai Da asked if he could meet Chu Qing."
"Chu Qing?" Wu Mu already knew from the confession that the reason why Lai Da was accidentally captured had a lot to do with his longing for Chu Qing.
If Jian Yi Jian could provide more substantive and valuable information, he would indeed try to do something about it, but now, Lai Da's information has long been drained, and letting him Jian Chu Qing has no value and will only cause trouble - ―What if this girl’s old relationship is not over, wouldn’t it cause trouble for Wu Nanhai? If Wu Nanhai is unhappy, he will definitely take his anger out on the General Administration of Political Security. Very inappropriate.
"No." Wu Mu compiled the interrogation report, and he had already made up his mind: Lai Da is no longer useful, so it would be better to let him disappear as soon as possible. Otherwise, the fact that he and Chu Qing were engaged would turn into a very unpleasant matter.
Thinking of this, he said sternly to Wu Ming: "All the interrogation records about Lai Da are handed over to me for summary. In addition, the content of this interrogation must be completely confidential, do you understand?"
"Yes." Although Wu Ming didn't know what happened specifically, the look on his face was very stern. He knew that there must be some shocking secret inside, and he immediately became very nervous: "I will keep it secret, director."
"Yes, I believe you will do a good job." Wu Mu said, "I would like to congratulate you on receiving the commendation order signed by Director Zhou."
"Serve the elders and the people" Wu Ming stood at attention with a snap.
After Wu Ming left, Wu Mu sorted through the materials. He thought twice, removed Lai Da's confession about his previous engagement with Chu Qing, and reorganized the confession. Then he called Zhao Manxiong.
"...Yes, yes, I have already removed it. Are the original copies destroyed?" Wu Mu asked on the phone.
"The original interrogation records must be kept and archived. Otherwise, if you want to open up old accounts, you won't be able to tell what content you removed." Instructions came from the other end of the phone.
"Yes, I understand."
Lai Da was transferred to the Special Court of the Arbitration Tribunal the next day and prosecuted as a "war criminal". v! ~!
