After eating the noodles, we went all the way to the small suburban town called Qingquan Town, which is a little far away from the city. The town is named after an endless stream of crystal clear mountain spring water. There are usually no people here, but As soon as we arrived at the market, there were huge crowds of people.
Because people from other villages and towns will gather here today, it seems that there is a market today, there are people everywhere, and it will not end until five o'clock in the afternoon. We squeezed in the crowd and slowly walked towards the alley in my memory.
Suddenly a woman's voice in the crowd: "Ah! Catch the thief! Catch the thief~!" Only a man was heard yelling: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" "Ah! There's a knife!" Another woman screamed After getting up, the uncle turned around and chased after him, shouting: "Minghao, Zhang Tao, go and intercept him!"
The two police officers responded: "Yes!" They quickly gave chase. The uncle turned around and shouted to me while running: "Xiao Feng, please stay where you are and don't run around!" I replied loudly: "Okay! ~Uncle!~"
How could I be where I was? My hands felt itchy when something like this happened... I followed slowly, trying not to let them see me, to see if I had a chance to subdue the gangsters with them. Since I was trained by "Uncle Master" last time... no... after the training, I feel that my body is lighter and my feet are faster. I can run as fast as I want, run as fast as I want, and I don't pant much. My body and movements are much more flexible.
We followed them all the way to the bell tower outside the town. After the thief ran in, the door was locked. There was usually no one here. The bell tower was used to ring the bell for gatherings when there were important events. The bell tower was about ten meters long and almost three stories high.
There is nothing complicated inside the bell tower. It is just a circular staircase that leads all the way to the top bell tower. There is a big bell hanging there. Only that floor is supported by pillars. It is ventilated on all sides and has a good view. The other floors are all Stairs, no windows, I used to play here with my classmates when I first went to college.
The uncle pushed the bell tower door, which was already bolted, and said to one of the police officers: "Zhang Tao, go and borrow a higher ladder from the town residents." He turned around and said: "Minghao, go around Behind the circle, don’t let him escape with a rope.”
Zhang Tao looked up at the bell tower: "Wow~ I can see that the bell tower has more than two and a half floors. Captain, do people in this town have such a tall ladder?" The uncle was anxious, "What nonsense! Can't you just ask?" "
The uncle turned around and saw me, and said angrily: "Why are you here! Didn't I tell you to wait where you are?" I said, "I want to see if I can be of any help." "What help can you do!" It’s our job, go back quickly and find a safe place to wait for us!”
"I...I...okay." I thought I would be scolded by the uncle if I didn't leave, so I pretended to walk away. I turned the corner of the house and hid here and looked over there. The uncle and the police officer named Minghao kept talking. I tried to persuade him to come out, telling him that as long as he surrendered and reformed, he would be dealt with lightly, but there was no movement upstairs.
After a while, I saw Zhang Tao and several policemen from the local police station coming from the opposite side carrying three ladders and several loops of rope around their necks. Before they saw me, I quickly turned to the alley next to the house. After they passed, I circled back and continued to observe the situation.
Zhang Tao said to the uncle: "Captain, I have borrowed the three longest ladders, so I can only tie them into one." After saying that, he put down the ladders with everyone and tied them up. The uncle replied with a "hmm", I also squatted down and tied up the ladder with the police. At this time, I saw someone upstairs sticking his head out and looking down. It was the thief!
The sound of howling ghosts and wolves came from upstairs. "You~! Don't come up~! Don't come up~!" The uncles ignored him and continued to tie the ladder. The ladders were tied up and everyone helped them up. However, the three ladders seemed to be too high after being tied up. The top section of the ladders was a bit too shaky and unstable. The man above heard the noise and panicked: "Don't come up!~ You...you...if you come up, I'll...I'll jump down."
As he spoke, he climbed to the edge of the balcony, holding the pillar with his right hand and holding a knife in the other hand. His feet stood on the tiles and kept shaking. The uncle and Zhang Tao stopped quickly and said loudly to him: "Don't get excited~! Don't Excited~! We are not coming up! Relax~! If you have any requirements, we can discuss it!" The uncle said while gesturing with his hands behind his back, as if to signal the police to quickly get the life-saving air mattress.
I can just see it from my position. The policemen from the police station ran back, probably to get the life-saving air mattress. Only the uncle, Zhang Tao, and Minghao were left behind. The uncle and Jiang Tao tried their best to stabilize his mood, and Minghao also ran back and forth several times. .
He suddenly burst into tears and burst into tears: "My wife ran away with someone. I lost my gambling and even sold my house. I don't want to live anymore. I don't want to live anymore!" I don't know if what he said is true or just pretending. , looking very sad.
I visually checked the distance between the eaves where he was standing and the fall. Based on the man's body proportions, he was about three or four people away. If I jumped up with the speed of pushing the house mechanism with my palm, I should be sure He pushed in, but the height was a little higher than my original height, which was a bit risky. I found that because it was a bell tower, there were many places where my feet and hands could lend strength. It should be fine. I didn't want to see him fall. , if he really falls, that scene will probably shadow me in the future...
Having made up my mind, I glanced at the rope remaining on the ground to tie the ladder, and silently recited three times in my mind, "It will work, it will work, it will work, it will work, it will work." After breathing evenly, I took a deep breath and rushed toward the bell tower. I lowered my body when I passed the rope. , hook your fingers on the rope loop, unfold the technique of "body, method and step", step on the pillar and jump upward, grab the corner of the eaves with your hand, use the force to continue to stretch upward, point the toes, use the force, and turn the waist , changed hands to grab the last eaves, took advantage of the momentum, and rolled upwards. This sequence was completed in one go, and I jumped up to the balcony in an instant.
He stretched out his left palm and used the force to push out the shoulder on the side of the pillar he was holding. He supported it with his right hand, turned around and turned over, avoiding his falling knife, and rolled forward and landed on the ground.
"Perfect!~" I felt so happy. I didn't expect that after two months of training with "Uncle Master", I would actually become awesome. Haha, he didn't seem to react yet, and I don't know if he was stupid... I quickly used it. The rope tied him up, and he stretched his head and shouted to the uncle and Zhang Tao below: "Subdued! I'll come down and open the door!"
I saw the uncle and Zhang Tao looking up with their mouths wide open and their eyes wide open. Minghao heard the noise upstairs and ran over and asked: "What happened just now? There was such a loud noise upstairs?" Zhang Tao pointed at me. : "He. He. He.. I.. I.. I.."
"Stop! Can you please calm down!" the uncle yelled. He pointed to the balcony and said: "The young man went up directly and subdued the thief." Minghao looked at me inexplicably: "Huh? Go up directly? Didn't you listen? I understand." Minghao looked at the ladder on the ground and then at me upstairs, expressing that he didn't understand.
I confirmed that I had trapped the thief tightly, then I carried him downstairs and opened the door. The uncle handcuffed him. Zhang Tao went upstairs to collect the weapon. Minghao escorted him to the police station. I asked the uncle: " Are we still going to the red brick house?" "Go! You can lead the way." "Okay." I walked in along the alley I came out of, but no matter how I turned, I always came out from the other alley, so I was puzzled. Can such a large factory really disappear into thin air?
The uncle asked: "Are you sure this is here?" I replied: "Sure." The two of us stood in the middle of the road, turned around and looked around, then looked to the side. No matter how we looked at it, it didn't look like there was any large-scale factory building. An old man passed by, and I quickly asked: "Grandpa, do you know if there is a factory here, a red brick building?" Then I described the shape of the brick building and the site.
The old man raised his head and thought for a moment, then said slowly: "There used to be a factory like this here. It seemed to be a manufacturer of aluminum products. However, there was a mudslide more than thirty years ago and it disappeared after reconstruction." I asked: "Why? Missing? Did anyone see it during the reconstruction?"
The old man said slowly: "After the rescue team arrived, they arranged for those who had no accommodation to live in other places. Those who had relatives went to relatives' homes, and those who had no relatives were arranged to other towns. I remember that they stayed there for a long time. For a long time, we didn’t see that factory when we came back. Alas~ apart from that one time, we have basically never had any mudslides here, and that time was quite serious.”
I looked at the uncle, then at the old man who didn't know what to say. The old man waved slowly to say goodbye, and then walked away slowly. I looked at the uncle and asked, "Do you believe me?" "Believe me!" The uncle answered seriously.
"Why? You don't think I'm a bad person?" "No! We can't rely on intuition in our work!" "But you haven't found the factory I mentioned, so you still believe me?" "Believe it!" The uncle was still adamant. Said with a serious face.
"Hey~! Why?" I looked at the uncle in disbelief, "Analysis! I have analyzed your description logically and psychologically, and also observed your behavior, expressions and micro-expressions to make sure you are not lying. , we have verified all the situations you mentioned yesterday, and most of them are true."
The uncle turned his head and looked at the alley again. "As for there may be other reasons here, we will continue to investigate." After listening to the uncle's words, I suddenly felt much more at ease, so I asked excitedly: "Then am I still a suspect?" When did I say you were a suspect?"
"Am I not? But didn't Officer Zhang Tao say yesterday that I was..." "Suspected? He said he was suspected, but he didn't say you were a suspect!" "Is this a difference?" "This is not a question of difference, I Let me tell you this, didn't you disappear for more than two months?" "Well, yes." "According to the information we had at the time, you were the last to come into contact with the deceased, so we are suspicious of you. This is not normal. "Yes, but am I a suspect?"
"Didn't Zhang Tao say that? There is no evidence pointing to you as the murderer!" "What does that mean?" "I told you that you are not the murderer!" "Then am I still a suspect?" "It seems that you don't understand the word suspect. Is there any misunderstanding?"
"But didn't I work with you all day today?" "You also know it's an action! You are assisting in handling the case and helping us understand the situation as soon as possible. The more information we have, the better it will be for the progress of the case. Didn't you appear before? The crime scene? Don't we need to know what you know?" "Yes, then am I still a suspect?"
The uncle seemed to be furious with me. He made a gesture with his hand to tell me to shut up. "Do you think we will bring the suspect together to handle the case? Don't you, a college student, know what the legal term suspect means? Go back and take a good look at the law. Knowledge! If you were a suspect, you would have been wanted in the past two months!"
I didn't mean it, in fact, I really didn't know, but after hearing what the uncle said, I was actually here to help handle the case! My mood suddenly soared, and I grabbed the uncle and said excitedly: "Okay! Uncle! If you have anything to do, just ask me, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!" The uncle was startled by me and threw my hand away: "Don't pull me. What do you look like? Why do you look like a different person? There are other old uncles, I have a name and a surname. If you want to call me, I will call you Uncle Huang."
