Ma Teng took a sip of water, picked up a small stool, and held half a tortilla in one hand. This was not cornmeal, but pure cornmeal.
When I arrived at the Intermediate Court, I saw that almost everyone had come. Everyone was obviously more enthusiastic about the meeting today than before, because today the person in charge was an officer from the subdistrict office, but there was also a police officer with him.
Needless to say, something must have happened, otherwise, the sub-district office would not take it so seriously and even come with the police.
Yi Zhonghai glanced at the crowd and glared at Ma Teng in a cryptic manner. Almost everyone in the courtyard had arrived, and even the old lady walked out on crutches, supported by an aunt.
"Everyone should be quiet for a moment. Now our all-hands meeting is held by comrades from the street office and comrades from the public security office. Everyone applauds and welcomes us."
As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, everyone clapped their hands.
These days, everyone agrees very well with the public security and sub-district offices. Although there are some voices of opposition, they are all reactionaries, so don't worry about them.
When the colleagues from the subdistrict office saw that everyone was still applauding, they stretched out their hands to press down, and everyone slowly stopped applauding.
"Comrades, this time the police comrades and I came here for one purpose, which is to ask who was not in the yard yesterday or who went out at night, what they did and who they did. Everyone should stand up and make it clear, otherwise it will not be good if they are found out. Okay, the reason for holding this meeting is to give everyone an opportunity." As soon as the comrade from the sub-district office finished speaking, everyone in the courtyard began to whisper.
Everyone in the compound began to recall where they went yesterday, especially after dinner. It would be best to find someone who could prove that they did not leave the compound.
Finally, each family stood up and began to prove that they were at home last night, or stood up to prove to each other.
But at the end of the investigation, only Chen Hong, the coworker in the front yard, came home very late last night. He was drinking with a few brothers who worked together. Everyone took a job at the grain station last night. They were all happy after making nearly half a month's worth of money, so they paid for a drink together and left at 11pm when the clerk chased them away.
Everyone separated halfway, and when I came back last night, the door was not closed, so I pushed the door open and came in. It was a few minutes before 12 o'clock when I got home.
Moreover, Chen Hong also provided several addresses where he could sleep together.
Chen Hong has been temporarily excluded.
Li Yunchuan in the front yard, his sister works in a food factory and rarely comes back. He is also alone, but with Yan Bugui's testimony, he has also ruled out suspicion.
Zhongyuan Wu Shengli, a veteran, was injured and had a low rank. When he retired, he was just a soldier. The army also took great care of him and arranged for him to be a night patrolman under the police station. He patrolled the prescribed route three times a night. Done, this job is very easy, but if you have a gun and you are not afraid of encountering enemy agents, then you will be properly rewarded.
The other one is He Yuzhu. He is single and a chef. It is inevitable to go to the black market to find good things. However, these two people obviously overestimated Sha Zhu, because Sha Zhu would not go to the black market at all. , let alone buying and replacing any ingredients. One of Shazhu’s principles is that he will make whatever the factory gives him, and if he doesn’t have it, he won’t do it.
As for my spare time, I don't have to help others cook or take on private work. It just so happens that I don't have any private work these days and I am all at home. Yesterday I was drinking with the first uncle and Jia Dongxu. In fact, the three of them wanted to deal with Ma Teng.
However, the two people from Shazhu testified and ruled out the suspicion.
There is also Wang Tiesheng in the backyard. Although this guy has never been caught because of unclean hands and feet, everyone knows it is him. This guy used to do everything except suck noodles. He beat his wife on a whim. I have never seen his wife Ma Teng. She is such a charming girl. What a pity. Later, her gambling addiction became more and more serious and he tried to trick his wife into selling it. However, his wife was clever and said she was going to the toilet, so she ran away. Never again. He didn't come back. I heard that he met a street vendor on the way. The two fell in love at first sight, and they ran away together. Wang Tiesheng searched for a year but couldn't find him, and he didn't know where he went.
A single person is an old lady. With her small feet bound, she can catch up with him even if she runs two miles.
I asked them all, but I didn’t ask Ma Teng.
Ma Teng knew that Yi Zhonghai was up to something.
Then just raise your hand.
The police comrade looked at it and said, "Comrade, what can I do?"
"Comrade Public Security Officer, I introduced you around, but you seem to have forgotten me.
Two comrades, I am also single, and I still have my own yard. Ma Teng said.
"Oh, tell me, what were you doing last night."
"Comrade Public Security, I felt a little uncomfortable yesterday afternoon. I went to bed early in the morning. I don't know what happened. Maybe it was a recurrence of my old illness and I vomited blood. You can tell by looking at my face." After Ma Teng finished speaking, he looked at Take two steps forward.
The two comrades, as well as Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, all gasped. If Ma Teng hadn't been standing talking to them, they would probably be lying on the ground with their eyes closed and not breathing. No one would have thought that the person in front of them was alive at all.
Almost identical to the dead.
Even the police looked at him several times and confirmed again and again that Ma Teng was not a liar.
Because the police officers were also retired from the army and had been on the battlefield. You could tell what a dead person looked like at a glance. Moreover, this person had lost too much blood, so he was probably very lucky. Otherwise, someone else would have died long ago.
Ma Teng cooperated very well and twitched from time to time.
The two comrades almost felt that this person could pass away in front of them the next moment.
The police comrade quickly stood up and helped Ma Teng, "Comrade, I believe you, I will help you sit down."
The police comrade held Ma Teng's hand and felt for his pulse. Although it was present, it was beating very slowly.
Suddenly everything was put aside, and there was only one thought in his mind, and it was definitely not this person.
At this point, everything has been investigated. The two comrades said that Beijing has not been very peaceful recently. More than 100 people have been missing in a row, and they do not know whether they are alive or dead.
Comrades from the sub-district office also told everyone not to go out at night, and the patrols on the streets have been strengthened a lot recently. Once caught, it will be very troublesome. If you really have something to do, you can apply to the sub-district office first, and the sub-district office will issue an explanation. Can.
The two comrades whispered something to the three uncles, finally said hello to everyone, and then went to other courtyards. It seemed that they were not the first to investigate here, nor were they the last.
"Comrades, the comrades from the street office also said just now that everyone should try not to go out at night.
Xiaoma, if you feel uncomfortable in the future, scream loudly. We are in the same compound. We must help each other and support each other. This is a harmonious compound. Do you think so? No, everyone is so bad just thinking about it. After all, you are a person, you are still young, and some things you see are not what they seem on the surface. Maybe you were temporarily fascinated by someone or something, but I believe that integrating into the compound is actually good for you. The benefits of oil.
Okay, that's all for today's meeting. If you want to go out at night, please let us know in advance and report to our three uncles so that we know where you have been.
Okay, that's it for today, everyone goes back to their homes and the meeting is over. "Yi Zhonghai said and walked back home with the tea jar in hand.
Yi Zhonghai went home, and the two uncles went home, but before Yan Bugui left, he took away a few pieces of candy and a handful of melon seeds on the table.
He doesn't need melon seeds in his bangs, but he also wants to eat sugar. Although it is the cheapest fruit candy, it can still be sweet at critical moments. Unfortunately, Yan Bugui doesn't have quick hands, so he can only hold the tea angrily. The tank is gone.
Yan Bugui narrowed his eyes.
I can eat the melon seeds for two days. I will give one piece of candy to my little girl, one piece to my son, one piece to my wife, and three pieces to keep for myself.
As for the eldest son, the second son and himself, Yan Bugui felt that they were all adults, so why should they eat sweets.
The other people moved their stools and left with a clatter.
