As the sun was about to set that afternoon, the two policemen returned to the railway police station. Xiao Jiang, who was driving this time, was a little tired. Instead of going to report to the director with Xiao Wu, he walked into the dormitory and lay down on a sofa.
After a while, he fell into a dream, and he dreamed that a short, fat old man with a fluttering white beard came towards him with a stick and said, Xiao Jiang, you want to catch the thief Xu Sijin. It is actually very easy. Why didn't you catch him?
Because Xiao Jiang was unfamiliar with this short, fat old man, he asked him in a question-and-answer manner, "You said it was easy to catch Xu Sijin. What's the truth?" The short and fat old man motioned to the relatively tall Xiao Jiang to bend down, then leaned into his ear and told Xiao Jiang what to do in order to catch the absconding Xu Sijin.
Xiao Jiang said, let's try based on the situation you mentioned. If we can really catch him, our police station will also give you a small bonus for assisting in the arrest. Please tell me your name and where you live? Once Xu Sijin is arrested and brought to justice, we will contact you.
The short, fat old man stroked his white beard and said with a smile, "I don't need to be rewarded by your police station. I am the little god of the underworld, Tu Tu. I live in Tu Tu Temple and you can't find me."
Xiao Jiang was stunned for a moment and said to Ma Tutu, tell me where in the world of earth is the Tutu Temple where you live? After we capture Xu Sijin based on the information you provided, we can go to your Tutu Temple to burn a stick of incense to thank you.
Ma Tutu said, "No, no need. The Tutu Temple where I live is not the kind of Tutu Temple in the world that can be seen as soon as you open your eyes. The Tutu Temple I live in is the Tutu Temple in the underworld, which is invisible to mortals."
Before Xiao Jiang could say anything else, Ma Tu Tu dodged into the ground and disappeared without a trace. Xiao Jiang yelled Ma Tu Di for a few times, and woke up after screaming. The house was dark, and it turned out to be very late. He only heard Xiao Wu asking at the door of the dormitory, you were half asleep, what are you shouting about? ? Are you suffering from hypnosis?
Xiao Jiang stood up and turned on the light, and asked Xiao Wu to come in and sit with him for a while. He told Xiao Wu everything about how Ma Tudi told him in his dream how to catch Xu Sijin. Xiao Wu kept shaking his head. He said that he absolutely did not believe that there really was an earth god.
Xiao Jiang said that he didn't believe it either, but he believed in his own dream. He was not sure how far the dream was from reality or whether it could be fulfilled in reality.
The only thing I can be sure of is my feeling that I can't explain clearly but can't explain clearly: that is, if I drive to Qijiazhuang in the dark tonight, I will probably catch Xu Sijin. When he expressed this feeling, Xiao Wu still disapproved and said that we went to Qijiazhuang to do it all day today, but there was no result, and it was even worse at night. I believe that guy Xu Sijin, crucian carp has no eggs and cannot run very far. We will catch him sooner or later, so why go so late? Look, it's so dark outside that you can't even see.
Xiao Jiang seemed to disapprove of what he said. He stood up from the sofa, turned off the light, and decided to go find Director Xue. I found Xue Jie and told him about the strange dream. Like Xiao Wu, Xue Jie didn't believe it. He also said that he had the same dream while taking a nap. A short and fat old man who claimed to be Ma Tutu taught him how to capture Xu Si. He has always been secretly suspicious of the method.
Now that Xiao Jiang was talking about this matter, he was half-convinced, so he ordered Xiao Jiang to continue driving. He and Xiao Wu sat in the car together, walked out of the police station gate, set off from the brightly lit Dongjiang City, and headed straight towards the heavy city. Driving towards Qijia Village in the distance at night.
Xu Sijin hid in the back mountain for a long time during the day and did not dare to come down. At the second watch of the night, he slipped down the mountain under the cover of darkness, but did not dare to go back to his house. Under the starlight in the night sky, he saw a dog walking around the village. , but did not bark.
Since he often comes to Qijia Village, the dogs in the village are familiar with him and accustomed to his scent, so they don't bark. The lack of barking also gave him a message, proving that the policeman who came to arrest him during the day had left and was no longer at the farm. Otherwise, the dog on the farm would have barked. Even if it didn't bark non-stop, it would have They bark silently, or bark loudly and lowly, to show that they are always concerned about and on guard against the "new situations" that occur on the bank.
At this moment, Xu Sijin relaxed his vigilance and walked straight through a row of houses to the entrance of his stepfather's house. There was a light in the house. He heard his stepfather talking loudly inside, as if he was telling his mother: Two policemen are coming this morning. Yes, we have done our work. If Si Jin comes home tonight, we must stabilize him and persuade him to surrender...
Xu Sijin didn't dare to go in, and he retracted his body when he was about to reach through the courtyard door. He was really afraid that his family would "stabilize" him. His stepfather was big and strong. If he didn't listen to the advice once he went in, he wouldn't be able to do it. If he was willing to surrender, it would be possible for his stepfather to lose his temper and tie him up with a rope and send him to the police station.
That would be the end of it, and he would be sentenced to death because he committed a crime that deserved death - he stole a wrench from the railway station and loosened the screws on the rails. The train drove onto the iron bridge and derailed, causing the front of the car to take off. A carriage was about to fall into the river. We don’t know how many people were killed or injured. If the man who was the instigator of the accident was caught and shot a hundred times, no one would say it was inappropriate.
In the blink of an eye, he flashed into the night, feeling very scared and depressed inside, and he didn't know where to go.
Suddenly, I heard a rapid barking of a dog, and saw a bright white light shining through from a distance, like a sharp sword, piercing a hole in the night.
He was nervous for a while, and took a look while hiding in the dark. It was a police car driving over on the village road. It was over, his only choice was to hide in a more secluded place, but instead of hiding on the mountain behind the house, he slipped out of the village through a side road that could not be illuminated by the car lights, and sneaked into the rapeseed field where the rapeseed stalks were as long as his waist. Inside, I looked up and saw the police car parked on the field between the owner's pond and the village house. Then the lights went off and he couldn't see anything.
Because he was a little tired, he squatted down, feeling flustered but unable to calm down. As soon as his hand touched his body and touched the half pack of cigarettes, he took out a cigarette, held it in his mouth, and struck a match. Light up and take a long, relaxing puff.
It was quiet all around, and occasionally I could hear the chirping of night insects. Xu Sijin felt that it was quiet here, so he planned to leave after the police who drove into the village and beat him to the spot were gone. He also believed that Qijiazhuang, and even the entire Dongjiang area, could no longer stay. He wanted to escape to remote places in Yunnan. As for how to make a living, he would talk about it later.
Of course mortals don't know his thoughts, only the gods of the underworld know it, but there are many gods in the underworld. No matter what, only Ma Tu Tu is in charge. When Ma Tu Tu saw the police car driving to the village, of course he wanted to help them catch Xu Sijin, but he There was nothing I could do to help, mainly because I couldn't get close to them. The three policemen were already very yang-y, and they all carried pistols, which made their yang-yang even worse.
Ma Tudi stood a foot away from them and murmured in his heart: I gave Director Xue and Xiao Jiang successively the ingenious plan to arrest Xu Sijin in their dreams. Why didn't either of them follow my instructions?
At this time, Xue Jie took the two of them to find Qiliang's house first, but of course there was no result. Xiao Wu complained that he shouldn't have come. Xue Jie suddenly remembered something, and Xiao Jiang also remembered something. They both took off the pistol from their waist and gave it to Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu was inexplicable and refused to accept the two pistols handed to him, saying, "What's wrong with you?" He doesn't even carry a weapon, what if that guy resists? There are dangers.
