Tang Niannian didn't know that Qi Guoxiu had gone to Tangcun to cause trouble. She and Shen Xiao were still in the county seat. Shen Xiao had four days off this time.
The death of He Zhisheng and Qi Guohua caused quite a stir in Zhucheng. No one talked about it openly, but privately there were various versions of the story. The most widely circulated version was this.
"He Zhisheng walked both waterways and dry roads. He was mentally ill. The man who died with him was his lover."
"When the two of them were doing that, the wind suddenly blew up and they got stuck. The two dogs didn't know what happened and they ate them!"
"If it wasn't for the sudden wind, why didn't they escape? They definitely couldn't escape, they were stuck!"
…
At the entrance of an alley, several men and women stood there, discussing animatedly, as if they were there that night.
"Tsk... He Zhisheng is so ugly. He is so handsome and blessed with access to both land and water!"
"Are you envious? Do you also want to walk on dry roads?"
"Tell your uncle the bullshit, I'm a grown man, if you follow your bullshit, I have a wife!"
Several people burst into laughter, and the laughter spread far and wide.
Tang Niannian and Shen Xiao happened to pass by this alley. Their ears and eyes were very sensitive, and they heard everything without missing a word.
Tang Niannian raised an eyebrow and didn't care about these nasty words.
Shen Xiao's expression was even more expressionless. Veterans in the army also said nasty things, and he was used to it.
"Where to go?"
Tang Niannian asked.
There is not much to go shopping in Zhucheng now. The department stores have few types of products and are old-fashioned. Unless she is buying necessary daily necessities, she usually doesn't go shopping.
"Go back to the manor."
Shen Xiao didn't want to go shopping anymore. He wanted to stay in the space with Niannian, just the two of them, without anyone else disturbing him.
The two returned to the guest house. Shen Xiao's vacation was still two days away, so they basically stayed in the space.
Shen Xiao was harvesting crops and farming, and was busy in the space. Tang Niannian was looking at the gems he brought. It was a big box full. Every gem was shiny and bright, and it was so beautiful.
The two of them were enjoying themselves in the manor, but the world outside was not clean.
Under the director's humble begging, Wei Zhangcheng agreed to talk to Shen Xiao and Tang Niannian. In fact, he sympathized with the director. The Zhou family in Beijing made eight calls a day, and the telephone set in the director's office was busted.
Zhou Siren has been missing for two days and there is no news at all.
Wei Zhangcheng searched everywhere Zhou Siren might have gone, but found nothing. The young master of the Zhou family seemed to have disappeared from the world.
He had no choice but to come to the guest house to find someone, hoping that Shen Xiao could reveal some clues.
If Zhou Siren is not found, the black gauze hat on the director's head may not be saved.
Shen Xiao was in the space and could detect the situation outside. As soon as he heard the knock on the door, he came out of the space. His face was dark and his body was cold. He and Nian Nian were living in a world of two.
Opening the door, Wei Zhangcheng took a step back due to the cold air on his body and couldn't help but rub his arms.
"What's up?"
Shen Xiao was impatient and the door was only half opened. If Wei Zhangcheng had nothing to do, he would close the door immediately.
"Go in and talk."
Wei Zhangcheng opened the door and went in. He sat down calmly. Shen Xiao did not sit down and stood waiting for him to say something.
"Zhou Siren has been missing for two days."
Wei Zhangcheng said while observing Shen Xiao's expression.
"None of my business!"
Shen Xiao's face was expressionless and his eyebrows didn't even move.
Wei Zhangcheng secretly admired him. No wonder he was the big treasure that all the military regions were rushing to get. His psychological quality was absolutely top-notch.
"It's really none of your business. Just help me, your brother, and give me some guidance. If we don't find Young Master Zhou, my director's hat will be blown."
Wei Zhangcheng was half-joking and intended to be a pun.
He knew that Shen Xiao understood.
Where Zhou Siren is, only this boy and Tang Niannian know.
"The legs are on him. Who knows where he has gone. He might come back by himself in a few days. Why are you anxious?"
Shen Xiao rolled his eyes coldly, walked to the door, and opened it with a very disgusted expression.
"Okay, I won't disturb you young couple anymore!"
After Wei Zhangcheng got the answer, he felt relieved, got up and left.
When he walked to the door, he patted Shen Xiao heavily on the shoulder, winked and said, "Miss Tang is still young, please take it easy!"
"roll!"
Shen Xiao kicked Wei Zhangcheng in the butt and slammed the door shut without giving him any face.
Wei Zhangcheng bared his teeth, slapped his butt a few times, turned his head and cursed silently at the closed door: "You brat, big or small, using such force, hiss!"
"go back!"
Wei Zhangcheng arrived downstairs at the guest house and asked his colleagues to leave.
"Aren't you looking for Zhou Siren?"
My colleague didn't know why. Didn't he come out to find Mr. Zhou?
"Return as soon as I ask you to, there is so much nonsense!"
Wei Zhangcheng glared, got on his bike and drove away quickly. His colleagues were stunned for a few seconds, then got on their bikes and followed.
He listens to the captain anyway.
Back at the Public Security Bureau, the director was answering the call from the Zhou family.
"We are looking, but there is no news yet. Chief, did Comrade Zhou Siren go out to play on his own? Why don't you go to Comrade Zhou Siren's close friends and classmates to find out?"
The director suppressed his impatience and tried to sound respectful, but the pen in his hand was almost cut off by him.
"Director Guan, Siren happened under your jurisdiction, and you are going to explain it to me like this? I can be 100% sure that Siren's disappearance is definitely related to Tang Niannian and Shen Xiao. You caught him If you pass their review, you will know Siren’s whereabouts!”
Mr. Zhou on the phone changed from his usual calmness and became very impatient.
Of the two grandchildren he valued most, one was disabled and lying in the hospital complaining about everything; the other was missing, his whereabouts unknown, and his life or death unknown.
Even though Mr. Zhou was used to big storms, he couldn't calm down anymore and threatened the director outright.
Director Guan's face darkened, the smile on his lips disappeared, and he said seriously: "Chief, you need evidence to arrest people. As the director, I must be strict with myself and lead by example. Tang Niannian is a poor peasant or a working class person. Shen Xiao They are army officers, they did not break the law, I have no reason to arrest them, it is illegal."
"Tang Niannian is a capitalist lady, and Shen Xiao is also a descendant of a capitalist. Guan Zhengsheng, are your wings stiff now? You don't even listen to what I say?"
Mr. Zhou's tone became cold. Director Guan was also a soldier and had served as a soldier under him.
"Chief, I dare not be honest, but everything must be based on evidence. There is currently no evidence that Tang Niannian is a capitalist lady. Her file is clean. Her grandfather is an anti-Japanese hero and a descendant of heroes. As for Shen Xiao, he is If there is a problem with the composition of active-duty officers in the army, how can they pass the political review?"
The director retorted with reason, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
The Zhou family had a good plan, let him be the leader, he would offend others, and the Zhou family would sit back and enjoy the fruits of the crime.
He's not that stupid.
Besides, it was none of his business that Zhou Siren was missing. The Zhou family didn't tell him at the beginning and asked him to keep an eye on Zhou Siren 24 hours a day. If he had said so, he would tie Zhou Siren to the police and not let him move a step.
