Zhao Minglan entered the room with the red potion. When he heard that Ma Xiaoquan was about to tell a story, he quickly said: "Of course it's fine, but you have to change the medicine first and we'll talk tomorrow."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and asked, "Why haven't I seen Uncle Zhao? Has he gone to work the night shift?"
Aunt Hong nodded: "Well, recently a group of gangsters came to our area. It is said that some people were killed. They are over there at the political worker's family building not far from our Lantian Community."
"No, gangsters? How many are there?"
Aunt Hong shook her head: "Uncle Zhao didn't elaborate, but there are at least three or four. Xiaohu, you have to be good these days and don't run around."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Don't worry, Aunt Hong, I'll stay at home these days. Well, prepare something for me by the way. We have to nip it in the bud, right?"
...
The next day, Ma Xiaoquan got up early. Originally, he wanted to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables with Aunt Hong and Zhao Minglan, but the two girls refused to let him go. In desperation, Ma Xiaoquan could only wait for them at home.
return.
It was just past eight o'clock, and the pendulum clock on the wall was ticking. Ma Xiaoquan felt bored. The wound on his back was still in the recovery stage. He didn't want to go downstairs for a stroll, so he took Zhao Minglan's review materials and started reading.
The textbooks in the 1980s were not as difficult to understand as imagined. Of course, because they were not too subdivided at this time, there was still some solid geometry content mixed in the advanced mathematics books.
Since graduating from college, and the long time spent on the first two missions, Ma Xiaoquan has almost forgotten all the advanced mathematics courses. But after all, he is also a college student. Although many of the contents seem very unfamiliar, he has studied them carefully.
Even though it is still understandable.
Unknowingly, an hour passed. During this period, Ma Xiaoquan solved the two questions that Zhao Minglan had asked. For the second question, he did not choose the forward solution method, but used the method of proof by contradiction.
At this time, the door of the room rang. Ma Xiaoquan thought that Aunt Hong and Zhao Minglan should be back, so he put down his pen, closed the exercise book and prepared to open the door.
At this moment, the conversation between two men suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Is this the place?"
"Yes, this is the home, the home of policeman Zhao Shanhe. I just noticed that two women from their family went out to buy vegetables. I ordered the third and fourth children to go to the vegetable market and entangle them.
They won't come back for a while, so let's pry open the door and go in to get some things."
"Wait a minute, I heard that a relative came to their home recently. Will that relative be home?"
"It's okay. If there is someone, just stab him to death. It's not like we haven't done this before..."
"Alright~~"
Ma Xiaoquan was slightly startled, and thought to himself, this is so fucking disrespectful. Last night, Aunt Hong said that a group of gangsters had come here recently, so why did he encounter them today?
Ma Xiaoquan is not afraid of these two people, but listening to their conversation, it seems that they are deliberately retaliating because of Uncle Zhao's relationship. Furthermore, listening to the conversation between the two people outside the door, there should be at least four of them.
Si went to the vegetable market to entangle Aunt Hong and Zhao Minglan, and if they couldn't come back for a while... Well, these people seemed to have a lot of criminal minds.
Just when Ma Xiaoquan hesitated, the door lock began to click, and the two gangsters outside the door had already begun to pick the lock.
Ma Xiaoquan carefully moved the chair over and pressed it against the door lock. He also took the rolling pin prepared last night in his hand.
With a "click" sound, the door lock opened, but because the chair was against it, the door did not open.
"Eh? That's weird. Why doesn't the door open?" Outside the door, a man lowered his head and pushed the door hard twice. He found that the door didn't move. "Is there a hidden lock?"
"Well, it should be, damn, this policeman is quite aware of theft prevention, but it doesn't matter, we still have guys..."
"Wait a minute, don't take that guy. It's daytime now. The sound is too loud and might disturb people. If everyone on the fourth floor hadn't gone to work and go to school, we wouldn't have been able to cause trouble here during the day."
Hearing the two people talking outside the door, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly had an idea. He walked quickly and quietly to the balcony, opened the window and looked down. Downstairs, Aunt Zhang happened to move a small stool and was about to sit down. Ma Xiaoquan said nothing.
She picked up the green onions that Aunt Hong had picked up before from the balcony, then kneaded them into a ball and threw them towards Aunt Zhang.
After throwing out the green onion, Ma Xiaoquan quickly retracted his head. He knew that with Aunt Zhang's temperament, she would definitely find the source.
Aunt Zhang usually lives alone. She lives on the first floor and is very nosy. More importantly, she likes to stare at people. She can always recognize everyone she meets.
~~Nine inseparable from ten.
Sure enough, Aunt Zhang, who had been bitten by green onions, rushed up with a small stool while cursing.
Aunt Zhang had been studying for several years and knew that hitting her with green onions must only be done by people on the third floor or above. Therefore, she put the small stool at the door of her house, changed a rolling pin, and pointed it toward the second floor.
Run upstairs.
Lantian Community is a tube building structure, and there is usually only one road up and down, so it is easy for Aunt Zhang to find people along the corridors of the residents.
In the whole building, Aunt Zhang usually knew who was occupied during the day and whose owner went to work to buy groceries. She knocked on several households and started asking questions.
Even though these residents don't like her very much, apart from being a bit aggressive, she usually doesn't do anything out of the ordinary. More importantly, Aunt Zhang is the field committee member of the Lantian Community Neighborhood Committee. Anyone who has a bad relationship with her will
, she will always keep looking for trouble, so everyone who comes into contact with her is generally friendly and avoids getting into grudges with her.
After a round of questioning, Aunt Zhang didn't get the answer she wanted. To be precise, she didn't find the person who hit her with the green onion.
Arriving on the third floor, Aunt Zhang's eyes suddenly narrowed. She suddenly remembered that the households on the third floor were all people from the nearby riveting factory and cotton spinning factory. Today, their units arranged for physical examinations, so the people on the third floor
There are no households there.
"If it's not the third floor, it's the fourth floor~~" Aunt Zhang nodded and couldn't help but tighten her grip on the rolling pin in her hand.
Turning around the aisle, Aunt Zhang came to the fourth floor. She raised her head and saw two young men quietly picking the lock with a screwdriver.
"What are you doing?" Aunt Zhang suddenly shouted, pointing the rolling pin at the two young men.
The two of them were stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw that Aunt Zhang was alone. They sneered, and one of them said: "You stinky old woman, stop meddling in other people's business and get out of here!"
Aunt Zhang naturally knew that she, an old woman, could not stand up to two young men, so she cursed and said, "I'm going to call the police!"
After saying that, Aunt Zhang ran away.
When the two of them saw Aunt Zhang running away, they felt bad and quickly put down their weapons and chased Aunt Zhang.
It's just that...the two of them are not as familiar with this building as Aunt Zhang. Although Aunt Zhang is in her fifties, her legs and feet are very flexible. She ran to the second floor and shouted: "Yes."
Thief, catch the thief, catch the thief..."
As soon as Aunt Zhang shouted, some households immediately opened their doors and welcomed her out.
As soon as the two young men arrived on the second floor, they saw four or five male owners of the house, holding the guys in their hands and looking at them eagerly.
A good man doesn't want to suffer any loss. When they saw something was wrong, they gritted their teeth and jumped from the balcony on the second floor.
The distance of more than six meters is a high distance for ordinary people, but for these two gangsters, it is already a familiar operation.
After the two landed, they rolled a few times to absorb the force, and then ran away without looking back.
Seeing the two people running away, Aunt Zhang took a long breath: "It scared me to death, it scared me to death... Those two people, those two people..."
A householder said: "Aunt Zhang, I just came back from my work yesterday. Our work posted several pictures. It seems that two of them are the two people just now. They are the gangsters who committed the crime recently..."
When the residents reminded her, Aunt Zhang trembled and said quickly: "Gangsters, ah, they are gangsters, call the police, call the police. By the way, when I just went up to the fourth floor, I found that they seemed to be trying to pry Zhao Shanhe
His house..."
Several households were very enthusiastic and quickly volunteered to go and check.
Sure enough, there was a satchel at the door of Zhao Shanhe's house. After opening the satchel, it was full of crime tools and a wad of ten yuan in cash.
People in the 1980s were very simple. When something like this happened, no one would think of embezzling the wad of cash, because everyone knew the source of the money was unfair, and several people present could not divide it even if they wanted to.
Unable to reach consensus.
More than half an hour later, Uncle Zhao came with two police officers. When he saw the crime tools at his door, Uncle Zhao frowned.
"Take the things back first and make notes~" Uncle Zhao ordered the two policemen around him, and then he knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was Ma Xiaoquan. In fact, Ma Xiaoquan was already squatting at the door when everyone was noisy. He wanted to hear what everyone said, but after listening for a long time, he couldn't hear anything.
Ma Xiaoquan pretended to have just woken up. When he saw Uncle Zhao, he exclaimed first and then asked: "Uncle Zhao, what's wrong? Why did I wake up in such a big fight?"
Uncle Zhao did not answer Ma Xiaoquan's question. He asked: "Xiaohu, where are your Aunt Hong and Sister Lanlan?"
Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head, yawned and said, "They said they went shopping for groceries, oh, why haven't they come back yet?"
"Buying groceries?" Uncle Zhao was stunned for a moment, then yelled "No," then turned around and ran away.
Ma Xiaoquan closed the door and chased Uncle Zhao out.
...
Uncle Zhao ran very fast, and Ma Xiaoquan almost didn't catch up. The two of them came to the vegetable market one after another. Not far away, there was a circle surrounded by people, and there were women's shouts and cries inside.
