He said he was full of confidence, but in fact he was very uneasy in his heart. He and Gou Chengxuan knew very well how strong the Kun thief was. If the army wanted to force the Kun thief to leave, they would have to go through at least a hard fight. Jin Shen
We probably also have this view - otherwise the big players will generally not refuse such things as secret communication, which is free of charge and leaves a way out.
Lai Da waited agonizingly like this, but what he was waiting for was the news of the disastrous defeat of the army in Chengmai. The Lai brothers who were waiting to join the "Returning Regiment" felt like they were struck by five thunders. As the loot continued to be transported back from Chengmai
, the two of them were completely desperate.
There are only two choices left for them: either escape back to Qiongshan and live a precarious life with their master, waiting for one day to make a comeback; or they can just live honestly in Lingao - in Lingao
As long as you want to live, it is easy to find a livelihood.
The Lai brothers discussed in private for a long time, and finally decided, but they could not make up their minds. While they were hesitating, Lai Da met Chu Qing at the gate of the farm one day.
Chu Qing had now completely changed into Australian clothes. If her face hadn't turned toward the construction site in an instant, he would have hardly recognized her.
She glanced at Lai Da unintentionally, but Lai Da's heart almost stopped beating - she became so beautiful! Lai Da thought Chu Qing was a good-looking woman in the past, and she became even more radiant after not seeing her for several years.
This mere few seconds of encounter made Lai Da unwilling to leave. Not only did he give up the idea of leaving Lingao, he also violated his previous purpose of rarely showing up in busy places and traffic thoroughfares and often passed by the farm gate.
, hoping to see Chuqing again - if possible, say a few words to her again.
But Chu Qing rarely shows up - she is busy with things at the farm. Not only is she Wu Nanhai's "life secretary", she is also responsible for managing many small things in the farm. She is very busy. Lai Da came here several times.
He didn't see anyone, so he simply went to the construction site to work as a casual worker transporting and digging soil. While working, he waited for Chu Qing to appear.
He worked for more than ten days in a row, but never saw Chu Qing again. On this day, Lai Da, who could no longer bear the pain of lovesickness, went to ask an "Australian true gentleman" who came out of the farm.
Lai Da was overjoyed to learn that Chu Qing was indeed in this farm. Although he had been wandering around and living a precarious life in the past few years, he had always been thinking about his "never married daughter-in-law" and yearning for it.
One day, he expelled and killed the thieves who occupied his woman. Taking back his woman was also the spiritual pillar that could always support him in adversity.
When the officers and soldiers gathered in Qiongshan, preparing for a large-scale crusade, and dark clouds came over the head, Lai Da calculated and calculated in his mind, thinking about what to do with the Kun thief once he got her back.
She was snatched away by the thief, and whether she was a maid or a concubine, she would probably no longer be in perfect condition. When the time comes, Lai Da will be a meritorious minister for the officers and soldiers to overcome Lingao, and there are many good women to choose from-maybe she will still be there.
I can get the daughter of a wealthy family. I can't let it be known that the matchmaker is marrying such a loser. However, I am a kind and righteous person, and Chuqing's betrayal is also the culprit's responsibility. It is reasonable to accept her as a concubine by my side.
.
Lai Da also imagined many times how Chu Qing would kneel in front of him and beg, how she would be grateful to him after getting his forgiveness, etc...
News of the disastrous defeat of the army in Qiongshan broke his dream, and Lai Da's thoughts about Chu Qing turned into a "never married wife" again. His longing for him also grew day by day.
At this time, Lai Da's blood was boiling. He wished he could go to the farm immediately, meet Chu Qing, talk to her about his feelings, and then take her away. He would ignore Young Master Gou, the thieves, the court, the officers and soldiers... and ignore the farm.
The wall is not high, but the dense hedge looks difficult to overcome. There are also sentries stationed at the door, so it may not be easy to sneak in...
Lai Da woke up from his dream after an hour. The ancients did not have the ability of modern people to control time. They also underestimated the response speed of the modern violent system. He knew that he could not stay here for a long time, but the definition of "long stay" is "
"day" is the unit.
Lai Da was taken to the Investigation Division of the General Political Security Bureau and thrown into the interrogation room.
The person in charge of the investigation was Wu Ming, an indigenous investigator. He was originally a bodyguard, but he couldn't get a job from the bodyguards because he was too aggressive during fights. After being fired by several bodyguards, he was recruited by the Guangzhou station personnel who heard the news.
After being sent back to Lingao, he first worked as a policeman. Ran Yao believed that this man was smart and capable, and acted decisively and fiercely. He was a rare eagle-dog type character, and if he was properly trained, he would be an excellent minion. He was transferred after the establishment of the General Security Administration of the Communist Party of China.
He became an action team member. After Zhao Manxiong became the first deputy director, he quickly became an investigator.
Under his fierce and serial interrogation, Lai Da, who was unprepared, quickly revealed many flaws. He finally tried to respond with silence, but the two burly men held many unknown utensils and spoke obscenely.
When the ambiguous smile came in, he immediately spoke fearfully.
The investigators knew that his name was Chen Da. He worked as a slave in other places and had just returned to Lingao after being fired. He did not have an ID card and was afraid of getting involved in a lawsuit when he saw someone checking him. As for why he wanted to inquire about Chu Qing, Lai Da could not
To hide it, I had to vaguely say that she was a neighbor back then. I saw her on the road and wanted to inquire about her current situation, but I had no other intention.
This statement is reasonable, and if it was normal, it might be fooled. Wu Mu has been ordered to call Goubuli to identify the arrested person in a secret room next to the interrogation room. He immediately identified: this person
That's Lai Da.
The investigator opened the "Wanted List" and saw Lai Da's name on the second page. It was also marked with "Level 1" at the end.
"We caught a big fish." Wu Ming immediately called Wu Mu to report.
Wu Mu was very satisfied. Although catching Lai Da had no practical significance, if the escaped Gou Er and his son could be captured, the "omnipotent" prestige of the Crossing Group would be raised to a higher level.
"Very good." Wu Mu said briefly, "You did a good job."
"Serve the elders and the people, Director!"
"Okay, you can continue to serve. A document will be sent to you in ten minutes. You must pry his mouth open according to the outline above."
"Understood, Director!"
When Wu Mu put down the phone, Lai Da had already been captured, and Gou Chengxuan was probably also active in Lingao or Chengmai. He immediately drafted an order and ordered a search and arrest in Lingao and Chengmai.
Of course, the search failed to catch Gou Chengxuan - not only was he not in Lingao or Chengmai, he was not even in the precarious Qiongshan Mountain. Gou Chengxuan knew that the officers and soldiers were completely unreliable, and it was only a matter of time before the whole island of Hainan fell. He had long since fled back to the mainland.
Lai Da revealed everything during the interrogation; including Gou Chengxuan's activities in Guangzhou; his attempt to enlist the Huang family to jointly deal with the Kun thieves... He also revealed that Gou Er's father Gou Xunli was in Lingao.
But no matter how he was tortured, Lai Da could not tell the specific whereabouts of Gou Xunli - he only knew that he was "in the mountains".
"In the mountains!" Wu Mu thought to himself that this is useless. The mountainous area of Lingao is very large, and it is connected with the neighboring counties and Li District. The vegetation in the mountains is dense, and the trees and grass are very dense. When suppressing bandits,
Fortunately, large groups of bandits are always going down the mountain in search of food. It would be difficult to catch a few people like Gou Xunli. He could escape to Danzhou to rest at any time and then return to Lingao.
It’s not that the Time Travel Group is absolutely unable to catch him, but the costs and benefits of catching him are actually disproportionate, so it has never been pursued as a “project”.
Wu Mu felt a little disappointed, seeing that there was nothing more to ask, so he was taken into custody and awaiting treatment.
"Report to the director," Wu Ming said, "Lai Da asked if he could meet Chu Qing."
"Chu Qing?" Wu Mu already knew from the confession that the reason why Lai Da was accidentally captured had a lot to do with his longing for Chu Qing.
If Jian Yi Jian could provide more substantive and valuable information, he would indeed try to do something about it, but now, Lai Da's information has long been drained, and letting him Jian Chu Qing has no value and will only cause trouble -
―What if this girl’s old relationship doesn’t end? Wouldn’t it be causing trouble for Wu Nanhai? If Wu Nanhai is unhappy, he will definitely take his anger out on the General Administration of Political Security. This is very inappropriate.
"No." Wu Mu compiled the interrogation report, and he had already made up his mind: Lai Da is no longer useful, so it would be better to let him disappear as soon as possible. Otherwise, the fact that he and Chu Qing were engaged will turn into a mystery.
A very unpleasant thing.
Thinking of this, he said sternly to Wu Ming: "All the interrogation records about Lai Da are handed over to me for summary. In addition, the content of this interrogation must be completely confidential, do you understand?"
"Yes!" Although Wu Ming didn't know what happened specifically, but seeing the stern look on the leader's face, he knew there must be some shocking secret inside, and he immediately became very nervous: "I will keep it secret, Director!"
"Yes, I believe you will do a good job." Wu Mu said, "I would like to congratulate you on receiving the commendation order signed by Director Zhou."
"Serve the elders and the people!" Wu Ming snapped and stood at attention.
After Wu Ming left, Wu Mu combed through the materials. After careful consideration, he removed Lai Da's confession about his engagement with Chu Qing and reorganized the confession. Then he called Zhao Manxiong.
"...Yes, yes, I have already removed it. Have the original copies been destroyed?" Wu Mu asked on the phone.
"The original interrogation records must be kept and archived. Otherwise, if you want to open up old accounts, you won't be able to tell what content you removed." Instructions came from the other end of the phone.
"Yes, I understand."
Lai Da was transferred to the Special Court of the Arbitral Tribunal the next day and prosecuted as a "war criminal".
