1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"It's hard to find you. You're not at home, and your car is still at home. You're probably just visiting for fun."

Li Yinglin said after the motorcycle stopped.

"What are you doing? Isn't it possible that Director Hu is going to issue another strong order?" Chen Tiezhu asked in confusion.

"Hahaha, you were bullied again when you went to the county bureau yesterday? You deserved it." Li Yinglin said cheerfully.

"But, I'm not here to find you today. Uncle Jianguo, this is the investigation report just sent by the county. A murder has occurred in the city, and the suspect is fleeing in the direction of our county."

"Oh my goodness, what's the matter?"

Chen Tiezhu suddenly became interested and ran over to snatch the investigation report from Li Yinglin's hand.

But after reading it, I was very disappointed, "There is not even a photo on it, how can we cooperate in the investigation?"

Li Yinglin rolled his eyes, "Where can I find a photo? How can you know who can rob money and kill people? You are talking nonsense."

Chen Tiezhu grinned, still thinking out of habit.

I thought there would be at least a surveillance camera with a back view, but where is that thing now? It's all text description.

The report on the cooperation notice said that there were three suspects wearing military coats and hoods, who killed three employees of the Municipal Electric Motor Factory. They were ambushed on their way back from collecting wages.

Another description was that two of them were about 1.7 meters tall, and one was about 1.8 meters tall, carrying guns, and extremely dangerous.

"Old Li, this thing is not easy to deal with? Just this military coat and height are too common, right?" Chen Tiezhu asked in confusion.

"Then just let the suspect put a note on his face. What else do you want? If there is anyone suspicious, call the police station." Li Yinglin said indifferently.

"But generally they can't run to our side. I guess they will continue to run north. According to our internal situation, these three people are not simple."

"They are all ruthless and didn't think of leaving them alive. The driver was shot in the head, and the two financial comrades were shot in the chest and head. The whole incident took less than three minutes. Many people didn't react. They ran away on their bicycles."

"One Type 56 semi-automatic and two five-round bursts with sawed-off barrels. Anyway, our comrades said it was terrible when they inspected the scene."

"Good guy, so well-trained... Could he be someone who has been to the battlefield?" Chen Tiezhu frowned and asked.

Li Yinglin nodded, "We also have this suspicion, but we can't be sure of anything. This case is difficult to investigate."

"But because the nature is too bad, the Municipal Bureau also attaches great importance to it. At present, comrades have been arranged to check at the railway station and bus station, and our station will also set up checkpoints on provincial and national roads."

"Old Li, I have to say something unpleasant, you really have to pay attention to safety." Chen Tiezhu said.

"It's not that I look down on your combat effectiveness, but it is limited after all, right? If you really meet them, facing such a powerful firepower configuration, it will be really dangerous."

"Don't worry, I also told them that if there are really suspicious people, just question them a little. They are extremely vicious and it won't be a burden to take a few more lives." Li Yinglin nodded.

"Anyway, as long as we can find their traces, we can catch up from behind. Especially these three people seem to be well-trained, so we dare not confront them head-on."

"Not bad, no one rushed up with blood on his head." Chen Tiezhu was happy.

"Nonsense, this is not to seize the position." Li Yinglin rolled his eyes at him.

"Since we are here, let's eat before leaving." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Where is the time? We have to deliver to other villages. Doudou, do you miss Uncle Li?" Li Yinglin looked at Doudou next to him.

"Uncle Li, I haven't thought about him yet. I saw him yesterday and I saw him again today." The little guy said very honestly.

"Hahahaha, look at what this is." Li Yinglin said, taking out a smoked chicken from the bucket.

"Uncle Li, Doudou misses Uncle Li so much. Let Dad cook meat for Uncle Li."

Doudou was so happy that he smiled and ran to Li Yinglin's side.

"Good fellow, you are such a good coaxer with your little mouth." Li Yinglin said helplessly.

"Hehe, you can think about it, you can think about it more." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

He Jianguo and Qiao Shulin also laughed, only Liu Dayou wanted to laugh, but because he was too tired, his fat face was a little distorted.

"Let's go, after this part is over, I will find Doudou to eat meat." Li Yinglin said, and stuffed the smoked chicken wrapped in paper into Doudou's arms.

"Yeah, Uncle Li, you have to eat more meat." Doudou, who was holding the smoked chicken,Dou said happily.

Li Yinglin waved again, then kicked the motorcycle and ran away.

"Hey..., it's the New Year, and there are still such tragic things. That's three families, what can we do. After catching such people, we have to shoot them several times to get rid of our hatred." He Jianguo said with emotion.

"There must be an insider here. Otherwise, how did he know that time to collect wages?" Chen Tiezhu stretched lazily.

"This guy must have robbed a lot of money. The motor company has a very high efficiency in the city." Liu Dayou said.

"The key is that their methods are too cruel. The barrel is sawed short, and a five-round burst can kill a large area. It's still such a close distance, tut tut, it's scary to think about it." Chen Tiezhu said.

"I'll go to the brigade headquarters and shout first. It's better to be safe than sorry. Even if you see it, just pretend you didn't see it." He Jianguo said.

"Nothing, we are notoriously poor in Erdaoling, who would want to run to our side. It's safer to go north, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and we can run to the Russians if things get better." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"That's a reminder." He Jianguo was about to go out, but he turned back after walking two steps, "Tiezhu, can we buy some wood from the forest farm?"

"As long as the quantity is not large, it should be no problem. Uncle Jianguo, what are you doing at home?" Chen Tiezhu asked curiously.

"Hey..., I'm not doing anything at home. I just think our village school needs to be cleaned up. The windows and doors are in a mess. If we don't clean them up, the children will suffer next summer."

"Uncle Jianguo, that's no problem. Well, ask Uncle Dong or Uncle Nan to calculate the wood. We can just do it directly, anyway, the villagers have skills." Chen Tiezhu suddenly became energetic.

"Well..., that's true, but it will take some time until the children have their winter vacation, right?" He Jianguo said hesitantly.

"Carpentry work can be done individually, but when it comes to masonry work or installing doors and windows, everyone can work together. Well, I'll provide meals. By the way, does the village have enough money?" Chen Tiezhu asked curiously.

"It should be about the same. You've paid the money you owe to the village, so you can at least make some money." He Jianguo said.

Chen Tiezhu grinned. It's conceivable that the village is also having a hard time.

"Pah"

"Da da da"

"Pah, pah, pah"

Just at this moment, a series of gunshots were heard from the west of the village, near the mountains, and Chen Tiezhu's heart tightened when he heard it.
