Chapter 216 Who Takes the Food Away

"What food is missing?" Liu Guolong didn't drink this time, but he couldn't understand Chen Lisong's words, "They took it away, how could it be lost?"

"It's not people from Fengshan who took the grain away from you."

"Impossible? When they moved the grain, I was always in the yard, counting the bags!"

Chen Xinsheng said: "Our people pull [-] to [-] wheeled carts down the mountain to pull food, and they have to go back and forth several times. If they come down too early, there are so many people, and they are afraid of disturbing the villagers, so we don't go until about ten o'clock. To the Huang Family Courtyard."

Liu Guolong said in panic: "You...they finished moving after eight o'clock, and I didn't get home until nine o'clock, so I fell asleep shortly after I came back."

Zheng Laifu took out a gun from his body, pointed it at Liu Guolong, and asked, "So much food, where did you hide it?"

Chen Xinsheng handed over Zheng Laifu's gun with his hand, and said, "Don't take out your gun at will! This is a fellow villager, not a little devil. Besides, the food is not our Fengshan's, and it's none of his business. I believe Liu Guolong."

Chen Xinsheng's life experience is enough to see that Liu Guolong is not lying.

He reached out to hold Liu Guolong's hand again and said, "Hi, your name is Liu Guolong, right? I'm Chen Xinsheng, Fengshan's political commissar. Nice to meet you. But I'm sorry, I apologize to you on his behalf."

One of Liu Guolong's hands was already being held by Chen Xinsheng. The more he listened, the more confused he became, he stretched out the other hand to scratch his head, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Just as Chen Xinsheng said, the food under the tunnel of the Huang Family Courtyard was not owned by Fengshan, so Chen Xinsheng took it very seriously.

At midnight last night, "Huang Xiaoming" came to Fengshan to tell Chen Xinsheng that thousands of dans of grain were stored in Huang Daming's compound, and it was Chen Lisong who asked Fengshan's people to bring 30 to [-] people down the mountain to move them.So early in the morning, he asked Fengshan's people to prepare some mountain carts, planning to go down the mountain to fetch food after dark.

He never thought that after he entered the Huang family compound, there would be no bag of grain in the basement.

"Croosters..." There was a rooster crowing outside.

"I'm bothering my fellow villagers. I didn't expect it to be dawn. The food is not our Fengshan's. If you lose it, you will lose it. Brother Lisong, we will go back to Fengshan first. Come to Fengshan to see us if you have time. .Also, if you see Lin Sancai, tell him to go back to Fengshan first. I haven’t seen him since I arrived in Fengshan. Goodbye, I’m leaving.”

Although Chen Xinsheng said so, Chen Lisong still said to Chen Xinsheng: "Don't worry, I will definitely find out these grains, and then let you people from Fengshan come to pull them up the mountain."

"I'll go first." Chen Xinsheng didn't care whether Chen Lisong would retrieve the food.

The naivety is almost dawning.

Chen Xinsheng took brothers Zheng Laishun and Zheng Laifu to Fengshan, leaving Chen Lisong and Liu Guolong in front of Ah Zhen's altar, thinking blankly how the food would be taken away by others.

After staying for a while, Chen Lisong asked Liu Guolong again: "Don't you know anyone who took away the food?"

"Yeah. Don't know a single one."

……

Who took the grain hidden underground in the Huang family's compound?

The person Chen Lisong excluded first was Liu Guolong.Because Liu Guolong was timid, and his wife had just hanged herself.

The door of a nearby room opened, and Lin Qinghe walked out of the room.

The mourning hall lights were on, and she saw Chen Lisong and Liu Guolong were there, so she walked straight towards them.

Liu Guolong's house is redundant.Liu Guolong originally planned to reserve a room for Chen Lisong, Chen Lisong's mother, and Lin Qinghe, and Lin Qinghe moved in first.

When she saw Chen Lisong, she walked and said, "Brother Lisong, are you back?"

"Did we wake you up?"

Lin Qinghe seemed to be still half asleep and half awake: "I dreamed about my dad just now. I seemed to hear my dad say 'goodbye, I'm leaving' to me, and then he disappeared when I woke up... "

Chen Lisong smiled and said, "You're sleepy. Just now, 'Goodbye, I'm leaving' was told by Commissar Chen of Fengshan. I didn't expect to run into your dream."

Lin Qinghe yawned and said, "Really? It sounds like my father's voice. What are you talking about?"

Chen Lisong responded: "The food hidden in the basement of the Huang family compound was taken away."

"Just pull it away."

Chen Lisong listened to Lin Qinghe's words, "It's good to take it away", suddenly a thought of doubting Lin Qinghe's actions flashed across his mind, and he blurted out, "Do you know who took it away? It wasn't Li Feijiao, right?"

"Didn't you let Fengshan's people take him away?" Lin Qinghe didn't hear the meaning in Chen Lisong's words.

"No, if Fengshan's people took it away, we wouldn't be unable to sleep."

"Been taken away?" Lin Qinghe was surprised.

"Yes, thousands of loads were taken away."

"No way?"

Chen Lisong removed Lin Qinghe from the suspect list again.

Liu Guolong asked: "I... I really didn't know they weren't from Fengshan..."

"It's none of your business. Do you remember what they looked like?"

Liu Guolong said: "I was afraid of disturbing the neighbors at night, so I moved around blindly, so I didn't see clearly. But the people in Fengshan seem to think that I told people to swallow the food. You don't know, I really don't have the guts."

Lin Qinghe also spoke for him: "Brother Guolong was already home before I went to bed just now, don't think about it."

Chen Lisong said: "I don't think about it."

Liu Guolong asked suddenly: "The people I saw, could they be Wang Kefu's subordinates? They didn't say a word when they moved things, and no one said a word to me. Is it because they are afraid that they will be exposed as Japanese when they say it?" Is it?"

Chen Lisong said: "We should trust Wang Kefu even more. Since he promised to let us move people away, it is impossible to move the food away first. Besides, you were there last night."

"Ah."

"Everyone go back to their respective rooms."

Everyone went back to their houses.Time passed bit by bit, and Chen Lisong tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

He still decided to go to the town hall to ask Wang Kefu at dawn.

……

Chen Lisong and Liu Guolong went to the town hall to look for Wang Kefu early in the morning, but Wang Kefu was still sleeping.

Seeing Wang Kefu just waking up, Chen Lisong naturally removed Wang Kefu from the list of suspects.

Chen Lisong asked Wang Kefu, "You didn't send someone to take away the food, did you?"

Wang Kefu asked, "Why do you say that?"

"The people I called last night ran to the compound to move food, but found nothing."

Wang Kefu was very surprised: "You mean, the more than 1000 dans of grain have been moved?"

"Yes, all moved away."

"How is it possible! When I promised you the day before yesterday, I actually thought about it. Even if I give you enough time for one night, with such a small exit, you can move food up and down, at most half of it."

"It's true, they only took an hour to remove all the grain underneath."

"What?" Wang Kefu's face showed an unbelievable expression.

Chen Lisong could tell from Wang Kefu's expression that this matter had nothing to do with Wang Kefu.

But who would be the one who took away the food?
