The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

The last interview ended in such a way, which can be said to be very appropriate.

The brightest protagonists in the center of the stage will soon be replaced by these little guys to workers and soldiers.

Many people in the capital also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the reception work that has been busy for three months is not over yet, it will become easier and easier starting tomorrow.

Compared with the current workload of receiving 400 million people every day, receiving 10,000+ or ​​tens of 10 people in the future can only be regarded as a small task.

Food, drink, diarrhea, clothing, bed, shelter, and transportation consume countless financial funds.

Since the grass shed built before was a short-term project, if it experiences erosion from winter wind and snow again, the materials will suffer great losses.

Even if it is dismantled, the people below are worried that if they continue to be used next spring, they will have to be stored in a warehouse, which will cost a lot of money.

Moreover, many straw curtains, straw mats and other items have been damaged due to the use of a large number of people and can only be scrapped.

Indirectly, it has paralyzed various places, disrupted order, and hindered normal production and transportation. The losses are even more difficult to estimate.

It's normal to leave chicken feathers all over the place after a carnival.

Like the last time he purchased scrap wood, Li Ming was ready to pick up a bargain again.

No compensation was provided for the materials used to build the straw sheds, regardless of whether they were damaged or not. Each company paid for them out of their own pockets and disposed of them on their own.

Companies need to find warehouses to store items that are not broken, to prevent others from saying they are wasting resources. This is something that cannot be shied away from.

Dealing with damaged items is even more depressing, as there are transportation costs for garbage disposal.

It was transported back to the factory to be used as fuel, but no one was willing to use it to add firewood to the fire. Wheat straw, straw, bamboo tips, etc. were all unburned firewood, and they were busy running back and forth.

This is an opportunity. Li Ming plans to form several professional teams to help these companies deal with the aftermath.

After cleaning up, he didn't need to transport it. When no one was around at night, he could put the things into the small world and be done.

This time, more than 61 mats, 67 bamboo tips, 6 moso bamboos, straw curtains, thick straw mats, cattail mattresses, straw bags, and grass pieces were supplied to schools, institutions, and enterprises for building straw sheds and mat sheds. 122 million pieces.

For such a large amount, it was impressive that he could eat even a small portion.

These things are not used as fertilizer. Many fruits and vegetables like cucumbers require shelves and shed mats.

His territory is large and there is plenty of room to store supplies.

In the evening, Li Ming squatted at the gate of the steel rolling mill and found nothing.

People who want to take advantage of others stay out of the limelight.

There was no stubborn person who deliberately brought accessories to provoke him.

Today was Saturday, and he felt relaxed and went back to the small courtyard in the west of the city for dinner early.

Sisters Lou Xiaoe took a furniture truck back to the city.

After the meal, he and Lou Xiao'e hid in the room and hugged each other.

"The city is still very chaotic, but I miss you. You are not allowed to blame me for returning to the city."

"How could I blame you? I'm worried about your safety."

Li Ming slowly explained, "Now when the 'basically so' and 'should be so' groups are quarreling most fiercely, the winner will be determined during this period."

"Even within our industrial transportation system, there are many opinions on production. We have been holding symposia recently for half a month."

"A few days ago, a "XX Twelve Instructions (Draft)" was produced, and everyone has opinions."

"In the past two days, we have compiled another 15 articles of "Several Provisions on XX", and some people still have opinions. It is estimated that it will need to be revised again."

Lou Xiao'e raised her head and asked, "Where did you hear this? It wasn't mentioned in newspapers or on the radio."

Li Ming pinched her little cheek, "I heard it when I was making tea with Deputy Director Nie. Our factory is considered a key enterprise, and the factory leaders have been called to have discussions."

"Production in various places has been affected, some production has a tendency to stop, many collaborative projects have basically been stopped, and infrastructure has also been affected."

"A lot of production relies on resting on laurels, and the inventory of materials is not sufficient. Maanshan Iron and Steel and Wuhan Iron and Steel are in danger of suspending production."

"It's a mess everywhere now."

Lou Xiao'e kept thinking, "Our cannery can't even start operations."

"Our small factory can be opened and closed at any time without any impact. If the steel-making furnace of the steel plant is stopped, the loss will be huge."

"Can the cannery start operating next year?"

Li Ming understood her actual thoughts, "I have other ways to get to Hong Kong City. I will tell you when I have made arrangements."

"Ah."

"However, the port city is in chaos at this time and may not be as safe as the capital city."

Li Ming had heard something about the 5 million detective, and the bald man also sent many people to Hong Kong City, and there were many secret battles in private.

Lou Xiao'e worried: "Not as good as the capital?"

"It's very possible. However, rich people are the boss there, which is very different from the capital. Nothing will happen to your parents."

“It’s good to spend money to eliminate disasters.”

"Speaking of disaster relief, I have to go out at night."

"Is something wrong?"

"Sister Qin was harassed by the director of the Grain Bureau."

Li Ming briefly explained the ins and outs, but did not explain the specific methods.

"I went to scare Xiang Dehao the day before yesterday and midnight last night. I acted for two consecutive days, and it seemed that some unknown secrets were revealed."

"Last night, Director Xiang said something like 'don't blame me' and 'you forced me to do this'."

Lou Xiao'e was surprised and said: "You mean, Xiang Dehao's wife was probably killed by him?"

"Maybe I was frightened and talked nonsense, so I called the people at the Chengdong Branch and went over there in the evening to confirm."

"Without evidence, that Xiang Dehao won't admit it, right?"

"When he is frightened and faced with the interrogation of experienced security guards, he may expose some flaws."

Li Ming's idea is to hit two shots if there are dates but no dates.

Xiang Dehao doesn't think so.

It happened in the middle of the night the night before yesterday.

Hiding in the office last night was even more terrifying. After dinner, he almost died with a towel. The person on duty opened the door and Xiang Dehao escaped. Hiding in the crowd, he was still threatened from time to time. Didn't even sleep well at night.

It's not that Xiang Dehao didn't think of a way. At this critical moment, even if he wanted to burn paper money for the deceased, he couldn't find anyone to sell it.

As for the practice of transcendence, that is even more impossible. All the 'masters' are busy writing inspections seriously and have no time to deal with such a small business.

Xiang Dehao didn't have time to seek help from an expert.

Because of this incident, the Chengdong Grain Bureau held a special meeting today to criticize Xiang Dehao for engaging in feudal superstition, removed the director from his post, and asked him to make a serious review.

If Xiang Dehao doesn't go home tonight, he will be unrepentant, and the bureau will arrange a more severe punishment for him tomorrow.

Wherever he dared to go home, Xiang Dehao planned to hang out in the guard's office in the family area all night.

It was fine at first.

After dark, 'Why Harm Me' and 'Come Back My Life' appeared again.

Xiang Dehao screamed in fright.

When the guard heard the noise and came to check, there was nothing.

"I won't report you, so don't bother me either."

Xiang Dehao pointed to a wall and said with a blushing face: "It was really there just now, right here."

The guard was very timid and disapproved.

"Not only did I not see it, but there were so many neighbors on the left and right, and no one saw it in the past two days."

"If you do something wrong and feel guilty, you have to confess, otherwise you will always be suspicious."

Being pointed out for his sore foot, Xiang Dehao said excitedly: "What can I have to blame? I'm very open-minded!" "That would be best if you don't. If you cause trouble for me again, don't stay here tonight." ”

The doorman didn't bother to answer.

at the same time.

Under a nearby streetlight.

Li Ming met up with Captain Sha, who still had the same weather-beaten old yellow face.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Captain Sha, tonight."

"That's where the responsibility lies." Captain Sha brought two security guards with him, both of whom were familiar faces.

"This is an anonymous letter written to me by someone, hoping that I would investigate the real cause of death of Xiang Dehao's wife."

Li Ming handed the forged letter to Captain Sha.

There was a previous communication on the phone, and Captain Sha took the letter and read it quickly.

"I checked the records and found that the matter at his house was not reported to our branch. The people from the security station just looked at it and closed the case. You know why."

Suddenly, there are too many similar cases, and most people will be careless and not investigate so carefully.

"Physical evidence is probably hard to come by. We'll have to rely on Captain Sha's questioning later to see if we can find any flaws in him."

"Xiang Dehao has been fine for the past three months, but suddenly his conscience is uneasy. Things are still a bit strange."

Captain Sha's main purpose tonight is to investigate this. Otherwise, their Public Security Bureau can investigate even the case where the body is missing.

Li Ming nodded and said: "It's quite strange. That's why I invite you to participate. Let's see if someone is pretending to be a ghost."

"Let's go now."

"Let's go."

The group of people walked to the guard room of the family area of ​​the Grain Bureau to learn about the situation first, and 'accidentally' discovered that Xiang Dehao was there.

The guard asked: "Comrade, who are you looking for?"

Captain Sha said loudly: "We are from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Chengdong Public Security Bureau. Who is this person next to you?"

The doorman hurriedly replied: "He is Xiang Dehao, the resident upstairs. He is here to help on duty tonight."

Xiang Dehao, who looked horrified, wrote on the white paper he just saw, 'Confess to the Public Security Bureau!Otherwise I will kill you tonight! '

People from the Chengdong Public Security Bureau will be here soon.

Not a coincidence.

It only appeared in the middle of the night the night before, and he almost died last night. It appeared so early tonight, and it became worse day by day. I really couldn't survive it.

Xiang Dehao grasped at straws and said, "I am guilty. I have harmed people."

Captain Sha didn't expect this to be the case, "Who did you hurt?"

"It was my wife. She scratched me first, yes, and pinched me. I resisted and then accidentally killed her." Xiang Dehao said a little incoherently.

Captain Sha followed closely, "She scratched you, where did she scratch you? Are there any wounds?"

Xiang Dehao put his hand on his face and said, "It's on the left side of my face, and it's on the right side of my face as well."

This question is very critical. After questioning neighbors and other witnesses, it can be used as confirmation of the confession.

At this time, there is a presumption of guilt. When the physical evidence is incomplete, the confession can be judged to be true and credible if it closely matches the testimony of the witness.

Decades later, this cannot be accepted accurately because the evidence needs to be proven beyond doubt and the strength of the evidence is lacking.

Captain Sha then asked: "Where are you pinching? Where are you pinching?"

Xiang Dehao hesitated and said: "This is the neck."

Captain Sha immediately questioned, "Neck? Do you mean your wife wants to kill you?"

With his back to everyone, Xiang Dehao saw a blank piece of paper in his field of vision, "How dare you quibble!" '

Xiang Dehao pointed at the wall, "Look behind you!"

Li Ming shouted, "Are you trying to say there's something trick going on behind the scenes?"

"If you honestly confess your crimes and your resentment disappears, there will naturally be no more tricks."

"If you shirk your responsibilities with excuses, then naturally there will always be tricks chasing you."

Xiang Dehao admitted: "That morning, my wife only scratched me, not pinched me."

"At that time, I was so angry that I was so angry that I tied a fine linen rope around her neck."

"I pressed my chest against her head, grabbed the end of the rope with both hands, and pulled it up symmetrically from left to right, causing strangulation marks on her neck, which was like a suicide hanging."

"Neighbors and relatives found nothing unusual. After reporting the incident, the security officer took a casual look and left."

Captain Sha wanted to ask about the motive for the crime, "Such a method is not something that ordinary people can suddenly think of."

"I have to quarrel every now and then. It's really tiring. I don't want to live like this forever, but she doesn't want a divorce. Rather than living in pain together, it would be better for her to die early and have a baby."

Suddenly Xiang Dehao knelt down and shouted: "Don't come to me again! Go and be reincarnated! Live a better life!"

Li Ming said slowly: "If you confess and be lenient and accept a just trial, your wife will naturally be able to reincarnate with peace of mind."

Captain Sha ordered a security guard to go into the building to find someone to testify. He was ready to strike while the iron was hot and immediately identify and simulate the scene to make the case a solid case.

Xiang Dehao had already gone all out and simulated the murder process on his bed at home, including hanging the body on the bed frame to fake a suicide scene.

Several neighbors came forward to testify that they did see injuries on Xiang Dehao's face that day.

As long as Xiang Dehao does not retract his confession, the case is over.

Naturally, Captain Sha and others will handle the end of the matter.

Li Ming went back to the small world to find Lou Xiao'e who had been waiting for a long time.

Cabins in a desert oasis.

The record player on the stone table in front of the door played light music.

Lou Xiao'e is tidying up the front and back of the house. She wants to build a small fence and plant some flowers and plants such as trellis and morning glory.

"Xiao'e." She must say hello first, otherwise she will be shocked.

"You're back so soon."

"It went surprisingly well. We went over to find Xiang Dehao, and he took the initiative to explain the incident."

Despite the speculation, Lou Xiao'e was still a little surprised, "He really killed the person!"

"My wife is so cruel!"

Li Ming said casually: "When you are disgusted, there is no such thing as ruthlessness."

"If he hadn't come to provoke us, the truth would have been concealed and he could have been at large."

"He's not the only one. There are many things that have been concealed by others, and we can't control them."

Throughout ancient history, impunity is the norm, while bringing to justice is rare.

Placing our trust in gods or hell gives ordinary people psychological comfort.

Now that there is no God, the demand for justice is even higher, otherwise the energy of public anger will be terrifying.

Lou Xiao'e didn't worry too much. She couldn't protect herself and lived in hiding.

Putting down the small shovel, Lou Xiao'e said with a smile: "You helped Sister Qin get rid of a big trouble. When she comes, let her behave well."

Li Ming chuckled and said, "Your little tongue is so flexible. You can help me deal with her later."

"I do not want it."

Li Ming slowly rubbed the small waist that was in his hands, "The two of us will deal with her together."

"That's pretty much it, and you have to go first."

"Listen to you." (End of chapter)
