The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 247 Shang Chonghou was arrested

Next steps for the task force.

Let Li Aiguo see what efficiency is.

The portrait was taken into negatives by comrades from the technical department.

In order to clean thousands of photos, I "borrowed" 21 photo studios.

It is said that on that day, those young men and women who needed to take wedding photos in the capital had to wander around half of the capital before they got what they wanted.

After the photo is cleaned.

The Qianmen Locomotive Depot Armed Forces Department and the Qianmen Locomotive Depot Police Station immediately stopped all work.

Send the photos to local police stations, sub-district offices, and hospital managers, and ask them to assist in the investigation.

soon.

The situation of 'Old Shang' was found out.

It took less than half a day from the time the photos were sent to the locomotive depot to getting the files of the 'Lao Shang'.

Yin Jialan, who came to provide information, is the steward of the No. [-] courtyard in Gouyantou.

She is about 50 years old. Although she is a lesbian, she is not inferior to men, and she stands firm in the face of major issues.

In front of Minister Niu, he categorically stated that as long as anyone in the courtyard knew where Shang Chonghou was hiding, he must ask.

As long as Hu Wenhai is still hiding in the capital, he must be caught before the task force and never let him go.

The task force quickly launched an operation, jointly with local units, and launched a large-scale investigation.

Shang Chonghou's relatives, classmates, fellow villagers, and friends, as long as they know or have spoken to each other, must come to check, see clearly, and understand the situation!
When Li Aiguo returned to the locomotive depot from the hospital, the task force had completed the first round of investigation and had a thorough understanding of Shang Chonghou's situation.

Shang Chonghou, 52 years old this year, had a relatively good life when he was young.

Later, the family's fur shop was burned down by rebels during the war, and both his parents died in the fire. From then on, he lived a life of deprivation.

Later he entered the watchmaking industry as an apprentice.

Because he was diligent and literate, it only took him two years to become a shopkeeper and marry a woman named Zhao.

On the eve of liberation.

The owner of the watch shop moved his family to Hong Kong City, while Shang Chonghou stayed in the capital and was unemployed. The woman named Zhao died of illness.

After liberation.

Because Shang Chonghou was literate, he was hired by the supply and marketing cooperative and became a salesman.

The file contents are simple.

There are many doubts.

At that time, watch shops were similar to luxury stores in later generations.

How did an intern become the manager of a luxury goods resale store in just two years?

In addition, the death of the woman named Zhao is also full of doubts.

According to a neighbor of the businessman at the time.

The woman surnamed Zhao usually had no illness or disaster, but that night there was a fierce quarrel at the business.

The next day, the woman named Zhao died of illness.

Shang Chonghou spent money to obtain the doctor's death diagnosis certificate and reported it to the local police station to receive a "certificate for burial."

Shang Chonghou declined help from his neighbors.

After spending a lot of money, we found two rickshaw pullers on the street and buried the woman named Zhao in the cemetery in Mentougou.

In the conference room of the Armed Forces Department of the locomotive depot.

The dim lights flickered, and the air was filled with the choking smell of tobacco.

Minister Niu, Zhou Ke and other team members were smoking heavily and staring closely at Li Aiguo.

To be honest, this is the biggest case that the Qianmen Locomotive Depot has encountered since its establishment.

Even Minister Niu felt a little guilty.

Fortunately, there is also Li Aiguo.

This kid has worked with a five-person team for a period of time. He has rich experience and is proficient in arresting people.

Seeing Li Aiguo put down the file, Minister Niu handed over the cigarette, struck a match, and lit it for Li Aiguo himself.

"How about it, patriot, what do you think?"

hiss.
call.
Li Aiguo took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, frowned and said, "Now Shang Chonghou has run away, taking away all the family's belongings. He probably went straight to the south and then went to sea."

"From the capital to the south, you can either take a car or take a train."

Zhou Ke stood up and interrupted: "Wouldn't he take advantage of the darkness to get on his bicycle and leave the capital quietly?"

Before Li Aiguo could speak, Minister Niu shook his head: "This possibility is too small. If a person leaves the capital alone and walks on the road, he will definitely be suspected by the villagers along the way.

Moreover, he could not get a letter of introduction. "

This era was not like the free circulation of people like later generations.

There are militiamen in the villages in the countryside, and the common people don't have much entertainment activities. They just rely on "catching Dieter" for entertainment!

An old man with a Beijing accent, riding a bicycle, carrying a suitcase and a lot of belongings, is a proper Dieter!

It's a moving circus!

Minister Niu nodded heavily: "I will make arrangements now and ask the comrades in the local departments to focus on the bus station. We will be responsible for the train station."

"As for the highway leaving the capital, it also needs to be inspected. We should ask the local militia comrades to provide training."

As calls were made one after another, a large network spread across the capital.

Local militiamen set up checkpoints on the roads leaving the capital and distributed photos one by one to grassroots units.

Basically, we have achieved responsibility at all levels, so that everyone has a responsibility and a burden on their shoulders.

This was the first time that Li Aiguo personally participated in such a major event.

Looking at the busy team members and the phone ringing one after another, my blood boiled all over.

This is the real characteristic of this era - all the people are soldiers.

It's just that such a large-scale investigation will inevitably cause misunderstandings.

Especially the local comrades, adhering to the principle of not letting anyone go, who looks like Dieter.

In one afternoon, eleven Shang Chonghou were detained.

After screening them one by one, Li Aiguo returned to the locomotive depot with disappointment and exhaustion.

Riding a bicycle, just as he returned to the station, a figure rushed out from beside him and blocked Li Aiguo's way.

"Brother Patriot, what have you been busy with these two days?"

I saw Yan Jiecheng grabbing the handle of the car, blinking his little eyes, looking like a man who was eating melons.

He has been carrying coal every day for a while, and it has become darker and thicker, standing there like a calf.

"Nothing to do, don't ask around." Li Aiguo waved his hand to him and told him to step aside.

Yan Jiecheng looked around and saw no one. He came up to him secretly and lowered his voice: "Brother Patriot, are you trying to catch Dieter? How about you take me with you?"

"Slightly" Li Aiguo was stunned.

Can this thing be saved?
Yan Jiecheng said: "Carrying coal is too boring. Otherwise, I will follow you to the Armed Forces Ministry as a temporary worker. I heard that comrades in the Armed Forces Ministry will receive special daily allowances if they participate in operations."

Good guy, it turned out to be this sneaky idea.

"Xie Cheng, what is your background?" Li Aiguo asked suddenly without answering him.

"Little business owner, what's wrong?" Yan Jiecheng looked confused and wiped his face with a dark towel, leaving a black mark on his face.

Li Aiguo frowned and looked at him with some dissatisfaction:

"Small business owners are only a little better than capitalists, they are also an exploiting class, and they still want to touch the barrel of a gun?" "You are trying to dig a hole for me, how unreasonable!"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Jiecheng was immediately speechless, "No, it's not that I didn't think about it that much."

"I see, you are thinking too much." Li Aiguo gnashed his teeth and put on a righteous look: "Jie Cheng, you should still carry the coal honestly, strive to become a regular employee as soon as possible, and put your mind in the right place .”

"I know, you are more verbose than my father." Yan Jiecheng left dejectedly.

When he first came to the locomotive depot, Yan Jiecheng felt a little fresh.

After two months, he has had enough of carrying coal every day.

Li Aiguo shook his head and roared away on his bicycle.

If you pay, you will gain.

It was six o'clock in the morning the next day.

Li Aiguo, who was resting on the table, was awakened by the rapid ringing of the phone.

The call came from the attendant at the ticket hall in Beijing. They caught a Qingpi who was purchasing tickets on his behalf.

According to Na Qingpi's account, an old comrade who looked exactly like Shang Chonghou purchased a ticket from Beijing to Guangcheng through him.

The departure time is ten o'clock this morning.

Li Aiguo immediately informed Minister Niu of the situation.

10 minute later.

The members of the task force gathered together and prepared to go to the Beijing Railway Station.

Li Aiguo also stood up. Minister Niu waved to him and said with concern: "Aiguo, you have stayed up for four or five days in a row. Please don't participate in today's operation."

The train station is the territory of the locomotive depot. Minister Niu and others can easily defeat an old man.

It just so happened that Li Aiguo hadn't seen Chen Xueru for several days.

After telling them to be extremely careful, he yawned and returned to the locomotive depot dormitory.

Beijing Railway Station is the busiest railway station in China.

Under the cover of the passengers who were crossing the river, an old man with frosty hair on his temples was walking slowly towards the train, carrying a bamboo suitcase.

His weather-beaten body was also bent by the years. He walked very slowly and stumbled among the crowd, which was heart-wrenching to watch.

I don't know if it was intentional or not.

A female student wearing soap blue school uniform passed by.

The old man stumbled inexplicably and almost fell in front of the female student.

Seeing this, the female student quickly helped the old man up and asked about the train number. When she saw that he was on the same train as her, she supported him and walked towards the train.

The old man said: "Thank you, girl, you are a kind person."

"Old man, we are in a new society now. Our school is advocating respecting the elderly and loving the young recently!" The two braids on the back of the female student's head swayed from side to side, making her very lively.

The old man sighed: "The new society is great. We, the people, are the masters of the country."

The flight attendant stood at the carriage door to check tickets.

The carriage has two steps from the ground.

The old man handed the ticket to the girl and asked her to help her come forward to check the ticket and get on the bus without delay.

"Grandpa, I need a letter of introduction to take the train. Where is your letter of introduction?"

"Letter of introduction, yes, I have a letter of introduction."

The old man put his rough hands tremblingly into his pocket and touched it for a while, but couldn't find it.

"I remembered it in my pocket. My wife put it in before going out."

He began to become anxious, and sweat appeared on his forehead. With his dry fingers, he opened the hem of his coat and took out a handkerchief bag from the cloth belt.

Uncover the tattered handkerchief with no visible color.

Inside was a roll of change, all ten cents, very shabby.

Seeing that there was no letter of introduction, the old man was so anxious that the veins on his forehead were as thick as his little finger.

"My son is seriously ill in Guangcheng and needs urgent care.

It took a lot of effort to ask someone to buy the ticket. If there is any further delay,
My poor son! "

Two lines of hot tears rolled down from her eyes, fell on the ground, and also fell on the female student's heart.

The female student is soft-hearted and does not look like a bad person to the old man.

After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Uncle, don't worry. I am also coming to Guangcheng. I have a letter of introduction from the school. I will tell you that we are in the same boat later."

"Thank you, student boy, you are such a good person." The old man felt relieved, looked at the female student, and said with emotion.

On the platform, the passengers in line were quickly swallowed up by the train, and soon it was the old man's turn.

The female student stepped forward and handed the letter of introduction and two tickets to the conductor: "Comrade, I... we are going to Guangcheng."

The steward looked at the ticket and the letter of introduction, then looked up at the female student. His eyes swept over the old man's face. He thought they were the grandfather and grandson, so he didn't ask any more questions, so he stamped the ticket and the letter of introduction in ink. .

"Thank you comrade."

The old man murmured in a vague dialect, took the ticket, and with the support of the female student, slowly walked onto the train as the queue moved.

The heart hanging in his throat finally fell to the ground.

As long as you take the train out of the capital and arrive in the south, someone will pick you up.

Just climbed the last step.

"Let's come."

The two policemen reached out and took the old man's arm from the bewildered female student.

The old man's expression changed greatly, and he wanted to struggle, but another policeman came up from behind, and his waist was pressed against the muzzle of a gun.

"Shang Chonghou, you are under arrest!"

The old man looked confused: "Who is Shang Chonghou? My name is Liu Mingde. I live at No. 25 Pipiao Hutong. I came to Guangcheng this time to visit my sick son."

The female student also felt that the police officer had made a mistake and helped explain: "Comrade, you have misunderstood. This old comrade did go to visit his son. He only borrowed my letter of introduction because he lost it."

The two policemen did not answer, but took out a portrait from their pockets and waved it in front of the old man.

"Shang Chonghou, do you think the person here looks like you?"

The old man looked at the portrait in disbelief: "You, you got a photo of me? You shouldn't. I have never taken a photo in these years."

"You want to know? Then come with us."

Considering that there were passengers behind him, the policemen cuffed Shang Chonghou without any nonsense.

Shang Chonghou's two trembling bent legs were almost unsteady, like weak dry branches.

He knew there was no hope of escape, so he turned his head and smiled reluctantly at the female student: "Student, I'm sorry, I can't write you a letter of praise."

Even though the female student had little experience in the world, she still saw the clues, and her face turned pale with fright.

After the police took the old man away, they also took the female student to the locomotive depot police station to learn about the situation.

After confirming that the female student was not suspected, she was asked to sign her name on the transcript.

"Little girl, the situation is complicated now. You need to be more careful in the future and don't stupidly become a shield for the bad guys."

The female student was a little worried: "Comrade, will this affect my schooling?"

"No, it is a good thing for you to help people and should be promoted."

Seeing that the female student was worried, the railway police also helped her with some ideological work.

If female students don't dare to help others because of this incident, then the gain outweighs the loss.

"Thank you, comrade, I understand!" The female student was relieved.
