The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 416 Zhou Que and the Sniper

"Driver Li, please don't do anything."

Master Zhang entered the workshop and was shocked when he saw that the handle of the grenade had been removed.

"Lao Zhang, why are you so surprised? You really want me to blow up the workshop?" Li Aiguo said with a frown as his hands shook.

"You, Driver Li." Director Zhang wanted to say something else.

Minister Niu stepped forward and stopped him.

"The Ministry of Armed Forces is doing business, please don't interfere."

The Armed Forces Department is a relatively special unit in the locomotive depot in these years. The subordinates are responsible for public security issues in the detachment, and the superiors are responsible for employee ideological evaluation.

And the people in the armed forces are all big bosses.

The average workshop leader keeps a respectful distance from them.

"But this is a grenade, Minister Niu, it's too dangerous." Director Zhang said timidly.

Can that thing be repaired?

Zhou Que?

The old woman's husband was a clerk at the grain station. When the old woman saw her before, she always addressed her as Sister Zhou.

The large iron door of the detention center located on the outskirts of Beijing slowly opened.

Even if you kick this thing now, it won't explode.

Li Aiguo removed all the accessories in the handle, leaving the projectile body, then took out a blueprint from his pocket and handed it to Director Zhang.

Behind him, a lesbian dressed as a supervisor stood looking at Zhou Que with a sigh in her heart.

It was really uncomfortable to walk with my pants down.

Zhou Que tied two shoelaces together to make a belt and tied it around his waist. Only then did he regain his former energy.

Besides, isn't it just dismantling a grenade? What's the danger?

Just when Li Aiguo was busy making RPG.

It was as if that belt had tied her now in embarrassment to the decent stationmaster's wife before.

Zhou Que also had to bear the charge of not reporting the matter and was sentenced to three months.

This thing seems a bit amazing!

But since Minister Niu was following, it must have been approved by his superiors. He nodded and said, "Okay, the materials are all ready. I will arrange for the masters to work immediately."

Of course, he no longer cares about this at this time, as long as the grenade is not dangerous, that's fine.

The detention center is not a place for people. She needs to go home and have a good sleep.

Red deer was caught because he was greedy for food and oppressed the people.

When she was released later, the belt was inexplicably missing. It was a real cowhide belt.

"Thank you for the discipline." Zhou Que, like a wooden man, bowed to the discipline.

Just entered the compound.

She was holding quilts and clothes in her hands, her face was sallow, her hair was messy, and her whole body exuded a strange smell, as if she had been seriously ill.

But now, I can only drink the northwest wind.

Although Red Deer took everything into his own hands.

Zhou Que took a big bus and returned to the Grain Station Family Courtyard near Xizhimen.

Now I call him by his first name.

This woman is the daughter-in-law of Ma Lu, the former head of the grain station.

She stopped suddenly, threw the clothes on the ground, and rummaged through them. When she found the two shoelaces, she cried with joy.

Director Zhang: "."

Then I staggered for a while while holding my quilt and clothes.

A fat figure moved out of the iron gate with difficulty.

Relying on the red deer, Zhou Que can eat hot and spicy food.

"Director, I need to trouble you to find some masters to help weld a tail fin."

"Ah, Zhou Que, ah, why are you back?" Sister-in-law Wang exclaimed.

Zhou Que was stopped by neighbor Mrs. Wang.

The air was particularly fresh that day, and she felt comfortable breathing. She walked extraordinarily high, paying no attention to the spectators on the roadside, and left the detention center with her head held high.

If it had been before, Zhou Que would have slapped him in the face.

"Tail fin?" Director Zhang looked at the drawings, seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed.

When I was on the battlefield, I even repaired grenades! "

"Zhou Que, after you go out, you must start a new life and never do that kind of thing of bullying the people again."

These people can't live a good life, so why do they want to take bribes?

The guard sighed in his heart, and then warned: "Zhou Que, we have contacted the match factory. You can go to the match factory tomorrow to work as a temporary worker. Although your man was sentenced to thirty years and my son was sentenced to twenty years, But life has to go on."

Since entering the detention center, my belt has been confiscated.

Minister Niu patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, the two of us were outside just now and have removed the safety.

Now that I think of my identity, I can only force out a smile.

Zhou Que said: "My matter is not that serious. The superiors have been lenient to me because of my good performance."

"Old Wang, I'm a little tired and want to go back and rest."

As he spoke, Zhou Que wanted to leave, but was stopped by Mrs. Wang.

"Zhou Que, go home? Where is your home?"

"Isn't this my home?" Zhou Que pointed to a tube building in front of him.

As the head of the grain station, Ma Lu owns a two-bedroom house on the second floor. It is also the best house in the family compound. The floor is paved with terrazzo!

Pfft, after hearing this, Mrs. Wang sneered and said: "Your chief stationmaster committed a crime, was caught, and was fired from the grain station. Your house has been sealed up by the superiors."

Zhou Que's eyes darkened and he almost fainted.

Is your home just gone?

An angry voice came out of her throat: "They have gone too far! That's my house, why should they!"

"Zhou Que, are you pretending to be stupid? Your family stole more than five thousand yuan, which made our grain station famous all over the capital. Now my old Wang feels like he can't hold his head up even when he goes out. Do you still want to live there? Here, it is simply wishful thinking!" Sister-in-law Wang's eyes burst out with angry fire.

The workers at the grain station are treated very well. In addition to their salary, they also receive a monthly subsidy of five yuan.

Because of the Wulu incident, not only did all the station's employees have to write self-criticisms, but all subsidies were also cancelled.

How can these workers who rely on their wages not hate Red Deer?

The people living in the compound were family members of the grain station, and they all gathered around when they heard the noise.

Seeing the arrogant wife of the stationmaster in such a miserable state now, they felt no sympathy at all.

In the past, Zhou Que relied on Ma Lu to bully the residents of the compound. Now, naturally, people have to take revenge and complain.

"Zhou Que, the little shit your family did has brought shame on our grain station."

"This is no longer your home!"

"Now get out of here."

Seeing that the residents who greeted her with smiles in the past dared to point fingers at her now, Zhou Que suddenly became angry.

"You old guys, how dare you scold me? I'm not someone to be trifled with."

Zhou Que rolled up his sleeves and wanted to teach those old ladies a lesson.

Wow.

Before he finished speaking, some lady poured a basin of vegetable water on him.

Zhou Que was hit all over and turned into a drowned rat.

A cabbage leaf slipped from her hair, and Zhou Que was so disgusted that she almost vomited.

"you."

As soon as he finished speaking, another basin of vegetable water was poured over.

Zhou Que was so frightened that he backed away.

What frightened her even more was that the residents picked up sticks one after another.

Zhou Que could only stumble out of the grain station compound.

Walking on the street, she was so angry that her teeth chattered.

"They are all a bunch of snobs. Seeing that my red deer has lost power, they dare to bully me!"

"Red deer, son, if you are still here, how dare they do this to me."

"It's all that damn Li Aiguo's fault!"

It was already entering the cold winter, and the clothes were sticky to the body. A gust of cold wind blew, and the air was as biting as a sharp knife. Zhou Que couldn't help but shiver.

She raised her sleeves to wipe her face, gritted her teeth and said, "Li Aiguo, I'm not done with you!"

In Zhou Que's view, if Li Aiguo hadn't "made trouble out of nothing" and insisted on following his son, Ma Lu would not have been pulled down.

She won't be locked up for several months, she won't be homeless now, and she won't be bullied by the residents.

An ordinary woman would have already started to think of ways to find a way out, such as working as a temporary worker in a match factory.

But don't forget, Zhou Que's cousin is Zhang Dequan, who joined the Youth Gang before liberation and became a minor leader.

He also served as the security chief of the puppet government. He had dozens of thugs under his command and ran rampant on the flyover for thirty years.

Zhou Que was also cruel and determined to get rid of Li Aiguo.

She hired a donkey that rode backwards for a dime.

Half an hour later, Zhou Que appeared in a small alley on the outskirts of the city.

Walk along the alley to the end and enter the innermost courtyard.

This is Zhou Que’s natal family’s old house. After Zhang Dequan was arrested, several brothers from her mother's family left the capital for fear of being implicated by Zhang Dequan.

This old house is in the name of a distant relative, and Zhou Que usually uses it to hide those shady things.

Zhou Que looked around and saw that no one was around. He dug out a key in the corner, unlocked the door and stepped into the yard.

After a while.

When Zhou Que came out again, she had changed into clean clothes and had a few hard things in her arms.

After Zhou Que locked the door, he walked out of the alley and called for another donkey riding backwards.

"Master, go to Xindu Brick and Tile Factory in Xisanqi Street."

"okay!"

The boss agreed and waited for the tricycle to drive away quickly.

After a moment, a large brick-red chimney came into view.

Xindu Brick and Tile Factory is the largest brick kiln factory in Beijing and the predecessor of Jingcheng Brick Kiln Factory.

Brick kilns are full of hard physical work. Only if you can withstand the high temperature of 50 or 60 degrees Celsius and withstand the soot that sticks to your face all day long can you be a brick factory worker.

Therefore, the background requirements for workers are relatively low, and there are still some unidentified people working as temporary workers.

The man Zhou Que is looking for this time is one of them.

When he came to the gate of the brick kiln factory, Zhou Que did not go directly into the factory to find anyone. Instead, he went to the restaurant next door to buy a cake and asked for a bowl of tea.

She squatted on the side of the road, eating pancakes and waiting for the other party to come out.

After get off work time.

Workers came out of the factory one after another.

When he saw a burly man approaching, Zhou Que's eyes lit up. He threw the remaining half of the pancake into the drainage ditch next to him, then stood up and walked over.

The two faced each other, and at the moment of contact, Zhou Que pretended to stumble and fell towards the burly man.

"Sister-in-law, please be careful."

The burly man had quick eyes and quick hands, and reached out to support Zhou Que.

When he saw Zhou Que's appearance clearly, the burly man looked a little surprised, and the scar at the corner of his mouth seemed to turn red.

"Thank you, comrade." Zhou Que stood up and left as if nothing had happened.

The burly man looked a little strange. He stopped and looked at the co-workers beside him: "Old Cao, I won't go drinking tonight. Let's get together next time."

"Zhang Liang, are you in a hurry to go back and hug your little wife?" The workers shouted: "You have a daughter-in-law and you don't even care about your old friends. How can you be such a person?"

It wasn't until Zhang Liang repeatedly stated that he would definitely treat him to a treat next time that the brick kiln workers let him go.

Zhang Liang turned around and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

He raised his eyes to look at Zhou Que's back, let out a long sigh, and quickly chased after him.

After turning around the busy alley and passing through the crowded vegetable market, the two of them entered the waste coal factory one after another.

This used to be an old coal factory, where workers burned charcoal. Later, they felt that the smoke was too much, so the coal factory was moved to the suburbs.

The yard was deserted, except for a few children playing a game of catching Diet among the ruins.

Zhang Liang looked at the children and turned towards a dilapidated factory building.

Pushing open the dilapidated wooden door, he saw Zhou Que leaning on a wooden pillar, staring at him with strange eyes!

"Sister Zhou, what do you want from me?" Zhang Liang touched his right trouser pocket, hooked his feet on the wooden door and closed it.

With a squeaking sound, the factory suddenly became dark.

The sunlight shone on Zhou Que's face through the broken window, making her round face dim and bright, making her look particularly gloomy.

"Zhang Liang, okay, Brother Zhang will feel more comfortable after eating the peanuts."

A cold voice came out of Zhou Que's mouth, and a chill hit Zhang Liang's heart.

He put his right hand in his pocket and smiled awkwardly: "Sister Zhou, it's thanks to my brother that he didn't confess me back then, so my brother was able to save his life."

"It's good that you know this." Zhou Que stood up and stared at Zhang Liang: "I came to you today because I want you to help me kill someone."

"Killing someone?" Zhang Liang's expression changed, "I haven't done that for many years, and my hand was born a long time ago. I'm afraid it will delay Sister Zhou!"

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that Dong Batian's sniper guns back then have accepted the transformation of the new society and no longer dare to kill people. It really made me laugh to death."

Zhou Que leaned forward and backward with laughter, as if he had heard the funniest thing in the world, and the fat on his face trembled.

Sudden.

The smile stopped suddenly, and there was a stern look in her eyes. She looked at Zhang Liang and said: "Sniper Gun, you may have heard that my old man was also arrested, and my son was also arrested. Now I am alone. It can be said that there is no one to rely on.

If you don't help me with this, then don't blame me for being unethical and sending you in. "

"Sister Zhou, you treated me well back then, but now that I have a family and a family, I really don't want to bother anymore. Although being a brick kiln worker is a bit harder, my life is much better than before liberation. If you have the opportunity to be a good person, who wants to be a good person?" Bad guy”

Zhang Liang spoke and walked slowly towards Zhou Que.

"Stop!" Zhou Que roared: "Sniper guns, others know that you are good at playing with guns, but I know that you are also good at using daggers. If I am not wrong, you must have a dagger in your pocket."

"Do you think I am unprepared when I come here to see you alone? In fact, I have written seven or eight reporting letters, which are related to your crimes. As long as I can't go back, someone will take those letters submit."

Hearing this, Zhang Liang froze on the spot. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Sister Zhou, you are still so cautious. If Bago had been willing to listen to you and restrained himself after liberation, he would not have ended up like this. .”

Zhou Que took out three small yellow croakers from his pocket and threw them on the ground.

"Of course, I won't let you work in vain. I heard that your little wife is a spendthrift."

The golden light of the little yellow croaker reflected in Zhang Liang's eyes, shaking his heart, and he took a deep breath.

"Sister Zhou, who do you want me to kill?"

"Is there any difference? No matter who it is, no one can escape your bullet." Zhou Que raised the corner of his mouth proudly when he heard that he agreed.

Despite his honest appearance, this Zhang Liang looks like a real worker, but he originally joined the puppet army.

And because of his good marksmanship, he was favored by the Japanese.

The Japanese promoted him to the regiment as a sniper and gave him a Type 97 sniper rifle (Japanese: Type 97 sniper gun).

This is also the origin of his nickname.

Zhang Liang contributed a lot to the Japanese at that time, and even received a commendation.

The Japanese also promised him that if he made great achievements, he would be allowed to join the Japanese nationality.

Zhang Liang seemed to have suddenly reached the pinnacle of his life.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long for the Japanese to retreat.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Liang sneaked away from the regiment with a sniper rifle and found Zhang Ba, who had been a security guard.

The situation at that time was complicated and chaotic. With Zhang Ba's mediation, he spent a lot of money and made many connections, and finally helped him clear his identity.

Since then, Zhang Liang has become Zhang Ba's chief thug.

When encountering a ruthless character who is difficult to deal with, Zhang Liang can set up his sniper rifle and gently pull the trigger, and the opponent will fall to the ground.

After Zhou Que decided to deal with Li Aiguo, the first person he thought of was Zhang Liang.

She had found out that Li Aiguo knew a lot of boxing and kicking skills, and ordinary people couldn't get close to him.

And the train driver is also equipped with a gun. If you want to kill him, a sniper rifle is the best choice.

"That man's name is Li Aiguo. He is a train driver and works in the Qianmen Locomotive Depot."

Zhou Que told Zhang Liang the target information and left with peace of mind.

Zhang Liang looked at her back, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

After returning home.

Zhang Liang began to arrange a sniper operation.

Zhang Liang is no wild man.

Having received formal training and being fellow disciples with Akutagawa Takashi, he knew very well that in order to successfully complete a sniper kill, he had to understand the other person's living habits.

Then lie in ambush on the road that must pass through the place.

For this reason, Zhang Liang also took five days of leave.

According to the regulations of the brick kiln factory, each worker can take up to five days of leave at a time. If it exceeds, wages will be deducted.

the next day.

As usual, Zhang Liang said goodbye to his young wife, borrowed a bicycle, and went to the Qianmen Locomotive Depot to inquire about Li Aiguo's situation.

This is easy to find out, after all, Li Aiguo is now the benchmark in the maintenance section.

Even the aunt who sells candied haws at the entrance of the locomotive depot has heard of Li Aiguo's name.

Zhang Liang ate five bunches of candied haws in a row and figured out Li Aiguo's shift.

Then he went to Beijing Station to buy a platform ticket, pretended to be riding the train, and recognized Li Aiguo clearly.

When things have reached this point, the next step should be to find the opportunity to make a move.

But Zhang Liang encountered difficulties.

Li Aiguo now only drives his car every day and stays in the maintenance workshop, never leaving the maintenance section.

Is it difficult for this kid not to go home?

Zhang Liang was extremely anxious. After all, he only had four days of vacation.

He originally planned to kill someone and then go back to work.

He has been very active this year and may be rated as an outstanding worker at the end of the year. If he is absent from work, he will not get this title.

Of course, Zhang Liang did not dare to enter the maintenance section to take action because the risk was too great.

Snipers should be patient.

Zhang Liang decided to wait at the entrance of the locomotive depot, waiting for Li Aiguo to come out, and then find a deserted place to kill him.
