Chapter 509 Zheng Pengcheng leaves
When the team leader returned to the production team, it was already evening. The villagers had already finished work and gone home, and some had even finished dinner.
Instead of going home, the captain went straight to Zhou Mingxuan's house.
At this time, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao had finished their meal and were chopping firewood there.
Liu Jingxue had reminded them long ago to take advantage of these two months to collect more firewood and prepare it for the winter.
The autumn harvest season is around mid to late September, and people have to work from dawn to dusk every day, leaving little time for them to collect firewood.
The two men also boasted that they would take care of the firewood in the cowshed.
Although they said so, Liu Jingxue had no intention of really letting them take charge of all the firewood in the cowshed. After all, she didn't even have to go into the mountains to collect firewood. She could just use her mind to get all the firewood from the mountains in the space. Why bother letting them waste their energy?
However, she did not plan to take care of everything. After all, if she let them develop bad habits and have them look after her in the future, she would be exhausted to death.
Since the beginning of this year, the work assigned to the people in the cowshed has become easier than before. In addition, their health has improved a lot after several months of recuperation. So they take advantage of their free time to go into the mountains to collect firewood and mountain products. Now they have stockpiled a lot of firewood and mountain products.
Of course, the firewood they stored was definitely not enough to survive the winter.
Liu Jingxue planned to prepare half of the missing firewood herself, in addition to what a few people would bring, and give the other half to Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao.
The gate of the courtyard was not closed, so the captain went straight into the yard.
The two men who were chopping wood saw the captain and hurriedly greeted him.
"Captain, why are you here?"
"Captain, I heard that a car entered the village today and they said it was the police.
Did Beijing send someone here?"
"Yes, Beijing has sent police here. Just like you said before, they want to take Zheng Pengcheng back to assist in the investigation.
I have already asked the public security comrades, and they said that Zheng Pengcheng will definitely not come back after he leaves.
The public security comrades have decided to take Zheng Pengcheng back to Beijing after he is discharged from the hospital in two days.
Whatever arrangements you have, you should arrange them quickly, otherwise it will be too late.
I have already told the police that before they return to Beijing, they will bring Zheng Pengcheng back to get his belongings and handle the formalities.", the captain reminded.
He had specially gone with the policeman to ask the doctor, who said that Zheng Pengcheng would be able to be discharged from the hospital and go home for treatment in two days. As for the follow-up examination, it didn't have to be in the same hospital, any hospital would be fine.
The Beijing police have decided that after Zheng Pengcheng is discharged from the hospital two days later, they will take him back to the Red Star Production Team to handle the formalities and then return directly to Beijing.
Hearing what the captain said, Zhou Mingxuan nodded and said, "Captain, thank you for coming here to give us the news.
We will arrange it tomorrow at the latest, so there won’t be any delays.”
The captain said a few more words and then left to go home.
After Zhou Mingxuan ran to close the gate, he came back and whispered to Zhao Junhao, "Tonight, when everyone is asleep, let's go to the educated youth site and return the badge to him."
Zhao Junhao frowned and said, "He must have made a mark."
“He left in a hurry that day, he had only one arm, and he was disturbed by the pain. The mark should not have been made carefully, and it was easily discovered.
Let's check it carefully and pay attention to it later.
He has lost his arm, has been away from home for a few days, and will soon be brought back to Beijing for trial. His mind is not on the two of us at all.
And even if he finds out, so what? In the current situation, do you think it will matter even if he knows that someone has entered?
The police from Beijing have been waiting for him for several days. The time left for him to clean up his things is definitely limited, but they don't have time to waste with him and play tricks on him to catch a thief.
If he brings it up, people might think he's stalling for time and urge him even more."
After listening to Zhou Mingxuan's words, Zhao Junhao thought for a while and said, "Mingxuan, I think what you said makes sense. Let's not worry about his mark or not, and just go in directly."
"Let's go in through the back door, not the front door.
He must have hurriedly taken his things and left when he came back that day, and he probably didn’t even go to the back door to check if anyone had come in.”
That night, after returning from studying in the cowshed, the two men did not sleep at all. They just closed their eyes and waited for everyone to fall asleep.
At midnight, Zhou Mingxuan was the first to get up from the bed and walk out of the room.
Hearing the noise, Zhao Junhao also got up, put on his shoes, and walked out.
"I can go alone, you don't have to go." Zhou Mingxuan said when he saw Zhao Junhao coming out.
“Let’s go together in pairs, and have someone stand guard.
There are many people living in the educated youth camp, so if someone gets up at night, they will be caught."
Zhou Mingxuan thought about it and nodded in agreement, "That's fine."
The two men chose dark places all the way, carefully arrived at the educated youth site, and climbed in from the vegetable garden.
Zhao Junhao was in charge of keeping watch, while Zhou Mingxuan pulled out a dagger from his trouser leg, inserted the blade into the crack of the door, and carefully pulled out the bolt.
Gently push the door open.
Fortunately, the house was newly built and the door was also new. The door hinges were very smooth and there was no sound when it was opened.
Because he wanted the police to find the dropped badge when they were watching Zheng Pengcheng cleaning up things, Zhou Mingxuan did not hide the badge in a secret place, but stuffed it directly into the pile of clothes. As long as Zheng Pengcheng tidied his clothes, the badge would fall out.
After putting his things away, Zhou Mingxuan did not touch anything else. He went straight out of the house and bolted the door again.
Three days later in the morning, the car came to the Red Star Production Brigade again and went directly to the brigade headquarters.
The captain who received the news hurried to the brigade headquarters.
"Comrade Public Security, are you going back?"
"The ticket has been bought. The train is this afternoon. I'm just going to bring him back to handle the formalities and get his things."
"So urgent?"
"I can't help it. We've already wasted a few days and they're pushing us hard."
"Then I won't waste your time. I'll help you with the formalities right away."
After completing the formalities and signing their names, the captain spoke politely to Zheng Pengcheng, who had remained silent and looked visibly haggard.
"Zheng Zhiqing, after you assist the police in their investigation, if you still want to come back, our production team will welcome you.
But here, you lost an arm, this sad place, I am afraid you don’t want to set foot on it again.”
Zheng Pengcheng forced a smile and said, "I will come and have a look if I have the chance in the future."
Several police officers took Zheng Pengcheng to the educated youth site to get their things.
After checking the lock, Zheng Pengcheng found that the mark he left that day was still there, so he unlocked the door and pushed it open.
Seeing that there was a back door, two police officers walked in directly to block the back door to prevent Zheng Pengcheng from escaping, while the other two police officers blocked the front door.
After a few days of transition, Zheng Pengcheng, who had already faced the reality, said nothing and began to pack his things.
While packing clothes, the badge fell to the ground and unfortunately rolled to the feet of a policeman who was guarding the back door.
The policeman bent down to pick it up and was about to return it to Zheng Pengcheng, but after seeing the badge clearly, he frowned, took a few quick steps, and handed the badge to the leader.
"Captain, please take a look at this.
This just fell out of Comrade Zheng’s clothes.”
The team leader took the badge and took a look at it. "Comrade Zheng seems to be very dissatisfied with the great leader."
When the badge fell, it had already attracted Zheng Pengcheng's attention.
After seeing it clearly, he knew that this was Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao's revenge for his previous actions.
"If I say that this thing is not mine and was placed here by someone to frame me, would you believe it?" Zheng Pengcheng tried to convince several people.
"Do you think I believe it?
This is Dongfanghong, and its circulation is extremely small. People without a certain background cannot get it at all. Even if they get it, they will collect it like a family heirloom. Who would be willing to treat it like this?
Of course, with your status, you can definitely get it, and you can also ignore him."
Zheng Pengcheng knew that no matter what he said at this moment, it would be useless, especially since this thing was indeed his.
His silence was seen by the police as acquiescence.
"I'll hand it in when we get back to Beijing." The team leader put the badge in his pocket.
Zheng Pengcheng returned in a hurry and left in a hurry, taking only what he could take away. Things like pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar were left untouched and left for the team leader to deal with.
