Chapter 114: Wooden Prospers in the Forest (Three)

Hou Weidong returned home. He turned on the TV, searched it, found "Sunrise in the East and Rain in the West", and then lay on the bed and watched casually. Suddenly, the landline in front of the bed rang out sharply. It was already one o'clock in the morning. Calling over at such a late night made Hou Weidong a little puzzled and nervous.

"Home was stolen, come here quickly... call the doctor from the health center... Zhang Lan can't do it anymore, hurry up." Zeng Xiangang's voice came clearly, intermittently, and his words were like pulling a bellows, which was extremely difficult.

Zeng Xiangang's family had a phone call not long ago. Because they cherished the phone, Zeng Xiangang's wife covered the phone tightly with cloth. Several masked people did not expect that there was a phone in his house, so they did not break the phone line.

Hou Weidong jumped up from the bed like an electric shock. He rushed to the fourth floor and knocked on Xi Zhaoyong's door. After knocking Xi Zhaoyong up, Xi Zhaoyong immediately turned around and carried the handcuffs and the high-pressure police officer in his hands.

"Brother Xi, you go and call the health center, I'll call the bus driver." Although Hou Weidong was panicked, his thoughts were very clear.

The bus driver was a fat man who had already fallen asleep. He was awakened by a violent knock on the door. He was so angry that he drove. "Who is it? What a name? I have to leave the car tomorrow morning. Help me. Director Zeng's house in Jianshan Village was stolen. His wife may not be able to do it anymore. We will send the doctor from the health center."

The fat driver said hesitantly, "I'm going to get out at six o'clock."

"In an emergency, I will explain it clearly to the people who are taking the bus, and they will understand it." Hou Weidong knew that the bus was contracted, so he grabbed a handful of money from his body. He said, "This is tomorrow's compensation, get out of the bus quickly."

The fat driver put the money in his pocket, turned around and put on his leather shoes and clothes. Hou Weidong ran to the room of the village chief Gao and knocked the village chief Gao off the bed.

Everyone moved very quickly, and it took only more than half an hour from receiving the phone to driving a bus to Zeng Xiangang's home.

As soon as everyone approached the door, they smelled a strong smell of blood. Hou Weijiang's heart rose to his throat. Xi Zhaoyong walked to the front and said, "Don't touch and move around, don't destroy the scene." He shone the scene inside with a flashlight, put on gloves, touched the light rope in front of the door, and turned on the light.

Hou Weidong and others were standing at the door, and Zeng Xiangang knelt in front of the bed covered in blood, the phone and microphone fell aside, while Zeng Xiangang's wife was lying on the ground, with blood flowing in a big stall.

Everyone was stunned by the tragic scene inside.

Xi Zhaoyong was the most calm and said, "I'll give you my phone." He took the phone handed over by Hou Weidong, called the duty room of the Public Security Bureau, and said, "I am Xi Zhaoyong from Qinglin Police Station. A murder case occurred at Zeng Xiangang's home in Qinglinjian Mountain Village, Qinglin Town."

The doctor from the township health center came in to check the situation of the two people. Hou Weidong asked anxiously outside the door: "Director Li, what's the situation?" Director Li checked it. His face was extremely heavy, and he said: "Zeng Xiangang is still breathing. His wife is finished, call me."

President Li of the Township Hospital dialed the home phone number of President Chen of the county hospital, told the story, and emphasized: "The man is still there to be rescued. President Chen quickly sent an ambulance to come."

More than three hours later, the police car from the Public Security Bureau arrived at Zeng Xiangang's home. Twenty minutes later, the ambulance also came. After inspection, Zeng Xiangang's wife was cut open and died on the spot. Zeng Xiangang was stabbed nine times and was already in a deep coma. The emergency doctor of the county hospital put an oxygen hood on him and drove straight to the county hospital. Secretary Tang Guiyuan took this without money and followed the ambulance to the county hospital.

As soon as Zeng Xian left, the county criminal police brigade and the Qinglin Police Station police officers who came to Wen Xun began the case investigation work. They pulled out a cordon on the outside of the yard, turned on the headlights, began to collect fingerprints, and extract other relevant evidence. A black-skinned policeman in his thirties took Hou Weidong to the main hall and began to inquire.

After all the work was finished, there was a bright line in the sky. The women's director of Jianshan Village arranged a large basin of noodles. More than a dozen policemen sat in the yard and ate noodles in a slight manner. They got up from the bed in the middle of the night. After working for several hours, these policemen were really tired.

The news of the Zeng family being robbed spread wildly. Hundreds of villagers from Jianshan Village stood outside the cordon and looked at the house with their heads and minds. Shangqinglin was a strong custom, inconvenient transportation, and the villagers were ordinary and poor, and few people were wandering around. Therefore, there were very few criminal cases. Such robbery and murder cases have not happened in ten years.

Hou Weidong looked at the villagers pointing at him in a daze. His mind was full of the voices, appearances and smiles of Zeng Xiangang and his wife. A tall and thin plainclothes policeman walked to Hou Weidong with a bowl of noodles and said, "You have dinner here last night and talk about the situation."

Hou Weidong repeated the story in its original form.

The tall and thin man waved and called Director Qin to his side. He said affirmatively: "From the investigation, this is a premeditated murder case, and the nature is very bad. Who did Zeng Xiangang offend?"

Director Qin's face was covered in blood and said, "Layout, Zeng Xiangang is the village committee director, and the masses have a good relationship. I think this is a case of robbery and murder. Zeng Xiangang opened two stone yards, and has made a lot of money recently and has installed air conditioners."

The tall and thin one is Director Bu Dexin, who is in charge of criminal investigation by the Public Security Bureau. He put the noodle bowl on the ground and said, "Yes, my feeling is robbery and murder. This is the direction of the case. I hope Zeng Xiangang will not die and can provide more clues."

After asking about the materials, Hou Weidong dragged his tired feet and returned to the township government courtyard.

A group of people stood in the small courtyard of the township government. Seeing Hou Weidong and Township Chief Gao come back, they hurriedly surrounded him. Chi Ming's husband Tian Dadao opened the stone yard, so she asked sensitively: "Crazy, what's the situation? What's going on?" Hou Weidong looked dim and said: "There is someone coming from the Public Security Bureau, and there is no final definition yet."

Township Mayor Gao looked at Duan Fa, Tian Xiuying and others surrounded the yard, and there were many residents of the town, and he said, "Everyone is going back to work, and if something happens, the Public Security Bureau will naturally solve the case. Don't guess it."

"It's obvious that Bangerke is just grabbing money." Tian Xiuying said sourly: "It's better for us poor people, no one can remember it. It's safe to feel at night. Money is not a good thing."

This was an obvious gloating. Tian Xiuying's big round face was like a green-headed fly, and it was indescribable to disgust. Hou Weidong was in a bad mood and stared at her. If his eyes could turn into a fly swatter, he would definitely take pictures without hesitation and beat her up.

Chi Ming chased to the stairs and asked, "Madman, why haven't Dadao and Xi Zhaoyong come back?" Hou Weidong reminded, "They are going to the police station. You should be careful these days. This group of people are here to grab money. They are cruel and be careful." Chi Ming said nervously, "The door lock in the yard is broken, I'll find someone to repair it quickly."

Back at the small door, Hou Weidong closed the door and locked the door. He walked around the house for a few times, but he could not get rid of the tragic scene in Zeng Xiangang's house. The smell of blood seemed to be floating in the air. I don't know how long I sat there, but Hou Weidong took out three passbooks from the wing. These three passbooks were an important achievement of his business of the stone yard. How to keep these three comments stumped Hou Weidong.

It was obviously unsafe under the bed. In the box, it was even more of the target of the robber. In the lamp, he was afraid of being ignited, under the table, afraid of being taken away by mice, so he searched all corners of the room. He could not accommodate three thin passbooks. After thinking about it, Hou Weidong decided to buy a house in Yiyang and put these passbooks in the room with anti-theft doors and anti-theft networks. At the same time, he also planned to leave a secret wall when installing the house and store the passbooks specifically.

After a little shock, Xi Zhaoyong and Tian Dadao returned to the small yard from Qinglin Police Station. Township Mayor Gao and Hou Weidong came to Xi Zhaoyong's home to discuss the situation.

Xi Zhaoyong said briefly: "I just held a case analysis meeting, so I won't say the specific situation. In a word, this group of people came to the stone yard boss. In the township government yard, I, a madman, and a big knife are all targets. Therefore, Director Qin told us to be vigilant and no more accidents."

Township Mayor Gao is Lao Qinglin. This is the first time he has seen such a tragic case. He said, "Everyone should pay attention. Make the rules in the future and close the door at 10 o'clock in the evening. Also, the ground floor of this house is an office, and above the second floor are households. We weld an iron door at the entrance of the second floor, so it will be safer."

Hou Weidong nodded and said, "The plan for the Township Mayor Gao is good. I will pay for the money for welding the iron door and strengthening the yard."

Xi Zhaoyong suggested again: "Feed a wolf dog upstairs. If someone wants to pry the door, the wolf dog will warn you." He remembered the dog that was smeared by the Zeng family, and said: "Put the dog on the second floor and there is an iron gate to stop it. The robbers cannot feed the wolf dog medicine."

After discussing the detailed plan, everyone felt relieved.

In the afternoon, Hou Weidong slept for a while, then took a truck to visit Zeng Xiangang at Yiyang County Hospital.

Zeng Xiangang was really lucky. He was hit by nine stabs, one eye was slashed and his intestines were stabbed into several pieces. However, miraculously, he did not stab the vital part. The most dangerous stab was to stab it in the heart. After emergency rescue, Zeng Xiangang was pulled back from the brink of death. When Hou Weidong went to see him, he was wrapped up as a palm and fell asleep on the bed. Zeng's brother was a demobilized soldier. He worked in the Yiyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative and took care of Zeng Xiangang in the hospital.

When Hou Weidong left, he called Zeng Xianli aside, "My name is Hou Weidong, and I jointly set up an Yingzhijingfang with Zeng Xiangang. I withdrew 10,000 yuan from the stoneyard. You can take it to treat him first. This is my mobile phone number. If you have any questions, please contact me."

Zeng Xianli said with emotion: "I made a lot of money by running a stone yard. I blinded myself and lost my brother and sister's life. It's really not worth it." After posting the emotion, he asked again: "How much did he get robbed this time?"

Hou Weidong shook his head.

"How much money did he make?"

Hou Weidong said, "Not much, it's just a few tens of thousands of yuan."

After leaving the hospital, Hou Weidong felt very upset. He was walking around Yiyang Streets and alleys alone. He suddenly wanted to find someone to tell him. However, when he looked back, Yiyang City, who had lived for six years, had few people who could tell him. During this period, he had been in contact with Zhu Bing, Liu Wei, Liang Bifa and others from the Transportation Bureau, but these people were friends in the business world and were not suitable to expose their weakest side to them.

He couldn't help but sigh: "There are thousands of friends, but there is no one who knows the soulmate."

When passing the bus station, Hou Weidong suddenly thought of Duan Ying. In Yiyang City, the only one who can really talk about something intimately seems to be Liu Kun’s girlfriend Duan Ying, but she is Liu Kun’s girlfriend now, and her past ambiguity has become a thing of the past.

He stood on the sidewalk in front of the bus station, dazed. Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder behind him, and Hou Weijiang turned around as if he was electrocuted.

"Hou Weidong, why are you standing here alone?"

Thinking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Duan Ying was wearing a black windbreaker and standing behind her. Hou Weidong saw it clearly that it was Duan Ying and said, "Why did he come behind him without knowing it, which scared me."

After not sleeping all night, Hou Weidong's eyes were covered with bloodshots, his beard grew very fast, and he looked quite haggard. Duan Ying asked with concern: "Hou Weidong, what happened?"

Hou Weidong sighed: "Let's go, find a place, I'll treat you to dinner."

"What happened?"

"It's hard to describe it. I want to find someone to talk to you."

Duan Ying said: "It's only four o'clock now, and it's still early to eat. I know a tea room, which is the quietest. I'll invite you to have tea."

This is an elegant teahouse. When I entered the tea room, a girl in Tang suit brewed a pot of Tieguanyin and retreated. The background music was a vague guzheng. The guzheng was like the wind, slowly blowing the bamboo forest.

Tasting tea and listening to music, Hou Weidong told Duan Ying about the case last night. Duan Ying's face changed and her fingers were pinching tightly.

"You should also be careful, don't let people stare at it. Don't worry, we have safety measures."

Hou Weidong talked a lot and then completely relaxed. He looked at Duan Ying and smiled. Duan Ying touched his face and said, "Is my face dirty? Why are you laughing?"

"I think you are really a journalist's material. I read the newspaper and the article is well written."

Duan Ying was very interested, but after hearing this, she didn't smile and said, "Only you know whether the shoes fit or not." Hou Weidong felt something in her words and said, "Are you worried?" Duan Ying was silent for a while before saying, "I don't know what to say about this. I transferred from the silk factory to the newspaper. Uncle Liu helped me. I am very grateful to him. It's just that Liu Kun's mother talks about this all day long, as if she is a savior, which makes people feel upset."

Hou Weidong had met Liu Kun's parents before, and he gave them the nickname of the two black and white evil spirits at that time. Now that Duan Ying has arrived at the Liu family, he must have been getting along with the white evil spirits.

"It seems that you have to rely on yourself as a person, otherwise you will not be able to raise your head." Duan Ying's eyes seemed a little wet and said, "Hou Weidong, if I had known to make money by opening a stone yard, I wouldn't have come to the newspaper, so I would have opened a stone yard in Shangqinglin."

"Opening a stone yard is a matter of a rough man. Don't do these things in the little girl's house."

"Everything is done by people, I'm not afraid of hardship."

After drinking this pot of tea for more than an hour, we talked about it all, and both of them were in a much better mood.

After drinking tea with Duan Ying and having supper, they broke up.

According to his old habit, Hou Weidong went to the guesthouse of Shazhou College. After completing the procedures, he lost sleepiness. He was ready to go to the college for a walk. After walking not far, he went to the college posting column. Usually he didn't look at this posting column, but today he accidentally glanced at it and saw a "house selling notice" on it.
