Chapter 22: A Wounded Boy in Winter
Ye Haodong's second meeting of Jiang Lan was only ten minutes after their first meeting. Holding the Wuliangye and Hongta Mountain that were not delivered, Ye Haodong stood bored on the side of the road waiting for the car, but accidentally looked back and saw Jiang Lan running out of the shantytown with a panicked expression, and shouted loudly: "Mom, where are you?" Mom, you're coming back! ”
Ye Haodong walked a few steps and stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong, what's wrong, your mother is gone?" ”
Jiang Lan looked flustered, she was already six gods and no master, and when she heard Ye Haodong ask, she nodded and asked urgently: "Did you see an old lady in her fifties just now, wearing a gray sweater on her upper body and blue pants on her lower body, who is about the same height as me?" ”
Ye Haodong recalled it carefully, but he didn't have any impression, and it was estimated that he didn't meet it.
He shook his head and asked, "Will you go out early?" ”
Jiang Lan said anxiously but surely: "No way, there is a kettle sitting on the stove when I go home, and the water is just boiling before I go out, my mother and we must be the front and back feet." ”
"Don't worry, it's useless for you to shout like this, if your mother can hear it, you can see her, you go to the police first, ask the people from the police station to help pay attention, I'll find a few friends on the street to help you find it now."
Jiang Lan was originally a smart and assertive girl, and when she told Ye Haodong at this time, she calmed down, she didn't say anything, just nodded at Ye Haodong, and then hurried to the police station.
Ye Haodong wanted to call back to the factory to find someone to help, but at this time, Li Weidong and they got off work early, and they were too far away, and when they came over, it would be dark in the morning, and it would be even more difficult to find them at that time. Ye Haodong analyzed from Jiang Lan's anxious expression and description that the old lady he had never met was a little mentally ill. At this time, it is estimated that he will not be able to go too far, and now is the best time to find someone, Ye Haodong calmly analyzed the situation around here, and felt that the old lady may not have gone far. The only thing that this shantytown is connected to the outside world is this main road, and there is only such a particularly difficult path to walk out of it, and if the old lady comes out, there is no reason why he should not meet it. If the old lady didn't leave here, then she should still be in the shantytown, according to her situation analysis, she should have no friends to visit in the community, if someone kidnapped her in retaliation for Jiang Wei, then kidnapping the old lady is obviously not as cost-effective as kidnapping her sister, this possibility is not great, Ye Haodong estimated that she should be waiting for her daughter to get out of school in a hurry, and when she went out to see, she accidentally met something or someone who took her away, but she didn't take it away from this shantytown.
Thinking of these circumstances, Ye Haodong decided to go back to the shantytown immediately to try his luck.
He quickly ran to the door of Jiang Wei's house, carefully observed the traces at the door, and suddenly he found a strange mark, it was a round and deep mark, next to that mark was a very shallow footprint, but the corresponding footprint was very deep. quickly thought of people who could fit this situation in his mind, and Ye Hao* remembered a lyric, the sentence in Grandma's Penghu Bay, 'Leave footprints in two and a half', this is a footprint left by a lame man, and this footprint extends to the courtyard of Jiang Wei's house.
He was standing at the door pondering, Jiang Lan had already run back with two policemen. It turned out that the police listened to her story and also analyzed that the old lady did not go out of the community. Because the old lady's situation was very special, the police also attached great importance to it and immediately sent people to her house to investigate the scene.
Ye Haodong didn't look at the suspicious eyes of the two policemen, and asked Jiang Lan eagerly: "Is there a lame man near your house who lives here?" ”
Although Jiang Lan felt that Ye Haodong was asking a little strangely, she still recalled it carefully, and suddenly thought of something: "Ah, I remember, there is a man in his forties who has a leg problem and rents a house with us, what's wrong, my mother's disappearance has something to do with him?" ”
Ye Haodong shook his head: "It's not certain yet, but what is certain is that your mother's disappearance must be related to a person with leg problems and a single crutch, you tell me where that person lives first, I want to go and see first, you are here to accompany the two policemen to investigate the scene." ”
When one of the two policemen heard this, he snorted: "The police are skilled enough, you are a gangster, right?" ”
Ye Haodong glanced at him, he was a very young policeman, about twenty years old. Ignoring the policeman, according to the direction indicated by Jiang Lan, Ye Haodong ran over quickly.
When he came to the gate of that courtyard, Ye Haodong suddenly became more suspicious. In broad daylight, the door of the courtyard was drawn from the inside, and there was a faint cry of a woman in the house, as if the mouth of the shouting person was blocked by something, but he couldn't shout.
Ye Haodong made a decision immediately, didn't knock or not, raised his legs and kicked towards the door violently, the thick fold with thick and long nails was pulled out of the door frame by a huge force, Ye Haodong stepped on the door and came to the outside of the main room. He was about to kick the door, but the door was opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man with obvious leg defects walked out with an old lady as Jiang Lan described, holding a screwdriver in her hand.
"Don't come here, I'll stab her to death if you come here again." The man screamed hysterically.
Ye Haodong saw this guy's hand shaking, obviously very nervous, afraid of accidents, he didn't dare to stimulate him, and took two steps back according to his meaning and said, "Don't get excited, let me ask you, what have you done?" ”
The middle-aged man cried: "I didn't do anything, I drank, I don't know what I thought in my head, in short, I brought her back in a daze, but I didn't have time to do anything, you came, I really didn't do anything!" ”
Ye Haodong continued to ask: "Then did you hurt her?" ”
The man continued to cry: "No, I didn't hit her, I covered her mouth." ”
Ye Haodong nodded reassuringly: "Oh, then it's not a big deal, you put down the screwdriver, if you accidentally hurt this aunt, this is not a trivial matter, kidnapping and hurting people is enough to kill people, don't make yourself a death sentence for a trivial matter." ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he was suspicious: "Who are you, how do you know that I am okay now?" ”
Ye Haodong: "If you want to break the law, I'm still your senior, you believe me, as long as you are on the precipice now, it's really not a big deal." ”
The man listened to his words, gradually relaxed, and the screwdriver in his hand finally drooped. But at this time, the two policemen also rushed over from afar, and as soon as the man saw the police, his emotions suddenly became nervous again, and the screwdriver in his hand was about to be raised again, but his movements were much firmer than the hesitation just now. Ye Haodong couldn't see it, so he jumped over, punched the man with a wave of his left hand, and grabbed the tip of the screwdriver that stabbed the old lady with his right hand. The man was knocked down by a punch, but the screwdriver in his hand stabbed Ye Haodong's right hand hard before he fell. The old lady was so frightened that she squatted on the ground, covered her ears and cried. Ye Haodong noticed that although this old lady was in her fifties, she looked very young, and her appearance was rare back then, and it was estimated that she was more beautiful than her girl back then.
Ye Haodong's hands were bleeding, he didn't care, but quickly took off the leather jacket on his body, and draped it over the old lady who was stripped of his shirt and shivered in the cold wind. When the police and Jiang Lan arrived, they saw this scene. The young policeman walked up to the middle-aged man, looked at it, and pouted: "My hands are heavy enough, my eye sockets are collapsed, but if I beat it well, I can't beat this bastard to death." ”
Jiang Lan came up and picked up her mother, who was obviously overly frightened, and turned back to Ye Haodong and said in a low voice: "Thank you." ”
Ye Haodong didn't say anything polite to her, but said worriedly: "Auntie was stimulated, that bastard covered Auntie's mouth before, and then used a screwdriver to hurt her, you better send her to the hospital now." ”
The eldest one in the police is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old: "My sidecar motorcycle is outside, I will take the three of them to the hospital, Xiao Chu, you take this suspect back first, lock him in the interrogation room, and wait for me to come back and 'question' him well." ”
In the hospital, after Ye Haodong's hand was bandaged, he came to the payment desk and left all the 1,200 yuan in cash on his body. It was already late, Jiang Lan's mother looked like she needed to be hospitalized for observation for a day or two, Ye Haodong was afraid that his mother would be in a hurry to go home, so he had to pay the money, and he didn't even get his clothes back, and left alone.
Jiang Lan's mother gradually stabilized after being injected with sedative drugs. Only then did Jiang Lan remember that the leather coat on her mother's body had not been returned to Ye Haodong, and on such a cold day, he would have frozen in the corridor at this time. But when she chased out, she only saw Ye Haodong's back. In the cold winter in the north, the young man was only wearing a cotton underwear with cartoon patterns, and he still looked a little funny, but Jiang Lan's heart was already full of emotion, and she didn't feel funny at all.
Kitaichiguchi is a place where you can eat at any time of the day, regardless of the season. This is the location of the north gate of the Gangcheng General Factory, during the day, all kinds of business on the street are complete, and it is very lively, and at night, all kinds of special teams selling supper have been dispatched to compete for the night supper subsidy for the night shift workers. These natives who were born and raised in Sri Lanka tend to be very united, so few ruffians who bully and dominate the market here dare to make trouble.
Jiang Wei has been leading people to squat here for half a month, and now he has been the captain of the criminal police team of the Xinguang District Bureau for a while. Half a month ago, he received a tip that Shan Longhu had seriously injured a prison guard and snatched a gun to escape from prison, and it was likely that he had lurked in this area.
Jiang Wei's task is to find him without harming the innocent, or to capture him on the spot when he has a suitable opportunity, or to apply for support first, and then force him to a suitable place and wait for the large army to carry out the arrest.
squatted for half a month, and there was no movement at all, which made the brothers in the task force very depressed. The key people who are being monitored come and go every day very regularly, and there is no abnormality to be seen. This made Jiang Wei even suspicious of the information from his superiors.
Jiang Wei learned what happened at home, and hurriedly found the instructor in the team to replace him, he rushed to the hospital overnight, but he also passed by Ye Haodong and didn't have to meet. Unexpectedly, only this small miss almost made their last meeting become each other's farewell.
