(There is another chapter in the afternoon)

After leaving the playground, Wang Qiao bought some white paper and glue at the commissary, and when he returned to the dormitory, he spread out all the fragments of letters, put them together on the white paper one by one, and glued them together. He concentrated on the puzzle and delayed for an hour before putting the torn letter back together, but it was difficult to reunite the broken mirror, and the broken letter lost the spirit that belonged to Lu Qi in it.

Looking at the crumpled letters, he really wanted to beat Bao Qiang into a pig's head immediately. It's just that the matter has come to this point, and there is no better way than to be angry.

After the discussion in the small playground, Hong Ping and Wu Chongbin prepared separately in high spirits and with apprehension.

Wu Chongbin found Xu Rui again and asked about the details of Liu Jianchang and others.

Xu Rui was Wu Chongbin's classmate in Jingzhou No. 1 Middle School and a disciple of Shi'an Machinery Factory, he was unwilling to reveal too much about the situation of Liu Jianchang and others, and earnestly persuaded: "Liu Jianchang lives in the Qinggong Building, and there are hundreds of young workers in the Qinggong Building, most of whom are fighting and don't want to die, so you must not cause trouble." To put it mildly, you can't do anything to provoke Liu Jianchang. ”

Wu Chongbin was reluctant to give up, and said: "In addition to Liu Jianchang, Ma Mian also lives in the Qinggong Building?" ”

Xu Rui was annoyed and said: "Kong Laoer, please dispel unrealistic ideas, Shi'an Machinery Factory and Hongqi Factory are completely different, after the bankruptcy of Shi'an Factory, the young workers have become the main force in Jingzhou, even if they do not enter the **, they are all one evil and two evil." You students better not wade into this troubled water. I won't go too far into it to protect you, or you'll die an ugly death. ”

Wu Chongbin had no choice but to give up and did not ask for more information.

Hong Ping's task is relatively simple, for the boys who grew up in the countryside, it is not difficult to carry a knife and a stick to make fishing nets, they went to the bamboo and wood market to select a few logs for hoe handles, and cut them into short sticks of nearly one meter, this short stick is a sharp weapon against daggers, and it is usually easy to collect. Fishing nets are two small, rough nets, which don't look good and are quite easy to use.

In the evening, Wang Qiao, Wu Chongbin and Hong Ping gathered in the grove.

Everyone picked up the short stick and danced for a while, and then carefully studied the use of fishing nets.

Wang Qiao took back the fishing net that shook the sky and said, "We still need to make a big fishing net." ”

Hong Ping said: "The big fishing net is too heavy to shake off, what's the use?" ”

Wang Qiao said: "I'm thinking about a problem, if we beat Liu Jianchang in a mask, they don't know who we are, in fact, it can't play a deterrent role, we not only have to beat them, but also have to find a way to lure them to the school dormitory, use a big fishing net downstairs to catch them, and then, everyone water them together and freeze them to death." ”

Wu Chongbin said: "This is a bit difficult. ”

Wang Qiao said: "Let's think about the details first, and then adapt to the situation, after this fight, we will make Liu Jianchang dare not enter the school again." ”

Wu Chongbin took the initiative to say: "Knowing myself and knowing the enemy, winning all battles, I am going to go to the Qinggong Building to find out the information again." ”

Wang Qiao didn't have much hope for the information, but he didn't dissuade him, but just told him to be careful.

On a windy autumn night, Wu Chongbin and Tian Feng went to Shi'an Machinery Factory like knights in the rivers and lakes. The two of them have lived in the factory since childhood, and they naturally have the temperament of factory children, and they entered the machinery factory unimpeded, and successfully found the Qinggong Building. They hid in the dark near the Qinggong Building, staring at the three doorways of the Qinggong Building, preparing to find out the whereabouts of Liu Jianchang and his gang.

This is the most common plot in detective films, which seems to be commonplace, but the specific implementation is not the same thing at all.

The autumn nights in Jingzhou were quite cold, and the cold winds from the north crossed the Qinling Mountains and ran rampant in a shallow hill. Wu Chongbin and Tian Feng stood in the dark, the cold wind was pouring into their necks, their bodies were getting colder and colder, and the poor food they ate in their stomachs at dinner had long been gone. There are many honeycomb coal stoves with chimneys in the youth building of the machinery factory, which can not only raise the temperature in the house, but also avoid gas poisoning. Many people stew meat on the honeycomb coal stove, or put Sichuan-style hot pot, call friends, drink two or three taels of wine, and eat a few chopsticks stewed meat, which is very happy.

The house was full of lively eating, Wu Chongbin and Tian Feng, who were hiding in the dark outside the house, were blowing the cold wind, smelling the fragrance of wine and meat wafting over, and they were tormented. After standing for a while, the two mustered up their courage and walked to the Qinggong Building, wanting to find out the room number of Liu Jianchang. There are a lot of people coming in and out of the Qinggong Building, most of them are red eyebrows and green eyes, and they are fierce and vicious. Wu Chongbin thought of Xu Rui's words, and realized that what he said was true, and it was indeed a stupid thing to provoke in the Qinggong Building.

Hongqi Factory and Shi'an Machinery Factory are both factories, but the temperament of the two factories is completely different, the former has a concentration of intellectuals, and fights and brawls occasionally occur. There are a large number of workers with a low level of education in the Shi'an Machinery Factory, and there are endless fights and brawls before bankruptcy, not to mention the current situation of falling trees. Wu Chongbin confused the two, and only then did he come up with the idea of capturing the thief and capturing the king first. After stepping into the Shi'an Machinery Factory, he saw the dilapidated factory buildings and the collapsed crowd, and he knew that he was wrong.

Persisted until about nine o'clock, there was no trace of Liu Jianchang and others, and they did not dare to enter the Qinggong Building rashly, so they had to leave the family building of Shi'an Machinery Factory in a gloomy manner.

Back in the repeater class, several people gathered at the small playground again.

Tian Feng took a cup of hot water to the small playground, drank the water, kept sniffing, and said: "After waiting for a long time, there are a lot of fist strokes in the house, and there are many people coming and going, it is difficult to find the target, this method will not work." ”

Hong Ping said: "Students have to prepare for the college entrance examination, and they must not be able to keep an eye on them for a long time, these miscellaneous skins have no work, and their lives are completely irregular, and it is difficult for us to find their whereabouts." ”

Wu Chongbin wiped his nose with a tissue and said: "Hong Ping and I have both met Liu Jianchang's group on the street, indicating that they are often active in this area, we changed our thinking, do not go to Shi'an Machinery Factory to wait for the rabbit, send a person outside to reconnoiter every day, with Jingzhou No. 1 Middle School as the central point, 300 meters as the reconnaissance range, as long as we find this group of people, we will bring weapons to fight." ”

Hong Ping said: "It's still difficult to wait for the rabbit, if it's during class time, everyone is in different classes, and it's difficult to come out at the same time." ”

Wang Qiao didn't speak at first, listened to their discussion in silence, listened for a while, and said: "I think we should follow two principles, one is to defend and counterattack, our principle is to defend and counterattack, since it is difficult to grasp the whereabouts of Liu Jianchang and others, we will defend thoroughly, don't take the initiative to find them again, study with peace of mind, I hope that from now on I will be safe; Second, it is necessary to grasp the sense of proportion, absolutely not touch the bottom line of the law, and insist on using wooden sticks and fishing nets instead of knives. ”

Tian Feng said: "I suggest spraying chili water again to let them taste the power of the cooperative." ”

After making this suggestion, he deliberately imitated the sinister and cunning laughter of the spy. It's just that everyone didn't laugh, and he laughed a few times and then shut up.

Wang Qiao waited for Tian Feng to stop laughing, and said: "Your idea is good, spray your eyes directly, they will temporarily lose their combat effectiveness." ”

After a few discussions, a comprehensive scheme of sticks, fishing nets, and chili water was finally formed.

In the next few days, at the end of the self-study every evening, the six of them went to the edge of the grove to practice using sticks and fishing nets. Tian Feng is the smallest, and his combat effectiveness is not good, so he specializes in the heavy task of spraying chili pepper water. When Hong Ping and Li Jie practiced casting fishing nets, he sprayed a spray gun against the fence.

In the past few days, no one has left the school gate, and everything is safe. Liu Jianchang's gang seemed to have disappeared from the world, and no one had heard from them.

Wang Qiao decided to make a trip to Shannan on Saturday afternoon. The previous time Bao Qiang went to the bedroom to cut the box, he was taken away more than 1,000 yuan, causing huge economic losses. When he came to the repeater class, he brought a total of 1,500 yuan, paid the registration fee, book fees, and bought daily necessities, except for the cash he carried with him, the remaining 1,000 yuan was put in a box, which was all the living expenses of the first half semester of the repeater class. After using it for the past few days, his wallet has long been shriveled, and he has to go to Shannan's sister's house to withdraw money.

The shredded letters were basically recovered, and he was going to put these precious letters back in Shannan, and he couldn't ensure the safety of the letters in the dormitory.

In addition, there is one more unfinished matter, which has always worried Wang Qiao.

While at the Guangnan Jingsan Detention Center, Wang Qiao took care of another criminal suspect, Chen Qiang. Chen Qiang, the chief engineer of the Shannan Provincial Department of Communications, was imprisoned in the Guangnan No. 3 Detention Center in another place for taking bribes, and happened to be in the same prison as Wang Qiao.

During the detention center, Wang Qiao, a fellow villager who had become the head of the cell, became the only person Chen Qiang could rely on and confide in in the detention center. The vast majority of criminal suspects miss their families the most during the long nights, and economic prisoners like Chen Qiang are even more emotionally fragile, and the longing for their families has become a spiritual pillar to support them through the difficult times.

After leaving the detention center, Wang Qiao always wanted to tell the Chen family about Chen Qiang's situation. After he came out of the detention center, the first thing he did was to look for Lu Qi, and then went to Jingzhou No. 1 Middle School to study in a repeat class. This time, he was going to take advantage of the time to withdraw the money to meet with Chen Qiang's family.

After school on Saturday afternoon, Wang Qiao immediately went to the Jingzhou bus station to buy the last bus at 7:40. With more than forty minutes to go, he walked a little further and found a small noodle shop on the street a little further from the bus station. There are people near the bus station, and the nearby restaurants are the representative of dirty mess, and Wang Qiao has never eaten around the station.

Eating fried noodles, Wang Qiao inadvertently raised his head, and happened to see a group of people walking out of the restaurant opposite, and several of them looked like township officials. There is no unified standard for what township officials look like, but they have a special temperament that people can recognize at a glance. When Wang Qiao was studying, there happened to be a father in the dormitory who was an official in the township, and he often sent him to the dormitory to no avail. The temperament of these township officials is exactly the same as that of the classmate's father.

The town cadres give people the feeling that they are a combination of "soil" and "official", and there is a more vivid name for "Tiankan cadres with trouser legs".

There were also two young men in military uniforms in the group, lean and straight.

In addition to the township cadres and soldiers, there are two men and one woman.

Wang Qiao had only heard the legend of Bao Qiang's mother, but had never seen a real person, and when they met for the first time, he immediately concluded that the three of them were a family. Bao Qiang is childish with hooliganism, Bao Qiang's mother is strong and generous, and Bao Qiang's father is a factory ear with no right to speak. Although the appearance and temperament of the three people are different, a discerning person can conclude that they are a person who eats in a pot at first sight.

Through the combination of this group of people, Wang Qiao, who has much richer social experience than ordinary students, turned his head and figured out the cause and effect: Bao Qiang is going to be a soldier.

At this time, if he sent a letter of complaint to the Ministry of Armed Forces, Bao Qiang's dream of being a soldier would definitely be shattered at the beginning. This thought flashed through Wang Qiao's mind and immediately dissipated in the air. After he left school, he began to work hard in society, but he was not young but had tasted enough of the ups and downs of life, and he deeply knew what it meant to be a soldier to Bao Qiang, which is a thing that can change the fate of young people, and it is similar to the university entrance examination, and it is one of the ways that the lowest young people can change their fate.

After a few thoughts, Wang Qiao gave up his heart of revenge. After experiencing the detention center, he didn't think that Bao Qiang was a hopeless villain, and he couldn't bear to ruin Bao Qiang's future for personal vendetta.

After Bao Qiang left, he swept the noodles in the bowl and slowly walked back to the bus station. During the drive, he memorized English words.
