Chapter Seventy-One: Just Don't Speak
There are many forms of funeral, but in general, it is a moving and tear-jerking event – the final rite of farewell.
There were too many people coming, so I didn't need to help when I was busy, and I watched the whole process, and I was the only spectator of the whole ceremony!
At noon, Li Guozhi followed back to the village, booked a banquet in advance, set up six or seven tables in the courtyard of his hometown, and after returning home, asked his brothers and nephews to invite neighbors over 50 years old in the village from door to door, and in less than 20 minutes, dozens of them came.
Everyone was surprised when they saw Li Guozhi.
"Guozhi, you're back!"
"Why haven't you been to your home all these years?"
"It's hard for your father......"
Everyone, you and I are talking about it.
They should not know the truth of the matter, and they are blaming Li Guozhi in and out of words.
Li Guozhi didn't explain, just lowered his head and was silent, I couldn't listen to it, and wanted to help him say a few fair words.
Just as I was about to speak, I saw Li Guozhi kneel down again, this time towards dozens of neighbors.
"Fellow villagers, thank you for taking care of our family over the years, I'm not filial!"
It is estimated that everyone did not expect him to do this, and there was a sudden silence at the scene.
A few slightly older people walked over and helped Li Guozhi up one by one.
"O national chronicles! Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, you ...... You have been watched and raised by us since childhood, and we know your character...... Get up! ”
Weddings, funerals, and weddings must be eaten! It is estimated that this is also a major feature of the rural areas in the north.
After a period of eating and drinking, it seems that everyone has forgotten that Li Guozhi has not returned home all these years.
"The national will is promising!"
"Guozhi has finally mixed up his personal appearance......"
I want to laugh, but I think it's pathetic, maybe this is human nature! If Li Guozhi didn't set up a banquet and didn't become the head of the water conservancy station, the neighbors would still comment on him like this!
As the banquet was about to end, Li Guozhi stood up and bowed deeply to everyone.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, if Guozhi can't come back in the future, I have to do my filial piety for Guozhi, and when I have time, I come to the house to visit the door, accompany my father and mother, and take out a pile of hundred-yuan bills from my arms, and turn around to distribute three to everyone present."
Everyone was a little confused.
"Guozhi, okay, what are you talking about? No matter how busy you are, you have to go home often! An old man with a hunchback coughed.
Others chimed in.
"Yes! Now there are cars ......."
"Seventy is not a year, eighty is not a month!"
Li Guozhi didn't explain anything more, and pointed to the end of the banquet until after three o'clock in the afternoon. Li Guozhi's family talked in the house for more than 20 minutes behind closed doors, during which I heard bursts of crying from the house.
When I returned to the station, it was already five o'clock, and Li Guozhi didn't say a word along the way.
After a day, I just wanted to go back to the dormitory to change clothes, with extraordinary hearing, I heard a burst of girl's laughter in the office, I thought it was Wu Jinghan and Liang Gospel, I just wanted to leave, but I heard the voices of three people, and they were all women.
This third person's voice is still a little familiar - it can't be Aunt Hu! It's impossible, Aunt Hu is a male duck's voice, which is the same as Liu Neng's daughter-in-law's voice in "Country Love", which is obviously not her voice.
Curious, I stepped into the office.
Wu Yuhui? It turned out that the third girl was Wu Yuhui. How did she get here?
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Seeing me enter the door, Wu Yuhui waved his hand at me.
"What a rarity, you...... How did you get here? ”
Wu Yuhui was stunned, and said angrily: "Are you embarrassed to say, what about the mobile phone?" The machine is turned off all afternoon, where can you go to be merry? ”
We also got acquainted, and she was avenging her before I laughed at her when I was in the hospital.
"I'm sorry, I went out to run errands with Stationmaster Li, and I didn't have time to recharge." I took out my phone and glanced at it, "What's the matter with me?" ”
Wu Yuhui stood up and cleared his throat: "Captain Zhang, they went up to Binzhou and brought back a person, guess who?" ”
Seeing that she seemed to be smiling, I suddenly remembered what Captain Zhang said yesterday afternoon, several patrol officers found a person suspected of being Hong Qingkui in the Binzhou area, and they had said that they were going to go this morning.
At that time, I didn't think so, thinking that an old man could run so far in just two days, but I didn't expect it to be him!
I breathed a long sigh of relief.
"What about people?"
The thought that the mystery was about to be solved made me a little impatient.
"Of course, I've been escorted back to the prison, I guess this will be interrogated!" Wu Yuhui replied.
"Then let's go and have a look!"
With that, I turned around and went to the open.
"You...... You've been in such a hurry! Wu Yuhui gave me a blank look and stood up.
There were several police cars parked in front of the office building of the police station under the jurisdiction of the People's Hospital, and I followed Wu Yuhui straight to the interrogation room.
At the same time as I opened the door, I saw a thin old man sitting opposite Zhang Lihai and the three of them.
Lao Hong!
On second thought, no! He is Hong Jingkui. It looks really the same as Lao Hong.
"What's the matter, he admitted that Wang Yujue was killed by him, and what else did he do......
Before I finished speaking, Zhang Lihai picked up the confession record and shook it at me.
There wasn't a word on it.
"I haven't said a word since I caught him, and it's always been this expression."
Look again, sure enough! The man looked very sluggish, and it had been two minutes since I entered the room, but he never responded, even if he looked up at us or shook his head.
"Brother Hai, where did you find the people?"
"It was in the ruined temple on the edge of Fotou Village, and he was standing facing the wall, not moving."
"Oh?" I thought it was a little incredible, "Didn't resist? ”
"Don't say resist, you just don't say a word......"
Hearing Zhang Lihai say this, I looked at Hong Jingkui, who was glazed over, and suddenly splashed on my head like a basin of cold water.
He didn't say anything, and this trick was a headache.
I watched a Korean criminal film before, in which a psychopathic male murderer killed twelve women in a row, but after being arrested several times, he just didn't speak, no matter how he coerced a confession - even if he was beaten half to death, he didn't say a word.
There is no way, when the time comes, it has to be released.
The same is true of Hong Jingkui, who is currently only a suspect, and if he wants to have the right to detain him, he must have evidence.
Just when a few people were at a loss, Wu Yuhui whispered to Zhang Lihai: "Team Zhang! Is there a right to detain him for twenty-four hours as long as his identity is confirmed? ”
Zhang Lihai nodded: "I also thought of this, but let alone the ID card, he doesn't even have a piece of paper on his body, how can he confirm his identity?"
