The lobby, which was not very lively, suddenly quieted down.

A pair of eyes looked at Su Wenxing, and even Josie, who was sitting next to him, showed a puzzled look.

Su Wenxing put down the brush, put the account book in place, and stood up.

"I am."

"Take it away."

Two policemen immediately came over and sandwiched Su Wenxing in the middle.

Seeing this, Josie wanted to get up and speak. But before she could speak, Ma Sanyuan behind the counter walked out, came to the policeman who gave the order with a smile and said, "Director Liu, what did you say?" ”

"Third child, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't get involved."

When ordinary people see Ma Sanyuan, they will respect him as a third master.

But in fact, Ma Sanyuan's 'third master' is a joke in the eyes of many people.

After the establishment of the Republic of China, the two-level system of provinces and counties was implemented.

In the third year of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai issued the "County Police Station System" in order to strengthen public security in various places and unify the police management system. Under the system, each prefecture must establish a police station and place it under the management of the prefectural governor. However, in four years, Yuan Shikai changed the regulations and planned the police station directly into the provincial police department.

All counties, regardless of their size, must set up a police station, with one police officer and one patrol officer.

Qi County is a third-class small county, with a total of 100 police officers in the police station, and it is also the armed force of the entire Qi County.

This Director Liu, named Liu Qiang, is a police officer of the Qi County Police Station.

Don't look at his position is not high, but in Qi County, he can definitely be called a tyrant, and even the governor of Qi County can't help him. Cause? Very simple! Liu Qiang's sister is the lover of the head of the Personnel Department of the Hebei Provincial Police Department. With this relationship, Liu Qiang can be said to have no fear, and no one dares to provoke him.

Naturally, he will not give Ma Sanyuan face, and he is the 'third child' when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth.

Ma Sanyuan was not annoyed, and pulled Liu Qiang to the side with a smile, "Liu Suo, Xiao Su is my person here after all, and if he is arrested so indiscriminately, it may affect the business of my store." ”

As he spoke, two pieces of ocean fell into Liu Qiang's pocket.

Liu Qiang's eyes narrowed and said, "Third brother, it's not that I don't give you face, it's that this little guy in your family has committed a crime." ”

"What happened?"

"Yesterday, did he fight with Luo Erzhu?"

Ma Sanyuan nodded again and again, and said, "There is such a thing, they did have a little conflict yesterday. ”

This kind of thing can't be concealed at all, after all, when Su Wenxing and Luo Erzhu clashed, many people saw it. But that's not a big deal! Ma Sanyuan didn't think that Liu Qiang was here for this matter.

Liu Qiang lowered his voice and said, "Luo Er's stick is dead!" ”

"Death is death, he is a scourge when he lives, but he is much cleaner when he dies."

But before he died, he left his last words, writing the word 'Su' on the ground. I inquired, and he has been honest for a while now, and he hasn't caused any more trouble except for a fight with the surnamed Su at your place yesterday. You say, if I don't arrest someone surnamed Su, who will I arrest? ”

Liu Qiang stared at Ma Sanyuan, but Ma Sanyuan smiled.

"It can't be!"

"How?"

"Xiao Su accompanied Miss Qiao to Lutai yesterday afternoon, and came back after dark.

After that, he slept in the store and didn't go out all night. I woke him up early in the morning and sat there copying the books. Besides, he is a foreigner, and he has only been in Qi County for five days. He dared to kill Luo Erzhu? Look at his sick appearance, it is not certain who kills anyone.

Also, Luo Er's stick doesn't know a single word, and everyone in Qi County knows it, can he write? ”

"Hehe, the third one...... Whether it's surnamed Su or not, you don't say it, I have to investigate. ”

Director Liu's words came out, and Ma Sanyuan knew that there was a play.

He hurriedly smiled and said: "That is, up and down this Qi County, who doesn't know that Liu Suo You are Bao Qingtian alive, and there is no room for sand in your eyes." However, Xiao Su still has to help me copy the account books, and if you take him away, you will delay my affairs. I'm nothing, the key is that Director Zhang of Peking is urging me to come, and it's hard for me to do it, right? It's better to leave him here, and I'll help you watch him.

Liu Suo, you should investigate, if it is really this donkey ball who killed Luo Er's stick, I will never say anything. ”

As he spoke, another ten pieces of ocean fell silently into Liu Qiang's pocket.

The sound of the ocean colliding came into Liu Qiang's ears, which was particularly wonderful.

"So, you give him a guarantee?"

"Yes!"

", then I'll give you a face. But you have a good eye on him, and if you let him run away, I'll ask you. ”

Ma Sanyuan said with a sneer: "Don't worry, Liu Suo, you can't run away from him." ”

In fact, Liu Qiang's purpose is for the ocean.

He knew very well that Luo Erzhu was not killed by Su Wenxing, but he couldn't let go of this great opportunity. It's just that I didn't expect that Ma Sanyuan would actually give Su Wenxing a head, and Liu Qiang got a good job, so he didn't want to continue to make things difficult. After all, although he looks down on Ma Sanyuan, Ma Sanyuan is also a character in Qi County.

Liu Qiang beckoned and motioned for the two men to come back.

Before leaving, he glanced at Su Wenxing again, then turned to Ma Sanyuan and said, "This kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp, otherwise who would frame him?" Think of a way to get him out of Qi County quickly.

Tomorrow is New Year's Day, and I don't want anything to happen again...... Otherwise, you're welcome! ”

He knew very well in his heart that there was someone else who killed Luo Er's stick.

It's just that he is good at ripping off bamboos, but solving cases is not his forte. Besides, Luo Erzhu is in Qi County, and he belongs to the kind of person who even dislikes dogs. He died, no one shouted for him, and Liu Qiang was too lazy to make extraneous branches.

"Liu Suo rest assured, when he finishes copying the account books, I will drive him away."

"Keep an eye on it."

Liu Qiang warned again and left with his men.

Ma Sanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly turned around and smiled at the people in the store: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a misunderstanding." Everyone can do whatever they have to do, it's okay, Xiao Su was purely wronged. ”

Ma Sanyuan finally has some face, and those who are familiar with Luo Erstick know that that guy can't write at all, and he still has the special word 'Su'? When Liu Qiang said this, many people understood the situation. As for people who don't know Luo Erstick, they won't care about this. The police did not arrest Su Wenxing, which means that Su Wenxing is a good person. In that case, what are they worried about?

"Jinzi, take care of it, there's something upstairs calling me."

Ma Sanyuan shouted at the back kitchen first, then walked to Su Wenxing's side and said in a low voice, "Follow me." ”

With that, he went straight to the stairs.

Su Wenxing took a deep breath, put away the account book, and handed it to Xiao Jinzi with pen and ink.

"What are you doing here?"

Josie followed him as he went upstairs.

Su Wenxing frowned slightly, turned to look at her, and said softly: "This matter has nothing to do with you." ”

"If he hadn't stolen my money, if you hadn't had a conflict with him to help me, you wouldn't be where you are today. The cause of this is me, and of course I have to follow it to see what the hell is going on. ”

Josie looked stubborn and looked at Su Wenxingdao.

Su Wenxing shook his head with a wry smile and said softly: "Miss Qiao, listen to me, this matter is not that simple, don't get involved." ”

"You don't have to."

After Josie finished speaking, she passed Su Wenxing and went upstairs.

Su Wenxing couldn't stop her, because what qualifications did he have to stop Josie?

When the two came to Ma Sanyuan's house, Su Wenxing glanced at the situation in the corridor and closed the door.

However, instead of sitting down, he stood against the door.

Seeing this, Ma Sanyuan's eyes lit up.

He didn't drive Josie away, but poured her a glass of water, and then said, "Xiao Su, what do you think?" ”

"Me?"

Su Wenxing said with a smile: "The third master knows very well in his heart, why bother asking me?" ”

"I mean, what do they mean by doing that."

"Angry, revenge, and then killing?"

The conversation between him and Ma Sanyuan made Josie listen to the clouds.

"Hey, hey, you two, can you make it clear? What 'they'? Who are 'they'? ”

Ma Sanyuan and Su Wenxing looked at each other and smiled.

"Xiao Su, come on."

Ma Sanyuan sat down and took a sip of the teapot in tow.

Su Wenxing said: "Miss Qiao, do you remember the bandits we killed on the way back to the city last night?" ”

Josie, of course, will not forget, showing a palpitating expression, and nodded vigorously.

"Actually, I came back yesterday and I've been thinking about it all the time.

The bandit was clearly coming for the two of us...... However, I have only been in Qi County for a few days, and I have been working on the third master's side, and I rarely go out, let alone enemies, and I don't even know a few people here.

What about you?

College students, who came from the south and worked in the government, probably came here for the first time. ”

"yes."

"That's weird, who's going to deal with us?"

Josie is a smart person, Su Wenxing said it to this point, if she can't understand it anymore, she will really be a fool.

Therefore, as soon as Su Wenxing's words fell, she blurted out: "Luo Er stick!" ”

Ma Sanyuan said on the side: "Luo Erzhuzi is a lazy person, his heart is smaller than the eye of a needle, and he loves face very much." Xiao Su beat him yesterday, and then I drove him away, which can be regarded as a loss of face. ”

"I see, it's Luo Erstick looking for bandits to deal with us!"

Josie suddenly realized, and her face turned even paler.

If Su Wenxing hadn't killed the other party yesterday, she was afraid that she would have fallen into the hands of Luo Erzhu and the bandits.

Luo Er's stick aside, falling into the hands of those bandits, can she be a big girl?

Looking back now, she couldn't help but feel a little afraid......

"Then why did he die?"

Ma Sanyuan looked at Su Wenxing, but Su Wenxing shook his head.

"I'm new to the city, so I don't know anything about the situation here, so I'm not sure."

Is that inaccurate? Still don't want to say?

Ma Sanyuan said: "Since that's the case, then let me talk about it."

Now, I don't know which bandit Luo Erstick is contacting. It's a pity that the body was not found, otherwise some clues could have been found. I guessed like this, Luo Erzhu suffered a loss yesterday, so he found someone to deal with you and Miss Qiao, and wanted to take a bad breath. So, he found the bandit and asked the bandit to strike. But what he didn't expect was that the person he was looking for was eventually killed by Xiao Su......

The bandits were very angry, but because Xiao Su had not gone out of the store since he returned to the city, he couldn't find trouble with Xiao Su, so he found Luo Erzhu to vent his anger, killed Luo Erzhu, and framed Xiao Su. ”

"Huh?"

Josie was excited when she heard this, and looked at Su Wenxing's eyes with a little more worry.

"The question now is, does Luo Erzhu know that the person he is looking for is a bandit?

How did he find the bandit?

Why would the bandits help him against you and Miss Joe? Those people are all people who can't afford to be profitable. ”

Josie was puzzled: "Third master, what do you mean?" ”

"What does the third master mean is that there may be bandits in the city?"

"Hahaha, smart!" Ma Sanyuan nodded, showing appreciation: "It's worthy of being mixed in the bandits' den, and I got to the point at once!" Well, that's what I'm worried about right now. ”

"Are there bandits in the city? So what to do? ”

Josie was a little panicked and looked at Ma Sanyuan and the two.

"It's okay, they can't make a fuss.

There are more than 100 policemen in our city, and the ones in their hands are not vegetarians. I also know that Liu Qiang has worked in the army before, and he is a bit famous. The defense of Qi County is not bad, and the bandits want to enter the city unless they attack it with heavy firearms...... Otherwise, they don't want to attack our Qi County. ”

As soon as Ma Sanyuan said this, Josie finally calmed down.

He looked at Su Wenxing and said softly, "What do you say?" ”

"What the third master said makes sense...... As far as I know, the closest army to Qi County is stationed in Ji County. If Qi County was attacked, Ji County's army would arrive in Qi County within five hours at the latest.

The third master also said that unless the bandits have heavy weapons, they don't want to break through the county seat.

No matter how bad it is, it shouldn't be difficult to hold on for five hours......"

"In that case, even if he is a donkey ball and works hard, maybe we are worrying about it."

Ma Sanyuan grinned and drove Su Wenxing and Josie out of the room.

"Xiao Su, hurry up and copy the account book, I'm in a hurry to use it."

"Understood!"

In order to save Su Wenxing, Ma Sanyuan had blood today.

Although he did it secretly, Su Wenxing didn't see it, but he could guess it.

Liu Qiang came over aggressively, but he took it lightly? Without Brother Kong Fang's stepping forward, it would be impossible at all.

In my heart, I am very grateful to Ma Sanyuan.

Although he also knew that this matter was not as simple as he and Ma Sanyuan thought.

But as he told Josie, it was not easy for the bandits to enter the city......

Be careful, though!

Su Wenxing and Josie left, Ma Sanyuan walked to the door of the room, looked to both sides, and closed the door.

The smile on his face faded, and he walked to the side of the bed and pulled out a wooden box from under the bed.

The box was opened, and it was filled with firearms and bullets wrapped in oiled paper.

There were long guns, there were short guns, and a couple of German grenades. Looking at these firearms and ammunition, a fierce light flashed in Ma Sanyuan's eyes. He took a deep breath, picked up a handful of puffers, and grabbed a few more magazines and put them in his pocket. Closing the box and pushing it under the bed again, Ma Sanyuan stood up.

He walked to the door, thought for a moment, and then turned back and took out a handful of twenty rings from under the pillow.

With the gun in his arms, Ma Sanyuan opened the door and went down the stairs to the lobby......
