After Xu Wood saw Lao Wu walking away, he did not rush to leave here, but stayed where he was and lit a cigarette again.

In his heart, he imagined that after the fifth child succeeded, the panicked and helpless expressions of Silly Zhu and Xu Yanxia were there. Then let the fifth child directly kill the child, find a wasteland and bury it, and give the stupid pillar a hint of where the child is every once in a while.

Thinking that after the success of the plan, Silly Zhu and Xu Yanxia lived in the repeated torture of hope and despair every day, and Xu Wood's heart was full of joy.

After smoking a cigarette, Xu Wood threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, looked left and right in a comfortable mood, and when he found that no one was paying attention to him, he hummed a little song in a good mood and walked home.

"What are you doing, why are you so slow to send Li Ping'an's little bastard?"

As soon as Xu Wood entered the house, he was nervously questioned by his wife.

"It's okay, it's okay, after sending the rabbit cub, I happened to meet a neighbor, and I chatted for a few words, you hurry up and take out three thousand yuan, and I'll send it to Chen Youfu later, don't delay the rescue of our son" Xu Wood waved his hand, and didn't tell Lu Hongyu what he was going to do, and casually found an excuse to divert Lu Hongyu's attention.

Lu Hongyu didn't know the fifth child, and the dirty things that Xu Wood did before the liberation were well hidden, Lu Hongyu didn't know what bad things Xu Wood had done behind her back, and Xu Wood naturally wouldn't take the initiative to reveal this kind of headless thing.

Hearing that she wanted to save her son, Lu Hongyu no longer bothered about these trivial matters, and hurriedly ran into the back room and took out a wooden box from the dark compartment.

Quite laboriously moved the wooden box to the bed, Lu Hongyu took a key from another place, after opening the wooden box, first threw a dozen small yellow croakers on the bed at will, and then took out a large stack of cash from it, counted out three hundred pieces of unity in distress, and rearranged the objects, then reluctantly took the money and walked out of the back room.

Xu Wood took a small cloth bag and packed the money, looked up at his wife, and asked, "Without these three thousand yuan, how much money do we have in our family?" ”

"Our family has a total of 1,400 yuan in savings over the years, if it weren't for the 2,000 yuan in cash in that box, we wouldn't even be able to make up the 3,000 yuan, and now there are 400 yuan left in the box" Lu Hongyu saw that her family's money was about to be sent to someone else's house, and her heart was very uncomfortable, and her tone of voice was full of unwillingness.

The unwillingness in his wife's words, Xu Wood could naturally hear it, so he opened his mouth and comforted: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if the cash is gone, isn't there still so many gold bars and jewelry, I will go to the black market tonight, sell all those gold bars, and at least recover three thousand yuan, and when Da Mao comes out, the box of things in the Lou family is enough for Da Mao to marry ten more daughters-in-law."

"Those jewelry and antiques should be worth a lot of money, it's useless to keep them at home, or you can sell them at night" Hearing her wife say this, Lu Hongyu was in a slightly better mood, and said with a good face.

Xu Wood thought about this proposal, and did not open his mouth to agree, but shook his head, disagreeing with this idea.

Looking at Lu Hongyu's puzzled expression, Xu Wood opened his mouth to explain: "The value of those jewelry and antiques is higher than that of the little yellow croaker, but this is not advocated now, these things can't be sold at a price on the black market, after the little yellow croaker is sold, our family is not bad for money, these things might as well be kept, passed on to future generations in the future, and can be used as an heirloom."

Hearing her wife say this, Lu Hongyu nodded thoughtfully and agreed with her wife's statement.

Here, after Li Ping'an drove the jeep back to the rolling mill, he came directly to Chen Youfu's office and reported to Chen Youfu the results of his coordination.

Hearing that Li Ping'an actually got three thousand yuan, Chen Youfu's heart was happy for a while, he stood up from the office chair, came to Li Ping'an with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Okay, Ling, it was originally a thousand jobs, but as soon as you made a move, it became three thousand, and when Xu Wood sent the money back in the evening, half of this money was yours."

"Forget it, you better keep this money for yourself, I don't lack this"

Now Li Ping'an is really qualified to say this, picking up rags from Lou's house once, Li Ping'an will really make a fortune, Li Ping'an really can't look down on these small money, the reason why he did this today is to disgust Xu Wood, this old thing.

Regarding Li Ping'an's words, Chen Youfu just felt that he was being polite to himself, after all, who would have trouble with money, although Li Ping'an's salary was quite high, but it was not to the point of a few hundred yuan a month.

Therefore, Chen Youfu waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone: "Ping'an, don't say it, you have to take half of this money, otherwise you won't give me face."

Looking at Chen Youfu's firm expression, he knew that he was telling the truth, if he resolutely didn't take it, maybe Chen Youfu would feel that he had other thoughts in his heart, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, since you said so, then I will continue this money, such a large sum of money will be worth my salary for a year."

"Haha, you take this money and go back to buy more clothes and shoes for Dr. Ding, women like this"

"I'll take it to buy it next week, and the other thing is that Xu Wood's old thing is too high, I didn't knock out all the things in the Lou family's box, and it is estimated that the three thousand yuan is a small half of the value of that box."

"Normal, Xu Wood's old thing has seen strong winds and waves, I asked someone to inquire about him, this old boy was not clean in his hands before liberation, and he didn't do anything less because he lacked morality, that is, there was no evidence, or the police would have arrested him a long time ago."

Hearing Chen Youfu say this, Li Ping'an became interested and asked curiously: "Chen, what did this old thing do when he was young?" Tell me about it."

"Before the liberation of this old thing, it seems to have something to do with the people who photographed the flowers, abducting and selling children, kidnapping and extortion, this lack of morality has not been done, that is, the situation before the liberation of Sijiu City was chaotic, and the files in the police station at that time were not well protected, but some of the surviving files recorded the gang that photographed the flowers, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was also investigated for a period of time, but after checking and checking, it was found that most of the gang ran away after liberation, and then it was gone" Chen Youfu lit a cigarette and told Li Ping'an about what he knew.

"Then how did you find Hurwood? Could he be one of the flower gangs? ”

"I caught a small minion in a gang, he said that there is a surname Xu, the gang calls him Xu Ye, but he hasn't seen it, according to this guy's intelligence, the public security listed a few suspects at that time, and quietly followed him for a while, and after following for a while, he didn't find anything, plus he knew the news that the team was disbanded and ran away, and then he didn't care anymore"

After Chen Youfu finished speaking, Li Ping'an raised a trace of caution to Xu Wood in his heart, and went back to Yi Zhonghai to inquire carefully.

If this old thing is really a member of this gang, it means that this old thing is a ruthless master, once this kind of person suffers a loss, he will definitely retaliate back, and he must be careful to beware.

After chatting with Chen Youfu for a while, Li Ping'an returned to his office and accompanied Corey's colleagues to talk for a while, and when it was time to get off work, Li Ping'an rode his bicycle to the infirmary to pick up his daughter-in-law from work and go home.

In the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai has been on leave for a few days because of eye problems, and he is busy with the carving of the crib at this time, and after seeing his nephew and nephew and daughter-in-law come back, he stopped his work, and just wanted to care about his nephew and daughter-in-law's body, he was pulled into the house by Li Ping'an.

"Uncle, how much do you know about Shulwood? Do you know what he did before liberation? As soon as he entered the room, Li Ping'an asked in a low voice.

Yi Zhonghai, who was still confused, immediately became nervous when he heard his nephew ask this question, and looked at Li Ping'an in a low voice and said, "Why are you inquiring about this?" Is something wrong? ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I heard from our director what Xu Wood might have done before the liberation," Li Ping'an then briefly recounted the news he heard from Chen Youfu.

After listening to Li Ping'an's words, Yi Zhonghai frowned, fell into deep thought, and his fingers would tap the table from time to time.

This posture was maintained for about ten minutes, and Li Ping'an did not disturb him, but just opened a bottle of soda soaked in cold water in advance to drink.

After waiting for a while, Yi Zhonghai woke up from his memories, slapped the table suddenly, and said angrily: "No wonder, it turned out that Xu Wood, a bastard, did it."

"What's wrong? What's wrong? What do you remember? Looking at Yi Zhonghai's angry appearance, Li Ping'an immediately guessed that Yi Zhonghai definitely remembered something.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Li Ping'an, then looked outside the house, and after making sure that there was no one outside, he said with an ugly face: "According to what you just said, I can basically be sure that the Xu Ye in the gang you are talking about is Xu Wood, a bastard."

"Do you have any evidence? If he is really a member of this gang, then he can't be let go, the traffickers deserve to die," Li Ping'an hurriedly asked.

After listening to Li Ping'an's words, Yi Zhonghai shook his head helplessly: "How many years have passed, how can there be any evidence, after hearing you say this, I only remembered it."

"You tell me, I'll analyze it after listening"

"It was the year before the Japanese were driven away, just in front of the Hengfen Hutong, there was a kidnapping case, at that time a young son of a wealthy family, was kidnapped, I remember that the kidnappers asked for a hundred oceans, at that time they used small Japanese military tickets, the ocean is not easy to get, the family in order to make up this hundred oceans, their own family can sell all the money, this is the collection of a hundred oceans, quickly sent to people, who knows that after the gang received the ransom, the child's body was found in a few days"

Li Ping'an is a smart person, and when he heard Yi Zhonghai say this, he immediately understood that this thing might have been done by Xu Wood, an old thing.

If it was really Xu Wood who did it, it means that Xu Wood and these people are too different things, it can be described as losing their conscience, the kidnapping is for money, and people have collected the money according to the requirements, and they will tear up the ticket after receiving the money, which those murderous bandits will not do.

Sure enough, without Li Ping'an continuing to ask, Yi Zhonghai paused, took a sip of water, and continued to speak.

"At that time, the black dog didn't do anything, and then pretended to check for two days, and it was gone, everyone who heard about it at the time felt strange, the kidnapping of meat tickets has not happened, it is generally tied to a large family, and the bandits of small households do not look at it, and the bandits are all about the rules, and they will release people after receiving the money, if the reputation is lost, then who will give the ransom next time, some people at the time said that this may be done by the Huazi gang, and the group of people who shoot the flowers do not talk about human nature, they are all scumbags and even bandits and traitors"

"Why I'm sure this is related to Xu Wood is because Xu Wood worked in that family at the time, and on the night of the first two days of the accident, I can't remember the specific time, when I went out to the thatched house at night, I heard Xu Wood talking to another person, I didn't hear the specific content clearly, but I vaguely heard that he was going to kill people after receiving money."

Speaking of this, Yi Zhonghai sighed, and said with some self-reproach: "At that time, when I heard Xu Wood say who was going to kill someone, I thought it was a gangster conflict on the street, and then there were neighbors living in the courtyard, and I didn't want to report my neighborhood, if I called the police at that time, maybe I could save the child's life."

If what Yi Zhonghai said is true, it is basically certain that this is the case that Xu Wood, an old guy, did when he was young.

"Uncle, I don't blame you for this, there was chaos at that time, even if you reported Xu Wood to the black dog, it's hard to say that the black dog doesn't care about this matter" Looking at Yi Zhonghai, who was a little self-blaming, Li Ping'an comforted softly.

Li Ping'an was right, in that situation at that time, Yi Zhonghai really couldn't do anything, the Japanese were still standing in Sijiu City, and the puppet government was full of traitors, and the policemen at that time had some difficulties in investigating cases and conducting criminal investigations, but they were very active in bullying the people.

If something happens to a big family, these black dogs will do their best to reward money, but this kind of kidnapping case of a small family has no oil and water in it, even if the case is solved, no oil and water can be fished, and that group of talents is too lazy to care, as for the honor of the police, it is even more nonsense, handle the case well, and let the little devil give you an award?

Yi Zhonghai sighed, didn't dwell on this matter, but asked: "Ping'an, do you think we can go to the Public Security Bureau to report Xu Wood, can't we let this dog who has lost his conscience continue to live in such a chic way, right?" ”

Looking at Yi Zhonghai's firm eyes, Li Ping'an shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Uncle, this matter is before liberation, and we have no solid evidence, plus their gang has been disbanded for many years, even if it is reported, it will not convict him."
