Chapter 354: Hiding in the Countryside
Xu Sijin is excited, he can't say that he stole it, if he says so, where can he sell it? He had a flexible brain and immediately replied that the railway workers worked in the railway department and had money, so they didn't want any new wrenches, and now they are replaced with new wrenches. And the old man said, Oh, that's it. As a result, he didn't bargain, so he bought a handful and left.
Then a few more people came, and sold a few more wrenches, and at last only one remained, and a man who smoked passed by and crouched down and asked for the price of the wrench.
Xu Sijin quoted the price, the smoking man spit out a circle of smoke from his nostrils, and took out a box of half-smoked cigarettes from his clothes, took out one from it and handed it to Xu Sijin, seeing that he took it, he took out a lighter and threw it to him to ignite, lit the fire, Xu Sijin closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
After that, only a small amount of smoke came out of his nostrils, and more smoke went into his throat and lungs, and when he opened his eyes, the smoking man was looking at him and complimenting, "You smoke so cool!"
Xu Sijin said a lot, what is this, I learned to smoke when I was a child, and when I became addicted, I picked up the cigarette butts that people threw away at the station and on the street to smoke.
In fact, this kind of thing has happened to him, but not much, and now he thinks he is showing off his "cool" background.
The man who smoked raised a long, lanky face, with high cheekbones on both sides, confronted each other, and because of his love of smoking, it was easy to associate his face with an empty flattened paper cigarette case.
At this moment, he handed the half box of cigarettes in his hand to Xu Sijin and said, man, just exchange this half box of cigarettes with you for a wrench, okay? Xu Sijin shook his head and said no. The man who smoked said you don't do it, I don't think I can afford it. This is a brand-name cigarette, a box of dozens of dollars. As he spoke, he opened the half box of cigarettes and counted them, saying that there were 13 cigarettes in it, each worth 2 yuan, equivalent to 26 yuan. Your old wrench is only worth 10 yuan a piece, and I will change it with you, but it will be a loss.
At this time, there was a man standing next to him, and when he saw the man who smoked and Xu Sijin who sold a wrench bargaining, he interjected, it was worth the money, you used the wrench to exchange half a box of cigarettes with him and really made money, not only to earn half a cigarette box, but mainly to earn a panache. Take out this kind of cigarette and smoke it, and when people see it, they feel that your identity is different.
Xu Sijin was said to be moved, and with the cigarette in his mouth that was half sucked, he felt that it tasted good, so he said, Okay, use this wrench to exchange this half box of cigarettes with you. The man who smoked made a deal with him, picked up the wrench, and said with a smile, It will be difficult for you to encounter this kind of opportunity in the future.
After selling out the goods, Xu Sijin should also go, he suddenly remembered that when he went out to the Dongjiang Railway Work Area last night, he wrote a line of words on the door panel with chalk: Nanzhuang Xu Sijin came here for a visit.
This is undoubtedly to tell others that the person who stole the wrench is a person named Xu Sijin from Nanzhuang, as long as the case is reported, the police of the Dongjiang Railway Police Station are familiar with this name, because he has only been released from the prison number not long ago.
If the police didn't catch him in the city, they would probably go out of the city and rush to Nanzhuang, so that the police could catch him and not throw himself into the air, he planned to rush back to the countryside by car - his hometown Nanzhuang Xu's house.
However, when passing the Dongjiang Bridge, I saw a locomotive on the railway bridge on the other side of the river with a carriage derailed and was about to turn into the river, but it was connected with a long train box that had not yet overturned, and the shape was like a huge zebra stretching its neck to drink water in the river.
Over there, and on this side of the bridge, many people watched silently, and some of them even opened their mouths wide, looking surprised and sad. Xu Sijin was shocked, didn't dare to look more, sped up his steps away from the bridge, got into the crowd on the street, lowered his head, as if he was afraid that someone would recognize him and wanted to catch him, he was a little shrinking himself.
Now he plans to take the train to the countryside to hide, and has changed his mind, no longer going to his hometown Nanzhuang Xu's house, waiting for the railway police to arrest him.
At the moment, he was afraid of being caught, because he estimated that the locomotive derailment and fall into the river on the iron bridge must have been caused by the loose rails. The loosening of the rails must have been caused by him stealing the wrench, which affected the railroad workers to tighten the rail screws without tools.
This is a big disaster, if you are caught, let alone the fact that you can eat in prison, it will be 100% killed. Xu Sijin was very scared, and he was thinking about it, if he didn't return to Xu's house in Nanzhuang, and he couldn't go back to Qijiazhuang, where his mother and stepfather were, because the railway police knew that he might be hiding in this place.
On the morning of that day, Xue Jie, director of the Dongjiang Railway Police Station, received a phone call: The tool storage warehouse in the railway work area was smashed last night and the door lock was smashed, and 16 wrenches and a woven bag were stolen.
Hearing this, Xue Jie said that he understood. He immediately arranged for policemen Xiao Wu and Xiao Jiang to go and check. and sent the two out of the gate of the police station, and told them to come back after checking the scene, it doesn't matter if they don't catch the kid named Xu Sijin, maybe he will come to surrender again.
Xiao Wu grinned, I knew that Xu Sijin wanted to commit a crime and eat in prison. Xiao Jiang patted the dust on the police uniform and asked their heads, can his conspiracy to eat in prison succeed this time?
Xue Jie smiled and said that he couldn't succeed, he stole a dozen wrenches and a woven bag that was not worth a few dollars, although the nature of the smashing lock and breaking into the room was bad, it was not serious enough to be sentenced, even if the sentence was at most half a year or a year, he would be released. Generally speaking, in his case, he may only be detained for half a month or a month.
After the two policemen went out on duty, they did not return to the police station until noon. When the sun was about to set in the afternoon, he didn't see Xu Sijin come to surrender, Xue Jie had some doubts, but he couldn't solve his doubts. He decided to send the police to Nanzhuang the next day to arrest Xu Sijin.
The next day, Xiao Wu and Xiao Jiang went on a mission. They drove to Nanzhuang, inquired all morning, and asked some villagers that they had not seen Xu Sijin coming.
Xiao Wu knew that Xu Sijin had a grandmother in Nanzhuang, so he looked for someone to investigate, and the villagers said that Xu Sijin's grandmother died of illness two years ago, and the house hung a copper lock all year round, Xu Sijin never came back to clean up, and he could smell the smell of mold in the room when he walked to the door.
The villagers also told the two policemen that Xu Sijin might have gone to Qijiazhuang, where his mother was married to a man named Qi Liang. Xiao Jiang pulled Xiao Wu and said let's rush to Qijiazhuang!
Drove to Qijiazhuang, and before the car stopped, I heard a dog barking. As soon as the two policemen got out of the car, they asked a few villagers in the field, did they see Xu Sijin?
An old man in a straw hat stretched out his hand and pointed to an old mother who was washing clothes on the wharf of Dangjiatang, and said that it was Xu Sijin's mother, you should ask. Xiao Jiang walked out of the field, went down to the dock where the draught was about to be draught, and asked the gray-haired mother who was beating her clothes with a yellow mallet, can your son be at home with four catties?
When my mother heard the sound, she stopped working, and looked back at a person in a police uniform standing behind her, she didn't answer directly, but said, did Sijin commit trouble outside again? Xiao Jiang said that he committed a small thing, not too serious, but it is also a crime, and we have to find him.
My mother is a reasonable person, she said that Sijin came back very late yesterday, and he was at home. Comrade policeman, wait a minute, I will take you to his home to find him, so that he can receive your education.
The old mother sped up, whipped the rest of the clothes a few times, soaked them in clean water, kneaded the water, and put them in the basket where a few clothes had been placed.
Along the way, the dog barked constantly, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the clothes that my mother had washed were not dry, so she yelled at the inside of the open door. There was no response inside, Xiao Wu whispered, stop shouting, go in and see.
