Chapter 3 After-effects of Reporting
Early the next morning, the captain led people to send several traffickers to the Public Security Bureau.
Jiang Li slept soundly and woke up refreshed in the morning.
Yesterday she had trouble getting out of bed, and today she feels like she can run.
In a hurry last night, Jiang Li didn't have time to observe the environment at home, and after walking around the house today, he realized what it meant to be poor.
The adobe house is quite large, with a total of four rooms and a hall, as well as a stove and toilet, which can solve simple life problems.
This house must be some years old, the walls are cracking everywhere, and a secondary beam on the roof has been broken in half, and it may fall down at any time, and even the house may collapse.
Such a dilapidated house is very clean, and there is not even a single cobweb on the beams.
Usually the housework is done by her sister Jiang Yun, such a hard-working and willing girl, I don't know how the original owner can do it?
The family was so poor that the windows were all shattered, and the house was full of wind.
The door of the cabinet had fallen, the stool was lame, and one section of the table leg had been eaten by termites, and it was not even placed.
There is not a single decent piece of furniture in this house, everything is tattered and old.
There is not much food at home, Jiang Li touched his personal pocket, and there were 18 yuan and 5 cents and 2 cents left, which was the money left after selling his younger brothers and sisters.
As soon as he saw the money, Jiang Li couldn't help but think of the tragic situation of his younger brothers and sisters who came back for revenge many years later.
Jiang Yi was broken by someone, he was completely unconscious in one leg, and the other leg was weak from the beginning to gradually able to stand, he came back on crutches to ask for her life!
and her sister, who was said to have been sold to a childless family in the Northeast in the early years, and later gave birth to a son, and her sister became their nanny.
When she grew up, she thought she was cumbersome, so he sold her to another trafficker at a low price, and finally was sold to a hair salon to start a leather and meat business.
When Jiang Yi found her, Jiang Yun was already in the advanced stage of cervical cancer, and there was no possibility of cure.
Although they came back and killed Jiang Li, they died of illness and were shot, which was equivalent to losing both, and no one got a bargain.
A family that should love each other ends up killing each other, but the traffickers get away with it, which really shouldn't be!
Since she has become the real Jiang Li, she will not let the tragedy happen, she wants to keep her younger brother and find her sister, so that they can grow up healthy and worry-free in this life! I also want to find out the murderer who hurt my father and give Jiang Li justice!
Jiang Li found a packet of flour in the wooden cabinet in the stove room, and went outside the yard to pull a few wild vegetables.
Wild vegetables mixed with flour boiled a bowl of flour gnocchi, and Jiang Li, who had been hungry for a long time, ate it with relish.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the captain came to the door with two public security officers to understand the situation.
The people in the village were curious and followed in the fun, and when they saw that the public security went to Jiang Li's house, a group of people gathered around and whispered.
"What happened to Jiang Li's family? Isn't it enough for her to be angry with her parents? Do you want to do it now? ”
"This Jiang Li is really not worrying at all, if anyone gives birth to such a girl, it will really be eight lifetimes of mold!"
"Zhang Yufen's marriage is not as good as her sister, and even the daughter she gave birth to is a big difference, look at how well-behaved and sensible her cousin Song Jialin is, smart and responsible, this child raised by the poor is different from the rich raised!"
The furniture at home was too tattered, and there was no place to sit when people came, Jiang Li politely made tea for them, and everyone gathered around the lame table to understand the situation.
"Jiang Li, right? Are you going to report the crime? Could you please elaborate on the specific situation? ”
It stands to reason that the police force in the 70s was very tight, and if it was not a major criminal case, the public security would not come to the door, considering that Jiang Li was about to give birth, so she made an exception.
Jiang Li told him again about selling his younger brothers and sisters in a moment's confusion.
"I just regret it now, I want to get my sister back, human traffickers have caused so many people to be separated, and I also want them to be punished as they deserve!"
Jiang Li said sincerely, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
The police originally wanted to blame her, but seeing her crying sadly and having such a big belly, they finally endured it.
"Buying and selling children is a crime against the law, and if you are a first-time offender, and you took the initiative to report the case, you also assisted the villagers in catching three traffickers yesterday, and this matter will be overcome."
"Tell me about your sister's characteristics, and we'll investigate based on what you provide."
Jiang Li immediately brought a pen and paper from the room, she recalled her sister's appearance, and directly drew a sketch.
"Comrade, my sister looks like this."
The sketch was handed over, and everyone's eyes were different when they looked at Jiang Li.
Especially the captain, he pointed to the black and white portrait and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, Jiang Yun looks like this, exactly like the painting on this paper." ”
"The drawing is good, and the more accurate the portrait, the easier it is for us to investigate."
Originally, they wanted to find a portrait of a painter after returning according to the characteristics of the characters provided by Jiang Li, but they didn't expect Jiang Li to paint portraits at a higher level than painters.
"Thank you Comrade Public Security for your compliment, if the Public Security Bureau has a portrait business in the future, I can provide services for a fee."
Jiang Li took the opportunity to advertise himself, the two police officers were stunned, and the captain was also stunned.
It's the first time I've heard that the person who reported the crime wants to do business with their public security bureau.
"Good! If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely look for you! ”
Just by virtue of this sketch she painted, she is completely at the level of a master and is qualified to negotiate terms with them.
The two police officers were sent away, but the captain did not leave.
"That, Jiang Li, when did you become so good at drawing? I've never seen you study before! ”
"I just draw casually when I'm fine, I haven't studied it specifically, it's just an amateur."
She began studying art at the age of five and worked her way up to her sophomore year of high school.
Originally, I could go to university with an art major, but at that time, my family suddenly changed and I couldn't afford the high tuition fees of art schools, so I chose an English major that is convenient for girls to find employment when I applied for the exam.
Although I missed out on 985 colleges, after four years of hard work, my English proficiency in a college has also reached the level of professional level 8.
"Seeing that you draw so well, I want you to do me a favor."
The bold captain spoke hesitantly for the first time, and it was only under Jiang Li's encouraging and inquiring eyes that he said it with difficulty.
"My old lady has been dying lately, and she doesn't want to ask her to go to the photo studio in town to take a picture. If you can, I would like to ask you to draw a portrait of her, it is better to paint a more spiritual, and we will have a thought when we see this portrait in the future. ”
Jiang Li was about to give birth, and he shouldn't have gone to see the dying person at this time, this is an unfortunate thing in their village, and ordinary people will not agree, but Jiang Li agreed without hesitation.
"Uncle, I thought it was a big deal, when would I paint? I'll be on the door right away! ”
"When I buy all the sketchpads and blank paper in the afternoon, I'll trouble you tomorrow."
The captain was rarely out of control when he was old, and he slapped Jiang Li twice on the back in a row.
Although this girl was confused and made a big mistake for a while, she is still quite capable, but it's a pity that she ruined herself! Ay!
"Huh? Why were you so happy when the police left? ”
"Did you see that? They have a smile on the corner of their mouths, and they seem to be holding a piece of paper in their hands, yes, yes, yes, they are just looking at that piece of paper and smiling, what is written on that piece of paper? ”
"Did Jiang Li commit any crimes? It can't be a good thing for the police to look for her, right? ”
Everyone is still speculating that the captain immediately began to drive away when he went out.
"Let's go, let's go, don't all gather around here to join in the fun, don't you have to do the work in the field? Don't you have to do the housework at home? Don't you have to bring your child? ”
As soon as the captain spoke, the villagers who saw the excitement immediately dispersed, and the peace at the door of Jiang Li's house was restored again, but Jiangjia Village was not calm......
