Chapter 304 There is a road to heaven, but don’t take it
Qin Dabao took Fan Jinquan back to the police station. Fan Jinquan kept begging for mercy and making wishes along the way, but Qin Dabao and Liu Xiangmei ignored him.
This matter is no longer something Dabao can let go of. Putting aside other matters involving Fan Jinquan, the case of hiring a killer to injure someone has already formed a closed loop and he must be dealt with. Besides, Dabao is not familiar with him, so why should he be let off the hook?
The police station's lunch was ready: steamed buns made of two-grain flour and stewed venison with radish. Dabao asked Liu Xiangmei to handcuff Fan Jinquan in the office.
Here, he asked Yuxiu to go to the health center to deliver food to Sun Lianfu, and to call Ergou, Sun Youfu, Xiaonian and Runyue to come over for dinner.
Dabao held a little girl in one hand and took out two cans of beef, preparing to cook for Zuo Mingyue.
Liu Xiangmei poked her head out of the large office and called out, "Director, it's a phone call."
Dabao agreed and told Liu Guifang to keep an eye on Yuyun Yuxue. He hurried to the big office and saw Fan Jinquan handcuffed to a chair with his hands behind his back. Fan Jinquan looked like a stray dog, with his head down and not saying a word.
Dabao patted Liu Xiangmei on the shoulder and picked up the phone on the table.
"Hello, I'm Qin Dabao."
Lu Xiu'e's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Silly son, have you forgotten that you have a father and a mother?"
When Dabao heard his mother's voice, he immediately became happy: "Mom, why are you so kind as to call me?"
"If I hadn't called you, would you have forgotten which way the door opens?"
Dabao laughed and said, "Mom, I'm busy. I've had too many things to do these past two days."
"No matter how busy you are, you have to go home for dinner. Let's go back to your grandma's house tonight. Your uncles are all home, and I just happen to have something to tell you."
"Okay, I'll go back early."
Lu Xiu'e gave a few more instructions before hanging up the phone. She knew that her son had just gone to the rural police station and must be busy, so she didn't say much.
Dabao also happened to be going back to tell his grandmother about Grandma Sun's hospitalization so that they could arrange for her to go to the general hospital for treatment tomorrow.
Dabao was stewing radish with canned beef in the kitchen, and two little girls were sharing a can of apples. Zuo Mingyue and Daya ran into the yard.
"Dabao, Dabao." Zuo Mingyue called anxiously.
Dabao, wearing an apron and with his sleeves rolled up high, poked his head out of the kitchen and asked, "What's going on?"
Zuo Mingyue and Daya entered the kitchen. Dabao covered the pot and wiped his hands with his apron.
"What's wrong?"
Zuo Mingyue handed a few pieces of paper to Dabao: "This is Tan Xianglan's confession. It seems to be quite serious."
Dabao took it and read it carefully, frowning: "Fan Jinquan actually forced himself on Tan Xianglan? Fan Jinmin is an accomplice?"
Fan Jinquan and Fan Jinmin secretly resold vegetables and meat on the black market? It's been three years, and the amount involved is tens of thousands? These parasites are harming the public interest and enriching themselves, right?
He put down his sleeves and said, "Yueliang, this pot of beef is made for you. It will be ready soon. Take Daya, Yuyun and Yuxue to your room to eat."
Zuo Mingyue agreed: "What about you?"
Dabao took off his apron and said, "I'm going to interrogate Fan Jinmin. These matters must be resolved."
Zuo Mingyue pinched the twins' little faces. They had been eating and drinking well these days, and the two little girls' faces had become firmer like dough, and their hair was no longer dry and yellow. Of course, this was mostly due to the water from the spiritual well.
Dabao just walked to the middle of the yard when he heard someone calling him brother. He turned around and saw that it was Ergou who brought Xiaonian and Runyue back for dinner.
Xiaonian and Runyue's faces were red from running. They had been to the commune to attend the market before, but had never dared to enter the police station. Now that they could come in, they were flattered.
Dabao rubbed their hair and said, "Go ahead. Your sister Mingyue is in the kitchen. You can have dinner with your sister Mingyue."
"Brother, don't you want to eat with us?" Xiaonian's eyes widened.
"I have something to do, let's eat later."
Dabao walked to the stable and waved his hand: "Uncle, you two go eat. I have a few questions to discuss with Village Chief Fan."
Qin Qinggui and Zhao Wuhe agreed and left.
Dabao took out a cigarette and lit it, then squinted his eyes and looked at Fan Jinmin. Fan Jinmin was really scared and lowered his head, not daring to look at Dabao.
Dabao cleared his throat and said, "Lao Fan, your cousin is squatting over there. Don't imagine that he can come to save you. Just cooperate with me and say what you need to say. Otherwise, both of us will have to work hard."
Fan Jinmin rolled his eyes and looked at Dabao: "That's all, there's nothing else."
Dabao sneered: "Don't worry, I will help you restore your memory. I believe you will remember it soon."
"Ah? Ah..."
Fan Jinmin's mournful singing voice was then heard in the stable.
. . . .
In the office, Zuo Mingyue and Daya brought two pots of food and placed them on the table, asking Xiaonian and Runyue to sit down. She was just about to go out to the kitchen to get steamed buns.
Two jeeps drove into the yard of the police station. Zuo Mingyue stood on the steps and squinted her eyes. The two jeeps had the license plates of the military compound.
The jeeps stopped, and a young man jumped out of the first car. He had a shiny backcombed hair, fair skin, a pair of narrow eyes, a high nose bridge, and was wearing a gray Zhongshan suit and three-piece leather shoes.
As soon as he got out of the car, he walked towards Zuo Mingyue and said with a smile: "Mingyue, hello?"
Zuo Mingyue frowned: "Wei Zhouyan? What are you doing here?"
Weekend Yan turned around and took out two net bags from the car. There were cakes, malted milk and apples in them. He held them up.
"I came here specially to see you."
"Look at me? What do you have to do with me? Do I need you to come and see me?"
"From what you said, we are an engaged couple, so I think my fiancée should be fine, right?"
Zuo Mingyue's face turned cold in an instant: "Wei Zhouyan, although we know each other, we don't have much contact. If you talk nonsense, I don't mind beating you to death."
Zhou Moyan handed the things in his hand to the driver. He knew Zuo Mingyue's temper. He waved his hands repeatedly: "Grandma Li has promised you to me. If we are not engaged, what are we?"
Zuo Mingyue put her hands behind her back and said, "Wei Zhouyan, I have already made it clear that I have a partner. I don't care who agrees to marry you. I will let whoever agrees to marry you."
Weekend Yan chuckled and said, "Aren't you going too far? As the saying goes, parents' orders are final, matchmaker's words are final. This marriage was arranged by Grandma Li and my grandfather. Whether you admit it or not, this is the fact."
At this time, Ergou and others ran out. When Ergou saw Zhou Moyan, he hurried to Zuo Mingyue.
"Boss, what's going on? Why is this grandson here?"
Weekend Yan's face sank: "Er Gouzi, did you eat feces? Your mouth stinks so bad."
Zuo Mingyue sneered: "Wei Zhouyan, you know who you are, and I know too. You are treating me like a wife, right?"
Ergou exploded: "Weekendyan, how dare you set your sights on my boss? Have you had enough of life?"
Weekend Yan smoothed his hair and grinned, "Er Gou, remember what you said to me. Sooner or later, I will make you kneel on the ground and kowtow to apologize to me."
Zuo Mingyue helped Ergou. She knew that Zhou Moyan was different from them. They, including Erkui, were all a group of children who usually fought and played pranks.
Weekend Yan represents another group of people in the military compound. These people are vicious, lawless, and appear to be human beings on the surface, but they do all kinds of bad things behind the scenes.
"Weekendyan, stop talking nonsense. It's impossible for me to talk to you. Just give up on this idea."
Weekend Yan laughed heartily, with a mad look in his eyes: "Mingyue, I like your wild girl look. Let me tell you, this marriage is settled, and no one can change it."
"Is it settled? Go find whoever made the decision. It has nothing to do with me!"
"You say it's okay, so it's okay? Let me tell you straight up, Grandma Li has already agreed, you have to marry her whether you want to or not!"
