Chapter 442 Anecdote in the Mountain Village (1)

Liu Zhenwu's house in the village is at the westernmost end of the village. There is a bamboo forest in front of the door. More than a dozen chickens are leisurely looking for food in the bamboo forest. Although the house is not as grand as the new house of the Dai Jialang family, it is a bungalow with a large courtyard.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the yard was indeed full of flowers and plants. Under an old elm tree, there was a man lying on a bamboo lounge chair. The newspaper in his hand almost covered his entire face. On a square stool next to the lounge chair, there was a large teacup and a pack of cigarettes.

"Dad, I'm back." Liu Xiang said.

Liu Zhenwu put away the newspaper, sat up slowly, stared at Dai Jialang for a few glances, and asked, "Is this your friend?"

Dai Jialang then saw Liu Zhenwu clearly. If he hadn't known his identity in advance, it would have been no different from ordinary elderly people in the countryside.

However, although he is nearly eighty years old, he does not look old. His thin figure looks energetic, especially when his eyes are staring at people, he seems to have a kind of penetration.

"Uncle Liu, hello, my name is Dai Jialang." Dai Jialang introduced himself with a smile.

Liu Zhenwu did not respond to Dai Jialang, but asked his daughter: "Will you go back tonight?"

Liu Xiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Go back after dinner."

Liu Zhenwu said: "I caught a chicken this morning and put it in the kitchen. You go and kill it and eat it tonight."

When Dai Jialang heard this, he waved his hand and said, "No, no, why are you doing so polite?"

Liu Xiang laughed and said, "It's already this hour, so just have dinner before going back. I rarely come back, so it's rare to cook a meal for my dad.

If you don’t eat it, you will definitely regret it. My dad raises real native chickens. You can’t even eat it if you have money in the city. Since my dad has arrested them, try my skills.”

Liu Zhenwu nodded and said, "It seems that it will rain. The house is stuffy, and it is still comfortable to sit in the yard. Go and get a stool and make a cup of tea for Xiaodai."

Dai Jialang didn't know if Liu Xiang was already married, and thought to himself that if he was not married, Liu Zhenwu wouldn't have mistakenly thought that he was his daughter's boyfriend.

Liu Xiang brought a small stool from the room, put a cup of tea on the square stool, and said, "You guys talk slowly, I'm going to kill the chicken. This kind of native chicken will not be cooked for a while, so you have to put it in the pot in advance." After that, he went into the room.

Seeing that Fang Denghang had a pack of cigarettes, Dai Jialang hurriedly took out the cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Liu Zhenwu, and then lit it for him. Then he lit it himself and said, "Uncle Liu, no wonder you want to live in the countryside. The scenery here is really nice, it's a paradise."

Liu Zhenwu waved his hand and said, "You are just fresh for a while. This kind of place is only suitable for people of my age. Young people can't stay there. Not to mention you, even my own children can't stay for two days. There is no trace of young people in the village."

When Dai Jialang heard this, he realized that Liu Zhenwu was not the only child Liu Xiang, and smiled and said, "The key is that young people can't stand loneliness. The place is indeed a good place."

"Are you from Erdaohe?" Liu Zhenwu asked.

Dai Jialang shook his head and said, "My hometown is also from the countryside. My home is in a small village in Yunling County. I am currently working in Nanzhao City. However, I have also worked in Erdaohe for a while."

"Oh, what business is in Erdaohe?" Liu Zhenwu asked casually.

Dai Jialang saw that Liu Zhenwu began to touch his background, but he was a little hesitant. He knew that although the old man in front of him looked like a farmer, he had been in the detention center and the public security bureau after all, and those eyes could show that he was not easy to fool.

Therefore, if you want to gain his trust, it is best to tell the truth. Even if you don’t get his trust, at least you must make him feel good about himself.

"I worked in the demolition office of Erdaohe Engineering Command for a while two years ago, and then resigned." Dai Jialang said, guessing that Liu Zhenwu lived in such a remote village, he probably had never heard of his name.

It happened that Liu Xiang came out of the house, listened to Dai Jialang's words, and smiled and said, "Dad, you must have heard of the case of demolition handling, it was actually the first one that Dai Jialang discovered."

Liu Zhenwu was stunned, hurriedly sat upright, stared at Dai Jialang and asked, "Are you the whistleblower?"

Dai Jialang waved his hand quickly and said, "I have never reported it. I just told Director Luo of Erdaohe Public Security Bureau what I learned."

Liu Zhenwu said in surprise: "Do you know Luo Yumei?"

Dai Jialang nodded and said with a sad look: "Speaking of this, she is a friend I met earlier in Erdaohe, but unfortunately she died in a car accident."

Liu Zhenwu slowly leaned on the back of the chair, hesitated for a while, and said, "So you have worked for Zhou Jiyao?"

Dai Jialang hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, the Erdaohe Engineering General Command does belong to Zhou Jiyao Company. However, since the last time the demolition case was filed, I can't stay anymore, and later resigned." After saying that, I felt uneasy, afraid that my lies would be seen through by Liu Zhenwu.

Fortunately, Liu Zhenwu didn't seem to pursue this matter. He nodded and said, "You stabbed the hornet's nest, so naturally you can't stay there. What business is going on now?"

Dai Jialang lied again: "Do some small business, do some clothing business like Liu Xiang."

Liu Zhenwu picked up the big teacup and took a sip of tea, and asked, "I heard from A Xiang that you want to ask me about what case happened more than 30 years ago?"

When Dai Jialang heard that Liu Zhenwu was on the spot, he understood that he was at least willing to talk to him. Obviously, his bravery won his favor, but he was not sure whether the Erdaohe Public Security Bureau had come to him.

"Uncle Liu, do you remember a woman named Wang Meijuan who was detained in Erdaohe Detention Center back then?" Dai Jialang asked.

In fact, Dai Jialang has basically understood his mother's experience in Erdaohe Detention Center. The main purpose of his visit to Erdaohe this time was to block Uncle Wu's mouth. Unexpectedly, he had passed away, so he was not worried that his mother's secret would be leaked.

But unexpectedly, Yang Yu actually found him another "informer" and was older than Uncle Wu, so he must have known a lot of things.

So, in order to prevent it, he decided to meet Liu Zhenwu. On the one hand, he tried to see whether he knew the secret of his mother back then. On the other hand, he wanted to figure out what kind of kindness Yang Zhao had to Zhou Jiyao. Uncle Wu didn't say this very clearly. Maybe Liu Zhenwu knew something.

Liu Zhenwu frowned and recalled for a while, saying, "How can I remember this? There are at least a thousand people detained in the detention center, and even hundreds of female prisoners. Besides, it was something that happened more than 30 years ago, so I really can't remember it."

Dai Jialang felt relieved when he heard this. He wished Liu Zhenwu would not remember his mother's affairs. At the same time, when Liu Zhenwu's tone seemed to have never asked him to investigate.

However, he seemed a little worried. He took out the registration form for his mother's detention from his pocket and handed it to Liu Zhenwu, saying, "Uncle Liu, take a closer look, there are photos on it."

Liu Zhenwu shouted into the room: "Axiang, bring my reading glasses."

After a while, Liu Xiang brought reading glasses and continued to go back to the room to work hard on her native chicken. Here, Liu Zhenwu put on reading glasses and looked at the form for several minutes before taking off the reading glasses and asked, "Who is this woman to you?"

Dai Jialang's heart moved. Seeing Liu Zhenwu suddenly recalled it, he couldn't help but worry, because he knew from his feelings that Liu Zhenwu was not like Uncle Wu, and could settle it with some money or two cigarettes.

If he had known about his mother's past and the police came to him to investigate, he would have said it, even if he wanted to block his mouth, he would not be able to block it.

"What? Are you remembering it?" Dai Jialang asked with a worried look on his face.

Liu Zhenwu stared at the photo on the registration form for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "It looks familiar, but I can't remember it. The charge on this is just about assaulting the police. What is the case?"

Dai Jialang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's not a big case. Wu Meijuan sold some fruits in Erdaohe. Maybe the police wanted to confiscate her fruits. In a hurry, she beat a policeman with a shoulder pole, and then was arrested in the detention center for more than 20 days."

Liu Zhenwu nodded and said, "That's a small case. If it's a big case, it's possible to remember it. There's no impression of the small case."

When Dai Jialang saw that Liu Zhenwu had not recognized his mother with the photo, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. However, he felt strange in his heart, why did Uncle Wu know and remember his mother's affairs, and why did Liu Zhenwu, who also worked in the detention center, have no impression of his mother?

The only explanation is that Uncle Wu should also be a pervert. Most of the time his mother's beauty left an impression on him first, and at the same time he secretly understood the tricks between Yang Zhao and Zhou Jiyao, so he left a deep impression on him, so he has not forgotten it for more than 30 years.

Liu Zhenwu is obviously a gentleman and does not pay much attention to the appearance of a female prisoner. He should not know the secretly engaged in Yang Zhao and Zhou Jiyao, so he naturally won’t have an impression.

"What does this woman have to do with you? What do you want to ask about?" Liu Zhenwu asked curiously.

Since Liu Zhenwu is not an insider, Dai Jialang is unwilling to talk about this matter. However, he tried to turn the topic to Yang Zhao and Zhou Jiyao, and he struggled for a while and said, "In fact, she is a relative of mine. I want to finish the insult she was in the detention center back then."

Liu Zhenwu said in surprise: "What? What insults did she receive?"

Dai Jialang hesitated for a while before staring at Liu Zhenwu and asked, "Do you know Yang Zhao?"
