Chapter 18 Start patrolling
This night was the most secure night that Chen Yang had ever slept since he was a child.
This night was also the most torturous and mixed night for Qi Tongwei.
Fortunately, the faint jasmine scent on Chen Yang had a calming effect, and Qi Tongwei fell into a deep sleep afterwards.
When the rooster crowed at dawn, Qi Jianguo was the first to go out and ask for sick leave for his father Qi Mancang from the village party secretary.
Early in the morning, Qi Desheng, the village party secretary of Qijia Village, was brushing his teeth while holding a large teacup.
When he learned of Qi Jianguo's intention, he shook his head repeatedly on the spot: "No, Jianguo, this is the arrangement of the town government, and I am also in a difficult situation.
The town is currently holding a competition for beautiful villages. The village that performs best will have a chance.
You don’t want Qijia Village to be held back because of your father, do you? "
"What the hell?" Qi Jianguo was confused. "Three urban management officials have died, and they are still running for a beautiful village. Is the government so idle?"
"Okay, Jianguo." Qi Desheng waved his hand impatiently: "Don't ask so many questions. Since your father sprained his ankle, let your son Qi Tongwei take over.
He is the only college student in our village. Sending him there will also give face to our village chief. Do you think this is okay?"
"No, Secretary." Qi Jianguo looked embarrassed: "Tongwei is a scholar, patrolling the public security requires him to walk all the time, which will tire him out."
"If that doesn't work, just let your grandfather Qi Renyi go. That should be fine, right?"
"You can't." Qi Jianguo glared, "My grandpa has trouble walking. If we let him go, it won't be as simple as a sprained ankle like my dad. If he dies there again, will you be responsible?"
"Look, he's in a hurry."
"I'm anxious for you, uncle."
"What qualities."
"Quality, that's it."
After yelling at Qi Desheng, Qi Jianguo stormed back home. It seemed that Qi Tongwei would have to take charge of today's security patrol.
In fact, at the beginning, Qi Jianguo felt sorry for his son and was unwilling to let the delicate and tender Qi Tongwei participate in patrolling and security.
It's very painful to be exposed to the wind and sun, but it's also free voluntary labor.
What a shame that Qijia Village is the only university student there, it's all just empty title, fake.
It turns out that the importance of this matter is actually related to the beautiful countryside, Qi Jianguo, a farmer who has been farming for many years.
Although he was not sure what it was exactly, since it involved the village collective, he had to think carefully.
"Bang bang bang!"
As soon as Qi Jianguo got home, he started knocking on Qi Tongwei's door: "Tongwei, are you up?"
"What's wrong, Dad?"
Qi Tongwei in the room was sleepy.
Qi Jianguo, who was standing outside the door, gritted his teeth and said, "Hurry up and put on your clothes. Come with me to the town to take over your grandfather's patrol post. The village party secretary is a ruthless bastard. He is a son of a bitch."
"Ok."
Qi Tongwei broke away from the gentle embrace and kissed Chen Yang on the face before leaving. Then he turned around and left angrily.
……
"Dad, why are you so angry so early in the morning? Did you have a fight with the village party secretary?"
Qi Tongwei fetched a basin of water and began to wash his face. The mountain spring water was refreshing and very comfortable.
"That's right. He said if your grandfather couldn't go, he'd let you go. If you still couldn't go, he'd let your great-grandfather go. I scolded him right there and then."
Qi Jianguo pushed out the wheelbarrow and put a small blanket on it.
Qi Tongwei wondered: "Why are you pushing this?"
"I'll let you sit down. You have skinny arms and legs. If you really walk to the town, you will be exhausted."
"Forget it." Qi Tongwei really laughed: "I'm not a three-year-old child. If you push me, others will laugh to death.
Besides, I'm such a big guy, it would be tiring for you to push me."
"Why bother with them? That's how I pushed you when you were little, and it's the same now that you're older."
"Okay, Dad, stop making a fool of yourself. I'm not sitting here."
"You really don't want to sit?"
"I really don't want to sit."
"Okay, I'll go borrow the yellow cow from Lao Ga's house next door."
"..."
Qi Tongwei set off. He sat on the back of the old ox, and his father Qi Jianguo walked in front holding the rope.
In order to prevent people from seeing my face clearly.
When Qi Tongwei came from home, he specially took a bamboo hat and put it on his head.
But even this was no match for Qi Jianguo's nonsense along the way.
"Jianguo, where are you going? Who is this person on the back of the cow you are leading?"
"Hey, who else could it be? Of course it's my son Tongwei, who just graduated from college yesterday.
Today, he has to go to the joint defense team to patrol for my father. The child is very sensible and knows how to be filial to his grandfather. "
"Really? Then Jianguo, you are really capable. You gave birth to a filial college student."
"No, no, I have something else to do. The mayor is waiting to meet my dear Tong Wei and is planning to hire him as his secretary."
"What? The mayor wants to hire your Tongwei as his secretary? That's amazing, really amazing. If I need you to do anything in the future, you must agree to it."
"Hey, we are all fellow villagers. It doesn't matter if you have something to say. Just tell me. I'm leaving now."
Qi Tongwei sat on the cow's back, cold sweat pouring down his face. Why was his father so boastful?
Also, no wonder so many fellow villagers in his previous life came to him for help, it turned out that they were all boasts made by Qi Jianguo.
It was not until the sun finally warmed up that the father and son walked into the town.
Qi Jianguo went to buy a few big buns, and the father and son had a satisfying breakfast.
"How do we patrol? Do we need to change into the uniforms of the joint defense team?"
In Qi Tongwei's impression, the current joint defense team is not as good as the auxiliary police in the future.
It is a voluntary non-governmental organization that handles and responds to emergency situations.
If it weren't for the collective honor of the village, no one would do it.
"No need to change." Qi Jianguo yawned. "The joint defense team doesn't have our clothes either. When the captain comes, we'll see which street he assigns us to. We'll just have to wander around there until dark."
Qi Tongwei felt bored: "When will this end? We can't keep doing this every day."
"Who knows? We have to catch the murderer to end this."
"Then you'll have to be busy during this period."
In an era when there was no surveillance in the streets and no Sky Eye.
A carpet search conducted by manpower would be almost useless.
Therefore, the role of the joint defense team is only to prevent more casualties in a timely and effective manner when a vicious incident occurs again.
To put it bluntly, the person who died was someone within the system, which frightened the leaders of the town government, so they formed a joint defense team from the public.
Otherwise, if an ordinary person died, we would just open a case for investigation. It would be best if we could catch the perpetrator, but if we can’t, then forget it.
Qi Tongwei and Qi Jianguo were assigned to Yuzhu Street, which is the street with the most people in the entire Yulong Town.
Because this street is a market street, every 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th day of every month is filled with people doing business.
And today, the 5th, is the big market day.
The father and son began to wander around, which is exactly what the name implies, patrolling.
Qi Tongwei, who hadn't been to the market at home for several years, found everything new and fresh.
There weren't too many people in the morning, just a few scattered around.
Most of those carrying baskets or holding baskets are middle-aged women and young wives holding children.
Buyers and sellers bargained over prices, their faces red and their necks thick with arguments over a few cents, just like ordinary people.
The emerald green beans, plump eggplants, and full broad beans make people want to buy them at first sight.
Qi Tongwei couldn't help but sigh: "They are all organic foods, which is rare in the city."
Qi Jianguo agreed: "Of course, it's all made from our own manure, without any chemical fertilizers."
"No, Dad, can we be more civilized?"
"Okay, okay, you think dad is embarrassing you, right? Then I won't say anything."
Qi Tongwei thought that he could just wander around here until the sun sets, finish his job and go home.
You know, it's not easy to find the murderer in such a huge crowd of people.
However, before he even walked from the beginning to the end of Yuzhu Street, he spotted a suspicious person.
