Liu Guangtian, who was guarding the door, watched a group of soldiers come in. He stood there in a daze, not daring to stop them.
Mr. Qiao brought his men to Li Kailang's house.
"Dong dong!"
"Xiao Li, are you at home?" asked Mr. Hua.
But no sound came from the house.
Mr. Hua knocked on the door again, but still no sound came from inside, which instantly made Mr. Qiao realize that something was wrong.
Could it be that Li Kailang ran away out of fear of punishment?
"Break in!"
A soldier kicked open the door, and then a group of soldiers rushed in.
Looking at the luxurious decoration in the house, Old Qiao frowned, "It seems that the person is not only fleeing for fear of crime, but may also be an enemy spy."
The soldiers immediately separated and searched different rooms.
Mr. Qiao went to Li Kailang's bedroom and carefully checked the desk and the floor to see if he could find any scraps of paper.
Li Kailang was working in the planting space. There was nothing unusual in the room except for the luxurious decoration.
Mr. Qiao walked out of the bedroom and looked at the other rooms, which were quite luxurious.
At this time, I noticed that there were two spirit tablets in the corner of the living room, and two black and white portraits were hanging on the niche, obviously they were Li Kailang's parents.
My father’s black and white portrait shows him wearing a military uniform, and the word “soldier” is written on the spirit tablet.
Old Qiao saluted his father solemnly.
When the soldiers searched, they found a small red book and a small box, which they immediately handed over to Mr. Qiao.
"Commander Qiao, take a look at this."
Old Qiao couldn't help but frown when he saw the words "Martyr's Relatives" written on the cover of the booklet.
When he opened the box again, he found two medals inside, one with First Class Merit and the other with Third Class Merit.
In an instant, Mr. Qiao couldn't help but doubt his previous judgment. How could a descendant of a soldier escape and be an enemy spy?
Old Qiao pointed at a soldier and said, "Go to the street office and ask what's going on with this Li Kailang?"
"Yes!" The soldier saluted and went to the street office.
Old Qiao looked around. All the situations were very strange and conflicting in his mind.
After becoming a soldier’s family member, do you run away?
Brewing wine, enemy spy?
Great Contributor?
Various ideas emerge in my mind, making it difficult to understand for a moment.
"The most urgent task now is to find the person, then everything can be explained." Old Qiao said to himself.
He turned around and walked out, looking at the people gathered in the yard.
"Look, look, Li Kailang must have done something bad. So many soldiers have come to catch him. Once they catch him, they will definitely shoot him!" Jia Zhang said happily.
"My mom is right. Li Kailang guessed that he would be caught, so he ran away. But I don't think he can escape for long. The soldiers will definitely catch him when they arrive." Jia Dongxu agreed.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what's the use of having great abilities? You may not be caught even if you do bad things." Sha Zhu said, adding insult to injury.
Everyone was talking about it at once, making malicious guesses about Li Kailang.
As soon as Mr. Qiao came out, everyone immediately shut up and looked at him with some fear.
Mr. Qiao got straight to the point: "Does anyone know when Li Kailang left? Where did he go?"
After saying that, Mr. Qiao looked at everyone, but everyone just looked at each other, not knowing where Li Kailang had gone.
The third aunt, the only one who knew Li Kailang's whereabouts, kept silent at this time. She was afraid that Li Kailang would get into trouble. If she told it, she would be in trouble.
The youngest daughter, Yan Jie Di, still needs to be raised, and Yan Jie Kuang is also still young, so she can't let anything happen to her at this time.
With the attitude of "it's none of my business", the three aunts kept silent about it.
It was precisely because the three aunts kept silent that Li Kailang had a lot of time.
Seeing this, Old Qiao changed the topic and asked, "Does anyone know where Li Kailang will go?"
Where will Li Kailang go? This made everyone worried.
Li Kailang usually sleeps in until noon and rarely goes out. He either makes furniture or goes to the supply and marketing cooperative.
When asked this question out of the blue, no one really had any idea where to go.
The third aunt knew, but she didn't dare to say it.
The scene fell silent again, leaving only the sound of sparrows flapping their wings.
No one answered, and the clue was lost. Sijiu City is so big, and this place is so close to the outside of the city, it is difficult to find.
"Commander, this is the cup and towel used by Li Kailang. There are water stains on them." A soldier took out something.
After checking, Qiao Lao ordered: "It seems that Li Kailang is not sure whether to leave or not. Send people to guard all the entrances and exits and never let him leave the city."
"Leave a few people here to guard, and the others will spread out to search. We must find him."
"Yes." The soldier saluted, left two people here to guard, and the others went out to look for it.
"Old Qiao, what's going on? Didn't you say you were just asking questions?" Old Hua grabbed Old Qiao's arm.
Old Qiao looked into his old friend's worried eyes and said, "Old Hua, it's not that I won't help you, but the person ran away. This is a serious matter."
After saying that, Mr. Qiao left and mobilized more people to search.
Many soldiers appeared in the streets and alleys of the entire city, which surprised everyone in the city.
Not only did they come to look for Li Kailang, but they also came to look for newcomers who had been seen by other bigwigs in the military compound. They called them all in for talks and physical examinations.
Mr. Qiao learned Li Kailang's identity from the neighborhood office. His father died on the battlefield and his mother passed away last year.
Li Kailang is also a driver. His identity background has been verified and it is highly likely that he is not an enemy spy.
Old Qiao immediately took people to find Master Zhang Jinwu and Lu Wenjiang to question them, asking them if they knew where Li Kailang was.
Naturally, they didn't know Li Kailang's location, so just in case, they sent people to guard the place to prevent him from being tipped off.
At this time, Li Kailang had already been hiding in Shichahai. He found a remote place and hid in the planting space.
"Damn it, why does my eyebrow still hurt so much? They haven't found me yet, so they must be suspicious." Li Kailang touched his eyebrow, which still hurt a little.
"The most urgent thing now is to recover from the injury. As long as the injury is gone, the rest is insignificant."
Li Kailang looked at the bullet marks on his arm, drank the spiritual spring water, poured himself with the spiritual spring water, and then fell asleep.
Time passed quietly, and in the evening, the night gradually appeared.
Li Kailang slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to check his injuries.
"Okay, okay, I'm finally recovered. Now I can finally rest assured."
Li Kailang looked at the place where the bullet mark was on his left arm. The flesh and blood were connected to the surrounding area and there was nothing unusual to see.
Li Kailang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. "Finally, I don't have to hide anymore. I can go out openly. They definitely didn't expect that I could recover so quickly."
The outside world sleeps for 11 hours, and the planting space sleeps for 110 hours, which is 4 and a half days.
Add to that the 3 hours of sleep I received at home, that’s a total of 6 days. Combined with the spiritual spring water, it’s pretty good that I recovered so quickly.
"This spiritual spring water has played a great role." Li Kailang said proudly.
What he didn't know was that this spiritual spring water was not the first spiritual spring water he had seen.
Every upgrade of the planting space will inadvertently lead to changes in the quality of the spiritual spring water, and its recovery ability will be further enhanced.
"Okay, now that everything is fine, it's time to go out. Speaking of which, the pain between my eyebrows finally doesn't hurt anymore." Li Kailang touched his eyebrows.
At this time, it was pitch black outside, and Li Kailang would not be discovered even if he appeared outside.
Get a few fish out of the freshwater fish soup, and then put traces of use on the tools used for fishing.
After finishing, Li Kailang got on his bike and said, "Go home!"
Li Kailang passed through the streets and alleys near the yard. Not many people lingered there, so they should be going home.
This made the movement of Li Kailang riding a bicycle seem very abnormal. Everyone lay at the door and looked at him with equally strange eyes.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what trouble." Li Kailang said lightly.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Kailang pushed the cart into the yard, he was immediately stopped by someone.
"Li Kailang, don't move!" the soldier shouted.
Li Kailang was pinned to the ground, with his hands behind his back, struggling violently: "Who are you? Why are you arresting me? Let go! Or I will be rude!"
The soldier said, "Li Kailang, we have been instructed by our superiors to arrest you. You'd better surrender, or don't blame us for being rude!"
If he really surrendered, it would mean that Li Kailang had anticipated all this and he would naturally resist.
"Let go! What rights do you have to arrest me? Do you have any evidence?" Li Kailang roared and pretended to struggle hard, but it was of no avail.
As they were arguing, several soldiers rushed out from the front yard, immediately restrained Li Kailang, and forced him into his house.
The lights were on inside, and Old Qiao and a group of soldiers were sitting there.
Li Kailang is in danger!!!
Hearing the noisy noise, all the residents in the yard came out, with all kinds of expressions, some expressing relief, some expressing worry, some expressing indifference.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this kid was caught and is dead." Jia Dongxu said thankfully.
"Shoot Li Kailang, he is a scourge. Without him, our yard will be peaceful." Jia Zhang said gloatingly.
in the room.
"Are you Li Kailang?" Mr. Qiao asked knowingly.
"I am. Who are you?" Li Kailang asked knowingly.
"Me? You have forgotten who I am. I just met you a while ago." said Mr. Qiao.
Li Kailang stared at him and pretended to be suddenly enlightened. "Oh, it's you. You are the rich man that Mr. Hua introduced."
"Rich man? Did you remember it wrongly? I live in a military compound." Old Qiao said indifferently.
"Military compound?" Li Kailang pretended to be enlightened. "It's you. I remembered it wrongly."
Li Kailang said angrily: "What do you want from me? There are so many soldiers here, don't I remember what I did wrong?"
Old Qiao waved his hand, signaling them to let go. Li Kailang moved his wrists, which still hurt a little from being restrained by the soldiers.
Old Qiao said calmly: "Whether you have done anything wrong or not, we need to investigate first to find out. If you haven't done anything wrong, I will naturally apologize."
Suddenly, his eyes fixed on Li Kailang, "Now I ask, you answer, where did you go this morning?"
Li Kailang deliberately didn't answer.
Qiao Laodao: "Don't answer? Don't answer, very good, I will directly determine that you are guilty and take you away!"
"Hey, hey, hey, wait, let's talk it over!" Li Kailang was scared and said quickly, "I'm going to Shichahai."
"What are you going to Shichahai for?"
"fishing!"
"how to prove?"
"I caught quite a few fish and had some catches."
Old Qiao looked at the soldier beside him, and he immediately went out to get the fish and the fishing box.
Looking at the fish and the marks left on the fishing rods and other tools, I couldn't help but believe it a little, but these could also be fakes.
"Besides this, what else can prove it?"
"This is not enough. We already have the fish. Am I going to go back and buy some fish without even checking the current situation?" Li Kailang said subconsciously, and then he suddenly realized.
"So I was afraid to buy fish. Proof? Oh, the auntie across the street can prove it. When I left this morning, I said hello to her and told her I was going fishing in Shichahai."
"The three aunties next door? You'd better confirm before answering." Mr. Qiao asked again.
"Yes!" Li Kailang nodded firmly.
"Bang!" Old Qiao slapped the table.
"I asked everyone this morning, and none of them saw you go out. Don't even think about lying. If you are found to be lying, the consequences will be serious."
Li Kailang slammed the table in dissatisfaction and retorted, "I am very sure that I said it. I did not lie."
Li Kailang looked at the soldiers and said, "You must have suddenly rushed in without explaining the reason. Auntie was afraid that she would be arrested if she told you, so she deliberately kept silent."
"She must be thinking that less trouble is worse than more. If you don't believe me, I can confront her."
Seeing Li Kailang so confident and determined, Old Qiao couldn't help but feel a little shaken.
"Go, call the people over for a confrontation!"
A soldier immediately went out and asked some questions, but the third aunt said she had never seen it.
Then the three aunts were brought in, and the soldier whispered to Mr. Qiao the result of the inquiry.
The third aunt looked at Li Kailang, who was sitting there calmly, with his arms folded and a proud look on his face.
It seems that Li Kailang has not done anything wrong, otherwise he wouldn't be like this.
"Third Auntie, you're here. Tell me, did I say hello to you this morning to go fishing in Shichahai?"
The three aunts nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Xiao Li greeted me this morning and said he was going fishing."
Old Qiao stared at the third aunt, "Why didn't you say anything when I asked you this morning? Why didn't you tell the truth when I asked you just now?"
The third aunt was trembling with fear, and Li Kailang immediately comforted her: "Third aunt, don't be afraid, I'm fine, just tell me, if they want to arrest me, they must have evidence."
"As long as you tell the truth, they won't do anything to you."
Seeing Li Kailang's serious expression, the third aunt felt a little relieved and explained stutteringly.
"I was afraid that Xiao Li had done something wrong. If I told you, you would arrest me. I didn't dare to say it. But now that Xiao Li is fine, I will tell you."
Old Qiao looked at the third aunt, so angry that he couldn't speak. He accused her, "We have to have evidence when arresting people. What are you afraid of?"
Old Qiao waved his hand to signal the three aunts to leave, and then asked Li Kailang: "Li Kailang, where did you go last night?"
Here, Mr. Qiao set a trap. He didn't ask what to do, but where to go.
It would be troublesome if Li Kailang spoke his mind and typed it out subconsciously.
"Where did you go?" Li Kailang looked at Mr. Qiao. "Mr. Qiao, I'm not at home sleeping at night, where should I go?"
"Can I sleep at your place? Do you have a bed for me?"
Li Kailang said unhappily, "It's better to go to Yanliu Lane and find some prostitutes to sleep with than to sleep with you. At least they smell good, unlike you, who smells like sweat."
As he spoke, Li Kailang pretended to wave his hand to blow away the stench in front of him.
Li Kailang's words made the serious soldier's mouth twitch slightly. He wanted to laugh but couldn't, which ruined the serious scene.
Old Qiao lowered his head slightly, twitched his nose and smelled the smell on his body, and sure enough, there was a smell of sweat.
He glanced at Li Kailang unhappily. It was all because of him. How could he not stink after a busy day?
Old Qiao couldn't help but scold: "Just answer the questions you are asked, don't say nonsense or change the subject."
"Ah, yes, yes, you are right, whatever you said is what it means." Li Kailang said lightly.
This sounds a bit strange. Chinese culture is indeed profound and extensive.
Afterwards, Mr. Qiao asked a few tricky questions, all of which were answered by Li Kailang.
"One last thing, could you please stretch out your left arm?" Old Qiao stared at Li Kailang with a serious look.
It is the Spring Festival now and the weather is sometimes hot and sometimes cold. Li Kailang put on a thin coat to cover his arms before going out.
As soon as Mr. Qiao said this, all the soldiers present stared at Li Kailang's left arm.
The security guard of the military compound hit Li Kailang's left arm, and it would be impossible for it to recover in one day.
As long as there is anything unusual, they will arrest Li Kailang directly.
The atmosphere became solemn again, and everyone couldn't help but narrow their eyes and stare.
Li Kailang felt the atmosphere, smiled slightly in his heart, and deliberately delayed time and said: "Why are you looking at my left arm?"
"Just stretch it out if I tell you to." Old Qiao shouted.
"Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say, let's see." Li Kailang stretched out his left arm directly.
Old Qiao frowned and shouted, "Take off your coat."
"Take it off if you want. Why are you so angry? You can't explain it clearly." Li Kailang muttered, took off his coat and stretched out his left arm.
"Hey, take a look. I don't know what you want to see. It's just an arm. What's so special about it?"
"No?" The soldiers were surprised that there was no scar on Li Kailang's left arm.
A soldier next to Mr. Qiao came out, grabbed Li Kailang's arm, looked him up and down, left and right, but did not see a single scar.
"How could there be nothing?" the soldier muttered to himself, and looked at Li Kailang's right hand, but there was nothing there either.
"Commander, could it be that the hit wasn't on the hand, but on the body?" he asked.
"It's possible. Please take off your shirt so we can take a closer look." said Mr. Qiao.
"Hey, what are you doing? Not only do you want to look at my hands, but you also want to look at my body. No, absolutely not!" Li Kailang hugged her chest with her hands, acting like a shy girl.
"Go ahead and take it off!" ordered Old Qiao.
"No! No!" Li Kailang shouted loudly on purpose, and his clothes were torn to pieces by them in a few seconds.
Li Kailang's muscular upper body was revealed. The soldiers looked carefully but still found nothing.
Li Kailang's screams were heard outside, and everyone couldn't help but feel curious and wanted to see what was going on.
"Tsk tsk tsk, a grown man was actually attacked by a group of people... Oh, how ridiculous!"
"Yeah, with so many people here, I don't know if Li Kailang can handle it."
In the room, Old Qiao and a group of soldiers couldn't help but twitch their lips, feeling a little embarrassed.
It would have been fine if they hadn't found any injuries, but after Li Kailang shouted, their innocence was cleared.
"Cough cough." Old Qiao coughed twice to ease the embarrassment.
"Comrade Li Kailang, we are sorry. We wronged you. You are fine. We will compensate you for the clothes."
Li Kailang was like a woman who had lost her innocence. She collapsed on the ground and cried, "Clothes? Do clothes matter now? It's my innocence! My innocence!"
Outside the door, hearing the word "innocent", everyone couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
"It's pitiful. A man was forced to speak out his innocence, and it seems that he was treated inhumanely."
The matter ends here, and the suspicion on Li Kailang ends temporarily.
Old Qiao explained the cause of the matter to everyone in the courtyard, "Comrade Li was implicated in an important case a few days ago, and we are here to question him."
"The matter has been dealt with now. Comrade Li Kailang is innocent. Please don't spread rumors. Otherwise, he will react and we will arrest whoever spreads rumors."
After a brief explanation, Mr. Qiao told Li Kailang not to say anything nonsense before leaving, and just said that he was involved innocently.
Li Kailang survived this test narrowly and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Commander Qiao, we really should let Li Kailang go. This guy was the target of investigation in the last case." said a soldier.
Old Qiao said unhappily, "Wasn't he a suspect in the last case? It has nothing to do with us, but there are no gunshot wounds on this kid now."
"Have you ever seen someone get shot and bleed and recover in a day? You also touched his body and there was no covered area. It was real flesh."
The soldier couldn't help but nod his head. There was really no one in this world who could recover from a gunshot wound in one day and hide the bullet marks.
Old Qiao said, "It seems that this guy is not the one. Let's continue investigating. We must get to the bottom of it no matter what."
"Yes!" the soldier shouted.
Old Qiao thought to himself, "It seems that this person was placed here randomly, not someone close to me."
"Xiao Li, are you really okay?" asked the third aunt. She was mainly worried about herself.
Li Kailang waved his hand casually: "It's okay, it's okay! Can't you see I'm fine? They have explained it clearly."
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I still need to eat. I'm starving."
Fortunately, the third aunt didn't say anything, leaving Li Kailang enough time to recover, otherwise he would have been exposed.
"What a pity that this guy wasn't taken away and shot." Jia Zhang said regretfully.
