Chapter 706 Jia Dongming’s promise!
When Xie Jianchang heard Jia Dongming's promise, an incredible expression suddenly appeared on his face. He quickly confirmed with Jia Dongming: "Comrade Public Security! Are you serious? If the clues I provided are really useful, will you really help me find a temporary job in the factory?"
When Jia Dongming heard Xie Jianchang's question and saw the surprised expression on his face, he answered with certainty: "Xie Jianchang! Men in Beijing are very firm in their words. If your clues are really useful, I will fulfill my promise."
"Also, my name is Jia Dongming. I am the captain of the Second Brigade of the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Sijiucheng Public Security Bureau. I am also the director of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Once this case is solved, you can come to the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to find me at any time to fulfill my promise."
After hearing Jia Dongming's promise, Xie Jianchang was overjoyed and thanked Jia Dongming: "Captain Jia! Thank you! Thank you!"
When Jia Dongming heard Xie Jianchang's thanks, he suddenly remembered that Xie Jianchang had just said that he met the woman named Sister Yu when he was eating outside, so he asked Xie Jianchang: "Comrade Xie Jianchang! Just now you said that you met the woman named Sister Yu when you were eating outside at a restaurant. Which restaurant did you meet her in? Was she eating alone or with other people?"
When Xie Jianchang heard Jia Dongming asking about the scene when they met Sister Yu in the restaurant, he immediately recalled it carefully in his mind for a moment, and then introduced her to Jia Dongming: "Captain Jia! After work that day, we got together to play a few poker games, and Chen Jian won, so he invited me to have a drink at the Friendship Restaurant, which is not far from the black market."
"When we met Sister Yu, she was carrying a net bag with three lunch boxes in it. She packed up several dishes at the counter and left the restaurant. Chen Jian saw Sister Yu when she was about to leave and said hello to her."
"I saw Chen Jian being so respectful to Sister Yu, which made me very curious, because I had known him for such a long time, and I had never seen Chen Jian being so respectful to a woman, so I asked Chen Jian about Sister Yu's identity, but Chen Jian told me not to ask about things that I shouldn't ask about."
"I have known Chen Jian for so many years, and I know that when Chen Jian gets drunk, he will easily talk nonsense. Because of curiosity, I tried my best to trick Chen Jian into drinking. It was not until Chen Jian got drunk that I learned from him that Sister Yu was Gui Laoqi's lover and worked at the grain station."
Perhaps because of Jia Dongming's promise, when Xie Jianchang introduced Sister Yu to Jia Dongming, he described every detail of what happened when he met Sister Yu.
When Jia Dongming heard what Xie Jianchang said, he immediately realized that the woman called Sister Yu should live near the Friendship Restaurant and be a frequent customer of the Friendship Restaurant, otherwise she would not have gone to the Friendship Restaurant specifically to pack up food to take home to improve her diet.
Jia Dongming's intuition told him that Ghost Old Seven was probably hiding in Sister Yu's house. As long as they found out Sister Yu's identity, they could follow the clues and bring Ghost Old Seven to justice. With this thought in mind, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Xie Jianchang, "Comrade Xie Jianchang! No matter who asks you about what we came to you today, you must not reveal a single word. After we catch Ghost Old Seven, I will fulfill this promise as soon as possible."
After hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, Xie Jianchang thought that he would soon be able to get a decent job, and excitedly assured Jia Dongming: "Captain Jia! Don't worry, if anyone comes to me to ask why you came to my house today, I will say that you came to me to find out about Zhang Hu."
Jia Dongming nodded with satisfaction after hearing Xie Jianchang's promise, patted Xie Jianchang on the shoulder, and then led everyone to the door of Xie Jianchang's house. Xie's mother looked at the backs of Jia Dongming and others leaving, and her heart, which had been hanging high, finally let go completely. She hurried back to the house, stretched out her hand to grab Xie Jianchang's ear, and scolded Xie Jianchang with dissatisfaction: "You bastard, tell me the truth, what trouble did you cause outside? Even the police came to our door."
Xie Jianchang, who was looking forward to having a job soon, heard his mother's scolding and felt the stinging pain in his ears. He begged for mercy: "Mom! Mom! My ears are going to break, please let go."
Xie's mother loved her oldest son Xie Jianchang very much. When she heard Xie Jianchang say his ears were about to break, she instinctively let go of her hand and complained to him, "Youngest! Your damn father passed away early. I have worked very hard to raise you four siblings over the years. Now I hope you can be successful and find a wife soon to continue the Xie family's incense."
"Look at you, you are idle all day long, doing nothing, and have become a street urchin. Every time I go to the matchmaker to arrange a marriage for you, the matchmaker hides away when she sees me. If you continue like this, how can I explain to the ancestors of the Xie family in the future?"
When Xie Jianchang heard his mother's complaints and saw that she started crying while talking, he couldn't help but think of Zhang Hu's murder. At the same time, he also realized that if he continued to mess around like this, he might end up like Zhang Hu one day.
Thinking of the bad things he had done over the years, Xie Jianchang showed a guilty expression on his face. He hugged his mother's shoulders and said to her guiltily, "Mom! Believe me, I really didn't do anything wrong this time. The police came to our house mainly to find me to understand some things. If I really did do something wrong, why didn't the police take me away?"
When Jia Dongming and others left, Xie's mother already knew that Xie Jianchang had done nothing wrong. The reason why she punished Xie Jianchang was that she hoped Xie Jianchang would mend his ways and stop hanging out outside doing nothing all day.
After hearing Xie Jianchang's answer, Mother Xie wiped the tears from her face with the corner of her sleeve and said to Xie Jianchang, "Youngest! Mom knows that you work in the black market for the sake of our family, but working in the black market is not a legitimate job after all. Can you promise Mom that you will never work in the black market again?"
When Xie Jianchang heard the request made by Xie's mother, he remembered Jia Dongming's promise and quickly said to Xie's mother, "Mom! The police came to our house just now to find me for some information. Captain Jia, the leader of the team, promised me that if the clues I provided today were valuable, he would help me arrange a temporary job in the factory."
When Xie's mother heard what Xie Jianchang told her, she immediately showed an incredible expression on her face, and hurriedly asked Xie Jianchang, "Youngest! Is what you said true? Will the police really arrange a temporary job for you in the factory?"
When Xie Jianchang heard his mother's question, he nodded affirmatively and said to her with a smile, "Mom! He is a big leader of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. How could he fool a small person like me?"
