Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Xue Li suddenly remembered the comments she had seen when watching TV dramas in her previous life. The police would always ask who can testify for you. "Well, we all live alone. It snowed heavily yesterday. We all slept in our rooms. We are single young women. Is there anyone who can testify for us..."

The policeman who was questioning him thought so too. However, the process of their questioning was similar. He asked some questions about the victims of theft in the village, such as whether they had any grudges against anyone or whether there were any strangers in the village recently. Another example was whether they had mentioned that someone's family was rich.

Jiang Yu shook his head calmly, "There are quite a lot of people in the construction team. Although they are divided into five small teams, there are too many faces coming and going. We can't recognize them all, so we can't be sure who the strangers are."

There are more than ten people in the First Brigade alone who live in seclusion. Zhuang Shouren's parents seldom go out. There are two widows in the village who don't work and don't often go out, so there is nothing wrong with Jiang Yu's answer.

After the two policemen finished taking the statements, they asked them to sign and then went to other educated youth's rooms.

Xue Li watched them walk into Li Fenfang's room, but it was Luo Chengli who opened the door.

"That girl Luo Xinci will definitely go crazy again when she sees this." Xue Li felt that if Luo Xinci saw this scene, she would be furious and would want to tear Li Fenfang apart with her bare hands.

Jiang Yu laughed and asked her to close the door. He leaned back on the big quilt, thinking about going to the next two teams to continue committing crimes.

Although the main participants in the Yi family's misfortune basically lived in the first team, there were also people from other teams involved. Anyway, they have already started robbing ill-gotten gains, so let's go and see if other families have any illegal income.

Of course, Jiang Yu didn't mean to catch them all in one fell swoop, otherwise the direction would be too obvious. She mainly targeted those wealthy families that the villagers were more taboo about. Ordinary people would occasionally show some unnatural reactions when mentioning them. Although no one knew what the story was behind it, at least Jiang Yu didn't have so many scruples when she took action.

Originally they were all laborers of the Yi family. Suddenly one day they became rich with the help of their master's money and enjoyed a wonderful life that did not belong to them for more than ten years. Now they just think of it as going back to the time before liberation. I think they will get used to it in a few days.

In order to take statements and collect evidence, a total of six police officers came, and that night they all stayed in the homes of those who had the more spacious houses in the village.

Jiang Yu still went to sleep according to his usual schedule until late at night when everything was quiet.

At the same time as yesterday, she put on her clothes and left the educated youth site.

During the day, the militia company organized a patrol team at the suggestion of Zhuang Shouren, but at this point those people were all drowsy in the brigade headquarters, trying their best to fight the sleepiness, and it was impossible for them to notice any unusual movements at the end of the village.

Jiang Yu came out of the mountain, using tree branches to hurry on his way, and soon approached the second team. He went to two houses in the upper and middle parts of the village, and using the same method as yesterday, he quickly entered the houses, swept them, and left leisurely and leisurely.

In the third, fourth and fifth teams, Jiang Yu visited a total of seven wealthy families, took away their money and food, and returned to the educated youth site in the snow.

She pretended to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, shook off all the snowflakes on her body, and then trotted back to the house.

In this way, even if there is someone watching you inside the educated youth site, you won't think too much about it.

The next morning, shouting and cursing could be heard from afar, and the policeman living in the village rushed to the scene as soon as possible.

"Arrogant! Too arrogant!! He totally disregards the law!" A middle-aged man with a big belly who seemed to be the leader was red-faced and waving his fists, jumping like thunder in the snow, "This is a provocation to our public security department! Is he trying to declare war on us? He actually committed the crime in defiance of the law, knowing that we were searching nearby, and he still dared to do it so boldly! XXX, you must catch this thief for me! Severe punishment! He must be severely punished!"

The police officer who was named immediately expressed his determination and guaranteed to complete the task.

A new round of recording began.

Jiang Yu and Xue Li did not stay together today. They were both questioned alone in the room.

Jiang Yu sat cross-legged on the kang. The other party's questioning process was the same as yesterday, and Jiang Yu's answers were also almost the same as yesterday, with no differences.

"Did you leave your room last night?" That was the only difference from yesterday.

"I ate too much salt last night and drank two large glasses of water, so I went to the toilet at night."

“How long did it take?”

"It should only be a few minutes. It was too cold, so I put on a cotton jacket and went back to my room immediately."

After completing the record, Jiang Yu signed and put his fingerprints on it as usual.

The policeman took a look at the radio on her cabinet and reminded her, "That thief only targets wealthy families. You have a bicycle and a radio here, so you should be careful."

Jiang Yu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll hide later. I'll also lock the doors and windows when I go to bed at night."

"Okay. OK then. Thank you for your cooperation." The policeman stood up and left.

After Jiang Yu sent them out, he locked the door and started to make the bed. He thought he might as well take a nap since he had nothing to do anyway.

Xue Li came and knocked on the door during dinner time. She brought a small casserole with a lid, pushed aside the ginger fish and entered the house, then went straight to the kang. "Hurry up, I made Maoxuewang! A simple version. Do you have any steamed buns? Let's have something spicy to warm us up!" She deliberately skimmed the oil in her own place for a long time before bringing it over.

Ginger Fish just happened to have steamed cornmeal buns, but it would take a while before we could eat them.

"I also warmed up a few potatoes. Do you want to eat them?" Jiang Yu scraped the pile of ashes in the corner of the stove and carefully picked out the potatoes that had turned into charcoal.

"Eat!" Potatoes taste better when they are warm! Xue Li moved his butt, adjusted his sitting position, and placed his hands on the table, looking like he was ready to eat.

Jiang Yu put the potatoes on a plate, took two sets of bowls and chopsticks and went to the kang.

The two of them raised their blackened paws and ate a bite of potato and a bite of Maoxuewang rice. The spiciness made their noses sweat, and they ate while snorting.

For this dinner, Xue Li ate two potatoes and a steamed bun, while Jiang Yu took the remaining potatoes and ate three large steamed buns.

"You have such a big appetite, but come to think of it, you haven't gained any weight at all! Where did all that food go?" Xue Li glared at her angrily, looking her up and down. This girl really has a model's figure, flat and thin like a bamboo pole. How could she not gain any weight after working in the countryside for half a year?

What can Jiang Yu say? The energy she took in was basically used by the residual effects of the medicine to improve her body, so it was normal for her not to gain weight. "Maybe it was consumed by working normally."

Xue Li groaned, "I worked too. I cut two baskets of pig grass a day and took the children to exercise!"

"How can that be more work than what I do?" Jiang Yu poured a glass of water and handed it to her. "You ate too much salt today. I hope you won't have to go to the toilet at night. You'll freeze to death."
