Chapter 1712 The Reason for Wang Haitao Killing His Father?
Before going to work, all six members of the Zhao family gang arrived. Wang Qiang, Zhang Yuanmin, Li Baoyu, Xie Chen, and Li Ruhai were going to work, while Zhao Jinhui was bored at home and came along to join in the fun.
Seeing the group of people all dressed in work uniforms, Zhao Jinhui approached Zhao Jun and asked, "Brother Jun, could you arrange a job for me too?"
"Hehe..." Zhao Jun chuckled upon hearing this and asked in return, "Jin Hui, you're working here, so you're not going back?"
Faced with Zhao Jun's question, Zhao Jinhui fell silent. Just then, Li Ruhai laughed and said, "My brother Hui can't stay."
As soon as Li Ruhai said this, everyone looked at him. Li Ruhai said, "My brother Hui has a lover back in our hometown, whose name is Cui'er."
"Go to hell!" Zhao Jinhui shoved Li Ruhai, making him stumble, and shouted angrily, "What lover? They're childhood sweethearts!"
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Zhao Jinhui slapped Li Ruhai again and said, "Besides, her name is Cuiying!"
"Cuiying, Cuiying." Li Ruhai responded perfunctorily, then suddenly felt a weight on his body as Zhao Jinhui pressed him down.
"Huh?" Li Ruhai exclaimed in surprise, only to hear Zhao Jinhui roar, "If you don't tell me, I'll finish telling you, and you still won't tell me?"
Recently, Zhao Jinhui has been staying at the Zhao family's old house and has become very close to Li Baoyu and Li Ruhai in the west courtyard.
"Haha..." The laughter grew louder, and everyone had the same thought in their minds: You actually believe that?
After the laughter and commotion subsided, Zhao Jun and his group of eight left their house and went outside into the yard, where they boarded a jeep and a Jiefang truck.
They left home early and arrived at the forest farm twenty minutes earlier than the commuter bus.
Zhao Jun did not allow the car to be driven into the forest farm, but instead parked it outside the woods 300 meters away from the forest farm.
Then, the eight people got out of the car and walked into the forest farm.
They did this to avoid gossip. Taking the commuter train to the forest farm was faster and more convenient than driving themselves.
If people see Zhao Jun and his group driving to the forest farm, they'll definitely say that the Zhao family is rich and can act all high and mighty, that they have a shuttle bus but don't take it and insist on driving themselves, etc.
Zhao Jun and his group drove here to wait until things at the farm were settled before heading to Xinlengchang.
Today is Saturday, and tomorrow is Sunday, the day the Xie family will go to the Zheng family to arrange the marriage. As the eldest brother, Xie Zhong must be present.
Of course, if it's just picking up Jie Zhong, Jie Chen can drive there himself. Zhao Jun and the others are going for another important reason: to select a site near Xinlengchang according to the plan. They'll fence off a pig farm and feed the wild boars with the recipe left by Wang Daba Zhang, along with pig feed.
As soon as Zhao Jun and his group entered the forest farm gate, Li Ruhai went to the mailroom as usual. On the way to the office building, Zhao Youcai quietly pulled Zhao Jun aside, and the father and son walked behind.
When Zhao Jun looked at Zhao Youcai, he saw Zhao Youcai take out two packs of Yingchun cigarettes from his pocket and hand them over.
"What are you doing, Dad?" Zhao Jun subconsciously took the cigarette, then jokingly asked Zhao Youcai, "You want me to do you a favor?"
"Get out of here!" Zhao Youcai winked at Zhao Jun, then pointed and said, "Once everyone in the group has arrived, open this pack of cigarettes, throw it on the table, and let them all take it and smoke it!"
"Oh!" Zhao Jun laughed as he put the cigarette in his pocket, saying, "Why is my dad being so generous today?"
"Get lost!" Zhao Youcai cursed Zhao Jun again, then added, "You're a minor leader, yet you're always absent. You should at least protect and support the people in your own group."
Zhao Youcai said this, and Zhao Jun laughed. At this moment, Zhao Jun had two packs of cigarettes in his left pocket and two packs of cigarettes in his right pocket.
Both are for welcoming spring; the one on the left was brought by Zhao Jun himself, and the one on the right was given by Zhao Youcai.
Zhao Jun had lived two lives, and he understood everything Zhao Youcai was saying. But since he understood human relationships, he wouldn't ruin this rare moment of warmth between father and son.
"Okay, Dad, I understand." Zhao Jun smiled at Zhao Youcai and said, "I'll do whatever you tell me to do."
Hearing Zhao Jun say this, Zhao Youcai nodded slightly. Then, Zhao Youcai remembered something and instructed Zhao Jun, "In the future, don't be so lenient. Give Yingchun what you can give her, don't always give away Shilin."
At this point, fearing that Zhao Jun might not take it seriously, Zhao Youcai added, "In this forest area, how many people can pull up the stone forest?"
"Yes, yes," Zhao Jun replied repeatedly. Seeing that Zhao Jun had taken his advice, Zhao Youcai quickly added, "Now that you're married, you need to know how to manage a household. When your mother is being wasteful again, you should talk to her and tell her not to always go along with her. What did your Uncle Li say before dinner yesterday?"
As he spoke, Zhao Youcai raised his hand and gestured to Zhao Jun, saying, "Making money is like picking up soil with a needle, and spending money is like washing away sand with water. You have to know how to manage your money, understand?"
Both were lectures, but Zhao Youcai taught him how to maintain good relationships with colleagues in the first half. Although Zhao Jun already understood this, he still felt good listening to Zhao Youcai.
Later on, Zhao Youcai taught Zhao Jun to be frugal and even made snide remarks to Wang Meilan, which made Zhao Jun feel uncomfortable no matter what he said.
Seeing that Zhao Youcai was still talking non-stop, Zhao Jun interrupted him and said, "Dad, I know. Um... if you ask me, don't just throw the cigarettes on the table later."
"Huh?" Zhao Youcai was taken aback, then heard Zhao Jun continue, "So you've gone all out of cigarettes. I'll just give each of them one, and then I'll get the rest back for you."
"Go to hell!" Zhao Youcai reacted instantly and immediately hissed, "You little brat, you don't know what's good for you, you're nothing..."
Zhao Youcai cursed, and seeing Zhao Jun chuckle, he became even angrier. But since they were in the arena and there were other people around, Zhao Youcai couldn't lay a hand on Zhao Jun; he could only glare at Zhao Jun fiercely.
When Zhao Jun and his team entered the security area, the shuttle bus hadn't arrived yet. But Liu Jinyong had been on night shift the previous day, and he was currently yawning in the office with two other security guards.
Upon seeing Zhao Jun and his group arrive, Liu Jinyong quickly stood up and greeted Zhao Youcai first.
"Here you are, Team Leader Liu." Zhao Youcai took out half a box of grapes from his pocket and handed it to Liu Jinyong, the two security guards, Li Baoyu, and others.
This grape tobacco is the most common type of tobacco in the forest farm, but Zhao Youcai hasn't smoked it in a long time. This half-pack of grapes he's getting today was something he asked Wang Qiang for.
Neither the head nor the deputy head of the security team had a private office; the entire team shared one. This office was like a small conference room, with plenty of tables and chairs.
Everyone took their seats, and Zhao Jun first said to Liu Jinyong: "Team leader, after we caught Wang Haitao that day, I went to the police station to give a statement and so on. I always said that this was the result of the collective efforts of all the security guards in our security team."
That same day, when Director Chen called, I told him the same thing: "Regarding the Yonghu incident, our Director Yan and Team Leader Liu have worked incredibly hard, and we colleagues have been busy for days, going up the mountain and searching the forest."
The arrest of Wang Haitao had nothing to do with the security team, but ever since Wang Jiusheng was killed, the entire security team has been in turmoil. Now that Zhao Jun himself has been commended, he's worried that there might be some petty people in the team.
"Oh!" Liu Jinyong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Zhao Jun, you don't need to be modest. Your credit is yours."
At this point, Liu Jinyong paused slightly, took a puff of his cigarette, and continued, "To tell you the truth, I'd be incredibly grateful if we could catch this guy."
After saying this, Liu Jinyong looked at Zhao Youcai and said with a wry smile, "We're already exhausted from being security guards, and now we have to catch murderers too, oh my god!"
As soon as Liu Jinyong finished speaking, Zhou Daikui said, "That's right, it's a good thing that Zhao Jun was caught. Otherwise, I heard that if we hadn't caught him, we would have had to organize a search of the mountains."
Zhou Daikui was from Yong'an Village and was of the same generation as Zhao Youcai. It was perfectly normal for the villagers to call him Zhao Jun.
Zhou Daikui's words were to tell Zhao Jun that the team did not have much of an opinion about him being commended.
Zhao Jun understood Zhou Daikui's implied meaning, but even so, he did not let his guard down, thinking that he should take the opportunity to protect these colleagues.
As commuter buses arrived at the forest farm one after another, more and more security guards came to work.
When all the guards from the four villages had arrived, Zhao Jun took out a pack of Yingchun cigarettes from his pocket. Since it wasn't a pack for each person, Zhao Jun didn't say anything, simply tore open the packaging, and scattered the cigarettes on the table for everyone to smoke.
When twenty-odd people smoke together, the room becomes a den of demons.
Of all the people in the room, Zhao Jun was the only one who didn't smoke. He felt it was unfair that he was inhaling secondhand smoke, so he went out for a walk under the pretext of going to the bathroom.
When Zhao Jun returned, he encountered Li Ruhai running towards the office building.
"What are you doing, Ru Hai?" Zhao Jun glanced behind Li Ru Hai and asked, "Who chased you away?"
"Brother, what are you looking at?" Li Ruhai asked Zhao Jun, "The police have already come, why are you still wandering around outside?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jun looked up. Sure enough, the jeep of the local police station was parked not far away.
Zhao Jun hurried inside, and Zhou Chunming entered just two minutes after he entered the security team.
Accompanying Zhou Chunming were Yan Shugang, Zhou Jianjun, and Chen Weiyi and Yang Jinbao from the local police station.
In front of the leaders present, Chen Weiyi expressed his gratitude to Zhao Jun and handed him a letter of thanks from the county public security bureau to Yong'an Forest Farm, as well as a letter of commendation for Zhao Jun personally.
After Zhao Jun received the letter, he saw Zhou Chunming reaching out his hand to him, so he quickly handed the letter over.
After receiving the letter of commendation, Zhou Chunming handed it to Zhou Jianjun along with a letter of thanks, saying, "Take this to the broadcasting station and have the announcer read these two along with the commendation speech."
Since Zhou Chunming had no one to run errands for him when his secretary was sent abroad, he simply used his son as his secretary.
"Your security team has been working hard lately," Zhou Chunming said to the security guards present. "The company has given all of us security guards a bonus. When we get paid this month, I think we should all take a look at our pay slips."
Zhou Chunming didn't mention the amount, which proves the bonus wasn't much—at most five yuan. But the forest farm is a business, and salaries aren't very high. These security guards, with their monthly salary plus subsidies and bonuses, even the most well-off like Liu Jinyong, only earn about 110 yuan. Five yuan more could at least improve their meals a few times, or buy clothes for their children.
Therefore, the simple and honest security guards responded to Zhou Chunming with enthusiastic applause.
Zhou Chunming smiled and nodded to everyone, then secretly winked at Zhao Jun, who nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
After Zhou Chunming and Yan Shugang left, Chen Weiyi and Yang Jinbao stayed behind for the time being.
Liu Jinyong asked them to sit down, and a security guard brought them water. Chen Weiyi solemnly thanked Zhao Jun and the entire security team.
During the investigation, the forestry security team helped them a lot, even lending them the forestry jeep and the security team's sidecar.
Then, Chen Weiyi took his leave, and Zhao Jun and Liu Jinyong saw him and Yang Jinbao off from the office building.
At that moment, the loudspeaker in the yard was broadcasting praise for Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun didn't listen carefully, but before Chen Weiyi got into the car, he stopped him and asked, "Chief Chen, how's the interrogation of Wang Haitao going? Why did he kill his father?"
Zhao Jun was very curious about this question. Moreover, Zhao Jun believed that Wang Haitao's killing of his father was an impulsive act.
After taking lives, Wang Haitao, in a fit of desperation or perhaps wanting to make arrangements for his wife and children, killed Xu Changming and Song Laowai. Then, to cover up his crimes, he killed his sister-in-law's husband, Hu the Cripple, and Old Duan, the man who ran a shed.
Zhao Jun wasn't familiar with Wang Jiusheng in his previous life either, but in his past life, the only murder case in the Yong'an Forest Area was the massacre of the Bai family. Wang Haitao didn't kill his father then, so why did he kill him in this life?
Zhao Jun was quite curious about this question.
"Oh dear!" Chen Weiyi sighed softly when Zhao Jun asked him that question.
Hearing Chen Weiyi sigh, Zhao Jun laughed and said, "Director Chen, you can't ask that... right?"
"No." Chen Weiyi smiled and asked Zhao Jun in return, "Team Leader Zhao, there's someone named Zhao Hong, isn't that your sister?"
"Huh?" Zhao Jun was stunned. He was a little confused and didn't know how this matter involved his younger sister. After the New Year, Zhao Hong would only be eight years old (by Chinese reckoning). What could this have to do with an eight-year-old child?
“That’s my second younger sister.” Zhao Jun asked Chen Weiyi directly, “My second younger sister is only in first grade, what does this have to do with her?”
Chen Weiyi smiled, not answering Zhao Jun's question, but instead asking, "There's also a child named Li Xiaoqiao, who is she to you?"
Hearing Chen Weiyi's words, Zhao Jun fell silent. Li Xiaoqiao and Zhao Na were in the same school and the same class, right? Could it be... that they were bullying Wang Haitao's child?
But then Zhao Jun thought again, something didn't seem right. There was only one middle school in the Yong'an Forest Area, but two primary schools.
Yongan No. 1 Primary School is located between Yongan Village and Yongsheng Village, while Yongan No. 2 Primary School is located between Yongfu Village and Yongli Village.
Wang Haitao's family lives in Yonglitun, and even if his children go to school, they'll attend the Second Primary School. Zhao Hong and Li Xiaoqiao, on the other hand, attend the First Primary School. Even if his younger sister is more capable, it's not like he should bully others across school districts.
"Ah!" Upon thinking of this, Zhao Jun replied to Chen Weiyi, "That's Baoyu's younger sister. Baoyu is the little brother I was leading in front of the shack in front of the Seventh Class in the north that day."
"Ah, that tall guy." Chen Weiyi nodded to indicate that he understood, and then Chen Weiyi added, "Wang Haitao's wife cleans at Yong'an No. 1 Primary School and also heats up lunch for the children who bring their own food. His child also attends the school."
Hearing Chen Weiyi's words, Zhao Jun blinked and remained silent, wondering if his sister had really bullied someone. But that couldn't be right; the girl's mother worked at the school. Who would bully their child?
