Chapter 201: The First Time Being Invited to Have Tea
Qiu Huoming succeeded in talking to death.
The scenery outside the window was slightly different from when we came here, and everyone's mood changed. Except for the three people who were admitted, they were still very excited. The rest of the people, even if counselor Huang was enlightening them, were not happy.
Ten minutes after the car drove out, He Caixia turned to look at Qiu Huoming and suddenly asked: "Are you all members of the 'English Corner' club?"
Qiu Huoming is ashamed, when did the 'English Corner' become a club?
"Yes!" Zhang Song answered: "I go every period. You can see that I performed very well this time. It's all because I trained myself there before..."
"Then...can I go?" she asked.
"welcome……"
Later, other students also inquired about it. The members admitted this time were all members of the 'English Corner' club. This immediately made the 'English Corner' famous.
"If you want to participate, just go there. Now everyone goes voluntarily. There is no need to join a club. There is no club established yet..." Qiu Huoming listened to everyone's chatter and explained quickly.
Counselor Huang was relieved when he saw that everyone's mood had eased.
"I would like to suggest that since the English Corner is so popular, why don't we find a place at a fixed time and at a fixed location, preferably indoors, where it can be protected from the wind and rain, and I will be responsible for publicity. If it is still at the gymnasium, we might as well put up a sign. , I will make this brand.”
The person who said this was An Weiwen, a sophomore majoring in mechanics.
Qiu Huo Ming said happily: "That's the best, just leave it where it is. Many people know that location. It's more suitable outdoors. It's a bit windy and rainy. It's not too cold in Yangcheng. It's not too cold to speak English under an umbrella." No, indoors is more or less like a classroom, and the atmosphere is a bit depressing..."
Zhao Jiamin agreed: "Yes, everyone is in the classroom all day long, and occasionally outdoors, they feel better..."
Everyone was chatting, and before we knew it, the car finally drove back to school.
This time is the lunch break.
Qiu Huoming returned to the dormitory. Yang Shijun and Wen Yuanyi were sleeping. Chen Xi was sitting on a chair reading a book. When he looked up and saw Qiu Huoming pushing the door in, he immediately asked: "Monitor, have you passed the exam?"
"I passed the exam. Today is a mock conversation, which is quite interesting..."
"Wow, the squad leader is so excited for a treat that night."
"I'm sorry...I'll treat you to dinner tonight." Qiu Huoming agreed.
"Hahaha, then I feel balanced." Chen Xi smiled and said: "When the Canton Fair is held, I will also go and have a look, but I heard that it is difficult to get in..."
"I'll ask later. The units participating in the exhibition have all been decided. I think they will definitely need manpower by then. If you want to do work-study, you can try it during this period..."
Yang Shijun suddenly sat up from the bed, "Me! I can, I have a lot of strength, and I can also help those people carry things..."
"Then I'll go with you. I'm still strong." Chen Xi said.
Wen Yuanyi also got up, "Hey, monitor, tell us, how was the assessment today?"
Qiu Huoming coughed, pulled away the chair and sat down, "Speaking of which, it's early in the morning..."
He is good at telling stories and made this assessment full of ups and downs, lively and interesting.
-
As expected, An Weiwen acted vigorously and resolutely. That night, the 'English Corner' sign was erected, and at the same time, promotional papers about the 'English Corner' were also posted on the school's publicity wall.
When Qiu Huoming rushed over, the 'English Corner' was already crowded.
Because it is stipulated that you must speak English when you come here, so there was no noisy phenomenon, and everyone tried hard to express themselves in English.
Zhao Jiamin was still accompanying Qiu Huoming, and their conversation attracted some people to watch. Some people even took out their notebooks and recorded them on the spot.
When he was free, Qiu Huoming looked around and realized that the climate here was now getting better.
He is somewhat proud.
The next morning, as soon as Qiu Huoming arrived in the classroom, he saw comrades from the school's security department walking in, "Qiu Huoming, come out with us."
Qiu Huoming didn't take it seriously and followed them directly to the security department, only to find that there were two big blocks sitting inside.
"Someone reported you for participating in the sale of smuggled electrical appliances..."
"How is that possible? It's a mistake." Qiu Huoming was confused.
The other party looked at Qiu Huoming's clothes and the watch in his hand, and suddenly asked: "How much did the watch cost?"
"It's a gift from the elders." Qiu Huoming answered truthfully.
"As far as I know, your school starts registration for new students on September 9nd. I heard that you came to Yangcheng on August 2th?"
Qiu Huoming felt uneasy. It seemed that the other party had carefully checked his whereabouts. "Yes, I came early. I went back to school directly after getting off the train."
The two big blocks looked at each other.
"In this case, you come with us..."
"Where?"
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't be asked." Big Cap stood up and said to the comrades in the security department: "I will take him to assist in the investigation."
After learning the news, Teacher Xu hurried over from the office.
I happened to see a group of them walking out in the corridor.
"Comrade, he is my student? You must have misunderstood. He has always been in school..."
Big Cap smiled and said, "Can you guarantee that he will always be in school?"
"Look, you can't guarantee it. We just ask him to assist in the investigation. Once the matter is figured out, we will let him go."
Teacher Xu was asked to step aside and watched helplessly as Qiu Huoming was taken to the car.
It was the first time in Qiu Huoming's life that he was riding in this kind of official car, and he felt as if he was in a trance.
He suddenly stuck his head out and shouted to Teacher Xu: "Help me find Zhao Jiamin, a freshman in the Department of Architecture, and ask him to find Uncle Xu..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Big Block rolled up the car window and stopped him from speaking.
Teacher Xu stamped his foot. He had close contact with Qiu Huoming and didn't believe that he would do this at all. At the beginning, he asked himself whether he could start a small business. People who really did this would not raise this question.
Besides, he had only been in Yangcheng for a few days, and he already got involved with those lawless elements? It’s incredible no matter how you think about it.
This official car was too obvious, and it was time to go to school. There were many witnesses, and it didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the campus.
Qiu Huoming was taken to a compound under the Industrial and Commercial Bureau in a car. After getting off the car, he entered an office. It didn't look like an interrogation room. It seemed that the problem was not serious enough to require interrogation.
A civilian from the other side came in, poured him a glass of water, and then left him there to dry.
Qiu Huoming sat on a chair and tried his best to recall what happened in 1982. The original owner didn't pay much attention to the news, and many memories passed by in a flash, but he had been paying attention to the news during the time he came here, and combined with the future Those things that happened.
Qiu Huoming closed his eyes and sorted out his thoughts bit by bit. When he opened his eyes, pieces of news appeared in his mind.
At the beginning of this year, several leaders were called to the capital for interviews...
In May this year, many ships were intercepted at sea...
In August, many people were involved in this incident across the province.
It is now early October, and this trend should still be continuing. I have never participated in it at all, so someone must be trying to get him.
Not long after, a stern-looking man in his 30s came in. He pulled a chair and sat opposite him. He tapped the table with his fingers and said, "My name is Tan Shulin, and I'm the person in charge of your case. Now I ask questions, and you answer them. Answer honestly and strive for leniency..."
He took out a notebook and put it on the table, took off the cap of the pen and started recording.
"Name."
"Autumn fire is bright."
"age……"
He asked for basic information, and Qiu Huoming answered honestly.
"Where were you on the afternoon of August 8th?"
"At school, I went to the claypot restaurant in front of the school for lunch, then went to the street next to it to buy daily necessities, and then returned to school..." Qiu Huoming replied.
"Where were you on August 8? What did you do?"
"Please tell me the itinerary for the 29th, 30th and 31st in detail..."
Qiu Huoming answered 1510. Although there is no Skynet yet, his whereabouts can be traced, and if you are careful, you can find witnesses.
Tan Shulin closed his notebook and asked, "I heard that in your itinerary these days, there is a classmate named Zhou Haifu. Do you have close contact with him?"
"He lives right across from my dormitory. I just arrived at the school and I'm not familiar with it. It's a holiday and there's no one in the dormitory. He often comes over and invites me to eat in the cafeteria. Other than that, we don't have much contact with each other..." Qiu Huoming explained.
He vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this person's question about Zhou Haifu.
"Think again, answer honestly, and be strict if you resist..."
"What I said is the truth. I didn't exaggerate at all." Qiu Huoming originally had a good memory, but now the other party's questioning made him remember every dish he had eaten in the cafeteria those days...
The other party glared at him, suddenly stood up, took the notebook and went out.
Qiu Huoming froze on the spot, and his mind suddenly thought of the movie "Passengers in Handcuffs" he had watched before. He probably didn't carry it like this.
Zhou Haifu hasn't seen anyone recently, and all he heard were gossips from people in their dormitory. What if he was actually imprisoned?
Or, is this person falsely accusing himself in order to avenge his crime? But why would he frame himself?
Qiu Huoming rubbed his eyebrows, wondering who he had provoked. He silently read the name of the staff member just now, Tan Shulin... surnamed Tan? Is he a relative of Tan Jialiang?
If there is no evidence, he will be locked up for a few days at most before he can go out. He must hold on. He closed his eyes and connected all the recent events in his mind...
The truth of the matter is nothing more than this. Either the person named Zhou or the person named Tan is causing trouble.
He simply stood up. There was a window in this room. It was very narrow, single-leaf, with stained glass. It could not see the outdoors. The light was dim. There must be a lot of trees nearby.
Qiu Huoming turned around and returned to the same place.
He glanced at his watch. It was already a quarter past ten in the morning.
He was worried that even if he was let out, today's incident would definitely have a very bad impact. Rumors were spread from one person to another, and he couldn't explain it clearly with a hundred mouths. If this was Tan Jialiang's initiative, Then this trick is definitely useful in this era.
This feud has become serious. No matter who the opponent is, he has no bottom line and does not act according to common sense... Qiu Huoming's eyes gradually turned cold.
At noon, someone brought two barbecued pork buns. The treatment was quite humane. Qiu Huoming ate it in several bites. Maintaining his strength was the most important thing at the moment. Who knew what would be waiting for him later.
In the afternoon, he was moved to the real interrogation room.
At the same time, his hands were handcuffed, and the matter became serious.
Qiu Huoming's heart tightened, "Comrade, I was wronged. There are witnesses for the itinerary I just mentioned..."
The other party smiled and said, "Which person who comes in doesn't say that he is unjustly accused? Just sit back and wait for the trial, and you will find out whether you are guilty or not."
The door closed with a click.
The light in the room was very dark. He sat on the interrogation chair and listened carefully to the movements around him. The soundproofing here was very good, and he could only hear his "beating" heartbeat in silence.
He leaned back, forget it, there's no point in rushing, just wait and see what happens.
After waiting like this, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. I don't know if I hung him like this on purpose to break his will.
Just as he was thinking about whether there was something or not, the door was pushed open, and Tan Shulin and another strange young man walked in.
He was holding a cloth bag in his hand.
With a stern expression on his face, he raised his hand and poured the contents of the bag onto the table, "These are all found in your dormitory."
Qiu Huoming looked at the scattered large groups, as well as a familiar homespun package and a half-dismantled pocket radio. At the same time, his nose smelled a strange fragrance. The smell was pleasant. He looked at the homespun package. I clearly remember that the package before was tasteless.
"Recognize these things, are they yours?"
"The money and radio are mine. What's wrapped in this cloth?" Qiu Huoming asked.
Tan Shulin sneered, opened the package, took out a black stem piece, scraped it with a knife for a moment, and a strange fragrance hit him.
"Don't say you don't recognize this thing. I found this from your cabinet. It contains precious medicinal materials, soft silk agarwood..."
Qiu Huoming was stunned. He knew about agarwood, but he didn't know it was agarwood inside. He didn't know how the Miao aunt sealed it inside without him noticing.
Maybe the aunt also said it was agarwood, and maybe the language barrier made him ignore it...
"I really don't know this. This was given to me by an aunt from the Miao ethnic group on the train..."
"For no reason, someone gave you such a valuable item? You have to be moderate when telling lies. Let's put this aside for now."
"Where does this money come from? We have investigated your family situation. An average working-class family has more than a thousand yuan here. My salary is only more than 50 yuan a month. This amount of money is enough to keep you in jail for several years..."
Qiu Huoming was angry and suppressed it, "I am a writer, these are my royalties. You can go to the post office to investigate. There are records of remittances and collections..."
The young man next to him listened to their conversation and kept taking notes.
Tan Shulin said solemnly, "We will confirm these..."
"Let me ask you again, where did this radio come from?"
"It was given by a brother I met on the train. I have his address. You can check it out."
"What kind of train is this? Not only does someone give you valuable medicinal materials, but someone also gives you a radio?" Tan Shulin sneered.
Qiu Huoming kept silent. The other party obviously didn't like him, and he made many mistakes.
"Take off your watch."
Qiu Huoming took off his watch and put it on the table.
"Lock him up first and wait until witnesses come over." Tan Shulin put all the scattered items on the table back into the bag and walked out with the bag in hand.
Xiao Du glanced at Qiu Huoming with some disgust. He had been busy trying the 'smuggling' cases recently and had no good impression of these criminals. "Get up."
Qiu Huoming stood up and followed him through the corridor. He opened the iron door and untied his handcuffs, "Go in."
There was a man in a floral shirt leaning on the single bed in the room, shouting, "The new guy is here..."
As soon as Qiu Huoming walked in, the iron door behind him closed with a clang.
