Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 174 The Missing Mother and Daughter

“Since we’re stuck, let’s start from the beginning, sort things out, and go find the person who filed the report first.” After sorting things out, Bai Jing wrote a line in her notebook and then spoke to everyone.

"Yes." The four of them were very obedient, the kind of obedient that really did.

They would attack wherever Bai Jing pointed.

"Xiao Jing, should we bring weapons?" Xiao Jianwen asked, looking at the group full of energy, a question that made everyone uneasy.

It's important to understand that while the police are equipped with weapons, they don't carry them with them all the time. If they want to carry weapons, they have to report to their superiors.

Xiao Jianwen asked this question because he needed to go to the village.

Bai Jing looked at Xiao Jianwen and asked, "Brother Xiao, what do you think?" After all, this was her first time doing this job, and she wasn't familiar with it, so it was necessary to ask the veteran police officer.

"If it's really going to be a mission, we don't need to carry weapons on routine patrols. Our clothes are the best weapons to deal with bad guys. But when we go to the countryside, I think it's better to bring them. At least we'll have the ability to protect ourselves."

He's a police officer, not a god, so naturally he can get hurt.

"Okay, Sister Xiaoxiao, then please help us write up the application. I'll take it to Director Shao in a bit." We can skip the logistics department and go directly to Director Shao to get the approval slip.

Zheng Xiaoxiao, 26 years old this year, was originally a staff member of the logistics department. Because Bai Jing reorganized the team, Zhou Meilian directly assigned her to work in logistics for Bai Jing to ensure the logistics tasks of the newly established team.

"Of course, I'll write it right away and get it to you in no time."

The office was large enough for everyone to work in. Bai Jing didn't have to wait long; the application was completed in just a few minutes.

Bai Jing took it and left, heading straight to the office next door.

Shao Guodong was curious when he saw her come to see him again so soon. Was the case too difficult and she was going to give up?
"Why are you here? Is something the matter?" But he still asked patiently and with concern.

Bai Jing handed the label forward, saying, "Please approve, leader."

Shao Guodong picked it up and looked at it, then laughed. So that's how it is. "Okay." He quickly wrote his name on it. "Be careful when you're out and about. Guns can't hurt ordinary people, but when you're facing bad guys, prioritize your own life."

Another meaning is to shoot and kill the enemy directly when facing them.

Bai Jing smiled upon hearing this. She wasn't really a seventeen-year-old girl, so she naturally understood the other meaning behind the words. "Yes, make sure every bullet hits the enemy's heart."

"Your own safety is more important." He handed her the note and then said, "No matter how strong the enemy is, I hope you all return safely."

Although Bai Jing was known as a lucky star, as a leader, he was still somewhat uneasy about her.

"Yes."

They got the note, and the next day Bai Jing and the others rode their bicycles to the village of the person who reported the crime early in the morning.

Fortunately, it's not too far away, so I don't need to take a car; it's much more convenient to ride a bicycle.

"By the way, should we try to communicate with the commune below first?" As outsiders, they are naturally not as effective as the local commune.

It was Xiao Jianwen who spoke, after all, he had worked for many years and had a certain amount of experience.

“I think it’s feasible. For the village, the commune’s power is far greater than our police force.” Yu Yang also agreed.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Jing said to the two of them, "Why don't we talk about it after we've met with the person who reported the case?" There's no rush.

She still wanted Xiao Jin to confirm the news for her first.

“That’s fine, but it would be better to bring people from the commune with us when we go to the village where the incident happened.” Yu Yang nodded, agreeing with Bai Jing’s suggestion. And so, they rode and talked along the way, arriving at the village where the person who reported the incident lived after more than an hour.

After entering the village, the group asked the villagers and found the brigade leader's house.

None of the colleagues who knew about this before were there; it was just the few of them. None of them knew the way, so naturally they had to find someone to guide them.

With directions from the villagers, we soon arrived at the brigade leader's house.

When it came to external exchanges, Bai Jing gave the leadership to Xiao Jianwen and Yu Yang, who were the two who looked the oldest in the team.

"Hello comrades, what brings you here?" The captain was an honest man who looked to be around fifty years old, holding a pipe.

It's clear how anxious he was to come and open the door.

"Hello, Captain, we are ***." Xiao Jianwen took out his identification, introduced himself, and explained his purpose to the captain.

"Are you looking for that kid from the Li family? Sigh. But is there any news about Sister Li?" The captain seemed somewhat surprised by their arrival.

I'm even more curious if there's any news about Li's eldest sister.

"Does the captain also know about Li Damei's disappearance?" Yu Yang smiled and offered the captain a cigarette, then took the opportunity to ask a few questions.

"Could you tell us what exactly happened?" Yu Yang explained to the captain again, "We were also sent down from above to close the case. We weren't the ones who handled the case back then, so we just want to know what happened."

Upon hearing this, the captain lowered his guard, invited everyone into his home, and had his wife pour them hot water.

"We don't have anything fancy at home, please don't mind if it's just a cup of hot water." The captain looked a little embarrassed.

After all, they are guests. Although we can't bring any good tea, we should at least have a cup of sugar water. But with so many people coming, how much sugar would it take for each person to have a cup? The captain was also worried about the cost.

"You're too kind, Captain. A cup of hot water is fine, thank you." Xiao Jianwen took the hot water, blew on it, and then took a sip.

Everyone knows that life is tough, so naturally they don't care about these things.

"We would also appreciate it if the captain could tell us about Li Damei."

The brigade leader not only told them about Li Damei, but also asked his son to find Li Dashu.

"Alright, then I'll tell you about it."

As the captain recounted the story, everyone began to find it rather strange.

According to the brigade leader's account, it was clear that Li Damei's husband's family treated her very badly. In addition, she had only given birth to one daughter after many years of marriage, and she was always bullied by her husband and his family. Even her daughter did not have a good life at home.

A six- or seven-year-old child is just like a four-year-old child in other families.

Their Li family village wasn't particularly wealthy, but Li Damei was able to eat her fill and stay warm at home. Life was tough, but it was still better than what she experienced at her husband's family's home.

Li Damei has a strong personality, which is why she is disliked by her husband's family and often runs back to her parents' home.

Li Damei's parents felt sorry for their daughter, but since she was married, there wasn't much they could do to help.

The only time I could give her something to eat was when my daughter brought her granddaughter back, to fill that empty stomach.

One night, Li Damei came back and wanted to leave her child at her parents' house. Although she didn't know why, her husband's family came and took the mother and daughter away in the middle of the night.
