Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 36 Are there any acquaintances?

The people around were shocked.

Not only did they hear Zhou Fengnian shouting that there was a thief, but they also slapped him so hard that he almost fainted.

The sound just now was so loud that people who were a little closer could feel a buzzing sound just by listening to the sound.

Zhou Fengnian shouted loudly: "Where is the salesman? Call the security guard and your leader, and call the police."

But right after Zhou Fengnian finished shouting, a man with a rat-like face stood up and shouted, "Why did you hit someone? And what evidence do you have to say he is a thief?"

"Why? Because you're also a thief!"

Zhou Fengnian saw the man's expression and knew that he had come across a den. He immediately shouted, "Comrades, stay away from him. This thief has accomplices. Let's wait until the police arrive to talk about everything."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, the people who were shopping around took a few steps away from the suspicious-looking man. They couldn't figure out what was going on for the time being, but it was right to stay away from him.

The accomplice of the thief was a little anxious. If they waited for the police to come, they would definitely be arrested. So they shouted anxiously: "I think you are the thief. You beat people for no reason. Let me teach you a lesson."

boom!
The man with a rat-like face pointed at Zhou Fengnian, but before he could finish his words, Zhou Fengnian punched him in the face.

With a muffled sound, the rat-looking man also fell to the ground and could not get up after sleeping like a baby.

"idiot."

Zhou Fengnian cursed inwardly. Everyone knew that they were a group of thieves, so how could they wait for him to finish his nonsense.

Zhou Fengnian then looked around and shouted again: "From now on, whoever comes close is a thief. If they run, they may also be a thief. Wait for the security guards and the police to come!"

After saying that, Zhou Fengnian saw that the man who was dazed by the slap he had given him seemed to have a bulge in his pocket, so he reached out and took out a small blue cloth bag.

He rubbed it and realized that it contained banknotes with the word "Qin" on it.

"Make way, make way, we are the security guards of the supply and marketing cooperative!"

At this time, the leader of the supply and marketing cooperative also brought two security guards to squeeze through the crowd, came to Zhou Fengnian and became alert.

One of the leaders in Zhongshan suits asked, "Comrade, what's going on?"

"I work at the machinery factory. These two guys are thieves. The one on the ground was stealing from me and I caught him. The other one is his accomplice. This is my ID. This was found on the thief. It should be stolen money."

Zhou Fengnian took out his work ID and handed it over together with the wallet he had just searched.

The director of the supply and marketing cooperative took it carefully, and only breathed a sigh of relief after checking the work ID. Then he looked at the wallet.

"Comrade, this might be what they stole from the supply and marketing cooperative. This group of people should have stolen more than one item and left."

Zhou Fengnian reminded that if someone was caught and he didn't run away but was thinking about rescuing the person, it took great courage.

Maybe there are accomplices that Zhou Fengnian has not discovered, and they may be frightened and dare not show up.

After listening to this, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative looked around and shouted loudly: "Has any comrade surnamed Qin lost anything? Has any comrade surnamed Qin lost anything?"

After a while, a female comrade came forward anxiously and said, "I lost it. My wallet was stolen."

"Is your surname Qin?"

The director of the supply and marketing cooperative asked cautiously, but did not give her the wallet immediately. Instead, he said, "Comrade Qin, we have called the police. Let's talk about it after the police arrive. They can also check if there is anything missing from the wallet."

After hearing what the director of the supply and marketing cooperative said, the woman was anxious but had to be patient.

Zhou Fengnian took a look at the female comrade who lost the money. She was very pretty and had an indescribable charm about her, as if she was very mature.

However, he felt it would be rude to look at it for too long, so he took a quick glance and then turned his attention to the surroundings, looking for possible accomplices of the thieves hiding. "Comrade, have you blocked the exit? I suspect there is more than one thief here, and there may be someone to help."

After hearing this, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative whispered, "I asked the security guard to watch the door before coming here, but if he leaves early, there is nothing we can do."

Because he had seen Zhou Fengnian's work ID, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative reduced his vigilance against him to the lowest level.

It is the leading machinery factory in the city, and a level 13 technician working there cannot be a thief.

Afterwards, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative comforted the people around him and hoped that they would wait patiently for a while, saying that the police would arrive and catch the thief.

The people around also cheered and responded. In this day and age, it might be a bit difficult for them to take action if they encountered a thief, but it would be no problem for them to help with even a minor favor.

The police arrived soon and after asking about the situation, they seized three wallets from the two thieves.

This was almost confirmed, and the police then said to Zhou Fengnian and another female comrade named Qin: "You two, come back to the police station with us and just make a statement."

"Captain, I remember now. This is the thief monkey. He must have just been released. I didn't expect him to go back to his old ways so soon."

Another policeman suddenly told the captain that he didn't recognize the guy with the swollen face at first, but later he remembered that this guy was caught for stealing at the train station three years ago.

Now they are dead, these two thieves.

Afterwards, Zhou Fengnian and another female comrade named Qin went to the police station. Before leaving, the police asked the director of the supply and marketing cooperative to post a notice at the door.

If you have lost something these days, you can go to Chaoyang Police Station to claim it.

After arriving at the police station, he asked about what happened when he encountered the thieves and everything was fine. However, the police at the police station were a little surprised that Zhou Fengnian caught two thieves by himself.

It's good enough for most people not to be afraid of thieves when they encounter them. It's rare to see someone like Zhou Fengnian.

After learning that a letter of praise would be published to the machinery factory, Zhou Fengnian was satisfied, and left as nothing else mattered.

However, as soon as he left the police station, Zhou Fengnian saw the female comrade who had just been robbed wandering around the door of the police station.

She left some impression on him because she was pretty and had a rare charm, but he could tell at first glance that she was married, so Zhou Fengnian planned to just ride away.

"Big brother, wait a moment."

Unexpectedly, when the female comrade saw Zhou Fengnian, she blocked his car and said quickly, "Thank you so much for what you did just now. If you hadn't caught those two thieves, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get my money back."

"It's okay, it's what I should do. Anyone who encounters me will take care of it, and just call me comrade."

Zhou Fengnian said casually: "It's getting late, let's go home quickly."

"Yes, comrade. What are you going to do next?"

"Huh? Why are you asking that? Afraid of going home alone?"

Zhou Fengnian turned his head and looked at the police station, and said, "Tell the police and ask them to send you back."

"They said they would wait until the next patrol came back before sending me back, but I was in a hurry to go home and cook."

Zhou Fengnian frowned and said, "We may not be on the same route. I live at the intersection of Fengshou Street in Nanluo."

"I, I'm there too. I'm from No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. It's the fifth compound from the entrance of Nanluo Fengshou Street."

Comrade Qin said happily after hearing this, and after a pause, she continued: "My name is Qin Huairu, comrade, let's go back together?"

"Qin Huairu?"
