A well-behaved girl was deceived while searching for her husband; she married a childless military o

The police officer asked Qiao Lanshu, "Comrade, what case do you want to report?"

The police officers thought that Qiao Lanshu was going to report a case about the ticket seller who had been harassed before.

Unexpectedly, what Qiao Lanshu said greatly frightened the police officers.

She said, "I'm going to report this to the police; someone is trying to steal explosives to get revenge on me."

Police officer: "..."

The young policeman thought he had misheard. He stood up in shock and repeated, "Someone wants to steal explosives to get revenge on you?"

Qiao Lanshu nodded: "A few days ago, a temporary worker from the supply and marketing cooperative approached me and gave me a coat and a watch. I didn't accept them and returned them to his uncle. Then he got very angry and said he would blow me up. His uncle is Director Chu of the supply and marketing cooperative. You can ask him if you don't believe me."

Upon hearing this, the police officer immediately comforted Qiao Lanshu: "Young comrade, perhaps the other party was just saying it in anger. Don't be nervous."

Qiao Lanshu wasn't nervous; it was just that Chu Liangjun was currently a ticking time bomb, and what if he accidentally hurt someone else?

The police officer then asked, "So, do you know where he is now? Is he still at the supply and marketing cooperative?"

Qiao Lanshu then told him about Chu Liangjun's work at the road construction site.

Finally, she said, "I heard that when roads are being built in the mountains, special explosives are used for blasting. I'm worried he might steal some. So, officers, could you quietly go and keep an eye on him? If the explosives aren't stolen, then there's no problem, but if they are..."

Although Qiao Lanshu said this, the police officers still felt that Chu Liangjun's words about blowing Qiao Lanshu up were just a momentary outburst and should not be taken seriously.

Of course, Chu Liangjun never said such a thing to Qiao Lanshu; it was something Qiao Lanshu fabricated himself, since even the police couldn't confirm it.

What Qiao Lanshu said was true; in his previous life, Chu Liangjun had stolen explosives from a construction site and buried them on the road to blow up his aunt, Niu Weifen.

Since Qiao Lanshu has reported the case, the police officers cannot sit idly by.

Although in those days the Public Security Bureau did not play as much a role as the Revolutionary Committee, it still had corresponding powers.

After reporting the case to the police, Qiao Lanshu went back to work at the food factory.

However, she was still thinking about this matter and planned to talk to Qin Yuanzheng about it when he came over in the afternoon.

……

As soon as Qin Yuanzheng stepped into the mining area, the cold wind whipped up dust and splattered onto his face.

Without stopping, he went straight to the office and called Xiao Yang over for questioning;

Xiao Yang stood ramrod straight: "Commander, Chu Liangjun has already resigned from the supply and marketing cooperative. He hasn't been secretly following your wife these past few days. Right now, he's working as a bricklayer on the highway near our mining area. We can't keep too close an eye on him, lest we cause gossip. Seeing that he's working quite diligently and conscientiously, we've withdrawn the people who were tailing him."

After all, Chu Liangjun has only lost his job and is now working diligently; he hasn't actually done anything illegal or disorderly. The people in the military can't just keep staring at him indiscriminately.

Xiao Yang paused, as if suddenly remembering something, and quickly added, "By the way, Commander, it seems that Chu Liangjun sent some things to your wife a couple of days ago, but she returned them to Chu Haiming untouched."

Qin Yuanzheng frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

His expression unconsciously darkened, and he asked in a deep voice, "What did he give Xiao Qiao?"

"It looks like... a watch."

Xiao Yang answered cautiously.

Qin Yuanzheng snorted coldly, his tone carrying a hint of possessiveness and disdain: "The day I got our marriage certificate, I bought my wife a watch. She doesn't need that kind of thing."

Upon learning that Chu Liangjun was now working diligently as a construction worker, Qin Yuanzheng did not press him further.

Although Chu Liangjun had secretly followed his wife before, his sudden gift made him feel uncomfortable and very unhappy.

But Qin Yuanzheng has always been a reasonable person, and he can't just push someone to their death just because they admire his wife.

His wife is young and so beautiful, it's only natural that she's popular.

As long as Chu Liangjun knows his limits, doesn't overstep the line, and doesn't disturb their peaceful lives, he can temporarily let it go.

He slowly stood up, and Xiao Yang, quick as a flash, immediately went forward, took down the military overcoat hanging on the office wall, and carefully helped him put it on.

Although Qin Yuanzheng's arm injury has healed somewhat, he still needs to change the dressing every day. The bandage is also newly changed, and any large movement causes him pain.

Staff Officer Lin and Xiao Yang, who were with him, all took care of him as if he were a fragile object, afraid that he might have the slightest inconvenience.

Not to mention helping him get dressed, even at lunchtime, Staff Officer Lin would bring a spoon over and practically feed him himself.

As soon as Xiao Yang helped him put on his coat, before Qin Yuanzheng could even speak, Staff Officer Lin quickly grabbed the military cap and, without saying a word, put it on his head.

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

Staff Officer Lin said with concern, but in a slightly irritating tone, "Regimental Commander, where are you going? Can you still manage? If you really can't, we'll carry you there."

Qin Yuanzheng was both angry and amused. He lightly kicked him and said with a laugh, "Get lost!"

Staff Officer Lin chuckled and quickly ran out.

Qin Yuanzheng was going to inspect the mining area.

A series of serious accidents occurred in the mining area a few days ago due to the improper placement of explosives, and it was only in the last two days that the situation was barely resolved.

As a result, the military arrested several people, including the engineer in charge, the demolition expert who carried out the demolition, and several junior supervisors who followed up on the scene—no one was spared.

At this critical juncture in the espionage war, no one can guarantee that the mining area has not been secretly infiltrated by the enemy.

Therefore, even though Qin Yuanzheng's arm was injured, he couldn't rest at all and had to come over to check on him several times before he felt at ease.

The mining area was bustling with workers coming and going, and there were also several large and powerful wolfhounds.

These wolfhounds are all retired military dogs; they are intelligent, alert, and have a keen sense of smell. When they get angry, they are even more intimidating.

The logistics department soldiers specially built a spacious doghouse out of rough wood next to the mine dormitory, just for the dogs to rest in.

Next to the doghouse, a somewhat mentally challenged man squats all year round, spending his days with the dog, sometimes even eating with it, a sight that is particularly heartbreaking.

Qin Yuanzheng saw him as he passed by, paused slightly, and turned to ask Xiao Yang, "Why is Lao Wu back again? Wasn't he supposed to be sent to the military sanatorium a while ago?"

Xiao Yang quickly stepped forward and replied, "Commander, we did deliver them, but he secretly ran back. I originally thought he couldn't bear to part with these military dogs, so I sent the dogs to him along with them. But guess what? He took the dogs and ran back overnight."

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

When he was young, Lao Wu was a military dog ​​trainer in the army. He spent his whole life dealing with military dogs, carefully raising and strictly training them.

Later, amidst the chaos of war, an explosive device detonated nearby, instantly deafening him in one ear and severely damaging his brain, leaving him alternating between lucidity and confusion.

The military dog ​​he raised himself was also lost in that war.

The military dogs guarding him now are all retired after the war, and they are all particularly attached to Lao Wu.

Qin Yuanzheng saw that Old Wu was always guarding the doghouse and was concerned about his health.

Fortunately, there were dormitories and canteens in the mining area, so he wouldn't go hungry or cold.

He didn't say anything more, but called out to Old Wu from a distance, "Old Wu, walking the dog?"

After saying that, he prepared to walk away.

Old Wu heard someone calling him, slowly raised his head, holding a large dog in his arms. His rough hands stroked the dog's fur, and he muttered repeatedly, "Explosives... explosives... someone's going to blow up the mine..."

Qin Yuanzheng chuckled and turned to Xiao Yang and Staff Officer Lin, saying, "Who said Old Wu is stupid? I think he's perfectly clear-headed. It's been several days since the mine was bombed, but he still remembers it."

Xiao Yang was also puzzled: "That's strange, how did Lao Wu know the mine was bombed? Didn't we specifically keep it a secret?"

Staff Officer Lin thought for a moment and casually said, "No matter how tightly controlled it is, people inside will always talk about it in private. Old Wu is always wandering around the dormitory and canteen area. What news can escape his notice?"

When Old Wu saw the three men in military uniforms turn to leave without any intention of stopping to check, he immediately became anxious.

He released the dog from his arms, staggered to his feet, and raised his voice, filled with urgent panic: "Explosives! Someone's going to blow up the mine! The mine's going to blow up, it's really going to blow up!"

Staff Officer Lin, fearing he might get agitated and cause trouble, quickly reassured him loudly, "I know, I know, Lao Wu, you go back and rest. We'll go check out the mine right now!"

Old Wu stood there, wearing a dusty old military overcoat, his hair was messy, his beard was unkempt, and he looked disheveled.

His hands were tucked into his sleeves, his body trembling slightly, and he kept muttering, "Explosives... there are explosives... the mine is going to be blown up..."

After muttering a few words, he slowly squatted back down, hugged the large dog beside him again, and gently stroked it while whispering to the dog, "Explosives... There are explosives..."

After Qin Yuanzheng led his men on a tour of the mining area, he went to process some documents, held a meeting with the engineers on the construction site, and then drove himself to the headquarters.

After a busy day, it was getting dark, so Qin Yuanzheng prepared to go to the food factory to pick up Qiao Lanshu.

……

Qiao Lanshu reported the case in the morning, but when she got off work in the afternoon, none of her colleagues from the Public Security Bureau came to find her.

She wondered to herself, "Does Chu Liangjun not intend to retaliate against me? He didn't even bother to steal the explosives."

As a result, whatever she wished for came true.

Before Qin Yuanzheng arrived, officers from the Public Security Bureau drove over.

Two young police officers got out of the car with serious expressions. When they saw Qiao Lanshu standing at the entrance of the food factory, they immediately walked over.

The appearance of the police officers immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Wang Xue saw it too and thought Qiao Lanshu had done something wrong, so she quickly ran to Qiao Lanshu's side and whispered, "Qiao, what happened? Should I go and send a message to your family?"

Qiao Lanshu shook her head: "No need..."

When Qiao Lanshu saw the police officers approaching, she had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, one of the young policemen said to Qiao Lanshu with a serious expression, "Comrade Qiao Lanshu, we'll take you home."

The police officer's meaning was very clear: the case involving Qiao Lan's book and newspaper had come true.

Qiao Lanshu didn't have time to say goodbye to Wang Xue before quickly getting into the police car. Only then, inside the car, did she dare to ask, "Comrade, did Chu Liangjun really steal the explosives?"

Police officer: "We cannot yet confirm whether Chu Liangjun stole the explosives; however, we can confirm that two bags of explosives were indeed missing from the construction site."

Qiao Lanshu's colleagues at the police station initially thought that he was just trying to scare her, not that he was really going to blow her up.

The amount of explosives on the construction site is limited, and their use requires approval at multiple levels.

Ordinary workers kept their distance from explosives; very few dared to approach them casually.

Moreover, anyone who secretly hoards explosives is to be executed.

The police officers just casually strolled over to the construction site and, as if it were a routine matter, spoke to the engineering corps unit managing the site.

He wanted the military to give him a clear answer regarding the accuracy of the quantity of explosives.

Everyone thought there wouldn't be any problems. The police officers even talked to the engineering soldiers about food and the weather at the construction site.

As a result, it was discovered that two packets of explosives were missing.

The police are now taking Qiao Lanshu to the military base in the mining area. Firstly, they need Qiao Lanshu to provide testimony to the military personnel.

Secondly, the police officers were also worried that the man might actually try to blow up Qiao Lanshu. They only had three men, which was not enough to protect a military officer's family member.

It would be safer to send Qiao Lanshu to the army.

So, just as Qin Yuanzheng was about to leave work and pick up his wife, he saw the police officer's car parked at the entrance of the mining area, bringing his wife to him.

Immediately afterward, Company Commander Yang rushed over with his men: "Regimental Commander, Regimental Commander! Something's happened!"

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

Qin Yuanzheng drove the car back. He got out, looked at his several hurried subordinates, and frowned, asking, "What happened again?"

Xiao Yang lowered his voice and said, "Commander, the explosives! Two bags of explosives are missing from the mountains!"

Their mining area is in the suburbs, and one of the highways to be built is located in the mountains.

They were going to cut through the mountains and dig tunnels, so people in the military referred to the road construction site as being in the mountains.

Qin Yuanzheng's face darkened, and Qiao Lanshu was startled by his expression when she arrived.

She had never seen Qin Yuanzheng's face look so bad.

Qiao Lanshu only reported the case after confirming that Chu Liangjun had gone to the construction site to move bricks, but she hadn't had time to tell Qin Yuanzheng yet.

She didn't expect that Chu Liangjun would succeed so quickly. Wasn't there someone guarding the explosives at the construction site?

Fortunately, she found out the information in time and reported the case to the police in time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Xiao Yang angrily cursed, "Those people are really useless. They even managed to lose explosives. They should be taught a lesson."

Qin Yuanzheng immediately spoke in a deep voice: "Immediately notify all surrounding military regions and militia regiments about the theft of the explosives, and order a full search of all mining areas, construction sites, and residential areas! Notify the mining area regiments that this is an emergency mission; begin a full search overnight. No one is eating until the explosives are recovered!"

Xiao Yang: "Yes!"
