Chapter 689 Continue to pursue, the briquette factory courtyard
Hearing Zhang Da's words, Li Weidong raised his eyebrows slightly, stared at him and said: "Zhang Da, have you calculated how many people have died at the hands of your brothers over the years?"
"Ah?!" Zhang Da didn't expect that Li Weidong would suddenly raise this question. After being stunned for a moment, he said hesitantly: "I really haven't calculated this."
Seeing Li Weidong's expression becoming more and more serious, Zhang Da smiled awkwardly and said: "Leader, you think I might be deceiving you. This is a complete misunderstanding. I really want to tell you, what have I killed over the years?
How many people, but you should know that I used to work in the enemy's army, and those people were worse than ants to me.
You may be from the city and don’t know what ants are. They are very small things in the fields. They are inconspicuous at all. You can crush them to death with just a gentle push. Do you think you can use this kind of thing?
Do you care? Just like if you pour boiling water on an ant nest, do you care how many ants you kill?"
Seeing Zhang Da's nonchalant look, Fatty Yu was so angry that he wanted to stand up and slap Zhang Da twice, but was stopped by Li Weidong.
Li Weidong really knows people like Zhang Da very well. He is the kind of person who has no conscience at all. He doesn't realize there is anything wrong with what he is doing, and he is even proud of having killed so many people.
Of course Li Weidong would not sympathize with such a person. He snorted coldly and said, "Zhang Da, when you harmed people, you probably never thought about those people's families, right?"
"...Ah, that's not true." Zhang Da frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head.
Are you kidding? If he had had this kind of ideological awareness and understanding, how could he have done such a heartless thing!
Li Weidong said with a straight face: "Since you don't consider others, why should others consider you? I will give you two options now. One is that you give me the addresses of your two brothers, and the other is that I give you to
Fatty, let Fatty handle you."
Hearing this, Zhang Da was startled and his expression suddenly changed.
During the period of contact with Li Weidong just now, Zhang Da has already felt that this Li Weidong is not a person who plays his cards according to common sense, and he does not follow various rules.
Zhang Da was filled with fear for this kind of person.
After much hesitation, Zhang Da smiled bitterly and said, "My two brothers are hiding in the courtyard of the briquette factory at the moment."
"The main courtyard of the briquette factory?" Upon hearing this, Fatty Yu rushed up, grabbed Zhang Da's collar, and said viciously: "Good boy, at this point in time, you still dare to deceive me! What's the main courtyard of the briquette factory?
What kind of place is this? The courtyard is full of residents. You people who live in the courtyard will definitely be discovered. Now you are telling me that they live in the courtyard. Are you treating me like a three-year-old child?
?”
"Uncle, don't do it, don't do it!" Zhang Da waved his hands at Fatty Yu and said, "Uncle, I really didn't lie to you. My two brothers are really in the courtyard of the briquette factory."
"Pah!" As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit hard on the face, and Fatty Yu said coldly: "Good boy, how dare you lie to me."
As he spoke, Fatty Yu picked up his fist again and punched Zhang Da twice. Li Weidong originally wanted to step forward to stop him, but now he understood that Fatty Yu was deliberately looking for an excuse to vent his anger.
After all, Zhang Da is so hateful. Before liberation, he helped the enemy deal with his own people, which can be regarded as a loss of conscience.
Driven by anger, the fat man exerted great strength. In almost the blink of an eye, he was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
Li Weidong felt that if he continued, Zhang Da might be beaten into disgrace, so he quickly stepped forward to stop Fatty Yu.
"Okay, Fatty, although this guy is not a good guy, he is still useful now. You can't beat him to death yet."
Fatty Yu vented his anger and at this time also put away his fists and stood aside.
"I'm sorry, my brother has a bad temper, so he's a little rude, but you are the same. How can you say such unreliable things? Why can't you cooperate with us honestly?"
Li Weidong took out a cigarette from his pocket, stuffed it into his open mouth, and then lit it with a match.
Zhang Da took two deep puffs of cigarette before he finally recovered. He looked at Li Weidong and said with a bitter smile: "Boss, I really didn't lie to you. My two brothers are really in the compound of the briquette factory. I know the specific situation.
In fact, I don’t know. You may not understand our situation. Although I am the boss, we three brothers have different divisions of labor.
In order to prevent one person from being caught and then the whole army being annihilated, we three brothers formulated strict rules, that is, everyone can only mind their own affairs and cannot interfere with other people's affairs.
In other words, I am a killer and can only take care of killing people. The third child is responsible for arranging escape routes and finding hiding spots, so the third child is responsible for arranging them there.
Originally, according to the agreement between me and the third child, I was not supposed to know the location of the briquette factory compound, but I was the boss after all, so before carrying out the sniper mission, the third child secretly told me the location.
At the beginning, I was just as skeptical as you. I felt that this place was too busy and would be easily discovered. However, the third child told me that he had made complete preparations and there would be absolutely no problem.
You may not know Lao San. Compared to me, Lao San is just a noob. He doesn’t even know how to use a gun and doesn’t have any other abilities. But his biggest characteristic is that he can speak well, especially
Able to please girls. You may not know that the third child can win the favor of the third child in just a few days."
Hearing this, Li Weidong's eyes widened immediately. There are still such talents in this era! It's a pity that he was born in the wrong era. If he were born in later generations, with this ability, he would be an excellent pretty boy after all, and he wouldn't have to follow Zhang Da
Such a dangerous thing.
This was also a useful clue. Li Weidong called Fatty Yu and asked him to temporarily imprison Zhang Da, and then took people to the briquette factory compound to arrest Zhang Er and Zhang San.
Fatty Yu turned around and called Pengzi, looked into his eyes and said: "Pengzi, this guy is a desperado. You must keep an eye on me. If something goes wrong, don't blame me for dealing with you!"
Pengzi also knew the details of Zhang Da, and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, this guy will never escape."
Pengzi is also a talented person. In order to prevent Zhang Da from escaping, he first tied his legs with ropes and then took off his pants to his ankles. In this way, even if Zhang Da got a chance to escape, because of the restraint between his legs, he would not be able to escape.
He is also very slow and can be easily recaptured.
Then Pengzi arranged for two more little brothers, each holding a gun, and pointed the gun at Zhang Da's temple, and told them that if Zhang Da was suspected of escaping, the two of them could shoot directly at Zhang Da.
Zhang Da originally planned to escape. He originally thought that the only powerful people here were Li Weidong and Fatty. But now that he saw how powerful a little guy was, he immediately lost this idea.
When Li Weidong saw that Pengzi's arrangements were very thoughtful, he was relieved and took Pengzi out of the yard.
After some inquiring, the two came to the outside of the briquette factory compound.
The briquette factory is a special existence in Beijing. It is not the name of one factory, but the collective name of more than a dozen briquette factories.
In these years, there was no gas and insufficient electricity supply. Coal became the best fuel for people to use for heating, living and cooking.
Before liberation, people in the capital had to drag flatbed trucks outside the city to buy loose coal. The loose coal could not be used directly. After buying it, the loose coal had to be mixed with loess and then made into coal balls before it could be used to make fires.
Cook.
After liberation, in order to facilitate the residents of the capital, briquette factories were set up in various neighborhoods to sell bulk coal directly to residents. The original briquette factory should actually be a coal sales point. After liberation, a comrade in Texas invented
Perforated "economic briquettes" began to be sold at the Industrial Home Cooperative outside the south gate of DZ City in 1950. Because this kind of briquettes had holes, they were later called "briquettes."
In 1956, the Family Industrial Co., Ltd. experienced a public-private partnership and became part of the Texas Fuel Company, and briquettes were gradually promoted throughout the country.
After briquettes were introduced to the capital, superiors changed the coal sales point into a briquette factory in order to make it easier for residents in the area to purchase briquettes.
The briquette factories in various streets in the capital are actually one big factory, but because the employees don't work together, they seem very unfamiliar.
The courtyard of the Briquette Factory mentioned by Zhang Da actually refers to the courtyard No. 2, which contains more than 30 families and more than 200 people.
After Li Weidong figured out the situation in the briquette factory compound, he took Fatty Yu to the South Tongluo Lane Police Station.
At this time, the police officer had just started working. When he saw the two of them entering the office, he quickly stood up and handed them cigarettes.
"Brother Wei Dong, Peng Zi, why are you here today?" Xiao Pian policeman greeted warmly.
After Li Weidong lit his cigarette, he looked around and said with a smile: "Okay, brother-in-law, you are now the captain, and the treatment is good."
"Isn't it because of you that I can achieve so many achievements?" the young policeman said with a smile.
"Humility, you are too humble. Being able to be the captain is a reflection of your ability and has nothing to do with me."
Li Weidong had a good impression of the small policeman, so he helped him many times.
Seeing Li Weidong's delay in getting to the point, the policeman immediately understood that he must have something to discuss this time.
The young police officer stood up and closed the office door, then looked at Li Weidong and said, "Brother Weidong, is there another case this time?"
"Roughly the same."
The matter has not yet been investigated clearly, and Li Weidong was unwilling to divulge relevant information, but simply told the police officer about the situation.
"Police officer, there are two bad guys hiding in the No. 2 compound of the briquette factory. Do you have any acquaintances there?"
"Card No. 2 of the Briquette Factory..." The police officer frowned and thought for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said, "Don't tell me, there really is one."
"What is his relationship with you? Is the relationship close?" Li Weidong said with a frown.
Although the police officer didn't know Li Weidong's intention, he still nodded and said: "It's quite close... He is my cousin."
Li Weidong: "..."
Only then did he remember that the Xiaopian police officers were from a well-established family, and they all worked in the public security department.
After confirming it, the police officer immediately picked up the phone and contacted his cousin. He didn't know what was said on the other side. After the police officer put down the phone, he nodded to Li Weidong and said, "Brother Wei Dong, my cousin is already here with someone."
The briquette factory is waiting for us outside the main courtyard. We can go there now.
"
Several people rode bicycles and arrived at the gate of the briquette factory's courtyard. At this time, the cousin of the policeman was already waiting outside.
Seeing several people approaching on bicycles, he hurriedly greeted them.
Xiaopian Police Gang made introductions to several people.
"This is Comrade Li Weidong, director of the motorcycle workshop of the steel rolling mill, and this is my cousin, Comrade Wang Xinfeng."
"Hello, hello!" Li Weidong held Wang Xinfeng's hand tightly and looked at Wang Xinfeng vaguely.
The young man was about thirty years old, with strong features and a sense of righteousness between his brows, especially the calluses on his hands, which suggested he was a veteran.
Li Weidong was also surprised that Wang Xinfeng was so enthusiastic. After all, although the police officer was his cousin, such a principled person would not destroy his principles for the sake of his relatives.
There must be other reasons why he is so enthusiastic.
Li Weidong is a person who is particularly good at conversation, and he can figure out the reasons for things in just a few words.
It turns out that the management of the briquette factory compound has always been chaotic, with outsiders coming in and out from time to time. For this reason, the street office and the police station have made rectifications several times.
He originally thought that the atmosphere in the courtyard had changed for the better, but Li Weidong unexpectedly told him that there were two bad guys hiding in the courtyard now.
How could he not be anxious?
"The steward of the courtyard of the briquettes factory is a retired cadre of the briquettes factory. His surname is Wang, and we call him Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang is a man of high prestige and integrity, and he can also unite the residents in the courtyard. Logically speaking,
He is a good steward.
But the biggest problem with him is that he is too kind. When the residents in the compound make mistakes, he does not want to warn and punish those residents, but wants to cover up every time.
As a result, the atmosphere in the courtyard has become bad. In fact, to tell you the truth, just the day before yesterday, I led people to inspect the courtyard and found no strangers."
While Wang Xinfeng introduced the situation in the courtyard, he led Li Weidong and the police officers into the courtyard.
It was lunch time, and the courtyard was in a mess. The residents were either cooking at home or squatting at the door with enamel bowls to eat.
Seeing Wang Xinfeng come in, they all stood up and said hello.
"It's Lao Wang, what's going on? What happened in our compound today?"
"Nothing's wrong, I'm looking for Uncle Wang."
Wang Xinfeng was wearing casual clothes today. In order to avoid leaking the news, he did not tell the residents directly about the incident.
