"Well, that's right. I'll be back soon. It'll only take a day or two."
"Xiaomi and Uncle Liao haven't gone back yet? Maybe they're late."
I didn't dare to tell the boss that I was here in Changchun. According to what they said, they would arrest Xie Qirong tonight. To prevent the news from leaking, no one was allowed to leave.
On the surface everything looks normal during the day.
But I felt a hint of the atmosphere.
A hint of unusual nervousness.
After explaining the situation to the boss, another call came in.
"How's the situation, Brother Yu?"
Brother Yu said in a solemn voice: "Yunfeng, people have seen it, something happened."
"Wu Xilin's wife seems to be dying soon. The hospital came to the nursing home for intubation. The old lady still remembers you. She said that there are insects around you. She also said that if you don't listen to her, you won't survive the next spring."
"Yunfeng, it's better to believe that this is true. Maybe someone really wants to mess with you. My right eyelid has been twitching in the past two days, and I feel like something big is going to happen. Come over here as soon as possible. I'll be waiting for you at the nursing home."
I agreed, and we would meet at the nursing home in just a day or two.
...
9pm.
Three Passats drove in unison to the vicinity of the fertilizer plant with double flashes on. There were small flags on the car's reflectors. Pedestrians passing by were paying attention and whispering.
I was so nervous that my hands were sweating while sitting in the last car. For a moment, I even thought that Xie Qirong had better not be at the fertilizer factory.
He won't sit still and wait for death.
As long as you resist, the results are already predictable.
Someone will die.
Xie Qirong himself was deliberately released by someone from the Changchun Society. The four gangsters from Pi County represented another group of Changchun Society. During this period, I asked several times to get out of the car and go to the toilet.
I was sitting in the back row next to the old apprentice Chu. I had touched something he was carrying on his back. It was ice and hard, and it was a steel knife.
I saw a public restroom after passing the traffic light, so I said, "Master, can you please pull over? I have a stomachache."
The driver glanced at me through the rearview mirror and said nothing.
The convoy drove in the dark, and half an hour later, it stopped near the fertilizer plant.
This factory is the largest fertilizer factory in Yulin. There is a machine repair shop next to the fertilizer factory. The machine repair shop was built in the 1960s and has long been abandoned. Now it has been converted into a residential area. There are two machine repair shops like this in Yulin. They are small.
Jijiaopo lives in another place, and the monthly rent is thirty or fifty yuan.
Suddenly I thought of Little Chicken Feet.
I remembered the scene that night when she was leaning against the door and calling me to come in for a drink of water.
She sighed, wondering if she had found a job now.
After the car stopped and we got out of the car, almost ten people gathered together.
The godfather took off his down jacket and put on a loose black turtleneck sportswear. He looked much younger.
"Sir, according to Huili's investigation a few days ago, between 11:30 and 12 o'clock in the evening, Master Xie will pull the pallet truck back to the machine repair shop. This road is the only way."
"Where's Wu Le?"
"Go back to Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu has already finished the work. No police will come tonight. All the people living outside the machine repair factory have moved out."
"good."
"When Master Xie shows up later, don't take action. Just let us come. If he still recognizes a few of us, he may give up resistance. If he doesn't recognize us..."
The godfather looked at the others.
The three old men nodded and reached a consensus.
Yesterday, the man with glasses reported such a thing. I wrote it down. He said that Xie Qirong suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, intermittent mania, single cognitive impairment, and sometimes visual hallucinations.
Auditory hallucinations, such as thunder on a rainy day.
In summary, Xie Qirong has cured some of the most difficult diseases in mental illness.
The night was dark, and everyone was hiding on the roadside, waiting for the last moment to arrive.
11:45 p.m.
A white figure appeared in the distance.
Many people heard the sound of carts being pulled and whistling.
A tall and thin man was dragging a cart toward us. There were some messy things on the cart. There was a dead chicken tied to the top. The chicken's head rushed down and was hanging in the air. Every time the cart took a step, the chicken's head would move.
Swinging back and forth.
Xie Qirong sang loudly while pulling the cart.
"Hey...hehe."
"Pull scraps, pull scraps, I'm an expert at pulling carts."
"I'm not afraid of wind or rain. I'll go out and pick up the goods when I have them."
"Attention everyone, the goals are in place and we will start as planned."
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
Three cars turned on their lights at the same time, illuminating the entire fertilizer factory road.
The light was dazzling, and Xie Qirong raised his hand to shield his eyes.
