Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 423 Return

With so many people coming down from the mountain, Wu Jiesheng below could naturally see it all clearly. He quickly interrupted his questioning and ran out to ask about the situation.

"Director, we found the people. We found all the kidnapped educated youth." His men hurriedly reported the situation to him. "When the villagers were escorting the educated youth into the mountains yesterday, they were discovered by those people, and they followed them to Monkey Ridge. When we went there, they were just walking out with their people. Because we were in a hurry yesterday, we didn't make enough marks, so the way back was not smooth, so we were a little slow."

"Okay, okay, the most important thing is to find the people. Who are they? We must do a good job of registering them, and we must commend those who deserve to be commended later. We must not let the people down." Wu Jue clapped his hands vigorously. That's great! The educated youth are back, and the construction team no longer has hostages in their hands. They don't have to be restricted in doing things anymore.

Each of the villagers had their own ulterior motives. Before, they could still stick together and keep their mouths shut in the hope of getting away with it, but it is different now.

Wang Yu happened to walk over, and the policeman who had just reported the situation hurriedly pointed at the person and said, "Chief, this is the person... uh..." He forgot to ask the person's name.

"I'm Wang Yu, hello, police officer." Wang Yu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Wu Jiesheng.

Wu Juesheng saluted in surprise, "A good comrade from the army, hello." He was a little surprised. A soldier? Could it be that he was on leave from the border troops?

"Comrade, can you please talk to me for a moment?" Wang Yu said to Wu Jiesheng.

"Okay, okay, let's go over there." Wu Jiesheng nodded quickly.

The person who came forward to hand over the work left. Among the few people who stayed, Wu Aiqing was the first to speak to the policeman, "I am an educated youth in the brigade. I was not the one who was abducted yesterday. I also followed them into the mountains. Can I go back to the educated youth point first? I have been out for a day. I have to go talk to my friends."

The police officer was a little surprised when he heard what he said. What kind of thing did this construction team do? They kidnapped people but didn't tie them all up. What's going on? "Okay, okay, but I'll have to bother you to come over here later. We need you to cooperate with us in taking a statement."

"Of course, of course. I'll tell my friend and come right over." After going to the toilet, eating something and drinking some water, Wu Aiqing left a word and ran away.

Seeing this, Yi Chi also looked at the policeman.

The policeman's eyes met his and he waved his hand, "Then you all go back and have a rest first, and come back to take a statement later. The other educated youths can go back as well. We can come to find you later." No matter what, these educated youths were all victims and had traveled such a long way. He saw that the little girl among them was about to faint from exhaustion, so he decided to let them go back and have a rest first.

"Thank you, thank you police comrades, thank you soldiers, thank you everyone, we are sorry for causing trouble for you all." Zhao Chunjiang stepped forward, stood in front of everyone, and bowed deeply.

Seeing this, the other educated youths also walked over and bowed to everyone, "Thank you."

Those people were frightened, and Yi Chi subconsciously took a step back. After coming to his senses, he quickly moved away.

The police officer rushed forward to help the man up, "Don't do this, don't do this, this is what we should do, get up quickly."

"Yes, yes, yes, get up quickly." The soldiers also came forward to help.

The educated youth stood up straight, but continued to thank each other.

"You really don't have to be so polite. Go back and rest. You've had an exhausting day."

"That's right. After walking all this way, the female comrades must be exhausted. Go back and rest."

After expressing their gratitude, the educated youth left together.

Yi Chi also hurried up the mountain because Wu Aiqing told him that Jiang Yu seemed to have left him a letter, but he didn't find it yesterday, and he didn't know if the letter was blown away to some corner by the wind. He had to go home to look for it first.

After the crowd dispersed, only three soldiers were left waiting for Wang Yu.

On the other side, Wang Yu first told Wu Jiesheng his identity, of course, the kind of identity that could be made public, and then explained why he was here, and also brought up the Yi family case.

"I see. It's such a coincidence that we would encounter such a thing. If we collect relevant evidence during the interrogation, we can also try to dig deeper. I hope I can help you." Wu Jiesheng did not say that he was also investigating the Yi family's case. He only expressed his attitude that he would do his best to help within the scope of his duties.

He is not sure about the authenticity of Wang Yu's identity. Old Gong just told him about the investigation team, so how come he met the relevant personnel immediately? Anyway, to be on the safe side, it is always better to be cautious.

Wang Yu was very satisfied with the other party's attitude. He also hoped that Yi Chi's family could be rehabilitated as soon as possible. Ever since he knew what happened to the Yi family, he was full of sympathy for Yi Chi. After all, he had seen what Yi Chi looked like when he was a child, and he knew how much suffering he had endured over the years, and he obviously shouldn't have experienced all of this.

"Director Wu, we won't delay your work. As for the transcript, since Yi Chi is traveling with us, it doesn't really make much difference if we make a few copies. Of course, if you need us, we can stay a little longer." Wang Yu wanted to return to the base earlier, but cooperating with others' work was also their obligation.

Wu Juesheng thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, we still need to meet in the future. When the time comes, you can take a look at the transcript we made for Yi Chi, and if you agree, you can sign it."

"Of course. In that case, let's go first." Wang Yu thought it was exactly what he wanted.

Wu Juesheng nodded, "Go slowly, go slowly."

Wang Yu, along with three soldiers, left the construction team under the watchful eyes of Wu Jiesheng and others.

As soon as Wu Jiesheng and others left, they immediately returned to the room and continued the questioning that had just been interrupted.

The others also got busy.

After the person in charge of the army knew that the person had been found, he brought back all the scattered soldiers, and they gathered together when the sky turned slightly yellow.

When Wu Jiesheng finished recording his notes, the person in charge came over.

"The people have been found. You will be responsible for what happens next. Director Wu, I will leave with my soldiers." The man pointed at the group of soldiers who had already boarded the car. Many of them were leaning against the carport and were drowsy.

Wu Jiesheng glanced at his watch. It was already past 4 o'clock. He wondered if they could make it in time for dinner if they hurried back. "Thank you so much for your help this time. This mountain is so big. Without your help, we would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's so late. Why don't you all have a quick meal before leaving?"
