Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

"It's enough if you can just walk!"

Du Bin grabbed Lin Zhengjun and said anxiously, "I'll give you a discount, 140 yuan, okay?"

"Okay then!" Lin Zhengjun pretended to hesitate for a long time before taking out a stack of big unity bills.

"What are you thinking, a watch costs 140 yuan!"

Du Bin said, "This is made of copper, it will never rust, and it's inlaid with crystals. You want to buy two pieces for a hundred dollars, what a joke!"

"140 yuan a piece? I thought it was two yuan. Forget it, I won't buy it!"

Lin Zhengjun suppressed his laughter and said, "I bought the watch to show off and to make others envy me."

"This watch is second-hand, tattered, and it's from a capitalist country. I can't even show it to you, so I bought it for nothing!"

"Hey, Lin Zhengjun, why are you so low in ideological awareness?"

"Why don't you just scratch off the foreign words on it?"

"Besides, now that we have reform and opening up, even President Nixon of the United States has visited China, and China and the United States have established diplomatic relations, no one will say anything about you if you wear a foreign watch!"

After some bargaining, Lin Zhengjun added another 80 yuan and finally bought two antique watches worth tens of millions of yuan for 220 yuan.

Leaving the state-run consignment store.

Sitting on the tractor, Tang Xiaofu put the ladies' watch on her wrist, looked at it over and over, and said with a happy smile like a child: "Zhengjun, you picked up a bargain. These two watches are antique watches. They are made of gold and inlaid with gems and diamonds. They should be very valuable in the future!"

"I know." Lin Zhengjun smiled calmly, "Wait another twenty years, any watch can buy several houses in Beijing!"

Tang Xiaofu hesitated for a moment before she said, "Since you know the true value of these two watches and he is your classmate, why are you bargaining so hard?"

"Do you think this watch is really a trophy captured by his grandfather during the Korean War?"

Lin Zhengjun sneered: "These were all stolen from other people's homes when he was looting and smashing things a few years ago. He has been hiding them until now and is selling them now!"

"Oh, so it's ill-gotten gains!"

Tang Xiaofu snorted, "That's fine. People like this should be arrested and shot. It's totally unfair that they have become cadres!"

"No good will come of this kid..." Lin Zhengjun sneered.

In the 90s of his previous life, Dubin was arrested for illegal fundraising and spent five years in prison before being released in 2002.

At the high school reunion at the end of that year, Dubin insisted on attending and told a story that was very tragic for him.

In 79, he sold two antique Rolex watches that were confiscated during the house search for 100 yuan each.

Not long after he was released from prison, he saw the two watches of the same model on an antique appraisal program on TV. Maybe they were the ones he sold, but they were worth hundreds of millions!

To this day, Lin Zhengjun still remembers Doberman's painful little expression at that time. He pulled his beard and complained bitterly, and he almost pulled out a tuft of hair.

"At that time, everyone looked down on foreign watches. Who knew they were so valuable? I was ignorant and thought they were made of brass. Who knew that capitalist countries were so corrupt that they used gold to make watches and inlaid them with diamonds and gemstones? Otherwise, I would have directly removed the diamonds and gemstones and melted the gold. I wouldn't have sold one for only 100 yuan!"

He sighed, his inverted scowl eyebrows were full of humor, and perhaps because of the smoke, his eyes were wet.

"If I had known it was so valuable, I would not have done illegal fundraising. I would have become rich by now! Now I have lost my job and my pension is not paid. Damn, I am so worried!"

He cried as he spoke, causing everyone to laugh, and the air outside the box was suddenly filled with joy.

So, Lin Zhengjun felt that he should thank himself for buying his two watches for 220 yuan, because he could only sell them to others for 200 yuan!

Thinking of this, Lin Zhengjun suddenly laughed out loud.

The Doberman, who was full of evil intentions, died of old age.

Lin Zhengjun suddenly thought of He Jian. Good people don't live long, but bad people live for a thousand years.

The tractor turned the steering wheel and rushed to the county public security bureau.

The Wei family has also been arrested for several days, so it’s a good opportunity to ask about the progress of the Wei family case!

……

County Public Security Bureau, Criminal Police Team Office.

He Jian was smoking and discussing the case with several colleagues.

"Wei Guoliang has now given up all the charges of embezzling collective assets and accepting bribes."

"The two bald guys and the thin-faced guy were also arrested. They were released from prison. One is called Wu Mantun and the other is called Zhang Fugui."

"Wei Shanye admitted that he attempted to rape Zhao Xueruo, but he did not admit that he had the intention to murder Lin Zhengjun. He just wanted to knock him out, kidnap him, and frame someone else!"

"As for Zhang Wanyi's case, all of them refused to admit it and insisted that Zhang Wanyi could not stand the hardship of being sent down to the countryside and ran away..."

"Comrades, the results are not bad, but there is still a gap between our detection goals and our goal."

He Jian frowned and said, "Zhang Wanyi's case is the most critical. Neither the economic case nor the rape case can nail them all down!"

Wei Shanhu was not directly involved in the attempted rape and kidnapping cases. At most, he was charged with the crime of harboring a criminal and was released after being imprisoned for three to five years.

By then, Wei Shanhu will still be a nuisance, and might even retaliate against Lin Zhengjun. There are many similar precedents, and this is not what He Jian wants to see.

"We've tried every possible means, but this family is very tight-lipped. I guess they know that if they confess to a murder, they will be sentenced to death!"

"The key now is that we only have Lin Zhengjun's one-sided statement. Zhang Wanyi is nowhere to be found, alive or dead. Without a complete chain of evidence, we can't convict her at all!" said several colleagues.

"Didn't Lin Zhengjun say that the body was buried on the riverbank? Why don't we just start a carpet dig?" a policeman suggested.

"You want to eat shit!"

He Jian shook his head and said, "Do you know how big the riverbank is? It's hundreds of acres of land. Burying the body would have to be two or three meters deep. If we dig it all up, what a huge undertaking it would be!"

"Besides, in some places, members also plant cash crops, which are their food money. Will they let you dig? If you dig for a long time and find nothing, can we bear the responsibility?"

Everyone was at a loss and sighed.

At this moment, a police officer walked to the door, knocked on the door frame and said, "Captain He, Comrade Lin Zhengjun is here to see you!"

"Let him in quickly!"

A moment later, Lin Zhengjun came in with Tang Xiaofu.

He Jian quickly stood up and shook hands with Lin Zhengjun, poured tea and offered cigarettes, and asked his colleagues to leave first.

After several criminal police officers left, Lin Zhengjun did not say much and directly asked about the investigation and trial of the Wei family case.

Normally, the case needs to be kept confidential during the criminal investigation stage.

But Lin Zhengjun is the person involved, the victim and the reporter, and he also provided important clues, so He Jian can discuss the case with him.

After listening to the reconnaissance, Lin Zhengjun said, "By the way, can I have a chat with He Fengying? I promise, if I talk to her for a few words, she will definitely hang up!"

"real or fake?"

He Jian's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "As long as you can help me find out, we can go to the North Street Workers and Peasants Restaurant and have the most expensive meal!"

"You said so!"

"Whoever lies to you is a fool! I have kept her awake for three days and three nights, but she is still stubborn. I am so worried!"

"Oh, by the way, ask the canteen to prepare a bowl of meat dumplings for me, and also get me two sets of women's clothes."

"Oh, I see. You want to overcome hardness with softness and attack the heart first. That's brilliant!"

……

Detention center, women's cell.

He Fengying, with a pale face and bruised nose and face, lay dying on the big bunk bed, her pair of empty eyes staring at the small window the size of a washbasin.

She was a big shot in the Riverbend Brigade, but she was nothing here.

Not only did the police interrogate her day and night, but when she returned to the cell, other female prisoners snatched her food and beat her, almost killing her...

The prisoners here are all ruthless people, including pickpockets, habitual thieves, profiteers, prostitutes, and even a tigress who broke her mother-in-law's leg...

At this moment, a policeman came to the door with a key and opened the iron gate: "He Fengying, someone is visiting!"

"Who? My mother's family, or... Shanlin?" He Fengying was confused and slowly got up and walked to the reception room.

During the past few days since her accident, none of her family members have come to visit her. They probably felt ashamed and were afraid of being implicated.

As for Wei Shanlin, he has always been a coward and never dared to show up.

"Lin Zhengjun, Tang Xiaofu! Why are you here?"

When He Fengying saw that it was Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu, she couldn't believe it.

After all, she had bullied Tang Xiaofu a lot and helped the Wei family deal with Lin Zhengjun. These two people should hate her to the core.

Who would have thought that the first people to visit her were Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu.
