Chapter 69 Intentional Injury
Lu Xingchen still did not give up and used the address on the letter to expand the search scope.
Especially for those places where the doors are open for business and public places with many people.
Ask everyone you meet.
For citizens who are doing morning exercises or entertainment in the square or park.
Also ask one by one.
They also went to the police station in charge of their address and checked the household registration system to find out whether there was a person named Lu Wannian.
The result was disappointing to them.
"Father was a retired soldier. He probably has a collective household registration, so his household registration should not be found." Su Qing comforted Lu Xingchen when she saw his disappointed face.
"You've been asking for a long time, but there's still no news. Could this address be fake?" Lu Xingchen was anxious at this moment.
"I remember the address on the letter was from eight years ago. A lot has changed in eight years, and anything can happen. Think of a way, and I believe we can find it." Su Qing said as an idea flashed in her mind, "I know a place that might have what we want."
After saying that, Su Qing quickly walked to a newspaper stall nearby, asked the old man selling newspapers a few questions, turned around, and walked towards the intersection ahead with Lu Xingchen.
After turning a few corners, we stopped in front of a post office.
"I think those letters were sent from this post office. Let's go in and ask around."
Lu Xingchen was now desperate and had no choice but to follow Su Qing in.
They were very lucky, as they actually met the courier who collected the letters that year.
"Lu Wannian, I have some impression of this name. He seemed to have been demobilized from a certain army. I forgot which unit he was assigned to later, but I do remember the example of the army before he was demobilized." The postman wrote the address of the army on a small piece of paper and handed it to Su Qing.
Soon they finally found the unit according to the address.
At first, the army refused to let them in, so Lu Xingchen took out the letter of introduction and explained for a long time.
Finally, after the sentry made a phone call for instructions and report, a young officer with three stars in the imperial examination came out.
It turned out that he was the squadron leader of the unit's guard squadron.
The two followed Captain Zhong, turned a few corners and came to an office.
"This is Secretary Lu from the Political Department. Tell him what's going on." After saying that, the squadron leader turned and left.
After some introduction, the other party understood why they were there.
"Chief of Staff Lu Wannian was our former leader and worked here, but he has been retired for more than ten years. Due to the confidentiality of our unit in the past, we have no record of his professional whereabouts." The hope that I had originally held was poured with a bucket of cold water on my head with Secretary Lu's answer, and the fire of hope was immediately extinguished.
The unit I work for used to be a confidential unit, but now after more than ten years, the confidentiality has been diluted.
Otherwise, two strangers would not be allowed into the army.
After coming out of the army, the two randomly found a restaurant, ordered two bowls of noodles, and after filling their stomachs, they still didn't stop.
They found a photo studio and developed a large stack of Ru Wannian's photos.
Then I went to a nearby store and bought a bottle of glue.
It was pushed to the vicinity of Mr. Zhong's address, and missing person notices were posted in the aisles, on pillars, on telephone poles, on walls at corners, on some billboards, and on notice boards.
But two days passed and no one responded to the missing person notice. After waiting for a long time, nothing was found.
Fortunately, Su Qing had enough cash and food coupons with her this time, so she did not run out of money.
Hard work pays off. On the third day, we went to the area where the missing person notice was posted again.
A man with a middle-parted hair tore off the missing person notice and found them according to the address on the notice.
"You mean you know the person in the photo?" Lu Xingchen couldn't help but feel very excited when he saw the other party unveil the list.
After getting each other's affirmation, the two of them followed the man with the middle-parted hair happily.
After turning a street, we entered an alley with a quadrangle courtyard, and after turning two more corners, we arrived at an area with older houses.
Lu Xingchen's combat experience told him that his current location was a dead end.
His vigilance made him involuntarily pull Su Qing and stop.
"Let's stop for a second, something doesn't feel right here."
When he found that the two hadn't caught up, the man with the middle part turned around and said, "It's not far ahead, follow me."
Lu Xingchen didn't move. He took Su Qing's hand, turned around and wanted to run.
However, at the corner where they came from, a man of similar age as the citizen and the man with a middle-parted hairstyle appeared.
They even had various sticks and knives in their hands.
It must be that our money was exposed and someone discovered it and had bad intentions.
Su Qing made such judgment.
"Take out all the cash and food coupons you have on you, and we will spare your lives." The man with a middle-parted hair behind him suddenly had a dagger in his hand and said with a vicious look.
Unexpectedly, he fell into the enemy's ambush. His original hope was exchanged for such a result. Lu Xingchen felt despair again.
He was not desperate because the other side had more people and various weapons.
It was his own journey to find his relatives. After several efforts, he just saw the light, but now he has fallen into darkness again.
For the two of them, dealing with a few thugs was no problem.
Lu Xingchen also easily dealt with the big men who came to collect debts from Su Hang last time.
Not to mention, Su Qing fought alone against three criminals who trafficked in women and children in Lingxi County.
The result was obvious. The five young men who came with great momentum were beaten to a pulp by the two men.
Especially the man with a middle-parted hair. Because Lu Xingchen was so angry and failed to control the strength of his hands, the man's right shoulder joint was dislocated, his upper arm was fractured, and his entire hand was removed and was swinging vertically.
The sound of their fighting also attracted the attention of surrounding residents, and it is unknown who called the police.
Lu Xingchen originally wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped by several policemen who arrived in time.
It turned out that as soon as they heard that there was a gang fight in the area, the local police held an emergency meeting.
All those who participated in the fight were taken back to the police station.
This situation is somewhat similar to what happened in Lingxi at that time.
The scene brought back sad memories for Su Qing. He didn't expect to encounter this again in a place like Kyoto.
Especially knowing that the five thugs on the other side were beaten with bruises all over their bodies and even dislocated and fractured bones, the two men will probably not escape jail time once the charge of intentional injury is confirmed.
Moreover, during the fight just now, the residents nearby closed their doors and stayed away from the fight, and there were no witnesses to prove their innocence.
Su Qing was unfamiliar with the place and was indeed a little worried about her current situation.
