Chapter 939 Isn’t it obvious?
It was obvious that Big Head was a repeat offender. Even when he was caught red-handed, he still insisted that he didn't know the three men and that this was his first time stealing anything.
Wang Xin was so angry that he slammed the table: "You caught me in the act, and you're still trying to be stubborn. I think you're going to fight to the end, right?"
"Comrade police officer, you can't force me to admit something I didn't do."
Qin Hao sneered, "Don't play dumb with me. You know whether you have a criminal record or not. If you keep stubbornly saying nothing, your accomplices will confess and you will lose your chance to make meritorious contributions. Don't blame me for not telling you."
Big Head didn't dare to look Qin Hao in the eye, but still kept his head down, obviously intending to fight to the end.
Wang Xin wanted to continue the interrogation, but Qin Hao signaled another flight attendant to take him away first.
"Old Qin, it's over like this, and he hasn't said anything yet." Wang Xin was a little reluctant.
Qin Hao said casually, "What else? If we keep him here, will he tell us? This guy is obviously a repeat offender and has some knowledge of us. If you keep wasting time with him, he will think that we can't do anything to him. It's better to lock him up alone first, interrogate his accomplices, get some information out of them, and then interrogate him. By then, we will have the initiative in our hands."
Wang Xinyan slapped his thigh and said, "That makes sense."
Ma Kui sneered at the side, "You are one of the best criminal investigators, but you don't understand such a simple principle. You have wasted your time in the police academy."
After Ma Kui finished speaking, he didn't even look at Wang Xin. He stood up and went to the flight attendant room to bring one of the thieves over. After a severe interrogation, the little guy couldn't even hold on for five minutes and confessed.
After the little guy finished talking, Ma Kui glanced at Wang Xin provocatively, which made Wang Xin so angry that he almost had a quarrel with Ma Kui.
Ma Kui completely ignored him and waited for the little man to sign the transcript before taking him away.
"Old Qin, you see, he is targeting me." Wang Xin couldn't help but complain to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao patted Wang Xin on the shoulder and said earnestly: "We have graduated from the police academy and entered society. You have to learn how to get along with your colleagues and leaders. Don't expect everyone you meet to be your mentor or friend."
Wang Xin stopped talking. He knew that what Qin Hao said was right, but he still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, being a policeman is different from other professions. It is tiring enough to fight wits and courage with criminals every day, and he also has to engage in intrigue with colleagues. The thought of it makes him feel hopeless.
Next, Qin Hao and Ma Kui interrogated the two duo singers one after another. They were even more easily intimidated than the short guy, and they quickly revealed everything about Big Head. It turned out that Big Head was not only a habitual offender, but also recruited people to join their gang through various means of coercion and inducement. Their gang now has more than a dozen people. This group of people often roamed around crowded areas such as train stations all year round, with their division of labor and mutual protection. They had been free outside for a while, and today was the first time they were caught.
When they heard that it was a gang, Qin Hao and Ma Kui's eyes lit up. A single thief could at most be considered as completing a job, but cracking down on a gang would be a real "achievement".
However, according to the three men, only Big Head knew the information of the other gang members. They had only met them once or twice at parties and did not know where they lived.
There is no other way but to re-interrogate Big Head.
Soon, Big Head was brought back to the dining car and left alone for more than an hour. The old guy was obviously feeling guilty.
"What's the matter? Your accomplices have all confessed, but you still don't plan to tell us, right?" Ma Kui glared at them with a fierce look on his face, which gave off a sense of oppression.
The big head shuddered, but soon he started to act rogue again: "Comrade police, I've told you eight hundred times, I don't even know them, how can they be my accomplices?"
"Oh? Really? It seems that you don't know Ma Quezi and the others either. Then there is nothing for you to do. When we catch them, we will identify you together. I just don't know how many years you will be sentenced as the leader of the gang."
As he spoke, Qin Hao winked at Wang Xin.
Wang Xin understood: "I think life imprisonment should be enough. Didn't we catch a watch thief and sentenced him to five years?"
Sweat began to appear on Big Head's forehead. It was no wonder that he was scared.
The Criminal Law had not yet been promulgated in 1978, and there was no unified standard for sentencing at that time. For example, if someone stole a few dollars, the sentence would be heavier than if he stole hundreds of dollars. It was not until the Criminal Law was officially promulgated in 1979 that sentencing gradually became standardized.
"Since you still refuse to tell us, let's not waste time. Let him sign the transcript and wait for the sentencing."
After being threatened repeatedly by Qin Hao and his two companions, Big Head finally couldn't take it anymore and revealed all the remaining members of his gang. These unrighteous people always talked about brotherhood on weekdays, but when it came to their own sentencing, they wished to clear themselves and kill the other party.
After returning from Harbin, Qin Hao and his two companions took Big Head and, with the support of the local police station, arrested all the remaining members of the gang. This gang that had been entrenched on the railway lines and making a living by stealing was thus destroyed.
Soon, this incident was taken as a typical example and was praised by superiors. Captain Hu was so proud of himself that he had a smile on his face during the meeting.
"Comrades Ma Kui, Qin Hao and Wang Xin did a great job this time. They not only caught the thieves on the train in time, but also followed the clues to destroy their theft gang. This attitude of being responsible for people's lives and property is worthy of learning for all of us."
After talking for so long, we finally get to the rewards part.
As a master and an old police officer, Ma Kui was given a direct salary increase of one level. Qin Hao and Wang Xin received an internal commendation and a bonus of three dollars each.
There was no way around it. This was the treatment we received in the 70s, and it was better than nothing.
But Wang Xin was still quite satisfied. Even Ma Kui's face, which had always been stern, began to smile.
After get off work, Ma Kui rarely invited Qin Hao to his home for dinner.
"Uncle Ma, you just got a raise and haven't received the money yet, but you're already treating us to a meal. If your aunt finds out, won't she make trouble with you?" Qin Hao teased.
Ma Kui was in a good mood and joked with Qin Hao: "Make trouble? She dares to do so. She is rebelling against the heavens."
Just when Wang Xin thought he had a share, Ma Kui pulled Qin Hao away without even looking at him.
"What's the big deal? It's just a meal. I eat better than you when I go home."
Following Ma Kui to his home, his wife Wang Sufang was making dumplings and was very enthusiastic to see Qin Hao.
"I've been hearing Lao Ma talking about you for a long time. My ears are almost callused. I'm still wondering, is this guy really that good?"
Qin Hao joked, "Aunt, were you disappointed after meeting me?"
"Haha, you are a really interesting kid. After seeing you today, I feel that Old Ma didn't praise you enough." Wang Sufang is much more talkative than Ma Kui.
Ma Kui obviously didn't want to continue this topic, so he changed the subject: "Where's Yan'er?"
"I'm reviewing in the back room."
Ma Kui looked towards the inner room and said to Qin Hao, "I asked you to come to my house for dinner today because I wanted to ask you for a favor."
"Uncle Ma, this isn't the Hongmen Banquet, is it?" Qin Hao teased.
Ma Kui was also happy: "Since you are here, why not give me a hand?"
While the two were chatting and laughing, Ma Kui pulled open the curtains that separated the living room and saw a girl with a ponytail buried in a book. However, looking at her "lively" eyes, it was clear that her mind was not on the book at all.
"Let me introduce you, this is my daughter Ma Yan."
Before Qin Hao could speak, Ma Yan said in surprise: "Hey, it's you, police comrade."
"Hello, nice to meet you again." Qin Hao nodded slightly.
"So you are the apprentice my father was talking about. He always praised you for your ability."
"Oh, really?"
Ma Kui seemed to feel a little embarrassed, so he changed the subject: "Xiao Qin, you are the most educated person in our police station. Isn't the country going to reinstate the college entrance examination? Can you help Ma Yan review?"
"Reviewing is no problem, but the college entrance examination is only a month or two away, is it in time?"
Ma Yan obviously didn't hold out much hope for this: "Anyway, I think it's not going to work."
"Why do you always say depressing things, girl?" Ma Kui became unhappy when he heard it.
Ma Yan rolled her eyes: "The college entrance examination tests high school knowledge. I haven't been to school since I graduated from junior high school, so how can I take the exam?"
"Besides, I think my current job as a salesperson is pretty good. I can also spend time helping my mom take care of the family. If I get into college, I'll have to go out for several years."
"No need. I'm back now. Just focus on your studies. I'll take care of your mother." Ma Kui glared and said in an unquestionable tone, "How can a salesperson be compared to a college student? If you go to college, you will either be a technician or a leader after graduation. You will still be a salesperson even if you work all your life now."
Wang Sufang saw the father and daughter quarreling again and hurried in to mediate: "Why are you two quarreling again? Xiao Qin is still here, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Then he said to Qin Hao: "Xiao Qin, I'm sorry, he has this temper, I made you laugh."
"It's okay, Auntie. Uncle Ma is my master, so I am not an outsider." Qin Hao shook his head and said to Ma Yan seriously, "Ma Yan, I think Uncle Ma is right about one thing. Going to college means you are a child of destiny. You start much higher than others."
This was the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1978, and basically none of them did poorly.
Ma Yan lowered her head and muttered, "I know college students are good, but when I read these books now, it's like reading a book from heaven. They know me, but I don't know them."
"How about this, since you haven't been to high school, let's start with the high school knowledge points. Even if you don't pass this time, you can take the exam again tomorrow and maybe you can pass."
"Can you do it? I remember you went to the police academy with Wang Xin, and you didn't go to high school, right?" Ma Yan looked at Qin Hao hesitantly.
Qin Hao laughed and said, "Girl, you don't believe in my ability."
"Although I didn't go to high school, I have already completed all the high school courses by myself while in the police academy, so I should be more than qualified to tutor you."
Ma Yan didn't waste any time and handed the book to him directly.
Qin Hao took it and saw that it was an algebra book. He turned directly to the front, picked out a relatively simple problem and began to explain it to Ma Yan.
“解方程： 2x24x1=02x24x1=0。”
"The solution to this problem is, first we have the standard form of the quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0ax2+bx+c=0. In this example."
Upon seeing this, Ma Kui and Wang Sufang consciously retreated.
"This little Qin is good. He speaks very logically." Wang Suqin obviously had a very good impression of Qin Hao.
Ma Kui curled his lips and said, "You don't understand, so how do you know that what he said is right?"
"Then I don't understand, but my daughter understands, and you just like to argue with me."
Ma Kui said with emotion: "Over the years, the thing I miss most is arguing with you, what a pity."
"Why are you talking about this again? It's all in the past." Wang Sufang shook her head with red eyes.
"I will never get over this. If Wang Yongge hadn't refused to testify for me, I wouldn't have been in prison for ten years, and neither would you and Yan'er."
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't disturb Xiao Qin's lecture to Yan'er."
When it was time to eat, the aroma of dumplings wafted over, and Qin Hao couldn't help but eat some more.
"Auntie, your dumplings are amazing."
Wang Sufang enthusiastically added another bowl to Qin Hao: "If it tastes good, eat more. We've packed quite a lot today, so feel free to eat as much as you want."
Ma Kui couldn't help but care about Ma Yan's study: "How did Xiao Qin teach you just now?"
"That's it. I haven't touched a book in years."
In fact, after Qin Hao's careful explanation, Ma Yan did grasp some knowledge points, but she understood that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Moreover, the time to the college entrance examination was too short, and Qin Hao had to go to work, so it was impossible for him to come to give her lectures every day.
"Uncle Ma, you have to take your time when studying. More haste makes waste. Ma Yan may not pass the exam this year, but she should be able to pass it next year."
Qin Hao had such confidence. On the one hand, Ma Yan was not stupid. She just didn't use many junior high school knowledge points and had forgotten a lot. After systematic tutoring, she would be able to catch up quickly. On the other hand, the college entrance examination in the late 70s was not too difficult. After all, the college entrance examination was interrupted for so many years during a special period, and many students had almost forgotten the knowledge in the books.
After hearing what Qin Hao said, Ma Kui felt relieved. He picked up the wine glass and drank with Qin Hao.
After Qin Hao had eaten and drunk his fill, he gave Ma Yan another lesson. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when he returned.
Walking back along the dim street lights, when he was about to reach the gate of the railway compound, he saw Wang Xin squatting at the door and looking around.
"Why are you lying there so late at night?"
Wang Xin came close to Qin Hao and smelled it: "Dumplings, with pork and green onion filling, taste good."
Qin Hao couldn't help but laugh at his sour look: "The dumplings are good, but the vinegar taste is a little bland. It would be great if you could go, so we can save the vinegar."
Wang Xin glared at Qin Hao fiercely: "This old Ma is too mean. The three of us solved the case together, but he only invited you and not me. What does he mean by this? Does he look down on me?"
"Isn't it obvious?" (End of this chapter)
