Li Weisheng's shout also woke up Li Mingfang. She crawled over the bed and hugged Li Weisheng in her arms.
The familiar fragrance and the familiar voice in his ears finally woke Li Weisheng up from that terrible nightmare. He reached out and hugged Li Mingfang tightly, as if he was hugging a life-saving straw. Tears slowly flowed out and then began to develop into soft sobbing.
Li Mingfang cried with him.
This was the first time Li Weisheng had cried since leaving the coal mine. His time there was like a sudden, piercing darkness in a life filled with sunshine.
He knew that there were many dark sides in this world, but he had never experienced them firsthand. And some things, if you don't experience them firsthand, you can never imagine how terrible they are.
Li Weisheng had anticipated what he would endure when he decided to go undercover at the illegal coal mine. But once he actually arrived, he realized the reality of what he would have to endure, and the hardships faced by those innocent people abducted there.
The sadness he imagined was not even one tenth of what he experienced in reality!
Li Weisheng did not regret his trip to the black coal mine, but he could not control some of his body's subconscious reactions.
Lin Shuyue looked at the two of them, took out a rope from her bag and caught the man who visited Li Weisheng's ward room at night.
He was about thirty years old, about 1.65 meters tall, and had a missing index finger on his left hand.
The noise of Lin Shuyue hitting someone woke up Li Weisheng and Li Mingfang. They were both stunned when they saw the man tied up by Lin Shuyue.
Li Weisheng wiped his face embarrassedly, but when he saw the man's face clearly, his expression changed slightly: "I know him. I don't know his name, but his nickname is Que Liuzi."
Lin Shuyue and Li Mingfang looked at him at the same time. Li Mingfang reached out and held Li Weisheng's slightly trembling hand.
"The coal yard I work at is called Liutoushan Coal Yard. Next to it is Guangye Coal Yard. The owner of Liutoushan Coal Yard is a brother-in-law of the owner of Guangye Coal Yard."
"The Guangye Coal Yard is much larger than the Liutoushan Coal Yard. How much larger? Liutoushan has more than 20 laborers, and including the thugs, there are more than 40 people. The Guangye Coal Yard has more than 60 laborers, and including the management, there are over 100 people in total."
Li Weisheng couldn't help but close his eyes. "The coal yard at Liutoushan operates in two shifts, while at Guangye Coal Yard, one person must work a full day. There are rules about how much cargo they have mined before they can eat or rest."
"Every week, people from the Guangye Coal Yard were carried to the shady slopes of the mountain for burial. Whenever we weren't working fast enough, the thugs would tell us about the Guangye Coal Yard. Specifically, they'd tell us how many people had been buried there and how many had fallen ill from exhaustion."
"I've seen him. He was one of the thugs at Guangye Coal Yard. He once came to the factory in Liutoushan and beat me." Li Weisheng gritted his teeth.
"This guy is incredibly cruel. When he beats people, he likes to rig his whip with really thin wire. Every so often, there's a circle of spikes protruding outwards." Li Weisheng lifted his clothes. "This circle of red dots is from him."
Lin Shuyue had good eyesight. Even from such a distance, she could still see the scars on his back accurately. Those circles of small eyes were densely packed all over his back. Those small eyes were not big, almost like the wounds from a snake bite.
But it is very deep, and some of it is still bleeding.
"He also has a quirk. He likes pretty and cute little boys. In the middle of the month, a fourteen-year-old boy was abducted from our kang. He heard the news from somewhere and came there."
"He took the child to an abandoned mine. When he came out, there was not a scrap of flesh on his body. He had a fever that night. We had no medicine, so we could only apply a wet towel to his forehead, but we couldn't save him. He died on the third day."
"Before he was thrown out onto the shady slopes, we looked at his body and saw teeth marks all over his private parts. The deepest part was already broken."
Li Mingfang's hands were shaking. Lin Shuyue raised the brick and hit the unconscious Que Liuzi on the ground again. She hit him in the joints, using a very clever force, causing him pain but not enough to break any bones.
As a law-abiding citizen of the modern age, Lin Shuyue attaches great importance to self-cultivation in this regard. Beating criminals is fine, and private revenge is fine, but sending yourself to the police station is not allowed.
Que Liuzi was awakened by the pain. The feeling of his bones being smashed made him break out in sweat in an instant.
He and Lin Shuyue looked into each other's eyes. Lin Shuyue curled the corners of her lips. The next moment, Que Liuzi's other arm joint was also hit.
Que Liuzi subconsciously opened his mouth to scream, but Lin Shuyue quickly stuffed a rag into his mouth. The rag was from the ground, which was used by Sister Miao to wipe the floor. It was very dirty.
Li Mingfang let go of Li Weisheng's hand, rushed over, and kicked Que Liuzi again and again.
"You beast, you bastard, you motherless bastard, I'll fucking kill you." Li Mingfang cursed every time she kicked someone. Her language was so rich, and it was all the treasures of the Guangdong language.
Li Weisheng looked at Li Mingfang like this and suddenly smiled. The haze in his heart dissipated a little unconsciously.
Que Liuzi hid to the side and eventually hid next to the wall, which made it easier for Li Mingfang to kick him.
Li Mingfang continued kicking Que Liuzi while Lin Shuyue pulled a stool and sat next to Li Weisheng. "Ah Sheng, when you reported the illegal coal mine, did you use your real name?"
Lin Shuyue's newspaper had an unwritten rule that interprovincial reports had to use a pseudonym, fearing retaliation. Lin Shuyue believed Li Weisheng wouldn't be that stupid.
After being rescued by the police, the police did not give him any special treatment for the sake of Li Weisheng's life safety.
Li Weisheng shook his head: "No, from the moment I set foot on the land of Gan Province, I was called Lu Sheng. I only used my real name when I was interviewed by the media and questioned by the police."
"And the police protected me very well. After being in the hospital, I have restored my real name." There is no surveillance in the illegal coal yard, and only a few people know what Li Weisheng looks like.
It is definitely not a coincidence that Que Liuzi was able to find this place so accurately.
Li Weisheng naturally knew it, and he pursed his lips.
Lin Shuyue asked him, "Do you have any police officers you trust?"
Li Weisheng nodded. "Yes. Captain Zhang from the Tonglu County Criminal Police Team gave me his phone number."
When Lin Shuyue came here, she passed by Tonglu County, which is not far from Linshan Town. It only takes half an hour to get there from there. It is quite close.
"Call him. In the next half hour, I want to carefully examine this missing six."
Li Weisheng took out his cell phone to call Captain Zhang. Lin Shuyue took the brick in her hand again and lifted the missing six pieces out from the corner with one hand.
Li Mingfang was already tired of beating him, and seeing this, she kicked him in the butt from behind.
It was unknown where he was kicked, but Que Liuzi curled up in pain. Lin Shuyue walked to the stool and pushed him, causing Que Liuzi to fall to the ground.
Lin Shuyue grabbed a stool and sat down, nodding her chin towards Que Liuzi: "Your name is Que Liuzi, right? Let me ask you, who sent you here?"
Lin Shuyue had long since returned the interrogation skills she had learned at the Public Security University to her teacher in her previous life. In addition, given her past and present lives, this was Lin Shuyue's first time interrogating someone, so she was a little unconfident.
Because of this lack of confidence, she took out a spray bottle from her bag and said, "I hope you tell the truth, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable. Have you seen this bottle of stuff? Once this stuff is sprayed on people, it will be very itchy."
It was also a coincidence that last night was Wednesday, and she was called up at 12 o'clock to check the flash sale mall, and she happened to see this bottle of itching spray. It was a perfect match with the anti-wolf spray before.
The spicy and itchy feeling will definitely make the criminals feel extremely uncomfortable.
The Super Pepper Spray was broken by Hang Jiabai and Lao Zhang in Chuzigou, and the bottle she'd been using as a cover in her bag was also taken by the Mulan County Public Security Bureau. They called it borrowing, but Lin Shuyue didn't mind, because she already had plenty of it in her system space! It just wasn't as effective as the Super Spray produced by the system.
Lin Shuyue had already created a perfect combination of itching spray and pepper spray last night. She had never imagined it would be useful so soon.
Que Liuzi obviously didn't believe it! He'd even eaten raw yam before, and his mouth and hands didn't itch. He wasn't afraid of itching at all.
He glanced at Lin Shuyue with a look of disdain.
Lin Shuyue believed that if there was no rag in his mouth, his saliva would probably be spit on her face.
Lin Shuyue was disgusted by her own imagination: "I can see that you won't give in. You are indeed a man. I respect you for that."
Lin Shuyue said as she took out the bottle of mixed anti-wolf spray from her bag: "So I decided to show my attitude with this thing. See, this bottle not only makes it itchy, but also adds spicy flavor. Since you don't believe me, I'll just spray it on you and let you try the effect."
Lin Shuyue lifted up Que Liuzi's belly and sprayed it.
Que Liuzi felt his body suddenly become cold, and then a little hot. He tried to hum, as if to say that Lin Shuyue was just bragging.
But before the humming sound ended, an itch rose from his stomach, and then the heat just now became hotter and hotter. The heat mixed with the itch made Que Liuzi's legs and feet kick forward unconsciously, while his hands subconsciously struggled downwards, wanting to scratch.
In just a few moments, he was twisted into a maggot on the ground, with a constant whimpering sound.
Li Weisheng followed Li Mingfang to look at Que Liuzi, then looked at Lin Shuyue, and was stunned.
The next second, Li Mingfang came to Lin Shuyue and said, "Ah Yue, Ah Yue, what is this itchy spray of yours? Give me some, give me some!"
Thanks to Lin Shuyue, all the female colleagues in the newspaper office now carry a bottle of pepper spray in their bags. Li Mingfang is no exception.
She ran to her bag and took out the pepper spray.
Lin Shuyue was not stingy either. She took out the itching water and poured it into her sprayer.
Li Mingfang shook her bottle spray up and down, and when she turned her eyes, she saw Que Liuzi turning over and twisting on the ground.
She lifted up Que Liuzi's back and sprayed two or three more pumps on it. She was much more ruthless than Lin Shuyue, and the last pump even sprayed Que Liuzi's armpits.
Lin Shuyue couldn't help but respect Li Mingfang and felt that she was still a little soft-hearted.
Que Liuzi didn't seem ready to confess, so Lin Shuyue didn't push him. Instead, she began to reflect on herself. She was still too kind! These criminals with a goodness/evil value of 50% should be treated more harshly.
Li Weisheng looked at Que Liuzi, who had just been twisted into a maggot and was now about to be twisted into a pretzel. He subconsciously moved his buttocks, and then grimaced in pain in his legs.
Que Liuzi was feeling uncomfortable, he even felt the urge to pee.
As soon as this thought came, a strong smell of urine came from the room. Li Weisheng subconsciously looked down at himself, then reached out to touch his crotch. He breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't feel anything wet. Then he slapped the hand that had just touched his crotch, feeling deeply like an idiot.
Li Mingfang exclaimed, "You're so old, and you're still peeing your pants!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the ward door opened. Three policemen in winter uniforms stood at the door. The youngest one looked at Que Liuzi, who was twisted on the ground. He was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "What's going on? Is he high on drugs?"
