244: Catch the person who secretly took photos.
“Alright, alright.”
Xiao Niannian helped Grandma Xiao to the Military Region Guesthouse.
The comrades at the Military Region Guesthouse naturally recognized Grandma Xiao and Xiao Niannian.
Hearing that Xiao Niannian wanted to check the information of the comrades who had checked in recently, they immediately retrieved the registration book after consulting their superior.
After Xiao Niannian checked carefully, she still didn't find the registration information for her Eldest Older Brother and Second Older Brother.
“Thank you...”
There were several Guesthouses in the County Government, and some factories also had their own Guesthouses. Xiao Niannian decided to first take Grandma Xiao back to the Family Courtyard, and then go check these places herself.
“Grandma Xiao, I'll take you back to the Family Courtyard first. Today, I'll go check the Guesthouses in the County Government...”
“Alright, Niannian, you must be careful.”
Although she desperately wanted to know the whereabouts of her Grandsons and Eldest Daughter-in-law, Grandma Xiao was also very worried about her Granddaughter's safety. She had heard about some dangerous incidents in the Family Courtyard before.
“Don't worry, Grandma Xiao, I will protect myself.”
Xiao Niannian sent Grandma Xiao back to the Family Courtyard, then rode her bicycle quickly toward the outside.
Soon, she arrived in the County Government, found another Guesthouse, and after inquiring, still found no news.
As Xiao Niannian walked out of the other Guesthouse, she heard someone calling her.
“Comrade Xiao Niannian.”
Xiao Niannian recognized that it was Zhang Weiguo's voice.
“Comrade Zhang.”
“Comrade Xiao Niannian, why do you look unwell? Did something happen?”
Zhang Weiguo had sent his wife and son back home these past few days and had just returned to Yangcheng.
“I am looking for my Older Brothers.”
Hearing that Xiao Niannian was looking for her Older Brothers, Zhang Weiguo immediately asked.
“Your Older Brothers? Did something happen to them?”
He had always wanted to thank Comrade Xiao Niannian, but recently he was busy taking care of his son and wife, and other things had happened back home, so he had to take leave to send them back.
“My father sacrificed himself previously, and my mother and Older Brothers were taken away... Today, I went to the Cemetery and found clues about my Older Brothers' whereabouts. I want to find them...”
“So that's what happened. What are their names? I'll find a way to help you look for them right now...”
“Xiao Hongjun... Xiao Weijun...”
Why do those names sound familiar?
Hearing the names, Zhang Weiguo recalled carefully.
But after thinking for a while, he still couldn't recall.
“I'll make some calls now and ask a few factories to help investigate. I have a car... You can come with us, and we'll go look in the County Government and at the station...”
Xiao Niannian nodded.
Just as Xiao Niannian was about to get into the car, she noticed someone taking pictures, secretly photographing her and Battalion Commander Zhang.
“Someone is taking pictures of us.”
After Xiao Niannian finished speaking, she sprinted towards the distance.
In a corner more than ten meters away from them, a person wearing a suit was holding a camera and taking pictures. Just as he was about to take another shot, he found that the person he intended to photograph had suddenly appeared right in front of him.
“Ah.”
Frightened, he took a step back and stumbled, falling onto the ground.
“What are you doing?”
“Hand it over.”
Xiao Niannian looked at him with a serious expression.
“What are you talking about? I don't understand.”
This person was extremely flustered inside, yet he put on a confused expression.
“You were just taking pictures of us. Hand it over...”
Xiao Niannian stared coldly at the camera in his hand.
“You're talking nonsense! I was taking pictures of the scenery here. I wasn't taking pictures of you...”
Seeing the man's panicked face, Zhang Weiguo understood everything.
“comrade, please hand over your camera so we can take the film for inspection...”
This person looked suspicious, and he needed to be taken back for investigation.
“I told you, I didn't take pictures of you... How can you slander me? Just because you are Soldiers, does that mean you can slander the masses?”
He shouted loudly.
“Everyone, quickly come and help me! These two people are trying to harm me...”
Hearing his words, Xiao Niannian looked at the camera in his hand, certain that there was a problem with the camera.
Zhang Weiguo's signaler, Xiao Feng, also understood the Battalion Commander's meaning at this point and immediately wrestled the man to the ground.
“You secretly used a camera to photograph Soldiers, and you look shifty and won't let us investigate. There must be a problem. We are taking you to the Military Unit for investigation right now...”
The photographer immediately panicked upon hearing Xiao Feng's words.
He couldn't be arrested. If he were arrested and the photos in the camera were discovered, he would be finished.
He decided to take out the film roll; once exposed, the film would be ruined.
Seeing his movement, Xiao Niannian immediately stopped him.
“Ah!”
The photographer cried out in pain.
With his camera taken away, the man started howling loudly.
“comrades, quickly help me... They are spies... They even robbed me of my camera...”
He shouted loudly.
The surrounding masses heard his shouting and gathered around.
“Who are you people? Let him go.”
“Quickly report to the Public Security Bureau! Someone here is impersonating a Soldier.”
“They aren't real Soldiers, they are fakes...”
Zhang Weiguo took out his identification and said.
“He was just taking pictures of us. This is my identification...”
Several people stepped forward and carefully examined Zhang Weiguo's identification.
“A Navy officer, and a Battalion Commander.”
“Zhang Weiguo, Battalion Commander. This identification looks genuine.”
“Wearing a military uniform and having identification, it should be real.”
“Could this person with the camera really be the fake one?”
Hearing the onlookers say this, the photographer grew anxious.
“They must be fake! Their identification is also forged. They want to destroy the evidence...”
Xiao Niannian looked at him. She didn't know this person, but she felt he was targeting her, just like the two people who had targeted her before.
Thinking of those two people, Xiao Niannian decided to go to the Public Security Bureau to ask about the situation. Was there any news about Brother Xiong?
“comrades, we are taking him to the Public Security Bureau now. You are welcome to come along...”
Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, the onlookers readily agreed.
“Good, we'll go together.”
“Don't believe them! They are fakes...”
The photographer became even more panicked. He wanted to struggle and escape, but somehow, his body suddenly felt a sharp pain, and he felt powerless, completely unable to break free from the restraint of Battalion Commander Zhang and Xiao Feng.
Xiao Niannian retracted her hand, holding the camera. Given this person's panic and guilt, the camera surely contained more than just photos of her and Battalion Commander Zhang; there might be other pictures as well.
In this era, besides those working in photography studios, most people who owned a camera were either wealthy or influential, let alone running out like this just to take pictures.
Could it be that this person was related to Brother Xiong again?
Who exactly is this Brother Xiong? Is he from the underworld? And if he's targeting her, who is instructing him?
Could it be Xu Yang's mother? Or the people behind Brother Hu and Brother Lei?
