Chapter 49 Running wildly
Wang Deming stood up with the help of Old Man Chang, and regained his composure. He continued with a wry smile, "Director Zhang, what do you mean by meritorious service or not?"

"Isn't this what I should do as a member of the new China?"

"Even if I wasn't here today, or if someone else took my place, it would definitely be the same."

"Besides, these saboteurs will sooner or later be unable to escape the sea of ​​our people!"

"Puff, puff, puff," the nearby patrolling militiamen also followed, also breathing heavily, and some of them were carrying Type 38 rifles on their backs.

"Captain Zhang!" The leading militiaman took a glance at the figure on the ground, took a few deep breaths, and confirmed with Zhang Dayong: "Is this person the thief?"

"Haha, what descendant of Swallow Li San! He was captured by you, Director Zhang!"

"Congratulations first!"

"You have done a great deed!"

"This is something that the leaders above are paying attention to!"

Director Zhang replied calmly, "How could I have captured him?"

"It was this little brother who captured him."

"It was the joint efforts of all the comrades in our police station and the full cooperation of the militia comrades that stopped this flying thief here."

Director Zhang immediately raised his voice: "Everyone."

"Close the team!"

"Yes!"

"Ah, quickly reset my bones!" The thief stared at Wang Deming viciously.

But both Wang Deming and Director Zhang turned a deaf ear to it.
Two policemen next to Chief Zhang were assigned to drag the thief by the shoulders and put him on the back seat of a 28-inch bicycle. One person pushed the bicycle while the other supported it.

Before leaving, Director Zhang saluted Wang Deming formally and said loudly, "Comrade Wang Deming."

"Thank you for standing up tonight!"

"After that, I will submit a written report!"

"Go back to the station!"

Chief Zhang took the lead and walked in front. The policemen behind him subconsciously formed a team of three and surrounded the thief in the center.

The militiamen also followed happily.
Only when the police and militiamen were no longer visible did Wang Deming breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, his heartbeat returned to normal, and his strength returned to his body little by little. He gently pulled his arm back from Old Man Chang's hand, turned his face to Old Man Chang and expressed his gratitude: "Uncle Chang, thank you for what you did just now!"

"Well, Deming, can we talk about thanking each other?"

"We are all family."

"Yeah." Wang Deming nodded heavily. There is true love in the world! Whether it was the old man Chang who stepped forward to rescue him yesterday, or the subconscious rush over to block the firecrackers just now.

All of this touched Wang Deming deeply. In comparison, he had only contributed a little bit of household expenses and money before, which was really not worth mentioning.

Suddenly he covered his stomach, his upper body slightly bent, his legs twisted a few times, and his face was filled with the word "embarrassment". "Uncle Chang, you go back first, I'll catch up with you later."

"I suddenly have a stomachache, I need to find a place to relieve myself."

"Haha!" Old Man Chang laughed heartily, "I understand, I understand."

"When I was blocked in a dead end by the Japanese, I just wanted to go to the toilet!"

"Go quickly."

"Is there any paper in your pocket?"

Wang Deming's face turned red from holding it in, and there was a hint of pain in his words: "Never mind! I can't hold it in any longer!"

"I'll find a few leaves on the road, or I'll break off two branches."

"Yeah, yeah, leaves are good too!" Old Man Chang was very experienced and suggested, "Rub them in your hands first!" "At this time, there are yellow ones, which are not effective. They are easy to break and stick to your hands."

"Okay, I'm going to find the toilet first!"

Wang Deming covered his stomach and ran away.
Looking back, he could no longer see Old Man Chang. Wang Deming let go of his hands that were covering his stomach, took a deep breath, and ran away!

Just when the thief was captured, while the other party was in a state of agitation, Wang Deming suddenly obtained a secret piece of information: the other party's treasure trove!
Not far from here, just opposite Mashi Street, Longfusi Street, is the Longfusi which is under renovation - Dongsi People's Market.

Longfu Temple, as the royal incense temple of Ming and Qing dynasties, had actually long been in ruins. Before liberation, only the mountain gate at the south gate of Zhushi Street and the last floor of the main hall remained.

However, the temple fair at Longfu Temple was once one of the four major temple fairs in the capital.

It has always been very popular.

Inside and outside the mountain gate, there are always small vendors setting up stalls: all kinds of general merchandise, clothing, shoes and hats, food, etc.; Longfu Temple Street also has many shops, photo studios, movie theaters, bookstores, flower shops, and the theater that Old Man Chang mentioned today.
After the founding of New China, vendors from the Deshengmen area were also concentrated here, making it even more lively.

Besides Xidan, Wangfujing and Qianmen, this is the place where people in Beijing go to buy things.

That is why this year (51 years) Dongsi People's Market was built on the original foundation.

After arriving at Longfu Temple Street, Wang Deming quickly entered the gate of Longfu Temple.

A large brick and wood cargo yard has been built on the site of the original Main Hall, relying on the original hall. Another cargo yard is being built on the square opposite, and the bricks have just been laid about one meter high.

Wang Deming jumped over on tiptoe, and with a few big strides he quickly arrived at the location of the previous mountain gate.

The mountain gate of Longfu Temple has five rooms, located on the top of the ridge, more than 20 meters long, with five visible and ten hidden. There are three doorways, the mountain gate in the middle, and the Four Heavenly Kings on both sides.

Of course, the statues of the Four Heavenly Kings are no longer there, but the bases are still there.

According to the information in my mind, in the darkness on the left, through the moonlight, I can vaguely see the base of the Heavenly King of Growth.

Wang Deming rushed to the base and touched a stone on the base. It looked like a perfect fit, but when he used his clothes to pad his hand, he pressed hard and it opened with another click.

This was a mechanism set up in advance.

Time was urgent, and Wang Deming was worried that the thief would confess at the police station in order to get leniency. So he didn't make any other attempts. He just reached out and quickly pulled out a large canvas bag that was more than one meter long.

So heavy!

At least 200 pounds!

It's against the world!

Without taking time to look, he closed the mechanism, turned around and quickly left the mountain gate with his big bag, walked north to Longfusi Street, walked along the west corridor (name of the alley) to Qianliang Hutong, then turned left to Liangguo Factory to Imperial City Wall, and then ran all the way north to Nanluoguxiang.

Along the way, I kept my eyes and ears open. Maybe the militiamen had all gone to the police station, so the journey was quite smooth.

When Wang Deming arrived at Nanluoguxiang and ran towards Gulou East Street, Chief Zhang brought the police and escorted the thief to the gate of Longfu Temple.

Dongsi 5th Street where Jiaodaokou Police Station is located is just across Dongsi North Street and three alleys including Dongsi Toutiao. It takes no more than minutes to walk there.

Wang Deming arrived at No. 81 Gulou East Street, and the gate was closed.

Wang Deming took a quick step, stepped his right foot on the drum stone beside the doorway, hooked the eaves of Ruyi Gate with his left hand, and gently lifted the large canvas bag onto the green tiles on the door.

"Kaka."

Apparently because the bag was so heavy, it crushed quite a few of the green tiles on the Ruyi Gate gatehouse.

But he couldn't care less. After putting away the canvas bag, Wang Deming strode away again, estimating the distance that Old Man Chang would travel.

Walk along Nanluoguxiang - Mianhua Hutong - Fuxue Hutong, which is hidden at the intersection of South Street, and you can also sweat at the same time.

After Old Man Chang walked past, Wang Deming waited for another minute before coming out of Fuxue Hutong and hurried over.

"Uncle Chang, I thought you were home already?"
