Ouyang Lan and the others came to Changting Street in Ningzhou County, stopped a man in his forties who was passing by, and asked, "This eldest brother, may I ask, do you have a desolate cemetery here?"

"Desolate cemetery?" The man felt a little strange, there were still people asking this kind of question, he looked at Ouyang Lan and the others a few times, and said: "We have more desolate cemeteries in Ningzhou County, what's wrong?"

Ouyang Lan remembered a key piece of information and added, "By the way, it's the cemetery that has just been relocated in the past two years. ”

"The cemetery that has been relocated in the past two years?" the man recalled in his mind, shook his head and replied: "I don't know about this, if you have something important, you can go to the county government's demolition and relocation office to ask, the relocation of the cemetery is under their control." ”

Ouyang Lan woke up like a dream, patted her head, this kind of thing is most effective to ask the local government for assistance, she smiled and thanked: "Oh okay, thank you, big brother." ”

Bidding farewell to this kind-hearted eldest brother, Ouyang Lan and the others went straight to the local county government.

The economic level of Ningzhou County can be seen from the county government's side, the government gate is not grandiose at all, and the square is not as big as a football field. Several gilded "Ningzhou County Government" also lost their brilliance, covered with thick gray, became dull and discolored, but the bar plaque with black characters on a white background on the side wrote a few words more clearly, and there was a strip plaque with red characters on a white background on the side, it seems that this is the common office location of the government and the party committee.

After the car stopped at the gate of the county government, Ouyang Lan got out of the car and walked to the security room, and asked: "Hello uncle, we are the case-handling personnel from the city bureau, may I ask, is the person in charge of your county's demolition and relocation office here? We have a case that we need to learn about from him." After speaking, he took out his ID and let the security uncle look at it.

The uncle looked at the ID presented by Ouyang Lan and asked cautiously: "What are you people from the city bureau doing when you come to find our director of the demolition and relocation office? Could it be that our director has committed some kind of case? If this is the case, it should also be our police from Ningzhou County, right?"

Everyone was speechless when they heard it, this security uncle reminded Ouyang Lan of the Tang monk in "Journey to the West", and almost sang a song "O."

ly you".

But it is important to do the right thing, Ouyang Lan still patiently explained to the security uncle, but this security uncle couldn't turn his brain a little, so he was afraid that he would put the bad guy in, and he couldn't afford to have an accident.

Just when there was an argument here, a Volkswagen car slowly drove towards the door, and when the security guard saw the car coming, he suddenly stopped arguing with Ouyang Lan and others, took a step forward towards the car, made a salute gesture and said: "Hello County Magistrate!"

Ouyang Lan and the others followed the prestige, and were surprised for a while, the car of the head of a county turned out to be just an ordinary Volkswagen car, and it still looked a bit old, but when I thought of the scale of this government building, it was not strange.

The car stopped beside them, and when the cab window rolled down, a bespectacled Svenven head poked out, only in his early thirties.

"What's going on?" the young man asked.

The security guard pointed to Ouyang Lan and the others and replied: "County Magistrate Chang, these people are police officers from the city, and they said that they wanted to find the director of our demolition and relocation office to investigate the case, but for safety reasons, I didn't let them in." ”

Ouyang Lan and the others were even more surprised than just now, their mouths and eyes were round, and they thought that this young man was the driver of the county magistrate, but they didn't expect it to be the county magistrate himself, this is too young!

As soon as the county magistrate heard that it was a police officer from the city, he immediately turned off the car and got out of the car, came to Ouyang Lan, and introduced himself: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Chang Ming, the county magistrate of Ningzhou County, do you have anything to do with our director of the demolition and relocation office?"

Became the county magistrate at a young age, either with a background in the family or with outstanding ability, Ouyang Lan was amazed and said with respect: "County magistrate Chang, hello, this is the case, our city bureau is investigating a case, and we have encountered some difficulties, and we need your demolition and relocation office to provide us with some help, I don't know if it's inconvenient?"

Chang Ming saw that Ouyang Lan and the others were very polite, and they also came down from the city to handle the case, and as the local government, they should assist and provide convenience, so they followed him back to the meeting room of the government building.

When Ouyang Lan and the others left, they didn't forget to look at the security uncle at the door, but the "dutiful" security uncle looked embarrassed.

When he came to the living room, Chang Ming asked an older aunt to make tea for everyone. Generally speaking, officials of this status will have a young secretary or assistant to entertain the guests, serving them water and pouring tea.

After making tea, the aunt retreated, Chang Ming saw that everyone was a little surprised, and explained with a smile: "Maybe everyone has been surprised from the beginning of entering the door to the present, the county government building is so small, a county magistrate doesn't even have a decent car, not even a secretary, hehe, because our Ningzhou County belongs to the national poverty county, the economic level is backward, all the expenses can be saved, I hope everyone from the city can understand." ”

Of course, Ouyang Lan and the others will not mind, they were originally here to ask for help, not to be guests, Ouyang Lan said with a smile: "County Magistrate Chang, you have personally received us, which has flattered us, I believe that under your leadership, Ningzhou County will definitely usher in great development." ”

Chang Ming felt a little embarrassed by Ouyang Lan's positive evaluation, after all, the current Ningzhou County is still far from getting rid of the hat of a poor county.

"I hope so, hehe. He smiled modestly with good expectations.

"By the way, you came to Ningzhou County to handle the case, what help do you need from us?" Chang Ming then changed the topic.

Ouyang Lan replied: "We had a homicide case in Jiangxia City two years ago, and the case has not been solved, but our recent investigation found that the murderer may have come to your Ningzhou County to commit a crime, and he came to a cemetery that is being relocated, so we want to ask the demolition and relocation office in charge of the relocation of the cemetery here to learn about the cemetery that was relocated two years ago, and I want to go to the field to investigate." ”

Chang Ming nodded while listening, and after Ouyang Lan finished speaking, he continued: "It is true that we have successively carried out some cemeteries in Ningzhou County in recent years, and this is the responsibility of the Demolition and Relocation Office, so let's call Director He of our Demolition and Relocation Office now." ”

So he took out a Nokia mobile phone and dialed Director He's phone: "Director He, where are you now? Come to the meeting room of the government building, there is something important." ”

Within a few minutes of putting down the phone, Director He of the Demolition and Relocation Office ran in. After stepping through the door, he first greeted the county magistrate: "Hello county magistrate!" and then looked at the strangers and asked, "Who are these people?"

Chang Ming smiled and introduced: "Director He, these are guests from the Municipal Bureau, and they have a case that needs your assistance from Director He." ”

When Director He saw that he was a guest from the city, he put away his eyes and respectfully asked Ouyang Lan, who was sitting closest to the county magistrate: "Oh, it's the police officer of the city bureau, hello everyone, I am He Ping, the director of the Ningzhou County Demolition and Relocation Office, if there is anything you need my help with, please feel free to speak, ahahaha." ”

Director He behaved very generously, he is a middle-aged man in his forties, he has been working in the county government for almost 20 years, and he is currently the deputy director of the county land bureau, responsible for the work of the demolition and relocation office.

Ouyang Lan also said politely: "Don't bother Director He too much, we just need you to help us check some information, I hope Director He can cooperate and help." ”

"Definitely, definitely. Director He sat next to Chang Ming, but his body kept leaning towards Ouyang Lan.

At this time, Chang Ming's mobile phone rang, and after he answered the phone, he said to everyone: "Then Director He, you can entertain everyone well and try to cooperate with their work, I have something to lose first, and when I see the opportunity, I invite everyone to have a meal together." ”

Ouyang Lan hurriedly excused himself and said: "County Magistrate Chang, you go and get busy first, you don't need to eat, and we will go back to the city when we are done." ”

"Hey, you're guests, guests are as you please, haha, then, I'll go first, see you later." Chang Ming got up and waved to Ouyang Lan and the others, picked up his coat and walked out of the living room.

"Then County Magistrate, go slowly!" Ouyang Lan and the others said.

Director He also followed a few steps and said to Chang Ming: "County Magistrate Chang walks slowly!"

After Chang Ming left, Director He felt a lot more comfortable as if he was in his own home. He returned to his seat, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a few and stretched them out in front of Ouyang Lan and the others, and asked, "Come, officers, smoke a cigarette." ”

Ouyang Lan waved his hand to stop: "Director He, we don't smoke, thank you." ”

So Director He stuffed the cigarette in his hand back into the cigarette case, leaving only one in his mouth, and said while holding the lighter: "I am addicted to smoking and like to smoke, I hope you don't mind, ahahaha." ”

Smoking in public, this bad habit made Ouyang Lan's impression and favor of this Director He greatly reduced, but on the surface, she still smiled and said, "Director He, you smoke, we don't mind." ”

Director He thought that everyone really didn't mind, and he swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog leisurely, as if he had forgotten about these guests from the city. And Ouyang Lan lowered her head and secretly put her fingers in front of her nose, and the scene looked very embarrassing for a while.

It was Ouyang Lan who took the initiative to break this situation, she stood up and asked, "Director He, that's the case, we need your side to help us check the information on the relocation of the cemetery two years ago, is it convenient for you?"

Director He, who was enjoying it, was suddenly interrupted by Ouyang Lan, looking a little displeased, but when his eyes swept over Ouyang Lan, he emitted a bright light, he had been immersed in his cigarette before, plus Ouyang Lan was sitting, and now as soon as she stood up, her graceful posture was unobstructed, which made Director He even forget the hot cigarette butt in his hand and looked at Ouyang Lan blankly.

Let this old pervert come to help, Ouyang Lan had a hunch that this trip to Ningzhou would not be so comfortable......
