There was an intermittent hallucinatory chirp around the stilt house, like insects and water, but it was hard to distinguish between the heavy rain. After listening carefully for a while, this sound disappeared without a trace, and other than that, there was no abnormality, Li Tianchou decided not to delay any longer, he quickly stepped over the bamboo plank, and rushed into the hut like lightning.

The condition inside the house was about the same as he had estimated, with only one sentry, and it slept so dead that his face was drooling. Without the expected tension and danger, Li Tianchou breathed a sigh of relief, and when he inspected the hut, he found that under the wall on the side of the pond, there were two strange steel shelves, one on the left and one on the right, and each iron frame had iron chains drooping out, reaching out of the low bamboo window, and the situation looked like a wheel.

Outside the bamboo window, a half-meter-long platform protrudes from the lower position, and there are also two steel frames connected to the iron chain, and the long iron chain extends all the way to the pond.

Looking down through the bamboo window, there is a black thing at the junction between the water surface of the pond and the iron chain, which is creepy. Li Tianchou's heart moved, he stretched out his hand and tried to turn the crank on one of the steel frames, but there was a click, click, click, and then looked at the pond, the black thing came out of the water, and seemed to have become bigger, like an iron cage.

Then, the chirping sound that I had just heard in front of the stilt house suddenly appeared, and it turned out to be the howl of a human being! It was only because the other party's strength was limited and his throat was hoarse, so he could not make a louder sound.

Li Tianchou was taken aback, turned his head to observe the soldiers around him again, this guy actually reached out and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, as if he was about to wake up. Li Tianchou simply patted the other party's face, and the moment he opened his eyes, he smashed it down with a hard punch and made him completely faint.

Without any worries, Li Tianchou quickly turned the handle, and an iron cage about seventy centimeters high and less than thirty centimeters in length and width jumped out of the water, and there was indeed a person inside. I don't have time to think about it, I'm afraid that the other reel is in the same situation, after he quickly pulled the other iron cage out of the water, judging the shape of the body inside, it should be Old Man Pan, but at this moment the other party is silent, could it be that he can't hold it anymore and hangs up?

Li Tianchou rummaged through the pockets of the soldiers beside him, found a bunch of keys, and jumped into the pond to save people without hesitation.

The water in the pond was not deep, at most it was chest-topping, but because of the heavy rain, the water level should be much higher than usual, so that the negligent sentry would take into account the life and death of the 'prisoners' below, and when the water level was not high, the people in the iron cage would be drowned.

The pond was full of mud and aquatic weeds, and Li Tianchou had to work hard, and by the time he dragged them both to the shore, he was already exhausted and out of breath.

Pan Lao's physical fitness is good, after being rescued by continuous chest pressing, he actually relieved himself, and began to vomit after a violent cough, which is also considered his life, if Li Tianchou finds him a little later, it is estimated that he will really hang up.

The other person was not Lang Luo, chubby, about forty years old, he had no worries about life, but his body was a little weak, and he was swollen with blisters, and after being slapped several times, he finally stopped wailing.

Looking at the two people in front of him who were about to die, Li Tianchou was quite depressed, and it was extremely reluctant to take Lao Pan through the mountains and forests, and he would not be able to die if he had another burden? But to throw this person here and leave him to fend for himself, he was a little unbearable.

Li Tianchou also knew that as an independent field officer, this kind of thinking of a little woman's kindness in the execution of a mission was often fatal, and the instructor had sternly warned him earlier, but he still thought about it for half a minute now.

"Take me out, I know there's a path out of here. The middle-aged fat man suddenly spoke, and he actually spoke in Chinese, and he was concise and to the point, hitting the point.

"In what direction did the path lead?"

"Go Mo, go Mo. As long as you cross the mountain, you can go straight to it. The middle-aged man was apprehensive, but clearly saw hope.

"Are you sure you can walk?" Li Tianchou stared at the chubby middle-aged man in front of him, his mind didn't turn around for a while, but he felt that this person was not as simple as it seemed.

"Rest assured, I promise not to drag you down. ”

Li Tianchou glanced at the other party meaningfully, and stretched out his hand to pick up Pan Lao, "Then, lead the way." But one thing, if you fall behind halfway, you can only resign yourself to fate. ”

The middle-aged man was overjoyed and struggled to get up from the ground, but because he had been soaked in water for too long, he staggered and fell to the ground with a thud.

Li Tianchou observed this person coldly, and did not mean to reach out to help, the other party was ruthless enough, stood up continuously, and fell down continuously, as if he was finally able to stand firm several times, his face was covered with mud soup and blood, and he was stunned.

The middle-aged man shook like a fat duck and walked in the front, Li Tianchou supported Pan Lao and followed closely, and the group of three quickly disappeared into the mountains through the rain curtain.

......

The task force came with good news, and the boss of the carpentry factory, who was about to run away under the pretext of a business trip, was arrested. On the one hand, Director Xiao ordered Cui Gang and Hao Kecheng to immediately conduct a surprise interrogation of this person, and at the same time arranged for people to keep an eye on the Bai family, since they had already torn their faces, they should not be taken into account.

As for several key employees of the wood factory headed by Lao Lai, Xu Wen arranged for them to be watched, and in order to prevent accidents, Gu Jian's field team also participated in the cooperation.

"Tell me, there's no ghost in your heart, what are you running?" Cui Gang puffed out a puff of smoke, the small interrogation room was already covered with clouds, he and Hao Kecheng were smoking guns, and Xiao Li, who was temporarily acting as a clerk, picked up a cigarette and snorted wildly without scruples in order to refresh himself. smoked the money boss to tears.

"Leader, this is wronged, after the Kunhe incident, I was going to participate in the Canton Fair, but then I heard that there was something wrong with Pingxiang's business, so I temporarily changed my plan......" Boss Qian shouted wronged, but a pair of small black eyes turned around above the fat face, and at a glance, he knew that this person was extremely sophisticated.

"What business are you doing in Pingxiang, and what's going on?"

"The old three, jade jewelry, and the artistic processing of precious wood. Boss Qian held his glasses with his hand, "A batch of pineapple wood that has just been shipped over has been dropped, and I was about to rush to see what the situation is, when I was brought here by you." ”

"Yo drink, it's really expensive enough, Boss Qian's business is big enough. The goods were dropped, why didn't you report the case as soon as possible? You ran over by yourself, could it be that there was something that could not be seen?" Cui Gang took every step of the way.

"Where's it? Isn't it in a hurry, I haven't had time to report the crime. A small business, I can't afford to lose it. ”

"Since you're in a hurry, you still have so many belongings along the way?

"I can't help it, I can't still be halfway, right?"

"Stop acting, Boss Qian. As far as I know, your wife and children have arrived in Pingxiang at this time, and if nothing else, they will return to Kunhe with our colleagues in the task force that night, and you will be able to meet them tomorrow. ”

"What, what are you doing here?" Boss Qian exclaimed, stood up suddenly, suddenly realized that he was too out of shape, and immediately sat back down, and seemed to regain his composure after a little respite, "What's wrong with my family?"

"This should be asked to yourself, your family and you are in Pingxiang, but you can't say where you want to go? It just so happens that I have another itinerary of yours in hand, leaving from Pingxiang, detouring through Vietnam to Thailand, you are really bold and careful, how about it, do you want me to give Niannian?"

Boss Qian's face turned pale in an instant, his hands kept rubbing each other, and there were fine beads of sweat on his chubby face.

"It's useless to pretend to be dumb, Qian Fukun, you are also a very experienced businessman, are you happy to be sold and help count the money?"

Boss Qian was still silent, but a pair of eyes moving around finally settled down, and his fat head gradually lowered.

"Let's call a spade a spade, put the shit off your ass for now. Let's talk about the woodware factory, why did you want to buy Bai Shiqing's woodware factory two years ago? ”

.........

"It's okay not to say it, after squatting here for 48 hours, we will hand you over to the anti-narcotics brigade. Cui Gang sneered and lit another cigarette. Fighting snakes and beating seven inches, I have been a criminal police officer for most of my life, what kind of criminal has not seen it? Boss Qian is too small a dish.

"Actually, it's not that I want to buy this factory, it's the Bai family who insists on selling it to me. Boss Qian helped his glasses and begged for a drink, and then told the story of the transfer of the wood factory two years ago.

At that time, Bai Shiqing personally found him to chat, and talked about his old age, lack of energy, and wanted to transfer the woodware factory out, and only Boss Qian was the right person to take over in the town, so he was cheeky to talk. For Qian Fukun, the carpentry factory is at best a township handicraft workshop, and although the business overlaps with the business project at hand, he really doesn't like this small factory.

How can Bai Shiqing be infatuated, he himself is also well-known in the art of root carving, but it is conducive to the rapid integration of the business at hand with the carpentry factory, and most of the products are sold to the tourism market, the profit is guaranteed, and it is not a loss-making business, so Qian Fukun was moved, and there was a formal transfer later.

"Doesn't the Bai family have descendants to inherit this inheritance?"

"Yes, how not. But his eldest son didn't want to do this business at all, and his daughter and youngest son Lao Bai couldn't look down on it, so in order to prevent the wood factory from closing down, he had the idea of transferring. ”

"But you failed Bai Shiqing. Hao Kecheng suddenly interjected coldly.

Boss Qian looked stunned, and then shook his head with a wry smile, "No way, the business in hand is too miscellaneous, too busy, and I can't spare too much energy for the operation of the factory." ”

"Oh, even if the factory is closed, the town won't have time to notify you to talk?"

"Not what you think, officer. I was so busy, I was still in Kunhe when I received a call from the town, and it was night, so I ......"

"So you're ready to run, aren't you?"

"Officer, you can't say that, I didn't do anything wrong, why should I run away? And there is always a first come, first come, first priority, right? In Kunhe, there are big customers who cannot be offended, and I have also planned the Canton Fair in advance, and there are emergencies, I really have no skills. Unexpectedly, being stimulated by Cui Gang, Boss Qian turned into a real fire, twisted his neck and poured out a lot of bitter water, which seemed to be sincere and pitiful, but on the whole, it gave people the feeling that he was avoiding the important and light.
