Zuo Luo communicated with Su Cheng to the leaders of the police station in Dalin Town. The two went to Kaihe Village, and an important reason for them to go to Kaihe Village was to reassure the hanged ghost. At present, in department Z, each group of Z1 has its own relevant area of responsibility, and Z2 and Z3 are wet nurses. It's only that Z7 is like an assassin, his whereabouts are uncertain, and he can't tell what case he is investigating. Assuming that Gao Cheng is a trap, then they will have to go to Kaihe Village even more. The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and the child is reluctant to trap the wolf.

Su Cheng thought in his heart that he was kind to Hua Liang, and he had always been more careful in the secret investigation, and the possibility of hanging the ghost to kill him was still very low. Even if there is a trap, it should be a false accusation or something to get Zoro into trouble, so that he will not renew his contract with the police force when his contract is about to expire. In a way, Su Cheng felt good, and felt that he was able to impress the Hanged Ghost, and the Hanged Ghost might have done it intentionally in order to attract himself.

Kaihe Village is 24 kilometers away from Lin Town, and the road conditions are average. The center of the village is very desolate, there is only one street, and there is a village committee on the street, and then there is the security post of Lin Zhensen's station, which can be called a public security station or a public security station, and the members are a regular police officer and a local auxiliary police. There is also a convenience store on the street, with only two street lights, and it has not been lit for many years. Across the street is the village primary school, which has been closed, and children must go to Linzhen to go to primary school, which is also a big reason for the outflow of young people.

Kaihe Village is a one-stop structure, based on the village road, there are houses on the left and right, there are few households, Su Cheng and Zuo Luo arrived at Kaihe Village at about three o'clock in the afternoon, at this time, occasionally see young people on motorcycles passing by. Some of these young people are neighboring villages dozens of kilometers away from Kaihe Village, and the reason why they come to Kaihe Village to wander around is to find women, and when they see young unmarried women left behind, they will record them and give them to the matchmaker to inquire about and propose marriage. As mentioned earlier, this is a huge problem in rural areas, where girls are reluctant to stay in the countryside and it is difficult for rural boys to gain a foothold in the cities.

The car stopped in front of the Senpai Security Station, and Zuo Luo said: "I called Gao Cheng's wife at two o'clock, and now Gao Cheng's signal location is still at his father-in-law's house." ”

Su Cheng said: "I'm quite entangled in my heart, let's go deep into here, let the hanged ghost rest assured, and make City A's action more certain." But I felt like I shouldn't be here. ”

Zoro said disdainfully: "This is still the world of City A. ”

Getting out of the car at the car door, a very young policeman ran out of the security station while sorting out his uniform, and saw Zuo Luo Lizheng saluting: "Good leader, my name is Luo Kai." ”

The police stationed in the village are like civil servants for poverty alleviation, the working environment is relatively poor, the salary is not high, and the distance from the town is relatively remote, and it is still the object of the outbreak of the main contradictions at the grassroots level. Usually after about three years in the village, they will be transferred to the county or urban area, and new young police officers will take over their work.

"You're welcome, my name is Zoro, this is Su Cheng, we're on the phone. ”

Su Cheng shook hands with Luo Kai, and Luo Kai said nervously: "Sit inside first." ”

Su Cheng and Luo Kai entered the security station, it was very clean, there was a living room outside, next to it was a mediation room, and inside was a kitchenette, toilet and bedroom. Luo Kai prepared boiling water and invited the two of them to sit down and make tea: "There are two security monitors in the village, one in the east of the village and one in the west of the village. "The monitor is a laptop that sits right on a coffee table.

Zuo Luo took out his computer, enlarged the map, and pointed to the location of Gao Cheng's father-in-law's house: "If he wants to leave, does he have to pass through the village?"

"You have to go through the village, unless you walk a few days into the mountains. Luo Kai introduced: "After leaving the village, one is the road to the town, and the other is the road to the cement factory that was abandoned in the early years. After leaving the village, walk five kilometers towards Lin Town, which is the road to the neighboring village. It was almost until Lin Town that there was another fork in the road to the next township. Leadership ......"

"Just call me by name. ”

"Ah...... Well, Team Left, why don't you just send someone to arrest you?" Luo Kai asked.

"Gao Cheng has been a policeman for many years, and he is good at wilderness pursuit, and has a fairly strong ability to survive in the wilderness. Behind Gao Cheng's father-in-law's house is the mountain, and it is difficult to make a nest in the mountain. There's no way he's going to send a lot of police here. ”

Luo Kai nodded, and Su Cheng asked, "Is the village safe?"

Luo Kai smiled bitterly: "There is no better, there are fewer people, and before the festival, the young people can count them with a slap." There is no industry in the local area, most of them are terraced fields, and the farmland is not cultivated. The old man grows some tobacco leaves, or simply rents out the field and exchanges it for rice every year. ”

"Is anyone contracted?"

"A year ago, there was a husband and wife contracting, but this year they went to Offshore County, which is flat and they can work mechanically. No way, in this kind of remote mountain village, the land is not valuable. Fortunately, some elderly people are used to farm work, and they can grow vegetables and the like when they have nothing to do. Everyone has heard that the city hall plans to withdraw 30% of the rural areas to the townships, including Kaihe Village. That's how everyone waited...... In terms of law and order, there are occasional quarrels and the like, which is lifeless. Luo Kai shook his head helplessly.

Zoro asked, "How ...... your life is?"

"Lin Zhen will ask the villagers to bring me some daily necessities, and every day I run from the street to the end of the street...... To be honest, if I have to stay for three years, I will be scared for a month. Luo Kai said: "During the New Year, there are more people who return to the village during the festival, and the Lin Town Office will also send a patrol car over, but in fact, I have nothing to do." ”

Hehe, this is a young policeman who fantasizes about stimulating the life of the police, maybe he doesn't have too many fantasies, but the too plain life also makes it difficult for him to accept. A young patrol officer like Qi Ming, at least in a city full of lights, sees people every day, and encounters different things. And here it is boring, boring, idle, lifeless.

Luo Kai introduced that there is no one in the village committee at all, the village chief himself works in Lin Town, and it is rare for the villagers to encounter some disputes every day, and they all find the security office, and Luo Kai is also very concerned about trivial things, because there is nothing else. After five o'clock on this street, the owner of the convenience store went home, and only the lights of the police were left. The nearest manned house to the street is also three hundred meters away.

Luo Kai estimated that he rarely talked to people, and talked a lot, he said that he was still very enthusiastic when he graduated, and he also fantasized that there were simple and beautiful girls in Kaihe Village, in fact, even girls over six years old and under forty years old were extremely rare. There is also an auxiliary policeman, a 63-year-old man, who not only serves as an auxiliary policeman, but is also hired by the village committee to undertake the cleaning work of the village streets, cleaning once a week, and cleaning the public security station once every few days.

"In fact, the permanent population of Kaihe Village will not exceed 60 households and 100 people. Ninety percent are elderly or with a preschool child. There are also several cases like Gao Cheng, local tyrants, who built houses for the elderly to enjoy, and the family also hired nannies to take care of the elderly. The elderly are also reluctant to go to the city, lonely and lonely, and there is no one to chat with in a community. Here, at least everyone will go to the door to make tea and chatter. ”

Zuo Luo looked at the computer and said, "What entertainment do you have every day?"

"Entertainment...... In the second half of last year, after the network had problems, it has not been repaired until now. If it weren't for the city hall's regulations that the base station must be built with full coverage, I don't think there would even be a mobile phone signal. Entertainment can only be playing stand-alone games, running, doing push-ups, and riding a small electric donkey around. ”

Luo Kai complained a lot, Zuo Luo and Su Cheng could understand, if they didn't talk about this kind of place for three years, they couldn't stand it for a month. In fact, it is difficult for people who are accustomed to the convenience of city life to live in this kind of place for a long time. After all, humans are social animals.

At this time, thunder was faintly heard, and Zoro stood up and walked to the door to look at the west, and there was a burning cloud, and said, "It's going to rain tonight." ”

"The weather forecast didn't say rain. "Su Cheng took the mobile phone, the network is still a little, Luo Kai said that there is no network refers to optical drilling, not 4G.

Zoro looked at the elementary school opposite, a very beautiful elementary school: "When was the primary school removed?"

"I heard that the year before last, three teachers, two students, and the last student graduated from the sixth grade, and the teacher was transferred to Linyuan County. ”

While talking, a motorcycle brushed to the door of the security station, and a female rider supported the motorcycle with one foot, took off her helmet, threw off her hair and said: "Luo Kai, dare to release my pigeon, give me out." ”

Luo Kai hurriedly came out and introduced: "Her name is Lin Lili. ”

Lin Lili may be the only young woman in the village recently, Lin Lili is a senior majoring in botanical gardening at University A, and in order to write her graduation thesis, she has come to Kaihe Village two or three times, preparing to patrol the mountains with the Sen faction. But considering that she is young and beautiful, she can only go around the periphery of the mountains when she only goes to Kaihe Village. I come once every two months, and every time I will pull Luo Kai into the mountain together. Luo Kai introduced, and finally said very lonely: "This is the last time Lili enters the mountain." ”

"Who are they?" Lin Lili looked at Zuo Luo and Su Cheng.

Luo Kai was about to introduce him, but Su Cheng spoke first: "The Academic Affairs Office of the Police University will visit the graduates today to understand and investigate the situation of the graduates. ”

"Hello, it's been a lively day. Lin Lili took a small bag from the trunk of the motorcycle: "This is given to me by the patrol, you can Ah Luo Kai, release my pigeons." ”

Luo Kai explained: "Someone from the school, I didn't get through to your phone." ”

Su Cheng looked at the bag, it was full of bitter vegetables, all of which were sprouts, this thing was a good thing. Bitter herbs are different from the plants called bitter herbs in other places, the bitter herbs here have a leg flavor when cooked, and they are also bitter to eat, and they will be much better after blanching, and they are usually boiled together with large bones, ribs, etc. The soup is very refreshing. After drying and then boiling the soup, the bitterness basically dissipates, and it has a unique flavor.

Lin Lili asked, "Is there still meat in the refrigerator?"

"There are also a few keels. ”

"Okay, you have guests, I'll cook today. ”

Lin Lili was busy, Su Cheng was a little curious, and Luo Kai was busy explaining that it was not what Su Cheng thought. He and Lin Lili are not very familiar with each other, this girl loves to play, and she is not very interested in the plants themselves, but she can't graduate without submitting her thesis, she has been staying for a year, and she really can't go into the mountain this year. I have only gotten along with Luo Kai three times, and each time Luo Kai accompanied Lin Lili to collect plant information on the periphery of the mountain at the request of the patrol team. With the development of modern technology, it is also easy to collect information, install a hidden camera to point at the plant, and then rely on these images to write your own unique paper, and finally pray that it will pass. And as far as Luo Kai is concerned, Lin Lili doesn't care about the paper at all, and it seems that she came to Kaihe Village for a vacation.

Of the three times Lin Lili came, the last time she brought a sleeping bag to live in the living room of the security station, and she didn't plan to go back to Lin Town today. Luo Kai didn't spend any money, receiving Lin Lili was official business, and it would be too much if something happened. Luo Kai is polite and polite to Lin Lili every time, but Lin Lili is very casual. However, Luo Kai himself said that Lin Lili was mostly listening to her complaints and complaints. Lin Lili was willing to stay in the living room for one night, more to comfort Luo Kai and make him feel less lonely.

"The water is out. Lin Lili shouted.

"There is water in the cistern. "Water and electricity outages are commonplace.

Zoro answered the phone: "Hey...... Okay, yes, got it. ”

Zuo Luo hung up the phone: "His wife called back to the town police station, saying that she happened to go back to Lin Town to buy something after dinner, and she would arrive at the town office at about nine or ten o'clock." ”

Su Cheng asked: "When I go to Lin Zhen after dinner, I understand that I want to purchase things." But why do you have to go to the police station that night? Can't you find a hotel to rest and go to the police station tomorrow morning?"

"yes, it's kind of weird. Zoro asked: "Does it feel wrong, want to run, delay the army?"

Luo Kai said in a low voice: "The road is ten meters away in front of us, and there are monitors in the east and west of the village. "In front of the police station is the street, the street used to be a rural road, and about ten meters past the rural road is an abandoned elementary school.

Zoro nodded and said, "Can I park my car?"

Luo Kai said: "Pour directly into this room, and the side door is connected to our mediation room." "Next door is the village council, with roller shutters installed, not locked. This was supposed to be the reception office of the village committee, a place to go through all kinds of certification procedures, but now there is no one, even things, and it is empty.

Zuo Luo got into the car, reversed the car into it, got out of the car and said to Luo Kai: "After dinner, we will rest in the car today, don't worry about us." ”

"Good. Luo Kai is not polite, there is only a small bed, sleeping in the living room is not as good as sleeping in the car, at least there are soft cushions on the car.

At this time, the convenience store more than ten meters away was closed, and the boss was an old man with bad legs, limping slowly, nodding to everyone, and Luo Kai said a few polite words, and walked slowly towards the west. Su Cheng walked to the middle of the street and looked left and right: "How many of us are alive on this street now?" There was not a single motorcycle passing by on the road for half an hour, and there were no pedestrians or cars passing by.

Luo Kai smiled bitterly: "In the summer, I sleep on the street with a straw mat and light two plates of mosquito coils, which is very cool." ”

Drinking tea, smoking, and chatting, the sky gradually darkened, and the visibility was already low around five o'clock, and the sky began to fall raindrops. Lin Lili's meal was also ready, and on the coffee table in the living room, she looked at Luo Kai's charging laptop: "Is it that the school is so desperate to check and monitor?"

Luo Kai smiled helplessly, Lin Lili stuck out her tongue, and seemed to feel that what she said was inappropriate, and beckoned: "It's time to eat, one dish and one soup." ”

"Got it, thank you. Outside the door, Su Cheng looked at the dark surroundings and said to Zuo Luo beside him: "I don't feel safe." ”

Zoro asked, "Scared?"

"Kaihe Village is much more secluded than I thought. With my last name, I'd suggest going back to Lynn right now, but the big bets are being made over there, so it's better for us to stay here. ”
