Chapter 17: Chasing the Murderer in the Middle of the Night
The scene was extremely quiet, and after five minutes of silence, Xiangbei suddenly came back to his senses, asked the three of them some specific details, and carefully checked and checked the content, date, and payment of each material of the land acquisition project in Luohe Village.
Every link is legal and compliant, and no mistakes have been found.
"Thank you very much, Bureau Lee, the material is very informative. Also, can I take some pictures of a few documents?"
"This ...... To reporters, just take pictures, these are all internal materials......" Li Shaoxiang looked embarrassed.
"Well, understandable, don't embarrass you......"
After the interview, Sun Xingjian left with the three of them.
Xiang Bei and Luo Fangyi returned to the Xiang North room one after the other.
Luo Fangyi gently closed the door and tiptoed to the north.
"Master. ”
Turning to the north, Luo Fangyi smiled, looking mysterious. To the north, I don't understand.
"What's so happy? Winning the lottery?"
Luo Xiaojuan raised her phone and shook it twice, "I took a picture, hehe." ”
"What? You took the picture, when did you take it?!" Xiang Bei was a little surprised.
"It's just that when you're all busy, I think the materials are too boring, so I take pictures with them. ”
"Can you talk well?"
"I took it quietly when you were discussing things. Luo Fangyi returned to seriousness, "There's that 'land requisition notice', uh...... There is also the ...... of 'proof of waiver of hearing'"
Luo Fangyi took out his mobile phone and flipped through the photos page by page.
"Great, you're pretty clever. Overjoyed, he sat down at his computer, turned on the Wi-Fi, and connected his phone to the computer.
"You send me a copy of the photo, I'll keep it, and you can back it up. These photos are very important to our manuscripts. ”
Although Xiangbei has always despised this kind of candid filming, sometimes there is no way, if reporters follow the routine, abide by the rules, and everything is on the bright side, how can there be those black-hearted workshops and five-cent snacks exposed at the "315" party?
"In addition, let's divide the labor and sort out today's interview, and we should be able to write a manuscript. ”
"Okay!" Luo Fangyi was just about to turn around and leave, when he remembered something, "Master, give!"
"And the materials?" Xiang Bei turned around and stared at the paper bag in Luo Fangyi's hand, "What is this? ”
"I'm funny, but I'm not stupid, haha, I don't dare to do that. This is coffee, for you! When you want to smoke in the future, just have a cup of coffee, hehe, I can supply it for a long time. ”
Xiangbei scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
Luo Fangyi returned to the room and quickly put himself into work and sorted out the interview materials.
Xiangbei has also prepared the title of the draft: The Land Acquisition Contradiction Behind the Arson Case in Luohe Village.
"It has been a few days since the Luohe '11.23' arson case, and the reporter learned during the investigation of Luohe Village, Xincheng Street, where the incident occurred, that the contradiction of land requisition reflected behind the case needs to be solved urgently......
At one o'clock in the middle of the night, Xiangbei basically completed the first draft, sprinkled with more than 2,000 words, and the manuscript just gave answers to several key questions that he had sorted out before:
1. What is the relationship between the "11.23 Luohe Arson Case" and the local land acquisition project?
2. Is the land acquisition project legal and whether there are sound procedures?
3. Is there any compensation of tens of millions of yuan mentioned by Luo Rufeng, and has this money been distributed to the villagers?
However, the fourth question remains unanswered: Is there an exchange of interests between Xu Changlin, director of the village committee, and the developer, and does it have anything to do with the "Luohe arson case"?
Xiangbei passed through the distribution system of Beijiang Evening News, checked for typos, and saved it as a draft after confirming that it was correct.
He breathed a sigh of relief when the task was completed, but he was not satisfied with the draft, after all, there were still some doubts that had not been answered. Xiangbei knocked them out on the computer:
1. The materials provided by the land department of Hedong City show that after the approval of the land acquisition project, it was publicized in Luohe Village as soon as possible. But why do many villagers say they don't know, and it doesn't look like they're lying?
2. The "waiver of the hearing" shows that the land department has passed on the compensation plan for land acquisition to the sub-district and village level, but the villagers insist that they did not know about the compensation plan before, so how did this waiver hearing certificate come about?
Land Department ...... Xu Changlin...... Villager......
Which side is lying, who is hiding the truth, and why is hiding the truth?
To the north, it was found that all of these questions point to a key figure: Xu Changlin. From the preparation to the implementation of the whole project, it is inseparable from the central link of the Luohe Village Committee. Without the materials provided by the village director, Xu Changlin, the land acquisition project would not have been able to proceed so smoothly to this day.
What role did Xu Changlin play in this? Xiang Bei suddenly had a bold idea: Could it be that these are all fake materials fabricated by Xu Changlin? If this is the case, it will be another explosive news.
Buckled to the computer to the north, and did not put the manuscript into the warehouse. There are still many details to be scrutinized and verified in this manuscript. If it is sent out like this, it will be a reporting accident, and neither he nor the editor-in-chief's office can afford it.
However, the investigation is becoming more and more difficult, and there are more and more clues!
With a thousand thoughts lingering in my mind, I lit a cigarette to the north. After a day of rapid brain work, he had become stuttering, and he needed to clear his cache with a cigarette.
Halfway through smoking, he saw the paper bag placed in the corner of the table, Xiang Bei remembered something, snuffed out the cigarette, and took out a bag of coffee from the paper bag.
How did they find Xu Changlin? Even the villagers didn't know where he had gone.
It was already the middle of the night, and even though Xiangbei was used to staying up late, his eyelids still didn't listen to the command and began to "fight".
Forget it, go to sleep, and think about it tomorrow.
Leaning north on the bed, he took out his phone to read the news. He likes to look at his phone for a while before going to bed, just like taking a walk after a meal. Ten minutes later, sleepiness hit and Xiang Bei closed his eyes.
Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door.
"Who?" asked Xiangbei alertly as he was woken up in his sleep.
"It's me, Master. ”
"It's so late, what's the matter?"
"You open the door first!"
Get up to the north, put on your coat, and open the door.
"Master, look. Luo Fangyi handed the phone to Xiangbei.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, Xiang Peking University was surprised: before dawn, Xu Changlin went home to pack his luggage.
Seeing this message, Xiang Bei jumped away: "Who sent you this message?"
"It's Fat Winter".
"Reliable information?"
"I don't know. However, according to my understanding of Fat Dong, this person may be reliable. ”
Looking north at the time, it was now half past one, if the news was reliable, after a while, Xu Changlin would go home.
"Let's go!" put on his coat to the north. Now there is no time to care who the other party is, and there is no time to verify the authenticity of the message. We must rush to Luohe Village as soon as possible!
However, Xiang Bei was still hesitant to let Luo Fangyi participate in this operation, after all, it was so late, and there was still danger. For a journalist, this kind of experience is the most memorable, at least to make her realize that the interview is not simply a dinner party.
"How about it, do you want to go to Luohe Village with me?"
"No problem, Master. This news made Luo Fangyi excited, and he didn't feel sleepy.
"I'm telling you, Xiao Luo, this is not a game, it's dangerous, you have to be mentally prepared. ”
"Don't worry, Master. I'm not a kid anymore. ”
This girl, who said she was a child at dinner yesterday, now denies it. Woman's face, April day.
Although he hides his feelings, Xiangbei is actually just as excited, and in his opinion, this is the most exciting moment of his career as a journalist.
The two hurriedly packed up and prepared to close the door and leave.
"Wait. Xiang Bei remembered something again, and found a flashlight in the closet behind the door.
The two rushed to Luohe Village. The whole village was dark, and there was not a single light or shadow.
Xiang Xiang parked the car near Xu Changlin's residence, turned off the lights and air conditioning, and a thin layer of ice ballast quickly formed on the window.
In Luohe Village in winter, there are no cicadas and frogs, and the atmosphere is unusually quiet and weird. The two of them sat in the car, the windows rolled down halfway. I don't know how long it took, but the two of them dozed off.
"Master, wake up, it looks like someone is coming!" Luo Fangyi shook Xiang Bei, who was already asleep, awake.
Xiang Bei lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked closely at the Li family, there was a figure at the door, which seemed to be opening the door.
"It's Xu Changlin?!"
Neither of them was sure, after all, they had only heard of this person and had never met before.
Quietly opening the car door to the north, the cat approached the black shadow with its footsteps.
"Xu Changlin!" shouted to Peking University.
The voice was so sudden that even Luo Fangyi was startled, not to mention the black shadow.
The other party stood at the door, stunned, still holding the key in his hand. Just a few seconds later, the two erupted at the same time, running in different directions.
The dark shadow instinctively ran towards the small alley next to it, chasing it to the north.
Luo Fangyi also reacted and followed closely to the north.
"Luo Fangyi, go back to the car! Don't mess with me!" chased the black shadow north, turning the flashlight to the rear from time to time. The night is too dark, don't be dropped by this girl!
"I don't, you don't have to worry about me, chase him quickly. 2:1, we're more than anyone else!"
The three of them didn't know how many alleys they had borrowed. Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from the dark shadow, he couldn't care about Luo Fangyi to the north, took a flashlight, swayed and shone the road under his feet, and ran forward desperately.
"Xu Changlin, don't be afraid, I'm not a policeman, and I'm not a person on the road, I just want to ask you about the situation. "Explain to the north side chasing the side.
"I don't care who you are! I have no grievances with you, don't trouble me!"
"What are you afraid of? Does this fire have anything to do with you, did you instruct someone to do it?" Xiang Bei seized every minute and second, digging out information from the other party's mouth.
"I said I didn't do it, can you believe it?"
"You didn't do it, what are you running for?"
This sentence is really good, and the other party actually stopped.
To the north did not continue to chase. The two of them were there, panting.
"Xu Changlin, listen to me, I have been investigating the matter of Luohe Village, and there are many doubts in it, only you can answer it......"
"What do you want to know?"
"Have you falsified the documents for land acquisition in Luohe Village?" Xiang Bei was just about to untie his coat and let the bone-chilling wind cool him down and wipe his sweat.
The other party actually ran away again, like a frightened trapped beast, regardless of direction......
