This mass incident lasted for more than 30 minutes, and after the police arrived at the police station, the villagers dispersed one after another.

Because no one was injured in this brawl, and no major property damage was caused.

After mediation at the police station, the two sides shook hands and made peace.

Lin Yan'er's mobile phone was smashed during the brawl, and Lin Yan'er was responsible for this loss, and the other party's vehicle was also responsible for the different degrees of scratches.

This way of dealing with it is a bit like playing fifty boards each, although both sides are a little uncomfortable in their hearts, but they also say it on the surface.

It seems that a storm should die down like this.

On the way back to the station, a colleague who came to deal with the police situation said to me, "Do you know who you offended?"

I couldn't sit still: "Don't get me wrong, they blocked the road and beat us, not that we offended them, okay?"

"No matter who of you offends, the person you have formed this time is the village chief of Zhaoxi Village. ”

The policeman said.

I was stunned for a moment: "Those gangsters, they are the village chief, what are you kidding?"

"The man named Ergouzi is the son of the village chief. ”

My colleague Xiaolin explained, and I sneered: "What's wrong with the son of the village director? Like them, virtue is a village bully, we are public security officers, how can we let the village bully run rampant in the township and prey on the people?"

I argued with Xiaolin with reason, and Yang Jiaqiang, the deputy director who was sitting in the front row, said: "Come on, it's endless, right, you have nothing to pretend to be a reporter, causing misunderstanding to the villagers, and people think you are reporters so they besiege you...... What kind of village overlord landlord will not say this kind of thing in the future, and don't go online on the platform for a little thing. ”

I'm a little strange, what's wrong with them, the wronged people are me and Lin Yan'er, why are they talking to the villagers?

Could it be that the villagers are all vulnerable groups in the subconscious, and it is not wrong for the disadvantaged groups to make mistakes?

Lin Yan'er sat in the car without saying a word, silently looking out the window, as if our argument had nothing to do with her.

Although she didn't speak, judging from her performance in the fight against the hooligans today, I still have to be impressed by this police flower.

She shot cleanly, and it can be seen from her skills that the fighting skills she practiced in the police academy were definitely not ordinary.

When I got back to the office, I went to the director's office.

The director said to me: "Comrade Bai Xiaotian, I believe you yourself should know very well how big this matter is today, right?"

"Director, I accept any kind of punishment, I only hope that you will approve me to return to Xicun, I still have work to complete. ”

I said my thoughts directly, but the director said, "You don't need to do the work in Zhaoxi Village, because the situation there is complicated, and I must be responsible for your safety." ”

"But who is responsible for their lives or deaths?"

I slapped the materials I had brought back from the parents of the missing children on the director's desk and said to the director: "These parents, who have been looking for their children for so many years, have found that many of them have gone bankrupt and ruined, but we, the public servants of the people, have given them a reply? Have we told them that their children have secretly gone out to work?"

I stalked my neck and reasoned with my director, although I knew that my current attitude was very bad, and I should not have this attitude towards my superiors.

But these words are like a fire hidden in my heart, and if I don't say it, this fire will burn me to ashes.

The director said: "Comrade Xiaotian, you calm down, in fact, there is a basis for the statement that they went out to work, because there is a bus stop near the missing place, and there are cars running at that bus stop late at night, and the children are missing near the bus stop, most of them can also be contacted by the bus stop......

"Jiang Suo, if your own child is missing, I will tell you such a reason, do you believe it?"

I sneered and asked, Director Jiang was shocked when he heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he said sharply: "Comrade Bai Xiaotian, please pay attention to the way you speak, no matter what I say, I will be your leader!"

The atmosphere instantly seemed to freeze, we looked at each other, no one let anyone, at this time a data clerk opened the door to send the information in, saw the scene of the scene, frightened tongue sticking out, and hurriedly quietly retreated.

Looking at the time, it was already late at night, and suddenly my mobile phone rang, I picked up the mobile phone, and Director Jiang asked, "Who called?"

"One witness, his friend is also missing. ”

I stared at my phone, it was a call from Liu Fei, I left my number to him during the day, and told him that there were any clues to contact me, but I didn't expect him to call me at night.

Director Jiang had a gloomy face: "Answer the phone, turn on the speakerphone." ”

I turned on the speakerphone, and Liu Fei said to me mysteriously on the phone: "Reporter Bai, I'm going to do a big thing tonight, do you know, I found that in the woods where Qi Wei disappeared, there was a person wandering, I didn't know what he was going to do, so I followed." ”

Director Jiang and I both sat up straight, held our breath, and I asked, "Liu Fei, are you alone now?" If it is a person, where should you leave quickly, don't act without permission, because it is dangerous. ”

Liu Fei was panting on the phone, and he seemed to be a little scared, but he still said: "I am indeed a person, to be honest, I am really a little scared, but I can't care so much, because this may be the best opportunity." ”

Director Jiang and I glanced at each other, Director Jiang stood up, found the location of Zhaoxi Village on the map of Nanxiang, he drew a circle with a red pen, and said to me in a low voice: "The office is 13 kilometers away from Zhaoxi Village, and most of them are rugged mountain roads. ”

"So if something happens, we won't be able to support it quickly. ”

I added, Director Jiang nodded with a deep brow, and said to me, "You try to stop him as much as possible, and don't let him put himself in danger." ”

I hurriedly asked loudly on the phone, "Liu Fei, are you here, are you listening to the phone?"

"I'm in the white reporter, I'm in the woods now, the woods are so dark, I'm so scared!"

Liu Fei's trembling voice came, and I hurriedly said: "If you are afraid, leave quickly, don't be angry with yourself, it is a dangerous place, you can't joke with your own life." ”

"I know, I'm joking with my life, but there's no way, Qi Wei's parents are about to come to the construction site, I can't explain to them, oops......"

Liu Fei finally let out a miserable scream, my heart rose to my throat, and I hurriedly asked urgently into the phone: "Liu Fei, ...... you"

"Reporter Bai, I was attacked, my head hurts, and there is a lot of blood...... Damn...... Help me...... Save ......"

There was a crackling scuffle on the phone, accompanied by Liu Fei's screams, and in half a minute, Liu Fei's desperate and miserable screams seemed to break through the telephone receiver and burst out......

Director Jiang slumped into his chair, stared at his phone in a daze, and said in a lost voice: "We watched a life being killed, and there was nothing we could do, right?"

I trembled, clenched my fists, slowly stood up, and when I turned around, Director Jiang asked me, "Where are you going?"

"Tenishi Village, I must catch that demon!"

As expected, Liu Fei also disappeared.

When we arrived at Zhaoxi Village, Liu Fei's phone had been turned off.

At my repeated requests, the police officers from the police station accompanied me to the strange woods, and we investigated the scene overnight.

However, nothing came of it.

The woods are still woods, quiet, nothing has changed.

Even, there are no traces of face fighting.

The grass in the woods is already very thick, but now that it is the height of summer, the grass in the forest seems to be more and more vigorous.

Staring at the grass forest without a trace of destruction, I was a little puzzled, could it be that Liu Fei told me when he had an accident was not here?

The other two colleagues couldn't find any clues, so they began to mumble: "In the middle of the night, no one called the police, and you called us here, aren't you tossing people?"

I opened my mouth, not knowing what to say.

Because I have no evidence to prove that Liu Fei had an accident, I just relied on a phone call from Liu Fei to pull my colleagues out of the bed overnight, and now I can't find any clues, obviously, I have already lost money.

I hurriedly apologized to the two of them and said that I would invite them to supper, but they decisively refused.

The next day, Lin Yan'er and I went to Zhaoxi Village to investigate, and on a hot day, we were wearing nearly 30 kilograms of body armor and a coat outside.

As soon as I arrived in the village, I grabbed an aunt holding a cabbage and asked her, "Auntie, are there any people in the village who have behaved abnormally recently?"

She looked at me nervously, and tightened her hand holding the cabbage, a little scared.

"It's okay, we'll ask, and as long as the clues are useful, we'll reward money. ”

As he spoke, he took out his documents vaguely.

When this aunt heard that she was rich, she smiled and smiled, looked around and pulled me down to a remote place: "I know a person who is mentally ill and was once locked up for murder. ”

I grabbed the aunt and scared her so much that the cabbage in her hand almost fell to the ground.

"That person's surname is Xiang, we all call him Xiang Lao Crazy, he usually doesn't go out at all, and no one knows what he is doing at home?"

The aunt took us to the door of the old madman's house and left in a hurry, saying that if the clues were useful, inform her to come and get the money, and I nodded.

The door was full of weeds, the two big iron doors were rusty, and some places were even sunken in, and before I went in, a foul smell came, I wrung my brows, and knocked on the big iron door a few times with my hands.

It's like a big manure mixed with a dead chicken, and it tastes like that after more than half a month.

Old Xiang was not knocked out by me, but knocked out his neighbors.

The man was in good spirits, dressed in tattered clothes, but clean, and he had gray hair, and he smiled at me: "Young man, this old madman sleeps during the day, and you can't wake up with a cannon next to his ear, and it's not too early, come to my house and drink a glass of water, and you'll be out in an hour." ”

Seeing my hesitation, the old man smiled and said, "Don't worry, he will come to my house every night to eat and drink with me, and he will come over immediately." ”

I glanced at Lin Yan'er and followed the old man into his house, the land was quite large, with an old-fashioned earth-based house in front and a large vegetable garden in the back.

As soon as I got in, I tripped over something and almost fell to the ground.

The ** on the waistband of his trousers was also exposed, and the old man was stunned for a moment, glanced at me and Lin Yan'er, and then returned to his smile.

"Don't worry, I don't say much, I don't see anything. ”

He beckoned us to do it, picked two large pears, brought two bowls of tea, and let us eat.

Lin Yan'er fanned in front of her and said, "It stinks." ”

As a reminder, I raised my head, standing outside the big iron gate just now, it was this smell, but it was not as strong as here.

The old man said slowly: "It's not like Xiang Lao is crazy, he has mental problems, he often dries the and puts it in a bowl, and this person likes to kill small animals, kill chickens, and earth dogs, kill and peel the skin, and stir it with dried and salt it." ”
