Chapter 264: Water God
Director Huang was slightly shocked when he heard this, and said, "Is it so amazing? Look, how beautiful these flowers are!"
The village chief said: "That's right, these words are nourished by the earth here, not so much by the earth, but by the water god." ”
Jiang Fan was very sensitive when he heard the word water god, and asked, "Village chief, the water god you just mentioned, is he the god here?"
The village chief nodded and said, "That's right, everything we have here was given to us by the water god, if it weren't for the water god to protect us, it is estimated that we would have starved to death long ago!"
Jiang Fan nodded, looking around vigilantly, he didn't know what was going on here, he was always shrouded in a strange aura.
After a while, the village chief took everyone to the security brigade on the cliff mountain, the security brigade here is not as simple as imagined, similar to the public security bureau outside, except that it is not a building, but a two-story small building, where those policemen usually eat and live.
As soon as Director Huang walked in, someone inside came out to greet him, it was an old policeman named Wu Gang, who looked a little old.
"Oh, Director Huang, the city called me today to tell me that someone would come to inspect, so we were ready to greet us early!"
Director Huang laughed and said, "Captain Wu, I didn't expect you to welcome us so much, it really surprised us!"
After hearing this, Captain Wu said: "Tell me what you are talking about, how can we not welcome you? No matter how we say it, we are all policemen and a family!"
After hearing this, Director Huang patted Wu Gang on the shoulder and said, "Okay! Yes, after I go back, I will tell the above that you will arrange an old comrade like you as much as possible, and you can't bend your talents here!"
Wu Gang was a little reluctant after hearing this, and said: "Don't don't, Director Huang, you didn't do this to help me, but you hurt me! I have found a lot of talents to arrange for me here, don't mention how much I like it here, so peaceful, usually nothing to do, play chess with the village chief, look at the mountains and see the water, don't mention how good!"
Director Huang was immediately surprised when he heard this, and said, "Oh my God, what about such a good life? Fortunately, Captain Wu, you reminded me in time, otherwise I would have become your enemy for life!"
Wu Gang smiled and said: "Haha! Look at what you said, of course I am happy that you want to help me! So, let's go to the house to talk, and I'll make you a cup of tea that I grew myself." ”
A group of people entered the house, Wu Gang made a good cup of tea for everyone, and said: "Usually there is something, I just work, help the people in the village solve some family conflicts, solve some neighbor disputes, when it's okay, I like to plant flowers, make tea or something." ”
Director Huang nodded and said, "Don't say it, it's really good here, with beautiful scenery and good air quality." ”
Wu Gang laughed and said, "That's not it. ”
Director Huang asked suspiciously, "Oh? Is there anything you are not satisfied with?"
Wu Gang whispered: "The people in the village are not here, I will definitely not say it here, I tell you that you don't let this word reach their ears!"
Director Huang nodded, and sounded seriously, Wu Gang said: "The villagers here, there is a custom, every month they will worship the water god here, and they will worship the water god here once a year, it is the same as the New Year!"
Director Huang was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter? Every place doesn't have the customs of every place! Besides, isn't this quite lively?"
Wu Gang paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, so, this is a very good place!"
Jiang Fan looked at the change in the expression on Wu Gang's face, he obviously wanted to say something just now, and then swallowed the words again, obviously something he wanted to say but couldn't say.
Wu Gang said: "Okay, Director Huang, let's get down to business now, I heard that you came here to handle the case, I don't know what kind of case you are handling?"
Director Huang then said with a serious face: "Captain Wu, this case is very important, and the age is also very old, it was a murder case more than 50 years ago!"
When Wu Gang heard this, he was shocked, and said, "Murder? There has been a murder in this cliff mountain? I remember that there was only one missing case!"
After hearing this, Director Huang asked suspiciously, "Could it be that Captain Wu has also heard about this matter?"
Wu Gang nodded, looked at Director Huang and Jiang Fan and others and said: "It's not a secret, this case was in charge of my father at the time, and now he has retired, I remember that this case was solved for a long time and was not closed, and then it has been left there, but the local residents all said that they accidentally fell off the cliff and followed the river and washed the body away!"
Director Huang immediately rejected this argument and said, "How is this possible? Think about it, Captain Wu, first of all, how could they be a family of four who disappeared together? If according to your statement, could it be that they fell off the cliff together? This probability is too small, right?"
After hearing this, Wu Gang said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Actually, I also feel strange about this matter, but if you think about it, this cliff village used to be very peaceful, how could a murder happen? They don't want money, they don't want vanity, why do they want to kill people? There's no reason at all, right?"
Director Huang said: "That's right, but maybe it's because of other reasons? You can't keep denying this matter, right? This case has been delayed for so long!"
Captain Wu and Director Huang discussed the case together, Jiang Fan walked out and walked around, the village chief was still waiting for everyone at the door, Jiang Fan said with some surprise: "Village chief, you haven't left yet?"
The village chief nodded and said, "Yes, every time the city sends someone to visit us, I will wait at the door to show respect!"
Jiang Fan said with a smile: "The village chief really has a heart, by the way, the village chief, I want to ask, do you know the disappearance case in your village more than fifty years ago?"
The village chief paused for a moment and said, "I really don't know much about this matter! That was many years ago, and the people in our village have long forgotten it, and if you think about it, more than 50 years have passed, who can still remember it?"
Jiang Fan looked at the village chief and asked, "I don't know how old the village chief is this year?"
The village chief said, "Oh, I'm seventy-eight years old!"
Jiang Fan was immediately shocked when he heard this, and said, "Oh my God! Village Chief, your body is too good! You only look like a person in your fifties!"
The village chief said: "Yes, the air we breathe is pollution-free, and the things we eat are the cleanest things in heaven and earth, plus we have the ears of the water god, so we will live so long!"
Jiang Fan nodded after hearing this, and then said, "Village Chief, I wonder if you can take me to the village to have a look?"
The village chief nodded and said, "Of course you can!"
Then Jiang Fan followed the village chief and went to the village, where the security brigade was in the depths of the village, but did not enter the village, but walked all the way in, and the village was next to it.
The people in the village are all working hard, the men are plowing the fields, the women are doing housework at home, and a group of children are playing happily on the dirt ground.
The village chief said: "Our village has always relied on our own labor force to support ourselves, without resorting to anything outside, because we don't want to touch the vanity and complicated interpersonal relationships outside, it's really dirty. ”
Jiang Fan said with some surprise: "Village chief, were you born here? I see that you have experienced a lot of things!"
The village chief smiled and said, "Of course I was born here, but I followed my father into the city a few times when I was a child, so I know a little about things outside!"
Jiang Fan nodded, and then the scene that Xiaomei said sounded, and asked, "Village Chief, don't you know that you have a waterfall here?"
