Chapter 142 The Case of Stealing Chickens
A policeman appeared in Xiashan Village, which was undoubtedly a piece of news, which immediately attracted countless curious people, and also attracted the village head Yang Shouping, an old village chief in his fifties, who was also the patriarch of the Yang family.
"Liu Suo, just a few chickens were stolen, and you actually worked your big driver!" The old village chief felt extremely guilty.
"Village Chief Yang, a few chickens, that's worth more than 100 yuan, which is completely enough to file a case, and I checked the case record, your village has been stolen more than 30 times in the past two years, a total of more than 100 chickens! We cannot tolerate such repeat offenders! Liu Gang didn't hide the purpose of his coming.
"It's a shame to say that in this village, there are always chickens that are stolen, and our village has investigated both openly and secretly, but no one has been found suspicious...... To put it mildly, if you're not afraid of Liu's jokes, my chickens have also been stolen from four! I'm just embarrassed to trouble you! No police report! Speaking of the successive stolen chickens, the old village chief also felt a little troubled, he is the village chief, then he is almost the boss of the village, and he is also disgraced when such a thing happens in the village.
"Yes, there are really few chickens in this village that haven't been stolen!" The villagers next to him also shouted.
"In fact, there are far more than 30 times, many chickens have been stolen, and they haven't reported the crime, and you police can't be busy with big cases, where is the time to catch this chicken thief." A villager said with a smile, that word is the truth, but in Liu Gang's ears, it is a little harsh, after all, he is a policeman, or the director of Dagou, originally, he just came down to take a look, and at this time he also secretly made up his mind to arrest this chicken thief.
"Moreover, it is not that I only started stealing in the past two years, at least three or four years, but the first stealing was not as diligent as it is now, and there were only one or two at a time, and I was not as ruthless as I am now." Another villager shouted.
"Liu Suo, I heard that you arrested the fugitive who killed two policemen?" A little daughter-in-law gathered by Liu Gang's side, but she didn't care about the chicken thief.
"And the pig thief in Yuanshan Village, I heard that he is also a murderer, is it true?" The little daughter-in-law's question suddenly changed the topic.
"I'm sorry, I'm working on catching the chicken thief, do you have any clues about the chicken thief?" Liu Gang doesn't want to gossip about murderers, and now his job is to catch chicken thieves, not murderers.
"This chicken thief has been stealing for several years, where is there such a good catch!" The little daughter-in-law was a little dissatisfied.
"It's not easy for others to catch, but Liu Suo is a detective, and the murderer who has been hiding for nine years can be found, let alone a little chicken thief." Someone immediately retorted, obviously very optimistic about Liu Gang, but these words made Liu Gang feel a lot of pressure, this chicken thief is not necessarily easier to catch than a murderer, and it is more headache than the pig thief, the pig thief can also find some footprints, how much a chicken can weigh, obviously it is not possible to leave traces in this regard.
"Liu Suo, this family is the one who reported the case today, and there are only three big roosters in his family, all of which have been stolen." As they spoke, they also came to a house, which looked good, with earthen walls and small green tiles, of course, the so-called good, but compared to Xiashan Village.
"Ah, comrade policeman, please sit in the house, please sit in the house!" A man in his thirties and forties greeted him warmly, his eyes were full of surprise, although he ran to call the police, but he really didn't expect that the police would really come, and he was just angry, so he ran to call the police.
"You're Yang Mingrong?" Liu Gang asked.
"Yes, yes!" The man nodded busily.
"Mingrong, this is Liusuo, the director of the Dagou Police Station, but the powerful policeman who has arrested a lot of murderers, you can provide information to Liusuo, maybe you can really catch the chicken thief this time." The village chief smiled and introduced Yang Mingrong.
"Village Chief Yang, please persuade the villagers to go back, this case needs to be quiet!" Liu Gang is not afraid of trouble, but there are many people, and the scene is completely destroyed, and it is not easy to find anything.
The prestige of the old village chief is obviously good, and it doesn't take much effort, and the onlookers are all drunk by him, but the old village chief himself stays to accompany him.
If you change people, there is no need to see the scene at all, where the chicken pen is located, the theft of the three big roosters has also been turned over by the owner's house I don't know how many times, the scene at this time has long been unrecognizable, but Liu Gang still looked for it carefully. Not to mention, he really found valuable clues. On a nail in the door frame of the chicken pen, he found a blood stain, which did not look very long.
"Your family, has anyone ever been injured on this chicken pen recently?" Seeing the bloodstains, Liu Gang suddenly lifted his spirits.
"No, this chicken pen will also close the chickens at night, except when you want to catch the chicken, who will put your hand in it, it must be scratched by the thief when he catches the chicken." Yang Mingrong is also in high spirits.
"I'm going to remove this nail, maybe ruin some chicken pens!" Liu Gang said.
"No problem, just re-nail it!" Yang Mingrong hurriedly said.
Liu Gang took out a knife, cut the wood near the nail, and took out the nail, the place where the nail had blood stains was not long, but it was not shallow, obviously, the wound of the injured person was not small. Liu Gang held the nail and concentrated on the soul seal technique, when did the image of a person come to mind, it was a man in his forties.
This man is supposed to be a chicken thief! Looking at that image, Liu Gang came to the conclusion almost instantly that the male owner of the house was a man in his forties, and there should be no other people of the same age in the family.
"Old village chief, can you help to check and see who has scratches on their hands! The wound has not completely scabbed, especially on the back of the hand! Liu Gang put the nail into the evidence bag, and asked tentatively, although such an investigation is somewhat out of order, but in this rural place, it doesn't matter, as long as the village chief has prestige, it can be carried out, especially, this Xiashan Village, there is also a name is Yangjia Village, and the entire village has a surname.
"I'll let them go from house to house! Whoever wants to do this, even if your public security doesn't deal with it, our village will also deal with it seriously! The village chief readily agreed.
"Remember, even if there is an injury, it may not be a suspect, and in the end, it will be handed over to me to identify, and don't let them do it." Liu Gang cautiously advised, after all, it is not in accordance with the rules to do this, if something happens, he has to take responsibility, and it is still a trivial matter to take responsibility, if something really happens to this, it will be troublesome, if it is not for the family name of the village, he really doesn't have the courage to do so.
"Don't worry, we work in the countryside, and it is common for us to get injured on our hands, and no one will be so reckless." The old village chief responded, quickly ordered to go down, or a special greeting, there were many people watching the excitement in the distance, heard the village chief's order, and immediately agreed one after another, scattered.
"Yang Mingrong, what time was your chicken stolen?" Liu Gang himself asked the owner, but the inquiry obviously did not have much result, and the family went to bed after nine o'clock as usual, and got up in the morning to find that the chicken was gone, and there was no abnormal reaction, and the location of the chicken pen at home was also the same in the homes of almost the villagers.
When the sky darkened, Liu Gang was invited to the house by the old village chief, and when he walked into the village chief's house, Liu Gang also felt the enthusiasm of the family, and actually killed a rooster and a mother, and the mother made soup, and the rooster was half cold and half braised red. Liu Gang felt a little embarrassed, this chicken thief didn't catch it, but he ate the chicken first! It's two when you eat it, if you can't catch the chicken thief, how can you pay the difference!
"I'm not a thief, my injury was from when I was chopping wood...... "While eating, someone ran over, and defended himself from a distance, his tone was obviously quite unkind, and he was followed by some villagers.
"Mingxi, just let you identify Liusuo! I didn't say you stole the chicken, if you didn't, what to worry about! Village Chief Yang Shouming taught a lesson.
"I'm sorry, big brother, for causing you trouble!" Liu Gang naturally saw at a glance that this was not the thief, but he still pretended to look at the injury before he apologized.
"I'll just say I'm not, they have to let me do it!" The villager said indignantly, whoever encounters such a thing will be a little unhappy.
"Hehe, this big brother, I think, you also want to catch this chicken thief, don't you?" Liu Gang said with a smile.
"That is, in order to prevent the chickens from being stolen, I moved the chicken pen to the room, catch the chicken thief early, and I don't have to smell the chicken poop to sleep every night!" The villager suddenly screamed indignantly, and his dissatisfaction was instantly transferred to the chicken thief.
"Haha!" When he said something, everyone laughed, even himself, and he couldn't help laughing. It's just that Liu Gang was a little sad to hear it, and moved the chicken pen into the room, which certainly felt funny, but as a police station chief, he couldn't laugh at all.
That night, more than a dozen people came to the village chief's house, most of them came voluntarily, some were reluctant and semi-forced, after all, no one wants to be mistaken for a thief because of this, this is a relatively closed environment, and no one is afraid of falling into such a bad reputation, a small place, far less complicated than a town.
Looking at the reactions of the villagers, there was no difference from what he guessed, Liu Gang's heart was slightly hanging, and he was not worried at all when he made such a decision, however, more than ten people came overnight, all of them were denied, these people were just people from the production team, and the people from the production team where the village chief was located, the time was urgent, and it was too late to go to other production teams.
"Has this production team been checked?" Yang Shouping asked loudly.
"Patriarch, after the investigation, everyone has checked it, even I have checked it for everyone." A sturdy middle-aged man said loudly.
"That's just our family!" Yang Shouping, the village head, quickly stretched out his hand, turned it over and over for everyone to understand, and then instructed his family, "Show it to everyone!" ”
"Village Chief, we can't trust you......" The sturdy man hurriedly said.
"Hehe, it's not a matter of believing it or not, everyone is suspicious, besides, I didn't do anything wrong, I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, since we didn't do it, what are we afraid of being checked! Take a look at your hands soon, and don't you see anything unsightly......" Yang Shouming said to everyone with a smile, but it made everyone laugh, and his family also walked out quickly, exposing their hands unabashedly under everyone's eyes, and even rolled up their sleeves.
"Okay, everyone disperse, tomorrow, we will investigate one production team after another, that is, dig three feet into the ground, and we will also catch this chicken thief!" Yang Shouming was ruthless. The villagers also dispersed separately.
It seems that the family system is not completely without merit, as long as there is a capable patriarch, it can also play a good role! The economic situation of this mountain village is much better than that of the mountain village! Liu Gang couldn't help but look at this old village chief differently, this old village chief, the old patriarch, didn't have that kind of old-fashioned and dogmatic at all, but was more enlightened.
About the example of the old village chief, the next day the villagers of the other teams were more cooperative, and when they went to the second production team, the adults of the entire production team gathered, and the next few production teams were all like this, Liu Gang also carefully scanned the crowd, however, the result was a little surprising, and he didn't find that person.
Isn't this person from Xiashan Village? That's simply not possible! Liu Gang thought so, but he immediately denied his guess, this is simply a village of reading, even if it is the nearest Shangshan Village, it is very difficult to travel at night, although it cannot be said that it is impossible, but it will not be discovered for several years, and the possible surname will be almost gone.
If this person is from the Lower Mountain Village, then there is something missing! However, it is said that these villagers are so cooperative, so active, that there may be no missing surnames.
"Village Chief Yang, everyone, think about it carefully, is there anyone who has been left out?" After inspecting the last production team, it was also dusk.
"Our production team definitely doesn't." The captain of the production team who had just been investigated said.
"Neither does our team!" Several other production captains also followed and said one after another.
"There is one man on our team, but there is no way he can steal chickens!" A woman who was watching the excitement said with a smile.
"Oh, why can't it?" Liu Gang's spirits suddenly perked up.
"He has been a vegetarian for 20 years, and he has been a vegetarian since the death of his old aunt, how can he steal chicken!" The village woman smiled and said, how can a vegetarian person steal chickens, this is common sense.
"The fifth brother you mentioned, he is really impossible, the fifth uncle is the only teacher in our school, he is very enthusiastic, whoever has something, he also goes to help, and he doesn't need money, which child can't afford to study, and he doesn't charge tuition......" The village chief on the side explained with a smile.
"Since you're here, let's go and see, if it's innocent, I won't wronged him! Where does he live? "Liu Gang doesn't think like the village chief, people are very complex animals, monks who secretly eat meat and drink wine, that's not nothing, some people, the surface of the kung fu is very homely.
"Well, the fifth brother is also a reasonable person, and he won't have any opinions! However, it's a little late today, and it's too late to get there, so let's go early tomorrow morning! The old village chief hesitated, but agreed.
Chen Chuanzhong stayed in Liulin for almost a day, called a few times, and there was no news of Liu Gang's return, the pager called a few times, and no one replied, he couldn't sit still, he knew that Liu Gang was deliberately avoiding him, deliberately putting aside a dignified director, he was a little annoyed, but what annoyed him even more was that Huang Yuanqi also called him a few times, he had called back to explain a few times, Huang Yuanqi's tone was also a little dissatisfied, and he seemed a little anxious, this matter, the more it dragged on, the more troublesome it was.
This time, although he can completely stay out of the matter, although he is clear about the whole incident, but if he really wants to settle the account, it has nothing to do with him, at least, he can shirk it, however, he has to take care of this matter, Huang Yuanqi, the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, has absolutely the right to veto the promotion of him, the deputy director, unless he doesn't want to progress.
"Comrade Hu Linxu, hasn't Director Liu come back yet?" This is also the fourth time he has called.
"Not yet, Yanagi is a workaholic, and he has no concept of time when he works!" Hu Linxu's schadenfreude made Chen Chuanzhong wait in Liulin for a day, which made the depression in his heart disappear a lot during this time.
"Tomorrow morning, you will accompany me to the countryside!" Chen Chuanzhong said on the phone.
"Okay, Chen Ju!" Hu Linxu readily agreed, allowing Chen Chuanzhong to go around the most remote places, which made him feel good, but after hanging up the phone, he suddenly remembered that he didn't know how to go to Xiashan Village, so he could only shake his head helplessly, and said to Lao Duan with a smile, "Lao Duan, I can only work hard for you tomorrow!" ”
"Hehe, it's a great honor to accompany the bureau leaders to Xiashan Village!" Lao Duan had been listening to Hu Linxu's phone call, and naturally understood what was going on.
"Haha, Liu Suo is really clever, it seems that we are worried about Liu Suobai!" Hu Linxu said with a smile, although he didn't know the specific situation, he could guess almost without a brain that Chen Chuanzhong must have something to do with Liu Gang's punishment.
"It's just that in this way, Liu Suo will offend Chen Ju thoroughly!" Lao Duan sighed softly.
"It's nothing, Bureau Chen and Bureau Jia were originally rivals, and last time Liu Institute was called by Bureau Chen to the county bureau for training!" Hu Linxu is in Liulin, but the information he knows is much richer than in Dagou.
"Oh, there's such a thing!" Duan Liangqi really didn't know such a thing.
Tick tick! The phone rang again, and the two of them looked at the caller ID of the phone at the same time, but it was the phone number of the city bureau.
"Hello, Dagou Police Station!" Hu Linxu picked up the phone.
"It's Brother Hu, I'm sailing!" A familiar voice came from the phone, that time they handled the case together, and they got together again, and the two were also very familiar.
"Voyage, looking for Yanagi, right? Liu Suo he went to the countryside! ”
"I haven't come back yet!"
"I went yesterday to investigate the case of a repeat offender."
"Oh, I'm going to tell him good news!"
"Hehe, what's the good news, let's hear about it?"
"It's not good news, but it's good for him, Huang Zehai turned himself in, saying that because he failed to become the director, he took his resentment out on Liu Suo, and when he talked to his superiors, he told a lie." Wang Yuanhang paused before he said.
"He's going to turn himself in?"
"It should be under some kind of pressure, it can be regarded as self-inflicted, okay, I'm hanging!" After speaking, Wang Yuanhang hung up the phone.
"Who turned themselves in?" Duan Liangqi asked a little nervously.
"Huang Zehai!" Hu Linxu said with some regret, he and Huang Zehai are also very familiar, and the friendship is still good, Huang Zehai has come to this point, and it is indeed a little difficult, Huang Zehai made such a choice, although it is despicable, but it is also understandable.
"Will he be expelled?" Duan Liangqi was silent for a long time before he said slowly. The heaviness in his heart is even worse than Hu Linxu, Hu Linxu just has a good relationship with Huang Zehai, but he has worked with Huang Zehai for many years, eating together and having fun together, but that friendship is far from being good to describe. Huang Zehai's family situation, he knows very well that once Huang Zehai is expelled, the life of that family may immediately fall into an embarrassment.
"Probably not, Huang Ze definitely won't dare to let him be expelled!" Hu Linxu didn't shy away from Duan Liangqi, Duan Liangqi probably knew better than himself in this matter.
"I hope so!" Duan Liangqi didn't get much comfort from this.
At the same time, Chen Chuanzhong also received a call from the county bureau and hurried back to the city bureau, which was going to convene an emergency party committee.
