The matter of expanding the scope of investigation was not only thought of by Chen Guan, but also by Tan Qi, Jiang Lixin, and Du Hui, and by Shang Yushan, the director of the Shuiquan City Public Security Bureau who was far away in Shuiquan. It's common sense, and there's no other way than that!

After Chen Guan reported his thoughts to Tan Qi, Tan Qi said that he thought of it with himself, and the hero saw the same thing!

It's a bit of a boast to say that heroes! But the police officers braved the snow to chase the fierce, and the word "hero" is indeed worthy of it!

Tan Qi found Jiang Lixin and Du Hui, and after discussing with Chen Guan, according to the fact that Huxian, Zhouzhi, and Meixian counties were each unsolved with the "10?20" series of robbery, rape and murder cases that Chen Guan and Du Hui had found in the Qin Provincial Public Security Department, he believed that the little man was familiar with Zhou Zhi's situation, and committed bloody crimes in Huxian, Zhouzhi, and Meixian along the railway, indicating that this person was likely to be a person from Zhouzhi's surroundings, at least he had been active in this area. In view of this situation, Tan Qi decided to divide the police officers he brought into four groups, led by Tan Qi, Jiang Lixin, Chen Guan, and Du Hui respectively, of which Tan Qi's group continued to investigate the scene of the bloody crime at that time in Zhou Zhi and investigate clues; Jiang Lixin's group went to Wugong to find and touch the row, and Du Hui's group rushed to Meixian County to find and touch the row in Meixian County; Chen Guan Group returned to Huxian County and searched for a row in Huxian County!

Considering that Zhouzhi and Huxian are under the jurisdiction of Xijing, Meixian is under the jurisdiction of Baoji, and Wugong is under the jurisdiction of Xianyang, and two of the "10?20" series of robbery, rape and homicide cases occurred in Linguan in Weinan, and Shangluo was sandwiched between Linguan and Zhouzhi in Weinan, and the economy of Shangluo was underdeveloped, and there were many migrant workers in Shangluo, which should also be the focus of investigation, Chen Guan suggested to Tan Qi that relying on the Mingshui Public Security Bureau alone could not coordinate the public security force of Qin Province in the areas involved, and it was not possible to rely on the coordination of the Shuiquan City Bureau, so it must be reported to the Municipal Bureau quickly. Request the municipal bureau to report to the provincial department, and the provincial department will coordinate with the Qin Provincial Public Security Department to mobilize the public security forces in Xijing, Weinan, Baoji, Shangluo, Tongchuan and other areas in Qin Province to assist in finding and investigating!

This suggestion is not superfluous, after all, Qin Province and the Central Plains are two provinces, Tan Qi and Chen Guan asked Zhou Zhi Public Security for assistance, and Zhou Zhi Public Security did assist, but one county and one county all ran to investigate like this, not to mention that people were tired to death, and the murderer may not be found in two months, and they must rely on the means of administrative orders to mobilize the police everywhere to find them at the same time!

Tan Qi immediately made a report to Shang Yushan, director of the Shuiquan City Bureau, by phone!

The police officers chasing the murderer were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but God didn't open their eyes, the snow fell for two days in a row, and the road was blocked.

On the evening of November 13, Chen Guan took Li Tong, Lei Zhimin, Zhang Wenyuan, and Mao Feng to Huxian County after a difficult trek and braved the snow.

It was too late, the colleagues of the Huxian County Public Security Bureau were off work, only the staff on duty, and it was a heavy snowy day, Chen Guan did not immediately contact the Huxian County Public Security Bureau and arranged for everyone to stay in the Huxian County Party Committee Guest House.

Huxian is a place with Qinling Mountains in the south and Weihe River in the north, and is located in the hinterland of the Guanzhong Plain, which is the hometown of peasant paintings that is well-known throughout the country.

Due to the proximity to Xijing, Huxian County is also a strong industrial county on the Guanzhong Plain, since the 80s, the momentum of industrial development has been rapid, driving the development of the county, much more prosperous than the remote Mingshui County.

It is snowing, and the business of hotels and restaurants is not good. But Chen Guan was worried about not being able to catch the murderer, and he didn't want to go out to taste the local food with characteristics in Huxian County, so he led Li Tong and them, so he asked for six home-cooked dishes in the restaurant of the county party committee's guest house, such as stewed pork ribs with radish, spicy chicken, Mao Xuewang, mapo tofu, fried vermicelli with soybean sprouts, and garlic spinach.

Unexpectedly, before the meal came up, I met an acquaintance, who was the folk singer Zhou Qian, who went to Wulongyu to participate in the opening ceremony of the Bai family compound!

On that beautiful and joyful night of Wulongyu, under the flickering of the host Mingyue of the stage, in the shouts of the audience, and under the agitation of Zhang Deqing, secretary of the Mingshui County Party Committee, Chen Guan took the stage and Zhou Qian sang two songs, which shocked the audience. I didn't expect the two of them to reunite in Huxian tonight!

At first glance, when she saw Chen Guan, Zhou Qian still didn't believe her eyes, she couldn't figure out why Chen Guan suddenly appeared here!

Chen Guan and his entourage of 5 people rushed over from Zhou Zhi in the snow, the tires were equipped with snow chains, they couldn't run fast, they were very hard, and they didn't care about looking around during the meal, but they just made a cursory observation, and saw that there were only a few people in the restaurant, and they didn't care, they just buried their heads in ordering.

Seeing that Chen Guan didn't recognize himself, Zhou Qian originally thought that he didn't need to come forward to recognize him. She is a singer and actor, she has worked with many singers, and the enthusiastic audience she has seen is even more sea. However, Zhou Qian thought about it and felt that after all, she had performed on the same stage, and she couldn't say hello when she saw her, so she finished her meal in two bites, walked to Chen Guan's table, and whispered: "Chen Guan, hello!" ”

As soon as Chen Guan looked up, he saw that it was a girl wearing a coffee-colored tweed coat, her hair coiled, her eyebrows were picturesque, and two strings of gold chains and pearl pendants were hanging from her ears.

When performing in Wulongyu, Zhou Qian wore the kind of performance costumes often worn by folk singers in northern Shaanxi, combing two long braids. Now that he suddenly put on a fashionable coat and coiled up a fashionable hairstyle, it is no wonder that Chen Guan is unrecognizable all of a sudden!

Seeing that Chen Guan didn't recognize herself, Zhou Qian smiled lightly: "What, don't you know each other?" I'm Zhou Qian! ”

Chen Guan then remembered that the beautiful girl in front of him was the folk singer Zhou Qian who performed in Wulongyu, "Ahh

Zhou Qian was very generous, sat next to Chen Guan, and said that she had just eaten, so she didn't need to let the waiter take the tableware, just pour a glass of boiled water.

Actors, especially those who learn vocal music, are very particular about their diet, and they are afraid that eating too much will affect their figure, and they are also afraid that eating spicy food will affect their throat. Chen Guan and them are the opposite, all the way from Zhou Zhi, Li Tong is hungry and cold, and several of Chen Guan's meals are Sichuan cuisine, which is very spicy!

When Chen Guan and the others set off from Mingshui, the weather was very good, and they didn't bring police coats, but they didn't expect that when they arrived in Zhouzhi, it was snowing, and they naturally had to freeze!

Chen Guan saw that Zhou Qian didn't want tableware, and he was not reluctant, so he called the waiter to pour Zhou Qian a cup of boiled water.

Drinking boiled water, Zhou Qian asked Chen Guan, why did you come to Huxian?

Chen Guan was on a mission, and he couldn't tell Zhou Qian, he only said that he was here on a business trip. Then I asked Zhou Qian why she was here, is she from Huxian County?

Zhou Qian came to Hu County to collect style.

There is a kind of folk music art in Huxian County, called Huxian Meihu Quzi, which is developed by absorbing the folk songs and folk songs of Meixian County and Huxian in the northern song of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and the performance form is Qingqu sitting and singing, and the accompanying instruments are mainly three strings, and the auxiliary instruments are banhu, flute, four-page tile, bell and saucer, etc. It is said that there are more than 100 tunes in the music of Meihu in Huxian County, forming a self-contained system of music card interlocking styles; There are 36 major and 72 minor keys. The major key is ancient, the structure of the song is complex, the melody is full of variety, the vocal range is wide, and the tone is euphemistic; The minor key is mostly a folk song minor, with a narrow vocal range, a regular and short structure, and a smooth melody. There are more than 150 kinds of existing repertoire in five categories, including opening songs, customs, romances, legends, and monsters.

At this time, which ordinary singer will still think of collecting style and experiencing life? People in the music world are impetuous, and what they pay attention to is to go to Beijing and Shanghai Conservatory of Music for further study, ask famous teachers to tutor, and learn new singing methods. Zhou Qian can come to Huxian County to collect wind and absorb nutrients from local opera, and she can be regarded as a very knowledgeable and thoughtful folk singer!

The two of them were talking, when the food came up, Zhou Qian urged Chen Guan to stop talking, eat first, and talk after eating!

Li Tong and Lei Zhimin both went to Wulongyu to attend the opening ceremony of the Bai family compound and watched the evening performance, and they both recognized Zhou Qian at this time. It's just that the police officers of the grassroots police station, who usually see the criminals fierce and vicious, and see beautiful female stars, their tongues don't stop calling, and they can't speak, so they can only sit at the table in a daze, listening to Chen Guan and Zhou Qian chatting.

Hearing Zhou Qian urging Chen Guan to eat, Li Tong was liberated, took the lead in raising chopsticks, took the steamed buns, and started eating!

Five men, five men in police uniforms, cold and hungry, will definitely not look much better! As soon as Chen Guan and them started eating, Zhou Qian looked at it and smiled, feeling that these five policemen were probably hungry for a long time, a bit like starving ghosts!

A plate of steamed buns and six hot dishes were swept away by five police officers, and they ate a plate of clean!

The last thing to come up is the traditional noodle soup in Huxian County.

"Go down to the pot and turn the lotus, and take it into the bowl and fold the silk thread. Eat until you chew in your mouth, and swallow until your stomach is fragrant for half a year. ”

These four sentences are the sayings of Huxian people who have a soft spot for noodle soup.

The waiter brought everyone a bowl of thin noodles with noodle soup and a bowl of soup for each person.

The waiter said that the way to eat noodles in soup is different from other noodles, you can't pour the soup into the noodle bowl, but use chopsticks to pick up a noodle and put it into the soup, swing it back and forth, and wait for the noodles to be covered with the taste of the soup before eating. Eating noodles and drinking soup is the authentic way to eat noodle soup.

Chen Guan saw that this noodle was rolled by hand, which was particularly thin and thin, and should be cooked as soon as it was put into the pot. Looking at the soup again, there is a layer of red chili oil on the top, and a colorful rice on the bottom. Stirring it with chopsticks, I found that it was made of daylily, fungus, diced fried tofu, tomatoes, garlic sprouts, leeks, chopped green onions, and diced pork. Needless to say, this is sure to be good in color and flavor!

This meal, only Chen Guan and their faces were sweating profusely, their faces were red, and their bodies were hot all of a sudden!

After eating, Li Tong led Lei Zhimin, Zhang Zhiyuan, and Mao Feng back to the room.

Zhou Qian is not a big star, but she is definitely a relatively outstanding folk singer and professional actor, and she is very generous in her speech and actions. As soon as Li Tong and the others left, Zhou Qian told Chen Guan that there was a performance of the Meihu Quzi Club tonight, and asked Chen Guan if he had time?
