Chapter 116, Doubtful Case

In front of the ruins of the village committee, where the smoke of gunfire has not yet dissipated, the villagers did not dare to approach for a long time, who knows if there are any residual explosives, and whether they will be detonated by embers at this time? In the end, Chang Shuxin was the first to walk over, bypassed the remnant wall and saw the eight words, and concluded on the spot that it was arson.

As a police officer, I saw such handwriting at the scene, and it was natural that I should give the case such a surname.

The key question is - who did it? The leading people in the village all stood in front of this ruined wall, their faces were blue and they didn't say a word, they didn't believe that it was a "ghost" who did it, it must have been a living person who committed the crime!

Although I thought so in my heart, I couldn't suppress the inexplicable fear in the depths of my consciousness, and it was difficult to breathe as if I had pressed a boulder in my heart. Some villagers didn't recognize everything, and some villagers didn't understand what it meant, and asked in a whisper in the back, and everyone soon knew what was going on, and many people couldn't hide their suspicion and horror in their eyes.

Only Chang Shuxin felt the most relaxed, and even secretly scolded Fei Jucun in his heart for deserving it, and he was extremely disgusted in his heart for the group of people who were so unreasonable that he almost lost his job with a black pot. On the one hand, Chang Shuxin doesn't believe that it will be haunted at all, and on the other hand, even if he subconsciously thinks that it is haunted, he has a debtor and a debtor, and he can't find his head.

From a selfish point of view, he didn't even want to solve this case, and he was very grateful to the arsonist for relieving him today.

Scolding and scolding, the case still has to be solved. There are people in the countryside who set fires big or small, and it happens from time to time that they quarrel and set fire to other people's haystacks, and that kind of case is easy to solve and handle. But this person used explosives to blow up the village committee, but it was not a tomb robbery that was difficult to manage in the mountains and wilderness, nor was it an ordinary arson, but a major public security case with a bad surname!

If it is not handled well, carelessness may produce a bad political impact and public opinion hype, and the perpetrators will be too bold. The county and the city may be shocked by this case, and Chang Shuxin knows the seriousness of the surname.

As a police officer who rushed to the scene of the crime as soon as possible, he has the responsibility to protect the scene, carry out first-hand investigation and evidence collection, and record the original information at the time of the crime, so that he can explain the past.

Before Chang Shuxin could speak, the villagers surrounded him again, this time no longer asking him to meddle with his affairs, but insisting that he immediately solve the arson case. Listening to the tone of some people, he, the policeman, does not immediately catch the arsonist, he is the scum of the country, the moth of society, the corrupt official who oppresses the people on behalf of the political axe, and so on.

Chang Shuxin was also angry, and finally had an irrepressible seizure, opened his shirt and pulled out the rusty handcuffs from the waistband of his trousers, pointed at the most noisy villager Fei Duzhong and scolded: "Your mother is a force, don't show your teeth with Lao Tzu!" Someone robbed the tomb, and your village always blocked the trouble and didn't let the case go, forcing Lao Tzu to eat deflated? Every time you jump the most happy! Now the village committee has blown it up, and forced Lao Tzu to stare at it and solve the case? Or your [***] jumping the most happy!

It's easy to solve the case, the tomb robbers used explosives, and the arsonists also used explosives, this is the clue, where did this kind of thing come from? I think it was a group of people who did it! Look at you like a suspect, now go to your house to search, find out the explosives and handcuff away, I don't think you are guilty of cheapness? ”

A group of village cadres hurriedly shouted at Fei Duzhong, several villagers pushed and shoved him away, and the village cadres persuaded again: "Chang Gong'an, why be angry with that kind of fool, he has something wrong with his brain, and our whole village knows that it is important to handle the case." ”

Anyway, he was already scolding, and Chang Shuxinsuo scolded to the end: "You are all fucking fools? What are you standing here to see the excitement, and you don't know the protection scene? Fermi, tell someone to stop this place with a rope, and no one will let anyone in, and you all go out. …… I can't just handle the case here, find a place, I want to make a record of the questioning. ”

This time, the villagers were all careful, and no one made trouble anymore, not even the old ladies who talked back. The village committee has been blown up, where can I go to work? You can only go to the guest house opened by the village security officer. As soon as the accident happened, it was a series, and on the way from the village entrance to the guest house, a civil dispute over a group fight was also handled, and the reason was laughable.

This fire not only blew up the village committee, but the power lines, cable lines, and telephone lines that were connected to the village from the mountain were all from the shelves outside the wall on the second floor of the village committee, and they were all broken at this moment. In addition to the mobile phone signal at the entrance of the village, the fixed telephone is all cut off, and the whole village has a power outage.

It was already dark, and the villagers went to the commissary to buy candles and batteries, and they bought a lot, and the villagers who opened the commissary still had to use it in their own homes, and then they didn't sell it, and they went to other houses to buy if they didn't sell it, and they bought more at a time, and finally the three commissaries didn't sell them as if they had discussed it, unless they were sold at a high price and in limited quantities.

The villagers who didn't buy it stopped doing it, and scolded in the village, this one said that the one was not authentic, and that one said that this one bought too much, and it didn't matter if they did the scolding, and some of them were still dark, scolding and scolding a group of women and pulling their clothes and hair and fighting. Fermi accompanied Chang Gong'an to pass by and happened to see this one, so he was angry, and scolded the men to pull the mothers-in-law away, and dealt with it on the spot after asking about the situation, but everyone said that they didn't buy much.

Or a foreigner who came out of the guest house had an idea. The outsider was in his forties, not tall enough to stand there, but he was very imposing, like a leader who spoke to his subordinates or a coach who commanded the team. He suggested that all the villagers pay for candles today should be paid by the village committee, and everyone should take the candles to the accountant to register the number.

Several village leaders nodded in agreement, and the problem was solved. The branch secretary asked each family to take a few and keep the rest in the guest house for later use.

After dealing with these upset matters, in a room in the guest house, Chang Shuxin called seven or eight important figures in the village, including the village director, the party secretary, the public security liaison, and the accountant, into a room, closed the door and lit wax to analyze the case, but did not talk about how to solve the case, but analyzed the surname of the case, and he talked about two assumptions-

The first case: the village committee secretly hid explosives, which caused an explosion in the fire. There is such a thing in the village committee, and several village leaders cannot escape the responsibility, and they must be investigated, and the relevant personnel will explain the source and purpose, and then accept the treatment.

The second situation: If the arsonist deliberately blew up the Feiju Village Committee with explosives brought by himself, then the surname is very serious, and it is a case of evil surname that endangers public safety, and the police must absolutely make great efforts to investigate it.

In the end, he asked: "They are all villagers, so you can tell the truth, does the village committee have any explosives in secret?" When I reported the case, I could also determine the direction of the investigation and give the case a preliminary surname. ”

Everyone present shook their heads in denial, how could the village committee secretly hide explosives, of course it was brought by arsonists! Even if someone vaguely feels that something is wrong, they are not willing to stand up and give the whole village a top tank, besides, there is a tomb robbery case here, once you admit that you have secretly possessed explosives, isn't that asking for trouble for yourself?

Chang Shuxin sneered in his heart: Ignorance is not terrible, what is terrible is stupid selfishness and greed, the source of the explosives is different, the surname of this case is different, the intensity of the investigation is very different, it really makes the situation bigger, and the unlucky one may still be Fei Jucun. He had hinted at it, but these people were afraid to take responsibility alone. ”

Then Chang Shuxin began to investigate the case, when the fire broke out, the whole village was tossing in the valley for a long time, there was no time to commit the crime, only the old and weak women and children were left in the village, and no one was seen coming back halfway. So assuming that the perpetrator was in the village at the time, Chang Shuxin also knew in his heart that at the level of these people in the village, I am afraid that no one would be able to choose such a beautiful Han Li to write on the wall with a broomstick.

Then the suspect is very likely to be an outsider. As far as calligraphy is concerned, the most suspicious are the intellectuals of the archaeological team, but they could not have committed the crime, and they were surrounded by villagers at that time.

Two people entered the village today, You Chengyuan and a foreigner named Xu Kai, and the suspicion of these two people was also ruled out. Some children saw them get off the tractor and go straight to the valley after entering the village, and You Chengyuan had already "tried the case" in front of the villagers before the crime, so it was impossible to have time to commit the crime.

As for You Fang, who is known as "Xu Kai", there is no possibility of committing the crime, Fei Dabao and several other villagers testified that he has been watching the excitement at the scene, carrying a big bag, arriving earlier than You Chengyuan, and then running back to the village with everyone.

In fact, Fei Dabao made a mistake of common sense, he didn't see You Fang for a while, but he thought that You Fang was always by his side. Moreover, it was impossible to run back and forth from the foot of the mountain through the valleys, mulberry forests, and villages to the village committee, and the shortest time was close to four kilometers, and it took more than ten minutes to do this kind of thing, and it was really impossible for anyone to be discovered in broad daylight, and he couldn't even think of it.

There were also three guests from other places in the guest house, who, like Xu Kai, claimed to be here to collect mountain goods and farm tours, and were key suspects, but the waiter testified that these people never left the guest house before and after the crime and throughout the afternoon. If the waiter hadn't lied, there were two possibilities left, either someone from the village had committed the crime, or the suspect hadn't shown up in the village at all.

Chang Shuxin also suspected that several outsiders were cultural relics dealers, and checked the documents and luggage of You Fang and the other three people at the guest house, but found no flaws. - They already knew that something was wrong in the village, and they had already cleaned up any flaws, and they would wait for the police to investigate? The documents are okay and normal.

Chang Shuxin stood at the entrance of the village and called the director with his mobile phone to report the case, and then told the village cadres to protect the crime scene, and went back on foot with a flashlight. It was too dangerous to ride a motorcycle on the mountain roads here at night, so he simply left the broken motorcycle in the village. The village director was also not at ease, so he asked a few people to send Chang Shuxin down the mountain with a flashlight, and by the way, he went to the town to ask the township power supply station to send someone to repair the wires.

As soon as Chang Gong'an left, the people in the village were busy -- busy transporting explosives outside the village!

No one dares to leave explosives in their own homes anymore, and when the police often scold Fei for being loyal, they can make it clear that whoever hides explosives and is found out is a criminal suspect. Even if it is not possible to find out about robbing tombs or arson, it is illegal to possess explosives and must be dealt with. Usually no one comes to investigate, but tomorrow maybe a group of police will come to search for explosives.

In fact, the villagers are more worried about another thing, they are afraid that their house will be destroyed by fire, and they can see the words written on the wall of the village committee, which is shocking! It's better to believe it than to believe it, who will joke with their own life, or be careful. There are already rumors circulating in the village, and there is also a part of the credit of the wandering party.

……

After You Fang returned to the village, he was dragged back to his house by the enthusiastic Fei Dabao and brought out a bunch of bottles and cans for him to see. You Fang also saw the glass beads in this pile of things, the shape was similar to the one he matched on Qin Yu's sword spike, but it was not so big and not so well preserved, and of course, there was no special spirit surname that "can stimulate what the mind sees".

Not all artifacts have an unusually special spiritual surname, even if these glass beads used to have a spiritual surname, they were unearthed for so long and gradually dispersed, leaving only the surnames deposited over the years, and you can feel that they are antiquities thousands of years ago. After the unearthed glazed ware, which has been sealed for thousands of years, although it will not corrode and decompose, it can be preserved, but the color will gradually become dull, and the interior will slowly become turbid, and this process is only a few hours to a few days.

You Fang's glass bead is the size of a walnut, just like the eyes of a girl who has just opened in a big dream. And these glass beads of Fei Dabao's family are less than one centimeter in diameter, and they are like the eyes of salted fish, and some of them are defective.

He asked unwillingly, "Are there any better of these beads?" ”

Fei Dabao: "The bigger and better-looking ones have been taken away, and these small, unsightly people don't want to stay at home for their children to play." …… Boss Xu, look at something else and give a fair price. ”

You Fang looked back, isn't it, Fei Dabao's child is playing with glass beads as marbles in the yard. Play with this kind of thing for your child, and you are not afraid of dreaming too much when you sleep, and you will have a nervous breakdown in the future! You Fang scolded secretly while laughing and bargained with Fei Dabao, and casually offered a price that he thought was already quite low, but Fei Dabao smiled as if he had picked up a treasure.

After chatting for a while, the neighbor Fei Quanzhong was driven back from the entrance of the village, came to the door, saw You Fang negotiating here, and asked "Boss Xu" to come to his house to have a look, so You Fang and Fei Dabao came to Fei Quanzhong's house together. During the chat, Fei Qianzhong talked about the matter at the entrance of the village, and asked worriedly: "Boss Xu, you are all well-informed people, have you heard of this kind of thing in other places?" ”

You Fang frowned and groaned: "I haven't heard of blowing up a house, I guess it must have been done by a living person!" But there are strange things, I heard that there was a plague in a village specializing in tomb robbing, and many people died before and after, and the doctors in Yanjing couldn't cure it, so I couldn't figure out what the disease was. ”

Fei Dabao: "Is there really such a thing, I don't believe it, isn't our village good?" ”

You Fang asked rhetorically: "Can a good village committee blow people up?" ”

Fei Qianzhong: "You just said that it was done by a living person, this doesn't count!" ”

You Fang: "Some things are really evil, and you can't do it if you're not careful. …… Uncle Bao, don't play with that kind of beads for your child, if you don't believe it, go home and ask carefully, do children play with beads during the day, do they often have strange dreams at night? …… Oops, don't talk about it, it's scary. He shuddered.

Fei Dabao also shuddered inexplicably, and he really heard the child say it in his impression, but he didn't take it seriously, and turned around and wanted to go home and ask carefully. You Fang grabbed him: "Don't worry, the matter is not over yet." ”

You Fang told the two villagers that there are police officers in the village to investigate the case, and it is inconvenient to collect local products, so they will talk about it when the limelight passes. But don't worry, they have already registered everything, the price has been set, and sooner or later they will come to collect it. At the same time, tell them not to tell anyone what they say about business in private today.

The two villagers nodded understandingly, and at this time the sky had already darkened, and a child happened to come to tell Fei Qianzhong that his mother-in-law was fighting with someone in the village to grab candles, so he went out to see the situation.

You Fang pulled Fei Dabao to accompany him to the guest house to register for accommodation, Fei Cai was not there, the mother-in-law of Fei Cai's family at the front desk saw You Fang's face a little suspicious, Fei Dabao patted his chest and assured that "Boss Xu" had come to the village to collect local products before, so You Fang stayed.

You Fang had already inquired about the situation in the small talk just now, and the transactions of the illegal excavation of cultural relics in Feiju Village were all carried out in this guest house, and Fei Cai, the "security director", was contacted by a single line, and the cultural relics dealers who came did not directly negotiate with the villagers, which was decided by the village committee collectively.

After all, he is not too stupid to be a cadre, and he also has a little experience in anti-investigation. As a dealer of cultural relics, this kind of trade does not want to have so many witnesses, some people organize the supply of goods and help bargain, and the villagers who rob the tomb have no direct contact at all, and they can even say that they don't know about the tomb robbery at all, so why not?

After Fei Cai had a meeting with Chang Gong'an, he heard that there were guests who collected local products in the guest house, and he came to visit, and when he saw that You Fang was a fresh face, he asked very hesitantly: "This Boss Xu, have you been here before, why don't I have any impression at all?" ”

You Fang said with a smile: "I came with Boss Li the year before last, I was just an errand boy at the time, and now I am working alone, it is normal that you are not impressed, but you should always remember this glass bead, right?" He took out a piece of jewel with a walnut-sized glass bead tied to it.

Fei Cai really has an impression, he has shot such glass beads, as for this one should be a particularly beautiful kind, it can sell for hundreds! So he nodded and said, "Congratulations to Boss Xu, now that you are rich and your own boss!" It's just that the village is not very good these days, and the local people can't do it, you see, will you come back after a while? ”

You Fang shook his head and said, "I also know the situation in your village, but you have come so far away, and you still care about staying for two more days?" The air here is good, the landscape is good, and it is time for recuperation. Business matters wait for the archaeological team and the police to withdraw, aren't there three colleagues here who are also waiting, manager of materials, you won't worry that I can't afford to pay for accommodation, right? ”

Seeing that You Fang took out the familiar glass beads, and called him "Material Manager" when he was doing business, Fei Cai also had an illusion, and he really remembered that there was such a person.

Seeing that he was going to stay here, presumably because he was afraid that another peer would rob him of his business, Fei Cai smiled and said: "Where do you say, you are all big bosses, and my small business is all counting on you to make a fortune!" …… You rest first, I still have something to do today, if you want to eat game, you still need anything, just tell the front desk, you are also a regular customer anyway. …… By the way, there may be a public security officer who will come to ask you in a while, and may also check your documents and say hello. ”

Fei Cai left, but You Fang was very confused, mainly because the behavior of the other three foreign guests was unreasonable.
