"We are the police of the Huaye County Public Security Bureau, this is our director, and the documents are here." Hua Shang took out his ID and let the old man look at it, and then said, "I came here today to ask about Qiu Shan." ”

"Would the police care about an accidental death seven years ago?" The old man said in a bad tone, everyone in the village knew that the matter was likely to be man-made, but they had no power and power, and the evidence was insufficient.

Grassroots personnel, when they go to the village to investigate, they often encounter uncooperative situations, and it is common to be scolded when they are not welcomed, Hua Shang didn't expect that the person in front of him was actually too lazy to scold, and he just had a cold face, he knew very well that if it weren't for old age and death, maybe they would have started to drive people away.

"I'm going to look into this case." Zhang Qi showed a warm smile and said, "I will investigate this case, Hong Shukai will not live long." ”

Hearing Zhang Qi's words, the old man showed a smile of shame on his face, but his heart turned around, and it quickly became doubtful, to their extent, Zhang Qi, the director of the Public Security Bureau, would not be so idle that he would come to deceive people.

"Come in." Looking at the expression on Zhang Qi's face, the old man let go of his body and let Zhang Qi and Hua Shang enter the door, then glanced at the home environment, found a chair that he usually sat on, and said to the child who was picking sea melon seeds: "Xiaoshan, let your stool out and let your uncle sit." ”

"No, no, I'll just stand." Hua Shang hurriedly waved his hand, joking, it was strange that he didn't get tired of sitting on this stool.

"Let you sit down, as long as you are willing to help, you can sit on my body." The old man was very stubborn and put the stool in front of Hua Shang, and went to pull the relatively large chair, although his face was still cold, but he already brought some hope.

"The old and the old, the young and the young." Zhang Qi stopped the old man's movements, stuffed the stool back under the child's buttocks, and said to the old man, "If we can sit down, we are not here to help you." ”

It is impossible for a person who does not respect the old and loves the young to come and track down a case from a few years ago, this is the meaning of the words.

It doesn't matter if you deceive yourself, or believe in Zhang Qi, after listening to it, the old man stopped making excuses, and sat on the chair all of a sudden, as if this way he could strengthen Zhang Qizun's willingness to help track down that heart.

The child didn't have as much thought as an adult, looked at his grandmother, looked at Zhang Qi, and then looked at the stool, looking at a loss.

"Sit down." Zhang Qian skillfully pressed the child down, scooped up a handful of sea melon seeds, and said to Xiaoshan with a smile: "I have picked it before, you have to pick it along its foot, lighter, otherwise it will be easy to be scratched." ”

"I'm very good, I didn't get it yesterday, I picked it up a long time ago." Xiaoshan lit up his finger to show Zhang Qi, the top of his index finger was wrapped in a strip of cloth, he was doing the work with his thumb and middle finger today.

Zhang Qi looked at the child with a loving look in his eyes, and then heard the old man ask in a suspicious tone: "Why are you so kind to help us?" ”

"Tell you, we don't sell it here, we don't sell it to anyone, you bastards." As if remembering something, the old man spoke excitedly again, and poked the ground a few times with a cane made of tree poles in his hand.

This time Zhang Qi became confused, Hua Shang saw this, and said embarrassedly in Zhang Qi's ear: "Director, this is ...... If you want to expand the port, someone should be doing something. ”

"Oh, I see." Zhang Qi nodded, he didn't expect a wave of unsettled waves to arise, he didn't know about this at all, "We don't buy things, you don't want to sell, whoever forces you, just look for me." ”

In the old man's still guarded eyes, Zhang Qi instructed Hua Shang to start asking about the case, and he listened on the side.

Seven years later, there are not many things that can be asked, and there is no evidence at all, but the old man is very cooperative, and even what his son and daughter-in-law were wearing at the beginning of the clothes are clear, and there are even photos of the two people when they died.

"Auntie, I'll get ......" When he asked, a voice came from the door, and a man in his thirties stood at the door, seeing Zhang Qi and Hua Shang while talking, but he immediately closed his mouth.

"Agen, this, this is almost ready, you wait, I can help after talking to the two policemen." The old man spoke, and hurriedly beckoned Agen in, his attitude became much more than just now, "Come in, I'll pour you a glass of water." ”

"No need, Auntie, it's not an outsider, I'll help Xiaoshan, you can talk." Ah Gen smiled innocently, nodded to Zhang Qi and Hua Shang, walked to Xiaoshan's side, skillfully helped the children pick up sea melon seeds, and asked some words about study and life from time to time.

"I'll help you." There was Huashang in questioning, Zhang Qi saw that he couldn't get any clues from the old man, so he squatted down and helped Xiaoshan work together, making everyone's face show a strange meaning.

This is the director of the Public Security Bureau, even if he sympathizes with others, he doesn't want to be like this, Hua Shang even knows, let alone doing housework, Zhang Qi at home is a big man, and even the clothes to change after taking a bath are prepared by Su Qin, and he looks like a master when he pours tea and rice.

originally thought that Zhang Qi was a person who could only practice martial arts and learn, and was accustomed to not working since he was a child, but he didn't expect that picking up sea melon seeds would be faster than Xiaoshan and Agen combined, and he could be called a fast hand Zhang Qi.

"This police officer is very skilled, and he can pick seafood faster than me." Soon the work was done, and Huashang's side was also coming to an end, Ah Gen gave a thumbs up and said to Zhang Qi, there was no flattery in this.

If Agen knew Zhang Qi's identity, it would definitely be more than just such a fluttering sentence, and flattery was inevitable.

However, this kind of simple and sincere praise is what Zhang Qi wants, and he smiled at Agen, Zhang Qi walked to the water tank and scooped up a scoop of water, washed Xiaoshan, and then washed it himself, and handed the scoop to Agen.

Zhang Qicai replied: "Xiaoshan still needs to work hard, when I was as big as you, I picked it much faster than you." ”

"I ...... I'm just hurting my hand, and you'll know how fast it will be when I'm better. Xiaoshan blushed and said angrily, not hearing the joke in Zhang Qi's tone.

"Okay, next time I'll come and compete with you." Zhang Qi touched Xiaoshan's head and said, the latter only now raised his head expectantly, and asked, "You will help us, right?" ”

"Yes, you can rest assured, the next time I come and pick it faster, I will already help you." Zhang Qi squatted down and touched Xiaoshan's head again, "People like us must be stronger, study hard and learn to be a man, self-improvement is the only way out." ”

Everyone heard Zhang Qi's encouragement behind, but the previous sentence about people like us was in the clouds, but Zhang Qi's attitude was still very heartwarming.

"Director, I'm done asking, let's move on to the next one?" Hua Shang asked, "Or let them go to the police station to cooperate with the work?" ”

"Let's visit, go to the police station, they won't have to work today." Zhang Qi stood up and said, Agen on the side paused, and continued to move his sea melon seeds.

"Director Zhang, just now...... That, I'm sorry, I'm old and confused, this thing is done," Xiaoshan's grandmother finally agreed with Zhang Qi, "I'll take you to other homes to ask, I understand this matter." ”

"Auntie, just sit down, I'll take Director Zhang and this police officer there," a trace of struggle flashed across Gen's face when everyone couldn't see it, and he turned back to Xiaoshan's grandmother.

"How can this work, you still have to go into business." The old man pierced his crutches and said stubbornly, "Or let Xiaoshan go." ”

"Hey, it won't take much time, it's not a big deal if I deliver to the hotel later, it's not very convenient for you to move, Xiaoshan has to do homework, I'm the most suitable."

At Agen's insistence, Xiaoshan and Grandma kept sending Zhang Qi and Huashang to the door, while Agen put the seafood in the freezer cart not far from the door, and turned around and took Zhang Qi to visit these people.

With their own people leading the way, plus Zhang Qi and Hua Shang are different from the previous police, the more carefully they ask, the happier the old people and children are, but the incident has happened for too long, and Zhang Qi only needs physical evidence, and the villagers who have recommended themselves as witnesses are not of much help, and they are busy until almost ten o'clock, and the harvest is still not big.

"Director Zhang, you are the best policeman I have ever met, this is it!" After completing the questioning and walking back to the entrance of the village, Agen gave Zhang Qi a heartfelt thumbs up.

Zhang Qi's behavior not only amazed Agen, but even Huashang felt that Zhang Daxia was a little ...... today It's too amiable, the old and the old are not obvious, but the young and the young are obvious.

For those children, Zhang Qihe's pleasant appearance is simply regarded as his own children, and he has to educate and encourage them every time he goes out, and even made an agreement, saying that after completing this case, he will come to see them in the future.

Others may take it as a joke, only Hua Shang knows that Zhang Qi can do what he says, and what he says is what Zhang Daxia will do.

"Agen, you know that's not what I want to hear." Zhang Qi had already discovered Agen's abnormality, and couldn't help but say, he was looking forward to what Agen would know, since the other party was still wary, let himself dispel it, "What are you hesitating about?" ”

"Director Zhang......" Ah Gen said stunned, seeing the expression on Zhang Qi's face, he lowered his head and immediately raised it, and asked, "I want to know, why are you helping us?" ”

A lesson from the past, Agen is very proud and guilty of what he didn't say before, proud to say it early, he may also encounter accidents, guilty is to hide this matter, just like gnawing on the heart and bones, no matter how to help the people in the same village, that guilt will always be there, like a mountain pressing him.

"Look at these fatherless and motherless children, who will always have endless work, wearing the worst clothes, eating the worst things, no toys and only mud ......" Zhang Qi said with a little emotion: "Because I am also an orphan, and I ...... like them"
