The night was dark, and the wheels were sounding.

In the vast night, on the road from Siyuan County to Maozhong City, a black off-road vehicle was running at high speed.

Li Xiaohe was sitting on the off-road vehicle, and Xu Jianjun was driving.

Li Xiaohe originally planned to travel during the day on the 19th to attend the second anniversary of the county magistrate on the 20th. It was only because Tu Zhongfeng suddenly woke up on the 19th and explained many things, and then fell into a coma again, during which some matters were involved, that Li Xiaohe pushed back the time again and again.

The reason why Xu Jianjun also went to the city was to investigate Kuai Yulin's sudden death. According to Tu Zhongfeng's confession, Kuai Yulin's death was the result of Tu Zhongfeng's instigation and the cooperation of others, and the cooperating person was a vicious plan implemented in Maozhong City, so the police need to go to the city to investigate and collect evidence.

Because they had been busy, Li Xiaohe and Xu Jianjun set off in the middle of the night, and when they left Siyuan County, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning. Before them, the criminal policeman Xiao Liu had already taken a few people and set off first.

Looking at Xu Jianjun in the driver's seat, Li Xiaohe said: "Old Xu, you are too tired to drive alone, I'll drive for a while, you can rest a little." ”

Xu Jianjun shook his head lightly: "No, I'm used to driving at night." Besides, when Xiao Zhang and them were working overtime, I slept properly for a while, let's say two hours, that's enough, no problem. ”

Good friends insisted on driving, Li Xiaohe no longer persuaded him, but he was worried that the other party would fall asleep, so he found a topic and talked about it: "Lao Xu, when Tu Zhongfeng escaped, the route was not complicated, why didn't our police find footprints?" ”

Xu Jianjun said with a smile: "Director Li, you just said that we are incompetent. The main reason is that he missed the critical opportunity, and Tu Zhongfeng ran out of Siyuan County by chance. He fled at four o'clock in the morning, and it was already past nine o'clock when we received the county's order to conduct an investigation, and in these five hours, Tu Zhongfeng had already completed several key transfers.

Not far from leaving the county seat, Tu Zhongfeng heard the siren sound, mistook the passing police car for arresting him, and turned the road in a panic, and then abandoned the car and went up the mountain. After crossing two mountain beams, he arrived at the small mountain village, just in time for the small truck parked on the side of the road, and he took advantage of the driver's convenience to get under the tarpaulin, and then followed the truck out of the county. Judging by these coincidences, Tu Zhongfeng was lucky and lucky to have escaped for a few months. However, he was unlucky, not only lived a life that was neither human nor ghostly, but also ended up falling off a cliff and falling stupidly. ”

"Lao Xu, I didn't say that you were incompetent, you said it yourself." Li Xiaohe also smiled and said, "Tu Zhongfeng has this ending, and he is also to blame, he has done too many bad things." The entire mineral mining in the county was originally very orderly, but because of his desire for profit, he actually designed to kill the county magistrate, and then approved the procedures to rely on money, without considering personal safety or ecological protection.

At present, many mine owners rely on bribery to obtain mining rights, and then make a lot of money in the mines, which can be simplified and saved, and the destruction of mineral resources is not counted, but also leaves many potential safety hazards. Chai Wanjin of Xinglong Mining in Wuliang Township is such an example, in order to save mining costs, he privately changed the river and piled up slag, which resulted in the tragedy of two deaths. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, even if it rains for a few days, the river may not be in serious trouble, and the river will be flooded after a few hours of rainfall. ”

"Yes, the sin deserves it." After agreeing, Xu Jianjun smiled again, "Lao Li, I found a problem, which is very abnormal. ”

"What's the problem?" Li Xiaohe asked casually.

Xu Jianjun still smiled: "In the previous time, you were full of desire to catch Tu Zhongfeng, and you wanted to find out the cause of the death of the county magistrate from that guy's mouth." But when you actually catch that guy, you seem to be afraid of him talking, afraid of what he will say. What are you afraid of him? What has he suddenly mastered that is not good for you? ”

I secretly admired Lao Xu for being thoughtful, but Li Xiaohe said: "Lao Xu, don't deduct the." Tu Zhongfeng loves all the power, sex, money, and money, but I am upright and clean, can I have anything to do with him? What can he grasp of me? ”

"Lao Li, don't worry about talking about other things, don't change the topic, I didn't say that you embezzled money." Speaking of this, Xu Jianjun changed the topic, "It's just a woman...... Hey. What did you and the female secretary do that night? Don't say it's about work, it's dark in the middle of the night, in the barren mountains and wilderness, who believes it? ”

"I can't say a sentence or two, it's definitely not what you imagined." Li Xiaohe was sloppy.

Xu Jianjun "sneered" and said: "Don't prevaricate me with nonsense." If you want to say that you two were nothing that day, the ghosts don't believe it. Tu Zhongfeng must have bumped into the two of you, so you are afraid that he will say it. ”

"Lao Xu, don't talk nonsense. It's nothing for the two of us to be foolish, don't tarnish Secretary Leng's innocence, she is a decent female leader. Li Xiaohe had a serious look on his face.

"Only the two of you know whether you are innocent or not. Of course, I didn't say that she was not decent, but decent women must also have a normal life of men and women, not to mention that she is accompanied by an arid man. Since you don't say it, then I have to start with Tu Zhongfeng, and when he wakes up one day, I must get this lace news. Xu Jianjun said in a strange manner, "If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you don't do it." ”

"Occupational disease, a day of suspicion." Li Xiaohe snorted and diverted the topic again, "The sky has eyes, and I finally caught that guy." ”

"Well, the sky has eyes, and you can see anything." Xu Jianjun sneered with "haha".

When the sky was getting brighter, the off-road vehicle entered the "Gardener Jiayuan" community in Maozhong City, Li Xiaohe got out of the car, and Xu Jianjun drove away.

At this moment, Chen Yujie happened to arrive by car, waiting for Sister You's family, and everyone went straight to the cemetery.

……

When I arrived at the cemetery, it was already light.

found the tombstone engraved with "Endless Thoughts", Kuai Jiaojiao squatted down* and silently wiped the dust on it. When he wiped the words "Daughter is proud and respectful", the right hand holding the rag stopped and let out a soft sob.

"Jiaojiao, don't cry, don't let Dad see our sad appearance, let him know that we are living well, and let him rest in peace below." Sister You said, took the cloth from her daughter's hand, and continued to wipe the tombstone and stele base.

At the same time, Li Xiaohe and Chen Yujie were not idle, draped the tombstone with brand-new silk flowers, and placed the selected offerings they brought.

The old man Kuai Chengren did not do this, but stood there, staring at the three words "Kuai Yulin" on the tombstone for a long time, stunned and full of pathos.

After doing this, lit a pillar of incense, Sister You knelt down in front of the tombstone, and Kuai Jiaojiao, Li Xiaohe, and Chen Yujie knelt behind.

Staring at the tombstone, Sister You chattered, chatting with the people underground: "Yulin, we came to see you, uncle is here, Jiaojiao, Xiaohe, and Yujie are here." The days go by so fast, you've been gone for two years. I don't know if you're fast over there, is it a year to stare at this side, or is it much slower than here? I often see you in my dreams, and you are still like that, not old at all, as if you are still young. It's just that the face is a little pale, is there less sunlight there, or is the blood not smooth? In the past two days, I dreamed that it was dark in your place, did it also have a power outage? You are a warm-hearted person, when you are in our community, you like to take care of some public affairs, and you can take a leisurely time over there, especially the work of repairing electricity, so you don't rush to do it.

The temperature fluctuates these days, so you should pay attention to increasing or decreasing your clothes at any time, don't catch a cold, and I don't know if there are many pharmacies over there. We brought you money again this time, and when we go down the mountain for a while, we will burn it for you again, and there is a special place for burning paper money. The weather is dry, and the cemetery does not allow paper money to be burned, this has long been regulated, and you should know it. At that time, it is just a matter of walking a few more steps and taking it for yourself, which is all about exercising. There is a lot of money, don't be reluctant to spend it, the poor family is rich, if it's not enough, give me another dream, so that you can burn some more.

We are living well, you can rest assured. Uncle's body is still very tough, but he has been holding his breath for nearly a year, especially at the turn of autumn and winter. With me taking care of your uncle, you don't have to worry about it, just take care of yourself. Jiaojiao is also ...... now"

said that she didn't cry, but after a lot of chatter, Sister You still wiped the corners of her eyes.

Kneeling forward, Kuai Jiaojiao also reported to her father: "Dad, I have graduated from college, and now I am working at the same time, which is very fulfilling, but the current work unit is not what you expect." But don't worry, I'm still studying on my own, preparing to take the graduate school entrance examination, and the direction of study is in line with your expectations, and I will ...... after my studies."

Like her mother, Kuai Jiaojiao also ended her speech with sobs.

Kneeling and crawling to the place that had just been vacated in front, Li Xiaohe kowtowed three times to the tombstone, and knocked on the stele pedestal one by one, making a sound.

Everyone was surprised by Li Xiaohe's move, this did not conform to the procedure, and some etiquette was too big.

Just when everyone was surprised, Li Xiaohe shook his lips and made a sound: "County magistrate, I'm coming to see you." On the second anniversary of your departure, I would like to report to you a piece of news, good news. The murderer who poisoned you has been found, and he confessed it himself, and he ......"

"What?" The people all around shouted in amazement.

The old man Kuai Chengren swooped down even more, grabbed Li Xiaohe's shoulder, and asked in a trembling voice: "What did you say?" ”

"The county magistrate was killed, and the murderer has been caught." Li Xiaohe repeated with a crying voice.

"Yulin, the sky has eyes, woo ......" Sister You climbed onto the tombstone and let out a sad voice.

"Dad, Dad, do you hear me? Do you hear that? Kuai Jiaojiao caressed the other side of the tombstone, tears welling up.

"The county magistrate, the county magistrate, there are only two taels." Chen Yujie cried, muttering sentences that had been repeated countless times.

Kuai Chengren was also in tears at this time, and kept chattering: "Son, son, you can laugh at Jiuquan, son...... Woo......"
