Out of Qingyang City, to the south and west are the so-called mining areas, the closer to the mining area, the more difficult the road is, the black asphalt road has been crushed into potholes, like an ugly scar, stretching forward.

"Isn't there anyone who builds this road?" Wang Dong's body continued to rise and fall with the car, and he swore that this road was the most difficult road he had encountered in his life, and there was no one.

"Repair?" Xia Zhiqing snorted softly, paused, and complained, "Who repairs?" The government is also the owner of the mines that destroy the roads. ”

Wang Dong didn't understand the meaning of Xia Zhiqing's words, of course the road is not good is the government's problem, if the government has no money, those mine owners who make a lot of money should of course repair this road, after all, every day on this road are heavy trucks pulling their ore.

Knowing that Wang Dong had just arrived in the city of Qingyang, and probably didn't know what these mining areas outside the city were like now, Xia Zhiqing sorted out her thoughts and said: "It's not that the government doesn't want to build this road, but there is no way to repair it." ”

"A few years ago, when the iron ore market was hot, the road was crowded with trucks pulling ore......

"If you want to build a road, you have to close the road first, but every day it flows out a lot of money, and any mine owner must stop the truck and wait for the government to finish the road."

"It's only been a few years, and the road that used to be full of traffic has suddenly changed, and as you can see, there are only a few cars running on the road now......"

"The price of ore fell too fast, and the business of the mine owner was naturally not as good as before, and now everyone is struggling to maintain, waiting for the day when the price of iron ore trucks will rise, but is that day really so easy to come?"

"If there is no car running, there is naturally no need to repair this road, and now it is so dilapidated, and I don't know when someone will repair it."

Wang Dong didn't know much about these things outside the city, but after listening to Xia Zhiqing's explanation, the doubts in his heart became even heavier, and the source of the deceased Gangzi's money became even more confusing.

With the beginning of the chat, the atmosphere in the car gradually became harmonious, and unconsciously the topic of the two of them talked about the murder case that had just happened, but it was not Wang Dong who talked about it first, but Xia Zhiqing, who had never given her exact opinion.

"When I first watched the scene of the crime, my opinion was similar to that judged by Meng Xu, it should be the dispute caused by the contradiction between the murderer and the deceased, maybe it was the size of Gangzi that gave the murderer enough oppression that he had to take some action to protect himself......"

So he took out his knife and killed Gangzi with his most skillful movements. Wang Dong guessed according to Xia Zhiqing's meaning.

"That's right, in fact, this case is not very difficult to detect...... Xia Zhiqing's expression on her face was a little relaxed, and then added: "But I am interested in your analysis now, so many police officers in the city are enough, so today you can go with me to the mining area to see if there are any other gains." ”

"You'd better be prepared, though." After finishing speaking, Xia Zhiqing smiled at Wang Dong a little slyly, and then turned into a stuffy gourd, no matter how Wang Dong inquired, he didn't speak.

Why do you need to be mentally prepared to go to the mining area?

With this doubt, Wang Dong rode Cayenne and slowly approached the rust-colored land.

The huge pit exposed on the surface, like a huge scar, was reflected in Wang Dong's eyes without concealment, this kind of open-pit mining pit is not one or two, it looks like it is endless, extending into the distance, Wang Dong, who has never seen this kind of picture, was suddenly stunned, pointing at these scars and muttering speechless.

"Well, I've never seen it." Xia Zhiqing is not surprised, this kind of county and city that relies on selling resources to obtain large sums of income is not the only Qingyang family, when the price of iron ore is high, high taxes cover up all contradictions, and when this huge huge profit is not so sufficient, the contradiction is reopened, the road is only one aspect of the contradiction, and there are more and more complex contradictions have gradually surfaced.

"That's what you call mental preparation?" It is indeed worth some preparation for yourself, even if Wang Dong, who has seen strong winds and waves, he was frightened by the scene in front of him in a daze, some pits are only a few meters away from the road, and from the car, the pit is bottomless.

"This is just one of them, and even greater preparations are yet to come." Xia Zhiqing replied softly, her eyes fixed on the road ahead.

Bigger preparation? Wang Dong's eyes widened, and he looked at the pit near him in confusion, he really couldn't think of anything that would shock him more than these huge potholes, if they really existed...... So what could it be?

After the car drove through this section of the road, an asphalt fork appeared in front of it, and the Cayenne flicked it and drove in the direction of the fork.

Wang Dong's eyes were attracted by the huge buildings in front of him, if the feeling of the mine just now was shocking, then the feeling that this group of buildings gave him could only be described in two words, dead silence.

The huge building area is not very high, compared to the dozen or dozens of floors in the city, the floors here are surprisingly low, the highest is only four floors, and most of them are only three stories high, and the buildings themselves have been covered in black soot, looking from a distance, it seems to have returned to a few decades ago.

"...... this?" Wang Dong opened his mouth wide and pointed to the buildings in front of him.

"This is the family area of the rich iron mine in the past, when the number of people was the largest, there were about 20,000 or 30,000 people, but now the mining area is not profitable, and the young people who can walk are almost gone, and the rest are these old people who are reluctant to leave." The Cayenne drove past the front of the building, and a group of elderly people were gathering together to play chess and poker, wearing clothes like costumes from TV dramas, which suddenly made Wang Dong feel like he was back in the era of smoke and smoke a few decades ago.

After walking forward for a distance, the car finally stopped in front of a two-story building, and the smuggling Xia Zhiqing naturally did not look for a useless parking lot, so she parked the Cayenne car directly in front of the building, honked the horn a few times arrogantly, and then jumped out of the car.

Immediately after, a window on the second floor was pushed open, and a voice with a local accent scolded: "Which ghost son honks here, why don't you be locked up for a few days first." ”
