Little Lotus Village.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the three of Lao Guo Tangtao and his party finally arrived at Xiaolianzi Village, which was very remote and poor.

Compared to Xiaolianzi Village in the city, it is exceptionally quiet, and there is only one uneven road in and out of the village.

The autumn wind rises, the leaves are flying, the mountains are red, and the crackling firecrackers in the col can be heard far away.

The courtyard of the Zhou family pulled up the colored tape, although it was not yet dark but the lights were already lit, the mourning and music bursts, the usually silent small mountain village became extremely lively at this time, and the narrow village road became a little crowded.

Fortunately, Tang Tao's driving skills are good, otherwise ordinary people would not be able to control this.

I have to say that the Wuling god car is really powerful, it still runs and flies on the mountain road, and the power is much better than what Baoshitai.

Still at the entrance of the village Lao Guo took off his police uniform and put an old coat on his body, along the way he told a lot of things about Xiaolianzi Village, almost every household can talk about the situation, just like Lao Guo said, the village used to be very rich, everywhere you can see very beautiful small western-style buildings, but unfortunately these small western-style buildings are now covered with moss, and some yards are even overgrown with weeds that are tall Qi people.

This place gives people the feeling of depression and emptiness, and the ill-gotten wealth is a mirror after all, and many people who once had a lot of money in their pockets are now in prison and their families are ruined.

When the first villager made a fortune because of theft, more villagers followed, knowing that they were breaking the law, but they could not resist the temptation of money, they followed the trend and chose to get something for nothing, comparing with each other, vanity, artificiality, from the beginning of the trembling to the later brazen.

In the eyes of many people, if one person does something illegal, everyone will attack it in groups, but if everyone does it together, then it doesn't matter, they are the same as each other, and there is no need to hide it.

Some people will be afraid of doing too many bad things, but more people will take it as a habit.

This is assimilation.

In layman's terms, it is the black of the near-ink.

The main reason why theft has become popular in Xiaolianzi Village is because there is a legendary Xu Banxian here, Xu Banxian's real name is Xu Keyong, he has been an orphan since he was a child, and when he was very young, he followed the fortune teller to set up stalls everywhere to tell fortunes, and called himself Xu Banxian.

Xu Banxian has no attainments in divination, and he can't even support himself, what he is really powerful is that he learned the skill of theft from the fortune teller, and carried it forward, and he is also known as the cloud explorer.

Xu Banxian has his own standards of behavior for theft, the poor do not steal, the sick do not steal, and all the things obtained are used for righteous deeds except for food and clothing, stealing the rich and helping the poor, so he is also called a thief.

After he was old, Xu Banxian would come once, and a large number of thieves flocked to him, and they all wanted to learn from the teacher but were refused.

Everyone gathered around the Xu family, so Xu Banxian had to come out to speak, and he was silent for a long time before saying a word.

The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people, and the great thief is the one who helps the world.

Everyone realized and left.

The next day, Xu Banxian left the village and never returned, it was rumored that he was arrested, and it was also rumored that he became a billionaire and washed his hands of gold.

Obviously, the people of Xiaolianzi Village believe in the latter more.

When many people are arrested, they will bring out Xu Banxian's "wise sayings" and say that everything they are doing now is for food and clothing, and when they solve the problem of food and clothing, they will donate the proceeds of theft, and the targets of their theft are those rich people, they are heroes and thieves.

Of course, the police don't believe these nonsense, what kind of thieves and righteous thieves, stealing is stealing, stealing is breaking the law, and breaking the law will lead to jail, no matter who steals.

Zhou Shuzao's father, Zhou Zili, used to be a militiaman and also planted herbs, and his life had improved, but after seeing more and more people in the village make a fortune because of theft, he couldn't resist the temptation to join the thief army, but unfortunately he was arrested in less than a month.

The Zhou family's house is still a three-room bungalow built a few years ago, even in the countryside it is very shabby, and even so, these three rooms were built by the two brothers with money.

This year, the county was once again listed as a key poverty alleviation object by the Zhou family, and the Zhou family pioneered more than ten acres of wasteland and planted a large number of medicinal materials.

Zhou Shuzao disappeared, her grandfather also committed suicide because of guilt, and the already stormy family lost two relatives at once.

Speaking of this, it is all sighing.

Sophie found that Lao Guo didn't know when he actually changed his clothes, and couldn't help asking: "Lao Guo, why did you change your clothes, are you afraid that you won't be able to give an answer when everyone asks about Zhou Shuzao's whereabouts?" ”

"It's not as simple as you say." Lao Guo smiled and said: "This is the countryside, many people can't do things according to the standards of the city, wearing a police uniform will only make people live, I take off the police uniform is still a policeman, if you get out of trouble, it won't be too embarrassing, you rarely come to the countryside, many things will be beyond your understanding, don't be nervous about what happens for a while." ”

In fact, what Lao Guo means is that no matter what clothes he wears, he can't change the fact that he is a policeman, and casual clothes are easier for people to let down their guard, which is more suitable for investigating cases.

Sophie muttered to herself, how much difference can there be between this rural and urban areas?

Besides, hasn't she never been to the countryside, never eaten pork, and never seen a pig run?

After the car was parked, the three of them squeezed in, and now they were already having dinner, and more than a dozen large tables were set up in the courtyard, and the men in aprons served plate after plate of dishes to the table, and the smell of food was permeated in the air.

The kitchen is under a big tree on the side, and the stove is hot and steaming.

In the countryside, red and white ceremonies are eaten with flowing water and then opened until no one eats.

As soon as Lao Guo appeared, a man dressed in a white cloth greeted him.

"Captain Guo, why are you here? It's really a rare guest, sit in the fast house. After the man finished speaking, he looked at Tang Tao and Sophie, "Who are these two?" ”

"Oh, new to our base, intern, come with me to have a look." Lao Guo introduced the situation of the man to Tang Tao and Sophie, "He is the Zhou Zili I told you." ”

"Hello."

Tang Tao stretched out his hand very friendly.

"Hello, please come inside, you haven't eaten yet, let's eat first."

Zhou Zili was not tall, his skin was dark, his eyes were bloodshot, and he had obviously not slept for several days.

The daughter disappeared, the father committed suicide, and the pressure on this person is unimaginable.

"Okay, you guys, I still have some things, I'll talk to you later."

After Zhou Zili finished speaking, he hurriedly walked away, his back was very vicissitudes, and he seemed to be unable to walk steadily.

Sophie stood in front of the side door and was attracted by the knife marks on the door, which were densely packed with countless knife marks.

"Don't look at it, this door is for killing pigs." Tang Tao said.

"Kill pigs? With a door? Sophie was stunned.

"Is it strange? In the countryside, the door panel was often removed as a pig killing stool, and these knife marks were left when the pig was killed. ”

Tang Tao shook his head and got in, Sophie followed, this is actually the place where the gift is registered, that is, the money that is often said in the city.

Lao Guo took out his wallet, took out all the money, and handed it to the person who registered.

Tang Tao thought for a while, took out all the money, and handed it over.

"Three thousand, Zhou Hai."
