At noon, they ate instant noodles at the rest stop, then changed hands to Lou Lanfeng to drive and continue on their way. Along the way, Xia Xi didn't ask any more questions, the cooperation time in the future is very long, some are time to talk, trust and goodwill need to be accumulated slowly, and it is easy to cause disgust if you ask too many questions as soon as you meet.

The pairing of field operators in the Ministry of the Dark World has actually formed some kind of unspoken rule, like the FBI in the United States, which is basically a mixed work of men and women. This is the most efficient and sustainable way to work together. But many of the combinations end up secretly developing into couple-like relationships. Management turns a blind eye to this relationship, and seems to be using it to stabilize the relationship with the executives, consciously or unconsciously, which is a gray area in management.

In fact, the relevant departments of the Ministry of the Dark World have their own clear discipline, and during the service in the Operations Department, they are not allowed to fall in love and get married, and the operators joke in private: We are police dogs, and once we open meat, we must retire.

Xia Xi glanced at Lou Lanfeng, who was driving seriously, and had an inexplicable sense of fear and distance, thinking of his old partner who was on a mission together two months ago, and sighed with mixed feelings.

The original partner was much older than Xia Xi, and it stands to reason that he could have left the operations department a long time ago, but he was keen on an adventurous and exciting life, so he refused to transfer for a long time, and finally had an accident in the mission. In fact, Xia Xi also knows more about his deep-seated unknown suffering, he is a homosexual, confused about how to face a normal life after retiring.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at the Linmeng City Bureau, and the City Bureau sent a police officer named Ding Yuwei to accompany them to Dagu Village.

Ding Yuwei is about thirty-five years old, with a shrewd face, and when he greets him, he exudes a nonchalant energy, and he is sometimes enthusiastic and sometimes indifferent, which makes people scratch their heads. He didn't seem to be impressed with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but he didn't know much about what the Chinese Academy of Sciences did, so he opened his mouth and closed his mouth about what you are engaged in scientific research, and that tone seemed to tell Xia and Lou that in his eyes, purely technical people are outliers who lack a healthy and normal life.

He seems to like cars, and when he set off from the bureau, he rushed to drive: "I am from Qishan, and I know the road!" Xia Xi and Lou Lanfeng glanced at each other, and Lou Lanfeng threw the key to him.

Ding Yuwei's mouth was very broken, and he talked about it all along the way, introducing all his trips abroad such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Defarry, etc., and I don't know where he got so much leisure time as a front-line policeman, unless he was not welcomed. Time passed quickly, and after more than an hour, I passed by Qishan Town without stopping, and went directly to Dagu Village. Lou Lanfeng was already asleep when he heard this, and Ding Yuwei suddenly asked him: "Have you ever been to the United States?" ”

Lou Lanfeng closed her eyes and replied softly, "No." ”

Ding Yuwei said in a worried tone: "Our country is too closed to engage in scientific research, and it is controlled by various countries around the world. ”

Lou Lanfeng closed his eyes: "I haven't copied it." ”

Ding Yuwei sighed twice: "That's that, I believe you don't have this kind of idea subjectively, but young people have a narrow vision, and it is possible to walk on the road that others have walked and think that they are pioneers, many people are so captive that they don't know what it's like outside." ”

Lou Lanfeng was not angry: "I really haven't copied it, the one in the back may have copied it, you ask her." ”

Xia Xi seemed to be asleep in the back seat with her eyes closed.

A policeman has such a mouth, no wonder he spends so much time traveling.

At this time, it is already sunset, the twilight is shrouded, the birds are in bursts, and the mountain roads are in disrepair, becoming more and more bumpy. As far as the eye can see, the mountains are not high, belonging to the continuous hills, passing by a farmhouse, Ding Yuwei stopped the car and said: "Go to the toilet here, and there will be no place to go in a hurry." ”

When Loulanfeng came out of the toilet, he met Xia Xi, Xia Xi patted him on the back and said with a smile: "The blood is strong, and the tongue is fast." ”

Lou Lanfeng said: "You are used to being high, but I came up from the grassroots, and the grassroots have the vices of the grassroots, and everyone wants to step on you." ”

Xia Xi said: "You have to adjust your mentality to adapt to your new identity, and your ideas also carry traces of the grassroots. In fact, he thinks that we are nerds who are engaged in technology, and it is not as you think, some people just instinctively depreciate things they don't understand. Remember, the strong dragon does not crush the head snake. In addition, we are here to investigate, not to lead the case, we have no law enforcement power, and we will be polite to others. ”

After getting in the car and continuing to move forward, Loulan learned to use it, and asked Ding Yuwei very politely: "Brother Ding, how far is it from this aunt village?" ”

Ding Yuwei's mood was not affected at all, and he came to his spirit again: "This village is one of the most remote villages in our city, I grew up in Qishan when I was a child, but I have never been to this village, and it is estimated that it will be about half an hour away." I contacted the inside and they waited for us to have dinner together. ”

Xia Xi asked in the back: "You understand the situation, what do you think of this incident?" ”

Ding Yuwei sneered a few times, and he didn't know what emotions he set for himself: "If this happened thirty years ago, it would not be unusual at all, even now, one or two is very common, and it is difficult to say that five or six people are so short of time." ”

Lou Lanfeng's inquiry this time was very sincere: "How do you say this?" ”

Ding Yuwei glanced at Lou Lanfeng and said: "This Dagu village used to be a beggar village, and since ancient times, once there was a natural or man-made disaster, the whole village would go out to beg for food. After the liberation, the unhealthy trend was stopped for more than 20 years, but in the 80s and 90s, the trend was even more complete; in the past, there were still not enough to eat and really go to ask for food, but now there are many people who have eaten and drunk enough to go out to ask for money, and who have made a fortune by reaching out all over the world. ”

"So the personnel of this village have always been difficult to manage, and later the town cadres engaged in contracting, and they still couldn't keep an eye on people by relying on people, and they ran out a few without paying attention, and after a while they were sent back, and then ran away again after a while, not to mention losing a handful of people, even if half of the whole village ran away, it was not a thing."

Lou Lanfeng interjected: "The family who goes out to ask for money will know the situation, which is different from going missing." ”

Ding Yuwei laughed a few times, and then said: "We people in the city have a common problem, that is, they underestimate the flowery intestines of rural people. Do you really think that rural people don't know how to play? People play no worse than anyone else, and they dare to do it. The people in the city have a little three, and the trouble is endless, and the trouble is nothing more than a divorce. And if the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law of this big aunt village cheat, there is a high possibility that she will run away with a man and never come back for the rest of her life, which is much happier than that of people in the city. The people in this village have a bad foundation and a low sense of morality, what kind of good people can you say that people who have been lazy for generations can be? Elopement used to be common, so there were fewer people in the family, and it was really uncertain whether they ran away or not. What is it called? This is called having no permanent property at home, and the three views are not correct! ”

"Having said that, the situation has changed a lot in recent years, and the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine in their village has improved somewhat, and many people have their own businesses, and they have gradually reduced their money when they go out. Even if there is still something to go out, the situation has changed, from the previous anytime and anywhere to the current focus on farming or before the Spring Festival for two or three time periods, but now is the busy farming season after autumn, and it stands to reason that it is not the time for them to go out to fish the world. ”

Ding Yuwei shook his head to himself: "And what kind of combination is two women and three men?" It's not enough points. ”

Lou Lanfeng added: "Later, a town government staff member was added. ”

Ding Yuwei glanced at him: "So if you can't talk about local investigation and research, who the knows what the hell they are up to." ”

The trees on the side of the road gradually grew taller, and the road conditions became worse, sometimes there was a cliff on one side of the mountain wall, and the sky in the mountain seemed to be much darker than the plain, Ding Yuwei took the initiative to turn on the headlights.

The car got higher and higher, turned a few peaks, and a little light lit up in the col in the distance in the middle of the mountain, Ding Yuwei said: "That's Dagu Village"
