Officer Lin pushed open the door of the main hall and walked in directly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the time for the Taoist temple to open to the public has passed, the main hall is crowded with worshippers during the day, and the echo of the opening of the door can be heard at this moment.

Officer Lin spotted Wei Laodao at a glance under the statue of King Xinwen. After careful calculation, Officer Lin did not see him for a while. Officer Lin had developed a professional habit over the years, and with just one glance, he found that Wei Laodao's originally black temples had already shown a few silver threads. I can't help but sigh that time flies, and everyone is old in a blink of an eye.

"Who?"

Wei Laodao was holding the merit box in his hand, and he vigorously counted the tickets inside. Being disturbed at this time, Wei Laodao was obviously a little impatient.

"Don't be busy, I'll ask you something." Officer Lin casually closed the gate and walked straight towards Wei Lao Road.

Seeing that the person who came was Officer Lin, Wei Laodao hurriedly stuffed all the money in his hand back, and when he raised his head again, his face was already full of smiles.

"Officer Lin has a lot of opportunities, why do you have time to come to me today."

Wei Laodao wanted to lead Officer Lin to the inner hall to watch tea, but he didn't want to be pulled by Officer Lin to sit on the steps of the main hall together.

"Wei Lao Dao, the Taoist temple business has been booming recently?" Officer Lin looked around the hall and found that the original dilapidated wooden beams had long been renovated, and almost all the statues enshrined in the hall were covered with gold skins.

"Not so good." Wei Laodao shook his head again and again, but kept his face down, trying not to let Officer Lin see his expression.

Officer Lin knew in his heart that Wei Laodao was afraid of investigation. Even if they have known each other for many years, it is difficult for Officer Lin to make friends with people like Wei Laodao, not because he is greedy for money, no one in the world loves money, but Wei Laodao's hypocrisy revealed from his bones makes him dislike it very much.

"Who will believe."

"My officer Dalin, the incense of our Taoist temple is much more prosperous than before, but the cost has also risen in a straight line. You just say that the price of things outside has not increased in recent years, and I am talking about the current apprentices, but they are not much more expensive than when I was at that time. When Wei Laodao spoke, he kept looking at the reaction of Officer Lin on the other side.

"Alright, alright. I'm not here to check on you today, so don't tell me this. Officer Lin knew that if he didn't interrupt, Wei Laodao might cry until dawn.

Hearing Officer Lin say this, Wei Laodao slowly let out a long breath from his chest.

"I'd like to ask you something." Officer Lin said in a low voice.

"Even if you come to the right place, just because of our friendship for more than ten years, what do you want to know, I'll tell you everything." Wei Laodao looked sincere.

Officer Lin understands Wei Laodao's temperament, as long as you don't use his money, he can give you anything.

"You know that at the opening ceremony of the canal, dead pigs floated out of the river." Officer Lin was addicted to smoking, so he took a cigarette out of his pocket and put it in front of his nose to smell it.

"It's okay, you can smoke it. When I was nobody, I wasn't so particular. ”

Officer Lin was still hesitating, but Wei Laodao had already handed the lighter in front of him.

Officer Lin took a few sharp puffs, then exhaled a long smoke ring comfortably, and just as he was about to take a second puff, Wei Laodao had already begun to speak.

"If you are here for this matter, as a friend who has known each other for many years, I still advise you not to investigate deeply."

"I didn't want to investigate, but the mayor was pressing it tightly. According to normal times, I am afraid that this matter cannot be filed. With that, Officer Lin spat out a long smoke ring.

"That's the best, I advise you to check it casually, just settle this case hastily, and don't make any extraneous branches." Wei Laodao's tone was a little admonishing to Officer Lin.

"How?"

Although Wei Laodao's sudden concern made him feel funny, he could also hear that the other party had something to say.

Wei Laodao shook his head again and again, looking unwilling to say more.

This inevitably made Officer Lin, who didn't care about it, feel nervous, Wei Laodao has always loved money and talked a lot, and when chatting with Officer Lin, there was always no taboo.

Outside the main hall, the south wind blew the papier-mâché doors and windows in a chaotic manner. Wei Laodao's brows were tightly locked, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"You tell me the ins and outs of this matter carefully, I checked the news out of the main hall myself, and it has nothing to do with you."

Wei Laodao understands that Officer Lin is an upright person, and he has always been the same. Getting such a guarantee can be regarded as dispelling Wei Laodao's concerns.

"I've only heard about that organization in the last six months. There are many people coming and going in Taoist temples, and the bits and pieces of information are spliced together. I probably know that it was a global organization that had contracted the entire Dongshan Forest Farm a few months ago. ”

"Dongshan Forest Farm?" As long as he hears this name, Officer Lin will remember the sheep loss case 15 years ago, which was the biggest black spot in his career.

"Yes, I heard that the price is sky-high. The speed of the second half of the canal is also dependent on the huge revenue of the government. ”

"Are there any precious trees in there?" Officer Lin thought about it carefully, but he couldn't think of it.

"No, it is said that the other party is not contracting the forest farm to engage in timber business, but to do research. Now the entire perimeter of the forest area has been newly repaired with concrete fences. The last time the apprentice came back from there, he saw someone patrolling around. When Wei Laodao spoke, he had been carefully observing his surroundings, for fear of being listened to by others.

Officer Lin nodded earnestly.

"It's strange enough, but what does it have to do with the floating corpses of canal pigs."

Wei Laodao looked anxious.

"Listen to me. Ever since the forest farm was contracted, strange things have been happening in the surrounding area. One morning, as soon as the door of the temple opened, a young peasant woman rushed in. Originally, I didn't look at the fortune tellers in the morning, but when I saw her anxious face, I made it easier for her. ”

When talking about peasant women, Wei Laodao's eyes lit up.

"It's strange to say that this peasant woman sat down across from me and began to babble all the time. After listening to it for a long time, I understood. It turned out that she got up a little earlier than usual today, and when she pushed open the door, she saw a strange scene in the pigsty at the door. ”

"What's strange?" Officer Lin listened attentively.

She said she saw monsters biting on the necks of their pigs and sucking blood. What's even more strange is the pigsty that would have caused restlessness at the slightest sound. At that moment, all the pigs were sleeping peacefully. The monster spotted the peasant woman almost at the same time and fled the scene in an instant. The peasant woman turned and ran into the house, waking up her man as she ran. When the two of them went to the pigsty to check again, something strange happened, except for a little blood stain on the ground, there was no wound on the pig's body. ”

"It's really strange that you have sucked pig blood and left no wounds." Officer Lin held his chin in his hand and seemed to be lost in thought.
