Chapter 9: From Teacher to Chairman
Song Yiyan ran away.
Director Chen: They pounced. According to nearby villagers, Song Yiyan left at around 5 p.m. He carried a large canvas bag on his back and walked towards the west side of the village.
When Ren Qiuling heard the news, she only smiled bitterly: If Director Chen didn't add a little judgment to himself and directly said Song Yiyan's name after hearing his profile at that time, then Song Yiyan would have been arrested.
Although Lee Myung-bak had already contacted his superiors and set up control on several major roads where Song Yiyan might have escaped, Ren Qiuling had a feeling that this person might not be caught. Because Song Yiyan is a very smart person.
Song Yiyan's feud with Niu Chaoshu is still a mystery. The two know each other, but at most they have met and nodded their heads. One of the two people is a hawker, collecting some mountain goods and medicinal materials; The other is a teacher, who receives a salary and eats. It's hard to say what the benefits are entangled. From the perspective of interpersonal relationships, the two also have no friends in common. In fact, Song Yiyan is very introverted and basically has no friends.
That night, a strange news came from a highway inspection point in the distance: Song Yiyan showed up.
At that time, several police officers were inspecting a vehicle driving at night, and at this time, a person with physical characteristics very consistent with Song Yiyan was carrying a canvas bag and walking along the road.
The officers didn't believe their eyes, and one of them shouted, "Song Yiyan!" ”
The man agreed, "Hey! ”
Several police officers immediately pounced on the man, only to see Song Yiyan float in front of their eyes and then disappear.
What's even more surprising is that the investigation point is more than 100 kilometers away from Jinshui Town, how could Song Yiyan walk so far in a few hours?
Ren Qiuling recalled Zou Jian's introduction to the art of raising little ghosts, and came to this conclusion: The art of raising small ghosts will be limited during the day, but more spells can be cast at night.
Now the case is basically solved, but when it comes to evidence, there is actually no evidence at all. Even the wooden plaque suspected of being used to raise imps cannot actually be used as evidence.
The next day, Ren Qiuling and Lee Myung-bak visited Straw Hat Village Primary School and Song Yiyan's house again.
Song Yiyan's reputation is excellent, and no one in the local area believes that he will kill people.
"He's a very caring teacher, do you see this ditch?" The principal of Straw Hat Elementary School, a chubby middle-aged female teacher, pointed to a ravine near the school and said, "Don't look at the usual nothing, when it rains, this ravine is filled with water, and it is still very dangerous - I mean very dangerous for elementary school students." Teacher Song Yiyan must stand in the water himself when the water rises in the ravine, and carry the children across the river one by one. ”
Ren Qiuling remembered the case that Village Chief Luo was concerned about, the 50,000 yuan bridge construction fee. However, there was no bridge in sight over the ravine, only a cement slab resting on two piles of rocks. If 50,000 yuan can only buy such a cement slab, then it can explain why the house is so expensive.
"By the way," Ren Qiuling said, "What happened to the 50,000 yuan bridge construction fee?" ”
The principal sneered: "What else? Seriously, they didn't even give us any bones left, we ate them all! ”
Although Ren Qiuling knew that this was the result, she didn't expect Village Chief Luo to be so bold and have such a dark conscience.
Lee Myung-bak said: "However, Village Chief Luo has a receipt in his hand!" ”
The principal of the elementary school said, "I know where that came about? At the beginning, the money passed through the hands of Village Chief Luo, and Mr. Song looked for him several times, but he said that he was busy. One day, I met Village Chief Luo on the side of the road, and Mr. Song asked about the money again. Village Chief Luo said that there must be a proof of this, you can give a receipt. ”
Lee Myung-bak nodded: "That's right, cash transactions must have certificates." ”
The principal of the primary school said: "Yes, Mr. Song didn't think about anything else, and he made a receipt at that time. After Village Chief Luo got the receipt, he patted his bag and said, "I don't have enough money on me now, so I'll send the money later." Teacher Song has been teaching, and when he thought about how bad people's hearts were, he agreed. ”
Ren Qiuling had already guessed the end of the story, and then Village Chief Luo of course did not admit it, and took the receipt as a voucher, saying that he had given the money to Mr. Song. On the one hand, this is because Song Yiyan has been teaching and educating people and believes in the inherent goodness of human nature; Second, the society of the mountain village is a society in which people believe in people, and people are relatively simple.
"Something like this happened, and no one came to investigate?" Ren Qiuling asked.
The principal of the elementary school said, "What are you looking for?" If there is a real lawsuit, it must be Mr. Song who loses. In the end, Mr. Song had no choice, so he saved some money for his mother's treatment and made such a cement slab. It's better to have a cement slab than nothing, don't look at this ravine, there were three elementary school students drowned the year before last. At that time, Mr. Song took his mother out for treatment, otherwise such a thing would not have happened! ”
Ren Qiuling remembered that it might be a spirit card used in the ghost cultivation technique, and asked, "Among the drowning elementary school students, is there a child named Sheng Haohao?" ”
The principal said, "Sheng Haohao? Where did you hear that? The kid was naughty and ran to the cupboard to play, but the old-fashioned wardrobe turned over and suffocated him to death - it was also the poor economy of the mountain village, and he couldn't afford to make new furniture, and if it was the current wardrobe, there would never be such a thing! ”
Song Yiyan raised five little ghosts, and now he knows the origin of four. Ren Qiuling asked: "From the year before last to this year, have any children died in accidents?" ”
The principal said, "How to say, there is another one, in the third grade, if you have to die of a sudden illness, it is not an accident." How can there be so many accidents? ”
The school visit only got this information, Ren Qiuling planned to visit Song Yiyan's mother, but was told that Song Yiyan's mother had died three months ago - she was already mentally abnormal before she died, seemed to see something, and often yelled: "Two thieves, get out, get out!" "A roar is an afternoon. Fortunately, Song Yiyan's family lived in a relatively remote area, which did not affect other people.
"What she might see is bull's head and horse noodles." The principal of the primary school said: "That's what everyone in the village says. ”
Song Yiyan's family basically did not find any useful evidence, and even his family did not have anything valuable. Ren Qiuling didn't expect that a teacher's family would be so poor that she didn't even have a sofa.
Walking out of Song Yiyan's house, everyone was silent, no one thought that poverty could be so shocking.
The case of Niu Chaoshu's murder came to an end with Song Yiyan's disappearance. Lee Myung-bak told Ren Qiuling: "There are very few cases of supernatural beings with sufficient evidence. In fact, you did a great job of solving this strange case in less than forty-eight hours. ”
Ren Qiuling said distressedly: "The truth has not been revealed, how can the case be solved?" You don't know, when faced with this case, I often feel a sense of powerlessness. What I've been pursuing is not the sense of accomplishment after solving the case, but the truth. However, I never felt like I was so far from the truth. ”
It was more than two months before things took a turn for the better.
At that time, several high-ranking officials in Dongfu City were dismissed one after another, causing a sensation throughout the country. It is said that the same whistleblower had sufficient information to allow the disciplinary authorities to send the men to prison without much effort. The whistleblower called himself a "mountain village teacher", which really scared some guys.
Ren Qiuling had officially joined the Special Affairs Department at this time and became the leader of an action group. They suspected that the whistleblower might be a paranormal - because some of the photos could be taken with the nose of a high-ranking official, which ordinary people could not do.
During the monitoring of the whistleblower, Ren Qiuling suddenly saw such a picture from the monitor of a store, and the whistleblower held up a handkerchief, covered his nose, and then swallowed a pill.
When the handkerchief was lowered, it was already stained with blood.
The whistleblower was dressed in old-fashioned and expensive clothes, and he had a beard, which was very different from Song Yiyan's image. However, when he found that the monitor glanced timidly and immediately slipped away, Ren Qiuling almost jumped up from his seat and shouted, "Song Yiyan!" ”
