Chapter 2: Spooky Mountain Village
The conventional method of solving homicide cases is to first confirm the identity of the deceased, and by investigating the social relations of the deceased, it is easy to find clues.
In the face of the boss's mouth about the dog eating human bones in this village, I put forward my own opinion: "I will find a forensic doctor to test the time of death of the human bones, and then investigate whether there are any missing persons who meet the conditions of the deceased nearby, so I don't need to go to this kind of case." ”
The boss looked at me seriously, his expression was serious, and he didn't seem to be joking: "You have to go to this matter, the people in Dong'an Village are relatively strong, I don't know why, everyone is very hostile to the police, and no one is willing to cooperate with the police." The local police station is also helpless, ready to ask a foreign policeman to help, as the saying goes, foreign monks are good at chanting. ”
The more I listened to this, the more strange I became, and I didn't know how to answer him for a while.
The boss kept looking at me, waiting for one of my decisions, but he didn't seem ready to give me the right to refuse.
I thought about it for a while, so I had to nod and reluctantly replied, "Okay, I'll take a look." ”
"That's right, I'll let Li Meng go with you, you don't have to work hard this time, just put some pressure on you."
In this way, I was coaxed and sent to Dong'an Village by the boss, and according to what I know about the boss, he must not have told me the truth, and this case will not be so simple.
The fact that human bones were found in the village but did not cooperate with the police investigation suggests that the villagers are likely to be aware of the case.
Dong'an Village is also in the province, but it is in a small mountainous area, which is not backward, but it is definitely not developed.
I started this "public trip" trip in a daze, but I was not the most confused, because Li Meng, who was sitting in the co-pilot at the moment, was still in her current position, and she still didn't know what the situation was in Dong'an Village.
When the car drove into Dong'an County, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and I wanted to drive directly into Dong'an Village and rest in the village committee. But the rumbling belly seems to have a mind of its own.
The nightlife in the small county town is not abundant, so I drove around Dong'an County several times before I finally found a snack bar that had not yet closed.
To my surprise, the boss was not happy because the business came to the door, but felt that we came to eat at this time, which affected him to close the door and rest.
"Boss, is this the direction to go to Dong'an Village?"
After ordering, I asked the boss for directions, not because I didn't know the road, but because I wanted to talk to the boss and ask about Dong'an Village by the way. There are some stories that only locals know.
Before leaving, the boss said that the people in Dong'an Village are very strong, especially with the police, there are deep contradictions, and they almost have an attitude of not getting along with each other. It is said that the police and the people are close to each other, and there must be a reason for this situation.
In order to prevent the villagers of Dong'an Village from not cooperating with the investigation, Li Meng and I both wore civilian clothes, and the car we drove was not a police car, and the disguised identities were two anchors of an outdoor live broadcast.
"You want to go to Dong'an Village, go all the way to the front, don't turn when you encounter a fork in the road, just keep walking." The boss looked like he didn't like to answer.
I didn't care about the boss's attitude at all, and continued to ask him, "How long does it take to get to Dong'an Village?" ”
The boss yawned and raised his eyelids slightly: "It will take more than half an hour to arrive, why, you have to walk at night?" ”
His expression was shocked, and he looked incredulous, which made me very puzzled, walking at night is not a strange thing, and now it is not ancient times, is there still bandits on the road who block the road and rob it?
I nodded at him in the affirmative.
The boss shook his head and looked at us with a smile, that look, coupled with the not very bright lights in the store, was very eerie.
"You are outsiders, I advise you not to walk at night, it's better not to even go to that village, Dong'an Village, it's very weird!" The boss's tone was very cold, without the slightest emotion.
Li Meng was very nervous after hearing this, put down his chopsticks and looked at me in a daze. At this time, I was also a little hairy in my heart, squeezed out a smile, and asked him calmly, "How weird?" ”
"This village is very xenophobic and hostile to outsiders, and they have set a lot of traps at the entrance of the village to harm outsiders." The boss's words made me stand up directly.
"Traps? This is a criminal act, don't the police care? Li Meng couldn't help but ask.
The boss snorted coldly, and then let out a wry smile: "Police? The police want to take care of it, but they can't! The police have come to the door to talk to the villagers several times, but the villagers don't pay attention to it at all. There are so many people in a village, it is impossible for the police to arrest the entire village, this is called not holding the public accountable! ”
After the boss finished speaking, he smacked his lips and instructed us: "If you have nothing to do, stay away from that village, they are a bunch of crazy people, crazy people who are not even afraid of the police!" ”
Taking advantage of the boss's opening of the conversation, I took the opportunity to continue to ask: "Shouldn't it, they all say that the police and the people are a family, do the villagers have any conflicts with the police?" ”
When the boss heard me ask about the conflict between the police and the villagers, he suddenly became alert and stared at us with a pair of eyes: "What are you doing in Dong'an Village?" ”
Li Meng immediately answered: "We are outdoor anchors, and we see that there is a Dong'an village on the map, so we are going to go there to play." ”
The boss looked us up and down, and said quietly: "When you want to talk about the conflict between the villagers and the police, it is not something that can be explained in a few words, this is the result of the accumulation of many things, resulting in the villagers have no trust in the police." ”
Seeing that the boss was about to tell us a story, I took out a box of Panda brand cigarettes from my pocket and gave one to the boss very naturally.
I don't know if it's because of our anchor identity, the boss was very happy to tell us the story of Dong'an Village.
"Dong'an County has jurisdiction over a total of seven villages, Dong'an Village is just one of them, I am a native of Dong'an County, Dong'an Village was only visited once when I was very young, now I think about it, it was nearly 40 years ago......
At that time, Dong'an Village was not like this, it was very hospitable, and the folk customs were also very simple. There are three major families in Dong'an Village, and the people in the village are all relatives and relatives, so Dong'an Village is very united.
If you want to talk about the conflict between Dong'an Village and the police, it is the result of years and months, and the two parties completely broke up mainly because of two things, one is the matter of the village being robbed, and the other is the matter of repairing the canal......"
