At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, we finally arrived safely at the Dong'an Village Committee.

We were greeted by three men, Xu Huan, the village party secretary of Dong'an Village, Xiao Shi, the village policeman, and Liu Jingyuan, the police officer of Dong'an County.

Follow them into the house, there is a square folding table in the middle of the room, and the village party secretary pours two glasses of water for me and Li Meng, which is a large tea jar with rural characteristics.

This village party secretary is very young, he looks like he is in his twenties, he is full of anger, he is also very cultivated and polite in his words and deeds, and he wears glasses to give people a feeling of weakness and elegance, and he has nothing to do with the farmers in the countryside.

After questioning, I learned that because the situation in Dong'an Village is relatively special and the villagers are seriously xenophobic, in order to prevent the members of the village committee from colluding with the villagers and detaching themselves from the government, the members of the village committee of Dong'an Village are all appointed by the township government, and the same is true of the village party secretary.

What impresses me even more is that this village party secretary is only 25 years old this year, and he is a college student who just graduated last year. It was precisely because the township and town governments valued his quality and culture that they arranged for him to be the village party secretary in Dong'an Village, precisely because they wanted to use his advanced ideas to help reconcile the contradictions and hostility between the government and the villagers.

As you can imagine, he failed.

But no matter what the result is, everyone admires his courage, a college student who has just graduated, dares to come to the grassroots level to experience, is not afraid of hardship or tiredness, it is a good example!

Xu Huan, the village party secretary, handed us the water and asked with a smile: "How is it, the road is still going well, right?" ”

I smiled and nodded, took the teapot, and said seriously: "It's okay, I met a weird scarecrow on the way, and I didn't encounter any traps." ”

Hearing me say this, the village policeman Xiaoshi patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief: "It's good that we didn't encounter traps, we heard that the members of the serious crime team arrived tonight, and the village party secretary has been taking us along the road all day to investigate and clean up traps and roadblocks." I don't know if we've cleaned it up thoroughly, and I've been worried about it. ”

Li Meng picked up the teapot and took a sip of water, and asked very puzzledly: "Privately setting up roadblocks is a violation of the Road Traffic Safety Law, especially lethal traps, which are a violation of the criminal law, are the villagers legally illiterate?" Didn't you educate the law? ”

Police officer Liu Jingyuan shook his head helplessly: "We have carried out law popularization early, but the villagers just put on an attitude of knowingly committing crimes, and they will do it against us, we will demolish it, and they will be safe." We have even detained a few of the main culprits, but it has not had the slightest deterrent effect. The point is, almost every villager was involved in this incident, and we can't arrest everyone. ”

They also have their own grievances, and in the final analysis, it is the contradiction between the villagers and the government, and they are now fighting in a rebellious way, and the more the government does not allow anything, the more they will do.

This is a contradiction accumulated with small things, and it cannot be changed in a short period of time.

"The two police officers must be hungry, the conditions in our village are poor, there is no decent food, I will cook two bowls of egg noodles for the two of you to eat." After Xu Huan, the village party secretary, finished speaking, he didn't wait for us to answer, he stood up and was about to go to the kitchen. He wasn't talking, he was genuinely trying to get us some supper.

I thanked him for his kindness, hurriedly beckoned him back to sit down, and said with a smile: "Don't bother, we have eaten in the town, and while everyone has not rested, let's hurry up and exchange information, and tell me about the situation in the village, as well as the case of the discovery of human bones." ”

Xu Huan, the village party secretary, straightened out his thoughts, took a deep breath, and said very calmly: "Since the poisoned cattle incident, every family in the village has raised dogs, all of which are large dogs, and they are all free-range, basically not chained, and I am scared every time I see it. Three mornings ago, I was walking at the entrance of the village and saw a dog holding a long bone the length of an adult's calf. I didn't pay attention to it at first, but then I heard that there seemed to be a rumor in the village that Uncle Wang's dog in the east of the village had brought back a human bone, so I immediately took a small stone to Uncle Wang's house and retrieved the bone. ”

"How did you conclude it was a human bone?" Li Meng suddenly interjected.

Xu Huan continued: "I asked Xiaoshi to go to the town police station with the bones, and after forensic identification, it was an adult male's shin!" The town police station immediately dispatched the police to Dong'an Village to investigate the situation, but no one in the village paid attention to them at all, let alone took the human bones seriously, and everyone didn't care. ”

"And then? Was an autopsy performed? Has the deceased been identified? I hurriedly asked him.

Xu Huan shook his head and said helplessly: "The villagers did not cooperate with the investigation at all, and the town police station directly reported the situation to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the Municipal Public Security Bureau filed a case for investigation and conducted an autopsy at the same time. It's just because of the situation in Dong'an Village that the Municipal Public Security Bureau asked the Serious Crime Team to help, hoping that the members of the Serious Crime Team can think of a way, after all, the Serious Crime Team is the elite of the police. ”

Police officer Liu Jingyuan sat aside and added: "The specific situation of the human bones will be told to us by the Municipal Public Security Bureau tomorrow, including the results of the investigation and the autopsy." ”

I already understand the basic situation, and I can only wait until tomorrow about the human bone case. If you come to it, you will be safe, and we will do our best.

There are many rooms in the village committee, Xu Huan has prepared a room for me and Li Meng, and all kinds of toiletries and daily necessities are also very complete, Xu Huan is really careful.

Lying on the bed, I looked out the window at the moonlight and fell into deep thought.

This village is really strange, there are human bones in the village, and no one is shocked. Now all cremation is practiced, and if there are bones, it means that there is a murder, why do the villagers ignore it? It's strange that the police came to investigate, but no one cooperated.

It's really a poor mountain and a bad water! However, as long as the identity of the human bones and the cause of death can be learned through the autopsy, and then the investigation can start from the missing people in the vicinity, some clues can still be found in this case.

What really worries me is the identity of our outsiders, I heard that the villagers of Dong'an Village are very hostile to outsiders, otherwise they would not have set a trap at the entrance of the village.

I hope that when we investigate the case, the villagers will not make trouble.

Forget it, go to sleep, and talk about it tomorrow.

Just as I was falling asleep, I suddenly heard a scream from Li Meng.

I sat up jerked up and rushed straight out the door.

My worst fears have happened......
