A lot has also happened during this time, and the case for the quarry has finally been decided.

He Liwei was directly removed from his post because of collusion with the quarry's top management, as well as accepting bribes and dereliction of duty while in office.

Because the case in the quarry is particularly bad, after statistics, a total of 232 people have died over the years, and 32 women are missing, and countless people have been injured.

After investigation, the missing women were found on the way up the mountain to find their dead husbands, some of whom were brutally murdered, and some of whom were sold to human traffickers.

Most of them are sold to remote mountain villages to marry old bachelors who can't marry wives.

Because of the passage of time, these women have changed hands several times, and many of them can no longer be recovered.

The reason why this case has been tried for so long is because there are so many people involved and the whole case is very complicated.

The upper echelons of the quarry were not as simple as they seemed, and some people had already fled after receiving the news, making it very difficult for them to pursue them.

It took several months of investigation to find out the initial statistics.

Because the whole case has eyebrows and definite evidence, most of the suspects have been arrested, and the verdict can be pronounced now.

He Liwei was not only dismissed from his post, but also sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment under the combined punishment for several crimes.

Of those involved in the quarry, 15 were sentenced to death, 20 were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, and some others were also sentenced.

Except for the women who could not be recovered, the case has now been sorted out.

After the outcome of the case came down, Zhou Xinming personally came to the village to tell Jiang Li about the matter.

Jiang Li was also embarrassed after hearing this, and at the same time she thought of her mother.

"Is there any news of my mother? Is she really alive now? ”

Zhou Xinming shook his head, "After vigorous investigation and pursuit, our colleagues have only recovered three women, because there are only so many clues in our hands, and the others can't be found no matter how hard we try." ”

"As for whether your mother is alive or not, there is no definite evidence that she is dead, so it is possible that she is alive."

Jiang Li nodded, what Zhou Xinming meant was that his mother could be alive or dead, but there was no clue about her at all.

Jiang Li clenched her fists, she also wanted to find her mother, but what could she do if she couldn't even do it with the Public Security Bureau?

My mother's life and death are unknown now, and her whereabouts are also unknown, and now the traffic is so blocked, finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Just like when she was looking for her sister, she knew that she was in the northeast, and she even knew which village and which house number, but she couldn't find anyone if she didn't have time.

Now my mother has no clues, and she can't find it even if she wants to.

The uncle, who had been weaving outside, saw Zhou Xinming coming over and hurriedly walked in.

He sat quietly and listened, and when Zhou Xinming finished speaking, he stood up excitedly and pulled his arm.

"Please continue to investigate, and find my sister's whereabouts!"

Zhang Guocai's hands were very rough, his face was full of vicissitudes, and the expectation in his eyes really moved Zhou Xinmin.

"We will not give up, this case involves a wide range of cases, the impact is very bad, and the above also attaches great importance to it."

Zhou Xinming patted the back of Zhang Guocai's hand, he originally thought that Jiang Li would be very excited when he received the news, but he didn't expect her to be very calm, calm as if her face was expressionless.

"Jiang Li, aren't you worried about your mother's situation?"

Zhou Xinming couldn't help but ask, Jiang Li shook his head expressionlessly.

"What's the use of worrying, I don't know if she's alive in this world, let alone if she's doing well now."

"Even if I'm worried, I can't find her, it's better to live my life calmly, in case there are clues from her, I hope you can tell me in time."

"If I can, I still hope to get her back, after all, she is my mother, and I want to be reunited with her."

Jiang Li's words were very pertinent, and Zhou Xinming nodded in understanding.

"You're right, it's superfluous to worry about a situation like this now, it's better to stay calm like you."

"Zhou Xinming, you came here in person, and you brought more than just this news, there should be something else, right?"

Zhou Xinming nodded, and he took a volume of materials.

"I received a message from a new wanted criminal, and I need to ask you to help draw a photo, and the reward is 50 yuan."

Jiang Li took the information and looked at it for a long time, she took out the painting tools from the room, thought for a while and then began to write.

When Jiang Li painted the portrait of the wanted criminal, Jiang Yun, who was sitting very quietly on the side, also ran over to take a peek.

She was standing behind Jiang Li, and because she was short, she stood on tiptoe and looked curiously.

It's just an ordinary pencil, but it seems to have a soul in my sister's hand.

Lines are clearly and smoothly drawn out of the white paper, and these lines look chaotic at first, but gradually converge into a vague portrait.

As Jiang Li's movements kept speeding up, the outline of the portrait became clearer and clearer.

Then a three-dimensional face jumped on the page.

Jiang Yun looked at the painting on the paper in shock, and she was speechless for a long time in surprise.

Jiang Yun was originally tiptoeing to peek, but because he was too excited, he accidentally pounced forward.

Jiang Li finished painting like he was going to put away the pen, Jiang Yun suddenly pounced, Jiang Li's back was hit, and the pencil poked heavily on the eye of the portrait.

Not only poked a hole in the white paper, but also drew a long one.

The portrait that was originally completed was destroyed in an instant because of her small action.

Jiang Yun knew that she was in trouble, she shrunk her shoulders and trembled with fear.

Jiang Yun kept retreating until he reached the wall.

Her body leaned straight against the wall, looking at Jiang Li with a frightened expression, she shook her head desperately, and said silently.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Jiang Li looked at the destroyed portrait, and she sighed softly.

Jiang Li originally planned to continue painting, but her sister's state at this time must be comforted, otherwise there will definitely be problems.

Jiang Li walked slowly to Jiang Yun's side, she gently patted her shoulder, and whispered to her.

"It's okay, my sister knows that you didn't mean it, and my sister doesn't blame you."

Jiang Yun was still trembling with fear, Jiang Li took her in his arms and gently touched her back.

Jiang Yun knew that he was in trouble, and he didn't dare to refuse her approach.

She stood up straight and obediently leaned into Jiang Li's arms, listening to her comfort over and over again, as if the person who caused the trouble was her sister and not her.

Under Jiang Li's patient comfort, Jiang Yun finally regained his calm.

She raised her head and looked at Jiang Li with sparkling eyes, and said to her silently, "Sister, thank you." ”
