When the instructor Wang Bin led the team back to Guanyin Village from the mountain, the time was already pointing to 22 o'clock in the evening. The wind in the mountain area is strong, and the whistling mountain wind blows past. If you walk carelessly, you will be blown unstable. From ten o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock in the evening, I only sipped a few sips of cold water and dry food in the middle. I was exhausted to the extreme, but I still got nothing. What I found was cow dung that had been frozen to dryness.
After entering the village, many people took a breath and sat down on the big millstone by the side of the village. The light of the flashlight swept across, and there were some eye-catching slogans on several earthen walls in the village:
To get rich in the countryside, play less mahjong and plant more trees.
Farmers want to get rich, have fewer children and raise more pigs.
This is the slogan of previous years, and now there is a new slogan due to the severe situation of forest protection and fire prevention:
Setting fire to mountains is a crime.
When Wang Bin sat down, he caught sight of this slogan. In fact, in rural areas, especially in remote rural areas, the awareness of the rule of law is limited to this. The reason why the awareness of the rule of law is weak is that there are very few illegal crimes. Throwing three cows in a row like this can be regarded as the first major case in his tenure.
Yes, it was stealing cattle. He found a secondary road along the mountain road from the village, and he could almost tell that the cattle had been transported away from a few spots of cow dung. But he didn't dare to say this judgment at all, and he didn't dare to tell the result to these simple villagers in the village who valued big animals more than wives. The whole town of Yangtouya lacks water, and there are many mountains and little flat land, which is not conducive to the use of large machinery. Large livestock play the role of the main labor force in the family here, and they cannot do without farming and plowing the land for a year. The development of animal husbandry in these years has doubled the number of cattle and sheep in the township, and 30 to 40 percent of the livestock is sold every year, which is almost the main source of the township's per capita income.
"Old Bin, what are you going to do with this matter?" said the village chief Li Daqing, a stocky man in his forties, looking a bit dull.
"I'll discuss it with the director later, ah, don't worry, you are especially optimistic about Dazhai and the development of the two, don't do anything else..." the instructor said awkwardly, and now he can only give such an excuse.
"Don't talk about that dog, it's not that..." Party secretary Li Xiaoyuan asked, looking forward to it.
When it comes to Li Yifeng, the young dog, Wang Bin is not angry at all. When he came to Yangtouya Township, he just created a few stories about stealing chickens and dogs in the village. At least those who were present knew that the black dogs in the neighboring village were all He was caught by Gou Shao and stewed in soy sauce and braised in soy sauce. He made a fuss about it to the police station. In the end, Wang Bin came forward to pay for the incident. But now that such a big event is on the table, Wang Bin didn't dare to count on this guy at all. He hesitated and said: "If you calculate the market price of three cows, it will cost 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. If it is not right, it is right, why let others pay for it... Besides, do you think he looks decent?"
"What about the director? Didn't he say that it would be resolved a year ago?" the village head asked. If you can't count on the instructor, you should look to the director.
Wang Bin looked at it again in embarrassment. He really didn't want to hit the folks in the village. He nodded and said, "That's possible. The director's specialty in the city is to catch thieves."
"It's good to be brave, it's fine if you can catch it." The village chief said.
"Roughly the same."
Wang Bin prevaricated a few words and fell silent. Pickpocketing and theft are not the same concept. He understands this kind of thing, but he can't ask the villagers to understand it. He persuaded everyone to go home first, promised a few empty words, and the police station will take care of it to the end. Seeing the villagers a little disappointed, he felt equally uncomfortable.
His distress is based on his understanding of police affairs. In the case of cattle theft in remote villages, it is impossible for the rural police to be able to catch the thief, and they can't even afford the basic police funds. Even if the case is closed, the lost cattle may not be recovered. During this New Year's Eve, Wang Bin estimated that the poor farm cattle in the countryside would become a delicacy for the people in the city.
But what is even more pitiful are these folks in the village. He cursed secretly, and was about to go to Li Dazhai's house to comfort him. He touched the more than one hundred yuan in his pocket and wondered whether he should leave it for Dazhai's house first. . While thinking, Li Dai rushed up, uncle and uncle shouted, at this time Wang Bin remembered that he was not fighting alone, and now that Yangtouya Township has grown up, he asked aloud: "Yu Suo How long?"
"At the village committee." Li Dai said.
"What?" Wang Bin asked.
"Inquire, look for clues." Li Dai said.
"Any clues?" Wang Bin asked.
"I don't know either." Li Dai said.
"You know how to eat, don't you?" Wang Bin cursed and walked away with his hands behind his back.
That's right, a village with a strong labor force, looking all over the mountains and plains for a day without a whereabouts, can sitting at home have results? Li Dai hurriedly followed. He introduced inarticulately, he was indeed looking for clues, that is, he gathered the villagers and asked about the situation in the past few days, whether there were any people who collected mountain goods, whether there were any people who came to sell New Year's goods, etc. . Wang Bin sneered at this method. He knew that the director was about to go astray, and all attempts to use police means to solve the problem were the result of hitting a wall here and never passed.
The two joined the village committee one after the other. The villagers had already left, and the villagers had already rested early. Wang Bin saw Director Yu, Li Yifeng, Zhang Guanping and several village policemen talking with their heads together. Talking to a map, he was about to go in, but when he heard the discussion, he stopped suddenly, and reached out to stop Li Dai behind him.
"... To do this, you first need to check the location. At the very least, you need to know whether there are cattle in this place, how many cattle are there, and whether there is any possibility of attack. Therefore, everyone who enters the village is suspected. There are few dogs, so count them." Yu Zui Talking while staring at the map.
"Two people who sell new year's goods, three people who collect mountain goods, three people who exchange rice, and one who exchanges walnuts... how many are there?"
"Eight..."
"Nine, idiot. The rice changers come at the same time."
It was the first time for Li Yifeng to be so dedicated to his work. He scribbled on the leather of the cigarette case and wrote the facts of the case he obtained from the inquiry. He argued with Zhang Guanping, and Zhang Guanping gave him a look. , Li Yifeng asked strangely: "Director, what do you see? There is a cow on it?"
The map of the township administration, the only one of the village committee, was circled by Yu Zui. When the two didn't understand, Yu Zui explained with a smile: "Guanyin Village is very closed. If you choose this place, then this place must have something to offer. Department. Tell me, what are the merits?"
"The place is remote." Zhang Guanping said.
"People are stupid, there are so many cows." Li Yifeng said, causing Zhang Guanping to roll his eyes at him.
"Yes, and there is basically no law and order force. It takes half an hour for the township police station to get here." Yu Zui said.
"The township police don't work. It's okay to go up the mountain to catch rabbits and pheasants. Ask them who has seen thieves?" Li Yifeng sneered, not feeling that he was one of them.
"Yes, that's right, that means there is no law and order force. The key point is that although this place is in a mountain depression, it is only three kilometers away from the straight line of the second-level road section. You see, as long as the cattle are transported to this place, it will be in the second grade. On the level road, you will leave the jurisdiction area of Taiyuan City in 20 minutes." Yu Zui said, drawing a line, it really is very short.
Zhang Guanping didn't understand. Li Yifeng wasn't stupid. He glanced at him and said, "Impossible, director. I have to climb two mountains? I haven't seen any outsiders in the village for the past two days, so who came to steal the cow?"
"Let's not talk about strangers, just come here with an animal. Everyone in the village knows that it's not from our village." Zhang Guanping said.
"The most strange thing is here. Within two days of the incident, I haven't seen a stranger. How could it be possible to steal three cows in a place the size of a palm? Dazhai said his wife drove the cows away. In the middle of the mountain, there are more than one cows in the village who gnaw wheat stubble... How did they steal two ends of her house? If it was really stolen... there must be a thief? Could it be that they got lost?" Yu Zui frowned, and started Doubt your own judgment.
"Oh, I'm miserable." Li Yifeng felt uncomfortable, and said with a bitter face: "Will I have to buy a few cows to pay for that?"
"Bie Nima only cares about the money, let's figure it out first." Yu Zui reprimanded him, he was really good at it, but he couldn't soothe Gou Shao's wounded heart, he continued to pour out bitter words: "Can you not feel sorry? Three One cow is enough for us to go to the city several times, I haven't figured out where the money will come from!"
"Shut up, talk about this again, believe it or not, I don't care about you." Yu Zui stared and said, it worked now, Li Yifeng didn't dare to complain, looked at the director sternly, and drew a picture on the map thoughtfully. Circle, muttering to himself. There is also a strange place, it is said that it is lost, but it can't be lost without finding all of them, right? Say it was stolen, but I didn't see a single figure. This Zhuangzi is halfway up the mountain, and there are few shrubs in winter. In the terraced fields on the opposite mountain, even if there is a rabbit running, you should be able to see it clearly. But I asked many people in the village, but no stranger came.
Wang Bin came in quietly. As soon as he came in, Li Yifeng and Zhang Guanping stood up nervously. He signaled not to disturb Yu Zui's train of thought. Several people looked at each other, waiting for the director's wise judgment. Sure enough, Yu Zui put his hands on his forehead, closed his eyes, and murmured, "If I were a thief, I would steal three or five heads from one village, and a few villages would be a group. You can sell a few stolen goods from one head." Thousands of dollars, these dozens of heads, is it tens of thousands of dollars... Well, good business, if someone really uses this brain, the money will be quite fast... During the New Year's Eve, don't worry about selling beef. Selling stolen goods is better than stealing cattle It's even easier... yes, it should be stealing."
The instructor stared, but he didn't expect that the superior sent him such a guy. The other township policemen giggled and waited to see the director make a fool of himself. Yu Zui was shocked when he saw the glaring director, and laughed dryly. Explained a few times: "Instructor, don't mind, I'm thinking in another way."
"Thinking? Don't you also want to steal cattle to make a fortune?" Wang Bin said coldly, looking very contemptuous of Yu Zui.
"I major in criminal investigation, and I have several good teachers who taught me. If you want to be a good policeman, you must first understand the thinking of criminals." Yu Zui said, this is his nonsense. His teachers probably all Still in prison in Guangzhou.
He smiled and clicked the marks on the map and said: "I was thinking just now, if I were a cattle thief, then it would be a little less for me to just steal three cows. Take the risk, if the opportunity is good, I will make a big one... You see, Guanzhuangyin is in this position, and there are several places like it in our township, such as Jianhe Village, Baishitan, Hougou, these villages On one line, there are two mountains away from the second-level road. Although the road is far away, the straight-line distance is not long. As long as the transportation problem is solved, other problems will not be a problem. It is such an easy place to start, so it is not easy to make a little money just go?"
"You... what do you mean by that?" Wang Bin was confused, and all the township police were also confused.
"Let me put it simply, in our words: this should not be an isolated or independent case." Yu Zui said seriously, and immediately changed back to evil, explaining straightforwardly with a smile: "For example, I am a thief. The day before yesterday, I successfully stole three cows from Guanyin Village, and then I waited for you to rush back and forth to Guanyin Village to find them, and I went to Jianhe, Hougou, or any place where I had stepped on it, and then stole a few more... you guys Didn't I get killed, not to mention, no one knows how I stole it?... Yes, how did I steal it? Three cows, each weighing nearly half a ton, hiss... It takes several people to carry the beef. ?”
Yu Zui was extremely curious about the mystery of the cattle thief, and he asked himself that he didn't have that ability.
The township policemen were taken aback by the head of the thief, and there were some who suspected that the thief didn't steal much.
Wang Bin shook his head, pursed his mouth, and was really speechless to evaluate his partner.
As he froze, Wang Bin's phone rang in a hurry, and the village chief Li Daqing also rushed over, shouting the instructor's name. As soon as he answered the phone, his face changed in astonishment. The village chief had already rushed in, out of breath, and said: "Old Bin, it's broken... There are also cows lost in the back ditch, and four of them are lost, just like us. I thought I missed the circle on the mountain and didn’t take it seriously, but I haven’t found it until now... "
"I see." Wang Bin put down the phone, and the director just sent an alarm. At this time, he was strange. In this closed place, all the things that can be predicted are witches except Yin and Yang, and now he has to be added. partner. Yu Zui smiled, and said with a smile: "Instructor, you should be happy. The more reckless he commits crimes, the sooner he will show his feet... Tell Hougou Village to rest, and I will personally go to the scene... Go, call the police!"
He got up and rolled up the map and left. His words seemed to have invisible prestige. Even Wang Bin followed behind him mechanically. Li Yifeng, who ran the fastest, chased after Yu Zui excitedly and asked: "Director, director... How did you figure it out? You wouldn’t be with the cattle thieves, would you?”
The admiration for Yu Zui is already endless, if they hadn't been together all the time, he would almost suspect that the boss stole the cow. When he asked such an awe-inspiring question, several township policemen surrounded Yu Zui in admiration, and said that the director was better than the yin and yang in Jianhe Village. , I know where I haven’t been. Yu Zui smiled and said, "If you want to steal something, I have seen someone who robbed his ancestors. Let's see how I can find him out."
A group of people got into the car and left in a row. The instructor Wang Bin looked at the virtue of the new director who looked like a village bully. It was really unattractive, but he followed. Concerned about the lost seven cows.
