Sometimes details determine everything, but how this detail is made is a bit unbelievable.
Li Dai stroked his trousers to pick up cow dung from the stinking cow pen, and handed it out in piles. Zhang Guanping flashed a flashlight, and classified and marked according to the requirements of the people from the city. Li Yifeng, he covered his nose and hid away. far away. When I returned to the village, I started the investigation, asked the lost cattle households, visited the villagers, and the instructors Wang Bin and Ma Qiulin led the team. The two old men were very understanding. As for Director Yu and the others, they had already stood up at the township police station, waiting for the extracted cow dung to go back for testing.
There are no two identical leaves in the world, and of course it is impossible to have two identical piles of cow dung. Even Dong Shaojun was stumped by this subject if he wanted to make sure that the cow dung on the road was the excrement of lost cows.
DNA testing, forget it, there is no condition at all; blood protein, it is impossible to extract. The only way was through cow dung. He tried several methods. In the winter, he was so busy sweating profusely slicing, diluting, and quantifying through a microscope that he didn't say a word for two hours.
He is used to working in this kind of environment, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is a bit perverted. Li Yifeng and a group of rural policemen hide far away. Nausea? Not only peeled and read, but also sniffed on the nose, and had to tweezer something and shake it in the test tube... Ah, it's amazing to play with poop to this level.
"Is it useful? Can you get the cow back by looking at the poop?" Li Dai asked in surprise. Hey, someone gave him a slap, but when he turned around, it was the fierce Zhang Meng. Zhang Menghu said with a face, "You respect other people's labor like this?"
That's right, Li Dai was a little embarrassed, he smiled, and didn't dare to say anything even though he was slanderous. Li Yifeng knew Zhang Meng earlier, and flattered him: "Brother Meng, don't get angry with them, country people, what are you talking about?" I don't understand either... "
The compliment worked anyway, but unexpectedly the guy changed the subject and asked again: "Actually, we just think that looking for cow dung and looking for cows are necessarily related?"
"Are you asking me?" Zhang Meng grinned, pulled his face and said again: "Who should I ask? Go away, don't make trouble."
Throwing all the township police aside, he closed the door directly, everyone discussed, not only looking for poop, but also the policewoman went back to the city overnight, what kind of test samples did she take away, but anyway, it was far away from finding the cow It is still far away, and there is too much uncertainty to say anything.
All the township policemen had nothing to do, wandered out of the compound of the police station, just as Li Yifeng reached out his hand and stopped them all.
I saw the director, and then everyone saw it, and everyone held their breath, as if they saw something rare. Director Yu was squatting in the corner of the wall at this time, under the dim light, occasionally a silver light flickered, and upon closer inspection, the director was actually playing with a coin in a chic way, and when he tossed it, the light flew up , when it fell, it made a ding sound, and it was bounced back into the air again. After throwing it a few times, the pattern was renewed again, rolling and spinning like jumping elves between the fingers, and all the township policemen looked at each other in amazement.
"Wow... that's awesome, director, when will you teach me how to do this?" Li Yifeng found that the New World was like a new world, so he came over. Yu Zui smiled and threw it to him: "Try it."
This thing is not easy to get started, but once you get started, it is like having a cigarette between your fingers and wine on your lips. It is the best spiritual comfort when you are lonely and bored. Yu Zui didn't know when he fell in love with this subconscious little trick. He threw it to Li Yifeng to see a joke, but unexpectedly, Li Yifeng couldn't do anything else. He played this twice, and he was able to roll accurately between his fingers, still looking decent The ground bounced up, but this time it didn't work, it didn't connect securely, and fell to the ground with a ding.
"Ah, I missed it... Hey Director, where did you learn it?"
"Where did you learn it? Did you practice it?"
"It's the same as the Douzhuanbi. I used to play it when I was in school, and then I realized that the Douzhuanbi is also a little trick played by a cultural person..."
"Is that so? It's no wonder you didn't become a cultured person if you practiced so poorly."
Yu Zui sneered, Li Yifeng played with it, and said that it was quite similar to the pen-twister in the student days, that technique can play hundreds of tricks, the most powerful bucket-twisting pen bounces, flies a few meters high, and falls Sometimes it can still spin in the tiger's mouth. Yu Zui tried it, the coin bounced up and fell down in the blink of an eye, and it really spun in the tiger's mouth. This skill made Li Yifeng's eyes bulge again, and he called the director an immortal.
"This one, it's just familiar. It's not interesting after playing for a while. Hey, why are you all out?" Yu Zui leaned forward, as if he had been sitting for a long time, his feet were a little numb, so he changed his position and rubbed his feet . Everyone was squatting or sitting around the director, chatting all over the place. Naturally, the case was weird and muddled, and the most concerned thing was the next step. I'm in a dilemma, otherwise there wouldn't be such a subconscious action. That is a kind of thinking, and coins are the embellishment of thinking.
"I haven't figured out how they stole it yet. I'll wait until the village asks and confirms the traces before I can think of a way." Yu Zui said.
"Is it important how you stole it?" Li Yifeng asked impatiently.
"Yeah, the key is how to get it back?" Li Dai said.
"I reckon I can't find it. I stole the skin and unloaded the meat. It would have been exchanged for money." Zhang Guanping said.
You say it, I say it, I have a lot of worries, and there is no lack of the frustration of wanting to do something practical but being powerless. As a policeman, sometimes I want to express my sense of justice, and I often encounter a sense of powerlessness. I did not expect that the township police also have it.
Yu Zui smiled and explained: "If you want to catch a thief, you have to identify the thief; if you want to identify a thief, you must first understand his tactics, and only by understanding his tactics can you find his flaws. The knife does not cut wood by mistake, don't worry."
"Then what if I can't get it back?" Li Yifeng asked, his heart ached again, and he begged Yu Zui in a low voice: "Director, you can't let me pay the money for the four cows in Hougou Village."
"Hehe, no problem, how can I let you out." Yu Zui smiled, Li Yifeng's expression relaxed, Yu Zui's words came back, and he said: "Why don't you go and tell Hu Niu to let her help the rescue here?" .”
"Ah? How dare I?" Li Yifeng said, he didn't dare to accept the trick if the pot was not opened or lifted. Several colleagues giggled and laughed, some deliberately said that Sister Huniu went to the police station to find Brother Feng, and some said they were scolding the director in the yard. Li Yifeng was in a state of confusion, and wanted to ask the director for advice, but unexpectedly, a small Changan Star drove back from a distance, and it was the instructors Wang Bin and Ma Qiulin. When the two old men got out of the car, Li Yifeng immediately shut up. .
Yu Zui went up to greet him, the two old men who had a good chat were also a little frowning at this time, and motioned to go back to the office to talk, Yu Zui called everyone, and they all came in.
The first case analysis meeting was held in this poor environment, because Dong Shaojun's test was still going on, so he waited for half an hour longer. After being tired all day, he ate a few pieces of dry food, took advantage of this half hour, made a few more packs of instant noodles, and waited for a long time after eating, before Dong Shaojun came in with a piece of paper he had just written. Everyone looked at him eagerly. he.
"It's basically certain that the direction of those lost cattle is correct." Dong Shaojun wiped off his sweat, Zhang Meng moved a chair for him, and he sat down with a smile.
"How accurate is it?" Ma Qiulin asked cautiously.
"More than 90%... Comparing the feces samples, there are three samples that are almost the same as the samples from the owner Yang Shoumai's cattle pen. Digested corncob fragments, the residue of cow dung in other pens in the village is not so high... There are two samples that are the same as those in Li Wangbing’s cattle pen, which is confirmed by the residue of wheat straw fiber. The fiber is shorter than normal, and most of it has been digested... I did not find a comparison sample from the other company, but based on these similar samples, it is basically certain that the cattle disappeared through this road." Dong Shaojun said. What he learned for the first time is useful, and no matter how tired he is, it is also an inspiration to him.
Ma Qiulin nodded frequently when he heard it, and all the township policemen listened in awe. It is considered a fairy to find so much evidence from cow dung. Even the unsmiling Wang Bin paid more attention to this shy and quiet young man. Eyes, eyes full of admiration.
"Let me tell you what my instructor and I discovered." Ma Qiulin cleared his throat and said, "On the 29th, that is, the day before yesterday, the weather was fine, and most of the farmers in the village drove their cattle out for release. The breeding habits here are generally winter and spring. They are raised in captivity, free-range in summer and autumn, and kept in pens for most of the winter, and the day before yesterday was when the weather was good and the cattle were driven out to gnaw the residual grass on the slopes in the ditch... Who knows, the case happened like this.”
Ma Qiulin explained that there were more than 30 cattle that were released that day. With the stocking habits here, few people take care of them, and generally they don't. But after four of them failed to circle around that day, the villagers became anxious and searched the surrounding mountains all night, but found nothing. When the two asked, they focused on whether they had seen strangers before and after the incident, but what puzzled them was that the situation here was similar to that of Guanyinzhuang, and they had never seen any strangers at all. .
"Let's look at the terrain of the village. There is a road out of the village. The village is in the middle of a valley, surrounded by mountains, with long slopes. In winter, the trees are sparse and the grass is sparse. With good eyesight, there is a rabbit on the opposite hillside, and you can see it. Right?" Wang Bin sighed and said, "But Mr. Ma and I visited more than 30 households with hundreds of people, some of them were drying corn, some were burning compost, and some were chopping firewood. stranger, the cow is lost."
That's right, old horses know the way, old cows know the way, and the sense of direction of livestock is much stronger than most people. Since it is impossible to get lost, it is infinitely close to the possibility of being stolen.
"Yes, here lies the crux. Let's brainstorm, how did the cattle get stolen? This is very important to find the cattle thief... Although it is three kilometers away from the secondary road, the road is too long. Everyone I walked for more than ten kilometers, right? How did the cattle be taken away for such a long distance? It must not be killed. If you kill the cattle, it is impossible to leave nothing behind; I thought they were taken away, but according to the introduction of the villagers, This cow is not so easy to lead, and it is not easy for strangers to get close to it... I have tried it myself. When you come to it, it will run away. Leading the cow's nose is just a way of saying. I am afraid it is not so easy to put the rope into its nose. , you have to approach it first, right?"
"It's not impossible. Those who understand the temperament of cattle should be able to do it." Wang Bin interjected.
"That's right, this reflects the first characteristic. The suspect of theft has breeding experience. At least he should be familiar with the temperament of livestock. For example, it is not so easy for some of us who come from the city to lead the bull by the nose. "Ma Qiulin said with a smile.
"It doesn't seem right, no matter how you say it, it is impossible for a stranger to be led away by the nose, right?" Wang Bin said.
"Yes, this is the main problem to be solved. If you figure this out, you may not be far from the thief." Ma Qiulin said. Looking at the crowd, he added: "Before we thought that it might be feeding and abducting without one, but this idea was overturned by Instructor Wang."
"The reason is that the mountain wind here is quite strong, especially at night when the temperature is low. Once the mountain wind blows, it will be cleaner than sweeping." Wang Bin said. When he heard this sentence, Yu Zui frowned, as if he had grasped What, but fleeting.
The two old men sang and sang in harmony, very tacit understanding, but they didn't say anything specific, let alone what happened next, Ma Qiulin said: "Everyone says that sometimes wisdom lies in the masses."
Zhang Meng looked at Dong Shaojun, and Dong Shaojun said sincerely: "My ability is limited to this, and I can't catch a thief... But I think it is very difficult. Since I can steal it quietly, it means that the suspect must be a master at it." , It is not very difficult to make the stolen goods disappear. Starting from the second-level road, it takes 20 minutes to leave the market and an hour to leave the province. It is also the New Year's time, and the demand for meat, eggs, poultry and fish is very high. I think the lost cattle should have been Turned into beef."
This point just hit Wang Bin's heart knot, he pursed his lips, not embarrassed. In this case, the cost of investigation is even higher than the cost of not investigating. Taking a step back, even if a lot of energy and manpower are spent to find out who the thief came from, the lost property cannot be recovered. Adding insult to injury.
"Xiao Meng, what about you?" Ma Qiulin said.
"I don't think it's fun to catch a few cattle thieves. If there are gun cases and homicide cases, I will be included." Zhang Meng said, slapping his chest fiercely, stunned all the township policemen.
"Yifeng, don't talk small things down there, put something on the table." Wang Bin shouted. Li Yifeng, who was whispering to Li Dai and complaining that he was hungry and nobody cared about him, raised his head in shock. He smiled and asked uncertainly, "Uncle Bing, do I have the right to speak at this meeting?"
"You can just say what you want, so much nonsense." Wang Bin said dissatisfied.
"Hehe, I think, this... shall we make a different decision?" Li Yifeng said uncertainly, Ma Qiulin was strange, and asked aloud: "What do you want?"
"I thought about it just now. I went back to find my dad and set up some poverty-stricken village assistance projects. I want to allocate funds..." Li Yifeng said, every time he talked about his father at home, it still gave him a sense of accomplishment, but the words obviously ran counter to it. up. Ma Qiulin looked at Wang Bin strangely, but Wang Bin seemed to have changed his mind, and asked expectantly, "How much can I ask for?"
"The forest animal husbandry project can cost around one hundred thousand."
"Can I have it?"
"Almost, if you don't give it to someone, you might as well give it to our township."
"However, the distant water can't quench the near thirst. How can I explain the loss of five households in Niuhu?"
"This...how about I find a way to put it on the mat first?"
The dialogue between the two can only be understood by people in the village. Poor villages have ways of living in poor villages, and relief is one of them. Dong Shaojun and Zhang Meng looked at each other, but they didn't know why the case was transferred to the ticket. Ma Qiulin didn't know much about the affairs of the village. He turned his head and asked a somewhat stupid village policeman, and the village policeman explained in a low voice before he understood. This township receives poverty subsidies every year, and many villages have formed support pairs with some units in the county. It is not uncommon, just to ask for some money. Ma Qiulin suddenly understood that this was trying to find a way to make up for the losses inside the embankment from outside the embankment.
When everyone was discussing, Dong Shaojun's phone rang, he answered the phone with his head down, and then called Yu Zui, the two whispered a few words, at this time Ma Qiulin noticed, Yu Zui who had been frowning all the time seemed to get an answer, and stretched out Alright, he thought to himself, this kid must have discovered something new.
"Calm down, calm down... You can handle the allocation of funds and subsidies by yourself, but I think that since the theft has happened and the case has been filed, try not to close the case hastily, otherwise what will you do if you get thieves again? The cow will be stolen again , do you want to use that countable appropriation to make up for it?" Ma Qiulin said.
This sentence temporarily suppressed his voice, and Wang Bin's face looked a little unnatural. Li Yifeng managed to sell himself in front of the instructor, and he said: "Mr. Ma, you should understand the situation in our village. Look at it Look, everyone is so tired after walking for a while, it's almost Chinese New Year, we can't let the brothers... "
His words stopped abruptly, not because of any other reason, but because Yu Zui was looking at him and smiling, Li Yifeng felt a little guilty from this expression, it was the director's usual expression to torment others. He subconsciously shut up, and only then did he notice that everyone was speaking, but the director did not speak. In this village, the director can be regarded as the highest police command.
"Everyone, get ready. We will start intervening in the case tomorrow... Instructor Wang, I would like to trouble you to make another trip to reassure the villagers. There will be a result soon." Yu Zui said, and got up by himself. When there was a dispute over whether or not this matter could be done, and how to do it, the director had already reached a conclusion.
Standing up, Yu Zui looked at everyone with a smile. It was a kind of extreme excitement and pride, just like discovering the mastermind of drug trafficking and the trace of the thief king. He took two steps, turned around and gave a mean smile. A sentence that is neither yin nor yang:
"I just figured out how the cow might have been stolen. I think they might come again, the thief who dares to swagger and steal the cow in the daytime, seven cows can't satisfy his appetite."
After finishing his sentence, everyone in the crowd was shocked. Wang Bin looked at the people brought by Yu Zui strangely, Zhang Meng was still in a daze, Dong Shaojun was a little stunned, and even Ma Qiulin was pondering. Yu Zui seemed to deliberately leave room for everyone to think, and walked out by himself. As soon as he went out, Ma Qiulin asked, "Xiao Dong, what was the call just now? Director Yu suddenly became enlightened."
"Zhou Wenjuan called, and the test results came out. In the place where the feces were found, there was saliva residue, and the green things found around the feces were traces of green pigment, and the components in the saliva were not qualitative. It has been sent for testing, and the results may be Slow down." Dong Shaojun said. Ma Qiulin frowned and thought, Li Yifeng blinked and looked at everyone in a daze, and asked Zhang Meng: "Brother Meng, why do I feel that Director Yu is not just looking for bullshit, but like bragging."
"If I can blow you a few cows, that won't solve the problem." Zhang Meng said with a smile.
"Not necessarily, he spent a lot of time dealing with thieves in the anti-pickup team." Dong Shaojun said.
"Then pickpocketing and theft are not the same thing, right?" Zhang Guanping said.
The instructor Wang Bin was said to be confused again. He consulted Ma Qiulin. The brows of the old theft detection expert gradually relaxed. ... Instructor, you can try, some things can't just be thought about, you have to try in practice. The key is not to make too much noise, and the cow has to be released."
It was another sentence that made everyone confused, but Ma Qiulin kept silent about what he had figured out, and didn't reveal anything. It just started in a daze. The first thing was not to prepare, but to sleep...
