The twelfth lunar month is also like a child's face, whirring a Siberian cold current, it is freezing, and it is snowing, and there is no sunshine for several days. This season is actually the best time to live in the countryside, the door is closed tightly, the stove is flourishing, surrounded by the warm kang head of the wife and children, it is not to mention how happy it is, in fact, if it is not for the two cattle thieves at Guanyin Village and Hougou If there is a case, life will be more comfortable than now.
By the way, the more I thought about this case, the more I lost my voice. Li Fafada, the loser from Guanyinzhuang, went to the police station the day before yesterday, and when he came back, he whispered to another loser, Li Dazhai, with a dejected face. The main meaning was: it’s over , Brother, don't expect Niu to come back, the police station's dealers are all at home playing cards.
The news was very confirmed, and it was well-spoken. Li Dazhai looked at the woman who was still lying on the bed and couldn't get up. He didn't express anything other than pulling her hair and sitting on the threshold in a daze. There is no way to pass the day.
Hougou Village was not idle either. The village chief went to the police station twice and was persuaded by Wang Bin to come back, and once he was coaxed back by the new director. The village head took the lost cattle household to Jianhe to seek thanks to the old god.
Don't be surprised, Old God Xie is quite famous in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages. Looking at the haunted house, looking at the auspicious day, and pinching the horoscope, the workload is much more busy than that of the police at the police station. The village head and two cattle losers pooled their money to buy two bottles of sorghum white and a stick of red plum smoke. At any rate, they asked Xie Laoshen to burn incense and pray, and promised to teach a lesson in divination.
The compass is cracked, which means it’s old; the tortoise’s shell is polished brightly, so it’s not younger than the compass; as for Old God Xie himself, his hands are like old tree roots, his face is like old bark, and his face is gloomy. The whole body smells musty, and when he closes his eyes and mutters words, the viewer is terrified; when he opens his eyes, his eyes are cloudy, and the viewer takes a step back in fright, and then he hears the secret:
"Wow... Li Xiaoqiang, if your family loses a cow, it is a villain; Jin Dashuai, if your family loses a cow, it is also a villain. If you commit a natural disaster, you can live, but if you commit a villain, there is no salvation..."
In a word, in short, once the tobacco and alcohol were collected, the result came out: "Don't count on the cow, it's better to take care of the family and don't do other things first."
This is the end. The village chief was dumbfounded, but he didn't expect the old god to heal him. He slowly approached the old god and asked the old god as if to please the village chief for some money: "Thank you, the old god. What do you mean, we don’t expect the cow to come back, what kind of villain is this?”
"Hehe... His family commits a villain, and his family also commits a villain..." The old god smiled with his black smoke-stained teeth, dipped his finger in his saliva, and wrote a "two", a "little", and "little" on the table. A "person", seeing that the village chief was puzzled, wrote three words together. Once the village chief's whole body was shocked and his expression was awe-inspiring, the old god waved his hand and said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed."
In fact, Tianji has already exposed the bottom of his trousers. Two, small, and human are three characters combined, which is exactly the word "Yu".
In the whole township surnamed Yu, except for a bought woman, there is only one person left. Director of the police station: Yu Zui!
The combination of this secret and Director Yu's passive sabotage and no progress for a long time gave rise to new rumors: The whole town's loss of cattle was caused by villains. The person is Yu from the police station!
Because of dissatisfaction with the township police, because of the resentment for being stolen, slowly accumulated, and it was almost time to explode. It didn't take long for this word to reach Wang Bin's ears, and even he began to worry.
…
On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the eighth day since the first cattle-stealing case, the weather was still cloudy, but the face of the instructor Wang Bin who was hurrying on the road was even more gloomy than the weather. Hearing these nonsensical rumors, others take it as a joke, but he knows it very well. He has always loved and hated this ignorant place, and those simple and sometimes bordering on ignorant masses can do anything.
He has experienced a lot during his term of office. He once had an affair with someone, and was beaten to death on the bed by the patriarch. The whole town thought that this ruined guy deserved his death, and he didn't even report on this matter. The criminal police brigade of the county bureau tried to intervene, but was blasted away by the villagers. The recent arson case happened because the director of the police station at that time ordered the arrest of the villagers who were burning wheat stubble under the pressure of their superiors. The public was outraged overnight. They started to burn wheat stubble if they didn't burn it until they lit the fire behind the township government. The removal of the township chief and the director of the police station will be regarded as an end.
As a commoner, he is not lacking in courage, but as a policeman, he has no confidence. He knows that it will be fine if he ignores this matter, but now he has already boasted to the village, but he has dealt with it in such a negative way after turning around. He knows that he has to face it. That's right, the lightest is probably the saliva of the villagers' siege.
He hurriedly arrived at the institute, and when he entered the door, he turned his head and saw a faint halo. It was the sun covered by clouds and mist. The cloudy and snowy weather that lasted for many days should be over. As soon as he entered the door, he was stunned for a moment. The policemen in the east wing were busy making dinner. Dong Shaojun, who came from the city these days and got to know everyone very well, was helping to blow the fire. To his surprise, it was Director Yu who was at the Pulling an office chair, cross-legged, sitting in the courtyard, playing with coins.
Even Wang Bin, a layman like this, felt amazed at the coin playing. In the palm of his left hand, he slapped his right hand, and it flew up. When it fell, it spun on the back of his right hand. Flattened, the coin slowly stood upside down and settled...not fixed, but moving very slowly. Slowly roll to the tip of the middle finger, from the tip of the right middle finger to the tip of the left middle finger, and then slowly roll to the wrist. When it is close to the wrist, the right hand pads and pats from the bottom of the left hand, and the coins fly high Now, instead of reaching out to pick it up, he stretched out a middle finger to pick it up... As soon as he picked it up, his hand moved slightly, dissipating the force of the coin falling, and the coin seemed to stick to his fingertips, and he slowly retracted. Returning the middle finger, the coin suddenly loosened, as if it had been released from the bondage, rolling back and forth between the fingers...
"Hehe...you really want to play." Wang Bin looked at it dumbfounded.
"Playing is an attitude towards life. If you don't have a good attitude to play, I don't think anyone can stay in this place." Yu Zui said with a smile. Without looking at the instructor, he said, and Li Yifeng, who had already been fascinated by it, said, "Yes, I still want to eat."
Wang Bin stared, Li Yifeng shrank his neck in fright, and ran away with a squeak. He was just out of the hospital, ah yo was startled, the big white dog ran over, he screamed, and came back. Unexpectedly, the dog behaved very docile today, it barked, and then shrank behind a person. Oops, everyone took a closer look, and it turned out to be Brother Zhang Meng. He bent down and stroked the dog's head. The dog licked him meekly. He yelled for Dong Shaojun to throw a bone. The dog took it in its mouth and obediently ate it. Li Yifeng turned pale with shock, and walked not far away step by step, and asked Zhang Meng solemnly: "Brother Meng, this...is this Hu Niu's dog?"
"Yes, I just came back from her place, and it's called Dabai." Zhang Meng said tremblingly, but he always felt a little embarrassed when he heard that Li Yifeng had been chasing Huniu.
"Wow, you are so annoying." Li Yifeng didn't think about that at all, and raised his thumbs up in admiration: "You have conquered the bitches."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then laughed wildly, Zhang Meng blushed, and chased after Gou Shao and hit him. The young dog hid himself with a hippie smile on his face. Even the big white dog couldn't bear to look at that cheap look, so he turned around and ran away. All the policemen in the township pointed and pointed, some whispered about the scandal between Hu Niu and Zhang Meng, and some sympathized with Gou Shao. If the instructors were not present, chaos would have arisen.
With such a team at the stall, the instructor Wang Bin was really angry. He was about to talk to Yu Zui, but he was stunned for a moment. He saw that although Yu Zui was smiling, his hand was very steady, and the coin Still moving slowly on the back of his hand, it stopped firmly in the center of the back of his hand. Wang Bin sighed and asked, "Director Yu, how long do you want to play until the whole village coaxes to the door to question?"
"Poor people, there is always something to hate. They blame the police for the loss of cattle, just like blaming the poor for their lives. If they don't do that, I can't help it. The big deal is that the previous directors were kicked out. That's all." Yu Zui said with a smile, very calm, as if he had foreseen the potentially very serious consequences.
As soon as the director calmed down, the instructor felt unnatural, and he said earnestly: "Xiao Yu, the situation in this village is different from what you imagined. If you didn't come forward, this matter would have been resolved... Now that you have come forward, you will It has to be solved, the common people accept death, and you ruined all the little prestige that our police station had in one fell swoop."
"If you have to use donations, appropriations, and poverty alleviation funds to pay for the stolen goods, you don't need this prestige." Yu Zui raised his eyelids and said very bluntly. When the township policemen saw the director and the instructor rushing up again, there was no chaos, and they all quietly burrowed into the east wing, ignoring food, and pointing. He said a few words to help, but was stopped by Dong Shaojun. He whispered: "There are internal conflicts in the leadership team, you are meddling with it."
It's impossible to get involved, even if Wang Bin wanted to get involved in a case, he couldn't do it. These days it's snowing and cloudy, except for making noise and eating, Director Yu just stays at home playing with coins. He really doubts whether Ma Qiulin is watching Wrong with this person.
Yes, it must be wrong, he saw it, Yu Zui was still playing with coins with great interest, a new trick appeared again, when he crossed his hands, the coin disappeared, clapped his hands again, and disappeared again with clapping his hands again. After playing a few times, the joy on his face was very strong, seeing Wang Binku standing in the same place, he still asked with great interest: "Uncle Wang, you must not see how the coin disappeared in my hand, right? "
"Hide it in the sleeve." Wang Bin said disdainfully, but he was stunned immediately, and the palm of his hand was facing his Yu Zui. As soon as he changed the back of his hand, the coin was stuck between his fingers and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The instructor frowned. head, and asked dumbfoundingly: "Ah, it's been snowing for a few days, and you just close the door to practice this? I thought you had some clever tricks?"
"There is no good trick, but there is a bit of a bad trick. Uncle Wang, don't worry, sometimes you get angry and get angry, it doesn't help, you can't call the thief to our Yangtouya Township to commit crimes?" Yu Zui smiled and put away the coins , stood up.
"Then this matter can't be delayed any longer. Today is the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and it has been eleven days since the case was reported. If we don't solve it a year ago, I'm afraid the villagers will make a fuss and cause other troubles." Wang Bin said, yes A very serious tone. Yu Zui looked back silently. He respected this veteran policeman who worked so hard. It's just that the way they handle things is too different to reach a consensus.
So he smiled and asked mysteriously, "Does Uncle Wang think we didn't do anything?"
"Then what did you do?" Wang Bin asked back.
"Hehe, I will do it right away. If you are interested, how about helping me?" Yu Zui invited.
"What are you doing?" Wang Bin's face became tense.
"Eat, there are two rabbits stewed in the pot." Yu Zui smiled, and when he saw the instructor's face changed, he added: "After eating, go to work."
This ups and downs made Wang Bin's heart rippling, still feeling helpless and dumbfounded. He didn't leave, but waited in the yard. Although he didn't despise the character of the director, he had to admit At the level of director Yu, at least he has gathered all the township police from the instructor down to one place. He could see that it shouldn't be as simple as just eating rabbits...
…
A gust of north wind blew by, Hulala rolled up a piece of remnant snow, and the wind knocked on the car window. A Dongfeng small truck driving alone on National Highway 209 was staggering forward against the wind and snow.
At the fork in the road, the driver Yang Jingyong spun the direction and drove onto the secondary road. There were three people in the car side by side, wrapped in yellow coats. In the middle was an unshaven man with a crew cut and half white hair. The driver handed it over. Yang Jingyong asked casually: "Old Niu, how far is it?"
"It's not far away, more than thirty kilometers." The old cow said. The other cigarette was handed to the young man on the right. He was in his twenties, with a mustache, a shoehorn face, and disheveled hair. The old cow felt a little drowsy when he saw this guy, so he slapped him dissatisfiedly and said, "Big tank, don't you feel sleepy when you're full, or starving when you're hungry. Is it okay to watch it for a few days?"
"Master Niu, there's nothing wrong with it." The man called Daguan woke up a little bit, took the cigarette, and said in an emphatic tone: "Those township policemen are stupider than a calf and lazy than a pig. I passed by the police station yesterday, and they were yelling and drinking. Drinking, it's time for a holiday today."
"How many have passed here, is the village prepared?" the old cow asked.
"I collected walnuts and went in to check, but there was no movement... There are many cows here, and the mountains are big, and there are a few less, so he has nowhere to look for them." Big Vat judged logically.
This judgment made Lao Niu feel relieved. This job is not done once or twice. The mountains are deep and the valley is deep, and the land is sparsely populated. Let alone lead the cow, the men in the mountains will not bother to find a woman. Calculating the date, today is the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month. At this time, even the Stove Lord would not expect someone to come back with his carbine, right
Everything is done very carefully. The old cow who made his fortune by this method has developed a lot of self-confidence. He calculated it from the beginning. After Lao Qi and the others led a few pigs here, eight days passed I sent a large tank into the village a few times, but there was no abnormality, which only shows that this place is the same as all remote areas, if you lose it, you lose it, and no one can expect to find it again.
Even if someone reported the case, it would only add a few unsolved cases. He looked back triumphantly at the two large bags of feeding materials pulled by the car. The mysterious feeding materials were not found anywhere, let alone the police, as long as the Stove Lord broke them. I can't even think of it in my head.
The more he thought about it, the more confident he became. Halfway through the journey, he stretched out his hand out of the window and murmured: "Northeast by north, the wind direction has changed, the snow has stopped, and tomorrow will be a fine day."
The driver was already used to Lao Niu, an old man, so he smiled and reminded: "Lao Niu, I will accompany you out during the Chinese New Year. If it is a success, the toll must be paid."
"Hehe, don't worry, there will only be more and no less." Lao Niu said with a smile, and asked the big cylinder to close the window.
The car was driving slowly on the scattered snow-covered road. The unmelted snow had already frozen solid, and part of the melted snow was crushed into slush and frozen by the car. When the car drove halfway, it really was snowing and the wind was blowing, and the road under the headlights could be seen at a glance. After driving for nearly two hours, I saw the boundary marker of Yangtouya Township, discussed in the car, and drove six kilometers into the village. When I saw the shadow of the village in the distance, the car stopped.
The three of them got out of the car, scrambling, dragging and handing, and slid a big motorcycle on the car. The big tank checked the anti-skid chains on the wheels of the motorcycle, and the driver Yang Jingyong and Lao Niu carried two big packages. After the car was set up, the two of them worked together to put the big package on the motorcycle, one left and one right. With the sound of jet chug, the motorcycle staggered into the village, and the lights of the car were like beans, and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
But the truck spun around and returned the same way. Yang Jingyong asked the old cow: "Old cow, I feel that what you are doing is a bit wicked. Raising cows in the countryside is a lot of labor, and you take them away to unload the meat." gone."
"If you don't lack morality, you have to be short of money. There is no way, it is still lacking in virtue." The old cow smiled wickedly, baring his two big dies.
"Just be happy about it. I don't think I can do it often. I won't do transportation next year. I'll go out to work and run far away." The driver Yang Jingyong said, he knew what the purpose of the trip was, and he It's not the first time I do it, but the more I do it, the more I feel that my courage is slowly getting weaker, unlike Niu Jianshan and Zhu Dagang in my village, the more I work, the more courageous I become.
"If you don't do it, there are people who want to do it. If you don't look at your mouth, I won't take you away." Niu Jianshan said proudly: "Let's do it here, cross two markets, sell it and cross it again." In the two cities, even the king of heaven and I can’t figure out what we did... Hehe, I’m not bragging. The first Laoqi and the others in this industry went to big cities to buy cars and houses. I worked hard for them for half a year. I figured out the way... What happened? What happened? The thing I fear most is that too many cows are coming and I can't pull them away... Quack."
Smiling in the car, the car moved forward slowly, and stopped at a pre-marked place, which was shoveled into a three-to-four-meter earth platform, and a winding path went up to the top of the mountain.
Niu Jianshan in the car knew very well that behind the mountain was Jianhe Village in Yangtouya Township. According to his previous visits, there were a total of forty-nine households and ninety-eight cows in the village. The village is 11.4 kilometers away. As long as the cattle are turned over the first mountain ridge and out of the sight of the villagers, there is absolutely no danger of being chased. At this time, the big tank should have already baited on the road.
Everything is ready, Niu Jianshan looked at the time and it pointed to zero o'clock, he thought so, as if he saw the bright red banknotes waving to him...
