1961, Sleepless Night on Bonfire Day(1/2)
When everyone hears the words "Bonfire Festival", everyone's heart is still a little confused, and they don't know what this festival is about?
But when they thought about the blueberry picking festival in Wangchao Town, which was probably similar to this, everyone suddenly became nervous again.
"What's going on at the Bonfire Festival?" Lu Weiwei stepped forward and asked Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zhengze said without thinking: "Actually, it's an event over at Fuxing Village."
"Fuxing Village?" Lu Weiwei looked around, shook her head and denied, "I've never heard of it."
"It seems to be a new village that has moved here, right?" Officer Wang is an old comrade after all, so he naturally knows more about these aspects than Lu Weiwei.
"New Village?" Lu Weiwei looked dumbfounded and quickly asked: "What kind of village is this?"
"It is said that people from other provinces migrated here to settle here, and then established a new rural area with the locals, so they have retained their customs and characteristics from other provinces."
Officer Wang thought briefly for a few seconds, and then said thoughtfully: "I seem to have seen it in a report by Jiang Xiaomi before, and it seemed to be an introduction to Fuxing Village."
"That's right." After hearing Officer Wang's words, Director Xu Feng nodded in agreement: "I also know a little bit. I have a relative who said he was going to attend some bonfire festival, but when I heard it, there is no such thing as a bonfire festival here.
?”
"But my relative said that of course there is a bonfire festival here, but it is just held in a small village."
"It's something with folk custom characteristics. I don't know the details anyway. However, I heard that this is not the first time it has been held. It seems that this time it will be more grand."
"Jiang Xiaomi?" After hearing Officer Wang's words and Xu Feng's introduction, Gu Chen suddenly became interested.
So he quickly asked Zhou Zheng for confirmation: "Zhou Zheng, how can you be sure that this briquette must be in Fuxing Village? Did he say it himself?"
"Yes." Zhou Zheng nodded silently and confessed frankly: "Because before, you always told me that you should contact the people at Wangxian Valley here in Wangchao Town."
"But later, I heard that there were flash floods caused by heavy rains there, and the rescue team accidentally discovered something fishy in the mountains."
"There seems to be some problem, but what is it specifically? I don't know. I just know that many police officers are heavily armed and are going to the mountains to search for something?"
"Although there is no definite answer, I know very well that something must have happened at the other end of Wangxian Valley."
"So during this period, I received news from Wangxian Valley, saying that the meeting time was changed to the next event."
"Although the other party didn't say it clearly, in fact, I know that the next event is the Bonfire Festival. This is the most recent event and has been held several times in a row."
"However, it is said that this year we have received support from above and are planning to expand the scale of this event. By then, many tourists will go to Fuxing Village."
"I think the Wangxian Valley group will also go there. They need cover, and the Bonfire Festival undoubtedly creates the best conditions for them."
"What about briquettes? Will he go?" Gu Chen asked.
Zhou Zheng hesitated for a few seconds and nodded silently: "Maybe, after all, something happened at the Wangxian Valley, and Coal Ball is actually the one who is most worried."
"So this time I was arranged to go over and find out the specific situation, but in fact I know that every time I communicate with these people, Briquettes is actually next to me, and he may have been monitoring me."
"Do you have evidence?" Gu Chen asked.
"No." Zhou Zheng shook his head: "I have no evidence to prove that Briquettes is with me, but I know clearly that he will definitely go to Fuxing Village."
"He needs to personally control the level of risk so that he can make his own next move."
"What else do you know?" Gu Chen recorded these in the record and asked Zhou Zheng again.
Zhou Zheng shook his head: "I don't know about the others."
"Where is Coal Ball's chat account?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"I'll give it to you." Zhou Zheng glanced at Xu Feng. Xu Feng took out Zhou Zheng's mobile phone, which was wrapped in a transparent evidence bag, and said:
"I confiscated his mobile phone and waited for you to come over."
"Tell me the account number that Coal Ball has contacted you." Gu Chen said.
Zhou Zheng nodded silently and began to inform Gu Chen of the account number between himself and Coal Ball.
Gu Chen handed these to Lu Weiwei and asked Lu Weiwei to contact He Junchao to lock the account.
On the other side, Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and directly dialed Jiang Xiaomi's phone number in Jiangnan Daily.
The call was quickly connected, and Gu Chen walked directly to the corridor and gently closed the office door.
"Gu Chen, why did you remember to call me?" Jiang Xiaomi was quite curious when she saw Gu Chen calling.
Usually everyone only communicates in the circle of friends and rarely contacts Gu Chen on the phone.
Therefore, Jiang Xiaomi was also quite curious about Gu Chen's call.
Gu Chen didn't mince words, and went straight to the point with Jiang Xiaomi: "Xiaomi, I heard from Senior Brother Wang that he saw a report you wrote about the Fuxing Village Bonfire Festival. Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Jiang Xiaomi, who was also a little confused by Gu Chen's question, asked him curiously.
Gu Chen quickly asked: "What's going on at this Bonfire Festival?"
"Oh, it's actually a display of folk activities in Fuxing Village. The details..."
After thinking about it, Jiang Xiaomi quickly said: "Eh? Gu Chen, you suddenly asked this, are you going to participate too?"
"There is a case..."
"I understand." Before Gu Chen could finish speaking, Jiang Xiaomi immediately understood: "There is a case involving the Bonfire Festival, right?"
"Yeah." Gu Chen agreed, and then said: "A certain gang that our criminal investigation team has been tracking is very likely to go to the Bonfire Festival."
"But I don't know the specific situation yet. There is a suspect in hand who is currently being interviewed."
"I'm calling this time because I want to know more about it in detail. What's going on at the Bonfire Festival?"
"Harm? That's it? It must be related to the mission assigned by your Director Zhao, right? You've been under a lot of pressure recently, right?" Jiang Xiaomi was also not surprised.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gu Chen was curious and asked: "Xiaomi, how did you know?"
"Isn't this simple?" Jiang Xiaomi grinned and said quickly: "My cousin Wu Meixi, she has been under a lot of pressure at work recently. She said that your Zhao Bureau requires all departments to actively cooperate with your criminal investigation team. She feels that the case is quite big.
of."
"And I heard that something big happened in Wangxian Valley some time ago, but what was it specifically? I even asked my cousin, but she refused to disclose it, which made it impossible for me to write a press release."
After a pause, Jiang Xiaomi added: "So, I feel that this matter should be related to a certain case you are handling."
"As for the matter at Wangxian Valley, I heard that it was also handled by the search and rescue team sent by your Furong branch."
"So, I know right away that this matter must have something to do with you."
"Okay." It felt like Jiang Xiaomi's news acumen was still very high, so Gu Chen added, "I can't tell you about this yet, but I would like to know the details about the Bonfire Festival."
"This? It's easy to say. This time, not only our Jiangnan Daily, but also many provincial media and some Internet media will report it. Anyway, it will be lively."
"After all, there are now tourism and cultural festivals. Fuxing Village also wants to gain popularity and make this place a benchmark for folk activities in the future."
After thinking for a while, Jiang Xiaomi added: "By the way, I have already written the manuscript. I just need some live pictures and videos."
"After collecting this information, I will sort it out and publish it."
"You've already written the interview? But it hasn't started yet?" After hearing what Jiang Xiaomi said, Gu Chen suddenly felt, what is this guy doing?
Jiang Xiaomi on the phone smiled mysteriously: "This is all from our department's ex-wife, oh no, my editor-in-chief said that every event is similar, so let me sort out last year's interview transcripts.
, the editor’s editor.”
"After the on-site interview is over, apply it immediately and then make slight changes."
"This is a fast way to publish a press release. After all, you know how difficult it is to write a press release these days?"
"And we are not the only media who went to the event this time."
"If after the on-site interview, the article can be published with a little editing, it means that we can publish the article before other media. Whoever publishes the article first will have the advantage."
"In the past few years, we have also been educated by those Internet media. They often do this, which makes Master Jiejie, oh no, makes my editor-in-chief very depressed."
"Okay, that's understandable." Gu Chen also chuckled twice, and then asked again: "Oh, by the way, what is the process like?"
"It's probably like slaughtering pigs and sheep in the morning, and then preparing a long banquet in the afternoon. After the banquet, there will be a bonfire festival in the evening, and there will be many folk performances and so on."
"Of course, don't have too much hope. After all, not many people came to participate last year. Although they said they would increase publicity this year, how much specific intensity will it take? I don't know."
"Is the event only for one day?" Gu Chen asked.
"Of course. We'll start tomorrow. There may be a rehearsal or something today. If you want to go, I can take you to meet the village chief and we can stay together for a banquet or something."
After thinking about it, Jiang Xiaomi added, "Oh, by the way, will Lu Weiwei go? She is a big foodie."
"Yes, but we didn't go there just to eat..."
"Then they're all the same?" Before Gu Chen could finish speaking, Jiang Xiaomi immediately interrupted: "Well, if you need my help, just ask."
"Anyway, I can help you with food. The village chief knows me very well, so I guarantee you won't be hungry."
"Okay." Listening to Jiang Xiaomi's talk, Gu Chen knew clearly that Jiang Xiaomi's career as a reporter these years was not in vain.
At the very least, I have evolved from a newbie in the workplace to a veteran in the workplace.
It should be said that at the Bonfire Festival, with Jiang Xiaomi's help, many problems can indeed be solved.
Especially for Fuxing Village, Gu Chen needed to find out more about the specific situation of this village from her.
So after Gu Chen briefly communicated with Jiang Xiaomi, they both hung up the phone.
Not long after, Lu Weiwei also walked out of the office.
