After Director Xu left, Su Le glanced at Xu Zhiguo, who was sitting there silently, and said to the old village chief with a smile on his face:
"Old village chief, will you live a long life this year?"
"I am seventy years old this year." When the old village chief heard someone asking his age, he showed a smile on his face and gestured with his hands.
"How are you?"
"No, my blood pressure is a bit high. I have to take medicine every day. As I get older, my body will become ill." The old village chief waved his hand and said.
Su Le was just thinking about how to continue the topic when the old village chief asked first:
"Didn't you come to see Li Yun yesterday?"
"Yes, old village chief, but we are here for another thing today."
"Oh, is there anything else?"
"We want to know about the five lonely old people in the village." Su Le said and handed his list to the old village chief.
The old village chief took the list, his mouth twitched a little, he looked at it far away from his eyes and said:
"No, my eyesight is too old. I can't see. Tell me who to look for?"
"The people we are looking for are Xu Laosan, Xu Fugui, Xu Ergui, Xu Xiaohua and Xu Dani." Su Le slowly read out the names of the five people one by one.
When the old village chief listened to Su Le read these five names, his expression changed obviously. Su Le observed that the old village chief's hand resting on the armrest of the sofa was shaking a little.
The two hands were crossed and hugged together. The old village chief's face began to turn pale, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
After Su Le said the names of the five people, the old village chief stood still for a moment and asked in a slightly trembling voice:
"What are you looking for them for?"
"Oh, old village chief, we are just completing the tasks assigned above. We don't know exactly what we are going to do. Anyway, it is just some statistical work." Su Le did not clarify their true intentions, but said as much as possible.
An understatement.
"Oh, that's right." After listening to Su Le's words, the old village chief's tense expression relaxed slightly, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand.
"Old village chief, do you know where these people have gone?"
"I remember going to the nursing home." The old village chief said in a low voice, obviously lacking confidence.
"When did they go? Which nursing home did they go to? The superiors asked them where they were going." Su Le continued to ask.
The old village chief lowered his head and thought for a moment, then wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand, and then said slowly:
"I remember it was during the demolition of the old village because everyone had to move out and no one took care of them. Some people in the village said that they should just send them to a nursing home. The living conditions in the nursing home would be better. We discussed it in the village and agreed.
Got this suggestion.”
"Which nursing home were you sent to?"
"It seems that it was sent to a nursing home in Changtian County. It was not run by me. I can't remember the specific name." The old village chief said, looking at the roof on the upper right.
"Then who sent them there?"
The old village chief thought for a long time, pressed his fingers on his temples and said:
"It's been too long, I don't remember."
"Old village chief, who else knows about sending them to a nursing home?"
"Everyone in the village knows, right? This is a major event in the village and everyone knows it." The old village chief seemed to be in a trance when he answered.
"Then who specifically organized it?" Su Le asked again.
At this time, the old village chief's hands began to shake violently, and his body began to shake unconsciously while sitting on the sofa. Su Le saw it and asked quickly:
"Old village chief, are you feeling unwell?"
Seeing that the old village chief was a little uncomfortable, his wife who was cooking in the kitchen hurriedly came over and asked if he wanted to take some blood pressure lowering medicine. The old village chief nodded, took out the medicine box from his pocket, took a piece of medicine and put it on
In his mouth, he took the warm water handed over by his wife and drank the medicine. Then he said to Su Le:
"It's okay. I may be a little tired. I just need to rest for a while."
Seeing that the old village chief was in poor health, Su Le and the others said goodbye and went out. When they left, they told the old village chief's wife that if the old village chief continued to feel unwell, he should call the hospital quickly.
On the way back to the police station, Zhang Pengfei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said:
"I feel like this old village chief is not normal. He seemed to be in good health at first, but when we mentioned the matter of the five old people, his condition was obviously not right."
"Yes, I also think there is something wrong with this old man." Liu Guan agreed while driving his car.
"Judging from his behavior and body language, he is afraid of something," Su Le said.
"Yes, I saw his body trembling." Liu Guan said.
"Then what should we do next? I think this old village chief knows a lot of things, but he refuses to tell us." Zhang Pengfei said.
"He was the village chief at the time, but he said that it was not his responsibility to send the five elderly people to a nursing home." Su Le said.
"Yes, this is very contradictory. I think it's not that he doesn't know, but he deliberately conceals it." Zhang Pengfei said.
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't tell me. I think he is not the only one who knows about such a big thing as sending five people to a nursing home," Su Le said.
"But no one else in the village knows the specific address of the nursing home." Zhang Pengfei said.
"Did we not find the right person?" Su Le said thoughtfully.
"Then let's go find other people to find out the situation?" Zhang Pengfei asked.
"Let's go back and check the nursing homes in Changtian County first. The information about Changtian County mentioned by the old village chief should be correct. Let's see what information we can get from the nursing homes first," Su Le replied.
"I just don't know how many nursing homes there are in Changtian County," Liu Guan said while driving.
Early the next morning, when Liu Guan picked up Su Le and Zhang Pengfei and was heading to the city bureau, Zhang Pengfei suddenly received a call from Captain Hu. Captain Hu's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Officer Zhang, where are you now?"
"Captain Hu, we are on our way to the city bureau." Zhang Pengfei replied.
"Okay, give the phone to Xiao Liu." Captain Hu said.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Pengfei quickly gave the phone to Xiao Liu who was driving.
"Xiao Liu, please quickly bring Officer Zhang and Officer Su in through the emergency passage of the city bureau and directly to the conference room on the second floor. The door is blocked."
"Received." Liu Guan hung up the phone with a puzzled look on his face and said to Su Le and the others:
"Captain Hu told us to go in through the emergency exit and go directly to the conference room on the second floor. The door was blocked."
"What? Who is so bold as to dare to bet on the door of the city police station?" Su Le and Zhang Pengfei exchanged glances with incredulous expressions.
"Well, most of us in Gui'an are in mountainous areas, and the folk customs are relatively tough. The villagers are prone to getting angry easily. Blocking the government gates happens from time to time, but I have never heard of people blocking the police station gates." Liu Guan
Explain to Su Le and the others.
"I hear Captain Hu saying, does this matter have something to do with us?" Su Le asked doubtfully.
"Captain Hu didn't say anything, he just told us to go to the conference room on the second floor quickly."
"Okay then, drive faster and we'll get there quickly." Zhang Pengfei urged.
Gui'an City Police Department. Su Le and the three of them had just walked to the door of the conference room when they heard the noisy noise inside. A woman cried loudly:
"Hand over those three policemen! Ask them how they killed my father."
"I was in good health, but I won't be able to do it if the police come to my house. This matter must be made clear." A man's rough voice sounded.
"Don't be anxious. Sit down and drink some water first. They will be here soon. Let them explain clearly what happened." This was the voice of the criminal police captain Hu Jianzhong.
"Oh, I don't live anymore. My miserable father, you died so unjustly!" The woman continued to cry loudly.
"My father is only 70 years old this year. He carried a gun for the country and worked hard for the village all his life. He didn't even enjoy a few years of peace and happiness after retirement. He died so mysteriously. We can't accept this result!" The man also said.
Shouting loudly.
"The three policemen from yesterday are already on the way. Don't make trouble just yet. They will be here soon." Hu Jianzhong continued to comfort the two people.
When Su Le and the others heard this, they immediately opened the door and entered the conference room. Hu Jianzhong saw them coming in and walked over quickly and said:
"Oh, you are finally here, let's talk about yesterday's situation."
When the woman heard Hu Jianzhong's words, she immediately stood up from her chair, rushed towards Su Le and the others, and shouted:
"You killed my father, I will fight with you!"
Hu Jianzhong stretched out his thick arm to block the woman behind him, and shouted angrily:
"Why are you so crazy? This is the police station."
At this time, the tall, dark-skinned man also rushed over, indiscriminately, reaching out to grab Su Le's collar. Seeing this, Su Le was not afraid. Not only did he not retreat, but he stepped forward and grabbed it with his left hand.
The man's wrist and right hand grasped the man's upper arm, and he controlled the man with a strong hand.
"Brother, don't worry, let's sit down and talk if we have anything to say." Su Le controlled the man and pressed him on the chair behind him with a smile on his face.
The man was being controlled by Su Le. His arm was so painful that he could not speak a word and could only fall down on the chair.
At this time, a majestic voice sounded in the room. Sitting there silently, Yu Jun, the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation in Gui'an City, said:
"Xu Wenliang, Xu Wenjuan, you two sit down and talk honestly. If you continue to make jokes, be careful I will detain you for obstructing official duties. We will let the three comrades yesterday explain the matter clearly. If they are in the process of law enforcement,
If there are violations of laws and disciplines, we will severely punish them."
"Okay, okay, don't get excited, everyone, sit down and talk if you have anything to say. These two are Xu Wenliang, the son and daughter of Xu Zhiguo, the old village chief of Xujia Village." Hu Jianzhong waved to Su Le and the others to sit down.
The identities of a man and a woman were introduced to them.
"What is going on? You two should talk about it first, one person at a time." After Su Le and others sat down, Hu Jianzhong pointed at the two people named Xu Wenliang and Xu Wenjuan and said.
A man and a woman looked at each other, Xu Wenliang raised his chin towards the woman and said:
"Second sister, please tell me."
Xu Wenjuan picked up the tissue on the table and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She took a sip of the water handed over by Hu Jianzhong, stabilized her mood, and spoke about yesterday's situation with sobs.
