"Wait a minute, why do you take us back?" mung bean-eyed Yuanfeng said.
"Humph, just because the three of you are here to confuse the public, fool the villagers, and defraud money, I can take you back! Stop talking and leave!" Liao Mu roared fiercely.
When Mung Douyan heard this, he became anxious and wanted to get angry, but Yuan Ding stopped him.
"Officer, as the saying goes, if you want to incriminate, why bother with nothing? We haven't done anything shameful, so what's the harm in coming with you? We don't steal or rob, so what do we have to worry about? I'm afraid, two people died at once, which is also directly related to your plan to catch snakes tonight. If you had commanded properly, how could such a tragedy have happened? So, you are the one who has trouble dealing with us!" Just joking, strode along. The six armed police officers headed towards the village.
When Liao Mu heard this, his brows furrowed even more tightly!
At this time, the sky was already getting slightly brighter. The Fenghua Village Committee was crowded with people again. These were basically the people who had returned from the horror scene by the deep pool last night. Among them were those who had been working in Shentan. There were more than a dozen villagers watching by the pool, including Alan and Liu Mei. They kept talking about the thrilling scene last night.
The third brother Yuanding was detained in the finance room, waiting for Liao Mu's questioning.
Professors Pan and Chen, Village Chief Wang, Du Tiantie, Principal Lang, and Liao Mu stayed in the village committee office, standing and sitting.
"Tsk? I didn't expect that this matter would turn out like this. I think this matter should be dealt with quickly. It's okay to say that Lao Mai's death was an accident after all. How could Codam say that he was a foreign guest and an expert? How could he say it was gone? It’s gone? What can we do?” Liao Mu said angrily.
"Director Liao, what do you plan to do?" Lang Mo asked.
"How else can we deal with it? Report the situation to the superiors truthfully and wait for people to come down to investigate. At present, I think this is the only way to do it. After all, a foreign master who knew how to catch boa constrictors died here." Speaking of this, think about Damn. Liao Mu shook his head and smiled bitterly at how pitiful he looked when he was swallowed by a snake.
"But, Director, Damu was swallowed by a big snake and taken away. No one can be seen alive or dead. He has evaporated like water vapor. If you say that the person was swallowed by a snake, someone must believe it." So? How to explain this?" Du Tiantie was also worried.
"Didn't many people see this with their own eyes? Isn't this proof?" Lang Mo asked back.
"But he is a foreigner. If you say that a snake got into his stomach, and he didn't see it, you have to provide evidence to make people believe it." Du Tiantie objected.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Village Chief Wang spread his hands and sighed helplessly.
At this time, Professor Pan, who had been talking quietly to Professor Chen, saw everyone arguing about the snake catching master. He quickly stood up and came to everyone and said: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, Dam's death is nothing." It’s not a big deal. You don’t have to worry.”
"Don't worry? I'm almost climbing up the rafters in a hurry. Don't you need to worry?" This time, it was Liao Mu's turn to scream.
"Look, what is this?" Professor Pan took out a note from his coat pocket.
Liao Mu took it doubtfully. The note was not big, about the size of a primary school student's homework book, and it was full of words. He lowered his head and read it carefully, and his frown suddenly relaxed a lot. He smiled and said: "Professor Pan, you really are yours. When did you let this unlucky snake catching master write down such a piece of proof? This is absolutely amazing! By the way, I understand the first half of the page on this paper. , what it means is that if this Dam is swallowed by a snake, it is purely a risk he takes. If anything happens, he will be responsible for all the consequences, but what is written on the lower half of the page? "
Professor Pan still said kindly: "It's not that I'm crazy, but he insisted on coming to catch snakes. That's what I thought of. So, before leaving, I asked him to write such a self-written statement. Certificate. What I'm afraid of is that if something bad happens, it involves diplomacy, so we have to be cautious. Alas, now it seems that this piece of paper is really Master Dam's last suicide note. How unfortunate! As for what you said The second half of the paper has the same meaning, but he copied it again in Malay. This is more proof that the material was written in his own hand, and this paper was obtained from him. People will also believe in the country. How about if I explain it this way, do you feel more at ease?"
Liao Mu was stunned for a while, then laughed and said, "You old fox! You are so cunning!"
His words made everyone in the room laugh uncontrollably.
"So, Director Liao, you don't have to worry about Dam's matter. Since there are so many witnesses and conclusive physical evidence in front of you, what are you worried about? Don't worry, it's all on me and I won't cause any trouble to you. What trouble? What you have to do now is that as long as you properly handle the problem of Village Chief Lao Mai and reduce the big issues to trivial matters, the matter can be settled satisfactorily, right? Ah, I'm sorry, I I went too far. Sorry, sorry, I think Director Liao must have thought about how to deal with the matter of Village Chief Mai. I am talking too much. Hahaha..." Professor Pan said with a smile.
The Snake Catching Master's matter has basically been settled, so the next step is Lao Mai's death, how to solve it. Although Professor Pan ignored Dam's side for the time being, Liao Mu was in a good mood, but after all, a life was lost. , he still had a sullen face, thinking about how to report to his superiors. After all, this person was dying under his nose.
"Director Liao, Professor Chen and I were watching the whole thing at the mountain pass last night. It can be said that you don't have a big responsibility. If you want to blame it, you have to blame the three Taoist priests. If they hadn't done this randomly If we were angry, things wouldn't be as bad as they are today. Don't you think so?" Professor Pan said again when he saw Liao Mu frowning.
"Yes, if it weren't for these three bastards, how could Dam and Lao Mai die?" Liao Mu shouted angrily. "So, I will take them back properly, check their origins, and then... ." Speaking of this, he couldn't go on.
"Then, what about it? It's not easy to deal with, right?" Professor Pan asked.
"Yes, Director Liao, these Taoist priests have business licenses in our country, and Taoist temples are everywhere. They have not broken any laws. If they are defrauding money, it is Lao Mai who is willing to lose money and invite people back. Although Lao Mai was swallowed by a snake, it was not the three of them who swallowed the person. This was purely an accident. If we want to punish a few of them, they will be punished for violating the public security management treaty at most, and at worst they will be detained. A few days, and then everything will be fine. So, this is really difficult to handle." Lang Mo interjected.
"What Principal Wolf said makes sense. You really have no way to convict those three Taoist priests at the moment. The most they can do is engage in superstitious activities and pollute the air, but this cannot constitute a crime, let alone violate the criminal law." Du Tian Ironing in the pan supports this wolf principal.
"Maybe Director Liao has his own ideas, maybe he thinks those three Taoist priests are really guilty. I think you should let Director Liao think about it carefully and don't interrupt other people's thinking." Professor Chen objected.
"Yes, I think Director Liao must have come up with a good idea when he brought the three of them back. Let's not say more, right? But Lao Pan is very curious and wants to ask, Director Liao, are you going to bring the three of them back?" How do they convict?" Professor Pan said with a smile.
"I, I haven't thought of anything yet?" Liao Mu admitted honestly. "I just wanted to bring them back to talk about it. As for how to interrogate and convict, I didn't think about it at all, and it was difficult to think of it. However, I never thought about it. Professor Pan, in your cunning smile, it seems that you have some ideas, don’t be stingy, can you tell me?"
"Hahaha, Director Liao, you have some interesting ideas. The so-called authorities are obsessed with it, but bystanders know clearly. In fact, I don't have any ideas. What I know is that the person who untie the bell also needs the person who tied the bell. Didn't they say that last night was not the case? Did the snake fairy come out to swallow people? You want to ask people if this is what happened. After all, many people heard it yesterday afternoon. If the snake fairy really swallowed people, what should you consider? That is not something that a mortal can handle. Come on. You have to rely on a more powerful god to subdue it, right? Second, if you just take them back to the institute for questioning, I'm afraid not only will you not get any good results, but you will also confuse those who believe in snakes. It’s such a thankless thing to offend the villagers in Xian. I believe Director Liao is smart enough not to do it like this?”
"Old fox, you are really an old fox." Liao Mu said the same thing again. His words made everyone laugh again.
"Village Chief Wang, I have to trouble you to speak to Lao Mai's family. As for the Taoist priests in the next room, let's go see them now and see what they say about Lao Mai's death. "
Opening the door of the office, more people gathered outside the house. It seemed that these villagers had already learned the news, and everyone came over early in the morning to watch the fun.
"Captain Du, please go and take the three Taoist priests from the finance room to the conference room." Liao Mu ordered.
Seeing Yuan Ding and the others being brought into the conference room, outside the door, the villagers who were watching the excitement also swarmed in. They surrounded Liao Mu and Yuan Ding and the others. They were curious and wanted to see who the policeman was. How to interrogate a prisoner.
"Yuan Ding, do you know your guilt?" Liao asked with a straight face.
"What crime are we guilty of?" Yuan Ding raised his head and answered.
"You were the one who killed Village Chief Lao Mai, and you still claim that you are not guilty! You are here to spread rumors and cause trouble, saying that the snake fairy will not swallow those people who respect it, but why, the snake fairy in your mouth will swallow it? Lao Mai?"
"I'm sorry, after our communication with the Snake Fairy last night, the Snake Fairy said that Lao Mai did not kneel down to him sincerely. His main purpose was to establish a good image of himself so that he could recommend his son to be a village leader. Chief, he wants to drive out the current village chief. That’s why the old village chief was swallowed by the snake fairy! Besides, the other person who was swallowed last night insulted the snake fairy in every possible way, and that’s why he behaved like that You have seen the outcome with your own eyes, so there is nothing wrong with what we said yesterday. Anyone who offends the Snake Immortal will never end well!"
Yuanding's words aroused low murmurs from the villagers.
"You are sophistry! Most magicians can call round things flat and black things white. This is absolutely shameless sophistry!" Liao Mu said angrily.
"Hmph, Sir Officer, we are not magicians, we are Taoist priests who admire the Supreme Lord! Please don't rub our faces in the face! If you say we are sophistry, then please come up with evidence, Officer! If There is evidence, and the three of us are willing to plead guilty. If you don’t have evidence, please don’t jump to conclusions!”
Liao Mu seemed to have nothing to say.
At this time, several villagers who were watching the excitement began to say: "Director Liao, this Taoist is right. It was indeed the snake fairy who swallowed the old wheat. Who told him to have evil intentions? He is so old. He still thinks of these crooked ideas. He deserves it."
"Yes, yes, yes... This Lao Mai is really damned, damn..." There was another discussion, and no one sympathized with Lao Mai. It seemed that Lao Mai was not very popular in the village.
After everyone's discussion stopped, Liao Mu rubbed his red nose for a while. He seemed a little undecided.
"Director Liao, I think this is the case. Since this was an accident, I think the three people in front of me have some responsibility, but their responsibility is very small. You see... this should..." Du Tiantie asked from the side road.
Director Liao did not speak, but looked at the dozens of villagers who were watching.
"Let these three Taoists go. We think that Lao Mai and the other person who was eaten by the snake fairy are all worthy of death. The three Taoists are not responsible. Let them go!" Some villagers began to say. Tao. The sound of this sound is made, let alone the words called Liao Mu Fangren.
Finally, Liao Mu helplessly rubbed his nose again and said: "You three, listen up, what the fellow villagers said makes sense, I won't make it difficult for you now. In this way, please report your detailed contact information and address, and we will investigate the matter." After tomorrow, we will draw conclusions. Yuanding, start with you..."
"I'm sorry, police officer, we are monks and we travel far and wide. We don't have any fixed address, and we don't have any contact information. But we promise you that we will not leave Fenghua Village until the matter is found out. We will be there in the big city." Yamaguchi Xiuguan preached, firstly, to save the souls of the old village chief and another person who was swallowed by the snake fairy, and to plead with the snake fairy not to send their souls to the eighteenth level of hell. Secondly, he hoped to bring some peace to Fenghua Village. Tianfu, I pray that the weather here will be smooth and that the villagers will be safe. I, Yuan Ding, will do what I say, and the three of us will never leave casually!" Yuan Ding said loudly.
Yuanding's words attracted more voices calling for his release.
"Okay, you can leave! But remember what you said! You must not leave Fenghua Village until the matter is clear. Otherwise, you will be charged with absconding in fear of crime!" Liao Mu also said what he said.
"That's natural! Monks don't lie! Say goodbye." After Yuan Ding finished speaking, he took his two junior brothers, pushed aside the crowd, and walked away.
"Brother, is that guy going to let us go like this?" As soon as he walked out of the door, Mung Douyan asked, "You idiot! Didn't you realize that the guy was shirking responsibility? Use your brain!" Yuan Ding cursed in a low voice. .
"But we don't have any responsibility?" Mung Beanyan still asked like an idiot.
"Hey, Junior Brother, Junior Brother, please teach Third Junior Brother and let me tell you!"
"Second Senior Brother, this is already very clear..." Under the big-faced Taoist priest's narration, the three of them gradually walked away.
The departure of Yuan Ding and the other two people signified the end of the interrogation. The villagers also murmured in low voices and slowly dispersed. Professor Pan, Professor Chen, Du Tiantie and six armed policemen were talking to Liao Mu and others. After speaking, he also said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, Professor Chen took Lang Mo's hand and said, "Principal Wolf, if that big python appears again, please notify me as soon as possible. Just now, Captain Du said that last night, he was absolutely sure that he One shot hit the big python in the head. He had never seen a python with such a powerful sniper rifle unable to break the head of a python. It was shot several times, but it seemed to be fine. Moreover, it was in its mouth. With a person in its mouth, it can run away despite being swept away by a submachine gun. So, to be honest, I am very, very yearning for that living fossil, which is rare in thousands of years! Originally I want to stay and stay here without leaving to see if I can find it. Unfortunately, I am busy with work during this period and have no choice but to stay. But I really want to study what is so special about the ancient python, so , please be sure to tell me any information about it on time."
"Okay. No problem, it's all a trivial matter. By the way, Professor Chen, why don't you stay a few more days? Maybe the python will come out again. And you don't have to wait."
"It's impossible. Professor Pan said that if this python is frightened and harassed like this, it will not reappear easily. Moreover, its injuries are definitely not light. Therefore, it has not been there for a year and a half. Won’t show up”
