Chapter 23 The Meaning of Candles

The meaning of a candle is not just to burn yourself, but to light another candle.

It was already evening and the room was dark. He was reading a book in Braille.

Four members of the special case team knocked on the door and entered. Chen Guangcheng's little daughter hugged her mother in fear. The child thought they were here to beat her father.

Hualong said: We are the police, so don't have any resistance.

Su Mei said: Mr. Chen, we are different from those people outside.

Chen Guangcheng said: I know, they don't knock on the door, they usually kick in. They don't call me Mr. Chen either, they just call me blind.

The candle was about to burn out, so Chen Guangcheng lit another candle. The local village committee cut off the electricity to his home because he had not paid the electricity bill. The candlelight lit up, giving the dilapidated home a church atmosphere. He wore a

Wearing a pair of sunglasses and a humble appearance, he looks like an authentic farmer.

Professor Liang said: You know, some people are coming here one after another. They come here to be beaten with fearless courage. This is one direction. They come to be beaten, and then they are dispersed and driven away by the thugs.

Chen Guangcheng said: I know.

Professor Liang said: Do you know them? Do you know their names?

Chen Guangcheng said: They are called citizens.

That afternoon, no one knew what they were talking about or what they were talking about. A little black mouse overheard the conversation between the special case team and the blind man. This passage should not appear in any books or newspapers.

However, the author of this article is a stubborn and courageous person, so he still recounts it truthfully:

Chen Guangcheng: How many countries are there in the world?

Su Mei said: More than 200.

Chen Guangcheng: How many countries in the world are there where one party is in power and no opposition parties are allowed?

Chen Guangcheng: 8.

Chen Guangcheng asked again: How many countries in the world have democracy as their goal?

Chen Guangcheng asked and answered: 5.

Professor Liang said: These 5 are actually among the 8.

Chen Guangcheng said: In today's society, everyone is cynicistic and wise to protect themselves. You must be servile to survive, you must treat a deer like a horse to be promoted, and you must be cautious in your words and deeds to survive. Those who praise virtues and tell lies, those who have eyes but cannot see the common people

Those who have no worldly value, those who turn on the TV at seven o'clock every night to undergo brainwashing and then turn off their brains at seven-thirty...are the real blind people.

Hualong said: I finally know why they locked you up.

Chen Guangcheng said: Ah Q was sentenced because he was guilty. Why was he guilty? Because he was sentenced.

Bao Zhan said: How can we solve these problems?

Chen Guangcheng said two words...

The special case team learned about the situation in the village from the blind man. Most of the villagers went out to work, digging coal in the surrounding remote mountainous areas. Many of the remaining young adults in the village were hired by the local government as thugs. Those who guarded Chen Guangcheng every month

Everyone is paid. In this weird village, farmers no longer farm, and the monthly salary for guarding a seriously ill blind man is 1,600 yuan. If you catch a visitor from out of town, you can receive a reward of 500 yuan. Chen Guangcheng told the special case team

He said that the village and the township did not care about the eight lives. As long as those who died were not their relatives and family members, they would not meddle in their own business. As expected, the village party secretary counted the missing people in Dongshigu Village with extremely fast work efficiency.

, when it was dinner time, the village party secretary claimed to the special case team that no one was missing in the village. They held a dinner and just wanted to send the special case team away as soon as possible.

The special case team was angry at their haste, but there was nothing they could do.

Township head Gao Ride said: We ordered food and drinks before leaving after dinner.

The village party secretary laughed shamelessly and said: It’s public funds anyway.

Professor Liang asked everyone to collect some money and gave it to the village party secretary. He said: This is food money. You can also pay the rent. Please help the village committee clear out two rooms. Our special case team plans to live in this village.

I will never leave without investigating clearly.

Hua Long quietly gave a thumbs up to Bao Zhan and Su Mei, and said: I just like this old man's stubbornness.

The township head Gao Ride and the village party secretary did not feel embarrassed, but found it incredible that since they became grassroots cadres, this was the first time they encountered people who refused public funds to eat and drink and preferred to pay out of their own pockets.

After dinner, the four members of the special case team checked into the duty room of the village committee.

Professor Liang called and inquired. The local police, provincial department, and Panda's investigations in the other three villages made no progress. The forensic team's further inspection report made new discoveries. There were minerals in the clothing fibers of the eight deceased people.

The substance powder was tested and found to be a carbon element. Eight corpses were buried in the wilderness, and there was no coal in the excavated soil. This shows that the deceased may have been engaged in coal excavation, transportation, sales, and loading and unloading.

The special case team discussed the case and everyone’s common views on the case are as follows:

1. There was more than one murderer and eight corpses, and the time span of the murders was long. It is unlikely that one person could complete the entire criminal process of killing, transporting, burying, and moving the corpses.

2. The identity of the murderer is a farmer or someone with long-term experience in rural life. This can be analyzed from the way the corpses are stacked.

3. The murderer was very familiar with the geographical environment where the body was buried, and he should also be familiar with the surrounding villages.

4. Coal dust was found on the clothes of the eight deceased people. Most of the villagers in Dongshigu Village went out to work and were engaged in manual labor digging coal. The special case team became more determined in the direction of the investigation: the murderer is most likely in this village!

Because the eight deceased people were buried in the wasteland, and the bodies were all mutilated and their faces were difficult to identify, Professor Liang planned to ask the villagers to identify the clothes of the deceased the next day, hoping to confirm the identity of the deceased.

That night, Su Mei encountered something that made her hair stand on end.

There is a public toilet outside the wall of the village committee. It is extremely dirty. The pit is made of stones. It is difficult to distinguish the men's and women's toilets. The male and female signs were originally written with plaster on the toilet wall, but the naughty children used bricks instead.

The words written on the slag are deliberately confusing.

In the middle of the night, Su Mei had diarrhea. Although she was afraid of going to the toilet outdoors, she was too embarrassed to wake Hua Long and Bao Zhan, so she had to bravely go to the toilet alone.

The signs on the wall were confusing, and it was impossible to tell the difference between the men's and women's restrooms at night. Su Mei shouted softly, is there anyone in there?

No one answered in the dark toilet. Su Mei couldn't hold it in any longer. She didn't care about so many things, so she found a random toilet and walked in.

Su Mei was wearing tight-fitting pencil pants, and her legs looked even more sexy and slender. She took off her pants, squatted down, and frowned slightly. After a sound of water splashing, Su Mei felt relieved, but at the same time she felt shy. The sound was too loud at night.

Su Mei moved a little, her high heels stepped on the stones of the pit, and she would slip down if she wasn't careful.

There were many cigarette butts on the ground, as well as cigarette pack paper that had been wiped on the buttocks.

Su Mei muttered in her heart: Damn, I entered the wrong toilet.

There are several gaps in the toilet partition wall. The mud between the bricks is easy to poke open. Some bricks are loose and can even be pulled out. Most rural toilet walls have holes, which is attributed to the villagers' entertainment mentality. Voyeur

Want to be blatantly released here. If you are in the men's restroom and look into the women's restroom through the small hole in the wall, you are likely to see an eye peering into the men's restroom. What's even more amazing is that the people peeping at each other are probably in the countryside.

Two neighbors who had just said hello on the road.

Su Mei felt that this toilet was a bit weird, and she was worried about being peeped, so she did not dare to go close to the crack in the wall to see if there was anyone in the toilet next to her. In the darkness, she felt something touch her butt. Su Mei was so frightened that she lost her mind.

There is often a scene like this in horror movies. When a woman is taking a convenience, a hand suddenly reaches out from the toilet. She lowers her head and looks, and then she no longer feels scared. There is a branch at her feet, and she may have touched the branch accidentally.

When Su Mei was about to stand up, there was a burst of sinister laughter from the other side of the wall, and a hand suddenly stretched out from the other side of the wall. That hand grabbed a branch and thrust it into her head.

Su Mei screamed in fright and immediately ran out of the toilet and back to the village committee.

Hua Long and Bao Zhan were awakened. Su Mei was still frightened, so she told Hua Long and Bao Zhan what had just happened.

Su Mei said: Brother Hualong, my butt was seen, there are gangsters in this village.

Hualong said: Damn it, this is not bad, where are the people?

Su Mei said: He might have escaped in the dark now, and I didn’t dare to look back.

Bao Zhan said: You said that person stuck a branch on your head?

Su Mei said: Yes, I also heard that man laughing. It was so scary that it scared me to death.

Bao Zhan remembered that the corpse found in the cave on the river embankment had a reed stuck in its head. The person peeping into the toilet also made a gesture of inserting a branch into his head. Could this person be the murderer?

There was no one in the toilet. A brick on the wall was pulled out by someone. It was the person who stretched out his hand from the hole in the wall and scared Su Mei. There is an intersection with the word "人" next to the toilet. The person must not be far away.

Hua Long and Bao Zhan decided to chase each other separately.

Su Mei stood at the intersection, still in shock. There was a small forest near the intersection, and there were several piles of corn stalks and cotton stalks in the woods.

In the night, Su Mei vaguely saw a strange scene. Something was walking upright in the woods. Judging from the silhouette, it looked like a skeleton or a mummy. The mummy was walking in a very weird posture, and its upper body was not covered with hair.

Move, lower your hands, and walk forward little by little.

Su Mei shouted, Hualong was nearby, and when they heard the sound, they walked into the woods to check.

There was no one in the woods, it was quiet and the moonlight was like water.

Hua Long questioned: Are you dazzled and scared to death?

Su Mei explained: I clearly saw something in the woods.

Hua Long said: Damn it.

Su Mei was a little scared and held Hua Long's hand tightly. She said: That thing is definitely not a person, nor does it look like an animal.

Hua Long took Su Mei's hand and continued walking deeper into the woods. They walked around several firewood stacks and found nothing unusual. After checking the last firewood stack, they looked around and saw no one in the woods.

.

Su Mei asked: Could it be hidden in the corn stalks?

Hualong kicked the piled corn stalks and threatened: Come out.

Su Mei became nervous and held Hua Long's arm with both hands. There was no one in the cornstalk pile.

Hua Long and Su Mei felt very strange. At this time, a gloomy sneer came from above their heads.
