Chapter 33 Folk Performances

Chapter 33

folk performance

In the middle of winter, it was not cold in the big tent. Many people gathered together, exuding a smelly heat. Most of the audience were idle men from the countryside. They sat on several rows of long wooden boards lined with bricks, smoking and spitting.

, watching it with gusto. When Hualong and others bought tickets, the performance was coming to an end and the finale was about to begin.

A clown stood on the stage breathing fire, and a girl danced and took off her clothes, spinning around and shaking her bra.

The host appeared and said something sensational on the stage, and the audience applauded loudly and booed.

Bao Zhan said: "Well, it's just in time for the tenth anniversary celebration of my grass-roots team."

Su Mei said: "I'm looking forward to it. I don't know what unique skills I will have next."

The little police officer said: "I don't really want to see dancing anymore."

Hualong said: "Haha, little brother, are you shy when you saw that naked girl just now?"

The little police officer was hesitant and speechless.

The host shouted at the top of his lungs: "We welcome two beauties, Da Bing and Xiao Wu, to perform the Eighteen Moves of Strange Women for everyone. This is not magic or acrobatics. This is a unique skill that will open your eyes. This is

This is the grand finale of this performance of going to the countryside to express condolences to the masses."

Two girls came out from behind the scenes, both wearing white sweaters, red woolen skirts, and over-the-knee boots. The boots had the unique stiffness and wrinkles of leather products. Both girls were wearing heavy makeup.

Makeup, dark circles under eyes, scarlet lips, and exaggeratedly large, round plastic colored earrings.

The two girls used the microphone to introduce themselves first. The girl named Xiao Wu was thin and small, and the girl named Da Bing was a bit fat. The white sweater on her body was very tight, making her belly look round. The sleeves and armpits of the sweater were wide.

, arms spread out, shaped like a bat.

When the music started playing, Da Bing and Xiao Wu danced passionately. They twisted their bodies crazily to the rhythm of the music, raised their legs and turned in circles. The audience saw that the inside of the skirt was "vacuum" and they were not wearing underwear.

After the warm-up, the real performance begins.

They first performed the lower body opening of beer and shooting balloons, and the subsequent performances were even more unsightly and shocking. For example, they connected razor blades with strings, put them into the lower body and then pulled them out; for example, they smoked from the lower body and blew out smoke rings...



Hualong said: "It's almost done, little brother, follow me."

Xiao Xie warned incoherently: "I... it's not good, so many people are watching... How about waiting for them..."

Hualong jumped onto the stage with the little police officer, scolded the two girls, and asked them to stop the pornographic performance. Then he took out his police ID and showed it to the audience. The audience ran out one after another. Bao Zhan and Su Mei were busy evacuating the audience.

, to prevent stampede accidents.

Hua Long and others explained their purpose of coming, saying that they were not here to fight against pornography.

The person in charge of the song and dance troupe was willing to cooperate with the police investigation. After learning, the deceased Zhang Jing had a conflict with members of the song and dance troupe the day before her disappearance. The two sides got into a fight, and Zhang Jing threatened to call the police. In the end, the song and dance troupe paid money and settled the matter. The next day

At around 5 o'clock in the morning, it was still dark. There was an energy-saving lamp hanging at the door of the song and dance troupe's tent. Da Bing and Xiao Wu used the light to see Zhang Jing standing alone under the bus sign. The two girls were frightened.

Jumping, I thought I saw a ghost. I looked carefully and recognized it.

It turned out to be the woman who had the quarrel during the day.

This was the last time witnesses saw the deceased. Zhang Jing was carrying a satchel and wearing a hat, and looked like she was going on a long trip.

His wife ran away from home in the middle of the night. Liu Wei was still sleeping at the time. He did not call the police after a few days of disappearance. These abnormal behaviors aroused the vigilance of the special case team. After repeated questioning, Liu Wei hesitated to speak. After hesitation, he told the special case team,

Zhang Jing may have gone to petition.

Five years ago, they had a son who died after being treated at the First People's Hospital of the provincial capital for tuberculosis. Zhang Jing believed that this was an abnormal death due to a medical accident. The hospital felt that it was not at fault, and both parties disagreed.

The dispute failed to be resolved through normal channels. Zhang Jing began to petition the provincial government. She held up banners, slept on the street, and blocked the door. The problem was still not solved. Zhang Jing went to Beijing to petition again and again, but returned without success each time. She was deported by the interceptors.

return.

Liu Wei said: "I advised my mother-in-law not to go. It's useless. My arms can't twist my thighs."

Hualong said: "Why don't you go to petition with your wife?"

Liu Wei said: "I have been there, and they detained me, so I don't dare to go again."

Su Mei said: "Why did Zhang Jing set out secretly at dawn to petition, without even telling you?"

Liu Wei said: "There are interceptors in the township, county, city and province. If you are discovered, you will not be able to go."

What are petitions and interceptions?

We might as well excerpt an excerpt from the "Legal Evening News" to explain: "Citizens' petitioning is a basic right granted to citizens by the Constitution. In this sense, intercepting visits restricts or even deprives citizens of their right to petition, and even restricts citizens' personal freedom.

, in fact, it is a naked unconstitutional illegal act. The most terrifying and egregious thing about interception is that it can illegally restrict the personal freedom of citizens without any legal procedures. In serious cases, it may even constitute the criminal crime of illegal detention. For a long time, illegal interception has been practiced in practice.

There is a large number of interviews, but it is extremely rare for people to be held criminally responsible."

Most of the petitioners are vulnerable groups who have been victims of conflicts of interest with local government officials.

Intercepting visits is an act of individual local governments. It is illegal and exists, and most of it is not handled properly.

The special case team felt that the situation was serious and the complexity of this case exceeded imagination.

Professor Liang deployed a new task. Hua Long and Su Mei went to the provincial hospital to investigate the dispute between Zhang Jing and the hospital. Bao Zhan and the police assistant pretended to be Liu Wei's family members and accompanied Liu Wei to Beijing to petition to learn about the deceased Zhang Jing's petition.

's whereabouts.

Liu Wei is timid and cowardly. He is worried that he will be caught or beaten when he petitions, so he is reluctant to cooperate.

Bao Zhan finally managed to get through Liu Wei's ideological work, but before leaving, Liu Wei hesitated again.

Liu Wei said: "My baby died, and my mother-in-law went to ask for an explanation, but she was killed again. Can I come back alive?"

Bao Zhan said: "Show me the courage to chop your own arm with an axe. Besides, there are two of us policemen accompanying you, so what are you afraid of?"

A few days later, Zhang Jing's funeral arrangements were completed. Bao Zhan and the junior police officer changed into civilian clothes and accompanied Liu Wei on the road.

In this place, petitioning and intercepting interviews is a battle of wits and courage, no less than a spy movie.

local interception

The officers set up several blockades, the first of which was at the train station. Once petitioners were discovered, they were forcibly sent away. The local government focused on monitoring individual petitioners, mastering their photos, mobile phone numbers and travel information, and sent them to Beijing before they entered Beijing.

its interception.

Bao Zhan, the junior police officer, and Liu Wei witnessed an interception incident in the waiting hall.

Several people who looked like pot-bellied cadres whispered, and then rushed to an old man waiting in line to check in. A cadre took out a photo to confirm his identity, put his arm around the old man's shoulders and asked a few questions with a smile. The old man first argued loudly that he was going out to visit relatives.

But after they dug out the petition materials from his bag, he became discouraged and was taken away without any resistance.

The little police officer said: "Why didn't the old man call the police?"

Liu Wei said: "What's the use? There might be police among those few people."

Bao Zhan said: "How do you usually deal with it after you bring it back?"

Liu Wei said: "Enter the 'study class'."

Bao Zhan said: "What is the study class?"

Liu Wei was still frightened by this word. He looked at a place in a daze, then held his head in his hands and said nothing.

The three Bao Zhans arrived in Beijing smoothly. As the most famous historical city, the center of politics and culture, behind the prosperity there are also unknown dilapidations. A village near a certain station gathered petitioners from all over the country, and various villages

The suffering people are neighbors with each other, forming a "petition village". Almost all the bungalows nearby are black hotels without business licenses. They are extremely simple and cost only a few yuan per night, which can be said to be the lowest price in the country. Even so, there are many

The few petitioners had no money for accommodation, so they built simple shacks under the walls and in the alleys using collected paper shells and plastic sheets.

Here, petitioners are forcibly taken away by interceptors almost every day.

Bao Zhan and the others took Zhang Jing's photo and asked around, and the information they got was exciting. A hotel owner confirmed that Zhang Jing had been here before, but her whereabouts were unknown.

The next day, Bao Zhan and the others went to the National Petition Reception Station, which was where Zhang Jing was bound to come.

During the 100-meter journey into the registration hall, Bao Zhan and the other three encountered several rounds of interrogations from interceptors. As soon as Liu Weigang opened his mouth, more than a dozen people who spoke the same dialect as him rushed over. One of them wore a

The badge of a certain local office in Beijing immediately twisted Liu Wei's arm. Others also controlled Bao Zhan and the small police officer and pushed them into a white Iveco.

Bao Zhan and three others were sitting in the back seat. There were several people in the car wearing "special service" uniforms, all wearing steel helmets and looking serious.

A man who looked like a special service captain held a metal detector in his hand and asked Bao Zhan and the others to hand over their mobile phones and ID cards.

The little police officer asked: "Who are you?"

The special service captain replied expressionlessly: "No comment."

Liu Wei said: "Where are you taking us?"

The captain still said: "No comment."

Bao Zhan couldn't bear it anymore and said: "You are violating human rights, let us go."

A special agent warned: "Just calm down, otherwise you will die."

Just as Bao Zhan was about to say something, the captain became furious and punched him in the mouth. Blood flowed from the corner of Bao Zhan's mouth and one of his front teeth fell out.
