For a while, Chen Chunsheng couldn't keep up with Zhang Yichi's thoughts. He didn't quite understand how it got involved in surveillance.
After experiencing the terrifying experience of being silently monitored by a murderer for half an hour at night, Zhang Yichi looked around and found no one, but he still shuddered: "Let's go, there shouldn't be any clues here."
"Oh..." Chen Chunsheng scratched his head.
Back on the path, Zhang Yichi recalled yesterday.
The reason why Liu Cuilan was discovered yesterday was because some village women happened to see her while they were going up the mountain to pick vegetables. Since many villagers go into the mountains every day, does that mean there may have been witnesses yesterday?
"Chunsheng, are there many villagers entering the mountains from here every day?"
"Ang, some are picking vegetables, and some are chopping firewood." Chen Chunsheng replied.
Zhang Yichi nodded, and had already planned to come here early tomorrow and wait here. The villagers should go into the mountains regularly. The people who went into the mountains from 8:30 to 12 o'clock tomorrow are very likely to have come yesterday.
Went in at this time.
These people may have witnessed something.
However, he did not reveal this plan. He planned to act alone tomorrow.
It was almost eight o'clock when we returned to the village. Fortunately, it was summer and the sky didn't get dark so fast. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous to walk on the mountain road at this time.
"Go to the village committee, Brother Zhang. After dinner, I will take you back to school to rest." Chen Chunsheng said.
"Yeah." Zhang Yichi had no objection to this, "By the way, Chunsheng, I know about abduction and trafficking. Are you going to tell your father?"
"...Do you know?" Chen Chunsheng was also very confused about this.
No matter what, he personally admitted to Zhang Yichi that Liu Cuilan was trafficked. If Zhang Yichi kept his word and was arrested for this crime, or the two Wang brothers were arrested, he would definitely be beaten.
Break a leg.
"Brother Zhang, you really won't pursue this matter, right?" Chen Chunsheng asked warily.
"No, don't worry." Zhang Yichi handed Chen Chunsheng a cigarette, "It won't do me any good to expose this matter. Your whole village is covering up, so you can't expose your whole village.
Have they all been arrested?”
"Oh..." Chen Chunsheng smoked a cigarette and seemed to be thinking about something.
Zhang Yichi glanced at Chen Chunsheng and said, "Chunsheng, I suggest you not to tell your father that I know about the abduction and trafficking."
"Why?"
"Although I really won't tell this matter, your father may not believe it. What if there are some conflicts? Even if your father believes it, if he doesn't keep his mouth shut, this matter will reach Wang Shimin and the others.
What do they think of you and your father?" Zhang Yichi looked like he was thinking about Chen Chunsheng.
Chen Chunsheng nodded, deeply convinced: "Brother Zhang, you are right. If Uncle Shimin and Uncle Shiren knew that I told you to buy your wife, my father would not be able to live well in the village!"
"Well, so it's best for both of us to know about this. I'll leave as soon as I catch the murderer. This matter of kidnapping has never happened."
The two of them walked towards the village committee, and Zhang Yichi breathed out a sigh of relief.
The current situation is very bad. The villagers are shielding each other. If he hadn't discovered the clues by chance, he might not have discovered that there was a trafficking background behind this case for a while.
Fortunately, the words came from Chen Chunsheng's mouth. If the village chief were to find out about the abduction and trafficking from Zhang Yichi, things would not be easy.
"We will not pursue abduction and trafficking," I told Chen Chunsheng, and Chen Chunsheng wrote a letter. I told the village chief, how could the village chief feel relieved so easily?
What's even worse is whether many villagers already know who the murderer is, but they still choose to cover it up. In this way, it will be much more difficult for Zhang Yichi to seek witnesses and search for other clues.
With thoughts in mind, I entered the village committee room with Chen Chunsheng. The room was filled with the aroma of food. Sitting at the dinner table were the village chief, Wang Shimin, Wang Shiren, and Zhang Nanyang.
"What have you been doing? Why did you come back?" the village chief asked as he stood up.
"Chunsheng and I went to the place where Liu Cuilan died to look for clues." Zhang Yichi explained.
"Oh, are there any clues?" the village chief asked.
"No." Zhang Yichi replied.
The village chief glanced at Chen Chunsheng and said, "What's the matter? Come and sit down and eat first. The rice is almost cold."
Zhang Yichi and Chen Chunsheng sat down.
"Um, Officer Zhang, we have already buried Cuilan. It's such a hot summer. It would be stinky and unlucky to leave it any longer..." the village chief said cautiously.
When the two brothers Wang Shimin and Wang Shiren heard this, they also put down their chopsticks and looked at Zhang Yichi.
They were all worried that Zhang Yichi would be angry because of this.
"Oh, just bury it. Didn't I tell you at noon that everything that needs to be checked has been checked? You can bury it if you want." Zhang Yichi said.
Several people breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became more relaxed.
"Eat, we two have been waiting for a long time." Zhang Yichi greeted everyone to start eating, and at the same time glanced at Wang Shimin and Wang Shiren calmly. One of them was wearing half-sleeves, and the other was eating with his sleeves rolled up.
There were no scratches on either of their arms.
No one spoke during this period, and the atmosphere became a bit depressing.
"Officer Zhang, I don't think this person is easy to catch, right? We don't have many clues." Halfway through, the village chief raised the topic and was concerned about the progress of the case.
Zhang Yichi finished the food in his mouth: "There are some clues, and I believe the criminal will be brought to justice soon. If you know anything, I hope you can tell me as soon as possible, which will be beneficial to the progress of the case."
"Ahem!" Chen Chunsheng choked while eating.
"Eat more slowly. Eat and sleep every day. You have something to ask for." The village chief rolled his eyes at Chen Chunsheng, then nodded to Zhang Yichi with a smile, "Okay, if we have anything here,
The clues will tell you as soon as possible. If you have any situation there, please tell me and I can also help."
"Of course." Zhang Yichi agreed.
Wang Shimin and Wang Shiren both ate in silence and did not ask Zhang Yichi about related matters.
The meal was finished quickly, and the village chief arranged for Chen Chunsheng to send Zhang Yichi back to rest.
Zhang Yichi and Chen Chunsheng left the village committee and walked to the school.
"Buy something to drink. I can't drink the water here very well." Zhang Yichi always felt that the water here had a strange smell and didn't taste clean, so he decided to stop by the small shop and buy something to drink.
"Okay." Chen Chunsheng opened the way with a flashlight.
The two came to the small shop. The shop was not closed yet, and the boss was carrying goods from the tricycle to the house.
"Uncle Chen." Chun Sheng greeted the boss, "Have you just received the goods again?"
"Oh." the boss replied.
"Has the car been repaired?" Zhang Yichi also asked.
"What?" The boss stopped what he was doing and glanced at Zhang Yichi.
