Cui Qishan sat in front of a fire, warming himself up with a smile, flipping the ribs on the fire, sprinkling some salt, drinking beer, and enjoying himself.
If you stay in one place for a long time, you will slowly adapt. Zhanggang Village is indeed a poor place, and the local temperature is even 10 degrees lower than the capital city. But after accepting its poor settings, you can still find good things.
Something.
For example, the local pork is very delicious. Of course, there is no beef and mutton locally, and there is no seafood to buy. The pork has to be specially killed by a butcher, but in any case, the villagers raise their own New Year pigs without waiting for the Chinese New Year.
It's also very delicious when eaten.
Parts like ribs are casually marinated with ordinary seasonings, sealed over high heat, and then grilled slowly by the fire until they are fully cooked, or even a little overcooked, and they still taste sizzling and oily.
It tastes better than what is served in many big hotels in Beijing.
Hotels in the capital don't have such conditions. They have to maintain stable quality, which means that even if there is something particularly good occasionally, they can't use it.
In addition, the river fresh food in Zhanggang Village is also worth mentioning.
The crucian carp soup is good. The frogs caught at night are eaten the next day. As long as you don't watch the process, they are so beautiful. Eels and loaches are foods from another dimension. Cui Qishan doesn't like to eat them. He didn't eat them much when he was a child.
When I grow up, I don't want to eat these. But Li Jiang in the team is willing to eat them, and he can cook them himself. He gathers a few people to cook in a small pot, and the food is delicious.
Just spend all your business trip allowance.
But Cui Qishan thinks it's good. It's still difficult to maintain the morale of the team in such a difficult place. It's more important than anything else for everyone to find something interesting.
Why don't you want to go on such a business trip? It's because after eight hours of working time, free time is more difficult than working time. Now at least you can eat delicious local pork from farmers and drink local Xueyong beer, which is pretty good
.
Buzz…
As soon as the phone vibrated, Cui Qishan quickly got up to answer it and went to the toilet to fill some water.
"Reinforcements have been sent to you. They should be arriving at Zhanggang Village soon. You are responsible for receiving them. You will cooperate with each other, complete tasks first, protect your own safety, and report any situation at any time..." Tao Lu said in a few words.
When it was over, the phone beeped and hung up.
Cui Qishan couldn't help but feel a little sad. Such an advanced smart phone, as the most advanced electronic equipment in the village, hung up after just two words of conversation. It didn't even take enough time to urinate. It was a waste. No one usually called.
, the phone at home is not suitable for making calls every day. The team members are all around you. If you say you are homesick, the team members will burst into tears with a "wow". What will you do then, holding a 190-pound big boy and coaxing you?
?
Hua Hua...
"It's raining!" Xiao Si shouted, and heavy raindrops fell on Cui Qishan's face.
"It's raining... I'm sorry, ribs!" Cui Qishan put away his phone and ran into the yard.
The rain fell fast and urgently, as if it was suppressed by a young Dragon King. When Cui Qishan arrived in the yard, he saw that the cheerful and lively bonfire had been extinguished by the heavy rain. Xiao Si and others were standing under the eaves,
One or two of them were holding one or two ribs, their faces as dark as dogs whose rice bowls had been knocked over and thrown away.
Morale and all that, it's really a mess.
Cui Qishan silently walked into the protection of the eaves and wiped his face. He was really afraid that some team members would shout, "Captain, I miss my mother!"
If that's the case, in order to preserve the organization of this team, wouldn't he have to marry a wife and have children in Zhanggang Village, maybe with an 18-year-old suspect!
"The meat has been soaked in the rain, so I'm afraid it won't taste good." Xiao Si flicked the ribs twice as if to throw them away.
Cui Qishan said "hmm" and asked, "Is it too late to take it off?"
"It was very hot, so I took two pieces off with a cloth. The rest were soaked until it rained before I took them off." Xiao Si sighed: "The house leaks and it rains all night long, what a damn place!"
"Keep your voice down, don't let the fellow villagers hear it." Cui Qishan sighed. He temporarily agreed with Xiao Si's evaluation of Zhanggang Village. It is really a poor place. If he stays in a place like this, he should think of a way out.
.if so.
"The good news is that the rice is cooked." The ribs Li Jiang carried in his hand looked bleak, and he added: "When the rain stops, I can cook it again and it should be edible."
"It's better than nothing." Xiao Si said and muttered: "If any restaurant in Beijing served me ribs like this, I would call the police on the spot."
"Let's cook braised pork or something later. Reinforcements are arriving today." Cui Qishan updated the team members on the news he had just received.
Xiao Si clicked his tongue twice: "Does it mean that the rain just dropped them on the road?"
When Cui Qishan thought about it, it really was.
This was a problem. When they came to Zhanggang Village, they had to push carts in between. Cui Qishan himself even chewed a mouthful of mud because of it. It's raining so heavily now, and the people who come don't know what kind of punishment they will suffer.
"Let's get some hot water. I can take a shower or something later." Cui Qishan made arrangements.
They rented two apartments in the village, both of which have solar water heaters. If they save a little, they can barely take a hot bath.
Wang Chao nodded and ran to make arrangements.
Cui Qishan went to the kitchen in person and arranged for the invited cook to cook some meat dishes.
When the smoke rose again, Wang Chao ran back.
"The rain broke the pipes, and the roof leaked. I can't take a shower today, and sleeping is also a problem." Wang Chao spread his hands and lay down completely.
"Yes. It's unlucky for them." Cui Qishan paused, then shook his head: "It's unlucky for us. We don't have a hot bath?"
"Burn some water to wash?"
"It's not troublesome enough."
"Forget it, we have to make room for them at night." Several people huddled in the kitchen to discuss for a long time, and Cui Qishan's cell phone rang again.
The call came from the village chief.
"The road to the village has been cut off. There might be a mudslide. Tell your people not to be swept away." The village chief's voice was loud and urgent. He was really afraid of being buried by cadres from the capital.
Here it is.
"I understand, thank you very much." Cui Qishan hung up the phone and was stunned. Then he remembered to call Tao Lu. After explaining the situation here, he asked: "Distribution... No, who is the reinforcement?
Do I know him? I'll call him directly."
"Well, it was Qi Changye who brought the people in his team, so I didn't tell you just now." Tao Lu finally explained and gave a brief summary of Liu Jinghui's reasoning.
"I understand, then I will cooperate." Cui Qishan didn't ask before for the same reason. The police are all disciplinary forces after all, and there must be a reason why the superiors didn't tell them. In this case, once it involves this
If you don't comply with the religious rules, it must be Qi Changye's fault.
After hanging up the phone, Cui Qishan felt relieved.
"It's Qi Changye and the people from his team who are here. It looks like he won't be able to come for a while. Let's eat." We don't have much interaction with each other, and he didn't recruit this young Dragon King Yu, so let's just let it happen.
.
Everyone ate up all the braised pork and the like, imagining the hardships of Qi Changye and others along the way, and slept peacefully in a house that didn't leak.
The next day.
It was almost noon when Zhanggang Village welcomed Qi Changye and others who were like mud monkeys.
"The car broke down on the road." Qi Changye smiled bitterly and explained to Cui Qishan: "The road was broken. The bridge was broken. When we took the detour, we went a little further due to mudslides."
He tried to minimize the description of the hardships involved. Qi Changye knew in his heart that no one would sympathize with you because of this, they would only laugh at you.
Cui Qishan was quite serious and said: "We are also affected by heavy rain here. The roof is leaking a little and the water heater is broken. We have enough food for now. Can I get some for you?"
"Okay. Thank you." What can Qi Changye say? Judging from yesterday's experience, it would be good to survive.
There have been more cases recently, and life and work have become extremely difficult.
Qi Changye gritted his teeth. If he had any trait worth boasting about, it would be toughness.
Completing the investigation of cases under difficult conditions is nothing more than a common occurrence.
…
Zhengguang Bureau.
Jiang Yuan looked at the large amount of fingerprint, DNA and footprint evidence and fell into deep thought.
Liu Jinghui's idea was very good, and Tao Lu provided sufficient resources, but he couldn't find anyone, so it was all in vain.
"It's not a good sign for such a group of people to see no one alive or no body after death." Tao Lu was also a little anxious, and he wandered into Jiang Yuan's office not long after.
He usually doesn't come so frequently, and more often calls people over to report to him. Now, Tao Lu is a little worried about affecting Jiang Yuan's work.
Liu Jinghui was sitting next to him, not playing with his mobile phone, but looking like he was thinking. After hearing Tao Lu's words, he slowly said: "Escape from the world, or collective suicide, are common upgraded forms of evil religions."
Many non-mainstream sects abroad have followed these two paths. Famous ones include the Amish who reject modern technology, and the tragic massacre of 900 people by the Peoples Temple.
Liu Jinghui and Tao Lu didn't think the problem was so serious, but as police officers, a defensive mentality was essential.
Moreover, this possibility was so terrifying that Tao Lu didn't even dare to think about how shocked he would be if he dug out such a case himself!
Reimbursing three times the expenses is a small amount, right?
"Jiang Yuan, if you have any ideas, you can tell me." Tao Lu knew that Jiang Yuan had many methods, and he trusted Jiang Yuan more than Liu Jinghui.
Liu Jinghui talks nonsense and is not responsible, just like the counselors in ancient times. Jiang Yuan is different. He leads a team of people to solve the case. Huang Qiangmin will not undermine himself or Jiang Yuan. reputation.
Those who give money are more reliable. This is probably what Tao Lu thinks.
Jiang Yuan also thought for a long time and said at this time: "Assuming that Liu Chu's idea is followed and it is indeed a religious behavior, if these people are all dead, that is another matter, but if they are alive, there will be no information at all. No, I'm afraid it's like Qingling Mountain, where you have a separate residence and a separate living circle."
Tao Lu nodded solemnly. This was a natural choice. An organization that could build such a house before had no reason to decline later.
Especially those with the word evil, usually they are not short of money.
In modern society, if there is no shortage of money, there are still many ways to escape from the world.
"Looking for daily necessities?" Tao Lu naturally put forward a point of view.
Jiang Yuan looked at Liu Jinghui and thought about it and said: "If we want to conduct investigations, I recommend choosing someone personally. Our Shannan Province's Xu Taining, a first-level senior police chief, does an excellent job in investigation. We also often cooperate with each other."
"Okay, I will invite you through the ministries and commissions, and then talk to the Shannan Provincial Department." Tao Lu agreed immediately. Although the ministries and commissions themselves have experts who specialize in troubleshooting, there is no level written on the faces of the experts. , it’s hard to say who is better than who.
Since it was Jiang Yuan's recommendation and it was a senior police chief he knew well and cooperated with, Tao Lu had no objection.
On the other hand, everyone knows that conducting investigations costs money. Tao Lu felt that if he were a police officer from Shannan Province, he would at least be more diligent and thrifty.
