When Jiang Jincheng was investigating the illegal detention of a young girl, he discovered an extremely strange problem. The villagers here all spoke in unison, insisting that such a thing absolutely did not happen.

This is exactly what Jiang Jincheng found strange. Why did they all act so uniformly as if they had colluded with each other?

Normally, during a normal visit, even if this incident has never happened, other people's attitude would mostly be one of surprise, and then they would hesitate for a moment and say they were not sure or did not know.

However, the people in this village insisted with an extremely certain attitude that nothing like this happened in the village. Their rhetoric was very similar, as if they had colluded in advance or had received training again and again. They even knew what Jiang Jincheng would ask next, and had already prepared the answers, just waiting for Jiang Jincheng to ask them so that they could go through the process.

Although Jiang Jincheng did not find anything during the visit, he felt horrified when he thought about it carefully. He guessed that there was a bigger secret behind this case of illegal detention... or that this village was hiding something.

His intuition told him that this was definitely not a false report. The other party made the anonymous report because he had discovered the village's secret but was afraid of retaliation so he spoke ambiguously.

Although Jiang Jincheng did not find any clues during the visit, after he took a tour of this small village, he found that there seemed to be a family in the village preparing for a wedding. There was a buffet outside and the house was covered with wedding characters.

Jiang Jincheng instantly realized that there was a possibility that this village was not illegally detaining girls! It might be abducting girls and selling them to bachelors in the village as wives!

The detained girl was most likely newly bought, and now the men in the village are preparing to get married!

Jiang Jincheng finally understood why the villagers were all talking in the same voice. It was very likely that their wives or even their houses were hiding abducted girls! The whole village was used to this kind of thing and had even acquiesced to it! So they knew how to avoid the police's questioning and how to deal with him!

Jiang Jincheng just felt that there was one thing that didn't make sense. There must be a village party secretary in the village, so why didn't he report the case or report it to the government!

Logically speaking, the village party secretary is directly appointed and sent by the higher-level organization. Why didn't he report such a big thing in the village!

No... Was he the one who made the anonymous report?

Jiang Jincheng has no time to verify his guess now. He has to rescue the detained girl immediately and then see if he can find out from her which other girls have been abducted in the village.

Finally, Jiang Jincheng followed the clues and walked to a dilapidated locked woodshed. However, when he was only five steps away from the woodshed, the phone suddenly rang.

It was this phone call that became Jiang Jincheng's nightmare throughout his life in Qin Village...

The call was from his superior. Jiang Jincheng was just a police officer at the time and had no idea why a superior like that would call him.

The purpose is to urgently stop the case...

"Xiao Jiang, it's good to have a sense of justice, but you can't be so reckless, right?"

"Your mother was in a car accident and was sent to the emergency department. You are still young, and some things cannot be solved by a sense of justice."

"Even if you don't consider yourself, you have to consider your mother, right?"

"She's so old, she can't stand being hit by a car a few times, right?"

"The secret of Sumire Village is not something you can shake at your current level. You are still young and have a long way to go in the future. If you are retaliated by those people because of a case like this, it will not be worth it, right?"

"Xiao Jiang, I know you feel very uncomfortable now, but think about it, you are just a police officer now. If you want to move Qin Village, you can wait until you are promoted to a higher level and then lead people to move it."

"You can't afford the consequences of touching it at the current level. You are still alone in Qin Village. Do you think if you really find out something... will they really allow you to return safely?"

"Your mother is old and in poor health. It's hard to see a young person die. You should think more about your family, right?"

"This time it was a car accident, but who knows what it will be next time. Xiao Jiang, you don't want to leave Qin Village with missing limbs, do you?"

"A sense of justice is a good thing, but a sense of justice without solid strength is a joke. What do you think, Xiao Jiang?"

"You haven't opened the woodshed door yet, right? So do you think we should stop here? If we don't open the woodshed now, who knows if there is a girl inside? It's still not too late to stop here and come back. After all, no one knows whether what the person who reported the crime is true or not."

The moment Jiang Jincheng answered the phone, he felt as if his body had fallen into an icy cave. He suddenly realized how horrible the secret of Qin Village was. It actually made the leaders above...

Jiang Jincheng's sense of justice was shaken. He still had a family, and he really couldn't use his family as a gamble...

If he doesn't open the door of the woodshed, then whether there is a girl inside is like Schrödinger's cat.

Jiang Jincheng, who has been a policeman to defend justice, discovered at this moment how insignificant the so-called justice is, so insignificant that it would be threatened by such dark things.

That's right, Jiang Jincheng stopped only five steps away from the secret. He couldn't abandon his family, and he realized that he couldn't fight against Qincun.

The words from his superiors frightened him. He was still in Sumire Village and there were no police officers around him. If something unexpected happened during the investigation...

He can't gamble, he has no chips to gamble...

On the day Jiang Jincheng was forced to be transferred back, the illegal detention case in Qincun was simply dropped as a false case. His superiors criticized Jiang Jincheng for this false case. Other police officers who didn't know the reason just thought that Jiang Jincheng was really stupid and wasted his time, but only Jiang Jincheng knew how dark the situation behind Qincun was.

He rushed to the hospital as soon as he got back that day, and found that his mother was just frightened by the car accident and had no external injuries. He realized that this was just a warning, a warning for him not to meddle in other people's business...

Jiang Jincheng was forced to stop investigating Qincun, but this incident has always been a thorn in his heart and the most shameful part of his career. Jiang Jincheng often spent his time in self-blame and regret. He knew that although he did not open the door of the woodshed, the phone call had actually given him the answer.

The trapped girl was only five steps away from him, but he gave her hope and pushed her into despair with his own hands...

Later, Jiang Jincheng's achievements became more and more prominent, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not make a significant improvement. It was as if someone was hindering his development and was worried that he would really develop to a certain level and start investigating the Qin Village again.
