Temporary partner

The last time I went to Yufa Village, I entered from the east side of the village along the direction of the bus. This time, Zu Tianyang and Ji Yan deliberately took a detour, took the main road and entered from the west side of the village. The shape of Yufa Village is a bit like The horseshoe is separated from the large fields by the mountains in the middle. Zu Tianyang looked at the endless rice fields: "Since the road is being built, why not build one in this area? This way the village will be faster to move around, and it is also close to the main road." He said. He squinted his eyes and said to Ji Yan: "If the two children are taken away from here, they will leave the county in two hours. Could it be that Wang Xiaomei was killed when she came here to find her boyfriend?"

Ji Yan said: "We did a test at the beginning. Although it is very close to the east of the village, the fields in the middle are full of mud. It rains a lot during this period, and cars cannot pass at all. Once you enter, the wheels will be stuck. If It would be very dangerous to walk for at least an hour, and it was not early at that time, so the two of them would not walk across the barren fields to the neighboring village."

Zu Tianyang narrowed his eyes and looked at the small shacks built in the field: "What is this for?"

Ji Yan said: "Look at the autumn, the crops have come down in autumn, and the village will send people to watch, lest someone steal the food." Seeing Zu Tianyang's pensive look, he felt a little angry, and said bluntly: " Wangqiu’s shack is in the middle of the field. Unless the two children walk over by themselves, this is too impossible. To solve a case, you need to look at the evidence. .It's just a waste of time."

Zu Tianyang watched Team Leader Ji blowing his hair, so he could only stretch out his hands in a good-tempered manner to express his submission: "Okay, okay, what you said makes sense, I'm just talking casually. It's just that the place where the crime happened is vague to us It is too difficult to solve the case, so it is better to be sure."

Ji Yan turned his face away and didn't want to talk to him. Zu Tianyang walked to the side of the road and looked at the mud, and agreed with Ji Yan's words in his heart. The soil here is not only barren but also muddy, and the fields are wide. In the dark winter evening, it might be too young for the two girls to cross over.

Ji Yan lost his temper and regretted it a bit. He wasn't targeting Zu Tianyang, but he couldn't help feeling a little discouraged when he thought that the case might have so many incidents. After Zu Tianyang came, he was skeptical about their previous judgment on the case. , as if denying their efforts, but Ji Yan also knew in his heart that Zu Tianyang was also trying to solve the case. He said that he was right, but he still mixed his personal emotions into this case that could not be solved for a long time.

After seeing the land, Zu Tianyang raised his head and saw that the season gas tank seemed to have been deflated. He stood behind him with his head drooping, and quickly looked around, thinking that he didn't dare to say anything. Offended Leader Ji?

The river in the west of the village is plentiful, and the road in the east is muddy. Although it is paved with gravel, it is still not easy to walk. After getting back into the car, the two of them had nothing to say all the way. Ji Yan drove the car silently, and Zu Tianyang squinted his eyes Looking at the mountains on both sides, compared to the east of the village, the west of the village is obviously much richer. Most of the houses have been refurbished. Several large pits have been reclaimed in the mountains in the distance, and several huge cranes are moving stones inside. The reason why the road is built here , just to facilitate the transportation of white marble, the car drove past quickly, and Ji Yan parked the car in front of a row of tile-roofed houses.

Ji Yan knocked on the door, and a middle-aged man came out of the tile-roofed house. The village committee of Yufa Village was to the east, and there was also an office to the west. With a cigarette in his mouth, although he quickly closed the door, Zu Tianyang still saw three people sitting inside, who seemed to be playing mahjong. The man squinted his swollen eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ji Yan was wearing a uniform, but the village cadres didn't seem to take them seriously. His tone was a little impatient, and he wiped his nose loudly.

Zu Tianyang smiled lightly, but did not speak, Ji Yan said: "I am in charge of the disappearance of Ma Yufen and Wang Xiaomei, I asked you to inquire about the situation."

As soon as the words were finished, the village cadre, who was still irritated just now, immediately squeezed out a few wrinkles and smiled: "Oh, so it's the comrades in the town, so what..., just ask if you have anything, and we will definitely cooperate."

Under the leadership of the village cadres, Zu Tianyang and Ji Yan found the house where Wang Xiaomei was engaged. They could see that the conditions were good, but the attitude of the other party was very bad. It's bad luck, no matter whether Wang Xiaomei can be found or not, their family will no longer want her.Once the big girl goes out, who knows what will happen to her.

The deterrence of the police is limited to educated people. In some remote mountain villages, people fear the village head more than the police. If the village officials were not with them this time, they might be kicked out by the villagers. Yan sent the two of them out, and said meaningfully: "Comrade police, we rural people have too little experience and no culture. It is said that the girl in our Village Chief's house was spoiled by Wang Xiaomei, otherwise how could she lose it? Our village cadres are not easy to be. Since this incident happened, we have been checking us all day long. , the face of the village is gone, and in the town, it’s not good to lose someone. Besides, this Chuangzi’s family is unlucky enough. All the money from the lottery is in vain..."

Zu Tianyang doesn't smoke, so he took out a box from Ji Yan's pocket and ordered it for the village cadres: "Brother, we have no other intentions, we just understand the situation, I haven't seen this Wang Chuang, how is the young man?" ?”

The village cadre said: "The young man is decent!"

Zu Tianyang said: "How long have these two been dating?"

The village cadre said: "I don't know about it, has it been half a year?"

Zu Tianyang said: "Both children are quite willing?"

The village cadre said: "If you are willing, it is not the old days when the parents said it and the organization introduced it. Now it is the young people who are willing."

Zu Tianyang said: "By the way, I still need to find your village chief. Is he in the east of the village?"

The village cadre said: "It should be. After the accident, we advised him to rest for a few days and look for the baby, but he insisted on not listening, and devoted himself to work, in order to solve the problems for the people, and to provide everyone. Help, he is either serving the people or on the way to serve the people..."

Zu Tianyang couldn't listen any longer, so he couldn't help but interrupt him and said, "That...you are in charge of writing the text, right?"

The village cadre said: "Yes, I am in charge of writing official documents and reception."

Zu Tianyang nodded again and again: "It can be seen that your conversation is extraordinary, you must be talented, and the leader has good eyesight. The two of us still have something to do. You can continue to work. Seeing your Ao Hong's eyes for serving the people, we are all worried. Don't give up."

The village cadres yawned and went back. Ji Yan made Zu Tianyang laugh out loud at his words in the vernacular. Why is the partner so awkward? He couldn't help but stretch out his hand to run his hair. Ji Yan wanted to punch him at first, but then he felt a little embarrassed when he thought about losing his temper at him for no reason during the day, so he snorted and endured it. Living.

Zu Tianyang thinks that the Ji team is sometimes like a huge cat, showing its sharp claws at every turn, but after getting used to it, it can still be trampled by people occasionally. It doesn't look like it, but it's still very flattering.

Team leader Ji changed several nicknames in Zu Tianyang's heart in just a few days, but he still didn't know it at the moment, and led Zu Tianyang all the way to the foot of the mine.Along the way, the two chatted about the case again, and Ji Yan said, "I met Wang Chuang once. He was thin and small, and he didn't look good with Wang Xiaomei. At that time, I also thought that Wang Xiaomei might not like this marriage. Very satisfied, but even if she ran away, she shouldn't bring Ma Yufen with her."

Zu Tianyang nodded: "Well, Wang Xiaomei was born. People in this village are united, so it's not easy to ask, but I always feel that this child is not close to Widow Wang, and it is not impossible for Widow Wang to use her in exchange for a bride price. Will it Someone took advantage of her thoughts?"

Ji Yan said: "The things you said may only happen when acquaintances commit crimes. What if they are strangers? Then what we investigate is meaningless, we are just doing useless work."

Zu Tianyang said: "Well, but for such an old girl, the chances of being taken away by strangers may be lower than that of acquaintances. The kind you mentioned is mostly child trafficking. Of these two girls, one is educated and the other is educated. Life experience, you won't be easily fooled, don't be discouraged. The case will definitely be solved."

The two walked and talked all the way until they reached the place where the mine was opened. The mine was surrounded by layers. A few people wearing hard hats found them and shouted for them to leave. Ji Yan showed his police officer ID, and a person who seemed to be the leader , looked them up and down several times before saying to discuss with the person in charge.

It was discovered that several mountains of white marble had been monopolized and contracted, and outsiders were usually not allowed to enter. Because of the investigation, Ji Yan and Zu Tianyang gave permission to wear hard hats and go to the construction site to watch.Zu Tianyang picked up the blasted gravel on the construction site, and took out a handful of stones from his pocket to compare carefully. Ji Yan came over curiously: "What are you doing?"

Zu Tianyang narrowed his eyes and put the stone in Ji Yan's hand: "Do you see any difference?"

Ji Yan held it and looked at it: "The colors are different."

Zu Tianyang said: "I picked this piece from Yufa Village."

Ji Yan said: "There are differences in the stones, so it doesn't mean anything. Even Yufa Village doesn't necessarily use gravel to pave the road here."

Zu Tianyang nodded: "That's right, where did the stones for the pavement of Yufa Village come from?"

Hearing what he said, Ji Yan also became puzzled. He understood what Zu Tianyang meant. The mine was close to Yufa Village, and there were a lot of stone materials. He took the stone in Zu Tianyang's hand and said, "Let's go, find an expert to ask."

After the mine was opened here, several technicians were stationed in the province, including experts in geology.When these technicians were stationed here before, they had greeted the local public security organs. Ji Yan also met them once. He took Zu Tianyang to find the technician's workstation, explained his purpose, and put the stone to them.

The technicians picked up two stones, compared them a bit, and told them that generally speaking, stones from the same ore vein and different mining areas will have differences in density and quality. Even in the same mining area, different layers will produce different stones. The characteristics of stone, especially white stone, can be easily seen. The two stones are probably not from the same mining area. One has obviously been jadeized, but the other can only be treated as rough stone.The technicians talked for a long time, but Ji Yan and Zu Tianyang still had question marks on their faces. The technicians finally said: "Actually, these rocks were ordinary limestone at first, but some mountains have magma at the bottom, and some don't, so some rocks are covered with magma." Calcium carbonate rock is burned, which is commonly known as white marble, and some are still limestone. The issue of judging the provenance of stones is a bit big, and requires a lot of comparison and research, according to ".It is mainly composed of CaCO3 and MgCO3 and SiO2, and also contains small amounts of Al2O3, Fe2O3..."

Zu Tianyang coughed and interrupted him: "That, that...comrade, I just want to know if the stones used to pave the road in the next village are the wastes that were pulled from you to blow up the mountain?"

The technician said: "Precise results require a lot of experiments, but from the naked eye, I don't think so."

Zu Tianyang let out a sigh of relief: "Okay, thank you very much."
