I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 278 Land Disputes
After arriving at the airport and getting the boarding pass, I waited for another hour, but there was still no feedback from Dai Qiang, presumably Ye Zhi was still illegally detained by the villagers, and the matter did not get any substantive results solve.

Before boarding the plane, I called Dai Qiang again and asked for the specific address of the hotel in Sanya. Dai Qiang asked me to find a person in charge named Wu after arriving at the hotel. The situation tells me.

At 01:30 in the middle of the night, I got on the plane on time. After more than two hours of flying, I finally arrived in Sanya at four o'clock in the morning.

……

Sanya has a tropical marine monsoon climate, and the temperature at this time is at least 15 degrees higher than that of Shanghai. After I simply took off my coat, I didn’t have time to change other clothes, so I ran directly outside the terminal... Ye Zhi’s hotel is far from the airport There is still a distance of more than 40 kilometers, so it will take about an hour to take a taxi there.

At this time, I was exhausted, but even if I could take a nap in the car, I just couldn't fall asleep. My mind was full of thoughts about whether Ye Zhi had been persecuted inhumanely.

This is not unfounded worry, because from the information fed back to me by Dai Qiang, this group of villagers has already accumulated a lot of anger, otherwise they would not have injured the two staff members of the hotel.

When I was thinking about this, I urged the driver to drive faster, but the driver couldn't understand my feelings. He agreed, but still at a constant speed of [-] yards. Driving on the road of coconut trees.

If I were to drive, I would have to go at least a hundred yards on this divided two-way lane.

I couldn't hold back anymore, so I urged the driver again. He impatiently pointed to the speed limit sign in front of him... I just realized that the maximum speed set on this road section is [-] yards per hour.

……

At five o'clock, I finally arrived at the hotel, and I walked quickly to the lobby of the hotel.At this time, the hotel was brightly lit, and several staff members were sitting in the reception area of ​​the hotel lobby, seeming to be discussing something.

I walked towards them and asked, "Which one of you is Manager Wu?"

A man with a cropped cut and glasses looked up at me and asked, "I am, who are you?"

"My name is Mi Gao, and I'm a friend of Mr. Ye... I've already contacted people from your group before, and he will contact you when he comes here."

"Yes, yes, yes, my colleagues in Shanghai have already told me, please sit down quickly..." He then turned to a female staff member beside him and said, "Xiao Zhao, hurry up and give me a seat." Mr. Michael pours a glass of hot water."

"No, please tell me what's going on now."

Manager Wu said to me with a bitter face: "The year before last, our group requisitioned land locally to build this hotel. We have always operated in accordance with the formal procedures, but the village committee hid the villagers and took the land away. The ownership office is under the name of the village committee, and the "Collective Land Ownership Certificate" was obtained, and then 30.00% of the compensation was withheld for the purpose of developing village-level undertakings, and the rest was given to the villagers... The villagers must not Yes, but later I didn’t know who was instigating the flames, and the villagers came to the hotel again, saying that the hotel deducted their compensation money... This is obviously nonsense. During the trouble, they talked to our hotel There was a conflict between the security guards, and two of our security guards were injured by them...I guess they couldn't find a way to defend their rights, so they wanted to make things big and attract the attention of the higher authorities."

I finally figured out the ins and outs of this incident, and I asked Manager Wu: "Are the two security guards okay... I heard they were seriously injured!"

"They were all sent to the hospital for treatment in time. The person's life is not in danger, but the hospital has not issued an injury report yet."

I nodded and asked again, "Did you call the police?"

"Reported, but there are too many villagers involved, and the police station has no solution for the time being..." At this point, Manager Wu sighed heavily, and said: "The idea that the law does not blame the public is in the minds of the Chinese people. It's too deep-rooted; in recent years, there have been few tragedies caused by this idea, I have really seen how powerful these people are!...Moreover, I don't understand what Mr. Ye is thinking, she is intervening Before this matter, we have repeatedly told us to deal with it with restraint and not to make things big... But are these people worthy of sympathy?"

I was silent for a while and replied: "She is also thinking about the overall situation... After all, the hotel is opened in the place where people's ancestors lived for generations. Impossible!"

"That's right. Sitting in her position is really different from our way of thinking about the problem... Then, do you have any good ways to deal with this matter now?"

I thought for a while and replied, "Do you know where you Mr. Ye are locked up by them? I'll go and see."

"You'd better not go, these villagers are too barbaric, and there is no way to communicate... Otherwise, wait for what the police station says, they have sent people and are negotiating with the villagers' representatives, and there should be a result soon. "

"I don't want to wait for a minute... Don't worry, I have a sense of discretion in handling this matter. These villagers are always villagers, not any organization. To put it bluntly, they are a mess. I will think of a way."

"I believe you have the ability, but I'm afraid there will be a conflict and you won't be able to control the situation by yourself... Or, I'll send two security guards to go with you."

"There are too many people making mistakes, so I can go by myself."

"Are you sure it's okay?"

I nodded solemnly. Manager Wu told me the place where Ye Zhi was illegally detained... In fact, it was in an abandoned warehouse not far from the hotel. , and a dog assists from it.

Therefore, my judgment is not wrong. The villagers are still villagers after all, and they detain people more out of whim, so it is impossible to have a high level of defense.

……

I looked up some cases of land disputes similar to this on the Internet, and I knew it well, so I went to the warehouse where Ye Zhi was locked up. This warehouse is very close to the sea. There is a yard outside the warehouse, and there are weeds in the yard. Congsheng really looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, and the one sitting at the door and guarding it was a young man about 20 years old.Judging by the appearance, it is not the kind that is particularly difficult to communicate with.

I walked up to him and asked with a smile, "Brother, I'm traveling in Sanya. Is there any relatively high-end hotel nearby, please recommend it."

The young man was not at all on guard against me. He pointed to Ye Zhi's hotel and replied, "The hotel in front of this beach is the most upscale...but you won't be able to live there."

I pretended to glance in the direction of the hotel, and said, "I see the lights are all on...why can't I stay?"

"This hotel confiscated our village's land and didn't pay us... We're having trouble with them."

"Oh, that's really black-hearted...Come on, little brother, smoke a cigarette to refresh yourself, and tell me what's going on."

The young man took the cigarette from me, and I lit it for him; probably because he was too bored after watching it all night, he even started chatting with me who pretended to ask for directions... Judging from the content of his chat with me, he was really I didn't know that the source of the conflict in this matter was their village committee, so it was true that someone was turning black and white behind these villagers' backs.

I unhurriedly lit a cigarette and said, "It shouldn't be... If the hotel doesn't pay your land expropriation compensation in place, it's impossible for the relevant departments to let them start construction... Didn't you Figure out the situation?"

"I don't know. People in the village say that... and some say that they were arrested by the village committee. Anyway, I'm just following them!"

I nodded, looked around again, and asked, "I don't see anyone in this area, where are you?"

The young man glanced into the warehouse, and then said to me in a low voice: "The person in charge of that hotel is locked inside, I'll just put it here and watch!"

I pretended to be stunned for a moment, and then replied in a surprised tone: "Brother...you are illegally detained...who is so wicked to ask you to do this?"

"What illegal detention?"

"Look, this is the explanation of illegal detention on the Internet... This is a criminal offense, and you have to pay criminal responsibility; I don't think you look like someone who has never read a book. It is impossible for this kind of common sense law to be completely wrong understand?"

The young man felt guilty and replied: "This matter was discussed by everyone. If you really want to break the law, you can't just punish me?"

"Brother, let me tell you the truth...I am a lawyer myself. I have seen too many cases of illegal detention. I have encountered situations like yours...You people who make trouble together, There is a general mentality that the law does not blame the public... From a certain level, there is indeed such a situation... But when it is finally dealt with, it will definitely take the lead in making troubles, as well as those with specific criminal acts like you People are arrested and severely punished... You say, you can't just break the law and kill people just because of the saying that the law does not punish the public?... If this is the case, the country will not be messed up! So in the end it must be done. A few people were arrested and severely punished...Last month, there was a troublemaker like you, who was not charged with illegal detention, but directly convicted of kidnapping...and sentenced to 15 years."

"Don't scare me!"

"I really didn't scare you, you were really tricked...I just asked, why didn't other people come, and you were sent for this matter?"

The young man glanced at me in a panic, and replied: "My parents died early, and they were raised by people in the village. If there is any physical work, they let me do it."

"Brother, let me stress it again...you are not manual labor, it is a crime...you should release him quickly."

The young man looked terrified, but his reason was still there, and he asked me with a trace of vigilance: "You are just asking for directions, why do you care about this?"
