Return to Splendid

When he heard the bald man shouting: "Accountant Qi, come and see, Pu Mingfa is going to beat someone up." Xing Yi knew that the person coming was the accountant of the village committee, that is, someone from the management.

Accountant Qi came in. He was a lean man with messy beards above and below his lips. He frowned slightly when he noticed a stranger. He looked closely and saw that there was a soybean-sized sarcoma in the recess of his nose. Following his gaze, the sarcoma Also followed the excitement.

"You are……"

"My name is Xing Yi. I'm from the city. You are the accountant of the village committee, the person in charge, right?"

He nodded frequently: "How should I put it? It should be considered so."

Xing Yi said: "That's good. Since I'm the person in charge, I'll tell you. I'm here. I'm appointed by Hongda Company to help you build an irrigation station in your village."

"Building an irrigation station? It's a good thing. Welcome. Have you eaten?"

"Ate."

"Just eat at Lao Pu's house?"

"Yes."

"The situation in Lao Pu's family is relatively satisfactory."

"Satisfied and satisfied."

"Well, that's good. Can we take a moment to talk?"

He turned around and nodded to Pu Mingfa, took Xing Yi out, walked to the house to block his head, looked around first, then got closer and spoke in a low voice.

"You are here to help the village, why don't you go to the village committee and come here?"

Xing Yi replied: "I couldn't find anyone in the village. I went to the site to investigate alone. Then I met Lao Pu. With his help, I conducted the investigation and even entered the cave."

"Oh, you got his help and developed a crush on him, so you came to his house with him and served his bowl?"

"Yes."

He turned and looked back: "Then I want to tell you, you are in the wrong place."

"why?"

"You don't know yet, but the man named Pu is a suspect."

"Suspect? What did he commit?"

"There was a case of illegal felling of trees at the Shaxi Township Forest Farm. Half of the hilltop was burned down and dozens of good trees were stolen. After investigation, two burnt sections of bright charcoal heads were found at the scene. No one has that thing now. If it is used again, it is almost extinct, and only Pu Mingfa’s house still has it.”

Qi Guisheng pointed to the house: "Look, his house." Xing Yi followed his finger and saw that the house was not only dilapidated, but also a bit tilted.

"This house is 50 or [-] years old and has never been repaired. You should have seen the condition of his home. The conditions are very poor. That is to say, he has no money to buy wood at all."

"He has a bald man at home, I've seen this. Because he has to repair the house and has no money to buy wood, so he targets the forest farm?"

"Yes, it's all analyzed this way."

"Just two bright heads can explain the problem. Analysis and suspicion cannot count. There must be hard evidence."

"The police station is conducting an in-depth investigation and evidence will be found soon."

"The police station came forward?"

"Yes, that's who decided he was a suspect."

Xing Yi sighed: "I really didn't expect that."

In the previous life, forest farms were burned down frequently, and there were several similar cases of arson after illegal logging. Some of them were detected, and Xing Yi also had memories, but they were all fragmented, the impression was vague, and the specific circumstances of the case were unclear.

Accountant Qi said: "So I suggest you don't stay here anymore."

"Then where should I go? Or, your house?"

"My home is not good. There is a reception room in the village. You come to help with the work. It is only natural that you live in it."

Xing Yi returned to the house, took out ten yuan and handed it to Pu Mingfa: "This is the money for this meal. I have troubled your family for a long time. I'm sorry. I have to go to the village now so I can connect with them there. Thank you."

Pu Mingfa closed his mouth tightly and said nothing, let alone reached out to take the money.

Turning to his lover, she waved her hands repeatedly, took a few steps back, and turned into the kitchen.

Xing Yi had no choice but to put the money on the table, said thanks again, and followed Qi Guisheng out.

The two people also came down, parting ways and walking away.

When they came to the village road, Qi Guisheng asked, "You said you went into that cave. How far did you go in there?"

"It should be four and a half meters."

"Pu Mingfa didn't tell you that there was a python inside?"

"Python? I haven't seen it."

"That's because you are a big boy. You haven't heard that someone went in earlier and was bitten by a python. He died within half a month after returning."

"How big is it?"

"I dare not go in. I have never seen it, but it is said that its body is thicker than a human leg, and its mouth can swallow a calf."

Xing Yi stopped and took a breath. The water pit in the cave was very deep and so dark. It was entirely possible for pythons to grow in such a place.

The village reception room was in a row with the office and was divided into men's room and women's room. Qi Guisheng took the key and opened the door of the men's room and let him in.

While saying: "There is water at Lao Guo's house in the back, just tell him that he is here to help the village. If you are bored, there is a newspaper by the bedside, you can read it as you like."

"Okay, please inform Director Dong."

"I don't know where he is. I'll help you look for him tomorrow."

After Xing Yi was settled, Qi Guisheng went to find Xia Chunsheng and said, "Put some gas on your new motorcycle. Get up early tomorrow and take me to the city. I have something urgent." They agreed on eight yuan for a round trip.

Qi Guisheng went into the city, walked around the streets several times, and finally found Dong Huashan in Tea Room No. [-].

Qi Guisheng was still hungry and said, "We haven't had breakfast yet. Brother Shan, please get some change first?"

Dong Huashan said: "You, if you can't accomplish big things, you often lose at this point. You like to make small calculations."

He took out a ten-yuan note and said, "Today, you didn't choose a good time. Come now, your luck is a bit bad. I only have so much money left, so I'll give it to you. You know, I've been looking for someone in the city these two days. , using money is like running water."

Qi Guisheng took the money and handed it over: "Thank you, Brother Shan. I know that Brother Shan is good to me."

When I came back after eating, I told Xing Yi how he went into the village, went to Pumingfa's house for dinner, and was taken out by him and stayed in the reception room.

Dong Huashan said: "Building an irrigation station? I haven't heard of anyone coming to report it?"

"Brother Shan, you are the same. You are not in the village and people can't find you. So what else can you do? Just go to the ditch by yourself."

"What about those two? How did you tell them?"

"I almost got into a fight when I made my fortune in Puming."

"Go back and emphasize it again, asking them to keep a close eye on you."

"I'm still a little afraid of meeting them. As soon as I see them, I grab them and ask for money."

"A few on-duty fees are worth the hassle."

"No, people are lazy, selfish, and they are all big-mouthed crows."

"If we meet again, tell them to spare a few days."

"How can they believe me?"

"I'll write a note and you just take it with you. Find some paper."

After the note was written, Qi Guisheng said with a playful smile: "No need to sign, just put your fingerprints."

"What's the matter? Just press it."

The two of them looked around and found no ink pads on the tea room counter.

Dong Huashan said: "The only way is to buy it on the street."

Qi Guisheng said: "I don't know which street or shop sells it."

Dong Huashan said: "You raised the problem, so you have to find a solution."

Qi Guisheng looked around, and suddenly Dong Huashan said: "Don't move." He raised his hand and slapped Qi Guisheng on the neck.

Qi Guisheng was slapped for no reason. Stars appeared in front of his eyes. He touched his neck and said, "Brother Shan, what are you doing? What did I do wrong?"

Dong Huashan said: "It's not your fault, it's the mosquito." Looking at the palm of his hand, there was a drop of blood.

"Ouch, you're so harsh!" Qi Guisheng yelled and burst into tears.

"I'm sorry, I saw that mosquito was sucking blood, so I took action." Dong Huashan rubbed the ring with two fingers and said, "Your face is too fragile. Hey, isn't this ink pad? I'm still looking for it everywhere." "
