Temporary partner

In the early morning of the next day, five people from the second group squeezed into the broken red flag and walked to Yufa Village in a mighty way. The road was bumpy again. Ding Dong's buttocks were so painful that he looked out of the window and said: "You said this place is so difficult to walk, why doesn't Yufa Village think of a way?"

Li Mao said, "What can I do to pave another line with gravel?"

Ding Dong said: "No, you said that instead of building roads in the village, they might as well build a small road along their land. Wouldn't it be much more convenient to enter the city?"

Wang Tianming said: "What you said is simple. You can't pull out that kind of paddy field if you step on it. What can you do if the wheels get stuck in it? Besides, the poor in Yufa Village couldn't afford to eat a few years ago. Who has the money? Do you have experience running to the city? Don’t think that when you go out, you go out, just keep your mouth shut.”

Zu Tianyang and Ji Yan lived and ate together. They grew up together all day long, and quickly got to know and adapt to each other. Ji Yan gradually became less aloof than before, and their conversations gradually became closer. Usually, they were the two of them together. They bickered all the way, but there were so many people today that they were silent.

Without the neighbors upstairs, the two of them had a good rest these two days, and soon drove to the village. There were not many villagers catching the last bus. Ji Yan assigned tasks to everyone, and everyone went to investigate separately.

Zu Tianyang and Ji Yan went to investigate a village woman named Zhao Guitian. They found out where she lived, and saw Zhao Guitian's husband, Li Dagui, squatting at the door eating from a distance. They wiped their noses and turned their heads to squat. He half-covered the bowl with his hand, as if he was a little afraid that they would come to grab something to eat.Zu Tianyang looked at the fat man slightly, and felt that he seemed abnormal.

Ji Yan walked over and asked him, "Is this Zhao Guitian's home?"

The fat man buried himself in his meal, but when he heard Ji Yan's question, he suddenly yelled strangely, kicking and kicking at them, "Who are you? Go away!"

Zu Tianyang pulled Ji Yan away and shook his head at him. An old farmer next to him who was carrying a hoe saw him and stretched his neck and asked, "What do you guys do?"

Zu Tianyang said: "Master, we are from the Public Security Bureau, find Zhao Guitian."

Who would have thought that it would be fine if he didn't say this, but as soon as he finished speaking, the fat man became even more frantic: "Get out, get out."

The old farmer also changed his face and left quickly.

Ji Yan and Zu Tianyang looked at each other, they both felt that something was wrong, Ji Yan went up a few steps to restrain the fat man, Zu Tianyang knocked on the door: "Is there anyone? Is Zhao Guitian in?"

No one inside agreed, the fat man yelled, as if Ji Yan was going to kill him, he yelled, and soon attracted nearby villagers, everyone saw Ji Yan screwing the fat man against the wall, and they all rushed over , and some even held hoes and shovels.Seeing this posture, Zu Tianyang quickly said: "Don't get me wrong, we are not bad people, we just came to ask Zhao Guitian about something..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the old farmer who had just run away with a man running over, pointing at Ji Yan and the others, "It's them!"

Ji Yan recognized this person, and he was also a village cadre in Yufa Village. The man also recognized Ji Yan, and asked in confusion, "Are you a policeman in the town? Are you looking for Ma Yufen and Wang Xiaomei?"

Ji Yan didn't speak, the village cadre took out his cigarette pouch, and knocked on the old man: "What are you talking about! He's a policeman in the town, looking for a girl for the village chief!"

Zu Tianyang squeezed out a smile and asked the village cadre, "Who are you?"

The man said, "Oh, I'm the director of the village propaganda team. These villagers don't know much, so don't worry about it."

Ji Yan said, "We have declared our identities."

The director said: "Our village is united. Li Dagui is a fool. The village is afraid that he will be bullied. It's nothing. Why do you ask him? He doesn't know anything, he is a fool."

Ji Yan said, "We're not looking for him, we're looking for someone named Zhao Guitian."

The director said: "Oh, that's his wife. I don't know if she's at home, I'll go and ask you."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the door and knocked on the door: "Mrs. Li, I am Director Xing. Is your daughter-in-law at home?"

After a while, the door opened a crack, and an old lady walked out of the door when she saw the coming with a child in her arms: "Director, what's the matter?"

The director said, "People from the Public Security Bureau have come to look for your daughter-in-law, are you there?"

The old lady shook her head: "No, I went back to my mother's house."

Zu Tianyang asked: "Where is her natal family?"

The old lady hugged the child and coaxed: "My old woman doesn't know, what Yangshu Village is called, I have never heard of it, it's a remote village."

Zu Tianyang squinted his eyes and didn't make a sound. In this kind of place, married women probably seldom go back to their natal home on weekdays except for the New Year's Eve. The director bit a big cigarette bag and said to Ji Yan: "Why is she lying to you as an old woman? At home This son is stupid, and his daughter-in-law is crazy, how can he abduct people?"

Probably because he spoke too loudly, the doll in the old lady’s arms started to cry, she pinned her hair on her head, and Li Dagui, who was on the side, hurried over and stood at the door after he regained his freedom, looking at Ji Yan and the others vigilantly, The old lady put the child's hand in his hand and closed the door with her free hand: "Let's go, let's go, my son has a problem, and if he gets sick and hurts you, I can't control this lonely old woman."

The director shook his head and shouted to the surrounding villagers: "It's all gone, it's gone! What are you watching! It's gone!"

Then he said to Ji Yan and Zu Tianyang: "I'm not talking about you, you two came to our village without saying a word, just came to check people like this, you don't take the village committee seriously, I came out here In time, if there is a real fight and something happens, whose responsibility will it be. These villagers are very barbaric, and they really hurt you two, what should we do?"

What he said was high-sounding, and finally he knocked on the cigarette bag and left. Ji Yan let out a sigh of relief. As soon as his brows and eyes became angry, Zu Tianyang grabbed him and shook his head at him. Ji Yan gritted his teeth and shook his head again. Low, Zu Tianyang took him two steps away, and the voice of the old lady scolding the dog came from the yard: "You bastard! It's time to take care of the house or not, pick up the mouse! What are you doing keeping you?" It’s not good to catch the bad guys, instead, people like us come to ask this and that all day long!”

Zu Tianyang looked at Ji Yan who was walking in front of him with his neck shrunk, followed him two steps and put his arms around his shoulders: "Troublemakers come out of poor mountains and evil waters... It's over, it's okay to eat from this public house and be scolded by the masses." Let's stick together."

Ji Yan pursed his lips in front of him, tilted his head, and said in his usual indifferent tone: "Did you hear that? It's time to watch the house or not, and it's time to pick up the mouse! It's you!"

Back in the car, Zu Tianyang asked him: "The people here are really not very friendly to outsiders. I saw that Li Qiang before, and he seemed to be excluded."

Ji Yan said: "The town is fine, but the situation in the village is even more serious. I heard that no major incidents have happened in this village. Since it was merged into the town, there were problems after foreigners came to mine, so the villagers have different opinions. big."

Zu Tianyang said: "They still have big opinions? If there is a problem, it is reasonable not to call the police in time. If you intervene in the investigation at that time, even if you can't stop people halfway, there must be more clues and evidence than now."

Ji Yan nodded.

Zu Tianyang asked suddenly: "Do you know where her natal family is from?"

Ji Yan said: "I don't know, but daughters married in the countryside rarely return to their natal homes."

Zu Tianyang pursed his lips: "You also found out, it's not a festival, why would she go back to her mother's house?"

Ji Yan said: "Her mother-in-law didn't even open the door. She may not have really returned to her mother's house, but she didn't let us see her."

Zu Tianyang nodded: "I think so too. This village is like guarding against outsiders and thieves. Has the local police station bullied them, for example, because they have damaged their interests because of the mountain?"

Ji Yan said: "Probably not."

Zu Tianyang said: "There must be some reason for their attitude towards the police and not calling the police when something happens?"

Ji Yan thought for a while: "How about this, when the village chief Ma comes back, let him take him to Zhao Guitian's house to ask. With the village chief taking them, they must open the door, right?"

Zu Tianyang said: "Success, this village chief is a bit interesting. If the child can't be found, why don't you have a meeting?"

Ji Yan said: "Maybe he is impartial."

Zu Tianyang sneered: "It's human nature, if he really puts the cart before the horse and puts the cart before the horse, there must be something wrong with him. By the way, I don't think that Zhao Guitian's man looks normal."

Ji Yan said: "It's a bit, it seems a bit difficult to communicate with people."

Zu Tianyang clicked his tongue and said: "I said what's going on here with you, the man is either a fool or a sick man, or a gas tank that explodes at a touch."

Ji Yan sneered: "It's better than going to the cafeteria to catch mice in the middle of the night. By the way, it's been rumored in the group recently that your hawk is an owl's hawk, commonly known as a night owl. Night owls come to the house for nothing. Comments on you Very high."
