Chapter 64: The Hermit and the Children of Huang Village
While Li Guolou was eating breakfast, he observed the expressions of Huang Kaohao and his family. There was no flaw in their composure. Jin Erzi didn't even raise his head, he lowered his head and drank porridge with a smile.
Huang Yuezhi was busy working in the kitchen. When Jin Erzi finished a bowl of porridge, Huang Yuezhi happened to come out. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and asked, "Jin Captou, do you want another bowl?"
Jin Erzi chuckled and said: "Well, the air here is good and people are energetic. It's easy to get hungry. Huang Yuezhi, please have another bowl."
Everyone in the room understood the code words spoken by Jin Erzi and Huang Yuezhi. Huang Kaohao turned his head to prevent Li Guolou from seeing his expression.
Huang Yishi looked at Huang Yuezhi with a smile. She couldn't do anything out of line. Who said she was a big wife? Only the younger wives were allowed to do such sloppy things. If the older wives did it, it would become a family scandal.
It seems that they are going to have another fight tonight. Li Guolou thought to himself: How about not staying here tonight? The village hall is also quite nice, spacious and bright, and there is a caretaker there. He also wants to give Huang Kao a good face.
Or would Huang Kaojiao strongly hope that Jin Erzi would stay one more night? Li Guolou made up his mind and drove straight to the bridge. Now it was time to run errands and not think about such dirty things.
Li Guolou took out his pocket watch and checked the time. It was just less than half past six, but he could no longer sit still. Li Guolou was carrying a Western briefcase on his back and put the map of Huangcun in it, but the household registration booklet was not there.
It was too thick, and Li Guolou could only hold it in his hand.
Li Guolou said to Jin Erzi: "Jin Baotou, you wait here for Huang Baozheng. I'll go out and take a look alone. You guys wait for me at Huang Tian's house."
"Ah!" Jin Erzi didn't believe that Li Guolou was so serious about his work and said casually: "Vice Captain Li, where are you going?"
Li Guolou replied: "I just wanted to take a look at the environment in Huangcun. Well...wait for me at Huangtian's house at ten o'clock." After saying that, Li Guolou walked out of the dining room and went into the village alone.
Huang Kaohao looked at Li Guolou's back and said, "Jin Captou, your commander is very powerful. What he says is persuasive, but what he does is very strange."
Jin Erzi curled his lips and sneered: "Huang Muramasa, you haven't seen him show off his power yet. The big guys in our yamen all admire him, but he is not a normal person, and we have never seen what he did."
Jin Erzi was afraid of being looked down upon by Huang Kaohao's family, so he also stood up and said: "Huang Cunzheng, please ask Huang Baozheng to go to Huang Tian's house at ten o'clock on time. I will also go to handle the case. I want all the neighbors near Huang Tian's house."
One question."
Jin Erzi did not dare to be lazy and left the dining room quickly. His movements were vigorous and diligent, and he could not tell the hard work of fighting at night. His steps were solid and powerful.
Jin Erzi's actions made Huang Kaohao think highly of them. He thought that both agents were outstanding, and said meaningfully: "Huang Yuezhi, you have to work hard."
Jin Erzi didn't hear Huang Yuezhi's answer. He had already stepped out of the yard, but a bad smile appeared on his face. The proud stroke of life was accomplished in one stroke, and it felt like a dream. He leaned against Li Guo Tower
The fighting spirit was rekindled in his body, and he had the same drive as when he first came to the Yamen. He also wanted to solve the case. Maybe good luck would come to him. Jin Erzi had never worked so seriously and worked hard in a decent way.
Talk to the villagers verbally.
From the beginning to the end, Li Guolou did not go to the east end of the village, which is where the villagers are densely populated. Instead, he went to the west of the village to check the terrain. He did not chat with anyone, but looked at the map as he walked. He ran to the door to ask about some farmhouses he passed.
I checked whose house it was. Then I wrote it down in a book and wrote down the name of the head of the household.
There were dogs kept in some farmhouses. When they saw Li Guolou approaching, they barked desperately and threw themselves on the fence, trying to bite Li Guolou to death.
Li Guolou was unmoved. He was not afraid of the dog, and he was not afraid of it. He would kill the dog with just one kick. However, when he saw feces all over the farmhouse, he was frightened and did not step into the yard.
, then left the dirty farmhouse, there
In addition to chickens and ducks, some farmers also have cattle and sheep in their yards, and even pigs are also scratching in the yards. However, Li Guolou wrote down what these people raised in their yards in a notebook, and marked it clearly on the map, making secret notes.
, so go back and check.
Li Guolou suddenly remembered that this map was not his, but the property of Baozheng Huang Bing. Maybe there was only a map as big as this one in the village, and he had made it like this. How could Li Guolou return it to Huang Bing?
A wry smile appeared on his face, and now he had to give gifts to Huang Bing again. He could get benefits by going out to the city to handle cases, but he paid for it himself, thinking to himself, in the future he would still have to handle more lucrative cases, such cases that cost money.
It’s better to touch less.
Some villagers can communicate with each other, but some villagers don't want to pay attention to Li Guolou when they hear that he is a policeman.
Li Guolou asked the owner to open the door by threatening to set fire to him if he didn't open the door. Li Guolou didn't give the owner a good look. He was so cruel that he wanted to treat the owner to jail food. He was so scared that the whole family was tortured.
Li Guolou knelt down and found out that the owner's family were all living in seclusion.
Li Guolou looked down at the map, and almost vomited blood when he saw it. It turned out that this farmhouse was not on the map. He was angry at the fact that Murun Zheng Huang had failed in the exam, and Baozheng Huang Bing had colluded with each other. The fraud was done flawlessly. If he hadn't taken the
How could this loophole be discovered in Huangcun’s map and household registration booklet?
Fortunately, Li Guolou did not go to the east end of the village, otherwise he would not be able to see all of the more than 200 households in one day. Li Guolou has discovered that the rich families in Huangcun all live in the east of the village, and the poorer families are all there.
To the west of the village, the families living further west are getting poorer, and the farmhouses are in dilapidated condition. Some of the dilapidated farmhouses are no longer inhabited. It is feared that the owner's family will not be able to live here anymore and will leave Huangcun.
More and more people were following Li Guolou. Li Guolou waved them away, but it was of no use. Could it be that he was a monkey? The thirty or so children were laughing and joking and were no longer afraid of Li Guolou. Finally, they met five people from Huangcun on the road.
Members of the vigilante group, Li Guolou met the savior. Only five members of the vigilante group came forward and the group of children dispersed.
Because of the hidden house, Li Guolou's workload increased a lot. He couldn't let go of every building. Even if it was a pig pen or a cowshed, Li Guolou had to check it out. There was a real cowshed in it.
There was a large family living in a hermitage house, including eight men, women and children, old and weak. The hermitage family wanted to deceive him and gave him the name of another family.
Who would have thought that Li Guolou had already written down the family's situation and exposed the lies of the hermit family on the spot. Immediately at Li Guolou's feet, eight hermits knelt down, and the whole family cried loudly, begging the official to spare their lives.
It's a family. The man who told the lie was the male owner. He was already slapping himself in the mouth, using his bow left and right to hit him with all his strength.
Seeing the situation, Li Guolou was helpless and hurriedly spent money to ward off the disaster. He took out a piece of silver and said, "Oh, I am also a common man. You don't have to be afraid. I will reward you."
Another cry of "Master Qingtian!" made Li Guolou completely speechless. He turned around and left the bullpen, unwilling to listen to such nonsense.
Rich people are popular, and there are children behind them who want to ask for rewards, shouting: "Master, please give me another piece of silver. We are two families here. You give it to the Ke family, but you can't justify not giving it to my family."
."
Li Guolou said suspiciously: "Child, you are lying. Why do you say we are two families when we are obviously one family?"
The child said cheerfully: "Master, we are two families formed together, and you have a very good vision."
Li Guolou smiled bitterly and said: "Little brat, there is only a couple of adult men and women, and I still can't tell. Aren't you a fool?" After that, Li Guolou took out a piece of broken silver and gave it to the child.
Watching the child bow and leave, Li Guolou already had some ideas in his mind, but he still wanted to look at all the remaining families and not miss a single suspect. Tomorrow he would try his luck. What will happen to Li Guolou?
Putting my hands together, I begged the Buddha for the first time to let him become a divine fortune teller. I would definitely give incense money to the temple when I go back. In my heart
There are benefits to having faith, and he also paid tribute to the Catholic Church. Li Guolou pleaded with both Eastern and Western sects. When he arrived in Huangcun, Li Guolou was desperate. There were no witnesses, no clues, and he could not see people alive or dead. Then
He only had one bet, and it only depended on luck. Since Jin Erzi was lucky, he would have good luck.
Li Guolou walked towards Huang Tian's house. In the distance, Huang Tian was already waiting for him at the intersection.
Seeing Huang Tian's sad look, Li Guolou hurriedly stepped forward and comforted: "Huang Tian, don't worry, I will definitely find Yin Yin alive for you. If I can't find it, I will hire you."
Work. Okay?"
Li Guolou was afraid that Huang Tian would commit suicide, and he did not want Huang Tian to stay alone in Huang Village, crying every day.
It takes a lot of courage to commit suicide. Of course, Huang Tian had thought about committing suicide. She sold her land and no longer had any nostalgia for the world. But Li Guolou gave her some hope, and Huang Tian nodded with a grateful look.
Although there is little hope, Li Guolou still feels that he has saved a living person. Li Guolou lowered his head and said nothing. Is he a good person or a bad person? He wants to save people here, but he wants to kill people there. His contradictory personality makes him
Looking left and right, where the smoke was rising in the distance, there was a farmhouse cooking at noon, which was rare in the countryside. That was where he was most suspicious. Tomorrow he would have to compete with that family first.
Li Guolou turned to another direction. That family member was also quite suspicious. They sent a child to keep an eye on him until now. All the other children had left. Only this child had been with him until now. Li Guolou had another target of suspicion.
I mentally estimated that there were more than twenty suspects in one morning. If we add more
Among the families we checked in the afternoon, it seems that there are at least forty families in Huangcun. These are the families in the west of the village. If you have time, you will also check the farmhouses in the east of the village. It seems that there are too many suspects if you continue to check. Li Guolou is scratching his head.
, it seems that we need to reorganize our thinking and eliminate some more suspects.
Huang Bing got impatient with waiting. When he saw Li Guolou coming, he rushed out of Huang Tian's house and said fiercely: "Chief Li, don't give me face! Why are you harassing others? Which village doesn't have this kind of thing? Your Majesty.
There is a person like this in your house, do you want to go against the rich people in the world?"
Li Guolou quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, Huang Baozheng, I will definitely give you face, but there is no favor before the law. If that kind of person is a human trafficker, of course I will arrest him."
Huang Bing sneered and said: "They can't even speak well. I don't know any of them. How can they be human traffickers? It's good to have food here and a roof to cover your body. Don't mess around. I'll give it to you."
List of suspects, these are the only people in the village who are not good people."
Li Guolou laughed and said: "Huang Baozheng is still a good friend. Don't forget to give it to me tonight. Remember not to drink anymore tonight. I want to go to bed early."
Huang Bing said what he meant and said, "Okay! Listen to Chief Li."
Huang Bing swallowed the second half of the sentence, "I still want to listen to Huang Muramasa!" This sentence cannot be said in front of Tian. Muramasa Huang Kao had given him a task long ago to remove Li Guolou.
Jin Erzi and the two living adults were all brought back to the big house that Muramasa and Huang had passed the test. They were absolutely not allowed to sleep in the village office at night. There was also a banquet tonight for the two distinguished guests and the famous people in Huangcun.
