Chapter 931: Survivors

Pa!

The bright little flame licked upward, stretching its waist and chest, overflowing with thick heat from the center of the stone roller, warming the police sitting in a circle.

An old policeman inserted a thick, long iron skewer with thick beef into the gap drilled in the stone roller. The beef trembled twice, and then was licked by the flame obediently.

By the railing tens of meters away, more than a dozen criminal suspects were handcuffed into a string, greedily sniffing the fragrance below, their stomachs growling, and someone boldly said: "Killing people is nothing more than a nod of the head. If you want to shoot, give us a full meal."

"Didn't you just eat the covered rice?" The criminal police officer on duty didn't carry a gun, just a stun baton, staring at these suspects with sharp eyes.

The police's transport capacity is limited. Hundreds of people in the village, one by one, all have to be handcuffed and sent back. The transport of ordinary police cars requires too many escort police officers. The military vehicles of the Armed Police or command vehicles like Mengshi are also reluctant to give these mushroom people to sit, so they can only specially mobilize prison vehicles, buses, etc. The road here is not easy to walk, so many suspects were stranded.

However, the police investigation itself also needs to interrogate some suspects. Except for the slightly heavier task of guarding, the others are not troublesome.

Of course, the suspects will always feel uncomfortable.

Someone took the lead, and the handcuffed suspects started to make trouble, saying: "The covered rice is too little, there is no meat inside, we also want to eat barbecue!"

"Barbecue?" The civil police officer on duty really wanted to say that you probably only have one chance to eat barbecue in your life. However, they were still in the wild, and stimulating suspects is usually a prohibited item. There was no need to anger these desperate people, or let them feel deeper despair. The civil police officer on duty thought for a while, held the stun baton with his hand, and said: "You guys don't shout, you keep quiet, I'll help you ask, okay?"

The clamoring criminal suspects were originally prepared to be beaten, but hearing the civil police officer on duty say such a human word, they were stunned for a while.

The civil police officer on duty pressed the switch of the walkie-talkie on the spot and adjusted the channel: "Captain, Captain, I am Li Gu, the prisoner wants to eat barbecue, should I get them some? Over."

"I don't even have barbecue to eat! That's for Team Leader Jiang and the others to roast, the one roasting the meat is a first-class police inspector. Over!"

"I am Li Gu, that... find two third-class police inspectors to roast some meat. The rest are young people, they will eat prison food when they go back, I don't know how long it will be before they eat barbecue next time. Over."

"Understood. You kid are looking for trouble for me. Over."

The walkie-talkie of the civil police officer on duty was public, and the mushroom people who were guarded heard the conversation between the two. For a while, their emotions were low.

The suspect who started the trouble just now also felt it was boring and said: "Barbecue is nothing to eat, don't bother to fix it for us."

"If there is, there is; if not, forget it." The civil police officer on duty didn't say much. For these suspects, he couldn't say it was sympathy, it could only be said to be equal treatment. And for people nowadays, asking to eat some meat really can't be considered an excessive request.

For a while, the mushroom people who were guarded had no desire to speak.

"Fuck!" Someone shouted, as if wanting to vent.

The people around him were too lazy to echo him.

"If only I could smoke one more. I wouldn't think about these things." The person at the end of the team muttered to himself.

After a while.

Meng Chengbiao brought the barbecue, smiled, and distributed it to everyone.

Some took it and ate it, and some didn't want to eat and refused.

Meng Chengbiao didn't care. Some thin people really don't like food. In addition, drug use is also easy to reduce appetite. Many drug addicts have no appetite to the end, and all desires are gone, just wanting to take drugs. Many religions have experience in using drugs to engage in things. The development history of marijuana can be said to be a history of religious soul-taking drugs.

"Many thanks." Someone ate the barbecue, as if suddenly awakening a little bit of morality and nature.

"You're welcome. If you like it, I'll have someone send more." Meng Chengbiao silently recorded the other party's number. The interrogation work this time was very heavy and important. If there could be a few more breakthroughs, it would be even better.

Jiang Yuan ate several skewers of barbecue, followed the evening convoy, and returned to Changle City.

There was still a lot of work in Qishan Village. Just the excavation and sorting of evidence would take one or two months, and the input of dozens of people would not be completed. But these were things that Jiang Yuan didn't need to invest in continuously.

Or rather, the Changle City Bureau couldn't bear to invest the Jiang Yuan obtained at a high price into such trivial work. They couldn't afford to be extravagant.

Jiang Yuan didn't need to worry about so much. Returning to the reception center of the Changle City Bureau, Jiang Yuan fell asleep, and when he woke up the next day, he found that it was still a suite.

Got up to look at WeChat, tidied up, and hurried downstairs.

Detachment leader Lang Heng and others of the criminal police detachment were in the restaurant, drinking tea, chatting, and waiting for Jiang Yuan.

"Political Commissar, Detachment Leader Lang..." Jiang Yuan didn't have much emotional intelligence in the morning: "Are there any more cases? There are quite a few cases in Changle City."

Lang Heng laughed: "Team Leader Jiang has a bit of humor. However, the problem of Qishan Village is indeed something we didn't expect. Thank you, Team Leader Jiang, for uncovering this lid for us. Next, our city and county levels will have big moves."

"What big moves?" Jiang Yuan was really curious. The problems reflected by Qishan Village really couldn't be solved by going out a few times.

As long as the reputation of the mushrooms here is spread, there will always be people coming to try it. And to say eradication, walking through the mountains and forests without omissions would not be so simple.

Lang Heng laughed twice and said: "In this regard, we actually have experience, and there is also experience left by our predecessors."

"Oh? Is it something that can be said?"

"It's no problem to say it. To put it bluntly, it's actually not worth money." Lang Heng paused, and after receiving enough of Jiang Yuan's attention, he said: "The plan is to build roads. We will build roads in these remote townships this year, especially some natural villages that are far from administrative villages. All must be built with asphalt roads."

Jiang Yuan was surprised: "What is the reason for this?"

"The average monthly income of people planting these hallucinogenic mushrooms is probably three or four thousand yuan." Lang Heng looked at Huang Qiangmin next to him and added: "After the road is built, the traffic problem in the mountains is solved, and there are many things that can be planted. What is valuable in the mountains is not just mushrooms."

Jiang Yuan nodded, half-understanding.

Lang Heng coughed twice: "We can't catch all the people."

This is the part of social governance. Huang Qiangmin asked with interest: "Does the police station have to pay for the road construction?"

"No, before the road is built, our task is heavier." Lang Heng said, grabbing Huang Qiangmin's hand, and said seriously: "So we need the help of brother units even more."

Huang Qiangmin forcefully pulled his hand out of Lang Heng's magic claws and said: "Talk about the case, otherwise, we will charge consultation fees in the future."

"Already have." Lang Heng said calmly.

"Eh, already have consultation fees?" Huang Qiangmin's tone changed: "I'll see what name to change later."

Lang Heng laughed, knowing that although Huang Qiangmin's mouth was heavy, he was actually reasonable. Otherwise, he would have taken Jiang Yuan to Beijing long ago, and there was no need to stay in Shannan Province for a long time.

The thought turned, Lang Heng turned to let someone hand Jiang Yuan a PAD, and said: "Case 430, we actually restarted it once, it's an old case from 10 years ago. The deceased were a mother and daughter, who died at home. The forensic doctor determined the cause of death was strangulation. There were no signs of rape. Valuable items in the house were stolen, and the door lock had signs of damage. The more special place is that there was another victim at the scene, an 8-year-old boy, who was hidden in the wardrobe by his mother at the time and survived."

Jiang Yuan listened while scanning the scene photos in the PAD, frowning: "That is to say, the survivor is 18 years old?"

"Yes, the child from back then is now an adult. Coming to the door, I feel guilty in my heart." Lang Heng said while drinking tea, shook his head, and continued: "The initial suspect of this case was actually the husband of the victim. This person had a history of domestic violence, and his alibi on the day of the case was not very complete. However, the traces left at the scene did not support this judgment. In addition, the testimony of the survivor... indicates that there were two perpetrators..."
