Chapter 163: Advance into the Lamb Village
The Kuncheng Public Security Action Investigation Team was quickly formed. Led by Xing Zhongxing, the team members Zhou Jing, Wang Weidong, Qin Yanjuan, and Wei Guoqing were riding in a police car and speeding on the road to Anzhen County.
The police car whizzed along, and the five people in the car had different expressions and discussed the mission with complicated emotions.
Zhou Jing frowned slightly, her face full of disbelief, and her voice was filled with surprise and confusion: "I can't believe that the criminals caught in the service area are actually honest people. Moreover, they are the people who are hungry and cold."
Wang Weidong was immediately filled with anger when he heard this, his eyes widened as he said, "It's all because of those corrupt officials who have forced them into a desperate situation. Even rabbits bite when they are angry!"
Wei Guoqing held the steering wheel steadily and drove the car with a focused look. He remained calm as always and said calmly, "We can't just listen to one side of the story. The situation here is still unclear. You know, the service area cannot be occupied casually. Ordinary people would not do such a thing without some brains."
Qin Yanjuan's clear and pleasant voice followed: "Aren't the people of Liangshan Marsh forced to come here? They are already in a state of hunger and cold, so what's so difficult about occupying a piece of land?"
Zhou Jing turned to look at Xing Zhongxing, who had remained silent, and asked, "Captain Xing, why don't you say anything?"
Xing Zhongxing sighed slightly, his eyes full of emotion: "I can't believe that with technology so advanced, there are still people living a nearly primitive life in remote places like Anzhen County. I can't imagine it!"
As they were talking, the police car left the highway and slowly drove into the rural dirt road. Every time the car drove past, a cloud of yellow soil would be raised behind it, as if a yellow dragon was rolling behind it, instantly submerging the entire car.
The people in the car were shaken by the bumpy road. Qin Yanjuan and Zhou Jing were pale and their stomachs were churning. They almost vomited. After an unknown amount of time, a cement road finally appeared in front of them.
This is a long street. The houses on both sides of the street are made of blue bricks and tiles. They are dilapidated, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.
There were also groups of elderly people sitting on the bluestones at the street corners, basking in the sun. There was a gurgling river on the side of the road, and not far away there was a soft bridge pulled up by wooden ropes.
After passing a few willow trees by the river, I could vaguely see the courtyard with some rings of years. Two stone lions stood majestically at the gate, deterring the evil.
The big words "Public Security Bureau" still stand tall on the top of the office floor, looking majestic and solemn.
Wei Guoqing parked the car steadily at the gate, and several people got out of the car and followed Captain Xing straight to the compound of Anzhen County Public Security Bureau.
When I entered, I saw Director Fu and two young comrades repairing the car. Xing Zhongxing said with a smile: "Director Fu, you are really down-to-earth. Do you do everything yourself?"
Director Fu held a wrench in his hand, rolled up his sleeves, looked at the newcomers and said with a smile: "Captain Xing, you are finally here. I was going to ask it to help, but it gave up."
Xing Zhongxing walked over to help check the fault and said, "I think it's time for this guy to retire!"
"I can't help it. We are far away from home. My parents can't see me and I don't have an uncle to love me!"
Then he ordered: "Wang Zhiming, get in the car, start the engine and give it a try."
"Yes, Director Fu." Wang Zhiming responded and got in the car.
The young man, wearing a blue Zhongshan suit that had been washed so many times that it was almost faded to gray-red, turned around quickly, opened the car door, got in, and started the engine after hearing Director Fu's instructions.
The car roared, then stalled, roared again, then stalled again. Xing Zhongxing moved a certain part of the engine, and it started up.
Director Fu said with a smile: "Oh, it's finally done. Old buddy, we still need your help this time. You can't embarrass us!" Haha...
Xing Zhongxing said with a smile: "Director Fu, you can't just make do with this. You must apply for it and report it. Otherwise, if you fail at the critical moment, it will cause us great trouble."
"Hey, it's hard to explain. Let's stop standing in the yard and come to the office to talk."
Then everyone walked into the office. It was a world of difference from Kuncheng. No wonder Director Fu looked dark-skinned and straight-backed when he first saw him. He was a typical rural laborer!
Then Director Fu called out, "Come on, Captain Xing, there's water in the basin over here, wash your hands."
After saying that, Xing Zhongxing walked into the back of the door. There was a basin stand with a basin of clean water in it. He hurriedly said, "Hey, Director Fu, you wash first, you wash first."
Director Fu said with a smile: "Don't be polite with me, whoever washes first will be the same."
Then the two of them started washing in the basin together. Xing Zhongxing looked at the spacious office where a few simple desks were lined up in a row.
There are some documents and files in a cabinet. This may be the way to describe a house with bare walls!
Director Fu took out some detergent and said, "Give me some detergent. It's all greasy and can't be washed without some."
Xing Zhongxing quickly responded with a smile: "Okay, okay, thank you."
Wang Zhiming is a man of few words but very efficient in his actions. He quickly picked up two kettles and a few cups, walked in briskly, and poured hot water for everyone in an orderly manner.
Xing Zhongxing looked at Wang Zhiming's actions with an appreciative smile on his face, and said with a smile: "This young man is very skillful!"
Director Fu nodded slightly, and then instructed Wang Zhiming: "Wang Zhiming, go and call our team members to the meeting."
Wang Zhiming immediately responded, "Yes, Director Fu."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the office quickly. Not long after, three young men of similar age walked in.
Director Fu pointed at them and introduced them: "These are Wang Zhiming, Li Chunsheng, Chen Dong, and Xiao Hai. I will lead the operation personally. Captain Xing, do you have any questions?"
Xing Zhongxing raised his hand and introduced everyone: "Qin Yanjuan, Wang Weidong, Wei Guoqing, and Zhou Jing, everyone, please meet them."
The four of them were all elite armed police officers. They politely saluted Director Fu and the others with a standard military salute.
Xing Zhongxing shook his head slightly and said, "There are no arrangements. We know nothing. We mainly go into the mountain first to see the specific situation inside, and then make arrangements later."
The deputy director nodded solemnly, then looked at Wang Zhiming and Xiao Hai and ordered seriously: "You two go prepare water and dry food. We know nothing about the situation over there, and it's still dozens of kilometers away by car. We must be prepared for any eventuality."
After the two groups of members quickly got ready, Wei Guoqing drove the car steadily, following closely behind Director Fu's car, and slowly drove towards the depths of the mountains with a bumpy ride.
Wei Guoqing stared at the car of Director Fu in front of him, which slowly stopped at the foot of the mountain. Seeing this, Wei Guoqing hurriedly stopped his own car.
Everyone got off the car, and Director Fu said sternly, "Everyone come here, distribute the food and water properly, we are about to start climbing the mountain into the village.
The mountains here are very high, the forests are very deep, and the sun sets early. I'm afraid we'll have to walk in the dark for a while."
Xing Zhongxing showed a trace of helplessness on his face and sighed, "Okay, everyone carry your own things and get ready to go."
Zhou Jing gently held Qin Yanjuan's hand and followed closely behind Wang Zhiming and Xiao Hai. In this way, a challenging operation into the village began.
Under the towering mountain, there is a winding path like a goat. When the sun is shining during the day, the road is relatively dry and it is relatively smooth to walk on.
However, once the sun sets, the path will quickly become dark and damp due to the extremely lush forests on the mountain.
For those who don't understand the geographical conditions here, they will suffer losses if they are not careful on this slippery road.
Qin Yanjuan and Zhou Jing followed Wang Zhiming carefully. Qin Yanjuan's foot suddenly slipped and she slid down the hillside in an instant.
At the critical moment, Wang Weidong grabbed Qin Yanjuan's backpack strap with his well-trained agility.
Zhou Jing was so frightened by this sudden scene that her body shook violently. Just as she was about to fall, Xiao Hai quickly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
And reminded: "Hey, comrade, be careful."
Zhou Jing finally steadied herself and said with gratitude, "Thank you, Comrade Xiao Hai."
Seeing this, Xing Zhongxing quickly pulled Qin Yanjuan up and reminded her, "The road is wet, everyone must be extremely careful and watch your step."
Wang Weidong asked with concern: "Qin Yanjuan, how are you? Can you still walk?"
Qin Yanjuan calmed herself down and said with a smile, "I'm fine. I was really scared just now. Let's keep going!"
Gradually, the night was like a thick curtain that blocked everyone's sight. Everyone took out their special searchlights. The bright beams of light seemed to transform everyone into a group of brave treasure hunters, slowly advancing towards the Lamb Village.
After several hours of hard climbing, everyone was sweating profusely. Director Fu looked at the tired people and said, "We are now at the mountainside. From here we will go downhill. Let's take a rest, drink some water, and eat something to replenish our energy so that we can better cope with the next journey."
After a few minutes, everyone simply ate some compressed biscuits and bread.
Director Fu smiled and encouraged, "Everyone, get moving! Once we get down the mountain, we will be in the village. We can stay at a fellow villager's house for a night."
At this time, the professional qualities of the armed police were highlighted. Zhou Jing, Qin Yanjuan, Wang Weidong and Wei Guoqing walked briskly and quickly explored the route ahead, turning back to look at Director Fu and his men from time to time.
Soon, we arrived at the village. In the dark village, messy and dilapidated houses came into view.
Some of the courtyard walls were made of stones, while others were fenced with fences, with each family living next to the other, crowded together. There was a relatively large courtyard at the entrance of the village, with a big black dog squatting at the door.
Hearing the footsteps of the crowd, the big black dog barked non-stop. At this time, a big man in his sixties, wearing a worn cotton jacket, slowly walked out of the door and shouted loudly: "Who is it?"
Director Fu shone a searchlight into the yard and responded, "Fellow villager, we are from the Anzhen County Public Security Bureau. We are here to learn more about the situation in the village. Is it convenient for us to stop by your house to rest?"
Seeing so many people, the fellow villager showed hesitation on his face and said hesitantly: "This, this..."
Director Fu smiled and said, "Fellow villager, who is responsible for reception in your village? Please show me the way!"
It was obvious at first glance that this fellow had never seen the world. After Director Fu said this, he obediently walked in front and led everyone to find the village headman.
