The road ahead is dead.
The car can only stop here and cannot continue to drive forward.
Yang Xiao pulled over the police car and got out of the car with Mao Anping.
The man scolding the villagers looked like a foreman. He was wearing a white vest and was all dark. He had a towel hanging on his shoulders. Even in this cool autumn, his whole body was still sweating.
He apologized to Tong Ran:
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
The people in the village did not work according to the rules, which was a hindrance to several police officers. "
Tong Ran waved her hands and said:
"It doesn't bother us!
Your safety awareness is also very poor.
It would be troublesome if something happened.
Uncle, is this the only way to Yuzui Village?
How far is it? "
"Are you going to Yuzui Village?"
The man pulled off the towel on his shoulder, wiped the sweat from his face, and said embarrassedly:
“Officer, don’t call me uncle.
I'm only a few years older than you.
I am the village chief of Yuzui Village, and my name is Wang Ruiyun.
What do these police officers do in Yuzui Village? "
Wang Ruiyun is indeed young.
He was just wearing a shabby vest, his face was covered with mud soaked in sweat, and his age couldn't be discerned at first glance.
Now I wipe my face clean, and I look like I'm in my thirties.
Tong Ran was rash and stuck out her tongue.
Yang Xiao stepped forward and said:
"Village Chief Wang, let's come to the village to understand the situation."
"Okay, just wait for me."
Wang Ruiyun ran to the side of the road, moved a few big rocks, placed them behind the construction section, alerted oncoming cars, and walked to the village with Yang Xiao and others.
Wang Ruiyun pointed at the bumpy road and said:
“The county spent money to build this road.
But only a few years after it was repaired, it was crushed by a heavy truck.
Our village organizes labor to repair the road every year.
Otherwise, it will be impossible to walk on this road when it rains. "
Yang Xiao followed Wang Ruiyun and asked:
"Village Chief Wang, are you a local of Yuzui Village?
How many years have you been the village chief? "
"He's a local." Wang Ruiyun said without looking back:
“This is my second year as village chief.
When I returned home from the army two years ago, I saw that the villagers were living in poverty, so I wanted to do something with them.
Officer, don't look at the remoteness of our Yuzui Village. The various medicinal materials produced in the mountains are good things.
As long as the roads are repaired, there will be no worries about sales. "
Wang Ruiyun is a very talkative person.
He also has a military temperament about him.
He walked with a long stride.
Fortunately, Yang Xiao and Mao Anping were both big men, and Tong Ran had to trot to keep up with him.
Yang Xiao asked:
"Two years!
Then do you know that six years ago, a cadre in the town fell under the cliff? "
"I know, it's right in front!" Wang Ruiyun led Yang Xiao and others to a cliff and said:
“Everyone in our village knows this.
At that time, the roads into the village had not yet been built and were all dirt roads.
It's okay if it doesn't rain. When it rains, the roads are all muddy. Even motorcycles can't enter the village, so they can only walk.
I was a soldier in the army at that time, and I heard from the villagers that the cadres in the town fell from here.
It seemed that the person was not dead. He lay down there for two days and was rescued. "
Yang Xiao stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down.
Unlike Yang Xiao's imagination, this cliff was not steep, but there were rocks underneath. Cheng Liyan was destined to survive a fall from here.
The parking place was only two or three kilometers away from Yuzui Village. Several people quickly followed Wang Ruiyun to the village committee.
Wang Ruiyun tidied up and came to Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao explained his intention to Wang Ruiyun.
"Ouch!" Wang Ruiyun became cautious and said:
“I heard about what happened six years ago, but I really don’t know what happened.
Wait a minute, I'll call the village cadres and the old village chief. They may know something. "
Communication in the village relies entirely on roaring.
Wang Ruiyun got into the broadcasting room and turned on the loudspeaker to announce the meeting. One after another, people gathered at the village committee.
Tong Ran is from the city.
This was her first time on a mission in the village, and she was very curious about this method of communication. She ran under the telephone pole at the entrance of the village committee and looked at the big speaker hanging on it.
In less than half an hour, the village committee was filled with more than a dozen people, all of whom were older than Wang Ruiyun.
In this era, there are indeed not many young people willing to stay in rural areas to work.
People in the room heard that Yang Xiao and others were investigating the case of officials from the Judicial Office falling off a cliff, and they talked about the situation at that time.
But what everyone said is similar to the previous survey.
No one can say exactly what happened.
It wasn't until the town called to inquire that he was missing.
The old village chief reported to the town that Cheng Liyan had called the village to inform him that he was coming to the village.
But no one came at all!
Naturally, no one knew why Cheng Liyan came to Yuzui Village.
Yang Xiao took out the letter found from the Justice Bureau, handed it to the old village chief, and said:
"Old village chief, look at this letter. Is it sent from you?"
The old village chief opened the letter and squinted at it.
Everyone around him gathered around.
Someone saw the letter and said firmly:
"That's right! This is the stationery of our village committee.
However, judging from the style, it was used for several years, and such letter paper no longer exists.
I don’t know if it was sent by our village. "
"This..." The old village chief's eyes were presbyopic. He held the letter far away, squinted and looked at it for a long time, and said uncertainly:
"This is not about Crazy Liu, is it?"
"Crazy Liu!"
The old village chief's words caught Yang Xiao's attention and asked:
"Old village chief, what's going on with Crazy Liu?"
The old village chief stood up and said to Yang Xiao:
"Hey, come with me!"
The old village chief and Wang Ruiyun took Yang Xiao and the others out of the village committee and climbed up a hillside, where there was a wooden house and a new tomb.
Mao Anping muttered dissatisfiedly:
"Village Chief Wang, what on earth is going on? You are just teasing us!"
Wang Ruiyun pointed to the new tomb and explained:
"The person lying here is Crazy Liu, who died in the first half of this year!"
People are dead!
Tong Ran and Mao Anping showed disappointed expressions.
They searched all the way from Rongcheng to Yuzui Village, and found a dead person!
How to check now?
The matter of Cheng Liyan falling off the cliff may become a dead end case and can only be left alone.
Yang Xiao walked into the wooden house.
Because no one had lived there for a long time, the roof leaked in several places and there was a sense of moisture in the house.
The walls of the wooden house are covered with black writing.
Yang Xiao stretched out his hand and touched it, and his fingers turned black. These words were written in pot ashes and had been soaked with moisture.
There are poems and songs, calculation formulas, and historical calendars.
The content is very cluttered.
However, those words were written vigorously and powerfully, even with beautiful strokes.
Yang Xiao pointed to the words on the wall and said to Tong Ran and Mao Anping:
"Do you see anything?"
Tong Ran sighed:
"This lunatic is quite educated!
Yang Da, what are you writing about? "
Yang Xiao took out the flashlight he carried with him, illuminated the dim wooden house, and said:
"If I guessed correctly, there should be several test papers written on the wall!
Chinese, mathematics, politics, and history! "
