"The criminal investigation experts from the province will arrive this afternoon. You are required to cooperate with them and provide them with all the necessary conditions to solve the case as soon as possible and give an explanation to the 11 dead people, the city, and the province. Do you understand?" Guo Zhenghe said with a gloomy face.
"Yes, sir!" The director of the Public Security Bureau saluted.
"Well, go back and make preparations as soon as possible."
The director of the Public Security Bureau kept wiping his sweat after coming out of the office. Just now, in the office, the county party secretary and the county magistrate, who was only 30 years old, gave him a lot of pressure. The key was that this case was really tricky. In fact, in less than three days, 11 people in a village had died. This was a top priority matter in any place. He had to find the reason in the shortest time possible and give a reasonable explanation.
Sigh … The director sighed.
This is too much pressure!
In the office, Guo Zhenghe lit a cigarette and leaned on the chair, staring at the ceiling.
This time, he was also very passive. Although some things were easier to deal with because of his family's relationship, it also depended on the situation. This time, the matter was too big. The higher-ups had already helped him a lot because of his family's relationship. Moreover, their attitude was still gentle. If it were other people, they would definitely be criticized. Moreover, it would have a great impact on their future political career.
What was going on?
A very clear and crisp sound came from behind.
Hmm?
He turned around. Beside him was a bright glass.
What's that sound?
He got up and walked to the window. He looked outside. This was the county party committee's courtyard. It was a bit old. There was a road outside, and there were not many cars.
There was nothing unusual.
Did I hear it wrong?
Guo Zhenghe looked outside for a while, but he did not find anything. However, he clearly heard the sound coming from this direction.
He turned and went back to the desk where he worked.
What is this?
He was stunned.
There was a document bag on the desk. There was no mark on it. He clearly remembered that there was nothing on his desk before he got up. No one came in just now because this was his office. He was currently the highest leader in the county. People from outside must knock on the door to enter the office. They must get his permission before entering.
"Little Song!"
He shouted outside, and a man immediately came in. His actual age was probably even older than Guo Zhenghe.
"Secretary Guo, you called for me?"
"Did someone just come in?"
"Yes, other than Director Liu of the Public Security Bureau, no one else has come in."
"Alright, I got it. You can leave now." Guo Zhenghe waved his hand.
The secretary pushed the door open and left.
Guo Zhenghe looked at the folder in the middle of his desk. It was a very ordinary folder. There was no sign on it. It just sat there quietly. He stared at the folder for a while, then reached out to touch it. It was a paper object.
He gently opened the folder. There was a stack of information inside. Once he opened it, his eyes shone brightly. Then, he carefully read through it.
Interesting, very interesting!
Guo Zhenghe's expression became more and more interesting because the document provided him with a very interesting piece of information that he had never come across before.
He read through the information three times.
Knock, knock, knock. There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
"Secretary Guo, there is a Battalion Commander Guo outside looking for you," the secretary said.
"Battalion Commander Guo?" Guo Zhenghe was stunned when he heard that. He carefully put away the documents before asking his secretary to invite the man in.
"Secretary Guo, are you busy?" A man in a military uniform came in from outside. He had a square face and looked extraordinary.
"Second Brother, why are you here?" After seeing the man, Guo Zhenghe hurriedly stood up.
"Quick, please sit down."
"Why do you have time to come here?"
The secretary next to him poured a glass of water for the guest and tactfully went outside.
"I have business here, so I came to see you. How are you?"
"Not bad," Guo Zhenghe said with a smile.
"Well, you look more capable than before. You are a county party secretary at such a young age. You are the best among us."
"Please don't say that," Guo Zhenghe hurriedly said.
"We are all family. You don't have to be modest with me," the lieutenant colonel said with a smile.
"I'm worried about that right now."
"I heard about it when I came here. How is it? Do you have any clues?" the officer asked seriously.
"No." Guo Zhenghe shook his head.
"So many people died at once. It is not a small matter. Second Uncle didn't say anything?"
"He didn't say anything. He just called to ask. He asked me to investigate carefully and report truthfully. The criminal investigation experts in the province came back today. I hope they can solve the mystery, "Guo Zhenghe said.
"Well, you don't have to worry too much."
"That is true, but after all, there is a problem in the place under my jurisdiction. I have to investigate clearly and give the people an explanation," Guo Zhenghe said.
"It is called having this idea. Sitting in this position and wearing this hat, you have to have this idea. You have to think about the people and the facts in your heart."
"Well, let's not talk about these things. Second Brother, you came all the way here. Have lunch with me at noon. It is my treat."
"Okay, it is settled."
After chatting for a while, the two brothers saw that it was time to eat, so they went out to eat together.
"Second Brother, let me ask you something. In southern Yunnan, there is a lot of voodoo. Have you heard about this?"
"I have heard about it, but I have not seen it with my own eyes. Why do you ask about it? Do you suspect those people?"
"No, I just happened to hear about it. The forensic doctors have examined the 11 people. They did not find any problems for the time being. This is the strange part. 11 people died in three days, and they were all from the same village. There can't be such a coincidence in the world, right?"
"I just heard about it. The specific situation is naturally not as good as what you know. Well, let me think about it." The lieutenant colonel pondered for a moment.
"There is a person in the family who may be able to help you."
"Who?"
"Xu Xinyuan."
"Him?" Hearing the name, Guo Zhenghe frowned slightly.
"I heard that this person is a bit paranoid."
"He is indeed stubborn, but he is loyal and devoted to the Guo family. However, because of his personality, he is not very well liked. However, this person is really capable. Moreover, he is fine now. If you want, you can ask him to come over and help you."
"Let me think about it."
"OK."
In the mountain village thousands of miles away …
Wang Yao, Zhong Liuchuan, Pan Jun, Jia Zizai, and Hu Mei drove to Lijiagou to soak in the hot spring.
Originally, Wang Yao had made an appointment with Zhong Liuchuan and Pan Jun. Because of the delay, it was delayed by a day. However, he happened to meet Jia Zizai and Hu Mei, so the two of them came along.
Li Jia Gou was located in the west of Wang Yao's mountain village. It was between two rows of mountains. Originally, Li Jia Gou was a more remote and poor village than Wang Yao's village. However, because of the hot spring, Li Jia Gou attracted a sum of money for development. The situation immediately changed.
At the Xingshan Hot Spring Resort …
The name came from the mountain. The construction was not bad, but at this time, it was deserted. There were only a few people.
