Because of Chen Linwen's interference, Shi Tianliang had no way to go up the mountain.
There was no way to even find a trusted person to go up the mountain and tell them.
Because Chen Linwen would always say harsh words like if you don't cooperate, he would report you to the higher level unit and make you unable to be the branch secretary.
Even if Shi Tianliang looked down on Chen Linwen, he was still a town policeman and they couldn't afford to offend him.
He could only feel angry and follow Chen Linwen with a gloomy face as he conducted some so-called investigation in the village.
Chen Linwen originally wanted to appease Shi Tianliang's anger, but he didn't expect that after visiting several women who made shoes in the wheat field at the end of the village, they told the truth.
It was said that a few days ago a female educated youth came to the village, but later she was heard missing, and the police even came to her door.
Chen Linwen was also quite smart. He thought about how Zhou Luancheng went to Nanshan to look for someone but failed to find him, so he asked about the situation in Shijia Village and Shi Tianliang's evasive attitude.
This old thing is not fun.
I also asked about the missing girl's name, how she disappeared, and whether she had been found.
The women were not afraid of Shi Tianliang and had a lot to say about Mu Xiaowan. They mentioned that she had been an educated youth here and also talked about a lot of random things.
Until almost evening, Chen Linwen showed no intention of leaving.
Shi Tianliang became even more anxious. Now Zhou Luancheng and Shi Daming might be on the mountain. He had to go and see if Mu Xiaowan was dead and whether the mine on the mountain was still intact.
The more anxious he was, the less anxious Chen Linwen became. He even started chatting with several of the sisters-in-law in a friendly manner.
Seeing that it was getting late, Shi Tianliang urged Chen Linwen: "Chen Gongan, if you want to investigate, come back tomorrow. It's too late today. I'll ask Tiejun to take you back."
Chen Linwen waved his hand: "If you have something to do, just go do it. I'll talk to a few sisters to see if I can find any clues. The missing educated youth is a big deal, and you didn't even report it."
Shi Tianliang didn't dare to leave. He was afraid that after he left, Chen Linwen would ask him some random questions.
He just stood there with a gloomy face and didn't leave. The more he did this, the more excited Chen Linwen became, and he had a great time chatting with the older sisters.
The older sisters are heartless, and the village party secretary always has a gloomy face for no reason, and they are used to it.
They were also very happy to tease the handsome young man.
Unexpectedly, Chen Linwen accidentally entangled with Shi Tianliang, which gave Zhou Shixun and Zhou Luancheng an opportunity.
When the sun was about to set, the forest was already pitch dark.
Zhou Shixun and Zhou Luancheng were preparing to set off. It was inconvenient to bring Shi Daman with them, so they asked Mu Xiaowan to look after him.
Afraid that Shi Daming might do something weird again when Mu Xiaowan was alone, Zhou Shixun tied his legs up again.
Shi Daman cried out in grievance: "Brother Zhou, you have to believe me, I have changed for the better, I will definitely not run around or tip off anyone."
Mu Xiaowan glared at him and said, "Shut up! If you dare to yell again, I'll block your mouth."
Then he said to Zhou Shixun, "Brother Zhou, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of him. If he dares to yell or scream, I will tear out his teeth."
Shi Daman didn't dare to say anything for a moment, feeling that this girl was a man of her words.
Zhou Shixun left the flashlight to Mu Xiaowan again: "There should be no wild animals in this area. There are people moving around at the foot of the mountain, and the wild animals are avoiding this area."
Although Zhou Luancheng agreed, he still gave the dagger he carried with him to Mu Xiaowan: "Keep it for self-defense. If you encounter danger, don't worry about his life or death."
Mu Xiaowan nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, if I really encounter danger, I will use him as a human shield and will not put myself in danger."
Only then did Zhou Luancheng walk down the mountain with Zhou Shixun.
They were very careful along the way. Fortunately, both of them had experience in jungle night combat, so walking on such a mountain road at night was not a problem.
Just be careful to avoid the minefield that Zhou Luancheng had drawn before.
When you are almost at the foot of the mountain, you can vaguely see scattered wind lanterns hanging on wooden stakes. In the gurgling stream, every few meters there is a man bending over to sift the sand, and then struggling to dig out gold from it.
There were three or four people on the shore walking back and forth with homemade rifles on their backs, observing the movements around them from time to time, and scolding the people working to hurry up.
Zhou Shixun and Zhou Luancheng had already had a clear division of labor on the mountain.
Zhou Shixun was responsible for finding the blasting point and destroying the fuse of the explosives, while Zhou Luancheng was responsible for keeping watch and observing the facial features of several people.
Both of them were veterans. They came without anyone noticing, completed their mission without anyone noticing, and then retreated back into the woods.
After making sure the surroundings were safe, Zhou Shixun shook his head: "I'm afraid that won't work. Shi Tianliang is a bit crazy. If all the explosives for blasting the mountain and opening the road are buried underground, and multiple blastings are used, then half of the mountain will be flattened."
Zhou Luancheng frowned: "What should we do? Even if we blow him up, he won't be convicted."
Zhou Shixun shook his head: "What are these explosives used for? They are used to blast the mountain to open a road. At that time, he said that it was the busy autumn harvest season and he couldn't take care of blasting the mountain to open a road and build a dam, so for safety reasons he placed the explosives in the mountain, but he didn't know who ignited them."
"Will anyone at that time say to dig up the mountain to find out what happened? No, because it's not worth it. After all, Shi Tianliang has always given people the impression of being simple and honest. Secondly, some of the relevant local leaders have also been fed up with him."
Zhou Luancheng nodded: "That's true, what should we do? How about we find a way to destroy all these explosives tonight."
Zhou Shixun was silent for a while: "This is the only way. We start separately, basically on both sides of the stream. For their own safety, it won't explode if they step on it."
The two brothers acted separately and then quietly blended into the dark night.
Mu Xiaowan was sitting in the cave. She had been living in fear for the past few days and had not gotten enough rest. Now that she met Zhou Luancheng, she felt relieved and sleepiness kept coming to her.
Sitting there yawning
Shi Daman was influenced by her and yawned non-stop. He also advised Mu Xiaowan: "Why don't you take a nap first, I'll sit here and keep watch for you."
Mu Xiaowan sneered: "I was sleeping and you were standing guard. Wasn't I waiting for you to break my head so you could run away?"
Shi Daman moved his hands and feet: "Auntie, look at me, I'm tied up here. Even if I want to run, do I have the ability? I don't know how Brother Zhou tied the rope, I can't untie it at all."
Mu Xiaowan gloated: "You deserve it!"
Shi Daman felt that time passed quickly while he was bickering with Mu Xiaowan: "Why did you come to Shijia Village for no reason? You had to cause trouble."
Mu Xiaowan snorted coldly: "If we hadn't come, how would we know that you are so powerful? Are you going to occupy the top of the mountain and become the king soon?"
