Chapter 73 Chapter 73 There are many coal mines in Yancheng, and private coal mines are really...
Hongguo heard from Director Wei that in the past two years, collective and individual coal mining was encouraged, and private coal mines sprang up like mushrooms after rain. An accident occurred in a private coal mine in Yancheng, and a local policeman who was investigating the case died. The coal boss refused to compensate, and several families of the victims died before they even left Yancheng.
A reporter risked his life to come in and report, and never returned. Wei Liangzheng intuitively felt that this was not a simple criminal gang, so he sent people to investigate, but encountered various obstacles. The local direct leader in charge of the coal industry actually hanged himself at home.
Whatever clues we found were cut off by the related dead persons, so we couldn't go on, so we asked Gu Changzong and Hong Guo to give it a try.
Yancheng is rich in coal mines. Huge profits breed huge evils. It is not easy to eradicate these crimes in the darkness. Now everyone is killed if they are investigated. Even the people sent by Director Wei have no idea where to start.
Hongguo and Changzong asked around near the coal mine and indeed found out a lot of information.
The old man from the coal mine where the accident occurred continued to eat, drink and fight for territory after the accident, as if nothing had happened. He was so arrogant. He was so fierce before, and after he got a new wife, his wife was even more fierce than him. The private coal mines that they took a fancy to had to hand over half of them in order to ensure safety.
Hongguo was shocked when she heard this. It was the first time that a fellow villager from Changzong acted so unscrupulously. This capable couple acted like local tyrants in this small piece of land.
Hongguo can only know some things by touching things, and Changzong is good at fighting and killing, but he is not good at investigating cases. Will it really be useful for the two of them to come?
Hongguo realized that her inquiries were not comprehensive enough, so she called her comrades here. Soon, someone came to pick her and Changzong up and took them to the Yancheng Public Security Bureau.
After coming in, Hongguo found that several people were looking at her. Hongguo was very puzzled. Why were they looking at her like that?
The comrade who led the way explained, "We are here as a special investigation team. You are a forensic doctor. You may look too fragile. I don't believe you can do an autopsy. Don't worry, we will go to the autopsy room later. It's just a formality. There are professional forensic doctors. Now the investigation is clear. Your four fellow villagers are all under the coal mine boss. Let's go and take a look at the body of the deceased first."
The agreed time was two hours ago. Another comrade was getting impatient waiting, and said with a slight disgust: "They are not professional. Why are they looking at the body? It must be one of the four outsiders who is causing trouble. We should just arrange for the armed police to rush in and wipe them out once and for all."
The two people Director Wei arranged this time were the two who shot at Yushan in the hospital last time.
The serious and rude man is called Dong Liang, who was introduced by Xu Wenying. Three generations of his family are hunters. Although they are not born as professionals, they are extremely talented marksmen.
The man who led the way was called Yao Wangping, who had retreated from the battlefield and had been following Wei Liangzheng. Hongguo remembered it very clearly that he also fired two shots that day but did not hit anyone.
Yao Wangping said to his companions: "Dong Liang, we should not fight among ourselves. Only unity can accomplish great things."
Dong Liang was still hostile: "My grandfather used to take me hunting. Wolves were wolves and we had to be vigilant. Rabbits were rabbits and we had to kill them when we saw them. We didn't have the same worldview, so how could they be considered our own people?"
Hong Guo was not convinced by this statement: "So what if the evildoer is from Changzong's hometown? Changzong is helping us. Why are you like Xu Wenying, killing our allies? What if another group comes next time?"
"Of course we will do it. No matter how strong a person is, he will not survive in a hail of bullets."
Even threatening, Hong Guo had no good words: "Didn't you hurt Xu Wenying yourself? If you really feel guilty, then die to atone for your sin, and don't take your anger out on others."
Now no one continued to argue. Hong Guo asked Yao Wangping, who had only given one word of advice and could not get a word in, "You will write down every word we talked about in the report, right?"
Yao Wangping nodded: "Yes."
Hong Guo was not afraid: "Write it, write this sentence too. Suspicion can cause a team to fall apart. It's not good to let it be like this. Once the matter at the coal mine is investigated, Chang Zong and I will withdraw. Don't come to us next time if you have any problems. You have people, resources, and a strong national force to back you up. You can really do anything. There's no need for us to join and cause internal strife."
Dong Liang was silent for a long time, then said, "I am sorry for bringing my personal emotions into work."
He sounded sincere, so Hong Guo stopped talking.
The forensic doctor was performing an autopsy. Gu Changzong hugged his shoulders and watched the doctor perform the autopsy. Hong Guo didn't dare to look and ran to look at the things taken off the deceased's body: a ring, a watch, and a pen.
Hong Guo was not shy and touched them one by one. Sure enough, only the watch recorded the image.
The leader of the mining area accepted bribes and gave mining rights to the coal boss, and received a lot of benefits. However, the coal boss relied on his powerful wife and was too bold to engage in illegal mining and an accident occurred. The leader said that he could not suppress it and wanted to surrender himself, so he asked his wife to hang the leader on the door frame, pretending that he was hanging himself out of fear of crime. It was really bold and presumptuous, but they did not find the evidence that the leader had hidden.
Hong Guo quietly asked Gu Changzong: "Should we just get the evidence and give it to Yao Wangping and the others?"
Gu Changzong glanced at the dissection table and shook his head. He did not believe Dong Liang. "Dong Liang and Xu Wenying are in the same camp. Xu Wenying has killed three of my fellow villagers. We should do it ourselves. The more attention we get, the more powerless he will have over us."
Hongguo nodded quickly, she thought so too.
Dong Liang was also paying attention to Hong Guo and Chang Zong's actions, but he couldn't see anything. He discussed with Yao Wangping: "There is no evidence now. All the clues have become corpses. They are two non-professionals. What can they do? Director Wei is desperate and is trying all kinds of methods. If Sister Xu is here, she will definitely have a solution."
Yao Wangping said, "Don't say that. What if the couple really solves the difficult problem? What will you say?"
Dong Liang didn't believe it. "According to the clues we have, one of the coal boss couple is a waste, and the other three have also been found by them. Can Gu Changzong still fight four alone? We still need to call in the armed police and kill them all if they resist."
"Let's find the evidence first." Dong Liang stopped arguing: "Find the evidence and report it before we can proceed to the next step."
…
After coming out of the autopsy room, Hongguo and Changzong went back to the guesthouse. Next to a transport truck parked on the side of the road, there were a few thugs, kicking the tires and lying on the truck bed. The long-haired man in the lead had a strange and evil smile. He had a lighter and a bottle with liquid in his hands, with the mouth of the bottle blocked with a rag.
"Do you know what this is?" Long-haired threatened proudly.
Jiang Hongguo knew that it was a simple ***, so she stepped forward and asked, "What do you want to do?"
The long-haired girl laughed out loud: "My boss and the big sister heard that our fellow villagers are here, and they want to invite you over for dinner. You are so lucky to be from the same hometown as them. I will help you dig a few shovels of coal, which is much more profitable than transporting it."
Gu Changzong asked calmly: "What if I don't go?"
"We are under a coal mine somewhere. We wouldn't mind digging a good spot for you to lie down."
Gu Changzong didn't hesitate: "Okay, go back and dig a hole."
The long-haired man was annoyed: "Believe it or not, I will burn your car."
“No.”
The long-haired man ignited the rag on the mouth of the bottle, and the rag soaked in gasoline instantly caught fire. Then he swung it hard, but the bottle did not fly out. When he looked closely, he found that the rag had been pulled out and stuffed into his mouth. Then, his body flew out uncontrollably, and he was dizzy.
Hongguo knew the reason why Changzong was angry. The gangster wanted to burn the transport truck with a gun and offended Gu Changzong.
This car was the first one she and Changzong bought with the money they worked together to earn. The cab and the rear bed were decorated by the two of them themselves, which had different meanings. If anyone dared to touch this car, she would not be able to control Changzong.
After a commotion, the police arrived. With Yao Wangping's ID and witnesses from the guesthouse, Hongguo and Changzong were found to be fine. However, the people at the guesthouse wanted them to move to another place.
"We are worried about being implicated. What if they want to burn down the guesthouse? There are so many guests here. We are all innocent."
Gu Changzong nodded, not wanting to embarrass the other person, packed up his things, and dropped Hongguo off at the entrance of the Yancheng Public Security Bureau, promising, "Guoguo, I'll be back at daybreak."
Hongguo was very nervous. Changzong was going to fight the evil forces in the mine alone. She had never seen such great abilities from him. He was so confident, so he should be fine, right?
When Yao Wangping heard that Gu Changzong went to the wolf's den alone, he was extremely anxious: "You acted on your own without contacting Director Wei? Who will be held responsible if something goes wrong?"
Hong Guo was worried, but she had to trust Chang Zong. She said firmly, "They are going to burn our car. Next time they will burn people. What are you waiting for? If Chang Zong says it's okay, then it's okay. If it's done, won't you be able to go back earlier?"
How could Yao Wangping feel at ease? He and Dong Liang took their guns, drove two police cars with the police on duty, and went to the coal mine for security.
Hongguo was getting so anxious that she had no mood to sleep. She waited until the late night. Many policemen from the bureau arrived, as if they were called in urgently. They all went out in full force, with many police cars sending out with sirens blaring. When the police cars came back in the morning, Changzong's transport truck also came back. More than a dozen criminal suspects were pushed out of several police cars, all with hoods on, so their faces could not be seen clearly.
Hongguo hurried to the cart to see if Changzong was hurt.
Gu Changzong turned around to show her, and said with a smile: "It's okay. Our strength does not rely on numbers, but on levels. These four people don't know their place and think I'm the same as them. They didn't take me going alone seriously. That's because they suffered from their self-confidence. Guoguo, you taught me well. I'll pretend to be weak first, and it's easy to trick out the evidence. We have witnesses, material evidence, and suspects. Let others escort the other four back, and we'll go home."
Jiang Hongguo checked carefully and found no external injuries except for several holes in his clothes. Chang Zong was really powerful as he could fight four people at once.
Hong Guo was stunned: "Chang Zong, are we doing things too quickly?"
Gu Changzong knew that it would be difficult to clean up the mess this time, but he had already done everything and didn't care about the aftermath anymore.
He originally wanted to pretend and do things slowly, but the subordinate who was doing the work was so irritating in his words that he couldn't stand it. And what about Dong Liang? Now he had nothing to say.
Hong Guo was worried about the four people: "What's wrong with them? Why are they all helping the tyrant to commit atrocities?"
Gu Changzong said: "Let Director Wei ask himself. There are many coal mines in Yancheng, and private coal mines are really profitable. Guoguo, do you want to dig coal?"
