Chapter 74 Chapter 74 The new gene born from the snake clan,...
Hongguo wants to mine coal. Private coal mine owners really make money, but the family's jade business also makes money, and the jade business has a clear division of labor and is very free. If a coal mine is opened, Changzong has to be here, and Diandian has to come here since she is going to kindergarten.
Hongguo is fine, and Diandian is probably the same, so she asked, "Changzong, why are you interested in coal mining? It's risky. If the mine collapses, people will go in, and Director Wei won't be able to get you out."
Gu Changzong knew, so he pulled Hongguo a little further away, and said excitedly, "When it grows bigger, his golden dragon will also grow bigger, and it can support the entire mine and prevent it from collapsing. Director Wei is causing more and more trouble for us, so we should ask for more benefits. If we don't, he will continue to cause trouble for us."
Hongguo looked at the policemen running in and out. This case was handled too quickly. So many evil people were arrested at once. Changzong proposed to contract the coal mine at this time. Director Wei should agree.
Hong Guo decided to take the chance to increase the success rate. She looked around and saw no one around, so she said, "I had a quarrel with Dong Liang before, and he said that we would leave after this matter was settled, and don't look for us if there is any problem in the future. So we will leave now."
Gu Changzong felt that Hongguo was good at controlling people, which made Wei Liangzheng anxious.
Another point is that the interrogation must take place in the jade mine, so he did not ask any questions in private and could not falsify his confession. Director Wei should be relieved.
He and Hongguo got into the car immediately, but not long after they started driving, they were caught up by a police car from behind. The small car was faster than the big truck, but it caught up so quickly. As soon as they set off, the people behind caught up with them.
Hongguo was very proud in her heart. Her manipulation was effective. He caught up with her so quickly. Did he know how important she and Changzong were?
Hong Guo and Chang Zong smiled at each other, then she leaned over the car window and looked down, asking Yao Wangping under the car: "You've handed over the people and the evidence, why are you still chasing us?"
Yao Wangping said hurriedly, "There are four suspects who need to be interrogated separately. There is no suitable place for interrogation here. I would like to borrow the warehouse under your antique shop in the provincial capital."
This is a small matter. Hong Guo said, "It's just a matter of a word. You can use it. Move the police car. We want to go home."
Yao Wangping turned around, gave Dong Liang a look, and kicked him: "You said you have something to say?"
Dong Liang did not expect that Gu Changzong could easily defeat four of his kind and even found the evidence of corrupt officials that he had been unable to find before. It was unknown what he said to those four people, but they were all willing to cooperate and go back.
Dong Liang said: "The suspect is currently cooperating, but the journey back is long, and he wants to go back with you."
Dong Liang thought he would be humiliated, but he heard Jiang Hongguo say, "No problem on my side, I'll ask Changzong."
Then he heard Gu Changzong say impatiently but concisely: "Then turn around and go back."
Hong Guo explained it more clearly: "Since we have decided to travel together, let's start from the entrance of the Public Security Bureau. If something unexpected happens on this short section of road, we will regret it to death."
Dong Liang was stunned for several seconds. He was pushed into the car by Yao Wangping. He didn't dare to believe it and asked his companions: "Why don't they humiliate and embarrass me?"
Yao Wangping was very rational and impartial: "Because they know the difference between the important and the unimportant, and they won't lose their temper when it comes to serious matters, unlike Xu Wenying."
Dong Liang didn't believe it: "Why did they just turn around and leave without saying hello?"
Yao Wangping laughed: "You are stupid. They originally planned to do this in half a month, but they finished it in one night. It exceeded expectations. They are deliberately trying to gain benefits."
Dong Liang blurted out: "How can there be such a comrade?"
Yao Wangping said: "They are still helping voluntarily. They are willing to stay here and abide by the rules. It is their love for the land. Otherwise, with Gu Changzong's ability, he could become a local bully wherever he goes with Jiang Hongguo and his fellow villagers."
This is the truth. After Dong Liang figured it out, he felt that he had too much prejudice against Gu Changzong in the past.
When they returned to the Public Security Bureau, there were two police cars with four suspects, and Changzong's car followed at the end. They drove during the day and stayed in a hotel at night, and the four suspects didn't say a word the whole time.
Hong Guo looked familiar. They were the four remaining passengers on the bus. Now they were all together. What had they been through? They were brought together in this way.
As soon as they arrived in the provincial capital, Hongguo and Changzong would definitely want to go home first, but they didn't expect that Wei Liangzheng, who had just met them, would ask Hongguo for a favor.
"Hongguo, can you be the presiding judge this time? If you agree, you can make a request, and I will try my best to satisfy it."
Hongguo's mind moved. This was a good idea. Interrogation was just chatting. She couldn't do it with the vicious criminals, but she could try to talk to the folks in Changzong and get something useful out of the conversation. She suggested contracting a private coal mine, which gave her a better chance.
Hong Guo said, "Give me twenty minutes, then. I'll clean up and set up the place. If that helps put their guard down, that's even better. If not, then I'll just be working in vain."
Wei Liang was so anxious that he wanted Hong Guo to finish the interrogation before going home, but he supported her for these twenty minutes.
While waiting, he said to Dong Liang: "You can go down to listen to the trial, but you can no longer visit Xu Wenying in the future. I also agree that you can go to see Xu Wenying, but you can no longer participate in the affairs here."
Dong Liang did not hesitate and chose to go down to listen. He wanted to see, how could Jiang Hongguo find out the truth about the person who died after Xu Wenying asked him questions?
…
After Hongguo restored the warehouse and Du Yushan moved in, she was in a casual state. She shook out the folded blanket on the simple bed, casually put it on the bed, and asked Gu Changzong to make tea.
Gu Changzong did as he was told, and still said, "Guoguo, there's no need to be so nice to them."
Hong Guo smiled sheepishly: "If today is their last day, I hope they can feel a little bit of the normal side of this world."
Gu Changzong didn't say anything, but his eyes became even gentler.
When people came in, Hongguo specifically requested that they not be handcuffed. There was a man, a woman, and two children, a brother and sister. Behind them followed Director Wei, Dong Liang, and Yao Wangping.
The jade shop upstairs is still closed because of the last shooting incident, and the warehouse downstairs is even quieter.
There were two stools missing, so Hong Guo hurriedly folded up the blankets on the cot and said in a gentle voice with a smile, "Something happened last time, and Yu Shan left in a hurry, so we didn't have time to put away the blankets. You guys sit down first."
The four of them sat down, and the woman held the two children in each hand and sat on the simple bed where she could relax.
Hongguo looked around and saw that there were too many people. If they sat in separate places like this, it would be a bit like the relatives coming over during the Chinese New Year and gathering in the yard to chat and gossip.
Hong Guo couldn't just chat, so she said, "Who among you four is the representative? Let me say a few words first. This isn't an interrogation. I just want to have a casual chat with you. Before we start, I want to say that you can just listen. If you don't want to say anything, that's fine. Don't commit suicide."
Seeing that they still didn't say anything and not knowing who was in charge, Hongguo ran to Changzong, ruffled his fluffy and smooth short hair, with a smile full of heartache.
"Chang Zong was detained in the detention center for three days. I felt so bad. In our place, only those who have made mistakes will be detained. Guess how Chang Zong comforted me? He said that he had food to eat, clothes to wear, and a roof over his head to keep out the wind and rain, and that it was fine. He told me not to worry. The more he said that, the more upset I felt. Are the lives of ordinary people in your place worse than those of the prisoners here?"
The woman turned her face away and said nothing. Before she came here, she was a hunter, responsible for hunting. She was created without killing, and then she came here. But since she came here, she has killed before.
Maybe she was moved by Hongguo's sincerity, or maybe it was the environment here that made her feel at ease, knowing that there was someone of the same kind who had been protected here.
Du Lianfang began to speak, telling how she came here. Her brother-in-law was introduced by a fellow villager and came here to work for the coal mine owner. He earned a lot, and the more he earned, the greedier he became. In the end, he sold coal privately, and when the boss found out, he wanted to break his legs. So her family forced her to come here to find a solution.
"The coal mine boss soon discovered my strength. He was ruthless and first used money to corrupt my family, making me disillusioned with them. By the time I got to him, my family was digging coal in the mine, and then they died quietly. I was not sad. My greatest skill is finding things, and I can quickly find people of the same kind. The two children and the man were all found by the coal mine boss in the same way. The next thing was fighting and taking over the territory. Then when something went wrong, he killed them to silence them. If I took action, the police would not find evidence, and the case would never be solved. The coal mine boss became more and more fearless until you came and solved the matter overnight."
After introducing the situation, Du Lianfang changed the subject without waiting for questions: "I was able to give up the coal boss and stop protecting him because the crisis prevention mechanism in my genes suddenly awakened. I sensed that something that could destroy our demigod clan had appeared. I have more important things to do."
This shocked everyone and no one asked any questions for a long time. Hong Guo was stunned and waited for her to continue. Suddenly, Chang Zong beside her pinched her palm and said, "Guo Guo, everyone is waiting for you to ask."
Wei Liangping didn't dare to ask about such important news, fearing that the other party would not say anything. Hongguo was in a daze just now, and Gu Changzong reminded her only after receiving Wei Liangzheng's gaze.
Hong Guo asked, "What on earth are you demigods afraid of?"
Du Lianfang looked at Hongguo, hesitating and not wanting to say anything.
Hong Guo waved her hands quickly: "It's okay, it's okay. If you don't want to tell me, don't force me. I don't really want to know either."
Wei Liang was worried. This girl had a really good attitude, but they had to know.
Du Lianfang sighed, hugged the two children and said, "Before our group came here, we were clean. These two children have never done anything illegal here. Can you let them go?"
Wei Liangzheng had to guarantee this. He solemnly promised: "After we investigate it, we will find out that they are fine and we will take good care of them."
Du Lianfang decided to exchange a matter that she herself had no clue about for a better path for two people of the same kind.
"Nuwa in our world is already dead. I don't know how you record the ancient times here, but in our world, Nuwa is a general term, also known as the Snake Clan. They are a true race of gods with the power to destroy the world. It's a pity that we have never seen them. Later, the skeletons of the Snake Clan in the temple were used to give birth to demigods. If demigods are nurtured and evolved, they can only be monsters with low intelligence, not humans."
Hong Guo asked timidly: "But, you see, the animals and people here are all normal, so how can there be a new Nuwa?"
Du Lianfang was also unclear: "I don't understand it yet, but the emergency program in my genes started, and I suddenly knew all these things. Your new Nuwa gene must have been activated. I can feel it."
Jiang Hongguo was still asking, "That's unlikely. After we destroyed the Four Olds, there was no belief in gods and ghosts. Could it be that a half-human, half-snake species would suddenly appear? Comrade Lianfang, this kind of thing requires evidence, not feelings."
Du Lianfang looked around and found that except for Gu Changzong, everyone else had the same idea as Jiang Hongguo.
She laughed, "This is the difference in our thinking. Your culture believes that such things are genetic mutations, cultivating gods and monsters, but on our side, we can only say that the new species experiment was successful. Ge Zizai, who came from your side, did some operations and one link was successful. Someone brought the purest gene of the snake clan, but I don't know what it will be used for next. The self-preservation gene that I suddenly awakened is to find and eliminate this new Nuwa gene. We can't let this gene come back to our side."
Hong Guo didn't quite understand what she said. If what she said was true, wouldn't this new gene help them create many demigods? She asked this question.
Du Lianfang answered and gave Jiang Hongguo an analogy: "You extract antidotes and medicines from snake venom, and we do the same. There is a snake clan that can create new demigods. It is also highly toxic. It is a deadly poison targeting the demigod clan. It is dangerous and can destroy the clan. Only by eliminating it can we feel at ease."
After hearing this, suddenly, the thing that popped into Hongguo's mind was Little Bit.
Ge Zizai gave Diandian a strange fish, and Diandian ate it confusedly, and nothing happened. Then Du Lianfang awakened the crisis emergency gene, and wanted to find and kill it. The timing was right. Xiaobutian was Changzong's child, and he was different from the beginning. He ate the strange fish alive, so he couldn't have a new snake gene. It must be Xiaobutian.
Hong Guo asked hurriedly, "I know it's hard to find them, but Chang Zong and the others have awakened the crisis gene just like you, so do they want to eliminate the danger?"
Du Lianfang shook her head: "This is not like growing vegetables. You plant a handful and get a batch. Among our batch, it is very likely that one or two can awaken. I don't know how to find them. You won't let me go out to look for them again, right?"
Jiang Hongguo's expression relaxed, and he smiled faintly in his heart: "I don't think he will release it. I don't know what else to ask. You can ask Director Wei directly. He has the most authority and can answer you better."
Du Lianfang nodded, and at the same time she said: "I don't really have anything to say."
Before Wei Liangzheng asked, he was very concerned about Jiang Hongguo. During the questioning, he had been paying attention to Du Lianfang and Jiang Hongguo's facial expressions. Hongguo had something on her mind but didn't say it.
"Hongguo, do you have any concerns or questions?" Wei Liangzheng patiently explained: "If you need anything, you can always come to me."
Hong Guo waved her hands quickly: "My problems are minor, yours are major. The new gene of the snake clan sounds troublesome. Do you need me to sign a confidentiality agreement? I can cooperate."
Wei Liangzheng was even more certain that Hongguo had something to say, so he said, "Okay, since you have made such a great contribution this time, you can ask for anything you want."
Hong Guo said embarrassedly: "I think private coal mines are very profitable. Chang Zong and I also want to do it. Can you help me get a coal mining license?"
"You just want this?" Wei Liangzheng couldn't believe it.
Hong Guo was uncertain: "If it's difficult, forget it, it's okay."
Wei Liangzheng smiled and said, "I can promise you now. I still need to be busy for a while. Is it convenient for me to go to your house for dinner tonight?"
Hongguo's heart skipped a beat. When they went home for dinner, he would definitely want to hold Diandian and play with her. The child was very vain and would not be able to help showing off when he got something good. He would have to explain himself when he got home.
Hong Guo nodded hurriedly: "Welcome, you all go, Chang Zong and I will go buy some groceries first."
