I'm catching tricks in the Hong Kong variety show world

"How many people are injured?"

"It seems that Chen Aibing was seriously injured. I don't know the rest. The health center didn't say anything."

Captain Jiang was very decisive, "Inform them that they will come out with me in 5 minutes and go to Chenjiadun."

Finally, he pointed at Su Hao and said, "You guys pack your luggage and come with us."

Su Hao heard the conversation between the two and became nervous.

If Chen Aibing, the only son of Chen Aiguo, the second oldest son, had another concussion, the Chen family would be almost wiped out.

Several people hurriedly came to the lobby. Su Hao waved to Jiang Xiaoya who was sitting outside playing with her mobile phone, "Let's go back to Chenjiadun with them. Something happened there."

Jiang Xiaoya raised her head belatedly and said blankly, "Ah, what's wrong?"

Su Hao was not in the mood to explain, so he urged directly: "Get in the car first, and I will explain to you later."

Not wanting to cause trouble, Su Hao did not disclose to the public that Jiang Xiaoya was Tan Zuochen's biological daughter. He also did not summon Jiang Xiaoya when taking the transcript just now.

Even if you call her in, she only speaks Cantonese and the other party won't understand. It's a waste of time.

Soon, two cars started driving in the courtyard of the Qingmu County Public Security Bureau. They were both SUVs, a Volkswagen and a Dongfeng Nissan. Su Hao and Jiang Xiaoya got into the latter car with their suitcases.

There were four or five police officers on duty together, and Su Hao keenly observed that one of them had a gun holster hanging on his waist.

Captain Jiang and Su Hao were not in the same car. Su Hao wanted to find out something on the way. Unfortunately, the police officer driving in the car was very tight-lipped and did not reveal more information. It is also possible that the police officer did not know as much as Su Hao.

The SUV was driving very fast. After leaving the county town, we drove for about 30 minutes. The road conditions became bumpy. Based on experience, Su Hao judged that we were not far from Chenjiadun.

From time to time, there was a burst of dialogue from the intercom in the center console of the car, revealing some basic conditions of Chenjiadun. The two brothers, Chen Dahu and Chen Xiaohu, had been controlled in place by the police from the Kaoshan Town Police Station. The ambulance from the county hospital had arrived at the scene in advance. , cleaning Chen Aibing's wounds.

There were no casualties.

After receiving this information, the officer driving the car was visibly relieved.

After driving on the dirt road for more than ten minutes, the vehicle stopped at the door of a three-story building at the end of Chenjiadun Village. The square was crowded with people. At a glance, there were no less than 30 to [-] people, most of whom were villagers from the same village.

The only ones left were a few policemen from the Kaoshan Town Police Station and the criminal policemen from the Qingmu County Public Security Bureau who came behind. There was an ambulance parked in the square, and several people in white coats were bandaging Chen Aibing's wounds.

Captain Jiang quickly walked up and shouted loudly to the crowd: "How is Chen Aibing injured?"

An emergency nurse replied: "The brow bone was broken and there was a lot of blood. We just cleaned his wound and bandaged it immediately. We will not know anything else until he goes to the hospital for a full set of examinations."

Captain Jiang glanced at Chen Aibing on the bench, and his expression immediately turned stern, "It's enough to meet the standard of minor injuries. You guys handcuffed the suspects Chen Dahu and Chen Xiaohu, took them to the car, and returned to the station for interrogation. "

"Did anyone else take action at the scene?"

"If no one takes action, everyone will disperse and go back to their homes. Don't gather here."

Captain Jiang cuts through the mess quickly.

The feud between the two families does not require extensive interviews with local people. At most, it is enough to ask for the confessions of the policemen in Kaoshan Town and the confessions of Chenjiadun Village Chief.

The key is how to deal with it later.

If it's not handled well, this matter will definitely not end. Captain Jiang had a headache thinking about this.

He judged based on his many years of criminal investigation experience that the trouble might have just begun.

Su Hao stood like a transparent person in the crowd watching the fun. He first took a look at Chen Aibing, who was having his wound bandaged, and found that he was less than 20 years old. He was very thin and had an unyielding expression on his face. .

Then there were two brothers, Chen Dahu and Chen Xiaohu, who were brought into the car. They were in their 30s, dark-skinned, stocky, with a Chinese character face and a traditional peasant appearance. The difference was that there was a hint of treachery and fierceness in their simplicity.

The people from the county brigade came and went faster. Before leaving, Captain Jiang seemed to remember Su Hao. He pointed at Su Hao and said to a policeman from the Kaoshan Town Police Station at the scene: "These two are compatriots who came from Hong Kong Island to visit relatives. You will introduce them to the village chief soon and let him make arrangements. We must not let them cause trouble within our jurisdiction, do you understand?"

"understand."

The policemen from the Kaoshan Town Police Station nodded repeatedly while observing Su Hao.

Soon, two police cars and an ambulance left the scene. The square in front of the building became noisy for a while, and the villagers who remained at the scene seemed to be having a tea party.

The grudge between these two families is a long story to tell, and there may be some fun drama to come.

The policemen from the Kaoshan Town Police Station quickly brought an old man in his 50s to Su Hao. He repeated what Captain Jiang had said, then left Su Hao behind and got into the car.

After there were fewer people at the scene, the old village chief asked Su Hao tentatively: "They said you came from Hong Kong Island to visit relatives. I would like to ask whose relatives you are?"

Su Hao said truthfully: "Chen Jianguo is my master."

As soon as Su Hao finished speaking, the old village chief's expression suddenly changed.

He looked around and found that the villagers at the scene did not notice the three of them, but focused all their attention on an old man in a wheelchair who had just come out of the door of the building.

Su Hao's eyes also fell on the old man in the wheelchair. With a quick glance, he saw that the old man's eyes were full of evil and vicious eyes.

Su Hao immediately guessed the identity of this disabled old man in a wheelchair. It was he who had a conflict with Tan Zuchen 40 years ago.

The old village chief pulled Su Hao over and urged, "Don't stay here. Leave quickly. Follow me. I'll find a place to settle you."

Chapter 245

The old village chief led Su Hao and Jiang Xiaoya towards the crowd, away from this place of right and wrong.

The topography of the village in Chenjiadun is very strange. The head of the village is high and the end of the village is low.

Behind the end of the village is a small hillside. There is a large forest on the hillside, which looks lush and green from a distance.

Su Hao looked at the situation of Chenjiadun while walking and found that there were very few buildings in the whole village. Only the three-story building of Chen Dahu and Chen Xiaohu's house stood out from the crowd. Even the square in front of the door was made of cement. It was very smooth and elegant. Other villagers' houses Most of them are three-room mud-tile houses built with earthen walls.

There are not many bungalows built with blue bricks.

There are about seventy or eighty households in the whole village, which can be considered a prosperous population in this area. The village committee is located in Chenjiadun.

Just when Su Hao was looking at the situation in Chenjiadun Village, he suddenly saw a figure standing on the hillside not far away. The figure stared motionlessly in the direction of Chen Dahu's house. Su Hao didn't pay attention at first, but after walking a few dozen meters, he Looking back, I still saw the man standing motionless on the hillside like a pine tree.

If ordinary people could only see a figure in the distance, Su Hao's five senses were now awakened and his eyesight was amazing. Not only could he see that the other person was a man, but he could also see that the other person was a man in his 50s.

This person is most likely a villager from Chenjiadun. Even if he likes to watch the excitement, why don't he get closer and watch instead of watching from a distance alone on the hillside?

Su Hao gave the village party secretary a cigarette and took the initiative to talk to him: "Secretary, there is a man in his fifties standing on the hillside at the end of the village. He seems to be looking in the direction of Chen Dahu's house. Who is he?"

The old secretary glanced toward the hillside at the end of the village, but Mao didn't see it. This did not prevent him from judging the man's identity based on experience.

The old secretary quietly glanced at Su Hao and said in shock: "Since you are Chen Jianguo's apprentice, and since ancient times, apprentices can be half-disciples, I guess that the person standing on the hillside should be your third uncle, that is, Chen Jianguo's third brother Chen Aiyang .”

Su Hao was shocked and said insinuatingly: "I heard that my third uncle was beaten with a wooden stick and his brain was damaged. Is he mentally ill?"

The old secretary narrowed his eyes and said with a pun: "Who knows? Maybe, maybe not, at least I don't think there is anything wrong with him."

Su Hao thought about it.

Sure enough, it was clear after listening to it. In the information from Qingmu County, Chen Aiyang was classified as a psychopath, one of the kind of neuropaths who are relatively mild and can take care of themselves.

Su Hao realized that the old secretary in front of him probably knew a lot of inside information.

Su Hao glanced at the gift bag in Jiang Xiaoya's hand and said deliberately to please: "I came back in a hurry this time. I didn't bring any gifts, so I just bought some daily necessities. There was an electric shaver that the village secretary could use. I'll show it to you when I get to the location. If the secretary likes anything, just pick it out. It's not worth much anyway."

The old secretary's face immediately lit up with joy, and he chose to reciprocate the favor, saying: "Our village is not big or small, and the conditions are certainly not as good as those in the city. The autumn harvest is about to begin this year, and every household has no spare house. I will lead you Let’s just go to the village committee’s meeting room, it has air conditioning and a sofa, and there’s no need to pay for accommodation fees.”

"By the way, I haven't asked you why you came back this time? How is Chen Jianguo doing on Hong Kong Island?"

"In my opinion, he has a family now and can't return. What's the use of making money? It's better to come back and surrender as soon as possible. By then, if you use some money to find someone to support you, he might be able to come out in less than three years. Again, It would be great if a good man could live in Chenjiadun directly. With him, Chen Dahu and Chen Xiaohu would not be as arrogant as they are now."

Su Hao seized the opportunity to get some words from the old secretary.

"Brothers Chen Dahu and Chen Xiaohu usually act arrogantly in the village? What do they do for a living? I think their house is the most elegant in the whole village."

The old secretary said: "Isn't it? Chen Dahu planted several acres of paddy fields at home and had no skills. He went to work in the mines in his spare time and took care of his disabled father at home. Chen Xiaohu worked in the nearby coal mine all year round. He used to work as a contractor and had several people working with him. There are not many people around here who can offend him."

"Even the boss of a coal mine has to rely on him."

Su Hao continued to ask: "Generally, those who can contract private coal mines are capable and energetic people, so the coal mine boss still relies on Chen Xiaohu? Is it too exaggerated?"

The village secretary glanced at Su Hao, a glint of wisdom flashed in his eyes.

How could he not tell that Su Hao was trying to trick him?

Maybe the gift Su Hao promised had an effect, or maybe it was Su Hao's identity as Tan Zuo Chen's disciple, or maybe... the behavior of the two brothers Chen Dahu and Chen Xiaohu was too domineering, and it had already affected them. The interests and authority of his village secretary.

In short, the village secretary said everything he knew in front of Su Hao.

The old secretary took two puffs of cigarette and sighed: "City boy, you don't understand. We have more than 100 coal mines in Qingmu County, and most of them are contracted by private parties. Everyone knows that contracting coal mines can make money, so everyone would rather He went bankrupt, sold his house and land, and borrowed money everywhere, even taking usury loans, and even if he partnered with others, he still wanted to win the contracting rights of the coal mine."

"However, there are too many monks and too little food. Take our backing town as an example. There are only a few coal mines in total. How can more than ten villages get enough points? Those who failed in the competition saw others triumphantly winning the five-year contracting rights of the coal mines. Naturally, they all hated it. My teeth are itching, do you think there will be no expenses if you don’t win the bid in the end? Wrong, do you need money to treat the town cadres to meals, drinks, gifts, and foot washing?”

"Does it cost money to give red envelopes to county cadres? Some money has to be given away regardless of whether it is successful or not. You can't save it. If you don't give it away, you won't even be qualified to participate in the competition. You will lose a lot of money in vain, and you won't even make any money in the end. , seeing that your competitors are making a lot of money by being popular and drinking spicy food, if it were you, how could you endure it?"

Su Hao followed the old secretary's tone and said, "It's more uncomfortable to see others making big money than to be in debt, especially those competitors who don't deal with them, so they will try every means to cause trouble during the contract period. It's best to make the other party unable to make money. It even caused a lot of trouble."

The secretary replied: "That's the truth."

Su Hao continued: "The best way is to cause a mining disaster while the other party is contracting the coal mine, kill a few people, make the matter bigger, and force the government and news media to intervene and take back the other party's contracting rights."

The secretary rolled his eyes at Su Hao, "I didn't say that. These are all your own imagination."

Su Hao chuckled, understanding that the old secretary in front of him was willing to reveal some information to him, but once it involved him, he would directly deny it.

Resolutely pick it out, pick it far away, and don't want to cause any trouble.

What an old fox.

Su Hao added: "Chen Xiaohu was very ruthless. He beat Chen Aiyang into a lunatic with a wooden stick. He must have a fierce reputation in the surrounding area. In addition, he also has an older brother Chen Dahu who fights alongside him. The two brothers together are indeed... A force.”

In today's rural areas, most young people have gone out to work, and most of the people in the village are old, weak, sick and disabled.

A pair of brothers in their 30s join forces, fight fiercely, and use their strength in one place. It is indeed worth winning over.

"In addition, Chen Xiaohu has also roped in a group of migrant workers from the mines. The combination of these people is enough to make the coal plant boss jealous. Whether it is to stabilize them or to rely on them to fight against the troubles of those who have failed in the competition, it is worth wooing them. .”

The old secretary said quietly: "City boy, you think too simply."

Su Hao suddenly asked: "Twenty years ago, Chen Aibing's father, Chen Aiguo, had an accident in the coal mine and died of serious injuries. Was it caused by a competitor in the coal mine, or by the two brothers Chen Dahu and Chen Xiaohu?"

The old secretary was shocked, and the relaxed expression on his face disappeared instantly. He changed from his previous amiable demeanor and glanced at Su Hao warily, "Are you here to visit relatives or to investigate a case?"

Su Hao said: "The purpose of my return was mentioned to Captain Jiang of the Qingmu County Public Security Bureau before. I brought my master's urn back to bury it in the ancestral grave in my hometown, so that my master could return to his roots."

The old secretary's face was startled again, and he lost his voice: "What? Tan Zuchen is dead? What a pity, what a pity."

Su Hao said: "Why do you say it's a pity? Although my master is no longer here, he has left all his skills to me. I'm not bragging. Ordinary grown men can't get close to me."

The old secretary laughed for no reason. He looked at a branch of a crooked tree in front of him and said: "Young boy, you are still young after all. Your thinking is too simple. It is no longer what it was a few decades ago." In an era where you can do whatever you want with just your kung fu, even if your kung fu is better than Chen Jianguo's back then, there are still people who can control you now."

Su Hao followed the old secretary's line of sight and found that there was a rifle shape on the branch of the crooked neck tree.

Su Hao was slightly startled, "Do the Chen brothers have guns in their hands? Or is it a long spear?"

It is really possible to think so.

If he didn't have a gun, why would the coal yard owner rely on him?

If there was a gun, everything would be a matter of course.

Su Hao was surprised that if the Chen brothers had guns in their hands, even if they were secretly hidden, a small number of people would know about it. Why didn't anyone go to the town police station to report it?

wrong?

It's not that no one reported it, but it's useless to report it. Instead, it will usher in secret revenge from the two brothers.

Su Hao thought again about the policeman from the police station who introduced him to the old secretary just now.

This man had a big belly and didn't take Captain Jiang's instructions seriously at all. Instead, he threw Su Hao to the secretary very perfunctorily and left.

Since the Chen brothers are rich and powerful, there is no reason why they should not find a backer or partner in the town.

Su Hao asked again: "The pot-bellied policeman just now should be the policeman from the Kaoshan Town Police Station? What is his name?"

The old secretary had a slightly surprised expression on his face, as if he was silently praising Su Hao for being smart enough to understand. If so, he wouldn't mind revealing more information.

"The man's surname is Jiang, and he is a deputy director of the police station. We usually call him Director Jiang. He and the Chen brothers have known each other for many years."

it is as expected.

There wasn't much information revealed in the old secretary's words. Just "I've known him for many years" was enough to explain many problems.

At that time, Director Jiang hurriedly abandoned Su Hao. On the one hand, he did not need to worry about his position as a captain of the county bureau's criminal police brigade. On the other hand, he may have been concerned about the Chen brothers who were taken away.

Everything slowly came together.

Su Hao had one last question left, "Old secretary, as soon as I saw you, I thought you were amiable, kind and fair. I just want to know whether the accident that happened to my second uncle Chen Aiguo in the mine was man-made. still?"

"If it's not convenient for you to say it, just nod or shake your head. Anyway, there is no one else here. I will never tell anyone else afterwards, nor will it involve you."

The old secretary slyly showed a row of yellowed teeth, laughed twice again, and replied indifferently: "You are a noble person who came back from Hong Kong Island. I can tell by your dress that you have a good future. You promise me one thing first, and I will answer your question."

"Okay, what do you need me to promise?"
