Police Detective

On the plane at 10:55 pm on October 31, Bai Song arranged everything, and a group of four people were driven to the airport by colleagues from the criminal investigation detachment.

The policeman of the Criminal Investigation Bureau is named Xu Tao, who is three years older than Bai Song. He is a criminal policeman who has just worked for two years. The two policemen of the Criminal Investigation Detachment are deputy captain Zhou Linwu and a middle-aged policeman named Wei Zixiang. They were all Bai Song's seniors. Because of these people, Bai Song felt very at ease even though it was his first business trip.

The flight was a bit late, so the air ticket was only more than 800 yuan per person. In addition, we had to stop in Kun City, southern Xinjiang Province, and we would arrive at the Tea City tomorrow morning.

This business trip is not an easy one, as you can tell just by looking at the itinerary.

After getting on the plane, Team Zhou asked everyone to rest as much as possible and sleep as much as possible if they could.

That night, except for sleeping for two or three hours in the waiting hall of Kunming Airport when the plane stopped, Bai Song was basically in a daze. With Bai Song's height, the economy class cabin is indeed not big enough and there is not enough leg room.

At around eight o'clock the next morning, the plane landed at the tea city airport on time. Team Zhou led everyone to the hotel where they were staying to put down their things. They made a reservation for three days, and then went to the tea city public security bureau to contact them. comrades were contacted.

The Tea City is not big, but it is still full of vitality. The World Tourism Organization once called it "a poetic city, a place where even the air is full of poetry."

The fresh and sweet air refreshed Bai Song, who was used to dust and haze, and he was in pretty good shape.

As one of the border cities in the country, Tea City is adjacent to Jingna City to the south, Laos and Vietnam to the southeast. It is densely covered with forests and extremely rich in animal and plant resources. Unlike Tianhua City, the forest police here have a very high status and are very important. common.

Team Zhou was contacted by comrades from the criminal investigation detachment. After a brief exchange, they understood the situation of the problem.

2011 is an important year for the replacement of the second-generation national ID cards. After the 2010 population census, Tea City has been promoting this work, but it is far less easy than in areas such as Tianhua City. The reason is that the terrain is complex and the ethnic groups Numerous and poor roads.

Just two months ago, a mudslide occurred somewhere in Dayi Autonomous County in Tea City. Although there were no major casualties, it seriously affected traffic. June to September every year is the rainy season here. The rain two months ago lasted too long and the rainfall was not small. Daji Autonomous County can pass through to the outside world, but it cannot pass through several areas under its jurisdiction. Basically Contact with the outside world was cut off.

Among them, Li's parents are in one of these areas.

Now that the traffic has recovered, without further ado, Team Zhou rented a Great Wall SUV from a car rental agency for 80 yuan a day, went to the hotel to cancel his stay, brought his belongings, and bought the most complete map of the tea city. , and rushed to Dayi Autonomous County.

There was no expressway on this road, and it was a long way. Zhou Linwu and Wei Zixiang drove for three or four hours before arriving in Dayi Autonomous County. Along the way, they saw steep cliffs and saw piles of rocks and earth caused by small landslides four or five times. Among the loaders and forklifts that were cleaning the road, no one had any intention of sleeping and kept their spirits high. They arrived at Dayiao Autonomous County in the afternoon.

This is the border, not as desolate as imagined. The service industry and market here are still very lively. The four of them went to the local public security bureau to learn about the situation, and then ate some local specialty chicken stew, and the sky turned dark. The area we want to go to is not close to the county seat. It takes one hour to drive, then another hour to transfer to a bullock cart or three hours to walk. It is said that motorcycles can also go up there, but not many dare to ride them. This is not yet a village, it can barely be considered a town. To actually reach the destination, only cattle, horses and other livestock and human legs can walk up, and motor vehicles are basically useless.

Everyone went to bed early in the evening. We set off at six o'clock the next morning and arrived at the bus terminal at around seven o'clock. There is a piece of flat land here, about a few hundred square meters, with two old minibuses, several domestic or imported off-road vehicles, and a dozen motorcycles parked.

No matter how good the off-road vehicle is here, it can only look at the road and sigh. This is not a question of whether the road condition is good or not. The road is only about 1 meter wide at the narrowest place. What off-road vehicle can do anything about it?

Bai Song saw the bullock cart again after more than ten years.

When he was young, he grew up in a village. At that time, there was this kind of bullock cart in the village. One cart could pull three or four people, and there was also a cattle driver.

Several local guys came over and asked the four of them in less than standard Mandarin if they wanted to go in by motorcycle. It would take them 40 minutes to get there. Team Zhou declined politely because this place was too fast and they didn’t feel comfortable. The mountain road here is too difficult, and the ox-cart can only pull two people at most. The four people waited for nearly half an hour before they got two ox-carts. It cost five yuan per person, and 20 yuan for four people.

After a full hour and a half of jolting, we finally entered the town. It was not so much a town, but only one or two hundred households and three or two small shops. The town was paved with stone roads, and only people, livestock and motorcycles came and went. car.

Along the way, my buttocks were almost broken. I chatted with the owner of the oxcart along the way, and I realized that the village they were looking for had to be walked for six or seven hours from the town. The oxcart took this road. It’s impossible to walk, the locals mainly ride horses, and there is a section of the legendary Tea Horse Road. It takes almost three or four hours to ride. The horse needs a rest in this place, and the horse's walking speed is simply not fast enough.

There was poor GPRS signal in the town. The Zhou brigade and the horse detachment reported this situation amid the intermittent signal, and finally decided to rent horses and guides to go to the village. Once you leave town, there is guaranteed to be no signal at all, and there is no need to worry about water or electricity.

The four of them went to the police room here, and no one locked the door. They only left a phone number, but there was no phone signal and they couldn't make any calls. In desperation, according to the instructions of the fellow villager, I found the local post office.

Once here, the four found important clues. Lao Ma, the postman here, goes to that village every 20 days on average. Since part of the road was destroyed some time ago and has just been repaired, he has not been there for two months. But every few months, Lao Ma will receive emails and remittances from the county. He will go to that village and deliver the remittances to one household. Four people per household. There is a high probability that Li will give the money through others. Parents send money.

The most important thing is that I received a remittance of 2,000 yuan a few days ago. Lao Ma is planning to send it off tomorrow morning.

In 2011, trains have just started to implement the real-name system. Although the real-name system for bank remittances was earlier, the real-name system for the first-generation ID cards is still far from adequate. To put it bluntly, it is just a plastic shell wrapped in paper, so the name on the remittance slip is "王". "Fang" probably isn't her real name either.
