Police Detective

When Lao Ma goes to that village, he usually sets off early and then rushes back before night. It's already past ten o'clock now. If we leave now, it will be dark when we come back. The nights in these places are not as safe as imagined. Even Lao Ma has been carrying some self-defense medicine and a knife for so many years.

What to do now? Go back to the autonomous county and check the remittance situation again? This is of course not necessary.

Zhou Linwu discussed with Lao Ma and planned to ask Lao Ma to follow him for an extra reward. Lao Ma refused. He was a very responsible postman and could not accept money from Team Zhou, nor did he intend to change it. His schedule. But Lao Ma still introduced a local young man to Team Zhou who could be a guide for 50 yuan a day.

Team Zhou trusted Lao Ma and agreed.

There are subsidy standards for civil servants traveling on business. Normally, the four of them would take the train, but under special circumstances, such as this case, where the case is urgent and the distance is long, they can apply for air travel. In addition, there are fixed daily meal subsidies and accommodation subsidies. The money is basically just enough to spend on a tight budget, and expenses such as renting a car are not reimbursed. Fortunately, the prices here are really low. Accommodation fees are only a few dozen yuan, and meals are also very cheap. Therefore, each person is expected to have a few hundred yuan extra. This money is used for renting cars, renting horses, and hiring guides. situation.

The Yunnan horse is a kind of southern horse with good endurance, short stature and good weight-bearing ability. It is basically hard-working and hard-working, with rough skin and thick flesh. It is the main force of transportation here. The most important thing is that this kind of horse, which weighs only six to seven hundred kilograms and is less than 1.6 meters tall, is extremely docile and not very fast. Even the four of them are novices and can still ride it.

The local young man introduced by Lao Ma is a member of a minority group, Han Chinese named Ma Zhiyuan. I have to say that when the locals here give Han names, there are quite a few named Ma.

Xiao Ma is twenty-four years old this year. He has been doing a small business here since graduating from junior high school and also works as a guide. He speaks Chinese fairly well.

Due to the war that year, many nearby villages were left by people who had taken refuge there, and there were many Han people. The village Bai Song and the others were going to was mainly inhabited by Han people.

After meeting Xiao Ma briefly, Ma Zhiyuan meant to have some lunch early and set off, and stay in the village at night. He knew villagers there, and he could stay overnight in their homes.

This was the only way. Team Zhou didn't want to waste another day.

Ma Zhiyuan brought eight horses with him this time, two of which also carried goods, and six horses for riding. Although there were only five people, he still brought one more. The four of them also had their own backpacks and brought some food and forest medicines prepared in the county last night. They all wore long sleeves and long trousers and had a good meal. Team Zhou found a place with a signal and called the detachment. A phone call and off we went.

The road along the way is not as deserted and muddy as I thought before, but more like it consists of pavement and stone roads, and you will see a few horses or people after walking for a certain distance.

Riding a horse is less bumpy than riding an ox cart, but it still hurts the back. The four of us, who were not familiar with the nature of horses, were frightened to death when passing through some narrow sections. They could only listen to the pony and lower their bodies. Let the horse walk through on its own.

After walking for almost two hours, the horse team took a rest in a vacant area.

Halfway through the journey, it was pretty smooth, but both man and horse were tired and needed a rest. It's been two hours, and the freshness of riding a horse has long gone, replaced by pain on both sides of my thighs and back pain.

While he was resting, shouting came from the road ahead, and the sound came from far away. A minute later, a group of three people and three horses came out of the path.

Two police officers, one suspect.

It is estimated that this is the only place in the country that has this kind of feature. The arrested person is paired with a horse, and the police cannot ride the same horse with the suspect because the Yunnan horse is not big enough. The suspect was handcuffed and holding the reins with both hands. His equestrian skills were obviously much better than those of Bai Song and others. He could still ride smoothly with his hands cuffed. The two police officers, one behind the other, sandwiched the suspect's horse in the middle. The police officer behind also tied a rope to the suspect's horse to prevent him from escaping.

On the two horses in front and behind, there were two cages tied to each side of the horse's buttocks. Two of them were empty, and the remaining two were covered with cloth. It looked like there was something inside.

When the police saw that there were five people here, they became nervous, and then they felt relieved when they saw Ma Zhiyuan. There are so few villagers and residents in this neighborhood that almost everyone knows them. Naturally, the two of them knew each other since Pony ran around here every day doing business.

"Brother Liu, Brother Sun, have you caught another poacher?" Ma Zhiyuan took the initiative to say hello.

"Yeah." The policeman who was called Brother Sun nodded and said nothing more. There were outsiders here and he didn't want to cause trouble.

Team Zhou walked forward alone, took out his police officer ID card, showed it to Officer Liu, and briefly explained his purpose. Officer Sun looked at this situation and realized that they were actually colleagues. The police are a family in the world, so of course he can rest assured. Besides, Bai Song and the four of them had a police temperament at first glance. He and the policeman named Brother Liu got off together. Ma, greeted everyone and passed cigarettes to each other.

There was no vegetation in this resting area, and as long as the cigarette butts were stepped on, there was no hidden danger. As several people smoked, they got closer and started chatting.

Sun Yi is the police officer in this area, and Liu Tianhua is the auxiliary police officer. Neither of them are police officers from the common public security police station, but officers from the forest police station. Today, they are chasing a poacher. I set off early and am already coming back now.

"This kid, if you don't learn well, you won't do anything serious since you were a child." Sun Yi also dragged the poaching young man off his horse: "You kid, in front of such a policeman and senior, I will say a few more words to you. , if you catch these two animals this time, you can sell them here for only 1,800 yuan, but you can stay here for several years, are you worth it?"

The young man who was arrested had his head pressed very low. He grew up in the same group as Ma Zhiyuan. He was one year older than Ma Zhiyuan. They went to junior high school together and they were familiar with each other. He felt even more uncomfortable when Ma Zhiyuan saw him committing an offense. .

"I've made you laugh." Sun Yi turned to Captain Zhou and said, "We have fewer people here than in big cities. Sometimes we arrest them here and there. It's these groups of people, stupid boys who don't repent, who will be shot. It’s over.”

"It's all the same, and it's the same over here. The training of detainees has a long way to go," Team Zhou said with emotion.

Happy National Day everyone!
