Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Folk Performances

In the middle of winter, it was not cold in the big tent, and many people gathered together to exhale the smelly heat. Most of the audience were idle men from the countryside. They sat on several rows of long wooden boards with bricks, smoking and spitting , watching with gusto.When Hualong and others bought tickets to go in, the performance was coming to an end, and the grand finale was about to begin. A clown stood on stage breathing fire, and a girl danced and undressed, swinging her bra in circles. The host appeared and said something sensationally on the stage, and the audience applauded loudly.

Bao Zhan said: "Well, it's just in time for the 10th anniversary celebration of this grass-roots team." Su Mei said: "I'm looking forward to it, I don't know what unique skills will come next." Police officer Xiaoxie said, "I don't really want to watch the dancing." Hualong said: "Haha, little brother, are you shy when you see that bare-bottomed chick just now?" The Xiaoxie policeman faltered and couldn't speak. The host shouted at the throat: "Welcome to the two beauties, Da Bing and Xiao Wu, to perform the eighteen tricks of strange women for everyone. This is not magic, nor is it acrobatics. This is a unique skill that will open your eyes. This is The grand finale of this trip to the countryside to express condolences to the masses.”

Two girls came out from behind the scenes, both wearing white sweaters, red woolen skirts on their lower bodies, and knee-high boots on their feet. The boots had the rigid and wrinkled characteristics of leather products.Both girls wore heavy makeup, dark circles under their eyes, scarlet lips, and exaggeratedly large, round plastic colored earrings. The two girls used the microphone to introduce themselves first. The girl named Xiaowu was thin and small, and the girl named Dabing was a bit fat. The white sweater on her body was very tight, showing a round belly, and the sleeves and armpits of the sweater were wide. , with arms outstretched, resembling a bat.

As the music played, Da Bing and Xiao Wu danced passionately. They twisted their bodies crazily with the rhythm of the music. When they raised their legs and twirled, the audience saw that the skirt was "vacuum" and they were not wearing underwear. After the warm-up, the real performance begins. They first performed beer opening and balloon shooting, and the subsequent performances were even more unsightly and shocking.For example, connect the razor blades together with a thread, put them into the lower body and then pull them out; for example, smoking and blowing smoke rings on the lower body...

Hualong said: "It's almost done, little brother, follow me." Xiaoxie said incoherently: "I... am not very well, so many people are watching... or, wait for them..." Hualong dragged the little policeman onto the stage, angrily reprimanded the two girls, telling them to stop the pornographic performance, and then took out the police officer's ID to show the audience, the audience ran out one after another, Bao Zhan and Su Mei hurriedly evacuated the audience , to prevent stampede accidents. Hualong and others explained their intentions, saying that they did not come to fight against pornography.

The person in charge of the song and dance troupe is willing to cooperate with the police investigation. After understanding, the deceased Zhang Jing had a conflict with the members of the song and dance troupe the day before his disappearance.At around 5 a.m. the next morning, before dawn, an energy-saving lamp was hung at the door of the song and dance troupe’s tent. Da Bing and Xiao Wu saw Zhang Jing standing alone under the bus sign by the light. The two girls were frightened. After a jump, I thought I saw a ghost, but after careful identification, I realized that it was the woman who had quarreled during the day.

This was the last time witnesses saw the deceased. Zhang Jing was carrying a satchel and wearing a hat, and looked as if she was about to travel far. His wife ran away from home in the middle of the night, Liu Wei was still sleeping at the time, and he did not call the police a few days after his disappearance. These abnormal behaviors aroused the vigilance of the special case team.After asking again and again, Liu Wei hesitated to speak. After hesitating, he told the special case team that Zhang Jing might have gone to petition. Five years ago, they had a son who died of tuberculosis after treatment at the First People's Hospital in the provincial capital. Zhang Jing believed that this was an abnormal death due to medical malpractice.Normal channels failed to resolve the dispute, so Zhang Jing began to appeal to the provincial government, holding up banners, sleeping on the streets, and blocking gates, but the problem was still not resolved. return.

Liu Wei said: "I advise the mother-in-law not to go, it's useless, the arms can't twist the thighs." Hualong said, "Why don't you go to appeal with your wife?" Liu Wei said: "I have been there before, and I was detained, so I dare not go again." Su Mei said: "Zhang Jing petitioned, why did she set off secretly before dawn, and didn't even tell you?" Liu Wei said: "There are people in the township, county, city, and province who intercept interviews. If they are discovered, they will not be allowed to go." What are petitions and interceptions?

We might as well extract a passage from the "Legal Evening News" to explain: "Citizens' petitioning is a basic right granted to citizens by the Constitution. In fact, it is a naked violation of the Constitution and the law. The most terrifying and worst thing about interception is that it can illegally restrict the personal freedom of citizens without any legal procedures. If the circumstances are serious, it may constitute a criminal offense of illegal detention. For a long time, illegal interception There are a lot of interviews, but it is extremely rare to be held criminally responsible.”

Most of the petitioners are vulnerable groups who were victims of conflicts of interest with those in power in the local government. Intercepting visits is an act of individual local governments, which is illegal and does exist, and most of them have not been properly handled. The special case team felt that the situation was serious, and the complexity of this case was beyond imagination. Professor Liang deployed a new task. Hualong and Su Mei went to the provincial capital hospital to investigate the dispute between Zhang Jing and the hospital. Bao Zhan and the small police officers pretended to be Liu Wei's family members and accompanied Liu Wei to Beijing to appeal. whereabouts.

Liu Wei is cowardly and cowardly, worried that he will be arrested and beaten for petitioning, so he is not willing to cooperate. Bao Zhan managed to get through Liu Wei's ideological work, but before leaving, Liu Wei hesitated again. Liu Wei said: "My baby died. My mother-in-law went to ask for an explanation, but she was killed again. Can I come back alive?" Bao Zhan said, "Show your courage to cut your own arm with an axe. Besides, we two policemen are with you, so what are you afraid of?" A few days later, Zhang Jing's funeral arrangements were completed, and Bao Zhan and Xiaoxie police changed into plain clothes and accompanied Liu Wei on the road. In this place, petitioning and intercepting interviews is a process of fighting wits and courage, no less than a blockbuster spy movie. The local interceptors set up several blockades. The first is at the train station. Once they find petitioners, they will be sent away forcibly.The local government focuses on monitoring individual petitioners, obtains photos, mobile phone numbers, and travel information, and intercepts them before they enter Beijing. Bao Zhan, police officer Xiaoxie, and Liu Wei witnessed an interception incident in the waiting hall. A few potbellied cadre-like people whispered, and then rushed to an old man who was waiting in line for ticket inspection. A cadre took out a photo to confirm his identity, put his arm around the old man's shoulder and asked a few questions with a smile. The old man first argued loudly that he was going out to see relatives, But after they dug out the petition materials from the bag, they were discouraged and were taken away without any resistance. The little Xie policeman said, "Why didn't the old man call the police?" Liu Wei said, "What's the use? There might be a policeman among those few people." Bao Zhan said, "What do you usually do with it after you bring it back?" Liu Wei said: "Enter the 'study class'." Bao Zhan said, "What is a study class?" Liu Wei had lingering fears about this word. He stared at a place in a daze, then put his head in his hands and said nothing. The three of Bao Zhan arrived in Beijing smoothly. As the number one historical city, the center of politics and culture, behind the bustling is also an unknown dilapidation.A village near a certain station gathers petitioners from all over the country, and the misery of each village is adjacent to each other, forming a "village of petitioners".Almost all the bungalows here are black hotels without a business license, they are extremely simple, and they only cost a few yuan per night, which can be described as the lowest price in the country.Even so, many petitioners have no money to stay. They built simple shacks under the walls and in the alleys with cardboard and plastic sheets they picked up. Here, petitioners are forcibly taken away by interceptors almost every day. The three of Bao Zhan took Zhang Jing's photo and asked around, and the information they got was exciting. A hotel owner confirmed that Zhang Jing had been here before, but his whereabouts were unknown. The next day, the three of Bao Zhan went to the National Complaints and Visits Reception Station, which is also where Zhang Jing must come. During the 100-meter journey into the registration hall, the three of Bao Zhan encountered several interrogations by interceptors.As soon as Liu Wei opened his mouth, more than a dozen people who spoke the same dialect as him rushed over. One of them was wearing a badge of the Beijing Office of a certain place, and immediately grabbed Liu Wei's arm. He caught Bao Zhan and the little policeman, and pushed them into a white Iveco. The three of Bao Zhan were sitting in the back seat, and there were several people in the car wearing "special service" uniforms, all wearing steel helmets, with serious expressions. A man who looked like a secret service captain, with a metal detector in his hand, asked Bao Zhan and the others to hand over their mobile phones and ID cards. The policeman asked, "Who are you?" The special service captain replied blankly: "No comment." Liu Wei said, "Where are you taking us?" The captain still said: "No comment." Bao Zhan couldn't bear it anymore and said: "You are violating human rights, let us go." A Secret Service warned: "Fuck me, be quiet, you will die if you don't." Just as Bao Zhan was about to say something, the captain was furious and punched him on the mouth. Blood flowed from the corner of Bao Zhan's mouth, and one of his front teeth fell out.
