Chapter 19 Chapter Eighteen

Many people were shocked to learn that Dahei was kidnapped on the night of New Year's Eve. Under the chairmanship of the secretary, the Hougou Village Committee held a meeting overnight to discuss solutions.However, the location of this emergency meeting was not at the Guandi Temple, but at the secretary's house. "Dahei has such a big incident, some people shouldn't gloat." The secretary deliberately looked at a deputy director who often had conflicts with Dahei, "No matter what, the last village committee election was the one that I voted for our village. Dahei, the coal boss in Beijing, encouraged him to come back to be the village chief. Some people said behind his back that I ate his food, which is pure nonsense. Today, to be honest, I want to use the money and connections in Dahei’s hands, Do some practical things for our village. Facts have proved that my choice at the beginning was not wrong. Each of you has benefited from Dahei. Our new village is about to be completed. But at this time, something happened to him ..."

As the secretary spoke, he became so excited that he could hardly continue, and looked at the security director with his eyes. The director of security understands that the secretary has set the tone, and he needs to add fire and help: "No matter what, even if strangers encounter disasters, we conscientious people should lend a hand. Besides, everyone Hei is still our village head. I know that Da Hei has a lot of bad habits of black coal mine owners, such as eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, etc., but you have to look at the overall situation and the essence..." Before the director of security and security finished his speech, a young deputy director promoted by Dahei interrupted him, and continued: "From the essence and the overall situation, Dahei is a good big brother. If you don't say anything else, just say a little bit. No one can compare to his generosity. Among us here, who can donate 20,000 to 30,000 yuan to each family, can’t we? I believe that only Dahei can do it, so the villagers trust him and choose him. He is the head of the village. Now that something happened to him, we have to do everything possible to save him, which is also considered as a reward for him. Whoever tries to play tricks behind his back, I will not be the first to spare him!"

The deputy director who usually fights against Dahei suddenly felt that everyone's speeches were almost directed at him. He knew that he had offended everyone, so he quickly changed the subject: "The secretary called us to have a meeting at midnight on New Year's Eve. In order to solve the problem of the unity of the village committee, but to save Dahei, I would like to make a statement here: as long as I know the whereabouts of Dahei, I will immediately lead a few militiamen to suppress those gangsters and rescue our village chief. ,How about it?" "This is how he looks like a deputy director." The secretary was completely relieved, "You analyze and analyze, who does Dahei usually offend? Why did they kidnap him? How can we find out his whereabouts?"

The security director thought about it for a long time, and although it was possible, he was not sure: "Is it related to coal?" The director of the Women's Federation immediately denied: "Impossible. The coal mining in our village did not offend anyone's interests, nor did we hire any outsiders. How could it be related to coal?" The director of public security continued to analyze along the original train of thought: "You should know that Dahei not only helped the village dig coal, but also bought and sold coal himself, did he owe money to other customers from other places, did not deliver the coal in time, and was kidnapped by others? ?”

"It's impossible." Dahei's confidant, the deputy director, expressed his opinion, "Dahei is in the coal business, but he has a principle in this business: as long as he receives money from others, he will definitely send it within a month. The goods are sent to other people. As far as I know, over the years, he has sent out more goods, but received less money, which means that only others owe him, and he does not owe others." The security director frowned: "Is there any possibility that the Shuiyugou coal mine will be auctioned after the next year, is it possible that someone kidnapped him and forced him to submit?"

The Youth League Party Secretary felt that this view was untenable: "If you want to know who are the people competing for mines, you will know that none of them would do such a stupid thing! Who are they? They are all as powerful as Guo Tianliang and Zhao Guozhong , People with background, especially behind them, involve many government officials, even if some people have evil intentions, those high officials will not allow them to do anything wrong." "No matter what you say, I stick to my point of view. This kidnapping must have something to do with coal." The security director insisted.

"What's the reason? There's no reason." The militia company commander also denied him. "When you see the result, you will know the reason." The security director replied. "If you wait until then, Dahei might not even be able to keep his head." The party secretary laughed, and then asked Dahei's cronies, "Apart from the villagers, does Dahei have any enemies in society?" "No, no." The deputy director replied without hesitation, "You also know Dahei. He usually likes to drink, sing, and make friends. Most of the time he pays for dinner, and rarely occupies people. Cheap, rarely offend friends."

"Yes." The deputy secretary of the village was very puzzled, "A person with a bold personality like Dahei usually won't offend others. In this respect, I still know him well." The director of the Women's Federation had a whim: "That guy Dahei likes to drink, so naturally he also likes women, right?" The confidant deputy director raised his eyelids: "Sister, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't go around the corner, I don't understand if you go around too much." "Then I'll just say it, it's also to save him, nothing else." The director of the Women's Federation said bluntly, "Before Dahei became the village chief, he was a rich coal mine owner. None of the current coal mine owners Those who don't go to the karaoke hall, did they occupy a woman and were kidnapped by other men after they found out?"

The confidant deputy director was asked all of a sudden, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly turned a corner. Everyone's gratitude and gratitude to Dahei quickly cooled down. The group secretary echoed: "Well, it's normal! Which man has money and doesn't want to have sex." "So, you kid already has this evil intention!" The security chief suddenly found a lustful person lurking beside him, "Do you often go to karaoke halls with Dahei?" "What's the matter, I mean Dahei!" The Youth League secretary hastily defended himself. "Don't talk so much nonsense!" The village party secretary, who hadn't spoken for a long time, felt a little angry, "Deputy director, you are with Dahei almost every day, in front of everyone, to be honest, does he often go to the karaoke hall, find Miss?"

"Do you have to say it?" The deputy director looked at the secretary again. "Of course, you can't lie!" The secretary's face was heavy. "Yes!" The deputy director's voice was very low and honest, and everyone heard it clearly. The atmosphere at the scene was very complicated.Those who are close to Dahei feel shameless; those who are far away from him are secretly happy. "Then does he have a girlfriend?" The secretary fixed his eyes on him like a knife. "Not in Coal City." The deputy director answered truthfully. "What about other places? He often runs outside!" The deputy director who often fought against Dahei felt that the opportunity had come.

"Stop rambling, it's not your turn to intervene!" The secretary reprimanded the ulterior motive viciously. "You ask me, who should I ask?!" Seeing the secretary looking at Dahei, the confidant deputy director was also anxious, "You all know that Dahei has always been alone when he goes out. I don’t know! You can’t force me to say irresponsible nonsense.” "I think this is the way to do it. Judging from the current situation, Dahei's situation in Coal City is relatively simple. He has neither enemies nor lovers. If we want to find out the reason for the kidnapping, we might as well focus on the people outside Dahei. Social relations, slowly find out some clues." When the security director said this, he seemed to be thinking of Dahei on the surface, but in fact he was secretly helping the secretary, and the two were old brothers for many years. The confidant deputy director reacted quickly: "I have a rough understanding of the social relations of the big black outside, and I will handle the investigation outside!" "It's none other than you!" The secretary finally made the overall arrangement, "The director of the Women's Federation and the secretary of the Communist Youth League will go to Dahei's house tomorrow morning to do a good job in the work of the elderly and daughter-in-law. Please remember: you can only say good things, don't make trouble; the security director I and I will go to the main leaders of the township and district to report in person tomorrow. The kidnapping of the village head during the Chinese New Year is a major event after all; thing!" After the secretary assigned the work, some people were resentful, some were anxious, some were anxious, some were annoyed, some blushed, and everyone reacted differently. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the village party secretary paid New Year greetings to Zhang Juhai, secretary of the district committee, and reported the kidnapping of Dahei. The coal boss is also a village cadre with great social influence, and currently the main thing is to control the spread of bad news and avoid causing social panic." The village party secretary nodded repeatedly and left the secretary's house. Yang Juan, Zhang Juhai's young lady and female boss, looked at the village secretary's leaving back, and muttered softly, "Could this shrewd old man be behind the scenes?" "What's the reason?" Zhang Juhai looked through the window, and the old man just stepped out of the door. "Coal." Yang Juan put her hands on her chest, "Now that the coal market is skyrocketing, whoever becomes the village head can control the benefits of all parties' tributes. As long as there are resources underground, no matter how poor the village is, the village head can earn two dollars." Never." "You don't understand. In the village, the secretary is the real top leader, and the village head is only the second in command. If he has that kind of mind, he can be the secretary and the village head. There is no need to bring Dahei in." Zhang Juhai looked at the crowd outside the door. Firecrackers on the ground. "People, the bigger the official position, the greater the power and courage, and they don't know how to avoid risks." Looking at the house full of flowers sent by people, Yang Juan looked very proud. "What do you mean?" Zhang Juhai turned around. "The secretary of the village party committee is a sesame official, and he knows how to avoid risks better than you." Yang Juan moved the blooming peonies to the middle of the room. "How to avoid risks?" Zhang Juhai found that the precious ornamental fish in the tank accelerated their swimming speed, probably because they were tempted by the fragrance of flowers in the house. "Arrange a puppet to collect the money at the front door, and then take out the money in the puppet's pocket at the back door. Doing this, with a firewall in between, is definitely much safer than getting money directly by yourself?" Yang Juan placed behind the peony flower. The bright red cuckoo asked, "Is Dahei the old man's puppet? I think he is a ghost." "Women are smart." Zhang Juhai helped her organize the flowers. "The old man has been with me for more than ten years. It is a fact that he is a good person, but his character is not a problem." "If you say that, Dahei's kidnapping is really a no-brainer case." Yang Juan took care of flowers, just like her own hair, full of creativity. After a while, all kinds of messy flowers at home appeared Layering and harmony. "People in the village suspect that Dahei was planted in the hands of women outside. Do you think it is possible?" Zhang Juhai finally sat on the sofa and admired the well-organized "sea of ​​flowers" at home. "Everyone doesn't know that woman Xuemei, but you do. Isn't it because of Xuemei?" "I don't think so." Yang Juan recalled that snow-white Northeast girl, and a group of unforgettable Tibetan mastiffs, "Since she followed Dahei, she felt very satisfied, and even the group of Tibetan mastiffs felt that they had found a good master, so they couldn't be happier. Come on, there is no need to retaliate against him." "Women are too outstanding, but they are also a disaster." Zhang Juhai said casually. "Who are you talking about?!" Yang Juan turned her head and asked sharply. "Of course it's Xuemei, that's needless to say." Zhang Juhai hurriedly explained, "Once a man owns a woman of stunning beauty, he owns the whole world and everything. Anyone who tries to touch her may be destroyed A disaster. Dahei touched Xuemei, isn't it possible that he will be retaliated by other men?" "Impossible!" Yang Juan recalled Xuemei's miserable life experience, "So far, Xuemei has only had two real contacts with men, one is her brother-in-law who raped her, and the other is Dahei. It is said that she That brother-in-law is cowardly and timid, he can't touch Dahei at all, and he doesn't dare to touch him!" "According to what you said, it really has become a case without a lead." Zhang Juhai thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, "I think it's better to tell Secretary Duan, Dahei knows him after all." Sanya, Hainan, Yalong Bay, five-star Shangri-La Hotel.Around the Spring Festival, many Shanxi coal bosses come here to celebrate the New Year, among them is Zhao Guozhong, whom we are very familiar with.Seeing his chic and relaxed appearance, we will naturally see another person who pursues relaxation and pleasure. He is Zhao Guozhong's inseparable "behind-the-scenes boss" - Duan Tiansheng, secretary of the municipal party committee, who also lives here. For busy people, as soon as the phone is turned on, there are always hundreds of calls coming in.Among them, there are generally very few calls to announce good news, but there are one after another for calls to report troubles and troubles.Especially for a municipal party secretary like Duan Tiansheng, who lives in a coal city with many troubles, disputes, harassment, and disasters... In order to get rid of those troubles, or deliberately keep a certain distance from those bad things, Duan Tiansheng himself has a mobile phone, It is rarely turned on, except in special circumstances.People who are familiar with Duan Tiansheng, if there is an emergency, they usually come to him through two channels, one is the secretary Xiaosun, and the other is Zhao Guozhong. During the Spring Festival, Secretary Xiaosun was on duty in Coal City, and to report the relevant situation, he had to go through Zhao Guozhong.Zhang Juhai, secretary of the district party committee, reported the news of Dahei's kidnapping to Duan Tiansheng, secretary of the municipal party committee, through Zhao Guozhong.At this moment, Duan Tiansheng just got out of the sea after swimming. "Dahei was kidnapped?!" Dahei and Duan Tiansheng knew each other after all, and Duan Tiansheng was more or less touched by Dahei's accident. "Notify the Municipal Public Security Bureau to quickly set up a task force to rescue the hostages as soon as possible." "At the moment, the police don't need to make any big moves." Zhao Guozhong seldom expresses his opinion on general matters. Regarding Dahei's kidnapping, he seems to have no intention of doing so, but he actively participated in it. "What do you mean? Bitter meat scheme? Debt escape scheme? Golden cicada escape shell scheme?" Duan Tiansheng wiped off the water on his body, lay down in the sun, and put a sun hat on his head. "Although Dahei is uneducated, he belongs to the kind of scumbag boss. He can be righteous and kind. He would not deliberately direct such a farce to avoid debts. Besides, he does not have that IQ." Zhao Guozhong, who was on the recliner, passed Visor straw hat, you can see the mottled sky. "You are also a coal boss. From your tone, I know the real reason why Dahei was kidnapped." Duan Tiansheng sensed from Zhao Guozhong's tone that he at least understood the situation. "I knew it during the Spring Festival last year." Zhao Guozhong smiled. "What? You knew it during the Spring Festival last year?" Duan Tiansheng was quite surprised, "Didn't Dahei have a good year last year? If you really want to know in advance, there is only one possibility." "What's possible?" Zhao Guozhong realized that the secretary was joking with him. "You are the real culprit behind the scenes! Otherwise, how could you have the foresight?" Duan Tiansheng pointed at him with a finger, and laughed loudly, "Did you plan it secretly since the Spring Festival last year?" "The people who planned and implemented this incident are not only Chinese, but also foreigners." Zhao Guozhong found that many foreigners were swimming naked on the beach in the distance. "So, you kid is still colluding with foreign criminals to commit transnational crimes?" From Zhao Guozhong's mouth, he found out that he knew the details of the matter, and Duan Tiansheng was not in a hurry to know the answer.In doing so, give yourself a guessing time as well. "They carry out kidnapping in the country and conduct transactions on the border between the two countries, especially some weak countries adjacent to China. This not only avoids China's legal crackdown, but those weak countries do not have enough control over the border, and there is nothing they can do about them. The location of the transaction is often the Sino-Russian border, the Sino-Myanmar border, and the Sino-Vietnamese border..." Zhao Guozhong described it in great detail, just like being there. "So, 'you' are engaged in a 'meat grinder scheme'." Duan Tiansheng is definitely a smart guy, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get such a high position, "'you' specifically target the kidnapping of the new rich in China To engage in kidnapping at home and ask their family members to pay abroad, right? Over the years, coal bosses in Shanxi have become famous, so 'you' started to use local materials?" "Leader, I beg you, don't just say 'you' and 'us'. I am not the same as them at all. Those kidnappers are all from Northeast or Hubei, and none of them are from Shanxi." Zhao Guozhong felt very sad. He worked so hard to provide the secretary with such valuable clues, but he kept joking casually. "Since it's not the same thing, why do you know so clearly? Why did you know last year? Why don't I know anything? If you can't produce evidence in your favor, it can only show that 'you' are in the same group. At the very least, you, Zhao Guozhong, will provide the kidnappers with a list of coal bosses in Shanxi, and they will carry out the kidnapping, and finally share the money at home and abroad." Duan Tiansheng, secretary of the municipal party committee, continued to joke. Zhao Guozhong took off his straw hat suddenly: "I really want to know why? I don't want to say it, it's embarrassing to say it." "Of course it's embarrassing. Zhao Guozhong, the dignified boss of Shanxi Big Coal Co., Ltd., cooperated inside and outside to kidnap his fellow villagers. It's not just a matter of embarrassment." "Leader, I understand why you are doing such a spoof?" Zhao Guozhong also guessed Duan Tiansheng's privacy. "why?" "You want to put the most exciting answer to the last, entertain yourself, and also me." Zhao Guozhong looked bitter. "Since you have guessed it, then tell me the final answer and see if it is different from what I imagined." Duan Tiansheng also threw the sun visor aside. "Secretary, you know, I spent last year in Beihai, Guangxi. In fact, I didn't have the heart to appreciate the scenery of the Silver Beach. Instead, I went to the high seas on the Sino-Vietnamese border. Redeem it back!" Zhao Guozhong was unwilling to disclose this matter, on the one hand for his own face, and on the other hand he was afraid when he thought about it. "Brother, I'm sorry, I made a big joke." Duan Tiansheng, secretary of the municipal party committee, never expected that Dahei's kidnapping happened to Zhao Guozhong's relatives last year. It was the first time he took the initiative in so many years. Apologize to others: "Please forgive my brother's recklessness."
