Chapter 939 Tired of it
Zila...
The mutton with oily edges exudes a charming aroma stimulated by cumin and chili.
Jiang Hao turned the skewer of mutton, took a deep breath, and said to Jiang Yuan: "It seems that the cumin plant has a grudge against sheep. If it didn't grow this flavor on purpose, we wouldn't be able to eat so much mutton."
"The whole family must have been eaten by wild sheep." Mu Zhiyang moved a chair and sat next to him, taking a sip of beer and a bite of mutton, he really was in a festive mood.
Jiang Hao liked Mu Zhiyang's style very much. He also clinked his beer with him and said with a smile, "The wild goats ate the ancestors of Cumin. Cumin's persistent mutation over the years has finally brought prosperity to domestic goats and sheep. It's sad and beautiful."
"Brother Hao is quite artistic. You can consider building a homestay in this mountain. If you meet people who eat steamed buns and pickles, you can give them a free meal. You can also treat them to some roasted lamb or something. In the end, you can create a reputation for Jiali Village as the timely rain."
"Song Jianghao, huh? You know what, this name sounds pretty good." Jiang Hao was happy: "Song Jiang used to be an official in the county, right? I wonder what rank he was at?"
When serious people read Water Margin, they only look at the instructor of the 800,000 imperial guards and his beautiful wife. No good person would study Song Jiang's level.
After a few seconds of silence, the oldest Meng Chengbiao came to the rescue and said, "Song Jiang is a bailiff, one level lower than the deputy county magistrate, but higher than the leader of the bureau. He is equivalent to the chief secretary of the agency."
"At least two levels higher than Political Commissar Huang." Mu Zhiyang concluded.
Several people present laughed and clinked their beer bottles. Being able to say something bad about the company's leaders in this remote and pleasant place is the joy that team building should have.
Song Jianghao grilled some mutton skewers and then sat up to enjoy them. He usually brought his men with him when he went camping, otherwise he couldn't drive two camping cars by himself, not to mention the problem of driving under the influence. Barbecue and the like were fun to do occasionally, but if it became a job, it would be a pain.
Jiang Yuan also had two skewers of barbecue and a glass of cold beer. It was rare that there was no case today. The old man Fang Mingfeng's report was, as Meng Chengbiao said, somewhat specious. The main reason was that the suspected victim was a young man who loved to travel on a budget, which reduced the importance of the case by more than one level.
There are many types of disappearances, including unconscious disappearances, active disappearances, and passive disappearances. If the person is elderly or sick, the police may need to handle unconscious disappearances, but that is basically the task of the police station, and it is not a criminal case, which is what the criminal police call a "case."
The situation of active disappearance is more complicated. There are active disappearances of teenagers and active disappearances caused by family discord. Similar to cases of unconscious disappearances, cases of active disappearance rarely come to the hands of criminal police.
What criminal police really need to pay attention to are cases of passive disappearances, but as a backpacker, Liu Yang took the initiative to leave the homestay and go into the mountains, so this cannot be considered a "passive" disappearance. At most, there may be a possibility of deception.
If it was just Liu Yang, Jiang Yuan might not even let Wang Chuanxing investigate. Wang Chuanxing's life was also his life, and he couldn't waste his time.
In other words, there is a basis for investigation only when there are multiple people in similar situations.
But it was just a foundation. Under normal circumstances, even if it was a case, it would not be brought to Jiang Yuan's backlog team. Changle City had limited funds and wanted to use the best steel on the blade, so they kept trying to retain Huang Qiangmin and kept negotiating the price.
Even if Liu Yang is missing, to be frank, the possibility that his case will receive the highest level of attention is close to zero unless the body can be found. Or to put it more politely, because the possibility of Liu Yang's disappearance is doubtful, even if he is missing, the possibility of forced disappearance is low, and even if he is forced to disappear, the possibility of death is low, so his case is unlikely to be sent to Jiang Yuan immediately.
If Jiang Yuan's backlog case task force invested thousands of man-hours, and only found Liu Yang coming out of the woods with a bag on his back and a confused look on his face, they would be really stunned.
"Give me some grilled wings." Shen Yaowei brought over his latest creation.
"Wow, it's baked well." Jiang Yuan gave a thumbs up as soon as he saw the crispy and yellow surface.
Shen Yaowei chuckled twice and said, "I used to be a playboy, too."
"That doesn't seem to be a good word either." Wang Chuanxing came over, holding a notebook, and stood in front of Jiang Yuan, whispering, "The names and phone numbers provided by the B&B owner are all unreachable. I checked and found that the names and phone numbers match, but the phones of the first two people have not been used for a while, basically they were deactivated after they disappeared. There is no new phone number either..."
Wang Chuanxing's additional investigation attracted Jiang Yuan's attention.
Nowadays, it is impossible for people, especially ordinary people, not to have a mobile phone card in their name. If the old mobile phone number is no longer used, at least a new mobile phone card will be available. In fact, even if you go abroad, the domestic mobile phone number is still very useful, at least you need to be able to receive verification codes.
It can be said that even those who travel on a budget can travel to all the mysterious and strange corners of the world without saying a word, and can be away from their parents, wives and daughters, but they cannot leave the embrace of mobile phone operators.
"Do you want to investigate this case?" Meng Chengbiao strolled over with a beer in his hand and said, "He may not be dead, but he is definitely not in a normal state. Maybe it's a pyramid scheme, or a cult, or human trafficking, or maybe it's a drug dealer buying people, or is there a black gold mine in the mountain?"
"Organs?" Shen Yaowei wanted to do something big.
Meng Chengbiao said based on his experience: "Organs are easier to get in big cities. It's hard to get in and out of the deep mountains and old forests here. It's hard to hide if something happens. It's more convenient to bury people, but they want to make money, not kill people. Many people just take a kidney or something... Besides, it's not easy to find a doctor..."
"Old Meng is an honest man." Shen Yaowei looked at Meng Chengbiao's serious analysis and handed him a skewer of mutton.
"I'll report to Political Commissar Huang and Lang Zhi first." Jiang Yuan was not in a hurry to make a decision. Not to mention that they did not have the power to file a case in Changle City, even if it was a case, they were not so nervous that they had to handle it immediately.
The missing persons are all young men. They all carried their own backpacks into the mountains and took public transportation to Jiali Village. Based on this, there is still a lot of room for change in the case.
Huang Qiangmin and Lang Heng were sitting together. Jiang Yuan called them and reported the situation to them.
Lang Heng smiled and said, "I'll have someone check it out first. If it's a case, I'll send someone to investigate. Jiang Yuan, don't work on this case. If you've had a good rest, you can work on cases that we ordinary police officers can't handle."
"I'll rest for a few days and then go back to work." Jiang Yuan went out for nothing this time, and he came out with emotional intelligence.
This case was not even a priority for Lang Heng, the captain of the criminal police detachment in Changle City, nor for the criminal police brigade of the county bureau. If the normal process was followed, the police station would first file a case, and after investigation, if it was confirmed to be a case, it would depend on the severity of the case and whether it should be transferred to the criminal police team.
If they encounter a few people establishing a new dynasty in the mountains, or recruiting refugees under the guise of crossing Linggao, deceiving believers into donating property, and falsely claiming that D-Day is coming and everyone is a veteran of the new world, a few police officers from the police station will go there and the situation will collapse. There will be no need for the criminal police team to come specially, and they will still have to ask the police from the police station to show them the way.
Just as Jiang Yuan was about to end the call, Liu Jinghui's voice came from the other end of the line: "Are these three or four missing people all staying in the same B&B owner's shop? This owner took the initiative to call the police. What's so special about his B&B that all the missing people are staying there?"
"Is the price relatively cheap?" Jiang Yuan said uncertainly, "128 per night, and you can bargain down to 100."
"That's about the price in Jiali Village." Lang Heng knew a little about it.
"In that case... will it be universal?" Jiang Yuan also easily came to this conclusion.
Liu Jinghui said: "It can be considered as a direction of investigation. If it is indeed universal, then we should investigate why these people came and how they came. If it is not universal, then we should ask what is special about it."
Liu Jinghui said, "It's still difficult to find out where they went. We climbed Wulong Mountain together. It's not a case of that level. We haven't exhausted all other avenues. There's no need to investigate directly."
He was worried that Jiang Yuan would go into the mountains while camping. Not to mention how difficult it would be to track them down along the way, if there really was a criminal group inside, these twenty or so people didn't even have guns, and they might be shot like deer.
Jiang Yuan agreed and said, "Let Lang Zhi investigate first, and we'll talk about it when something happens. Liu Chuni is with Political Commissar Huang? Do you want to come camping together?"
The second half of Jiang Yuan's sentence roughly means "blink if you're kidnapped."
Liu Jinghui coughed twice and said, "Your Political Commissar Huang is trying to tie things up, and the provincial department has no objection. I'll follow and listen."
Jiang Yuan laughed and ended the call happily.
The next half day was uneventful, just eating skewers, drinking, lying down, chatting and browsing the phone.
By the time everyone got tired of playing and packed up to leave, it was already dark.
Several cars were lined up in a long line, and a few poor kids who didn't drink alcohol drove them out of the mountain staggeringly.
Jiang Yuan fell asleep in a daze while sitting in the car.
"Captain Jiang." Mu Zhiyang called softly from the side.
"Well...are we there yet?" Jiang Yuan sat up straight.
"Someone is following us." Mu Zhiyang pinched the empty belt and spoke in a low voice.
