Chapter 97: Providence (Revised Edition)

The winter sun goes down very early, at five o'clock, the sunset has been obliquely shining, the snow on the top of the distant mountains, reflecting the afterglow of the sunset, adding a few extremely beautiful colors to the sky, people can't help but admire, the magic and beauty of nature.

At sunset, a black off-road vehicle with a police license plate sped by, although it was a winding country road, the road condition was not too good, but the car was driving fast and steady, it was obvious that in addition to the superior performance of the car, the driver's skills were also quite skilled.

The driver was a man with a Chinese face, about forty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a green beard on his chin, giving people a sense of vicissitudes.

But what is a little surprising is that the epaulettes of the first-class police inspector on the man's shoulders are shining, in Huachuan, let alone a deputy position of a city bureau or a county bureau, that is also a well-known real power figure, it stands to reason that travel does not say that the front and back hugs, the followers gather, and will not personally drive, unless he has a special hobby in this area, or the person in the car, more honorable than his identity, so that he can not hesitate to lower his own value and come to act as this driver.

Sitting in the passenger seat, is a girl with short hair with ears, looks soft and weak, but the eyes are particularly sharp, the man still remembers, when the girl saw himself for the first time, an inexplicable fear spontaneously arises, as if he was bound by a poisonous snake, the hair on his body stands on end, until he thinks about it now, he is still afraid, and the girl, but also try to keep a distance, but this girl seems to be very indifferent, except for that glance, it seems that there is no use to look at him with a straight eye.

When I could inadvertently catch a glimpse of the graceful and glamorous lady sitting in the back seat from the rearview mirror, the man's heart beat a few times, and he couldn't suppress the tension and excitement, and it seemed that even his legs and stomachs were a little tendoned.

His name is Wan Changpeng, is the director of the Pinghai County Public Security Bureau, a real leader, although he did not go to the political and legal committee, but in Pinghai this acre of three points of land, it is also said that the master is the same, less than forty years old, can sit in this position, in addition to his own efforts, and the support of the provincial deputy director Chen, also has an inseparable connection, when he was still in the army, he used to be the head of Chen's order, transferred into the public security system, but also Deputy Director Chen helped, but Deputy Director Chen is also about to retire, This makes Wan Changpeng a little anxious on weekdays, once he loses this solid backer, it is almost impossible for him to go further, and it is not bad to be able to sit firmly in his current position.

To be honest, Wan Changpeng didn't know what the origin of Mrs. Chen from this capital was, but seeing that Deputy Director Chen, who he regarded as a celestial, was respectful and careful in front of this Mrs. Chen, he knew that as Deputy Director Chen said, his opportunity had come.

This Mrs. Chen, in fact, looks like she is in her thirties, but the kind of noble temperament that seems to be born with is not daring to look directly, after getting in the car, she didn't say a word, just looked at the scenery outside the window from time to time, and after a long time, she asked with some surprise: "Xiao Wan, are you sure it's here, you can't be mistaken,"

Mrs. Chen's age looks obviously younger than Wan Changpeng, but this sentence of Xiao Wan made Wan Changpeng's heart bloom, and he was so excited that he couldn't help but step on the accelerator under his feet, but fortunately he found it in time, so he quickly reduced the speed of the car, and his face also showed a smile that was extremely inconsistent with his usual serious expression, and said: "Hehe, it won't be wrong, there will be more than ten minutes to arrive, my hometown is also near here, very familiar, although I haven't come back for three or four years, but I can find it even with my eyes closed,"

Mrs. Chen nodded slightly, and said politely: "It's really troublesome for you this time,"

"No trouble, no trouble," Wan Changpeng looked radiant, and seemed to be ten years younger: "This little thing, it's just a gesture," Fortunately, he still remembered Deputy Director Chen's advice, and he didn't get too carried away, and he didn't chatter as if he was invited, which made this Mrs. Chen a little more favorable, but she didn't say anything more, and turned her head to look at the scenery outside the car window.

Being able to say these two sentences to Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen can still remember her surname Wan, which has made Wan Changpeng very excited, but what surprised him a little is that from beginning to end, the expression on Mrs. Chen's face has always been a little dignified, and the closer she gets to the destination, the more complicated it becomes, like some expectations, and seems to be a little apprehensive, and I can't help but wonder a little in my heart, what kind of thing can make this high-profile Mrs. Chen entanglement become difficult to become like this, it must be related to the person she is looking for this time.

But he just thought about it casually, and he didn't dare to continue thinking about it at all, many times, it is not a good thing to be smart, from the time he received this task, Wan Changpeng kept admonishing himself like this in his heart.

After a while, after the car turned a small hill pass, a village gradually appeared in view, the smoke curling, and then blown away by the evening wind, disappeared into the afterglow of the setting sun, accompanied by the birds flying in the air from time to time, very poetic.

This is a rare sight in the countryside of Pinghai, the development of Pinghai in Tianhe City, has always been among the best, relatively wealthy villages, cooking many of them do not use earthen pots and stoves, but mostly use gas canisters or electrical appliances.

Wan Changpeng slowly slowed down the speed of the car, and just wanted to tell Mrs. Chen, but when he saw a police van parked on the side of the road at the head of the village, and the police lights were flashing, his face suddenly changed, and he almost scolded his mother in his heart.

At this time, it seemed that the people in the police car also saw the car, and soon a pot-bellied policeman came down, nodded and greeted him, his face was full of smiles, he habitually went to the back seat, but suddenly saw Wan Changpeng actually sitting in the driver's seat, he was stunned, and after a while, he stammered and shouted: "Director Wan, you, you ......"

Wan Changpeng glared at him, and just wanted to get angry, but he glanced at Mrs. Chen in the back row from the rearview mirror, held back the fire, turned his head and changed his face to a smile, and said: "Mrs. Chen, I'll go and ask about the situation, and I'll come back immediately,"

Mrs. Chen nodded undeniably, and Wan Changpeng got out of the car with relief, as if he was still relieved, and the pot-bellied policeman couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Chen with some surprise, and his heart was full of questions, who is this woman, Director Wan, the director of the county public security bureau, how can she be like a primary school student seeing a teacher in front of her.

Pushing the car door, the cold wind hit in, and his face hurt, but Wan Changpeng couldn't care about it at all at this time, and hurriedly dragged the pot-bellied policeman to the side, and scolded in a low voice: "What's the matter with you, didn't I tell you to drive lightly, don't be so public?"

The police shouted that he was wronged, he was Cui Pingyuan, the director of the local Dayuan Town Police Station, since Director Wan ordered on the phone, he brought a driver and hurried over, which is quite public, but seeing that Director Wan's face was not good, where did he dare to argue, he just scratched his head, and laughed a few words.

Wan Changpeng hated it so much, but he didn't want to say anything, so he asked in a deep voice: "Did anyone find it for me?"

"Found it," Cui Pingyuan immediately came to his senses and said: "I have inquired clearly, the Lin Yanyu you are looking for in the Wanju Bureau lives in the east of this Hongying Village, and it has only been five or six years since she moved here, and she also has a son, I heard that it seems to work in the Dongping government, but it is not clear what she does,"

Wan Changpeng was silent in his heart, it seemed that the situation was about the same, and he breathed a sigh of relief, this Mrs. Chen has come down, if you don't find the person you are looking for, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain, of course, maybe others won't say anything, but the impression in my heart will definitely be greatly discounted.

"You lead the way in front," Wan Changpeng thought for a while, and then scolded with a calm face: "Turn off the police lights, for fear that others won't know that you are a policeman,"

Cui Pingyuan answered, and ran forward, for the director of a small local police station like him, it is not very easy to get the reprimand of the county bureau, not to mention that in Pinghai, everyone knows that if Wanju really wants to reprimand you, then it will be troublesome, it is very likely that in his mind, there is no need to reprimand.

When the car slowly drove into the village, it attracted the attention of many people, although now the countryside is rich, Pinghai Village has a road, and some people who got rich first have also raised cars, which is no longer the situation more than ten years ago, but there are police cars on the road, for their remote village, it is a little unusual.

The car entered the village from the west end of the village, but Lin Yanyu's house was at the east end of the village, almost across the entire village, and then to the east was the crop field, the large courtyard surrounded by the red wall, and a large bungalow in the courtyard could be faintly seen.

The car slowly stopped at the door, and there were many curious villagers in the distance, seeing the car parked at the door of Lin's house, they couldn't help but talk about it, they had long heard that this Lin Wa'er mixed well in Dongping, and many people didn't believe it, but seeing all this in front of them, everyone couldn't help but believe it, and some people smacked their lips and said: "You don't see it, I have long said that Lin Wa'er has a good face, is sensible and well-behaved, and sooner or later it will be developed......"

Cui Pingyuan pushed the car door down, habitually and majestically glanced around, as if he wanted to find the outlaw in the crowd, and perhaps out of fear of the police, he was swept by his gaze, and his eyes were all frightened and evaded, but soon, he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly ran towards the car behind, diligently trying to open the door for Wan Changpeng, that action made Xiao Yang, the policeman who acted as his driver, stunned, and couldn't think of Cui Suo, who usually hurts this and that pain, and has a herniated lumbar disc. It turned out that the action was so swift.

Unexpectedly, Wan Changpeng got out of the car one step ahead of him, bypassed the car again, and wanted to open the door for Mrs. Chen, and almost ran into Cui Pingyuan halfway, so he glared at him fiercely, if it wasn't for Mrs. Chen, he would have kicked it twice.

At this time, the girl in the passenger seat also jumped out of the car, stared around with some alertness, and then pulled the car door, and the graceful and luxurious Mrs. Chen slowly got out of the car.

Mrs. Chen looked up at this ordinary farmhouse courtyard, her heart was pounding, and the hand hanging on her chest was trembling slightly, she was eager to open the door, but she felt a trace of fear inexplicably, many memories that had long been sealed in the dust, at this moment, like a flash flood, surging, swirling in her mind, for a while, her eyes were a little moist.

"Yo, Director Cui, you're a rare guest, you haven't been to our village for a long time, are you engaging in corruption outside all day long, and forget about us," an old man in his fifties greeted him with a smile, and greeted him warmly: "I'll call someone to slaughter a sheep, let's have a few drinks, don't want to leave if you don't drink this time,"

The old man is the party secretary of the village, and the two of them are very familiar with each other because of their work relationship, and they are not seen outside each other, and they are also one of the main jobs at the grassroots level.

If it was before, of course Cui Pingyuan would have laughed with the old branch secretary, and maybe there would be some colored meat jokes, but at this time, he could only smile dryly, and glanced at Wan Changpeng with some weakness, only to see that he didn't seem to pay attention to this side at all, and then gradually calmed down.

The iron gate of the courtyard was closed, Wan Changpeng glanced at Mrs. Chen, stepped forward again, knocked lightly on the iron door a few times, and then asked loudly, "Is anyone home?"

No one answered in the courtyard, but I heard the old branch secretary shouting: "You are looking for Sister Lin, she is not at home, a few days ago, Lin Waer picked her up and went to Dongping to play......"

Wan Changpeng's face changed suddenly when he heard this, so he turned his head and glared at Cui Pingyuan fiercely, looking at the appearance of gritting his teeth, it seemed that he wanted to break Cui Pingyuan's body into pieces.

Cui Pingyuan was also dumbfounded, he inquired and inquired, people live here, but where do you think about it, people will not be there, I want to squeeze out a smile, but it is more ugly than crying, and stammered: "Ten thousand, ten thousand ......"

Who knew that Wan Changpeng didn't look at him, but just said to Mrs. Chen: "Mrs. Chen, I'm really sorry for ......" His face was extremely ugly.

Mrs. Chen stared at the closed iron door, and only after a while did she sigh lightly and muttered, "Could it be that this is the will of heaven......"
