I, Sun Liancheng, have the universe in my heart, Zhong Xiaoai admires me

Chapter 40 The Mysterious Village on Lone Eagle Ridge

Maybe it's because I haven't chatted with anyone for a long time.

The old man had a very happy chat with Sun Liancheng.

Before they knew it, they were chatting until the evening.

The old man became even more excited when he learned that Sun Liancheng was a college student.

"Great intellectual, don't call me uncle, just call me Lao Li. I, Lao Li, have always admired intellectuals the most."

"Then don't leave at night, Xiaosun. Wait for me to drive the sheep back and make a pot of mutton stew, and then we can have a drink together."

Sun Liancheng originally planned to find a place here to camp for one night.

If I don’t meet Qi Tongwei tomorrow, I will rush back to school.

For some things, you can only do your best and leave the rest to fate.

When Sun Liancheng heard about stewing mutton, he felt a little hungry as he hadn't eaten much all day.

"Then Mr. Baggage, I will stay at your place tonight."

Uncle Li asked Sun Liancheng to sit down first while he went to drive the sheep back.

After a while, he was driving a large flock of sheep, about seventy or eighty in total, big and small.

Sun Liancheng looked at the group of sheep and felt something was strange.

After driving the sheep into the sheep pen in the yard, Lao Li washed his face and went to the kitchen to work.

After a while, a pot of fragrant braised lamb was brought out.

Uncle Li put down the mutton and turned back into the house. When he came out, he had a bottle of Lao Baigan in his hand.

Grandpa Li said to Sun Liancheng with a smile: "Little Sun, let's drink two liang of wine together."

In the open courtyard, at a small table, Sun Liancheng and Uncle Li sat opposite each other.

Uncle Li poured Sun Liancheng a glass of wine and said, "It's very cold in the mountains at night. Drinking something can keep you warm."

"Come on, let's have a drink first."

Sun Liancheng picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Uncle Li. The spicy taste of the wine made Sun Liancheng cough.

"Uncle Li, this alcohol is too strong."

Old Li looked at Sun Liancheng with a smile, "Young people can't drink strong liquor, eat some mutton quickly."

Sun Liancheng quickly picked up a piece of mutton and put it into his mouth.

Spicy and delicious!

"I have to say, Uncle Li, your mutton is really authentic."

"By the way, Uncle Li, we were talking about this village this afternoon. Why did everyone in the village suddenly move away? You haven't told me yet."

Lao Li took a sip of the wine and it made a sizzling sound.

"To be exact, they didn't move away, they were all arrested."

"Arrested?" Sun Liancheng asked in surprise, "The whole village was arrested?"

Lao Li put down his glass and said, "That's right. Don't you know that at that time, almost everyone in this village was dealing in drugs?"

"You can see this side of Lone Eagle Ridge. There is no road access and it is the junction of three provinces. The people are poor."

"When people are poor, they tend to think of crooked ideas. At first, there were only one or two families in the village who did it. Later, when they made money, others became jealous and started to do it."

"In the end, the government took all of this away. Those who deserved it should be shot, and those who deserved it should be imprisoned."

"It was a big scene. I heard that even helicopters came."

As Lao Li spoke, he picked up a piece of mutton and put it into his mouth.

After listening to what Lao Li said, Sun Liancheng understood.

Then he looked at Lao Li and asked, "Are you from this village?"

"Haha..." Old Li tapped Sun Liancheng with his chopsticks, "Do you suspect that I'm a drug dealer who escaped?"

"That's not possible." Sun Liancheng said quickly:

Actually, it would be a lie to say that I have no doubts. There must be a reason why a man is hiding on Lone Eagle Ridge to herd sheep.

Old Li poured Sun Liancheng a glass of wine, as if recalling the past.

"Yes, I am from this village, but I don't sell drugs."

"Some people persuaded me to join them, but I have no children, so what do I do with the money?"

"And I know that the money is not money, but a death warrant."

"After they were arrested, I couldn't bear to leave the place where I had lived all my life, so I started herding sheep here."

Seeing Lao Li's expression when he spoke, Sun Liancheng realized that he was probably not lying.

If he was really a drug dealer, he would have been shot long ago.

Sun Liancheng raised his glass and clinked it with Lao Li, "Uncle Li, I toast to you."

After finishing a cup, Lao Li said mysteriously, "I'm telling you, Xiao Sun, you'll leave after daybreak."

"Why?" Sun Liancheng asked in confusion, "I was planning to take a look at this Lone Eagle Ridge."

Old Li leaned over and whispered, "That's what I said, and you just listened to it."

"There are a few fish that slipped through the net last time the government caught them, and they are back again. I know a few of them, and they are all from the same village."

"They said they were coming back to do the timber business, but I think they are probably just going back to their old business."

After listening to Lao Li's description, Sun Liancheng broke out in a sweat.

It turns out that in this dilapidated village, there is a secret base of drug dealers.

"Uncle Li, why didn't you call the police?"

"I don't have any evidence. Besides, they don't come here often." Lao Li said helplessly:

Unexpectedly, drug dealers appeared in Lone Eagle Ridge, which has been uninhabited for a long time.

Sun Liancheng thought of Qi Tongwei's mission and concluded that he was most likely here for them.

……

At the same time, an off-road vehicle took advantage of the night and hid on the road at the foot of Lone Eagle Ridge.

Qi Tongwei, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, took out a pair of binoculars.

Staring intently at the only way up the mountain of Lone Eagle Ridge.

Sitting in the driver's seat was Qi Tongwei's colleague Liu Wei.

Liu Wei came to the Narcotics Control Department a few years earlier than Qi Tongwei, and is also a few years older than Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei followed him when he came to the Narcotics Control Department, so he was considered Qi Tongwei's senior.

Liu Wei has strong business capabilities and professional skills, and has participated in many major operations.

Everyone in the unit is used to calling him Da Liu.

When a person is capable, he tends to have a bad temper, and Liu Cixin is no exception.

He is a notorious troublemaker in the unit and often bullies and glares at the unit leaders.

So he is not well received by his leaders.

Da Liu took out a cigarette, put it to his nose and smelled it, feeling satisfied.

Because smoking may produce flames and be easily discovered.

"Damn it, we have to do the job of keeping an eye on people every time."

After cursing, Liu put the cigarette back into the cigarette box.

"But it's true. One is a newcomer and the other is a troublemaker. If we don't do this job, who will?"

Qi Tongwei didn't say anything, but still held the telescope and stared straight ahead, afraid of missing anything.

Da Liu took out a box of biscuits and started eating, saying as he ate:

"Tongwei, I heard that your father-in-law is Secretary Liang. I just can't understand why you applied to come here?"

"There are so many good units waiting for you, such as the procuratorate and the court. If you really want to be a police officer, go to the provincial department. Isn't it Secretary Liang's fault?"

"You say you are suffering here, what's the point?"

Liu's words hit Qi Tongwei's soft spot.

He applied to join the Narcotics Division just to prove himself and didn't want others to think that he relied on his father-in-law.

He knew that after coming to this unit, many people had the same questions as Liu.

Why would he want to leave such a good company behind?

Qi Tongwei's expression was very serious. He didn't look at Liu Da, but continued to stare straight ahead.

"Can't I prove myself? Can't I move up step by step through my own efforts?"

Da Liu stuffed another biscuit into his mouth, as if he had heard a great joke.

"Okay, work hard. If you can make it to the top of our department, that's your end."
