As a local policeman, is it appropriate for you to take over the job of a criminal policeman?

"Then why don't you go?" the young man hesitated and asked in confusion.

The old man stamped his feet to drive away the chill on his body, and laughed: "I want to do that too, but the problem is that people despise me because I'm too old, and they will only let us do odd jobs when there's no one around."

As he spoke, he looked at the young man with envy and murmured, "Do you think strong laborers like you are in high demand everywhere?"

The old man's words seemed to give the young man more confidence, and his face became optimistic.

"Where did it come from?" the old man continued to ask boredly.

"Monthly savings." The young man replied.

"Haha." The old man chuckled, "What a great place. It must be a big deal. Otherwise, there would be no need to come to this poor mountain valley."

The young man's face darkened and he stopped talking, as if he had something to hide.

The old man stopped talking and said calmly, "Young man, take care of yourself here. I hope to see you next time."

The young man lowered his head, and a gleam of light flashed in his pupils.

The old man didn't say much, but what he said was shocking, which showed that the problems in Aisan County were really serious and Fang Weiguo was right to ask him to come.

I felt that it was the right thing to do to sneak in quietly, otherwise I would definitely not have gotten this kind of information.

This person was Ye Lin. He was borrowed by Fang Weiguo after a phone call. Fang Weiguo didn't know the specific situation, but just gave a few general words, so Ye Lin decided to hide his identity and come to Aisan County.

After a preliminary understanding, he thought that he should portray himself as a homeless person. He didn't expect that the old man would suddenly identify him as a criminal. So he decided to treat himself as a criminal.

Only by sinking into the darkest place can you uncover the deepest dark night.

At this moment, a customer came in to recruit laborers. The old man went over and successfully got on the work cart. Before leaving, he turned back to look at Ye Lin with a meaningful look on his face.

Ye Lin continued to pretend to be confused and watched the old man leave.

At the other end of the labor market, Ye Lin's arrival had already attracted the attention of two people. After discussing it, they walked straight towards Ye Lin.

Ye Lin pretended to be a little resistant and confused, and shrank back vigilantly.

The two men smiled friendly, and one of them took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one over.

Ye Lin hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head.

The man smiled and said, "It's okay, little brother. I won't charge you any money. When you go out, you have to make friends."

After saying that, he stuffed the cigarette into Ye Lin's hand and lit the lighter.

Ye Lin pretended to be a little panicked, put the cigarette in his mouth, leaned over to light it, took a deep breath, and his whole face relaxed.

The man smiled with satisfaction and ordered some for himself and the other two.

"My name is Peng Yong, this is Cai Rong. We both came here to go to the mine. Are you interested in going together?" Peng Yong seemed to be very familiar with everyone.

Ye Lin's eyes showed eagerness, and he whispered, "I want to go too. I heard that the miners here earn quite well."

"That's right, brother." Peng Yong patted Ye Lin on the shoulder.

After smoking a cigarette, I felt that the distance between us was shortened a lot.

"Then you come with us. If there are three of us, we can negotiate the price." Peng Yong continued.

"Negotiate the price?" Ye Lin pretended to be ignorant.

Peng Yong chuckled, "Little brother, are you here because of something?"

Ye Lin nodded calmly. After the old man's instructions, he pretended to be someone who had committed a crime so that people would not be on guard against him.

"Don't be afraid, it's the same for us brothers. The price is lower without an ID card, but if the three of us go together, the price will be much higher. And we can take care of each other and won't be bullied." Peng Yong explained.

Cai Rong, who was standing on the side, continued, "Yeah, you don't know. Not only do you have to fight the boss here, but the miners also form gangs with each other. If you are alone, you will be easily bullied, and then you will lose all your money."

Ye Lin pretended to hesitate. After all, if two strangers came to his door directly, it would be impossible for him to just agree and leave.

Seeing Ye Lin start to hesitate, Peng Yong directly put his arm around Ye Lin's shoulders and said softly: "We brothers are not lying to you. We just like your sturdy physique. If we really fight, we can beat you."

Having said that, Ye Lin immediately showed an expression of understanding, and said proudly: "Then I am still good at fighting. I can beat several people in my hometown."

"That's right. I told you that you can fight, brother." Cai Rong flattered him a few times.

"Then I haven't asked yet, what's your name, brother?"

"Ye Lin."

"Then Brother Ye, let's go have a meal together, and then we'll take you to the mine. We know a place that's hiring."

"Eat?" Ye Lin showed an embarrassed expression.

The two understood immediately that this meant they had no money, so they smiled generously and said, "We'll treat you this time, you can treat us back next time after you get paid."

"Oh, okay. I will definitely treat you two brothers for a drink." Ye Lin promised happily.

"Let's go."

The two of them took Ye Lin and left the labor market directly. The rest of the people looked at this scene indifferently and shook their heads slightly.

The two were quite generous and took Ye Lin out for a meal with meat and wine. When Ye Lin saw the meat, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help swallowing.

Peng Yong saw all of this. He waved his hand and said, "Let's start eating. Don't be polite. We brothers still have this little money."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Lin grabbed a chicken leg and started to chew it. With one bite, the big piece of chicken was torn apart, and the unique aroma of chicken emanated, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Ye Lin finished a chicken leg in just three bites and stuffed it into his mouth and gobbled it up.

Peng Yong couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said, "Damn, watching you eat makes me hungry."

The three of them finished the meal in no time. The two of them toasted with a few glasses of wine. Ye Lin pretended that he couldn't drink much, and after drinking a few glasses, he had a bit of a tongue twister.

After eating and drinking, the two men helped Ye Lin out, got on the bus, and headed straight towards Mosha Township.

Along the way, the two of them kept saying this to Ye Lin, and occasionally they would say a few words in their local dialect.

Ye Lin pretended to look out the window and his mind started to work.

These two people are definitely not good people. They must have some ulterior motive for coming to me suddenly.

But he didn't know what they were doing for the time being, and Ye Lin was also not sure whether it was related to the mine bone case that Fang Weiguo was investigating.

The car slowly drove into Mosha Township. The closer we got to the township, the more coal trucks we encountered on the road. Large trucks loaded with coal were driving fast on the road.
