Captain Zhang did what he said. Not long after Xu Hou was taken away, the car arrived.
During the waiting period, Captain Zhang's cell phone kept ringing. He answered the phone in the room and issued one instruction after another.
When he was not answering the phone, he would turn the topic to Lin Shuyue's anti-wolf spray. Lin Shuyue told him the ratio, and as for the itchy ingredient, Lin Shuyue directly mentioned the pink daisy leaf.
The Itch Spray is produced in Future World, and its main ingredient is indeed the pink daisy leaf. However, to make the Itch Spray, the pink daisy leaf extract must be extremely pure. Even if 100 kilograms of pink daisy leaves can produce 10 milliliters of essence, it's quite good.
Lin Shuyue was not afraid of the police researching this. She was eager for them to research more. The emergence of these things would be a great means for girls to protect themselves.
It can also deter some criminals.
Captain Zhang didn't like flowers and plants and didn't know what pink daisy leaves were, but he carefully wrote down the formula that Lin Shuyue said. In order to make it easier for them to study, Lin Shuyue left a bottle of mixed spray for Captain Zhang.
"Captain Zhang, take it. It might be useful in your interrogation." Lin Shuyue had a hunch that if the police had not arrived early, Que Liuzi would have confessed quickly.
The spiciness and itchiness, especially the itchiness that goes deep into the bone marrow, are really unbearable for humans.
Captain Zhang gave Lin Shuyue a deep look and took the spray. The car's window rolled up, and Captain Zhang saluted Lin Shuyue and the others before slowly driving away.
The driver was a soldier from the motor vehicle squad of the nearby armed police force, who had been recruited just two hours ago.
Lin Shuyue was sitting in the front driver's seat, and in the back seat sat Li Weisheng, Li Mingfang and a policeman who was responsible for protecting Li Weisheng and the others.
They were all equipped with guns.
Li Mingfang and Li Weisheng were extremely nervous. Especially Li Weisheng, who had never imagined that the situation would turn out like this when he decided to secretly investigate the illegal coal mine.
As the car sped back, Lin Shuyue listened to Li Weisheng's confusion and comforted him: "You must have been lucky. Gan Province must have wanted to eradicate these cancers a long time ago."
Jiangxi Province is a major coal-mining province, and its annual tax revenue mainly comes from coal exports.
China has a vast territory, and the north starts to get cold in autumn. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, frost and snow begin to form, and the demand for coal mines is increasing.
Although Linshan Town is a town, it is divided into east and west districts. There is a state-owned coal mine in the west district, which has no less than 2,000 employees. It has also established its own administrative system.
There are quite a few coal mines of all sizes in the eastern district of Linshan Town. These coal mines were combined together as early as twenty years ago.
Guangye Coal Yard is the boss who takes the lead, and his words are more effective than those of the coal mine regulatory authorities.
They occupied the best coal yards, established connections with coal mine regulatory authorities, and did things that were harmful to the environment.
The country cannot just sit there and watch termites eat its flesh and suck its blood; action to clean up these termites is imminent.
Li Weisheng happened to run into it, and the evidence he photographed at the Liutoushan coal yard was much more useful than he imagined!
"I never thought I could accomplish something so big. I think my grandfather would definitely make a DVD of that interview and burn it at home during festivals."
People in Guangdong Province attach great importance to clans, and Li Weisheng and his family attach even more importance to it. There is an ancestral hall at the entrance of their village. The ancestral hall is a three-story official residence, where their ancestors and people who have brought honor to their family in recent years are enshrined.
Li Weisheng is an ordinary person in the clan, but he feels that he will become famous when he returns this time.
"It's good, right?" Li Mingfang said from the side: "So many people begged for it but couldn't get it."
Li Weisheng and Lin Shuyue thought about it and realized that it was indeed true, so they both laughed.
The soldier driving the car and the armed police sitting next to Li Weisheng didn't say anything, they kept themselves alert around them.
Captain Zhang bought plane tickets for the three of them back to Guangzhou, the first flight at six in the morning.
It is now half past four, and they need to arrive at the airport in Gan Province before six o'clock.
It was pitch black all the way, and there wasn't a single car on the road.
They were now passing through a winding mountain road. While chatting and laughing, they reached the halfway point of the mountain. Looking down from the halfway point, they saw a light shining below.
He Hongkuan, the police officer sitting next to Li Weisheng, said, "Brother Xiao, we need to drive faster. Someone is catching up with us."
The relaxed atmosphere just now froze in an instant and became tense.
He Hongkuan said this and took out his cell phone to call Captain Zhang.
The signal on the winding mountain road was poor and intermittent, but Lin Shuyue and the others heard Captain Zhang's reply.
"We have someone following you not far behind." Li Weisheng played a great role in this arrest operation. Captain Zhang and his superiors all knew that they must not let Li Weisheng get into trouble in Gan Province.
If something happened to Li Weisheng in Gan Province, it would be a fatal blow to the entire public security system of Gan Province.
So Captain Zhang made a complete plan, and the accompanying personnel were one of them.
"Bang!" A loud sound rang out in the dark night, and countless birds in the dark mountains on both sides of the road were startled and flew away.
Lin Shuyue's face changed drastically.
This is a firefight between two sides.
Xiao Xiao, who was driving in front, was still driving very steadily. He Hongkuan, who was beside Li Weisheng, took out his pistol and started loading it.
He kept looking out the car window and said to Li Weisheng, "Brother Xiao and I are both from Linshan Town. Ten years ago, our brothers agreed to go out to work and never came back."
"The people who took them there said they were going to work in a coal yard. We couldn't enter the state-owned coal yard. Everyone worked in private coal yards. At that time, we didn't even know what illegal coal yards and coal mines were. My brother and his friends just knew that by going out and working, they could reduce the burden on the family."
"Once they left the house, there was no news from them. By the time my parents finally found out where they were, they were gone." In the early years when the black coal mine was operating illegally, the villagers near Linshan Town were the first victims.
He Hongkuan and his brother were not alone. In those days, young and middle-aged people were always apprehensive and cautious when going out.
The illegal coal mines started to recruit outsiders because they could no longer recruit people.
He Hongkuan's hands were trembling slightly. He clenched his hands and said, "I work so hard as a police officer, hoping that one day I can catch those inhuman bastards."
"I hope they will be punished by law." But even more, I hope those people die at my hands. He Hongkuan didn't say this, because given his status, it was inappropriate to say it.
"We have waited for this day for six years. I even gave up promotion in the army. So, reporter Li, don't worry, I will definitely protect you." He Hongkuan solemnly promised Li Weisheng.
It doesn't matter that he couldn't protect his brother back then. He hopes that he can protect the brothers of many people in the future.
Xiao Xiao said the first words he spoke since getting on the bus: "Me too."
When they were chosen to escort Li Weisheng, He Hongkuan and Xiao Xiao were prepared to sacrifice themselves.
They had waited so long for this day. Their brother had been buried for so long on the shady slopes of the mountain, and now they could finally avenge him.
Li Weisheng and Li Mingfang stared at He Hongkuan in amazement. Li Weisheng blinked his eyes, feeling bitter: "I'm not that important. Actually."
He Hongkuan said, "No. The videos you filmed are very useful to us, because after all these years, we finally know what my brother and the others went through in there."
"My brother is the eldest son in the family, and my parents have high hopes for him. He lives up to his reputation as the eldest brother and is very caring towards us younger siblings."
As He Hongkuan said these words, the boy who took them up the mountains and down the fields to look for bird eggs and dig thatch seemed to appear in his mind again.
"After learning of his death, my mother was devastated and died of a cold. My father has been very silent since then. When I was in the army, he held my hand and looked at me for a long time."
"He left soon after my sister got married. He was beaten to death by thugs from the Liutoushan coal yard because he went to their house to seek justice for my brother."
"So, Reporter Li, we're protecting you, but we're not just protecting you. We have an irreconcilable feud with those people from the illegal coal mine! You probably don't know who Que Liuzi is, right?"
"He's the leader of all the thugs at the coal yards in the eastern district of Linshan Town. Every year they choose a few coal yards and teach the thugs how to beat them so that they can submit as quickly as possible."
The gunshots behind him became more frequent. The bosses of the illegal coal mines paid a lot of money to the thugs. Driven by the money, some of them were loyal and willing to work hard for them.
He Hongkuan didn't know if he could survive if he went there tonight, so he talked a lot.
"Reporter Li, if, I mean if, once you're safe, could you write a report about this? Just talk about how the illegal coal mine destroyed my family."
"And our family," Xiao Xiao said, "My family is better off than Hongkuan's. My parents are still alive. That year, Hongkuan's father went to the Liutoushan coal yard to seek justice, and he went with him, and his leg was broken."
"He fainted from the pain and was thrown into a valley behind the mountain by thugs from the Liutoushan coal yard. He crawled back. He is now paralyzed at home."
"He only has one wish: that the boss and thugs of the Liutoushan coal yard be brought to justice."
Every word Xiao Xiao and He Hongkuan said was stained with blood and tears. Li Weisheng took out the notebook he had brought with him for the interview and blinked away the tears.
A brief interview was conducted with them.
Xiao Xiao and He Hongkuan cooperate very well.
After getting off the winding mountain road, Xiao Xiao stepped on the brakes and said, "Reporter Lin, I know you can drive. If you follow this road all the way north, you will see the airport."
Lin Shuyue's press card had already been shown to Captain Zhang and the others.
Lin Shuyue looked at him: "What about you guys?"
Xiao Xiao looked back at the winding mountain road. The road was dark and they could no longer hear any movement. "Our comrades are still fighting in the back. We can't abandon them."
"The thugs at the Linshan East District coal yard are all desperate criminals, and several of them are still on death row. If my comrades gain the upper hand at this time, our joining will enable them to crush their opponents more quickly."
"If they're at a disadvantage, we can go there and at least give them a break."
"Let's go, Brother Xiao." He Hongkuan had already gotten out of the car.
The night wind blew up the corners of He Hongkuan's clothes. Li Mingfang was already in tears, and Li Weisheng covered his eyes with his hands.
They ran up the mountain without waiting for Lin Shuyue's answer.
Lin Shuyue opened the car door and got out, calling out to them: "Can I take a picture of you?"
Xiao Xiao and He Hongkuan turned around, stood together, and smiled.
With a click, the photo was taken and they turned into the night.
Li Weisheng just interviewed them. Xiao Xiao is 25 years old this year, and He Kuan is 23 years old.
They are in the prime of their youth, but they have a lot of things on their shoulders.
Responsibility, hatred.
No one is not afraid of death, but after they were safe, they still turned around and ran towards their comrades. Even if they knew the way back was a dead end, they still went forward resolutely.
They said it was revenge, but the people chasing them were not from the Liutoushan Coal Yard. The owner and his wife and their thugs had already been wiped out.
They now say that they are going back for revenge, but Lin Shuyue and the others know that it is just a statement made by He Hongkuan and the others to give themselves courage.
They returned for their mission and their responsibility.
There is no such thing as a peaceful life in this world. It's just that someone is carrying the burden for you.
