Chapter 26: Supernatural Ability Cracks the Case (Part One)

  Due to Liu Li's reason, the jurisdiction of Dizhen Township, including Wujiacun and Dujiacun, among eleven villages, successively started the new village head election activities. In order to prevent the family members of the former village head from sabotaging the election, Tianhu brought Zhang Liang and others to the polling station every day for duty.

  Squatting at the entrance of Zhangjiacun Village Committee election site, Tian Hu lit a cigarette with exhaustion. Just now, he had persuaded two groups of villagers who opposed the election to retreat with his three-inch tongue. These people were all relatives of the former village head.

  Luckily, Tian Hu had been stationed at the grassroots police station for a long time, so almost all the people in the jurisdiction knew him, and he still had some face, so after much persuasion, he finally persuaded those two groups of people to return.

  After lighting a cigarette, Tian Hu said to Zhang Liang and the others with a gloomy face: "You guys are lucky, Liu Ge only took charge of collecting those village branch books. After detaining people, he didn't care about anything else."

  And I, this unlucky one, am actually in charge of handling the work for the families of those being detained. Damn it, these past few days have been nothing but me getting scolded nonstop. I also have a bad temper, but in front of those people, I don't even dare fart. What kind of situation is this?

  Alas... this is only the fourth village, and there are still seven more villages behind. Just thinking about facing those detained individuals' families makes my head sweat profusely.

  The director and instructor were afraid that Liu Li was too young and vigorous, couldn't bear the stimulation of the other party, and would cause trouble again. So they let him be on duty in the office. I knew it, if only I had detained those village branch secretaries at that time."

  After venting, Tian Hu seemed to think of something. He looked at Zhang Liang and hesitated: "Zhang Liang, apart from the eleven village branch secretaries detained by Liu Li, there seem to be a few more in our county... What do you say? Should I find an excuse to detain those remaining ones?"

  As soon as Tian Hu said this, Zhang Liang and Li Cheng hurriedly spoke up to persuade him: "Vice Director Tian, calm down."

  Zhao Ming looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he mysteriously said to Tian Hu: "Brother Tian, I asked Huang Xiangzhang to intercede for those four unlicensed private enterprises in the countryside yesterday.

  Worried that Liu Ge would detain those people, Huang Xiangzhang personally led the principals of the four private enterprises to Du Suo's office.

  It turned out that the four private enterprises were previously handling business procedures, and the acceptance of fire protection and environmental protection bureaus had passed. After the completion of the acceptance by the Administration for Industry and Commerce and the Quality Supervision Department, the four private enterprises would become regular enterprises.

  Now the four households are undergoing internal rectification, which has been supervised by the township's business department. Township head Huang gave an order to Director Du, not allowing us to investigate those four private enterprises. It seems that Secretary Wang also meant this.

  However, Huang Xiangzhang did not allow us to investigate those four unlicensed enterprises, but he also made a statement that the town would allocate 50,000 yuan for our office expenses before the end of the month. So, Du Su was so happy yesterday that he treated us to a hot pot dinner.

  "So that's how it is, no wonder Du was so generous yesterday." After the words fell, Tian Hu paused for a moment, then continued: "Liu Li's skills are indeed not small, but he doesn't consider the consequences when doing things. He offended someone and now I'm suffering here, sigh... what a miserable life."

  Tian Hu was lamenting on this side, while on the other side, Liu Li was lying in his dormitory watching TV with a leisurely expression. The TV was playing this year's hottest mother-in-law drama "Mother-in-law, Daughter-in-law, Young Aunt", and when he saw the mother-in-law and young aunt ganging up to bully the new daughter-in-law on TV, Liu Li got angry and smashed the remote control.

  Just as Liu Li was getting angry at the TV plot, the police phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was the county bureau command center's number, Liu Li hastily picked up the receiver: "Hello... this is the local police station, what are your instructions?"

  The voice of the dispatcher from the command center came through the receiver: "Diyang Police Station, a villager named Zhu Dayong in Zhugaocun Village reported that six Tibetan Mastiffs were stolen from his home. Please hurry to the scene and investigate. The alarm number is 130..."

  Because all the police officers were dispatched to the polling station, Liu Li had no choice but to go out alone. After putting down the phone, Liu Li put on his single police uniform, carrying a camera and a briefcase, he couldn't help but complain:

  "There are four formal police officers in our station, but three of them are leaders and only I am the one doing the actual work. The staffing is not full, that's okay, but they didn't even recruit a few more auxiliary police officers. Now we need to go out on patrol, but we can't even gather enough people. Luckily it's just a theft case, if it were a robbery case, it would be even more troublesome."

  Complaints are complaints, Liu Li still drove to the scene of the case himself. After contacting the informant Zhu Dajun according to the alarm number, Liu Li arrived at the scene in just six minutes. The informant Zhu Dajun was a stout fat man, and after seeing Liu Li, he quickly ran over:

  "Officer, please come quickly and take a look. All six of my Tibetan Mastiffs have been stolen, those are all my... Please help me get them back, those damned thieves took every single one without leaving any behind."

  He glanced at Zhu Dajun, Liu Li walked into the yard, and saw that there were four iron cages made of thick steel bars inside the yard. At this time, all these iron cages were empty, with nothing left inside.

  Under these circumstances, Liu Li made a circle around Zhu Dajun's house to investigate, because Zhu Dajun had smoothed out the ground around his home with cement, and in front of his door was a rural highway, so there were no shoe prints or tire tracks left at the scene.

  Since nothing valuable was found, Liu Li turned his gaze to Zhu Dajun: "When did you discover that the Tibetan Mastiff had been stolen?"

  After checking the time on his mobile phone, Zhu Dayong told Liu Li: "I discovered it half an hour ago. My wife and I sell groceries in the countryside and don't usually go home during the day. Just now I went back home to unload goods and found that the lock on the door had been pried open."

  At that time, I felt something was wrong. Normally when I arrive home, I can hear the dogs barking, but this time when I reached the door, there was no sound at all. At that moment, I prayed that nothing had happened to the Tibetan Mastiffs, but fearing what might have happened, it turned out that they were all stolen when I entered the house.

  "How big are those Tibetan Mastiffs? What's their reaction when they see strangers on a daily basis? And have there been any strangers lurking around your house recently?" Liu Li continued to ask.

  Zhu Dayout thought for a moment, then said to Liu Li: "Those Tibetan mastiffs are all over one meter tall, like small calves. Normally, these Tibetan mastiffs only get close to me, no one else can approach them, not even my wife. If someone gets close to them, they will all stand up and bite fiercely."

  Moreover, these Tibetan Mastiffs only eat what I feed them, and they won't take a single bite of anything fed by others.

  As for strangers lurking around my house, it's even more impossible, because the Tibetan Mastiffs' noses and ears are extremely sensitive. As long as there is any movement around my house, they will bark non-stop, which would attract the attention of the villagers."
