Leisure Mountain Village

Chapter 543
"What?" Lin Chen's heart jumped, but his tone was still full of doubts.

"Let's talk slowly when you come back." Jiang said and hung up the phone.

Lin Chen looked at the phone and was silent for a moment. It seemed that Jiang Suo had been paying attention to him for a day or two, and the insight of the old director was really amazing. Even if there was no evidence, he was the first to suspect himself.

"Jiang Suo, it's useless to guess right, this kind of thing needs evidence!" Lin Chen murmured, then shook his head.

Not long after, Li Zheng called, and as soon as he got through, he said, "Old Lin, the team is closed, where are you?"

Lin Chen said, "I just came down from the mountain, but I didn't catch anyone. Did you catch them?"

Li Zheng smiled and said, "Good guy, I knew you couldn't just stay where you were. Fortunately, you didn't find it. Let me tell you, the scene at the scene was quite cruel, and Xiao Zhou in our police force vomited."

"What, what happened?" Lin Chen asked intentionally.

"No, let's talk about it when we meet later, hang up first, there are a lot of things!" Li Zheng said.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen drove back to Zhiweilou. Everyone returned after hearing from Lin Chen.

Dahai asked, "Brother, what's the matter, has anyone caught it?"

"I don't know. From Li Zheng's point of view, it seems that he has been caught. Let's go back first and wait for the notification tomorrow." Lin Chen said, and with a wave of his hand, everyone called for money to withdraw.

Back home, as soon as Lin Chen opened the door, he saw Jiang Suo sitting in the yard. A pair of rough hands were rubbing Nini's neck. Nini looked enjoying, obviously quite satisfied with Jiang Suo's hand strength.

"Haven't you rested yet, Jiang Suo?" Lin Chen smiled.

Jiang Suo's eyes narrowed, and the movement of his hands stopped. Nini tugged Jiang Suo's big hand with her bear's paw in dissatisfaction.

Jiang Suo suddenly smiled, patted Nini on the forehead, and said, "How about asking you for some wine, and then go to a hot spring together?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Success! It's been a busy day, and I just want to soak in a hot spring to relieve my fatigue. Let's go."

Jiang Suo nodded slightly, and went out with his hands behind his back. Lin Chen took the sweet-scented osmanthus wine and followed.

Lin Chen understood that Jiang Suo wanted to tell himself something that he didn't want outsiders to know.

The two came to Qipan Hot Spring along the mountain road. Jiang Suo looked down from the high platform of Qipan Hot Spring, only to see pairs of dark green eyes lit up in the surrounding grass.

The wolves use Qipan Hot Spring as a resting place. Jiang Suo already knows this. Now people in Taihang Mountain are not only not afraid of this wolf group, but rather like it. very high.

"Is it them?" Jiang Suo asked suddenly.

Lin Chen asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What?"

Jiang Suo turned to look at Lin Chen, and said slowly, "Is it they who killed the four traffickers?"

Lin Chen was stunned. This time, it wasn't just pretending, but he really didn't expect Jiang Suo to suspect the wolves. But thinking about it, it seems normal for him to have such doubts. After all, the four people were obviously eaten by wild beasts. The wolves do have this suspicion.

Jiang saw the astonishment on Lin Chen's face, and he was also a little dazed. It was obvious that the expression on Lin Chen's face should not be faked.

Lin Chen hurriedly said, "Jiang Suo, don't say such scary things, okay, the wolf kings don't attack humans."

Jiang Suo was silent, and simply found a hot spring to go down. Feeling the warmth brought by the hot spring, Jiang Suo finally felt a little relief on his face.

Lin Chen simply got into the hot spring, but before he even sat down, he listened to what Jiang said, "Li Zheng called me to report that the four suspects all died tragically. The preliminary judgment should be that they were attacked by wild animals. The body was seriously injured. They were all bitten and devoured.”

"That doesn't mean the wolves did it, does it?" Lin Chen said.

Jiang Suodao said, "There are a lot of beasts in Taihang Mountains, so it's not surprising that they died, but the four of them... I really can't think of any animals other than wolves that act in groups, what other animals can eat them so cleanly. Did the pig turn into a tiger?"

Lin Chen really wanted to say that Jiang Suo was wise, but in fact, your guess is almost the same. To put it more vividly, it should be a tiger with a pig's appetite, and a fat tiger can indeed eat.

Jiang Suo looked at Lin Chen and said, "And the most surprising thing is that, except for the four suspects, the two children are still intact."

Lin Chen said, "Maybe it's because the beast is full."

Jiang Suo said, "The principle of hunting wild animals must be to catch the prey that is less dangerous and easy to catch first. Have you seen it in the animal world?"

"See, spring is here, and it's time for the animals to be in heat again...!" Lin Chen said casually, and seeing Jiang Suo staring at him, he immediately became honest.

Jiang Suo said speechlessly, "The four suspects are obviously more difficult targets to hunt. On the contrary, the two children are easy prey. I don't know what beast will violate the hunting rules and choose more difficult prey."

"Lin Chen, besides the wolves following your orders, do you let me think of other possibilities? Or can you give me a reasonable explanation?"

Lin Chen scratched his head and said, "Jiang Suo, in fact, your speculations are meaningless. You want to know the truth...just wait for the police autopsy report."

Jiang Suo was silent for a few seconds, and said slowly, "Lin Chen, I have observed you for a long time, and you are not a bad person."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Thank you."

"But you are not a good person!" Jiang Suo said again.

"..." Lin Chen said speechlessly, "Why am I not a good person? I lead the villagers to get rich and donate money to charity. Am I not a good person?"

Jiang Suo said slowly, "Is someone who does good deeds a good person!?"

"Jiang Suo, you're being a little outrageous." Lin Chen said speechlessly.

Jiang Suo smiled bitterly and said, "I have worked at the grassroots level for more than 20 years. On the surface, I am benevolent and moral. In private, there are many men who steal and prostitute women. It is a child's idea to judge the quality of things by what they see."

Lin Chen didn't speak, but took a sip of sweet-scented osmanthus wine. Jiang Suo continued, "Lin Chen, this world has boundaries, and the law is the criterion to protect this boundary. When the law is trampled on, the real benefit Will it be the weak!?"

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and murmured, "Then what should we do when the law can't protect the weak!?"

Jiang Suo was silent, and Lin Chen continued, "At least...we shouldn't turn a blind eye when some people break that line, when the law can't punish villains."

Jiang Suo poured down a glass of wine, he stood up, his hunched body in the cold wind seemed indestructible, Jiang Suo frowned and said, "Lin Chen...I really can't refute your words, but I hope... When, at least you can have a clear conscience!"

Lin Chen lowered his head, looked at the wine glass in his hand, and suddenly said, "Jiang Suo, do you have a clear conscience all your life!?"

Jiang Suo was silent, walked out of the hot spring directly, dressed neatly after drying his body, walked slowly into the darkness, and then a word came.

"In my whole life, there may have been times when I was powerless and regretted, but before today, I have no regrets!" The voice of the old director was a little lonely.
