Chapter 17 Village Chief
When Village Chief Ge's face changed when he heard Li Jun say this.
When Ge Pingyan was able to compete with Shen Zhian for victory in the village chief, he naturally had the ability to observe his words and judge the situation. Just hearing this sentence made him react quickly.
Village Chief Ge immediately said, "Well, it seems that something is wrong. I'll go up and ask, Jiayan, you and other cadres are waiting here first."
"Village Chief!" A village cadre hurriedly said, "Let's go too?"
"It is not ruled out that there is danger. You stay here, I'll go!"
Then, Ge Pingyan quickly trotted over.
In just a few words, a good village chief was created to lead the way in the face of danger. And those village cadres could not risk their lives to flatter them. After all, there was no more career in this closed village.
"I am worthy of being an old cadre, and the village chief has a high awareness!"
"Yes, the village chief is also an official. If you don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes!"
Ge Pingyan ran to Li Jun. The latter was interrupted by the village chief just as he was about to say something.
"Li Jun," Ge Pingyan said in a low voice: "The fog spreads?"
"No, no..."
"That's good." Ge Pingyan looked behind him and said, "If there is a big deal, I will swallow it into my stomach first. The village cadres will watch from behind. Wait a minute, don't say anything, just say that this time I just encountered some danger, but there were no casualties."
"Village Chief, but..."
"No, but! Only when only Jiayan and I are left will I say it! Come!"
For Ge Pingyan, the current stability of the village is the first priority, and there must be no trouble. Just as the actor from his family said in "The World Without Thieves", if the people are dispersed, the team will be difficult to lead.
After the patrol, he brought Li Jun and others to the village cadres and said, "You guys, it's okay, it's okay. This time it's just a bit thrilling. There is a team member's porcelain doll gone, and there is no big deal."
When David heard this, he couldn't help but admire Village Chief Ge. In such a short time, he noticed that his porcelain doll was gone, and immediately borrowed this to explain what Ge Pingyan said just now, "If you have something to report." Fortunately, what he said was not "What happened", otherwise it would be difficult to lie.
"How can the whole porcelain doll survive if it is gone?" The village cadres looked at David in surprise and said, "This is the first time this child has participated in the patrol today? A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger!"
"Young and promising, young and promising! Village Chief, this child needs to be well trained!"
In the past few years, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, Village Chief Ge has held several "outstanding patrol members" commendation meetings in the village. Based on their patrol deeds, they were packaged as heroes of the village, and the dead patrol members were called "martyrs". This has indeed greatly encouraged the hearts of the villagers, and many people even regard patrols as a glorious and sacred mission. This has also received great support for the village chief's proposal to expand the patrol age, and the village committee is currently discussing this proposal.
Village Chief Ge Pingyan’s ability to have such great prestige in the village is absolutely inseparable from his operations. Several village cadres behind him, including the village committee director, the security director, the women’s director, etc., all proposed that David could be included as a member of the New Year commendation conference.
Next, there were some unnutritional flatteries. After most of them left, Village Chief Ge said, "I want to chat with a few young comrades alone", and the village cadres left one after another.
At the scene, only village chief Ge Pingyan, his assistant (also his younger brother) Ge Jiayan, and nine members of the patrol team were left behind.
"You guys come with me!"
Then, the village chief took them into the village committee's office.
"Jia Yan, go out and watch me. If there is someone, you can come in and tell me if there is something to report to me."
"Okay." Ge Jiayan deserves to be the confidant of Village Chief Ge, and quickly walked out the door without asking a single question.
Because there are no electric lights, there are only flashlights (small daily necessities are provided by the temple), candles, matches, etc. In order to save money, the village chief only lit a few candles.
This made the village chief's office look yin and erect.
"Li Jun, tell me first." The village chief pointed to the people behind him and said, "You can sit in the lounge next to you for a while, and then ask you after I finish asking him. Ru Ping, take a candle."
"Okay, dad... no, village chief." Li Ruping immediately went to get the candle.
When David heard Village Chief Ge say this, he understands that the village chief wants to judge the authenticity of their words through separate inquiries.
"Okay, village chief."
David followed the others to the lounge next to the office.
In the past, this place was for receiving cadres from above, usually for the village party secretary. Nanmin Village was administratively incorporated into other villages, so it did not have its own village party secretary. After the fog was blocked, Village Chief Ge became the highest leader of the village.
The door was closed, and the village chief and Li Jun outside were not very loud, so they couldn't hear it clearly.
"Wait a minute, I don't want to stay here!"
At this time, Li Ruping's sister Li Yanping suddenly shook her head and said, "One of us may be an extra 'people', maybe an unknown object from the fog! Isn't it very dangerous for me to stay here?"
"Yan Ping!"
"Sister, I want to go out, I have to go out!"
"I want to go out too!" This time it was Su Wenqing who spoke. Obviously, Li Yanping was not the only one who had such an idea.
When they were about to walk out together, they walked out alone and stopped at the door.
The other party was the oldest Li Dongshan among the people present!
"No one is allowed to go out!" Li Dongshan even closed the door, "Precisely because there may be dangerous 'people' among us, we cannot go out. Otherwise, if you go out, who will be responsible if someone dies in the village?"
"What do you mean?"
"It depends on how the village chief decides!" Li Dongshan glanced at everyone and said, "The village chief's idea is very correct. Asking one by one, you can clearly see if there is any difference in the memory between us, so it is easier to identify the existence of that 'person'. Everyone has to trust the village chief. Do you think the village chief has not guessed what happened? He took turns to interrogate us, and he did not take risks?"
This sentence immediately made everyone confused.
Village Chief Ge’s prestige in the village is so high. After Li Dongshan said this, everyone had nothing to say.
"Yes," Li Ruping was also very sensible and said, "I am the village chief's daughter-in-law. He doesn't let me stay with you anyway, so there's nothing special!"
This made Li Yanping speechless for a moment.
"Then let's follow the arrangements of the village chief." At this time, Jiang Shan, who was 1.9 meters tall, stood up. He was too tall. This time he stood up, which brought a lot of pressure to everyone: "I absolutely unconditionally support Village Chief Ge!"
At this time, many people cast their eyes to David. David also found that no one wanted to sit with him.
Many people have begun to subconsciously regard him as the source of disaster, and even suspect that he is an unknown object that comes out of the fog.
The most important thing is... he doesn't have bamboo poles or porcelain dolls! This makes his suspicion look much bigger!
In fact, David himself was puzzled. Why was only Captain Lin Tai himself remembering?
After a while, Li Jun opened the door and said, "David, the village chief let you go."
"good……"
David walked outside and walked to the village chief’s desk in just a few steps.
"Village Chief, I..."
"Wait a minute." The village chief stood up and said, "You saw Lin Tai, right?"
“Yes, yes.”
"Lin Tai disappeared after noon. My wife was so anxious that she was about to jump. Tell me now... you saw him in the afternoon, and he also participated in the patrol tonight, right?"
"right……"
"Tell me what he is wearing."
According to his memories, David said the appearance and color of Lin Tai's hat, coat, pants and shoes.
After saying that, the village chief's face changed a lot.
Lin Tai did not go out before he disappeared because he had to go out patrol every night, so he kept sleeping in the morning. The outfit he mentioned was what he had to wear after lunch. But as soon as he got dressed at home and was about to go out, Lin Tai suddenly disappeared when his wife turned around.
Ge Pingyan never told anyone about Lin Tai's outfit! After all, everyone in the village knew Lin Tai, so if they wanted them to help him find him, there was no need to mention his clothes!
It was impossible for David to know the outfit Lin Tai was wearing!
so……
