Chapter 99 (1/2)

Mangdian police station is very simple, and a yard is surrounded by several small bungalows.

Meng Yan asks Shi Dazhuang if he wants to get a tetanus first. There is no hospital in mangdian, but there are still tetanus needles in the health center.

Shi Dazhuang said that this injury was nothing. When the grenade went through his belly, he dug it out with tweezers and put some medicine on it.

Meng Yan first asked someone to get a suit of clothes for the crazy woman, and then asked Shi Dazhuang, ”team Shi, what do you think to do with this today? According to the procedure, or...”

Shi Dazhuang said, ”of course, follow the procedure. What should I do?”

Meng Yan said, ”that's OK.”

He went out for a while. When he came back, he brought a pen and paper and said, ”I've written down what you told me. See if there's anything wrong. If it's right, sign for me.”

Shi Dazhuang took it over, looked at it, nodded, signed and said with a smile: ”this is my confession.”

Meng Yan touched his short flat head and said shyly, ”procedure is to follow a procedure!”

Shi Dazhuang asked, ”what's next? I can't spend too long here.”

Meng Yan said, ”don't worry. You can go after the situation is verified. But the two women have to stay for a few days. We need them as witnesses to investigate and arrest traffickers.”

Shi Dazhuang said anxiously, ”I brought people out. You have to ensure their safety and freedom. In addition, I'm afraid this is not just the case in mangdian yuziba!”

Meng Yan said, ”I know a little about this situation. When I first came here the year before last, I focused on it.”

”But it's hard!” he sighed. ”When we go, they hide people into the mountains. You can't find anyone. They have to take the team back. We have fewer than ten registered residence officers and the civil servants. The police officers are all local people and villagers. Who would like to offend people?”

Shi Dazhuang also knew Meng Yan's difficulties and said, ”it's not your fault.”

Meng Yan said: ”in fact, I also know who the traffickers are, but there is no hard evidence, so it's not easy to catch them.”

Shi Dazhuang said, ”Oh? It's not like your temperament.”

Meng Yan smiled with a strange expression on his face: ”in your eyes, she is an unforgivable human trafficker, but in the eyes of the people in 28 villages, three townships of mangdian, she is a good man and a living Bodhisattva!”

At this time, a policeman came in and reported: ”director, all the confessions have been recorded.” then he handed the confession to Meng Yan.

Meng Yan took the confession, turned it over, and then gave an order: ”lock up Han Bo for me, grandma a bear, do something under my nose!”

Then he said, ”go and invite the medicine lady later. Remember, don't make a noise first, so as not to have an accident.”

The police said ”yes”, and when they went out, their faces showed the same strange expression as Meng Yan.

While the police went to invite people, Meng Yan explained the origin of the medicine woman to Shi Dazhuang.

This man is a herbalist. There is a shop in Yanma street, which specializes in selling earth prescriptions to cure diseases. It is said that her ancestor was a military doctor of the Dian army and a confidant of Tang Jiyao. After Tang Jiyao collapsed and died of illness, he lived in seclusion in mangdian and made a living by collecting medicine and treating diseases. He is also a man of high moral integrity.

To her generation, there were few medical skills left, and she could only live on a few folk prescriptions.
