When the man poured water, he looked north at the environment inside the house: dark old-fashioned furniture, TVs were still bulky in large boxes, leather-wrapped sofas had cracks, and the position of their butts were obviously black and collapsed. Although the furniture was worn, the walls were painted very carefully and floor tiles were also laid. In the countryside, this should be considered a middle-income family.

"Membersman, are you your surname?" Xiangbei took out a cigarette and handed it to the man.

"Luo Rufeng." The man did not hesitate and reached out to take the cigarette.

Xiangbei lit the cigarette: "Your surname is Luo, so you should also belong to the big family of Luo family. You just said that the village is not safe, what happened?"

"People are in panic and stay at home."

"Why?"

Luo Rufeng hesitated for a moment and looked at Xiangbei with suspicious eyes, "What are you doing? From this project command?"

"Project Command?" Xiangbei understood that for the renovation of Luohe Village, the local government set up a special command center, "Well, I'm not."

"Then what are you doing!"

"My fellow villager, I am a reporter sent by the provincial newspaper. I want to know the situation in our village."

"Are you a reporter?!" The other party's eyes suddenly lit up and his voice was a little excited.

"Yes." Xiangbei did not understand the meaning hidden in the other party's reaction, and replied vaguely.

"That's great. Can you reflect the problems in our village?"

"Yes, then tell me what's going on?" Xiangbei breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was true that the saying was true. There was no way out after the mountains and rivers, and there was another village with dark willows and flowers.

"Uh, wait a moment, I'll make a call." Before Xiangbei agreed, Luo Rufeng had already gotten up and walked to a secluded corner to make a call. Because the distance was too far, Luo Rufeng deliberately lowered his voice. Xiangbei could not hear what the other party was saying, but it could be seen that Luo Rufeng was nodding frequently.

"Do you know the deaths in the village? Alas, it's all caused by money!" Luo Rufeng hung up the phone, took a puff of cigarettes, and dropped the long ash on the leather floor imitating wood grain. "The people who died and injured were all from our village, all of which were in order to protect the arable land in the village. Originally, the land acquisition in our village had already started half a year ago, but the compensation was not obtained. Everyone thought, if you don't give the money, I won't give you land! As a result, after a few months of stalemate, they started."

"Land acquisition?" It seems Xiangbei was right. Some seemingly ordinary criminal cases may be hidden behind them, "Who are they?"

"Xuchanglin! And the boss named Weng from the south!"

"Who are they?"

"Xuchanglin is our village director, and the one named Weng is the developer. They discussed selling our land!" Luo Rufeng stared at Xiangbei with his eyes straight, his tone a little excited.

"This project is a unified plan for the city, how can you know?"

Luo Rufeng shook his head, "How can we understand such a big deal? I don't know how to plan it. Later, everyone received a notice that every household would count the accessory on the ground, and everyone understood what was going on. Anyway, I didn't agree to selling the land at that time. We were counting on this business, who would be willing to sell the land? You said no."

What Luo Rufeng said may not be a lie. He did his homework in the interrogation. According to relevant laws, for the needs of public interests, the collectively owned land and the individual houses and other real estate of the unit can be expropriated in accordance with the authority and procedures stipulated by the law. Of course, in order to protect the interests of villagers, the approval process is extremely strict. There is a complete and complex procedure when expropriating rural land, including step-by-step approval, issuing announcements, signing resettlement compensation agreements, holding compensation and resettlement plan hearings, etc. If these procedures are not available, it is illegal for land acquisition. Villagers can confirm that their land acquisition is illegal and revoke it through prosecution.

"What is the compensation standard, how much do you get?"

"A mu of land costs tens of thousands of yuan, and I got the money. But there is still a compensation that has not been obtained. I heard that there are tens of millions in total!"

Tens of millions?! When Xiangbei heard this number, his eyes lit up. If this is the case, it would be explosive news!

A qualified journalist, to put it bluntly, must have a dog-like sense of smell. Why do you say that? When a reporter listens to the interviewee’s words or reads the materials, which word is worth news, and which sentence can attract the eyes. You can judge it by scanning the eardrum and filtering it.

"Master Luo, is the money you said really there is, or is it just a rumor?"

"I'm not talking nonsense. I discussed it in a meeting in the village two months ago, but it seems to be stuck on it."

Xiangbei adjusted the recording pen on the sofa. Before the conversation between the two began, he had turned on the recording function. This was a habit he had developed as a reporter for many years. On the one hand, it could make it easier to organize materials later, and on the other hand, it could also be used as evidence that the press release will not be questioned and wrongly selected.

However, Xiangbei understood that the villagers' words can only be used as one side's point of view, and the issues involved need to be verified more authoritatively. This is just like an old reporter once told him that you must filter them by yourself when listening to people's words, because everyone will seek benefits and avoid harm and say something. An excellent reporter must first learn to distinguish.

Taking advantage of Luo Rufeng's absence from going to the kitchen to boil water, Xiangbei listed several key issues in the interview book:

1 Is the "11.23 Luohe arson case" (Quan Geng and named this incident like this, "arson" means an artificial incident) related to land acquisition projects?

2 Are there any sound procedures for land acquisition projects?

3. The compensation for tens of millions of yuan that Luo Rufeng said was not in place. Is it true? If the situation is true, where is the money and how should it be distributed?

Is there an exchange of interests between the 4 village director Xu Changlin and the developer surnamed Weng? Is it related to the "Luohe Arson Case"?

Xiangbei sorted out his interview questions and listed the channels and methods to solve these problems in the interview book:

1. Who is the real murderer behind the Luohe arson case? The most authoritative answer must come from the police.

2. Whether the land acquisition project is legal, you need to contact the land construction planning and other departments of Hedong City to look at the relevant meeting minutes of the "Construction Land Approval Letter", "Land Acquisition Announcement", "Compensation Standard Informed Consent Form", and the "Compensation and Resettlement Agreement" on the income distribution method and other documents.

3 As for the compensation of more than 10 million yuan, we need to understand it from the city to the village.

4. The relationship between Xuchanglin and the developer needs to be informed through open and secret investigations, and through channels such as villagers’ info, and if possible, they have to contact the two of them directly!
