Chen Shi confessed to Xu Xiaodong, "Go to that field to see if you can find the rice ears and keep them as evidence."
Xu Xiaodong agreed to go, and then Lao Jia came back and showed them the address book. There were two rice collectors, one named Chu Wei and the other named Luo Chuanlong. Lin Dongxue took out his mobile phone and called Chu Wei. The southern accent voice, when faced with questions, he said: "It's like, we come to Wangchenggang to harvest rice every year. We charge a little bit higher than the grain bureau, and the farmers brothers are willing to cooperate with us."
"Two policemen have disappeared in Wangchenggang, do you know this?"
"Are Officer Xu and Officer Jia? I am not very clear. These two came to us that day. Because of some minor disputes, they left after lunch in the village. Their disappearance has nothing to do with us."
"Ask where the rice is going." Chen Shi reminded in a low voice.
"There is a villager named Old Four Jia. You harvested the rice from his field, didn't you?"
"Uh, yes."
"We want to see that batch of rice."
"This is probably not very convenient. The rice is already piled in the warehouse. They are all put together. If you have to see it, you can check it out in the warehouse."
Lin Dongxue glanced at Chen Shi and continued to say to the phone: "Could you take the time to visit Wangchenggang with Luo Chuanlong? We need to ask some questions."
The other party smacked his lips in embarrassment, "Recently it is the harvest season. We have to collect food everywhere, I'm afraid we won't have time."
"Then we will find you and tell us your current address."
Chu Wei provided the address of a village, and then hung up.
Lin Dongxue said: "I'm very curious, what kind of private purchasers do they rely on to make money, and to whom do they want to sell their food?"
"Usually there are cooperating manufacturers, hey, do they have a license? Could it be that there was a dispute with the police without a license, and then..." Lao Zhang speculated.
"If you don't have a license, it's a fine. Kidnapping or killing for this kind of thing is a bit exaggerated, right?" Chen Shi said, "Let's go to the village to find out and see if there are any clues."
The police entered the village and inquired from house to house. The farmers’ statements were inconsistent, but one thing was the same. The two policemen who came to mediate that day had a light meal at Jia Lao’s house at noon. Someone saw them walking to the entrance of the village in the afternoon and driving. Going away in the car.
According to this statement, the disappearance should have occurred outside the village.
However, the key figure Jia Laosi disappeared. According to neighbors, Jia Laosi went to Xi’an early this morning to meet a netizen. Lin Dongxue and Chen Shi thought it was a bit too coincidental, but several neighbors made the rhetoric. I met a woman who was divorced and brought a child on the Internet and had a good chat. He himself had been bachelor for many years, and took advantage of the slack in the countryside to go to Xi'an for a blind date.
"So before he left, he hurriedly collected his own fields?" Chen Shi asked.
"Probably so!" the neighbor replied.
The old Jia who was accompanying said indignantly: “Lao Si Jia is not kind, and he has collected all the money from his celebrities. He said hello not to harvest rice or rice. He insisted on harvesting it. He did this thing today, alas!"
"How much is it for renting a land for filming?" Chen Shi asked.
"Four thousand per household."
"Is there more rice than above?"
"That's for sure, it's only more than 800 per mu."
Chen Shi's gaze fell on a small western-style building with bright tiles on the exterior wall. It looked a bit different among a brick house. He asked, "This is the home of Old Four Jia?"
"Yes."
"It seems that he is quite rich. Isn't his family such a large self-cultivating land?"
"How much can I earn from farming alone? He sells the seeds in the town, which is the Shennong No. 24 upland rice planted in his field."
"Does other homes also grow it?"
"No, because the Shennong No. 24 is so mediocre and the ears are very small. Although the purchase price is a few cents higher, it is not much more than the total output per mu."
Chen Shi thanked Lao Jia. He went back to the village committee first. Lin Dongxue said, "We should check Jia Lao Si's income."
"Haha, thought of it with me, by the way, check the identities of the two rice harvesters."
At 12 noon, the visit to the village was basically completed. Lao Jia invited everyone to the village committee to have a casual meal. There were no restaurants and guest houses here, so the police agreed, and Chen Shi said, "Wait, there are still people who haven't asked."
"Brother Chen, we are visiting from house to house, and there will be no leftovers."
"Didn't the people who rented the land and filming here didn't ask? They were the party being mediated, and they were also in the village at the time." Chen Shi said.
"Do you have to go while eating at noon?"
"It's not that they are busy in the afternoon. They are all in the same village anyway, and they will soon finish asking, Dongxue, let's take a trip."
The group of people rented a house at the entrance of the village, with a nanny car and a truck transporting supplies parked outside the door, and a pergola was set up. When Chen Shi and Lin Dongxue rushed out, the group had just eaten and they were eating under the pergola. watermelon.
Walking into the pergola, agents, assistants and others cast hostile eyes. Chen Shi said, "We are not here to grab your watermelon."
"We won't invite you to eat watermelon." The agent responded.
"I have a question. On the 17th, the day before yesterday, two police officers came to mediate the ferret incident. When was the last time you saw them."
"Don't mention this to me. I'm angry when I mention it. What kind of attitude are those two notes? I think we are from the city and the other party is a peasant. We should let them. Whoever is poor is reasonable, right? They killed our ferrets, let alone anything else, they would have to pay thousands of dollars for Ahn'Qiraj's bloodline! Later I found out that the two slips were related to the villagers. No wonder they are everywhere. To them, I was very angry, so I went to the city bureau to report the case. As a result, your captain had an attitude of hanging up on the phone with nothing to do." The agent became more angry as he spoke.
Lin Dongxue couldn't help but want to argue, "The ferret killer is not a farmer. He is here to harvest rice. Don't throw the pot away from others."
"Hmph, in my opinion, they are all the same, Ahn'Qiraj is so cute, and they actually ate it. Is this a human thing?"
At this time, the babysitter’s car rang out, and the assistant whispered: "Stop talking, Sister Xiaoqing is crying again."
The agent ran over and said through the window: "Don't be sad, I will definitely give Ahn'Qiraj an explanation."
He came back and spread his hands. "Anyway, someone must be responsible for this. If you protect the farmers, then you lose money!"
"Did you make a mistake? We are not here to mediate this matter, we are here to investigate the disappearance of the police."
"I don't care about this. If I can't give Ahn'Qiraj an explanation, then I won't provide any clues..." The agent sneered slyly, "I won't tell you, in fact, those two notes are still in the village now!"
