Chapter 900: Tree Ride
Chapter 900: The Tree Goes for a Ride
[Chapter 900, a milestone, it's almost p; Ye Fan immediately brought a flashlight, Shi spread his eagle eyes and examined it carefully for a while, and said, "Well, it's a little different." It seems that the inner wall of the wood used to make this tree pocket is lighter in color than the leaky powder that has fallen out. The color of these slags is reddish, a little darker than the tree walls. However, if you don't look closely, you can't see it. This is strange, it stands to reason that this wood residue was bitten out by a mouse in the tree pocket, and the color should be the same, how can two colors emerge in the same tree pocket? β
"Two kinds of wood come together" Qi Tian leaked a sentence, and Ye Fan's body was shocked. Turning his head and staring at Qi Tian in a daze, he stared at this kid with a little hair in his heart, and muttered, "Big brother, am I wrong?" β
"That's right, you're absolutely right." Ye Fan patted the tree pocket, glanced at the two of them, and said, "Maybe this sawdust powder was filled in later, why did they do that?" Is it to reduce weight, that, to do the filling is quite difficult? β
"The problem is not this, big brother, I suspect that there is a problem with these sawdust? Is there any value of these sawdust powders. I heard from my eldest brother just now that these tree pockets are all sold abroad, could it be ......" Lu Wei said the question in his heart.
"Split it and see." Ye Fan nodded.
After splitting it, the three of them were a little stunned, because it was all hollowed out. The central lump of sawdust was compressed tightly, as if it had been treated in some special way, like compressed biscuits.
A fist-sized lump of sawdust can fill a basin after being knocked out, and after all the filling sawdust of such a large tree pocket is scattered, I am afraid that it is not as big as a bucket of that can hold a rural person.
"It's strange, the people in Jingyang Forest Farm have nothing to do, and the logs in the original tree pocket have been hollowed out. Filled with some of these wood crumbs, and made the compressed biscuits generally filled with a lot of sticking together, isn't this tree pocket heavier? Purely full of food and support, have you nothing to do? It's just those foreigners who take this to pad their butts at most, and usually appreciate it as a work of art, but they can't eat it? Qi Tian scolded amusedly.
"Dinner, busy with something, banging and banging for an afternoon." At this time, Ye Fan's father, Ye Chenxi, walked in, and was stunned when he saw the sawdust slag all over the ground, and walked over and said with a smile: "If you don't clean it up, it's all over the ground, this wood shavings powder is blown everywhere by the wind, making the whole house dirty, and your mother has to be verbose again." As he spoke, he picked up the broom and was about to sweep, but Ye Fan shouted: "Dad, don't move, there is a problem with these wood slag powders?" β
"Problem, what's the problem, it's all fake fir slag," Ye Chenxi said with a smile.
"Uncle, what kind of wood is fake fir?" Lu Wei asked.
"The wood of the real fir is usually slightly white, while the fake fir is red. The two kinds of wood can't be seen without sawing, but you can see clearly after sawing. Ye Chenxi said in his mouth, squatted down and looked at the sawdust, and suddenly sighed, as if he had found something, and stretched out his finger to taste it, and smelled it.
The face immediately became solemn, and asked, "Fanzai, where did you come from?" β
"Sent by Jingyang Forest Farm Wood Factory." Ye Fan said and asked, "Dad, what have you discovered?" β
"Well, it's weird, these wood chips are obviously not the same kind of wood as the tree pocket. Also, if I'm not mistaken, these wood crumbs are probably crumbled into powdered yew trees. Ye Chenxi said.
"Yew," Ye Fan and the three of them cried out in a lost voice.
"What's it called? What's going on in Jingyang Forest Farm? A good yew to fill a tree pocket? I heard that wild yew trees are not allowed to be cut and will be imprisoned. Ye Chenxi frowned.
"Dad, do you know what yew is used for?" Ye Fan asked.
"I don't know, it seems that there can be furniture, and besides, it's quite expensive. Of course, no one dares to cut it now, and those who can make furniture are all artificially cultivated. Compared with the wild ones, the price is much worse. Our people like primitive pheasants, just take pheasants for a catty, a pound costs more than ten yuan a catty, and the domesticated kind is also called pheasant, but the price is much cheaper. Ye Chenxi said with a smile.
In the evening, just after eating, Ye Fan called Cheetah directly, wanting to ask Zhang Qiang to check what yew could do for himself.
However, unfortunately, Zhang Qiang's phone has not been able to get through. Ye Fan also gave up, but Lu Wei used some special channels to find an amazing piece of news.
"Big brother, paclitaxel can be extracted from the skin of yew, which is an internationally recognized anti-cancer and anti-cancer agent, this drug paclitaxel is mainly suitable for ovarian cancer and breast cancer, and has certain curative effects on lung cancer, colorectal cancer, melanoma, head and neck cancer, lymphoma, and brain tumors.
Moreover, that medicine is quite expensive, in the past, it could only be extracted from the bark of the tree, but now that the technology is developed, it can also be extracted from wood.
Moreover, the paclitaxel contained in wild yew is of good quality, pure and natural, and the price is several times that of artificially cultivated ones. Lu Wei said with an excited face. Because, he faintly felt the clues to solve the case.
"Could it be that the Jingyang Forest Farm is an exit tree and a coffee table on the bright side? In fact, these wild yews are being smuggled out of the country. As soon as I go to a foreign country, take out the yew powder inside and use it to refine paclitaxel, which is simply a huge profit, a tree pocket can hold a yew with a diameter of about 20 cm, how much can it be sold? Qi Tian also came out of the cheetah, and he broke the sky in one word.
"Moreover, there is a wild yew tree in the Langdang Valley Reserve of Jingyang Forest Farm, because the place is so remote that no one goes there except the forest rangers. Even the rangers don't want to go. Ruomeng's father, Ye Shuigen, was a forest ranger, and later fell to his death in the Wolf Bell Valley inexplicably, could it be because he found out that the yew was cut down, which caused the people who engaged in these activities to take action. Ye Fan's face was melancholy, and a pain surged up in his heart for a while.
In the evening, because Qi Tian and Lu Wei were there, Yu Jiaolong didn't come to worry about Ye Fan, and followed Ye Ziyi to go shopping.
The next morning, Ye Fan and the three of them, Li Xuanshi, a guide outside, arrived at the Wolf Bell Valley early.
Because Li Xuanshi often sneaked into the Wolf Bell Valley Reserve to hunt, when it came to the yew forest, he knew where to go.
After walking for nearly two hours, Li Xuanshi pointed to the forest in the distance and said with a smile: "Brother Ye, you will arrive after crossing this hillside." A few years ago, I was hunting after a wild hare, and I saw it from afar. However, the forest seemed to be guarded and not approached. β
"Xuanshi, today's matter must be kept secret, except for you, no one is allowed to sue sΓΉ? Be careful when you wait to get past and don't be discovered? Ye Fan cautiously explained.
"Brother Ye, do you want to get a few pieces of yew to make furniture, I heard that the price on the market is very expensive now. Don't say it early, bring Hengshan and Li Niu here, let's act at night and let him carry away half a car. Anyway, everyone's strength is not small. Now, let's step on the plate first. Li Xuanshi looked like a thief, which made Lu Wei and Qi Tian want to laugh.
"Forget it, wild yew is a national first-class protected plant, known as the plant giant panda, and you will go to jail if you cut it." Ye Fan sighed, glanced at Li Xuanshi, and said: "I came here to investigate the case, Ruomeng's father died unexplained before, Ruomeng never forgot this matter before he died, I promised him ......" Ye Fan simply made it clear, because he thought that Li Xuanshi was familiar with this area, and it was also convenient for Lu Wei to investigate the case in the future.
"Bastard Ruomeng, why didn't you tell us before, **, Jingyang Forest Farm really did this kind of unconscionable thing, I took the whole village of Tianshui Dam to smash it." Li Xuanshi's face was furious, and he kicked heavily on the tree, startling away a few lazy sleeping crows.
"Don't worry, since you have a clue, it's easy to do. Therefore, this matter must be kept secret. If that's the case, it's a pretty big deal, and I suspect that maybe the city leaders are involved.
At least Chen Ershun of the wood tool factory definitely has a problem, as well as Ma Zhankui, deputy director of the wood tool factory, and Wei Hu, director of the Jingyang Forestry Public Security Bureau, estimate that there are problems.
This is a huge net, Ruomeng used to suspect that Zheng Qingwang did it, but he was also suspicious, before he figured out the matter, everyone in Jingyang Forest Farm had a problem.
However, my tree pocket was given by Zheng Changchang, and if he was involved, he would not dare to send me such a tree pocket.
Moreover, at that time, the tree pocket was also given to me by Director Zheng when he saw the workers loading the truck temporarily, and for this matter, I almost had a dispute with the deputy factory director who was in charge of loading. It seems that Zheng Qingwang's suspicion is the least. Ye Fan said with a frown.
Got closer.
Qi Tian took out a military high-definition telescope and observed for a while.
He said, "Sure enough, there is a problem, you see, there seem to be some trees that are being cut down." In this big New Year, there are still workers working, and it is estimated that the red envelope subsidy is not small. β
Ye Fan took the binoculars and observed for a while, and suddenly found a problem, and said: "There is definitely a problem, the forest in the east seems to have been cut down a lot, but some small yew trees have been planted in the place where it was cut." I heard that artificially planted yew trees grow fast. β
"It's just stealing beams and changing pillars, and planting while cutting them yourself, and after the wild ones are cut, the artificial ones will grow into forests, which will be used to cope with the inspection of the superiors. Of course, they will also leave some for window dressing, **, a group of lawless state thieves. Lu Wei scolded as he observed.
"Why don't you just arrest all the tree cutters, and try it out for the first time?" Li Xuanshi said.
"No, it's going to startle the snake. At that time, the big fish didn't admit it at all, and at most caught a few small minions, but it was still impossible to find out the cause of Ye Shuigen's death.
We had to lay out a tight net to cut down trees, make tools, and sell them all in one go.
It is estimated that they also produce some real wood products for export to cover people's eyes. It's been a few years, and even Zheng Qingwang, the field manager who is close at hand, hasn't found out, and it's really tight
A person who can set up such a large net is definitely a master. We need to be very careful when we compete with him, otherwise, the big fish will have to run away. After all, Lu Wei came down from the investigation office of the Ministry of Public Security, and he was thoughtful.
