"What do you have to build?" Ma Yao asked in a deep voice.

"I have a ......," Wang Xiaolong said, "what are the thieves stealing the manhole cover for?" Not for the sake of selling it for money? Normally, thieves will sell manhole covers to scrap yards, so ...... I asked people to check the scrap yards in the county, and as long as the stolen manhole covers are found in the yards, they can find the thieves. ”

Ma Yao looked at Wang Xiaolong in surprise: "Okay, Xiaolong, you are very smart, you actually thought of this way." ”

"I'm also thinking about it, I don't know if it's okay......" Wang Xiaolong said embarrassedly.

"Okay! Absolutely! Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "It's just too good...... I'm going to call the Public Security Bureau right now and ask him to send someone to do a thorough job of the scrap yards across the county. After speaking, Ma Xiaoyao picked up the microphone and dialed a number: "Hey, Director Xu?" I'm Ma Xiaoyao...... Well, more than thirty sewer manhole covers have recently been lost in the county...... You send someone to thoroughly inspect all the scrap yards in the county and be sure to find the missing manhole covers...... Well, okay, I'm waiting for your news. Ma Xiaoyao hung up the phone and said to Wang Xiaolong: "Okay, Director Xu will immediately send someone to thoroughly investigate those scrap acquisition stations, and there should be news soon." ”

This time, Wang Xiaolong was in the limelight and was greatly appreciated by Ma Xiaoyao, and it was also this time that Ma Xiaoyao realized that Wang Xiaolong was a very smart person who was worth cultivating.

County Commissioner's Office.

Li Ming laughed and stretched out his hand to point at Hateng: "You are really...... It's too bad, and he actually came up with this trick to calculate the horse's escape...... Not bad...... Nice......"

Hatten smiled: "I also thought of it by accident......"

"By the way, what do you do with those manhole covers?" Li Ming asked.

"Oh, I sold those manhole covers as scrap metal...... Hatten took out some money from his pocket: "These are the money from selling manhole covers...... "For a long time, those manhole covers were stolen by Hatten, the purpose is of course to calculate Ma Xiaoyao, you must know that Ma Xiaoyao is responsible for building the road, and the manhole cover of the sewer is also installed by Ma Xiaoyao...... Now that the manhole cover has been stolen, causing traffic jams and minor injuries, Ma Xiaoyao is responsible for a certain extent, and I have to say that Hateng's hand is very bad, and it is simply a loss to the home.

Li Ming waved his hand: "This money is rewarded to you." ”

"Ah...... How can this work......" Hatten resigned.

"What's not to do, this money is your own labor income, and it should belong to you...... Alright, let's put it away. Li Ming smiled: "Next, what are you going to do?" Do you still continue to steal manhole covers? ”

"Steal! Of course I stole it! Hatten nodded and said, "I'm going to let the horse get away with one head and two big!" ”

"Good, good...... You must pay attention to safety when stealing manhole covers, and never be discovered...... You can't be caught...... Otherwise, it's going to be a big problem. Li Ming admonished.

Hatten smiled: "Leader, don't worry, I will be very careful, I will never be discovered, let alone caught." ”

……

After receiving Ma Xiaoyao's call, Xu Qiang, the head of the public security bureau, immediately dispatched dozens of police officers to thoroughly investigate all the waste collection stations in the county, and within half a day, a missing manhole cover was found in a waste collection station.

Without saying a word, the policeman who led the team directly arrested the owner of the scrap yard.

"What are you doing...... How can you arrest people casually...... What am I breaking the law......" shouted the owner of the scrapyard.

"What law has you broken?" The policeman who led the team snorted coldly, stretched out his hand and pointed to a pile of manhole covers at his feet: "Where did these things come from?" ”

"This ...... This is ......" A trace of panic flashed in the boss's eyes, but he quickly calmed down: "Of course I spent money to buy ......"

"Is it really bought for money?" The policeman who led the team sneered: "I think you stole it." ”

The boss's face changed: "Don't talk nonsense, how can I steal things, I'm definitely not this kind of person......"

"You just don't admit it?" The policeman who took the lead pouted: "Now that these manhole covers appear to you, you are very suspicious!" ”

"I ...... I have witnesses! The boss hurriedly said: "The workers here can prove that I bought these manhole covers with my money and not stolen them...... And my wife can also prove it to me......" After speaking, the boss turned his head to look at the men and women standing around: "What are you still stupid about, why don't you hurry up and prove it to me." ”

Several men and women suddenly came to their senses and hurriedly said: "We have proved that these manhole covers were indeed purchased with money, and they were definitely not stolen. ”

"Did you hear that? I didn't steal the manhole cover! The boss shouted to the police officer who was taking the lead.

"These people have a close relationship with you, of course they told you." The policeman in the lead snorted.

"You...... You ......" The boss was anxious when he heard it: "What they said is true, and they didn't lie......" The boss's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted at the door: "Lao Liu, Lao Zhang, you come here, hurry up and ......"

"What are you yelling about!" The policeman who took the lead shouted softly: "Want to find a helper? I sue you, it's useless for anyone to come today! ”

The boss grinned: "What's that...... Lao Liu and Lao Zhang also saw it...... They can prove my innocence......"

The policeman who took the lead frowned: "Lao Liu and Lao Zhang? Who are they? ”

"Well, it's just two people standing at the door watching the excitement...... They are my neighbors...... Call them over and ask, and it's all clear. The boss said urgently.

The policeman who took the lead turned his head to look at the gate, and saw that there were more than a dozen people gathered at the gate, and the policeman who took the lead shouted at the gate: "Who are you Lao Liu and Lao Zhang?" Trouble for a trip. ”

Two old men stepped out of the crowd and came to the lead policeman.

"Are you Lao Liu and Lao Zhang?" The policeman who took the lead glanced at the two old men.

The two old men nodded.

The policeman who took the lead pointed to the boss next to him: "You know him?" ”

The two old men then nodded: "Yes, we have been neighbors for many years." ”

"Lao Liu, Lao Zhang, you hurry up and sue these policemen, those manhole covers were bought with my money, not stolen...... Hurry up and sue them. The boss said urgently.

The two old men said: "That's right, these manhole covers were indeed bought by Lao Li with money, and they were bought according to scrap iron, not stolen, we saw them with our own eyes...... Originally, we also persuaded Lao Li not to buy these manhole covers, it would cause trouble, but Lao Li didn't listen and had to buy ...... I'm getting in trouble now......"

After listening to the two old men's stories, the policeman who took the lead frowned: "Who came to sell the manhole cover?" ”

"Oh, it's a man, wearing a hat and a mask, and he can't see clearly." The boss said quickly.

The policeman who took the lead looked at the two old men: "Is that so?" ”

"Yes, it's a man who looks to be about thirty years old, and he can't see clearly because he is wearing a hat and a mask." The two old men said.

The policeman who took the lead was silent for a moment and asked, "Is there a camera here?" ”

The boss shook his head: "No...... I don't have a camera installed here......"

"That'...... Is there a camera nearby? The policeman who took the lead continued to ask.

"No, there's not a single camera on the street...... Cameras are high-end things, and they are expensive, and no one wants to install them. The two old men said.

"Comrade policeman, do you believe it now? I really didn't steal these manhole covers, I paid for them......" the boss said with a bitter face.

"Humph!" The policeman who took the lead glared at the boss: "Is it okay for you to spend money to buy it?" The state has clear regulations that the waste collection station shall not purchase public facilities and equipment without permission, these manhole covers are installed at the expense of the state, belonging to public facilities and equipment, you spend money to buy, it is already illegal! ”

"Ahh The boss's face changed: "I...... I don't know...... I don't know...... I've never heard that you can't buy public facilities......"

"If you don't know, do you want to get rid of responsibility?" The policeman who took the lead said with a calm face: "No matter what the reason, as long as you violate the law, you will be punished, come on, arrest the owner and workers of this scrap yard for me!" Take it back to the police station! ”

A group of policemen arrested the boss and the workers without saying anything, and the boss's wife was not spared, and was directly escorted into the police car by two policemen.

After that, the police sealed off the scrap yard, and then a group of police officers returned to the public security station in a police car.

……

In the afternoon.

Ma Xiaoyao received a call from Xu Qiang, the head of the county public security bureau.

"Deputy County Magistrate Ma, those lost manhole covers have been found." Xu Qiang said.

"Oh? So fast? Where did you find it? Ma Yaomei was stunned for a moment.

"Found in a scrap yard in the county." Xu Qiang replied: "According to the investigation, it was purchased by the owner of the scrap yard, and the man who sold the manhole cover was a man about 30 years old, who was wearing a hat and a mask, so he couldn't see clearly. ”

Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "That thief is quite cautious, and he still wears a hat and a mask...... Is there a camera in that scrap yard? "If there were cameras installed in the scrapyard, the identity of the thief could be tracked.

"No...... There are no cameras installed in the scrap yard. Xu Qiang shook his head.

"That'...... Are there any cameras near the scrap yard? Ma Xiaoyao then asked.

"No, I've had people check it, and there isn't a camera on one of the streets where the scrapyard is located...... Deputy County Magistrate Ma, this case is a bit tricky, the thief is very cautious, covering his appearance, and there is no camera near the scrap yard, so it is really difficult to find the thief. Xu Qiang said helplessly.
