On the one hand, due to Dai Xiaohua's background, and on the other hand, the only eyewitness, that is, the person in the east of the city, who picked up the rags, disappeared, so that the case could only drag on indefinitely.

"Fengzi, this matter, I'm afraid we can only admit it, I'll ask about the theft of calligraphy and paintings tomorrow......"

After learning about Dai Xiaohua's background, Ye Dongping could only persuade Feng Guo to admit that he was unlucky, as the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, and no matter how many brothers there are in the Feng family, it is not enough for the government to arrest it.

However, the matter of being beaten can be put aside, but Ye Dongping refuses to give up on the theft of those calligraphy and paintings, because those calligraphy and paintings are not all his own.

Aside from the dozens of celebrity handwritings of the old way, even Wen Zhengming's "Landscape Game Map" was also closed, although it was the property of the acquisition station, but it was not his alone.

The loss of calligraphy and painting, Ye Dongping himself has a lot of responsibility, if he doesn't make the effort to track it down, then Ye Dongping will really have no face to see the old way in the future.

"Uncle Ye, it's okay for me to be beaten, but this thing was stolen, and the public security always has to give an explanation, right?"

Seeing Ye Dongping's sighing appearance, he was a little anxious, the "Landscape Game Map" by Wen Zhengming was worth thousands of yuan, which was a huge amount of money at that time.

"Well, what can be said? I heard that the county leaders asked for a strict investigation of the matter, but the scene was destroyed, and the police did not find any evidence, so they could only drag it out like this......"

Ye Dongping sighed, all he got when he went to the police station today was bad news, although he knew that the matter of the acquisition station was done by Dai Xiaohua and them, but there was no evidence, and he couldn't do anything about those people at all.

And Director Xu's attitude didn't seem to be as resolute as a few days ago, just saying that he would definitely solve this case if he got instructions from the leader.

However, Ye Dongping knows that cases like this involving a relatively large amount of money will generally be handed over to the criminal investigation department for investigation, and now the police station is still following up, which shows that the "attention" of the leadership is probably limited.

"There's no way now, Fengzi, wait a few more days......"

Ye Dongping shook his head helplessly, no matter what era it is, human affection ...... It is often always greater than the rule of law.

Feng Shi was still young, stood up at the moment, and said angrily: "Then what if it is just like this? No, I'm going to the police station to find them......"

"Fengzi, don't be impulsive, hey, Lao Wang, you're here......"

Ye Dongping didn't hold the seal, and when he chased out of the courtyard, he found that there was a person standing at the gate of the courtyard, and when he looked closely, it was a scavenger from the west side of the city, and he hurriedly said hello.

"Brother Wang, who are you?"

When Feng Zi saw Lao Wang coming, he also stood still, glanced behind Lao Wang, and couldn't help but be a little confused, usually when Lao Wang came, he brought a lot of waste products, why did he come empty-handed today?

"Brother Fengzi, Comrade Ye, I ...... I ......"

Lao Wang stood at the door, rubbing his hands uneasily, it seemed that it was difficult to open his mouth when the words came to his mouth, and the embarrassed expression even Ye Tian, a child, could see it.

"Lao Wang, come, come in and sit down, drink saliva, let's talk slowly about something......

In the past, when Lao Wang came to sell scrap products, Ye Dongping chatted with him a few times, knowing that this person was a kind person, he gave him a few bottles of beer, and he sent the wine bottles back.

"Oh, no...... No, Comrade Ye, I'm ...... I'll just say a few words, and I'll leave ......."

Hearing Ye Dongping let him in and sit, Lao Wang hurriedly waved his hand, his face changed again and again, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Fengzi, Comrade Ye, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid that in the future, I ...... I can't sell scrap to you anymore......"

"What? Lao Wang, brother, I am not thin on you, you ...... How can you do that? ”

As soon as Feng Zi heard Lao Wang's words, he immediately exploded, he spent so much money on the gang of rags in the west of the city, and called him brother every day, isn't it just for the waste they picked up?

Moreover, Lao Wang has a lot of prestige among the gang of people who pick up rags in the west of the city, if he says that he will not sell it to himself, it is estimated that the rest of the people will not come, and such a loss is unbearable for the newly opened acquisition station.

"Brother Fengzi, it's really ...... I'm really sorry......" After hearing the words of the seal, Lao Wang showed a look of helplessness and shame on his face.

"Aren't you a pockmarked man, not a pockmarker, but a pit man?"

Feng was also confused, and all the grievances of the past few days broke out at this moment, and he rushed to Lao Wang's side in one step, reaching out to grab him by the collar.

"Fengzi, what are you doing? While going to ......"

Ye Dongping stopped Fengzi's arm and said, "Lao Wang, come in first, if there are any difficulties, you can tell us, wouldn't it be better for everyone to discuss and solve them together?" ”

"Leaf ...... Comrade Ye, I ...... I can't help it......"

Hearing Ye Tian's heartwarming words, Lao Wang's tears burst out of his eyes, and he simply squatted on the ground and cried with a whimper, "Yesterday, a group of people rushed to my house and beat my aunt and children, saying that they are not allowed to sell waste products to you again, Brother Fengzi, Comrade Ye, you ...... What do you think I can do? ”

Lao Wang is about the same age as Ye Dongping, a very strong man, crying like a child at the moment, obviously, what happened yesterday really frightened him.

"What? Someone threatened you not to sell scrap to us? ”

After hearing Lao Wang's crying words, Ye Dongping and Feng Jing were stunned, they never thought that it would be like this.

Lao Wang wiped away his tears, nodded and said, "Yes, those people said that if the scrap is sold to you, it will cost the lives of our family......"

To be honest, in the eighties, picking up rags was very looked down upon, and even children could scold a few words, although there were many of them, but their blood had long been polished, and they didn't dare to offend these local hooligans and ruffians at all.

Seeing Lao Wang like this, Ye Dongping had no idea, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "That...... Won't you report the crime? ”

After hearing Ye Dongping's words, Lao Wang shook his head bitterly and said, "Report the case? We don't even have an identity, who will believe us......"

Lao Wang knew that these scavengers were relatively mobile, and they belonged to the lowest level of small people in every city, and if they were really killed, as long as the body was not found, no one would ever know and care, so he didn't think about reporting the case at all.

"Brother Fengzi, Comrade Ye, really ...... I'm really sorry......"

Lao Wang stood up, bowed deeply to Ye Dongping and Feng Zi, and ignored the shouts of the two, wiping his tears and leaving the acquisition station.

"This ...... What can I do? ”

After Lao Wang left, Ye Dongping and Feng Zi were completely dumbfounded, no one came to deliver scrap, and this business couldn't go on at all.
