Chapter 339: Theft

Li Xiang smiled: "It turns out that I have slept for nearly two hours. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Xu said: "The adults are so tired that they have fallen asleep on the road." After coming to the breeding department, Miss Shi learned that the adults had not slept last night, so she asked me to wait and park the car in the shade of the trees so that the adults could have a good rest. ā€

Li Xiang nodded, thinking to himself that since Bing Xue still had time for me to rest, it seemed that there shouldn't be much trouble, but why did he call me here early in the morning?

Thinking like this, Li Xiang had already jumped out of the car and shouted from afar: "Ice and snow! Shi Bingxue hurriedly turned his head when he heard someone calling, but his face was already happy.

Li Xiangxin said: Bingxue hasn't seen me yet, just listening to the voice, I know that I'm coming, if I suddenly hear the woman calling my name, I don't know if I can tell who it is? I naturally remember Shiya's voice clearly, but ......

Just thinking about it, Shi Bingxue had already walked closer, and without waiting for Li Xiang to ask, he whispered: "Lord Li, something strange happened to the Breeding Division early this morning, a batch of rice seeds was stolen. ā€

Li Xiang was taken aback, and was about to ask more carefully, when he heard Shi Bingxue say: "But fortunately, what was lost was the three hundred catties of finished rice seeds, and the father and mother had already raised seedlings and planted seedlings." Li Xiang was relieved when he heard that the rice seeds of the three lines were still there, and secretly thought that he was too anxious, these three rice seeds had already soaked in the sprouts, and now the transplanting should be completed. Now that the rice seeds of the three lines have not been lost, it does not affect the cultivation of new rice seeds, but how could the three hundred catties of finished rice seeds suddenly disappear?

Shi Bingxue looked very anxious when he saw him, and hurriedly explained the reason for the matter. It turned out that there were four kinds of rice varieties harvested last year, of which the maintainer line, the recovery line, and the sterile line totaled about 600 catties, all of which have been planted. And that batch of finished hybrid rice seeds, due to the limited area of the paddy field of the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa, only more than ten catties of them were taken for trial planting, and the rest were stored alone.

The climate in Jiangnan is warm and humid, and there are two planting opportunities a year, because the first planting season has passed at this time, so the household department did not rush to raise seedlings after getting this batch of rice seeds, but prepared to start sowing when the second season arrived. Since this matter has been decided, the breeding department will re-store this batch of rice seeds in the newly built warehouse, who knows that when Shi Xun came to check today, suddenly the batch of finished rice seeds disappeared. Shi Xun was silent at the time, and he had already suppressed the matter, and ordered several cronies to investigate it strictly.

Hearing this, Li Xiang has understood that the loss this time is actually not much, at best, it is just the loss of some finished hybrid rice seeds, and the three lines of female and male parents are still there, which means that this autumn's harvest will not be affected.

Li Xiang calmed down for a moment and nodded: "In this way, the rice seedlings of the three lines have not suffered losses. As for the loss of some finished rice seeds, it is not a big deal, anyway, the cultivated rice seeds were originally intended to be planted by the people. By the way, have you ever found out the reason now? ā€

Shi Bingxue hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Since the theft of these three hundred catties of rice seeds, my cousin has ordered Director Liu to strictly investigate the matter, and now after the theft of rice seeds, one person has also disappeared at the same time. ā€

Li Xiang exclaimed: "Could it be that the breeding department has a mole?" ā€

Shi Bingxue nodded, then shook his head again: "Not necessarily." The missing man is Huber, whom you have seen. ā€

Li Xiang naturally remembered that when he went to the Ice and Snow Villa for the first time, there was an old man with crippled hands called Hu Bo, and later this Hu Bo also went to his home to help harvest rice, and the last time the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa was under martial law, this Hu Bo did not seem to be so flustered, obviously different from ordinary farmers, Li Xiang was very impressed by this, and suddenly said: "No wonder, it turned out to be him...... He's not ......"

Shi Bingxue said: "Yes, Hu Bo's hands are crippled, and it is not easy for a person to move 300 catties of rice seeds, either he has a response outside, or someone stole the seeds, so he made a fake appearance to hide people's eyes." If that's really the case, I'm afraid that Hu Bo ......" Speaking of this, Shi Bingxue's voice trembled slightly, and he was busy speaking, and remembered that although Hu Bo was an ordinary farmer I invited, he was very concerned about me on weekdays, and now if something happens to him, how can I feel at ease?

Li Xiang observed her words, knew Shi Bingxue's worries, and thought: In the past few years, Bingxue has spent most of her daytime in Bingxue Villa, and now that the person she invited suddenly has an accident, she will naturally be sad. He hurriedly asked, "Bingxue, how long has Huber been missing?" ā€

Shi Bingxue said: "At first, everyone didn't notice Hu Bo's disappearance, until this morning, when my cousin found out about the theft of rice seeds, he sent someone to check the entire breeding department in detail. Later, upon inquiry, it was discovered that Huber had disappeared three days earlier. Huber is the deputy head of the Breeding Department, and he has access to the finished rice seed warehouse. ā€

Li Xiang nodded and said: "Having said that, it is not necessarily that Hu Bo stole the rice seeds, although this matter has little impact on this year's sowing, but its nature is not trivial, and it has to be with your cousin...... Master Shi deliberated carefully. As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards Shi Xun, who whispered behind him: "This matter has not yet been made public, and not many people know about it." ā€

Li Xiang didn't look back, and said, "I naturally save it." ā€

Shi Xun saw Li Xiang talking to Shi Bingxue from a distance, and he didn't feel in a hurry, so he stood aside and waited, thinking that when Master Li saw Bingxue, he naturally had to ask her about the situation first. At this time, Shi Xun saw Li Xiang walking towards him, and hurriedly sent a few people next to him down.

After the two said hello, Shi Xun said worriedly: "Lord Li, although the theft of rice seeds has little impact on this year, this incident also shows that there are loopholes in warehouse management. It's just that the ins and outs of the whole thing have not yet been clarified, and it is inconvenient to jump to conclusions for a while. Besides, this matter has not yet been made public, and the entire breeding department knows about this matter, except for Master Li and Bingxue, only Liu is in charge. Mr. Liu was hand-drawn by me, so he can naturally be trusted. ā€

Li Xiang said: "Can Master Shi find out the origin of this Hubo?" Shi Xun turned his head to look at Shi Bingxue, hesitated a little and said: "So far, I haven't figured out the origin of this Hu Bo, but I have heard that this person came to Lin'an two years ago. At the beginning, Hu Bo lived outside Lin'an City, and later entered the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa and became the head of planting technology. Because of this Huber's good farming skills and honest and reliable people, he has recently become the deputy director of the breeding department, but because of his handicapped hands, he is not assigned any heavy work on weekdays, but he is responsible for teaching some methods of seed value. ā€

Li Xiang nodded, thinking about this Shi Xun's expression, it seemed that he had confirmed that Hu Bo was the one who stole the rice seeds, but it was only because of the ice and snow that he didn't break it, and asked: "That is the case, Hu Bo probably also knows that these rice bells can only be used for planting once, and the rice seeds produced again cannot be planted again?"
