When Niu Guilan saw her husband yelling at her in front of everyone, her face immediately turned red, and she looked a little angry, but she still didn't have a seizure, turned around and walked out of the door.

Xia Jian's heart was relieved, he thought that the couple would definitely quarrel in front of them, if this was the case, then they would be embarrassed.

"Mayor Xia! You are so busy, and today is the next planting day, how can you come to my house at this time, there must be something, then you can't help but say "Yu Youlin is straight to the point, very direct."

Xia Jian smiled and said: "I heard that Village Chief He said that your family and He Wang's family are not far away, but a strange thing happened this morning, more than 100 catties of potato seeds from He Wang's family are missing, who do you think did this?" Xia Jian is also a bold person, so he is the most asking.

He Yonggui also never expected Xia Jian to ask such a question, he knew that in this way, he would not have brought him here. Because although Yu Youlin has been paralyzed on the kang for a few years, his prestige in Hejiaping Village is very high, and ordinary people don't talk to him like this.

Yu Youlin's face changed slightly, but he didn't have a seizure, but smiled and said, "Mayor Xia!" You're so high-minded, and I'm not an expert at solving crimes."

"Good! Since this is the case, we will leave, there is a lot of disturbance" Xia Jian finished speaking, got up and left.

Seeing this, He Yonggui and Tong Jie chased after them from behind in confusion. They didn't understand why Xia Jian did this, was it just to say such a sentence.

Li Dongmei's Xia Jian knew that he was at the forefront, and he walked very fast. Tong Jie couldn't keep up, so she had to trot. He Yonggui looked at Xia Jian's strange behavior, he didn't dare to say a word, so he could only follow him.

The courtyard door of Li Dongmei's house was open, Xia Jian stepped in, and shouted loudly: "Is Li Dongmei at home?" ”

"Yes! What's up? With the voice, Li Dongmei walked out of the kitchen with an apron. Is this still the original Li Dongmei? I saw that she was gray-headed and gray-headed, and her trouser legs were still covered with mud from the ground.

Li Dongmei saw that it was Xia Jian, and she looked extremely unnatural and said, "It turned out to be Mayor Xia!" I just came back from planting potatoes, you see me like this," Li Dongmei said, and hurriedly walked down the steps.

"Ask you something? If you know, you can say it, if you don't know, I don't say anything," Xia Jian said in a serious and stiff tone.

Li Dongmei glanced at Xia Jian and said, "Don't! It's time to eat, you go to Westinghouse first, and my meal will be ready soon," Li Dongmei said politely. She only cooked one person's meal, how could Xia Jian have their share.

"No need, Village Chief He's family is ready" Xia Jian said this, and Li Dongmei's phone rang, and the voice rang very quickly.

Li Dongmei didn't answer the phone, but continued to ask Xia Jian with a smile: "What's the matter?" It's a little scary to see how serious you look."

"The phone is ringing, you better answer the phone first!" Xia Jian said with a slight smile.

Li Dongmei hesitated for a moment, and then walked quickly into the Westinghouse. I only heard her pick up the phone: "Hey", there was no follow-up, and after a phone call, she didn't say a word.

Li Dongmei, who hung up the phone, obviously looked unnatural, and before she could speak, Xia Jian had already rushed to ask, "Is the phone call from the accountant?" ”

"How could it be, how could Yu Youlin call me?" When Li Dongmei said this, her voice was a little out of tune.

Xia Jian smiled and said: "You think about it too much, I asked Zhang Yongsheng to call and ask us to go back to eat" Xia Jian's words made He Yonggui quite puzzled, obviously his family cooked and waited for Xia Jian and Tong Jie to go back to eat, how could there be Zhang Yongsheng here? What is the purpose of Xia Jian's words? He didn't understand it a bit.

Li Dongmei's face changed slightly and said, "It's me who misunderstood."

"Okay, I want to ask you something, you have to answer me truthfully, how about it?" Xia Jian smiled and looked very relaxed.

Li Dongmei was different, she kept rubbing her apron with her hands, feeling that she was very nervous. When Xia Jian asked, she was stunned for a moment, and then: "Oh" and said, "Okay!" You ask! Is it going to the house? It's a bit wrong to live in the yard! ”

Xia Jian hesitated for a moment, and stepped into the west house of Li Dongmei's house in two steps. This house, in her Li Dongmei's words, is specially used to receive people. But as soon as Xia Jian walked in this time, the house looked extremely dirty. It looked like he hadn't cleaned up in a long time, and he saw two long cigarette butts in the ashtray of the coffee table.

"Mayor Xia can sit casually! There have been too many things recently, and this house hasn't been cleaned up for a long time," Li Dongmei beckoned Xia Jian. But Tong Jie and He Yonggui didn't follow into the house, but she didn't pay attention to others.

Xia Jian glanced at Li Dongmei, lowered his voice and asked, "More than 100 catties of potato seeds from He Wang's family were stolen, do you know who did this in the village?" “

"Mayor Xia! How can I know this? You don't suspect that I did this, do you? Then you're underestimating people. Although the imported potato seeds are very valuable, I really can't look at the more than 100 catties," Li Dongmei said angrily.

Xia Jian shook his head and said, "You misunderstood, of course you wouldn't do such a thing." I want to ask you, based on your feelings, who in your village could have done this? “

"I can't really guess about that, but I don't think it's a big deal. Isn't it just more than 100 pounds of potatoes? Maybe someone took it back and stewed it and ate it themselves," Li Dongmei said very easily.

Xia Jian snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid it's delicious and indigestible!" This matter is not just a matter of stealing more than 100 catties of potato seeds, this is someone who wants to destroy the potato planting of the people of Hejiaping Village, this is a bit bad in nature, once it is found out, it can be imprisoned" Xia Jian finished speaking, got up and left.

Li Dongmei chased after her from behind and whispered, "It's so serious!" “

Xia Jian didn't speak again, but strode towards the outside of the gate. Tong Jie and He Yonggui hurriedly chased after them from behind.

Halfway through, I met Li Liping, the village women's director, and she hurriedly urged: "The meal is ready, waiting for you to go back to eat."

When He Yonggui heard this, he hurriedly said to Xia Jian: "Mayor Xia, it's a little bit more, let's eat first!" I'll talk about it after eating."

In this way, Xia Jiancai followed He Yonggui to his house. He Yonggui's life at home is not bad, and people can feel it as soon as they walk in. The house is fully furnished and very clean.

He Yonggui's wife looks like a typical good wife and mother. She came out to say hello to everyone, and then went headlong into the kitchen. Li Liping, who came with her later, also went into the kitchen to help, this is a rural person, all of whom are very sincere.

Soon, several bowls of noodles were served. While eating, Xia Jian asked He Yonggui: "How many telephones do you have in your village?" ”

"Three, the village committee has one, Li Dongmei's family and Yu Youlin's family have one each. The phone of the village committee was installed by the town, it should have been a few years, and the phone of Li Dongmei's house and the phone of Yu Youlin's family were installed together the year before last" He Yonggui said this, suddenly stopped, and he looked at Xia Jian fixedly.

Tong Jie raised her head and glanced at He Yonggui and asked, "What's the matter, Village Chief He, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Huh! I finally understand, this Mayor Xia is really not simple, I can see the problem at a glance" He Yonggui said, giving Xia Jian a thumbs up.

A few people quickly finished lunch and went to the village committee. What made Xia Jian feel strange was that as soon as Xia Jian's butt touched the chair, he heard the roar of the motorcycle, and then Zhao Delin walked in with a smile.

"Mayor Zhao! Why did you come back alone? Tong Jie stood at the door and asked a little surprised.

This Zhao Delin, after being transferred to Pingyang Town, was still at the deputy section level, although Secretary Wang gave him the title of deputy mayor, but there was no substantive work arrangement. In order to respect him, everyone still calls him Mayor Zhao verbally, and he is happy to be called that by others.

"Oh! There are many things in Shangxiagou Village, so Xiong Yongqiang stayed for the time being, I'll come here to take a look" Although Zhao Delin said this, he was still quite surprised when he saw that Xia Jian and Tong Jie were there.

He Yonggui politely let Zhao Delin into the office and brought him a chair. As soon as Zhao Delin sat down, he said to Xia Jian with a smile: "The performance of the three villages this time is good, each family is busy planting, according to this rate, it can be finished tomorrow in one day, and the slower ones will be completed the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"Mayor Zhao, what do you think about the theft of He Wang's seeds? You are a cadre stationed in the village here, you should take some responsibility" Xia Jian ignored what Zhao Delin said, but asked.

When Zhao Delin heard this, his face changed slightly and said, "Mayor Xia! He Wang's seeds were stolen, I think I should call the police, not blame us cadres" Zhao Delin's tone changed obviously, when he wanted to be transferred to Pingyang Town two days ago, his tone was really incomprehensible.

"Oh! That means you're not responsible? But I'm putting my words here, as long as this thing is done by people, it will definitely be able to find out, if you say that if you pull out the radish and bring out the mud, this matter is not so simple" Xia Jian said and stood up violently.

Zhao Delin's face changed greatly, and he laughed and said, "Mayor Xia! What do you mean by that? “

"Think about it slowly!" After Xia Jian finished speaking, he got up and left. Tong Jie hurriedly chased after him from behind.

He Yonggui chased for a long distance before he caught up with Xia Jian, and he asked in a low voice: "Mayor Xia!" Is He Wang's family involved in this matter a big deal? Listening to the conversation between you and Mayor Zhao, the more I listen, the more confused I become."

Xia Jian saw that there were no other pedestrians on the road, so he stood down, and he asked He Yonggui in a low voice: "Is Zhao Delin smoking Jade Rabbit cigarettes?" And do you like to leave a long section without smoking? “

"Hmmm! He does smoke Jade Rabbit cigarettes, never lets others when he smokes, and he likes to pinch them off when he has a long time," He Yonggui recalled slowly.

Xia Jian thought for a while, approached He Yonggui and asked in a low voice, "Did he go to Li Dongmei's house last night?" “

"Hey! But last night, he used to be a long-term guest of Li Dongmei's house, but this time it was a bit abnormal, Li Dongmei didn't seem to want to see him, maybe He Shuicheng was not at home, this woman was afraid that others would poke her back! He Yonggui said with a slight smile.

Xia Jian said with a straight face: "I'm asking if he went to Li Dongmei's house last night?" “

"We were all unloading in the town last night, and the village cadres were just the two of them stationed in the village," He Yonggui said in a low voice.
