"Rest assured, Mr. Verton, the men I have sent will continue to protect your workers who are demolishing that small town. I remember you told me before that you wanted to find a piece of land here for the Chinese to grow food and vegetables here. Now we can talk about it. Mistoyan said.

"Well, I'm willing to do it. It's a shame that vast tracts of fertile land are now wasteland, even grasslands. Wang Weidong said.

What he did not say was that even if there were people in the northern countries who were still cultivating the land, there was a lot of difference in the amount of grain harvested per unit of land compared to the Chinese.

"I'll give you 1,000 acres of land first, you find dozens of Chinese to farm, and if it's done, we'll talk about the next step of cooperation." Mistoyan said.

One Russian acre is equivalent to a little more than one hectare, which is more than 16 acres of land. Then 1,000 Russian acres is 16,000 acres, which is already a very large piece of land.

"You won't see the effect in a year or two, at least three or four years later." Wang Weidong said.

When he was an intellectual youth, Wang Weidong worked in the countryside, and the harvest in the first two years of reclaiming the land was very small, and only after the raw land was completely matured could there be a real harvest.

"Yes, I still have a long term ahead of me anyway." Mistoyan said.

He just became the mayor this year, and he still has five years to go, so he can see the results. And if you do it well, you can continue to do it.

"I saw in the newspaper about the discovery of Chinese bodies in the wild, what happened?" Wang Weidong asked.

Ussuriysk is a city with a population of just over 100,000 people, much smaller than a county in China. So mayors like Mistoyan can know a lot about what's going on at the bottom.

"The place where the body was found used to be a pond, but this year it rained so little that it turned into a meadow. All three corpses had completely decayed, and the grass had grown particularly tall because the ground around the corpses had become very fertile. A few children who went out into the wild to play in the grass got into the haystack to play, and one of them had his foot on a skull. The frightened child ran back to report to the police, who immediately searched the vicinity of the place and soon found the skeletons of three human bodies. Where the three corpses decomposed, the grass grew very tall! Mistoyang stretched out his arms when he said this, which means that the grass grows more than a meter to two meters tall!

Wang Weidong guessed that Mistoyan was talking about Pucao.

"A Chinese ID card was also found at the scene, and we immediately informed the police over there, and they wrote back that this is the missing person they have been looking for, and they have sent us a request to find the whereabouts of these people nearly two years ago, but we were too chaotic at that time to care about it!" Mistoyan shook his head and said.

To be precise, the police had no intention of handling the case at all, and did not take the investigation report sent by the Chinese side as a matter at all.

"Almost two years ago, the Chinese side had already caught a criminal suspect, who was actually caught by the Vladivostok police, and then sent back to China. The Chinese side also wrote about this incident in the investigation report originally written, and the Chinese also confessed to several accomplices of the northern powers who committed crimes with him. It's just that we were so confused at the time that we didn't take it seriously. Mistoyan still said this.

"Have you caught a few of the Chinese's accomplices of the northern powers now?" Wang Weidong asked.

"There were five of them, and we only caught two. They used to be the ones who did bad things in Ussuriste, but now they've found serious jobs, so we caught them quickly, and the other three have long since gone missing. Mistoryan replied with a shrug.

Wang Weidong now concludes that the Chinese accomplice that Mistoyan is talking about is Kong Lingguang, whom he had Andrei capture in Vladivostok.

At first, Kong Lingguang deceived the Chinese merchants in the name of being able to buy scrap steel at a cheap price on the side of the northern powers, and then he and his allies in the northern powers killed the Chinese merchants and seized the huge sums of money from them.

In that chaotic period, these people were lawless, and probably didn't think it was a big deal in their hearts, so the corpses were disposed of very hastily.

"After the two people we caught were using the means, they immediately confessed to another place where the bodies were dumped, and we found two more skeletons and an ID card in that place. We have already informed the Chinese side of this matter. Mistoyan continued.

At present, China has not yet reached an extradition agreement with the northern powers, so criminals caught in the northern powers can only be tried in the northern powers and cannot be extradited to China.

Of course, Kong Lingguang, who was sent back to China, will be severely punished by the law.

Kong Lingguang was arrested and sent back to China, but Wang Weidong has not paid attention to this matter since, and it is still unknown whether Kong Lingguang is dead or in prison.

But now, even if Kong Lingguang is not dead, then with these five corpses as evidence and the confessions of his accomplices in the northern powers, Kong Lingguang will definitely be severely punished by the law.

Bidding farewell to Mistoyan, Wang Weidong returned to Vladivostok.

Upon receiving the news, both Big Ivan and Konstantin rushed to his residence.

Wang Weidong did not meet with Goncharova immediately, but called Andrei, and the two agreed to have dinner together in the evening.

I haven't seen Wang Weidong for a few months, and Andre was very happy to see him.

Although the life of most people in the northern countries is very bad now, Andrei's small life is very nourishing. His body was fat and bloated, his face was red, and the fat on his face trembled when he smiled.

Wang Weidong asked Big Ivan and Konstantin to sit at a table on the outside, and he and Andrei sat at a table inside.

When the two were drinking and chatting, Wang Weidong learned that Andrei was divorced and that his new wife was an actor in the Vladivostok Repertory Theatre.

Wang Weidong didn't want to know that that woman must be very beautiful.

Andrei is very satisfied with his current life, he has been promoted to deputy director, has a beautiful wife, and the most important thing is, of course, a lot of money in his pocket.

After a glass of wine, Wang Weidong asked, "Do you know about Mistoyan?" ”

"Of course I know, I heard that he is already the mayor." Andrei replied.

Vladivostok is very close to Ussuriysk, and as the deputy chief of the police, Andrei is well aware of what is happening in Ussuriysk.

Wang Weidong suddenly said to Andre seriously, "Andre, I'm very disappointed in you, very disappointed!" ”
