"The wisps of flower shirts are spitting jasper, and the scars are red in blood. The fragrant smile is full of water, and the cold is windy in the bones. ”

This is the Southern Song Dynasty poet Fan Chengda's "Eating Watermelon".

Fan Chengda should be no stranger to everyone, and the "Four Seasons Pastoral Miscellaneous (Part 1)" in the primary school textbook is his poem. The sentence "Children are busy with farming and weaving, and they also learn to grow melons." "It's even more widespread.

What you may not know is that Fan Chengda is a watermelon fanatic, and even to the point of obsession, and there are many poems in his pen that describe watermelons. For example, in "Watermelon Garden": "The green vines lie on the soft sand, and they eat watermelons everywhere for many years." ”

The ancients were still like this more than 800 years ago, let alone today's people?

Our country is rich in products and resources, and eating watermelon is not a new thing, but in the hot summer, if you can sit in an air-conditioned room and eat watermelon, it is really an enviable thing.

Now that summer has arrived, the summer in Ningzhou City always comes very early, and this year is no different.

My name is Qin Mu, I am a criminal policeman of the serious crime team, even if I sit motionless in the chair in the hot summer, a layer of sweat will ooze from my forehead.

The predecessor of the Serious Crime Team was the Task Force, and the Task Force was formed temporarily, so our office was rebuilt from the Archives Office of the Ningzhou Public Security Bureau.

Although there is no air conditioning, the watermelon tube is enough.

This has to mention a major specialty of Ningzhou City - Tulong watermelon.

There are many types of watermelons, including those with red flesh, yellow flesh, seeds, and seeds. According to the variety, there are also little angel watermelon, spring thunder watermelon, black beauty watermelon, unicorn king watermelon and so on.

But none of them are as good as the Tulong watermelons in Ningzhou City.

The reason why Tulong watermelon is so famous is because this kind of watermelon is specially cultivated, and the yield per mu is three times more than that of ordinary watermelon, which is oval, the skin is dark green, the flesh is pink, and the sweetness is as high as 15%, far exceeding the 5-12% on the market.

When you bite into it, it's juicy and chewy, and you can taste the taste of rock sugar. It is deeply loved by the masses and is particularly popular in the market.

But why did Tulong watermelon become a specialty? Because this kind of watermelon is only available in Ningzhou City.

It is not because Ningzhou City has special light, soil and water sources, but because the cultivation technology of this watermelon is a secret and is ancestral.

This has to mention Su Dakui, a large melon grower in Tulong Township, Ningzhou City, this Tulong watermelon was cultivated by him.

He graduated from China's key agricultural university, loved to eat watermelon since he was a child, and later dedicated his life to the cultivation of watermelon.

The Tulong watermelon he cultivated was known as the "King of Melons" at the Agricultural Fair in China, and the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress met him in person, saying that he would vigorously support his Tulong watermelon, and personally inscribed - the king of melon planting.

In this way, Su Dakui is more energetic, this year he continues to expand his watermelon planting area, and the output is getting higher and higher year by year, for him, watermelon is gold, and even gold can't be exchanged.

Some people estimate that Su Dakui has sold more than one million watermelons in net profit this year.

Su Dakui is now nearly seventy years old, but he is not deaf, his eyes are not dazzled, and his body is very tough, and he is a celebrity in Tulong Township and even Ningzhou City. After the Tulong watermelon became famous, many people asked him to learn the technique of cultivating watermelon, but he refused one by one, saying that this Tulong watermelon has no technology, but he must cultivate it himself.

Many people say that he wants to monopolize this technology and give his children and grandchildren an iron rice bowl.

In fact, this is understandable, Tulong watermelon is his patent, and it is his hard work for many years, even if others are red, it is useless.

Having said all this, it's not to advertise Tulong watermelon, but we just received a police report - Su Dakui is missing.

The children of Su Dakui, who came to report the case, said that Su Dakui suddenly disappeared in his melon shed last night, and everyone searched for a morning but did not find it, so they called the police.

Because Su Dakui is a celebrity in Ningzhou City, this disappearance case is not trivial, although everyone is equal at present, but Su Dakui's disappearance has a very huge impact on society.

Sure enough, this case of missing persons was handed over to our serious crime team again.

"My dad must have been killed!"

After seeing Su Dakui's children who came to report the case, the first words they said directly shocked my jaw.

"What? Killed? Shocked, I asked in confusion.

Su Dakui's children nodded together and said with great certainty: "Yes, someone must have killed someone." ”

Hearing this, I was even more puzzled, and asked very puzzledly: "Why are you so sure that he was killed?" ”

"It's the season when watermelons are ripe, and our family grows Tulong watermelons, so there are often melon thieves who go to the melon field at night to steal watermelons. In desperation, my father built a melon shed in the melon field and slept in the melon shed every night. Even so, there are still melon thieves who take risks. A week ago, a few melon thieves came to steal melons, and my father found out, and they fought. "The son of the Su family told us the story very angrily.

He spoke vividly and described in great detail, just like a storyteller who told us about the pictures at that time after artistic processing, and we were stunned when we heard it.

"So, you now suspect that Su Dakui's disappearance is related to the melon thief? It's very likely that the melon thief robbed and killed someone?! I frowned and asked seriously.

The daughter of the Su family nodded vigorously, and did not forget to ask me: "Is there a more appropriate speculation?" ”

I have to say that his words stopped me, leaving me speechless for a while, and speechless for a while.

"When did you find out that Su Dakui was missing?" I steadied myself and asked earnestly.

"This morning, because every morning my dad would come home for dinner, but he didn't come back this morning, the phone couldn't get through, and he wasn't found in the melon shed." The son of the Su family said in a deep voice.

I pondered for a moment, then asked, "Does he go to live alone in the melon shed every night?" ”

"Yes."

In any case, this is also a criminal case, and it is not very clear whether it is a case of missing persons or a case of robbery and homicide.

However, we have to go to the scene of the crime to have a look.

Call the other members of the serious crime team and the technical team, if it is really a robbery and murder, then there will definitely be clues at the scene of the crime.
