"But what's the use of you looking for me?" Liu Xing couldn't help but ask.

His life experience is rich enough, but it is still an unfamiliar field for solving crimes.

"I came to you to help you go to the scene with the help of your cattle herding skills, just like Wang Mazi's cattle were lost, and tell me what I found. Director Wu stretched out his hand and patted Liu Xing's shoulder: "I know you won't refuse, because your eldest sister is married in the old housing village." ”

If he refuses, the cattle thief will patronize Liu Dongju's house at that time, and he can't be blamed for his inaction.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has to solve this case in a short time.

Otherwise, he really didn't know how to explain to the superior leaders, and to the people of the entire Zhangmu Township.

Because there are thirteen cows......

Such an astonishing number of thefts can break the record of Shonan Province.

"This ......" Liu Xing didn't know what to say for a while when he heard this.

Because what Director Wu said was right, he really couldn't refuse.

If the cattle thieves were allowed to run rampant like this, his black calves would surely be harmed in the end.

But if I go, I'm afraid I'll get into trouble too.

After all, until now, Zhu Dachang, the leader of the cattle stealing gang, has not been caught.

This is a dilemma for him.

Help, you'll be fine.

But don't help, it seems that the relatives related to me and the black calf will also be fine.

So......

After struggling for a while, Liu Xing said: "Since Director Wu has said so, then I can only follow to Laowu Village, but I have a few conditions." ”

Say. Director Wu smiled.

This Liu Xing is really a little slippery head.

"First, I have to take my sister with me, I don't worry about her being home alone. Liu Xing said.

"Of course, there is no problem. Director Wu said.

Even if Liu Xing doesn't say it, he is also obliged to bring melon seeds.

After all, he was also very worried about leaving such a four or five-year-old girl at home.

"Second, I recently wanted to open a shoe store in the market of the old housing village, which can also be said to be a stall selling shoes! You know that I don't read much, so the relevant procedures, such as the business license of the self-employed! What are the approval procedures? You have to take care of it for me, after all, you are familiar with this and have a way. ”

Liu Xing looked at Director Wu with a smile, and there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

In the early 80s, it wasn't as easy as you thought.

First, it must be approved by the industrial and commercial department, which is extremely strict, and if there is no one in the system, it will not be able to do it at all.

This is why in the 80s, the supply and marketing cooperatives were still dominant as operating stores, because ordinary people could not open their doors and sit in stores to do business.

Of course, many people don't know about the above policies.

I don't know that if you want to do business, you must get the consent of the industrial and commercial department and obtain a business license.

Second, in the subconscious minds of many people in rural areas, there is still the psychological shadow of being caught and even beaten by speculation, and they dare not go out of their homes to do business, even if they are forced by life, they do not have the idea of formal development, such as applying for a business license for self-employed households, which they dare not think about.

Third, even if the above two points are not important, they are all well known, but some things are controlled by the state because of their scarcity, and they cannot be bought by private individuals, such as pesticides and fertilizers, such as some imported hardware parts, which must be purchased by means of bills to state-owned supply and marketing cooperatives or special custom stores.

Of course, '82 was not as strict as he imagined, at least Liu Xing knew that in '79, the industrial and commercial departments in all parts of the country began to give private approval of business licenses for self-employed households, that is, as long as they did not sell controlled goods, the state would not care at all.

Although he said that, Liu Xing must get the business license of the shoe store, because the current supply and marketing cooperatives are still uncles, and if the procedures are not complete, he will be arrested and imprisoned.

Although there was nothing big in the end, as a reborn person, he didn't want to do things like this.

Therefore, when I saw that Director Wu had something to ask him for help, it was natural to put some future life plans on the agenda.

"You kid, this is knocking on my bamboo pole!" Director Wu smiled: "But this is a trivial matter for me, there is no problem." ”

His daughter-in-law works in the industrial and commercial department, and the shoe store that Liu Xing said is also within the scope of self-employed households, so for him, it is a trivial matter.

"That's good, third!~ I want you not to mention to anyone that I helped you solve the case, like last time you betrayed me and asked Wang Aixiang to come over and thank me, it made me very passive, so don't make the same mistake this time. Liu Xing said seriously.

As soon as these words came out, Director Wu was embarrassed.

After pointing at Liu Xing, he crossed his hands on his hips and said: "I am indeed negligent in your feelings, okay! I agree to all the conditions you said, if you can catch the cattle thief in a short period of time this time, you can rest assured, I will absolutely guarantee that your safety will not be violated." ”

"Then you wait for me first, I have to feed the pigs in the pen first. Liu Xing said.

"Okay! Okay!" Director Wu saw that everything had been negotiated, and immediately brandished a kitchen knife and chopped up the pigweed.

Liu Xing knew that Director Wu hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so he walked into the kitchen and brought out a big bowl of sweet potato porridge: "The conditions in the house are simple, and there are no fritters and buns, so you can make do with this!"

"Look at what you said, as if I'm in good condition. For Liu Xing's warm hospitality, Director Wu was not polite, took the sweet potato porridge and ate it in a big gulp.

Liu Xing smiled, loaded the pigweed with the wooden barrel, mixed it with rice bran, and walked towards the pigsty.

After feeding, he didn't go back as soon as possible, but picked up a bamboo broom to clean the pigsty.

Seeing that it was clean and the two pigs were healthy, he walked back with the barrel.

Director Wu was already waiting in the jeep at this time.

Seeing that Liu Xing was back, he hurriedly hugged the melon seeds and made it to the back seat.

Liu Xing wanted to eat a bowl of sweet potato porridge before leaving, but in the end, he thought about it.

After all, the eldest sister's house is in the old housing village, so let's go over and have a look first.

As for breakfast, he can still mix it at his eldest sister's house.

......

Director Wu drove a jeep to the old housing village.

I didn't take the country road, but took a detour.

Although it was a little far, half an hour later, I also rushed to the old housing village.

After Liu Xing got out of the car, he proposed: "Uncle, it's very inconvenient for my sister to take with me, so I think it's better to send my sister to my eldest sister first." ”

"Yes, your sister's neighbor Wang Xiaozi has also lost his ploughing cattle, so you can stop by and have a look. Director Wu replied.

"Let's go. Liu Xing took the hand of the melon seed and walked towards the adobe house of the eldest sister's house.

Director Wu followed.

After a while, he came to the door of Liu Dongju's house.

At this time, she and Zhao Dongkui were having breakfast.

Seeing this, Liu Xing and melon seeds came.

There was also a police officer in a police uniform behind him, who was stunned and didn't know what to say.

"Sister, this is Uncle Wu, let me come to the market to help a little, don't be surprised, don't worry. Liu Xing sent the melon seeds to Liu Dongju. Xiaolian explained.

"That's it!" Liu Dongju breathed a sigh of relief: "Then have you had breakfast, if you haven't eaten, call this Uncle Wu to eat together!"

"No, I've already eaten it. Director Wu said.

"I'll come back when I go, don't worry...... It won't be long. After Liu Xing said this, he took Director Wu and walked towards the bullpen of Wang Xiaozi's house.

Liu Dongju watched Liu Xing go away, and scratched his head in confusion for a while.

She really couldn't figure it out, why Liu Xing's connections were so wide, since he even knew the people from the police station.

Zhao Dongkui also had the same doubts, but he didn't ask more.

Because he knows that there are some things that he should not know.

......

The door of the bullpen of the king's house.

Director Wu stopped: "According to Wang Xiaozi's wife, this cattle thief is not one person, but five or six people, who led his family's cattle to run away in broad daylight, and many villagers did not catch up at that time, and were injured by this group of cattle thieves." ”

"Such arrogant!" Liu Xing glanced at the surrounding environment and saw that his father was plowing the farmland on the right, and he couldn't help but smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Director Wu asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, I laugh at how stupid these cattle thieves are. Liu Xing said casually.

"What's stupid?" Director Wu asked, unsure.

Liu Xing hesitated for a moment before replying: "As we all know, the economic conditions of this old house village are much better because of the market, of course, the ultimate reason for this is the convenient transportation, and this gang of cattle thieves, why did they choose the old house village to steal cattle, and they stole thirteen heads in one night?"

"You mean, it's because of the convenient transportation of the old housing village?" Director Wu's eyes lit up.

"This is only one of them, but do you know it, uncle? No matter how convenient the traffic in the old housing village is, there is only one road leading to the city, and to put it bluntly, the big truck with thirteen cows can only go through the main road, and it is impossible to spread out and take the small road. Liu Xing said everything that was currently in mind.

In a few decades, this gang of cattle thieves will not be able to get out at all.

Because the various traffic arteries in the countryside have long been installed with electronic eyes.

Stealing thirteen cows is such a big move, to put it mildly, there is nowhere to hide.

"That's right!" Director Wu rubbed his hands and became excited: "Why didn't I think of this! Liu Xing, you are so smart, in this way, this gang of cattle thieves is still in Laowu Village, because after Wang Xiaozi's cattle were lost for more than ten minutes, the main road leading from the Laowu Village Market to the city was blocked by Village Chief Zhao, and four-wheeled vehicles such as large trucks could not go at all. ”

"So...... You should now send the police and gather all the villagers who are idle at home to search the surrounding mountains in a carpet search, and you may soon be able to catch this gang of cattle thieves. Liu Xing proposed.

"Not bad!" Director Wu nodded slowly.

After checking the time on his watch, he didn't even say hello and ran away in a hurry.

"It's really an acute sub. Liu Xing originally wanted to help with him, but in the end he didn't take action.

Because he took a look at the terrain of the old housing village, judging from decades of rebirth experience, this gang of cattle thieves really hid in the mountains.

So, now it's better for him to wait and see.

And he believes that this time the cattle thief is not good enough to have an internal ghost.

Some of the members are also from the old housing estate.

But now this speculation can't be told to Director Wu.

After smiling, he walked towards the eldest sister's house.

On the way, he saw Zhao Geng buying medicine at a Chinese medicine shop in the market.

I wanted to go up to say hello, but I found that Zhao Geng's face was scratched by something, and he was a little miserable.

In order to save some face for Zhao Geng, after frowning, he went straight away.

When I returned to my eldest sister's house, I found out that Zhao Geng's big ploughing cattle had also been stolen last night.

Daughter-in-law Li Qing was angry, quarreled with Zhao Geng, and finally made a move.

The scratches on Zhao Geng's face were scratched by Li Qing.

Liu Xing, who learned the inside story, shook his head.

Fortunately, Zhao Geng sent the calf over yesterday.

Otherwise, I am afraid that the losses will be even more heavy.

Seeing that the eldest sister was holding a bowl of sweet potato porridge in front of him.

Xiao Budian also sat beside him with a roasted sweet potato and ate it.

He came back to his senses at the moment: "Sister, I'm very curious, how did the farming cattle in your old house village lose thirteen heads last night, it stands to reason that these cattle thieves don't have such skills!"
