"Police officers, I am a mango orchard. The mango trees all over the mountains and plains are all fruit saplings sent by Shiji when they are growing saplings."
The three of them suddenly realized. After Wen Zhong's "reform" of the seed company failed, he seemed a little disillusioned with running the company, and left all major and minor matters to Shi Ji. It was completely reasonable for Zhao Shanhe to meet Shi Ji during the process of purchasing fruit saplings.
"Why does he live here and live here for a long time?" Lu Kai asked.
Zhao Shanhe spread his hands and said, "I don't know what he was thinking. When delivering saplings, he would walk around the garden several times every time he came back. He walked around for several days. Afterwards, he said that the environment here was good and asked me if he could I'm confused about finding a place to live here."
"He also said that he can find a place to live here by himself. Paying a monthly rent is equivalent to renting me an open space in this garden."
"This mango orchard has several hills, and a piece of open space that can accommodate people is really not worth mentioning. But this is the first time I have heard of such a strange request. Besides, I am not familiar with him. Who knows he wants to find a place here. "What on earth do you want to do? What if you are hiding, transporting, or smuggling drugs? Our place in Qinghe has a special geographical location. There are always some desperadoes traveling overseas, transporting drugs, and I have to be on guard."
"But he then asked me if the future development of the mango orchard would require workers. He could get some...hard-working people with low salary requirements."
After a pause, Zhao Shanhe's eyes suddenly turned again and again: "He said that if he lived here, he would not only take care of my garden, but also help me take care of these people. He also said that he was just a person in the seed company. Those who work don’t even have a place to live.”
"I originally thought he was the owner of a seed company, and I was suspicious because he wanted to live in a mango orchard. When he said that, I realized it wasn't the case. I also thought that I would hire someone to look after the garden anyway, but when I saw what he said was pitiful...then... By letting him live here, I can save money on building a house."
Zhao Shanhe's words were obviously untrue.
The "labor agency" industry undoubtedly needs a place for incoming "workers" to stay and transit. It is not suitable to rent a hotel or a private house in the city. These places are inevitably full of people coming and going, and there are many people. Miscellaneous eyes. The mango orchard with nothing but trees all over the mountains and plains is indeed a good place.
Zhao Shanhe also knew this, and judged from this that Shi Ji did not want to "hide and transport poisons" here, so he changed his mind. He certainly cannot say that he knows the true purpose of Shiji. If so, providing a place for illegal acts would become a knowing act.
"When Shi Ji lived here, did those illegal immigrants stay here briefly, or transit here?" Lu Kai asked.
Zhao Shanhe didn't even think about it and shook his head like a rattle: "No... no, I never thought that he would really live here alone, and he has lived there for more than ten or twenty years..."
Zhao Shanhe's words also revealed his suspicion and knowledge of Shi Ji's true purpose of renting here, but this answer obviously denied their common speculation.
"Later, I gradually learned that he himself was...a Vietnamese who entered the country without going through formal procedures. I can understand why he had to live here."
"Does Shi Ji have other dens?" Lu Kai asked again.
Zhao Shanhe spread his hands: "That's not clear. But when he was here, he would go out during the day and come back at night. Almost no one knew when he came back at night. He obviously regarded this place as a place to stay. "
"He rarely interacts with other people, but he will deal with any conflicts among Vietnamese people, and he will manage them obediently and honestly. He has not done anything illegal or criminal here, and he will do it on time every month I'll just let him pay the rent."
After a pause, he added: "There is a forest reserve next to this garden, and he always likes to go there. One time, he even got a muntjac out of it and roasted it. He couldn't finish it by himself, so he shared it with others. The workers in the garden ate it, and I also had a few bites. It tasted good, and many people joked that he should just set up a barbecue stall."
"Everyone just said it casually, but he took it seriously. Soon I heard that there was actually a barbecue stall specializing in muntjac meat on the night snack street in the south of the city. But.
He doesn't go to the barbecue stall every day. He only goes there every now and then when he catches a muntjac in the woods. "
Lu Kai asked with doubt on his face: "He works in a seed company, catches muntjacs and sells them for barbecue, and also works as a labor agency. How can Shi Ji have so much time and energy? He can't be a trivial person, right?"
"He has helpers." Zhao Shanhe said, "He didn't live here long, maybe a year or two, and he brought back a man, fourteen or fifteen years old, who he said was his cousin. I don't know his name, but his last name is Shi, everyone calls him Da Shi and his cousin Xiao Shi."
Then Zhao Shanhe changed the subject again: "There are many minors like Xiao Shi who cross the border privately and come to work here to make money. However, I declare that I really don't use minors."
"This Xiao Shi also has a boring personality and doesn't talk to people very much. He has been following Shi Ji for more than ten years. He has grown from a teenager to a man in no time."
Finally, Zhao Shanhe said rather sadly: "Eight or nine months ago, these two brothers suddenly disappeared. They probably went back to Vietnam. They didn't even say a word to me before they went back. In any case, we can be considered to have been together for nearly a year." Neighbors for twenty years, I guess. He just left without saying hello. I even asked the workers in the garden, and Shi Ji didn’t even say hello to them before leaving."
Li Zhudao pulled out a portrait sketch from his phone, pointed the phone screen at Zhao Shanhe, and asked, "Is this the Shi Ji's cousin you mentioned?"
Zhao Shanhe took the phone and looked at it, and said with absolute certainty, "It's him."
Then, he raised his head again and asked doubtfully: "What did Xiao Shi commit? Are you investigating him?"
Such questions, of course, cannot be answered.
But Zhao Shanhe's questions helped the police determine one thing: Shi Ji's so-called "cousin" was Lang Lang. What Li Zhudao showed Zhao Shanhe was the suspect holding Wu Gang's police gun. Zhang Baogui confirmed that the suspect was Lang Lang.
The person Shi Ji suddenly brought back more than ten years ago only had the same name as his half-brother? Or is this Lang Lang the same as Shi Ji’s half-brother named Lang Lang? Li Zhudao's assumptions and suspicions certainly tended to the latter, and it was for this reason that he tried to show Zhao Shanhe a sketch of the wave for confirmation.
Li Yuzhen's death was inherently weird. If her death was indeed closely related to Shi Ji, then what on earth did Shi Ji want to do when he brought back another child of Li Yuzhen more than ten years later? But judging from the final result, Shiji didn't seem to want to harm the waves.
Lu Kai asked back: "Shi Ji and Lang Lang...are the Xiao Shi you mentioned. Where did these two brothers live in the mango orchard before?"
Zhao Shanhe casually pointed to the simple residence where Yu Dewang had just left not long ago: "This is it... Not long after the two brothers returned to Vietnam, Zhang Baogui came here to work, so I arranged for him to live in it."
The three of them turned to look at the dilapidated hut in front of them, dumbfounded.
Soon, Li Zhudao and Lu Kai both came to their senses and glanced at each other in unison, each seeing the shock and confusion in the other's eyes.
What was shocking was that Zhang Baogui made a false confession. If Li Zhudao hadn't tried to confirm whether "Xiao Shi" was Hailang, and Zhao Shanhe had given a definite answer, Zhang Baogui's false confession would have almost succeeded in deceiving the police.
What is puzzling is, what is the truth behind Zhang Baogui’s kidnapping of Zhang Jianjun, and what is the situation when the wave that “returned to Vietnam” suddenly appeared silently in the mango orchard?
Lu Kai took out his cell phone and was about to call back to the detachment when his cell phone suddenly rang. The team called him.
Lu Kai walked aside to answer the phone, then came back with a grimace: "Something happened at Bailian Temple, and the team wants Yu Dewang and I to go take a look. Team Li, how about you go too?"
Wen Zhong's villa is near Bailian Temple. This made Li Zhudao's heart skip a beat inexplicably, and then he nodded "Okay".
Then, Yu Dewang called Lu Kai again.
After Lu Kai answered the phone, his face became even uglier, and he said to Li Zhudao: "Let's go to Yu Dewang's place first. The trouble there is bigger."
Then he said to Zhao Shanhe: "Check the employees in your garden
Regarding the identity matter, the police station will come to you later. Don't worry about the employees yet. You have to at least go to the bureau to make a record of what happened at Yu Dewang's place. "
Xiao Wu looked at Li Zhudao for a while, then looked at Lu Kai for a while, and he also felt a little big-headed. Although she didn't know what happened to Bailian Temple, and she didn't know what would happen if Yu Dewang led people to find the ashes, she at least knew one thing: the beautiful Qinghe seemed to have been hit by a ghost during this period. It's really evil that things happen one after another.
Another sow escaped from a nearby pig farm.
In the past, because sows ran into the mountains and forests, they would come back within a day or two at most, and there were no villagers living nearby. So when sows got out of the pen, the pig farmers did not pay much attention to them and gave them enough freedom.
Once, a sow ran away and came back pregnant, and then gave birth to a litter of striped piglets. As soon as the breeder saw it, he knew that the sow was giving birth to a litter of wild boars. Because they often see wild boars that look exactly like them in the mountains and forests.
The price of wild boars is several times that of domestic pigs.
The boss of the pig farm is even more indifferent to these sows who often "disobey their wives and cheat on women".
When the sow ran away and was "ravaged" by wild boars in the forest, it happened to be seen by Yu Dewang and other criminal investigation technicians.
The place where they were "doing business" happened to be where Zhang Baogui confessed that Zhang Jianjun's ashes were buried.
"I've had a heatstroke these past two days. I have no energy, no energy, and I've been drained."
