If anyone thinks that Li Yuanlang stepped on a landmine, they are totally wrong.

There is also thick snow here, but it is very hard underfoot.

It's winter and the ground is frozen solid, which is understandable.

Just as Li Yuanlang slowly moved a few steps with his feet, he felt something different.

What's the reason?

The ground is very flat. If it were land, it would be uneven.

He immediately squatted down and used his gloved hands to push away the thick snow in front of him, revealing a piece of ground.

Hu Zhaojun followed closely, and when he shined a flashlight, he blurted out, "It's a cement floor!"

Concrete floors can be seen everywhere in the city, and there is nothing unusual about them. However, if you see them in the wild mountains, there is only one explanation. This place has been artificially repaired.

Therefore, Hu Zhaojun and his two police officers expanded the area and looked and searched in the open area. They found that many areas in this area were paved with concrete floors.

In other words, someone has been here before, because everything on the ground has been demolished, so it's impossible to tell what it was used for!

Wang Zhongqiu came over and said to Li Yuanlang: "County Magistrate, this place is surrounded by mountains and is in a low-lying area. If it rains heavily in summer, the water from the mountains will flow down and the place will be flooded. Who would do things in such a place with such poor vision?

Too bad.”

"But have you noticed that this place is very well hidden. When we came in, there was a small forest in front of us and there were trees around it, which can provide some shelter."

Li Yuanlang thought about it and basically had the answer in his mind.

Wang Zhongqiu was also thinking about things, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "County Magistrate, are you saying that Xing Dong was here during the three hours he disappeared?"

Then he immediately began to mutter: "Why is he coming to such a deserted place? There is nothing. Can he see or find anything?"

This unintentional soliloquy suddenly reminded Li Yuanlang.

He slapped his thigh angrily, "My judgment was wrong. Xing Dong will not come here. He will go to a place that is important to him, or to meet a very important person."

"Where is it? Who is it?"

Li Yuanlang fell into a cycle of doubts for a moment and struggled in his heart.

Yao Wenju, Yao Wenju, this person is very important, and you can definitely find many answers from him.

It's a pity that after this person injured Xiao Wu, there was no news again.

Whether he is alive or dead remains a mystery to this day.

Tonight's trip was not in vain, at least Li Yuanlang had a bold guess in his mind.

And based on the situation in front of him, he has already sketched out the lively scene here.

Even if it is destroyed artificially, there will always be traces left.

"Thanks for your hard work, everyone, let's go back."

Li Yuanlang hugged his fists to everyone present. For several hours at night, while others were sleeping, they had walked a long way here in the dark. Li Yuanlang felt that just hugging his fists was not enough.

If there is a day when a mystery is revealed, I must record it as a contribution to everyone.

Going back saved a lot of time than coming back, but it still took more than three hours. By the time they returned to the county seat, it was almost five o'clock in the morning.

After a whole night of work, no one slept.

"Thank you again for your hard work." This time, Li Yuanlang bowed deeply.

"County Magistrate, you are too polite." Not only Hu Zhaojun, but also the two police officers waved their hands to indicate that they could not bear it.

A dignified county magistrate can bow to ordinary people and say thank you, which is enough to go back and brag to his family for half a year.

Li Yuanlang let Wang Zhongqiu stay in the guest house, while he went back to take a hot bath and wash up. He didn't sleep. He still had something important to do immediately.

After finishing dressing, Li Yuanlang cheered up, saw that the time was almost up, walked out and went straight to Jiang Mingxiao's room upstairs.

There was a young man standing at the door. Li Yuanlang knew him. He was Jiang Mingxiao's secretary.

After saying hello, Li Yuanlang invited him in to report that he wanted to meet Jiang Mingxiao.

& Although I did not make an appointment in advance, it was expressed, but the situation was urgent.

After a while, the secretary came out, opened the door and asked Li Yuanlang to come in.

Jiang Mingxiao was having breakfast. When he saw Li Yuanlang, he asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Li Yuanlang said rudely: "Secretary Jiang really guessed it correctly and didn't eat it."

"Then let's sit down and eat together." He asked the secretary to get another breakfast.

Jiang Mingxiao took a sip of porridge, looked up and saw that Li Yuanlang's eyes were bloodshot, and said, "I didn't sleep last night. I must have slept too much during the day and overslept."

Li Yuanlang naturally understood that there was something in Jiang Mingxiao's words, but he didn't care. Instead, he said: "It's not that I didn't sleep well, it's that I didn't sleep at all. I went out for a walk all night."

"Going for a walk?" Jiang Mingxiao was stunned, "What is there to go for a walk in Daiding County? If it's a big place, what kind of fun would it have?"

Li Yuanlang smiled, "I was not in the county seat. I went to Jinwakeng in Fusha Town."

"You kid, please stop setting up the enchantment formation for me. If you have anything to say, please feel free to say it."

"Yes." Li Yuanlang kept his story short and told about the results of his battle last night.

"So what do you mean..." Jiang Mingxiao still listened half-informed and couldn't figure out what Li Yuanlang wanted to explain.

"I am basically certain that Yao Wenju bought sand excavation equipment to open a secret sand factory in Jinwakeng. As you know, the sand in Qingliang River can be used to refine gold, but due to indiscriminate mining, it has seriously affected the

The riverbed can easily cause flooding."

"So, as early as more than ten years ago, all nearby sand mining plants were closed. Through the Yao Wenju incident, I guessed that they did not stop completely, but were doing it secretly, and the location was Jinwakeng."

"I explored the golden pothole last night just to find evidence. Unfortunately, everything there had been dismantled and transported away long ago, leaving only a flat cement floor, showing that someone had used it before."

"It makes sense." Jiang Mingxiao nodded slightly, "Is there any connection between this incident and Xing Dong's suicide?"

"There must be." Li Yuanlang answered with certainty, "I originally thought that the sand mining factory in Jinwakeng might still be there, and Xing Dong might have gone to that sand mining farm to meet a certain person. But I was negligent and something happened.

What happened to my classmate Zhan Haiquan, this sand mining plant has become unsafe and cannot continue to exist."

"Pan Jie's wife once reflected that Pan Jie said before his death that some leaders in the county were connected because of some interests. I think this interest should be the sand mining factory. Think about it, the gold content of the sand in Qingliang River is so high,

It will generate a very significant amount of revenue over the course of a year.”

"It is the temptation of money that makes certain people in the county form a small group and form an interest chain. They twist into a rope, clenched their fists, and speak to the outside world in unison. Anyone who threatens their interest groups will take decisive measures

Measures, taking human life is only one of the options, there may be more insidious and despicable methods."

After listening to what Li Yuanlang said so much, so deeply and so clearly, Jiang Mingxiao was no longer in the mood to eat.

He crossed his arms and leaned back on the chair. He didn't say anything for a long time. Instead, he looked away, then turned to ask Li Yuanlang: "Who are these people? Do you have any idea?"

Li Yuanlang shook his head seriously, "I found a clue, but I'm not sure. I can't make random suspicions about people without evidence. However, Shen Aijun and Xing Dong must be one of them. This can be seen from their If these two people leave behind property that is not commensurate with their income, it can be concluded that they are unclean."

"After you told me this, what are your final thoughts?" Jiang Mingxiao asked very seriously.

Li Yuanlang rubbed his hands, made up his mind and said only four words: "It starts but ends first."

Anticlimactic!

"Yes." Li Yuanlang said firmly: "Xing Dong committed suicide, there is no doubt about it. Your mission with the deputy mayor of the division has ended, and you have gained a higher level, so it will be easier to do business when you go back."

Jiang Mingxiao immediately understood the meaning of Li Yuanlang's anticlimax.

"You are asking us to evacuate Daiding County. If we stay here, some people will not be active. Are you trying to catch big fish in the long term? Well, that's a good trick."

Li Yuanlang hurriedly said: "It would be great if Secretary Jiang could understand. I'm really afraid that you might misunderstand me and think that I'm chasing you..."
