When Niu Guilan saw her husband yelling at her in front of everyone, her face turned red and she looked a little angry, but she still didn't have an attack and turned around and walked out of the room.

Xia Jian felt relieved now. He thought that the couple would definitely quarrel in front of them. If that was the case, it would be embarrassing for them.

"Mayor Xia! You are so busy, and today is planting day, why did you come to my house at this time? There must be something going on, so why don't you tell me directly?" Yu Youlin got straight to the point and was very direct.

Xia Jian chuckled and said, "I heard from Village Chief He that your home is not far from He Wang's home, but something strange happened this morning. More than 100 kilograms of potato seeds from He Wang's home disappeared. Do you think

Who did this?" Xia Jian is also a bold person, and he is the most likely to ask questions like this.

He Yonggui never expected that Xia Jianhui would ask such a question. If he had known this, he would not have brought him here. Because although Yu Youlin has been paralyzed on the kang for several years, his prestige in Hejiaping Village

He's very tall, but most people don't talk to him like this.

Yu Youlin's expression changed slightly, but he did not have an attack. Instead, he laughed and said: "Mayor Xia! You are really too high-minded. I am not an expert in solving crimes."

"Okay! In that case, let's take our leave. Don't bother me." After Xia Jian finished speaking, he stood up and left.

He Yonggui and Tong Jie saw this and chased after him from behind in confusion. They didn't understand why Xia Jian did this. Could it be just to say such a thing.

Xia Jian of Li Dongmei's family knew it well, so he walked in front and walked very fast. Tong Jie couldn't keep up, so she had to jog. He Yonggui looked at Xia Jian's strange behavior, but he didn't dare to say a word

, can only run after him.

The courtyard door of Li Dongmei's house was open. Xia Jian stepped in and shouted loudly: "Is Li Dongmei at home?"

"Here! What's the matter?" Following the voice, Li Dongmei walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron. Is this the same Li Dongmei? She looked gray and gray, and her trousers were still stained with mud from the ground.

When Li Dongmei saw it was Xia Jian, she looked very unnatural and said, "It turns out to be Mayor Xia! I just came back from planting potatoes. Look at me like this." Li Dongmei said and hurriedly walked down the steps.

"I want to ask you something? If you know, tell me. If you don't know, just pretend I didn't say anything." Xia Jian said in a serious tone with a stiff tone.

Li Dongmei glanced at Xia Jian and said, "No! It's time to eat. You guys go in the west room. My meal will be ready soon." Li Dongmei said this politely. She only cooked for one person, so how could Xia Jian and the others

share.

"No need, Village Chief He's family is ready." After Xia Jian said this, Li Dongmei's phone rang very quickly.

Li Dongmei did not answer the phone, but continued to ask Xia Jian with a smile: "What's the matter? Looking at your serious look, it's a bit scary."

"The phone is ringing, you'd better answer the phone first!" Xia Jian said with a slight smile.

Li Dongmei hesitated for a moment, then quickly walked into the West Room. She answered the phone and said "hello", but nothing more happened. After the phone call came, she didn't say a word again.

Li Dongmei obviously looked uncomfortable when she hung up the phone. Before she could speak, Xia Jian rushed to ask: "Is the call from the accountant?"

"How could it be? Why would Yu Youlin call me?" When Li Dongmei said this, her voice was a little out of tune.

Xia Jian laughed and said, "You are overthinking it. I asked Zhang Yongsheng to call us and ask us to go back for dinner."

Eat, how can there be anything about Zhang Yongsheng here? What is the purpose of Xia Jian's words like this? He doesn't understand.

Li Dongmei's face changed slightly and she said, "I misunderstood."

"Okay, I want to ask you something. How about you answer me truthfully?" Xia Jian smiled and looked very relaxed.

Li Dongmei was different. She kept rubbing her apron with her hands, feeling very nervous. When Xia Jian asked, she was stunned for a moment, then said "Oh" and said, "Okay! Just ask.

!Should we go inside? It’s a little inappropriate to live in the yard!”

Xia Jian hesitated for a moment, then took two steps into the west room of Li Dongmei's house. In Li Dongmei's words, this room was specially used to receive people. But when Xia Jian walked in this time, the house looked extremely dirty and messy.

It seemed that it had not been cleaned for a long time, and he also saw two very long cigarette butts placed in the ashtray on the coffee table.

"Mayor Xia, please sit down wherever you want! There have been too many things lately, and this house has not been tidied up for a long time." Li Dongmei greeted Xia Jian. But Tong Jie and He Yonggui did not follow them into the house, but she did not pay attention to them.

Xia Jian glanced at Li Dongmei and asked in a low voice: "More than a hundred kilograms of potato seeds from He Wang's family were stolen. Do you know who in the village did this?"

"Mayor Xia! How could I know this? You don't suspect that I did this, do you? Then you are too underestimated. Although the imported potato seeds are very valuable, but these more than one hundred kilograms are worth it to me.

I really don’t like it,” Li Dongmei said angrily.

Xia Jian shook his head and said, "You have misunderstood. Of course you would not do such a thing. I want to ask you, based on your feeling, who in your village could have done this?"

"I really don't dare to guess this, but I don't think it's a big deal. Isn't it just more than a hundred kilograms of potatoes? Maybe someone took it back and stewed it for themselves." Li Dongmei said very easily.

Xia Jian snorted and said, "I'm afraid it's too delicious to digest! This matter is not just about stealing more than a hundred kilograms of potato seeds. This is about someone trying to destroy the potato cultivation of the people in Hejiaping Village. This is a bit evil in nature. Once investigated,

When you get out, you have to stay in jail." After Xia Jian finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Li Dongmei caught up from behind and whispered: "It's so serious!"

Xia Jian didn't speak any more, but strode out of the gate. Tong Jie and He Yonggui hurriedly caught up from behind.

Halfway through, I met Li Liping, the village women's director. She hurriedly urged: "The meal is ready and waiting for you to go back and eat."

When He Yonggui heard this, he hurriedly said to Xia Jian: "Mayor Xia, it's already past one o'clock. Let's eat first! Let's talk after we finish."

In this way, Xia Jiancai followed He Yonggui to his house. He Yonggui's life was pretty good, and you could feel it as soon as you walked in. The house was fully furnished and kept very clean.

At first glance, He Yonggui's wife is a typical good wife and mother. She came out first to say hello to everyone, and then plunged into the kitchen to make room. Li Liping, who followed later, also entered the kitchen to help. This is a rural person.

, all of them are particularly sincere.

Soon, several bowls of noodles were served on the table. While Xia Jian was eating, he asked He Yonggui: "How many telephones are there in your village?"

"Three telephones, one for the village committee, one for Li Dongmei's house and one for Yu Youlin's house. The village committee's phone was installed under the supervision of the town. It must be a few years old. The phone number for Li Dongmei's house and the phone number for Yu Youlin's house were installed the year before last.

We pretended to be together." When He Yonggui said this, he suddenly stopped and looked at Xia Jian intently.

Tong Jie raised her head and glanced at He Yonggui and asked, "What's wrong, Village Chief He? Is there something wrong?"

"Haha! I finally understand. Mayor Xia is really not simple. He can see the problem at a glance." He Yonggui said, giving Xia Jian a thumbs up.

A few people finished their lunch quickly and went to the village committee. What surprised Xia Jian was that as soon as Xia Jian's butt touched the chair, he heard the roar of a motorcycle, and then Zhao Delin walked in with a smile.

.

"Mayor Zhao! Why did you come back alone?" Tong Jie stood at the door and asked a little surprised.

This Zhao Delin was still at the deputy section level after being transferred to Pingyang Town. Although Secretary Wang gave him the title of deputy mayor, there was no actual work arrangement. In order to respect him, everyone still called him Mayor Zhao verbally, and he also

I'm happy to be called that.

"Oh! There are many things going on in Shangxiagou Village, so Xiong Yongqiang stayed here temporarily. I came here to take a look." Although Zhao Delin said this, he was still quite surprised when he saw Xia Jian and Tong Jie both there.

He Yonggui politely let Zhao Delin into the office and brought him a chair. As soon as Zhao Delin sat down, he smiled and said to Xia Jian: "The performance of the three villages this time is good, and every household is busy sowing seeds."

, at this speed, it can be completed in one day tomorrow, and for those who are slower, it will be completed the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"Mayor Zhao, what do you think about the seeds being stolen from He Wang's family? You are the village cadre here and you should take some responsibility." Xia Jian ignored what Zhao Delin said and asked.

When Zhao Delin heard this, his face changed slightly and he said: "Mayor Xia! The seeds from He Wang's family were stolen. I think we should call the police instead of blaming us cadres." Zhao Delin's tone changed obviously. When he wanted to go to Pingyang Town for transfer two days ago,

His tone was really incomprehensible.

"Oh! Does that mean you have no responsibility? But let me put it here. As long as it is done by people, it will be found out. If you pull out the carrots and bring out the mud, it is not that simple.

"Xia Jian said and stood up suddenly.

Zhao Delin's expression changed drastically. He chuckled and said, "Mayor Xia! What do you mean by this?"

"Take your time and think about it!" After Xia Jian said that, he stood up and left. Tong Jie quickly chased after him from behind.

He Yonggui chased for a long time before he caught up with Xia Jian. He asked in a low voice: "Mayor Xia! Is this matter involving He Wang's family something bigger? Listening to your conversation with Mayor Zhao,

Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen?"

When Xia Jian saw that there were no other pedestrians on the road, he stopped and asked He Yonggui in a low voice: "Does Zhao Delin smoke Yutu cigarettes? And he also likes to leave long cigarettes unsmoked?"

"Yes! He does smoke Jade Rabbit cigarettes. He never lets others smoke when he smokes, and he likes to pinch off a long cigarette when it is still long," He Yonggui slowly recalled.

Xia Jian thought for a moment, took a step closer to He Yonggui and asked in a low voice: "Did he go to Li Dongmei's house last night?"

"Hi! As of last night, he used to be a long-term guest of Li Dongmei's house, but this time it's a little unusual. Li Dongmei doesn't seem to like to see him. Maybe He Shuicheng is not at home, and this woman is afraid that others will poke her spine!" He Yonggui said with a slight smile.

.

Xia Jian's face straightened and he said, "I was asking if he went to Li Dongmei's house last night?"
