"Where is the scenery here? It looks good!" Ye Kai pointed to a larger oil painting of landscapes, flowers and plants and asked with some interest.
"It's over there on Xigou Mountain. It's not an easy place to walk, and usually no one goes there, but the scenery is great. I'm a local, so I went there to sketch." The young man replied casually.
Ye Kai nodded, and when he was about to say something, he noticed that Li Hai next to him pulled his sleeves, with a solemn look on his face, as if he had something to say.
"Huh?" Ye Kai felt a little strange and couldn't help but tilted his head and glanced at Li Hai.
"The paintings on it look like poppy flowers..." Li Hai pulled Ye Kai aside and whispered to him.
"Oh, poppy flowers, aren't they just big smoke?" Ye Kai said after hearing this.
But soon, Ye Kai reacted.
This young man's oil painting was drawn on the spot, but what was painted on it was poppies. Although it looked very beautiful, Ye Kai took another look at the painting and realized that there were poppies all over the mountains and fields. It was indeed a bit thrilling.
Feel.
He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Oh my god, could it be said that all the poppies are grown on Xigou Mountain?!
This thing is illegal!
Poppy is an annual or biennial herbaceous plant. The flowers grow on the top of the head, usually white, pink or purple. The flowering period is from April to June, and the fruiting period is from June to August.
More than 5,000 years ago, the Sumerians devoutly called the poppy a "happy plant" and considered it a gift from the gods.
The ancient Egyptians also used opium poppy as a panacea to treat infant crying at night. The great poet Homer called it "forget-you grass".
Opium poppy is the main drug source plant for extracting the drug heroin. Long-term use is prone to addiction, chronic poisoning, serious harm to health, and even death due to difficulty in breathing. It is also known as the three major drug plants along with cannabis and coca.
Domestically, opium poppy cultivation is strictly controlled. Except for medicinal and scientific research, cultivation is prohibited.
At least in Dongshan City, there is no officially licensed opium poppy cultivation area.
After realizing this problem, Ye Kai couldn't stand it anymore. This was a big deal!
"Brother, when was this painted? The scenery is really nice. Can you still see it now?" Ye Kai thought for a while, then approached the young man and asked him about the details of the painting.
"This was painted two weeks ago..." The young man smiled and said, "There should still be flowers now, but it's not easy to walk over there. It's more difficult to climb over the mountains and ridges. Well, the road into the ditch seems to be blocked by a family.
The company has occupied it and doesn't allow access, so we have to climb over the mountain to get in. So it's quite difficult. I also went out to sketch and discovered it by accident."
Two weeks ago, after Ye Kai heard this, he knew it in his heart.
Analyzing the situation seen above, the planting area is very wide, it can be said that it is all over the mountains and plains. According to the growth pattern of poppy, it should not be harvest time yet, so as long as you act quickly, you should be able to plant this
Illegal opium poppy cultivation bases were destroyed.
However, Ye Kai also had some doubts in his heart. There is such a huge poppy cultivation base in Fangshi County. How come people in the county don't know about it at all?
"I bought this painting." Ye Kai pointed at the painting and said to the young man.
"This area is larger, and it took a lot of effort. If you want it, can I give it one hundred and sixty?" The young man thought for a moment and said to Ye Kai.
To be honest, the price of 160 is not cheap.
For a college student's sketch work, one hundred and sixty is indeed a bit expensive. This is almost half a month's income of an ordinary worker here in Fangshi County.
However, Ye Kai obviously would not dwell on these issues. He took out two bills, handed them to the young man, and then said, "No need to change. I want to go there and have a look. Could you give me some directions?"
"
"No problem, it's actually not very complicated. I have a map for you with marked routes into the mountain." The young man was very happy, and maybe because of the money, he immediately pulled out a map of Fangshi County.
When the map arrived, he handed it to Ye Kai, found a painting tube, rolled up the painting, and put it inside.
Li Hai took the painting tube and carried it on his back.
Ye Kai looked at the young man's other works and found that none of them were related to poppies, so he slowly left the temporary stall and continued walking forward.
"Second Young Master, what's going on..." Li Hai asked from the side.
"We'll talk about it when we get back." Ye Kai nodded slightly.
Ye Kai walked a few steps further and was a little surprised when he saw an old bookstall with complete sets of comic books inside.
So he stopped to take a look and found that it was quite complete, both for buying and renting, and the price was not expensive.
A complete set of comic books will still have a very good value in the auction market a few years later, but now Ye Kai doesn't like the money anymore. He actually pointed out the old man setting up the stall and told him.
After hearing about the collection value of comic strips, the old man was very interested and thanked him very much for providing this information.
Then Ye Kai bought an old boxwood sculpture from a street stall that was put up by a local. It weighed more than ten kilograms. It was said to be an antique, but it didn't cost much.
Then a few of them sat down at a barbecue stall that had just been set up, and ordered some barbecue, beer, and hot dishes.
"Boss, there's donkey meat on fire across the street, please buy a dozen or so." Ye Kai said to the boss.
"Okay..." The boss was very happy. The business opened so early and he was lucky today.
After sitting down, Ye Kai said to Li Hai, "I feel like this poppy flower thing is a bit fishy. There's no way there's no one behind it."
"Judging from the map, that place is indeed a bit remote. It's normal that no one has discovered it." Li Hai replied.
The map provided by the young man showed clearly that the entire Xigou was located within two mountains. The terrain was dangerous and the entrance had been occupied, so no one went there to take a look.
If it hadn't been for the young man who wanted to sketch and walked over the mountains and ridges into the ditch, no one would have noticed anything unusual there.
It is a pity that very few young people know what poppies look like, so even if the young man painted the scene in an oil painting, he did not expect that this thing is actually the raw material for processing drugs.
Passers-by came and went without realizing it.
If Li Hai hadn't recognized this thing at a glance, he would have really skipped this important discovery.
"Fansheng Building Materials Company..." Ye Kai pointed to a figure marked on the map and said to Li Hai.
"Uh-huh..." Li Hai took a breath of cold air, "Could it be that?"
"Yeah." Ye Kai nodded, obviously the two of them had already thought of something together.
Ye Kai felt a little strange at the beginning. If it was just to blow up mountains and get rocks, there was no need to go against the Fangshi County Government, let alone besiege the county party secretary and county magistrate. If you did that, the investment and benefits would be basically
It is disproportionate and does more harm than good.
Therefore, Ye Kai has always suspected that Fansheng Building Materials Company has some more core interests in Fangshi County.
If the opium poppy cultivation in Xigou is true, then all this has a reasonable explanation.
Fansheng Building Materials Company grows poppies on a large scale in Xigou and uses them as raw materials for drug processing. Because the county's peach planting base plan affects their poppy cultivation in Xigou, they deliberately create trouble and try to
The plan was stillborn.
I just didn't expect that Ye Kai's reaction was quite fierce. He directly took down Hou Xiaoshan, the director of Fangshi County Bureau, and asked deputy mayor Deng Jinyou to take charge, so their conspiracy was not allowed to succeed.
However, after their trouble, Fangshi County's peach planting plan was still affected to a certain extent. At least it seems that this matter will be postponed.
"Second Young Master, how should we handle this matter?" Li Hai asked.
"I suspect that there must be insiders from Fansheng Building Materials Company in the Fangshi County Bureau, so let's use the armed police for this matter." Ye Kai thought about it and made a decision.
The flowering period of poppies has basically passed, but the fruiting period will last for a while, so these two months are the most nervous time for the other party. Once this period of time is over, they will harvest the poppies, and even if someone comes
If this matter is verified, the problem won't be big, and they can completely burn it out.
As long as there is no evidence, Fansheng Building Materials Company can naturally deduce everything.
With such a large area, so much opium poppy production, and such huge black income, you can imagine why they dared to challenge the leadership of Fangshi County. It was completely driven by huge profits.
"Brothers Song Linsheng and Song Huosheng, the former executive deputy mayor of Dongshan City, were the leaders of the largest drug trafficking gang in Dongshan City. I always thought they trafficked drugs from outside. Now that I think about it, Xigou, Fangshi County, should be their drugs
The source..." Ye Kai said with some emotion.
"I didn't expect that this time I came to Fangshi County, I made such a big discovery." Li Hai also said with some emotion.
Ye Kai nodded. If he hadn't suddenly decided to visit the night market, he wouldn't have seen this painting. If he hadn't seen this painting, he wouldn't have thought that there was such a huge thing in Xigou, Fangshi County.
An opium poppy cultivation base, let alone the source of poison in Dongshan City is in Fangshi County.
From this point of view, today's discovery is completely luck.
But no matter what, there must be something wrong with this Fansheng Building Materials Company, and this matter must be resolved as soon as possible.
After thinking about it, he decided to communicate the matter with Mu Wanrong first, directly mobilize the armed police force to arrest the suspects, and control the poppy cultivation base.
Otherwise, if the situation continues to develop, countless drugs may flow into the market.
