"Do you have any good suggestions?" Ma Xiaoyao asked in a deep voice.
"I have a suggestion..." Wang Xiaolong said: "What is the purpose of the thief stealing the manhole cover? Isn't it to sell the manhole cover for money? Under normal circumstances, the thief will sell the manhole cover to the scrap collection station, so... I suggest that someone steal the manhole cover.
Check the waste collection stations across the county. As long as you find the stolen manhole cover in the collection station, you can follow the clues and find the thief."
Ma Xiaoyao looked at Wang Xiaolong in surprise: "Okay, Xiaolong, you are quite smart, you actually thought of this method."
"I was just imagining it, I don't know if it will work..." Wang Xiaolong said embarrassedly.
"Okay! Of course it's okay!" Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile: "That's great...I'll call the Public Security Bureau now and ask him to send someone to thoroughly investigate the waste collection stations in the county." After saying that, Ma Xiaoyao picked up the phone.
, dialed a number: "Hello, Director Xu? I'm Ma Xiaoyao... Well, more than 30 sewer manhole covers have been lost in the county recently... Send someone to thoroughly check all the waste collection stations in the county
, be sure to find the lost manhole cover... Well, okay, I'll wait for your news." Ma Xiaoyao hung up the phone and said to Wang Xiaolong: "Okay, Director Xu will immediately send people to thoroughly investigate the scrap collection stations.
There should be news soon."
This time, Wang Xiaolong was in the limelight and received great praise from Ma Xiaoyao. It was also this time that made Ma Xiaoyao realize that Wang Xiaolong was a very smart person who deserved vigorous training.

County Sheriff's Office.
Li Ming laughed loudly and pointed at Ha Teng: "You are really... so shameless. You actually came up with this trick to plot against Ma Xiaoyao... Not bad... Not bad..."
Ha Teng chuckled: "I also thought of it accidentally..."
"By the way, how did you deal with those manhole covers?" Li Ming asked.
"Oh, I sold all those manhole covers as scrap metal..." Haten took out some money from his pocket: "These are the money from selling the manhole covers..." After a long time of fuss, those manhole covers were all from Haten.
The purpose of stealing it was of course to plot against Ma Xiaoyao. You must know that Ma Xiaoyao was responsible for building the road, and the manhole cover of the sewer was also installed under his supervision... Now the manhole cover has been stolen, causing traffic jams and people being lightly treated.
Ma Xiaoyao is partly responsible for the injury. It has to be said that Ha Teng played a very sinister and destructive way.
Li Ming waved his hand: "This money is given to you as a reward."
"Ah...how can this be done..." Haten declined.
"What's wrong? This money is the result of your own labor and should belong to you... Okay, put it away quickly." Li Ming smiled and said: "What are you going to do next? Are you going to continue to steal well covers?"
"Steal! Of course I stole it!" Ha Teng nodded and said, "I want Ma Xiaoyao to be as big as his head or two!"
"Okay, that's right... you must pay attention to safety when stealing the well cover. Don't be discovered... let alone get caught... otherwise you will be in big trouble." Li Ming warned.
Haten smiled and said: "Leader, don't worry, I will be very careful. I will never be discovered, let alone caught."
…
After Public Security Bureau Chief Xu Qiang received Ma Xiaoyao's call, he immediately sent dozens of police officers to begin a thorough investigation of all scrap collection stations in the county. Within half a day, a missing manhole cover was found in a scrap collection station.
The police leading the team arrested the owner of the scrap collection station without saying a word.
"What are you doing...how can you just arrest people...what kind of law have I broken..." the owner of the scrap collection station shouted loudly.
"What kind of law has been broken?" The policeman leading the team snorted and pointed to a pile of manhole covers at his feet: "Where did these things come from?"
"This... this is..." A flash of panic flashed in the boss's eyes, but he quickly calmed down: "Of course I paid for it..."
"Did you really pay for it?" The policeman leading the team sneered, "I think you stole it."
The boss's face changed: "Don't talk nonsense. How could I steal something? I'm definitely not this kind of person..."
"Is it okay if you don't admit it?" The leading policeman curled his lips: "Now that these manhole covers appear in your place, you are a big suspect!"
"I...I have witnesses!" the boss said anxiously: "All the workers here can prove that I paid for these manhole covers, not stolen...and my wife can also prove it to me..." said
After finishing, the boss turned to look at the men and women standing around: "What are you still doing stupidly? Why don't you quickly prove it to me?"
Several men and women suddenly woke up and hurriedly said: "We prove that these manhole covers were indeed purchased with money and definitely not stolen."
"Did you hear that? I didn't steal the manhole cover!" the boss shouted to the leading police officer.
"These people are closely related to you, so of course they told you." The leading policeman snorted.
"You...you..." The boss became anxious upon hearing this: "What they said is true, they didn't lie..." The boss's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted towards the door: "Lao Liu, Lao Zhang, come here.
, come here quickly..."
"What are you yelling about!" the leading policeman shouted softly: "Want to find help? Let me tell you, it's useless for anyone to come today!"
The boss grinned: "What...Lao Liu and Lao Zhang also saw it...They can prove my innocence..."
The leading police officer frowned: "Lao Liu and Lao Zhang? Who are they?"
"Here, there are two people standing at the door watching the excitement... They are my neighbors... If you call them over and ask, they will know everything." The boss said urgently.
The leading policeman turned to look at the gate and saw a dozen people gathered at the gate to watch the excitement. The leading policeman shouted to the gate: "Who is Lao Liu or Lao Zhang? Please come over here."
"
Two old men walked out of the crowd and came to the leading police officer.
"Are you Lao Liu and Lao Zhang?" the leading policeman looked at the two old men.
The two old men nodded.
The leading police officer pointed to the boss next to him: "Do you know him?"
The two old men then nodded: "We know each other, we have been neighbors for many years."
"Lao Liu, Lao Zhang, tell these policemen quickly that I paid for those manhole covers, not stolen... Tell them quickly," the boss said urgently.
The two old men said: "Yes, Lao Li did buy these manhole covers with money. They were bought for scrap metal, not stolen. We saw them with our own eyes... Originally we persuaded Lao Li not to buy these manhole covers."
It will cause trouble, but Lao Li doesn't listen and insists on buying it... Now it will cause trouble..."
After listening to the two old men's stories, the leading police officer frowned: "Who came here to sell the manhole cover?"
"Oh, it's a man. He's wearing a hat and a mask, so he can't see his face clearly." The boss said quickly.
The leading policeman looked at the two old men: "Is that so?"
"Yes, it's a man who looks about thirty years old. Because he is wearing a hat and a mask, he can't see clearly." The two old men said.
The leading policeman was silent for a moment and asked, "Are there any cameras here?"
The boss shook his head: "No...I don't have a camera installed here..."
"Then...are there any cameras nearby?" the leading police officer continued to ask.
"No, there isn't a single camera on any street here...Cameras are high-end things, and they're expensive. No one is willing to install them," the two old men said.
"Comrade police, do you believe it now? I really didn't steal these manhole covers, I paid for them..." the boss said with a grimace.
"Hmph!" The leading police officer glared at the boss: "Is it okay if you spend money to buy it? The state has express regulations that scrap collection stations are not allowed to purchase public facilities and equipment privately. These manhole covers are installed with state funding and belong to the state.
If you spend money to buy public facilities and equipment, it is already illegal!"
"Ah!" The boss's face changed: "I... I don't know... I really don't know... I have never heard that public facilities and equipment cannot be purchased..."
"Do you want to get rid of responsibility just because you don't know?" The leading policeman said with a stern face: "No matter what the reason is, as long as you violate the law, you will be punished. Come on, let the boss and workers of this waste collection station be punished."
Catch him! Take him to the police station!"
A group of police officers arrested the boss and workers without any explanation, and the boss's wife was not spared either. She was directly escorted into a police car by two police officers.
Afterwards, the police sealed off the scrap collection station, and then a group of police officers returned to the Public Security Bureau in police cars.
…
In the afternoon.
Ma Xiaoyao received a call from Xu Qiang, the county public security director.
"Deputy County Magistrate Ma, the missing manhole covers have been found," Xu Qiang said.
"Oh? So fast? Where did you find it?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned for a moment.
"I found it in a scrap collection station in the county town." Xu Qiang replied: "According to the investigation, the owner of the scrap collection station paid for it. The man who sold the manhole cover was a man about thirty years old. Because he was wearing a hat,
and a mask, so I can’t see clearly.”
Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "That thief is quite cautious when doing things. He also wears a hat and a mask... Are there cameras in that scrap collection station?" If cameras are installed in the scrap collection station, the identity of the thief can be traced.
.
"No...there are no cameras installed in the scrap collection station." Xu Qiang shook his head.
"Then...are there any cameras near the scrap collection station?" Ma Xiaoyao then asked.
"No, I have asked someone to check. There is no camera on any street where the scrap collection station is located... Deputy County Magistrate Ma, this case is a bit tricky. The thief is very cautious in doing things, covering his face, and the scrap
There are no cameras near the purchasing station, so it is really difficult to find the thief." Xu Qiang said helplessly.
