Through this incident, Ma Xiaoyao paid more and more attention to Wang Xiaolong, and secretly decided that if he encounters unsolvable problems in the future, he must listen to Wang Xiaolong's opinion. This Wang Xiaolong is still very smart.
…
Ergazi wandered on the street all night but did not find the thief who stole the manhole cover. In the end, he was so tired that he felt sore all over.
Looking at the rising sun, Ergazi spat on the ground and cursed: "It's really unlucky, I wasted a whole night! The thief would definitely not dare to come out in broad daylight... Forget it, let's go back to bed quickly."
Go to sleep, wait until it gets dark, then come out and continue looking for the thief." After stretching, Ergazi staggered back home.
Not only did Ergazi gain nothing this night, but other people who wanted to get the reward money also failed.
After daybreak, a group of people returned home looking tired. They thought like Ergazi that a thief would never dare to come out in broad daylight, so they went home to sleep peacefully and waited until dark before going out to look for the thief.
There is a saying that goes well, "Money can make the world go round." The Public Security Bureau directly offered a reward of 10,000 yuan to catch the thief who stole the manhole cover. This suddenly made many people excited, and they started to search for the thief who stole the manhole cover. Specifically,
I haven’t counted the number of people in detail, but there are quite a few.
…
Wang Xiaolong's work efficiency is really high. It only took one day to purchase a large number of brand new cement covers.
In order to ensure the safety of the cement cover, Ma Xiaoyao specially conducted an experiment, which was to let a heavy truck roll over the cement cover back and forth to test the load-bearing capacity of the cement cover. After being crushed by the heavy truck dozens of times, the cement
The cover is still intact, but there are a few tire marks on the surface.
Seeing that the load-bearing capacity of the cement cover was indeed about the same as that of the iron manhole cover, Ma Xiaoyao was immediately overjoyed and ordered the relevant departments to replace the manhole cover immediately. The leader had spoken. Of course, the people below had to work hard. In less than half a day, the entire manhole cover would be replaced.
All the well covers in the county have been replaced with cement covers. Not to mention, the replacement of the cement covers has added a different kind of beauty to Dongcheng County.
Ma Xiaoyao stayed in the office until about seven o'clock in the evening. After hearing that all the cement covers had been replaced, Ma Xiaoyao's tense face showed a smile, then he got up and left the office, went downstairs, and returned to his residence by car.
That night, Ma Xiaoyao had a great appetite. He ate two large bowls of rice, and then had a good sleep. Ma Xiaoyao knew that no matter how stupid a thief was, he would not steal a cement lid. A cement lid weighs dozens of kilograms.
, the thickness is more than 20 centimeters, and there are only two or three steel bars inside. You spend a lot of effort to smash the cement cover, and then take out three steel bars and sell them for ten or eight yuan? This is simply a joke! It’s not worth it!
Ma Xiaoyao firmly believed that thieves would never steal the cement lid, so Ma Xiaoyao could eat and sleep in such a relaxed manner. The troubles that had bothered him for more than twenty days were finally resolved, and his mood finally cleared up.
…
Sleep until dawn.
Ma Xiaoyao opened his eyes and stretched a lot: "It feels good to have a solid sleep. I feel full of strength!" Ma Xiaoyao twisted his neck, got up and got dressed, and then went to the bathroom to wash up.
Then Ma Xiaoyao turned on the gas stove and cooked some noodles.
In recent days, Ma Xiaoyao makes breakfast by himself and rarely goes out to eat, just for convenience. To be honest, Ma Xiaoyao is a relatively lazy person. He would rather eat less than waste money.
Have the strength to go out and look for a hotel.
After breakfast, Ma Xiaoyao took a car to work at the county government. As soon as he opened the door of the office, he saw Wang Xiaolong holding a mop in a daze, frowning, and seemed to have something on his mind. Ma Xiaoyao asked: "
Xiaolong, why are you in such a daze?"
Wang Xiaolong came back to his senses and hurriedly greeted Ma Xiaoyao: "Leader, you are here..."
"Why were you in a daze just now? Are you worried?" Ma Xiaoyao walked to the desk, bent down and sat on the chair, then picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
"Leader...I...I have something to report to you..." Wang Xiaolong said hesitantly.
"Well, you say." Ma Xiaoyao nodded.
"Leader...I said...don't be angry..." Wang Xiaolong said hesitantly.
Ma Xiaoyao raised his head and looked at Wang Xiaolong: "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be hesitant."
Wang Xiaolong grinned: "What... I lost several manhole covers last night..."
"What!" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly widened: "What did you say? The manhole cover was stolen again?"
Wang Xiaolong nodded: "Yes."
"Didn't I tell you yesterday to replace all the well covers with cement covers? Have you done it?" Ma Xiaoyao said in a deep voice.
"It's done. I went to the site in person yesterday to see that all the well covers in the county were replaced with cement covers... You personally spoke to the leader. The relevant departments below did not dare to be lazy and worked overtime to replace the well covers."
Wang Xiaolong said hurriedly.
Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "Since all the covers have been replaced with cement covers, why are there still thieves stealing?"
"This..." Wang Xiaolong didn't know how to answer.
Ma Xiaoyao took a breath and asked: "How much does the cement lid weigh? How many steel bars does it contain?"
"A cement cover is more than 20 centimeters thick and weighs more than 40 kilograms. It can be said that it is still very heavy. As for the steel bars... there are probably up to three steel bars in a cement cover." Wang Xiaolong replied.
"How much can three steel bars be sold for?" Ma Xiaoyao then asked.
"This...if it is sold to a scrap collection station, it can be sold for ten or eight yuan." Wang Xiaolong thought for a while and said.
"Only ten or eight yuan?" Ma Xiaoyao's mouth twitched.
Wang Xiaolong nodded: "The steel bars inside the cement cover are very thin and not heavy. Selling them as scrap is not even worth a few bucks."
Ma Xiaoyao said with a crooked mouth: "A cement lid weighs about forty kilograms, which is nearly ninety pounds. It is not light. Even a strong young man wants to move the cement lid. It is very laborious. If it were a human body
People with poor temperament cannot move the cement lid at all. On the other hand, if you want to get the steel bars inside the cement lid, you must smash the cement lid. However, it is very laborious to smash a cement lid that is more than 20 centimeters thick.
It’s more time-consuming, and most importantly, after all the hard work of smashing the cement cover and taking out the steel bars, you can only sell them for ten or eight yuan. This effort and reward are too disproportionate, right? Now you can earn well by doing any job.
Dozens, even picking up garbage on the road is much better than smashing cement lids, right? What do people who steal cement lids think? Are they crazy because they are short of money? Even if you are short of money, there is no need to steal
Cement cover? Isn’t this too worth it?” At the end of the sentence, Ma Xiaoyao’s brows furrowed deeply.
"I also think thieves... are a little too stupid. I used to steal well covers, which was understandable. After all, a piece of iron manhole cover weighs dozens of kilograms. You can still make a lot of money selling scrap metal, but the thief steals cement."
Lid... This is a bit nonsense... There are so many things that can be stolen in this world. Stealing anything else is more valuable than a cement lid, and it saves effort... I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out... Unless...
...The thief who stole the well cover is an idiot, a fool!" Wang Xiaolong said with a frown.
Ma Xiaoyao took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff: "If the thief was an idiot, he would have been caught by the police a long time ago, and he would not be able to get away with it now. Judging from the thief's modus operandi, he is very cautious.
, and he is very intelligent and physically strong... In fact, I have always suspected that the thief is one person? It is still very difficult for one person to steal a dozen well covers weighing dozens of kilograms in a short period of time.
...So I think the thief is probably not one person, but several people committing the crime at the same time." According to normal thinking analysis, what Ma Xiaoyao said makes sense and is not wrong, but the matter of the manhole cover missing cannot be solved with normal thinking.
Analysis, because this incident itself is an act of revenge...
In fact, the job of stealing well covers is still very tiring. Haten also thought about finding a few helpers, but after thinking about it carefully, he finally gave up the idea because he did not want to reveal his whereabouts. Who knew about stealing well covers?
The less the better, only in this way will Hateng be safer...
For the sake of safety, Hatten could only endure the hard work and steal the well cover by himself. Ever since he stole the well cover, Hatten had not had a peaceful sleep. In less than a month, Hatten had lost a whole body of weight.
Circle, this is a tiring job.
Although he was very tired, Ha Teng was in a very comfortable mood because during the recent period, Li Ming had been very polite to him and promised that when this matter was over, Li Ming would reward Ha Teng well... Ha Teng's
So I did such dirty things as stealing the manhole cover just to please Li Ming, and now it seems the effect is pretty good.
Ma Xiaoyao exhaled a puff of smoke: "For whatever reason, the thief got involved with the manhole cover. Even if we replaced the cement cover, the thief still stole it... There is only one way to solve the problem of the manhole cover being stolen.
The solution is to catch the thief. As long as the thief is caught, the matter will be solved."
"But the thief is very cunning. The police have been investigating for several days and still found nothing." Wang Xiaolong twisted his mouth.
"No matter how cunning a thief is, he will show his flaws. As long as we have enough patience, we will be able to bring the thief to justice sooner or later!" Ma Xiaoyao said coldly.
Wang Xiaolong nodded: "The leader is right, no matter how cunning a thief is, he will show his flaws. As long as he finds clues, he will follow the clues and catch the thief. When the time comes, he must punish the thief severely to set an example and give other thieves a deterrent effect.
, let them know that stealing will be severely punished, especially stealing public facilities and equipment, the punishment will be even greater!"
