Chapter 146: Catching the person red-handed?
Grain station.
After Li Kailang finished delivering food to the village behind, time gradually came to the end of get off work.
The task of the steel mill is to meet a time limit.
After a busy day, the three of them finally managed to complete the task before getting off work. It was impossible to be lazy.
"Okay, the food has been delivered. You can go back first. I have something else to take care of."
Li Kailang plans to go to Wangjia Village again before getting off work.
"Is there something wrong? Do you want us to go with you?" Zhang Fen asked.
"That's not necessary. I'll be back soon. You guys should go back first before you get off work."
Zhang Fen and Niu Qiping also realized that Li Kailang was doing private things, so they didn't ask any more questions.
The two drove away, and Li Kailang came to Wangjia Village again.
I only talked about food with the village chief at noon today, and didn't have time to discuss the pig issue in detail.
"It's not that fast. The purchasing station is not collecting live pigs that quickly. So Master Li, please come back the day after tomorrow."
"When the purchasing station's quota of live pigs is exhausted, I will give you whatever is left."
"Okay, but I'll come in the evening. When the time comes, be prepared with as many pigs as you can sell. I'll also prepare the money in advance. We'll settle the bill on the spot. Don't let too many people know about this."
"Don't worry, we have been preparing for this for so long, I won't tell anyone." Village Chief Wang promised.
Li Kailang had no intention of buying all the remaining pigs, that was impossible.
He planned to buy it in batches. Although it would be best to buy it all at once, the risk was too great.
Two days passed in a flash, and the night was dark.
As soon as he got off work, Li Kailang got on his bicycle and rode towards Wangjia Village.
"Oh, this road is really long, and it takes so long to ride. It's really a torture! Fortunately, tomorrow is the weekend and I can rest, otherwise I really can't do it!"
It’s a round trip of fifty or sixty kilometers. Ever since the last time he rode here, Li Kailang had made up his mind not to ride here again, but now his plan has been broken.
Li Kailang had thought about driving over, or having someone drop off along the way.
But as luck would have it, today's tasks were not on my way, as they all led to the opposite direction of Wangjia Village, so now I could only ride here by myself.
Li Kailang didn't know that there were several figures following him silently behind him.
Among the people following behind, some were wearing police uniforms, so they were naturally police officers.
The person in the lead was someone Li Kailang was very familiar with, it was Wang Changjun.
Ever since Li Kailang made Wang Changjun lose face in front of everyone last time, Wang Changjun's status in the new route has plummeted and no one trusts him anymore.
After more than a month of hard work, he finally gained everyone's trust in him again, but the supplies he received were only half of what he had before.
Most importantly, he lost face with Sun Yongkai, the purchasing chief.
"Wang Changjun, if your future purchases can only reach this level, then you should be demoted back to your original position, and I will take back this new route."
For the two lines that Wang Changjun was in charge of, the actual purchasing amount was only over 50 million in a month, barely completing the monthly purchasing amount, which was far below Sun Yongkai's expectations.
"By the way, where is your driver in the transportation department? Why don't you ask him for help?" Sun Yongkai asked again.
But Wang Changjun was speechless. He had already broken up with Li Kailang, so it was naturally impossible for him to take advantage of Li Kailang's power.
In order to take revenge on Li Kailang, Wang Changjun racked his brains for the past ten days and tried all kinds of ways, and finally thought of Wangjia Village.
The first time they went to Wangjia Village, Village Chief Wang took a liking to Li Kailang, who also sold live pigs, and even talked to him alone. There must be some unspeakable secret.
He began to pay close attention to the developments in Wangjia Village and discovered some clues.
In the past few days, Wang Changjun followed Li Kailang and also paid close attention to the developments in Wangjia Village.
He discovered that Wangjia Village had sent a batch of live pigs to the purchasing station two days ago, but a lot of the pigs were quickly returned. He could roughly guess the purpose of Li Kailang and Wangjia Village.
Although there is no conclusive evidence at present, Wang Changjun decided to call the police directly.
Let the police follow him and track the transaction between Li Kailang and Wangjiacun, and catch him red-handed! A turtle in a jar!
After hearing this, the police from the police station did not think much and immediately sent someone to follow Wang Changjun.
After all, buying and selling is a serious crime, let alone a large transaction such as buying and selling live pigs.
At this time, Li Kailang was complaining about the bumpy road and didn't notice that someone was following him.
He rode his bicycle along the bumpy mountain road, jolting forward all the way.
"I swear, from now on, I will never ride a bicycle to Wangjia Village again." Li Kailang promised painfully.
He really couldn't stand the painful torture of his buttocks shaking.
The ones who couldn't stand it the most were Wang Changjun and the policemen behind him.
In order to keep a distance from Li Kailang and not let him discover them, the policemen and Wang Changjun rode very carefully.
Because some sections of the road are difficult to travel on, Li Kailang can ride directly through them, but they need to slow down and not wait to make any sound.
They would speed up and catch up when the road conditions improved. As a result, their speed would be sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and they would sometimes take detours, which put a lot of pressure on their thighs.
"Comrade Wang Changjun, do you know where Wangjia Village is?"
"I know, I know!" Wang Changjun responded immediately.
"Well, let's not rush to follow. Let Li Kailang go first and we follow slowly. Do you think this is okay?" Hua Honghai suggested.
"Why don't we follow them? We're just a little bit away from catching up." Wang Changjun said unwillingly.
Hearing this, a young policeman also thought it made sense.
Hua Honghai asked: "How far is this place from Wangjia Village?"
Wang Changjun looked around and said, "It's probably still about twenty miles away."
"Twenty miles is still a long way. There is no need to rush. Besides, buying and selling live pigs takes time. It won't be that fast. We can catch up after a rest."
Wang Changjun thought about it and it made sense.
Although Wang Changjun wanted to catch Li Kailang's handle as soon as possible, the most important thing was that his butt couldn't stand it.
"Okay, then let's take a break and catch up later." Wang Changjun said.
After such a rest, Wang Changjun felt his legs trembling.
If they had continued to follow, they might have been discovered by Li Kailang, but after taking a break.
Li Kailang couldn't find them either.
Li Kailang walked and stopped on the road, and after an hour, he finally arrived outside Wangjia Village.
In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Li Kailang did not enter the village through the gate, but took the village path and went around to the outskirts of the village's back mountain.
Not only is this place far away from the residential area of the village, it also ensures that their transactions will not be easily discovered.
The most important thing is that if someone comes to investigate, Li Kailang can still use the geographical environment here to "sell the stolen goods."
As for running away, there is no need.
Without a letter of introduction, I couldn't enter the city and could only survive in the suburbs.
Besides, Li Kailang has run away and there is no guarantee that he can’t be found.
Li Kailang looked at the time and found that it was not yet the agreed time, so he found a hidden place and slipped into the planting space.
It's late at night, why stay outside in the cold wind when you have your own space?
At the same time, Village Chief Wang was also waiting for the agreed time.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he walked towards the pigsty.
There were two people waiting in the pigsty, feeding twenty or thirty pigs below.
"You two, are you ready?"
"Don't worry, village chief, we are ready!" the two answered in unison.
"Okay, today's incident is only known to heaven and earth, you and I."
"If others find out, you all know the consequences!" Village Chief Wang warned seriously.
Hearing this, the two looked at each other and immediately promised:
"We know! We know! We promise not to tell anyone! We have only been raising pigs in the pigsty today and have never left!"
Village Chief Wang chose these two people he could trust to complete the task.
Their family is relatively poor, with elderly parents and young children to take care of, so Village Chief Wang gave them this opportunity.
If the matter is exposed, they will not be free from responsibility. The most important thing is that they are the backbone of the family. If something goes wrong, the family will collapse.
Therefore, as soon as they received the instructions from the village chief, they agreed without any hesitation.
Just today, each of them can earn 5 dollars. Such a good thing does not come along every day.
Village chief Wang couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the more than 20 black pigs weighing to kilograms in the pigsty.
He had originally been prepared that the purchasing station might not be able to buy all the pigs, and sure enough, it only bought 50 pigs.
There are more than 20 pigs left, and with the capacity of Wangjia Village, it is simply impossible to raise so many.
And they will continue to gain weight, and they will eat more and more. With the capacity of Wangjia Village, 10 is already the limit for their village.
"Fortunately, I had the foresight to find Master Li in advance, otherwise I would be worried to death about so many pigs!"
"I don't know what other villages are doing. With so many pigs, how much can they eat themselves? They can only sell them to factories, but I can't make as much money as them!"
The grain harvest was good, and each village could raise many pigs, but the grain would eventually run out. "Okay, drive out five pigs and follow me!" Village Chief Wang ordered.
He took the two villagers and five pigs to the back mountain to meet Li Kailang.
At the same time, Wang Changjun, Hua Honghai and the other two also arrived late.
Wang Changjun saw Wang Mazi wandering outside at a glance.
Wang Changjun ran over and asked anxiously, "Comrade, have you seen anyone riding a bicycle through the village?"
"It's late at night, why are you pulling me?" Wang Mazi, who was pulled, was a little unhappy.
In the darkness of the night, Wang Mazi glanced at Wang Changjun, "Who are you? You are not from our village, what do you want to do!"
Wang Mazi was about to shout when Wang Changjun covered his mouth.
"Woo woo~" Wang Mazi struggled and punched Wang Changjun in the chest.
Wang Mazi raised his fist and wanted to continue hitting Wang Changjun, but three figures appeared behind him.
"Oh, you have accomplices! It seems that you are not good people! Don't you see where you are? You dare to come to our Wangjia Village to cause trouble, you don't want to live!" Wang Mazi said contemptuously.
Just about to call for help.
"Shut up, open your eyes and take a good look at who we are?" Hua Honghai said seriously.
Hearing this, Wang Mazi opened his eyes wide and with the help of the moonlight, he was able to see the three people in front of him clearly.
"Are you a policeman?"
"Yes! We are police officers and we are performing our duties now. Just answer whatever we ask! Do you hear me?" Hua Honghai said seriously.
"Zhizhi. Got it." Wang Mazi stuttered.
"Let me ask you, did you see anyone riding a bicycle passing by here just now?"
Wang Mazi thought for a while and looked at the environment. It was very empty here, so if there was someone here, they would naturally be able to find him.
"No, I didn't see any. There's no one here."
"No? Are you sure? If you lie, you are also guilty!" Policeman Luo Lin warned.
"There really isn't anybody here! Look, it's so empty here. If there were someone here, how could I not see it?" Wang Mazi wanted to cry but had no tears.
Several people looked at each other, and then looked around, and it was indeed the case.
"Okay, since you didn't see it, forget it. You can take us into the village and we can ask ourselves." Hua Honghai said.
Wang Mazi led four people into the village.
It was dark at this time and not many people were out. If Li Kailang walked outside, he might not be discovered.
"By the way, where is your village chief's home? Take us there, we have something to talk to him about?" Wang Changjun asked.
Since we can't find Li Kailang, we can just look for Village Chief Wang. At least we can find one of them.
"Okay, follow me." Wang Mazi said.
He brought the four people to the home of Village Chief Wang, where only his family members were at home.
After a brief explanation, Hua Honghai stated his purpose.
"Do you know where Village Chief Wang went?"
Hearing this, they shook their heads.
"Why don't you go to the toilet and take a look? Usually my dad goes to the toilet before dinner." said his son.
He thought the police were looking for him for some official business, so he didn't take it seriously.
Upon hearing this, the four of them immediately came to the toilet, only to find the door closed.
"Puff~"
"Oh~"
"Cool~"
"Shh~"
A pungent fragrance wafted over, making everyone frown and stay away.
After waiting for a long time, the toilet door finally opened.
Wang Xiaoer came out of the toilet and saw five pairs of eyes flashing with dim light, staring at him.
Her legs couldn't help but tremble slightly, and the color of her pants between her thighs couldn't help but become darker.
"What do you want to do? I'm going to call for help!" Wang Xiaoer stepped back in fear.
Hua Honghai had seen many storms before, so he didn't care and walked forward to ask.
Seeing Hua Honghai coming over, Wang Xiaoer suddenly said, "Be gentle!"
Suddenly, everyone present was stunned and instantly understood.
Hua Honghai's eyebrows formed a "川" shape, and his eyes revealed a vicious and ferocious look.
"Forget the dirty things in your mind, open your eyes and take a good look at who we are?" Hua Honghai scolded.
Only then could Wang Xiaoer see the police uniform clearly in the night light, and he was immediately embarrassed.
"Let me ask you, where is Village Chief Wang? Where is he?" Hua Honghai asked.
"Just now I saw the villagers go to the pigpen!" Wang Xiaoer replied.
Upon hearing this, everyone rushed to the pigpen without stopping, but found nothing.
But Hua Honghai noticed the footprints on the ground, reached out and touched them, and found them a little wet.
Pointing at the footprints, he said, "These footprints are fresh. Follow them and you will definitely find them."
Everyone lowered their heads and followed the footprints, running towards the back mountain.
At this time, Village Chief Wang and his two companions also came to the outskirts of the back mountain. They checked the time and found that they had all arrived, but they did not see Li Kailang.
"Village chief, is it possible that no one came?" one of them asked.
Village chief Wang also guessed this was the case, but compared to that, he needed Li Kailang more.
"Don't ask so many questions. Hurry up and call someone to see if Master Li is nearby."
Hearing this, the three began to shout.
"Master Li! Master Li!"
Li Kailang, who was enjoying delicious food in the planting space, was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world.
After wiping his mouth after eating, Li Kailang looked at the time.
“It’s almost time!”
As soon as the thought came to me, I appeared in the outside world and heard them calling me.
"Rustle, rustle—" Suddenly a strange sound came from the grass.
"Who's there?" Village Chief Wang shouted, looking vigilantly in the direction of the sound.
It was late at night, and even though they were on the outskirts of the back mountain, there was no guarantee that wild animals would come down from the mountain.
"It's me! Village Chief Wang!" Li Kailang walked out from the bushes.
Seeing this, the three of them felt relieved.
"You scared me to death, why are you hiding there?"
"It's late at night and I should be hiding somewhere. Do you want me to be blown by the cold wind?" Li Kailang said unhappily.
Although it is summer now and the weather is not cold, there is no need to endure the cold wind.
After some pleasantries, Village Chief Wang got straight to the point.
"Here are five pigs. I'll give them all to you. Can you eat them?"
Li Kailang took a look and found that they were all good. It was time to market them and he could eat them if he wanted.
"Don't worry, I can eat five more."
"That's good. I still have some in my pigsty. If you want more, I can give it to you!"
"Yes, of course. Can you calculate how much it is?" Li Kailang asked.
"Then I'll give you the same price as last time. Just give me 5 yuan for 400 pigs."
Village chief Wang had already calculated this price. If it was sold to a purchasing station, it would only be around 200 yuan.
Doubled to 400 yuan, it's only a dozen yuan less, not a big deal.
Li Kailang calculated in his mind and it was about this price.
"Okay, let's go with this price." Li Kailang responded.
Hearing Li Kailang's agreement, not only did Village Chief Wang breathe a sigh of relief, but the two people who followed him also breathed a sigh of relief. If the deal was done, they would only get 5 yuan.
"Master Li, how are you going to take these five pigs away? I can't see your car here." asked Village Chief Wang.
"Don't worry about it. I have my own way." Li Kailang replied and was about to take out the money.
"What are you doing!"
Suddenly, a roar came from a distance, breaking their deal.
