Xu Weiguo heard them say that they saw Chen Ermei in contact with people in the black market.

And yesterday, the two of them witnessed Chen Ermei and others carrying a large quantity of pork, along with other items, into a house.

Xu Weiguo couldn't help but secretly cheer, and guessed that the house must be Xu Weimin's.

He had been worried that he might be overthinking things, because they hadn't found any clues in all these days.

Xu Weimin and Chen Amei did not do anything unusual.

However, this time they caught them red-handed. Although it can't be used directly as evidence to report them, at least we have clues and a direction.

Moreover, based on the information they provided, it is highly likely that their base is in Xujia Village. If it is in Xujia Village, then things will be much easier.

Moreover, given the sheer volume and scale of the goods they handle, if their actions are exposed, they will almost certainly face severe penalties.

It's not appropriate for them to continue participating in the rest; they'll have to gather clues on their own, since this could involve a lot of people.

Xu Weiguo said to the two policemen, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to dinner at the state-run restaurant another day."

"From now on, you don't need to follow her anymore. If you need help later, I'll ask you for assistance."

"Not at all, it's just part of our job. If there's nothing else, we'll head out now. If you need anything later, Deputy Director Xu, please contact us."

...

When Manager Gao called Li Chen and Huang Guiming upstairs, they were still a little dazed. They didn't know why they had been suddenly summoned into the office.

Then Manager Gao explained the situation to them and told them to go to the next office to find Huang Qinqin.

Huang Qinqin will tell them what to do next, and they just need to cooperate.

When Huang Qinqin saw them arrive in the office, she quickly invited them to sit down.

Because Li Chen wasn't very familiar with Huang Qinqin, he seemed a little awkward and didn't dare to speak.

However, Huang Guiming was relatively more familiar with her, so he asked directly, "Manager Gao, you just said that you wanted us to go with you to discuss some pickled vegetables. What's going on?"

Huang Qinqin said mysteriously, "Sit down first, and I'll tell you slowly after you sit down."

Because they were still in the office and there were other colleagues in the room, Huang Qinqin couldn't say that she had recommended the pickled vegetables from Huangjia Village herself.

Instead, he said, "Manager Gao happened to have tried the pickled vegetables I brought from home and thought they tasted good."

"Perhaps it can be sold as a new product in the department store. So I'll have you come with me to Huangjia Village to discuss the matter."

Li Chen and Huang Guiming exchanged a glance, feeling that things were probably not as coincidental as Huang Qinqin had described.

However, this was a good thing for Huangjia Village and the brigade, so they kept quiet.

Huang Qinqin continued, "It's too late this morning, let's wait until noon. We'll finish lunch early and then head to Huangjia Village."

"At that time, Chuchu will also go with us. We will try our best to go and come back as soon as possible, and settle things in the next few days."

Li Chen and Huang Guiming said in unison, "Okay, we understand."

Then, out of curiosity, he asked, "So how do we get there? On foot?"

If it's walking, Huang Guiming and Li Chen don't have any problems.

It's just a question of whether Huang Qinqin and Fang Chuchu can handle it, considering how far away it is.

Huang Qinqin had already considered this issue, and she replied, "I'm not going on foot; I plan to borrow a few bicycles and ride there."

Can you ride a bike?

Li Chen nodded and said, "I can!"

Huang Guiming shook his head, indicating that he wouldn't.

Huang Qinqin nodded to indicate that she understood, and then said, "Then I'll trouble Brother Li Chen to ride his bike and take Brother Guiming back with me."

"Chuchu and I will each ride a bicycle. We'll meet at the entrance of the department store after we finish eating."

...

When Xu Junhui came to pick up Huang Qinqin today, Huang Qinqin mentioned to him that she was going to ride her bicycle back to Huangjia Village in the afternoon and asked him to leave the bicycle for her to use.

Xu Junhui asked curiously, "Are you going back to your grandma's house? Why didn't you wait for me to rest before going back with you?"

"No, I'm going back this afternoon to discuss the department store matter with the brigade. It's not just about going back to see my grandma and the others. I'm going back with my colleagues from the department store."

"Okay then, if you're riding your bike by yourself, please be careful and ride cautiously, okay?"

"Yes, don't worry, I know."

After returning home and finishing dinner, Xu Weiguo called Chen Liang and Chen Mai back to their rooms to sleep, and then sent Xu Hongxia back to her room as well.

When only a few adults remained, he said, "I found Xu Weimin's family. What exactly did they do in the village?"

"They've been colluding with people on the black market and have probably built a farm on the mountain. Someone saw them transporting a large quantity of pork and poultry into Xu Weimin's house."

"However, they said they didn't see them come out of the house, so I speculate that they may have dug some kind of secret passage inside the room."

Zhang Yumei asked in disbelief, "Really? Are they that bold? Wouldn't they be discovered if they built a farm in the village?!"

Huang Qinqin recalled that the last time she saw them, they were heading up the mountain, and she guessed that they might be raising livestock deep in the mountains.

So he said, "It's probably because they raise livestock deep in the mountains, and people in the village generally don't go that way, so they haven't been discovered yet."

Xu Junhui nodded in agreement: "Apart from deep in the mountains, I can't think of anywhere else they could conduct large-scale breeding."

"Now that we have a direction, we should be able to find other evidence soon."

Xu Weiguo, however, was not as optimistic. He shook his head and said, "The black market has a complex web of connections. Even if we know that Xu Weimin's family has dealings with the black market, we dare not act rashly."

"Unless we can find someone who is working with us, it will be difficult to find evidence immediately and take them down in one fell swoop."

Seeing that they were getting more and more silent, Huang Qinqin quickly comforted them, "It's okay. Now that we have a direction, let's take it slowly."

“If they did it, they would definitely leave evidence. I believe that their family must have had grudges against other people.”

"If we can find these people and work with them, we should be able to make progress faster."
