Blackwater Village.

It faces Baima Village across the water.

When Guan Feng and his two companions arrived, Wang Xun's old classmate had already arrived as well.

Chen Xun!

Deputy squadron leader of Xucheng Branch.

Back then, Wang Xun and I were bunkmates, and we were so close that we even shared the same pair of pants.

Upon seeing Wang Xun get out of the car, he immediately greeted him with a big hug and then looked at the young man who got out of the back seat and asked, "This must be Captain Guan, right?"

Guan Feng greeted him with a smile, "Team Leader Chen!"

Chen Xun grasped Guan Feng's hand and smiled, "Captain Guan, I've heard so much about you! Whether it's footprint identification or computer technology, you're unparalleled in Hua'an. Solving several major cases in a row is a source of pride for Hua'an. I wonder if Captain Guan has the time to give a lesson to the young people in the bureau? Everyone's been eagerly waiting for it!"

Guan Feng laughed and said, "Captain Chen, please don't joke with me. You want me to give them a lecture? What would I talk about? Those embarrassing things?"

Chen Xun burst into laughter.

Wang Xun reminded him from the side, "Captain Guan, don't be modest! In front of my old classmate, I've laid bare all your secrets."

Guan Feng: "..."

Chen Xun laughed heartily and said, "Captain Guan, this is a matter concerning your people, so you can't blame me."

Guan Feng smiled and pointed at Wang Xun with his hand.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries.

Chen Xun explained what he knew: "The car you mentioned is at the east end of the village! The owner's name is Li Dafa. I learned about him before he came. He was the only college student in the village at the time. Later, he responded to the call to return to his hometown and led the villagers to get rich. He is well-known in the entire Shuigou Township and even Xucheng. What case are you investigating? Are there any problems in the process?"

Guan Feng asked, "College students returning to their hometowns?"

Chen Xun nodded and said, "That's right! The other party has a solid reputation in the village and is a very honest person, which is why I found it strange."

Guan Feng briefly explained the situation to the other party, and then said, "It might not be the other party! Obtaining the license plate is probably also a setup. However, what you just said, Captain Chen, has given me a hint. Since the other party is a celebrity in the village, his every move is being watched. He might be a target, waiting for us to expose our movements."

Chen Xun said, “Captain Guan is right. Here’s what we’ll do! We’ll pretend to be from an agricultural trading company and say we’re going to buy grapes. Before we came, I found out that all the hundreds of acres of greenhouse grapes in Heishui Village were planted by him and the villagers.”

Guan Feng said, "This method is good!"

Chen Xun then contacted the local police station and asked them to find someone they knew to inform the village secretary that they wanted to come to the village to buy grapes and asked the village secretary to make an introduction.

A moment later.

The local police station located the person at the time.

The group traveled light, borrowing a regular minivan to go directly into the village.

The village secretary had already received the news, so he treated these "gods of wealth" with great courtesy and personally led them to Li Dafa's house.

Upon hearing that someone wanted to buy a large quantity of grapes, Li Dafa immediately invited the group into his house for a detailed discussion, and said with a smile, "Come on in! The grapes in our village are big and sweet, and most importantly, they are all organically grown, so the quality is absolutely top-notch! You can make any requests you may have."

Guan Feng smiled and said, "That's why we came all this way."

Li Dafa smiled and invited the group into the house.

The village secretary said, "Dafa, I've brought the person to you. I won't get involved in the rest. If you guys need anything, just call me. I'm going back now."

Li Dafa thanked him with a smile.

Guan Feng and the others waved goodbye.

The village party secretary walked out of the courtyard and hadn't taken two steps when he was bumped head-on by someone.

"Secretary Li, what are you doing at Dafajia?"

"What else can I do? When someone comes, I'll show them the way!"

"Someone's here? What for? Could it be... a police car?"

"Hey Dazhuang, can't you ever hope for anything good to happen to people? Why are you bothering Dazhuang for no reason? He's from the city's agricultural trade company, they want to buy grapes, and they were just about to discuss a partnership."

The man blocking the road breathed a sigh of relief and said enviously, "Dafa's business has even expanded into the city?"

Secretary Li said irritably, "They are capable, but they also achieved it step by step through their own hard work. Dazhuang, why are you always focusing on Dazhuang instead of taking care of your own business? Let me tell you, if you come up with any more bad ideas, I'll be the first to not let you off the hook!"

Li Dazhuang said sheepishly, "No way! I was just asking casually!"

Secretary Li waved his hand and said, "Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll head back. There's a ton of stuff waiting for me in the village."

Li Dazhuang watched Secretary Li leave, spat out a mouthful of saliva, and said, "How much can grapes sell for? When I get this money, it'll be enough for you to grow grapes for a year!" He glanced at Li Dafa's house again, then returned to his own house.

......

Li Dafa's house.

The group accepted the tea offered by Li Dafa and then explained their true purpose.

Li Dafa looked surprised and asked, "What did you say? Someone used my license plate?"

Guan Feng nodded and asked, "Where do you usually park your car?"

Li Dafa said, "They're usually in the fields."

Guan Feng said, "Take us there to take a look. If we run into anyone, just say we're inspecting the quality of the vineyard."

Li Dafa hurriedly replied, "Okay, okay."

The group went straight to the field.

All of them are raised in greenhouses.

A minivan was parked safely in front of the shed.

Li Dafa said, "This is the one!"

Guan Feng looked over and carefully compared the two vehicles. They had the same license plate, but the vehicle body was noticeably different from the one in the surveillance video. The vehicle body was older, and the license plate and headlights were also relatively damaged, making it look less new than the vehicle in the video.

Guan Feng nodded and said, "It was indeed a case of being cheated on!"

Li Dafa asked somewhat flusteredly, "Then what should we do? Is this my responsibility?"

Guan Feng shook his head and said, "Don't worry, as long as we find out that you didn't intentionally let the other party steal your license plate and receive improper benefits, this matter has nothing to do with you. However, in order to clear your name, we still hope that you can cooperate with our investigation, and we will find out the truth as soon as possible."

Li Dafu hurriedly replied, "I will definitely cooperate! I will definitely cooperate!"

Guan Feng asked, "Is there anyone you suspect?"

Li Dafa hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "How can you say that? I don't know who would do such a despicable thing."

Guan Feng said, "We've considered it. There are only two possibilities for why the other party chose your car. One is that they think you're a celebrity in the village, so everyone will know about any little thing that happens to you, which gives them a head start. The other possibility is that they have some conflict with you. This way, they can solve the problem of the fake license plate, but also bring you some trouble. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

Li Dafa thought for a moment and said, "If I had to say who in the village I don't get along with, it would only be Li Dazhuang and a few others."

"oh?"

Guan Feng asked, "Tell me in detail."
