"Well, it's feasible. There are two people on the other side. I don't think they can come back today. Since there is only one way, let's wait here for them to tire themselves out." Captain Zhou said, "Bai Song, you go to the town with Xiao Ma today. Be smart and ask around. If these two people go back to the town, someone will know about it. If everything goes well, you can come back in the evening." Captain Zhou turned to Ma Zhiyuan and said, "Xiao Ma, if you accompany Bai Song for another day, we will pay you the same amount."

"Captain Zhou, you don't have to worry about this. You will know whether these two people have gone to the town by noon at the latest." Bai Song smiled.

"Hmm?" Captain Zhou was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he realized that the postman, Lao Ma, would arrive in the village at noon today. It would be easy to ask him who he met on the road.

If Bai Song met Lao Ma and confirmed that the people had returned to the village, then Bai Song would go back directly and go with Captain Zhou and the others. By the way, he could also follow Lao Ma to visit Li's house. On the contrary, if Lao Ma did not meet these two people, then it would be a good idea to wait here for them to come back.

Captain Zhou was very happy when he thought of this. He had previously thought that there was something fishy about Team Ma arranging a trainee police officer to go on a business trip. But now he felt that Team Ma's good vision was indeed well-deserved.

Ma Zhiyuan didn't say anything. He charged 50 yuan a day yesterday because he wanted to sell goods here. If he gave up his business and became a guide, the price of a guide in the mountains would not be this high. But for him, who is full of justice, this is not a problem.

Bai Song simply packed his backpack and set off with Ma Zhiyuan. Because they had to come back at night, Ma Zhiyuan left the extra horse behind, and there was no cargo to transport, so the two of them set off on two horses.

The journey was smooth, and we met Lao Ma at around 9 a.m. In a place without communication, many things are not difficult. As long as everyone makes an agreement and abides by it, everything will be OK.

After chatting with Lao Ma for a few sentences and confirming that no one went out in the morning, Bai Song left his phone number with Lao Ma and agreed that if the remittance situation arises in the future, he must send a text message to Bai Song. Lao Ma readily agreed.

It was 11 o'clock in the morning when they returned to the town. Bai Song got off the horse, stretched his body, and agreed with Ma Zhiyuan to meet here at one o'clock. Then he handed the horse to Ma Zhiyuan.

Turning on the phone, that one frame of signal means we have arrived in civilized society.

Bai Song found a hillside with good signal as Lao Ma said, and made a call.

"What's the situation?" Captain Ma answered the call, his words still concise.

Bai Song reported in detail to Team Ma what he had seen and heard in the past two days, as well as Team Zhou and everyone's plans.

"Were the two people you mentioned carrying weapons?" asked Captain Ma.

Bai Song never thought that the Ma Detachment would ask this first, so he answered honestly: "We don't know."

"Nonsense." Captain Ma now understood why Captain Zhou had asked Bai Song to come out to contact them. Who dared to say that there was no danger when three people waited for two people? In this case, the old policeman cared for the new policeman...

Originally, the four of them came here to check household registration. After traveling thousands of miles by plane, no one had planned to carry weapons or have any plans for danger in this mission.

"Well, contact the police station in your township and ask them to send two people with the necessary equipment to go to the village you mentioned this afternoon." Captain Ma said, "I will contact the municipal bureau as soon as possible to send a letter of assistance. When you meet Captain Zhou, tell them that your safety is the top priority. Second, you don't need to worry about the expenses. No matter how much the expenses are, you don't have to worry. Third, when you meet the postman Lao Ma you mentioned, tell him that if there are any more remittances like this in the future, be sure to notify us."

"Okay, Captain Ma, I got it. I've already told him what you said and what Old Ma said." Bai Song remembered what Captain Ma said: "Do you have any other instructions?"

"No instructions." Captain Ma said, "In the few days since you left, based on the clues and pseudonyms in the remittance slip you provided yesterday, we found Li's anonymous safe in the bank. Inside, we found two jadeite pieces of good quality and 100,000 Vietnamese dong in cash. We didn't find her remittance record. It may be in another bank. We are still investigating. Please tell Captain Zhou about these intelligence clues."

"One hundred thousand Vietnamese dong? Is it a lot of money?" Bai Song asked. Could this be the money Li wanted to use to buy a house?

"One dollar can be exchanged for several thousand, and this 100,000 can probably only buy a box of mineral water." Ma Detachment was also confused. The two jadeite pieces were unprocessed raw stones, and it would cost hundreds of thousands to ask professionals to value them, but he really didn't understand what the 100,000 Vietnamese dong meant.

Bai Song was speechless. What kind of money is this? It's so worthless...

"Captain Ma, I have an immature idea." Bai Song pondered for a few seconds.

“Don’t be so polite, just say whatever you want to say.” Captain Ma said magnanimously.

"Well, that's right. I'm still thinking that the two pieces of jade you mentioned are rough stones. So, is it possible that Li or her friend has a water jet cutting machine? And is it engaged in the cutting of rough jade stones? If so, we should not only check these two pieces of jade, but also pay attention to the recent sources of jade in major jewelry stores." Bai Song said: "As far as I remember, the main production area of ​​jade is Myanmar, and the southern Xinjiang province borders Myanmar. The people Li brought home a few years ago, that is, the two people who are suspected to be in the village now, may be jade merchants, or simply smugglers."

Bai Song couldn't stop thinking about the water jet cutting machine, and he said everything that was on his mind in one breath.

"Go on, kid." Captain Ma did not comment but encouraged him instead.

"Ah?" Bai Song was flattered. He was afraid that his leader would say that he was being too smart and that these things had already been checked.

"Ah, what you said is interesting. Go on. I'm listening."

"If this is the case, is it possible that the murderer killed someone for a piece of jade? I heard that some jade is very valuable. Could it be that when cutting the jade raw stone, a particularly valuable piece of jade was found, and Li's friend killed someone to keep it all to himself?" Bai Song said, "If this is the case, if there is any particularly expensive and good jade recently, there may be a problem. Also, the two people in the village are suspects themselves."

"Your analysis makes sense. So, when you go to the township police station, just say a few more words and ask them to keep an eye out for support. I'll send you a few reinforcements. They'll take a plane this afternoon and rush to Dayi County overnight. They'll be where you are as early as tomorrow afternoon." Captain Ma hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
