Chapter 503 Homicide Case

Everyone went back inside and had just sat down when the phone rang.

When Sheng Xiping answered the call, he learned that it was from Dajianchang, looking for Liu Yujiang.

Liu Yujiang took the phone, and after exchanging only a few words, his expression suddenly changed. He hung up and immediately turned to leave.

Seeing this, the Sheng family felt it was inappropriate to keep them any longer, and hurriedly went out to see them off.

"I don't know what happened at the Dajianchang. Your brother's face looks off. It might be something serious."

Watching Liu Yujiang's car disappear without a trace, Sheng Liancheng couldn't help but mutter.

"Who knows? It looks like something's happened. Let's go back to the forest farm tomorrow and ask around then."

Sheng Xiping also felt that something big must have happened.

None of them could guess what had happened at the large alkali field, so they simply stopped thinking about it.

Qianchuan Forest Farm and Dajianchang have been quite peaceful all these years, so how did a murder occur?

Upon hearing this, Secretary Zhao and the others quickly waved their hands, saying that they had already drunk enough in Donggang.

After listening to the three people's work reports, Zhou Mingyuan nodded happily.

"What the hell? Someone's been murdered? Who died?" Sheng Xiping was also startled.

Apart from Director Guo, the rest of them are all quite old and can't handle drinking like that.

That's good. Now they all know your relationship with the Wu family, and they'll definitely be able to take care of you in the future.

The Zhou family was naturally very happy to see Sheng Xiping.

"Boss, aren't we going to your father-in-law's place today? It's getting late, why don't you take some things with you?"

With such a high-ranking official, once the locals find out, they'll definitely come to invite him.

Okay, let's drink another day when we have time. I really can't today.

No matter what Zhou Mingyuan said, the three of them refused to stay and drink any more, so they could only chat over tea.

They chatted until almost five o'clock, then the three got up to say goodbye. Sheng Xiping and his wife also took their four children and went home.

At noon, Sheng Xiping had some drinks and lunch with his father-in-law and brother-in-law. The family didn't leave immediately and chatted with Zhou Mingyuan and his son for a while.

While they were chatting, Secretary Zhao, Deputy Director Chen, and Director Guo from the Resources Department arrived at the Zhou family's house.

"Xiao Guo, you did a good job, and you thought of everything very thoroughly."

Zhou Mingyuan's perspective on things is completely different from Sheng Liancheng's.

Zhou Mingyuan and his son chatted with Sheng Xiping, while Wang Chunxiu, along with her daughter-in-law and daughter, cooked a variety of delicious dishes in the outer room.

"No, no, Director Zhou, we all drank too much in Donggang. We were just thinking of coming back to tell you the good news. Otherwise, we would have gone home to sleep long ago."

As soon as Sheng Xiping entered the house, Sheng Liancheng said with a mysterious look on his face.

Director Guo was very pleased to be praised by his superiors and quickly expressed his gratitude.

Sheng Liancheng repeated what Chen Weiguo had said to Sheng Xiping.

Upon learning that the Wu family had left, Zhou Mingyuan nodded, "I guessed so."

And those who are envious of your wealth and want to sabotage you behind your back, they'd better think twice.

Meanwhile, the ginseng planted by the Forestry Bureau will also be collected and processed by the ginseng farm according to market conditions.

It's no wonder Liu Yujiang rushed back in such a hurry, especially since this happened during the Chinese New Year.

"You're in charge of things related to the mineral water plant. Do a good job, and the bureau will definitely reward you."

"Good, good. In this way, the forestry workers in each forest farm will have work to do, and the bureau will also have its burden reduced. Not bad, not bad."

In addition, the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau agreed to work with a ginseng farm to jointly develop the natural spring water located under the jurisdiction of Songshan Forest Farm and invest in building a mineral water plant.

"Hey honey, hurry up and get some dishes ready. I need to have a drink with Lao Zhao and Xiao Guo. It's the New Year, and we have to celebrate this happy occasion."

"Thank you for the compliment, Director Zhou. Don't worry, Director Zhou, I will definitely run the mineral water plant well and generate more revenue for our bureau."

Zhang Shuzhen picked out a few items from the gifts brought by the Wu family and had her son take them to his in-laws' house.

"Do you remember that widow surnamed Tao from Dajianchang? Her husband died suddenly a few years ago, leaving her with two children."

Tell your father-in-law we won't be going over to join the fun; we still have plenty of leftovers at home.

Overjoyed, Zhou Mingyuan urged Wang Chunxiu to quickly prepare a few more dishes, as he wanted to have a drink with Secretary Zhao and the others.

This morning, someone discovered that Widow Tao and her two children were dead in their home. Widow Tao had been stabbed multiple times, and the two children were also killed.

"Boss, Wei Guo just called. Guess why Yu Jiang and the others rushed back? There's been a murder at the Dajianchang."

The forest farms under the Forestry Bureau utilize existing land to plant small berries such as blueberries, honeysuckle berries, and schisandra berries, as well as edible fungi and medicinal fungi, with one ginseng farm responsible for recycling and processing.

Now that the son-in-law has arrived, the Zhou family must treat him well.

It turns out that this morning, the three of them went to Donggang Ginseng Farm and discussed cooperation with several leaders of the farm.

Zhou Qinglan and her four children stayed at her parents' house last night and didn't come back this morning. Sheng Xiping was too lazy to drive, so he carried his things and walked to his in-laws' house.

Following friendly consultations and based on the principle of mutual benefit, Songjianghe Forestry Bureau and Donggang No. 1 Ginseng Farm reached an in-depth cooperation agreement.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping suddenly remembered that there seemed to be such a person.

This widow Tao was quite beautiful. After her husband died, she didn't remarry and raised her two children alone.

People say that widows attract a lot of gossip, let alone a young and beautiful widow. Many men in Dajianchang and Qianchuan Forest Farm have their eyes on her.

Sheng Xiping had heard Yu Haibin and his brother mention that the young widow had been flirting with many men, engaging in illicit affairs.
