Xu Qianjin also knew that what he was asking was a bit unreasonable, but when he thought about the last spy incident and Chen Qiangwei's calmness and wit, for some reason, his intuition told him that he would definitely gain something from this trip.

Xu Qianjin smiled and said, "I'll tell you what I know. As an outsider, you can just share your opinion."

Then Xu Qianjin recounted what they had investigated over the past few days. Although the incident had only happened three or four days ago, they had really tried their best to understand the matter thoroughly, and now they had sent people to Shengli Commune to continue to understand the situation.

This large-scale kidnapping case occurred on the opening day of the Shengli Commune market day. Thirty-two children were lost in just one day, all of whom were from the company and the market.

The parents of these children found that their children had not returned home for dinner at around 7 o'clock in the evening. They were worried that their children were lost, so they rushed out to look for them. The search was so intense that they found that several children nearby were missing.

The parents who lost their child went to the police station together to report the case. When they arrived at the police station, there was a long queue of people reporting the case, and the cries of grief and wailing were endless.

After two days of statistics, it was found that 26 of the 32 missing children were boys and only 6 were girls. Some of them were brothers and sisters who were abducted together. These abducted children were from Shengli Commune and two nearby brigades.

Chen Qiangwei listened and racked her brain, "What do the parents of these children do for a living? Have they checked?"

Xu Qianjin nodded, his face heavy. "From what we know, the parents of these children are from the radical group that was fired a few years ago."

Chen Qiangwei's heart sank. "Oh no! This is most likely a revenge plot by the descendants of the landlords, and most likely the descendants of those landlords who died at the hands of the radicals."

Xu Qianjin nodded heavily. Otherwise, they couldn't imagine how someone could risk being discovered to do such a big thing.

Xu Qianjin said, "The difficulty lies in the fact that according to the original records, those who died died together as a family. No one escaped."

They were most afraid of cases where there was a clear target but no target. They searched the entire Shengli Commune and the two brigades where the children were missing, but found nothing suspicious.

At this time, Gu Sannai interjected, "Anyone who can do such a thing must be at least an adult. Twenty years ago, people were still very feudal and superstitious.

If a child from a wealthy family is weak, they will listen to the monks and Taoist priests and place the child with someone else until the child has passed the calamity.

Xu Qianjin's eyes lit up, and he said that there must be gains on this trip. Why didn't he think of it? It seemed that they had to go back and check it again.

The area of ​​investigation also needs to be expanded, and we may have to borrow some manpower from local troops to check the hilltops of several nearby communes.

Chen Qiangwei pondered for a moment, "It's unlikely they hid the children in the cave. Thirty-two children, not just two or three. If they were able to abduct the children without anyone noticing, they certainly wouldn't have made a big fuss to transport them up the mountain.

People often go in and out of the mountains to dig wild vegetables, chop firewood, etc., and you might be discovered if you are not careful. Doing so is not worth the risk.

The most dangerous place is the safest place. I believe the criminals will hide the child near the commune and wait until the storm has died down before transporting him out."

Xu Qianjin nodded. "We thought so too. We even went to investigate two miles north of the commune, but found nothing."

Chen Qiangwei recalled the TV dramas she had watched in her previous life, in which wealthy families would have a secret room in their home to store gold, silver, and jewelry.

When fighting against the Japanese Empire, every household had a secret passage. The tunnel warfare in her previous life filled her entire childhood.

"Are there any basements, secret rooms, or underground passages in that area? Have they been thoroughly investigated? Furthermore, I believe there's a traitor within the county. To have kidnapped so many children without anyone noticing, there must have been a long-term and meticulous plan."

As far as I know, the decision to open the market on a pilot day in Shengli Commune was made on short notice by the county leaders. It took only a week from the decision to set the pilot date to the selection of the opening date.

A word awakened the dreamer, and Xu Qianjin stood up quickly. "Sister Qiangwei, Third Grandma thanks you. I'll go back first."

Chen Qiangwei stopped him and said, "Brother Qianjin, wait a moment."

After a while she returned to the room and took out a flashlight and some good things she had saved up.

Chen Qiangwei handed the flashlight to Xu Qianjin and hung the net bag on the handlebar of his bicycle. "Here, be careful on the road."

Xu Qianjin was in a hurry to get back to the bureau and didn't bother to be polite with Chen Qiangwei. He took his flashlight, got on his bicycle and left.

Wang Xiaomai watched Xu Qianjin walking away in the night. "It's hard to do anything these days. Even a high-ranking official like him has to run around everywhere for cases."

Gu Sannai rolled her eyes at Wang Xiaomai and said, "Nothing in this world is easy, unless you just muddle through without pursuing anything."

Everyone felt a little heavy-hearted, but they still did what they had to do the next day, as life had to go on.

Time flies. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th. This is the first real festival that Chen Qiangwei has celebrated in Huaihua Brigade.

Because of the campaign to destroy the four olds, no one celebrated Qingming Festival anymore. Of course, she didn't know whether anyone secretly burned paper money at home behind closed doors.

On this day, Chen Qiangwei went to the commune post office to pick up a package, and took the things that Gu Sannai gave to Sister Guihua to the commune.

After spending some time together, Chen Qiangwei already knew where Sister Guihua's in-laws lived. Thinking that Sister Guihua had to go to work, she simply sent the things to Sister Guihua's house.

Before she even got close to the alley, she was bumped into by a timid man. Chen Qiangwei was so focused on the eggs in the basket that she didn't notice anyone was there. As a result, she was knocked to the ground and many of her eggs were broken.

The man looked at the broken eggs on the floor and said cowardly, "Lady, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Look at this?"

Chen Qiangwei grabbed the man's hand and said angrily, "Why are you running away? Are you a reincarnated ghost? Pay for my eggs first!"

The man timidly tried to break free from Chen Qiangwei's hand, but he looked behind him anxiously, "Comrade, please let go first. It's not good if someone sees you."

Hearing the shrew's cursing coming from far away, Chen Qiangwei snorted and held the man's hand tightly.

A woman with a wide mouth, wearing an apron and holding a spatula, chased after him and said, "Liu Laosan, you idiot, a fool with a piss in your head, you keep bringing everything to that old woman. If you have the guts, go live with her and don't go home."

Chen Qiangwei exclaimed, "We're a family, it's just perfect. No one should leave. Pay for my eggs first."

Wide Mouth glanced at the timid-looking man, then looked at the eggs all over the floor. The yolks and egg liquid were all over the floor, and flies were flying over to eat their fill.
