Qin Yao urged the children to drink some water to cool down, led Liu Yang into the main room and sat down, took the notebook he handed over, and read it carefully.
The information after digital statistics is more intuitive and clear at a glance.
Before opening the notebook, Qin Yao felt that Liu Yang took too long to complete the task. It took him half a month just to count the number of migrant construction workers.
But now when I opened the book, I was quite surprised.
No wonder it took him so much time. It turned out that he had counted all the migrant population in Liujia Village.
Normally, everyone just thought that there were a lot more people coming from outside the village, but when they saw the numbers, they realized that there were actually 235 floating population outside Liujia Village.
Among them, there were as many as seventy-eight migrant construction workers, and the rest were workers recruited by the stationery factory from other villages.
You should know that there is a Shanghe Village deeper in Liujia Village, and the total population of the village, young and old, is less than sixty.
The number of floating population in Liujia Village is already very large.
If we allow this floating population to continue to grow without managing and counting it, the consequences will be disastrous.
Liu Yang nervously watched the changes in Qin Yao's expression. Seeing her frown seriously at first, and then relax her brows and smile with a hint of surprise, his heart finally settled down a lot.
Data statistics is a troublesome job. Liu Yang investigated everyone's name, age, hometown, family size, and whether they have other relatives or friends living in Liujia Village.
The first few items are basic information, and the last one is an important indicator for screening.
Those who have relatives or friends in Liujia Village can testify for each other and prove their innocence.
It can also play a role in mutual supervision and reduce the probability of committing crimes.
Qin Yao remembered the appearance of the two spies very clearly. She told Liu Yang their facial features and asked him to point out the one who matched the description.
The information of two people was quickly screened out, one was named Zhang San and the other was named Wang Wu. Both were 23 years old and from Luojiawan.
"That's all? Is there no other information? Are they married? What are the names of their wife and daughter? Are there other people in the family?" Qin Yao asked doubtfully.
Liu Yang shook his head, "No, they are both orphans, and they said that their families are poor so they haven't married yet."
When Qin Yao heard this, she thought it was so suspicious, if you two are not thieves, then who are the thieves?
Qin Yao pointed at the names of the two men with her index finger, then looked up at Liu Yang with a serious expression.
Liu Yang's heart skipped a beat. "Village Chief, are you saying that these two people might be thieves?"
"Catch him." Qin Yao stood up and said fiercely.
Liu Yang's expression changed drastically, he became excited and a little nervous. After all, he had never done this before and didn't know what the rules were for a moment.
"Village Chief, are we going to catch them now?"
Qin Yao nodded heavily, "Right now, before they notice and run away, go find a few tall men and tie them up while they are preparing dinner and haven't noticed yet. I will personally send them to the government office tomorrow and let the county magistrate make the decision."
Liu Yang's expression became serious and he asked Qin Yao if she had anything else to say.
Qin Yao said, "You go find someone first. I'll go to their rental house and keep an eye on them. Remember, be quick and gentle."
"Okay!" Liu Yang agreed, and was about to run out, but Qin Yao hurriedly stopped him, "You go on foot."
It's not dark yet, and running will attract too much attention.
"Pretend nothing happened." Qin Yao reminded again.
Liu Yang wiped his face, took two deep breaths to make himself look more normal, and then strode quickly towards the village.
Guessing that he had entered the village, Qin Yao then found two bundles of hemp ropes, went outside the door and looked towards the river bank. She did not see the two spies, so they must have gone back to cook.
After all, even if he is a professional spy, he is still a human being and he needs to fill his stomach before continuing his mission.
Qin Yao and Dalang's brothers and sisters immediately said, "You guys eat first. I'm going to go out and do something."
After saying that, he picked up the hemp rope and quickly rushed to the residence of Zhang San and Wang Wu.
A few wisps of smoke rose from the dilapidated abandoned house, and the sound of a few conversations could be heard faintly.
Qin Yao squatted in the grass beside the house. Wang Wu, who was standing in the yard, seemed to have noticed something. He raised his eyes and looked towards the wasteland for a few times. When he found nothing unusual, he withdrew his gaze.
The two were very cautious. Perhaps because the village had recently started investigating information on outsiders, they vaguely realized that they might be targeted.
But seeing that Qin Yao seemed fine, he couldn't help but suspect that he was overthinking.
After all, the scope of this investigation is very large, and no outsider is spared. It is mixed with truth and falsehood, and for a while it is difficult to figure out what the purpose is.
However, the population census was not a good thing for the two of them.
But the two of them never expected that the accident would come so suddenly.
Urgent footsteps were heard behind them. Qin Yao and Wang Wu, who was watching in the yard, looked towards the place where the incident happened at the same time. One of them raised the corner of her lips, while the other's face suddenly changed!
"Someone is coming from the village!" Wang Wu hurriedly shouted to Zhang San who was cooking in the house.
Zhang San hurriedly dropped the spatula and went outside. In just a short while, the gate of the courtyard was kicked open by someone.
Qin Yao was the leader, followed by Liu Yang and seven or eight other young men from the village holding farm tools, and they rushed in aggressively.
Qin Yao raised her hand and pointed at the two people in the yard, and ordered: "Catch these two thieves for me!"
The villagers immediately surrounded the two men.
Zhang San and Wang Wu looked panicked, but Zhang San explained innocently: "The village chief must have misunderstood us. We didn't steal anything."
Qin Yao would not give him a chance to explain, and shouted sternly: "Don't listen to their nonsense, capture them quickly!"
As soon as the two of them saw each other, they realized their identities had been exposed, and without saying a word, they split up and tried to escape.
Qin Yao snorted and laughed, threw the hemp rope in her hand, made a circle around each of them, and tied them tightly. She closed it suddenly and pulled it, and the two men fell to the ground screaming in pain.
Seeing this opportunity, Liu Yang and others rushed forward and quickly caught the two men with farm tools.
Qin Yao hit another person with an iron punch, and the two fainted on the spot before they could even fight back.
Qin Yao ordered everyone to tie the two men's hands and feet together with hemp ropes. When everyone was not paying attention, she secretly stuffed the jade stones that had been prepared for them into their arms as stolen goods.
The value of this jade is the most difficult to determine, and there are marks on it. When the time comes, it will be whatever she says it is worth.
Of course, such a crude trick could not be hidden from the professional detectives.
Fortunately, no one sought justice for these two "orphans", and they were convicted of the crime.
From rushing into the yard to capturing the two spies, the whole process took no more than half a cup of tea, so fast that no one else in the village could react.
He stood at the door holding a bowl of rice, watching the team escorting the thieves pass by her in a mighty procession, and asked in shock: "What are you guys doing?"
Without even turning his head, Liu Yang shouted loudly: "Let's go catch the thief!"
"What?" He spat out a few grains of rice in excitement and quickly called for her family to come and watch the fun. (End of this chapter)
