Zheng Chengwei invited enthusiastically. "Comrade Lu, how about this? I need to go back to the village right now. Would you like to come with me now, or plan to go tomorrow?"
Lu Chen thought for a moment, then pulled out his letter of introduction from his pocket and showed it to Zheng Chengwei. "I'm not sure if it would be suitable for me to go there now. Do you have a place to stay?"
Zheng Chengwei forgot about this for a moment and smiled embarrassedly.
"I do have a place to live, but you know the conditions in our countryside are not good, and I'm worried you won't be able to get used to it."
Lu Chen then took out his ID and handed it to Zheng Chengwei.
"This is my work ID. I think you should know about the murder that happened in the village near yours a few days ago! I came here to investigate this case, but I can't go to that village, so I want to stay in your village first, as an educated youth."
After looking at Lu Chen's ID, Zheng Chengwei asked in confusion
"Comrade Lu, you can go directly to the commune police station. They should be able to help you with this matter!"
Lu Chen shook his head.
"Captain, this won't work. We don't want to alert anyone else, so we can only quietly investigate here."
Although Lu Chen's words were not particularly clear, Zheng Chengwei understood them and nodded.
"Okay, you have luggage to pick up now, so I'll take you back to the village directly." Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. This mission was very important. In order not to alert the enemy, he had to find a way to do it this way.
"Uncle, wait a moment. I'll go get my luggage and be back soon."
After a while, Lu Chen had changed his clothes and walked over with a big package. Zheng Chengwei was stunned to see Lu Chen changed his appearance in just a few minutes, but now he knew not to ask questions that he shouldn't ask, so he didn't ask anything. He nodded to Lu Chen and the two of them walked towards Zhengjiatun.
It was evening when Zheng Chengwei and Lu Chen arrived. The Youth League Institute was very quiet. At that time, the only men in the institute were the two brothers Qi Aiguo and Zhang Jianlin, and the only female educated youth was Liu Jingjing. Qian Yumei had gone to the labor camp, and Zheng Rongrong was in a miserable state under the hands of Zhuang Xiaoyan. Of course, everyone here just thought she had gone home.
Sun Yuqi and Lin Muren both lived outside the Youth League Home, Chu Yan and her husband were inseparable, and Qiao Jianguo also died in the mountains. The team leader knew all this, but he didn't know the details.
So when Lu Chen arrived, Sun Yuqi and the others were all in the house. They came out when they heard the noise and saw the team leader bringing a young man to the Youth League Home. They then realized that there were new Youth League members.
The current person in charge of the Youth League Institute is Zhang Jianlin.
"Captain, are these new educated youth here?"
"Yes, Zhang Zhiqing! Please make arrangements. I will go to the brigade headquarters later to get Lu Zhiqing's rations. You can talk to him about the situation here."
Zhang Jianlin immediately assured.
"Captain, don't worry. I will definitely explain everything to Lu Zhiqing."
Zheng Chengwei then nodded and pushed his bicycle towards the brigade headquarters.
After Sun Yuqi and the others greeted Lu Chen, they returned to their rooms. The weather was hot and there were many mosquitoes, so everyone introduced themselves and returned to their rooms.
Lu Chen glanced at the two rooms with closed doors.
"So these two girls are the good friends Yaoyao mentioned! They are both very beautiful and meet my little sister's aesthetic standards."
Although he was muttering in his heart, he still looked like he was listening attentively to what Zhang Zhiqing said, which made Zhang Jianlin feel very good.
"Lu Zhiqing, you can live in this house! This was also where another educated youth lived before, but he left after a short time. I guess something happened at home!"
As soon as Lu Chen heard it, he knew who he was talking about. It was that idiot Ruan Shaojin! Thinking of this, Lu Chen became angry. If they hadn't been so impulsive and alarmed those people, he wouldn't have come here to feed mosquitoes.
Sun Yuqi didn't care about the new educated youth. Besides, he was a man, so there was no need for her to rush to talk to him.
After getting up early the next morning, Sun Yuqi and her friends went to work. Their task today was to help carry the watermelons out. The so-called carrying the watermelons means helping to carry the watermelons out.
The main reason why watermelons are planted in Zhengjiatun this year is that it is located next to a small river and there is sandy land next to it, so other crops do not grow well here. So this year the team leader wanted to plant some watermelons to increase the income of the village.
This piece of land is not very big, only about ten acres. Unexpectedly, the watermelons planted here this year are growing very well. The members are all hoping that this watermelon field can bring more money to the team.
But when they arrived at the watermelon field, they were furious at the mess in front of them. These were the watermelons that the members had worked so hard to grow, but large areas of watermelons were either rotten or had been picked. These were watermelons that were about to ripen, and that was all money!
The team leader arrived at the watermelon field very quickly. Seeing the ruined watermelons, he felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Accountant Zhang supported him.
"Accountant Zhang, quickly arrange for someone to go to the commune police station and report that our village's watermelons were stolen. Have them come over and take a look!"
Accountant Zhang also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he told his son to go to the commune police station to report the case immediately.
Sun Yuqi walked around the field and found that two people must have destroyed Zhengjiatun's melon field, because there were two people's footprints on the ground, and they both looked like men's footprints.
Sun Yuqi took a look and was about to go out when she saw the male educated youth who had just arrived yesterday also looking at the scene. She raised her eyebrows in confusion, but did not say anything.
"Yuqi, what did you find?"
Sun Yuqi shook her head.
"The site has been destroyed. If the villagers who just arrived here hadn't stepped inside the tower, it should be easy to find. But look at all the footprints here, and I don't know which one is the bad guy's footprint."
Sun Yuqi just said this, but Lu Chen, who was searching for clues inside, looked at Sun Yuqi in surprise.
He didn't expect that the little girl knew all these things, but he didn't think much about it, he was just very surprised.
Director Chen and others arrived quickly and arrived at Zhengjiatun on bicycles an hour later.
Director Chen's final conclusion was the same as what Sun Yuqi saw, but the damage at the scene was too severe, and it was difficult to find the person who destroyed the melon field.
The matter passed just like that. Director Chen didn't know whether the case could be solved. After all, there were not many clues, and it was still difficult to find the person.
Fortunately, although the melon field was destroyed, many of them could be saved. After a day, the team leader and his men finally managed to tidy up the melon field again. They hoped that some smaller watermelons would mature in a while, so as to avoid some losses.
