The fleet is not very large, with just a few short-distance buses and long-distance trucks, and the rest are some spare parts, various repair equipment, etc.
Nowadays, drivers have to learn how to repair their own cars, otherwise, the consequences of a breakdown on the road would be serious.
Normally, no one would come to steal from the caravan, but on this evening when they were feasting and drinking, quite a lot of things were stolen from the caravan.
No one dared to touch the car, because not everyone can drive it.
What was lost was half a truckload of food.
It was the food on a Jiefang truck. It had just been loaded and was about to be sent to other cities at daybreak.
This was grain from the grain station. When the truck driver arrived at dawn, he saw the half-empty carriage and reported the case immediately.
It was not until they heard the familiar "Wuwawa" sound that Zhao Wei and Master Liu woke up from their dream. They nervously pushed open the office door and rushed out.
In just a few minutes, the truck driver had blisters on the corners of his mouth. He excitedly grabbed Master Liu and started to question him.
"Master, what are you doing? Before I left yesterday, I repeatedly reminded you to pay close attention to this car. There are important supplies on it, and nothing can go wrong."
"Now look... there are four tons of food in total, and half of it has been stolen. How are we going to make up for this loss?"
…
When Master Liu saw the freight bill, his eyes went dark and he almost suffocated.
Two tons of grain were lost. The responsibility was too huge and it was something he couldn't bear.
In just a short while, the leaders of the convoy had heard the news and came over. They were naturally disappointed with his dereliction of duty. After criticizing him, they said that the most important thing was to get the food back as soon as possible, so they quickly gathered all the people in the convoy.
Those men with caps circled the car several times and hung around in the convoy for a while, and they got some useful clues.
There was not one thief but a group of them.
The parking surface was a mixture of wet and dry conditions, leaving many messy footprints.
Moreover, they seemed to be using horse-drawn carriages for transportation, as the ruts of two or three carriages could be seen at the entrance.
But it was impossible to find out where the carriage went. After all, the streets were crowded with traffic and the traces on the ground were quickly covered.
Master Liu was suspended from his job immediately, which made Zhao Wei feel very sorry.
"It's all my fault. I hurt you. If I hadn't come to bother you last night, maybe..."
Master Liu shook his head bitterly: "It has nothing to do with you. I never thought that someone would come to steal things. If you hadn't come, I would just be sleeping and wouldn't have noticed these thieves. Sigh..."
"Just wait, this won't end like this."
Zhao Wei jumped onto the truck unwillingly. After a careful inspection on the floor, he determined the number of thieves, which was about seven.
Moreover, the footprints of one of the men looked very familiar, and were especially similar to those of one of the men who had stolen his tiger.
Thinking of this, he immediately grabbed a block and revealed all his guesses.
"Hello, comrade. I am a villager from Yushu Village, my name is Zhao Wei. Regarding the theft last night, I have a more reliable clue that may help you recover the food."
That man was the person in charge of this case, and everyone called him Captain Zhou.
After hearing the news, I naturally took it very seriously.
"Comrade Zhao Wei, please tell us your clues in detail. If you can solve this case, you will be a great hero!"
Zhao Wei didn't want to be a hero, he just briefly recounted the incident of the footprints he had seen, and then said: "They are from Haozitun. I looked at the traces left by the footprints and inferred that the incident happened no more than two hours ago, that is, at three or four in the morning, when people are most sleepy."
"If they really did it, then we should drive in this direction now to rob them. We might find an unexpected surprise along the way."
It takes more than an hour to drive to Haozitun.
The other party was pulling so much heavy goods, and the horses must have been moving very slowly, so they would have been able to hide the food in two hours.
Upon hearing this, Captain Zhou did not dare to hesitate and directly asked everyone to get in the car. Before leaving, he thought for a moment and took Zhao Wei with him.
This person's research on these things is so professional that it might be of great help to them in solving the case this time.
Everyone was speeding along the way, and the speed was quite fast.
Fortunately, it was early in the morning and there were not many pedestrians and vehicles on the road, so the journey was quite smooth.
After driving for about half an hour, I heard Zhao Wei hurriedly call for a stop.
He had sharp eyes and could tell from the marks left by the sudden braking of the carriage on the ground and the appearance of the carriage running off the road that a carriage had crashed here.
Everyone was so busy looking for a suspicious carriage on the road that they didn't see this and ignored it.
But Captain Zhou decided to listen to Zhao Wei and stop the car to check.
As a result, they saw a horse-drawn carriage overturned under the ridge of a field. The horse had fallen quite hard and was weighed down by many heavy sacks. There were five people nearby, trying hard to pull at the sacks in an attempt to free the horse.
Zhao Wei stood by the road, pointed at the sacks and said, "It says Qinghe Grain Station on it, so it's obviously part of the lost supplies."
"Catch them quickly, don't let them run away."
He immediately jumped down from the ridge of the field, which was about four or five meters high, quite high.
