Thanks to the efficient captain of the team.
When Zhao Wei and his team chased after them, several vehicles were organized to follow behind them.
There is strength in numbers.
The people who stole the grain were quickly taken away.
The food was naturally loaded onto the carts and sent back to the convoy.
As for the injured horse, it was also carried onto the cart.
Regardless of whether it can survive or not, as a tool of crime, this horse can never be returned to the people of Haozitun.
While the people in the convoy were busy halfway on the road, Zhao Wei and his team had already parked the car on a small road in Haozitun.
The road in this place is narrow and vehicles cannot enter.
Moreover, the road was muddy and slippery, and it would be troublesome to get in on foot, even if there were more than ten of them, whether they could catch anyone or not.
But when it comes to food security, we have to grit our teeth and move forward no matter how bad the conditions are.
Fortunately, the weather was nice and the sun came out, which was a rare sight.
This winter, it has been cold, rainy and snowy all the time. It is very rare to see a blue sky and white clouds with the scorching sun like this one.
Although the group walked in a hurry, they were obviously in a much better mood than when they first arrived.
At this time, everyone's trouser legs were covered in dirty wet mud, and their shoes were stuck in the mud, making it difficult to pull them out.
When they reached a fork in the road, Zhao Wei stopped everyone and pointed to the fields not far away.
"The food... should be there."
Everyone squinted their eyes and vaguely saw a few shaking black dots, but nothing else was clear.
"How could they hide the food there? It doesn't make sense!"
This is an open-air environment. Once the food gets damp, it will rot and sprout and become inedible.
We've worked hard to get so many good things, but we can't just plant them in the ground in the middle of winter.
Zhao Wei couldn't explain it. He also didn't know what was going on in that place. It was a little unbelievable that grain was transported here.
However, he believed in his expertise, and no clue escaped his eyes. That was the scanner and the data analysis library...
Everyone looked at Captain Zhou, not knowing what arrangements he would make. Deep down, they hoped to go to the village and conduct a formal investigation and visit.
This is the most basic case handling procedure.
Captain Zhou thought of the grain that had overturned on the ridge of the field, and finally decided to trust Zhao Wei once.
The other party has never let me down.
"For this operation, listen to Comrade Zhao Wei and cooperate with him as much as possible to recover the losses of the people as soon as possible."
Captain Zhou had spoken, and everyone had no more objections and headed towards the field.
It looked quite close, but it actually took me more than half an hour to walk there, which was pretty tiring.
Zhao Wei took a look at the scene. These people had already run away without a trace. There were only messy footprints on the ground, indicating that they had been there.
The crowd couldn't figure out what was going on here, so they just wandered around aimlessly. Finally, they were very tired, so they squatted on the grass beside the ridge and relaxed.
Zhao Wei never gave up on investigating the scene, and neither did Captain Zhou. He was extremely anxious at the moment, and driven by his sense of responsibility, he did not dare to relax for a moment.
Of course, he did not forget to observe Zhao Wei. The other party's detailed investigation method seemed quite professional and experienced, as if he had received special training.
To be honest, these people seemed a bit amateur in front of him.
After all, there were not very professional criminal investigation methods in this era.
Just as he was deep in thought, he saw a flash of joy on Zhao Wei's face.
Did the other party discover something?
He followed the gaze and soon saw a pile of rotten leaves.
They are all scattered on the ground in a messy manner, but they are only found in this place and not anywhere else, which is somewhat different.
Then Zhao Wei was seen standing up, tiptoeing there, stepping carefully, and then suddenly bending down and exerting force to lift up a large wooden lid.
Everyone stared at the scene in amazement. In the mud, no one expected that Zhao Wei actually discovered something unusual, so they rushed forward to check it out.
There was actually a large cellar there.
There is white lime sprinkled inside. When you get close to the entrance of the cave, a pungent smell hits your nose, which is quite irritating.
Soon, two thinner guys jumped down first.
They had matches in their hands, which they lit and then searched inside. After burning half a box of matches, the two began shouting at the entrance of the cave.
"Captain, it's really dirty, there are too many, what should we do now?!"
It would take two horse-drawn carriages to transport two tons of grain.
Since the car couldn't get in, we could only look for a horse-drawn carriage.
Zhao Wei had no way to solve this kind of problem, so he just left it to them to figure out a solution themselves.
As for those accomplices, there is no need to rush. We just need to go around the village to find out who are the ones driving the carriage out, and we will catch them back soon.
In this cold winter, it is quite difficult for the other party to escape.
"Captain Zhou, I think the matter is over now. I have some things to do at home, so I won't bother you any more."
Zhao Wei said goodbye, and Captain Zhou said hurriedly: "Wait a minute, Comrade Zhao Wei, you have helped us so much this time and solved the case. We need to report to the higher-ups to publicize and reward you for what you have done."
"In addition, given your excellent performance, you can join our team and serve the people together in the future. What do you think?"
This was similar to how the team thanked Zhao Wei. Zhao Wei didn't like these false names, so he waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning. The credit belongs to everyone."
"Forget about joining. I love freedom and like to be an idle person. I won't cause any trouble to you guys!"
"That's it. You guys keep working hard. I'm leaving now!"
He left in a hurry, without giving anyone present any chance to try to keep him, which made people sigh.
"Alas... it's a shame not to keep such a talented young man."
"With him here, we can save ourselves so much trouble!"
Captain Zhou felt very sorry, but he also knew that it takes two to tango. The other party was not interested in this, so he could only accept it helplessly.
However, the rewards that are due must still be given, and this cannot be dispelled with just a few words.
Everyone shook off their previous fatigue and began to busy themselves with moving things around the place, only sending two people back to report the news.
It takes about an hour or two to complete the round trip.
Moreover, it is also involved in arresting criminals, so a lot of manpower is needed.
This place is very close to Yushutun, and Zhao Wei walked back.
Fortunately, I didn’t buy anything this time, so it’s easier to go with empty hands.
But when he returned home, everyone was heartbroken when they saw how miserable he looked.
I was busy boiling water for bathing and making ginger soup.
