Chapter 36 Searching the Entire County



The child took the items to the police station, and everyone was surprised to see the letter and wanted to know what it was.

The message read that recently someone had discovered that there were a lot of high-quality rice and flour being sold in the market, as well as fish. My colleagues and I exchanged glances.

One of them asked the child, "Do you know what the person who wrote you the letter looks like?"

"A man with a birthmark on his face and a limp."

After listening, the group exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, this person looks just like the person we were looking for last year. It seems he's reappeared."

"Then why did you help him deliver this letter? Don't underestimate kids these days."

"He gave me a piece of candy, which I ate. He said he wanted me to deliver a letter, and I thought there was no problem with delivering a letter, so I came."

After hearing this, they had no doubts, asked whose child it was, and then let them go home.

Everyone thought this lame man wouldn't go far, but little did they know that Jianjun and Tingting had the biggest advantage and had already gone far ahead.

Li Chao and the others were furious; he had gotten away again.

"You're saying this is an internal conflict between them."

"It's hard to say. We'll keep an eye out for the next couple of days and try to arrest the person at this address first."

The next day, when the group found that no one had appeared, they realized that they had all run away and moved to another location.

The leader over there, holding 3,000 fish, was anxious and scared, so he had to find another place to trade.

We need to get rid of this first. There's still pork to deal with; we're worried it might spoil. If it spoils, this whole deal will be a complete loss. Nobody would have thought he'd dare to report it.

Now Li Chao and his men have started fishing, hoping to catch them as soon as possible and vent their anger.

After all, they couldn't catch anyone last year. This person can write, so he must be educated. The usual targets are in the city, so they didn't think of the countryside.

The boss's underling was caught inadvertently during a transaction, and the boss himself was also caught.

They arrested him and interrogated him immediately. Seeing so many supplies, they asked him, "Where did you get all this stuff? What kind of behavior is this?"

Knowing he was doomed, the leader cried and said, "Can you give me a chance to say what I said?"

"Stop making excuses, just tell me."

“That day, a man with a limp and many birthmarks came to the black market to make a deal with us.”

"Then when we were trading, he brought out so many supplies, and we thought that if we let him eat all of this, we would make a fortune."

"That's how you guys caught me."

"And then, who else is up there?" Li Chao asked seriously.

The eldest brother thought for a moment, realizing he still had family. Even if they couldn't take care of his own family, if there was no one else, he'd be the eldest.

“But I want to tell you that I thought that the person who could produce such a large amount of supplies must not be a nobody, so I marked the money.”

"If you're not careful, you won't be able to tell. So we'll take this batch of goods to see whose it is, so we can figure out what to do next."

"How do you find the sign after you pay to sit down?"

"That's right, we basically believe that all this money was used by people from our county to sell these supplies."

"If it came from out of town, it wouldn't be so easy to transport it in. It would all be inspected. The security is so strict now."

“My relative works at the supply and marketing cooperative. Apart from the black market and the supply and marketing cooperative, where else can you spend money? There are very few options.”

"The rest are generally less likely, it's all about luck. As long as we dare to spend, we'll encounter it sooner or later."

These people are facing the same fate that everyone knows; this is the price of greed.

The entire county began searching for them; after all, this was a huge event, and the whole thing could be described as a shock.

We know what the target person looks like and that they can write, but we've searched the entire county and haven't found anyone like that.

To suspect that this person is an imposter would be too cunning. All we can do now is wait for the target to spend money.

On the other side, Tingting and Jianjun were also terrified when they got home. The incident was too dangerous. The two ate a simple meal in the room, lit the kang (a heated brick bed), and, after a tense day, quickly prepared to go to sleep.

The next morning, the two of them drank a lot of porridge, ate a few steamed buns, and then lay down to rest.

The two of them took out all the money they had earned yesterday. Tingting was counting the money. There were too many 5-yuan, 10-yuan, and penny-denomination bills, so she prepared to use a storage bag to sort the money.

“Jianjun, look what this is. It’s on many small denominations. Could this be a mark made by that boss?”

The two were terrified.

“It’s alright, honey. Don’t touch this money yet. Keep it safe and deposit it in the bank when things reopen. Don’t worry, we still have over 10,000 yuan over there. You’ve miscalculated.”

The two of them now have a total of [amount missing] yuan, which is a huge sum of money, so they won't go to the city for the time being.

The local police station is also checking the situation of each team going into the city that day, because it's not something that can be done casually.

There were people watching them at the village entrance, so the two of them could only go out openly to mail things; the rest of the time they had to sneak out.

Even mailed items were not subject to inspection, demonstrating extreme caution and prudence, which ultimately saved their lives.

However, the two of them don't plan to go to the city anytime soon; it's better to play it safe.
