"Hehe, don't worry, the murderer has probably already gone into hiding. You probably won't be able to find anything out now!"
"We still have to investigate. We can't let our people die in vain!"
"Oh, right, what did those deceased people do for a living? How did they end up dying out there? Did they have any records of going out recently?"
Du Heng quickly took out his notebook and searched through it, eventually finding a list of several people.
"Look! These are their work positions!"
"Irrigation and drainage?" Lu Yuan immediately frowned.
Who is in charge of water supply and drainage?
"The person is dead; he was the one who had a younger brother!"
"Damn it! These guys are definitely after our catalyst!" Lu Yuan immediately realized that these guys killed the water supply and drainage workers to get their hands on the catalyst.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to kill several people.
After pondering for a while, Lu Yuan finally spoke, "Find me a few people to keep an eye on the water supply and drainage workers and see if there's anything unusual about their behavior!"
Du Heng's eyes widened immediately: "These are such crucial positions in water supply and drainage, and they're all filled by our veterans! You don't suspect they're our own people, do you?"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "I'm not sure now either, but let's not alert them yet. Let's keep an eye on them first. Oh, and make sure the funeral is done beautifully!"
"Okay! Don't worry! I've already found people to handle the funeral arrangements, and they should be dealing with the body now! It'll be done in a couple of days!"
"Yeah! You've worked hard, bro!"
Du Heng grinned and punched Lu Yuan in the chest: "You still consider me a brother? Why are you being so polite! Alright, I'm going to get back to work!"
Seeing Du Heng leave, Lu Yuan sat on the sofa and began to ponder. He really couldn't understand why, with such good food supplies in his camp, someone would still be after the water. If these people discovered his secret, he would be in big trouble.
The thought of this gave Lu Yuan a headache.
However, before things had any clear direction, Lu Yuan could only pretend to have nothing to do and give everyone a false impression.
Putting that aside for now, Lu Yuan is more concerned about the wool processing machines and the new farmland he plans to plant cotton on.
Having found Xiaoshan's father, Lu Yuan took out a large bag of cotton seeds.
"Lu Yuan, this is..."
"Dad, I'm so sorry to trouble you again!" Lu Yuan was a little embarrassed.
Although Lu Yuan had told his father-in-law not to overwork himself during this time, the heavy task on his shoulders made it impossible for him not to be tired.
"You're being so polite with me, kid. Tell me! Is there some new mission coming up again?"
Lu Yuan nodded, then opened the bag and pointed to the seeds inside, saying, "Dad, these are cotton seeds. I plan to plant ten acres of cotton here first!"
"What? Ten acres? Are you crazy! Why would you plant so much cotton? You can't eat that stuff, and you're supposed to be stockpiling grain, aren't you?"
"Sigh! I just remembered that too. We'll have to deal with this first! I'll figure out a way to get the food later!"
"You...you really don't need to plant so much cotton, do you? That's ten acres of cotton!"
"It's alright, I've already improved this plant. It grows extremely fast, and a batch will be ready in just a few days! I'll send you some new seeds!"
"I just reclaimed ten acres of land! Sigh! Alright! Since you've said so, then I'll do as you say!"
Lu Yuan thanked his father-in-law again with gratitude and then left.
They searched the camp extensively, but no one knew of anyone who had machines for processing wool and cotton.
"Damn it, this is a disaster!"
Tugged at his hair, Lu Yuan felt that this time they might have to dig a pit. Just then, he saw Zhou Tong outside directing people to move timber, and Lu Yuan suddenly thought of someone else.
"Hey! I completely forgot about this person!"
"Zhou Tong! Come here!" Lu Yuan poked his head out of the tent and shouted.
After giving the order, Zhou Tong quickly ran in.
"Lu Yuan, you look so rushed, what's wrong?"
"What about William? Is he still delivering timber?"
"Huh? Isn't all the timber delivered by the US's transport teams?"
"Damn, I forgot about that. Oh right, what about William? Does he still come here to sell goods often?"
Zhou Tong looked at Lu Yuan as if he were a monster.
"Don't you know there's been trouble in the United States? Martial law has been declared there, and soldiers aren't allowed to come and go freely! He hasn't been here for a long time!"
"Damn it! I actually forgot!"
Seeing Lu Yuan's anxious expression, Zhou Tong asked, "What's wrong? Why do you need to see William?"
"I want to find some machines to process wool and cotton!" So Lu Yuan told Zhou Tong his whole plan.
Zhou Tong swallowed hard after hearing this: "Holy crap! Are you out of your mind?! You've planted so much cotton? What about the grain?"
"Sigh! We'll talk about this later! Let's prepare the cotton first!"
"By the way, do you have any way to get in touch with William?"
"Haha! Oh, so that's what it was about. No need to contact William, I know a place with a weaving factory! The machines there are still in good working order! I pass by there every time I deliver goods! You should have told me sooner!"
"Holy crap! I've been looking everywhere for this! I can't believe you have it here! It's like looking for a donkey while you're already using it!"
