Chapter 73 73 [Three-in-one]

Wuzhong also posted a ranking list of the top 200 students in the county.

Just like No. 1 Middle School, the scores and schools were also written after each name, and then at the bottom of the list, the percentage of Wuzhong in this joint exam was written. From the data below, it can be clearly seen that Wuzhong is still the school with the largest percentage and the best scores among all the schools in the top 200. The first place in the second and third year of high school is also from Wuzhong.

But many people still noticed the glaring words "No. 1 Middle School" behind the first place in the first year of high school.

The first and second place are only one point apart, but the third place is several points behind.

Even the head teacher of Class 10 of Wuzhong High School couldn't help but tell the students in the class: "One test doesn't mean anything. Song Peifeng in our class still performs steadily."

Stable performance is the most important thing. This means that if nothing unexpected happens, Song Peifeng in their class will still be able to maintain such a stable performance in the future college entrance examination. With his grades, not to mention the top scorer in the college entrance examination, he can definitely get into the top ten key universities in the country.

He also has such good resources. Every month someone from the provincial key high school sends him study materials and tutoring books. The head teacher of Class 10 is not worried about Song Peifeng's grades at all.

And what about Jiang Gui from No. 1 Middle School, who got the first place in the county in a joint examination? To be able to perform like this in the college entrance examination is a real talent. He doesn't think that Jiang Xi from No. 1 Middle School can have such a talent. If she had such a talent, she would not have been unknown before.

In other words, this time's results are most likely due to her good performance.

Therefore, the results of this exam did not affect the head teacher of Class 10 of Wuzhong High School 1 at all, nor did they affect the students of Class 10. At most, they were a little unhappy about being suppressed by No. 1 Middle School, and they were looking forward to the next joint exam to come soon, so that they could suppress No. 1 Middle School again.

This joint exam not only did not discourage them, but it was just like what Director Wang wanted to achieve at the beginning, which was to stimulate the students of their own school, so that they would not think that they were the best in the world. The results of No. 1 Middle School successfully stimulated the students of Wu Middle School, making them work harder and more motivated, and the learning atmosphere of the school was also better.

Director Wang was somewhat comforted.

But he was still in a bad mood.

He really didn't expect that the joint exam initiated by Wu Middle School would eventually make wedding dresses for No. 1 Middle School. In the future, No. 1 Middle School will definitely use the results of this joint exam to step on Wu Middle School, especially for next year's enrollment.

Generally, enrollment is not done after the students take the high school entrance examination, but half a semester in advance. The enrollment teachers will send the enrollment brochures of their own schools to the middle schools below, and the teachers of the middle schools below will send them to the students below, and then introduce them to the high schools above.

The results of this joint exam will definitely be publicized by No. 1 Middle School. All the middle schools below will know that among the top ten students in the county, six are from No. 1 Middle School and only four are from Wu Middle School. The first place in the county is from No. 1 Middle School.

Director Wang can guess with his toes how No. 1 Middle School will publicize it. The more he thinks about it, the more worried he becomes.

He never thought that this joint exam would be a failure. No one could have thought that a girl would suddenly appear in No. 1 Middle School and get the first place.

Song Peifeng from their school was originally the first place!

Director Wang was more and more regretful the more he thought about it.

Just as he thought, when the results ranking list came out, Director Zhang of No. 1 Middle School slammed the table and laughed three times in the office.

In his office, there were only him and Mr. Wang, the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office. Mr. Wang was a young teacher under 40 years old whom he had trained to take over his job. Although he was young, his hair was bald in the middle, revealing a shiny bald spot, which made him look much older than his actual age and stable.

But Director Zhang was not like that. He looked stern and serious on the outside, but he was actually a lively old man.

"Tell the admissions office to include the joint entrance exam results in the admissions brochure. Take a photo of the results list on the bulletin board and put it in this year's admissions brochure. I don't believe that those students will not apply to No. 1 Middle School and apply to Wu Middle School if they see that our results are better than Wu Middle School."

Thinking of the problem of next year's student source, Director Zhang was so happy that Director Xiao Wang in the same office couldn't help but say with a smile: "We don't need to tell you about this. Teacher Liu and the others will definitely do it."

"If they don't tell you, they will take pictures?" Director Zhang waved his hand and said worriedly, "You go and talk to them in person, and let them go down and explain it to the junior high schools below. Don't be shy and embarrassed to say it. Wu Middle School only has better competition results than us, but every year they promote it as if it's much better than our No. 1 Middle School. This year we should also give a good talk." "

Let's start with the middle schools in Wucheng, haha~"

Seeing such a lively Director Zhang, Director Wang stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to them."

Director Zhang was not satisfied with having fun in the office alone, he also ran to Principal Sun's office.

He is older, more experienced, and has a high status in the school. When he came to Principal Sun's office, Principal Sun stood up to greet him. He did not go back to sit in the chair behind his desk, but sat on the wooden sofa in the office and poured Director Zhang a cup of tea. Soon, Director Zhang's loud laughter was heard in Principal Sun's office again.

Principal Sun also invited them very happily, "Call Director Yin and Xiao Wang to my house for a couple of drinks at noon." Principal Sun said in great enthusiasm, "I have a bottle of good wine that I have kept for a long time and I have not been willing to drink. Today, call Director Yin and Xiao Wang together and we will finish it!"

Director Zhang was in poor health and his family members were watching over him at home and not allowing him to drink. He had been craving for alcohol for a long time. Upon hearing this, he wanted to get up and go to Principal Sun's house immediately, and said happily, "That's great. I'll go buy two pounds of pork head later."

Principal Sun's house was in the faculty and staff apartment area at the back, which were all old houses. Director Yin and Director Zhang's homes were at the back.

As soon as school was over at noon, Director Zhang hurried home and said hello to his family: "I won't eat at home at noon. I'm going to Principal Sun's house to eat."

He was afraid that his family would know that he went to the principal's house to drink and would talk about him. With a smile on his face, he swept the floor and wiped the table very diligently, and even massaged his wife's shoulders.

Director Zhang's wife felt something was wrong when she saw his attentiveness, and asked him sternly, "Wouldn't you like to have a drink at noon?"

Director Zhang was startled and shook his head quickly, "No, no, no, no. Even if he invited me to drink, I wouldn't dare to drink."

The director's wife glanced at him and enjoyed the director's massage, "It's good that you don't dare. I'll ask Huiqin later."

Su Huiqin was Principal Sun's lover. When Director Zhang heard his wife say that she would ask the principal's lover later, he felt nervous and went out with a bitter face. As soon as he left the house, he immediately put on a smiling face, and happily left the school through the back door of the faculty and staff family area, cut two pounds of pork head and went to Principal Sun's house.

Director Yin and Director Xiao Wang had both arrived at Principal Sun's house. The two were playing chess. Director Zhang was a terrible chess player, but he loved playing chess very much. When he saw them playing chess, he put down the pork head and ran over. As he watched, he couldn't help but start giving them some instructions. While giving instructions, he pushed Director Xiao Wang aside and played with Director Yin.

Director Wang didn't care. Instead, he stood up and stood aside, directing Director Zhang to play chess. This made Director Yin dissatisfied and he said, "A true gentleman watches a chess game without saying a word. You just play chess, but why do you bring a military advisor?"

Director Zhang knew that he was not good at chess, so he listened to Director Wang's instructions and said happily, "Then why can't we have a military advisor? Xiao Wang is from our Academic Affairs Office and represents our Academic Affairs Office. If you are willing to call someone from your Political Education Office, that's fine too."

Director Yin was a serious person. He had no way to deal with a cheating person like Director Zhang. He could only play seriously and hope to beat Director Zhang. However, Director Wang looked young but his chess skills were very high, which caused Director Yin and Director Zhang to quarrel non-stop.

The principal's wife brought out a plate of food. Seeing that they were playing chess enthusiastically, she said with a smile, "Come and have dinner."

"Principal Sun isn't coming out?" Director Yin looked up and asked. Then he heard a crisp sound of chess pieces hitting the board under the command of Director Wang by Director Zhang: "Checkmate!"

When Director Yin saw that he had lost, he quickly stood up and said, "I won't play anymore. It's boring to play chess with you. There are two of them playing against me alone. How can I win?"

Director Zhang, who won, laughed and said, "If you can't beat me, just say it directly. It's not shameful to lose to me, Old Zhang."

Director Yin pouted and said, "It's shameful to lose to you, Old Zhang!"

Director Zhang laughed again.

The principal's wife also responded to Director Yin's words: "Old Sun will cook two more dishes and it will

be ready soon." Principal Sun, who was over 1.8 meters tall and had a strong physique, was wearing an apron. He brought out another plate of dishes and said with a smile: "You guys eat first. I'll cook another dish. It will be ready soon!"

His face was serious, and even with a slight smile on his face, he still looked serious like a big boss.

"That's enough. There's no need to prepare so many dishes. These dishes are enough." Director Zhang went to Principal Sun's kitchen very familiarly, took out a big bowl, poured two pounds of pork head he had cut into the bowl, and asked Principal Sun: "Do you have sesame oil?"

Director Yin disagreed with him: "Why do you need sesame oil? It's good to eat like this!"

Director Zhang no longer insisted, and soon Principal Sun fried another dish, took off his apron, took out a bottle of good wine he had hidden, and pulled his wife to sit down: "Come on, let's have a drink together."

The principal's wife also sat down and asked with a smile: "It's rare to see the four of you in such a good mood. What's the good news?"

The only thing that could make the four of them so happy was the school's students' performance.

As expected, Director Zhang said in a very good mood: "The old Wang next door wanted to use our No. 1 Middle School to train his troops, and wanted to step on our No. 1 Middle School to set off their Wuzhong's performance. Who knew that we would be suppressed by our No. 1 Middle School. This time, six of the top ten in the county are from our first grade, and the first place is still a student from our No. 1 Middle School. Who dares to say that our No. 1 Middle School is not as good as Wuzhong? They are so embarrassed!"

Director Zhang said happily: "This time, Wuzhong was still jumping up and down, greeting the Education Bureau, contacting various high schools, and wasting time and effort to make the test papers. In the end, they all got the advantage. "We have done a great job in promoting our No. 1 Middle School. If I don't put Wu Middle School under our feet in our recruitment promotion this year, I will be sorry for the hatred they have put on our No. 1 Middle School every year in recent years!"

Director Zhang became happier and happier as he spoke. He simply sang in an operatic tone, shaking his head and swaying his head: "It is really like 'Zhou Lang's clever plan to pacify the world, but he lost his wife and his soldiers'!"

The word "ah" was sung by him with a trembling voice, which lingered for three days and did not stop for a long time. The principal's wife was amused and said: "No wonder Lao Sun was happy to take out the wine he had collected for many years to drink."

It can be seen that he was in a very good mood.

The four people sitting there, thinking about this joint examination and this year's enrollment, who could be in a bad mood?

Jiang Hehua was in a very bad mood, especially after seeing the name overshadowing Song Peifeng, she was even a little unbelievable.

How could someone overshadow Song Peifeng?

She thought it was a bit absurd.

She had always had excellent grades since she was a child, but she actually had a high opinion of herself.

Because she was the daughter of the brigade secretary, people treated her differently from other girls in the village.

Although she was not a rich lady, she was treated like a lady in the village. Everyone greeted her with a smile and was polite. Even her academic performance was so good. She was always the best among her peers in elementary school and junior high school, and was a good student in the eyes of teachers. Although she did not show it, she was always very proud in her heart. When she looked at Jiang Xi and Jiang Gangqin, she looked down on them with a kind of arrogance that she herself did not realize.

This kind of pride was broken by Song Peifeng until she was in Wuzhong.

There are many outstanding people in Wuzhong, but there has never been a person like Song Peifeng who makes her feel insurmountable and unattainable.

Not only does he always score many points higher than the second-best student in the grade in every exam, but also he is a person.

Song Peifeng is very handsome. His good looks are different from Jiang Bai's slightly soft face. He is different from the grayness and earthiness of their small county. He has the calmness and indifference of someone who came from a big city and has seen big cities.

This is a temperament that is completely different from their small county.

Jiang Hehua always couldn't help wanting to secretly look at him.

When she saw him, Jiang Hehua realized how insignificant and ordinary her identity as the daughter of the brigade secretary was in the past. Many people in Wuzhong have better family backgrounds than her. The things she was proud of in the past are not worth mentioning in Wuzhong.

Even her consistently excellent academic performance seemed mediocre among so many top students in Wuzhong.

Her sense of superiority was broken all at once.

But she was used to being proud, and she could not learn to lower her proud head. She did not need to lower her head here, she just needed to keep working hard as before and rush to the front. She was still the center of attention in the eyes of teachers and classmates.

But there were so many people with excellent grades in Wuzhong, and each of them was like her. She was a top student in the original middle school. She had worked hard to study, but she still could not get into the top ten of the grade. The best result was only in the top 20 of the grade. Most of the time, she was hovering in the top 50 of the grade, not to mention catching up with Song Peifeng, who could leave the second place far behind by many points in every exam.

The name Song Peifeng hung there, just like she would never be able to reach the moon hanging high in the sky.

Now, someone stood on her moon and stepped on her moon.

In this age of youth, although Wuzhong also prohibits dating, it does not hinder some people who have a crush on others and hide their secret crush in their hearts. In this high-pressure and boring high school, every time they think of this person, their hearts are sour and sweet, and the aftertaste is sweet.

Song Peifeng is the youth hidden in Jiang Hehua's heart.

Seeing that Song Peifeng, who has always been far ahead of others, was suddenly suppressed by someone,

she felt indescribable in her heart, bitter and astringent, as if a sharp knife was stabbing her heart.

I really want to take that name away.

She reached out to touch the name through the glass of the bulletin board, but what she touched was the cold glass.

"Lotus? Lotus?" Ruan Hong saw Jiang Hehua reaching for the name at the top with her finger. Seeing that it was also surnamed Jiang, she thought Jiang Hehua knew the name and asked curiously, "Do you know her?"

Who wouldn't be curious about this talented person who had suppressed Song Peifeng?

Jiang Hehua was startled by her deskmate's call and quickly withdrew her hand. However, she shook her head calmly and said, "I wonder if it's the Jiang Liu I know."

"You really know her? The Jiang Liu you know is not also in No. 1 Middle School, right? What kind of person is she? Tell me about her." She was almost dying of curiosity.

In fact, they had never heard of this person.

Before going to No. 1 Middle School for an exam, she also looked at the score ranking list of No. 1 Middle School, but at that time she only noticed the first few people and didn't notice whether Jiang Liu's name was there.

Anyway, she was sure that Jiang Xi was not among the top few names.

How could they not be curious when such an unknown person suddenly became a dark horse and got the first place in the county?

Jiang Hehua pursed her lips and frowned slightly.

She looked a bit like her name. Because she didn't have to do farm work and studied at home since she was a child, her skin was not as black as that of rural children, but pink and white, like a flour dumpling.

She was three years older than Jiang Xi, but about the same height as Jiang Xi now, with a round face, small eyes, a ponytail, and some bangs on both sides of her forehead, covering her wide cheeks.

She looked at the name above and said, "The Jiang Xiu I know has always had average grades since she was a child. She was average in elementary school, average in junior high school, and in the ordinary class below. I've never heard about her grades, I just heard that she was admitted to No. 1 Middle School." She turned to look at her deskmate: "I was quite surprised that she was admitted to No. 1 Middle School, so I don't know if this Jiang Xiu is the Jiang Xiu I know."

She was a student in a key class, so how could she care about the grades of a student in an ordinary class? In her memory, she and Jiang Gangqin lived near the school, and only Jiang Xiu got up early every day and went to school under the stars and the crescent moon. After school, she and Jiang Gangqin went to the cafeteria outside to eat, and she ran home alone with her schoolbag on her back, under the sunset in the sky.

She knew it so clearly because on Fridays, she would go home with Jiang Gui and Jiang Gangqin.

She and Jiang Gangqin would take a boat or a tricycle to Tanshan, and she would run alone with her schoolbag on her back, taking shortcuts and walking on small roads. When she and Jiang Gangqin went home for dinner, sometimes when she was upstairs, she could still see her figure appearing in the distance at the ferry, jogging back in the gradually darkening night.

There were also a few times when she and Jiang Gangqin ran out of money, and the three of them would walk home together on small roads.

"Do you really know her?" Ruan Hong completely ignored what she said before, that Jiang Xi had poor grades since childhood, "She is so amazing, after entering No. 1 Middle School, she actually did so well, and directly became the first in the county!"

Jiang Xi, as a girl, was able to do so quickly in high school with average grades in elementary school and junior high school, which completely overturned her previous understanding that boys had average grades in junior high school but did very well in high school. It was like a warm current was injected into her heart, dispelling the haze in her heart that others believed that girls would not be good in high school.

Jiang Hehua turned her head to look at Ruan Hong with bright eyes, and turned back to the classroom.

She was short and sat in the first row in the front.

Song Peifeng grew up very fast. He sat in the last row of the same group as her. She was secretly happy about the coincidence between him and her.

Ruan Hong was still chattering with others: "Do you know Jiang Liu? Jiang Hehua knew her. She said that her grades in elementary school and junior high school were average. Unexpectedly, she suddenly became popular after entering No. 1 Middle School. This time, she even surpassed Song Peifeng in our class! Isn't it amazing?" The students

in Class 10 who were originally studying all looked up at Ruan Hong after hearing what she said. Even Song Peifeng, who was sitting in the last row reading a book, looked up at her.

Ruan Hong turned around and talked to the students in the back row. She saw Song Peifeng in the back also looking at her. She realized belatedly that it seemed that her words were not very good.

Lu Xuehua, who usually doesn't speak very nicely, was standing in the 610 dormitory at this time, clapping her hands and standing in front of the bed: "To celebrate Jiang Xi's first place in the county this time, and crushing everyone in Wuzhong, I suggest that we give him a meal of braised pork today! What do you think?"

"Okay!" Liu Ping, who liked to support Lu Xuehua the most, was the first to cheer loudly and clapped her hands after hearing what Lu Xuehua said, "We haven't had a meal for a long time." She looked at Jiang Xi with an inquiring look and said coquettishly: "A meal today?"

"I think this is a good idea!" Dormitory head Wang Xia also agreed, saying, "Before the joint entrance examination, there was no holiday for half a month, and no one rented books to read, and there was no money. Now that the books have been rented out, we can have an extra meal and celebrate Jiang Xi."

Liu Ping clapped her hands and cheered rhythmically, "Red-braised pork! Red-braised pork! Red-braised pork!"

Liu Ping had been craving for meat for a long time, and when she heard Lu Xuehua's suggestion to have an extra meal to celebrate Jiang Xi's first place in the exam, she couldn't help it.

First in the whole county!

The main thing is that Wu Zhong was beaten!

Such a great thing, isn't it worth having a meal of red-braised pork to celebrate?

Xu Xiuli also smiled and said, "I also think Lu Xuehua's suggestion is good."

"I agree!" He Xiaofang raised her hand happily, picked up Jiang Xi and spun her around.

Jiang Xi, who was not mentally prepared, was startled by He Xiaofang's sudden enthusiasm, and then was infected by their enthusiasm and happiness, and said with a smile, "Put me down!"

Just after being put down by He Xiaofang, she was picked up by Wang Xia and spun around, and the dormitory was full of joy.

Only Jiang Xi, who was picked up, was unhappy.

As the shortest and thinnest in the dormitory, it felt really bad to be picked up so easily.

This reminded her of the feeling of being powerless in Jiang Ma's hands.

She decided to eat more meat, eat more rice, grow taller and gain weight quickly!

Be strong and have strength!

After everyone was happy, Jiang Xi smiled and asked the dormitory head Wang Xia: "Dormitory head, how much is our book rental fee?"

Wang Xia said happily: "With today's income, it's three yuan and twenty cents in total."

"I'll go exchange the food coupons, and I can buy a lot of meat!"

The girls were very happy.

Because they had meat to eat again, and because Jiang Xi got such a good score in the exam this time.

They all knew that the aunties who served the food liked Jiang Xi very much. Every time Jiang Xi served more food than them, they gave the rice bowl to Jiang Xi and let Jiang Xi be responsible for serving food.

The sisters who served the food only knew Jiang Xi's face, not her name, but the whole No. 1 Middle School was in high spirits today. When the sister who served the food saw Jiang Xi coming to serve the food, she happily served her several rice bowls full of meat, and asked her with a smile: "You served so much meat, can you finish it?"

Jiang Xi smiled and said: "This is for the whole dormitory. We are happy today, let's celebrate."

The sister who served the food didn't know that she was Jiang Xi who was the most popular among the Wu Middle School, and she also smiled and said: "That's for celebration!"

The people behind her looked at her holding several large rice bowls of meat, and their eyes almost popped out.

Jiang Xi didn't eat with them, she still had to deliver food to Grandpa Jiang.

Jiang Xi went in and out every day, signing her name in the sign-in book. The security guard already knew her name was Jiang Xi. The security guard never thought that this little girl would be so competitive and actually helped No. 1 Middle School surpass Wu Zhong. He said happily, "Are you going to see your grandfather? Your brother just went there too. If you want to stay at your grandfather's place for dinner, you can eat a little longer. You don't have to rush for those 20 minutes. It's okay."

He saw the security guard of Wu Zhong across the street and greeted him cheerfully, " "Xiao Wei, let's have lunch!"

The security guard called Xiao Wei had a stern face and ignored the security guard. The security guard didn't care and waved to Jiang Xi: "Jiang Xi! Stay with your grandpa for a while, don't worry, it's okay!"

Seeing the security guard opposite heard his shout and looked at Jiang Xi, he smiled and waved to the security guard opposite, which made the security guard opposite look away in anger and slammed the door of the security room, turning a blind eye.

Grandpa Jiang had heard from Jiang Bai and Tong Jingang that Jiang Xi got the first place in the county.

When Grandpa Jiang saw Jiang Xiao coming, his face was full of smiles, and he started crying while smiling. He was not crying because of sadness, but because of happiness. He kept shedding tears with his hands and said, "Good, that's great. If your great-grandfather heard the news, he would be so happy." He smiled and cried, "When I go back for the New Year this year, I will burn some more paper for your great-grandfather and tell them the good news."

Grandpa Jiang's father was a sedan chair carrier before he died. He was a sedan chair carrier for the landlords. He was looked down upon by others all his life. If he knew that one of his descendants would have a granddaughter as promising as Jiang Xiao, he would probably be very happy.

Thinking that there were only a dozen days left before the final exams and the winter vacation, Grandpa Jiang, who had never been away from the village for such a long time, suddenly felt a little eager to go home and missed his old friends.

He was looking forward to meeting these old friends and bragging to them about how great his granddaughter was.

What was the first in the county in ancient times? Thinking of the storytelling he had heard, yes, Jieyuan! Is it called Jieyuan? Grandpa Jiang was not sure, but who cares, it was roughly the same idea.

Grandpa Jiang could not wait to go home for the New Year and brag to his old friends.

Thinking of this, there was only pure joy on Grandpa Jiang's face, and the wrinkles on his face were smoothed out by his smile.

Jiang Bai was also very happy, but he was not good at expressing himself too much. He was in a very good mood and set up the folding table and chairs. He washed the dishes and put them on the table. The whole family sat at the table to eat.

When he was very young, he, his sister, and his grandfather ate like this in the mountains. Later, it seemed that they had not eaten like this for a long time.

The three of them had just finished setting up the meal. He thought that Tong Jingang, who was going home for lunch at noon, got a roast duck from somewhere and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Girl! Look what I brought you! Ding ding ding ding ding!" He took out a freshly baked roast duck with a golden and crispy surface and called Jiang Bai: "Baizi, bring the big bowl over here quickly. This roast duck is just out of the oven and is still hot. There is a long line over there. If I am not familiar with the boss, I can't buy it!"

He is a day student. If he doesn't want to eat in the cafeteria, he can go home for lunch at noon.

Wucheng's roast duck is different from Beijing's roast duck with sliced ​​skin. There is no accompanying bread and various small ingredients. It is just a whole roast duck with a small bag of brine, vinegar, and chili.

Jiang Bai poured brine, vinegar, and chili oil into a bowl. Tong Jingang went to the back to wash his hands. He first pulled a duck leg for Grandpa Jiang. He pulled the remaining duck leg off and put it in Jiang Xi's bowl, giving her a thumbs up: "Sister, you are this!"

A public security bureau in the provincial capital.

Public security officer Wu and his friends were looking at the "Martial Arts" magazine. The more they read, the more shocked they were. This case was too similar to the one they had done a year ago. It was also adapted using many artistic techniques, but like the previous case, the core remained unchanged.

After reading it, they were more certain that it was written by someone inside their unit.

"No wonder Xiao Zhao said that the author of "The Great Song" is an old policeman in our system. If it wasn't written by someone in our bureau, I'll give him my head!" The old policeman who was speaking slapped his thigh and said decisively.

"Let's not talk about this for now. We don't know if what is written in this book is true. We don't have any clues in this case. We can't even find the body. If it is really as written in the book, it would be a big case." Policeman Wu said.

This case is about the construction of a commercial street project in their provincial capital. There were several other units competing for this project at the time. Among them, the few people who were most likely to receive this project all disappeared. No one can see them alive or dead. It has been more than a year, and there is no news at all.

The case in the book is about a well-known merchant in Kaifeng who reported that the owner and several family members had been missing for several days. After receiving the case, the heroine and her father went to investigate, but just like in real life, they did not find any clues. After questioning the family of the deceased, the heroine found out that they were missing when they were competing with another merchant for the construction of a certain market. Because someone in the other merchant had a background, the other merchant eventually won the qualification to build the market.

Then the heroine and her father, with the head constables from the government office, investigated bit by bit, and finally the truth came to light.

It turned out that these missing merchants were built under the flowerbed in the market as fertilizer. On the flowerbed were planted ginkgo trees as thick as calf legs. Even if a gardener wanted to change the flowers, no one would dig so deep, let alone change the trees. As long as no one dug deep to open the flowerbed and dig up the trees, no one would find the bodies.

Who would dig up the trees in the flowerbed when they have nothing to do after a meal?

In the past, this case was left unsolved until many years later, when the commercial street was renovated and widened. These trees had to be moved. When these trees were dug up, these bodies were dug up and the truth of the case was revealed.

Why is this case a big case as described in this article?

The reason is that in this case, the merchant who finally took over the project was not qualified to take over the project. The merchant who was killed was the best candidate for this project in terms of experience and qualifications, but the murderer who took over the project was the brother-in-law of the second-in-command of the Urban Construction Bureau.

In reality, the merchant who took over the construction project of the commercial street, according to their investigation, really had a brother-in-law who was the second-in-command of the Urban Construction Bureau.

If what is written is true, then the deputy director of the Urban Construction Bureau will also be implicated.

Several people looked at each other, and it was Public Security Wu who said: "This may not be true. We have been investigating for so long and have not found any clues. If the author is from our bureau, how did he know? If he knows so many clues, why didn't he tell us? This case is very likely a plot he imagined based on existing cases and circumstances."

After saying this, no one spoke. They couldn't help but think of the previous case.

Another old public security officer said: "Let's not talk about whether this is true or not. Let's first check it according to the clues written in this book?"

This matter is really difficult to investigate. The commercial street has been built for more than a year. If it is true as the book says, the body is hidden under the flowerbed and it is planted with trees, how can they dig it out? The commercial street is so big, and under which tree in which flowerbed is it?

Although the specific location is written in the text, novels are novels after all, and reality is reality.

Another difficulty is that the commercial street in the previous life has been built, and the current commercial street is still under construction. Many of the commercial streets described in Jiang Wu's works are written according to the layout she gave after visiting the commercial street after learning about the case in the archives in her previous life.

Fortunately, in the text, because the heroine and her team solved the case quickly, the market was still under construction, not completed.

They took the book, compared the location described in the book, and went to explore the commercial street under construction.

At that time, the provincial capital was like the eastern part of Shanghai, and it had not yet become a city of tall buildings as it would be a few decades later. The commercial streets under construction were still surrounded by a circle of iron sheets, and the interior was very messy.

Several people were very careful. If it was true as described in the book that the person who took over the project was really ruthless and vicious, and in order to compete for a project, he would kill his competitors and harm several people, and then use the blood as fertilizer under the flowerbed. If such a person was really found to be investigating this missing person case, he might really kill people to silence them.

What's more, the deputy director of the Urban Construction Bureau was also involved.

When they went to check out the site during the day, they found that the control here was quite strict, and outsiders were not allowed to enter unless they were related personnel.

After Wu Gongan and his men went back to discuss, they decided to disguise themselves as migrant workers and enter the construction site to move bricks.

Several people were investigating cases outside all year round, all kinds of major and minor cases, and they were basically running around outside every day. They were all tanned and looked no different from migrant workers.

They have been working at the grassroots level for many years and are familiar with the living conditions of the migrant workers. After disguising themselves, they really look like people from the village looking for work. In addition, the case has been going on for a year and there has been no movement at all. It has been unresolved, which has also made the perpetrators relax their vigilance and let Wu Gongan and his men sneak in easily.
