No one expected that the gang had just used a donkey cart to haul away the thousands of pounds of goods bit by bit in the middle of the night. Because the residential area police station was understaffed and the investigation was incomplete, the city had to send in additional personnel to solve the case.
Thinking of this, Du Chen said to Lao Ding: "Uncle, now that you mention it, I just remembered..."
"Student Xiao Du, what did you remember?" Old Ding asked with a smile.
"Some people came to the store to buy things a couple of days ago. One of them said that he came home from work one night and saw a group of people driving donkey carts. They didn't know what they were doing in the middle of the night."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Ding asked anxiously, "What happened next? Did they say anything else?"
"I heard that the other guy said there was nothing strange about seeing a donkey cart in the middle of the night. He started by saying he'd seen one of the guys before. He was from Zhouwangzhuang, which is over ten kilometers away from where we live. Why would he come to our community if he had nothing to do? His friend said he just had nothing better to do..."
"Xiao Du, are you sure they are talking about Zhouwangzhuang?"
"Well, Uncle Ding, I'm sure, because my parents and I passed by Zhouwangzhuang on the way to the city. I was wondering, Zhouwangzhuang is next to the city, quite far from here, why would anyone stay up here in the middle of the night?"
Du Chen continued to talk nonsense. He had the impression that it was some lazy people in Zhouwangzhuang who stole the scrap rails. After all, a criminal case in such a residential area was big news. He had heard his parents discuss it at home many times.
After hearing this, Lao Ding didn't even bother to drink his wine. He stood up and ran out of the store. As he ran, he said to Du Chen, "Xiao Du, thank you uncle. I'm going to catch the bad guys first."
"Miaomiao, Dad has something to do at work, so go home by yourself when you're done! And by the way, tell your mom I won't be home for dinner tonight!"
After Old Ding finished speaking to Du Chen, he gave Ding Miaomiao some instructions and ran directly to the police station. He planned to take people to Zhouwangzhuang to investigate first.
"Son, are you telling the truth?" Comrade Lao Du asked at this time.
