Zhou Tao and Sun Hai took the small box and went to the county town and went straight to the county bureau.
People in the bureau knew that they had tinkered with something new, so they took the stuff to the technical department. While they were waiting, everyone who could watch gathered around.
"No! Why do I feel that your lives have become more colorful after you two went to the town office?" Captain Wang teased with a smile.
"That's right! Things from decades ago were dug out? Are they preparing to solve a shocking case?" Xiao Zhang also echoed.
"I really want to go and stay over there with them!" Xiao Wang couldn't help but mutter.
“Who says it’s not?”
"Then all of you go!" As everyone cheered, Director Zhou also came out of the office.
"You've made it big! You can even solve major secret cases!" Director Zhou looked at Zhou Tao and Sun Hai and teased.
"...Hehe! It's not a big case!" Zhou Tao said proudly.
"Look at what you are capable of!" Director Zhou couldn't help but laugh. This kid was competing with him every day!
They were all acquaintances who had been to the valley last time. After sharing the joys and sorrows, they became more familiar with each other and sat in the office chatting about all sorts of things.
"Everything has been tested!" At this time, people from the laboratory came out with things.
The young men who were originally happily chatting and gossiping all restrained their emotions and gathered around with serious expressions.
"How is it? Any clues?" Zhou Tao, who was impatient, asked quickly.
"It's a love letter, addressed to Lai Ge and signed by Mei Yuexiang. The rest of the belongings are just a costume and some jewelry, nothing more. It only proves that the owner either loves opera or is a professional singer! The items are well preserved, especially the letter, which looks like new!"
"That's right! Is it okay to take the things out?" Zhou Tao asked anxiously.
"It's okay!" said the person from the laboratory affirmatively.
"Okay! Give the things to us! Let's go back to the village!" Sun Hai was also happy. This way, he could use the things to look for clues.
"Look at what you two can do! Wang Dapeng, take two people with them!" Director Zhou ordered Captain Wang, "These are all valuable items. If you carry them around, what if they get damaged?" Director Zhou couldn't help but glare at them and scold them.
"...Hehe!" The two of them had never thought of this problem.
At the very least, these things were seen by the educated youth compound, and perhaps the villagers would soon know about it as well. It is inevitable that some of them would have ill intentions or want to stop the investigation.
"Yes! We will ensure that the mission is completed!" Captain Wang stood at attention and saluted, responding seriously.
Even if Director Zhou didn't say it, he wanted to go and take a look.
"Xiao Zhang! Xiao Wang! Let's go! Let's go!" Captain Wang shouted with a stern face.
"Yes!" The two men answered and followed Captain Wang out.
"Zhou Tao, let us take the things away!" Wang Dapeng said, extending his hand.
"That won't work!" Zhou Tao refused with his eyes wide open.
"We have a car..."
"We'll take a ride too!"
“You still have bicycles!”
"Leave it there!"
"..." Wang Dapeng was speechless. This kid, is he afraid that we will break it?
Zhou Tao said as he walked towards the big jeep.
Sun Hai also quickly followed and grabbed the passenger seat with the box in his arms.
Xiao Wang drove the car, and Wang Dapeng, Zhou Tao, and Xiao Zhang sat in the back.
The group rushed back to the village at lightning speed.
A big jeep drove into the village. People at home could hear the noise of the car, and the quiet little village became lively again.
Many people who had been staying at home during the winter came out and gathered around the jeep when they saw it parked in front of the village chief's house.
"Is Village Chief Li here?" Zhou Tao shouted as he entered the yard.
Village chief Li's wife came out of the house first. Seeing that they were several police officers, she was frightened, fearing that her son Li Dehai had committed the crime.
But think about it, the black market is usually managed by those wearing red armbands, and the police comrades are not so idle as to take the initiative to arrest people.
Thinking of this, she relaxed again.
"Comrades from the police! Hello! Zhuzi! Someone is looking for you!" Village chief Li's wife greeted the police with a smile, and then shouted loudly into the house.
Village chief Li put on his coat and came out. Seeing several police officers coming to his door, he was also full of confusion.
"Is there anything wrong?" Village chief Li frowned and asked a few people.
"Village Chief Li, do you have an older brother?" Zhou Tao asked with a smile.
"Yes! Yes! But he works as a forest ranger in the mountains over there. He never leaves the mountain for 20 or 30 years! Only during the holidays do I take my nephew up the mountain to see him!"
"Nephew? What's his name?" Captain Wang asked.
“…Li Shuanlai! My nephew is my eldest brother’s son!!” Village chief Li answered hesitantly.
"Take us to find him!" Zhou Tao said seriously.
"Comrade Public Security! My eldest brother never goes down the mountain and would never do anything bad. Is there any misunderstanding?" Village Chief Li asked cautiously.
"Don't worry! We just need to ask him some questions!" Sun Hai could see that Village Chief Li was nervous and spoke.
"That's good! That's good!" Village chief Li still cares about this elder brother very much.
In the beginning, it was his elder brother who raised him and his sister. He would keep this kindness in his heart for the rest of his life. However, he didn't know what happened and his elder brother said he would never come down the mountain, making it difficult for him to repay him.
The group continued walking up the mountain without stopping. The brave villagers followed behind them in the cold wind. They were all strong because they wanted to see the excitement.
The grass and trees on the mountain have withered, and the leaves on the trees have all fallen off. The entire mountain looks gray and bare, like a large earthen slope, with no trace of the lush greenery and prosperity of spring, summer and autumn.
