The village police station was located at the end of the street. Jiang Cheng and Mino drove to the police station.
In the countryside, the police station's police force was limited. There were only a dozen people working in the station. Jiang Cheng went directly to the reception room and said that he wanted to call the police.
The person who received them was a local policeman. He spoke the local dialect and asked Jiang Cheng, "What happened? Tell us slowly!"
Jiang Cheng was a native of Jiangnan, so he spoke the local dialect fluently. However, in order to let Mino understand him, he chose to speak in Mandarin. Jiang Cheng said, "Officer, our bag was stolen!"
"Your bag was stolen? Where? Was there anything important in the bag? "The policeman took out a piece of paper and began to make a record.
Jiang Cheng told the whole story from beginning to end. In the end, he said, "Officer, this thief is too bold. He stole from our car in broad daylight. We suffered a great loss!"
When the policeman heard Jiang Cheng said that the loss was as high as 50,000 yuan, he was a little surprised. There was more than 10,000 yuan in cash, mobile phones, wallets, certificates, and so on. These were things that every citizen must carry with them. The policeman immediately realized that the case was very serious.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng and Mino dressed so politely. It was obvious that they came from the city. When the policeman looked at the Porsche Cayenne outside, he immediately knew that this person must be a big boss who came to the countryside to do business. Maybe he was the village head's guest who came to the village to invest.
The investment had been stolen in the village. This had tarnished the reputation of the village. The police immediately reported the case to the director. The director also attached great importance to it. When he heard that Jiang Cheng said that the two of them were big bosses, he immediately realized that this was a good business opportunity.
The director called the village head and reported to him, "Village head, come quickly. A big boss came to our station. He drove a car worth millions. This is a big fish. Hurry up and deal with it!"
The village chief's name was Jiang Ling. He graduated from a junior college and was assigned to his hometown as the village chief of Datang Village after graduating from college. At that time, it was rare for a university graduate to go to the countryside. Jiang Ling quickly gained the village chief's favor and was nurtured as a key youth cadre.
Jiang Ling's career was very smooth. He was only in his early thirties, but he was already the mayor of Chi Tang Village. He was young and promising. Moreover, he was very smart and knew how to develop the economy. The local agriculture was developed very well by him, and the economy was gradually improving.
However, in a place like the countryside, if one wanted to have achievements and political achievements, the most important thing was that the economy had to keep up. If one's GDP grew rapidly and the finances were up, the district would naturally see one's political achievements. It was only a matter of time before one was promoted. As long as one did not stand on the wrong side and did not make any big mistakes, one could basically enter the district before the age of 40.
Jiangnan City governed seven counties, two cities, and one district. Chi Tang Village was under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan City's Jiangnan District. The station was only 40 kilometers away from Jiangnan City. The process was very convenient. Moreover, the terrain was very good. It was a small plain area with a lot of fertile land.
The agriculture here had already entered the era of mechanization. Rice transplanting and harvesting were all mechanized. Only some remote mountain villages still planted crops manually. That was because of the inconvenient transportation.
However, agriculture, after all, could not bring rapid economic development. As a local official, he naturally had to work for the welfare of the local people. It was urgent to develop the economy.
During this time, Jiang Ling had been running around the city like crazy. He kept introducing the advantages of Chi Tang Village to the bosses of various companies, but no boss was interested in this place.
There were mountains and water, but there were quite a lot of people. The population of a village was about 70,000 to 80,000. However, what was the use of just having people? There had to be a place to make money.
Therefore, many bosses did not come here to invest, which made Jiang Ling worried. If he did not get investors, his political achievements this year would be mediocre again. At the end of the year, he might be stuck at the same place again. Next year would be the time for the change of office. Whether he could be transferred to the city depended on this time.
Hearing the call from the director of the police station, Village Head Jiang eagerly drove his old Jetta to the police station.
In the station, he saw the reporters, Jiang Cheng and Mino. When he saw them, Jiang Ling could not help but be stunned. He asked, "You are? Are you Hu Xiulan's son? "
Jiang Cheng did not expect someone to recognize him. He could not help but be surprised. He replied in surprise, "Yes, you know me?"
Jiang Ling laughed and said, "I knew it. You look so similar. I saw you a few times when you were young. You really look like your father. That's why I recognized you at first glance!"
Well, Jiang Cheng did not expect to meet someone who knew him here. He rarely came to Chi Tang Village.
He had only come a few times with his parents when he was young. Later, after he entered junior high school, he never came again.
However, Jiang Ling was very happy. After he asked the director about the case, he immediately realized that this Jiang Cheng was a big boss. He must have made a fortune. Otherwise, how could his wife be so beautiful? Moreover, the bag she was using was worth 40,000 yuan, and there was more than 10,000 yuan in cash in the bag. She also used the latest Apple Plath phone.
Looking at the car he was driving, Jiang Ling recognized it. It was a Porsche Cayenne. The market price was 1.6 million yuan, and it was not guaranteed that he would be able to drive it. He had sat in it once when he had a meal with a developer, but it was just once. Later, the developer felt that the conditions in Chi Tang Village were not good, so he went to the neighboring town to invest.
At that time, that incident made Jiang Ling very depressed. It also made him hate the neighboring town's secretary. The neighboring town's secretary had relied on that developer to achieve his political achievements. In the end, the year before last, he was promoted to the district's deputy district chief. This made Jiang Ling very angry. If he had been the one who had taken down that investor, he would have been working in the district's office by now, instead of being an official in this poor and remote place.
However, such a big case had happened for the first time in the village. Losing 50,000 yuan in one go was a huge sum of money. Ordinary people could not even earn 50,000 yuan in a year, and Jiang Cheng's 50,000 yuan was stolen in one go. In the eyes of the people at the police station, this was definitely the big case of the year.
Moreover, with Jiang Ling, this "acquaintance," putting pressure on the police station, the enthusiasm of the police to solve the case was naturally very high.
However, solving the case was not something that could be done in a short time. It needed to be investigated. The police station chief said to Jiang Cheng, "Mr. Jiang, because there are too many people in this place, we may need to investigate for a few days. How about this, can you stay in the village? We promise that we will definitely solve the case within three days!"
The police station chief was not stupid. He knew all the gangsters and robbers in the village. If he really wanted to investigate the case, one day was enough. He had a lot of cases from those robbers and the evidence was readily available. However, those people were all petty thieves, and the amount of money they stole was not large. In addition, there were not many villagers who came to report the case, so the police station was naturally not willing to do anything about it.
However, this was a big case involving 50,000 yuan, and the person who reported the case was not a simple person. He was a rich boss. The police station chief thought to himself, "Let this couple stay first. When the time comes, Jiang Ling will treat them to a few meals. Then, maybe he can persuade them to invest."
How could Jiang Ling not know the police station chief's good plan? Both of them looked at each other and smiled at the same time. There was no need to say anything.
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he felt a little more confident. Chi Tang Village was only so big. If the police station really wanted to investigate the case, it would definitely be a matter of minutes. It was not a big murder case, just a simple theft case. However, the amount of money was relatively large. If the police worked hard, it could be solved in a few days.
Jiang Cheng replied, "Alright then, but I have to go to the village to visit my uncle's house. If you have any news, please call me. This is my phone number!"
As he said this, Jiang Cheng took a pen and paper, wrote down a phone number, and handed it to Superintendent Yang. Superintendent Yang took it with a smile and once again promised to solve the case within three days.
With a gloomy mood, Jiang Cheng and Mino walked out of the police station. Because all the cash had been stolen, both of them were empty.
Fortunately, Jiang Cheng kept his wallet in his pocket and did not put it in Mino's bag. Otherwise, both of them would be really unlucky. They probably wouldn't be able to withdraw money even if they wanted to.
Jiang Cheng took his bank card to the credit union on the street, withdrew another five thousand yuan in cash, and then
Then, he bought some fruits on the street and continued on his way. His destination was Da Tang Village.
This was a water town in Jiangnan. There were small lakes and rivers everywhere in the village, so the names of the places were all kinds of ponds. Because they were delayed at the police station for a while, when Jiang Cheng and Mino arrived at the entrance of the village, it was already noon.
At this time, it happened to be lunchtime. The villagers who did farm work had returned to their homes for lunch. Suddenly, a shiny off-road vehicle appeared on the road in the village. It instantly attracted the attention of the villagers. Everyone was guessing which rich relative had come to visit.
Jiang Cheng drove on the road in the village. He had been here several times when he was young, so he still had a deep impression of this place. Along the road, Jiang Cheng drove to the front of a two-story building.
The building's decoration was quite good. The porcelain tiles outside were snow-white. There was a small room on the roof, which was used to store things in the village.
In front of the building, there was a small open space. In the shade of the open space, a man and a woman were sitting. The man looked to be in his fifties, and his hair was slightly gray. The woman looked very old, and her face was full of wrinkles. Both of them had one thing in common, which was that they were very dark.
Hu Laosan was eating lunch at home when he suddenly saw a shiny off-road vehicle parked on the road in front of his house. Then, a man and a woman got out of the car.
