Chapter 506 catch a thief
Qin Yao urged the children to drink some water to warm up, then led Liu Yang into the main room to sit down, took the book he handed and read it carefully.
The information after numerical statistics is more intuitive and clear at a glance.
Before opening the book, Qin Yao felt that it took too long for Liu Yang to complete this task. Just counting the number of foreign construction workers took half a month.
But now when I opened the book and looked at it, I was quite surprised.
No wonder it took him so long. It turned out that he had counted all the current migrant population in Liujiacun.
Normally everyone just thinks that there are many more people from outside the village, but when they see the numbers, they realize that there are actually 235 people outside Liujiacun.
There are seventy-eight foreign construction workers among them, and the rest are workers recruited from other villages by the stationery factory.
You must know that there is a Shanghe Village deeper in Liujiacun, with a total of less than 60 people, old and young, in the village.
The number of floating people in Liujia Village is already very large.
If these floating populations are allowed to develop without management and statistics, the consequences will be disastrous.
Liu Yang nervously paid attention to the changes in Qin Yao's expression. He saw that she frowned seriously at first, and then relaxed her brows to reveal a surprised smile, and her heart finally dropped by more than half.
Statistical statistics is a troublesome task. Liu Yang investigated everyone’s name, age, place of origin, family size, and whether they had other relatives or friends living in Liujia Village.
The first few items are basic information, and the latter are important indicators for screening.
Those who have relatives or friends in Liujiacun can not only testify to each other and prove their innocence.
It can also play a role in mutual supervision and reduce the probability of committing crimes.
Qin Yao remembered the appearance of the two spies very clearly. She told Liu Yang about their facial features and asked him to point out the people who matched the description to him.
The information about two people was quickly screened out. One was named Zhang San and the other was named Wang Wu. They were both 23 years old and from Luojiawan.
"That's it? Is there no other information? Are they married? What are the names of their wives and daughters? Are there any other people in the family?" Qin Yao asked doubtfully.
Liu Yang shook his head and said, "No, both of them are orphans. They said they haven't married yet because their families are poor."
When Qin Yao heard this, he was so suspicious. If you two are not thieves, who is the thief?
Qin Yao tapped the names of these two people with her index finger and raised her eyes to look at Liu Yang with a solemn expression.
Liu Yang thought to himself, "Village chief, do you mean these two people may be thieves?"
“Catch me.” Qin Yao stood up and said fiercely.
Liu Yang's expression changed drastically, he was excited and a little nervous. After all, he had never done anything like this before, and he didn't know what the regulations were.
“Village chief, are you going to arrest me now?”
Qin Yao nodded heavily, "Now, before they notice and run away first, you immediately go find a few tall men and tie them up while they are preparing dinner without them noticing. I will personally tie them up tomorrow." Send it to the Yamen and let the county magistrate make a decision."
Liu Yang looked serious and asked Qin Yao if there was anything else he wanted to explain.
Qin Yao said: "You go find the person first. I will go to the place where they rent the house to keep an eye on the person. Remember, the speed must be fast and the movements must be gentle."
"Okay!" Liu Yang agreed and raised his legs to run out. Qin Yao hurriedly called him to stop, "You can walk."
It’s not dark yet, so running is too eye-catching.
“Pretend as if nothing happened.” Qin Yao warned again.
Liu Yang wiped his face, took two deep breaths immediately to make himself look normal, and then strode quickly towards the village.
Guessing that he had entered the village, Qin Yao then found two bundles of hemp rope, came outside the door and looked towards the river bank. She did not see the two spies, so they must have gone back to cook. After all, even if he is a professional spy, he is still a human being, and he must fill his stomach before he can continue the mission.
Immediately, Qin Yao and the four Dalang brothers and sisters gave instructions: "You start eating, I will go out to do some errands."
After saying that, he picked up the hemp rope and quickly rushed to the residence of Zhang, San, Wang and Wu.
In the dilapidated abandoned house, a few wisps of smoke came out, and a few faint voices could be heard.
Qin Yao squatted down in the grass on the side of the house. Wang Wu, who was standing in the yard, seemed to notice something. He raised his eyes and looked at the grassland for a few times. He found nothing unusual and then looked back.
These two people are very cautious. Perhaps because the village has recently begun to investigate information about outsiders, they have a vague sense that they may be coming for them.
But seeing Qin Yao acting like a normal person, he couldn't help but suspect that he was overthinking.
After all, the scope of this investigation is very large, and every outsider has not been spared. It is full of fictions and facts, and for a while people are confused about what is going on.
However, the census is not a good thing for the two of them.
It’s just that the two of them never expected that the accident would come so suddenly.
There were urgent footsteps behind him. Qin Yao and Wang Wu, who was watching in the courtyard, looked at the place where the incident occurred at the same time. One raised the corners of his lips, and the other's expression suddenly changed!
“Someone is coming from the village!” Wang Wu hurriedly shouted to Zhang San who was cooking in the house.
Zhang San hurriedly dropped the spatula and came to the door. In just a short time, the fence gate was kicked open.
Led by Qin Yao, followed by Liu Yang and other seven or eight young and middle-aged villagers holding farm tools, they rushed in aggressively.
Qin Yao raised her hand and pointed at the two people in the courtyard, and ordered: "Catch these two thieves for me!"
The villagers immediately surrounded the two men.
Zhang San and Wang Wu looked panicked, but Zhang San explained innocently: "Did the village chief misunderstand? We didn't steal anything."
Qin Yao would not give him a chance to explain, and shouted sternly: "Don't listen to their nonsense, take it down quickly!"
As soon as the two of them saw each other, they knew that their identities had been exposed. Without saying a word, they separated and tried to escape.
Qin Yao chuckled, threw the hemp rope in her hand, tied each person tightly, closed them tightly and pulled them together, and the two of them immediately fell to the ground screaming in pain.
Seeing this opportunity, Liu Yang and others rushed forward and quickly grabbed the two men with farm tools.
Qin Yao gave another person an iron fist, but the two of them fainted on the spot before they could even fight back.
Qin Yao asked everyone to tie the hands and feet of the two people together with hemp ropes. When no one was prepared, he secretly stuffed the jade that had been prepared for the two people into their arms as stolen goods.
This jade is the most difficult to determine its value, and it is marked on it. When the time comes, she will decide how much it is worth.
Of course, such a clumsy trick cannot be hidden from professional detectives.
But fortunately, these two "orphans" had no one to seek justice, and they were condemned.
From rushing into the yard to catching the two spies, the whole process took less than half a cup of tea, so fast that no one else in the village could react.
He stood at the door with his rice bowl in hand. Seeing the team escorting the thieves passing by, he asked in shock: "What are you doing?"
Liu Yang shouted loudly without looking back: "Catch the thief!"
"What?" He spit out a few pills excitedly in a mouthful of rice, and quickly called on his family to follow him to watch the fun. (End of chapter)
