As soon as the door opened, Gao Xiuli walked out with a smile. She twisted her round butt and walked like a willow swaying, saying, "Oh! It turns out that she is the mayor of Township Xia. No wonder she heard the magpies scream as soon as the door opened this morning."

Gao Xiuli was dressed very ordinary, but her beautiful figure was not as good as a dress. Xia Jian looked at Gao Xiuli, smiled and said, "Do you have time? Let me talk to you about something." Xia Jian said seriously.

Gao Xiuli laughed and said, "No matter how busy the boss comes, he has to spare some time. Please sit in the house." Gao Xiuli enthusiastically welcomed Xia Jian and Zhao Chunling to her house.

After everyone sat down, Gao Xiuli was busy making tea for them. Xia Jian smiled and said, "Why are you the only one at home?"

"The child went to school. I just came back once a while ago and left after staying for a few days. His parents lived with his younger brother, so I was usually alone at home." Gao Xiuli said, and then brought the brewed tea over.

Xia Jian and Gao Xiulidong were chatting one by one. Suddenly, Xia Jian changed the topic and said, "It was a bit early to go out in the morning. I didn't eat breakfast, so I went to the convenience store in your village to buy things. I didn't expect that there was nothing. I just had these things, and I don't know if I could eat them?"

"There is nothing that cannot be eaten, everyone is eating." Gao Xiuli smiled and found a small chair and sat opposite Xia Jian.

Xia Jian glanced at Zhao Chunling and said, "The conditions in the countryside are too poor. When we went to the convenience store, the doors were all in. You said that they do business like this, so what money do they make?"

"Hmph! There are many tricks here, but you don't know. Don't look at the fact that our village does not sell the store, when the Chinese New Year comes, you can sell a lot of wine and incense lamps. This is the big end of their money." Gao Xiuli said this and suddenly stopped.

Sometimes people are too shrewd, but they will attract others' attention. It is just as Gao Xiuli stopped like this that, Xia Jian felt that there was something wrong with it.

"Hey! The conditions in Mengwan Village are too poor. It's really not easy for you to go to the city. Do you have to go to the village to take the bus?" Xia Jian quickly changed the subject, because he was afraid of arousing Gao Xiuli's suspicion.

Gao Xiuli smiled and said, "Why don't you go there? I heard that once the road in Ziyangguan is built, it is possible to send a shuttle bus from the city to the bottom of our village?"

"Is this news very well-informed? Who told you?" Xia Jian asked with a smile.

Meng Xiuli shook her head and said, "It's all outside that I listen to people talking nonsense. But if there is such a good thing, that's great. Our village has a day to make a comeback!"

"There will definitely be that everyone works so hard, just for a good day. Your Mengwan Village is not bad, it's raining heavily, and even the slope protection behind the village has been repaired." Xia Jian circled around, just circling this.

Even if Meng Xiuli is smart, she can no longer avoid this. She smiled and said, "This is all the credit of Deputy Township Mayor Feng. She lives in our village for so many days, which is a good thing for the people of Mengwan Village."

"You are right! Deputy Township Mayor Feng has lived a superior life since childhood. It's really hard for her to let her live in the countryside for a long time," Xia Jian said, deliberately shook his head exaggeratedly.

Gao Xiuli was led into the ditch by Xia Jian. She followed Xia Jian's words and said: "Who said it was not! I worry about where she lives and what she has to do with food every day."

"Oh! I live in your house! That's not bad. There are not many families in your village that are as clean as yours. No wonder Deputy Mayor Feng lives there for so many days." Xia Jian said this casually and a little understatement.

It was noon after this chat, and Xia Jianping pretended to be up and leaving. Gao Xiuli stood up and stopped him and said, "Master Xia! You are too disrespectful! Although we are rural people, we can still afford to manage a meal."

"Oh! Let's eat before leaving! I'm starving to death. At worst, let's pay some money. What do you think?" Zhao Chunling was very good at acting, and she immediately became coquettish. She looked really cute.

Gao Xiuli pretended to be angry and beat Xia Jian and said, "Is it good to know how to cherish the fragrance and jade? Are you not afraid of starving such a beautiful girl? Alas! She has a familiar face. Is it your girlfriend or a colleague from the village?"

"Not all, I picked it up halfway. Since she wants to eat, let her cook with you. I'll sit here and take a rest." Xia Jian laughed and took it over with a joke.

Gao Xiuli pulled Xia Jian and said, "Go to the west room and lie down for a while! That's the house I cleaned up for Deputy Township Mayor Feng. All the things on the bed are new, so you can use it with confidence!"

"Then let's go cook quickly! He can sleep wherever he likes!" Zhao Chunling said, pulling Gao Weili to the kitchen without saying anything.

Gao Xiuli didn't seem to want Zhao Chunling to accompany her, but Zhao Chunling took the initiative to turn the tables, and she had no choice but to do so.

Xia Jian gently pushed open the door of the west room. The house was cleaned up, with a relatively wide single bed, and the bedding seemed to be complete. There was a small desk for office work in front of the bed, with paper on the table, but no pen.

Xia Jian walked over and sat on the clean bed. He picked up the small notebook with no word on it and looked carefully.

Suddenly she found that the marks written with round beads were particularly clear. Xia Jian opened his eyes wide and looked carefully from beginning to end. He found that it was a bill, how many cigarettes cost, and then the amount. He also received wine and some food.

Xia Jian's mind quickly turned. How could there be these things at Meng Xiuli's home? If this piece of paper is placed in the convenience store, there is nothing strange about it. What's strange is that it is placed here, so there is a problem.

If he guessed correctly, this table should have been seated by Feng Xiaowei. Logically, if Feng Xiaowei comes to Mengwan to work, her residence and dining place will be arranged by village cadres. According to rural practice, people from the township usually go to the township cadres’ homes to eat.

But Feng Xiaowei was eating and living in Meng Xiuli's house, which was a bit strange. Xia Jian sat on the bed and couldn't help but remember what happened to Secretary Wang in Mengwan Village and the later death of Jiao Heiwa. What are the internal inevitable connections between these things?

Just as Xia Jian was thinking about these messy things, he could hear the sound of gentle footsteps coming towards the house.

He quickly tilted his body and lay on the bed. The footsteps were getting closer and closer and he went straight into the room. Xia Jian closed his eyes tightly, pretending to be asleep.

After more than ten seconds, the footsteps left again. Soon, Meng Xiuli's speech to Zhao Chunling came from the kitchen: "Look at how tired the Township Mayor Xia was. He fell asleep without even taking off his shoes."

"Is that true! That may be because your bed is too comfortable." This is Zhao Chunling's voice.

The two women cooked very well. Xia Jian felt that she had not been lying in bed for a while, and Zhao Chunling had already called Xia Jian to come for dinner in the yard.

I didn't see Meng Xiuli's children during the meal. People didn't say it, and Xia Jian couldn't ask. In the countryside, I usually cook noodles at noon. Gao Xiuli's family is no exception, but what surprised Xia Jian was that some of her foods were full of vegetables.

After dinner, Zhao Chunling gave Xia Jian a wink, and Xia Jian asked Meng Xiuli with a smile: "Are there many people going out to work in Mengwan Village now? We are here to do a survey today."

"Oh! Not many. In a village with hundreds of people, less than ten men go out to work. They are all so poor that they want to go out to earn some money, but few people want to go out." Meng Xiuli said, shook her head helplessly.

Finally, Xia Jian asked a few casual questions and took Zhao Chunling away from Meng Xiuli's house. Meng Xiuli kept sending them to the entrance of the village, which made Xia Jian feel very uncomfortable.

On the way to the car, Zhao Chunling smiled and said to Xia Jian: "If you meet a woman in the future, don't look for me again. It's really uncomfortable to follow."

"What's so uncomfortable about this? We're doing it for the sake of work," Xia Jian said seriously.

Zhao Chunling sneered and said, "Is that true? You are for work, but others don't think so. You didn't notice the look of Meng Xiuli looking at you."

"Don't talk nonsense, she is a person with children. But she has many doubts, and this matter is undeniable," Xia Jian said a little serious.

Zhao Chunling laughed and said, "Even if I said it wrong, okay! But I have to tell you something, Meng Xiuli has a refrigerator at home, and it is a famous brand."

"Is that true? No wonder I said there are so many vegetables in their house. It turns out that there are ice boxes!" Xia Jian thought of this question and couldn't help but stand down.

Zhao Chunling smiled and said, "There is something wrong with her family. On the surface, their family is not particularly wealthy, but in a village like Mengwan Village, there are really few people who can use refrigerators. What does this mean?"

"One of the things her husband earns a lot outside, so the second thing is that there must be a question," Xia Jian said, walking quickly towards the parking place.

After getting on the bus, Zhao Chunling glanced at Xia Jian and asked, "You should have other discoveries!"

"Yes, and it's not small. We didn't come in vain this time. Don't look at this Mengwan Village, there are indeed some problems. If you don't do it well, you will find a big case." Xia Jian said, and started the car.

Xia Jian did not continue to say anything, and Zhao Chunling did not ask much. As soon as the car arrived in Donglin Township, Xia Jian waited for Zhao Chunling to get off the car, and drove directly to the city.

At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Jian had arrived in the city. He called Director Mao of the Public Security Bureau. As soon as Director Mao received a call from Xia Jian, he happily asked him to meet at Zilinyuan Teahouse.

When Xia Jian rushed over, Director Mao also came. After the two of them sat down, they waited for the waiter to put the tea out and walked out. Xia Jian lowered his voice and explained to Director Mao the details of his discovery when he went to Mengwan today.
