Chapter 630: Careless

Fangxia Village.

Tao Lu accompanied Jiang Yuan, driving for more than three hours, coming here specifically. Along the way, they chatted and laughed, and his attitude couldn't have been better.

Tao Lu was truly satisfied with Jiang Yuan.

If the bureau chief had some extra demands on Jiang Yuan, it was because he was the one truly paying the money, and the burden of the budget was all on his shoulders, which he couldn't talk about.

Tao Lu didn't have so many thoughts. As a detachment leader of the Jingcheng Branch, he was actually similar to a detachment leader in a county. He might worry about more things, but as long as the business was done well, most of the work was considered complete.

And when it came to doing business, the answers Jiang Yuan gave were too standard, especially yesterday's "Wan Long Garden Sewer Body Abandonment Case." Tao Lu was no longer satisfied; he was fulfilled.

He was now like a black bear that had eaten its fill, and even when he saw prey, he was a bit too sluggish to run. Chatting with Jiang Yuan was also about trivial topics.

When Jiang Yuan arrived at Fangxia Village, he immediately entered a working state.

The body abandonment case from a few days ago was something he was accustomed to. A determination of the time of death changed the logic of the entire case from the bottom up. Theoretically speaking, after Jiang Yuan corrected the time of death, the remaining work, letting Liu Cheng or others do it, would yield similar results.

In fact, the follow-up work was originally done by Liu Cheng and the others.

However, whether Liu Cheng and the others could be single-minded without Jiang Yuan sitting in command, especially in investing a large amount of resources to push the case in a new direction, was another matter.

The crime scene of the Fangxia Village case was in a self-built house on the east side of the village.

Fangxia Village was composed of two clans, the Fang and the Xia, and was a large village with three or four hundred households. Of course, there weren't many people now, but as a rural area in the Jingcheng region, Fangxia Village still had nearly a thousand residents, living by planting, breeding, agricultural employment, and "overseas remittances," still maintaining a remote and bustling scene.

The deceased, Xia Hong's family, relied on a few vegetable greenhouses and fruit trees on the hillside to make a living, and their economic conditions were quite good, belonging to the rare farmers who maintained rural life.

Perhaps it was precisely because of their good economic conditions that they brought about a murderous disaster.

Although it couldn't compare to the economic conditions of netizens, Xia Hong's family of three had a gross annual income of about 400,000 to 500,000 yuan, and a net profit of about 300,000 yuan. Although it was a husband and wife working hard, in a remote place like Fangxia Village, it was already very prominent.

Other villagers would be very happy to have an income of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a year, and most families only had one main laborer.

As for those who went out to work or the Fangxia villagers who had lived in the capital for a long time, they had actually already detached themselves from the local ecosystem.

"This house of Xia Hong's basically maintains its original appearance, without any major changes," the police officer from the local police station said while leading the way. "Xia Hong and his wife's parents are both alive, and they each have brothers and sisters, but this house is currently inherited by no one. The village hasn't moved it, so it's been left abandoned."

Houses in the village aren't worth much, even if this is considered Jingcheng; it's a bit far from the Sixth Ring Road. So, as a haunted house that is just an ordinary rural self-built house, not only does no one live there, but the few households around it have all moved away.

When they reached the house, it looked even more desolate.

The two-story cement house was sturdy and solid, but ugly.

The front of the house was tiled, but the sides were not. Coupled with the angle, as long as you weren't standing directly in front, you could see the cement color on both sides.

In front of the cement house was a courtyard of about a hundred square meters, all paved with blue bricks, which actually looked a bit nice.

The iron fence of the courtyard was locked with an iron chain, hanging down, looking a bit casual.

Noticing Jiang Yuan's gaze, the police officer leading the way said, "The iron chain was locked by us. The courtyard gate usually isn't locked; at most, it's latched from the back, and you can pull it open by reaching your hand in."

Jiang Yuan asked, "Has anyone been inside?"

"Some bear kids went in for adventures or something," the police officer leading the way said helplessly. "There were four bear kids in total. The first time there were two people, and the second time there were four people. Both times they stayed for about 10 minutes. I don't know who told the Xia family, but the Xia family wasn't willing, and the bear kids who went in didn't admit their mistakes, and someone even called the police. In the end, we mediated it."

"How did you mediate it? What were the Xia family's demands?" Tao Lu asked inquisitively.

The police officer said, "The parents beat the bear kids in front of the Xia family, and that was the end of it." ===== CHAPTER 631 =====

The police officer said, "The parents gave the brat a beating in front of the Xia family, and that was considered the end of it."
