I can fish for anything

Chapter 27

"Old village chief, what happened, don't worry, just speak slowly."

"Xiaohao, hurry home and have a look. Our new medicinal material base has burned more than ten acres. If the fire trucks hadn't arrived in time, there might not be any left!" The old village head said anxiously.

"Is it spontaneous combustion or someone maliciously set it on fire?"

"I don't know this yet."

"Okay, I'll go back right away."

Jiang Zhihao hung up the phone and called Li Heng again: "Old classmate, I will accompany you to wash your feet and massage the next time I have a chance. Something happened at home, and I need to go back immediately."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Two hours later, Jiang Zhihao hurried back to Daoxiang Village.

Seeing that the newly built medicinal material base was burned to a large extent, Jiang Zhihao was so distressed that he died.

The planted medicine seedlings were all burned to death.

As the old village chief said, if the fire trucks hadn't arrived in time, there might be nothing left in the [-]-acre medicinal base.

The base of more than ten acres of medicinal materials, plus the cost of medicinal seedlings, cost almost tens of thousands of dollars.

"Xiaohao, you're finally here. It's really distressing to see our medicinal material base being burned like this."

The old village head said sadly.

He has been the village head for more than 20 years, and he has always hoped that Daoxiang Village can change the poverty situation.

Now that Jiang Zhihao has become the village head, he is vigorously developing agriculture. He is also a cannery and a medicinal material base.

Good days finally have hope.

But this fire almost destroyed all his hopes.

Jiang Zhihao also felt distressed.

Then he asked, "Have you found out the cause of the fire?? What did the fire department say?"

"People's firefighters only put out the fire, regardless of the cause of the fire. I don't think it's spontaneous combustion, but someone maliciously set the fire."

Jiang Zhihao nodded, he felt the same way.

The first to be excluded should be the villagers of the village.

Because of this [-] mu of medicinal material base, every household has a share.

Whoever set fire to it is no different from burning your own home!
Who would be the one who set the fire?

Qian Ming?Or Huang Fei who had feuded in the provincial capital?Or Chen Ru?

The feud with Huang Fei was just a matter of these two days. No matter how strong his family background was, he couldn't investigate him so quickly, and even sent someone over to set the fire.

Although Chen Ru also hated herself, she was a girl, and based on Jiang Zhihao's understanding of her, she did not dare to set fire to her.

At most, next time we meet, scold myself a few words.

In this way, the biggest suspect is Qian Mingle.

And because of Peng Ling's matter, Qian Ming has a deep hatred for himself.

Jiang Zhihao looked at the burned medicinal material base and wanted to call the police.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he suddenly found liquor bottles scattered on the ground.

Although the bottle has been blackened by the fire.

However, from the label on the bottle, it can be seen that this is cheap Niulanshan Baijiu.

Jiang Zhihao's heart moved, he put the mouth of the bottle to the tip of his nose and smelled it.

Sure enough, a pungent gasoline smell came.

If it was Qian Ming, or Qian Ming sent someone over to set the fire.

The distance is long, they will use liquor bottles to pack gasoline?
At this moment, Jiang Zhihao had a bold guess in his mind.

He turned his head to look at the crowd, but did not find Jiang Benchang.

Then he asked the old village chief, "How much land does Jiang Benchang have? Does he have any share in the medicinal material base?"

"He was the only one in the village who didn't participate. When I told him, he said he didn't believe you, so he might as well grow his own vegetables and sell them for some money."

After finishing speaking, the old village chief's eyes widened: "You mean?"

Jiang Zhihao turned to the old village chief and shook the liquor bottle in his hand: "I suspect that the person who set the fire was Jiang Benchang. A few days ago, because I bought a new car, he was jealous and had a quarrel with me. In this Erguotou wine bottle, There is also the smell of gasoline, Jiang Benchang likes to drink Erguotou, everyone in the village knows it."

"Xiaohao, give me the bottle and let me have a look!"

The owner of the only small shop in the village stood up: "Jiang Benchang usually buys wine at my house. Last year, Erguotou had a string of anti-counterfeit numbers on its trademark to prevent counterfeit and shoddy products."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhihao handed the bottle to the shop owner.

The owner of the small shop immediately checked.

This string of anti-counterfeiting numbers can be seen clearly.

The owner of the small shop made a phone call and soon found out that the bottle of wine was sold from his small shop.

The village is not big, and there are very few people who like to drink baijiu.

The owner of the small shop clearly remembered that in the past few days, only Jiang Benchang had bought Erguotou baijiu.

This time, everyone was furious.

This Jiang Benchang is simply too much.

I don't believe it, and it's fine if I don't want to take out the land to plant medicinal materials, but why do I set fire to the villagers' medicinal material bases?
All the villagers clamored to go to Jiang Benchang's house and question him face to face why his heart was so dark.

Jiang Zhihao was also angry. He took a deep breath, raised his hand and pressed down, signaling the villagers to be quiet.

Then he said: "Everyone, don't get excited, I will go to Jiang Benchang with the old village head now, and I will definitely give everyone an explanation!"

Not long after, Jiang Zhihao and the old village head arrived at Jiang Benchang's home.

Jiang Benchang is a well-known old bachelor in the villagers. He doesn't even have a wife in his forties or fifties.

It belongs to the type where one person is full and the whole family is not hungry.

Moreover, this person is lazy and has some money, so he spends it on eating, drinking and gambling.

I heard that he hooked up with a woman from another village a few years ago, and was caught by the man and almost beat him to death.

Sometimes when Jiang Benchang was drunk, he would take off his clothes and lie in the yard to sleep.

Therefore, the villagers also gave him the nickname "Bai Zhan Ji".

Perhaps it was the reason why no one came to the house all year round, and the yard was full of weeds.

In the house, Jiang Benchang was sitting at the table drinking alone. What he drank was more than 50 bottles of good wine, with pork head meat and chicken feet.

In addition, there are two stacks of brand new hundred-dollar bills on the table.

"Little life, enjoy the blessing!"

Jiang Benchang took a sip of the wine, and then took out 23 boxes of Yuxi from his pocket.

Shaking his head, he lamented that he had lived for decades, and today he is considered to be living like a human.

Crunch!

While drinking, Jiang Zhihao and the old village chief opened the door and left.

Jiang Benchang turned his head to look, and a fleeting panic flashed in his eyes.

This look was captured by Jiang Zhihao.

So he concluded that Jiang Benchang must have ghosts in his heart, otherwise he would not have such eyes.

This look.It is clearly uneasiness and guilt!

Looking at the money, liquor, and side dishes on Jiang Benchang's table, Jiang Zhihao's conjecture was further verified.

"Yo, why are you two here, sit down and have a drink?" At this time, Jiang Benchang had already drunk more than half a catty, his face was flushed, and when he spoke, his mouth was full of alcohol.

Jiang Zhihao stood in front of the table and looked at him with a frown: "There was a fire in the village, and more than ten acres of medicinal materials were burned. Do you know about this?"

Jiang Benchang was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized: "If it is burned, it will be burned. What does it have to do with me?"

"Do you still recognize this bottle?"

Jiang Zhihao shook the Erguotou wine bottle in his hand: "I found this at the scene. It still smells like gasoline. There is a unique anti-counterfeiting code on this bottle. I have already checked it. This bottle of wine is yours from the village. I bought it from a small shop, do you have anything else to say?"

Hearing these words, Jiang Benchang became agitated all of a sudden, stood up with a "chuckle" on the pony, and pointed at Jiang Zhihao:
"What do you mean? You mean I set it on fire, right? Let me tell you, it's a frame-up, be careful and I'll sue you!"

"Then can you tell me that you have no other sources of income other than planting some land. Where did the money on the table come from?"

"Does it have something to do with you? If you can win the lottery, can I not?"

"Jiang Zhihao, I warn you not to make trouble!"

"You're an elder, so I'll call you uncle, but if you do something like this, I won't let you do anything wrong. I'll let the police deal with it. The evidence is conclusive. I'm not afraid that you won't admit it."

Jiang Benchang was timid and fearful, Jiang Zhihao thought he would be afraid and would admit it.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Benchang still had a nonchalant expression: "Whatever, whoever you let handle it has nothing to do with me. Now you get out of my house immediately. If you come in without my permission, you are just breaking into a private house!"
