Through this incident, Ma Xiaoyao paid more and more attention to Wang Xiaolong, and secretly decided that if he encounters unsolvable problems in the future, he must listen to Wang Xiaolong's opinions, this Wang Xiaolong is still very smart.

……

Er Gazi wandered the street all night, but he didn't find the thief who stole the manhole cover, and finally he was sore from exhaustion.

Looking at the rising sun, Er Gazi spat on the ground and scolded: "It's bad luck, I wasted the night! In broad daylight, that thief must not dare to come out... Forget it, let's go back to sleep quickly." Sleep on it, wait until it gets dark, and then come out and continue looking for the thief." Stretching his waist, Er Gazi staggered back home.

Not only did Er Gazi not gain anything that night, but other people who wanted to get the reward also failed.

After dawn, a group of people returned home with exhausted looks. They thought the same as Er Gazi. Thieves would never dare to act in broad daylight, so they went home to sleep in peace, and came out to look for the thief after dark.

There is a good saying that "money can make ghosts grind". The Public Security Bureau directly offered a reward of 1 yuan to catch the thief who stole the manhole cover. Many people were excited and started to search for the thief who stole the manhole cover. Specifically The number of people has not been counted in detail, but it is quite a lot anyway.

……

Wang Xiaolong's work efficiency is really high. It only took one day to buy a large number of brand new cement covers.

In order to ensure the safety of the cement cover, Ma Xiaoyao made a special experiment, that is, let a heavy truck roll the cement cover back and forth to test the bearing capacity of the cement cover. After being repeatedly rolled by the heavy truck dozens of times, the cement The cover is still intact, except for the traces of a few car tires printed on the surface.

Seeing that the weight of the cement cover was about the same as that of the iron manhole cover, Ma Xiaoyao was overjoyed and ordered the relevant departments to replace the manhole cover immediately. The well covers in the county town have all been replaced with cement covers. Needless to say, after replacing the cement covers, Dongcheng County has added a different kind of beauty.

Ma Xiaoyao stayed in the office until after seven o'clock in the evening. After hearing that all the cement covers had been replaced, a smile appeared on Ma Xiaoyao's tense face. Then he got up and left the office, went downstairs, and returned to his residence by car.

That night, Ma Xiaoyao whetted his appetite, ate two big bowls of rice, and then had a good night's sleep. Ma Xiaoyao knew that even a stupid thief would not steal a cement cover. A cement cover weighs dozens of kilograms , the thickness is more than [-] centimeters, and there are only two or three steel bars inside. After a lot of effort, smash the cement cover, and then take out three steel bars and sell them for ten or eight yuan?This is simply a joke!So worthless!

Ma Xiaoyao firmly believes that thieves will never steal the cement cover, so Ma Xiaoyao eats and sleeps so relaxedly. His 20-day troubles have finally been resolved, and his mood has finally turned sunny.

……

I feel dawn.

Ma Xiaoyao opened his eyes and stretched his waist a lot: "It feels good to have a solid sleep. I feel full of strength!" Ma Xiaoyao twisted his neck, got up and put on his clothes, and then went to the bathroom to wash up. Immediately afterwards, Ma Xiaoyao turned on the gas stove and cooked some noodles to eat.

In recent days, Ma Xiaoyao cooks breakfast by himself, and rarely goes out to eat, not for anything else, just for convenience. Go out and find a restaurant.

After breakfast, Ma Xiaoyao went to work in the county government by car. As soon as he opened the door of the office, he saw Wang Xiaolong holding a mop in a daze, frowning, and seemed to have something on his mind. Ma Xiaoyao asked: " Xiaolong, why are you in a daze?"

Wang Xiaolong came back to his senses and hurriedly greeted Ma Xiaoyao: "Leader, you are here..."

"Why were you in a daze just now? Do you have something on your mind?" Ma Xiaoyao walked to the desk, bent over and sat on the chair, then picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"Leader...I...I have something to report to you..." Wang Xiaolong said hesitantly.

"Well, tell me." Ma Xiaoyao nodded.

"Leader...I said it...don't be angry..." Wang Xiaolong hesitated.

Ma Xiaoyao looked up at Wang Xiaolong: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't hesitate."

Wang Xiaolong grinned: "Then what... I lost several well covers last night..."

"What!" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly widened: "What did you say? The manhole cover was stolen again?"

Wang Xiaolong nodded: "Yes."

"Didn't I tell you to replace all the well covers with cement ones yesterday? Did you do it?" Ma Xiaoyao said in a deep voice.

"It's done. I went to the site to see it in person yesterday. All the well covers in the county were replaced with cement covers... You, the leader, have spoken in person. The relevant departments below dare not be lazy at all. They worked overtime to complete the replacement of the well covers." Wang Xiaolong said hastily.

Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "Since all the covers have been replaced with cement covers, why are there still thieves to steal?"

"This..." Wang Xiaolong didn't know how to answer.

Ma Xiaoyao took a breath and asked, "How much does the cement cover weigh? How many steel bars are inside?"

"A cement cover is more than [-] centimeters thick and weighs more than [-] kilograms. It can be said that it is still very heavy. As for the steel bars... there are probably three steel bars in a cement cover at most." Wang Xiaolong replied.

"How much can you sell three steel bars?" Ma Xiaoyao continued to ask.

"This... if it is sold to a waste collection station, it can be sold for ten or eight yuan." Wang Xiaolong thought for a while and said.

"Only ten or eight yuan?" The corner of Ma Xiaoyao's mouth twitched.

Wang Xiaolong nodded: "The steel bars inside the cement cover are very thin and not heavy, so it's not worth a lot of money to sell scraps."

Ma Xiaoyao crooked his mouth: "A cement cover weighs more than 40 kilograms, that is, nearly ninety catties. It is not light. Even a strong young man wants to move the cement cover. It is very difficult. If it is a poor physique People with a large number of people can't move the cement cover at all. On the other hand, if you want to get the steel bars inside the cement cover, you have to smash the cement cover. It takes time, and most importantly, it takes a lot of effort to smash the cement cover and take out the steel bars, but it can only be sold for ten or eight yuan. The pay and return are too out of proportion, right? Now you can earn a lot of money by just doing some work Ten, even picking up rubbish on the road is much better than smashing the cement cover? What do people who steal the cement cover think? Is it because they are short of money and crazy? Even if they are short of money, there is no need to steal cement Cover? Isn't it worth it?" At the end, Ma Xiaoyao frowned deeply.

"I also think that thieves... are too stupid. I used to steal manhole covers. I can understand it. After all, a piece of iron manhole cover weighs dozens of kilograms. You can still sell scrap iron for a lot of money, but thieves steal cement. The cover... This is a bit too nonsense... There are so many things that can be stolen in this world, stealing anything else is worth more than a cement cover, and it saves effort... I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out... Unless... …The thief who stole the manhole cover is an idiot, a fool!" Wang Xiaolong said, frowning.

Ma Xiaoyao took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff: "If the thief was an idiot or a fool, he would have been caught by the police a long time ago, and it is impossible for him to still be at large. Judging from the modus operandi of the thief, the thief is a very cautious person." , and also very intelligent, and physically strong... In fact, I have always suspected that the thief is a person? It is still very difficult for a person to steal a dozen manhole covers weighing tens of kilograms in a short period of time ...So I think the thief is most likely not one person, but several people should commit the crime at the same time." According to the analysis of normal thinking, what Ma Xiaoyao said is very reasonable and not wrong, but the loss of the well cover cannot be solved by normal thinking. Analysis, because this incident itself is an act of revenge...

In fact, stealing the manhole cover is still very tiring. Harteng also thought about finding some helpers, but after thinking about it carefully, he finally dismissed the idea because he didn't want to reveal his whereabouts. Anyone who knew about the manhole cover stealing The less the better, only in this way will Harten be safer...

For the sake of safety, Hutten could only endure the hard work and steal the manhole cover by himself. Since he started stealing the manhole cover, Hutten has never had a good night's sleep. In less than a month, Hutten lost a whole lot of weight Circle, this is exhausting.

Although he was very tired, Harteng was in a very comfortable mood, because recently, Li Ming treated him very politely, and promised that after this matter was over, Li Ming would reward Harteng well... So they did such nasty things as stealing manhole covers just to please Li Ming, and now it seems that the effect is not bad.

Ma Xiaoyao exhaled a puff of smoke: "No matter what the reason is, the thief is worn out with the well cover, even if we replace the cement cover, the thief can still steal it... To solve the problem of the well cover being stolen, there is only one The way is to catch the thief, as long as you catch the thief, the matter will be solved."

"But the thief is very cunning. The police have been investigating for several days, but they still found nothing." Wang Xiaolong twisted his mouth.

"No matter how cunning a thief is, he will show his feet. As long as we have enough patience, we will be able to bring the thief to justice sooner or later!" Ma Xiaoyao said coldly.

Wang Xiaolong nodded: "The leader is right. No matter how cunning a thief is, he will show his feet. As long as he finds clues, he will follow the clues and catch the thief. At that time, the thief must be severely punished, so as to imitate others and give other thieves a deterrent." Let them know that theft will be severely punished, especially for stealing public facilities and equipment, the punishment will be even greater!"
