Liu Jun was very annoyed and helpless, and the transfer of Xiao Liu bypassed him, his direct supervisor. However, Xiao Liu's rank and treatment remained unchanged.

This is the huge Xincheng Reservoir, with a storage capacity of 500 million cubic meters. It is mainly believed to supply water to the provincial capital. The water supply here is fully responsible. The water plant originally had a security department of 50 people, all with semi-automatic rifles. Like the forest farm, the security department was weakened, with fewer guns and fewer personnel. Instead, a Xincheng station was established, equipped with 12 policemen, two vehicles, and a small boat. The mission was very arduous, that is, to protect the reservoir.

The scenery here is pleasant and beautiful, but Xiao Liu is more or less depressed at the moment.

Xiao Zhang, a colleague who was transferred here with me, suggested: "Chief Liu, don't you know Detective Liu Xialian? Invite her to come and solve a few cases. Wouldn't that make us meritorious service and get awards? Maybe we can be transferred back? It would be great to work in the branch office like Captain Dong. It's so far away that it's inconvenient to go home."

Xiao Liu looked at Xiao Zhang and wanted to give him a slap on the head: "Use your brain when you talk. The reason why the railway station can be a meritorious service is because there are a lot of people there, and there are thieves and human traffickers everywhere. What else is there here, except for fishermen? You can't catch a few fishermen, right?"

Xiao Zhang shook his head: "The strong never complain about the environment, because the environment is ruined by the strong. You can invite Liu Xialian here. She is an expert and may have some new discoveries."

"It's tough. I'm six or seven months pregnant, and people may not give me face."

"Just invite her to come to the reservoir for a spring outing. I figured out a solution."

"Okay, I'll try."

Xiao Liu had thought of what to say, but forgot it the moment the phone was connected.

"Xia Lian, I'm Xiao Liu."

"Captain Liu, why did you think of calling me? What's the matter?"

"I've been transferred to guard the reservoir. Apart from a bunch of fishermen, there's no case every day. When can you come to the provincial capital to look around and see if you can find anything?"

Xiao Liu is my father's right-hand man and also my friend, so I have to help him.

"That's fine. No problem. The machinery factory is going to the provincial capital to buy machine tools recently. I'll come to your place then."

"Okay, thank you."

Since the beginning of this spring, the agricultural machinery factory has made major improvements. Liu Xia Lian allocated 2 million yuan to replace the production machine tools and equipment. The purchased machine tools are all top-notch in the domestic industry. They are absolutely willing to invest in the production of agricultural vehicles. Liu Daqiang was a little scared. After spending several million yuan, when will he get his money back?

But how can we produce high-quality products without spending money on equipment? Shearing machines, stamping machines, lathes, etc. are imported from the provincial capital, from Shandong, and from abroad. Once the equipment is ordered, all that remains is to become proficient in using them and increase production.

A week later, Liu Xia Lian led a team to accompany Liu Daqiang to purchase six machine tools from the provincial capital. After the work was done, Liu Daqiang led the team back.

Liu Xialian also had a jeep and a business car, which were filled with several of her friends. Thinking of Xiao Liu, she immediately arranged for him to go to the reservoir. "Daya, let's go to the reservoir. Xiao Liu is in some trouble. Let's go over and help him."

The jeep led the way, followed by the commercial vehicle. The two vehicles left the city and headed east. After more than ten kilometers, a long dam with green trees appeared in front of them. On one side was clear water and blue sky, and on the other side were flowers and green trees.

"This place is so beautiful and well maintained. Xiao Liu is enjoying himself here."

When Liu Xia Lian came down, Xiao Liu came to greet her.

"How is it? My place is OK, right?"

"It's more than just okay. After get off work, I take a fishing rod and cast a few fish. The few fish I sell can earn you several months' salary."

"Ahem, ahem, we can still be good friends even if we don't say it out loud."

"Come on, everyone knows this secret. Come on, why did you call me over here?"

Xiao Liu scratched his head: "I want to go back to the city. I don't want to be here. It's too boring."

"I don't have that ability. You should just stay still and stay out of the spotlight."

"I haven't handled any cases in the past half month. Please come and see if there are any cases that can be handled. I hope you can do some meritorious service."

"Okay, but there aren't many people in your place. I'll try my best."

Daya accompanied Liu Xia Lian to stroll around the reservoir, but found nothing, so they went to the poplar forest.

This is a patch of fast-growing poplars, all of which should be planted in the same way. Ninety percent of the trees are only about ten centimeters in diameter, but there is only one tree that is about fifteen or sixteen centimeters thick.

"Xiao Liu, call one of the old people in the institute. I have something to ask you."

Xiao Liu was confused and thought there must be something wrong with the tree, so he immediately called over an old comrade in his fifties.

"Is there no cemetery in this poplar forest?"

"There is no cemetery. This land is for protecting water sources and belongs to the state. Villagers nearby are not allowed to bury people here."

"Captain Liu, have someone dig up the area in front of the tree. There's someone underneath."

Xiao Liu looked at Liu Xia Lian in surprise. Although he knew that she was a miraculous person, he didn't expect her to be so miraculous.

"you sure?"

"Do you even need to ask this? Look at the trees next to it. They are much thinner than this one. When a person's body decays, it becomes an excellent fertilizer. The fertilizer is slowly released, and the tree absorbs the nutrients, so it grows faster than other trees. This tree has grown so thick, there must be something wrong."

He immediately asked someone to get a shovel to dig. After a while, rotten clothes appeared underneath. It was women's clothing, but bones had turned into bones inside.

Xiao Liu was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. He had to admit that his skills were better than those of other people. This was just amazing.

Xiao Liu put on white gloves and took a quick look. Judging from the clothes, the woman should be a female worker who died from a severe blow to the head.

Liu Xia Lian hid far away and went to the car to drink water and eat snacks.

Xiao Liu came over and asked, "Xia Lian, can you confirm the identity of the deceased?"

"You take me for a deity. No, report me to the police station."

Xiao Liu called Director Liu to report the situation. An hour later, a large number of people came to support, including forensic doctors and criminal police, who arrived and started an investigation. They initially determined that the victim was buried here two years ago.

Liu Jun came over and was shocked: "Xia Lian, why are you here?"

Liu Xia Lian looked up at Xiao Liu who was not far away: "Xiao Liu called and said he didn't want to see the reservoir anymore, and asked me to do meritorious service for him."

"Nonsense, this bastard has no heart. You are pregnant, so don't run around anymore."

"I didn't come here specially. The agricultural machinery factory was buying machine tools. It was a deal worth more than one million. Liu Daqiang couldn't handle the situation, so he asked me to come here."

"Okay, let's not do it again. The baby in your belly is the most important. If anything goes wrong, how are you going to explain it to Zhao Hua?"

"Okay, got it. I'll take a vacation when I get back. I'll go back to the kimchi factory to recuperate."

No matter how strong a woman is, she cannot ignore her husband and children.

They all went to the scene, and Erya took out a fishing rod from the car: "Sister, I want to fish, this big reservoir is so rare."

"Okay, go ahead and be safe."

Erya went to the reservoir. There were usually people fishing here, but swimming was not allowed.
