Chapter 136 Suspect

When Shen Yunshu applied for a high school teacher position at Shuguang No. 1 Middle School.

Ji Huainan was leading his men to the wheat experimental field in the suburbs. This place had been sealed off after the theft case. Except for those of them who were handling the case, no one else could enter or leave.

Especially the four students of Chen Xuenong, they are the biggest suspects and have to eat and live here for a while.

only……

"Captain, if we still haven't identified who the thieves are today, we can't keep them here any longer," said Zhang Zhipeng.

Ji Huainan was standing tall in a police uniform, his eyes fixed on the wheat experimental field in front of him. It seemed that he could see through him how Professor Chen Xuenong and his four students were doing experiments day and night.

He naturally understood what Zhang Zhipeng said.

Although they could detain the four people in the early stages, if they didn’t have evidence to find out the thieves, they would have no choice but to let them go.

But once we let them go, it will be more difficult to investigate the case again.

Now, they can temporarily confirm that the stolen wheat seeds and experimental data have not yet been sent out by the thief, but if they are let go, these two things may be sent away at any time.

As for where they will be sent, it is obvious.

"Let's go see Professor Chen Xuenong first." Ji Huainan said.

"Yes."

Soon, they arrived at Professor Chen Xuenong's place. Chen Xuenong had fallen asleep, and his daughter Chen Xi was taking care of him.

But Chen Xuenong's complexion was not very good. He collapsed not long after the theft case and has been ill for some time now.

Seeing that the condition was getting worse, Ji Huainan knew that the only way to cure Professor Chen Xuenong's illness was to find the thief and get the stolen goods back.

Seeing them come in, Chen Xi's expression towards them was not very good.

"Comrade from Public Security, can I ask, have you confirmed who the thief is?" Chen Xi asked with a somewhat cold tone.

"Not yet." Ji Huainan said.

Chen Xi laughed sarcastically, "It's been such a long time, and you don't have any clues at all. If we can't find the thief, how will my dad survive?"

"Those wheat seeds and experimental data are the result of my father's half-life hard work."

"He spent his entire life working on this experiment, and dedicated himself to it. But in the end, it was stolen. No one would be able to accept this."

"Comrade Chen Xi, don't get excited. We are also conducting reconnaissance with all our strength."

"Hehe, if you really have the ability, you would have found it out long ago." It was obvious that Chen Xi no longer believed them.

"Comrade Chen Xi, don't worry. This case will not be closed until the thief is found. I, Ji Huainan, will take full responsibility for it."

"That is, how is Professor Chen's health now?"

Chen Xi looked back at his old father lying on the bed, his eyes reddened, "You already knew this a long time ago. The doctor said that my father has a heart disease, and heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine."

"Student Chen Xi, among your father's four students, do you have any suspicions?"

"I don't know. They are usually very nice to my dad and me. But I can guarantee that it is definitely not Yude."

Chen Xi believed in Tao Yude. Although Yude was the least talented among his father's four students, he had always worked hard and was very serious, and was very good to his father and her.

Besides, his father had done him a favor, so it was impossible for him to do such a thing.

She knew that if she could identify who the thief was, it would be treason, and that person would be a spy.

Yude is going to marry her, how could he be a spy?

However, if she knew who the thief was, she would definitely not let him go, nor would she forgive that person.

"Dad, you have to cheer up." Chen Xi looked at his seriously ill father, wiping his tears and muttering.

"Let's go to Zhang Xiaoyan." Ji Huainan said after coming out from Professor Chen.

"Yes. Captain, are you more suspicious of Zhang Xiaoyan?"

"No, the person I suspect is... Tao Yude." Ji Huainan raised his head and looked at the house where Tao Yude lived.

"Ah?" Zhang Zhipeng was a little confused and wanted to ask why, but they had already walked to the house where Zhang Xiaoyan and Bao Jialin lived.

Zhang Zhipeng temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.

"Comrade Public Security, I admit that I did hide some things from you before. I did take some wheat seeds from the laboratory before, but they were discarded by the teacher. He didn't want them."

"I really didn't steal the wheat seeds and experimental data this time."

When Zhang Xiaoyan and Bao Jialin were questioned again, when Ji Huainan said that Zhang Xiaoyan had once stolen wheat seeds from the laboratory, Zhang Xiaoyan said anxiously.

"Then tell me, why did you steal the seeds that were eliminated from the laboratory before?" Zhang Zhipeng's tone became stern.

"Bao Jialin, tell me why you helped cover up Zhang Xiaoyan after knowing that she stole the seeds from the laboratory."

"What?!" Zhang Xiaoyan looked at Bao Jialin in surprise.

Bao Jialin glanced at Zhang Xiaoyan and said with a wry smile: "Why? Xiaoyan is my wife."

Because he loved his wife so much, when he first found out, Bao Jialin chose to help cover up instead of exposing the truth.

"Xiaoyan, tell me where the wheat seeds went before. I know you have good intentions."

"Jialin..." Zhang Xiaoyan's eyes turned red, and then she blinked and said, "I did take wheat seeds from the laboratory before, but I took them for my family and fellow villagers..."

Zhang Xiaoyan comes from the mountains. Her village is remote and hidden deep in the mountains. Farming is difficult and basically everyone cannot get enough to eat.

The reason why Zhang Xiaoyan wanted to be Chen Xuenong's student was because Chen Xuenong said he wanted to cultivate high-yield wheat seeds.

She also wanted to cultivate high-yield grain seeds. With such seeds, she could grow more grain, and her family and fellow villagers would not go hungry.

She thought that if there had been enough food, her brother and the children in the village would not have starved to death, and the elderly would not have chosen to leave food for the young and starve to death themselves in order to let them survive.

She will never forget the scene of those young and old people starving to death lying in the threshing ground.

Over the years, she has been cultivating wheat seeds with her teacher. At the beginning, things were not very smooth, but in recent years, the results have been very significant.

In particular, three years ago, a type of wheat seed was cultivated which actually had a very high yield, but because it was not very good in other aspects, the teacher eliminated it.

It was also at that time, looking at the eliminated wheat seeds, that Zhang Xiaoyan thought that these eliminated wheat seeds were much better than those grown in her hometown.

If this kind of wheat could be grown in my hometown, the harvest would definitely be very good.
