Zhu Yuanzhang in the cellar

Chapter 54 Why did he buy a chainsaw?
The next day, Zhu Yunfeng, Ji He and Zhu Di went down the mountain to the town government.

Ji He has already resigned and is going through the process.

Under normal circumstances, he needs to continue working and hand over things to others while the process is going on.

But he entrusted a colleague to help deal with his affairs, so now he has time to follow Zhu Yunfeng around.

Thanks to his contacts, the town government immediately learned the news and came to greet them early.

Generally speaking, if you want to engage in agriculture in rural areas, or handle related industries and certificates such as breeding and animal husbandry, you should go to the township agricultural office.

However, that is the case when the investment is relatively small.

If a company like Zhu Yunfeng invests tens of millions of yuan in a township, how many industries can it drive? How many jobs can it create? How much capital can it leverage?

After all, their town is not an industrial town in a coastal city, but an ordinary town deep in the mountains of a local county in a prefecture-level city in Hunan.

The town was only able to shake off its label of a poverty-stricken county a few years ago. With a population of more than 70,000, most of them work or do business outside the town. Last year's fiscal expenditure was only more than 20 million yuan, of which more than 99% were grants.

Therefore, it can be said that Zhu Yunfeng's investment directly reached the financial allocation of their town for two to three years, and the industrial chain that can be driven for their small town will be very large.

These are all political achievements, so it is natural that the town leaders cannot neglect them.

soon.

The Maybach stopped in front of the town government.

The two main leaders stood there, accompanied by other relevant personnel.

The car door opens.

Ji He, the driver, got out of the car first and opened the back door.

Zhu Yunfeng got out of the car in a glamorous outfit, wearing a watch worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Seeing this, the surrounding leaders, subordinates and onlookers all stared at them with wide eyes.

"Hello, are you Mr. Zhu Yunfeng?"

The town secretary stepped forward enthusiastically to shake hands and asked.

As expected, clothes make the man and saddles make the horse.

If you change your clothes and mount, people will look at you with more respect when you go out.

If he had walked outside as an ordinary young man, who would have recognized him?

I'm afraid if I don't change into this outfit, even with Ji He leading the report, these leaders will probably be skeptical.

When I see Zhu Yunfeng driving an old Camry wearing a warm down jacket, I can't help but roll my eyes.

"Yes."

Zhu Yunfeng shook hands with him.

"Hello."

Then he shook hands with several other leaders.

The town secretary smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu is young and promising. He is handsome at a young age."

"Yes, yes, and he is willing to benefit the village. He is both virtuous and talented."

The other leaders also praised it.

Zhu Yunfeng smiled embarrassedly and said, "Actually, it's not me who has money, it's my dad who has money. You should have heard of my dad, Zhu Changqing. This time, he gave me the money to invest in the town."

"So he is Changqing's son. No wonder he cares about his hometown."

"Changqing is from our town. It's rare that he still cares about his home and is willing to contribute to the development of his hometown."

Everyone said again.

Zhu Yunfeng smiled and said nothing.

He had already thought of an excuse before he came.

That is to push the source of funds onto dad.

As a wealthy man who came out of the small town, Zhu Changqing is naturally very famous in the town.

But everyone has only heard that there is a billionaire from their side, but no one knows where he lives or what he looks like.

But they are not completely ignorant.

A few years ago, when the Zhu family still had money, Zhu Changqing would occasionally come back to celebrate the New Year, maybe only once every three or four years. Every time he came back, he would drive all kinds of luxury cars through the town, and many people knew about it.

So everyone knows that he is rich.

In this way, it would be reasonable to just push the money onto his father and create a wealthy man who wants to invest in the construction of his hometown and contribute money and effort to his hometown.

"To be honest, my dad didn't have a good time in the past few years. His business went through a lot of twists and turns, and he almost had a big problem with his capital chain. Two of his factories also went bankrupt. But the situation has improved since last year, and he's been doing well again in the past two years."

Zhu Yunfeng added: "It is for this reason that my father believes that it is best for people to return to their hometowns and have some nostalgia for their hometowns, so he asked me to bring back tens of millions of yuan and make some investments back home, which can be regarded as a contribution to my hometown."

"Good good."

The town secretary took the lead in applauding and said: "Our hometown needs entrepreneurs like you who are willing to build."

"Come on, let's go sit in the conference room."

The mayor said hurriedly.

"Come on, come on."

The town secretary also quickly invited them.

Zhu Yunfeng then went into the town government with them.

Their town government has no money to build a new building, so they are still using an old building that is decades old.

There are only two floors. The first floor is the lobby, and the second floor is the offices. Behind the town government is the town police station where Zhu Yunfeng visited last time.

The meeting room is on the first floor.

Their arrival attracted a lot of onlookers.

At this time, outside the town police station, Xie Minghui and others were also looking at the town government curiously.

The town government is on the street, and they are right behind the town government. They are two old two-story buildings, only five or six meters apart, so the distance is very close.

However, because there were too many people, they didn't know the specific situation. They only heard that a big boss was coming to the town to invest.

"It's a strange thing. There is actually a boss coming to our small town."

"Who knows."

Xie Minghui was chatting with Deputy Director Zhou of their town police station.

At this moment, a police car drove in from the side alley and drove into the parking lot behind the police station.

Two policemen got out of the police car. Deputy Director Zhou and Xie Minghui greeted them and said, "Old Liu."

"Lao Zhou, Lao Xie."

The person who came down was Liu Yong, the director of the Songxi Town Police Station next door.

"This is my apprentice Xiao Zhao, this is Deputy Chief Zhou from Lansha Town, and this is Old Xie."

"Hello."

"Hello, Deputy Director Zhou, and Brother Xie."

The young policeman who came with Liu Yong shook hands with the two men respectfully.

After Liu Yong greeted them, he looked at the crowd not far away and said, "What's going on over there?"

"I don't know. I heard that a big boss is going to invest in our town."

Deputy Chief Zhou shook his head.

"Invest? How much?"

"Tens of millions, maybe."

"."

Liu Yong was silent for a moment, then said unhappily, "Why do you guys in Lansha Town always get all the good things?"

"What you said is true. They invested tens of millions, not tens of millions to us."

Deputy Director Zhou said this but his face was full of smiles.

The salaries of township police stations are not high, but if the economy can develop better and there are tax revenues, their treatment will definitely be better in the future.

"Okay, Lao Liu, let's get down to business."

Xie Minghui said: "What's the situation?"

"Who knows."

Liu Yong shook his head and said, "Anyway, the person is completely missing in your town."

"Come on, I'll take you to the monitoring room."

Deputy Director Zhou said.

This time Liu Yong came here just for Zhang San and Li Si.

The two men roamed around the surrounding towns, stealing dogs and often staying outside for days at a time. Their families were used to it.

But this time it lasted too long. There had been no news for more than ten days, no WeChat replies, and unreachable phone calls. In the end, the families of the two dog thieves were forced to call the police.

We found out from Songxi Town that the last place they were seen was the neighboring Lansha Town, so we came here today to check the situation.

"Let's check their movements."

After Liu Yong came in, he said to Xie Minghui, "Old Xie, are you sure they left your police station?"

"Yes, we have seized the car, and I haven't seen him come to pay the deposit to get it back."

Xie Minghui was a little puzzled.

The tools used in public security cases must also be confiscated, but unlike criminal cases, legal procedures are not required.

Basically, you can get it back by paying a deposit.

So they have been wondering recently, the van should be worth a few thousand yuan, and the deposit is only a few hundred yuan, so they don’t want the car anymore?

"Describe to me what those two people look like."

"One is about fifty years old, and the other one has blood all over his face and is wearing a hat, so I can't tell his exact age, but he sounds quite young, so I guess he's less than thirty."

"strangeness."

Liu Yong was brought to the monitoring room by Deputy Zhou. He sat down and said, "Zhang San is indeed almost fifty years old, but Li Si is only about forty years old, so he should not be less than thirty."

“Maybe it’s because the voice is younger.”

Xie Minghui recalled Zhu Di's appearance, but he couldn't remember his exact features.

no way.

His face was covered in blood and he was wearing a hat, and Zhu Di lowered his head when he spoke. No matter how good his memory was, it was impossible for him to see clearly what a person with a bloody face looked like.

"Let's check the surveillance first."

Liu Yong didn't find any other clues, so he could only watch the surveillance video.

The surveillance content can be saved before seven in the morning. Zhu Yunfeng is still too cautious.

Their local fiscal expenditure is not enough to maintain the monitoring of solar energy or reserve power, and even the resolution of the monitoring is very low.

In addition, it was raining heavily, and the only thing that could be seen from the surveillance camera on the mountain was the headlights of the van and a dark mass.

I couldn't even see what the people in the car looked like or their outlines, and it was impossible to tell them apart.

There wasn’t much surveillance footage at Shangfeng Mountain, so it didn’t take long to watch it all.

There is no surveillance in Zhu Yunfeng's home, so Liu Yong can only analyze the situation.

According to surveillance footage and Xie Minghui's police response, Zhang San and Li Si climbed Shangfeng Mountain around five o'clock.

Afterwards, he went to Zhu Yunfeng's house in Zhujiaping to steal a dog, but was discovered by the owner Zhu Yunfeng. The two sides fought and he was finally subdued by Zhu Yunfeng.

Xie Minghui immediately went up the mountain and suddenly encountered a mudslide. He cleared the rocks blocking the road and continued on his way. He arrived at the crime scene at around six o'clock and brought Zhang San and Li Si back.

It is worth mentioning that they do not have law enforcement recorders, because according to regulations, only traffic police must wear law enforcement recorders, and other police types such as criminal police and public security police do not have such requirements.

Although the public security police in big cities have been equipped with such equipment, this is a remote village after all, and there is not enough funds to equip the township police station with such equipment.

So there is no video footage of the incident directly hitting the face.

The surveillance footage at the police station is slightly clearer, and there is also surveillance footage in the interrogation room.

However, both of them kept their heads down along the way, wearing hats, with bruised noses and blood all over their faces. Even if there were occasional photos of half of their faces, it was impossible to tell their specific appearance.

This made Liu Yong feel that his surveillance was in vain.

"How about it?"

Deputy Director Zhou asked. "It's too unclear. I can't make out anything."

Liu Yong shook his head.

"We can't do anything about it. Our surveillance camera can barely capture a license plate, and it was raining heavily that day."

Deputy Chief Zhou curled his lips.

"By the way, Lao Xie, describe the characteristics of that person to me."

"His face was covered in bruises, and he kept his head down when he spoke. It was hard to tell what his specific features were."

“Is there a mole on your chin?”

"mole?"

Xie Minghui recalled Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, thought for a moment and said, "It seems so."

At that time, time was tight and it was impossible for Zhu Yunfeng to create a fake mole, so he used a water-based pen to paint a black dot on Zhu Yuanzhang's chin, which could not be seen without careful observation.

"Are there any moles?"

Liu Yong pondered.

If there is, then the person who left the police station is most likely Zhang San.

But there are still doubts.

That is, Li Si’s age does not match their description.

And they always keep their heads down when they speak, as if they are deliberately hiding something.

Could it be that those two people are not actually Zhang San and Li Si?

What exactly is going on?

Liu Yong fell into deep thought.

After a while, he retrieved Zhang San's household registration information from his phone, showed it to Xie Minghui and said, "Take a look, what do you think?"

Xie Minghui took it and looked at it for a while. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "It's hard to say. That face is really very different from this one. The face is swollen. It must have been hit many times."

Zhu Yunfeng later slapped Zhu Yuanzhang many times, causing his face to become swollen, and even experienced police officers could not recognize his exact appearance.

"look carefully."

Liu Yong said again.

“It seems there is a difference.”

Xie Minghui thought for a moment and said, "The face shape is different."

"It seems that this person may not be the same person as the missing Zhang San."

Liu Yong had a bold idea.

It has to be said that what Zhu Yunfeng was most worried about finally happened.

That is, the dog thief went missing and his family reported the case to the police.

The police, through clues, believed that the Zhang San and Li Si sent to the police station were not the real people.

But there was nothing he could do.

Because this is the best solution he can think of.

If Zhu Yuanzhang and his men were allowed to hide back in the Ming Dynasty, he would lie that the dog thief ran away during the fight, and the probability of being exposed would be very high.

If we do this, we can only hope that Xie Minghui and his men will not take it seriously, do not chase after the person, but close the case and leave.

How is it possible to pin our hopes on police inaction?
Second, there is a big problem inside.

That was the van parked right outside their house.

When the police arrive and see the van, they will wonder why the dog thief didn't drive away and where he went. Once they search the place, they will be exposed.

It would also be troublesome to let Ji Hyuk drive the van away.

There were so many traces in the house to be erased and so much blood to be cleaned up, and the time was too short.

Not to mention whether Ji He would hit the oncoming police while driving away, even if he dodged it, what would he do afterwards?
Afterwards, the dog thief’s family will definitely report the incident to the police, and the police will definitely come and check the surveillance footage.

The surveillance camera only showed the van coming up but not getting off, or maybe it went off and eventually found the van, and based on fingerprints and hair traces in the car, Ji He was eventually identified as the suspect?

So in the final analysis, the van couldn't drive into the house, nor could it be transferred to Ming Dynasty, and they had no way to erase all traces.

On the contrary, if Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di disguise themselves, the police can help them deal with the van.

And, the most important thing is to let them disguise themselves as Zhang San and Li Si, so that the police's attention will be focused on the fact that Zhang San and Li Si disappeared after leaving the police station, rather than near his home.

Once the police think that the crime occurred at his home and focus their attention on his home, Daming might be exposed.

And if Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di went to the police station, through various disguises, as long as the police did not find evidence that Zhang San and Li Si were fake, or even if they found evidence, Zhu Yunfeng could also put his family off the blame.

Since no evidence was found, he claimed that Zhang San and Li Si disappeared after they were released from the police station and it had nothing to do with his family.

After finding the evidence, he claimed that Zhang San and Li Si had disappeared before coming to his house. He did send the fake Zhang San and Li Si to the police station. He did not know the fake Zhang San and Li Si, so he asked the police to track down the fake Zhang San and Li Si, which still had nothing to do with his family.

Therefore, Zhu Yunfeng's real intention was to let the police shift their target away from his home. Even if the police were to search his home once, it would be better than having the police keep an eye on his home every day in the future.

Again.

When Zhu Yuanzhang and his men got into trouble, they just hid in the Ming Dynasty and moved the stone tablet, and everything would be fine.

Zhu Yunfeng was in trouble. Even if he reported the matter of the stone tablet to the country, since the stone tablet had moved in the Ming Dynasty, he could not prove that the stone tablet could travel through time. In the end, the disappearance of the two dog thieves would most likely be blamed on him.

As for waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang and his men to go to the police station and then immediately submitting a report, that was even more ridiculous, because Zhu Yuanzhang had already made instructions and arrangements before he left.

Empress Ma and Zhu Biao would guard the Ming Dynasty underground palace and prepare kerosene.

If anyone other than them came to Ming Dynasty, Ji He would be killed on the spot as a hostage.

The worst that could happen was to sacrifice Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di. Empress Ma and Zhu Biao immediately lit the flaming oil, moved the stone tablet, and cut off the passage. Zhu Biao then ascended the throne, thus sacrificing the car to save the king.

What was abandoned were Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, and what was saved was the Ming Dynasty.

Maybe you won’t even give up.

Because after the stone tablet passage was cut off, the higher-ups might not necessarily believe such a sci-fi thing. If they could not find any evidence that the stone tablet could be traversed, they might think that Zhu Yunfeng fabricated the experience after killing someone in order to escape the blame.

Perhaps in the future Zhu Yunfeng will be tried as a criminal, while Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, as illegal residents with unclear origins, will most likely be released or sent to a shelter.

Zhu Biao might send people back to the modern era to explore in the future. They just need to wait for Zhu Yunfeng to be captured and then hide in the cellar of Zhu Yunfeng's house. Who knows, one day they may have a chance to return to the Ming Dynasty.

By the time Ji He dies, Zhu Yunfeng's fate will probably not be much better.

There is also the problem of submitting the videos shot on the Ming Dynasty. Nowadays, there are many videos of various ancient costumes and many film and television studios, and the videos shot will only be regarded as videos of a certain film and television studio.

Where do you send the footage you’ve shot? How can you attract the attention of the authorities?
Even if we take a step back and say that you shot the video and successfully attracted the attention of the higher-ups, the final outcome would be a war between the Ming Dynasty and the modern times, and he would go to jail.

Because he and Ji He also implicated Li Si, no one could tell whether Li Si's death was caused by them or by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Even if you are coerced it is illegal.

Zhu Yuanzhang had political concerns, so there was no possibility of any contact with the modern government. At that time, he would definitely move the stone tablet and seal the underground palace.

It is impossible to invade on a large scale in modern times. The stone tablet has energy restrictions, and only one person can enter and exit at a time. Heavy weapons such as tanks and cannons cannot be brought in at all.

According to Zhu Yunfeng's estimation, a day's charge can only allow a dozen trips at most, with a dozen people passing through at a time. Once the stone tablet runs out of energy, the vanguard will fight with the Ming army.

Perhaps they could kill many people, but as long as the Ming army ran out of bullets, the outcome would be certain.

And this is the worst outcome.

Zhu Yunfeng didn't want to go this far unless he and Zhu Yuanzhang were at war to the death.

Therefore, considering all factors, Zhu Yunfeng had no choice but to help Lao Zhu.

But there is no perfect crime in this world after all, and Lao Zhu was forced to be a dog thief. No matter how careful he was, there would always be flaws, and now he had been discovered.

“There’s something wrong here.”

Liu Yong said: "The face shape of Zhang San described by Lao Xie does not match his real face shape."

"what do you mean?"

Deputy Chief Zhou frowned and said, "Isn't it Zhang San who came to the police station?"

"possible."

Liu Yong thought for a moment and said, "Who was the last person to come into contact with him?"

"The reporter is Zhu Yunfeng."

Xie Minghui said.

"Summon him and ask him?"

"Don't worry, there are some suspicious points here."

Liu Yong fell into deep thought.

The main doubt is that the real Zhang San Li Si had disappeared before going up the mountain, and the one who went to Zhujiaping to steal the dog was the fake Zhang San Li Si.

The real Zhang San and Li Si disappeared after going up the mountain, and the one who came down the mountain was the fake Zhang San and Li Si.

this point is very important.

Unfortunately, the police were unable to determine who Zhu Yunfeng was fighting with through surveillance time and alarm time.

Because Zhu Yunfeng's home is at the top of the mountain, there are three main surveillance cameras in the entire Shangfeng Mountain. One is at the intersection of the road leading up the mountain from Lansha Town, located at the T-junction north of Lansha Town.

This road leads to the next county to the north, and to Shangfeng Mountain to the northeast.

The second surveillance camera is in Yinlu Village on the mountainside, where there is a T-junction. To the north is still the next county, and to the northeast is up the mountain to Zhujiaping. Ji He had violated the traffic rules here before.

The third surveillance camera was at Yijia Bay behind Shangfeng Mountain. Zhang San and Li Si went up the mountain from here, but the surveillance camera captured them passing by at two o'clock in the morning.

At that time, Zhang San and Li Si went up the mountain from the back of the mountain, passing by other villages along the way, waiting for an opportunity to commit a crime, but they did not find any good opportunities, so they arrived at Zhujiaping at around five in the morning.

Zhu Yuanzhang arrived in the modern world at four in the morning, and Zhu Yunfeng fought with him and called the police at that time.

Then Zhu Yunfeng was too sleepy and fell asleep, so Pipi let Zhu Yuanzhang go. At around five in the morning, Zhu Yuanzhang came back and happened to meet Zhang San and Li Si who came to steal the dog.

However, it was precisely because Zhang San and Li Si appeared in the surveillance footage at two o'clock, not five o'clock, that the police could not be sure.

After all, if Zhang San Li Si appeared in the surveillance at the foot of the mountain at five o'clock, and Zhu Yunfeng called the police at four o'clock, it can be 100% proved that the person fighting with Zhu Yunfeng was a fake Zhang San Li Si.

The logic behind this is very strange.

If he was fighting with the fake Zhang San, it means that this matter had nothing to do with Zhu Yunfeng. Before the police arrived, the real Zhang San was replaced by the fake Zhang San.

If he was fighting with the real Zhang San, then there would be a big problem. This means that Zhang San might have died during the fight, so Zhu Yunfeng found someone to impersonate Zhang San and deceived the police.

So we must figure this out.

"never mind."

Liu Yong didn't understand, so he shook his head and said, "Let's investigate this person first."

"Go to the house or?"

Xiao Zhao asked.

"Let's check on his condition first."

Liu Yong said: "If there is anything unusual, come back and visit us. After all, we have no evidence."

"Then let's check the information first."

Deputy Director Zhou suggested.

"Ah."

Liu Yong nodded.

Then everyone clicked on Zhu Yunfeng's information.

Normally, police officers cannot investigate citizens’ personal information at will.

But since Zhu Yunfeng was involved in the case and was a suspect, and it was within the local jurisdiction, there was naturally no problem.

However, they could only check communication records, hotel check-in information and residential addresses.

Bank card and shopping records require contacting the bank and shopping platform.

I checked and there is no problem.

Liu Yong arranged for Xiao Zhao to contact the bank and shopping platform.

After a while, the shopping record was there.

Chainsaw?

Compound bow?
Pepper spray?
The four policemen looked at the screen and fell into deep thought after reading the contents on it.

and so.

Why did he buy these things?
