Before leaving the commune, Ji Sisi went to Huang Qiaomei to tell her about Ji Nian, and then went to Qiping Commune with Captain Ma.

"Captain Ma, I'll get off here. Please find a shady place to wait for me. I'll be back soon."

Captain Ma was worried, "Sisi, how about I go with you? I'm worried about you going alone."

"This isn't the old society. Are you going to deduct it from me? Captain Ma, don't worry. I'm leaving now."

Ji Sisi strode away and walked into the second production team of Qiping Commune.

Huaihua and Qiping are adjacent to each other. Several people from Huaihua Commune married into Qiping Commune. Ji Sisi asked Liu Lan to help keep an eye on the information of these families to avoid letting anything slip.

At noon, everyone was still eating. After a short rest, they would go back to work.

Ji Sisi stopped a person coming out of the cafeteria and said, "Hello, comrade. Do you know Liu Guihua? I'm her cousin. I came from Lu County to visit relatives. I heard that she married into your family."

After saying that, Ji Sisi took out her letter of introduction.

The man took the letter of introduction, took a look at it, confirmed that there was no problem, and returned it to Ji Sisi.

The man saw that Ji Sisi had fair and delicate skin and bright and attractive facial features. He could tell at a glance that she had never done farm work and was a city girl. He did not doubt her talk of visiting relatives.

The man nodded decisively, "I know them. They live on that hill over there. I'll take you there."

While walking on the road, Ji Sisi looked for opportunities to ask questions.

"Comrade, I heard that the yak meat in your cooperative is 20 cents cheaper than that in the city. Can you tell me the location of the supply and marketing cooperative?"

When talking about cows, the man suddenly became nervous and his answer was flawless.

"The price of this meat is the same in the supply and marketing cooperative and in your city. You can buy the same when you go back to the city."

Ji Sisi pretended to feel sorry and said, "I thought your supply and marketing society would be cheaper."

Ji Sisi acted well, her bright eyes were full of pity and her expression showed disappointment.

The man wavered, but quickly put out the flame that shouldn't have been ignited, "Yeah, it's all the same."

Throughout the rest of the journey, Ji Sisi did not ask any more questions about yaks. Instead, she pretended to be ignorant and asked some questions about growing crops in the countryside.

The man pointed to the mud bungalow and said, "We're here. This is Liu Guihua's home."

"Okay, thank you, comrade."

When Ji Sisi was about to walk up the slope, the man called her, "Um...you'd better not eat beef recently."

Although the captain warned us not to tell outsiders about yaks, it shouldn't count as telling people not to eat beef, right?

After the man finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Why?" Ji Sisi asked back.

The man paused, his expression unnatural, "It's nothing, you city people don't work in the fields, it doesn't matter if you eat or not, just pretend I didn't say that."

This time the man left right after he finished speaking, and no matter how much Ren Jisi tried to talk to him, he didn't stop.

Ji Sisi stood at the door of Liu Guihua's house, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. The matter of yak lung rot should have been widely reported in the past few months.

I just talked to the man, but he didn't say a word and seemed to be deliberately avoiding something.

It seems that this second team is really hiding something.

After thinking about it, Ji Sixi knocked on Liu Guihua's door, and a female voice came from inside, "Who is it?"

"Who are you?" Liu Guihua opened the door and saw a stranger. She didn't dare to open the door completely and only left a crack.

"Hello, I'm Liu Lianhua's colleague. I happened to pass by your team while visiting relatives in the countryside. She asked me to bring you something."

Liu Guihua wondered how her elder sister, who was so stingy, could still remember her?

But when she saw the oranges and half a pound of sugar in Ji Sisi's hand, she was surprised that she had asked someone to bring her just a few oranges and sugar from such a long distance.

Liu Guihua relaxed her guard, opened the door and invited Ji Sisi in.

Ji Sisi went in and sat for a while, chatting briefly, and found that Liu Guihua was the same as the man just now, and she was even more tight-lipped than the previous man.

Seeing that she couldn't get any information out of him, Ji Sisi had to leave with the excuse that she had to rush back to the city.

Ji Sisi didn't dare to walk around and could only go back.

On the way back to Team 6, Ji Sisi asked, "Captain Ma, do all the herders' cattle have to be sent to the slaughterhouse and then to the supply and marketing cooperative? Do you know anyone in the slaughterhouse?"

Captain Ma shook his head, "Yes, that's the process. I don't know it, why are you suddenly asking about it?"

Ji Sisi told Captain Ma about the conversation between her and the man just now.

The man reminded her not to eat beef. Does that mean there is something wrong with the beef recently?

She thought that if Qiping Commune sold the sick cows as usual, they would not suffer too much loss, and there would not be any problem if they reported a smaller number of sick cows.

"Of course this is just my suspicion, it doesn't mean anything."

Captain Ma was so frightened after hearing Ji Sisi's suspicion that he was speechless.

Even if he had ten courages, he wouldn't be able to do this! If a sick cow is sold to a slaughterhouse, what if someone dies from it?

Captain Ma saw that Ji Sisi wanted to investigate, and took the initiative to say: "Although I don't know anyone in the slaughterhouse, I know where it is. If you want to go, I can take you there."

Ji Sisi hummed.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to Team 6. It was time to get off work. Ji Sisi thought about Ji Nian and silently increased his pedaling speed.

Ji Sisi rode her bike directly to the guard room.

Wu Gang was eating inside. He heard the noise outside and ran out, his lips still glistening with oil, "Sister-in-law."

"Is Qi Yan back?"

Wu Gang shook his head, "Not yet. Your eldest sister came here today to make a phone call back to Jianghai. Later, Xiao Mao said that she has not been to other places."

"I see. Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Wu. Go eat soon. I'm going to the cafeteria to eat too."

Wu Gang smiled innocently and replied, "It's not hard, it's what we should do!"

Ji Sisi had just arrived at the cafeteria and Huang Qiaomei was there too. She took Ji Sisi to another place to talk.

"What you said this afternoon was not a joke, was it? Is your eldest sister really a murderer?"

"How dare I joke about this? I heard it from Jiang Hai's relatives. I don't think she would lie to me."

Huang Qiaomei was still worried, "It's not that I don't trust you, but if there is no proof or arrest warrant, we can't just arrest people.

What's more, it's ten kilometers away from the Public Security Bureau in our station. If calling them here is a misunderstanding, given your eldest sister's temper, there will be a lot of trouble."

Huang Qiaomei became uneasy after listening to Ji Sisi's words in the afternoon. She couldn't concentrate on anything. She was worried that there really was a murderer in the police station.

Whether good or bad, it will have an impact on the institute. Fortunately, not many people know about it now. If they knew and caused panic, the consequences would be...

She gets a headache just thinking about it.

"Sister Qiaomei, I know you're worried, so I only told you. If Director Fu comes back tonight, please tell him so we can discuss how to deal with this."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Gang appeared in the cafeteria.

"Sister-in-law, Director Qi and the director are back, and they want you to go to the institute!"
