Chapter 2325 Found a clue
Qiao Liancheng's words struck him like a bolt from the blue.
This is what he is most worried about and most afraid of.
He quickly shook his head to indicate that he didn't know anything.
Then, feeling that this was unreliable, he bowed and begged for mercy, saying, "I really don't know. So many people buy my fishing line every day. How would we know what they do with it?"
"Of course, don't worry. I will fully cooperate with the police investigation!"
Qiao Liancheng snorted and said, "Stop talking, you should think carefully about the question I just asked you!"
The boss hurriedly nodded in agreement. He held his head in his hands, deep in thought, and after a while, a brilliant idea struck him:
"The strange person you mentioned. There really is one, but I don't quite remember the details."
"Wait, let me think about it carefully."
In just a short while, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and he was like a walking reservoir. In no time, the towel in his hand was soaked through.
His chubby little hands squeezed the handkerchief, and water was already seeping out, which showed how scared he was.
Qiao Liancheng continued to stare intently at him, subtly releasing pressure as he awaited his answer.
Jiang Wan, who was standing next to him, didn't mind. She was a little hungry and took out a steamed bun from the bag that Qiao Liancheng was carrying, eating it while waiting.
After a long while, the boss said, "I remember now, there's a village called Xiaowangzhuang not far from here. Someone came to Xiaowangzhuang back then."
“That person used to come here to fish. I heard he likes to fish around here. When that luminous light arrived, it wasn’t stored away yet, so it was left on the counter.”
"The fisherman from Xiaowangzhuang took a liking to it at first sight. After asking the price, he muttered that it was too expensive, but he still bought it."
"I bought a whole roll of 500 meters."
Qiao Liancheng asked curiously, "Is it strange to buy 500 meters of cable?"
Although he enjoys fishing in his spare time, he mostly fishes in small streams and ditches, where a small rod with about 10 meters of line is enough.
Although 500 meters is a long length, this thing is like a spool; if you don't use it all up this time, you can use it again next time.
Therefore, he found it strange that buying 500 meters would be wrong!
If something's not right, why are they still being sold?
The bald boss then said, "It is strange, because this area is all rivers, and people usually use a hand rod to fish in the river."
"It's not that those pulleys aren't used anymore, but very few people use those pulley rods now. They often get tangled in the line and the line breaks."
"Even if someone uses that kind of rod, they only need to buy two or three hundred meters of fishing line. It's strange that he bought 500 meters at once."
He paused for a moment, then added, "That person is a seasoned angler; he wouldn't make such a mistake."
Jiang Wan understood that the current fishing line technology was not up to par, and even the new tricks were techniques imported from Japan.
If you buy spools of thread and don't use them immediately, but leave them for three to five years, the threads will become fragile for various reasons and break easily.
Fishing requires resilience, so nylon lines are actually the most popular choice in this situation.
However, this glow stick is not made of nylon; instead, it is a very special kind of thread.
It feels like pure cotton thread when touched with your fingers.
It's just much more resilient than that one.
Jiang Wan didn't understand the technical aspects of this, but one thing she was certain of was that the person who spent money to buy 500 meters of fishing line was definitely suspicious.
Jiang Wan seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Did that person buy it because they saw this line, asked about the price, and then bought it? Did they ask you about any other parameters?"
The bald shop owner replied, "Yes, because this yarn, in addition to its glow-in-the-dark properties, also boasts exceptional durability."
"Our promotional photos say that even if you lose a hundred or so pounds of fish with this fishing line, it won't be a problem."
The man casually asked, "Would you be able to catch a fish weighing 120 or 130 pounds? Would the line break?"
“I assured him with my heart that it would never happen.”
He happily bought the roll of thread.
At this point, Jiang Wan hardly needed to analyze anything further; the other party had already presented all the strange aspects to her.
Next, Qiao Liancheng found some people who were good at sketching and asked the bald boss to describe what the person who came to buy the thread looked like.
More than half an hour later, a portrait of that person appeared in front of me.
I had the boss take a closer look and confirmed that the person in the portrait was the same person he had seen before; they were almost identical.
Gao Xiang took the portrait and left; he will negotiate with the Public Security Bureau.
Afterwards, the Public Security Bureau will issue an arrest warrant, and the military will also help to arrest the person. It is imperative to catch the person in the shortest possible time.
Qiao Liancheng then looked at Jiang Wan and asked, "What are your thoughts?"
Jiang Wan understood what he meant.
This is an attempt to leverage her unique physical condition and feminine intuition.
Perhaps we can find a direction like headless flies.
She paused for a moment and then said, "You can send everyone out to search, you just stay with me."
Qiao Liancheng gestured to her to indicate that there was no problem.
After everyone dispersed, Jiang Wan stood on the embankment, silently gazing at the surging river ahead.
Qiao Liancheng followed quietly behind her, waiting.
He knew that Jiang Wan must be trying to catch something.
The two stood there in silence until the moon rose above the willow branches, at which point Jiang Wan casually pointed in a direction and said:
"Let's go that way!"
Qiao Liancheng nodded in agreement, and soon the two of them disguised themselves and pushed a tricycle down to the countryside.
There are still many villages in the surrounding area, so when Jiang Wan came down, she disguised herself as a junk collector.
Of course, the "junk" she was referring to wasn't junk in the true sense of the word, but rather old trinkets, meaning she was looking for something cheap in the countryside.
The next morning, the couple quickly arrived at a small village about 15 kilometers away from the scene of the incident. The village was called Liujiazhuang.
When the two arrived at the village entrance, Jiang Wan took out the prepared broadcast.
After pressing the button, a sound came from the loudspeaker:
"We buy and recycle old items, including all kinds of old items such as silver coins, silver dollars, calligraphy and paintings."
The loudspeaker kept playing the same message on a loop, and Jiang Wan sat comfortably on the tricycle while Qiao Liancheng pedaled.
It seemed like Liu Family Village was about to end, and not a single person had come out to ask any questions.
Jiang Wan pondered that with this back and forth, even if there were some old items in the house that were going to be sold, they probably wouldn't be able to tell anything from the conversation.
Besides, they're here to investigate a case, and they're moving so fast, what kind of investigation are they going to do?
