Chapter 2500: Expert

Two days later, Zhao Yu and Xi Mengna climbed Xiaoyao Mountain again.

At this moment, Zhao Yu and the others were standing in an octagonal pavilion near the top of Xiaoyao Mountain. On one side of the pavilion was the path leading to the crime scene.

From here, the cave where the victim was found can be vaguely seen.

"It's too far, it's too far!" Manager Liu of the scenic spot said, "After hearing the news, I also asked many old comrades.

"Some people can vaguely remember that in the 1990s, Ganoderma lucidum was grown on the mountain, but it's hard to say where exactly..."

"It is said that there was a forestry society at that time," Captain Zhou of Kangle City introduced, "The affairs in the mountains were all managed by the forestry society.

"At that time, Bai Wenhai and others established a Ganoderma lucidum plantation base, which was also a contract signed with the Forestry Society...

"In the past few days, we have found several staff members from that year, but they have all passed away!"

"Oh?" Captain Shi, who was with Zhao Yu, asked, "Didn't you say that you found an old expert who understands the situation? What about others?"

"Oh, Mr. Zhao Ji is on his way," Captain Zhou looked at his watch and then at the foot of the mountain, "Should we be here soon?

"Oh, this Mr. Zhao Ji is our ganoderma planting expert in Kangle City. We talked earlier, and he said that he knew Bai Wenhai, and he also knew something about the cultivation of ganoderma back then!"

Zhao Yu first glanced down the mountain, then turned his head to look outside the pavilion.

Today is also a beautiful day, but there is a sea of ​​misty clouds outside the pavilion, which is as beautiful as a fairyland.

"Manager Liu," Zhao Yu asked while admiring the beautiful scenery, "You said last time that the cave where the victim was found was natural, right?"

"Yes, yes!" Manager Liu nodded, "It has been there since the scenic spot was rebuilt!"

"Oh..." Zhao Yu nodded slightly, "Perhaps the murderer put the man in that hole... maybe he meant something?"

"Oh? You mean," Captain Zhou hurriedly asked, "There was a story about that cave before?"

"Or..." Zhao Yu turned around and looked at the cave hidden in the mountain path, "Their plantation base back then was near the cave?"

Just as Zhao Yu finished speaking, a few police officers came down the steps. Among the police officers, an old man wearing glasses appeared.

"Here we come! Here we come!" Captain Zhou hurriedly introduced, "This is the expert Mr. Zhao Ji I mentioned!"

"Oh, it's my family!" Zhao Yu hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with the expert, "It's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you! I'm really sorry for making you travel so far!"

"Oh, don't say that, it is my duty to help the police!" Mr. Zhao Ji said modestly, "Growing ganoderma is good, but I dare not be an expert, I dare not be an expert!"

"Captain Zhou said," Zhao Yu asked straight to the point, "Do you know Bai Wenhai?"

"Yes, of course I do!" said the expert, "He is 5 years older than me, and he worked in our ganoderma lucidum base back then.

"This kid, in just two years, he has learned all the skills of my family!

"Also, this guy has the brains and courage to grow purple ganoderma in the wild, but he has made a lot of money and even established a company, which is very enviable!"

"Then...can you tell me the exact year?" Zhao Yu said, "In what year did he leave your family and start his own business?"

"Well... probably the one in 1986!" The old expert recalled, "After leaving our house, he and a few of his friends found a forest in the mountains and started planting purple ganoderma!

"It is said that I lost everything in the first year, and I didn't look good until the second year, and I waited until the third year.

Finally made a lot of money!

"Because it is cultivated outdoors, his Ganoderma lucidum is almost no different from wild ones. At its peak, it can be sold for 500 yuan a catty. In the 1980s, that was a sky-high price!" The old expert said enviously, "In China, even Not many people dare to accept it!

"However, those boys were so wild that they even got on the overseas line and sold the ganoderma lucidum abroad! In a few years, those few people bought a car each..."

"Then..." Zhao Yu asked, "Do you know where they grew the purple ganoderma at that time?"

"I don't know," the old expert replied simply, "This is basically a commercial secret, they won't disclose it easily, right?

"However, when the company was established later [00kxs], I heard that they signed a lease agreement with the Forestry Society," the old expert said, "So, I guess, it is probably in a relatively remote mountain, right?

"Although the value of purple Ganoderma lucidum is high, it is very delicate, even if it is cultivated in the greenhouse later, it is also good and bad!

"I guess they have to find a natural environment, a place that is especially suitable for the growth of purple ganoderma, where the temperature is high, the humidity is high, and the external environment does not change much!

"Moreover, we need to find suitable cultured roots and high-quality spores. All in all, although the rewards of planting purple ganoderma are high, the investment is also high and the risk is also high!

"However, Bai Wenhai still succeeded. I don't know if he was lucky or really skilled..."

"Then what happened afterwards?" Zhao Yu asked, "Have you had any contact with him?"

"Hehe, colleagues are enemies!" The old expert smiled lightly, "At most, it's just a greeting after meeting!

"However, Bai Wenhai's company seems to be just a flash in the pan, probably..." He recalled, "It has been maintained for five or six years, right?

"It seems that in 1993 or 1994, his company went bankrupt!

"I don't know the specific situation, it may be because the purple ganoderma is not grown well, or it may be the gradual rise of greenhouses, which has caused an impact on them, or it may be that there are conflicts among them!

"In short, since then, the few of them have separated," said the old expert, "but Bai Wenhai has skills after all. After that, he is still engaged in the Ganoderma lucidum cultivation industry, and he has also set up a greenhouse. He has done well. !

"It's a pity..." the old man said regretfully, "Something happened to him later! His brother didn't know how to do it, so such a big property gradually declined.

"Later, his elder brother couldn't continue to work, and started to transfer the base. I also took over a few greenhouses..."

"Then..." Zhao Yu pondered for a while and asked, "Apart from Bai Wenhai, do you have any impression of the other people in their company?"

"No, of course not!" said the old expert, "everything I know is what other people say!

"All I know is that their planting base is in the mountains, but the warehouse and company offices are located in the suburb of Kangle, that is, Yingzhuangzi.

"Because it is a transportation hub, it is convenient to deliver goods. At that time, our family also had a warehouse there...

"I still remember that one year, there was a robbery in their warehouse, it seems... someone died!"

"ah!?"

In one sentence, both Zhao Yu and Xi Mengna exclaimed at the same time, which shocked the old expert!

"You said... someone died in their company!?" Zhao Yu asked hastily, "Tell me quickly, who is the person who died!!?"
