900 chapters, a milestone, just a chapter, not easy]
Ye Fan immediately took a flashlight, used his eagle eyes to observe carefully for a while, and said: "Well, there is something different. It seems that the inner wall of the wood that makes this tree pocket is lighter in color than the leaked powder that fell out. And
The color of these slag is more red, which is darker than the wall of the tree pocket. However, if you don’t look carefully, you can’t tell. This is strange. It stands to reason that the wood slag was bitten out by mice in the tree pocket, and the color should be
Same, how come two colors appear in the same tree pocket?"
"Two types of wood come together." Qi Tian missed a sentence, and Ye Fan was shocked. He turned around and stared at Qi Tian blankly, which made the boy feel a little frightened, and murmured: "Brother, could it be that I said
Wrong?"
"Yes, you are absolutely right." Ye Fan patted the tree pocket, glanced at the two of them, and said, "Maybe the sawdust powder was filled in later. Why did they do it like that? Is it to reduce weight?
Well, it’s quite difficult to fill in?”
"That's not the problem, brother. I suspect there's something wrong with these sawdust. Is there any value to these sawdust powder? I just heard from brother that all these tree pockets are sold abroad. Could it be..." Lu Wei expressed the doubt in his heart.
"Let's talk about it later." Ye Fan nodded.
After splitting it, the three of them were a little stunned, because the inside was completely hollowed out. A lump of sawdust in the center was compressed tightly, as if it had been processed by some special method, like a compressed biscuit.
A lump of sawdust as big as a fist can fill a washbasin after being knocked apart. If all the sawdust filled in a tree pocket of this size is spread out, it may not be as big as a excrement bucket for rural people.
"It's weird. The people at Jingyang Forestry Farm have nothing to do. The original logs in the tree pockets have been hollowed out. Some of these wood slag chips have been filled in, and they have been filled together like compressed biscuits. Then the tree
Isn’t the bag heavier? Is it just for holding it up after eating and looking for trouble? It’s just those foreigners who take this to pad their buttocks and appreciate it as a work of art, but they can’t eat it?” Qi Tian scolded in a funny way.
"It's time to eat, what are you busy with? I've been banging all afternoon." At this time, Ye Fan's father Ye Chenxi walked in. He was stunned when he saw the sawdust and debris on the floor, walked over and said with a smile: "Not yet.
Clean it up, it's all over the floor, the wood dust will be blown everywhere by the wind, making the whole house dirty, and your mother will be fussy again." Then he picked up the broom and started to use it.
Sweeping, but Ye Fan shouted: "Dad, don't move, is there something wrong with these wood slag powder?"
"The problem, whatever the problem is, it's all fake fir wood residue," Ye Chenxi said with a smile.
"Uncle, what kind of wood is fake fir?" Lu Wei asked.
"Originally, the wood of real fir is usually slightly white, while the fake fir is red. There is nothing you can do with the two types of wood. You can see clearly after sawing." Ye Chenxi said,
I knelt down and looked at the sawdust. Suddenly I heard something, as if I had discovered something. I stretched out my finger to taste and smell it.
His face immediately became solemn, and he asked: "Fan Zai, where did you get this tree pocket?"
"It was a gift from Jingyang Forestry Wood Factory." Ye Fan said and asked, "Dad, did you find something?"
"Well, it's very strange. These wood residues are obviously not the same kind of wood as the tree pocket. Moreover, if I guessed correctly, these wood residues may be yew crushed into powder." Ye Chenxi said.
"Yew!" Ye Fan and the other three shouted in silence.
"What's it called? What's going on in Jingyang Forest Farm? Good yews are used to fill the tree pockets? I heard that wild yews are not allowed to be cut down and will be jailed." Ye Chenxi frowned.
"Dad, do you know the uses of yew?" Ye Fan asked.
"I don't know. It seems that it can be made into furniture, and it is quite expensive. Of course, no one dares to cut it now. The ones that can be made into furniture are all cultivated ones. Compared with wild ones, the price is quite different.
"We Chinese people all like primitive ones. Take pheasants for example, one pound costs more than ten yuan per pound. The domestic ones are also called pheasants, but the price is much cheaper." Ye Chenxi said with a smile.
In the evening, just after dinner, Ye Fan called Cheetah directly and asked Zhang Qiang to check for him what the yew tree could do.
Unfortunately, Zhang Qiang's phone number never got through. Ye Fan gave up, but Lu Wei used some special channels to find out an amazing piece of news.
"Brother, paclitaxel can be extracted from the bark of yew trees, which is an internationally recognized anti-cancer agent. This drug paclitaxel is mainly suitable for ovarian cancer and breast cancer. It is also effective for lung cancer, colorectal cancer, melanoma, head and neck cancer,
Lymphoma and brain tumors also have certain curative effects.
Moreover, that medicine is quite expensive. In the past, it could only be extracted from bark, but now that technology has developed, it can also be extracted from wood.
Moreover, the paclitaxel contained in wild yew trees is of high quality, purely natural, and its price is several times that of artificial cultivation." Lu Wei said with excitement on his face, because he vaguely felt the clues to solving the case.
"Is it possible that Jingyang Forest Farm is exporting tree coffee tables on the surface? In fact, it is smuggling these wild yews out of the customs. Once they arrive in foreign countries, they take out the yew powder and use it to refine paclitaxel. This is a huge profit.
A tree pocket can hold a compressed yew tree with a diameter of about 20 centimeters. How much can it be sold for?" Qi Tian also came out of Cheetah and revealed the secret.
"Moreover, there is a wild yew in the Langdang Valley Reserve in Jingyang Forest Farm. Because the place is so remote, no one goes there except the forest rangers. Even the rangers don't want to go. Ruomeng's father Ye Shuigan is
A forest ranger later fell to his death inexplicably in Langdang Valley. Could it be that he discovered that the yew trees had been cut down, which triggered the people who engaged in these activities." Ye Fan looked melancholy, and felt a pang in his heart.
Come up.
In the evening, because Qi Tian and Lu Wei were there, Yu Jiaolong didn't come to worry about Ye Fan, and went shopping with Ye Ziyi.
The next morning, the four of them, Ye Fan and Li Xuanshi, arrived at Langdang Valley early.
Because Li Xuanshi often sneaks into the Langdang Valley Reserve to hunt, so he knows where to go when he comes to the yew forest.
After walking for nearly two hours, Li Xuanshi pointed to the forest in the distance and said with a smile: "Brother Ye, you can reach it just over this hillside. I saw it from a distance when I was chasing a wild rabbit while hunting a few years ago. However, that forest
It seems like someone is guarding the forest, preventing people from getting close."
"Xuan Shi, what happened today must be kept secret. You are not allowed to tell anyone except you? Be careful when you pass by so that you don't get discovered?" Ye Fan explained cautiously.
"Brother Ye, do you want to get some yew pieces to make furniture? I heard that the price is very expensive on the market now. If you don't tell me earlier, find Hengshan and Li Niu. Let's move at night and have him carry half a truck away. Anyway, everyone's
He's very strong. Now, let's step on the plate first." Li Xuanshi looked like a little thief, which made Lu Wei and Qi Tian want to laugh.
"Forget it, the wild yew is a national first-level protected plant. It is known as the giant panda plant. If you cut it down, you will go to jail." Ye Fan sighed, glanced at Li Xuanshi sideways, and said: "I came here to investigate the case. If I had done it before, I would go to jail."
Meng's father died in an unknown manner. If Meng never forgets this matter before his death, I promised him..." Ye Fan simply made it clear because he thought that Li Xuanshi was familiar with this area and had some eyes and ears in the area.
It will also be convenient for Lu Wei to investigate the case in the future.
"Why didn't you bastard Ruomeng really do such an unscrupulous thing with our Jingyang Forest Farm before? I took the whole village of Tianshui Bazi and smashed the hell out of him." Li Xuanshi's face was full of anger, and he kicked
He kicked the big tree hard, scaring away a few lazy crows.
"Don't worry, now that there are clues, it will be easy to handle. Therefore, this matter must be kept secret. If this is the true situation, this matter is quite big, and I suspect that some city leaders may be involved.
At least Chen Ershun of the wood furniture factory definitely has a problem, as well as Mazhankui, the deputy director in charge of the wood furniture factory, and Wei Hu, director of the Jingyang Forestry Public Security Bureau, probably all have problems.
This is a huge network. In the past, Ruomeng doubted whether it was Zheng Qingwang who did it, but he also had suspicions. Before the matter was figured out, everyone in Jingyang Forest Farm had problems.
However, my tree bag was given by Director Zheng. If he was involved, he would not dare to give me such a tree bag.
Moreover, the tree pocket was given to me by name when the factory director Zheng saw the workers loading the truck. Because of this, he almost got into a dispute with the deputy director in charge of loading the truck. It seems that Zheng Qingwang was suspected.
She is the youngest." Ye Fan said with a frown.
Coming closer.
Qi Tian took out a military high-definition telescope and observed it for a while.
He said: "Sure enough, there is a problem. You seem to have some trees that are being cut down. There are still workers working during the Chinese New Year. I guess the red envelope subsidy is not small."
Ye Fan took the telescope and observed it for a while, and suddenly found a problem and said: "There is definitely a problem. The forest to the east seems to have been cut down a lot, but some small yew trees have been planted in the cut places. I heard that there is a problem.
Artificially planted yews grow quickly."
"It's just a matter of replacing new ones, cutting them down and planting them yourself. After the wild ones are cut down, the artificial ones will grow into forests to cope with inspections from superiors. Of course, they will also keep some of them as a front to act as a group of lawless national thieves."
Lu Wei cursed while observing.
"Why don't we just arrest all the tree cutters and dump them out after one trial?" Li Xuanshi said.
"If it doesn't work, it will scare the snake. When the time comes, all the big fish will refuse to admit their fault. How many small ones will be caught at most?" Still, the cause of Ye Shuigen's death cannot be found out.
We have to set up a tight net to cut down trees, make tools, and sell them all in one package.
It is estimated that they also produce some real wood products for export to hide from others. After several years, even Zheng Qingwang, the director of the farm who is very close to him, did not find out. They are really strict.
Anyone who can lay such a big net is definitely a master. We must be extremely careful when competing with him, otherwise, the big fish will escape." After all, Lu Wei came down from the investigation room of the Ministry of Public Security and is very thoughtful.
