Chapter 283 - 282: Consult Lord Jiang
Ye Xinyan settled Xie Chun and Zhang Baokui before returning to consult with Qi Younian, Cheung Wusi, and Wong Qiao on what to do next.
Whether it was the Dairy Products Store or the cattle farm, security measures needed to be implemented. Despite having night patrols at both locations, the current situation clearly indicated that the force was insufficient and lacking in professionalism.
Ye Xinyan expressed her worries, "Ordinary people simply can’t guard against such thieves. Xie Chun, Zhang Baokui, and I have looked inside and out several times and haven’t found the slightest trace left by the thieves." Forgive her, although she had time-traveled here, she was not a detective. In theory, there should be traces left if there was any contact, but she couldn’t find any.
Wong Qiao suggested, "How about we report this to the government office? The Yamen has specialized personnel for investigation and arrest, at least more professional than us. It would be better than us making wild guesses here and not finding a way forward."
Ye Xinyan glanced at Wong Qiao, this fellow, a typical law-abiding citizen, the court’s good subjects, always thinking of the government office first.
Cheung Wusi shook his head and said, "The Yamen usually just supervises ordinary affairs, they are equally clueless when faced with tough cases." They might be more precise when setting someone up, rather than handling actual work.
Although Qi Younian had similar thoughts to Cheung Wusi, Qingyuan County’s Magistrate Sir being Jiang Yifan was naturally another matter.
"We still need to report to the authorities, or perhaps we should first consult Lord Jiang on whether it is better to report officially or to have Lord Jiang send someone to investigate privately. We should also inform Sixth Master, as it seems like only a small piece of cheese was lost, but if this cheese could really sell for a high price, then we can’t treat it as just an ordinary trifle. Sixth Master has the largest share in the Dairy Products Store, and we need to clarify this matter with the early owner to avoid any misunderstanding."
