I am a super cop

Chapter 2879 Comes and goes without a trace
Xu Gong is now clearly trying to pass on the blame, and feels like he can't handle it anymore.

The key is that Gu Chen's team found out the management problems within the mining area, and the bald man cannot escape blame at this moment.

Xu Gong simply put the blame on the security guard at the door so that he could take a breath.

Gu Chen looked at his colleague and nodded in agreement: "Okay, then go ask at the door."

We all came to the security room at the door, which was a container house and was rather simple.

The older security guard was sitting there, quietly playing with his phone. He saw Gu Chen and his gang coming back here, along with their leader.

At this moment, the older security guard also quickly stood up and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Have you seen this person?" Gu Chen took out the photo album on his cell phone and showed it in front of the security guard.

The security guard shook his head: "I've never seen it before."

"Think about it carefully," Xu Gong urged, "Think about this person again. Did he wear an old set of work clothes and blend in with these workers to enter the mine?"

"Mr. Xu, how would I know that?" The security guard got anxious when he heard this and quickly defended himself:
"As you know, the things in our mine are all large items, and ordinary people are useless if they take them away, so we don't even have surveillance cameras installed at the door."

"Now you ask me to tell you whether this person has come in. To be honest, I really don't know."

"Usually, these people come to work in work clothes, so I usually just look at them and don't pay much attention."

"How could you not pay attention?" Upon hearing what the security guard said, Xu Gong also complained:

"You are guarding the gate here, so you should investigate. Someone has sneaked into the mine pretending to be an employee of our mine. The most important thing is that this person is dead."

Taking a deep breath, Xu Gong said helplessly: "So, you have to remember what the situation is with this person?"

"Mr. Xu." The security guard was a little upset, feeling that Mr. Xu was looking for trouble, and quickly retorted:
"I am here to help you guard the gate, but it is not my responsibility to identify the employees in the factory. My main job is to guard the vehicles coming in and out."

"You said it yourself. The mine carts are my main responsibility because the mines can only be transported by mine carts. Ordinary people would never steal the mines."

"So I only pay attention to the mine carts coming in and out. I will register them. But you want me to watch the people. How much do I get paid per month? Can I count people every day?"

"Besides, I asked you to install surveillance a long time ago, but you just couldn't bear to do it. Can you blame me for that?"

The security guard was also very righteous, and it seemed that he had disliked Mr. Xu for a long time.

Now that Xu Gong was causing trouble for him, the security guard directly fought back, which made Xu Gong feel very embarrassed.

Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Qing, the book writer, quickly persuaded him, "Mr. Xu, what he said is not wrong."

"You recruited them here just to register passing vehicles, didn't you? They have no obligation to help you distinguish real employees from fake ones. Wearing work clothes means they are employees here."

"Besides, you often have new employees coming in, all wearing work clothes. What do you want them to do?"

Shaking his right index finger, Zhao Qing said without hesitation: "In my opinion, the problem in this matter is still with the work clothes."

"Only by figuring out the source of the work clothes can we find the key to the problem."

As if he felt that he had said too much, Zhao Qing quickly turned around to look at Gu Chen and asked Gu Chen:
"Officer Gu, am I right?"

"You are right." After hearing what Zhao Qing said, Gu Chen took the initiative to step forward and explained:

"The deceased was seen by an old employee of the mine area, and he was still wearing old work clothes."

"Then we just need to check the work clothes."

After he finished speaking, Gu Chen looked at Xu Gong again and asked, "How many sets of work clothes do your employees usually have?"

"Two sets." Engineer Xu held up two fingers and explained, "These two sets of work clothes are what the workers wear in turn."

"Who is the person who distributes the work clothes?" Officer Wang asked quickly.

"It's that guy." Looking around, he saw the bald man was still checking the employees, so Xu Gong quickly explained:

"It's Baldy. He's in charge of the mine area management, distributing work clothes, and collecting tools. It's all his responsibility."

"Then call him over, check the receipt of the work uniforms, and then count the inventory." Lu Weiwei said.

"Okay." Mr. Xu had no other choice at the moment and could only call the bald man back.

Then everyone returned to the bald man's office together.

The bald man was also searching everywhere at this moment, then he found a booklet in the drawer and began to look for the number of items he had received in the booklet.

After repeated confirmation, the bald man looked up and said, "There is no problem with the number of work uniforms received. Everyone has received two sets of work uniforms, and they have all signed."

"Is there any problem with the inventory quantity?" Yuan Shasha asked.

"Inventory, wait." The bald man seemed to have discovered something and started to check carefully.

After a moment, the bald man's expression suddenly turned ugly, and he raised his head and said:
"It seems that there are two sets of work clothes missing from the inventory."

"Two sets are missing?" Everyone responded in unison when they heard it.

Lu Weiwei quickly asked, "That means two sets of work clothes are missing, and the work clothes are likely taken away by the deceased."

Looking back at Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei asked again, "Junior Brother Gu, is this true? Someone else has claimed the uniform?"

"That's the case." Gu Chen confirmed this statement and looked at the bald man again.

The bald man was a little panicked at this moment, and quickly checked the form again.

But no matter how I checked, there were always two items missing.

At this moment, the bald man was completely panicked and felt that something was wrong.

He looked up at Gu Chen and the others and explained, "The inventory registration shows that two sets are missing, but there are still five sets left in stock. I'll check the inventory and find out."

"Then hurry up." Officer Wang was a little impatient and urged.

The bald man nodded silently, found the key in the drawer, then hurried out of the office door and walked towards the end of the two-story mobile house.

After searching for the right accessories, he opened the door directly.

There are some iron racks inside, with various materials placed on them.

Among them were some work clothes packed in bags and piled in a cardboard box.

The cardboard box was a little damaged at this moment, and the work clothes inside seemed to have been turned over by someone, making it look rather messy.

But the bald man didn't care about all that and quickly started rummaging inside, counting as he searched: "Two sets, four sets, five... five sets?" When he took the fifth set of work clothes, he stood there in a daze, not moving.

Gu Chen stepped forward and asked, "So, there are only five sets left in stock, which means two sets are missing?"

"Yes." The bald man looked nervous, put the work clothes back into the box, and said slowly:
"There shouldn't be a shortage of these materials. I remember when we registered, the workers who came to collect their work clothes signed in person after receiving them."

"But now, why are there two items missing? What's going on?"

"What's going on?" Xu Gong heard this and said unhappily:
"You have always been in charge of the key to this warehouse. Could someone else have pried open the door lock and stolen two sets of work clothes?"

After a pause, Xu Gong said unhappily, "In my opinion, someone must have stolen your key and went to the warehouse to steal things."

"You are the kind of person who always likes to leave your keys in a drawer and never lock it."

"Workers come in and out, so it's easy for them to find your loopholes. When you're not around, they can secretly take the keys, open the warehouse door, and steal things without you even knowing it."

"Uh... maybe this is the case?" After hearing what Mr. Xu said, the bald man was not sure at the moment.

Xu Gong added: "In my opinion, you should quickly count the materials in the warehouse."

"Uh, yes, we need to take inventory." Reminded by Engineer Xu, the bald man immediately picked up the booklet in his hand and began to count the materials according to the quantity in the booklet.

His movements were clumsy and awkward.

The people standing at the door sighed when they saw this scene.

But while waiting, everyone was also observing the supplies on the shelves.

Most of the supplies here are packed in cartons, and many of the cartons are not closed properly after being opened, resulting in damage.

Moreover, the supplies that were taken away were left in a mess.

If we want to take inventory, it will definitely take half a day.

The bald man is counting here now, obviously wasting time.

Officer Wang said unhappily, "Take a quick look first. Is there anything wrong?"

"This one……"

After hesitating for a moment, the bald man casually looked through the surrounding shelves as requested and said:
"It seems that there is no problem here except that two sets of work clothes are missing."

"Then quickly find a way to find the two lost work clothes." Yuan Shasha also reminded.

The bald man was very panicked at the moment. He felt overwhelmed in everything he did, but he couldn't complain in front of these people.

So they started calling the team leaders and asked them to ask their subordinates whether they knew the situation of the work clothes in various places.

The scene fell into awkwardness again and everyone returned to the office.

Xu Gong poured tea for everyone and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, there are indeed some minor problems with our management here."

"Because our mines have only been developed recently, many supporting facilities are not complete."

After he finished speaking, Xu Gong explained to everyone: "For example, the walls around us are all temporarily blocked by barbed wire."

"For example, our offices here are all mobile houses, which are temporary."

"Also, the road from the town to here is very narrow. Recently, we have received funding from above to widen the road."

"We think so too. Once the mining is on track, we will start to manage this mining area seriously."

Xu Gong said a lot and everyone listened a lot.

But to sum up, the mining area has only been developed recently and funds are relatively tight, so they seem to be a bit stingy in building the mining area.

But once the funding comes in from above, the road can be repaired and the mining area will seriously improve the mining environment.

After walking back and forth twice, Gu Chen said without hesitation: "Mr. Xu, these two sets of lost work clothes are very problematic and critical."

"The loss of work clothes means that someone wants to sneak into the mine. As for what they want to do? I'm afraid only you know."

"Is there anything in your mining area that attracts the wind?"

"No, no." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Xu Gong quickly waved his hand and denied it:
"In our mining area, there is no such thing as a tree that attracts the wind. There is nothing else except the mines."

"Then why did this deceased person sneak into your mining area without any reason?"

"If there is no strong purpose, I don't think people will take the risk, right?" Lu Weiwei also said what she meant.

This made Xu Gong very embarrassed, and he didn't know how to refute for a moment.

Zhao Qing couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked up to Xu Gong and started criticizing him:
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, you two are both managers and principals of the mining area."

"But why did you have no idea that there was a stranger in your mine area, and he was secretly wearing your work clothes? This is very problematic."

"Oh, I really don't know." I felt speechless and couldn't find any reason to refute for a while.

At this time, Mr. Xu was neither standing nor sitting in the room.

At this moment, the bald man who was communicating on the phone outside seemed to have received good news. After a simple confirmation, the bald man hung up the phone, quickly moved into the crowd, and said:

"There is a worker in our mine who has actually seen the extra work clothes."

"Tell me about it." Gu Chen immediately started listening mode after hearing it.

When the others saw this, they also gathered around.

The bald man said slowly, "The young employee in our mine said he had seen that man before and had some impression of him. But he didn't pay attention to him because he was working next to him in his work clothes at the time."

"It felt like he was a colleague at the mine, but he had no idea that this person was actually the deceased."

"What else did you say?" Gu Chen continued to ask after hearing that.

The bald man quickly responded: "The miner also said that the deceased was walking back and forth beside him at the time, just walking around, but not working."

"That's why the employee felt resentful, thinking his colleague was slacking off, so he wanted to see what the other person looked like."

After a pause, the bald man continued, "I only saw it clearly later. That person looked a little special, so it was easy to identify him."

"But later the employee said that he felt like he had encountered this guy, just like he had encountered a ghost, who came and went without a trace."
