The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 1125 Suspicious Points, Chen Xingyi Makes a Great Contribution

Master Lu said, "Anything that has happened will leave a trace!"

This also applies to investigations.

The weather station acted very quickly and soon found several books at the Zhou family's house.

The books were ordinary, the kind of books common in this era, except that every few pages there were ink dots under the text.

This is a very common encryption method, which is fine for evading general inspections, but it's not enough to fool those older comrades.

These books are actually letters!

The letters were quickly deciphered.

The correspondence began in 55, when Professor Haruyama was already a researcher at a research institute in Tokyo, continuing his work on locomotive research.

The first few letters were normal, just the father caring about his daughter and the daughter missing her father.

When Zhou Ri was promoted to Changxindian Locomotive Factory, the mass production plan for oil tanker trains began, and Professor Chunshan began to urge Jiang Chunyue to get her hands on the blueprints.

These letters are enough to show that the real mastermind is from the small group.

Old Cat interrogated Jiang Chunyue several more times. Jiang Chunyue was completely unaware of this and thought that Professor Chunshan just missed her and planned to take her back.

It is obvious that Professor Haruyama also only used her as a tool.

"No, it's impossible. Father would never do such a thing. I am his most beloved daughter." Upon hearing this news, Jiang Chunyue felt as if she had been struck by lightning and could not believe the result.

She covered her face and shook her head frantically, crying as she denied Li Aiguo's claims.

“Chen Mingyi, the one who was responsible for delivering your books, suddenly drowned in the lake in the park on the 21st of last month, shortly after you were arrested,” Li Aiguo said coldly.

Hear this.

The sob caught in her throat, and Jiang Chunyue felt as if she were in darkness. Her body went limp, and she collapsed into a chair.

Even if she were incredibly naive, she could understand that someone had been watching her the entire time, which was why they were able to discover her arrest so quickly and immediately carry out the cleanup operation.

The fact that the person or group did not provide her with an escape route is enough to show that Jiang Chunyue was just a tool, a tool used to smuggle the blueprints out of the Changxindian Locomotive Factory.

Jiang Chunyue used Zhou Risheng as a tool, but she never expected that she would unknowingly become someone else's tool.

How tragic!

Jiang Chunyue felt as if she had been abandoned by the whole world, and tears streamed down her face, dripping onto the ground.

A sense of grief permeated the entire interrogation room.

"Take it away."

Li Aiguo showed no sympathy whatsoever for Jiang Chunyue's plight.

Without her, Zhou Risheng might not have made such a serious mistake.

Li Aiguo was interested in whether this operation was Professor Chunshan's plan, or whether Professor Chunshan was being controlled by some organization.

If it's the latter, then the problem is serious.

Unfortunately, Chen Mingyi drowned, and the trail went cold for the time being.

"Aiguo, the matter of Zhou Risheng has been thoroughly investigated. He will be sent to a farm in the Northwest this afternoon. He wants to meet with you before he leaves." Old Cat walked over.

"He's gone. Let him reform himself over there." Li Aiguo waved his hand and drove away from the weather station.

At this moment.

Inside a villa in Tokyo.

"Baka! You failed to bring out the blueprints! You're all a bunch of idiots!" Ryota, dressed in traditional clothing, slammed his fist on the table.

“We’ve done our best. It was Professor Chunshan’s son-in-law who caused the problem, which also resulted in us losing a nail.” The middle-aged man in the black Zhongshan suit was bent at almost a ninety-degree angle.

Ryota was about to get angry when another old man waved his hand and said, "Ryota-kun, we did not come away empty-handed from this operation."

"Nani?"

"At least we can be sure that the many good things produced on the mainland are inseparable from that train driver at the Qianmen Locomotive Depot, and we can give Langley an explanation."

Upon hearing this, Liangtian's eyes darted around, his face shifting with various expressions. He stood up, looked at the middle-aged man, and said, "Go back and destroy all the data from this operation. Shut that old bastard Chunshan up."

The middle-aged man said "Hai" and opened the door to leave, carefully closing it again before he left.

After the door was closed again, Liangtian turned to the old man and said, "Keep this a secret for now."

The old man was somewhat surprised by his decision and asked nervously, "Ryota-kun, you're not planning to cooperate with Langley?"

Ryota sat down, poured himself a glass of sake, took a small sip, and said, "Our Remnant Clan Association is only cooperating with Langley because we have no other choice. Yamamoto-san, have you forgotten the true purpose of the Remnant Clan Association?"

"We dare not forget!" The old man suddenly stood up, his expression becoming resolute: "Let's take back everything we once had."

"Yes, to achieve this goal, I think it would be more advantageous to have this information in our own hands!"

Liangtian poured himself another glass of wine.

Looking at his sinister appearance, the old man couldn't help but shudder.

Is this guy planning something big?

Li Aiguo was unaware of these things, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared, because he was currently attending a celebration party held by the Changxindian Locomotive Factory.

After the case was investigated, the meteorological station reported the relevant information to the Changxindian Locomotive Factory.

The leaders of the locomotive factory also learned the whole story from Section Chief Qin of the Security Department, and finally, on the advice of Chief Engineer Wang, decided to commend the meritorious personnel.

"Distinguished leaders and fellow workers, this congress is a successful congress, a victorious congress."

A while ago, a serious case occurred in our locomotive factory. Comrade Chen Xingyi from the technical department, undeterred by difficulties and disregarding personal gain or loss, assisted the comrades from the public security department in solving the case and saving the factory from huge losses.

Here, I call on all workers to learn from Comrade Chen Xingyi. Chen Xingyi, come up here!

Amidst enthusiastic applause, Chen Xingyi walked onto the stage. His face was flushed, and he seemed unsure of what to do with his hands, appearing extremely nervous.

"Comrade Chen Xingyi, please say a few words." The factory leader pulled Chen Xingyi to the middle.

Chen Xingyi had already prepared the materials, and he read them aloud, his voice trembling, while holding the crumpled documents.

His performance was only passable, but that didn't matter. Changxindian Locomotive Factory needed this role model.

Chen Xingyi was given a big red flower, an enamel mug, and a blanket.

The factory leaders promoted Chen Xingyi another level, and he might even be selected as an outstanding employee at the end of the year. Chen Xingyi felt like he was dreaming and couldn't believe his ears. Only when his gaze fell on Li Aiguo below the stage did he feel relieved.

With this brother-in-law around, there won't be any problems.

In the evening, Chen Xingyi returned home. His second sister-in-law saw him and quickly asked, "Xingyi, have you finished your work?"

"Hmm, look what this is?" Chen Xingyi handed over the big red flower and the certificate of merit.

The second sister-in-law was stunned when she saw it, and became excited immediately after learning that Chen Xingyi had made a contribution.

"This is great news! Tomorrow is the weekend, let's cook some dishes at home and invite Dad, my sister, my brother-in-law, my older brother, and my sister-in-law over."

Chen Xingyi was usually very frugal, but this was a truly happy occasion, so he went to the market early the next morning to buy groceries.

Li Aiguo originally planned to rest for a day, but he was about to be busy again because Section Chief Xu from the State Farm was coming tomorrow.

After receiving a message from my sister-in-law, I also wrapped Xiao Dongfang in a swaddle. It was a bit windy outside, but driving the SUV meant I wasn't worried about the child catching a cold.

Li Aiguo and his family came to Chen Xingyi's house. His sister-in-law, brother, and Chen Fangxuan all came.

When the eldest sister-in-law learned that Chen Xingyi had received an award and had also been promoted, her eyes reddened.

“When we asked you to go to the locomotive factory, you kept making excuses. My second brother is about to become an engineer.” The eldest sister-in-law reached out and pinched Chen Xingjia’s arm.

Chen Xingjia winced in pain: "Wife, you know I like working at the lumber mill."

"You, you," the sister-in-law thought Chen Xingjia was hopeless, but there was nothing she could do.

Chen Xingyi really went all out this time, cooking four or five dishes and opening a bottle of aged Fenjiu liquor.

Chen Xingyi first toasted Chen Fangxuan.

Chen Fangxuan took the wine and said, "Second brother, it's good that you've done a good job, but you must not be arrogant. You should learn more from your brother-in-law."

"I understand, I understand, Dad." Chen Xingyi nodded quickly.

Chen Fangxuan knew that the second brother was not an outspoken person, so he didn't say anything and drank the wine in one gulp.

Chen Xingyi poured Li Aiguo another glass of wine: "Brother-in-law, thank you very much this time."

Chen Xingyi's words came from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for Li Aiguo, he wouldn't have been able to stay in the detention room for two days and make a contribution.

Li Aiguo didn't stand on ceremony, nodded, picked up his wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, the eldest sister-in-law had a plan in mind. She smiled and said, "Second brother, I forgot to ask you, what did you do to deserve this merit?"

The older brother was picking up food when he heard this, so he stopped eating.

Chen Xueru, holding Xiao Dongfang, looked at Chen Xingyi with curiosity.

Under several gazes, Chen Xingyi offered the excuse he had prepared beforehand: "This is a work-related matter, involving confidential information."

Hearing that it involved classified information, the elder sister-in-law and elder brother didn't press the matter further.

After a few drinks, the atmosphere around the dinner table became lively.

After finishing their meal, it was already 1 p.m. Li Aiguo still needed to prepare for tomorrow's work, so he left with his family.

The elder sister-in-law and Chen Xingjia helped tidy up the house and then returned to the tailor shop.

"Xingjia, I think the reason why the second brother made a contribution this time is related to his brother-in-law." The searcher entered the room and plopped down in a chair.

"That's impossible. My brother-in-law only went to the locomotive factory to help build equipment. He can't interfere with the factory's affairs." Chen Xingjia poured her a glass of water and handed it to her.

The sister-in-law took the drink, took a sip, and shook her head: "You underestimate your brother-in-law."

Seeing that her older brother seemed uninterested and went back inside to look at the documents, she sighed in frustration, "He's just a blockhead."

The elder sister-in-law knew that Chen Xingjia didn't like to ask others for help, so she had no choice but to give up.

When Li Aiguo returned to the courtyard house in the afternoon, he had just reached the middle courtyard when Qin Huairu sneakily ran over.

"Patriotism, can you do me a favor?"

"No." Li Aiguo continued walking.

Qin Huairu was stunned, and her face visibly darkened.

She hadn't even opened her mouth to ask yet.

Seeing Li Aiguo walk further and further away, Qin Huairu bit her lip, braced herself, and quickly followed. She brushed the hair behind her ear and forced a smile.

"It's nothing major, I just wanted you to talk to the steel mill and ask Dongxu to advance a few months' worth of payments. You see, I'm pregnant."

Li Aiguo interrupted her: "You're pregnant, what does that have to do with me?"

Qin Huairu mustered up a lot of courage to come to Li Aiguo this time. She didn't want to borrow money; she just wanted Li Aiguo to put in a good word for her.

Qin Huairu had heard that Li Aiguo had a very good relationship with Deputy Director Li of the steel rolling mill, so this was just a small favor.

I thought Li Aiguo would definitely agree out of consideration for our past relationship.

The result was surprisingly indifferent.

Qin Huairu wanted to speak again, but since she hadn't completely turned evil, her face turned bright red with embarrassment, and she couldn't say a word.

Li Aiguo, too lazy to deal with these messy things, was about to take a step.

Seeing Qin Huairu still blocking his way, he casually remarked, "Isn't there Yi Zhonghai? He's Jia Dongxu's mentor; surely he can't just not help, right?"

Li Aiguo was just saying it casually, but Qin Huairu's eyes lit up and she moved away.

"Thank you for your patriotism."

"Thanks?"

Li Aiguo found it strange.

Yi Zhonghai has already fallen out with the Jia family; they're practically stabbing each other in the back. How could he possibly lend money to the Jia family?

Is there something else I don't know?
However, Li Aiguo didn't think much of it; this matter had nothing to do with him, and he should focus on getting the oil pumping unit sorted out as soon as possible.

In the afternoon, Li Aiguo worked for two hours and finally finished drawing up the blueprints for the double-headed oil pumping unit, and also made some localization modifications.
