Era: Starting from cave dwellings in northern Shaanxi

Chapter 276 Follow the clues
The old branch secretary was a little unhappy when he heard someone suggest calling the police.

Not to mention that this would easily make things worse, more importantly, compared to the police, he was more willing to trust Sun Xiangyang.

Since Sun Xiangyang said the person who stole the money is not here, then he must not be here.

All that remains is to find the person who stole the money.

Regarding this point, he also preferred to hand it over to Sun Xiangyang rather than to the police.

At this moment, Sha Zhaojun was being stared at by everyone and felt uncomfortable all over.

Especially Sha Hongcheng's gaze, it looked more like he was eating someone.

Sha Zhaojun was the former accountant of Shapingba and an important member of the cadres of the Shapingba Brigade.

But since he came to Shuangshuiwan, although he, as an accountant, was still in charge of the accounting work of the Second Production Brigade (formerly Shapingba Brigade), his power was far less than that of Sun Qingyu. The coal mines, brick kilns, and even construction teams and schools were all under the management of Sun Qingyu.

Although he was nominally Sun Qingyu's assistant, in fact, the real financial power was in Sun Qingyu's hands.

He has been dissatisfied with Sun Qingyu for a long time, but he just didn't dare to show it.

The fundamental reason why Sun Qingyu did this was not xenophobia, but because he heard that this person had some dirty hands and feet and had done some bad things in Shapingba before.

Not to mention Sun Qingyu, even Sun Xiangyang didn't trust him, so how could he give him the important financial power?

If the Second Production Brigade had not lacked a suitable candidate and if Shapingba had not moved here recently, he would have replaced the other party long ago.

After all, Sha Zhaojun represented not only himself, but also the cadres of the second production team.

Anyway, with Sun Qingyu taking a bird's-eye view of the overall situation and supervising the other party, there is no need to worry about the other party doing anything weird again.

This time the money under Sun Qingyu's management was stolen. On the surface, Sha Zhaojun acted like everyone else, but in his heart he was secretly delighted. He felt that this was a chance to bring down Sun Qingyu. After all, he had made such a big mistake, how could he not be punished?

So he prefers to make things bigger.

If one wants to make a big fuss, the first choice is naturally to report it to the county, invite the police from the county, and then track down the thief in a grand manner.

Whether it can be found or not is not the point, but this matter will definitely cause a sensation.

After all, that’s 40,000 yuan, which is not a small amount of money.

As long as Sun Qingyu falls, wouldn't the financial power of Shuangshuiwan fall into his hands?

Sun Xiangyang looked at Sha Zhaojun deeply, but said nothing.

When the other party first came, he asked him a few simple questions, and based on his performance, he had ruled out suspicion.

"Xiangyang, what do you think we should do about this matter?"

Sha Hongcheng didn't say anything in the end, but just turned his eyes to Sun Xiangyang. Like the old branch secretary, he believed in Sun Xiangyang.

"I suspect that the person who stole the money has nothing to do with Shuangshui Bay."

Sun Xiangyang said simply.

"It has nothing to do with Shuangshui Bay? Who stole it? The key is that he was able to accurately find the accounting office and knew where the money was."

Sun Qingwu said with a frown.

He was also full of doubts now, and had no doubt about Sun Xiangyang's words.

“Did anything happen when you went to the credit union to withdraw money?”

Sun Xiangyang asked after thinking for a while.

He had learned from Su Huiwan before that the money in Shuangshuiwan's credit union account had long been disclosed by the credit union. Ordinary people might not know about it, but every one of the county leaders knew exactly how much money was in Shuangshuiwan's account.

The problem obviously lies with the credit union.

Putting aside other things, if you just know that Shuangshui Bay is rich, the credit union has the first-hand information.

"It was Director Wang from the credit union who received us that day. When he heard that we wanted to withdraw the remaining money, he said a lot of things, such as we had borrowed 100,000 yuan from the credit union and hoped that we could pay it back soon. But I ignored him."

Sun Qingyu recalled nearby.

The original loan of 100,000 yuan was provided by the commune after coal was discovered in Shuangshuiwan. It was interest-free and the term was three years.

To be honest, if the commune hadn't helped, even if Shuangshuiwan could have obtained a loan from a credit union, the conditions wouldn't have been so favorable.

However, since it was free for three years, how could Sun Qingyu, an accountant, pay it back in advance?

It will definitely take three years to make the final decision.

However, Director Wang from the credit union felt a little unbalanced. Even if it was a credit union, it was better to have the money in his own hands.

"Xiangyang, do you suspect Director Wang? He is the director of a county credit union, so he shouldn't be that suspicious, right?"

Sun Qingyu couldn't help but continue.

"No matter what, we have to go to the credit union. Even if we have to investigate, we should start with those who know about it."

Sun Xiangyang said simply.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Sun Qingyu said immediately.

"I'll take two people with me."

At this time, Sun Qingwu also spoke.

"That's it. You take people with Xiangyang to the county."

The old branch secretary made the final decision.

Without much nonsense, after the matter was finalized, Sun Xiangyang immediately drove the jeep and took Sun Qingyu and the two people brought by Sun Qingwu, a total of five people, straight to the county.

However, after arriving at the county, Sun Xiangyang did not go to the credit union immediately, but went to the Public Security Bureau first.

In Shuangshui Bay, Sun Xiangyang could interrogate people at will and no one would object.

But the county is not a place where he can act recklessly. Director Wang of the credit union is not an ordinary person either. He must have a wide network of contacts.

So the first person Sun Xiangyang thought of was his comrade-in-arms Sun Qingwu, who had secured his current position with his support.

Although he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, if the other party came forward to follow him, Director Wang would definitely cooperate obediently.

Sun Qingyu and Sun Qingyu had no objection to this, after all, Sun Xiangyang was originally in full charge of this operation.

Sun Xiangyang found Sun Qingwu's teammate and briefly explained the situation. After listening, the other party asked directly: What do you want to do? I will fully cooperate with you.

Then the other party brought two trusted subordinates, accompanied Sun Xiangyang and his party to the credit union and went straight to find Director Wang.

"Hey, Director Chen? What brings you here?"

The first person Director Wang saw was naturally Sun Qingwu's comrade-in-arms. The other party was now a full-fledged director and was definitely one of the few most influential people in the county.

"Director Wang, I am here today with Captain Sun from Shuangshui Bay to find you to learn more about the situation."

Director Chen smiled slightly and let Sun Xiangyang move to the front. He knew very well the significance of his coming here today.

From the beginning to the end, Sun Xiangyang never said that he would hand over the case to him. In other words, the other party planned to investigate it himself and just asked him to follow, which was relatively easier to talk to.

"Captain Sun? Hello, I've heard a lot about you."

Although Director Chen had never met Sun Xiangyang, and this was his first meeting, he was already familiar with the name, after all, Sun Xiangyang was a legend in Shuangshui Bay. More importantly, he was very clear about the relationship between the county's Deputy County Magistrate Su and Sun Xiangyang.

This person is no less important than Director Chen, and in some ways even more important.

Because there have been rumors for a long time that Director Chen was pushed to the position by Sun Xiangyang, and today, Director Chen's attitude seemed to prove this point.

So his attitude was also unusually enthusiastic.

"Director Wang, hello. I came here mainly to ask a question."

Sun Xiangyang started observing the other party as soon as he came in.

Even when the other party saw Sun Qingyu and knew his identity, he did not show any guilt or panic. From his attitude, it can be seen that this person is the type who is good at dealing with people.

"What's the problem? Even Director Chen was alarmed? Our credit union doesn't owe you money in Shuangshui Bay."

Wang Jingwei said half jokingly.

"It is Shuangshuiwan that owes the credit union money, but don't worry, Director Wang, we will pay it back as soon as we have money."

Sun Xiangyang said casually.

"Okay, this is what your Captain Sun said, I take it seriously, if you have any questions, just ask."

Wang Jingwei hits the snake while it is being caught.

"It's like this. Accountant Sun withdrew money from the credit union a few days ago. Does anyone here know about this?"

Sun Xiangyang did not directly mention that the money was stolen, he just asked a simple question.

"There are quite a few people who know about this. After all, you know that Shuangshuiwan is very famous now. First, they transferred 500,000 yuan to the carton factory, and then took the rest of the money away. It's such a big thing, and everyone will definitely discuss it when they have nothing to do. It's also human nature, right?"

Wang Jingwei pondered for a few seconds and then spoke slowly.

No matter who knows, no one can find any handle in his words. Anyway, the money you made in Shuangshui Bay was obtained in a legitimate way, and it also supported the struggling enterprises in the county. You should be rewarded. Are you afraid of people knowing?

"Yes, has Director Wang told anyone about this matter other than the people at the credit union?"

Sun Xiangyang asked again.

Because he heard a sense of casualness in the other party's words, it should not be limited to people from the credit union.

"This one……"

As expected, when Wang Jingwei heard Sun Xiangyang's question, he hesitated.

"Director Wang, let's just chat casually today. Just pretend Director Chen is not here."

Sun Xiangyang heard the other party's concerns and spoke directly.

"I did talk about this matter with a friend of mine. We were just having a few drinks and chatting casually. Captain Sun, tell me the truth. Did something happen? Otherwise, Director Chen wouldn't have come with me, right?"

Wang Jingwei glanced at Director Chen who was pretending to be invisible, but how could he really ignore him?

"To be honest, a thief broke into our Shuangshuiwan last night and stole all the money I withdrew from the credit union and the money I withdrew from before, which totaled almost 40,000 yuan."

Sun Xiangyang said.

"What? Someone stole 40,000 yuan from you?"

Wang Jingwei was obviously shocked when he heard this.

"Yes, we have checked Shuangshui Bay and didn't find any suspects, so we came here to ask about the situation and see if anyone else knows that we just withdrew the money."

Sun Xiangyang nodded.

"Captain Sun, you are not doubting me, are you?"

Wang Jingwei seemed a little shocked and angry.

"No, I believe in Director Wang. It's just that the credit union knows the situation in Shuangshui Bay best, so I thought of asking. But when did Director Wang tell that friend, and what did the other party do specifically?"

Sun Xiangyang said.

Although he couldn't be sure whether Wang Jingwei's friend had a problem, he just ruled them out one by one.

In addition to Director Wang, he would definitely ask other people in the credit union.

Even if we follow the clues, we have to rule out the credit union first, and take it step by step.

"It was the night before yesterday. My friend's name is Xu Biao. He's almost 40 years old and works at the supply and marketing cooperative."

Wang Jingwei did not mix in any of his own emotions, he simply stated the other party's identity.

"Xu Biao? Supply and Marketing Cooperative?"

Hearing this information, Sun Xiangyang's heart moved.

Shuangshuiwan actually had a lot of dealings with the supply and marketing cooperative. During the Chinese New Year, it purchased a large number of welfare benefits from the supply and marketing cooperative. Then, when Sun Xianfu, Sun Xiaoqing's third uncle, went to Shuangshuiwan to invite him, he "donated" 10,000 kilograms of flour to Shuangshuiwan, which was also circulated from the supply and marketing cooperative.

Moreover, over the past six months, people from Shuangshuiwan have occasionally made large purchases for the members, all at the supply and marketing cooperative.

It can be said that Shuangshuiwan is a big customer of the supply and marketing cooperative.

The supply and marketing cooperative also knows everything about Shuangshui Bay.

So when Sun Xiangyang heard that Wang Jingwei's friend was from the supply and marketing cooperative, he had a strong intuition that perhaps the other party was related to this matter.

This kind of intuition is very direct and mysterious, but Sun Xiangyang's current physiognomy and understanding of numerology have also reached the master level. It is normal to have a premonition.

What's more, there are countless connections between the two.

"Which supply and marketing cooperative is it? What does he mainly do in the supply and marketing cooperative?"

Sun Xiangyang continued to ask.

Wang Jingwei also answered immediately. The other party was responsible for transporting goods to the supply and marketing cooperative. After all, the supply and marketing cooperative sold so many goods every day and needed to operate continuously.

The supply and marketing cooperative that Wang Jingwei mentioned was indeed the one that had always had dealings with Shuangshuiwan, and it was also the largest supply and marketing cooperative in the county.

Although he had a strong intuition and premonition, Sun Xiangyang did not go to find the other party immediately. Instead, he asked Wang Jingwei to call the rest of the people in the credit union and questioned them one by one. After making sure that there were no problems with these people, he hurried away with them.

However, before leaving, Sun Xiangyang also asked Wang Jingwei to appease the people in the credit union and not let the matter become public.

If it had nothing to do with him, Wang Jingwei would definitely not agree, but he was a little unsure whether his friend had any problems.

If it has nothing to do with his friends, then there is naturally no need to keep it secret, and he may even actively publicize it.

Who asked Shuangshuiwan to withdraw all the money?
Live it!

He also enjoyed watching the joke.

But if the matter is really related to his friend, and he was the one who leaked the information to the other party, if we have to hold him accountable, he would have some problems to some extent.

As the director of a credit union, he must also be held responsible for carelessly leaking information about depositors, which resulted in the theft of 40,000 yuan.

Adding on to Sun Xiangyang's relationship with Su Huiwan, he might lose his position as director.

Therefore, even if Sun Xiangyang didn't say it, he wanted to keep it secret more than anyone else until his friend was cleared of suspicion.
