The Red Era: Living in Seclusion in a Siheyuan as a Boss

Chapter 210: Red Star Factory "explodes"

Liu Zhiye glanced at the photo of Xu Dalong and Yang Xue hanging on the wall and said, "Old Sun, take a photo of Yang Xue and bring it back to enlarge it."

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

The factory leaders who received the report from the Security Department were shocked. Led by Director Yang, they went straight to the Finance Department.

At this time, the Finance Department was in chaos, bustling with activity, like a group of ants running around in a circle.

Director Dong angrily scolded Section Chief Wu: "What are you doing? How can you let Xiao Yang go alone to collect so much money? Why don't you let the comrades from the Security Department go with you?"

Section Chief Wu smiled helplessly and said, "In the past, she was always accompanied by someone. Who knows what evil spirit possessed her today? She went to withdraw the money alone, and did not ask a comrade from the Security Department to accompany her."

Director Dong frowned and asked, "Then Yang Xue has no abnormal behavior?"

Section Chief Wu thought for a moment and shook his head, "Nothing unusual, she was talking and laughing, and seemed very happy. By the way, she also asked me for leave, saying that it was her birthday today and she would not come to work in the afternoon."

"Director! Could it be that Xiao Yang has absconded with the money?"

Upon hearing this, Director Dong's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I know Xiao Yang quite well. She has a family, so she shouldn't do such an unwise thing, right?"

Section Chief Wu glanced at her cautiously and said, "I'm afraid people's minds are hard to predict!"

Director Dong frowned and interrupted him with a sad look on his face: "Don't speculate blindly. Let's wait until the Security Department investigates. Let's think about what to do with the workers' wages. If they know that their wages are gone, something bad will happen. Let's think of a solution quickly."

While they were discussing, Director Yang and Deputy Director Jiang suddenly rushed in with a group of leaders.

Director Yang asked anxiously, "Director Dong, what's going on?" He had just taken office as factory director, and the Finance Department had created such a big "trouble" for him.

Director Dong responded self-blamingly: "It was my poor management that led to this incident. It's like this..." Director Dong took a deep breath and began to talk about what happened with some helplessness.

Upon hearing this, Director Yang was furious and scolded Director Dong, "Sister Dong, you are a senior member of the Finance Department, but you handled this matter so crudely. How can you let a female comrade collect such a large amount of money by herself?"

Director Dong explained helplessly: "Director, we had to follow the rules to withdraw money before. Today, Xiao Yang was possessed by a demon and withdrew money by herself without notifying the Security Department. We only found out about it afterwards. Only after the incident happened did we realize that she went alone."

Director Yang said decisively: "Stop talking nonsense. The important thing now is to send someone to the bank to withdraw some of the money and pay the workers' wages first."

When Director Jiang heard this, he immediately sent someone to prepare relevant supporting documents, such as bills and letters of introduction, and sent someone to the bank to withdraw the money again.

Here, Director Yang talked carefully with Deputy Director Jiang. He said, "Old Jiang, this matter is now handed over to your Security Department. You must solve this case as soon as possible and find Yang Xue and the lost money."

Deputy Director Jiang said seriously, "Leader, don't worry. Comrade Liu Zhiye has already taken charge of this matter. With his ability, he will soon be able to get to the bottom of the matter and find Yang Xue and the funds."

"That's good!"

"Since Comrade Liu Zhiye is in charge of this matter, I won't say much. Please make sure to solve the case as soon as possible. If you delay for too long, we will have to bear the consequences..." Director Yang warned seriously.

"Yes! I guarantee that the task will be completed!" Deputy Director Jiang made the promise in a serious tone.

…………

Liu Zhiye rushed back to the Security Department of the Red Star Factory and found that Deputy Director Jiang was also on the scene in command.

He quickly reported the case to Deputy Director Jiang, and then stated his judgment: "According to my analysis, it is unlikely that Yang Xue absconded with the money. It is more likely that she was kidnapped or killed in a robbery."

When Deputy Factory Director Jiang heard this, he frowned slightly. He nodded, and after a moment's silence, he said, "So what is your suggestion?"

"I think we should contact the branch first, explain the situation, and ask them to assist in the investigation. At the same time, we also need to take relevant preventive measures within the factory to prevent Yang Xue's information from leaking out and causing panic in society." Liu Zhiye said seriously.

Deputy Director Jiang said decisively: "Just do as you say. Just let me know if you need any help." At this moment, Zhou Weiguo came back, sweating profusely.

Liu Zhiye quickly asked him: "Xiao Zhou, did you find anything?"

Zhou Weiguo picked up the teacup and drank several gulps of tea. He wiped his mouth and said, "Director Liu, the straight-line distance from our factory to the Beixinqiao Business Hall is only 5 miles. We checked both sides, but we didn't find any clues."

Liu Zhiye walked silently to the map of Beijing hanging on the wall, gesturing the distance between the Red Star Factory and the business hall of the Beixinqiao Bank. The map showed that the Red Star Factory was located outside Dongzhimen, and the bank was inside Dongzhimen, not far from each other. Three miles west along the map was the home of Yang Xue and Xu Dalong. It could be said that the three of them were in a straight line.

Liu Zhiye sorted out the course of events again. Yang Xue set out from the south gate of Red Star Factory at 8:30 in the morning. She arrived at the bank and withdrew the money at around 9 o'clock. After withdrawing the money, she left.

However, the security guards at the South Gate did not see Yang Xue return to the Red Star Factory, and her husband did not see her return home.

Combining this information, he could roughly infer that Yang Xue's disappearance time should be between 9 and 9:30. It could be even shorter, because whether it was going home or returning to the factory, it only took less than 10 minutes on a bicycle.

We can basically rule out the possibility that she absconded with the money. There is only one possibility for her to disappear in such a short period of time, that is, she was kidnapped or hijacked.

He stood in front of everyone and said calmly, "I think based on Yang Xue's personal situation and her family situation, she would not abscond with the money. The most likely outcome is that she was robbed, and the worst outcome is that she was killed.

And it is very likely that the crime was committed by an acquaintance.

Please imagine that in this bright and clear sky, there are wide roads all the way, shops are lined up on both sides, and pedestrians are coming and going.

In such an environment, if a stranger wanted to kidnap or rob Yang Xue, she would definitely be alert or resist, and it is impossible that no one would notice it. "

At this time, Lao Ge raised a surprising question: "Is it possible that Comrade Yang Xue chose to take the alley to return to the Red Star Factory and was kidnapped?"

After hearing this, Liu Zhiye shook his head slightly and denied it: "Look at the map. Taking the main road through Dongzhimen and then returning to Hongxing Factory is the most convenient route. If you choose to take any alley, you will take a long and winding route.

For ordinary people, such a choice is obviously unreasonable, not to mention that Comrade Yang Xue is a very regular person in life, which can be seen from the environment of her home.

Her life is well-organized and methodical, and she is definitely not the kind of person who does things on a whim or spontaneously. "

"She most likely had just walked out of the bank when she was approached by one or more people she knew.

The murderer was very familiar with her and knew that she would go to withdraw money that day and the route she would take. He also had enough reasons to make Yang Xue follow him (her), so she was kidnapped or held hostage without any witnesses.

"Moreover, this acquaintance lives very close to the bank, probably in a few alleys near the bank. If it's too far, Yang Xue wouldn't choose to go there with so much money."

Deputy Director Dong's eyes lit up as he listened, and Liu Zhiye's analysis made him agree deeply. The avenue in front of the bank was bright and spacious, and it was natural to go east along the avenue to the Red Star Factory.

However, why did Yang Xue deviate from the main road and choose to take the small road? There must be something that happened to her that forced her to take the small road. And the only person who could make her let down her guard and follow him with peace of mind was someone she knew well.

Deputy Director Jiang's eyes lit up and he saw hope. He turned to Liu Zhiye and said, "What you said makes sense. What do you want to do next?"

Liu Zhiye made a decisive decision and stopped fussing. He sent someone to find Xu Dalong, pointed at the map and said, "Comrade Xu Dalong, please see if there are any people you know nearby."

Xu Dalong scanned the circular area centered on the Beixinqiao Business Hall, his thoughts wandering in his mind. "Leader, here are Wei Laosan from Fuxue Hutong, who my husband and I know, Lao Li from Cangjiadao, the Gao brothers from Xintaicang Hutong, and people from Caoyuan Hutong..." He listed everyone's identity and position in detail.

Liu Zhiye immediately sent people to record the residences of these people, and the next step was to focus on searching them.

He glanced at his watch and found that it was already 12:35. More than three hours had passed. The golden rescue time is within 24 hours. The shorter the time, the greater the chance of survival for the rescued. It had been so long since Yang Xue's accident, and he felt even more depressed.

So Liu Zhiye made a quick decision. He picked up the phone without hesitation and dialed the Dongcheng District Public Security Management Brigade.
