Chapter 136 Lots of doubts
How can you talk about it so fluently when there is nothing even remotely known about it?

Luo Ting, who was standing by, looked at this unreliable brother, rolled her eyes helplessly, and took a sip of the sour plum soup on the stone table in front of her.

Ok?
Her eyes lit up and she lowered the cup to take a look. It was sour and icy cold, and really delicious. No wonder that girl kept telling me yesterday that this was her favorite drink.

"Doctor Li, where did you buy this sour plum soup?"

"Chinese medicine store"

"Do Chinese medicine stores also sell sour plum soup?" Luo Ting's mind was full of question marks. There was a drugstore owned by a medicinal materials company right next to her house, but she had never heard of it.

"Xiaoting, don't listen to his nonsense. It was bought from the Chinese medicine store, but the prescription was written by him. After buying it from the Chinese medicine store, he had to boil it at home. We have it at home, too. It tastes better with some sugar. This guy is a miser. He was reluctant to put any sugar in it. The whole thing turned out to be sour.

Hey, hey, hey, Li Yancheng, I've been here for such a long time, where's the water and cigarettes you poured for me? Is this how you treat guests? I'm your future second uncle."

"Here's the cigarette."

Li Yancheng rolled his eyes and threw the cigarette in his pocket onto the table, then pointed to his house with his backhand: "Whatever you want to drink, go inside and pour it yourself. My legs hurt and I'm too lazy to move."

Speaking of leg pain, Luo Yang finally remembered another purpose of coming here today. He immediately changed his nonchalant attitude and asked with a slightly frowned brow: "Yancheng, how is your leg? I only found out from Xiaotong this morning that such a big thing happened to you last night."

"It's not a big deal. I knocked the guy over when he fired the gun. The bullet just grazed his thigh."

There were women at the scene, so he didn't want to point out the injured area, so he just gestured roughly.

It sounds easy, but in fact the bullet only grazed him by less than two centimeters. If the muzzle had been raised a little bit, he would definitely be in the hospital now.

Do you still want to get married by then? Haha, just think about it. Maybe he will even make a orchid finger gesture when he needs to use his hands to talk in the future.

"Do you know that guy from last night?" Glancing at Li Yancheng's thigh, Luo Yang didn't continue to ask about his injury. Being able to sit here meant that it was not a big problem, so he asked instead.

"I don't know him." Li Yancheng shook his head, picked up a cigarette on the table, threw it to him, and then lit it for himself.

"I've never seen this person before, and this is the first time I've heard his name. I can't figure out why he came to find me. Last night, after I went in and replaced Xiao Min, he told me that he had two purposes for looking for me. I only listened to the first one and then took action.

I don't know what the second purpose is, so I'll have to wait and see the results of Xiaotong's interrogation."

"Yancheng, I will take a train south with my mother and my wife the day after tomorrow. Since you are now in Xiaotong's unit, you will definitely encounter various dangers in the future. What can I say, you must take care of yourself."

"I know, thank you."

At this time, Luo Ting on the opposite side also spoke.

"Doctor Li, I don't know why you, a doctor, chose to work for Su Xiaotong. I won't advise you to continue to work as a doctor in the hospital. No matter what job you do, it's for the people, for the nation, and for our country."

"I just hope that if you really date my sister, you can think more about her. Xiao Min has a stubborn personality. Once she sets her mind on something, she will stick to it.

If you encounter any dangerous things at work in the future, I hope you can think more about it and remember that there is someone waiting for you. I believe that with my sister's character, she will always wait for you."

Li Yancheng smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "You two brothers have made a mistake. Although I do work in that unit now, my actual job position is still a doctor.

The possibility of encountering danger in future work is very small compared to the front-line investigators and those action team members.

What happened last night was just an exception, so... there's no need to worry too much.

But no matter what, I have received your kindness, and I will definitely pay attention to safety. I am not married yet, and I don’t have any children, so I certainly don’t want to reincarnate so early.”

"Clap"

Luo Yang didn't say anything. He raised his hand and patted Li Yancheng's arm, then stood up and walked towards the main house, apparently going to pour himself some water.

Luo Ting on the opposite side picked up the cup and took another sip, then nodded with great satisfaction.

"Doctor Li, could you please write me a copy of the recipe for sour plum soup later?"

"No problem. I'll write it to you before you leave."

"Uh..." Luo Ting suddenly thought of something and asked a little embarrassedly: "Could it be... Is this some secret of yours that you don't want to pass on?"

"It's not that exaggerated. Many Chinese medicine doctors know this prescription. I don't have any secret here." Li Yancheng smiled and waved his hand.

"Thank you then."

"You're welcome. Just like Luo Yang said, add some sugar after boiling it and chill it on ice. It will taste better. Children will definitely like it. It will cool down the body and help digestion."

"Forget about adding sugar. My family can't get that many sugar coupons. I think this sour taste is quite good."

Li Yancheng raised his eyebrows. The eldest daughter of the Luo family really lives the life of an ordinary person.

Then he thought again that maybe she was more concerned about her man's face. If she took everything from her parents' home and asked them for help, her life would be better, but her husband would definitely feel lost.

What's more, the lives of working couples are not much worse.

As he was speaking, Luo Yang came out with a cup of sour plum soup and took down the wooden sign hanging on the pillar at the door.

"Yancheng, I'll take this sign. When I leave Jing City, if you continue to hang this sign, it may bring you trouble. You don't need it now."

"Well, just take it. I told you to pick it later."

He really doesn't need this brand now. Generally speaking, no one will take the initiative to provoke him.

……

While Li Yancheng was chatting with the siblings Luo Yang and Luo Ting, the first interrogation of the suspects who were captured, especially the two heavyweight suspects, Sun Yide and Qi Jilin, had already come to a halftime break.

Surprisingly smooth.

It can be said that the two answered whatever they asked without any resistance, as if they had given up completely and just wanted to die quickly.

Xu Guishan and Su Xiaotong were responsible for one of the two men respectively. After coming out of the interrogation room, the two men quickly nodded to each other.

They took a look at each other's interrogation records.

Normally, they should be very happy since it went so smoothly, but there was no joy on the faces of these two people. Instead, they both had frowns on their brows.

It is said that when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. This is what they suspect now.

"Director, why do I feel something is wrong?" After taking a quick look at Xu Guishan's interrogation record of Sun Yide and closing the record book, Su Xiaotong lit a cigarette for himself and said with a serious expression.

"I feel something is wrong too." Lao Xu also closed the notebook in his hand and raised his hand to pinch his nose.

"They are both doomed, there is no doubt about that. But Chief Su, let's be frank here today. Do you think that they can win over and corrupt so many people? They are from almost every industry."

Without waiting for Su Xiaotong to say anything, Lao Xu asked himself and answered, "Anyway, I personally think that this is not something that the two of them can do.

I'm not very clear about the specific situation of Qi Jilin on your side. Take Sun Yide for example. Yes, he is now the director of Dianhai, but he only became the director after leaving the No. 1 Thermal Power Plant at the beginning of last year.

How could he have had the ability to arrange work for those people outside when he was working at the thermal power plant?

How could he win over those people whose positions were no lower than his? According to investigation data, many of these people had no intersection with him in life or work. How did he get to know these people?

I personally think that there should be one or even several important figures in their organization who have not been exposed, and the reason why these people confessed so readily after being arrested is that they were covering for the rest of the people and wanted us to close the case quickly.

Then those people can take advantage of our relaxed vigilance to cause damage.

As for their target, I think it has not changed, it is still the Instrument Factory, which means that among the remaining members of this organization who have not been exposed, there is at least one person who should be able to easily contact the Instrument Factory, or even an insider of the Instrument Factory. "

After listening to Lao Xu's analysis, Su Xiaotong squinted his eyes and took a few puffs of cigarette before slowly nodding his head: "Director, what you said is almost the same as what I thought, the only difference is the last point you said.

I think the people who haven't been exposed are not inside the instrument factory, but outside, but there must be someone among them who can easily contact the people inside." "Oh? Tell me why you think so."

"Director, you may not know that the person in charge of the mission we caught last time was the one who was shot in the head."

"Yes, I know this person. In the end, it was Yan Cheng who helped him confess something before he died. That's why our case was not completely disconnected at that time."

"Yes, it's him." Su Xiaotong nodded, raised his hand and took another puff of cigarette.

“Although catching him was a matter of chance, it also allowed us to focus our attention on the interior of the instrument factory. The security work of the factory has now been taken over by the Security Department of the Bureau.

These days, all the people were screened twice, like a sieve. Anyone who was found to have the slightest suspicion was transferred out of the instrument factory first, and then the investigation continued.

I think there should be no problem inside the instrument factory now. The biggest possibility is still outside. The focus should be on those who can contact the instrument factory at any time. "

"Chief Su, do you think the Security Department will..."

"I dare not say this, but I feel that if there is a problem with someone in the security department, we would not be sitting here now. It is more likely that they should have succeeded."

Su Xiaotong's words made Lao Xu's breathing pause, and then he smiled and shook his head. He was really worrying too much. How could he not understand such a simple truth?

"I was wrong. By the way, Chief Su, did Qi Jilin explain why he risked his life to look for Li Yancheng last night?"

"I asked about this." When Su Xiaotong mentioned this, his expression became serious.

“This is also an important reason why I suspect that there are still people in their organization who have not been exposed.

The reason why he went to find Yan Cheng was that he wanted to ask Yan Cheng in person how he worked out the antidote for their poison. He wanted to know if anyone else knew this antidote. Qi Jilin's ultimate goal was to die together with Yan Cheng.

In addition, I think that whether to shoot or detonate explosives should be their final method of sending a signal, and these two methods should represent two different meanings. "

Su Xiaotong paused and shook his head slowly: "Director, the last sentence is just my personal intuition and guess, not Qi Jilin's instructions, you don't have to consider it."

"No, evidence is important, but the flashes of inspiration that our investigators sometimes have are more important. I am now considering whether I should let Yan Cheng practice his special interrogation method on Sun Yide and Qi Jilin again."

"Yan Cheng told me that his method doesn't work on everyone. For some people who already have strong beliefs or have received special training, his method may be difficult to work on.

Director, think about it, Sun Yide and Qi Jilin are not afraid of death for their mission. To be honest, although they are in different camps, I really admire them a little bit. "

Lao Xu remained silent. The behavior of those two people did make him feel a little uneasy.

If...if that organization is full of people who are willing to disregard their own life and death and complete the so-called mission at any cost, their work will really be very difficult.

Of course, we can deploy some defensive measures in advance, but the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. A thief can only steal for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days. Over time, everyone will be careless.

And this is often the time when the enemy takes action.

Alas, I still have to do the work I am supposed to do well.

"Let's go, Chief Su. Continue the interrogation. Whether they have ulterior motives or not, let them go through the necessary procedures. Since we already have some suspicions, let's see how they are going to play this game."

"it is good"

……

On Saturday afternoon, Li Yancheng went to the First Hospital to collect his salary for this month.

Because his technical level has been improved, the salary he received this month is 91 yuan, which is a huge sum of money.

The only thing that made him unhappy was that his was not included in the welfare benefits distributed by the hospital, such as summer cooling products and labor protection supplies.

The reason is that he is now studying and not working. This has always been the hospital's practice.

He was almost pissed off.

It’s not that he was interested in the mung beans and brown sugar, but also a towel, a bar of soap and a few pairs of glove.

Okay, okay, he is indeed rare.

Now that he is not being sent any more, he is really annoyed.

If they don't send it to him either, then he will be at a great disadvantage, right?
Cooling products are only issued once a year, but labor insurance is issued every quarter. If you don’t have it on either side, you will really lose a lot of money.

With this question in mind, he rushed to the office for consultation as soon as he arrived at the company on Monday morning.

After asking, I found out that their unit didn't have any cooling products at all. They did have labor insurance, but it was only issued once a year. When asked the reason, it was that the unit had no money. It couldn't be compared with hospitals and factories.

Li Yancheng then realized why people nowadays like to work in enterprises rather than government agencies and institutions.

This situation continued until the end of the 1980s, when enterprise reform began and the trend was reversed.

Because only then did everyone realize that companies can go bankrupt and that the iron rice bowl in everyone's hands can be broken.

It was also at this time that everyone realized that working in an administrative or public institution was the only way to ensure a stable income.

It was at this time that people's thinking began to change. Originally, everyone wanted to work in enterprises because of the good benefits, but now everyone wants to work in government agencies and public institutions, which are the real iron rice bowls.

The reason why the department doesn’t distribute those things now is because it really has no money.

Every penny of their unit is a fiscal allocation, and the amount of fiscal allocation is budgeted at the beginning of each year.

If you don't spend money according to the budget, you will create a big hole that cannot be filled without additional income.

During the holidays, the company has to find a way to deduct some money to give everyone holiday benefits. This money is saved penny by penny. When there is no money, the leaders actually don't live as comfortably as ordinary clerks and clerks.

The reason why the financial department is so popular is because all the financial funds are under their control.

It's true that the funding budget has been prepared and it's also true that it should be allocated on a monthly basis, but there is no regulation on whether it should be allocated on the 1st or the 10th. The unit already has no money and is waiting for the money to be allocated. If it is held back for a few more days, the leader will be so anxious that he will cut his neck.

Not to mention that the financial system, the God of Wealth, still has a lot of extra-budgetary funds in its hands for emergencies.

Li Yancheng, who had been muttering all the way that he had suffered a great loss, had just entered the health room and had not yet sat down when Comrade Lao Xu followed in behind him.

"Yancheng, how is your leg injury recovering?"

"It's not a big problem."

"That's fine. When you came over just now, I heard you mumbling to yourself. What were you mumbling about?"

"Uh……"

Was he discovered by his leader?

Li Yancheng smiled and explained, "I was complaining that our company is too poor. Not only do we not provide cooling products, but we only provide labor insurance once a year."

"There's really nothing we can do about this. Our unit can't really compare to your old hospital in this regard. Let's not talk about this anymore."

Lao Xu waved his hand: "Yancheng, do you know why Qi Jilin risked his life to come to you that day?"

"I don't know. I was planning to ask about it today." Li Yancheng shook his head in confusion. He had been thinking about this question for two days but still had no clue.

"He is just interested in your ability to cure their poison. He wants to find you to find out the reason and also wants to know if there is anyone else who can cure their poison."

"what?"
