Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 145 Checking Files

"Xiaotong, who is Ren Yunyun?"

After seeing Guo Quan off, Ren Yunyun happened to have to go back to the bureau to pack up her things and would not come to work officially until tomorrow, so Li Yancheng came to Su Xiaotong.

"She seems to be the niece of the late captain of the First Team of the Second Division. I also heard about it, but I'm not particularly clear about the details."

"The deceased captain of the first team?"

"Well, six years ago, during a mission, Captain Cao was killed while blocking a bullet for Director Hong. Captain Cao was not married at the time, nor did he have any children, and there was no one at home.

Director Hong didn't know where he got the information from, but he took great pains to find Captain Cao's only elder sister in Xianghe, and brought the elder sister's sixteen-year-old second daughter to attend a medical school. After graduation, she stayed in the clinic of the bureau.

What's wrong? Are you attracted to that girl? I'm telling you, it's too late. Ren Yunyun is already engaged. Her boyfriend works in the archives department of our bureau."

What do you mean you're attracted to that girl? Li Yancheng shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's just the two of us behind closed doors. Let me say something a little hurtful. I'm single now not because I can't find someone, but because I don't want to find someone. I'm not so desperate that I'll do anything."

Hmm? Su Xiaotong was stunned by the idiom "hungry and not choosing what to eat". It took him a long time to realize what this idiom meant. He glared at Li Yancheng unhappily.

"I never noticed it before. How can you, a comrade, still judge people by appearance?"

"I can't help it. I don't know her. All I can see at first sight is her appearance. Don't be so hypocritical to me.

Let me give you an example. Now there are two women sitting in front of you. One is Ren Yunyun, and the other is...like the nurse Liu Xiaoya before. Tell me, who do you like more?"

"Uh……"

How can one answer this? Everyone loves beauty, and we cannot allow people to speak against their conscience.

Ren Yunyun's looks are indeed ordinary, with a big face and short stature. Liu Xiaoya can't be said to be beautiful, but she is also very pretty. It is no exaggeration to say that the two of them are as different as heaven and earth when put together.

"Okay, kid, stop talking to me about this. Did you come to me because you don't want Ren Yunyun? I'm telling you, I can't make the decision on this matter."

Since he couldn't answer, he didn't answer. Su Xiaotong could only change the subject and ask Li Yancheng why he came.

"No"

Li Yancheng shook his head, reached out to pick up a cigarette from the desk and lit one for himself. After spitting out the cigarette in his mouth, he said hesitantly: "Actually, I can't explain it, it's just a feeling..."

He paused here, facing Su Xiaotong's puzzled gaze, and took several puffs of his cigarette before continuing.

"I just felt uncomfortable after seeing Ren Yunyun."

Seeing Su Xiaotong frowning and wanting to say something, he quickly waved his hand to signal.

"Don't get me wrong. When I said I felt uncomfortable, I didn't mean that the girl's appearance made me uncomfortable. No matter how much I judge people by their appearance, I would never do that. This is work, not a blind date. I'm not that superficial.

The discomfort I'm talking about is a feeling in my heart, and I can't really put it into words. Oh, I can't really explain it either. I wonder if you can understand me?"

Li Yancheng shook his head in annoyance, raised his hand and took several puffs of the cigarette.

Su Xiaotong, who was sitting behind the desk, slowly relaxed his frown. He probably understood what Li Yancheng wanted to say.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Yancheng, have you ever met anyone who gave you this feeling before?"

"Do you feel the same way?"

Li Yancheng, who had just taken a puff of cigarette, was slightly stunned. He recalled carefully, shook his head and said, "No, I can't remember encountering it before... Hmm?"

He stopped before he finished speaking, frowned slightly and continued to recall.

He was recalling a scene that happened just before he came here.

After sending Guo Quan away, he explained to Ren Yunyun the job responsibilities of the Operations Department's health room, then sent her out of the health room and watched her walk towards the gate.

Just as she was about to turn the corner, she turned her head and looked over, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised with a hint of a smile.

Li Yancheng saw the smile on her face at that time, but this smile on the girl's face did not make him feel any warmth, on the contrary, it made him feel a little creepy.

But this feeling can only be understood but not expressed in words, and he didn't know how to express it to Su Xiaotong for a moment.

After thinking for a long time, he could only shake his head: "Maybe it's because I have been under closed management for half a year, and my emotions haven't recovered yet, it's nothing."

Hearing him say this, Su Xiaotong frowned.

Before the closed management, his understanding of Li Yancheng could be said to be limited to the information he gained from the investigation. It was just a series of Chinese characters, and he did not have any particularly deep intuitive feelings.

But after spending half a year together, he didn't dare to say that he knew the man in front of him very well, but he also knew that Li Yancheng was definitely not the kind of person who spoke without thinking.

If you say you feel uncomfortable, then you definitely feel something is abnormal.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaotong didn't say anything, but just picked up the phone on the table and dialed.

The person on the other end quickly picked up the phone.

The quality of telephone calls nowadays is very poor. There is a lot of electrical noise and the sound of the receiver is also very loud, almost like talking on a speakerphone in later generations. Li Yancheng, who was sitting opposite, could hear it clearly.

"Hey"

"Xiang Ping, it's me, Su Xiaotong."

"Hey, Director Su, what's the wind like today? I can actually answer your call. No wonder I heard magpies calling on the treetops in my yard when I woke up this morning."

"Stop talking nonsense to me. Are you busy now? I need your help with something."

"Tell me what's the matter. If your Director Su calls personally, I will turn down all the requests even if I am busy."

"I want to check someone's information."

"Whose investigation? Which unit?"

"Ren Yunyun from our unit's health center."

"You... No, Director Su, you are using me as a cross, right? The information of people in your unit can be checked at will? Besides, your bureau's archives should have it, why do you have to check it from me?"

"It's inconvenient. I can only check it from you."

"What do you mean?"

"Stop talking nonsense and just tell me whether you can help me check it or not."

"Hey, is this your attitude of asking someone to do something for you? Why do I feel like you're the boss?"

The person on the other end of the phone sounded a little dissatisfied with Su Xiaotong's attitude, but after saying this, he immediately continued: "Xiaotong, you know the discipline. If you want me to help you check, of course there is no problem, but it must be signed by your director and our director.

Oh, I won’t talk to you anymore. I have something to go out for. I even forgot to take my keys when I left home this morning, and I didn’t even dare to lock the office door when I went out.”

After saying that, the person on the other end of the phone hung up.

Hearing the busy tone, Su Xiaotong put down the phone.

"Come on, come out with me."

Li Yancheng was a little dazed. Although he didn't know who Su Xiaotong called, could the place where all the files of the Social Affairs Bureau staff were kept be a place that anyone could go to casually?

What's more, why check Ren Yunyun's file?
Just because you said you didn't feel well? That's a bit exaggerated.

"Wait a minute, Xiaotong, why do you want to transfer Yunyun's file?"

"Why so many whys? Let's talk while walking. We are in a hurry."

"No, what on earth are you looking into her file for?"

"Didn't I tell you that I particularly believe in my intuition? After hearing what you said just now, I suddenly became interested in Ren Yunyun." Su Xiaotong had already taken down the coat hanging behind the office door and put it on. While speaking, he tilted his head to gesture outside.

!!!

Damn, what is this?
You have a shitty intuition.

What could Li Yancheng do? After all, people did this because of his words. He could not say anything except listening.

Only after getting in the car and driving out of the gate did he ask again: "Hey, Director Su, what are you trying to do? I just said that, and even I can't explain clearly what's going on. You want to check your own people's files, or secretly check from outside, this... this is not good, right?"

"It's nothing bad. She's going to work here, so what if I check her file?"

"I don't believe that you would check the files of every person who comes to work in the first office. Director Wang, have you checked it? Director Xu, have you checked it?" Li Yancheng said with disdain.

"Do you believe me if I tell you I checked?" Su Xiaotong turned his head and glanced at Li Yancheng who was sitting in the passenger seat, then turned back and looked forward seriously.

"Yancheng, I have carefully read the files of everyone in the cafeteria, including the kitchen helpers, and I can give a general idea of ​​them. Of course, this includes you." Hiss...

Su Xiaotong's words made Li Yancheng gasp. He was stunned for a long time before he turned his head and looked at him with admiration.

Is this something that ordinary people can do?
Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary people can't do it.

There are more than a hundred people in the whole department, not counting those who have been transferred to other departments. I can remember the files of all of them. This...

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Su Xiaotong moved a little uncomfortably because of being stared at.

"I'm looking at monsters."

"Go away. To put it bluntly, I am a suspicious person."

"No, no, no, I think you did a very good job. This is responsible."

"Haha, thank you!" Su Xiaotong smiled and was very happy.

He himself knew very well that he was very suspicious and was unwilling to trust anyone easily.

But once you believe it, you will trust it unconditionally.

For example, now he is taking Li Yancheng to check the files, which is absolutely against the rules. If it gets out, he will be punished, which is a small matter. The person who answered the phone just now will be in big trouble.

However, since that person could talk to Su Xiaotong like that on the phone, it seems that their identities and backgrounds are similar, so he probably doesn't care about being punished.

The guy who answered the phone was also smart. He deliberately said that he didn't take the key and didn't lock the office door. Wasn't he just opening a back door for Su Xiaotong?

……

The destination was in Yangchao District. Li Yancheng was not very familiar with the place and just knew the general idea. He saw Su Xiaotong driving the car around and around and arriving at a courtyard with a closed gate. Before the car stopped, the small door next to the courtyard gate was opened and a young man in his twenties walked out.

The young man was wearing a military uniform with three red dots and a five-six-and-a-half-pack backpack on his back.

Seeing him come out, Su Xiaotong opened the car window on his side with his left hand and stretched out his right hand in front of Li Yancheng.

"Work Permit"

"Which one?"

Each of them had two work permits, and Li Yancheng didn't know which one to take.

"From our bureau."

"Oh, here."

The young soldier outside had already walked to the side of the car. After seeing who was inside the car, he saluted.

"Deputy Director Su, please let me see your work ID."

"Zhijun, you are on duty today. Here, this is for both of us."

The young soldier named Zhijun smiled shyly, took the work ID and looked inside the car, then opened it and looked down at it.

After reading it, he walked to the back seat, opened the car door, took a quick look, then closed the door, walked back and handed back his work ID.

"Deputy Director Su, we are familiar with each other, but next time you come, please bring your letter of introduction with you, so that you can go through the main entrance."

"No problem, I'll definitely bring it next time." Su Xiaotong agreed quickly, but you can tell from his expression that this guy just says it casually, and he promises not to bring it next time.

The young soldier outside the car didn't care either, as if what he said was just a casual reminder, and neither of them took it seriously.

After giving the instructions, the young soldier turned around and walked towards the small gate again. Soon, the big iron gate was opened from the inside. The first thing that caught Li Yancheng's eyes was the three rows of chevaux de frise stakes behind the big iron gate. At this time, seven or eight soldiers were moving those chevaux de frise stakes.

It turns out this is not the main entrance. No wonder there is no sign at the door.

Hmm, that's not right. When Li Yancheng turned his head to look to the right, he realized that he hadn't noticed it just now. There was a sign over there with a message on it saying "Restricted area, no entry for unauthorized persons". There was also a line of letters below with the name of the unit that put up the sign and the date.

It made his eyelids twitch.

Where did this guy take him? This is definitely not a government agency. He was sure of that. Otherwise, the inspection would not be so simple, and the car would not be allowed to enter.

As the barricades inside were removed, Su Xiaotong stretched his hand out of the window and waved it twice, then stepped on the accelerator and drove in.

"Are you curious?"

He only spoke after the car drove in.

"Of course I'm curious. What unit is this?"

"When our bureau was still under the management of the army, the headquarters was located here. Later, when it was transferred to the local government, it moved to the west of the city and returned this place to the army.

This place is like an archive now, except that not just any archive can be put here."

The yard is not particularly big. After entering through the door just now and turning the corner, you will see a three-story Soviet-style building.

Their destination this time was this three-story building.

"Let's go, we're here."

Following behind and entering the building, Li Yancheng turned around and looked around with some curiosity.

There seemed to be no one in the three-story building. It was so quiet that it was a little scary. Only the sound of their footsteps echoed.

Because it is a double-sided building, there is no light in the corridor all day long, and the lights have to be turned on even in broad daylight.

The dim lighting, the quiet corridor, and the dead vines climbing up the walls outside the building, honestly, Li Yancheng feels that if a horror movie is shot here, the atmosphere will be maxed out.

There is no need for any background music, and we don't have to do it at night, just right now during the day. If you put anyone in this corridor and let him stand there quietly, he will probably be scared and run away in less than two minutes.

Following Su Xiaotong up to the second floor, the office directly opposite the stairs was the room they were going to.

The door was indeed not locked. Su Xiaotong walked over and pushed it open.

As the door was pushed open with a creaking sound, this sudden movement in such a quiet environment made Li Yancheng's little heart beat faster.

"Xiaotong, does your friend work alone in this building?"

"Who said he was the only one?" Su Xiaotong glanced at Li Yancheng behind him with some amusement.

"Did you see the room directly opposite the staircase when you came in just now?"

“Yes, it’s dark.”

"It's dark, right? There are at least three people in there, and there are at least three or five people in the room above our heads.

Okay, let's look at the information. This guy is pretty good. I have found it all for me."

Hadn't he found it? There was a brown paper file bag clearly placed on the desk. Su Xiaotong walked over and picked it up, opened it directly and poured out everything inside.

"Will it cause any trouble to your friend?"

"Don't worry. If there really was trouble, would he still leave the file here for me to see? That guy is very smart."

How thick can the file of a person in his early twenties be?
Li Yancheng, an ordinary citizen, didn’t know, but he felt that there shouldn’t be that many. After all, his resume was there, and he hadn’t been through much, so how many files could he have? But what about this one in front of him?

This was the first time he knew that the investigation could be so detailed.

It's so detailed that there are three different witnesses for every elementary school year. It seems that what they say about being able to find out how old you were when you wet the bed is true.

Su Xiaotong just glanced at the information about Ren Yunyun's childhood and put it aside. He mainly read the part after she came to Beijing.

Li Yancheng picked up the book that others were not reading and read it with relish.

It was the first time for him to look at someone else's file, especially one that had been investigated in detail.

Looking at others' files, he thought of his own. He didn't know what was in his file bag, and what it was like before he was adopted by his grandfather.

If you really want to find out the problem and see if there is anything unusual from the files, it is basically impossible.

Even if it is fake, others will definitely make it look very genuine. Moreover, if a piece of information can be stuffed into the file, then wouldn’t the person who faked it be very powerful?
Su Xiaotong couldn't see anything in the file. More than half an hour later, the two of them drove out of the yard where Li Yancheng didn't see anyone except the attendant at the door.

"I noticed that you have been frowning since you came out from there. Did you find something?"

On the way back, neither of them spoke. As they were almost at the office, Su Xiaotong finally couldn't resist his curiosity and asked.
