Chapter 188 No Procrastination

March 30th, Sunday.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Li Yancheng arrived at the unit at the last minute with a resentful look on his face.

After greeting the attendant on duty in the duty room, he suddenly realized that he was completely sick. Today was overtime, not a normal work day. Who cares whether you arrive before 8 o'clock or are late at 8:01?

As soon as I walked into the yard, I saw Su Xiaotong squatting at the door of the cafeteria with a pair of big dark circles under his eyes, drinking from a bowl in his hand.

"Xiaotong, you didn't sleep last night again?"

"I didn't sleep well. I spent the whole night looking through files. Did Lao Xu ask you to come here today?"

"Yes, he asked me to come over and work overtime today to help you guys later."

"That's perfect. Come with me to the Municipal Women's Federation to check the files later."

"Brother, it's the weekend today, everyone is resting, right?"

"It doesn't matter what day it is. I'll call their director later. This file must be checked today."

"Domineering!" What else could Li Yancheng say but to give a thumbs up.

"Didn't you check the files all night last night? What else do you want to check today?"

“Sun He and I checked in Qingyan Prison last night, which is different from today’s.

Let me tell you, Yan Cheng, I got some information from my uncle and went to meet someone yesterday, and I gained a lot.

I believe that our case will soon be completely solved."

Although he looked very tired because he had been up all night without rest, Su Xiaotong's expression immediately became excited when this was mentioned. It can be seen that this time he should have made a breakthrough.

"What's the catch?"

"Let's not talk about my gains first. Let's talk about yours. You went to the bureau with the director yesterday to ask Director Hong. What did you gain?"

"The harvest is not great." Li Yancheng shook his head. "The nature of Director Hong's previous work meant that they could not just pry into other people's affairs. However, he did say that the two people who inherited the code name of Stone that he was responsible for cleaning up seemed to be there to make up the numbers, and they did not seem to have received any training at all."

"Swish"

Li Yancheng's words made Su Xiaotong's eyes light up suddenly.

He didn't even bother to eat. He just put the bowl in his hand on the ground beside him, stood up and clapped his hands excitedly.

"That's it! That's right, I bumped into him."

"What happened?" Li Yancheng asked in confusion.

Su Xiaotong stretched out his hand to take out a cigarette from his pocket, but it was empty. He then remembered that when he was checking the files last night, his whole pack of cigarettes had been finished.

Seeing that he reached into his pocket but came out empty-handed, Li Yancheng knew what was going on and quickly took out his cigarette and threw it to him.

"Here, keep this bag. I have more here."

Taking the cigarette, Su Xiaotong popped one out of the box and lit it while speaking.

"I took Sun He to meet a man last night. This man was quite popular in Beijing's underground society before liberation. He was engaged in low-class business and lived on women. His shop was a distribution center for information.

He told me that the code name Stone was used by four people in total, and the last two were used just to help someone gain merit. Those two people had never received any training and were completely powerless. "

"Oh... Doesn't that mean we just need to find out whether the credit for those two missions back then went to Li Xueyi?"

It really happened.

The statements from both sides can corroborate each other, which is much more useful than Pan Youzhi's suicide note.

but……

"But why did the suicide note say that there were only three Stones?"

"It's very simple. Many people don't know about the first term, because the first term's job is to turn the knife inward, and is responsible for cleaning up those who have run away to Xiaozi to sell out their master for fame and fortune."

"So that's it!" Li Yancheng suddenly realized.

This really requires absolute confidentiality, otherwise this person will definitely not live long and will be killed early by his own people.

"What turns out to be that?"

At this time, Lao Xu also came down from his office on the second floor. He just heard what happened and asked curiously.

Seeing him, Li Yancheng rolled his eyes at him in annoyance and said, "I should be there at 8 o'clock, but you slept until almost 8:30."

Unfortunately, he was winking at the blind man, and Lao Xu didn't pay any attention to him. Instead, he walked straight to Su Xiaotong and continued to ask what he had just talked about.

Su Xiaotong recounted in detail the information he had gained from his inquiry into Zhang Dajiang last night.

"So, if the Yu Kexun he mentioned is still alive, he should be in Qin'an City now?"

“Yes, according to the records in the archives, after the amnesty in the tenth year after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, most of them were sent back to their place of origin.

I plan to report to Director Zhong later and ask him to contact Qin Province to help find this person. After finding him, ask him who replaced him that year to see if he still remembers it. "

"Okay," Lao Xu nodded, "Then why are you looking for that woman?"

"I always feel that even though Pan Youzhi left us a suicide note before he died, he is still a little dishonest."

Lao Xu hesitated for a moment and then said, "Xiaotong, I have no objection to you finding that female comrade to understand Pan Youzhi, but you have to be careful about the method.

After all, this female comrade has an ignominious past, and she should have returned to the life of an ordinary citizen now. If you find her file and come to her house to look for her, it may have a negative impact on her future life."

"Director, I have also considered what you said. My idea is to go to the Women's Federation to check the files first. If I can find it, I plan to ask the comrades of the Women's Federation to help me make an appointment with her. This should minimize the impact."

"Well, this method is fine. We will investigate the case as it comes. Unless we can prove that the other party is a criminal, we should try not to affect other people's normal lives. We must remember that the root of the tongue can crush people to death."

"Yes"

"Sincerity"

"arrive"

"You can run with Su Chu today."

"Yes"

"Xiaotong, I'm going to use the Investigation Division and the Action Team today. Let Yancheng follow you today."

"No problem, just someone can help me."

"Do you want to eat your meal?" Old Xu raised his hand and pointed at the bowl that Su Xiaotong had just put on the ground.

"I'm full, Yancheng, have you had breakfast? If not, go and have a bite. I'm going to contact the Women's Federation, and we'll leave after that."

"I've had breakfast this morning and can leave any time."

"Okay, wait for me." After saying that, Su Xiaotong turned around, picked up his bowl and walked into the cafeteria.

Lao Xu walked up to Li Yancheng and gave him a cigarette.

"Yancheng, you have a better relationship with Xiaotong, so try to keep an eye on him. I'm worried that he will do whatever it takes to solve the case, and let the investigation department and other members of the action team follow him. I may not be able to persuade him at the critical moment."

"clear"

……

At the same time, Cai Shaocheng, a researcher at the instrument factory who is engaged in the research and development of special projects, contacted the child's grandparents yesterday afternoon and asked them to pick up his daughter yesterday afternoon.

Taking advantage of the fact that he had nothing to do in the morning, he ran to the dormitory area of ​​their factory's employee hospital and came to find Yu Xinmei who lived there. He intended to make things clear with her so as not to delay her.

Today is Sunday and she doesn't have to go to work. Yu Xinmei, who was sleeping in her room, was woken up by someone knocking on the door. She looked very depressed.

She was on night shift the night before, and last night Song Yongan dragged her into sex until after three in the morning before she went to bed. She had only slept for about four hours, and was just about to be woken up when she was sleepy. If she hadn't heard the person knocking on the door saying that Cai Shaocheng was looking for her outside the dormitory area, she would have been ready to pick up a pillow and smash the door.

Well, she could only curse Song Yongan in her heart while reluctantly pulling the clothes over and putting them on. Cai Shaocheng should be thankful for the age when women didn't wear makeup, otherwise he would have to wait for at least an hour if he came here so suddenly.

It only took Yu Xinmei a dozen minutes to put on her clothes and wash up before appearing in front of Cai Shaocheng.

The reluctance on his face just now had been replaced by a full smile, but his eyes, which were still full of spring due to the fierce battle last night, and the faint dark circles under his eyes were telling something.

Unfortunately, Cai Shaocheng, who was dull and honest, failed to understand the meaning.

But it didn't matter, because he had no intention of doing anything with the woman in front of him, so the green prairie would not fall on his head.

"Shaocheng, aren't you busy today?"

The two have known each other for half a year, and today was the first time that Cai Shaocheng took the initiative to come to see her. Yu Xinmei thought that this stupid guy had finally come to her senses, and she seemed very excited.

This very intimate name made Cai Shaocheng feel very uncomfortable, and he frowned unconsciously.

He doesn't know how to speak in euphemistic terms. In his mind, the way to do things is to be straightforward and say what you think.

So, when Yu Xinmei came over, he said very straightforwardly: "Comrade Yu Xinmei, I came to you today to tell you that I don't think we are suitable. I can't forget the mother of my child, and I am very busy with my work now. I don't have the mind to date anyone.

I am really sorry for delaying you for so long. I hope you can forgive me and I hope you can find a better partner. "

After saying this, he didn't know whether he was embarrassed to face Yu Xinmei or simply thought that after he said this, the matter was over.

Anyway, he didn't even give the other person time to react, he just turned around and left, leaving Yu Xinmei standing alone in the wind, looking disheveled.

Although Yu Xinmei looked energetic, her brain was actually still sleepy and as confused as a pot of porridge.

After hearing Cai Shaocheng's words, before she could react to what was going on, she saw the man turned around and left.

Only then did she finally wake up.

"Cai Shaocheng, stop right there."

After calling Cai Shaocheng, Yu Xinmei angrily walked up to him and asked, "What did you mean by that?"

"me"

Not to mention, Yu Xinmei, with her face full of anger, actually intimidated the honest Cai Shaocheng.

It took me a long time to make my words clear.

"Comrade Yu Xinmei, I really can't forget the mother of my child, and I am not at all ready to live with a woman who is not the mother of my child.

I'm really sorry for delaying you for so long. If you feel uncomfortable, you can scold me a few times. I promise not to say anything back. "

The two of them were at the main entrance to the dormitory area of ​​the instrument factory. There were many people coming in and out. Just now, when Yu Xinmei angrily called out to Cai Shaocheng, the noise was so loud that it attracted the attention of many people.

In order to avoid being laughed at by others, Yu Xinmei could only take a few deep breaths and suppress the anger in her heart.

Since she boarded Song Yongan's pirate ship, she has used her gender advantage and a few tricks to successfully complete several tasks in the past two years.

The targets of those missions were all married men, but they were still bewitched by her seductive eyes.

Her previous success made her think that all men were trash and she could achieve her goals just by beckoning with her little finger, without even having to play those fairy fighting games with them.

But unexpectedly, she would run into a tough opponent this time.

She took the initiative for half a year, and in the end this is what she got?

How could this not make her furious? More like annoyed and humiliated.

Because she had promised Song Yongan last night that she would take down Cai Shaocheng, but reality slapped her in the face within twelve hours.

After suppressing the anger in her chest, Yu Xinmei's expression changed to a friendly one. This time she didn't call him so intimately, and her address became more formal.

"Comrade Cai Shaocheng, although we are from the same unit, we didn't know each other before. This time we met through Sister Dong from our medical office. So we have known each other for half a year.

You've been very busy with work over the past six months, and we haven't had time to get to know each other properly. Why do you think we're not suitable for each other so arbitrarily? "

"No, no, no, Comrade Yu Xinmei, it's not about whether it's appropriate or not right now. I just found that I simply can't accept being with a woman other than the mother of my child."

Cai Shaocheng's logic was very clear and he did not agree with Yu Xinmei's opinion.

"Since you can't accept being with another woman, why did you agree to meet me, Sister Dong? What's the point of these six months? Everyone in our hospital knows that you and I are dating. How will others see me now?"

"Uh... Comrade Yu Xinmei, today is Sunday, and everyone except those on duty in the administrative department will not be at work until tomorrow.

Tomorrow I will take the initiative to go to the factory office and your medical office and explain to them clearly that we are not together because our personalities are really incompatible. What do you think?"

I……

Yu Xinmei almost couldn't hold back from swearing.

She really didn't expect that this man's train of thought would be so bizarre.

But it is indeed the best way to solve this problem, cutting the Gordian knot without any delay.

The key point is that she didn't dare to make a big deal out of it. The man in front of her was a researcher from a special project team. If things got too serious, not to mention the factory security department, the people stationed in the factory by the Social Affairs Bureau would definitely intervene.

She didn't want to come into those people's sight.

"Humph……"

So, her final reaction could only be to snort angrily and then turn and leave.

Cai Shaocheng did not leave this time. He stood there and lit a cigarette for himself, watching Yu Xinmei's back disappear around the corner of the dormitory gate, then turned and walked towards the workshop where he usually worked.

Yu Xinmei's reaction reminded him that this matter must be resolved thoroughly. He didn't want to be visited by others every now and then in the future.

So how can we solve this problem completely?
It's simple. Just report it to the people in the Security Department of the Social Affairs Bureau. The leaders have told these researchers that if they have any personal matters that are difficult to handle during work, they can report them to the staff of the Security Department of the Social Affairs Bureau, and they will help solve the problems.

Yu Xinmei had planned everything but she had never expected that Cai Shaocheng was the kind of person who was most afraid of trouble.

In order to work better without being disturbed, he would temporarily let his daughter be taken care of by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, not to mention that she was just an ordinary colleague to him.

He would never let those messy things waste his time.

For someone like him, the simpler the solution to a problem, the better.

It is too troublesome to go to the factory office because I have acquaintances there and I am bound to be teased. But it is different if I report to the staff of the Social Affairs Bureau. They will not ask any more questions.

……

On the other side, Su Xiaotong and Li Yancheng had a very smooth mission today. No matter how reluctant the staff of the Women's Federation were, they didn't dare to say no when faced with the people from the Social Affairs Bureau coming to check their files.

The archives established at that time were relatively complete, not just for show. The records were very detailed, and the whereabouts of those women after they completed their labor reform were also recorded very clearly.

The Chunxi that Zhang Dajiang mentioned, whom they were looking for, was 42 years old this year and his full name was Chen Jufang.

After she was released, she attended night school for three years under the arrangement of the Women's Federation, and was recruited to work in a bed sheet factory in Taifeng District. She is now married.

Her husband is five years older than her. He had two children when he married her. The eldest is a daughter who is now nineteen years old, and the second is a son who is sixteen years old this year.

She was physically injured because of her past experience and was unable to get pregnant or have children. According to staff from the Women's Federation, the family of four is now living a relatively good life.

Even though more than ten years have passed, people like Chen Jufang are still key focus groups on the Women's Federation's registration list, and are visited once a year.

To be honest, people's work attitude and enthusiasm these days are indeed much more serious and responsible than they were decades later.

"Director Su, it's not that I don't want to cooperate, but your request may have a great impact on Chen Jufang's family life."

When the section chief who was responsible for cooperating with the file search heard Su Xiaotong say that he wanted to meet Chen Jufang and ask her about some past events, he frowned and was very resistant.

"That's why I asked Chief Zhou to help arrange an appointment with her instead of visiting her directly."

Seeing that Section Chief Zhou was still reluctant, Su Xiaotong frowned.

"Chief Zhou, let me put it this way. Our case is very important. As someone who knew about what happened back then, we must meet Chen Jufang in person. We can't just let it go just because you disagree."
