Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 267 Conversation
Professor Zhang thought he saw through this student and felt that he was clever in some small ways, but also quite smart.

But no matter what, it definitely wasn't for that kind of thing.

"Baolai, the police from the Social Affairs Bureau want to question you. You are the mother and son, especially your nephew Guan..."

"Guan Weizheng"

"Yes, you are Guan Wei's only living relative."

"Of course...uh..." Xue Baolai was just about to say of course, when he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with what the teacher had just said.

"Teacher, do you mean that the police from the Social Affairs Bureau are going to question me now?"

"Yes, the people have arrived." Professor Zhang nodded.

"Have the police comrades from the Beijing Social Affairs Bureau arrived?"

Xue Baolai was startled and blinked several times unconsciously.

He had only just arrived in the afternoon, and those people should have left later than him, so how come they ran faster than him?

No wonder the teacher knows so much.

"Of course they are not from Beijing. They are local comrades from Su Province. The Beijing Social Affairs Bureau has entrusted them to talk to you."

call……

Upon hearing that it was the local Social Affairs Bureau, Xue Baolai breathed a sigh of relief and stood up holding the armrest of the sofa.

"Teacher, I am always available to answer their questions."

"Okay." Professor Zhang nodded, stood up, pointed to the door and said, "Let's go. They are waiting in the conference room at the top of this floor."

It was Director Zhong who thought of asking people from the Su Provincial Bureau to come and question Xue Bao first after he decided to send someone over.

The purpose was to calm this guy down. He was worried that what would happen if Xue Baolai suddenly had some crazy thoughts and ran away again.

If they really let him get away, they will never be able to close this case. Not only that, the higher-ups will definitely hold them accountable.

By then, there will surely be many people who will rush over and try to take advantage of their misfortune.

Based on this, after deciding to send people to carry out a secret arrest, he discussed several issues with Lao Xu and others, and then immediately entrusted the Su Provincial Bureau to come and talk to Xue Bao who had just arrived through phone and telegram.

In fact, if he had not left Beijing yesterday, Su Xiaotong and the others would have looked through his information this morning and would have talked to him after learning about his relationship with the mother and son of the Guan family.

After bringing Xue Baolai to the conference room, Professor Zhang returned to his room first.

He lit a cigarette for himself.

Professor Zhang does not smoke often. He may not finish a pack of cigarettes in a week. He only lights a cigarette when he encounters some difficulties.

Now he was faced with a problem.

This difficult problem was brought to him by his student Xue Baolai.

If he had known that this student had such a big problem, he would definitely not have transferred him here.

In the afternoon, when Xue Baolai was still processing formalities at the institute, someone from the Su Provincial Social Affairs Bureau contacted him through the institute.

Both the Beijing Municipal Social Affairs Bureau and the Jiangsu Provincial Social Affairs Bureau have great admiration for Professor Zhang and express absolute trust in him.

If these old scientists had other ideas, they would not have come back at all.

Therefore, when Director Zhong contacted the Jiangsu Province, he specifically entrusted them to give a brief account of the case that occurred in the instrument factory project team.

This is also the reason why Professor Zhang was so confident when he told Xue Bao that there was something wrong with the mother and son of the Guan family.

He originally trusted this student very much, otherwise he would not have personally transferred him to be his assistant.

Even though he had met the comrades from the Su Provincial Social Affairs Bureau before and had a certain understanding of the case, he still trusted them very much.

Including when Xue Bao came over and talked about the mother and son of the Guan family just now, he also trusted this student.

But just now, the trust in his heart suddenly broke.

Just now when he said that the public security comrades from the Social Affairs Bureau wanted to question you, everything seemed normal, but Xue Baolai's small action at that time made Professor Zhang's heart instantly sank.

When he said that, Xue Baolai's expression was normal, but his eyes suddenly blinked several times, and this scene happened to be seen by Professor Zhang.

The two have known each other for twenty years, and Xue Baolai has been working as Professor Zhang's assistant for more than ten years in total.

Professor Zhang knows this student very well, including some of his little actions.

It is clear that when this student does something wrong or tells a lie, he will blink several times. This is a subconscious action and he cannot control it.

It was his blinking action just now that made Professor Zhang suddenly realize that something was wrong.

This student was lying or he was afraid. He was not as willing to be questioned by the Social Affairs Bureau as he said.

He didn't want to see the Social Affairs Bureau.

why?
Why should he be afraid?
The comrades from the Social Affairs Bureau came to him just to find out about the situation of the Guan family mother and son, which would not have any impact on him, so why didn't he want to meet the people from the Social Affairs Bureau?

Although the Social Affairs Bureau is a law enforcement agency, unlike the Public Security Bureau, ordinary people may never deal with this unit in their entire lives, and most people don’t even know where the office of this unit is located.

It is said that if you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.

Why is his student afraid?
Standing in front of the window, Professor Zhang frowned tightly.

Could it be that he knew something or was it something more serious?
In the conference room at the other end of the floor, the questioning had already begun.

The comrades from the Su Province Social Affairs Bureau did not know much about the case. All the questions they wanted to ask were sent to them via telegram from Beijing, and they only had to read out the answers.

In their view, since the person has come to them and they are authorized to conduct the conversation, and they are not authorized to monitor or take other further actions against this person, it means that there is nothing wrong with this person and it is just a crime committed by his relatives.

"Comrade Xue Baolai, I am Zhang Qingcai, deputy director of the Investigation Division of the Jiangsu Provincial Social Affairs Bureau. This is my work ID. These two are investigators from our Investigation Division.

We are entrusted by the Beijing Municipal Social Affairs Bureau to verify some matters concerning Guan Xiaofeng and Guan Weizheng with you. We hope you can cooperate."

After taking the deputy director's work permit and looking at it, Xue Baolai returned it to him while nodding and saying, "Any questions you ask, I will definitely cooperate."

"Okay, thank you first for your support for our work."

After taking back his work permit, Deputy Director Zhang looked down at the piece of letter paper filled with questions in his hand.

"Comrade Xue Baolai, please first introduce the relationship between you, Guan Xiaofeng and Guan Weizheng."

"In terms of blood relationship, Guan Wei is my nephew. As for Guan Xiaofeng, after my brother died, I have no relationship with her. If I have to say a relationship, she is my nephew's mother."

The husband recorded in Xue Baolai and Guan Xiaofeng's files, who had been married before liberation, was actually their biological brother. However, he was given away by his biological parents shortly after he was born because of family financial difficulties.

It was not until he was a teenager that he learned that he had a biological family and that they lived not far away. Only then did he get in touch with his biological family. At that time, both his biological parents had passed away, so he often visited his only blood-related brother.

Later, his brother died of illness, and he would occasionally help Guan Xiaofeng. Later, when Guan Weizhen fell ill and had brain damage, he also helped contact the hospital for treatment.

It’s just that in order to avoid suspicion, the two sides don’t have close contact, otherwise everyone would not be unaware of the relationship between them.

Some of the above are shown in his files, and some are dictated by him.

He was not mentioned in Guan Xiaofeng's file simply because the two parties really had no relationship.

"Comrade Xue Baolai, when you left Beijing yesterday, did you know that Guan Xiaofeng and Guan Weizheng were in trouble?"

"Know"

"When did you know that?"

"It was around nine in the morning. I was at the research institute getting a letter of introduction. After leaving the institute, I went to the Science and Technology Commission, and then to the train station."

"You knew something was wrong at the research institute, why didn't you ask about it?"

"To be honest, everyone said they committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and I was afraid that I would get into trouble."

"So what did you say when the Science and Technology Commission issued the letter of introduction?"

"Uh..." Xue Baolai was a little embarrassed when he heard the deputy director ask this. He raised his hand and scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "You even know this. At that time, I complained to the staff in the office who issued me the letter of introduction."

"Please repeat what you said at that time."

"I said Guan Xiaofeng is a woman..."

Xue Baolai did not hide anything and told Zheng Haiyang everything he had said. As Guan Weizheng's uncle, it was wrong for him to say such baseless things, but the problem was not particularly serious.

"Comrade Xue Baolai, do you usually interact with Guan Xiaofeng?" "No, we hardly interact. She is at my age, and she is a widow. If I get too close to her, there will definitely be a lot of rumors, which will be bad for both her and me. I also have a family, and I have to consider what my wife thinks."

"Then why do you have the key to your house?"

Dong Dong... Dong Dong...

Deputy Director Zhang's next words made Xue Baolai's heart beat violently.

He couldn't understand why the people from the Social Affairs Bureau knew that he had the key to his house. He had only used that key two or three times in total, and he was extremely careful each time. Logically, no one should know about it.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, he nodded and said, "Yes, I do have the key to her house. The house she lives in was borrowed from Director Fan of the Instrument Factory.

The house was originally borrowed to make it easier for her to take care of the children. After the project is completed, she will move back to the research institute's staff quarters and the house will be returned to Director Fan.

The reason I have her key is that when she was moving, the person I found for her gave me the key after the move. I originally wanted to give it to her, but she asked me to keep it first, saying that if she and the child lost the key, I could still use this one.

I used that key a few times later, but each time I went there, it was when she was not at home because she was working overtime, so I could go and see my nephew."

He knew very well that the fact that the Social Affairs Bureau asked this question meant that someone must have seen him use the key to open and close the door, so he simply told them the fact that he had used that key.

"Don't you know that your nephew Guan Weizheng has been playing dumb all along?"

"Director Zhang, I want to correct what you said."

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Deputy Director Zhang was a little curious about what Xue Baolai wanted to correct him.

"Director Zhang, my nephew is not a fool. He just had his brain damaged. He is in his twenties but has the intelligence of a five or six-year-old child. He is not a fool."

"Okay." Seeing him say this, Deputy Director Zhang nodded and said, "I might have made a mistake. Let me ask again, your nephew Guan Weizheng's mental retardation is actually fake. Do you know or not?"

"I really don't know. When I interacted with him, he acted like a child, no matter what he did or said."

Deputy Director Zhang then asked some more questions, and the conversation lasted about forty minutes in total.

He asked some slightly pointed questions, but they were not particularly difficult to answer. After the conversation, Xue Baolai breathed a sigh of relief.

In his opinion, he should have passed the test.

The reason why he thought so was that he had never dealt with people from the Social Affairs Bureau.

Over the years, he has been doing well with the help of Professor Zhang's reputation and has never encountered any problems. Except for the normal review when he followed his teacher into the project team, he has never had any real dealings with people from the Social Affairs Bureau.

So I have no idea about the case handling style of those people in the Social Affairs Bureau.

In his opinion, he had passed the test this time, but in the eyes of Deputy Director Zhang of the Jiangsu Provincial Bureau, this questionnaire was too weird.

This is not a question at all, it's just a formality.

He didn't believe at all that his colleagues in Beijing were at this level.

He would rather believe that those people in Jing City did this on purpose for the purpose of appeasement.

The problem facing this person must be very big.

When shaking hands with Xue Baolai and saying goodbye, Deputy Director Zhang looked at him deeply, wondering whether he should arrange two people to be with this guy.

After thinking about it, I decided to forget it. Since my colleagues in Beijing could do this, they must have a backup plan.

He arranged people to keep an eye on and monitor them. If this guy finds out, it would be a big problem and might even disrupt other people's plans.

Thinking of this, he decided to wait and see.

After leaving the conference room, I originally wanted to say goodbye to Professor Zhang, but I found out that he was not there, so I had to give up and left the guesthouse directly.

Standing at the gate of the guesthouse, Xue Baolai breathed a sigh of relief once again as he watched the jeep from the Social Affairs Bureau start up and leave. After it turned at the intersection ahead and disappeared from view completely, he breathed a sigh of relief once more.

This was the first time that someone from the Social Affairs Bureau came to his house for a private conversation. During the interrogation, his heart was pounding non-stop, and he was worried that the other party might hear his heartbeat.

Fortunately, it's over.

call……

He turned and walked into the guesthouse.

"Comrade, may I ask if you know where Professor Zhang went?"

"Are you talking about Professor Zhang who lives on the second floor?"

"right"

"Professor Zhang just went to the research institute and will be back later."

"OK, thanks!"

"You're welcome"

The teacher went to graduate school?
Xue Baolai raised his eyebrows, turned and walked towards the stairs. Since the teacher was not there, he decided to go back to his room and rest for a while.

……

"Director Zhang, that's... Professor Zhang, right? Is he waving to stop us?"

The jeep of the Su Provincial Bureau had just turned the corner and driven less than a hundred meters when the driver saw a person on the side of the road waving at the road. He said to Deputy Director Zhang who was sitting in the passenger seat with some confusion.

"parking"

Deputy Director Zhang also saw Professor Zhang standing on the side of the road and waving at him, so he quickly asked the driver to stop the car. Without waiting for the car to stop, he opened the door and got out.

"Professor Zhang, what are you doing?"

"Director Zhang, I finally got you out. I have something I want to talk to you about."

Hearing Professor Zhang say this, Deputy Director Zhang's head was full of question marks. If you want to talk to me about something, you can just wait in the room. As for running here to stop us...

Ok?
In an instant, he thought of the guess he had made just now in the conference room.

"Professor Zhang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Director Zhang, this is not the place to talk. Let's go to your car and talk."

"Of course, please."

"Don't blame me for being suspicious. I don't know if your two subordinates..."

"Don't worry, Professor Zhang. My people are trustworthy. Of course, to allay your concerns, I will ask them to get out of the car and stand guard outside to prevent anyone from hearing our conversation."

"Thank you Director Zhang for your understanding."

"Professor Zhang, please."

He asked his two men to watch under the car to prevent anyone from approaching the car. Deputy Director Zhang and Professor Zhang sat in the passenger seat and the back seat respectively.

Professor Zhang was a little hesitant. He didn't know whether he should report directly to the Science and Technology Commission or to the Beijing Municipal Social Affairs Bureau.

I thought about it again and again in the room just now, and finally decided to tell the comrades from the Su Provincial Social Affairs Bureau first.

Whether it is the Science and Technology Commission or the Beijing Social Affairs Bureau, they are all thousands of kilometers away. Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst and may even delay things.

But if he talked to the people from Su Province in the house, he was worried that it would take too long to arouse Xue Baolai's suspicion. That's why he left a message at the front desk of the guesthouse that he was going to the research institute, but ran to the road that Deputy Director Zhang had to take to return and waited there.

"Professor Zhang, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

"Yes, what I want to report is the problem of my student Xue Baolai." Having already decided to talk to him, Professor Zhang did not hesitate at all.

As expected! Deputy Director Zhang muttered to himself.

"What do you think is wrong with him?"

"Director Zhang, before Xue Bao came here, you told me about the case that happened in the project team of the Beijing Instrument Factory. You wanted to talk to him because of this case. Is that okay?"

"no problem"

"I don't know how much you know about this case. What I want to say now is that my student Xue Baolai may also be involved in this case."

"Professor Zhang, why do you feel this way?"

"He just lied to me."

"Oh? What did he tell you about panic?"
