Chapter 322: Going off the beaten track
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the first case analysis meeting ended, and the heads of various departments and teams who received the order began to assign tasks.

Li Yancheng was free again.

He didn't stay in the middle courtyard. After coming out of the meeting room, he returned to the health room in the front yard.

Since he had to go to school next week, Lao Xu gave him the task of doing whatever he wanted.

Free time? Definitely not.

He plans to investigate from other angles.

For example, find that old classmate Zhu Yongyang and ask him about Xiao Wu.

Duan Zhenghui said that Xiao Wu usually hangs out with a younger brother under Zhu Yongyang, so this person should know Xiao Wu better.

Then go to the detention center and find Chen Mingzhu to ask about He Hua and see if she knows about this undercover group.

We also need to find her daughter Dong Qiuling to find out if there are any other hidden stories behind the arson cases committed by Chang Shengyuan.

He also planned to ask Xue Baolai and Cao Wanquan to see what they thought of the lotus logo.

Ugh……

That Chen Guangyao has been executed, otherwise he might have known something.

There is also Chen Yaozong who died in Hong Kong Island. If he were alive, he might know more.

These hidden groups are intricately interconnected and complex, and the leaders above them are not from the same organization.

Some lurkers were caught and didn't even know who they were working for.

The groups that were ordered to stay undercover did not know each other, and even if they did, it was just old relationships.

In fact, it has been 20 years since the liberation, and the hidden criminals who stayed behind at that time have basically been defeated.

There are also many people who have lost contact with that place. As they get older, those messy thoughts become less and less.

However, safety protection work is actually becoming more and more difficult to do in the future.

If these lurkers can sometimes be traced, then those who were bribed later can really be said to be completely irregular.

Especially after the reform and opening up.

Sitting alone quietly in the clinic, Li Yancheng was smoking and thinking carefully.

The normal way was that Lao Xu and Su Xiaotong had clearly assigned the task in the conference room just now. He could only take an unconventional approach and try to find out something.

"Sincerity"

Just as he was making plans for the next few days, the curtain of the clinic was lifted and Deputy Director Wang Hongli appeared at the door.

Li Yancheng stood up quickly.

"Director Wang, please come in."

"I'm not going in. Secretary Yang from Mr. Wang's office is here. He wants to talk to you about something."

???

Secretary Yang?
Li Yancheng walked out of the house with some confusion, and saw Yang Wenxuan, Mr. Wang's personal secretary, standing at the bottom of the stairs, looking at him with a smile.

"Hello, Secretary Yang!"

"Section Chief Li, the commander asked me to come over and give you a message."

At Secretary Yang's signal, Li Yancheng walked a few steps toward the center of the yard.

"Chief Li, after a professional examination, it has been confirmed that Chen Yunwei has never given birth to a child. You don't have to worry about it in the future, and you don't have to care about anyone making a fuss about it."

I wipe!
After hearing what Secretary Yang said in a low voice, Li Yancheng was a little confused. He didn't expect that Mr. Wang was so busy that he still remembered this matter and even arranged for someone to give Chen Yunwei a special examination.

He had never worried about this.

But no matter what, this is also care from the leadership.

"Thank you, Secretary Yang, for taking the trouble to come here in person. Please also thank the commander for his concern on my behalf."

"Haha, there's no need to be so polite to our own people." Secretary Yang smiled and shook his head.

Although Li Yancheng is young and is only a small section chief, Secretary Yang dare not act arrogantly in front of him.

Not to mention that he is Mr. Luo's son-in-law, he has always been aware of the leader's love for him.

Just like the incident two days ago, the leader personally took on the pressure and asked for a thorough investigation until an explanation was given from the other side. Wow, how many people can get such treatment?

……

Secretary Yang came here specifically to talk about this. After talking to Li Yancheng, he chatted with Deputy Director Wang Hongli for a few words and then left in a car.

Chen Yunwei!
Standing at the gate and watching the car driving away, this name emerged in Li Yancheng's mind.

I don’t know if this woman has given up yet.

"Yancheng, you're not going in?"

"Ah? Oh, Director Wang, please go in first. I'll go outside to get some fresh air."

"Okay, if you don't have anything else to do, just go home. It's almost time to get off work anyway."

Wang Hongli knew that Li Yancheng would soon be taking a leave of absence to attend classes, and since Lao Xu hadn't assigned him any tasks yet, she simply did him a favor.

It's almost half past five now.

"Okay, Director Wang, I'll go back first then."

"Okay, let's go."

It just so happened that he had some vegetables bought from the restaurant earlier in his warehouse, so he just had to go back and steam some rice.

Alas... there are quite a few meals in his warehouse that he used to buy from restaurants or from the kitchen from time to time. They are still steaming hot and can be eaten directly.

It was fine before they got married, but now that he is married, he doesn't even dare to take these things out casually.

It was only five forty when he strolled back to the yard. He had a cloth bag in his hand, which contained three lunch boxes.

The gate was not closed. It should be because Zhao Mingming and Ningning from the Zhao family in the front yard had returned from school.

There was no movement in the front yard. Who knows where the kid from the Zhao family had gone crazy again. In the backyard, Ningning was lying on a stone table with a few classmates from the alley, talking and doing homework.

"Big Cheng Brother"

"Uncle Dacheng"

These little girls call him all kinds of names.

Seeing that it was almost six o'clock, the little girls packed up and stopped writing. Some of them had to go home to help with cooking.

These ones are relatively better off, at least they don’t have any younger brothers or sisters who need them to take care of them.

Nowadays, most families have many children, and many older children either help with cooking or take care of the younger ones after school.

The situation is still better in the city, but in rural areas, many older children need to take care of their younger siblings and cook at the same time after their parents go to work.

Some children have to take their younger ones with them to school.

This is the situation at the time. Although it seems that life is indeed a bit hard, everyone has a goal to strive for.

At least I know clearly that if I work hard, my life will be better.

"Ning Ning"

Seeing that the children had left, Li Yancheng lifted the door curtain and shouted.

"What's wrong, Brother Dacheng?" Ningning had just finished cleaning up and was about to go into the house. She also helps her sister-in-law cook now.

"Did your sister-in-law tell me what you're having for lunch?" "When my sister-in-law left this morning, she told my brother that they were having porridge and steamed buns. I'm going to cook the porridge first. Brother Dacheng, are you and sister-in-law Xiaomin going to eat at my house? I'll make some more."

"No, no, no, don't cook porridge. I just bought some vegetables from the restaurant. Just steam some rice. You three can come to my place and eat later."

"Hey, thank you, Brother Dacheng. I'll come and wash the rice."

Ningning's eyes lit up when she heard that. She lifted the door curtain of her house, threw her schoolbag inside, and ran over quickly. She took the pot from under the cupboard very familiarly, scooped rice from the rice bag, and went out to wash the rice.

This saved Li Yancheng the trouble. He took a stool and sat under the eaves outside like a big boss and lit a cigarette.

"Ning Ning"

"Ok?"

"Are you familiar with Xiao Wu from Donggaofang Hutong?"

"Xiao Wu?" Ningning frowned and thought for a while while washing rice.

"I'm not familiar with him. He is four or five years older than me. I only know that he often follows Xiaohong's brother around."

"Who is Xiaohong?"

"That's the one who was sitting next to me just now, with two braids on her head."

"Oh, you're talking about the little girl from the Yue family. Her brother's name is... Dashan, Yue Dashan?"

"Yes, I only know that Xiao Wu often follows Da Shan around, but I don't know anything else."

"I remember Yue Dashan has a job in your sister-in-law's department store."

"I didn't say no." Ningning turned her head and looked at Li Yancheng strangely.

"Then you said Xiao Wu was following behind him."

"Brother Dashan does have a job, but he's just a temporary worker doing loading and unloading in a department store warehouse. I heard from Xiaohong that he only makes 21 yuan a month.

There are eight people in her family, but only her father and brother work. Her mother occasionally gets some work from the towel factory and can earn at most ten or eight yuan a month, which is just enough to buy medicine for the elderly.

So Dashan often went to the ghost market to buy some things to supplement the family income. "

So that's how it is, Li Yancheng nodded.

Every family has this hard-to-recite sutra!

"Is Yue Dashan following Zhu Yongyang?"

"Yes, everyone in this area who does business in the ghost market follows him. People say that Zhu Yongyang is getting more and more prosperous now."

Are you getting more and more rich as you get more mixed up?
Li Yancheng felt that Zhu Yongyang was becoming more and more dangerous.

People are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat, especially since he is not following the right path.

If others want to deal with him, they don't have to go through the trouble of collecting any materials. They are ready-made.

"Brother Dacheng, why are you asking Xiaowu?"

Ningning suddenly realized that something was wrong. Of course she knew what Li Yancheng did. Could the person he took the initiative to inquire about be a good person?

"Xiao Wu is dead."

"What?" Ningning was so surprised that she almost threw the pot in her hand, looking at Brother Dacheng in disbelief.

There was no need to keep this secret. The news would spread within a day or two, so Li Yancheng did not hide it.

But he still reminded: "Ningning, don't tell anyone else when you go out."

"Oh, I understand, Dacheng brother, but...how did Xiaowu die?"

"He was murdered, and the murderer is not yet identified."

Although Xiao Wu died in Zhao Guangrun's home and was buried behind the wall of his house, there should be no doubt that he buried him, but the murder weapon has not been found today.

"Is that so, Ningning? After dinner, go to Xiaohong's house. If Yue Dashan is there, ask him to come over and tell him that I have something to talk to him about."

"okay"

Ningning was a little dazed. Although she was not very familiar with Xiaowu, she often saw him in this area.

Now an acquaintance was gone, murdered, so she couldn't help but have some strange feelings in her heart.

But this girl was a big-hearted and thick-skinned person. Besides, her father and brother, who had passed away, were both police officers, and they had heard many stories about murder cases at home. She had gotten used to hearing them, and she returned to normal after a while.

As soon as six o'clock arrived, the loudspeakers in the alley started to sound, first reading out a famous quote that was indispensable every morning and evening, and then broadcasting a while of news.

It would be more appropriate to say old news, as most reports are from a week ago.

This is also the only way for many ordinary people to contact the outside world.

Radios are still a scarce item, mainly because if you want to buy one you have to go to the Radio Management Office to report and register it. This is one reason.

The second is that radio tickets are also difficult to get.

Basically no ordinary people bought it. It was only after a few years when the control was relaxed that more and more people started to buy it.

By then, the three major items of marriage will be basically completed, three turns and one ring.

Three turns are bicycles, watches, and sewing machines, and one sound is a radio.

If you want to add something else, you have to add dozens of legs, which refers to furniture, such as beds, large cabinets, tables, etc.

In fact, we can see from these changes that life is really getting better little by little.

As the horn sounded, the alley gradually became lively and people came back from get off work.

……

"Dacheng, were explosives found again in Yangchao this morning?"

After Jin Zhihai, who came back last, came in, the five people from two families sat together in the yard and started eating.

People living in the other two houses in the backyard would not come back until they had finished eating at the company kitchen, usually after seven o'clock.

After taking a few bites from the bowl, Jin Zhihai remembered what he had heard and asked.

Their Second Criminal Investigation Division had a mission in Shishan District today, and the Municipal Public Security Bureau sent no one from their division to Yangchao to maintain order.

This question made the three women's ears prick up immediately. They had also heard about it at work today, but the news circulating among the people had already changed after being spread from one person to ten or a hundred people.

Li Yancheng added a piece of pig intestine and threw it into his mouth, nodding as he chewed. "Well, after a lot of trouble, it made quite a noise. We found that all personnel within a hundred meters of the location of the explosion were evacuated."

"So big?"

"There are so many of them. If that thing really goes off, the consequences will be hard to estimate."

"Good boy, no one noticed after doing so much?"

"Who knows? It's still unclear where it came from. If you don't have any particularly important cases on hand, you will probably have a task tomorrow."

"Our director has been called back early this afternoon by the bureau."

"Well, that's the job. Zhihai, be more careful when you go out to investigate. The criminals this time are different from the previous ones. They are extremely dangerous."

It is definitely not possible to rely solely on the Social Affairs Bureau to investigate explosives. The public security bureaus must cooperate. This afternoon, the public security bureaus in all districts and counties have received notices and have begun working overtime to investigate.

The Second Criminal Investigation Division had other tasks today, so Jin Zhihai could only leave work normally in the afternoon, otherwise he would have to work overtime starting tonight.

Li Yancheng's words made the three women at the same table nervous.

He turned to look at them and said with a smile: "Okay, don't worry, this is what Zhihai and I do, we will protect ourselves as much as possible.

Let's eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold, let's not talk about these things that make us lose our appetite."
