Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 325 Confirmed
Ten minutes later, Wang Zhongyang drove Su Xiaotong to the entrance of the alley near Zhang Xiaoying's home on Dongsi.

"Director Su, this should be the place. I think the alley is quite wide. Let's drive straight in."

"Row"

The car slowly drove into the alley. Su Xiaotong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head to look outside the car, staring carefully at the house numbers on the doors of each courtyard.

"That's it, 2-16"

"squeak"

Su Xiaotong opened the car door and walked down. When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times.

"bang bang bang"

Wang Zhongyang parked the car and walked over.

"bang bang bang"

"Who is it this late at night?"

With a click, a soft yellow light came through the crack in the door, followed by the impatient voice of a middle-aged man.

"Public Security Bureau, open the door."

Hearing the voice inside, Wang Zhongyang stated his identity and reached into his left chest pocket to take out his work ID.

"From the Public Security Bureau?" The male voice inside was obviously a little confused as to why the Public Security Bureau came here so late. Then he suddenly realized and asked, "Are you here to look for Zhang Xiaoying? Is it because of her boyfriend?"

The middle-aged man's voice was coming from far away and gradually approaching behind the door.

"Yes, Zhang Xiaoying's home is in this courtyard."

"Yes, yes, yes. Please wait a moment. I'll open the door."

"Click". First the light at the door was turned on from inside.

With the sound of the bolt from inside, the wooden door creaked open a small crack, and the head of a middle-aged man wearing glasses and who looked to be in his fifties poked out from the crack.

Although they said they were public security officers, he was still cautious.

When he stuck his head out and saw that both people outside were wearing police uniforms, the middle-aged man was obviously relieved.

"Comrade, this is my work ID."

Wang Zhongyang opened the work ID in his hand and showed it in front of him.

The middle-aged man raised his hand to push down his glasses and looked at his work ID carefully. After seeing it clearly, an apologetic smile appeared on his face.

"I'm really sorry, my two police comrades, especially because it's so late now."

As the middle-aged man spoke, he opened the wooden door.

"I understand. It's my duty to be careful." Wang Zhongyang put away his work ID and nodded.

"Please come in, the two of you. Zhang Xiaoying's home is in the east wing of the backyard. She and her parents live in the north room of the east wing."

This courtyard is similar to the one where Li Yancheng lives. It is also a quadrangle with two entrances. Opposite the gate is a screen wall. In the front yard are two back houses. The courtyard is not big either.

After passing through the hanging flower gate, you will reach the backyard. The layout of the backyard is the same as that of the other side, with a main house and an ear room. The difference is that the ear room here is on the east side, and then there are two east and west wing rooms.

The backyard was dark because there was no light on. Fortunately, Su Xiaotong and Wang Zhongyang brought flashlights with them when they came, and they turned on the flashlights as soon as they passed through the hanging flower gate.

According to what the middle-aged man said, after entering the backyard, the two went straight to the north room of the east wing, while the middle-aged man stood at the hanging flower gate and did not come over. There was also a middle-aged woman beside him, who should be his wife.

Wang Zhongyang took a few quick steps to the target door and knocked twice.

Perhaps the noise in front had already woken up the people in the backyard. As soon as I knocked on the door, the lights in the main house lit up, followed by the east and west wing rooms.

"Who is it?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the north room of the east wing.

"I'm from the Public Security Bureau. I want to ask Zhang Xiaoying something."

Now that they were awake, Wang Zhongyang no longer tried to lower his voice.

"coming"

Soon there was a rustling sound in the room.

The person who came out the fastest was the one who lived in the south room of the east wing. He looked to be about the same age as Su Xiaotong. He turned on the light outside the door before coming out.

"My two police comrades, my name is Zhang Xiaodong, and I'm Xiaoying's brother. Are you looking for my sister or are you asking about Sui Donghe?"

As soon as the young man came out, he introduced himself. He had a pack of cigarettes in his hand and walked over to give out cigarettes.

Su Xiaotong raised his hand to block the cigarette, then nodded and said, "Yes, let's go find her to verify some things about Sui Donghe."

"Didn't you ask all the questions that day? Why are you asking again so late?"

Before the young man finished speaking, the door of the north room opened. The first person to come out was a middle-aged man, who looked to be the young man's father. Following him was a middle-aged woman, and behind him was a young woman in her early twenties with a nervous look on her face. She must be Zhang Xiaoying.

At this time, people from the main house and the west wing also came out of their respective rooms.

Su Xiaotong did not answer Zhang Xiaoying's brother's question. After hearing the movement from other directions, he turned his head and glanced at the people coming out from the other two directions, and then his eyes fell on the young woman who came out of the north room.

At this time, Wang Zhongyang had taken out his work ID and showed it to Zhang Xiaoying's father.

"Comrade Public Security, please come in and take a seat."

"I don't want to sit anymore." Su Xiaotong waved his hand and took two steps forward.

"We are here just to ask Comrade Zhang Xiaoying a few questions and then leave."

"Comrade Public Security, what do you want to ask?"

Although she was nervous, Zhang Xiaoying also understood that the police wanted to find her to find out about Sui Donghe, so she had to cooperate. She mustered up her courage and took two steps forward.

"Zhang Xiaoying, have you ever seen Sui Donghe's watch?"

Su Xiaotong didn't waste any more words and directly asked the purpose of his trip.

"You mean the missing piece?"

"right"

"Yes," Zhang Xiaoying nodded.

"Does the watch have any special marks?"

"There's a scratch on the back of the watch case. I accidentally made it with a pair of scissors."

What Zhang Xiaoying said made Su Xiaotong subconsciously pinch his left hand. It seemed that his judgment was correct. The watch lost from Sui Donghe's house belonged to Zhao Guangrun.

He took the watch out of his pocket and said, "Look and see if this is the watch you saw at Sui Donghe's place."

"Ah? You found the watch."

Zhang Xiaoying walked over quickly and took the watch from Su Xiaotong. She first looked at the front of the watch carefully, and then turned it over to look at the back of the watch case.

"That should be the scratch I made. Comrade Public Security, how did Donghe disappear?"

When the people from the Third Department came to find her, they did not tell her how Sui Donghe died. She still doesn't know the details. She only knows that he is gone and his house was robbed.

Su Xiaotong took the watch from her and said, "Someone will inform you of the details later. It is still confidential. Sorry to bother you. We came here today just to let you see if this watch belongs to Sui Donghe."

He turned around and nodded to the others apologetically: "I'm sorry, everyone, for disturbing your rest. Zhongyang, let's go."

After saying "yes", Su Xiaotong turned around and walked towards the hanging flower gate leading to the front yard.

Looking at the two police officers' leaving backs, everyone in the backyard stood there staring at each other, and the people from the Zhang family even forgot that they should see them off.

……

"Director Su, was Sui Donghe killed by Zhao Guangrun?"

After getting in the car, Wang Zhongyang asked the doubts in his mind.

"From the current perspective, it is very possible." Su Xiaotong nodded, took out the address of Sui Donghe's parents' home that he had just copied from his pocket and showed it to Wang Zhongyang.

"Go here and let his parents look at this watch to see if they recognize it."

It is definitely not as easy to go find Sui Donghe's parents as it is here. Losing a son in old age is a great misfortune.

Even so, the old couple currently does not know that their son may have been bribed by foreign forces. The main reason is that there is currently no evidence to prove that Sui Donghe was bribed.

After everything is investigated and confirmed, I wonder if these two old people can still hold on, as this son is their pride.

When Su Xiaotong and Wang Zhongyang returned to the office, it was already past two in the morning.

Neither of them felt sleepy at all, as this difficult case had finally made a step forward.

Regardless of whether Sui Donghe was bribed, it has now been basically confirmed that his murderer was Zhao Guangrun.

In this case, Sui Donghe and the other two are most likely from the Lotus Group, while Zhao Guangrun is probably from another force.

The two forces may have had a conflict of interest or some other contradiction that triggered this bloody incident.

Or maybe they all belong to Lotus, and Sui Donghe was too high-profile, so they eliminated him themselves.

But why was Zhao Guangrun eliminated?
Also, who started the fire?

Or was it that Sui Donghe was killed by Zhao Guangrun and the fire was also caused by him? It was because he betrayed Hehua that Hehua killed him again and wanted to cause more damage.

Although they had basically found out some things, Su Xiaotong felt his temples throbbing when he thought that there were still so many questions that needed to be investigated one by one.

Ugh……

The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!
……

Tuesday, June 24th, marked the tenth day since the death of Sui Donghe, the first case in this series of cases.

Li Yancheng arrived at the office at eight o'clock in the morning. Except for the second-line civilian staff in the front yard, there were only a few people left in the middle yard and the back yard. The main force was still running around outside, investigating the origins of the explosives in a tense and orderly manner.

"Chief Li"

"Chief Li"

After saying hello to a few civil servants, Li Yancheng went straight to his office in the Intermediate Court. Just as he reached the door and was about to take out his key to open it, the door of the deputy director's office next door was opened and Su Xiaotong walked out.

"You came"

Looking at Su Xiaotong, whose hair was disheveled and eyes were bloodshot, Li Yancheng was slightly stunned.

He thought that this person was resting in the office suite in the front yard, but he didn't expect him to still be here.

"You were on duty last night, why are you still awake?"

"I couldn't sleep. I discovered something new last night."

"It just so happens that I have some new information here and I am going to verify it right away. Please tell me what you found first."

Seeing that he was not asleep and said that he had discovered something new, Li Yancheng didn't open the door. Instead, he walked up to him, took out a cigarette and gave it to him.

"The watch we found from Zhao Guangrun's home was the one that was stolen from Sui Donghe's home. I went to Zhang Xiaoying and Sui Donghe's parents last night to identify it.

His parents were not sure, as they had only met the old couple twice, but Zhang Xiaoying confirmed that she had seen the watch because the scratch on the back of the watch was made by her accidentally using scissors.

"So, Sui Donghe was most likely killed by Zhao Guangrun, and the one who stole the things was probably Xiao Wu."

When Li Yancheng heard what Su Xiaotong said, his eyes lit up.

"It was Xiao Wu who stole the things? Why do you say that?"

Su Xiaotong asked with some confusion.

"I talked to the guy Xiao Wu usually hangs out with last night, and he told me that on the 14th, the night before the incident..."

Li Yancheng recounted what Yue Dashan had told him last night.

"If that's the case, it might really be the case." After listening to this, Su Xiaotong pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Zhao Guangrun ordered Xiao Wu to steal things, and he himself killed Sui Donghe on Andingmen Inner Street. But what was his motive for killing?"

After asking this question, Su Xiaotong continued to ask and answer his own questions without waiting for Li Yancheng to speak.

"It should be to clean up the mess. He knew that Sui Donghe was being targeted by the Supervisory Group. In order to prevent this guy from giving them away after being caught, he killed him and sent Xiao Wu to steal anything that might be related to them."

"According to what you said, Zhao Guangrun and Sui Donghe should be in the same group?" Li Yancheng frowned deeply.

"It's possible," Su Xiaotong nodded.

"They are all from the Lotus Group. After cleaning up Sui Donghe, Lotus found that the effect was not good, so in the next few days, we gradually cleaned out Liang Qiutao, Li Zhengxi, and Zhao Guangrun who had entered our sight.

This way, no one will know him, and he can continue to hide and wait for an opportunity to strike."

Su Xiaotong's analysis was very reasonable, but Li Yancheng still felt strange.

"Are the mother and son of the Guan family also members of the Lotus Group?"

"Ok?"

Li Yancheng's sudden words made Su Xiaotong stunned. After a while, he came to his senses and asked in surprise, "Why are you talking about the Guan family mother and son again?"

"It's like this. The person I met last night also told me a clue. During the National Day last year, Zhao Guangrun went to Wuxuan and prepared three tables of food for a wedding.

According to our investigation, Wang Ligong's son got married on National Day last year and hired a chef from outside to prepare three tables of food. I feel that the person he invited was most likely Zhao Guangrun. "

"I understand. What you mean is that Zhao Guangrun accidentally found out about Liu Jiaquan's house and passed the news to the Guan family mother and son, asking them to use the small courtyard as a temporary safe house, right?"

Su Xiaotong suddenly realized and continued, but then he frowned again: "But we don't have any evidence that Zhao and Guan have ever met."

"So it's just a reasonable guess. I plan to go over and check first to see if it's Zhao Guangrun who cooked for the Wang family. If it's him, we can find a way to investigate further.

Xiaotong, I remember that Director Li and Lin Jun both said on Saturday that the Lotus Group's undercover mission is to sabotage, not to gather intelligence. If the Guan family mother and son are also members of the Lotus Group, does that mean their mission has changed?"

"Oh, let's not think about these for now. Let's implement them one by one." Su Xiaotong waved his hands with a headache.

Seeing that things were becoming more and more complicated, and there was even the possibility that the case of the theft of information from the instrument factory project team might be involved, he felt that his head was about to explode with all the information.

"Okay, I'll go to the backyard to meet Xue Baolai and Cao Wanquan to see if they know anything about lotus. Do you want to come?"

"I'm not going. I feel like my brain is almost shutting down."

"Come into the office. I'll give you an injection. You should sleep for an hour to recover. I'll leave after you wake up."

Seeing his tired appearance, Li Yancheng spoke.

"I've been waiting for you to say this." Su Xiaotong smiled and turned into the office.
