Chapter 377 Another one?
On the other side, Su Xiaotong hung up the phone, let out a sigh, stood up and walked out of the office.

He wanted to go over and report his previous guess to the director.

Should we investigate? How should we investigate? We need to work out a rule.

Of course, Lao Xu agreed to investigate.

Even if this is not a clue and can only be regarded as a guess, but when there is no other way, I can only check it first.

Therefore, people from the Investigation Department were arranged to go to the court to check the files and see which farms the people who were sentenced last year were sent to.

Then we send a joint investigation notice to the farm and ask the police officers on the farm to help interrogate the person again. If any problems are found, we will report back to them and we will send someone over.

This work cannot be completed overnight. It would be considered fast if it can be completed within the first month of the year. There is no other way. They can send people to the prisons and farms around Beijing for interrogation in person, but those who are far away can only wait.

On the afternoon of February 1st, just as everyone was busy with this clue that was not a clue, Li Yancheng at Luo's house also received a call from the bureau.

"Comrade Yan Cheng, I am Guan Jun."

"Hello, Director."

"I'm calling you because I want to ask for your opinion on something."

"Administrator, please give your instructions."

Seeking advice?

After hearing what Deputy Director Guan said on the other end of the phone, Li Yancheng raised his eyebrows. What matter required his opinion?
"It's not an instruction, I'm really asking for your opinion. This morning, Director Zhong talked to me about which job position he should assign you to next.

Comrade Yan Cheng, I believe you should also be aware that you are indeed no longer suitable to continue working on the front line, and it is imperative to adjust your position. On the one hand, we hope that you can stay quiet for a while to protect your safety.

The second is that the research project you are involved in is very important. If you continue to work on the front line, these two tasks will definitely conflict in the future, and it will be inconvenient to coordinate time.

The leaders at the headquarters also said that they hope your work focus can be shifted toward that research group in the future, so one of the principles followed in adjusting your position this time is to try not to let you invest too much energy in other areas.

After all, you are still the interrogation expert of the commission. You may be needed for support someday. If you are assigned other complicated tasks, it will definitely have a significant impact.

so……"

Now Li Yancheng understood that the bureau didn't know how to adjust his work.

He is now a full-time section chief of a subordinate department. If he is transferred to a second-line position, he will at least have to be the section chief of a department in the bureau, or even promoted to deputy director.

But such a position requires a lot of on-site work, and the bureau leaders are worried that he will delay the normal work of the bureau because of his other two jobs.

"Director, I remember that Deputy Director Zhao of the Archives Department is about to retire."

Li Yancheng asked for a position for himself without any hesitation.

His words left Deputy Director Guan on the other end of the phone silent for a long time.

When I discussed with Director Zhong in the morning, I did mention this position. Although the archives room manages many confidential files, it still cannot change its situation of being the most inconspicuous department of the Social Affairs Bureau.

This is a department that provides elderly care and resettles some family members.

So although he mentioned this position when he was discussing with Director Zhong in the morning, it was just a casual mention.

They didn't dare to transfer a front-line section chief who was less than 30 years old, had great prospects and a strong background to this position, even if the deputy director of the archives room was equivalent to the deputy director.

But now that the parties have brought it up themselves, it’s different.

And to be honest, this position is indeed very suitable for Li Yancheng at the moment. The position is not low and the work is not much, which can just meet his needs to be busy with other things.

"Comrade Yan Cheng, I understand what you mean. The bureau will fully consider your opinion."

"Thank you, leader!"

……

February 4, 21st year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wednesday, the beginning of spring, the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month of the Jiyou year
Li Yancheng, chief of the Preliminary Examination Section of the First Operation Division of the Beijing Social Affairs Bureau, was transferred to the Bureau’s Archives Office as deputy director.

The administrative level remains unchanged at level thirteen, with a level salary of one hundred and fifty-five yuan and fifty cents. The position salary is five yuan more than the previous ten yuan, and the current total is one hundred and seventy yuan and fifty cents.

When this document was distributed to all departments across the board, it caused quite a stir.

One was surprised that a full-time section chief on the front line was transferred to work in the last department on the second line.

The second is the emergence of a deputy director who is only 28 years old. However, this is still a little bit worse than Su Xiaotong who was promoted to deputy director of the first department at the same age last year.

After the bureau announced the order in the morning, Li Yancheng had already arrived at the archive room located in the bureau compound to take up his post.

The archives room is located in the backyard of the compound, together with the Security Department. The current director is Hong Dingguo, the former director of the Second Department, and the two deputy directors are Xie Guangming and Zhao Baoquan.

However, the deputy director surnamed Zhao has been relieved of his post as he is about to retire and has retreated to the second line. He will basically not come to the unit again after handing over his work to Li Yancheng.

The year before last, Hong Dingguo was removed from his post as director of the Second Department because of the involvement of his subordinates. After investigation, it was clear that he had indeed not engaged in any illegal or criminal activities.

In the end, he only assumed leadership and management responsibilities and was transferred to the archives room as director.

Although the administrative level has not changed, compared with the important position of the Second Department, the position of the Archives Director is almost negligible.

If it weren't for this incident, Hong Dingguo would have been the one with the greatest hope of being promoted to deputy director in this adjustment of the Social Affairs Bureau's leadership team.

Looking at the young Li Yancheng sitting opposite him, Director Hong sighed silently in his heart.

It was because of this young man that he ended up in this situation two years ago.

However, he didn't have any other thoughts about Li Yancheng, and he was not framed by anyone.

On the contrary, to be honest, he should thank others. If the subordinate's accident had not been discovered in advance, who knows what kind of damage would have been caused in the future.

If that were the case, he would have to bear even greater responsibility, and it is possible that he would be demoted to the lowest position, or even convicted of dereliction of duty.

Then his life would be completely over.

"Comrade Yancheng, welcome to the archives room. The leader has told me the reason for your transfer. Director Baoquan's original responsibilities were borrowing, copying, delivering and destroying.

In view of your special situation, I have discussed with Director Guangming and decided that he will take on the three tasks of borrowing, copying and delivering, and the custody work that he was originally responsible for will be assigned to you.

This way, your future work will be kept and destroyed. What do you think?"

Li Yancheng knew a little about the work content of the archives room. In his previous life, their finance department also had its own archives room, which was responsible for keeping financial archives.

The difference is that at that time, most operations were done on computers, and the electronic versions were used for inquiries and file transfers.

If it comes to the stage where paper copies of files need to be checked, it generally means the situation is serious and the people who come to check are from the disciplinary inspection and supervision departments.

There is no such thing as electronic version now, everything is paper version. In addition, the Social Affairs Bureau has to keep, retain and back up a large number of confidential files, coupled with the limitations of the times and the backwardness of various auxiliary equipment.

The work in the archives is still very busy and seems a bit chaotic.

When Li Yancheng was transferred here to work, although the leaders just wanted to find a suitable position to settle him, he still wanted to make some achievements in this position.

Of course he has no problem adjusting his original responsibilities.

Borrowing, copying and delivering are three complicated and busy tasks. Although as the deputy director he does not have to do anything himself as there are corresponding staff from various departments to handle it, his signature is still necessary.

We can't just wait until he's busy with project team matters at the headquarters, and then when something here requires his signature, the staff will have to go around the world looking for him with the relevant documents.

Relatively speaking, storage and destruction are not tasks that require a lot of time, so it is just right to hand them over to him.

It can be seen that Director Hong has also considered it carefully.

"Director, if Director Guangming has no objection, I will resolutely obey the organization's arrangements."

"Okay." Hong Dingguo nodded with a smile and stretched out his right hand.

Seeing this, Li Yancheng quickly stood up and stretched out his hands to shake it.

"Comrade Yan Cheng, I hope that we can cooperate sincerely in the future and do our jobs well. I hope that your arrival can bring us something different. I also hope that you can integrate into the big family of the archives room as soon as possible and adapt to your new job as soon as possible."

"Please rest assured, director."

After coming out of the director's office, under the leadership of Hong Dingguo, Li Yancheng first met with deputy director Xie Guangzhi, and then took a tour of the various departments under the archives room, which was considered his official appearance in the archives room.

Although he had already known the people in the archives room for a long time due to work reasons, he still had to go through the necessary procedures.

Just like that, two days before the Spring Festival, Li Yancheng rushed to his new job and embarked on a new journey.

……

Ninghe Tea Garden, Bac Ha Province
Here is a prison farm managed by the Beijing Public Security Bureau.

This is also the first labor reform prison farm in the country. It was approved by the State Council and established in the second year of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The site was determined to be about 20 acres of saline-alkali land in and around Chadian.

In the first year of its establishment, the farm reclaimed more than 7000 acres of saline-alkali wasteland, dug canals, washed the salt and alkali, planted rice, and gradually accepted more than 2200 prisoners.

It created a historical record of land reclamation, production and harvest in the same year, and since then formed a revenue and expenditure model in which the state unified purchase and sale and the prison was self-sufficient.

Near Beijing City, most of the undercover criminals with sentences of less than ten years are detained here.

Many of those with heavier sentences were sent to farms in the Northeast and even the Northwest.

In order to achieve a crucial breakthrough, even though today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, Su Xiaotong still brought people to the farm to talk to those lurkers who were sentenced since March last year.

It is unlikely that we can get anything out of these people by directly interrogating them. If they were willing to confess voluntarily, they would have done so when they were arrested last year.

If one chooses to conceal it, it means that he knows that his sin is serious and he will probably be hit on the head if he is discovered.

Moreover, because these people have been engaged in undercover work for a long time, many of them have received professional training before going undercover and have their own set of anti-interrogation methods.

If you use force, the effect will definitely not be very good, but if you adopt the approach of conversation, you may be able to achieve some unexpected results.

Whether it is an interrogation or a conversation, the main thing is to observe the expressions of these people. Through the changes in their facial expressions, we can roughly determine whether these people are lying or hiding something. The oldest is in his sixties and the youngest is in his twenties. Those who are younger are usually bribed.

The conversation lasted from noon to evening, with each person talking for about half an hour. As of now, there are still three people left who have not talked, and nothing unusual has been found.

This did not come as a surprise to them.

"report"

"Come in"

Soon, the next person was brought into the conference room.

The prisoner brought in this time was a female prisoner named Fan Chunni, 35 years old. Before her arrest, she was a staff member of a street office in Wenchong District. Based on what she had done and the amount of damage she had caused, she was sentenced to seven years in prison by the court.

She was seduced by a lurker and secretly photographed some confidential information in the hands of her husband who worked at a certain engineering command center, and of course, is now her ex-husband.

As usual, after coming in, I first asked about her life and mental state, and then got down to business.

As time passed, this conversation still yielded no results.

Su Xiaotong exhaled the cigarette he had inhaled and waved to the farm guards, indicating that they could take the people away.

"Director Su, I feel that this kind of conversation will not have any effect at all. We are completely in the dark about the superiors behind the two Hou brothers. We don't know their height, weight, age, or whether they are male or female.

It's like a blind cat waiting for a dead mouse, a complete waste of time."

"Alas..." Su Xiaotong sighed. He knew very well that such a conversation would most likely end up being a wasted trip, but what else could he do?

"report"

Just when he was about to speak to comfort his subordinates who had been forced to work overtime during the Chinese New Year, a report came from the door of the meeting room.

Turning around, I saw that the person shouting the report at the door was a female police officer who had just escorted Fan Chunni out.

"Come in, what's going on?"

"Director Su, it's Fan Chunni. We just took her out and she suddenly said she remembered something and wanted to report it to you."

"Please bring her in."

"Yes"

Looking at Fan Chunni who was brought in again, Su Xiaotong asked curiously, "What do you want to say?"

“Government, it has been almost a year since I was arrested. After being sentenced and coming here, I have been deeply reflecting on the wrong things I did in the past few years.

Because I have so many memories, I also remembered some things that I had forgotten when I confessed my crimes.”

"Oh? It seems that you have recalled other details. Tell me about them."

Fan Chunni's words aroused some interest in Su Xiaotong.

If we can't find any clues to the case we're currently handling, it would be better than nothing if we can find other clues.

The investigator and Sun He who were in charge of recording beside him also perked up at this time.

"Government, when I was arrested, you asked me if I knew who Tao Dachuan was working for. My answer at the time was that I didn't know."

The Tao Dachuan she was talking about was the lurker who seduced her onto the path of crime.

This person was one of the few people who was shot dead on the spot last year for firing a gun during an arrest.

Although a large amount of evidence was found in his home to prove his identity as a lurker, and through those evidences, Fan Chunni and another subordinate under his control were found.

But unfortunately, we still couldn't figure out which organization he served.

It was Li Yancheng's former father-in-law Chen Yaozong who implicated him at the time, but he was also very sure that Tao Dachuan was not a member of the organization that their Chen family worked for.

The reason why Chen Yaozong knew Tao Dachuan even though they were not serving the same organization was because he had served as an instructor for a period of time when Tao attended the Youth Training Class in 1948.

The person involved is dead, and the thing they wanted to find out the most was not answered. The people who participated in the arrest operation were very upset.

Now Fan Chunni mentioned Tao Dachuan again, and from what she said it seemed that she recalled something.

After arresting her, Li Yancheng used special interrogation methods on her and another subordinate named Tao because they knew nothing about the organization they served.

The two subordinates with the surname Tao really knew nothing.

"Did you remember something?" Su Xiaotong's eyes suddenly lit up.

If we can really find out something else, then it will be worth the trip.

"I did remember some things, but I can't tell you whether it is the same thing as what you want to know." Fan Chunni nodded.

"It's okay, just tell us what you remember, and we'll figure it out ourselves."

"I... I just... I just inadvertently remembered... One time when I delivered the secretly copied information to Tao Dachuan, he... he didn't let me go, and wanted to do something with me... with me..."

Even though she knew that the people sitting opposite her knew everything about her past, Fan Chunni still felt embarrassed and her face turned red when she talked about the past.

After all, what I have done is really shameful.

"Afterwards, I felt like he was worried about something, and he was not in a good state, so I asked him what was wrong. He might not have recovered at the time, and he said something like "those ugly countrymen are too difficult to please. They want this information and that information. Damn, why don't they do it themselves? Do they think that thing is so easy to get?"
After saying this, he seemed to have realized what was going on. When I asked him again what the ugly Chinese were, he either kept silent or changed the subject.

Later, as time went by, I forgot about it.”

Ugly countryman?!

The words that came out of Fan Chunni's mouth made Su Xiaotong and the other three open their eyes wide.

Especially Su Xiaotong.

When they went to Hong Kong Island to secretly arrest the Chen family last year, they already knew that the Ugly Country had people under their control in the country through certain means.

But most of these people were left over from Dongdao. The C Department of the Ugly Country only controlled Dongdao, and thus indirectly controlled many lurkers in the country.

But these lurkers are not aware of this.

But the fact that Tao Dachuan said that at the time proved that he knew the ugly Chinese and knew who he was serving.

This is the first time in history.

Ever since the Social Affairs Bureau learned from Chen Yaozong and the deceased Citibank account manager Vinod * Bullin last year that the Ugly Country C Department was also engaged in private activities and had also supported several other organizations, it has never taken it lightly.

But later, many lurkers were arrested, but no one could clearly explain which organization they served.

What Fan Chunni said today really gave them a pleasant surprise. It was also the first time they heard someone mention the ugly Chinese in China.

But that's how it is, because Tao Dachuan is dead, even if he knew many secrets, there is no way to know them now.

"Do you recall anything else?"

"There's nothing else." Fan Chunni shook her head.

"Don't you have any idea how Tao Dachuan contacted the people behind him?"

"The government, I really don't know. They never tell me this."

In fact, Su Xiaotong just asked casually. Li Yancheng had asked this question before, and this woman did not lie.

"Okay, Fan Chunni, what you just said is very important. After you go down, I hope that while you are undergoing the transformation, you can also recall it carefully to see if there are any other things like this that you accidentally mentioned during the chat.

After we verify, as long as it really helps us solve the case, we will report your meritorious service to the court, and when appropriate, we will definitely reduce your sentence."

"Thank you government, thank you government, I will definitely reform myself and try to get out as soon as possible." Fan Chunni said her words of gratitude with some excitement.

If she wasn't trying to get a reduced sentence, how could she have said all this?

"Well, take it away."

Su Xiaotong nodded and waved to the guard.

"Director Su, the information she provided doesn't seem to be very meaningful."

After watching Fan Chunni being led out of the meeting room, Sun He on the side spoke up.

"Why not? This shows that there are indeed lurkers in the country who are directly controlled by the ugly countrymen. Tao Dachuan is dead, but his superiors have not been exposed.

We have no way of knowing how many people like Tao Dachuan are controlled by this online team, and we also don’t know whether these people are in Beijing or other cities.

But just like the Hou brothers, we finally know what happened, so we should start to pay great attention to it, Old Sun..."

"arrive"

"After we go back, retrieve the files on Tao Dachuan's case and go through it again from the beginning to see if there are any other clues that we have missed."

"Yes"

call……

Su Xiaotong let out a breath slowly. This was really one problem after another. Before he could find any clues about the Hou brothers' whereabouts, another case with a similar status came out.

It's all become a unsolved case. Alas... I have to be busy again.

It would be great if Yan Cheng hadn’t been transferred.

For some reason, Li Yancheng's figure suddenly appeared in Su Xiaotong's mind again.
