Chapter 462 Asking
"Chief Sun, is there any unregistered person?" Su Xiaomin asked after thinking for a while.

"Normally, no. After work, the person in charge of registration in our security department will check the registration book. If they find someone who is not registered, they will go to the department to ask.

Ask the person clearly whether he has taken leave, is on a business trip, or if there is any other reason. If it is found that he has missed registering, it will be reported and his salary will be deducted, two yuan at a time, so generally no one will fail to register.

The same is true for the afternoon shift. If any department arranges overtime work that day, they must submit a list to our security department, and we mark it in the registration book.”

Sun Jianan explained their registration system in detail.

"Is it possible for someone else to take over?"

"Director Su, I can't say there aren't any. Although we prohibit this kind of situation, we can't guarantee that someone has a good relationship with the person in charge of registration, but this kind of situation is definitely rare."

What Section Chief Sun said was very honest, which made Su Xiaomin look at him with a higher opinion.

"Where is the register?"

"After I discovered the incident, I took the registration book from the sentry and put it in my office next to the duty room at the gate."

"Why did you put away the registration book?" Su Xiaomin seemed a little surprised when he heard Sun Jianan say that he had put away the registration book on his own initiative.

Faced with the inquiry, Section Chief Sun explained with a somewhat embarrassed smile.

"I just... I just subconsciously felt that I should put the registration book away. I didn't think about anything else at the time."

As they were talking, they had already gone down to the first floor.

"Come on, take me to your office first."

"Please come this way."

In the office of the security chief next to the duty room at the main gate, Su Xiaomin saw the notebook that the Institute of Steel Research used to register the entry and exit of cadres and employees in the office building.

There are two registration books in total, one for internal use and the other for outsiders who want to enter the office building.

This registration book can be compared with the visitor registration book in the duty room at the gate.

The booklet responsible for registering the internal personnel entering and leaving the office building can actually be seen as a roster. From the director to ordinary employees, the names of more than one hundred to nearly two hundred people in the institute are all on it.

There are some people at the back who have names but there is almost no entry and exit time recorded behind their names. These people are from the logistics department.

The Logistics Department has a large number of staff, including more than a dozen temporary workers who are responsible for the hygiene of the hospital. Their offices are not in the office building, but in a separate row of bungalows in the hospital, just like the Security Department's office is near the gate.

"Chief Sun, if someone still hasn't registered after everyone in the building has left, what will you do?"

After the names of the people in the registration book are dates, and under each date there are two spaces. One space is for the time when the person enters the office building in the morning when going to work, and the other space is for the time when the person leaves the office building in the afternoon when leaving get off work.

It is clear at a glance who is registered and who is not.

"After all personnel have left the office building, the person in charge of registration will check once more. If we find that anyone has not registered and no department has submitted an overtime application on that day, we will first look for the person in the building. If we cannot find the person, we will contact the head of the department to which the person belongs."

After hearing Sun Jian'an's explanation, Su Xiaomin nodded.

The rules and regulations are formulated very rigorously, but it is unclear whether they are implemented in practice.

How to put it, as long as it is operated by people, there will inevitably be human relationships involved.

Just like what happened today, judging from the traces at the scene, it is very likely that the perpetrator had been lurking in the office building after get off work.

How did this person get in before?
Su Xiaomin believed that the security department must be quite strict in registering outsiders, and it was not easy for outsiders to hide in the office building without being discovered.

The most likely scenario is that the crime was committed by an insider who did not leave the office building after get off work and took the opportunity to steal the document from the confidential room on the third floor.

Now there is another question, did this person leave the office building after committing the crime?
If you hadn't left, where are you now?
If he left, how did he leave?
"Military Glory"

Thinking of this, Su Xiaomin shouted.

"Deputy Director Su"

A middle-aged man who had been following Su Xiaomin responded.

"We will have people check the entire office building again. Every office must be opened for inspection to ensure that there are no blind spots left."

"Yes"

After receiving the order, the middle-aged man named Junhui turned and walked out of the security chief's office.

"Section Chief Sun"

"Director Su, please tell me"

"After discovering the incident, you arranged for someone to call the leaders and middle-level cadres in your institute to inform them, right?"

"Yes"

“Did all these people receive the notification in their own homes?”

Jinggang has its own internal telephone lines. All the leading cadres at the section level and above, as long as they live in the staff quarters, are equipped with telephones, making it convenient to communicate.

"Uh……"

Just when Sun Jian didn't know how to answer this question, Su Xiaomin continued, "Or let me ask this, is there anyone you haven't contacted?"

"Director Su, I'm not really sure about this. After I made the arrangements, I went out to look for Director Sun. When I came back, the leaders and the middle-level managers had already arrived one after another, so I didn't ask about this matter again."

"Okay." Su Xiaomin nodded, and did not continue to ask the question. Instead, he pointed to the registration book and said, "So, when these people who came here tonight entered the office building, did they not register again?"

"Uh... yes, tonight's is indeed not registered."

"I see." Su Xiaomin raised the registration book in his hand and said, "Chief Sun, I'll take this book first. I may need it later."

"Ok"

"When my people came over just now, didn't they temporarily gather the staff of your security department? Do you know where they are?"

"Yes, it's in the big office of the Logistics Department."

"Take me over there and find the person you arranged to call. I have a few questions for him."

"Yes, Director Su, please follow me."

Sun Jianan was very cooperative. He knew very well that he was in big trouble this time. He just hoped that the people from the Third Bureau could solve the case as soon as possible to reduce the responsibility he had to bear.

Outside the office of the Logistics Department, Su Xiaomin met Zhao Tianqi, who had followed Section Chief Sun's orders to call the leaders and middle-level cadres after discovering the incident.

Zhao Tianqi is in his early twenties. After being demobilized from the army, he was assigned to Jinggang and has just been working here for a year.

Maybe it was the first time he encountered such a thing, he seemed a little nervous and his face turned red.

Seeing his look, Su Xiaomin did not ask anything in a hurry. Instead, he patted his arm, motioning him to relax. He then gave him a cigarette, lit it, and seeing that he was more relaxed than before, he asked.

"Comrade Zhao Tianqi, it was you who called to inform the leaders of your institute and those middle-level cadres just now, right?"

Hearing Su Xiaomin's question, Zhao Tianqi did not answer, but looked at his section chief.

Seeing that he didn't answer the question but looked over here, Sun Jianan glared at him angrily: "What are you looking at me for, kid? Director Su asked you a question, why don't you just answer it truthfully?"

"Yes Yes……"

After being scolded, Zhao Tianqi nodded hurriedly and said after licking his lower lips.

"Commander, I was the one who basically made the calls to my supervisor and those section chiefs and deputy section chiefs."

"What do you mean you basically beat them all? And there were some that weren't beaten by you?"

"Yes, Xiaodong also helped make a few calls."

"Who is Xiaodong?"

"Director Su, Xiaodong is also the security officer of our security department. His full name is Yang Xiaodong. I asked him to notify our director at first, but he couldn't get in touch with anyone, so he came to inform me and then went back to help call other people."

This question was answered by Sun Jianan.

Su Xiaomin nodded, continued to look at Zhao Tianqi and asked, "Did you notify all the people you called?"

"Yes, Chief, I have been notified personally."

"Are you sure no one asked their family members to notify them on your behalf?" Su Xiaomin asked again.

"Uh..." Zhao Tianqi didn't answer in a hurry this time. Instead, he thought for a while before shaking his head and saying, "Reporting to the chief, no, except for Deputy Director Mao, who was answered by his wife first and then handed over to Director Mao, the others were answered by themselves and no one passed on the message."

"Okay." Su Xiaomin nodded, looked back at the recorder, and saw that he had finished recording the questions just now. Then he said, "Okay, Comrade Zhao Tianqi, you go in first and call that... Xiaodong out."

"Yes." The security personnel of Jinggang were also wearing police uniforms. Zhao Tianqi raised his hand and saluted in a very standard manner, then turned around and walked into the large office in an orderly manner.

Soon, the man called Yang Xiaodong also came out. He was about the same age as Zhao Tianqi, but from the way he walked, it could be seen that he had never been a soldier, and he stood there in a loose manner.

"Your name is Yang Xiaodong?"

"Yes"

Yang Xiaodong glanced at Sun Jianan, and seeing that his leader did not express any opinion, he answered honestly.

"After discovering the accident just now, who did Section Chief Sun ask you to call to inform them?"

"To the director of the security department of our main factory."

"Have you contacted him?"

"Uh..." When answering this question, Yang Xiaodong glanced at his leader again, stumbled, and said truthfully: "I... I didn't contact Director Sun. His wife answered the phone."

At this time, Sun Jian'an's face had changed, but he didn't dare to say anything. He could only raise his hand and touch his nose.

"Didn't his lover tell him where he was going?"

"They said... Director Sun's wife said... Director Sun went to play cards with Deputy Director Zhang of the General Factory's Logistics Department."

Yang Xiaodong's stuttering caught Su Xiaomin's attention. He bet that Director Sun from the Security Department was definitely not going to play cards.

He turned his head to look at Sun Jianan, who was already a little uneasy standing, and asked, "Chief Su, when you said you went out to pick up Director Sun from your main factory, did you go to the home of Deputy Director Zhang of the Logistics Department?"

"Uh... no." Sun Jianan hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth, but he also had a secret to hide.

"Director Sun told his wife that he was going to play cards, but because Deputy Director Zhang was not at home, he went to another friend's house. I found him at that friend's house."

Su Xiaomin looked at Sun Jianan deeply. He felt that this Section Chief Sun seemed to be very familiar with Director Sun of the general factory.

Both of them have the surname Sun, it can't be...

"What's the name of Director Sun of your factory's security department?"

"My name is Sun Jiping."

"Are you two brothers?"

"Yes, he is my brother."

"No wonder!" Su Xiaomin nodded in sudden realization. No wonder when Sun Jian'an talked about Director Sun, it gave people a feeling that the two were very familiar with each other.

I told my wife that we were going to this place to play cards, but we actually went to another place. Friend?

Ha ha!

He was sure that this friend was of the opposite sex.

But this is none of his business. He is only responsible for investigating the case. As long as it is not involved in the case, he will not ask about other matters.

"Comrade Yang Xiaodong, after calling Director Sun, did you call anyone else?"

"Yes, Tianqi needed to make a lot of calls, so I helped make a few."

Seeing that Su Xiaomin didn't continue to ask about his brother, Sun Jianan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"How many did you hit?"

"Well... four or five. I called from the bottom up using our office's phone number list."

"Have you contacted all the people you contacted?"

"We've made contact."

"Let me ask it another way. Did they answer the phone themselves, or did you ask their family members to convey the message?"

"No one relayed the message. I answered the phone myself."

"Comrade Yang Xiaodong, we are investigating the case. You must be responsible for what you say."

"It was really them who answered the phone themselves. I didn't lie." Yang Xiaodong was a little anxious.

"Okay, then you go in first."

Su Xiaomin just said that, he didn't really find out that Yang Xiaodong was lying or anything.

After receiving the notification, he checked the crime scene and made a few simple inquiries. Now he has basically figured out the overall context of the case.

First of all, based on the traces on the west courtyard wall, it can be judged that someone did climb over the wall tonight.

This person not only cut the barbed wire on the west courtyard wall, but also cut the protective net outside the windows on the west side of the corridor on the first floor of the office building.

But judging from the marks on the windowsill, the man did not come in through the gap after cutting the steel bars on the protective net outside the window.

The person didn't come in, but an important document was indeed lost in the confidential room on the third floor of the office building. This means that the person who climbed in from the outside and cut the protective net of the first-floor window was just making a show to disrupt the investigators' vision.

The person who was actually responsible for stealing the things might have been hiding in the office building for a long time.

But there is a question here. Where did the person who was responsible for stealing the information go after he succeeded?
Could this person still be hiding in the office building?
Su Xiaomin thought that probably wouldn't happen.

The perpetrator should be very clear that once the cut steel bar of the protective net was discovered by the patrolling security personnel, they would definitely seal off the office building and check every room.

In this way, he couldn't hide in the building at all.

This building has only one exit, and every office window has a protective net, so it is not easy to get out.

Ok?
Rooftop?

Su Xiaomin raised his head and looked towards the roof of the office building. Because it was night, the moonlight was not bright, and he could only see the roof vaguely.

Seeing him look up, Sun Jianan also looked over.

"Director Su, your people just came over and went up. The roof of our building is usually locked. Except when repairing the roof waterproofing, no one is allowed to go up there casually.

Your people checked before going up and confirmed that the cover had not been opened for a long time. There was nothing on the roof, so it was obvious whether there was anyone standing there or not. "

"Deputy Director Su, I went up there to check before you came over, and I really didn't find anything."

After Sun Jianan finished speaking, the recorder who had been following behind and taking notes also spoke. He came here earlier.

After hearing what the two said, Su Xiaomin didn't say anything, but just looked away.

Now that the rooftop has been ruled out, he still has great trust in his subordinates. Since they say there is no problem, then there must be no problem.

In that case, where is the person who stole the information?
Did you leave the office building after stealing?

"Chief Sun, can you be sure that after the incident was discovered, no one else came out of the office building except the people from your security department?"

"Uh... Director Su, before I rode my bike to pick up our director, I gave them an order to keep an eye on it. I didn't hear anyone coming out."

Hey, this is going to be interesting.

Just when Su Xiaomin was about to continue asking something, he saw a man running hurriedly over from the office building. It was the person he had just arranged to go over and re-check the office building.

"Deputy Director Su..."

"What's wrong?" Looking at his men running over in a hurry, Su Xiaomin frowned slightly.

"We found some issues with one of the office windows on the east side of the first floor."

"what is the problem?"

Upon hearing that a problem was found on the window, Su Xiaomin did not hesitate and walked towards the office building, not forgetting to ask Sun Jianan to follow him.

"This office is located on the south side of the office building, with the door facing north and the windows facing south. There are also steel bar guardrails on the windows, but unlike the windows outside, the steel bar guardrails on the office windows are embedded in the window frames.

When we checked just now, we found that the guardrail on the window of this office can be pulled out. "

"Can it be pulled out?" Su Xiaomin was slightly stunned after hearing his subordinate's explanation.

The protective railings of this type of window are usually installed when the window frame is made, and then the window frame is fixed. Because the window frame is made of wood, the installed steel railings will definitely shake over time. But under normal circumstances, it is basically impossible to remove the railings without damaging the window frame.

There is also a situation where it can be taken down, that is, the railing is short. When it is placed there, it looks fine. You can shake it up and down and take it out with a little effort, and you can also put it back in the same way. It is really not easy for people who don’t know to find it with their eyes.
