Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 468 Surprise
"Hey, Xiao Min, you have a visitor at home!"

"Yes, Sister Wang, it's the weekend now, so I invited a few friends to come over."

"Why don't you see any laughter or joy in your family? My guy just came over to look for them."

"Zhi Hai picked him up yesterday afternoon."

"I was wondering why the kids weren't there. Turns out they went to their godfather's house."

As soon as he got off the bus, Luo Min was stopped by a passing lady and they chatted for a few words.

As the elder sister spoke, her eyes scanned the crowd except Li Yancheng like a radar.

When she saw Cheng Jianwen, who was wearing sunglasses, coming down from the passenger seat, and Fu Shuyi, who came down from the back seat, she was visibly stunned.

Cheng Jianwen was wearing sunglasses. Although his eyes were blocked and his specific appearance could not be seen clearly, his mouth shape and profile were still quite clear.

Sister Wang grew up in Meishan East Hutong. Her parents’ home and her husband’s home are both in the next-door Yard No. 19. She is only two years older than Li Yancheng, and they can be said to have grown up together and are very familiar with each other.

With just one glance, she could conclude that the man wearing sunglasses must look very similar to Li Yancheng.

Let's talk about Fu Shuyi. Although the two sons she gave birth to look like their father, they also have a lot of their mother's facial features in them. If you look closely, they are still somewhat similar.

Thinking about Li Yancheng's life experience, in just a moment, Sister Wang could almost conclude that she had found her relative.

Sister Wang was very tactful. She didn't ask anything. After saying a few simple words to Luo Min, she just looked deeply at old lady Fu Shuyi and Cheng Jianwen and left.

Although people often drove over to visit the Li family in Yard 20, it was still unusual to see three cars parked at the gate at once, which aroused great interest among the neighbors in the alley.

Today is Sunday, and most people are resting at home. Not many people come to say hello, and they all look over here from afar.

Although Li Yancheng grew up in the hutong and all the older neighbors knew him, as his current position became higher and higher, an invisible barrier inevitably formed between him and everyone.

This gap cannot be eliminated, but will become more and more obvious over time.

Now, when the elderly neighbors in the alley see Li Yancheng, they can still greet him warmly and chat with him, because they have watched him grow up, they have the mentality of an elder and they especially like talking to him.

After a few more years, when these old neighbors have passed away one after another, when it comes to Li Yancheng's generation, or the next generation, except for some people with whom he has always had a good relationship, other people will at most smile and nod when they see him. Even if they want to talk to him, they may not be able to find any suitable topic.

Alone and widowed, as his status gets higher and higher in the future, he will be able to understand the true meaning of these two words.

Watching Li Yancheng walk over and open the door with the key, a hint of surprise flashed in Fu Shuyi's eyes.

Although she had not been in China in recent years, she had heard that most of these courtyard houses were later confiscated and distributed to the homeless people.

Several households live in each courtyard, and some large courtyards even have more than a dozen or even dozens of households. The courtyards are untidy due to illegal constructions, and there is no trace of the leisurely feeling of the courtyard houses in the past, where one could form a world of one's own behind closed doors.

Although she didn't know how big the courtyard in front of her was with the sign No. 20 Meishan East Hutong, she had heard before that there was no courtyard with only one entrance in Meishan East Hutong. The smallest courtyards were all two-entry courtyards, covering an area of ​​several hundred square meters.

Judging from the fact that his eldest son took out his own key to open the door, it is very likely that he is the only family living in this yard. If there were other families living here, it would be impossible for them to lock the door in broad daylight, and everyone having to take out their own key to open the door would have to go in and out, which would be very troublesome.

The family lived in a courtyard house with two entrances, hiss...

Fu Shuyi found that she was becoming increasingly confused about her eldest son.

She originally thought that he must have suffered a lot here over the years. She was very familiar with the situation here. After coming here this time, she had been thinking about how to compensate her eldest son. Now it seems that it is not what she thought.

My eldest son’s family seems to be doing very well!

Once the gate opened and she stepped into the yard, her suspicions were confirmed.

"Jiansheng, are you the only one living in this yard?"

"Yes, there were other residents in the yard originally. Their units all built family buildings. If they want to live in family buildings, they can't have other properties outside. Because we got this yard early, it was privately owned. At that time, I asked someone to help me buy it all and tidied it up."

"Your unit doesn't have a family building?"

"Yes, but I don't really like living in a building. I still feel more secure and down to earth living in a courtyard like this."

Li Yancheng led everyone to the backyard with a smile and into the living room of the main house.

When in the yard, Fu Shuyi just felt that her eldest son knew how to enjoy life and had tidied up the yard very beautifully. After entering the living room and seeing the furniture placed there, her eyes almost popped out.

Cheng Jianwen and Hao Yushi also had the same feeling as her.

Wow, a room full of furniture made of Dalbergia odorifera (Hainan Huanghuali) is pretty good.

The staff from the foreign affairs department who came with them didn't have any special reaction when they saw the furniture in the room. After all, although sets of this kind of furniture are rare nowadays, individual ones can still be found and the prices are not expensive.

Just like the set of eight Huanghuali carved armchairs and an octagonal table. When Li Yancheng bought this set a few years ago, he only spent about a hundred yuan.

That's it, and it's only expensive because this set comes as a complete set. If you buy them individually and put together a set yourself, you may not even spend a hundred dollars.

People in China don’t feel anything about this thing, but the three people from the Cheng family don’t think so.

At the beginning of the year, a set of Huanghuali furniture was auctioned in Hong Kong Island. It consisted of an octagonal table with four official hat chairs. In terms of quality, it was far inferior to the Li family's set, but it was still sold for more than 100,000 US dollars.

The Huanghuali furniture placed in the Li family's living room includes not only tables and chairs, but also other items. At first glance, they are all old items. Judging from the carving craftsmanship of the patterns, they are a set.

Looking at the huanghuali furniture in the living room, Cheng Jianwen grimaced as if he had a toothache.

It's not that he can't afford it, it's just a few hundred thousand US dollars, which is nothing to him. The key is that it's hard to find a complete set.

Isn’t it said that life in the country is difficult? What the hell is this?

He hasn't gone to see other rooms yet. If he sees that the other rooms are furnished with either sets of huanghuali furniture, or red sandalwood, and a few pieces of golden nanmu, it's hard to tell what he would think.

These furniture were bought by Li Yancheng from trust stores and private individuals in the past few years, like an ant moving house.

He has no intention of building a furniture museum in the future. He bought these furniture because he clearly knows their future value.

He thought for his children that if he ran out of money in the future, he could just sell any of these pieces of furniture to ensure they would have a life without worries about food and clothing.

His children will definitely not be able to do business in the future. At most they can work in a state-owned enterprise.

But there are too many temptations in this world, especially when he knows how important money is. How many people have fallen for it, like leeks, after you harvest one crop, another crop comes.

He doesn't want his children to fall into this trap in the future.

Therefore, when he still had the ability, he wanted to do everything well and pave the way for them so that they would not have to bow down for a few pieces of silver in the future.

I bought a courtyard house, Ming and Qing dynasty furniture, antiques whose authenticity is still unknown, and some prescriptions that could be used to exchange for shares in the future.

He did all of this for the sake of his children.

You can say that parents are pitiful, or that they are shackles that they put on themselves, but if possible, which parent doesn't want to leave the best to their children? Even if he is reborn as a human, Li Yancheng cannot avoid this traditional idea.

……

After a long wait all night, at 11 o'clock in the morning on the 7th, Su Xiaomin finally received the test report from the laboratory.

Looking at the conclusions in the report, Su Xiaomin's brows were furrowed into a "川" shape.

First of all, the report stated that after dismantling the three locks on the two doors of the confidential room, it was ruled out that the three locks had been opened by foreign objects.

In other words, the keys to open the three locks were the matching keys. This conclusion was consistent with their conclusion last night, so there was nothing to say. What made Su Xiaomin frown was the second point.

After testing the soil composition in the green belt outside the office building, the dust on the floor in the corridors of the office building, the dust on the floor of the personnel archive room on the first floor with an open protective net, and the dust on the floor of the confidential room on the third floor.

The soil composition in the green belt outside the office building appeared in the personnel archive room, the corridor on the first floor, and the stairs from the first floor to the second floor, but...

The soil composition on the stairs leading to the third floor was not tested positive for this substance, and the soil in the corridor on the third floor and the confidential room were also not tested positive for this substance.

This conclusion has two consequences.

First, the dust brought in from the green belt on the feet of the person who came in to steal things had already been rubbed off on the ground when he walked up the stairs leading to the second floor, so there was no same soil composition left behind.

The second point is worth pondering, that is, this person was also just pretending. After he walked to the stairs leading to the second floor from the first floor, he did not continue to go up, but turned around and walked back.

But is it necessary to leave two places to create confusion when stealing something?

Moreover, if it was a deliberate attempt to confuse the person, why did they use keys to open the three locks? Wouldn't it be better to just pry them open, which would create more confusion?

Could it be that the criminal wanted them to turn their attention to the insider?

Su Xiaomin fell into deep thought.

As for suspects, he had two in mind: one was Chen Dayou, director of the confidential room, and the other was the security guard in the data manager's room.

Because they were the only two who had the keys to the three locks on the two doors of the confidential room.

Other staff members in the confidential room had no access to it at all.

Now, after a night's hard work, the investigators have basically completed all the whereabouts that needed to be investigated, and no obvious problems have been found.

In other words, no one at the Iron and Steel Research Institute, from the director to the ordinary employees, had the time to commit a crime last night, especially Chen Dayou and Fang Baoan. They were busy from the time they got off work to the time they watched the movie, and then when they went home after the movie until they were called over. There were witnesses who proved that they did not behave in any unusual manner.

From this perspective, this case is most likely a case of collusion between insiders and outsiders, where someone gave the key to an outsider and allowed that person to steal the information.

But Su Xiaomin also thought of two possibilities, that is, the information was not lost last night.

What happened last night, whether it was the guardrail outside the west window on the first floor being cut off, or someone coming in from outside the personnel archives room, were all feints to cover up the person who actually stole the information.

Or maybe, these were simply two different groups of thieves. One group had already stolen the information, while the other group was unaware of it, so they came to steal last night, but unexpectedly came up empty-handed.

No matter which possibility it is, it all points to collusion between insiders and outsiders. To be more precise, someone in the confidential room colluded with people outside, or to put it more bluntly, it was one of Chen Dayou and Fang Baoan.

"Snapped"

Putting down the test report in his hand, Su Xiaomin stood up and walked out of his office and came to the outside of the interrogation room.

Chen Dayou and Fang Baoan were the most suspicious. After he was basically sure that the others had no time to commit the crime, and after communicating with the leaders of Jinggang and the Steel Research Institute, he brought the two back to avoid disturbing the normal work of Jinggang and the Steel Research Institute.

Standing outside the interrogation room, he looked inside the house through the glass on the door. After taking a few glances, he was about to push the door open when he heard footsteps in the stairwell at the end of the corridor.

Su Xiaomin turned his head and saw a figure walking out from the stairwell. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the person was a representative of the organization that cooperated with the Iron and Steel Research Institute.

After seeing Su Xiaomin, this person quickly quickened his pace.

"Deputy Director Su, I was just about to go to your office to look for you."

"Is there anything I can do for you, Director Li?"

Although the Third Bureau where Su Xiaomin works and the organization where Secretary Li works are both affiliated with the military, they are completely two systems. This cooperation with Jinggang was just a coincidence and it was a one-time deal.

Under normal circumstances, this agency doesn't have much work that needs to be kept strictly confidential. If it weren't for this case, it can be said that there would be no possibility of intersection at all.

Because they are not the kind of unit that develops equipment in the traditional sense.

If it is a unit that develops equipment, then there will be many opportunities to deal with the Third Bureau. After all, there are many eyes staring at this kind of unit, and they are eager to spy on the secrets within it.

Su Xiaomin looked at Director Li who was walking over with some confusion. He had said everything that needed to be said. What remained was to solve the case and try to recover the information. He couldn't figure out what this person wanted from him.

"Deputy Director Su, can I have a moment with you? Director Wang asked me to bring you a few words."

Hearing this, Su Xiaomin looked deeply at Officer Li who came close to him, nodded and said, "Come to my office."

After saying that, he turned and walked to the other side of the corridor, where there was a stairwell leading to the executive floor above.

"Deputy Director Su, our Director Wang asked me to tell you..."

As soon as he entered the office, Secretary Li couldn't wait to speak.

"That information is not important. The focus of your three bureaus in solving this case does not need to be on recovering the information. As long as you can catch the criminal, that's enough."

???

At this moment, Su Xiaomin was a little suspicious whether there was something wrong with his ears.

What nonsense is this?
Information is not important?
Do you want to hear what is being said?

"Secretary Li, I don't quite understand what you mean." Su Xiaomin frowned even deeper.

"You said...the information is not important?"

Officer Li explained with a bitter look on his face: "Deputy Director Su, to be honest, I don't quite understand what our leader means. What I told you are the original words of our Director Wang."

"Is that so, Director Li..." Su Xiaomin thought for a moment, then said, "Is Comrade Jianhu in the office? I'll call him."

Wang Jianhu is the leader of the organization where Director Li works.

"Deputy Director Su, our Director Wang has gone to attend a meeting. He just took advantage of the break to have someone find me and tell me those words.

If you want to contact our Director Wang, you can only wait until the evening. After the meeting is over, he will go home to rest at night. "

"Okay." Su Xiaomin nodded. "Then I'll call him tonight and ask him to explain to me clearly what he means by that document is unimportant."

He felt that Wang Jianhu was just talking nonsense, so how could he report the case to his superiors?

After sending Officer Li away, he came to the interrogation room again with doubts in his heart. This time, he did not look at the door, but pushed it open and walked in.

In the room, Chen Dayou knew nothing about the questions and his face was full of innocence. With a bang, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open from outside, which scared him.

When he turned around and saw who came in and the serious look on his face, he shut up his mouth, which had been chattering non-stop.

He seemed a little afraid to look Su Xiaomin in the eye. After just one glance, he quickly looked away. He did not look so natural. Under the high-wattage light bulb in the room, his face changed from blue to red.

Walking to the recorder, Su Xiaomin reached out and picked up the notebook, glanced at it, and then threw it back on the table.

"Chen Dayou"

"Director Su"

After hearing Su Xiaomin calling him, Chen Dayou looked over again, but it was obvious that his eyes were still a little evasive, and he looked much more nervous than before.

"You told me that, besides you and the security guard in the data management room, only the main factory has the spare key to the door of your confidential room. Now it can be proved that the spare key stored in the main factory has not been touched for at least a year, but the thieves who went to steal things used the keys to open two doors. Can you help me analyze what happened?"
