Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 617 Investigation
"Director Wang, could you please provide us with the information on these two individuals?"

"No problem," Director Wang readily agreed, then cautiously asked, "Director Tian, ​​please forgive me for being nosy, but may I ask what those two people are up to?"

As soon as he finished asking, he felt something was amiss and hurriedly explained, "Director Tian, ​​it's not that I insist on asking, but they're not from our bureau. If something happens here, I'll have to give the municipal bureau an explanation."

“I understand.” Tian Linjun nodded. “But Director Wang, while I understand, I can’t tell you the specific reason why you need those two people’s information for the time being.”

Besides, we only need their information, not that they've actually broken the law. Director Wang, please don't overthink it.

If they really have any issues, we will definitely inform your organization of the details.

It's not necessarily illegal?
Director Wang didn't believe that at all. If he didn't suspect those two of having something going on, why would they come to his office on Sunday to ask for some documents? Wouldn't it have been more convenient for them to come to the office tomorrow?

However, since the people from the Social Affairs Bureau had already said so much, he certainly couldn't ask any more questions. So he nodded and said, "How about this, Director Tian, ​​I'll call our office director right now and have him go to the bureau and get the information on those two people."

Their personnel files are with the Municipal Bureau, not with us. We only have partial information here.

"No need to ask someone to get it," Tian Linjun waved his hand and said, "I'll ask you a few questions, and you can answer them."

"Uh...that works too."

"What are the names of those two people?"

"One is named Zheng Fan, and the other is named Liu Mulin."

How old are these two people?

"Zheng Fan is 28 this year, and Liu Mulin is a bit older, around 30. They both took the college entrance examination in 1977 as educated youth, but I don't know exactly where they were sent to work in the countryside. It wasn't written in the information transferred from the Municipal Bureau."

Are they married?

"Zheng Fan doesn't have one yet, but he's dating someone, a classmate from his university days. It's said they've already met each other's parents and are discussing marriage. After graduating from university, the girl was assigned to work in the city's publicity department."

Liu Mulin was married, but the records show he's divorced. I don't know the specifics, since he's not part of our bureau; he's just here for training and will return to the city bureau in a year at most. So I've never asked about these things.

Where do these two people live?

"Zheng Fan is from Rouhuai, while Liu Mulin's family is from Taifeng."

A look of surprise flashed across Tian Linjun's face. This Director Wang seemed to be quite something.

These two people were just sent down from the municipal bureau for training, yet he remembered their information so clearly. Why is that?

"Director Wang, I have something to say that I'm not sure if I should ask."

"Please ask!" Although it was a bit strange that Director Tian would ask such an irrelevant question out of the blue, Director Wang still agreed.

"Director Wang, why do you remember the information about two people who were just training in your bureau so clearly?"

???

Comrade Lao Wang opened his mouth as if to say something, but no sound came out.

He was caught off guard by Director Tian's abrupt questions and didn't know what to say. It took him a while to come to his senses and answer hesitantly.

"Uh... Director Tian, ​​I'm not just memorizing their information, I'm memorizing the information of everyone in our bureau..."

At this point, Director Wang raised his hand and tapped his forehead twice.

"It's all here."

I rub!

Tian Linjun almost blurted out a curse.

Do you remember everyone's information?
Although it is only the Civil Affairs Bureau of Chengdong District, because it has many subordinate units, the entire Civil Affairs Bureau has at least 500 people, including temporary workers.

Can you remember all of them?

This person must be a deity!

However, he only stood there stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. He hadn't forgotten why he had come here today.

He was actually wrong. This Director Wang was indeed different from ordinary leaders, but he wasn't so powerful as to be "inhuman".

The personnel information he could remember only included the hundred or so people in the bureau headquarters, not those in the subordinate units.

This is just a personal habit of his.

Of course, this habit is very good, unlike some leaders who have worked in a unit for several years and can't even remember the names of many people, let alone their subordinates' information.

"Director Wang, do you know the detailed home addresses of Zheng Fan and Liu Mulin?"

"I really don't know," Director Wang shook his head. "It's definitely in the personnel files at the municipal bureau."

"They've been with your bureau for almost three months now. Do you know anything about their daily lives?"

"Director Tian, ​​I really don't know about that," Director Wang said, shaking his head.

That's normal. As long as the subordinate hasn't made any mistakes, it's impossible for a leader to pay too much attention to a subordinate's private life, especially since these two people are just here for training.

Next, Tian Linjun asked a few more questions, but seeing that he couldn't get any more information, he reiterated the confidentiality regulations to Comrade Wang and then left Director Wang's house with his subordinates.

"Xiao Zhang, what do you think?"

After getting into the car, Tian Linjun lit a cigarette for himself and then looked at his subordinate who had been taking notes and asked a question.

When questioned by his supervisor, Xiao Zhang first glanced down at what he had just taken notes, then looked up and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile, "Director Tian, ​​I... I didn't find any problems."

"It's good that no problem has been found. If it were that simple, and the problem could be discovered just by asking other people, then that person wouldn't have been able to hide it so well."

As he spoke, Tian Linjun started the car.

"However, our trip wasn't entirely fruitless. At the very least, it proved that Director Li Yancheng's feeling was correct; there are indeed people in that direction."

Xiao Zhang's heart skipped a beat. That's right, the main reason they came here was to verify whether anyone was in that building on the weekend. Now that they had achieved their goal, the next thing to do was to investigate those two people.

"Director Tian, ​​I know what to do next."

"Okay, when you get back, contact the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau and retrieve the detailed files of Zheng Fan and Liu Mulin, but be sure to keep it confidential."

After replying "Yes," Xiao Zhang asked, "Director Tian, ​​should we make contact with those two?"

"No, let's not make any contact for now. We'll finish the initial investigation first before discussing anything else."

"I understand."

……

The man was unaware that he had only glanced out the window yesterday, but that single glance had already revealed his presence.

The problem lies in the overwhelming emotions contained in that single glance; otherwise, Li Yancheng wouldn't have been able to sense them. After all, he had been observing his target for quite some time, and nothing had gone wrong before.

Li Yancheng's perception ability only applies when someone is showing him malice. If someone just looks at him like a stranger, he won't react.

That person is still figuring out how to win over the target.

Incentives, that's for sure.

But what advantage should be used?

For men, it's nothing more than wealth, power, and sex.

He had already ruled out lust in his heart.

He had seen Luo Min before. With such a beautiful woman by his side, and based on his observation, the couple had a very good relationship. He didn't think Li Yancheng would be interested in other worthless people.

Therefore, the color can be crossed out.

That leaves only power and wealth.

right?
Thinking about this, he shook his head with a smile, thinking it was even more absurd.

Who could provide him with even greater assistance than his father-in-law?

So, after much thought, all that's left is money.

Through his observations over the past two months, he could tell that the target was a person who valued quality of life, which was evident from the clothing and appearance of the family of four.

The clothes for the Li family of four, from the inside out, were all handmade by Li Yancheng himself. Although he didn't deliberately create any trendy patterns, the well-fitting cuts and appropriate styles, even though they were just ordinary designs, made the clothes look pleasing to the eye when worn by the family of four.

Another key factor that makes others think their family values ​​quality of life is that all four of them seem to always wear new clothes.

In this era, ordinary families might not be able to make two new sets of clothes in a year, and they would usually prioritize their children. Many families would wear new clothes for three years, then old clothes for three years, and then patched and mended for another three years. Some even had patches upon patches on their clothes.

It's not that the Li family is constantly making new clothes. Li Yancheng and his wife do have high salaries, that's true, but not high enough to allow them to squander money at will.

It's just that, firstly, no matter who goes out to buy fabric, Li Yancheng or Luo Min will always choose the best material; secondly, their clothes are washed in a washing machine, not by hand.

This isn't just something I said offhand; it's true.

In those days, due to the quality of the fabric, clothes were mostly worn out not from wearing them out, but from washing them out, especially the cuffs, collars, elbows, and front of the garments, and for pants, the back of the buttocks, knees, and hems.

Back then, clothes were mostly hand-washed. If you couldn't get them clean by hand, you'd scrub them on a washboard, and it was quite normal for them to get worn out.

What if it's broken? You patch it up.

But if you use a washing machine, you don't have to worry about these things. After each wash and drying, Luo Min will iron the clothes with an electric iron. That's why the Li family looks like they are wearing new clothes.

What does a high quality of life correspond to? Of course, it means spending more money.

The man sat on the sofa in the room, pondering carefully.

He not only knew that the Li family was particular about their clothes and appearance, but he also knew that Li Yancheng had bought a large courtyard in Ya'er Hutong and was currently renovating it, using precious wood.

It is said that the intention is to restore the courtyard to the appearance of a former royal palace, which would cost a fortune.

He didn't believe that the couple's salaries could afford to build a royal palace; it was no small sum. Yet they dared to do it. Was that...?

Judging from his own experience, he felt that the money the target person had used to buy the courtyard, or the money they planned to use to renovate it, must have come from illegitimate sources.

And that's how the opportunity to lure people in with money was created.

call……

He let out a long breath, got up and walked outside. He was going to contact the person behind him, tell them his plan, and try to get their approval.

correct!

He stopped after taking only two steps.

How much money should we apply for from above?
Also, how can I make contact with the target person?

Are we really going to just come knocking on their door like this?
No, he didn't think it was a good idea. Just showing up like that, even if he could see the person, as long as he dared to explain his purpose, there would be no other possibility for him but to be arrested.

so what should I do now?
This left him feeling lost for a time.

How to give money in a way that makes the recipient accept it without any reservations is an art.

First, there must be a middleman who is very familiar with the target. Second, the middleman must be able to persuade the middleman.

This……

He raised his hand and scratched his hair in frustration.

Ok?
He had barely scratched twice when a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

Zhu Yongyang, by the way, he's the target's old classmate, and they've maintained a good relationship over the years. Contacting him is a good option.

As for how to persuade this guy, that's not a problem he needs to consider. He can leave it to the person behind him. He only needs to state the plan, and how to implement it is someone else's business.

He let out a soft breath, then walked to the door, opened it, and went out.

A moment later, he appeared at the post office not far from his workplace, made a phone call, paid a bill, and walked out of the post office in less than two minutes.

After coming out, he didn't rush back. Instead, he stood by the roadside, lit a cigarette, and looked around aimlessly.

Unbeknownst to him, two pairs of eyes were watching him from a grain and oil store not far behind him.

"Director Tian, ​​this person is Liu Mulin."

After staring at Liu Mulin's back for a while, Tian Linjun turned to his subordinate and instructed, "Go to the post office and check where his phone call went."

"Yes"

Five minutes later, the person returned through the back door.

"Director Tian, ​​there's another post office across the street, located in *** Street, Taifeng District."

Taifeng District?
Tian Linjun frowned. He remembered that the information provided by Director Wang of the Chengdong District Civil Affairs Bureau indicated that Liu Mulin's home was in Taifeng District.

Could it be that you called your family? And arranged a time with them in advance?
Thinking of this, he glanced down at his watch; it was 11:10. Liu Mulin must have made the call at exactly 11:00.

Never mind, let's check it out first.

"Take some people over there now and check if the sales clerk can still remember what the person who answered the phone looked like."

"Ok"
