Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

Page 46

In the afternoon, after Cao Xu entered the office, Zhao Dong delivered a document to him.

"Team leader, this review report needs your signature."

Cao Xu was filled with doubt upon hearing this. In the past two days, the fourth group had handled two cases: Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi.

Director Sun is in charge of Sha Zhu's case, and all the documents have been handed over to Yao Hao of Group One.

Sha Zhu has now been fired from the factory and fined a huge sum of 2,600 yuan.

He has already signed Jia Zhangshi's investigation report; he just needs to wait for the street office to send someone to deliver it when they open tomorrow.

Zhao Dong seemed to sense Cao Xu's question, so he placed the document on his desk and explained.

"It's about Qin Huairu's son, Jia Geng. During the investigation, the canteen staff mentioned that he had stolen oil, soy sauce, and salt multiple times."

“Jia Geng has been detained by the police station. Now that he has been implicated, according to the rules, we need to issue them an investigation report.”

Cao Xu glanced at the report and couldn't help but sigh, "What goes around comes around."

This time, his target was Shazhu, and he didn't take Banggeng, that brat, seriously at all.

Unexpectedly, this kid couldn't escape the law in the end, and was accidentally exposed by someone.

Cao Xu picked up the pen beside him and quickly signed his name.

"Zhao Dong, then you should make a trip and deliver this document to the local police station."

"Tell them that our factory will hold the relevant personnel accountable for this matter."

"Since Jia Geng is currently in their office, let's not mention him anymore to avoid unnecessary back-and-forth. Let them handle it together."

"Later, have his office give you a receipt, and then send the receipt directly to the finance department."

"Have the cafeteria calculate the losses and report them. Whether Qin Huairu pays the money herself or it's deducted from her salary is none of our business."

Zhao Dong responded, picked up the documents, and prepared to leave, but Cao Xu stopped him.

"Has Jia Zhangshi left?"

Zhao Dong replied.

"After the meeting, someone gave her a supplementary medical examination, she put her fingerprint on it, and then she was sent home."

Cao Xu tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, and after thinking for a moment, he said.

"Report it to me. I'm going out to take care of something, and I just happen to be passing by the police station. I'll deliver it to them."

Zhao Dong's face lit up with joy upon hearing this; he certainly didn't want to go out on fieldwork in this freezing weather.

Now that Cao Xu is going to deliver it, he couldn't be happier.

"Thank you, team leader, you've worked hard!"

Cao Xu slapped him on the head and laughed and scolded him.

"You little brat, don't try to play innocent after you've gotten a good deal."

"Keep an eye on the house. If anything happens, wait for me to come back and handle it."

Zhao Dongli stood at attention and saluted.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

After he finished speaking, Zhao Dong leaned closer and whispered.

"Team leader, shall I go find you a bicycle?"

Cao Xu refused.

"Forget it, I'm not even sure if I'll be back this afternoon, so let's not delay their journey home."

"It's not far, I'll walk there, it'll be good exercise."

The police station was only three miles away from the steel rolling mill, and Cao Xu arrived at the police station gate in no time.

After entering, Cao Xu showed his work ID to the police officer at the door and was then led into the office of Chief Wang of the police station.

When Director Wang saw Cao Xu enter, he put down his pen and greeted him very politely.

"Cao Xu, what brings you here today?"

Director Wang, whose full name is Wang Qiming, has a very good relationship with Yi Zhonghai.

He would often go to Yi Zhonghai for drinks and chats, so he knew Cao Xu as well.

"By the way, I heard you took over your dad's job and joined the security department."

"You're such a good student, why don't you continue your studies?"

"If you get into university, wouldn't our neighborhood be proud of you?"

Cao Xu was assigned to the security department, and this matter was handled by Wang Youyu.

Cao Xu's father worked in the factory's security department. Now that Cao Xu's father has sacrificed his life, Cao Xu has joined the security department.

To outsiders, Cao Xu was simply following in his father's footsteps.

Cao Xu chuckled and gave a perfunctory reply; he really couldn't be bothered to answer the question.

He can't exactly tell people that the college entrance exam will be canceled next year, so there's no point in studying now, can he?

"Director Wang, I'm here today to deliver an investigation report to you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiming frowned. The steel mill's security department sent them an investigation report. Could it be related to He Yuzhu?

But didn't they say this morning that they would give He Yuzhu a week to raise the money?

How could you change your mind so quickly?

"This is... He Yuzhu..."

Cao Xu knew that Wang Qiming had misunderstood, so he simply put the report on the table.

"It's not He Yuzhu's, it's Jia Geng's."

Wang Qiming took the report and began to read it.

"Jia Geng, is that the guy Jiang Hai brought back from your compound the night before last?"

Cao Xu said.

"it's him."

After reading the report, Wang Qiming closed his eyes. He knew that his promise to Yi Zhonghai had fallen through.

He could have managed to handle the chicken incident before, but after the steel mill's report arrived, he was powerless to change anything.

Stealing public property, even if it involves worthless items like soybean oil, soy sauce, and salt, is a different matter altogether.

If he were to step in and mediate, he would be unable to give the steel rolling mill an explanation.

If he lets the idiots run wild, and someone leaks the story, he'll be the one suffering the consequences.

“Okay, Cao Xu, go back and tell Director Sun that our police station will handle this matter officially and give the steel rolling mill an explanation.”

After exchanging a few polite words with Wang Qiming, Cao Xu left. Just as he stepped out of the police station, he ran into Jiang Hai, who was returning from outside.

"Cao Xu, what brings you to the police station? Has something happened in your compound again?"

"Since you're already here, have a cup of tea before you leave."

Cao Xu didn't have much affection for Jiang Hai, he said in a flat tone.

"Thanks, but I'll skip the tea. We can have it another day."

"I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, Cao Xu was about to leave when Jiang Hai quickly stepped forward and grabbed Cao Xu's arm.

"Cao Xu, don't leave yet, I have something to ask you."

Cao Xu pulled his arm away.

"You said."

Jiang Hai said in a low voice.

How's the rain these past couple of days?

Cao Xu said.
