Travel through famine years and awaken a post-apocalyptic survival system.

After Gao Dazhi came out, he looked at the bewildered Wang Ying and gave him a thumbs up.

Zhao Qingsong smiled and said, "Alright, let's go to the police station first! You take him there, I'll follow behind!"

"OK!"

Gao Dazhi agreed, let Wang Ying get on the bicycle, and rode off first.

Zhao Qingsong followed behind, jogging along.

But they lost track of it in no time.

……

Zhao Qingsong didn't know the address of the police station, so he asked around and finally arrived at the police station.

It's not far from his house at all.

"The pine tree!"

Gao Dazhi greeted him when he saw him coming.

"Hello, Chief Yang!"

Zhao Qingsong came over, greeted Yang with a smile, and said they had just met that morning.

The other person sized him up, then looked at Gao Dazhi and laughed, "This kid's something else! He noticed such a small detail, impressive. Our first reaction was to guess, but we didn't expect him to actually dare to scare people and actually pull it out!"

Gao Dazhi laughed and said, "I didn't expect it either! Luckily, it worked out."

"Hmm, not bad, not bad!"

Seeing this, Zhao Qingsong smiled and said, "Chief Yang, have you started the interrogation?"

"Yes, they're interrogating us. Do you want to listen in?"

"Sure!"

Zhao Qingsong agreed, and the group went to the interrogation room together.

Inside the room, two people were interrogating someone, and they immediately stood at attention when they saw someone enter.

"Commander Yang!"

Yang Qingwu gestured and said, "Don't worry about us, you do your interrogation."

"Okay, sure!"

The other party agreed, smiled and nodded to Gao Dazhi and the other person, and then sat down again.

He slammed his hand on the table: "Think carefully about what else you have to say. If you lie again this time, you'll be an accomplice and will be dealt with the same way."

Wang Ying's expression changed, and she hurriedly pleaded, "I really didn't lie. Li Hongwei is the manager of the scrap warehouse. They took the scrap out and sold it together. I really don't know anything else. I can't control whether he leaves or not."

……

The interrogation continues.

More than an hour later, the interrogation ended, and the group left the room and went to the director's office.

Yang Qingwu looked at the two men and smiled as he extended his hand: "Fortunately, this young comrade! Otherwise, the real culprit might have gotten away with it. Alright, the general situation is fine now. Next, we still need to investigate Jia Fugui's death. I have already notified your section chief that they will arrest Li Hongwei."

Gao Dazhi smiled and extended his hand: "Okay! Then we'll head back first."

"good!"

Just as the other party agreed, the phone on the table rang.

"I'm taking this call."

Yang Qingwu greeted them and answered the phone.

He started with a smile, then frowned and said, "Dead? Okay, I got it. I'll go there right now."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

"What's wrong, Chief Yang?"

Gao Dazhi noticed his expression and sensed something was wrong.

After hanging up the phone, Yang said, "Li Hongwei went to the security department to turn himself in, confessed everything, and then committed suicide by poisoning himself there."

"What?"

Gao Dazhi looked shocked.

Even Zhao Qingsong was shocked. He committed suicide?

"Yes! Let's go, I'll go take a look too!"

After Yang finished speaking, he picked up the woolen hat from the table, put it on, and urged her to hurry up.

Seeing this, Gao Dazhi quickly followed.

The three of them rode two bicycles together to the steel mill.

……

Security Department.

After the three returned, they went straight to the interrogation room.

Sun Guodong, Wu Zhiqiang, and several others were in the interrogation room.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in his fifties was lying on the ground. He had a large frame and was foaming at the mouth.

The air was filled with a pungent smell.

"Section Chief Sun, what's going on?"

After Yang arrived, he asked anxiously.

Sun Guodong said seriously, "Li Hongwei came to turn himself in and confessed everything. He and Jia Fugui had been reselling factory supplies together. Yesterday, they got into a fight over the division of the spoils and accidentally killed someone."

He had initially hoped for the best, but Jia Fugui's wife revealed everything, so he came to turn himself in. Then he sent us away and committed suicide by poisoning himself! When they found him, he was already dead; he had ingested dichlorvos.

Yang sighed: "We've caught him, but he's dead. Any questions?"

"No, Zhou Wenlong and I interrogated them ourselves!"

Wu Zhiqiang spoke up.

Zhou Wenlong nodded slightly: "Yes! There are records, and they put my fingerprints on them."

Upon hearing this, Yang went to the scene to investigate.

Zhao Qingsong also went over to check.

There was no fighting, and since this is the security department, there shouldn't be anything fishy going on.

It just puzzled him.

Are people in this era so concerned about saving face?

He committed suicide?

Bringing himself back to reality, he looked up and asked, "Section Chief! Does he have family?"

Sun Guodong shook his head: "No, he's all alone. He fled here when Northeast China fell to the Japanese, and later, when Beiping fell, he was arrested and put in the factory. It's not a secret there. His only relative is his older brother's family in Northeast China, but they haven't been in contact for years, so we can rule out the possibility of him being threatened!"

Zhao Qingsong hummed in agreement.

Looking at Li Hongwei's expression.

That expression... why does it look so strange?

It's not painful!

On the contrary, it looks like a liberation!

Is it guilt in one's heart, the feeling that one will no longer feel guilty if one dies?

He shook his head and didn't say anything.

After a long while, Director Yang finally spoke: "Then, let's summarize this case in the next couple of days and close it down."

"Okay, the factory will make an announcement once the case is closed."

"good!"

After Yang finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Qingsong and smiled, "This kid's got potential! Not bad, train him well, he's a good prospect. Your steel plant has a lot of talent, if he doesn't work out, give him to our department!"

Sun Guodong rolled his eyes: "How could that be!"

Regardless of whether Zhao Qingsong is a talented person or not, he cannot release him at this time.

It's embarrassing.

"Hehe, I was just saying. You guys handle this first! I'll go back and contact their neighborhood office. The funeral has to be done. We also need to investigate the Jia family."

"good!"

That's settled then.

Yang then hurriedly left.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Sun Guodong said to Wu Zhiqiang, "Zhiqiang, take some men and deal with the body. Then go to his house and do a thorough search to see if there's anything else suspicious."

"good!"

Wu Zhiqiang agreed and started working.

Sun Guodong looked at Zhao Qingsong and said, "Young man, not bad. You've done a great job. If it weren't for you, that old guy might have really run away."

Before he could speak, she said directly, "Perfect, this year's promotion spot is yours!"

"What?"

His words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

"Section Chief, this spot is mine!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qiang immediately asked with dissatisfaction.

Sun Guodong frowned slightly: "Who told you that? The department has been discussing who should get it these past few days. Zhao Qingsong has done a great service for the department, so what's wrong with giving him a spot?"

"I……"

Xu Qiang choked. He couldn't very well say that Wu Zhiqiang had said it!

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhiqiang coughed lightly: "That's right, merit should be rewarded, but... Zhao Qingsong just joined the company, not even a year yet. Is it appropriate to promote him now?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. My soldiers deserve a reward for their service. It's settled then. I'll explain things to the factory management. Alright, that's all!"

After saying that, he left.

The crowd was left looking at each other in bewilderment.
