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

Sun Guodong sized him up and laughed, "You're not modest at all, kid! Good, not bad! As long as you have the skills, you'll be going next week. Are you in? I'll give you a gun. Practice hard during this time."

"Okay, no problem. I can't guarantee anything big, but I guarantee you won't come empty-handed."

Zhao Qingsong smiled and made his promise.

"good!"

Zhao Guodong smiled and then said, "Alright, you guys should go back now and take a good shower."

The two smiled and agreed.

Gao Dazhi then gave the ransom and receipt to Sun Guodong.

The other party took the money and counted it: "Okay, I'll distribute the rest to the others later. These kids are benefiting from your help."

"Okay, then we'll be going now."

After exchanging greetings, the two returned to their respective departments.

……

"What's wrong with you guys?"

Old Liu was registering information inside when he saw the two of them and was surprised.

Gao Dazhi, like a victorious general, laughed and said, "What's wrong? I've made something of myself! We killed two big wild boars."

Huang Hai curled his lip: "You? Do you think I'd believe that?"

Gao Dazhi chuckled: "If you don't believe me, you won't get to eat any meat later!"

He repeated it again.

I also mentioned Zhao Qingsong's deeds.

Huang Hai, listening from behind, was stunned: "My god, I didn't realize you were so capable! Oh dear, I'm so regretful, I should have brought me along. We could have gotten four or five more pounds of meat!"

He looked regretful.

Gao Dazhi chuckled: "You're the one who wouldn't go! I'm getting a good deal. Alright, enough chatting, let's go to the section chief and get our meat tickets! Oh, and give us two bath tickets, let's go take a bath."

Upon hearing this, Huang Hai had already been yelling and rushing to collect his "meat ticket."

Old Liu, who was in charge of the department's supplies, smiled and handed them two tickets, not rushing to collect the meat coupons.

Then, as if remembering something, he said, "Oh, right, Jia Fugui's case might not be so simple."

Gao Dazhi asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Wasn't the case closed?"

Old Liu shook his head: "We were preparing to close the case, but this morning, the factory office received a tip-off that a lot of parts were missing from the warehouse. These parts, when put together, could be used to make a bomb!"

"What? Really? Who wrote it?"

Gao Dazhi was shocked.

"Based on the investigation and comparison, it should be Jia Fugui."

"Jia Fugui's handwriting?"

Gao Dazhi was also pondering this when he looked up and asked, "Why would he write a report? Isn't that accusing himself of theft? And tantamount to treason!"

Old Liu shook his head: "I'm not very clear on the specifics. This matter will probably need further investigation, but since Li Hongwei is dead, the trail has gone cold."

After saying that, he remembered something and said, "Here, take the ticket. I need to go get my meat. It's almost time for you guys to get off work. We can talk about it tomorrow."

He said hello and then left.

Gao Dazhi was left behind with a furrowed brow.

News of the successful hunt spread quickly throughout the department, and everyone rushed to the department head's office to redeem their meat vouchers.

……

Gao Dazhi looked at Zhao Qingsong and put the case aside for a moment.

He handed him a bath ticket: "Here, this is a bath ticket. Bathing is free at the factory. Go take a bath first, and change your clothes when you get back."

"Sure!"

Zhao Qingsong agreed.

The original owner hadn't showered for a month, and he had been wanting to take a proper shower for a long time. He was originally going to take a shower when he got back today.

These days, every industry is facing difficulties.

Taking a bath is just as difficult.

Bath tickets were issued once a month. Of course, winters in Beijing are very cold, and it was very common to go two months without a bath.

The two then left the department together and went directly to the factory's bathhouse.

……

After receiving their tickets, the two went straight there.

Although it's still working hours, there are quite a few people inside, many of whom are family members of steel factory workers or people who have taken leave to take a shower.

Lying in the bathroom sink.

Gao Dazhi let out a comfortable groan.

Zhao Qingsong was also getting used to the temperature in the pool.

Once I felt I had adjusted, I leaned against the edge of the pool.

Seeing Gao Dazhi deep in thought, he asked, "Brother Gao, are you thinking about Jia Fugui's case?"

Gao Dazhi turned his head and hummed in agreement: "Yes! I was thinking about that. If that's the case, it means there are spies involved in this theft. But Li Hongwei is dead, so the trail has gone cold. It's going to be difficult to investigate!"

But it's strange, why would Jia Fugui write a letter of complaint? And why would he write it to himself?

Zhao Qingsong was also analyzing it carefully, after all, he wasn't a professional either.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Brother Gao, I feel that Li Hongwei is still a problem. Think about it, if someone dares to engage in speculation and profiteering, even if the matter is exposed, shouldn't their first reaction be to run away? Why would they turn themselves in and even commit suicide by poisoning? I feel that Li Hongwei is a breakthrough point."

Gao Dazhi nodded slightly.

"Indeed, it's a bit strange! Suicide isn't something that happens easily. It seems there are definitely some issues with Li Hongwei's death."

He then muttered to himself, "But why would Li Hongwei turn himself in and commit suicide? Logically speaking, he was all alone, and there was nothing that could threaten him! If Li Hongwei was on Baldy's side, I don't believe he would have such guts."

Zhao Qingsong pondered for a moment upon hearing this.

He said, "This can only be investigated, but it's probably going to be difficult. I'm thinking about two things right now. First, who notified Li Hongwei? Second, the person you were supposed to arrest when we went to find Wang Ying that day—that person escaped. Who was that person? Is it possible that he was the one who was lying in wait?"

Gao Dazhi's eyes lit up.

"That's true! I'll take a shower later and talk to the section chief to see if we can investigate who that person was that day."

"Yes, quite a few people went that day, and some even saw that person run away. Perhaps some of them knew him!"

The two chatted there.

After chatting for a while, Lao Gao went to get a scrub, while Zhao Qingsong was pondering the matter between Jia Fugui and Li Hongwei.

He is not a professional police officer.

Even though his attributes have been boosted and his intelligence has increased significantly, and his mind is much clearer than before, he never thinks he is smarter than others.

His advantage lies in the bombardment of various criminal cases in later generations, as well as the thinking of later generations.

He had a feeling something was wrong when Li Hongwei died.

but……

Li Hongwei had no relatives and no one to threaten him, so he didn't think much of it.

No relatives?

Zhao Qingsong frowned as he thought about this problem.

I have some thoughts in my mind.

"Qingsong, come here, it's time for a scrub."

As he was lost in thought, Gao Dazhi's voice came over, interrupting his thoughts.

"Oh, here it comes."

Zhao Qingsong responded briefly and quickly got up to go over.

Once your train of thought is interrupted, it's hard to pick it up again.

……

After scrubbing themselves clean, the two soaked in the bath for a while before heading back.

When the two came out, it was just the time for the factory to close, and there was a huge crowd of people.

I followed the crowd and went home.

Once they reached the main road outside the factory, the two parted ways, and Zhao Qingsong went home alone.

Just as he was about to get home, a familiar figure suddenly caught his attention.

"It's him!"

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the same person who had escaped from Jia Fugui's house earlier.
