"Just the same as usual."

Xie Beichen looked at Ruan Yu and smiled slightly: "But, I will go with you in the future and protect your safety at any time."

The news of Liu Guilan's murder quickly spread throughout Hongqi County and the entire reservoir dam construction site.

People of this era hate saboteurs deeply.

Therefore, after knowing that Liu Guilan's death might be related to the saboteur hidden behind the scenes, almost most of the people did not think of finding out the gossip about the matter first, but were all very concerned about how to bring the person behind the scenes to justice.

The first to be mobilized were the militia brigades of each commune.

They first arranged inspections at the dam construction site, patrolling back and forth to protect the safety of the dam construction site.

From then on, members of all brigades were no longer allowed to move freely to and from the construction site. Instead, everyone had to gather at the entrance of each brigade’s village before going to the construction site to work together.

When it was time to get off work, they had to gather for roll call and then, just like when they started working, they would be protected by militiamen from each brigade and return to the village together.

The militiamen in their respective brigades were also not idle. They were divided into groups to guard the safety of each brigades day and night.

Once you encounter someone of unidentified identity, capture him without any further ado!

Under such strict precautions, the progress of the entire dam construction site did not slow down. Instead, everyone worked even harder.

Every day, more soldiers stood guard in the yard of the radio station where Ruan Yu and her friends worked. Especially for the educated youth who had previously come into contact with Liu Guilan, each of them had two more soldiers around them to protect their safety.

After three days of intense tension, things did make some progress.

Another person died from the toxicity of cyanide.

The person who died this time was actually the director of the GE Committee of Hongqi County.

"After a thorough investigation, the comrades from the Public Security Bureau locked their sights on Director Ma.

After all, the reason why Liu Guilan was able to qualify to compete for the private teacher position was because Director Ma had called President Wu. "

Xie Beichen would tell Ruan Yu the news he received every night.

Firstly, I hope that she will be able to better protect herself after understanding it, and if she encounters any special situation, she will know how to distinguish between friends and enemies and will not be easily deceived.

Secondly, Ruan Yu’s views and judgments on certain things are very accurate and effective, and she can often give him some new clues.

He would never look down on Ruan Yu just because she was a little girl.

Even Xie Beichen thought that Ruan Yu's views on things often surpassed those of many men!

"The comrades of the Public Security Bureau quickly went to Director Ma's home to find Director Ma to understand the situation. However, when they arrived at Director Ma's home, they found out that Director Ma had not returned home for several days.

Because Director Ma's daily life is not very decent. He has a wife and children, but he still takes advantage of his position to do whatever he wants outside.

The family members tried to persuade him at first, but not only did it fail, but they also got beaten up by Director Ma.

So Director Ma’s wife didn’t dare to interfere in his affairs anymore.”

Xie Beichen spoke in an unhappy tone. In order to help Ruan Yu understand more about what happened, he explained everything very clearly and carefully.

"Because Director Ma often doesn't go home for ten days or half a month, and he's in a bad mood and will usually beat people when he goes back, his wife and two daughters are actually happy to see him not go home.

Naturally, I didn’t think there was anything wrong with Director Ma not going back for a few days.”

Seeing that Ruan Yu listened carefully and had no intention of interrupting, he continued, "Later, comrades from the Public Security Bureau went to Director Ma's office based on the information they had learned.

The news we got was that we hadn't seen Director Ma for several days.

After a long search, everyone finally found Director Ma's body in a utility room on the third floor of the GE Committee office building.

Moreover, according to the investigation by Comrade Gong AN, Director Ma has been dead for at least three days. "

"So this clue of investigation should be correct. But the other party obviously also thought of this loophole.

That’s why after killing Liu Guilan, they went straight to kill Director Ma to silence him.”

Ruan Yu nodded, thought for a moment, and continued to analyze to Xie Beichen: “I think we can ask the people in the GE Committee office in detail, especially the person in charge of the guard post at the gate.

See if anyone who was not working at the GE Committee compound entered or left the office building during those two days."

"The investigation has already begun."

Because of Ruan Yu's reminder, Xie Beichen now had a new idea.

He looked at Ruan Yu quietly, and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"According to the feedback from the public security department, there were no signs of a fight in the utility room, and the staff on the same floor as Director Ma said that Director Ma was walking towards the stairwell with a teacup in his hand and a smile on his face.

He originally thought that Director Ma went to another office to discuss something with someone, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Since that day, the people on their floor have never seen Director Ma come to work again."

Xie Beichen touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Until this time, Director Ma's body was found.

And I heard from the staff that the third floor of this office building has been abandoned for a long time. Now the door of the office is sealed, and there are only two empty rooms inside for storing sundries.

Because no one usually cleans it, no one usually goes up there on their own initiative.

So I think this person should not be the first time to meet Director Ma in that utility room. Otherwise, Director Ma's reaction would definitely not be so relaxed, and that person would not be able to find the location of the utility room so easily. "

"So now, can we start looking for clues from the people Director Ma usually comes into contact with?"

Ruan Yu blinked, she looked up at Xie Beichen and spoke with some anxiety.

"Well, there are too many people involved behind Director Ma and it's too complicated." Although Xie Beichen agreed with Ruan Yu's statement, he did not hide the difficulty of investigating along this clue.

"There are all kinds of messy relationships at work and in personal relationships. It's not an easy task to sort out all of them in a short period of time."

"Why not try to check first to see if there are any people who are good at unlocking and making keys among those who have close contact with him?"

Ruan Yu reached out and tugged at Xie Beichen's sleeve, and when Xie Beichen looked over at her, she tentatively opened her mouth and made a suggestion.
