Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

"Uncle Nie, I have another question. Why did the 703 Institute only arrange two security personnel for such an important component?

Such an important component should be produced by our automobile factory.

I feel that anything less than a patrol is an injustice to these parts.

You also know that when I was still in the motorcycle factory, the accountant's salary was assigned to a person from the security department.

Now look at it again, if there are less than ten people, you will have to face the punishment when you come back.”

Uncle Nie glanced at Chen Changan unhappily.

“Do you think all companies are as wealthy as your car factory?

If you go and see other units, you will usually see two people responsible for security.

Including accountants from many units, when they go to collect workers' wages, they are usually accompanied by two security personnel.

The same goes for the 703 Institute, which does not have enough money to hire security personnel.

Except for some necessary security personnel, we try to save as much as possible and use every penny of funds on scientific research.

This is not the first time that Institute 703 has produced research results. This has happened many times before.

They were all carried to the city of Sijiu by two security guards.

The component itself is not very big, about the same size as a radio.

It only weighs a few kilograms. Is it necessary to mobilize a large force and escort such a thing with great fanfare?

Wouldn't it be easy to expose it to the enemy spies? If the enemy spies knew about it, it would only lead to more serious consequences.

And these two security guards have completed such tasks many times, at least they can prove it.

These two comrades are reliable, and they secretly brought the parts into Beijing, which is more confidential. "

Chen Changan nodded, agreeing with this statement.

"So you mean to let me participate in solving the case as well?

I am mainly worried about my lack of experience. What if I fail to find the murderer?"

“With so many professional police officers unable to find it, isn’t it normal that you can’t find it?

If we find it, wouldn't it be a face-saving thing for our department head? We won't suffer any loss anyway."

Chen Changan thought about it and it made sense. There was nothing to do at the car factory anyway.

Even if it's just to broaden your horizons, it's good.

"Okay, I've loved using my brain since I was a kid. This time I'll learn from the professionals and see how they solve the case.

Maybe if you do transfer to the police department someday, I can keep up with you."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, if you want, then follow me.

There is a special project meeting about to start, now that I have decided to participate.

We must take a 100% attitude and do our best to solve this case.

You should know that two days of the ten days required have already passed.”

Then Uncle Nie brought Chen Changan to a large conference room in the police department.

As soon as Uncle Nie and Chen Changan sat down, the meeting began.

"Two days have passed. Please tell us about your respective investigations."

After he finished speaking, no one spoke in the conference room, only smoke filled the air.

Almost everyone in the conference room was smoking with a sad face.

“Usually, they brag a lot and think they are so great.

Well, now it's time for you to show your talents, why? Are you all cowards?

With this performance of yours, are you worthy of the trust of the Party and the people?

How can the Party and the people feel assured that the safety of the entire city is in your hands? "

Although this statement was a bit serious, the leader had no other choice.

The pressure is huge. The superiors are furious and give us ten days to solve the case.

Two whole days passed and there was still no clue in the case.

The superiors have already given the order, and various departments can coordinate support and even invite experienced retired investigators.

It would be fine if his own people found out, but if people from other units found out, he would have no face to sit in this position.

Maybe the words were quite harsh, but someone finally spoke up.

“Thank you, leader. It’s not that we didn’t investigate carefully, but this case involves too many regions.

The things were most likely lost on the train and are not in the city at all.

I think we need police along the railway station to act at the same time.”

Leader Xie glanced at the person who was speaking and asked.

"You said the things were lost on the train. Do you have any evidence to prove it?"

What if it was stolen by an ordinary thief and no one knew what it was used for.

Have you thought about what to do if your high-profile investigation attracts the attention of enemy spies?

What's more, after the bags in the backpack were swapped, the newspapers inside were old copies of People's Daily.

How can you be sure that the item was lost on the train? Did you lose it at the train station after getting off the train? "

In Chen Changan's opinion, the entire meeting was of no use at all.

Two days have passed, and no one has figured out where the item was lost or whether the murderer is a man or a woman, or how many people there are.

There is absolutely no clue whether it was done by an enemy spy or an ordinary thief.

After the meeting, Chen Changan said to Uncle Nie.

“It is better not to attend such meetings in the future. It is a complete waste of time.

Can you take me to see the two security guards assigned by 703 and the briefcase and newspaper containing the special parts?"

Uncle Nie nodded, turned around and took Chen Changan to the holding room.

Now even the two escorts could not escape suspicion.

Moreover, he had lost important parts, so naturally he would be detained.

First, we came to the place where the head of the security department of Institute 703 was detained.

Section Chief Qin was carrying the briefcase himself. If there really was any suspicion, he would definitely be the most suspicious.

"Chief Qin, where do you think the item is most likely to be lost?"

Section Chief Qin has no idea how many times he has been asked this question.

The young man in front of me was wearing the work clothes of the Sijiucheng Automobile Factory.

It would be fine if I was interrogated by the police, but now anyone can interrogate me.

Unfortunately, now that I have lost an important item, I cannot not answer the question. So I just answered it perfunctorily.

"I think I lost it on the way."

"Is there any basis for this?"

"No."

"If there is no basis for this, why do you say so?"

"I was just guessing. If I knew where I lost it, wouldn't I have gone back to look for it long ago?"

Seeing that the other party seemed unwilling to cooperate, Chen Changan said.

"Chief Qin, if I were you, I would cooperate with everyone.

You should know that if what you lost was found by an ordinary thief, it would be easy to deal with.

Maybe the person didn't even know what it was and just sold it as scrap.

But it was still stolen by the enemy spies. Chief Qin, this is not just your personal problem.

Because of this incident, the entire country may become completely passive in diplomatic issues.

Is this what you want to see? Do you think I'm not a police officer, so I can be fooled?

How can someone who is called in to help solve a case be incompetent? "
