The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 488 You still want to hit me!

The world is big, and the food is the biggest.

Section Chief Chen Guodong cooperated with the canteen director to prepare a sumptuous lunch for all factory employees.

Li Ming also arranged for his men to take turns to have lunch.

"Chief Chen, who is Wang Bao familiar with?"

Section Chief Chen advised: "He won't be able to make a difference if he runs away. A single Wang Bao won't make it happen. You don't have to be so entangled."

"Wang Bao has made trouble for me several times. If I didn't find him, it would be too easy for him."

Chief Chen comforted him: "With your ability, you will be free in two days, and it will be easy to catch him. The best is yet to come, don't worry."

Li Ming pointed to the sky, "They can't turn the tables, can they?"

Section Chief Chen also understood what he meant, "That's it for the time being. The boss can't protect itself now."

What a group of people in the steel rolling mill did was not conspicuous in the slightest at this point in time.

The smooth operation can be considered quite special. Other factories rarely have such a one-sided situation at the beginning.

Tug-of-war is a common phenomenon in the early stages.

At this point, the strong action of the steel rolling mill security department played the most important role. They directly arrested the other group of people, but the other group had no one to take the lead and was out of trouble.

The people like Factory Director Yang who were captured will have to take double the treatment that Zhao Shouqing and others suffered before.

Participate in all conferences and small meetings.

Put up a sign every day and participate in whistleblowing in factories, workshops, and departments.

If people like Director Yang can sweep the floor quietly, it is considered easy.

With Li Ming here, some people will not be allowed to take excessive actions.

In the afternoon,

Rumble, boom.

No one knows when a summer thunderstorm will come suddenly.

Office of the Deputy Chief of the Security Section,
Li Ming stood in front of the window, "Have you sent meals to those who are locked up?"

Luo Xun, the security officer, replied: "They all delivered meals, and the food they delivered was good food from the canteen, but some people didn't eat it."

"Eat it or not. Is there anyone who doesn't want to copy the red book?"

Luo Xun said happily: "Everyone is copying carefully. I guess they dare to resist other punishments, but they dare not not do this."

Peng Zhiping, the third captain, admired: "It was the deputy section chief who was wise and came up with such a trick to make them all obey at once."

Li Ming said casually: "Let's conduct a review of their copying progress."

"Tell them, don't think about scribbling to get away with it. The paper they copied will be displayed on the wall, and the factory employees will vote for those who are not serious and double the punishment."

"I'll tell them right away." Luo Xun couldn't help laughing.

"You go ahead and do your work first. I have to call Director Yu and the others to update them on the latest situation in the factory."

"Yes." A group of people went out and went about their own business.

Director Yu was pretty good to him. It was easy to make a phone call. It was up to Director Yu to choose what to do. He didn't have much advice.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Zhou Xiaobai's call came in.

"Xiao Ming, Luo Yun and I can't help you find an office space recently."

Li Ming smiled and said: "I am also looking for an opportunity to call you and ask you to try not to go out recently."

Zhou Xiaobai said crisply: "This time, my parents really don't let me go out. Now I secretly come out to call you."

"Xiaobai, were you using the public phone outside?"

"The public phone outside the compound, I called you just now, and it kept saying it was busy."

"I was just reporting to the factory leaders."

"Then did I interrupt your work?"

He had just won a great victory, but the factory was still a bit messy. Li Ming was not worried about being eavesdropped, and the dirty talk came out again.

"No! I received your call just when I missed you. I don't know how happy I was!"

Zhou Xiaobai subconsciously stood further away from the counter for fear of being heard.

She had a tender face and was too embarrassed to say those words, so she could only express concern: "It's true that your boss won't let you rest after get off work at noon."

"Someone has to do the work. Is it raining where you are?"

"It rained heavily. I didn't bring an umbrella with me. I can't even go back now! But fortunately, the rain is getting lighter."

"Then your dad will find out you're not at home."

"My dad went to a meeting and didn't even come back for lunch. He has meetings every day recently and has no time to care about me. But in order not to worry him, I decided to listen to him."

"You are right to be obedient. The security situation outside is not very good now. You are so beautiful, it is more dangerous to walk on the road."

Zhou Xiaobai felt pleased when he heard this, and said with concern: "You are a buyer, you must pay more attention to safety."

"It's my job to catch people, no one can make me suffer. There are so many of those little minions, and I beat them until their parents don't recognize them. Hehe, I will let you know how powerful I am in the future."

Zhou Xiaobai said deliberately: "You still want to hit me!"

Li Ming chuckled and said, "If you don't understand now, you will understand later."

Zhou Xiaobai glanced at the shop owner and lowered his voice a little, "I don't think what you said was nice."

"How could it be! The honest and reliable young gentleman is talking about me."

"I don't think you are very honest. By the way, I wrote you a letter. You must remember to keep it."

Li Ming guessed that Xiao Nizi came out to send a letter and called him by the way.Making phone calls and writing letters cost the little girl more than ten cents. The cost of falling in love is quite high.

"I know. I treasure every letter you write to me. Many years later, we will sit in the small courtyard and read it slowly together."

Zhou Xiaobai's face turned red, "Then I won't write to you anymore."

"You must write, you must write more. I like to read."

"Someone's coming. I'm going to die."

"Okay. Pay attention to safety and try not to go out."

"I know."

It wasn't Li Ming who was trying to scare Zhou Xiaobai.

The recent public security situation is obviously no better than a few months ago.

Now that the factory is in a mess and everyone is busy doing their own thing, the voluntary patrol team established by the Public Security Bureau cannot be maintained.

The factory doesn't provide personnel, and the security station is undermanned, so even if you want to patrol, there's nothing you can do.

Some brave people began to fish in troubled waters.

For Qin Huairu's safety, Li Ming planned to organize the people near No. 95 Courtyard and the residents would set up a voluntary patrol team themselves.

Anyway, there is often nothing to do when working in the factory, so it is better to patrol at night to protect the peace of the house, sleep in the factory during the day or show your face and then go home to sleep.

There has been a significant increase in the number of people working to fish at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

Just after hanging up the phone from Zhou Xiaobai, Li Ming picked up the phone and called the Xiangyanghua Brigade, asking Captain Gao to help pass the message to Lou Xiaoe. Everything went well.

As for Qin Huairu, he had already sent Li Fangsheng from the Public Security Department to No. 95 Courtyard to report that it was safe.

2 o'clock in the afternoon,
The remaining leaders of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill held a meeting, followed suit, and formed a preparatory committee. (Before February 67, units in various places had different names. They could be called anything.)
Li Ming did not join the Preparatory Committee, not because he was not qualified. In fact, he made great contributions this time, and Deputy Director Li also named him to join the Preparatory Committee.But once he joins the organizing committee, he will definitely have to attend a lot of retreat meetings, which will be too restrictive for him.

He found it boring, so he took the initiative to turn down his post on the organizing committee.

Others also praised him for his integrity, but they didn't know that he simply didn't want to attend too many meetings.

Li Ming only planned to guard the existing one-third of an acre of land, consolidate the territory of the Security Department, and ensure peace.

Yang Dakui, who was waiting for him downstairs in the security department, said, "Deputy section chief, you have finished your meeting. We went out to search but couldn't find Wang Bao."

"It doesn't matter, he has to find a place to stay at night. I will catch him myself at night."

Having taken control of the steel rolling mill, Li Ming sent some people from the security department to search for Deputy Director Wang.

Li Fangsheng complained: "I don't know if Chen Liuman deliberately let the situation slip. Everyone else was caught, but Wang Bao was not caught."

"We don't need to worry about this matter. Deputy Factory Director Li will settle the score with Chen Liuman. You two put down what you are doing and continue to screen for relationships with security activists."

Yang Dakui asked: "What about the factory?"

"Other people are responsible for things in the factory, and they will not be overturned. The focus of our work now is on these security activists. They will soon become members of the police team. Unreliable people cannot be brought in."

Yang Dakui and Li Fangsheng looked at each other and said, "We will do it right away."

As get off work was approaching, something unexpected happened.

Wang Tiezhi panted and ran to the deputy section chief's office to report, "Deputy Director Wang Bao is dead."

Li Ming stood up in shock, "What! How did you die?"

Wang Tiezhi replied: "He was stabbed to death in the grass behind Building 7 of Qingshuiyuan Family Courtyard."

The first thing Li Ming thought of was Tang Dejin, the security section chief of the No. [-] branch, but then he immediately rejected it.

"I remember that Deputy Factory Director Wang seems to live in Building 2? Have you reported it to the Public Security Bureau?"

"not yet."

"I'm going to check now. You go to the Dongzhimen Police Station to find someone."

"Yes."

The Qingshuiyuan Family Courtyard of the steel rolling mill is also within the jurisdiction of Dongzhimen Office.

During the critical period, Li Ming himself could not cause chaos. He took away none of his confidants in the security department and called Wang Yi, Wang Jia and others to help.

When he arrived, a circle of people had gathered around the crime scene in Building 7 of Qingshui Garden.

Li Ming ordered Wang Yi and other security officers to move the onlookers away for questioning, and arranged for Wang Jia to return to the factory to report to Deputy Director Li, Deputy Director Nie and others.

He had only received a verbal report from his subordinates just now, and he did not know the actual situation at the scene. Now it was confirmed that the person was dead and he must report it immediately.

He put on shoe covers and gloves, ostensibly searching the area around the body.

In fact, he was carefully exploring and searching the vicinity, looking for useful things.

A trash can was quickly locked, but he didn't move it.

Wang Tiezhi from the other side arrived quickly with Director Niu and the security guard.

Director Niu looked serious, "Deputy Section Chief Li, how is the situation now?"

"I checked around the body without disturbing the body, and at the same time controlled the onlookers."

Li Ming pointed to a group of people not far away and asked: "Director Niu, have you reported to the branch?"

Director Niu sighed: "I have to come over first to check the situation before asking for support from the branch."

Wang Tiezhi squatted aside to catch his breath. He was very tired from walking back and forth.

Director Niu took the shoe covers and gloves handed over by Li Ming and put them on before going to check on the body. "It doesn't look like a suicide. The murder weapon is not here either."

Li Ming suggested: "Call the technical staff from your branch to come over?"

"This is the only way." After Director Niu finished speaking, he ordered a security guard who came with him to rush to the east branch of the city.

Director Niu suggested: "Let's go over and ask those people to see if we can gain anything."

"Wang Yi and the others haven't reported to me yet, so they probably haven't asked anything useful." Li Ming walked quickly towards Wang Yi and the crowd of onlookers.

Director Niu took off his gloves and shoe covers and followed.

Although Wang Tiezhi came to his senses a little, he still stayed where he was to guard the scene.

"Wang Yi, did you ask for any clues?"

"Deputy Section Chief Li, not yet. The first one to find it was Aunt Sun, and the others gathered after hearing Aunt Sun's cry. Aunt Sun came downstairs at about 5 o'clock and saw her."

Li Ming looked at his watch. It was around 5:30. The response speed of the security department and the public security station was very fast.

Director Niu asked: "Aunt Sun, did you see anyone else nearby at that time?"

Aunt Sun pointed at the gap created by the damaged barbed wire, "I walked to the back of this house to take a shortcut to buy groceries. I didn't see anyone else."

Family homes generally occupy a large area, and erecting a fence is not only expensive but also time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Pulling up four or five barbed wire fences can be used as a fence to intercept and deter strangers, especially since there is a legend about the power grid. People nowadays are still very afraid of electricity.

However, this thing cannot fool the people living inside.

In order to facilitate entry and exit, it is common for people to create a gap through artificial sabotage.

Especially children who are full and full, not only for the convenience of entry and exit, they also want to do some small damage.

Director Niu looked at Li Ming and asked, "Ask the residents and children playing nearby if they heard any shouting or fighting."

Aunt Sun interjected: "Everyone who is home in our building is here, and we didn't hear the sound of fighting. The children ran away."

"Yes. Logically speaking, it will be quite quiet in the afternoon. If there is any movement, we should be able to hear some."

"I didn't hear any movement."

"I was doing needlework at that time, and I didn't hear it either."

A group of people were discussing in a hurry.

Li Ming was most annoyed by them providing invalid information and interrupted loudly: "If it's useful, tell me now. If it's useless, you can talk about it later."

Everyone fell silent immediately.

Director Niu said kindly: "Don't worry, everyone, come one by one. I am taking notes of the inquiry and will ask you later. You can also carefully recall whether there is anything unusual now."

Li Ming did not interrupt Director Niu's questioning.

His thoughts wandered a little far. Although they had seized the rights in the factory today, their footing was not stable enough.

The unexpected death of Deputy Director Wang Bao will put tremendous pressure on the group headed by Deputy Director Li.

If they are not detected in time, various rumors will emerge and become a sharp weapon for others to attack them.

As he expected, the first thing Deputy Factory Director Nie said after he arrived with his people was, "Deputy Section Chief Li, this is a particularly critical period. The factory orders you to solve the case as soon as possible!"

Li Mingying stepped forward and replied: "The technical staff from the Chengdong Branch should arrive soon. Let's wait for their technical analysis."

Deputy Director Nie asked doubtfully: "You have investigated so many cases, can you just start checking them directly?"

"I don't know much about autopsies either. It needs professional technicians to do it."

Deputy Director Nie clicked his tongue, "What a troubled time it has been."
