The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 264, surfaced

On Li Weiguo's side, he left the No. [-] grain depot of the Grain Institute, and returned to the rolling mill on his bicycle not long after.

After returning to his office, Li Weiguo threw his satchel on the table and slumped on the chair.

After struggling for a long time early in the morning, running around, I was finally able to rest for a while.

But fortunately, this trip was worthwhile. Once Dad Zhao crosses this step, the sea and the sky will be vast. Presumably with this batch of supplies, defeating the opponent should not be a problem.

After resting for a few minutes and stretching, Li Weiguo stood up and took the thermos to make himself a cup of tea and continue his unfinished fishing business in the morning.

However, before he could dig out the tea leaves, Zheng Shan and Yang Xiaojun came to find him.

They arrived in a hurry. They were panting as they trotted all the way over. After entering the house, before they could even take a breath, Zheng Shan reported:
"Section Chief, good news, Gao Tianhe, whom we followed last time, has made a new discovery."

Li Weiguo's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Oh? What's going on?"

"Guess what we found when we were following Gao Tianhe these days?"

"what?"

Zheng Shan took a few deep breaths, adjusted his breathing, and explained: "We have been staring at him in turn for the past few days, and we haven't found anything unusual."

"Until last night when the monkey squatted on him, he discovered that he had secretly contacted a person."

"This morning, a few of us followed the lead and found out that the person he contacted was an old painter named Peng Dajun from the printing factory."

"And after our investigation, we found that this old painter Peng Dajun looks ordinary, but he is actually very rich."

"Rich?" Li Weiguo asked doubtfully.

Yang Xiaojun on the side nodded and added: "Yes, section chief, that is, rich, not in line with his income level of an ordinary painter, rich and popular."

"On the surface, Peng Dajun is dressed in ordinary clothes and has a lot of patches on his body, but this morning we followed him all morning and saw him secretly spending no less than 50 yuan."

"I bought grain and non-staple food, and secretly changed places to consume. I went to several grain stations and supply and marketing cooperatives in the morning."

"Section Chief, there is definitely something wrong with this person!"

Yang Xiaojun was dancing with excitement, and Zheng Shan next to him also looked excited.

Since the suspicious news chief Gao Tianhe was discovered a few days ago, Li Weiguo asked Zheng Shan and the other four to change the focus of their investigation from the trust manager to Gao Tianhe.

In the past few days, they had been taking turns to keep an eye on Gao Tianhe almost 24 hours a day. In order to keep an eye on Gao Tianhe, they had not had a normal schedule for several days, and even asked for leave for several days in a row.

After staring for so many days, this time I finally found clues from Gao Tianhe's strange whereabouts, and followed the clues to find the old painter Peng Dajun.

An invisible wealthy family, consumption that does not match their income, secretly contacting each other in the middle of the night, all these things point to a big problem between Peng Dajun and Gao Tianhe.

After listening to Zheng Shan and Yang Xiaojun's explanations, Li Weiguo's eyes flashed and he said nothing. He tapped his fingers on the table again and again, thinking quietly.

Wang Dejun, deputy director of the Grain Institute, Meng Xinmin, director of newspaper affairs, Gao Tianhe, trust manager Pan Renquan, old painter Peng Dajun Fuyu
Li Weiguo's mind kept rolling, thinking about the connections between these people and things.

These seemingly chaotic people and things are entangled with each other, like a network, gradually forming in Li Weiguo's mind.

After thinking for a moment, Li Weiguo felt as if he had grasped the context of the matter, so he suddenly stood up and asked: "Who is watching over there now?"

Zheng Shan replied: "Chief, there are monkeys watching over there now. Da Zhuang is inconvenient to approach because of his obvious size, so he is responsible for responding and reporting the situation at any time."

Li Weiguo nodded and said nothing. He lowered his head and paced back and forth in the office, repeatedly considering the context of the matter.

Zheng Shan and Yang Xiaojun saw that he was thinking and did not interrupt him. They suppressed their eagerness and stood quietly aside, waiting for instructions.

At this point in the investigation of the matter, the context gradually became clear, and they already had some guesses.

Just by intuition alone, we can conclude that there is something wrong with Peng Dajun and Gao Tianhe, but there is no direct evidence now, so we hold back for the time being.

Whether it is Peng Dajun, Gao Tianhe, the chief of the newspaper department, or Meng Xinmin and Wang Dejun, the trust manager and the grain office, they all act with extreme caution.

If it wasn't for their luck, they just happened to meet, and they spent a lot of effort to follow and investigate in turn, they might not have found any problems at all.

It seems that it is impossible to use formal means to find evidence.

Li Weiguo weighed it left and right, then gritted his teeth and made a secret decision.

Night, early morning, one o'clock.

The dark night, quiet and gloomy.

The howling north wind roared most of the night, sweeping through the streets and alleys without stopping for a moment.

The biting cold wind and the sudden drop in temperature at night are quite unfriendly to those who are still staying outside.

Even if you are hiding in a leeward corner of an alley and are wrapped up tightly, there will always be one or two strands of cold wind that can find gaps in your clothes and make you shiver with cold.

Babaokeng Hutong, a dark alley corner.

At this time, there were five men squatting guarding, it was Li Weiguo, Zheng Shan, Yang Xiaojun and their group.

Li Weiguo glanced at a three-in-one courtyard not far away, which was where they were monitoring this trip.

The yard where the old painter was.

The five of them have been squatting in this corner for most of the night, and Monkey and Da Zhuang have been squatting for a whole day without taking a break.

However, no matter how tired they were, they didn't even complain.

Because they have worked hard for so many days and are about to see results, they don't want to miss the opportunity to perform, and each one is more positive than the other.

In the dim moonlight, he raised his hand to check the time, and felt that it was about the same time. Li Weiguo took a deep breath in his hand, rubbed it, and said to everyone:

"You are waiting for me here, I will go in and check."

Just when Li Weiguo was about to leave, Zheng Shan suddenly grabbed his sleeve and whispered to dissuade him: "Section Chief, please let me go."

It's not that they don't believe in Li Weiguo's level of reconnaissance, and there are so many younger brothers here, there is no reason for the leader to take action himself.

"Yes, section chief, why don't you let Brother Shan go?"

Hou Zi, Yang Xiaojun and Da Zhuang also spoke to dissuade them.

"Yes, section chief, how about I go there? I've learned how to penetrate holes through walls, break doors and unlock locks. I can go in and look for things. I guarantee that no one will find out." The monkey patted his chest and asked Li Weiguo Assured.

In terms of who has the highest level of scouting, it must be the monkey. He is nimble and smart. He was a first-class scout when he was in the army.

He has been following and stalking most of the past few days, logically it would be best for him to go in and spy on them.

But Li Weiguo rejected them with a wave of his hand: "Okay, I know that you are kind, and you all obey the order, stay at ease, I will go back as soon as I go."

No matter how superb the reconnaissance skills are, there is still a risk of alerting the enemy by breaking into the door.

Can it be compared to opening and hanging?
He didn't even need to pry open the door to get in. He could scan Peng Dajun's home clearly with just a thought through the door.

It is clear at a glance whether there is a problem, and there is no need for the monkey to take the risk of prying the door to find something.

Of course, there is no way to talk to them about this.

So Li Weiguo firmly rejected them.

Tightening his clothes tightly and telling everyone to stay where they are, Li Weiguo stooped and sneaked over in the dark.

Approaching the east wall of the large courtyard, and walking about ten meters further, Li Weiguo happened to be outside the wall of the east wing of the central courtyard.

After looking around, I found the root of the wall in the northeast corner of the middle courtyard, and looked up to see that the height of the courtyard wall was less than three meters.

Li Weiguo let go of his thoughts and scanned a ten-meter radius to confirm that the location was safe.

So he bent his legs, exerted force instantly, and bounced high from the ground. Then he climbed onto the wall with one hand, and with a slight push, he climbed in from the outside.

Turning over, he bent his legs and landed gently on the ground without making a single sound.

After entering, Li Weiguo did not delay and quickly ran to the main room in the middle courtyard.
