Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 310 Mo Dacheng's Judgment
He Yuanchao knew that this kind of case was complicated and he had to cut the Gordian knot and grasp the key points, so he asked simple and clear questions.

"Tell me who this thing is going to be given to. The more detailed the name, age, workplace, and home address, the better."

The matter had not yet been determined. Liu Liang thought that perhaps he could be given a lighter sentence by serving his sentence, so he hurriedly answered all the questions.

"Give it to Li Dagui from the Longfusi Market Patrol."

"Gone?"

Seeing Liu Liang shut up after saying one sentence, He Yuanchao realized that there was something wrong with his question and quickly continued to ask: "Was it this Li Dagui who asked you to steal the special steel?"

"No, it's a man named Luo."

Liu Liang shook his head and explained readily.

Realizing that this Luo was the key figure, He Yuanchao couldn't help but increase his tone.

"Tell me the specific situation."

Hearing this, Liu Liang did not answer immediately, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face. Seeing this, He Yuanchao, who had finished asking the question, did not urge him, but stood quietly by the side smoking.

After about two or three minutes, Liu Liang said with some embarrassment: "I only know his last name is Luo, as for other things I know nothing."

After hearing Liu Liang's words, He Yuanchao couldn't help but frowned slightly.

He has strong anti-detection capabilities and does things without leaving any clues. From this point of view, the man with the surname Luo is not an ordinary person.

"A bird in the hand is worth a thousand in the bush. Maybe we can get clues from Li Dagui about what Liu Liang doesn't know."

He Yuanchao muttered something under his breath, and while extinguishing the cigarette in his hand, he said to Li Jiefang: "Jiefang, go and contact the Longfu Temple police station right now.

On the pretext of stealing the steel mill's property, they were asked to send someone to call Li Dagui back to assist in the investigation."

"Yes, Director. I will ensure that the task is completed."

After being assigned a task that suited his taste, Li Jiefang stood up and responded, then walked quickly towards the door of the interrogation room with excitement on his face.

"and many more."

At the door of the interrogation room, Li Jiefang, who had one foot inside and one foot outside, stopped immediately when he heard He Yuanchao's call, turned his head with a puzzled look on his face and said:
"Does the Director have anything else to say?"

The reason why he called Li Jiefang was because He Yuanchao suddenly remembered that he had met Li Dagui at Longfu Temple during the Chinese New Year.

Moreover, the impression this person gave him at the time was that he was scheming and unruly. He didn't look like someone who would sit there and wait for death. He might even do something desperate.

"Li Dagui is very likely carrying a gun. Tell the comrades who are carrying out the mission to be vigilant and pay attention to their own safety. If they resort to violence, try to capture them alive."

"Don't worry, Director. I will definitely bring Li Dagui back alive."

As if he was afraid that He Yuanchao would go back on his word and not let him carry out the arrest mission, Li Jiefang hurried out of the interrogation room after he finished speaking.

After Li Jiefang left, He Yuanchao was not idle either. He asked the security personnel behind the interrogation table to take notes while he continued to interrogate Liu Liang.

Except for the matter concerning the man surnamed Luo, Liu Liang answered almost every question.

This included the incident where Liu Liang owed money from gambling and was instigated by a man named Luo to steal workpieces from the steel factory, and how he was caught and threatened to steal special steel scraps.

After asking a few more questions in a roundabout way, He Yuanchao stopped the interrogation when he saw that Liu Liang really didn't know the specific situation of the man surnamed Luo.

"That's all for today. Liu Liang, think carefully about it. If you have any important clues, you must report them to the guards in a timely manner."

Liu Liang is a little greedy and selfish, but the fact that he can become a cadre without any background proves that he is not a stupid person.

"Director He, I've told you everything I know. At this point, there's no need for me to hide anything anymore." He Yuanchao nodded. Just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden knock on the door of the interrogation room.

"Come in."

As He Yuanchao finished speaking, the three people in the room saw Zhang Ershuang, who was on duty at the gate security room, push open the door and hurried in.

Zhang Ershuang quickly glanced around the room, and without waiting for He Yuanchao to ask the reason, he walked straight up to him and said in a breathless voice:
"Director, not long after you left, Minister Mo called to inquire about what happened at the factory gate."

The steel rolling mill was like a big sieve, with leaks everywhere. He Yuanchao was not surprised at all that Mo Dacheng, the main leader of the factory, knew what happened in front of the factory gate so quickly.

However, Liu Liang's matter might involve many people, so He Yuanchao had to weigh the pros and cons carefully. Otherwise, if he offended everyone, how would he survive in the factory in the future?

He Yuanchao thought to himself, but said calmly, "Besides this, what else did Minister Mo say?"

"He told you to call him back when you have time, and that he'll be waiting for your news in the office."

Hearing He Yuanchao's question, Zhang Ershuang did not hesitate at all and blurted out what Mo Dacheng had told him to do.

After listening to Zhang Ershuang's words, He Yuanchao said nothing, and quickly analyzed the purpose of Mo Dacheng's actions in his mind.

If you simply want to know what cases the Security Department is handling, there is no need to be so anxious and wait for them to report to you after get off work.

It seems that Mo Dacheng realized the importance of this matter through his ear report.

So, does he want to use this incident to open up the work situation and increase his voice in the Security Department, or does he want to intervene and get a piece of the pie?
Both speculations are very likely, but it is not ruled out that they just want to care about the work of the Security Department. However, even He Yuanchao himself does not quite believe the last idea.

No matter how much you guess or think, you still have to face what you have to face.

After asking Zhang Ershuang and the security personnel to take Liu Liang to the detention room for solitary confinement and specifically instructing that no one was allowed to contact him, He Yuanchao left the interrogation room and walked out of the detention room.

As for making phone calls to report, one has to be very brave to do something that does not take the deputy-level leading cadres as dry food.

Although the detention room was not in the same building as the factory office, it was not far away. It didn't take He Yuanchao long to reach the door of Mo Dacheng's office.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door three times, neither lightly nor heavily.

'Bang bang bang. '

As soon as the voice fell, there was a response in the office, "Come in."

When He Yuanchao heard the noise, he straightened his collar, pushed open the office door, and walked in with a smile.

"It's aid to North Korea!"

Mo Dacheng, who was sitting behind his desk, saw He Yuanchao coming in. He put down the documents in his hand, stood up, and walked out from behind his desk with a smile, saying, "Come, sit here."

The two of them sat down on the sofa and exchanged a few words about work. Mo Dacheng took the opportunity to say, "Yuan Chao, someone just called and said that something happened at the factory gate. What exactly happened?"

Seeing that Mo Dacheng was asking questions even though he already knew the answer, He Yuanchao felt a little uncomfortable, but he still had to give his leader the respect he deserved, so he told him the whole story of Liu Liang's matter without hiding anything.

After listening to He Yuanchao's story, Mo Dacheng couldn't help but reveal a bit of solemnity on his calm face.

After hearing that the steel scraps stolen by Liu Liang had been confirmed to be special steel, Mo Dacheng concluded that this matter was most likely related to the spies in Taiwan.

This muddy water is not easy to wade through. After making a judgment in his mind, Mo Dacheng put away his original thoughts and became cautious in his words.

"Have you reported this matter to the factory and relevant departments?"
