urban security

There was a man called "Glasses" who was a member of our security team. Before I left the construction site, we got along well and there was nothing unusual about us - I could even say he was a kind and friendly colleague. Not only that, he never made any negative comments about the security job.

The only exception was when he spoke to me from the bottom of his heart in the first few days after I arrived here. At that time, we sat together beside the bed (it was a typical worker's dormitory, with a large bunk bed built with steel pipe frames and composed of several large plywood sheets for everyone to take turns to rest and sleep).

I just heard him say to me slowly: "The job of a security guard is actually just like that. You won't starve to death, but you definitely won't make a fortune either! However, at least this job is not too heavy or tiring. It's better than the torturous work on the assembly line in an electronics factory." As he spoke, he held a cigarette between the fingers of his right hand, and from time to time he took it out of his mouth and gently flicked off the ash, while wisps of smoke fell down along with flickering sparks.

For a moment, the ground, his clothes and trouser legs were all covered with cigarette ash. At this moment, he was leisurely crossing his legs, with an unfathomable expression on his face. Then, he shook his left hand again, and a delicate mechanical watch on his wrist was revealed. It seemed that this smiling man with no hostility seemed to be hiding some secrets.

I thought to myself, "You think it's easy, but security work is quite tedious and complicated!" As if he could see through my inner thoughts, the colleague with glasses looked at me and said, "If you encounter any questions you don't understand in the future, just ask me. The most important thing in the security industry is to study hard and ask questions in order to make progress!"

After that, he stood up and crossed his legs, ready to go out to work, and said to me: "Okay, you should get some sleep." Since we were not on the same shift at that time, he was on the day shift and I was on the night shift. I saw this colleague with glasses walking towards the door, flicking the unfinished cigarette butt in his hand into the distance, and the cigarette butt drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell to the ground far away.

From then on, we developed a mutual admiration. The colleague with glasses curiously asked me what kind of work I had done in the past. I told him frankly that I had worked in an electronics factory. He seemed quite interested in this and echoed that he had also worked in an electronics factory.

Although I had some doubts in my heart, the way he spoke so clearly and seriously, coupled with the fact that he was younger than me and electronics factories usually prefer to recruit young people, these factors made me gradually believe that what he said was true.

The colleague wearing glasses told me that he had no plan to work as a security guard for a long time. He chose to come here after the construction project in Dongguan was completed just because he got along very well with Mr. L. Since I did not mention my background, he naturally regarded me as a newcomer. There is no doubt that compared to him, I am indeed a novice - not only did I come later than him, but I also happened to join after the construction project in Dongguan was completed. At this moment, I secretly thought: This colleague with glasses can indeed be called a senior in the security industry! After all, old security guards are usually more familiar with the ins and outs than new security guards.

Although he was so arrogant that he thought he was qualified to be someone else's master, I actually never asked him any questions. I just occasionally heard him talk about some tips and tricks about being a security guard. However, what I didn't expect was that the seemingly ordinary and flawless colleague with glasses would actually...

Usually it was around 3 o'clock after midnight, when the night was thick and the wind was howling, and after making sure that other colleagues had fallen asleep, they would carefully open the gate of the construction site and let in those idle and unemployed people from the outside world.

These people colluded with the insiders to steal the diesel used by the machines stored on the construction site! The whole tank was full of diesel, weighing several tons. The diesel should have been purchased by the project department and stored in a huge tank barrel as fuel for their excavators. However, they were now stealing and dividing it up. Some of the colleagues wearing glasses were responsible for keeping watch, while others used long rubber hoses to extract fuel from the tank.

First, they extracted the diesel from the small barrels and put them into small barrels. Then, they moved the barrels filled with diesel into the large truck and finally took them away and sold them. In this way, barrel after barrel, they actually filled as many as 20 barrels! They did not stop until all the diesel stored in the barrels was sucked out. Then, they opened the door and let the transport vehicles drive into the yard. Then, they moved the barrels of diesel onto the vehicles and placed them in the positions that had been arranged in advance. After completing these operations, their partner quickly jumped on the pickup truck and rushed in the direction agreed with the friends, and soon disappeared into the endless darkness.

However, unexpectedly, the security team rushed to the scene at dawn the next morning, but did not notice anything unusual. It was not until around noon that the excavator master was about to refuel the machine when he suddenly shouted in surprise: "How could there be so much less oil?" Upon hearing this, the project department staff immediately came to check and confirmed that there was indeed an oil leak. So they asked the security guard what was going on, but the security captain answered with a confused look on his face: "I don't know either!"

How do you security guards do their job? Call all your people here immediately, I want to ask them clearly! How could such a large barrel of diesel disappear without a trace overnight! Come out and take a look! The captain replied in a panic: "Okay, okay!" But when he went outside to check, he found that even the security guard in charge of the night shift and the colleague wearing glasses were nowhere to be seen. So they hurriedly called each other, but no one answered. This must be a traitor. Your security team is a major suspect that cannot be shirked!

Hey, hey, hey! People who work the day shift over there, come and have a look! What's going on? When I took over, there was no one in sight. All the people who were working disappeared! Could it be a ghost? They must have all run away! What's even more outrageous is that they took a whole tank of gas before leaving, and then sold it for money! It's so abominable! Since this happened here, we have to notify your General L to come and deal with it. After all, this is a very serious matter.

You security guards have to take responsibility. If this continues, it won't work. I think we should just replace them. Maybe there is a traitor working with them, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy for someone to steal the things. Humph! I'm so angry! After saying this, he immediately called Mr. L: "Hello, Mr. L, I'm sorry to bother you, but there's been another thief stealing things on the construction site! How are you security guards guarding it!"

Unexpectedly, the seemingly honest security guard with glasses colluded with others to steal the precious diesel in the project department and sold it all! Now the whole project department is in an uproar, and people are looking for clues and suspects everywhere. At this moment, someone notified Mr. L: "This matter is related to you, please come over quickly! Everyone wants to know what happened and how to properly handle it!" After hearing this, Mr. L quickly responded: "Okay, okay, I'll be there right away." He secretly thought to himself, what is going on? How should he deal with this sudden crisis?

The person in charge of the project department hurriedly called and issued an urgent notice. Mr. L's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Okay, okay, I'll be there right away! We must communicate this matter with the project department and work together to find a solution.

Alas, it was that guy with glasses who was behind all this. Now he has run away, we need to find him out right away! Should we call the police?"

The captain frowned and asked, "I have to discuss this matter with your General L! Um... But how to deal with it specifically is up to you to decide. But no matter what, because you security guards are seriously suspected of this matter. If you choose to call the police, I'm afraid you will still need to compensate for the losses in the end. Sometimes I really don't know whether to call the police or not. After all, the person has already run away, and there is no way to catch him! What is certain is that they must have discussed it in advance and made a plan long ago. You were not there at the time. If there was no movement at night, how could things turn out like this?"

This is true, and the goal is not far away, but it makes me regretful and tears flow. However, no matter how much I lament, it is useless because the cruel reality is right in front of me. This place has become a mess. Who cares about the so-called work now? Those who work the day shift are already absent-minded.

After all, such a serious incident happened. Who would have thought that the security guards would be traitors? Everyone was talking about it and pointing fingers, so that the security guards were so ashamed that they couldn't even raise their heads. Hey, what are you looking at after you've finished complaining? Those workers who didn't stick to their professional ethics in the first place! Now it has nothing to do with us? They even accused us of taking the things out, but it was obviously them who took them away! Look at what these things are!
