The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 264, surfaced

On Li Weiguo's side, he left the No. 5 grain depot of the Grain Institute and rode back to the steel rolling mill 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 Zhao Dad takes this step, the sea and the sky will be vast. Presumably with this batch of supplies, defeating his 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 over.

The two of them arrived in a hurry, panting and trotting all the way. When they entered 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 taking turns watching him these past few days, and we haven't found anything unusual."

"Until last night when the monkey squatted on him, it was discovered that he had secretly contacted someone."

"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 the old painter Peng Dajun appeared to be ordinary, but he was actually very wealthy."

"Rich?" Li Weiguo asked doubtfully.

Yang Xiaojun on the side nodded and added: "Yes, Section Chief, he is wealthy, not in line with the income level of an ordinary painter. He is very rich and popular."

"On the surface, this 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 that he secretly spent no less than fifty yuan."

"I bought grain and non-staple food, and I secretly changed places to consume. I visited 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 Institute of Grain, Meng Xinmin, chief of the newspaper section, Gao Tianhe, trust manager Pan Renquan, and veteran 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 taking shape 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 stood up and asked: "Who is watching over there now?"

Zheng Shan replied: "Section Chief, there are monkeys watching over there right 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.

After the matter was investigated to this point, 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 they hadn't had a bit of luck, happened to happen upon it, and spent a lot of effort to follow and investigate, they might not have discovered any problems at all.

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

Li Weiguo weighed his options, gritted his teeth, and secretly made a 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 icy cold wind and sudden drop in temperature at night are quite unfriendly to those who still stay 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 large courtyard not far away, which was where they were monitoring during 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 never complained.

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.

Under the dim moonlight, he raised his hand to check the time. It felt like it was almost time. Li Weiguo took a breath of hot air in his hand, rubbed it, and then said to everyone:

"You guys wait for me here, I'll 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 he doesn't believe in Li Weiguo's reconnaissance skills, and with so many juniors here, there's no reason for the leader to take action personally.

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

Monkey, Yang Xiaojun and Da Zhuang on the side also spoke to dissuade him.

"Yes, section chief, how about I go there? I've learned how to penetrate holes through walls, pick 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.

Among them, who has the highest reconnaissance level, it must be Monkey. He is agile and clever. He was a first-class reconnaissance expert when he was in the army.

He has been following and watching most of the time these days, so it stands to reason that it would be best for him to go in for spying and reconnaissance.

However, Li Weiguo waved his hand and rejected them: "Okay, I know you are kind-hearted. Please obey the order and stay peacefully. I will come 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 cheating?

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’s obvious whether there’s a problem or not, so there’s no need to risk a monkey trying to pry open the door to find something.

Of course, you can't tell them this.

So Li Weiguo still firmly rejected them.

After tightening his clothes and telling everyone to stay where they were, Li Weiguo crouched and sneaked over quietly under the cover of the night.

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.

I looked around and found the root of the wall in the northeast corner of the central courtyard. I looked up at the height of the courtyard wall, which 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.
