Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

"Did Qi Fei arrange this task for you?" Jiang Chen asked with a frown.

Lei Jie lowered his head and said, "I took it on myself. Section Chief Qi wanted to persuade me, but I was too quick to talk and he didn't have time."

"You, you" Jiang Chen pointed at Lei Jie and said angrily:

"Why did you take on such a thankless job?"

Lei Jie said: "Because someone said, 'Our great hero wouldn't even dare to take on this task,' so I took it on as soon as I got excited."

Jiang Chen said: "Whoever said this has absolutely no good intentions. You said that you would fall for such a simple provoking method."

Lei Jie smiled naively: "It was the security guard Wei Zhongqian who said it. I was impulsive at the time. But as soon as I took it, I regretted it because I don't know how to investigate the case."

"What, is this matter difficult to investigate?"

Jiang Chen said: "Keep a distance from Wei Zhongqian from now on. He must be seeing you upgrading your level too quickly, and his heart is twisted. Such a villain may stab you in the back at any time."

"This matter is difficult to investigate, but it should not be difficult to investigate, but it is difficult to handle."

Lei Jie scratched his head: "How difficult is it?"

Jiang Chen sighed: "Whether you have the ability and method to investigate is another matter, but it is definitely not a favor."

"There are many people who have seen this, so it must have spread in the factory. If you find out that it is related to Liu Dayou's nephew, then Liu Dayou will definitely hold a grudge and offend the leader."

"If you find out that you have nothing to do with Liu Dayou's nephew, then the majority of workers will definitely not buy it and will definitely scold you behind your back for colluding with the superiors, and the officials will protect each other."

"It means that no matter what the outcome is, you can't get it right."

"And more importantly, the time when this generation of Mingzhi died is too strange. Maybe there is a hidden secret behind it, which is even more involved."

Lei Jie said: "I've accepted everything, what should I do? How about I go find Section Chief Qi and give up this task?"

Jiang Chen thought for a while: "Since you have already received it, let's check it out, otherwise you will be looked down upon. Tell me what you find out, and I will give you some advice on how to deal with it."

Lei Jie said: "But I can't!"

For a guy from an alley, it takes less than three months to get into the security department with full qualifications. If you ask him to fight and arrest people, he may just roll up his sleeves and get in.

But if you ask him to investigate the case, he doesn't know where to start.

Jiang Chen said: "Go to the fourth workshop first and ask Dai Mingzhi's colleagues to find out some information."

"Remember, don't ask questions in public. Call them out one by one to chat. Let's light up the cigarettes first, just like chatting to get information. They are all in the same workshop, so they must know something."

"Then, you go to Dai Mingzhi's house and find out about the situation. Someone has just died at his house. When you go there, you can pick up some food and then have a nice chat."

Lei Jie had no experience, but he was very smart. Jiang Chen gave him a rough idea and he knew what to do.

He thought for a moment and said, "You can ask the workers, but I'm not very good at comforting people, and there may be orphans and widowers in their homes. How about you go with me?"

Jiang Chen said: "Okay, you tell me the situation first, and I will analyze it for you."

Lei Jie nodded: "I don't have many clues right now, just a suicide note. You can read it first."

After saying that, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Chen.

Due to the snow, the paper has been soaked a little, but the words on it can be seen clearly.

Jiang Chen said: "This is an important clue. You just keep it in your pocket? The soaked paper is easily damaged. Find a notebook or briefcase with a slip, straighten it and sandwich it in the middle."

Lei Jie nodded; "Okay."

Jiang Chen briefly scanned the suicide note, and the content on it was actually very simple.

They accuse Liu Dayou's nephew, Liu Fangming, a second-level worker in the fourth workshop, of bullying others for a long time, saying bad words and even punching and kicking others.

They even had to hand over ten yuan to him after he was paid, and warned him that if he dared to speak out, his uncle would fire Dai Mingzhi and make him lose his job.

Dai Mingzhi dared not speak out when he was angry.

Later, Dai Mingzhi's daughter Dai Fang came to the factory to get the key from him. Liu Fangming happened to see her and coveted the beautiful Dai Fang.

He threatened Dai Mingzhi to marry his daughter to him, otherwise he would kill his whole family.

Dai Mingzhi was unwilling, but Liu Fangming pressed hard.

The trigger that led to the tragedy was the competition for factory director, and Liu Dayou had a high probability of being elected.

Before, Liu Dayou was only the branch secretary, but Liu Fangming was so lawless.

If Dai Mingzhi becomes the director of the factory, not only will he have no way to survive, but his daughter's happiness will also be ruined.

Therefore, he chose to leave a suicide note and die.

If he dies, no one can force his daughter.

Jiang Chen felt a little heavy after reading this suicide note.

No matter in any era, there is darkness that the sun cannot shine on.

Regardless of how Dai Mingzhi died, the contents of the suicide note are most likely true.

Then the nature of this matter is somewhat serious.

Just plundering workers' wages is enough to put him in jail.

If it is a robbery, it is possible to shoot directly.

But Jiang Chen couldn't understand that since Dai Mingzhi was able to write such a long suicide note with clear logic, it showed that he was educated and not stupid.

He didn't understand how an educated sixth-level worker could be bullied by a second-level worker and didn't even have the courage to resist.

A person who has the courage to commit suicide does not have the courage to resist?

In the afternoon, Lei Jie went to the workshop to investigate on his own, while Jiang Chen was in a daze in the manufacturing workshop of Sangang Machine Tool.

Seeing that Jiang Chen was in a bad mood, everyone silently went about their work without looking for boredom.

The assembly workers who had no tasks for the time being also kept in touch with each other over and over with the grinding tools.

When it was time to get off work, Jiang Chen went to find Liu Yue: "Xiaoyue, Lei Jie and I are going to do some errands later. You can go home after get off work."

"be careful on the road."

Together with Lei Jie, Liu Yue subconsciously thought of a dangerous mission, and her heart suddenly tightened: "Then be careful. What will I tell my mother when I get home?"

Jiang Chen said: "Just say that I am working overtime and will come back later. You guys can eat first."

Liu Yue nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you at home."

Jiang Chen touched his head and turned to leave.

Before getting off work, Lei Jie came over with an angry look on his face: "Let's go, let's go to Dai Mingzhi's house."

"I followed your method and talked to people in their workshop. Everything in the letter is true. It's even more outrageous than what was written above."

"That day, Dai Fang went to the workshop and was seen by Liu Fangming. Liu Fangming did not dare to use his hands or feet, but blocked the road and refused to let him go. In order to protect his daughter, Dai Mingzhi was beaten to a bloody head."

Jiang Chen said: "What kind of person is Dai Mingzhi? How come he remains silent even after being bullied like this?"

Lei Jie said: "He is an honest and dedicated person with an elementary school education. He is loyal and honest. He just works hard all day long."

"As for Liu Fangming, he made a bunch of bad friends outside and behaved recklessly. Dai Zhiming's workers also dared to get angry but dare not speak out."

"There used to be a co-worker who couldn't stand it anymore and said something to Liu Fangming. That night, someone smashed the windows of their house and poured a bucket of dung in. After that, no one dared to speak."

Jiang Chen said: "This nature is getting worse and worse."

"Let's go to Dai Mingzhi's house."
