Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

"We can't take any more scrap metal. The security department has been checking very strictly these days. Brother Zhang, I'm worried..."

"What are you afraid of? They don't dare to search us. Besides, if we quit, how can we pay our debts?"

"Can't we do it again after the storm has died down in a few days?"

"You absolutely cannot stop for the next two days. I can't tell you the specific reason. It's best if you don't know. Anyway, it will benefit both of us later."

"Alas! If I had known this, I shouldn't have gambled. It's too late to regret now."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'm warning you. You've looked ugly and absent-minded these past two days. Today, even the workshop director and your colleagues noticed that something was wrong with you. If I hadn't been covering for you, you would have been exposed long ago."

"Alas, I have never done anything wrong in my life."

"Everyone has a first time, and it's never too late to do it now."

"Ugh!"

"Why are you sighing? Let's stop talking. Be careful, the walls may have ears."

"It's very empty here, there's no one here."

Having said that, the two were silent for a while and soon left together.

The two men were very cautious and stood in an open area to talk. No one could hide within 40 to 50 meters around them.

Even though there were people in the distance, I couldn't hear their conversation clearly.

Unfortunately, Cao Yue’s body is not only strengthened now, but his facial features are also more acute than those of ordinary people, so he heard everything the two said.

Cao Yue slowly stuck his head out, staring at the two people's backs, memorizing their body shapes firmly.

He didn't rush to arrest anyone.

When catching a thief, seize the stolen goods; when catching an adulterer, catch both of them!

Judging from the conversation between the two just now, there may be another hidden story behind the theft of scrap metal.

If the two of them refuse to admit their mistakes, Cao Yue will be helpless and may even be bitten back.

Therefore, Cao Yue planned to block them at the factory gate when he got off work.

This is something that cannot be done alone.

Cao Yue returned to the security department and told his master Ma Weijun about the incident.

"Damn it! I knew there was something fishy going on here." Ma Weijun growled, suppressing his anger.

Then, he let out a long breath, looked at Cao Yue and said approvingly:

"Xiao Yue, you did a good job. Fortunately, you did not act rashly. Otherwise, even if we caught them, they would deny their guilt and we would have no way to deal with them."

"If we bring this to Director Yang and Deputy Director Li, they won't side with our security department."

"Master, after get off work, let's go to the factory gate to arrest them and catch them red-handed. This way, even those who are shielding them will have nothing to say." Cao Yue suggested.

"That's it."

Ma Weijun nodded and said, "Don't tell anyone about this. When you get off work, call Gao Lisheng. The three of us are enough."

"Okay." Cao Yue responded.

After the two men finished discussing the arrest, Ma Weijun asked curiously, "Xiao Yue, why are you running to that corner at noon instead of eating in the restaurant?"

Cao Yue smiled and said, "I like to be alone. It's too noisy when there are too many people."

Ma Weijun shook his head helplessly: "You have been quiet since childhood and not very sociable. This is not good."

Cao Yue smiled and said nothing.

……

It was time to get off work, and the workers walked out of the workshop and poured towards the factory gate like a tide.

After a hard day's work, looking from afar, there is a sea of ​​people.

Cao Yue stood bored at the factory gate, pretending to be waiting for someone. His eyes seemed casual, but he was actually searching carefully in secret.

Ten minutes later, Cao Yue finally saw the two familiar figures.

Cao Yue stretched and waved his right hand with the watch on it towards the guard room.

This was a signal. Ma Weijun and Gao Lisheng had already been hiding inside, ready for action.

Soon, two workers in blue work clothes slowly walked over with the crowd.

Because it was winter and they were wearing bulky clothes, the two of them did not show any flaws at all.

If Cao Yue didn't have sharp eyes, he would have recognized the two people long ago, but he wouldn't have been able to tell whether they had any scrap metal hidden on them.

Just as the two passed each other, Cao Yue took action.

He turned quickly and kicked both of them hard on the buttocks.

"what--!"

"what--!"

The two of them fell to the ground screaming almost at the same time.

Because there were workers all around, collisions were inevitable, causing others to exclaim and curse.

Just as Cao Yue took action.

Ma Weijun and Gao Lisheng rushed out from the guard room.

However, because there were workers blocking the way, he did not rush to the front immediately.

The two thieves struggled to get up, but Cao Yue kicked them in the back, causing them to scream miserably.

Now he lay on the ground obediently.

"Everyone make way, everyone make way."

Ma Weijun and Gao Lisheng pushed the crowd aside, ran over and twisted the two men's arms to restrain them.

The incident happened suddenly and the workers around were stunned for a moment before finally coming to their senses.

"Chief Ma, what's going on?"

Ma Weijun did not answer. He restrained the thief under him with one hand and unbuttoned the thief's clothes with the other hand.

Soon, the scrap metal tied around his waist was exposed.

Gao Lisheng also undressed the thief, and found a few pieces of scrap metal hidden around his waist.

"Wow! Stealing!"

There was a lot of noise all around. Workers who had already left the factory also gathered around. Together with the workers who were leaving later, there was a crowd of people and there was a danger of being trampled at any time.

"Everyone, move back, move back!"

Cao Yue stood up and shouted loudly.

The sound was like thunder, and the ears of nearby workers were buzzing.

"Don't block the road, get out of the way!" Cao Yue shouted coldly.

Soon, the workers dispersed to both sides, making way for a passage.

"Everyone has seen clearly that these two are the ones who stole the scrap metal from the factory recently."

After Ma Weijun finished speaking, he winked at Cao Yue and Gao Lisheng, and the three of them dragged the two thieves up and took them towards the factory.

On the way, Gao Lisheng said excitedly: "That's good, we have done something great."

Cao Yue and Ma Weijun looked at each other and said nothing.

Protecting factory property is the security department's job.

It took such a long time to catch the culprit after the theft, and Ma Weijun was not on good terms with Director Yang and Deputy Director Li. It was unlikely that he would receive any reward for his meritorious service this time. At most, his merits and demerits would offset each other.

When I returned to the Security Department, my colleagues gathered around me and came up to congratulate me.

Deputy Section Chief Li Yuan looked a little unnatural. He glanced at the two thieves and asked:

"Chief, you are really capable. We were all helpless, but you caught the man as soon as you took action."

After saying that, he changed his tone and said meaningfully, "But were these two people really the ones who stole it? We must not catch the wrong people."

"Deputy Section Chief Li, don't worry, we are not wrong. We caught the criminal red-handed."

Gao Lisheng lifted up the clothes around the two men's waists, revealing the scrap metal tied inside.

"Oh, really? So that's how it is. But now these two people only have about 30 to 40 kilograms of scrap metal on them. Did they really steal all the scrap metal from before?"

Li Yuan deliberately raised his voice for the last sentence.

Ma Weijun could tell something was wrong and asked coldly, "Old Li, what do you mean? You are trying to exonerate the criminal in front of me. What do you want to do?"

"Chief, you misunderstood me."

Li Yuan quickly explained: "What I mean is that we must have sufficient evidence to arrest people, and we must not wrongly accuse people."

Ma Weijun said coldly: "Don't worry, I will never wrongly accuse a good person, and I will never let a bad person go."

The security personnel around were stunned and stood there in a daze.

I don’t know why the two section chiefs suddenly became so confrontational at this happy moment.

The smart ones have already realized that something is wrong.

Just now.

One of the thieves shouted, "It's unfair, we are innocent. This is the first time we have stolen scrap metal. The things that were stolen from the factory before were not ours."

"Yes, yes, I am also innocent. This is my first time too."

The other thief also reacted and shouted in a low voice.

This person was obviously frightened out of his wits, and his voice was as small as a mosquito.

See this scene.

Ma Weijun's face looked extremely ugly.

A hint of pride flashed in the depths of Li Yuan's eyes.
