Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

"Professor, we have recently been investigating some things about the history of our hometown and have discovered a lot of hidden clues." Ran Qiuye said straight to the point.

Professor Zhang nodded and said, "Go ahead and talk. I'm listening."

Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye told them everything about their discoveries and questions. Professor Zhang was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "What you have discovered is indeed a secret in the history of our hometown."

"Professor, do you know these things?" Ran Qiuye asked.

I know you have some problems with the factory, but that doesn't mean you are a suspect. We just want to find out the truth."

Jia Dongxu's expression eased a little, but he still looked unhappy: "Mingjie, you know I don't like being suspected. I really don't know about the loss of that batch of raw materials."

Xu Mingjie nodded, his eyes sincere: "Dongxu, I believe you. However, for the development of the factory and for the common interests of everyone, we need your cooperation. As long as you are willing, we will investigate the matter together and clear your name."

Jia Dongxu was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, Mingjie, I believe you. Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Xu Mingjie breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Thank you, Dongxu. First of all, we need you to recall the situation of that day in detail. Every detail is important."

Jia Dongxu frowned and recalled: "I remember that day very clearly. I was busy in the workshop and never left. At noon, I had lunch with Lao Li, and he can testify to that."

Xu Mingjie nodded and took out a small notebook to record: "Okay, Dongxu, are there any other details?"

Jia Dongxu shook his head: "I can't think of it for now. You can ask Lao Li, he should remember."

Xu Mingjie put away the notebook and stood up: "Okay, Dongxu, thank you for your cooperation. If there is any new discovery, we will inform you in time."

After leaving Jia Dongxu's house, Xu Mingjie felt a little relieved. He knew that only by finding the lost raw materials as soon as possible could he calm everyone's doubts and worries. He decided to go to Lao Li to verify the situation first.

Old Li's home was on the other side of the courtyard, and Xu Mingjie found him quickly. Old Li was repairing an old chair in the yard, and when he saw Xu Mingjie coming over, he greeted him warmly: "Mingjie, what brings you here?"

Xu Mingjie walked over and said with a smile: "Old Li, I have something to ask you."

Lao Li put down his tools and patted the sawdust off his hands: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Xu Mingjie became serious: "It's about the batch of raw materials that were lost in the factory. Jia Dongxu said that he had lunch with you that day. Do you remember?"

Lao Li nodded: "Of course I remember. We had dinner together that day. He was in the workshop the whole time and never left."

Xu Mingjie frowned slightly: "Are you sure?"

Old Li nodded affirmatively: "I am sure, Mingjie. Jia Dongxu did not leave the workshop that day."

Xu Mingjie's mood became complicated. Jia Dongxu's suspicion seemed to have been reduced, but the problem was still not solved. Where did the batch of raw materials go? He felt a headache, as if a fog was shrouding the whole thing.

When they got home, Li Hong noticed that he was in a bad mood and asked with concern, "Mingjie, how is it going?"

Xu Mingjie sighed and sat at the table: "Jia Dongxu's suspicion seems to be ruled out, but the problem is still not solved. I really don't know what to do."

Li Hong came over and patted his shoulder gently: "Mingjie, don't worry, take your time. There will always be a way."

Xu Mingjie smiled bitterly: "I hope so."

That night, Xu Mingjie lay in bed, thinking about a lot of things. It was late at night, but he couldn't fall asleep. He kept thinking about every detail in the factory, hoping to find a breakthrough. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility - could it be that the loss was caused by the mistake of an internal staff? This thought made him sit up suddenly, and his heart beat faster.

The next morning, Xu Mingjie decided to look for Ran Qiuye. He knew that Ran Qiuye was not only his friend, but also a wise and insightful person. Maybe she could give him some inspiration.

Ran Qiuye was busy in the office. When she saw Xu Mingjie coming in, she greeted him with a smile: "Mingjie, why are you looking for me so early? What's the matter?"

Xu Mingjie sat down, his expression serious: "Qiu Ye, I need your help. The matter of the lost raw materials in the factory has been bothering me. I have some ideas, but I need your opinion."

Ran Qiuye nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"I was wondering, could it be that the loss was caused by an internal mistake?" Xu Mingjie expressed his guess.

Ran Qiuye pondered for a moment and nodded: "It's possible. Mingjie, your idea makes sense. We need to investigate further to see if there is any mistake or negligence on the part of internal personnel."

Xu Mingjie breathed a sigh of relief, and felt his thoughts gradually becoming clearer: "Thank you, Qiuye. Next, I will work with you to find out the truth about this matter."

Ran Qiuye smiled and said, "You're welcome, Mingjie. This is our common responsibility. We will definitely find the truth."

In the next few days, Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye began to carefully investigate every aspect of the factory. They consulted a large number of records, questioned many employees, and gradually narrowed the scope of suspects. Finally, they found a breakthrough in an unexpected place - there was an obvious error in the warehouse records of raw materials. The recorder seemed to have made a fatal mistake at a certain time period.

"This is the problem." Ran Qiuye pointed at the error in the record with a serious expression.

Xu Mingjie nodded, and suddenly understood: "Yes, it was this mistake that led to the loss of raw materials."

They immediately found the relevant recorder and after detailed questioning, they finally found out the truth of the matter. It turned out that the recorder had made a mistake in recording due to personal problems and negligence that day, which led to the loss.

The truth was revealed, and Xu Mingjie finally felt relieved. Although the problem was solved, he still felt a little regretful - such negligence could have been avoided. When he got home, Li Hong saw that his brows were relaxed and asked with concern: "Mingjie, is the problem solved?"

Xu Mingjie nodded and smiled easily: "It's solved. It was a mistake in the record. We have found the reason."

Li Hong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's good, Mingjie. You've worked hard."

Xu Mingjie felt his wife's care and was filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Hong. Your support is very important to me."
