Huang Zhongcheng was desperate at this time, at least he thought so.
As the niece-in-law and confidant of Deputy Factory Director Huang, Huang Zhongcheng knew very well that an invisible war broke out between Deputy Factory Director Wang and Li Weidong.
Since Deputy Factory Director Wang became the son-in-law of the Liu family, relying on the power of the Liu family, he has won many battles over the years and has been promoted to deputy director, as fast as a rocket.
This gave Deputy Factory Director Wang a blind confidence. He believed that he could solve any problem or anyone with his ability and his relationship with the Liu family.
Otherwise, he would not dare to blatantly bully a weak female worker.
but.
After Huang Zhongcheng investigated Li Weidong's situation, he immediately realized that Deputy Factory Director Wang had no chance of winning in this war. When the war was over, Deputy Factory Director Wang would only end up in jail.
A leader who has been commended by ministries and commissions many times and earns a huge amount of foreign exchange for the country every year is no longer something that Deputy Factory Director Wang can solve through tough tactics.
As for conspiracy, that is even more impossible. The country cannot watch such an outstanding talent being deliberately framed.
Besides, the Liu family's buttocks are not clean, and the things they have done in the past are time bombs.
Huang Zhongcheng was scared.
Over the years, he had abandoned his wife in the countryside, endured the humiliation and humiliation of the fat pig, and finally reached his current position.
He cannot be buried with the Liu family.
Regarding the promotion of Deputy Factory Director Wang over the years, Huang Zhongcheng did not think that it was Deputy Factory Director Wang's kindness to him, and he had no sense of gratitude in his heart.
Therefore, after simply weighing the pros and cons, Huang Zhongcheng quickly made up his mind.
He wants to pave the way for his progress by reporting Deputy Factory Director Wang and using the blood of the Liu family.
Unfortunately
Director Li didn't seem interested.
No, maybe it's not that I'm not interested, but that I'm not willing to pay too much.
Thinking of this, Huang Zhongcheng gritted his teeth and looked at Li Weidong who was about to see off the guests.
"Director Li, my request is very simple. As long as you don't involve me when dealing with the Liu family and Deputy Factory Director Wang."
"What you can get is evidence of what the Liu family did before liberation."
Hearing this, Li Weidong slowly stopped, sat back on the chair, crossed his left leg over his right leg, and tapped his fingers on the table.
"Comrade Huang Zhongcheng, it is everyone's duty to report and expose bad elements hidden among the masses. You use these things to seek benefits."
Hearing this, Huang Zhongcheng's heart tightened. He stood up and wanted to speak, but was pushed back by Li Weidong with a wave of his hand.
Li Weidong stared into Huang Zhongcheng's eyes and said seriously: "I can tell you clearly today that even without the information you provided, we can find evidence that the Liu family committed crimes."
"I welcome your ability to exterminate relatives in a just and righteous manner, but I cannot make any guarantees to you."
"I can only tell you this. You are now standing on a big ship that is about to sink. If you want to follow this ship to the end, you will only die. If you jump off the ship in time, you may still have a chance to be rescued."
"As long as you have not done anything that is unworthy of the country or the people, the higher authorities will consider your meritorious service and will treat you leniently."
After saying this, Li Weidong ignored Huang Zhongcheng again, but lit up a cigarette and started smoking.
No matter from his attitude or expression, Huang Zhongcheng could not see a trace of nervousness, and his heart sank involuntarily.
Yes, just as the director said, the reason why the Liu family has been able to hide for so long, in addition to their thorough layout, is that the most important reason is that they have been acting cautiously over the years. Whether it is housing or food and clothing, they are no different from ordinary people. The difference is that he gets along very well with the residents in the courtyard.
No one would have thought that their family was actually the owner of a machinery factory who escaped from a small foreign-style building under the cover of a fire more than 20 years ago.
However, since Mr. Liu fell ill and was hospitalized, the power of the Liu family has been divided among several sons and daughters.
They changed their usual caution, took out the gold and silver they had hidden for decades, and went to the pigeon market to exchange them for money. They had to eat one meal of meat every day.
All the clothes were changed into Chinese tunic suits and military uniforms. The residents in the compound had long felt strange and reported to the subdistrict office several times. However, the comrades in the subdistrict office thought that Deputy Director Wang, as the deputy director, would have higher welfare benefits. The Liu family also had legitimate jobs, and some of them were leaders at the same level as Deputy Factory Director Wang. They thought that although their food and clothing were out of line, their origins were not unknown, so they did not investigate seriously.
Li Weidong and the others will find out these things sooner or later. By then, the Liu family will not be able to tell the source of the family's money, even if they open their mouths.
The information he provided could not play a key role in bringing down the Liu family.
Thinking like this, Huang Zhongcheng was inevitably a little discouraged.
He sighed deeply and said: "Director Li, the reason why I stand up today is because I have received many years of education and cannot tolerate those who have done evil in the past to escape punishment. Even though they are my wife's natal family, I still want to exterminate my relatives. I have no intention of taking credit for it.”
"Okay! Very good! Comrade Huang Zhongcheng, if you think so, that's right for you. Don't worry, we will not let any bad person go, nor will we wrongly accuse any good person."
Li Weidong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Huang Zhongcheng finally lowered his head.
In fact, the current investigation of the Liu family is in trouble. After all, Fatty Yu is not a professional person and there is no way to investigate many things.
As for the small police, they still have to deal with matters in the neighborhood on weekdays, and they don't have the extra power to target the Liu family.
With the information provided by Huang Zhongcheng, a lot of effort can be saved.
The small police officer seemed particularly excited when he received a call from Li Weidong.
After Hu Sanshou was caught at the police station, he seemed to be in a daze. He didn't say a word even though the police officer was talking about it.
The investigation of the task force was also in trouble. This was the first time that a small police officer was responsible for such a major case.
Such a situation has made him have trouble sleeping and eating for a while. He is considering giving up the position of leader of the task force if no clues can be found, and making a review to the superiors. Unexpectedly, Li Weidong has a new person on his side. breakthrough.
"Brother Wei Dong, are you sure that Deputy Factory Director Wang's secretary may come forward to testify against Deputy Factory Director Wang?"
"Not only Deputy Factory Director Wang, but also the Liu family. Huang Zhongcheng is the niece and son-in-law of Deputy Factory Director Wang. He often goes in and out of the Liu family on weekdays. Many things of the Liu family are entrusted to him. In the past, he would As a servant of the Liu family, he can naturally know the secrets of the Liu family."
Thinking of Huang Zhongcheng's words, Li Weidong felt a sigh of relief in his heart.
Huang Zhongcheng is the secretary of the deputy director in the factory. He is considered a young and promising person. He always greets anyone he sees with a smile.
but.
In front of the Liu family, they are no different from pugs.
The Liu family is eager to come and go to Huang Zhongcheng. On weekdays, they go to the grain station to buy grain, go to the briquette factory to buy briquettes, take their children out to play, and help the Liu family cook. These are all routine operations.
Sometimes, Huang Zhongcheng had to wash the feet of the old lady of the Liu family and help the children of the Liu family write reports.
It can be said that Huang Zhongcheng is almost like a slave of the Liu family. Even so, the Liu family still feels that Huang Zhongcheng's transformation from a farmer to a city dweller is all due to them. They usually beat and scold Huang Zhongcheng. .
When Huang Zhongcheng explained these situations, he couldn't help crying.
Imagine what it would be like for a seven-foot-tall man to cry in front of others?
However, Li Weidong did not pity Huang Zhongcheng.
His tragedy was doomed from the moment he abandoned his innocent wife in the countryside in order to go to the city.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the small policeman did not bring anyone to the machinery factory, but asked Li Weidong to send Huang Zhongcheng to the police station.
There happened to be nothing going on in the workshop, and Li Weidong was free, so he agreed immediately.
Jeeps race along the wide streets.
Huang Zhongcheng looked at the retreating scenery outside the window with a sad look on his face: "Director Li, do I have to squat on the fence too?"
"It depends on whether you are involved in the illegal activities carried out by Deputy Factory Director Wang and the Liu family. Of course, if you can kill your relatives out of justice, the comrades at the police station will deal with it leniently."
"You don't need to comfort me. Countless gold bars and antiques have passed through my hands and flowed into the pigeon market over the years."
"antique?"
Li Weidong frowned.
In this era, domestic antiques were not valuable and were very sensitive. Even if people are caught reselling some supplies at Pigeon Market, as long as their attitude is sincere, the police station will generally deal with them leniently considering that those people are forced by life.
But antiques are different.
According to Fatty Yu's account, there are people who specialize in buying antiques in the pigeon market. Once those antiques fall into their hands, they will never appear on the market again. Fatty Yu couldn't figure out whether those people hid the antiques or transported them overseas through special channels.
Li Weidong thinks the latter is more likely. Under the current situation, keeping antiques in your hands is like a bag of explosives, and most people will not even think about collecting them.
Thinking that those people might transport antiques overseas, Li Weidong certainly couldn't sit idly by and asked Fatty Yu to help with the investigation. Unfortunately, those people were very cautious in doing things. Even Fatty Yu, who had been in the pigeon market for more than ten years, The old ticket dealers also don’t know their identities.
Now that he heard that Huang Zhongcheng had sold antiques in the pigeon market, Li Weidong suddenly became curious.
He gently turned the steering wheel with one hand, took out a cigarette from his pocket with the other hand and threw it away.
"Old Huang, what did you mean by selling antiques just now? Is the Liu family so short of money?"
Huang Zhongcheng took the cigarette, took out the match from his pocket, and was about to light it when the jeep suddenly jolted and the matchbox fell under the seat.
After Huang Zhongcheng was in a hurry, he finally lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled a cloud of white mist, and relaxed.
"Why is the Liu family short of money? Over the years, I have sold more than a hundred small yellow croakers for them. They sell antiques."
A trace of doubt appeared on Huang Zhongcheng's face hidden behind the smoke, and Li Weidong looked at him through the rearview mirror.
"What's wrong with them selling antiques?"
"They don't seem to be selling antiques, but giving them to the antique dealer."
After Huang Zhongcheng said this, he seemed to feel that his words were a bit ridiculous. He quickly shook his head and said: "How is this possible? The Liu family are all greedy for money. How could they give antiques to others for nothing!"
Seeing that Huang Zhongcheng's thinking was getting more and more confusing, Li Weidong smiled and said, "Can you tell me the detailed process of selling antiques for the Liu family?"
After hearing this, Huang Zhongcheng's eyes regained consciousness, and he said in a neither sad nor happy tone: "I have helped the Liu family sell antiques five times. The first time, I just became the deputy factory owner." As the chief secretary, one summer afternoon, I received a call from the Liu family in the office.
The call was from Liu Changshan, the eldest son of the Liu family. During the phone call, he did not tell me that he wanted to sell antiques. He just said that he wanted me to take some things to sell at the pigeon market.
Before this, I had helped the Liu family sell small yellow croakers several times. At that time, I thought it was also small yellow croakers this time, so I didn’t think much about it. I rushed to the Liu family after work.
When I saw the two cyan porcelain bottles, I was stunned.
Although I don't understand antiques and am not an expert in treasure appraisal, the heaviness exuded by those two cyan porcelain vases cannot be concealed.
At that time, I subconsciously wanted to refuse.
At this time, the old lady of the Liu family came out of the house and told me in a cold tone that if I dared to refuse, she would ask Deputy Director Wang to send me back to the countryside.
You also know that I have sacrificed everything for who I am today, how could I give up halfway!
So, I had no choice but to be bold and went to the pigeon market on the Xizhimen side in the early morning. According to the Liu family's instructions, I handed the porcelain bottle to a bearded man. The bearded man did not pay me for the porcelain vase, but handed me a note.
Since I didn't get the money, I would say that the Liu family seems not to be selling antiques, but giving them away. "
Li Weidong frowned: "So, have you seen the person who collects antiques?"
Huang Zhongcheng nodded: "Although the place where we met was dimly lit and we couldn't see each other clearly, in the following time, I sent antiques five or six times in a row, and the people I contacted all had beards. After so many times, Contact, now even if I close my eyes, I can clearly describe what a beard looks like.”
Li Weidong nodded slightly, keeping this situation in mind, and asked with a smile: "You just said that when you gave away the antiques, Beard gave you a note. So, is it like this every time? On the note What did you write?"
"It's like this every time. At the beginning, I obeyed the Liu family's orders and did not open the note. When I returned to the Liu family, I gave the note directly to Mrs. Liu.
After two or three times, I could no longer resist my curiosity. On the way back, I secretly opened the note. On the note was a line of numbers.
The subsequent notes also had numbers, but the numbers were different. "
Huang Zhongcheng's words solved a doubt in Li Weidong's mind.
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
