Li Ji was stunned.
How could such a coincidence happen? It might be bad sooner or later, but it happened that night?
My heart jolted suddenly, and suddenly I felt my palm was empty, and I suddenly realized that my phone was no longer in my hand.
When I looked down, I saw that the phone had fallen to the ground and was broken into pieces.
Li Ji hurriedly knelt down, picked up the phone, and quickly put back the battery and case that had fallen aside.
As soon as I turned on the phone, the screen lit up a few times, and a serious call came through.
"Hey! Hey! Are you listening?...Hey, what's going on?...Hey! Hey!..."
Li Jiding calmed down and quickly put the phone close to his ear: "I'm listening, I'm listening... you say, you say..."
"People in your industry said that the backend host lost power and the monitoring system did not work all night. The specific reason is unknown..."
"Isn't there a UPS (uninterruptible power supply)?"
"I forgot to turn on UPS that day..."
It's really big, Li Ji's head is big.
"Don't the Municipal Security Department still have backups?"
Li Ji refused to give up.
"They said that the Chengdong branch has its own separate monitoring system and is not connected to the city branch."
Li Ji was completely speechless.
His chest was full, he couldn't breathe, and his hands and feet felt cold.
"Damn it, I suspect there's something wrong here!" Zheng Zheng groaned angrily.
Doubt is doubtful, and you have no evidence.
Even if you deliberately didn't provide it, or simply destroyed the surveillance video from that night, you won't be able to get a handle on it now.
Li Ji was at a loss, a sense of despair welling up from the bottom of his heart.
"Forget it, I'd better go find Wang Datou again..." He sighed solemnly, "He said that your matter has something to do with Ma Dabao..."
Ma Dabao? Li Ji was shocked.
Ma Dabao is the director of Dongsheng Village Committee and a Muslim. In the east area of the city, Ma Dabao stomped his feet, making the ground tremble.
However, he had no relationship with Ma Dabao, and there was no conflict of interest. Why would Ma Dabao frame him?
Li Ji couldn't understand.
Could it be because of Tao Ping and Tao Shanming, Li Ji instinctively thought of these two people.
Are they still unwilling to let go of themselves?
Li Ji couldn't help feeling angry.
That night, I was raped and demanded 10,000 yuan. Later, he was chased wildly. If it weren't for his solemnity, he would have been regarded as a robber again and spent a night in the police station.
It was obvious that he was getting back his own money, but before he could settle down for a few days, he was accused of being stolen money and accepting bribes. It’s really a dumb thing to eat Coptis chinensis. There is pain that cannot be expressed, and anger that cannot be expressed.
"How about you go find Mr. Wan?" Zheng Zheng said suddenly.
Looking for Mr. Wan? This is a solution.
But as a last resort, Li Ji really didn't want to trouble him about his own affairs.
Favor is like the interest on money deposited in a bank. It depends on whether you deposit more or less money. Li Ji thought to himself that he didn't help Mr. Wan much, especially after Wan Cheng's accident.
"Then, is there no other way?" Li Ji asked.
After a solemn silence, he sighed: "Oh, it would be great if there was surveillance video..."
Li Ji felt cold and suddenly remembered something.
That was not long after he arrived at the Chengdong branch. One day, around four o'clock in the morning, I was awakened by the ringing of my cell phone.
The call was from Qi Meihua, the director of the sales office.
She said she received an emergency call from the 110 center of the Public Security Bureau, informing her that an abnormal situation was being monitored in the branch's business room and that the alarm bell kept ringing.
As the vice president in charge, Li Ji has only been in office for a few days, but he still has the responsibility.
There was no other way, so he got up quickly and finally took a taxi to the branch.
When I arrived at the business office, I saw that all the doors and windows were intact and there were no signs of being pried, and there was no trace of anyone inside.
When I went to the duty room to retrieve the surveillance video, I realized that a few big rats were running around in the room and triggered the alarm device.
A false alarm.
Li Ji wondered how the Public Security Bureau would know something was wrong in his business office.
When asked later, Qi Meihua told him that the monitoring system in the branch's business room was connected to the 110 center of the Public Security Bureau.
Li Ji suddenly realized it and understood.
Thinking of this incident again, Li Ji couldn't help but feel moved and asked: "Isn't your 110 center connected to the surveillance system in our branch's business room? Can you see it there?"
There was silence on the phone, and then I heard Zheng Zheng patting his head and getting excited: "You're right! How could I forget this?"
"Then I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to go to the 110 center now to have a look..."
After speaking, Li Ji Zhengzheng hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.
Li Ji put down his phone and lay down on the bed.
The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the crisp birds chirped one after another.
Li Ji felt unspeakably tired and couldn't exert any strength in his body. It was like there was a high mountain in front of him and he couldn't reach the top.
Looking at her phone, Liao Ying didn't make a call or send a message. In addition to being disappointed, Li Ji was also a little resentful and angry.
The weather is very good, but the only bad thing is people's mood.
Li Ji closed his eyes, listening to the gentle sound of wind and his own thin breathing, his consciousness gradually blurred, and he fell asleep again, half asleep.
When I woke up again, the shadow of the sun was already setting in the west, and the room was dark.
Looking at the phone, there were no calls or text messages. The screen was gray and quiet, as if he had fallen asleep.
My stomach growled.
Li Ji got up and sat at the table blankly.
There was nothing to eat in the house except instant noodles.
After thinking for a long time, Li Ji still didn't want to go out.
At this moment, he just wanted to be invisible and not be seen by anyone.
I had no choice but to swallow another pack of instant noodles.
After drinking a large glass of water, my stomach suddenly swelled, as if it were a slowly inflating balloon. That kind of fullness makes people feel empty.
The phone is silent.
Li Ji has never been so eager for a phone call, even a text message, as he is now.
It turns out that having nothing to do is also a kind of suffering. He sighed unconsciously and lay down on the bed boredly.
Still sleepy, still lack of energy, no energy, but can no longer fall asleep.
Don't know what to do. I picked up the book on the pillow, looked at it for a few times, and then put it down again.
Time is so slow and so long.
Li Ji didn't dare to think about it.
This time it is true, people may really want him to go in and put him in jail.
Li Ji shuddered, and his uneasy heart suddenly hung in the air.
He controlled himself and didn't think about it. It seemed that as long as he didn't think about it, it wouldn't exist and wouldn't happen.
Imagining the cramped space and small dark windows in the prison, Li Ji felt a deep fear piercing his heart.
He couldn't help but let out an "ah" sound, pulled the quilt over, and covered his head and face tightly.
Feeling suffocated, the phone rang.
The ringing was very harsh, and seemed to be suddenly several times louder than usual.
Li Ji shook off the quilt suddenly, gasping for air, like a person who had been immersed in the water for a long time and could no longer hold his breath, and suddenly raised his head.
After a moment of dizziness, he grabbed his phone.
It's solemn.
Li Ji stared at the flashing screen, his heart beating a few more times.
"Hello!"
Li Ji answered the phone. The voice was so far away, so floating, as if it was coming from another person's mouth.
"I went to the 110 center and asked. They only save external surveillance videos for 15 days, and then the data is overwritten..."
Li Ji felt that everything around him suddenly stopped. All he could hear was his pounding heartbeat and heavy breathing.
Misfortunes never come singly.
The mobile phone in Li Ji's hand was so heavy that he could no longer hold it.
"...Fortunately, they still have backups there..."
He breathed solemnly, with a sense of joy in his voice.
"Damn it, can't you just get to the point first!"
Li Ji's heart suddenly dropped at this moment, and he let out a long breath.
"I will hand over the video to Lao Li now. Your matter should be settled soon."
"Old Zheng, thank you so much..."
Li Ji's throat felt hot.
"Hey, brother's business is my business, why are you being polite to me..."
Li Ji was speechless for a moment.
"When this is over, let's have a good drink. We haven't been together for a while, haha."
After a solemn chuckle, he hung up the phone.
Li Ji was stunned. After a while, he slowly put the phone next to the pillow and leaned against the bed.
The sun was bright, and the room had a cool warmth unique to autumn.
On the white wall above the table, two flies were still crawling slowly occasionally, seemingly unaware that their season had passed.
Li Ji watched quietly, as if he was deeply confused.
The sun finally faded. There were noisy sounds of people and cars in the yard, and it was time to get off work.
It wasn't until dusk passed through the window and the surroundings were quiet that Li Ji went downstairs.
After eating dumplings at the small shop in the alley behind, Li Ji slowly walked back along the shadow of the trees at the base of the wall.
The phone rang.
Li Ji looked and saw that it was Liao Ying.
He stood still, stared at the number, sighed, and still didn't answer.
The phone was disconnected.
Li Ji suddenly felt very irritable, with countless thoughts surging in his chest, but he couldn't find an outlet.
The phone rang again.
Li Ji subconsciously wanted to hang up. But as soon as his finger touched the screen, he stopped again and quickly pressed the answer button.
This time it was a serious call.
"Brother, the report on your case was sent to the director and was suppressed..."
"Suppressed?" Li Ji was stunned.
"Well," he mused solemnly, "Brother, I really didn't expect that your matter would alarm some important people..."
Li Ji's eyes froze.
"There are some things that I'm not comfortable saying too much," Zheng Zheng's voice lowered, "I've tried my best, brother, but my ability is limited. I think you should find Mr. Wan and think of a solution..."
They both fell silent at the same time.
After a long while, I heard someone say solemnly and leisurely: "Tell Mr. Wan and ask him to find Ma Dabao..."
"Okay, I understand...thank you..."
The cool night breeze made Li Ji's heart feel chilly. It took a long time before he said anything.
Zheng Zheng said no more and hung up the phone quietly.
Li Ji frowned, his mouth felt sour, and he felt uncomfortable in his stomach, and he wanted to vomit it out.
The shadows of the trees swayed and the wind whistled.
Li Ji walked forward slowly.
Under the dim street light, the figure looked a little thin and lonely.
He finally stopped, picked up his cell phone, and dialed Wan Daming's number...
