Yi Haoran was taken to the county police station - the original Cangwu County government office and was temporarily detained. He was under "preventive arrest" and had no clear charges, so he was not interrogated. The police sent him directly to the squad room and went to sell the goods.
He was not the only one in the squad room. In order to ensure the arrival of the grain fleet, Zheng Ergen carried out a preventive arrest in Wuzhou according to Xie Erren's instructions and arrested many people who "may be a threat". Naturally, the Gourd Monk's random breaking of the Gourd Case is also indispensable.
Yi Haoran saw that the squad room was filled with all kinds of people who had been arrested for unknown reasons, and he felt certain that the thieves were suspicious of him. But looking at this situation, he doesn't take himself too seriously, which means that he is still safe at the moment, but his activities are restricted.
Yi Haoran didn't care about his personal safety. He had already put life and death aside. Even the major events in Wuzhou tonight have no impact, everything that needs to be done has been arranged. Originally, he was just sitting in the shop, waiting for dawn to verify the results.
When his thoughts turned to this, he stopped thinking about it and found a corner to sit against the wall, closing his eyes and concentrating.
After sending Zheng Ergen away to arrest people, Zhao Fengtian still felt uneasy. There must be an explanation for the mysterious disappearance of the transfer letter. What if there is a mole lurking next to the chief?
Thinking of this, he immediately thought of Cai Lan. Chief Xie has been spending the night at her place recently, reviewing official documents, and she is one of the people most likely to have access to official documents. And her questionable parentage...
Thinking of this, Zhao Toyota couldn't sit still anymore. He decided to go to Xie Erren first and report the situation before making a decision - after all, this matter involved people close to the chief.
However, he immediately backed down. Whether this incident was related to Cai Lan or not, it was a great embarrassment to Chief Xie. It's hard to tell how the chief will react. If Cai Lan has nothing to do with this matter, and Commander Jie becomes angry, he may not get any good results.
Thinking of this, he decided to investigate quietly for the time being. He called all the staff from Xie Erren's office and the naturalized citizens responsible for sending and receiving documents, and asked them carefully one by one to make sure that there were no mistakes in every link.
Now, all I have to do is go to his office and look for it, maybe it's missing somewhere.
Zhao Toyota quietly sent someone to find Xie Erren's security secretary and inquired about Xie Erren's current movements.
"Chief Xie is currently in the office over at the government office. He has informed that he will not return to the Third General Office tonight." The security secretary said, "He will sit at the headquarters."
"Where is Cai Lan now?"
"Nothing unusual."
"Come on, you accompany me to be a witness. Let's go to the Third General Office together and inspect the office of Chief Xie."
The security secretary was a little surprised and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I won't hide it from you." Zhao Toyota explained the circumstances of the missing transfer letter and his suspicions in detail. "This matter is of great importance. Without definite evidence, it is inconvenient to draw conclusions, let alone report to the chief."
"I understand." The security secretary also realized that this time the matter was a bit serious, "I will accompany you there!" He added, "It's best to be safe!"
"I hope so too." Zhao Toyota said, but he didn't have much hope in his heart. Xie Erren's office is cleaned every day, and there are systems for sending and receiving documents. It is impossible for documents to be left behind in the office.
If there are no documents, he can only report to Chief Xie.
Zhao Toyota and the security secretary went to the Third General Office. After opening the lock, they searched in the office for a long time. All the documents left in the office were reviewed according to the register. Many of them were found, and all of them were accounted for. Only this external transfer letter could not be found.
If this external transfer letter was not lost, the only possibility is that it was received in the confidential box belonging to Jing Erren. This confidential box is kept by his confidential personnel, and it contains high-level secret documents - but this possibility is slim.
Losing documents is a big deal no matter what, not to mention it is a very important transfer letter. This matter must be reported to Chief Xie immediately - he cannot bear this responsibility.
After hearing Zhao Toyota's report, Xie Erren's face suddenly became very ugly. After a long while he asked: "Do you have any strong evidence?"
"Currently we have no evidence, but according to the level of sending and receiving official documents, it was indeed lost in the office of the Third General Office." Zhao Toyota said.
Xie Erren's head was buzzing. Kumon has no legs and cannot walk. The only possibility is that someone took it away. In the office of the Third General Office, the only person besides himself who could quietly take away the documents was Cai Lan.
Of course, if we insist on expanding the scope of suspects, the servants serving Cai Lan, the confidential personnel who can enter and leave the office... there are four or five people who are also suspected, but at this moment, Xie Erren's intuition told him: take them away It was Cai Lan who filed the document!
A strong bitter taste instantly reverberated in his mouth, reminding Xie Erren of the feeling he felt in middle school when he discovered that the female classmate he had been pursuing for a long time actually had a boyfriend. My mind went blank for a moment.
When Zhao Toyota saw that Erren's face turned pale instantly, he knew something was wrong and quickly said: "Chief! Chief!"
He called out repeatedly, and Xie Erren finally came to his senses. I just felt my heart beating wildly and my whole body felt weak. To be honest, he didn't have much love for Cai Lan, but he thought he was considerate and kind to Cai Lan. He should be able to get the whole body and mind of this humble little girl, but he didn't expect that she was actually causing trouble behind his back!
A burst of rage surged into his heart. If he was just an ordinary middle school student in the past and could only "forget it", then now, he is an important official with the power of countless lives and deaths! Whoever wants to live can live, whoever wants to die must die. If Cai Lan betrays someone, her life will be worse than death!
Zhao Toyota saw that his pale complexion turned red again, thinking that this Australian was not suffering from phlegm, right? It would be really serious if something happened! I couldn't help but feel frightened, and advised: "Chief, Chief, please feel at ease first, this matter has not been investigated clearly..."
Seeing Zhao Toyota's worried face, Xie Erren realized that he had lost his composure. No matter whether it was Cai Lan who took away the documents or not, if he got angry at this moment, he would only make people laugh. Just now, his expression was already very gloomy. He quickly covered it up and said: "It doesn't matter to me. The most important thing right now is the food problem. You should check it secretly first and control the situation and the relevant people - don't rush to arrest people, just be on guard against escaping. Wait until the food is unloaded tomorrow. It’s over, let’s worry about it again.”
"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away." Zhao Toyota already understood what Xie Erren meant: don't make a fuss for the time being, and control the situation first.
Just as he was about to leave, Xie Erren stopped him again:
"Who is the person requested by the external transfer letter?"
"It's Mr. Accountant. It is said that he is from Teng County..."
"Catch him first."
"We have arrested him."
"Okay, go and do your work."
Zhao Toyota immediately notified the security secretary and Zheng Ergen. Together, the three of them decided to seal off the courtyard where Cai Lan lived, and no one was allowed in or out. Xie Erren's office in the courtyard has been locked and does not need to be touched for the time being. The documents kept in the main room were collected by confidential personnel. No relevant personnel will answer any questions, and the information will be temporarily blocked.
"Where's Mr. Hao?" Zheng Ergen asked, "We have arrested him, do we want to move him to a special place for detention?"
"No need." Zhao Toyota shook his head. "Now that the place has been changed, I'm afraid he will notice it. If he commits suicide, the clues will be broken. Send two capable people to pretend to be prisoners and put them in the cell. They will monitor you secretly."
"Then, what should I do about Cai Lan? If she finds out the clues, wouldn't it be troublesome to commit suicide?" Zheng Ergen was worried.
Zhao Toyota pondered and said: "The chief means not to arrest people. We will investigate slowly when we have time. Looking at the chief's meaning, I don't seem to be sure that Cai Lan is related to this matter - we have no evidence at the moment..."
"Wouldn't it be clear if you take him to the first trial?"
Zhao Toyota patted Zheng Erhe on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, this matter is actually not complicated, but you have to consider the chief's feelings. Don't worry. If Cai Lan deserves what she deserves, the chief can't protect her. But if she is innocent, How can we tell the chief if we strike too hard? Since the chief has said not to arrest people for the time being, we still have to be more cautious..."
"What if he committed suicide?"
"That's committing suicide out of fear of crime." Zhao Toyota said, "It's more trouble-free."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zheng Ergen was a little confused, but Zhao Toyota was much higher in rank than him and was a close confidant of the chief, so it was right to follow his arrangements.
Because Xie Erren couldn't talk it out that night, Cai Lan left Jiang Qiuchan as a companion, preparing to do some needlework under the lamp in the evening and chat a few words.
As soon as it got dark, there was the sound of people moving around in the yard. Cai Lan felt strange in her heart: If Xie Erren hadn't come over, this courtyard would be completely silent on weekdays. Why did someone suddenly come?
He leaned against the window and peeked out quietly. But they saw Zhao Fangdang and a familiar-looking thief conversing in a low voice in front of the study door of Mr. Jie Yuan. The lamp in the study was on, and there were people moving vaguely inside.
Is this what happened? Cai Lan's heart tightened. She also knew a little bit about the rules of this thief. This study room was like the White Tiger Festival Hall of the Australians, a stronghold for military aircraft. Except for Jie Kun himself, no one else can enter at will. Now that Xie Kun is not here, what is Zhao Fengdao doing with his people at the door of the study?
She immediately remembered the letter she had burned - could it be that she came here for this matter? Thinking of this, her heart sank: Something happened to Master Yi? !
Although she didn't know what Master Yi was busy with these days, she followed Master Yi's instructions to write the few words she heard from Xie Erren on calligraphy and painting with rice soup, and then sent them to Chang Qingyun. She knew what the plan was without telling her.
For a moment, Cai Lan was stunned. From the moment she burned the letters, she knew that such a day would come. She had already made plans to commit suicide and follow her fiancé underground once the matter was revealed.
