Chapter 35 Chapter 35 (Updated) This is really a gang fight...
After finding out what the matter was, Director Wang decided to go there herself. Before she left, she reminded him, "Just look at the information carefully here, and go home when the time comes."
After giving the instructions, he walked to Xiong Ping and whispered a few words in her ear.
Xiong Ping was so happy after hearing this that she shook her shoulders: "It's just a coincidence, are you really afraid of it?"
The two have been friends for more than ten years. Who doesn't know who? She immediately guessed what Lao Wang was worried about. She smiled and nodded, "Just go and rest assured. I'll keep an eye on it."
In fact, it is not uncommon for a street event to take place.
But it is indeed rare to have so many things like this happening all at the same time. If they were really that busy every day, they would definitely apply to their superiors to hire more employees, otherwise they would be overwhelmed.
As soon as Director Wang left, a few more people came in. Fortunately, none of them shouted "Oh no, oh no" as soon as they entered the door. They all came to consult some questions, and left after asking politely.
After waiting for about half an hour, Xiong Ping smiled and said, "I will definitely make fun of Director Wang when she comes back. She just likes to think nonsense..."
"Oh no, oh no! The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Lu family are fighting, and they are so angry that they want to bang their heads against the wall!"
Before Xiong Ping finished her words, a middle-aged woman rushed in and shouted, pulling Duan Yumei, who was nearest, and tried to walk out, "Quick, quick, hurry up, go and persuade them, they don't listen to anyone but you guys!"
Xiong Ping patted her chest. She felt uncomfortable with the words stuck in her throat. She swallowed twice before catching her breath. "Xiao Duan, just go with her. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Lu family like to quarrel but they are not difficult to deal with. Just explain your identities to them and give them some words of advice."
Some people love to fight and make trouble, but after a while you can figure out their temper.
For example, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the Lu family quarrel very frequently. Once they start quarreling, they either beat each other or threaten to hang themselves, jump off the building, or hit the wall. But there is one good thing: they listen to advice, especially when the street office comes to their home, and they will calm down with just a few words of advice.
As soon as Duan Yumei left, Xiong Ping couldn't help but glance at the person by the window. She comforted herself with a trembling heart, "It's just a small matter, not a big deal, right?"
“……” Jiang Shuangshuang could only smile awkwardly.
She had noticed that Director Wang was worried about something. How could she not see the look in his eyes that showed he wanted to say something but couldn't?
Before she started working, she had thought that there would be no shortage of fun here. If there was a quarrel at someone's house, even if she couldn't be the first to go to the show, she would definitely be able to get the best seat.
But there is some deviation between imagination and reality. She did not expect that there would be so much fun, one after another, and the amount in one day is almost catching up with the usual week.
In the following time, several more people came into the office. Every time someone came in, the employees sitting there would become nervous, fearing that the person would suddenly start yelling.
The result is what is supposed to come.
In just ten minutes, two people came running over, one in front and one behind.
The kid in front of me shouted in panic, "A child fell into the lake in the park and was sent to the hospital!"
The middle-aged man behind him still had a wound on his face. "There's a fight at the slaughterhouse. Send someone to check it out immediately. Don't let anything serious happen!"
As soon as the two of them came, Xiong Ping could no longer sit still and quickly made arrangements: "Xiao Xia, you go to the health center, Xiao...Xiao Jiang, you should go to the slaughterhouse with me."
She was afraid that if Xiao Jiang didn't leave, more people would come one after another.
"It's not enough. More than ten people are fighting. How can two people stop the fight?" The middle-aged man became anxious when he heard it. Two people are not enough!
It's really not enough.
The theft of pork from the slaughterhouse was discovered the day before yesterday. It did not cause much commotion at first. For a slaughterhouse, 200 kilograms of pork is a lot but not too little. However, after checking, it was found that it was not just 200 kilograms that was missing, but more than a thousand kilograms of pork had disappeared over the past six months, not to mention other livestock and poultry.
Now the leaders above can no longer sit still.
The loss this time was thousands of yuan, three or four years' salary for an ordinary worker. Moreover, if this case is not caught and made an example, who knows how much more money will be lost in the future?
So all the pressure fell on the Security Department.
The leaders said that no matter what method they used, they must catch the thief within a week and recover part of the stolen pork. Of course, pork cannot be stored forever, and there is no requirement to recover a lot, but if they can recover part of the losses, the security personnel will be greatly rewarded.
Those who are awarded will be awarded, those who are evaluated for excellence will be evaluated, and those who are temporary workers will be directly converted to regular employees!
But if the case cannot be solved, then they will naturally be punished. The security department received their salary every month, but they never discovered that the pork was stolen. If they are really held accountable, no one can escape.
As a result, the dozen or so people from the Security Department were very motivated. After searching the slaughterhouse and finding no evidence, they targeted the workers in the slaughterhouse.
The previous pork was difficult to check, but the more than 200 kilograms that were lost recently were easier to check. They discussed for a night and decided to search the workers' homes. They thought that the thief would not be able to act in a short time and might hide in their own home, which was a good opportunity to catch the thief and the stolen goods.
It was a good idea, but they overlooked one point.
No matter who it is, no one wants outsiders to come to their home to check.
Wouldn't all the family assets be found out during this search? What if someone does hide something in the house? That would be even more unpleasant.
The Security Department conducted a compulsory search, and the workers resisted collectively.
As the noise got more and more intense, a group fight broke out.
When Jiang Shuangshuang arrived, the large courtyard was packed with people. Unlike the previous crowds who just watched the excitement, they were all roaring and shouting as if they were cheering, making the atmosphere even more heated.
Yes, in the past, people who watched the excitement were all indifferent, but now it is different. Those gathered outside are also slaughterhouse workers and their families. If the security department really gets the upper hand, the next person to be searched at home may be me. Who can remain calm?
"What are you doing? Shut up and don't shout!"
At the strong request of the middle-aged man, Xiong Ping finally brought half of the people in the office. The first feeling she had after they arrived was that there were not enough people.
This is really a group fight!
Moreover, it is a group of fat and strong pig killers fighting against the tall and strong security department. Both of them are not easy to deal with. There is also a group of noisy people surrounding them outside. How can this fight be easily stopped?
"No, we have to notify the Public Security Bureau immediately and ask them to send someone to break up the fight." Beads of sweat broke out on Xiong Ping's forehead. She should have taken this matter more seriously and sent someone to the Public Security Bureau to call for help before coming here. It's easy to get carried away in situations like this and there's a good chance that something big will happen.
Without hesitation, she pulled someone beside her and said, "Just run, and tell the police what happened. Come here as soon as possible!"
The person who gave the order was an experienced employee of the street office who had worked there for several years. Liu Fang also knew the seriousness of the matter, so she nodded and ran towards the Public Security Bureau.
But even if she ran faster, by the time she got there, ten minutes had already passed. She didn't even have time to catch her breath, and she breathlessly explained everything about the slaughterhouse, urging them, "You have to hurry up, if you make a big fuss there could easily be casualties!"
Public security officer Xiao Fu was shocked. They had just talked about the slaughterhouse at noon, but they didn't expect it to become such a big commotion just a few hours later. Without any hesitation, he arranged for people to go to the slaughterhouse's family compound with more than a dozen public security officers.
It took nearly fifteen or sixteen minutes to go back and forth.
It may seem fast, but if you really start to smash things up, a lot can happen in fifteen or sixteen minutes!
At the fork in the road, someone asked, "Should we send someone to notify the health center so they can prepare first?"
The health center is still ahead, and it will probably take about ten minutes to walk there. We should have people prepared for rescue in advance to avoid any loss of life.
When Public Security Officer Xiao Fu was about to nod, he noticed something was wrong in front of him.
They had now reached a fork in the road. Turning a corner was the slaughterhouse's compound. If there was really a noisy scene, they would have been able to hear some noise when they got here.
But now there is no sound at all. It is extremely quiet except for the occasional birdsong.
"Wait a minute, let's take a look at the situation." Policeman Xiao Fu said, and strode forward. When he turned a corner, he saw a lot of people turning around in front of him.
However, the scene was different from what they had imagined. Although there were a lot of people gathered outside, the atmosphere was not passionate and it didn't look like a fight was about to break out.
Instead, they all had inexplicable expressions, which seemed a little strange.
Anyway, it doesn't look like they are going to fight.
Policeman Xiao Fu took a few steps forward and patted the person in front of him on the back, "Please make way."
The man in front was not happy at first. He could only see a little bit, and if he was allowed to see more, he could only see the heads of people in front. He turned his head and was about to curse impatiently, when he saw a dozen men in public security uniforms standing behind him. He quickly stepped aside and said, "Comrades, public security, why are you here? It's nothing, there's nothing wrong here."
The call of "Public Security" made everyone around turn their heads.
They were all workers or family members of the slaughterhouse, and they knew that a big fuss would be bad for them. When they saw the police coming and making such a big scene, they quickly explained, "Yes, yes, no one is causing trouble."
"It's just that the security department's forced search was too blunt, and there was really no fighting or killing."
The team in front moved aside a little, and Xiao Fu Public Security and others finally saw the situation in the yard.
The scene was so different from what they had imagined.
On the left stood the uniformed security officers, and on the right stood a group of strong men. Although the expressions of both sides did not look too good, they were far away from each other and did not look like they were going to fight.
"What's going on? Wasn't there any noise?" Hu Donggui muttered softly.
Policeman Xiao Fu followed up and said, "It's a good thing that there was no commotion."
As a result, the people nearby heard this and began to answer for them.
"It's not that there isn't a commotion, it's that it's gone too far!" A man pointed ahead, "Did you see that female comrade in the light blue coat? She's amazing. When the pig-killing season was about to use a knife, she picked up the table in the yard and smashed it directly on their heads! Look at those people with bumps on their heads, they were caused by the bump..."
Just imagine, if a huge table falls from the sky and hits everyone on the head while they are making a fuss, anyone would be stunned.
"This is more than that. The little yellow in the protection department was so angry that she wanted to beat her up. She stepped forward and removed Xiaohuang's arm. The pain made him cry and called him mother and then he picked up his arm. Look at the big tall man who was shrunk in the corner and didn't dare to put farts in the corner, which was Xiaohuang."
"And there was the butcher's son-in-law. He used to be able to carry a pig without any effort. He was so strong that no one dared to mess with him. He raised his fist and rushed over, but the female comrade suddenly turned in the air and kicked the butcher's son-in-law so far away that he couldn't get up for a long time!"
"And more..."
"That what, that what, bang bang bang bang bang..."
The people around spoke very excitedly, recounting what had happened ten minutes ago. To put it simply, the man in the light blue coat "killed everyone" by himself, leaving them without any chance to fight back.
And those punches and kicks must have hurt, otherwise they wouldn't be so "well-behaved" as they are now. They only dared to say a few words but didn't dare to take any action.
It is normal for people to fight each other when they are angry, but it is also a mutual fight, in which neither side gets the upper hand.
But if it happens to this person, it means they will be beaten unilaterally. They are not fools. Who would like to be beaten unilaterally and cry for their parents?
"I heard that he was an official from the Street Office. Could it be that the Street Office has given up its soft-touch policy and is using fists to subdue troublemakers?"
"Hiss!" Someone gasped, thinking about the people who had just been beaten badly. If this happened to him, wouldn't he be in pain for several days?
Forget it, forget it, just be quiet from now on.
"..." The corner of Public Security Officer Xiao Fu's mouth twitched.
After thinking about it, I decided not to explain it. I'll just consider it as a blessing in disguise. As long as I don't make too much noise, it will be fine.
However, he couldn't help but admire Comrade Xiao Jiang for controlling the situation in such a short time. He had to say that Director Wei had done a good job in placing her in this position so that she could control the situation in time and avoid causing any major problems.
No one was fighting, but there was still noise.
If you can't fight, then just compare who has the louder voice, as if whoever has the louder voice is right.
Jiang Shuangshuang made a "tsk" sound, looking a little impatient. There was one downside to watching the fun from the best viewing angle. The sound was too sharp and piercing, too loud and deafening, and it became quite annoying if one listened too much.
A 'tsk' sound caused both parties to fall into a brief silence.
Comrade Xiao Huang hid behind his colleagues and didn't even dare to glance at her.
His right arm had just been removed! It was hanging there without any feeling. It was painful but more of a panic. How was he going to live without the use of his right hand?
My body ached and my heart was filled with panic; it was an extremely hopeless feeling.
Fortunately, the other party was just trying to scare him, and within a few minutes, he pressed his right arm up against him again. However, even though the feeling of despair had dissipated, it still made him tremble, and he had no intention of rushing up again.
Not only Xiao Huang, most other people think so too.
Even if it wasn't like Xiao Huang who had his arm removed and then reattached, everyone was hit by at least one or two punches. I don't know what kind of strength the other party used, but I still feel a dull pain. I really don't want to be hit by two more punches.
After about two minutes of silence, the head of the security department had to speak up, with a hint of pleading in his tone, "Comrade Xiao Jiang, we are just doing our job and not deliberately causing trouble. We are under orders from the factory and we can't just walk away after receiving our wages, right?"
The people in the security department feel very aggrieved.
They knew that this would cause public outrage, but what could they do? Their leader gave them a deadline. If they couldn't find the pig thief, their entire security department would be punished.
Criticism would be fine, but this incident has a huge impact. Thousands of pounds of pork were lost. If they don't find out the cause, it will definitely not only be criticism, but in serious cases it may even affect their jobs and wages.
So who can not be anxious?
"You can't search our house!" The butcher opposite was not happy when the head of the security department said, "We didn't steal the pigs, why do you treat us like thieves and search our house?"
"that is!"
"You turned my house upside down. Who will compensate for the damage?"
"Anyway, I don't agree with you entering my house!"
One by one they started shouting again.
Most people disagreed with their search of the house.
If you think about it, it's understandable. No one wants strangers to rummage through their home. Not to mention whether something might be damaged, everyone has some secrets or things left by their ancestors. If they were to be dug up, it would be a disaster.
"Shut up!" Jiang Shuangshuang yelled. She said coldly, "Find an empty room. Two representatives from each side go in to talk. Everyone else stay outside."
The two parties discussed it and felt that this method was feasible.
The people who went in from the Security Department were team leader Zhou Guangfa and deputy team leader Huang Guoyao. The people who went in from the butcher were Hu Dahai and Xia Tiezhu. Also going in were two people from the street office and two police officers.
This instantly made things much quieter.
Jiang Shuangshuang's frown also relaxed. She found a seat and sat down without waiting for them to speak. She asked a question directly, "Comrade Hu, you are the representative of the workers in the entire slaughterhouse. I want to ask you a question."
Hu Dahai was confused and said, "Ask."
"Did you refuse the security department's search because you were sure that none of the workers were part of a gang of pig thieves?"
"..." Hu Dahai opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer this question.
How could he be sure? Although he had no experience in investigation, he knew that if the pig thief could steal so much pork smoothly, it must be one or more people in the slaughterhouse. Without someone inside to cover up, it would be impossible for it to be stolen so many times.
"That's right!" Huang Guoyao slapped the table with his hand, as if someone was supporting him. He raised his chin and said proudly, "If you don't cooperate with the investigation, how can we catch the pig thief?"
"This..." Hu Dahai and Xia Tiezhu looked at each other, not knowing how to explain.
Zhou Guangfa also looked serious. "The Security Department is not acting for its own selfish desires, but also for the interests of the slaughterhouse. We still need your cooperation."
This sounds a bit official.
Jiang Shuangshuang looked at him again, "Comrade Zhou, I also want to ask you a question."
"Ah?" Zhou Guangfa became nervous. Thinking about how Comrade Jiang's words had just left Hu Dahai speechless, he had a bad feeling. "You, you ask."
"Is this search going to all the workers in the slaughterhouse?"
Zhou Guangfa felt relieved, thinking that this question was not difficult to answer.
Without thinking, I nodded, "Of course!"
Jiang Shuangshuang snorted softly, "Including the members of the security department and every leader?"
"..." Zhou Guangfa opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Actually, to be honest, he didn't want anyone else to search his house.
But he is not afraid if he must be searched, because he has no capable ancestors. Not even a pair of chopsticks were passed down to him, let alone other valuable treasures.
But his not being afraid doesn't mean that other staff members in the security department aren't afraid, nor does it mean that the leaders above him aren't afraid.
"That's right!" Hu Dahai also felt the pressure from others and said immediately, "You can search our homes if you want. Search the homes of the factory managers first, and then let us search the homes of your security department employees. If you agree, we won't stop you."
Huang Guoyao frowned, "Isn't this just nonsense?"
"Bah, why can we search ours but not yours?" Xia Tiezhu said with his neck stiff, "Can you guarantee that the pig thief is not one of them?"
Zhou Guangfa remained silent.
As soon as Comrade Jiang's problem came up, he realized that this matter could not go on. Some leaders would definitely agree, but with so many leaders in the slaughterhouse, it was impossible for all of them to be willing.
Who knows what kind of trouble will arise by then.
Yes, if you can't set a good example yourself, how can you possibly get this done smoothly?
He sighed helplessly: "I understand. I will report the public's reaction to the higher-ups and find other ways to catch the pig thief."
Police officer Xiao Fu nearby said, "If you need help, you can go directly to the police station to find us."
"No, no." Zhou Guangfa waved his hands repeatedly, "We plan to look for it ourselves first."
If the incident really gets reported to the police station, it won't just be a private matter of the slaughterhouse. If it goes wrong, it may also affect next year's exams, which concerns the honor of the entire slaughterhouse.
After just a few words, everyone looked dejected.
The case seemed to have reached a dead end, with no direction at all.
As they were leaving one by one, Zhou Guangfa suddenly turned around and asked with a glimmer of hope: "Comrade Jiang, if it were you, how do you think we should investigate this case?"
"Ask me?" Jiang Shuangshuang chuckled. "You overestimate me. I don't know much about investigating cases. If you want to ask for advice, you should find a professional."
She paused again and said, "But if I have to give an idea, I would choose to spend money."
"Smash, smash the money?" Zhou Guangfa looked confused.
How should I spend this money?
