After returning home, Shen Qiqi told the engineering team about her discovery.
Captain Wang was a little unconvinced at first, but after seeing the clues provided by Shen Qiqi, he had to take it seriously.
After all, the loss of so much material is no small matter.
“Qiqi, you did a great job. It seems we have wronged you.” Captain Wang patted Shen Qiqi’s shoulder, his tone full of appreciation.
However, the story does not end there.
The next morning, Widow Zhang spread rumors in the village again, saying that Shen Qiqi made up a lie about sabotage in order to cover up her own mistakes.
Some villagers began to waver again, and their eyes looking at Shen Qiqi were full of suspicion.
Shen Qiqi was so angry that she almost laughed. This old lady was really difficult to deal with and she couldn't be shaken off.
"If I don't show my power, do you really think I'm a sick cat?" Shen Qiqi gritted her teeth secretly, determined to find hard evidence to shut up the crowd.
She returned to the warehouse and carefully checked every corner.
Her hard work paid off, and in the corner of the warehouse, she found some scattered wood chips and rust.
"It seems that the person who destroyed the materials used tools to pry it open." Shen Qiqi thought to herself. She carefully checked along the corner of the wall and finally found a clear footprint in an inconspicuous corner. It was exactly the same as the footprint she found outside the warehouse before!
"Great! Let's see what you have to say now!" Shen Qiqi was secretly delighted. She carefully covered the footprints with leaves to prevent them from being destroyed.
After returning home, Shen Qiqi told Lu Qing about her discovery.
"Brother Qing, we have evidence now!" Her tone was full of excitement.
Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi, "Qiqi, you are awesome!"
"Next, we need to find the owner of these footprints." Shen Qiqi's footprints followed the muddy path, passed through the alleys in the village, and finally pointed to a remote shed.
Her heart beat faster and faster, and the flashlight in her hand flickered in the darkness, as if guiding her.
"Brother Qing, there really is something interesting here." Shen Qiqi said softly. She and Lu Qing followed the footprints closely and came to the front of the shed.
At the door of the shed, a worker was sitting at a table, holding a pipe in his hand, his eyes casually scanning the surroundings.
"That's him!" Shen Qiqi whispered, Lu Qing nodded, and the two of them walked in tacitly.
"You are Chen Dashan, right?" Shen Qiqi asked straight to the point, with an unquestionable firmness in her voice.
Chen Dashan was stunned for a moment, then stood up vigilantly and looked at the two of them.
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?" Chen Dashan had a sneer on his face, obviously not taking these outsiders seriously.
"Your footprints are exactly the same as the ones in the warehouse." Shen Qiqi took out the leaf covering the footprints from her bosom and placed it on the table. Her tone was stern, "You'd better tell me the truth. Who ordered you to destroy the construction materials?"
Chen Dashan's expression changed instantly, his brows furrowed and his eyes flickered.
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke: "It was Technician Zhao. He gave me twenty yuan and asked me to do some tricks in the warehouse, saying that Shen Qiqi must not succeed."
Shen Qiqi raised her eyebrows and smiled with satisfaction.
"Okay, now the truth is out." She turned to look at Lu Qing, who nodded with a firm look on his face.
The next morning, Shen Qiqi announced the news publicly in the village square.
The villagers gathered together to listen to her story and were talking about it for a while.
Widow Zhang's face turned pale, but she didn't dare say anything more. She could only lower her head and walk away in shame.
"I didn't expect you to do such a thing. I really didn't expect it." Captain Wang glared at Technician Zhao and said angrily.
Technician Zhao turned pale, lowered his head, and was speechless.
Shen Qiqi stood in the middle of the crowd, the anger in her heart finally vented, and she felt unprecedented relief.
"We will make up for the material loss as soon as possible, but Technician Zhao must reflect on his actions again and again." Captain Wang announced, and the villagers nodded in agreement.
However, at this moment, the village radio suddenly sounded, and the urgent voice broke the tranquility in the square.
"Attention, villagers! The weather station has just sent a message that heavy rain will hit in the near future. Please be prepared for it."
Shen Qiqi's heart sank suddenly, and she immediately realized that the coming rainstorm would bring new challenges to the water conservancy project.
She couldn't help but frown, her voice firm and powerful: "Everyone listen carefully, the rainstorm is coming, we must take measures as soon as possible to protect our engineering achievements!"
The villagers responded in unison, and the atmosphere was tense and orderly.
Shen Qiqi's eyes were firm, and she was secretly thinking about how to deal with it.
However, at this moment, she suddenly felt an ominous premonition, as if even greater challenges were waiting for her ahead.
"Qiqi, we have to act as soon as possible." Lu Qing's voice sounded in her ears with a hint of urgency.
Shen Qiqi nodded, her mind clear. She took a deep breath and said firmly, "Let's go. We must act immediately. We must not let the rainstorm ruin our efforts!"
