Chapter 044 Chapter 44 Investigation

Zhang Yuandong still thought that the clothes he had chosen were pretty good. After all, these days, most of the fabrics on the market are blue, green, gray, and other wear-resistant colors. Pink clothes are hard to buy even if you have money. He rubbed the back of his head stupidly and took out two more boxes: "I asked my comrades to bring these two. See if you are used to them."

Lin Yue took the two boxes and opened them. One box contained two boxes of clam oil, and the other box contained a box of Friendship Cream.

Every woman loves beauty. She still uses her own skin care products, which can only play a moisturizing role. The bottles of skin care products sent by Zhang Yuandong touched her heart.

But although she liked it, they were not real husband and wife after all. These were gifts and skin care products, and her hands felt a little hot for some reason. She put a few boxes on the kang and said with a smile: "It's not easy for you to come back, and you brought me so many things. It's too much trouble. In fact, you don't have to buy them for me. I don't need these things in the village."

"I didn't think too much about it. I just thought you were very kind to me and the children, so I wanted to buy something for you. I also bought some for the two children, look!"

Zhang Yuandong took out a bunch of things from his bag and introduced them to Lin Yue, pointing at them: "This doll is for Lingling, and this set of zodiac toys is for Wanli. I heard that every child has a frog like this now. They can both play with this one."

Lin Yue thought, this guy has been back for several days, could he not have realized that the person who sleeps with the stuffed rabbit every night is his son?

As expected, little Lingling was not interested in the exquisite rag doll. As soon as her father left, she grabbed the most common iron frog. As for Wanli, he was very fond of the set of twelve zodiac animals. The rag doll was lying there alone with no one paying attention to it. Lin Yue felt sorry for it and simply put it together with the rag doll rabbit.

The county public security bureau recruited three new staff members today: one man and two women, all of whom are recent graduates from the police academy and are about 23 or 24 years old.

The gay man has an average appearance, medium height, a little fat, and not very memorable, but he is a very extroverted person.

There were two lesbians, one had a round face and two big, shiny black braids hanging in front of her chest. She was not tall and was chubby, but looked very cute.

The other female comrade had neat short hair, a pair of beautiful big eyes, and a very tall and slender figure. The belt outside her police uniform was so tight that her waist was barely slender enough to be held in one hand, making her look both charming and capable.

Sister Liu, who was in charge of logistics, took them to various departments early in the morning to familiarize themselves with the environment. Seeing Zhang Yuandong coming in, Sister Liu took the initiative to greet him. Zhang Yuandong greeted him and didn't pay much attention to the three people, and went straight into his office.

Sister Liu vaguely knew some inside information and knew that his identity was not that simple. She did not look down on him just because he was just a small policeman now, and was always polite to him when they met.

The new man asked Sister Liu curiously, "Sister Liu, the guy just now looked very impressive and came to work on a sidecar. Is he a leader in the bureau?"

The two female comrades following behind also pricked up their ears quietly.

Sister Liu smiled and said, "His name is Zhang Yuandong. He just retired from the army and came here a few days earlier than you. He is also a police officer. His home and workplace are quite far away, so the police station specially approved a sidecar for him to commute to get off work."

There is only this one sidecar in the Public Security Bureau of the county, and Zhang Yuandong has been driving it since he came back.

Although Zhang Yuandong was a company commander in the army, his administrative level was actually 18, equivalent to deputy battalion commander. If he really retired, he would be at least a section-level cadre. Moreover, he had a special mission, so no one would say anything if he was given a sidecar.

Therefore, although his identity has not been made public, through this incident, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is not just a small policeman.

But there are also things that cannot be seen. The male comrade thought carefully and found that Zhang Yuandong wore an ordinary collar badge, had no military position, and his home was far away from the unit, either living in the city or in the countryside. Their small county town was too far away from the city, so he guessed it was the latter.

He curled his lips and instantly lost interest in this rural-born man with no background. Instead, he felt jealous. How could he, a small public security officer with no identity or background, ride a sidecar in the police station!

At that time, the public security was very good, the public security had a high status in the minds of the people, and the treatment was good. It was a job that many young people dreamed of. People who could work in the public security bureau, except for retired soldiers, generally did not come from ordinary families.

Sister Liu originally wanted to try to please others and give them a reminder, but I don’t know what she came up with, in the end she just smiled and said nothing.

The short-haired lesbian was very curious about Zhang Yuandong and looked back in the direction he was going several times.

Each office in the bureau usually has four people sitting on the four sides of a long table. The gay man and the short-haired lesbian were assigned to Zhang Yuandong's office, while the round-faced lesbian was assigned to another office.

After arranging the seats, the gay man kept chatting with the short-haired lesbian and was unwilling to pay any attention to Zhang Yuandong who was in the same office.

Zhang Yuandong didn't care. He was going out with another colleague to do youth promotion today. He ignored their whispers and just focused on organizing the materials.

There was a sound of dragging footsteps outside the door, and then a lazy young man about 1.8 meters tall and clean-looking walked in. He saw two new people in his office and yawned, "Oh, there are new people again."

Zhang Yuandong did not raise his head or stop working as he introduced them: "The male comrade is Zhou Quanan and the female comrade is Miao Mianmian. Sister Liu asked you to take care of them."

Zhou Quanan and Miao Mianmian quickly stood up and greeted the young man politely.

The young man's name was Liu Qingjun. He greeted the two of them lazily and ignored them. Instead, he went over to look at the materials Zhang Yuandong had compiled and said jokingly, "You still have to go out for publicity today. How about we switch roles? I'll go in your place."

Zhang Yuandong looked up at him, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly smiled: "No, today is Wednesday, and Aunt Li will be here soon. She specifically asked for you, and if you leave now, you will make her trip in vain!"

Liu Qingjun's face fell instantly: "Are we still brothers? Can you bear to watch your brother fall into dire straits and do nothing? Now if you just lend a little help, I can be free for a day. Can you bear not to help me?"

Yang Wen from the office next door stood at the door and said with a smile: "Why should you be so reluctant? Aunt Li wants to introduce her daughter to you. It's such a great opportunity. Why are you still hesitating? Hurry up and take it!"

After saying that, he waved to Zhang Yuandong and said, "Let's go!"

Liu Qingjun scolded, "You are so good, Yang Wen. I'll give you this good opportunity. Do you want it? You two don't leave. Take me with you!"

Yang Wen smiled and said, "That's not necessary. I can't ruin your good marriage!" After that, he and Zhang Yuandong walked out the door one after another.

The two new colleagues didn't say anything either, just listened quietly to the quarrel.

Miao Mianmian suddenly asked, "Brother Liu, can I go out with them and learn for a while?"

Liu Qingjun took a closer look at the female comrade. She was young and very pretty, with a pair of big eyes rolling around, and it was obvious that she was a thoughtful person.

He leaned back in his chair lazily and said with a smile, "You are a young girl who just graduated from college. What are you doing following these two old men? They are the most boring. The first thing they talk about is children. You must be bored to death listening to them talking about these things on your first day at work. Come on, Brother Liu will find something interesting for you two to do."

In the whole bureau, Yang Wen was the one who knew Zhang Yuandong's identity best. During this period, the two of them traveled all over the county in the name of propaganda, and secretly found some useful information.

In recent years, the authorities have been interested in developing the "Third Line" construction. Although it is still in the conceptual stage, many well-informed people have heard the news and know that it should be fully launched by next year at the latest.

Although this is just a small county town, there are military factories in the county itself and its geographical location is special. If nothing unexpected happens, it must be part of the plan.

In the past few years, Chang Kaishen's actions were not too outrageous, and the higher-ups did not pursue them after they had cleared them out once. But this time, it involved war-ready economic construction, and no mistakes were allowed, which led to the last action.

Last time, Zhang Yuandong led a team of ten people to cooperate with the Investigation Department. They thought it was just an ordinary arrest mission. Who knew that those people had grown so powerful that they had spies on everyone from civil servants to street thugs. Even a mole appeared in the Investigation Department. What they didn't expect was that the gang had hot weapons.

A bunch of hooligans holding lethal weapons in their hands, one can imagine how angry they would be. Caught off guard, the brothers from the investigation department and the ten people in his team were all killed here.

Zhang Yuandong brought out a piece of intelligence at the time, directly targeting several high-level cadres in the county. The enemy was seriously injured, and the upper management was afraid that the enemy spies would hide again, which would make it even more difficult to find their traces. That's why they let Zhang Yuandong, the only survivor and a man who had made great contributions, act as bait, hoping to make the enemy take action.

In fact, Zhang Yuandong's main task was to cooperate with the investigation department's actions, but he wanted to avenge his sacrificed comrades, so he and Yang Wen took the opportunity of work to conduct a private investigation.

When the two passed by the county hospital, Zhang Yuandong suddenly saw Zhang Xiaohui and a hoodlum young man entering a small alley near the hospital together.

Zhang Yuandong had seen Zhang Xiaohui once in the old house last time, and he had taken a liking to her. He had specifically asked around, Zhang Xiaohui was a temporary worker in the county town, so shouldn't she be working in the factory at this point? Why did she come here?

Apart from department stores, the place with the most concentrated flow of people in the county and the least noticeable is near the hospital. The young man with Zhang Xiaohui is obviously a gangster, so when these two people get together, he has to pay attention.

He greeted Yang Wen and asked him to meet him at the entrance of the alley, then he followed the two men into the alley.
