The members of the investigation team came out of the canteen of the site after having a good meal and a drink. They looked up and found that it was already dark outside.
"Oh my, this meal took so long."
The head of the investigation team, Dong Chao, burped and pointed at the bright moon in the sky with a look of surprise.
"The investigation team led by Team Leader Dong is rigorous, conscientious and responsible in their work. This work attitude is worthy of learning for the leaders and cadres of our Qingyanshan Farm."
As soon as Director Guo opened his mouth, he immediately described the investigation team members' behavior of drinking and slacking off as being serious and responsible.
Team leader Dong's eyelids twitched, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Director Guo, thank you for your hospitality. We have learned a lot about the case of Comrade Qiao Baozhu, an outstanding employee of your company, who was falsely accused. The testimony provided by your company today is very useful to us. I believe Comrade Qiao Baozhu will soon be vindicated."
Director Guo nodded with satisfaction and sent the three members of the investigation team away in a dignified manner.
On the way back to the guesthouse, team member Zheng Kai couldn't help but ask Dong Chao in a low voice.
"Team leader, do you really think Qiao Baozhu was wrongly accused? Since the director of the field personally vouched for her, her background must be extraordinary."
Dong Chao curled the corner of his mouth disapprovingly.
"Isn't that nonsense? With her family background, how could she marry the battalion commander without some skills? If it weren't for her husband who had so much skills, how could a young woman become a hero who caught spies?"
"I don't believe that Director Guo can really treat everyone equally. A humble employee can be guaranteed by him personally."
Zheng Kai opened his mouth. It turned out that the team leader also saw that Director Guo was trying to protect him. If he had guessed it, why did he agree to have this meal? If the leader knew about it, would he be punished?
Guo Chao noticed Zheng Kai's thoughts and curled his lips in disdain.
After all, he is a young man who has just started out and can only do things according to the script and does not know how to adapt.
Guo Chao touched the things in his trouser pocket and felt happy. He was willing to teach this nerd who didn't know the rules a lesson.
"We ate in the farm cafeteria and did not violate discipline. We finished our meal and then turned the place into an office to conduct an investigation."
Guo Chao said confidently: "The information shows that Qiao Baozhu once worked in the canteen for a period of time. The farm workers we randomly interviewed included her former colleagues and strangers who had nothing to do with her and had never spoken to her."
"We worked the whole afternoon and visited seven or eight people. With such a large workload, our superiors only praised us for our efficiency."
Zheng Kai was dumbfounded. He had never thought that there was such a way of working. They called slacking off "dedicated to their work" and they called meaningless chatting "visiting".
"Comrade Xiao Zheng, the team leader is willing to teach you, you must study hard."
Zou Yun looked at Zheng Kai, who was confused and somewhat unconvinced, and gave him a gentle reminder.
"Visiting and investigating is not just about holding a notebook and asking questions. After working for a long time, you will know that our straightforward questioning attitude will make the people disgusted and afraid. The team leader uses this relaxed and covert method to let the other party let down their guard. It seems like toasting, but in fact it is to ask questions."
Zheng Kai suddenly realized and shouted excitedly, "So that's how it is. The team leader is really smart. He predicted the other party's thoughts in advance and then used the same trick to trick them into talking."
"Awesome, team leader, you are really awesome."
Zheng Kai's eyes were sparkling with stars, and his gaze as he looked at Dong Chao was full of admiration.
Zou Yun, along with Zheng Kai, said a lot of good things about Dong Chao.
Dong Chao was flattered by his two subordinates, and his face was flushed. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "You two work hard, and I will take you to meet my teacher when there is a chance in the future. My little tricks are just a small scene in front of my teacher. He is the legendary God of Preliminary Trial. No matter how powerful the criminal suspect is, he can't hide in front of him."
Zheng Kai was so excited that he jumped for joy. He saw that Team Leader Dong Chao's steps were unsteady and his face reeked of alcohol.
He offered to buy popsicles for everyone to sober up.
"You may not be able to find popsicles in remote places. Well, it's hard to refuse Xiao Zheng if he wants to. Go over and take a look."
Dong Chao agreed with a smile, and Zheng Kai took a few quick steps into the service center.
Usually there are few customers coming into the service center after three o'clock, and the waiters are bored, so they sit behind the counter and chat loudly.
Zheng Kai came out of the service center with three popsicles, his face looking very solemn.
Dong Chao drank a lot of wine, his body was hot and his eyes were wandering. He just wanted to go back to the guesthouse and have a good sleep.
Zou Yun was a careful person. When he noticed that Zheng Kai's expression was not right, he immediately expressed his concern.
Zheng Kai did not hide anything and told Zou Yun the gossip told by several waiters in the service center.
After hearing this, Zou Yun looked surprised.
"Qiao Baozhu took Bai Hongmei's two children home? Not only did she buy candy and biscuits for the children, but she also ordered a barrel of malted milk?"
"I heard that she even paid for them to have their heads shaved and bathed. Sister Zou, do you think she was doing this just to put on a show for us?"
Anyone who can be an investigator has a smart brain. They immediately guessed that Qiao Baozhu was acting out a sad story.
"Don't tell the team leader yet. I'll go to the bathhouse later to see if I can get any useful clues."
Zou Yun had a serious expression and said in a businesslike tone, "If Qiao Baozhu staged this to confuse us, I will definitely tell the truth in my report."
Zheng Kai's eyes lit up and he was shocked.
He was so lucky that he met a smart and experienced leader and impartial colleagues as soon as he started working.
He will definitely handle Qiao Baozhu's case brilliantly, and make those people no longer dare to look down on him, thinking that he is an incompetent nerd who was stuffed in by the old man.
Zheng Kai went to take care of the team leader Dong Chao who was "drunk at work" with great enthusiasm. Meanwhile, Zou Yun went to the bathhouse which was more than 300 meters away from the guesthouse.
After coming out of the bathhouse, Zou Yun went into the barber shop next to the bathhouse.
The next day, Dong Chao woke up and didn't see his team member Zou Yun. Hearing Zheng Kai say that Zou Yun went out to handle the case alone, Dong Chao felt unhappy.
However, he did not dare to show his dissatisfaction too obviously. The new team member Zheng Kai looked at him with sparkling eyes like a devout believer.
He had to act more magnanimous and not let others see his flaws.
"Comrade Zou Yun is diligent. I should learn from her."
Dong Chao praised Zou Yun in a high-sounding manner, and the next second he heard someone knocking on the door.
Zou Yun stood outside the door: "Team Leader, I have something important to report to you."
Dong Chao opened the door dressed neatly and saw Zou Yun standing at the door with a blank expression: "What's the matter?"
"Team leader, Xiao Zheng and I overheard something last night. Considering that the team leader was exhausted from the heavy workload yesterday afternoon, I couldn't bear to let him work any harder. So I did some research and got some clues."
After Zou Yun finished speaking, he handed an investigation report to Dong Chao.
Dong Chao took the report speechlessly and quickly scanned the text on it.
After reading it, Dong Chao turned around and looked at Zheng Kai who was still sitting on the bed in a daze.
"Xiao Zheng, pack up and let's go meet Qiao Baozhu."
