The people were caught red-handed and the evidence was solid. The factory director Zhou, manager Zhang and the buyer Lao Li, who had committed embezzlement, were detained immediately.
And because the amount of money involved was huge, the police on duty were very cautious and immediately reported the matter to their superiors.
It was the middle of the night. Director Shen, Political Commissar Ji and several other leaders of the Public Security Bureau had all gone to bed, but they were all woken up again. They left their warm beds and returned to the Public Security Bureau to handle cases, cursing.
It didn't take Jiang Yue and Gu Ye long to finish taking their statements, mainly because when Director Zhou and Manager Zhang entered the police station, they didn't need the police to intimidate them. After seeing the red slogan on the wall "Severe punishment for resistance, leniency for confession", they immediately confessed everything with tears and snot.
They even explained how they had stolen ready-made garments from the factory and sold them by falsifying the loss rate.
Old Li was not much better off. With two snots frozen into icicles, he shouted that he was innocent as soon as he entered the police station. As a result, he shivered in the interrogation room for a while. He was too cold to bear it and heard everything Director Zhou and Manager Zhang said in the interrogation room next door. He had no choice but to confess how he contacted Director Zhou and Manager Zhang, how he traded with them, how many times he traded, and how much the transaction amount was.
The police worked until the early morning and basically figured out what was going on. It was Director Zhou and Manager Zhang, two corrupt officials in the garment factory, who were stealing from their employers by falsely reporting the loss rate and secretly embezzling cloth or garments, and then secretly reselling them to enrich their own piggy banks.
This is pure corruption.
Because the case also involved other issues at the garment factory, the Public Security Bureau set up an investigation team overnight and planned to notify the tax and industrial and commercial departments at dawn to enter the garment factory together.
Director Zhou and Manager Zhang never expected that they had been relying on this method to earn some extra money for so many years and had never been successful, but they were suddenly brought down by a woman.
The buyer, Mr. Li, was also found to be an unemployed vagrant from a neighboring county who specialized in this kind of speculative business, mainly buying goods that could not be sold openly.
All three have been detained and will be punished according to law.
Jiang Yue and Gu Ye went back after finishing their statements. It was almost midnight. Jiang Yue was originally sitting sideways on the back seat of the bicycle with her arms around Gu Ye's waist, but it was too cold at night and the wind was blowing from behind, so Gu Ye stepped on the brake and supported himself with one foot.
"Are we there yet?" Jiang Yue felt cold and sleepy, her face almost stiffened by the wind. She thought that Gu Ye had stopped because they had arrived at the family quarters, so she jumped off the bicycle in a daze and tried to walk forward.
"Jiang Yue! Not here yet!" Gu Ye grabbed Jiang Yue and brought her to his chest, "Sit in front of me, so the wind won't reach you!"
Jiang Yue looked up at Gu Ye. She was so sleepy that her reaction was slow. She didn't understand what Gu Ye wanted her to do. She just stared at Gu Ye with her big unfocused black eyes and stood there without moving.
Gu Ye picked up Jiang Yue and let her sit sideways on the front bar of the bicycle. Then he unbuttoned his military coat, held Jiang Yue in his arms, and let her put her hands into his clothes.
In this way, Jiang Yue was like a baby wrapped in an adult's arms. Not only could the wind not blow on her, but her hands and face, which had just been frozen, also quickly warmed up.
Lian Rongrong and Wang Weixu, who were following on bicycles, saw Gu Ye and Jiang Yue stop, thinking something happened, so they also stopped the car. As a result, they saw Gu Ye pampering Jiang Yue.
Lian Rongrong was full of envy and punched Wang Weixu, "Wang Weixu, it's so cold today!"
Wang Weixu sniffed, "It's cold! My snot is frozen!"
Lian Rongrong: “…”
Why is it different from Jiang Yue’s side?
"Wang Weixu, I'm so cold, my hands and feet are almost frozen!" Lian Rongrong continued to hint, thinking that since she had made it so obvious, Wang Weixu would probably considerately let her sit in the front, then unbutton his military coat and let her snuggle into his arms!
"Me too! This weather is so damn cold that even a military coat is unbearable! I should have worn two more sweaters inside before going out! Oh, it's over, my nose is running again. Rongrong, do you have a handkerchief with you?" Wang Weixu saw Gu Ye riding away on his bike and also started riding his bike.
Lian Rongrong: “…………”
It’s really frustrating to compare yourself with others!
Wang Weixu saw a handkerchief being passed to him from under his armpit, so he released one hand and took it.
Lian Rongrong's mouth twitched stiffly twice. She couldn't keep this handkerchief anymore!
Lian Rongrong followed Wang Weixu to the company. After Jiang Yue and Gu Ye got home, they quickly washed up and climbed into bed and fell asleep.
It was already the next morning when Jiang Yue woke up. People tend to be lazy in winter, and Jiang Yue didn't want to get up after waking up. He stayed in bed for a long time before getting dressed.
Jiang Yue looked at the time. It was almost eight o'clock. Gu Ye should have joined the group long ago.
There was a lot of leftovers yesterday, so before going to bed last night, Jiang Yue asked Gu Ye to get up in the morning to help her cook soup and rice. The rice soup in the steel pot was already bubbling and had become very thick. Jiang Yue went to the backyard to pick some small green vegetables, washed them and put them into the rice soup.
The green vegetables were cooked in a short while. Jiang Yue scooped a spoonful of lard into the soup and rice, fried an egg for herself, and took out a few small plates of pickles from the cupboard. The fragrant and delicious breakfast was ready.
Heat is needed in winter. After Jiang Yue finished her soup and rice, she felt warm. She did some housework, changed her clothes, and prepared to go to Mrs. Zhao's house to pick up Ningning.
Before Jiang Yue left the house, Mrs. Zhao came over with Ningning.
"Mom!" Ningning rushed over happily when she saw Jiang Yue at home.
"Jiang Yue, I saw Rongrong this morning and heard her tell me about how you caught the thief last night. Oh, if I had known, I would have gone with you!" Sister Zhao looked regretful, "Next time something like this happens, be sure to call me!"
"Sister-in-law, you were right not to go. It was so cold last night. We were in the wilderness and almost froze to death!" Jiang Yue waved her hands. She didn't want it to happen again. It was so cold and it was so comfortable to sleep at home. Who would want to go to that kind of place for no reason?
Now her scalp still tingles whenever she thinks of the crow's cry, not to mention those grave mounds. Seeing them in the middle of the night is really creepy.
Sister Zhao came to bring vegetables and meat to Jiang Yue. Before leaving last night, Gu Ye said that he might come back very late at night. He was afraid that Jiang Yue would not be able to get up in the morning, so he asked Sister Zhao to help bring back some meat and vegetables when she went shopping.
The only vegetables you can see in winter are cabbage, radish and cabbage, and there are very few varieties.
"Jiang Yue, didn't you say you wanted to make kimchi a few days ago? Do you have time to make it today?" Sister Zhao came to Jiang Yue specifically to make kimchi today.
"Not in the morning, I have to go to the garment factory, let's do it in the afternoon! Sister-in-law, I'll come to see you in the afternoon!"
The news that Director Zhou and Manager Zhang were arrested by the Public Security Bureau must have spread, so Jiang Yue planned to go to the garment factory.
