Chapter 296 Su Mei, You Are Really So Ignorant
Su Mei, Qin Zhengting and Qin Zhengfeng walked out of the laboratory together.
Outside the laboratory, Huo Jianguo was waiting at the door. Since he was not a school staff, he did not follow into the laboratory.
After learning that Su Mei's belongings had been stolen and that she needed to report the theft to the police, Huo Jianguo said:
"Doctor Qin, Professor Qin, I will accompany Su Mei to call the police, you guys go back first!"
"Oh, okay, then you go. If you need any help, feel free to contact us." Qin Zhengting nodded at Huo Jianguo.
Afterwards, Qin Zhengting and Qin Zhengfeng left school together.
When only Su Mei and Huo Jianguo were left outside the laboratory, Su Mei said, "It's almost dark now, let's call the police tomorrow!
We don’t even know when the item was lost, and the other party was clearly prepared, so it’s probably not that easy to get it back.”
"Let me take you to see someone!" Huo Jianguo said.
After he finished speaking, he took Su Mei's hand.
Su Mei didn't know where Huo Jianguo was taking her, and he didn't tell her when she asked.
Riding a bicycle, Huo Jianguo and Su Mei rode for half an hour before they arrived at an alley that Su Mei had never been to.
The alley was paved with bluestone slabs, the ground covered with green moss, reflecting the coolness of the night under the bright moonlight.
In silence, Huo Jianguo knocked on a black courtyard door.
There was soon a noise in the yard, and then Su Mei heard a series of light footsteps.
The door was opened after a long while. It was opened by a middle-aged man who looked a little sad. He looked a little strange when he opened the door. When the door was opened and he saw Huo Jianguo's face clearly, he was shocked at first, and then he laughed:
"Jianguo, why are you here?"
"Brother Qiang, I'm sorry to bother you so late at night." Huo Jianguo greeted the middle-aged man first, and then introduced Su Mei to him.
"This is my love, Su Mei."
The middle-aged man heard this, glanced at Su Mei, then stepped aside and said to Su Mei and Huo Jianguo:
"Come in and sit down quickly."
Su Mei didn't know who the middle-aged man in front of her was, so she could only smile shyly at him.
After sitting down in the house, Su Mei listened to the conversation between the two. She realized that the man in front of her was Huo Jianguo's old squad leader, Zeng Shengqiang.
He has been demobilized for six years and now works in the Yanjing Criminal Investigation Brigade, doing criminal investigation work.
Huo Jianguo brought Su Mei to find Zeng Shengqiang, just to ask him to help Su Mei investigate the missing files.
Asking a criminal police officer to investigate a pile of lost documents? Su Mei felt that this was a waste of talent.
However, after hearing Huo Jianguo's purpose, Zeng Shengqiang said nothing and agreed to the task immediately.
Seeing Zeng Shengqiang agreed, Huo Jianguo said:
"In addition to the matter of the lost documents, I also need you to help me find out the background of the current Dean of the School of Medicine, Dong Tian, as well as his research and development trends in the past two years, the process of publishing his most synthetic organic compounds, and the printing process of the magazines he published. I need all the causes and consequences.
There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. If you lay the whole thing out, any cat litter will be discovered.”
"You can let me check the documents, but it's a bit difficult to investigate the dean of the medical school. You know, the medical school is a department protected by national security, and we can't investigate people from this organization privately.
If we want to investigate, we need to write a lot of reports layer by layer." Zeng Shengqiang agreed to investigate the documents very readily, but he showed an embarrassed expression when he heard Huo Jianguo said he wanted to investigate Dong Tian.
Huo Jianguo nodded upon hearing this:
"I know he's not someone you can just check on casually, so I didn't go to the police station to report it, but came directly to you! Can't I use our personal relationship to investigate?"
"Jianguo." Su Mei called out softly. She looked at Huo Jianguo in surprise, as if she had not expected that this person who had always been upright in his style would say such words about personal friendship.
Even Zeng Shengqiang was stunned for a moment, but he smiled again immediately:
"If it's a personal relationship, then fine!"
"Then I'll wait for your news." After the deal was settled, Huo Jianguo stood up contentedly and said to Su Mei, "Let's go back!"
"Thank you, Brother Zeng." Su Mei didn't know what to say, so she could only say thank you to Zeng Shengqiang first.
After they went out and Huo Jianguo was pushing his bicycle, Su Mei asked him:
"He said that this is not allowed to be investigated. If you let him investigate, it won't cause him any trouble, right?"
"Don't worry, he was the best scout when he was in the army. He can find out anything he wants to find out, and no one will find out." Huo Jianguo patted the back seat of the car and said, "Get in, go back."
"Let's go!" Su Mei didn't go up.
Huo Jianguo has been taking Chinese medicine to regulate his body during this period. Although there is no abnormality in his pulse, Su Mei still doesn't want him to be too tired.
He had already carried her in the car for too long today, and she couldn't sit on it again and let him pedal hard to pull her back.
After the two of them left the alley, Su Mei called a tricycle. She sat on the tricycle and Huo Jianguo followed beside her, and then they went home together.
The next day, as soon as Su Mei arrived at school, Zeng Shengqiang found her and went with her to check the cabinet where Su Mei kept her documents.
There was no sign of the lock on the cabinet being pried open, indicating that the door was opened with a key. After checking, Zeng Shengqiang told Su Mei:
"The door was opened by someone from the school. If someone wanted to steal your experimental results, then they must have someone inside the school who was spying on them."
"Can I tell you who I suspect?" When it came to the other person, Su Mei naturally thought of Director Jia, who had once embarrassed her.
Zeng Shengqiang nodded: "Of course!"
"I suspect..." Su Mei was interrupted by someone who suddenly walked in from outside before she could finish her words.
Speak of the devil and he will appear.
Director Jia walked in from outside with his middle-aged belly. After taking a look at Su Mei, he looked at Zeng Shengqiang with a big smile on his face and asked:
"What's going on in our school? It's alarming to see Uncle Hat, but how come I, the Dean of Studies, don't know anything about it?"
"We received a report from a student in your school saying that the file she locked in the laboratory was lost! Because the file contains very important data, we came to check it out." Zeng Shengqiang answered Director Jia's words straightforwardly.
Director Jia immediately glared at Su Mei:
"Nonsense! It's just a pile of rotten drafts. Just throw them away. Why call the police so carelessly and let others see the police coming in and out of the campus? How will that benefit the reputation of the school?
Su Mei, you are really too ignorant. "

[I felt unwell yesterday and rested. I felt unwell today too and wanted to rest, but I saw many fans in the backstage saying that they didn’t wait for me yesterday and that they got up in the middle of the night to go to the restroom and took a look.
So in order to do my best to satisfy everyone, I will update a chapter and explain it to everyone.
I hope I'll be better tomorrow, and then I can give you all five chapters at once.
