Chapter 40 Investigation 1
Ye Qian went to the cafeteria to eat early in the morning, as if nothing had happened yesterday.
After breakfast, I returned to the office and continued my work.
President Feng didn't come until noon, and the other three people in the office didn't go to inquire about the situation.
Ye Qian went to have lunch with everyone. On the way back to the office, she ran into Chairman Feng's family members crying at the gate of the grain factory.
The woman was very young, looked to be around 30 years old, and should be President Feng’s lover.
Next to her was a little girl about 11 or 12 years old. The little girl didn't cry, but looked a little scared. She hugged the woman's arm and hid behind her, looking at the people in front of her vigilantly.
The woman kept making a fuss at the door, demanding to see the factory manager. The security guard was helpless, but he couldn't just let anyone in. When he saw four people from our union passing by, he asked us to come over.
Wang Juan took the initiative to ask, "Who are you looking for?"
The woman replied, "We are Chairman Feng's family. Our old Feng was beaten yesterday and is still in the hospital, his life uncertain. The doctor said it was a little late and we don't know if he will wake up. Our old Feng must have been injured in the factory. I want to speak to your factory director and demand an explanation."
Wang Juan said to herself: "Ye Qian, go and invite the factory director and deputy director over and bring them to the trade union." Wang Juan had no say in this matter and could only ask someone to solve it.
Wang Juan turned to the woman and said, "President Feng is our leader. We also want to find out what happened. Let's go to the union first."
Wang Juan spoke to the security guard and took the woman into the union.
Chen Xiaoling asked them to sit down. As soon as Jiang Xia finished pouring the water, Ye Qian brought the factory director and deputy director over.
On the way, we also told them that President Feng was beaten unconscious and was still in the hospital. His family needed to contact the factory to find out what happened.
The factory director and deputy director don’t know either, and it’s useless to ask them, but they have to come anyway. If anything happens, we can’t let the family members get involved in the factory.
The factory director asked, "What's going on, President Feng?"
The woman repeated what she had just said to Wang Juan.
The deputy factory director asked, "The man was found behind the hospital and was taken directly to the hospital by a passerby. Our factory usually closes at 4 p.m., and the accident happened around 5 p.m. We don't know what President Feng was doing after get off work."
When the woman heard this, she felt that the factory didn't want to take care of this matter.
The woman said, "Our Lao Feng is an employee of the factory. Don't you have any responsibility for his injury?"
The factory manager explained, "Of course he's liable for injuries sustained during working hours, but the accident happened a long time after he got off work, so no one knows what he was doing during that time."
The deputy factory director asked, "Have you reported this to the Public Security Bureau? Let them investigate who did this. It's no use calling us."
After the deputy director said this, the woman was indeed a little dazed. The deputy director knew that the woman came to the factory without knowing anything.
The factory is a place where people go to for everything. Who knows what immoral things President Feng did after get off work that led to him being beaten? President Feng is not a good person, so it is normal for him to be beaten. The factory will not take the blame for President Feng.
After hearing the deputy director's words, the woman came back to her senses.
Yes, why am I so stupid? I could have reported it to the police first and let them find the murderer. If it was someone from the grain factory, the grain factory could not shirk its responsibility.
The factory director said to Wang Juan, "Xiao Wang, go report to the police now."
The factory director felt that the grain factory should make a statement at this time to let the family members feel that the factory was very proactive in handling the matter.
When Wang Juan heard what the factory director said, she reported it to the police directly.
Soon, the police arrived, and it was none other than that police officer again.
After arriving at the union, the public security comrades couldn't help but complain: "It's your union again. Why does your union always have problems?"
After hearing what the police said, the woman asked cautiously: "Is there an accident? Has there been an accident before? What happened?"
The public security officer glanced at Ye Qian, and Ye Qian said, "I did report it to the police before. There was a gangster in our grain factory who kept harassing me."
The woman breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. Since it wasn't the same as her husband, Mr. Feng, then there was no problem.
The woman repeated the previous situation to the public security comrades.
The public security officer said to everyone, "We need to go to the scene and take a look. If the patient is awake, we need to ask the patient about the process and understand the situation."
The woman nodded: "Okay."
The public security comrade looked at everyone and said, "Since we're here today, I'll ask you guys directly."
No one refused, and everyone answered in unison: "Okay."
The factory director and the deputy director did not meet Chairman Feng yesterday, but they did not live in the grain factory, and Chairman Feng's incident happened outside, so naturally they would ask him for a longer time.
The two of them also have witnesses, so the public security comrades can go and question the witnesses and clear the two of them of suspicion.
The next question was asked to our union, and all three gave the same answer. They all went home after get off work, and their families could testify to that.
Next was Ye Qian. She answered truthfully, "I've been organizing materials for President Feng these past two days. I only left the office around 4:30 yesterday. President Feng hadn't left yet when I left."
The public security officer pressed the issue, "What happened next? Where did you go?"
"Of course I went to eat. There were so many people at that time yesterday that the line stretched out the door. There were so many people that I didn't eat."
The public security comrade continued, "Then you didn't have dinner."
Ye Qian answered word for word, without a trace of panic or evasion: "Yes, I ate at a state-owned restaurant. The waiter at the state-owned restaurant can testify for me that it was around 5:30. I even packed up the leftovers."
I went in and out of the grain factory yesterday, so it is impossible for me to say that I have never been out. The guard will know if I ask him. Even if I say that I have never left the grain factory, it will not work. They will definitely ask if there is anyone in the cafeteria who can testify. Although there are many people in the cafeteria, there will always be one or two people who saw me. If not, then there is still a problem with me.
Ye Qian was actually a bit careless. There were loopholes in her testimony. The time didn't match. We can only take it one step at a time. There is no surveillance in the store now. The time she said is just an approximate one. How can you use the minutes and seconds to accuse me?
After collecting these confessions, the public security comrades left the union.
One of the public security comrades said, "I think Ye Qian is a little suspicious."
Another person also thought so: "Yes, there are some. Let me go and take a look at the scene first."
The two came to the place where the passerby had found President Feng before. There were some bloodstains and broken bricks on the ground.
This scene was also arranged by Ye Qian. When leaving the alley, she put the bricks used to hit President Feng into the space and cleaned up the bloodstains in the alley.
After transferring President Feng, he threw the bricks here.
Ye Qian had thought about this. There was no fingerprint detection equipment in the 1960s, so it didn't matter if she left it here. Otherwise, if someone found out that this was not the first crime scene and went to look for other scenes, she would be finished.
