Yes, they were definitely on the same page.
Those who know where Li Chu lives can be crossed out directly, because they don't need to follow him at all.
"Xiao Chu, I think you can cross out all these colleagues and classmates. If they want to know where you live, it's relatively easy for them. They can just ask around at the hospital."
And what does this Chairman Lou do?
"Oh, this Chairman Lou is..."
After listening to Li Chu's explanation, Wang Ziwen nodded: "Then we can cross that out. He has no reason to do that."
I asked, "Why did you write Zhang Meng's name on this?"
Li Chu patted his forehead: "I was dizzy too."
Wang Ziwen put down the list in his hand, put his arm around Li Chu's shoulder, looked into his eyes and said, "Xiao Chu, don't be nervous, I will help you. If all else fails, you have your parents' comrades-in-arms and Uncle Wang. You must keep a clear head right now."
Li Chu sat there, bending over and burying his face in his legs; he was indeed a little nervous.
Although he appeared calm on the surface, he had actually been in a state of mental congestion since last night.
Straightening up and taking a few deep breaths, Li Chu nodded to his brother-in-law: "Brother-in-law, I'm fine now. I'll control my emotions."
Wang Ziwen patted Li Chu on the shoulder again: "Maybe it's someone who wants to rob you, or someone who wants to follow you into the house to steal things. We should be careful, but don't be too stressed."
After saying that, Wang Ziwen picked up the list again: "Come on, let's continue, you two."
"Xiao Chu, what do Jiang Cheng and Jiang Li do?"
"Oh, this is my childhood friend, a brother and sister. They seem to have just arrived before the New Year. My sister knows them too."
"Just arrived? Where did you come from?"
Li Chu recounted the story of her brother-in-law and her brother-in-law in detail.
Haven't you seen each other for the past few months?
"No, Jiang Cheng must be busy with work in that department, and it wouldn't be appropriate for me to go see Jiang Li alone."
Does Jiang Cheng know where you live?
Li Chu thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "They probably don't know. After that meeting, I was going to invite them to my home if I had time, but my sister doesn't let me have much contact with people from that department, so I didn't contact him. He hasn't come to see me in the past few months either."
"In other words, you don't know whether his sister actually went to work in the knitting factory or not."
"Yes, we haven't been in contact since that phone call."
Wang Ziwen thought for a moment and said, "I'll call the knitting factory and ask."
"Brother-in-law, are you suspecting those two siblings?"
“It concerns your safety, and I doubt everyone now.”
After saying that, Wang Ziwen picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Hey, Lao Yao, this is Wang Ziwen."
...
"I want to ask you something. Has your factory finished recruiting yet?"
...
"Oh, could you check if there's anyone named Jiang Li among the people who came in this time?"
...
"The ginger in ginger, the li in grass."
...
How old are you?
Wang Ziwen glanced up at her brother-in-law.
Li Chu quickly replied, "The same age as me, almost thirty."
"Old Yao, it's probably around thirty."
...
"Could you check this carefully for me and see if she got in through some other means instead of the official recruitment process? She has a brother who works in that kind of department; maybe she got in through connections."
...
"Yes, after June."
...
"Okay, I'll be at the grain bureau this afternoon. Please hurry."
...
After hanging up the phone, Wang Ziwen looked at Li Chu and said, "The old Yao I just called is the factory manager of the knitting factory. They recruited a total of fifty people this time, and I don't remember anyone with that name."
"Never mind, I'll wait for him to call me back."
Li Chu frowned and thought for a while before speaking, "Brother-in-law, where could she go if she didn't get into this factory?"
"The only factories hiring during this period are knitting factories. I haven't heard of any other factories doing anything. But if he used connections and paid money to get a spot, then it's hard to say."
"Buy a license plate? How do you buy one?"
"You know that he's capable of taking over now."
Li Chu nodded: "Yes, I know."
“For example, if Zhang San is about to retire, he can have his own child or a relative’s child take over his job. But he happens to not have either of those. If someone outside knows about his situation, they will ask someone to go to Zhang San and say that they can buy the quota. Once the price is agreed, Zhang San will report to his workplace that the person who bought his quota is his relative. Everyone in the factory knows about this situation, but everyone turns a blind eye.”
Wang Ziwen patiently explained it to Li Chu.
"So there's such a way to do this?" Li Chu had no idea that the succession spot could be bought and sold.
"So nobody's going to do anything about it?"
"Who cares about this? Even the leaders might run into this. If their own relatives' children don't have a quota and can't get into the factory, and they block that path, the people below will curse them. So everyone just pretends not to know."
"Hey, I've learned something new today."
"Let's not talk about that anymore, let's finish looking at this list as soon as possible."
There weren't many names left on the list, and it was quickly reviewed.
Wang Ziwen and Li Chu stared at the last two names on the list: Jiang Cheng and Jiang Li.
Everyone else was excluded for various reasons.
"You've got it wrong. Why would he have someone follow me? That doesn't make sense. We were very close when we were kids, as well as Xiaojun and Xiaobing from Uncle Wang's family."
"You said it yourself, it was when we were kids, how many years has it been since you last saw each other?"
"No, no, brother-in-law, that doesn't make sense. Why would he do that? There must be a motive."
"Nobody said it was him. Now they've just left the names of the brother and sister. You can give a reason to cross out everyone else, but the reason they're left out is because you yourself can't explain it."
Li Chu looked at the list over and over again.
Wang Ziwen looked at Li Chu seriously and asked, "If it really is him, what are you going to do?"
Li Chu looked at his brother-in-law with some confusion: "Brother-in-law... it shouldn't be him."
"I already said it was just a hypothetical, just a guess. Now that we've done this investigation and have some results, we should do something about it. Otherwise, have we been busy all this time just because we're bored?"
Wang Ziwen is right. Now that the problem has been identified, it must be thoroughly investigated.
Li Chu nodded and asked, "Brother-in-law, how should we investigate?"
"Let Xiao Liu stay with him for two days."
"Follow him? Is that alright? Jiang Cheng works for that department, and he's also a former soldier."
Wang Ziwen smiled slightly: "Don't underestimate Xiao Liu. If it weren't for the fact that he killed prisoners last time, and even tortured them, the army would never have allowed him to be discharged."
