Chapter 224 Witness
Out of courtesy, several people at the door wanted to wait for the people inside to come out first.
However, I didn't expect that the content of the conversation among the people inside was actually related to the lost steel.
"Director Zhao, tell me, what exactly happened? Why did you fire Comrade Su directly? He is, after all, a veteran comrade in the factory and has always been diligent and honest..."
This is the voice of Director Liu.
This was followed by Director Zhao's confident voice.
"Director, I wouldn't have done this if there hadn't been a witness. That day, Niu Er saw with his own eyes that Su Wenbing and others worked together to steal the factory's steel."
There was silence for a moment, and then Director Liu's voice came again: "There must be a misunderstanding. So, call Comrade Su back and I will ask him personally."
"Director, we already have the witnesses, what else is there to ask? It's clearly Su Wenbing who's motivated by money..."
Before he could finish, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to listen anymore.
From the few short sentences between the two, she had clearly realized that there was definitely something wrong with Director Zhao.
Otherwise, why would he fire the eldest brother before the factory director came back, and now he keeps throwing dirty water on him.
Shouldn't you find the lost items first?
Thinking of this, she looked at Su Wenbing: "Brother, do you have any grudges with Director Zhao?"
Su Wenbing shook his head: "No."
That's strange. Since there is no holiday, why would Director Zhao do this?
At this time, Director Zhao inside spoke again: "Director, there is a vacant position in the factory now. Can you let my cousin try it?"
After hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao instantly understood that it was not a feud between them, but that he wanted his elder brother to make room for his cousin.
Jobs are in short supply these days, and there's basically only one position for each person. The steel plant has good performance and benefits. They give out gifts during festivals and holidays, and also give out daily necessities like towels and soap from time to time. It's considered a very good unit.
Without waiting for Director Liu to answer, Su Xiaoxiao walked over and knocked on the door.
The conversation inside stopped abruptly, and soon Director Liu's voice was heard: "Come in."
Su Xiaoxiao pushed the door open and pushed Su Wenbing, who was following behind her, forward.
Director Zhao turned around and saw Su Wenbing being shoved in. His brows furrowed instantly. "Su Wenbing, you've committed such a serious crime. The factory has done its utmost by not reporting you to the police. How dare you come back?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a clear and pleasant female voice coming from behind Su Wenbing: "Don't worry, you don't need to report to the police, the police are already here."
Director Zhao then noticed that the two police officers who had just entered the door suddenly trembled and almost dropped the documents in their hands to the ground.
But he quickly calmed down: "Comrade Public Security, you've come at the perfect time. I want to report that Comrade Su Wenbing from our factory is taking advantage of his job to resell the factory's steel. Please arrest him immediately."
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, he heard the same female voice continue, "Public Security Comrade, I also want to report Director Zhao for stealing steel and framing my eldest brother."
Upon hearing this, Director Zhao immediately glared over. Seeing that it was a young girl, his face instantly stretched long. "Well, Su Wenbing, you stole things from the inside, and now you're trying to turn the tables on me. I was just thinking of calling you back to see if you had any ulterior motives!"
Su Wenbing's face turned unhappy when he heard this, but he had always been straightforward and not good at speaking, so he didn't know what to say for a moment.
After all, he was the leader of the factory, so he was still somewhat in awe of him psychologically.
However, Su Xiaoxiao had no such concerns at all. Judging from what she had just heard outside the door, Director Zhao was clearly lying with his eyes open. It was clearly the factory director who wanted the eldest brother to come back, but he was just trying to flatter himself.
"Bullshit! Don't think you can take advantage of your age. My eldest brother has worked diligently in the factory for so many years without any problems. If he had second thoughts, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until now? Besides, there are so many things in the factory that are more valuable than steel. Why would he resell steel? It takes up space and won't fetch much. If he really wants to sell it, after all the effort, wouldn't it be more valuable if he just sold the machines?"
After he finished speaking, Director Zhao couldn't think of any rebuttal for a moment.
Director Liu was also thoughtful. What the girl said made sense. Even if all the steel in the factory was sold, not a single piece of equipment would be worth anything.
Moreover, this device is bulky and heavy, and it is very difficult to carry. If he also chooses to sell the equipment.
Realizing what he had just been thinking, Director Liu cleared his throat and said, "Alright, since the public security comrades are here, I'll trouble you two to investigate this matter thoroughly and help us catch the real thief."
The older police officer, Chen, stepped forward and said, "Hello, Director Liu, could you please call the witness over so we can have a standoff at the scene? We might be able to find some clues."
He said this in a tactful way, but Director Liu could clearly sense that this public security comrade was probably suspecting that the eyewitness was up to something.
"No problem, I'll send someone to call him right away."
As Director Liu spoke, he patted Director Zhao beside him and said, "Director Zhao, go get Niu Er."
Director Zhao didn't expect that the police would suddenly come to investigate this matter. He was at a loss when he was suddenly patted on the shoulder by Director Liu, and he was startled.
"Huh? Okay, I'll go call him right away."
After realizing what was happening, he quickly responded.
A few minutes later, he walked in with a short, thin man.
As soon as Niu Er entered the room, he noticed Su Xiaoxiao standing next to Su Wenbing. The girl had a pretty little face the size of a palm, and her skin was so white and tender that it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it.
He was so lost in thought that he watched for a moment.
Director Zhao tugged at his sleeve in dissatisfaction: "Niu Er, why don't you quickly tell the police what you saw that night."
"Ah? Okay."
Niu Er was about to speak when Director Zhao suddenly reminded him, "You must seek truth from facts. This concerns the reputation of our factory. If something goes wrong, it won't just be one person who suffers. Do you understand?"
Niu Er nodded hurriedly, rubbing his hands, his expression a little nervous: "The public security comrades are here, I must seek truth from facts and absolutely not say a single word nonsense."
Chen Gongan winked at the young policeman behind him, and the other party immediately understood and took out a pen and paper to take notes.
Niu Er swallowed his saliva and said, "Comrade Public Security, this is what happened. I forgot to bring something that day and only remembered it halfway through my journey. I was about to come back to get it, but when I arrived at the factory, I saw Su Wenbing collaborating with others inside and outside the factory to smuggle steel out."
Chen Gongan stared into his eyes and asked, "Did you see clearly?"
Niu Er straightened his back immediately: "Of course, my eyesight is very good, I can definitely see it clearly."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a high-pitched female voice ringing in his ears: "You are talking nonsense!"
