Chapter 225 Who Stole the Steel
Niu Er was startled by the voice. When he looked up and saw that it was the beautiful girl from before, he instantly regained his confidence.
"I'm not kidding. It was Su Wenbing who was on duty that day. It was him I saw."
Su Xiaoxiao took a few steps and stopped in front of Niu Er, looking up at him.
This person was not much taller than her, and his eyes were evasive when he looked at people, which showed that he was guilty.
"You're talking nonsense. It was a cloudy day, you came back in a hurry, and the lights in the factory were off. How could you have immediately seen if that man was my brother?"
Niu Er was frightened by her words. He was stunned for two seconds before saying, "He is holding a flashlight. Yes, he is holding a flashlight."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Su Xiaoxiao walk over and pull the curtains of the office directly, and then close the door. The room suddenly became several degrees darker.
Su Wenbing was puzzled: "Third sister, what are you going to do?"
Su Xiaoxiao calmly pulled out a flashlight from her bag and turned it on. "Everyone, take a look. When we hold this flashlight in our hands, the brightest part is our hands. The light gets weaker as we move outward. Our faces are quite a distance away from our hands. If it were any darker, it would be difficult to clearly illuminate our faces."
At this point, she suddenly changed the subject: "It was a cloudy night, especially dark, and pitch black all around. In such a situation, if you were a little further away, it would be impossible to see the other person's face clearly. So, may I ask, Comrade Niu, how did you know that the man was my brother?"
“This…I…”
Niu Er didn't know how to explain it for a moment. How would he know this?
When he got nervous, he subconsciously looked at Director Zhao, hoping that the other party would say something.
But at this moment, Director Zhao didn't dare to show it. He immediately cleared his throat and said seriously, "Niu Er, how could you do this? You didn't see it clearly and you just made up nonsense? Who gave you the courage?"
Factory Director Liu then added, "Since this witness is gone, it doesn't necessarily mean that Comrade Su was responsible for the missing steel. Thank you, two public security comrades, for your hard work in investigating this matter."
Chen Gongan nodded when he heard this: "Director Liu, you're too polite. This is our responsibility. We will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."
At this point, he added, "Could you please find someone to take us to the scene later?"
"No problem, Director Zhao. Take two police officers to the factory where the steel was lost."
Director Liu immediately said to Director Zhao.
Director Zhao didn't expect that Director Liu would ask him to bring people over, and he was immediately nervous and uneasy.
But he didn't dare to show anything and could only let the two police officers lead the way.
Before leaving, he winked at Niu Er.
When Niu Er saw Director Zhao leave, he immediately wanted to run away too: "Director, I still have work to do, so I'll leave first..."
Before he could finish his words, Su Xiaoxiao stopped him and said, "Comrade Niu, I have something I want to discuss with you. Is that convenient?"
Niu Er really wanted to say that it was inconvenient, but when he saw the tall and strong Su Wenbing standing next to him and the unhappy Director Liu, he could only grit his teeth and nod in agreement.
"No... no problem, go ahead."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled at him, then her expression changed and her voice suddenly rose: "Niu Er, who asked you to falsely accuse my brother?"
The sudden change scared Niu Er. Not only Niu Er, but even Director Liu patted his chest in fear. How could this little girl change her expression so suddenly? It scared him.
"I... I didn't, I just saw it... No, I didn't see it... I was mistaken, yes, I was mistaken."
Niu Er was so shocked by her that he almost lost his mind. It took him a long time to insist that he had seen it wrong.
Su Xiaoxiao was not in a hurry and continued slowly: "How much money did Director Zhao give you to do this?"
"Are you kidding me? When did I ever take money from Director Zhao?"
The shock on Niu Er's face flashed away, and then he spoke in a firm tone.
"Oh, sorry, I asked the wrong question. Now, I'll ask you a question and you answer it. If you can answer all of them, I'll believe you. How about that?"
"Why should I listen to you? You are not our leader."
Niu Er didn't want to pay any attention to Su Xiaoxiao. This girl had such a pretty face but her mouth was really rude.
But Director Liu spoke up at this time: "She is not your leader, I am. Do what she says."
He was very curious about what the little girl wanted to do.
After the factory director spoke, Niu Er didn't dare to do anything weird anymore and could only answer Su Xiaoxiao's questions obediently.
"How old are you?"
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly said.
"Twenty-three."
"Where are you from?"
"Kanjiatun."
"How many people are there in your family?"
"Six."
…
Su Xiaoxiao asked questions one after another, faster and faster.
Niu Er gave the answer without even having time to think.
Fortunately, these are mostly unimportant issues.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Su Xiaoxiao ask the next question: "Did Director Zhao ask you to slander Su Wenbing?"
"yes."
Niu Er blurted out a word, and after he realized what he had said, he wanted to slap himself twice.
He said hurriedly: "The question just now doesn't count. I dialed the wrong number. Is that what I wanted to answer?"
Su Xiaoxiao ignored him and turned to look at Director Liu: "Director, you just heard it. This matter has nothing to do with my brother. Director Zhao deliberately framed him."
Director Liu finally came to his senses. This little girl had just used quick questions and answers so that Niu Er had no time to think, and naturally no time to lie.
Thinking of this, he looked at Niu Er with a sullen face: "Niu Er, do you have anything else to say?"
"No, Director, she was the one who harmed me. She deliberately made me say the wrong thing!"
Niu Er's face was almost twisted and crazy. He glared at Su Xiaoxiao viciously, as if he wanted to stare a hole in her body.
"Niu Er, if you explain yourself now, I can give you another chance. If you continue to talk nonsense, you won't have to stay in this factory anymore."
Director Liu had a cold face and an extremely serious expression.
Niu Er was frightened when he met his gaze. He didn't care about anything else and his legs went weak, and he fell to his knees with a thud.
He grabbed Director Liu's trouser legs and started howling, "Director, Director Zhao forced me to do this. This is none of my business. He said if I don't do it, he'll fire me and make room for his cousin."
Su Xiaoxiao sneered. It turned out to be for the quota of this steel plant.
Director Liu looked down at Niu Er, his expression growing even colder. "Tell me clearly what's going on."
Niu Er didn't dare to hide anything anymore and could only tell the whole story.
It turned out that he found something he had left in the factory halfway through his journey that day, so he planned to go back to get it. However, when he arrived at the factory gate, he found it was too dark, so he decided to return.
After walking a few steps, he heard Director Zhao's voice. He was startled and made a noise in a hurry, and was discovered by Director Zhao who came out with a flashlight.
Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask: "So, it was Director Zhao who stole the steel?"
