It has been a long time, and Ergouzi has been doing very well. In addition, An Hongdou is generous. After cooperating with him, he has indeed made a lot of money and gradually got rid of his bad habits.
What's more, Ergou has always been shrewd. Even if he wanted to take advantage, it is impossible for him to do so when he is still an apprentice.
He hadn't learned the skills yet, and there was a master watching in the car, so stealing things obviously involved too much risk, and there was no way he didn't understand this.
When it comes to matters like this, we definitely can't just use force to resolve everything like we did last time.
After leaving the school, An Hongdou called Zhao Xiaoyue, "I'll go to the factory first to see what's going on. You go to Jiangda to find Chen Xiangzhi. He's more familiar with this place and will definitely have a better solution than us."
"Hey, I'll go right away." Zhao Xiaoyue was extremely anxious at the moment. After hearing what An Hongdou said, she turned around and ran to the side.
An Hongdou quickly reminded her, "Get on your bike and go faster."
Zhao Xiaoyue hurriedly turned around and went back to ride her bicycle, and disappeared as soon as she turned around.
An Hongdou also hurried towards the garment factory.
Zhu Xinyi was looking around at the gate. When she saw her coming, she quickly stepped forward to greet her and said in short, "This matter has caused quite a stir in the factory. It is estimated that it will be very serious. My connections are no longer useful. Sister-in-law, you still have to discuss it with Brother Shen. Use your strength as soon as possible. The person is still locked up in the factory. It will be difficult to get him out if he is sent in."
Zhu Xinyi is a director in the factory, so it is impossible for him to be completely unable to contribute.
However, An Dalei was the one he brought in, and many people knew about this matter. If he tried to exonerate him at this time, he would inevitably implicate himself.
There are a lot of intrigues in the factory, and there are many people who want to pull him down and replace him. After all, their friendship is not that deep, and there is no need for him to take such a big risk for An Dalei.
An Hongdou breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the person was still detained in the factory.
The matter has not been reported yet and is just being handled at the factory, so it should be a lot simpler.
After Zhu Xinyi finished speaking, An Hongdou asked, "Brother Zhu, can you tell me what's going on with An Dalei now, and what's going on with him stealing fabric from the factory?"
"He is fine, he is just locked up temporarily. The leaders of the processing plant are still discussing the follow-up. He will definitely be fine before the result is reached." Zhu Xinyi said: "As for the stolen cloth, it was the cloth factory outside the province that was pulled back. There was a slight difference between the amount they loaded and the amount they pulled back. The loss was probably a few hundred yuan. When the goods were loaded, they compared the quantity. The driver and An Dalei said it was correct, so the mistake should not have occurred here. There were only two of them in the car all the way. The driver who taught An Dalei to drive said that after returning to Jiangcheng, An Dalei went down to the toilet for a full half an hour. Now it is mainly because this period of time is too long, so they suspect him."
Spending half an hour to go to the toilet is indeed a bit long.
An Hongdou asked again, "Can I see him now?"
Since she hasn't met the person yet, An Hongdou doesn't dare to draw any specific conclusions.
Now she just hoped that Ergouzi would not be so confused. If he really did it, no one could save him.
It’s no wonder that An Hongdou wasn’t so determined to believe in Ergouzi, since he had a criminal record.
He could even pick up the pumpkins grown by people on the roadside in his hometown, not to mention the obvious profits in front of him.
"You can meet him, but you have to hurry up and persuade him. If he really did it, he should hand over the cloth he took away as soon as possible. This will help him get away with some of his guilt. Otherwise, the rest of his life will be over." Zhu Xinyi didn't want An Dalei to really do it. After all, he was the one who brought the person in. If An Dalei did something bad, it would be embarrassing for him.
At this time, Zhu Xinyi felt extremely regretful. If she had known earlier, she should not have agreed to help Chen Xiangzhi bring An Dalei in, otherwise she would not have fallen into this dilemma.
Ergouzi was now locked in a room. An Hongdou was brought in secretly by Zhu Xinyi, and after greeting the guard at the door, she was allowed a brief visiting time.
As soon as An Hongdou entered, the door of the room was closed.
Er Gouzi turned around and saw An Hongdou. His uneasy heart calmed down a little. He stood up and explained, "Hongdou, I can swear that I didn't take those fabrics. You must save me..."
It would be impossible not to panic.
Ergouzi is a countryman who came to the city. The only difference between him and ordinary people is that he is eloquent and a little more shrewd.
When he was in the countryside, he had done some petty thefts, but after arriving in the city, he experienced the rigor of the big cities, and with An Hongdou's repeated warnings, he was only waiting to learn how to drive so that he could get a regular license, and he had absolutely no intention of taking advantage of others.
After hearing Er Gouzi say that he didn't do it, An Hongdou felt a little relieved, but she still confirmed again: "Brother Er Gou, now is not the time to shirk responsibility. Are you sure you took the things? You must tell me the truth, otherwise I can't help you no matter how powerful I am."
"I really didn't take it. I swear to God, if I took it, I, Er Gouzi, will die miserably." Er Gouzi was almost wronged and was so angry that he swore a poisonous oath. "From the beginning of loading, my master and I ate and drank in the car all the way. Yes, I got diarrhea on the way and got off the car for half an hour, but where could I put the stolen cloth in the wilderness?"
If you think about it carefully, this makes sense. Even if he stole something, he would definitely exchange it for money. He couldn't just throw it in the wild.
"Don't panic. Think carefully about whether you have offended anyone in the factory during this period of time?" An Hongdou asked again.
Er Gouzi stood there, instantly lost in memories. "It's even more impossible that I have offended anyone. To put it bluntly, I am just an apprentice driver. I usually load and unload goods and drive with the truck. Apart from some interactions with people in the warehouse, I don't know many people in the factory. But I can guarantee that I have never offended anyone."
With his smooth talk, the people in the warehouse have become close friends with him. Even if it's just a superficial relationship, they wouldn't cheat him like this, right?
"By the way, where is your master? You two were driving the car together. If something was lost, it's the responsibility of both of you. You can't blame it all on you alone, right?" An Hongdou suddenly remembered this. Moreover, from what Zhu Xinyi said, it was the master who pointed out Ergou.
