Chapter 70 70 Didn’t you really hear the sound of the wooden fish being struck? …
Although he didn't hear anything, Ding Guo knew that someone could find out the truth.
When Qi Guangming came out, Ding Guo followed him quietly.
As a result, Qi Guangming walked around outside and went straight home.
Ding Guo: ...
It seems that he is killing time outside using the excuse of working overtime.
After watching Qi Guangming enter the family compound, Ding Guo climbed over the wall again and hid near Qi Guangming's house to listen for a while. She only heard some family conversations. It seemed that this person was not at home to talk about work or other things. She did not capture any useful information. She was ready to give the other party a wooden fish, but the target was out of her sight and could not be used.
Ding Guo was suddenly a little disappointed.
"Mouse, I really like some of the functions of your props, but I am speechless about some of their shortcomings. Can't you lock onto the target through the wall?"
The system pretends to be dead and reports silently.
Several props have been upgraded recently, all of which were suggested by the host and adopted by the higher-ups.
Afraid of being nagged by its own host again, the system took the initiative to say: "Host, wait for him to come out tomorrow morning and use it on him. You can use it three times in a row and torture him for the whole morning."
It seems that this is the only way.
Ding Guo wrote down the clues she heard with a pen and paper, and then quietly went to Xiao Haifeng's house in the middle of the night and slipped the note through the crack of the door.
Some clues don't work as well in her hands as they do in others.
She had no plan to stay in the staff quarters for the night. After stuffing the note in, she went out, found a suitable corner not far from the staff quarters, and slipped into the space.
In the early morning, Qi Guangming rode his bike out of the staff quarters, saying hello to his acquaintances who worked with him along the way, chatting casually. As they were talking, he suddenly heard the sound of a wooden fish. He was stunned and looked around. At first he thought someone was beating a stick, but after listening for a while he felt that the rhythm was wrong and frowned, saying, "Who is practicing feudal superstition?"
Who has the guts to openly knock on a wooden fish? Why not recite some sutras at the same time?
He was accompanied by a section chief, who looked around after hearing this: "What's wrong, Director Qi? What feudal superstition?"
Although Qi Guangming is the deputy director, those who know how to speak will omit the word "deputy" when addressing him in private.
"Someone is beating a wooden fish, didn't you hear it?" Qi Guangming was surprised. How could Section Chief Sun next to him not hear such a clear sound?
Section Chief Sun was confused: "No sound?"
Qi Guangming was stunned, but the bang, bang, bang sounds were right next to his ears, maintaining a fixed rhythm, and were very clear.
"Director Qi, did you not sleep well last night?" Are you hallucinating?
Qi Guangming stopped the car and someone behind him greeted him: "Good morning, Deputy Director Qi!"
"Good morning, wait, Lao Zhang, did you hear the sound of knocking the wooden fish?" Qi Guangming was sure that he had heard it correctly, so he hurriedly stopped the person who was about to drive past and asked.
The man who was stopped hurriedly braked the car and turned around to ask in confusion, "What's that wooden fish sound?" He smiled and said, "Deputy Director Qi, are you craving for fish? I'll ask my sister-in-law to make you some later."
"Really not?" Qi Guangming frowned and confirmed in a serious tone.
"No!"
Both Old Zhang, who was stopped by him, and Section Chief Sun next to him shook their heads.
Section Chief Sun even saw Xiao Haifeng riding a bicycle and catching up slowly, and asked, "Director Xiao, did you hear any noise?"
Xiao Haifeng tried his best to restrain his gaze from only looking at Qi Guangming, and asked with a curious smile: "Sound? There are all kinds of sounds, car bells, and voices." He looked to the side and said, "Whose car needs oiling? I hear the chain turning and it doesn't sound right..."
Qi Guangming's face looked a little grim because the rhythmic bang bang sound was still ringing. Was there something wrong with his ears?
He frowned and asked, "Didn't you hear the sound of the wooden fish?"
"Knocking the wooden fish?" Xiao Haifeng looked over and said with a smile, "Is Deputy Director Qi too tired recently? If so, why not take a leave and recuperate at home for a while."
He wanted to ask if the Bodhisattva came to save him because he had done too many immoral things.
Qi Guangming's face became even uglier.
When he arrived at the company, Xiao Haifeng entered the office, took out the note he had picked up from the floor of his home in the morning, and read it again and again, with an unconcealable smile in his eyes.
I don’t know how Comrade Ding Guo found these clues, and he slipped the note into his home without anyone noticing.
But it cannot be denied that Comrade Ding Guo's ability is stronger than he imagined.
Previously, he helped Qi Guangming to find things to do to divert his attention, but he thought that Ding Guo might need some time to plan, but he didn't expect that this girl was so efficient and so active in trying to bring Qi Guangming down. Not only did she start to act, she also gave him a big gift.
Although this gift can be regarded as a follow-up to his help, if it weren't for Ding Guo, he really wouldn't be able to enjoy this follow-up.
Last year, Xiao Haifeng caught a speculator. When he was ready to ask about the interrogation of the man, he found out that the man had been released. After asking around, he found out that the man was released by Qi Guangming. He saw the man again by chance that day. He saw him moving around in the West Lane. He thought that since the man was released by Qi Guangming, he must have some relationship with Qi Guangming, so he wanted to arrest him again. In addition to making things difficult for Qi Guangming, he also wanted to see if he could dig out something.
This time it was not bad. We arrested three people and confiscated a batch of goods.
But I didn't expect that Ding Guo would send a more detailed clue just after the man was caught, and I didn't expect that there was a bigger story behind it.
For example, regarding the batch of goods they seized this time, it is not difficult to judge from the clues sent by Ding Guo that Qi Guangming knew about that batch of goods. From this, it is not difficult to figure out that Qi Guangming is a cadre of the Revolutionary Committee on the one hand, and controls a certain black market on the other.
"Food, food!"
If it's related to food, then could it be related to Qi Guangming's brother-in-law? It must be related.
Xiao Haifeng was usually calm, but at this moment he was pacing back and forth in the office excitedly. He smoked two cigarettes before he calmed down. Then he sat down at his desk, struck a match and lit it. After watching the note burn to ashes, he picked up the phone and made several calls.
On the other side, Qi Guangming was almost driven crazy by the wooden fish. With that voice in his ears, he could not concentrate at all and could not do anything. He could not concentrate on the documents on the table. He wanted to make a phone call, so he picked up the receiver. There was a bang bang bang sound in his ears. He hung up the phone irritably, pressed his throbbing solar plexus, and threw the enamel pot on the table with a wave of his hand.
By noon, Qi Guangming was no longer so irritable. He sat upright at his desk with a serene and kind expression, as if he had some realization.
The sound of the wooden fish that had been ringing for the whole morning finally stopped, leaving only the lingering sound of auditory hallucinations lingering in my ears.
He picked up the phone and dialed a number. When the call was connected, Qi Guangming said in a low and gentle voice, "Brother, I've been thinking about this for the whole morning. I think we can't embezzle state property anymore. Stop it over there. Don't send the grain you mentioned two days ago over here for now."
"Guangming, do you know what you are talking about?" The person on the other end of the phone shouted angrily, "Are you crazy?"
A cold shout through the microphone made Qi Guangming shudder suddenly and his head buzzed.
Yes, is he crazy? How could he say such a thing? He said hurriedly, "Several of my people were arrested in West Lane. I haven't figured out whether it was an accident or someone was targeting them. Don't make any moves over there in the next two days. Wait for my call."
The person on the other end of the phone felt something was wrong. The tone of his brother-in-law's previous words was completely different from the tone of his last sentence. Could something have really happened? He didn't talk any more, thinking about going home in the evening to talk to his brother-in-law in person.
Qi Guangming didn't know yet that when he made the call, a house in a certain alley was taken over by Xiao Haifeng.
On the other side, Ding Guo also took the salted fish from Ding Dayong. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva at the aroma and said with a smile, "It's fried well. I'm going to work the night shift tomorrow and won't be back tonight. Be careful on your business trip tomorrow. Follow what I taught you before. When encountering emergencies, make your own judgments and don't act rashly."
"I understand, sis."
Ding Dayong left, and Ding Guo carried the things back to the factory.
In the morning, she took the initiative to ask her team leader to transfer her to the night shift. Now that she doesn't have to do new research, there is no need for special care for her. Everyone is taking shifts, so it is better for her to take the normal shift. Besides, she has more free time during the day, which makes it easier to get things done.
I just don't know whether Xiao Haifeng has taken any action. If Xiao Haifeng drags his feet, she will have to find a way to make use of the clues; if he takes action, that would be the best, Qi Guangming will definitely start to clean up the mess in a hurry, the more anxious he is, the more confused he is, and the easier it will be to reveal flaws, and the more clues she will be able to find.
After dark at night, she once again hid near Qi Guangming's house. This time, after locking onto the sound, she heard a strange voice.
He seemed to have started drinking, toasting with Qi Guangming. Qi Guangming and a female voice next to him called this man "brother", and there was also a young girl's voice calling the owner of that voice "uncle".
Ding Guo suddenly perked up. Wasn't this Sun Shuzhao, Qi Guangming's brother-in-law, who worked at the Grain Bureau, whom she had planned to visit but had not had the chance to visit yet?
After the meal, the two seemed to find a place to talk.
Ding Guo tried hard to listen to the two people's voices amid the noise, fearing that he would miss any information by accident.
"What happened to you during the day?" It was Sun Shuzhao's voice.
Qi Guangming said, "I don't know either. I don't know what happened today. Since this morning, I have been hearing someone knocking wooden fish beside my ear. It has been knocking for the whole morning. I was upset... I was upset in the first half, and in the second half, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable in my heart. I can't explain it."
It's not that he couldn't explain it, it was just unbelievable. He actually began to reflect on his past actions and suddenly felt that the "business" with his brother-in-law was not suitable, which led to that phone call.
Sun Shuzhao: "How's West Lane?"
Qi Guangming: "Three of them have been arrested. I will try to get them out in the next two days. I will let the others lie dormant for now."
My brother-in-law is coming tonight, so he went straight home after get off work and didn’t go to West Lane to take a look.
Sun Shuzhao: "Are the three people who went in there keeping their mouths shut? If not, then..."
The rest of the words were not said, but Ding Guo seemed to see a cruel expression on the man's face from his sudden cold tone, and even imagined whether the other party was making a throat-cutting gesture.
Qi Guangming: "It should be fine in a day or two. I will arrange someone to remind those three tomorrow."
This arrangement should be made as early as possible, but he was tortured by the sound of the wooden fish this morning and was also upset in the afternoon. In addition, the person had just been arrested, so he was afraid of being targeted if he acted rashly.
Afterwards, the two talked about some accounts, the arrangements for the batch of grain in Sun Shuzhao's hands, and the next plans. Ding Guo listened and took notes in the notebook.
Not long after, Qi Guangming and a middle-aged man came down one after another. The man went to unlock his bicycle. Qi Guangming reminded him to be careful on the road and watched him leave.
When Qi Guangming turned around and went back, Ding Guo flashed out from the space, climbed over the wall as if he was familiar with the way, and chased after him on a bicycle.
Although she had not been to Sun Shuzhao's house yet, she knew the general direction, so it didn't take long for her to hear the sound of a bicycle coming from the front. Ding Guo didn't dare to follow too closely, so she kept a distance and didn't use the small speaker to lock onto the sound, saving it for when she got to Sun Shuzhao's house.
Just as I was about to complain to Haozi about the restrictions on the use of props, the system's voice suddenly rang out: "Host, the upgrade of the small speaker and shoes is complete."
As Ding Guo wished, the small speaker added sound locking and noise shielding functions, but the number of uses is still limited to five times a day.
The function of the shoe prop has been optimized. It was a single shoe before, but now it is a pair. After successfully locking the target, there is no need to throw the shoes down again and again to guide the direction. The shoes will automatically "walk" and take the host directly to the destination.
Ding Guo: ...
A pair of shoes was walking in front leading the way, and even Ding Guo felt horrified when he thought about it.
Okay, this is pretty good, what else do you need a bicycle for?
Ding Guo locked onto the target immediately, no longer worrying about losing it if it was too far away or being discovered if it was too close. He just used his shoes to lock onto the target, and a pair of shoes appeared in front of him, clattering and clattering quickly to guide Ding Guo forward. The speed was quite humane, as it was based on Ding Guo's cycling speed.
Sun Shuzhao's home was far away, and it was dark, so he rode slowly. It took him two hours to finally lead Ding Guo into an alley with his shoes.
"Isn't this the unit's dormitory area?"
This is obviously not the common terrain of a family compound, but more like an ordinary residential area.
But the address Xiao Haifeng gave her was a dormitory in the Grain Bureau!
Ding Guo quickly turned on the small speaker to collect the sound.
At this time, most people have already gone to sleep, and there are fewer miscellaneous noises, so the knocking sound coming from the small speaker is particularly prominent.
Ding Guo also put the car into the space and walked forward in the dark following the shoes.
During this time, a female voice came from the small speaker, with a scolding tone: "Who are you trying to scare to death in the middle of the night? Why didn't you tell me in advance before you came here?"
Then came Sun Shuzhao's voice: "There's something going on, let's go in and talk!"
"Oh, damn it!"
Ding Guo: ???
She came here to identify the place and look for clues, but it seemed like a melon fell on her head.
Does Sun Shuzhao’s family know that there is a little one here?
In this day and age, if you dare to do this, won’t you be able to catch them all?
But thinking of his relationship with Qi Guangming, Ding Guo fell silent. His own brother-in-law was a member of the Revolutionary Committee, so he should not be afraid of being arrested.
From the small speaker came the sound of something rubbing against each other, as well as flirtatious laughter and smacking sounds.
Dry wood and raging fire? But she didn't want to eat this melon directly, could she give some clues first?
But they didn't start doing it right away. It seemed that they just touched each other twice and kissed each other twice and then stopped.
Sun Shuzhao spoke again, but his breath was a little unstable, and he said, "Let's go to the cellar and take a look."
"You came to check the cellar in the middle of the night. What happened? Everything is there!"
"Take a look and feel relieved." Sun Shuzhao said, "Something went wrong with my brother-in-law, so this batch of goods will have to be kept for two more days..."
Then there was a series of clanging and banging noises. I don't know what the cellar was covered with. It was a bit difficult to open it based on the noise, but the conversation between the two people continued.
The woman's voice asked, "How long will it take? Will there be new stock?"
Sun Shuzhao probably went down to the cellar, his voice a little muffled: "It will probably take only three to five days. The people in West Lane have been arrested. We need to first figure out whether it is a coincidence or someone is targeting us."
"Who arrested him? Director Qi didn't even know about the operation?"
Sun Shuzhao said disdainfully: "If you don't say he's stupid, he's simply an idiot. He was in the Revolutionary Committee, but he let the people in the Revolutionary Committee arrest his people."
Ding Guo: Oh wow!
Qi Guangming, do you know that you are disliked by your brother-in-law?
Then there was another series of clanging sounds, as if Sun Shuzhao had crawled out of the cellar, and the two of them went into the house.
Pouring water and drinking water, followed by a rustling sound, and then an indescribable scene. Ding Guo didn't want to listen to it, and wanted to ask the system if it could temporarily turn off the small speaker without affecting the number of uses. He just shouted "rat" and it seemed to be over when he heard the noise.
Ding Guo: “…It’s okay!”
Two minutes later, Sun Shuzhao was reluctantly sent out by the woman.
Ding Guo: ...
Then he went to a dormitory of the Grain Bureau to find out which direction the dormitory gate was facing, and Ding Guo returned the same way.
Along the way, he was thinking whether to come over tomorrow and tell Sun Shuzhao's family about it, or to give the clue directly to Xiao Haifeng.
We still need to confirm with Xiao Haifeng whether he has taken any action. If he is too slow, then forget it.
Reporting this to Sun Shuzhao’s wife… is actually quite risky.
If Sun Shu's wife is ruthless and doesn't worry about her husband going to jail, then she can take the opportunity to make a fuss. But if she is weak and can't stand up, then she will alert the enemy.
There is another possibility, what if they already knew about it and just acquiesced?
She rushed to the Revolutionary Committee's family compound, climbed over the wall, and slipped another note to Xiao Haifeng's home. This time she didn't give any direct clues, but instead set a time and place to meet and talk. She had to confirm the situation on Xiao Haifeng's side.
After stuffing the note in, he turned it over, hid it in the same corner as yesterday, and slipped into the space.
Ding Guo was a little tired after a lot of activity today, so he took a shower, washed and dried his clothes, and went back to the bedroom to rest on the bed.
The next morning, as Qi Guangming just left the family compound, the familiar sound of wooden fish rang in his ears again.
Qi Guangming felt a chill on his back and his scalp went numb.
He, the person who fought against feudal superstition, felt that something was wrong at this time and couldn't help but want to engage in feudal superstition!
For two consecutive days, the sound of wooden fish started to be heard as soon as he left the staff quarters. Could it be that something was going to happen to him recently and he shouldn't go out?
Qi Guang returned to the family compound with a look of dismay on his face, but the sound of the wooden fish did not stop.
He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, turned around and saw Xiao Haifeng riding his bike out, and said in a deep voice: "Old Xiao, tell me the truth..."
Xiao Haifeng's eyebrows twitched, thinking to himself, does this grandson know that he has destroyed his secret nest?
Just as he thought about it, he heard Qi Guangming whisper, "Did you really not hear the sound of the wooden fish being struck?"
Xiao Haifeng: ...
