I opened the drawer and took out her small wallet. All the tickets and money were there, not a single one was missing. Even the way they were stacked had not changed. It was obvious that she had put them there and no one had touched them.
She checked the closet and desk to make sure nothing was missing, then checked the bed.
After searching around, she shook her head at the people standing at the door and said, "Nothing is missing from the room, and nothing is extra either."
"That's weird." Mr. Zhou touched his chin and muttered, "Those two college students sneaked in when no one was in the room. They didn't really come here to drink a sip of water, did they?"
Fu Qingshan also walked in and looked around, then his eyes fell on the wastebasket beside the table.
He turned around and asked Qiao Xinyi, "Did you take out the trash when you opened the door this morning?"
"No." Qiao Xinyi shook her head. "The trash can isn't full. There are just some scraps of paper I wrote and drew before going to bed last night that I discarded...that's all."
The two words were so soft that the three people around Qiao Xinyi couldn't hear them.
But Qiao Xinyi had already realized what was missing from the room.
"They took away the discarded draft paper I threw into the trash can." Qiao Xinyi frowned.
Now Secretary Zhang and his colleagues realized the seriousness of the matter.
"I have been studying crystal technology with several professors at the research institute during the day. When I come back at night, I will draw the design of the robotic arm before going to bed."
Qiao Xinyi said, "I never let anyone come in to clean my room. Yun Xia cleaned it herself before, and after Yun Xia moved next door, Fu Qingshan cleaned it."
"Sometimes when I'm drawing, I'll look through the discarded drafts, so Fu Qingshan and I agreed that when the wastebasket is full, we'll take it to the research institute to shred it."
Qiao Xinyi frowned, "I took him out once when I went out yesterday morning, so there are only a few drafts in the trash can that I discarded last night."
But she had never expected that someone would be so bold as to ask the front desk for a spare key to open the door and enter her room.
Secretary Zhang rubbed his eyebrows and looked outside, "Why hasn't Yun Gong come back yet?"
"I'll go take a look." Mr. Zhou ran away.
But just as he ran to the corridor, he saw Yun Gong running towards him, panting.
"What's going on? Why are you alone? Where is Wu Liang?" Engineer Zhou grabbed Engineer Yun who was almost unable to stand.
"It's over. Wu Liang left a suicide note and committed suicide." Yun Gong said, "Luckily, Comrade Yu and I got there in time. If we were a little later, he would have bled out. We have arranged people and a car to take him to the nearest hospital, and Comrade Yu also went there in person."
"Committing suicide out of fear of punishment?" Mr. Zhou was shocked.
"Committing suicide out of fear of punishment?" Yun Gong chuckled, "This guy has gone crazy from reading so much. He thinks he is sacrificing his life for his country!"
Yun Gong held the envelope in his hand and said, "This is the suicide note he left behind."
Mr. Zhou quickly took it and opened it. There was only a short line of words.
——If there is always someone who uses sacrifice to awaken the dormant justice, then I am willing to be the person who dedicates myself.
"What bullshit? What righteousness?" For the first time, Mr. Zhou suspected that he was blind. Did he not take chemistry classes seriously in school? Why couldn't he understand the suicide note left by Wu Liang?
The two of them went back to find Secretary Zhang while cursing at each other.
Yun Gong handed the suicide note to Secretary Zhang and told him that he went to Wu Liang's room and found Wu Liang cutting his wrists. Then he asked Qiao Xinyi, "Did you find anything here?"
"The discarded draft that Comrade Qiao Xinyi threw into the trash can was taken away." Secretary Zhang glanced at Wu Liang's suicide note and cursed him.
This was the first time that Qiao Xinyi, who had known Secretary Zhang for so long, had cursed at someone like this, this elegant comrade.
"Bring all the photos of the volunteers to Xiao Ye to identify them. Let her see who the university volunteers who came with Wu Liang are."
Secretary Zhang stuffed Wu Liang's suicide note back into the envelope with disdain, and then said to Qiao Xinyi, "It's getting late, you guys go eat first, and then do whatever you need to do."
Secretary Zhang said, "I remember that you were planning to take your family to the aircraft exhibition to see airplanes after dinner tonight? You go ahead and do your thing. I will personally monitor the affairs here. When you come back, I will personally tell you if there is any new progress. I will also arrange a new room for you."
Secretary Zhang said, "They took the spare key. The room you were originally staying in is no longer safe."
"Okay, thank you Secretary Zhang." Fu Qingshan nodded. "My wife and I will pack our things first. The room will be arranged soon. We will come back to change rooms after dinner."
Secretary Zhang waved his hand and asked the two to go eat first. Qiao Xinyi was pregnant and couldn't stand being hungry.
However, Secretary Zhang was also glad about what happened today. Fortunately, the organization sent Fu Qingshan to protect Qiao Xinyi personally. Otherwise, most people would never be careful enough to put a mark on the kettle.
After Wu Liang's incident, Fu Qingshan paid more attention to the food that went into Qiao Xinyi's mouth.
The water that Qiao Xinyi drank must have been fetched from the tap by him personally, and he personally watched it boil before putting it into the kettle that he had cleaned himself.
Even the water cup is washed after each use, before and after use.
He must have personally served the food and dishes that Qiao Xinyi ate, and he also told the other two comrades and Yun Xia how to ensure that the food Qiao Xinyi ate was safe when he was not around.
This ordeal frightened both Chen Yubing and Fu Bailu.
"Or let's go home. This place in Beijing is too scary." Even someone as open-minded as Fu Bailu wanted to back out. She held Qiao Xinyi's hand and refused to let go.
"It's okay. Secretary Zhang and the others have arranged people to protect me closely." Qiao Xinyi comforted the two elders.
"Sister Xinyi, I will follow you from tomorrow." Qiao Yunsong said, "Although I don't know many words, my eyes are very sharp. I can tell whether someone is a good person or a bad person at a glance. I will never let any bad person get close to you. I will carry the water you drink and the food you eat myself and never let others touch them."
"No, I'm at the research institute during the day. The institute is safe and outsiders can't get in." Qiao Xinyi said, "Your brother-in-law has also told the two comrades who are protecting me that starting tomorrow, they will personally monitor the things I import."
After comforting everyone, Qiao Xinyi asked everyone to get in the car and go to the aircraft exhibition together.
The joy of flying straight into the sky finally diluted the worries we had along the way.
The two children and Qiao Yunbai were almost going crazy with joy.
Fu Qingshan brought a camera with him. Qiao Xinyi asked the comrades here to turn on the brightest lights in the venue. The whole family took turns taking photos with the three planes, and then a family photo was taken.
"I still remember when Xinyi came to Beijing to buy a house, she said that she would bring me to Beijing one day in the future. I didn't expect that day to come so soon, and I didn't expect that I would touch a helicopter."
Chen Yubing's eyes were red with excitement. "Compared with the happiness I have now, the hardships I suffered in the first half of my life are suddenly not worth mentioning."
