Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Liu Haizhong was in a very bad mood. He had finally gotten the confirmed news that Director Li was going to recommend him as deputy director. Otherwise, how could he have stayed in the warehouse all night and waited for the final handover?

But he never expected this to be the outcome. How could this be justified? Was it not his destiny to be an official? It was so unfair!
All he had been pursuing in his life was a small official position. Why was the road to pursuing his dream so tortuous? He finally encountered such an opportunity, why did it suddenly disappear? Damn God's will!
He had already determined that the disappearance of the items in the two warehouses was a supernatural event, but he couldn't say it out loud. Not only him, but even the head of the security department didn't dare to say it easily. It was really terrible.
However, it is undeniable that their overall psychological definition is the work of gods, otherwise, there is no way to explain this unscientific event!
Mr. Song acted very quickly. He returned to the Ministry of Metallurgy to report to the leadership and received approval. The investigation team moved into the steel rolling mill that same day and immediately began an investigation!

"Comrade Liu Haizhong, please truthfully report your itinerary from yesterday to now, who you have come into contact with, what you have done, and who the witnesses are!"

"Reporting to the leader, I have been at the steel mill since yesterday. In the morning, I organized a study session with the picket team. In the afternoon, I accompanied Comrade He Yuzhu, deputy director of the logistics department, to inspect the warehouse and implement the daily system.

At night, I was on duty at the warehouse with the security chief. I never slept and never left until the receiving team arrived. Please let the leaders know!"

Liu Haizhong felt very aggrieved, and he inevitably expressed his grievance when reporting. The investigation team could naturally sense this, but the investigation had to continue;

The leader of the investigation team belongs to Mr. Song, while the deputy leader belongs to the senior leader. The result will depend on the negotiation and compromise between the two leaders.
It is undeniable that Liu Haizhong and security chief Liu Hailong are the first responsible persons and may also be the final scapegoats. There is already a consensus within the investigation team. Who can blame them for having no one behind them?
"Comrade Liu Haizhong, you only need to report your whereabouts. The investigation is not something you should consider. Do you understand?"

"Yes, understand!"

"Well, you can go out now, let Chief Liu in!"

"Yes!"

Liu Haizhong was in a very heavy mood. From the attitude of the investigation team, he could tell that something was wrong this time.
According to the security chief, they are likely to be scapegoats. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that it is almost certain.

The investigation team acted impartially and the situation was not optimistic. Now we could only hope that Li Huaide would protect him in consideration of his hard work and contributions. After all, Director Li had a strong background.

"Chief Liu, please truthfully report your itinerary from yesterday to now, who you have come into contact with, what you have done, and who the witnesses are. Do you understand?"

Compared to Liu Haizhong, the investigation team had a much better attitude towards the security chief. No matter what the result was, they still had no right to deal with it.
The decision on how to deal with this person still needs to be studied by the public security department. Of course, the head of the security department of the steel rolling mill can no longer work. If he can land safely, he may be needed in the future, so they left enough room at the beginning!
Section Chief Liu knew the whole situation, but he still had to answer the Ministry of Metallurgy’s questions truthfully, as the final characterization was not in his control!

The investigation team looked at each other in bewilderment. The two men definitely did not collude with each other, but their answers were the same, that is, the things really disappeared out of thin air!
Next, the investigation team questioned all the personnel involved in the guard mission, and the answers were the same: nothing unusual happened that night, not even a loud noise, and the warehouse was empty the next day!

Everything in two large warehouses just disappeared out of thin air without using any equipment or personnel. One or two people might still have doubts, but everyone answered in the same way and even signed a letter of responsibility. I believe that even materialism cannot explain it!
At this time, He Yuzhu was playing chess with Wang Dana. Since his retirement, he has been fascinated by chess. This is nothing, just a hobby;
However, no one knew where this bad chess player learned this from. The key point was that he habitually regretted his moves, which made He Yuzhu very helpless. His little expression made Cai Qiuyue and his master's wife laugh.

Suddenly, laughter and children playing sounds floated over the courtyard like a symphony of joy and harmony. Unfortunately, the scene was soon broken!
"Director He, the factory needs your cooperation on something. Please..."

Two people from the security department came uninvited, adding a lot of solemnity to the harmonious courtyard!

"Got it, let's go!"

He Yuzhu stood up expressionlessly, gave Qiuyue a reassuring look, and followed him out!
"Brother, what's the matter?"

"Director He, something big has happened. You should go and take a look. Sigh..." "Something big? Is it related to me?"

"It's not related. The investigation team from above has come and asked you to come over for questioning!"

"Got it!"

How could He Yuzhu not know what was going on in the factory? It must be something about the warehouse!
"Comrade Liu Haizhong, please truthfully report what you saw and heard during yesterday's inspection and cooperate with the investigation!"

As soon as He Yuzhu sat down, the investigation team started talking. The people asking questions had no expression on their faces. People who didn’t know would have thought that He Yuzhu was the key subject of investigation!

"Yesterday afternoon, I went to ask for leave from the director and received instructions to implement the daily inspection system. Afterwards, I took the security chief, the patrol captain, and the warehouse manager to inspect the warehouse!"

"What's the situation with warehouses 7 and 8?"

"The two warehouses were filled with junk. Since they were not supplies from the logistics department, I only checked the security facilities and left the rest out of the inspection!"

"tattered?"

"That's right, all of them are jars, old calligraphy and paintings and so on!"

"Okay, you can go now!"

He Yuzhu did not participate in any activities from beginning to end, he just checked the database. They were just making routine inquiries to verify the answers of their predecessors!

“Team leader, the results of the investigation are out. It can be confirmed that everyone’s answers are true. After verification by several parties, it was found that there is no problem;
But, the disappearance of things cannot be explained, it seems to have disappeared out of thin air, you see. . . ”

"Deputy Team Leader, what do you think?"

"Team leader, report the truth!"

The deputy team leader had no choice but to hand in the investigation results. How to deal with it in the end still depended on the leader's opinion. It was out of their control.

Because it cannot be explained scientifically, we cannot easily draw a conclusion. Perhaps even the leaders of the Ministry of Metallurgy cannot draw a conclusion!
"Ah... just report the truth!"

The investigation team was busy for a whole day and finally left. They only asked to seal off the warehouse and wait for notification. The whole thing seemed confusing and unpredictable!
At this time, the fact that the materials in the two warehouses disappeared out of thin air was still kept strictly confidential. The workers of the steel mill knew that the superiors had sent an investigation team, but no one knew what the investigation was about. They only knew that many people were questioned, including the deputy director of logistics, He Yuzhu! (End of this chapter)
