Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 320 There is indeed a problem

In the afternoon, Director Zhou from the Foreign Trade Department called Lu Qiaoge to tell her that Zhen Xi and his father had arrived safely at Baiheshan Sanatorium.

They said it would take two days, and they're currently brewing the medicine; we can't be disturbed.

Therefore, Zhen Xi and Chairman Zhen stayed at Baiheshan Sanatorium.

The relevant departments have made all the necessary arrangements.

They lived in another house.

It wasn't far from where Old Master Gu lived, but there were guards in between.

It is said that Chairman Zhen was very satisfied with this arrangement.

Director Zhou and Lu Qiaoge discussed the handicrafts, and both parties agreed that it would not delay the construction period.

Before hanging up, he said to Lu Qiaoge, "When Representative Qin has time, you two can come to my house. Your Aunt Chu has been wanting to meet you and have a meal together."

Director Zhou rarely invites people to his home for meals.

Knowing what was good for her, Lu Qiaoge didn't refuse and said without any hesitation, "When he comes back, I'll ask him when he'll have time."

Director Zhou hung up the phone happily.

Just then, Wei Xia arrived at the subdistrict office.

Seeing that Lu Qiaoge seemed to have found her pillar of support here, her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked over. Then she took out a few pieces of paper from her pocket and handed them to Lu Qiaoge, saying softly, "These are the things I can think of these past few days. Although they are not all, they are almost all."

Lu Qiaoge asked Wei Xia to sit down and rest, while she opened the paper and began to read it quickly.

Halfway through reading, Lu Qiaoge suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

She remembered that in those days, some Dieters liked to set up ambushes in our key border cities and military industrial areas.

They would collect information on the local mountains, rivers, geography, mineral resources, and the distribution of airports and factories, create maps, and send them out.

It is said that the number of Dieters lying in ambush in the Northwest was the largest in the 1950s and 60s.

But Jiangcheng is just as important.

So it's not surprising that Dieter was lying in ambush here.

The question now is, how were the drawings transmitted?

Lu Qiaoge still needs information about Xiao Cangcang.

Xiao Cangcang didn't gain much from her stay at Director Guo's house these past few days.

The Guo family is a very normal family.

Both parents work and have two children. His daily routine consists of going to and from get off work and sometimes buying groceries on the way.

Little Cangcang, along with Rat Da and Rat Er, searched his house thoroughly but found nothing suspicious.

Last night, Lu Qiaoge simply had Xiao Cangcang take the second big rat to Director Guo's office.

I don't know if we can find anything out now.

Lu Qiaoge tried calling out "Little Cangcang" in her heart.

Unexpectedly, just over ten seconds later, Little Cangcang flew over.

Little Cangcang's speed seems to have increased again.

【Little master, little master, I was just about to report to you.】

It and its owner are truly in sync.

Lu Qiaoge: "What did you discover?"

[Rat Big and Rat Two found a very small camera and a roll of film in Director Guo's office.]

【Little master, I also found a notebook with lots of strange numbers written on it, and maps and some weird symbols drawn inside.】

Lu Qiaoge frowned slightly. Sure enough, there was something wrong with this Director Guo.

[Young master, there's a box under the floorboards in Director Guo's office. There's something inside, but we don't know what it is.]

Lu Qiaoge asked Xiao Cangcang in her mind, "Do you remember what the things inside the box looked like? Describe them to me." Xiao Cangcang had an excellent memory.

It squeezed through the crack and then told Lu Qiaoge what it saw.

Lu Qiaoge narrowed her eyes. Why does it look a bit like a telegraph machine from this era?

If it really is a telegraph machine, then Director Guo is incredibly audacious to have hidden such a thing in his office.

But if you think about it carefully, keeping it in the office is actually safer than keeping it at home.

After all, that was Director Guo's office alone.

Lu Qiaoge wasn't too shocked by what Xiao Cangcang discovered.

Because everything he did was inherently strange.

Lu Qiaoge then asked, "Has there been anything unusual about his mood these past few days?"

Xiao Cangcang thought for a moment: [He doesn't talk to himself, but when he's alone, his face is always gloomy.]

Oh, right, little master, there's one more thing. Du Wanqing hasn't gone to see Director Guo these past few days.

Du Wanqing and Jiang Chusheng argued every day because of the disciplinary action she was given.

Lu Qiaoge nodded and told Xiao Cangcang and the others to continue keeping an eye on Director Guo.

He then sent three sparrows to keep an eye on Du Wanqing's house.

The gray pigeons lived not far from Wei Xia's house.

It has been keeping an eye on Wei Xia for the past few days.

The gray pigeon came yesterday and said it didn't find anything strange.

However, the little girl Qiqi told her mother that she wanted to study hard and grow up to be like Sister Lu, helping those in need.

Wei Xia cried at that time.

Lu Qiaoge felt very pleased after hearing this, as she felt she had set a good example for Qiqi.

Moreover, Lu Qiaoge felt that if Wei Xia had such a mind, she wouldn't have been tricked into divorcing Jiang Chusheng.

Lu Qiaoge continued reading and finished it quickly.

As expected, Wei Xia accidentally stumbled upon Director Guo's secret. Although Wei Xia was unaware of it and hadn't discovered it yet, Director Guo felt guilty and worried that Wei Xia would reveal it. However, he didn't want to kill her to silence her, so he devised a plan to fire her. Perhaps he also thought that Wei Xia was nothing special, without any connections, power, or influence, and no one would speak up for her or stand up for her. So, he simply fired her, and she could only swallow this bitter pill.

There were no problems with the dismissal procedure.

Just as Director Guo had predicted, Wei Xia suffered this injustice in silence and lost the will to live.

Lu Qiaoge believed that if Aunt Han hadn't gone to see Director Hu and the neighborhood committee hadn't intervened, Wei Xia would either have gone mad or be gone.

Therefore, Director Guo's methods are very clever.

To kill silently and without making a sound.

Lu Qiaoge and Wei Xia said, "This information of yours is very important. I'll take you to see Director Hu."

By the way, Lu Qiaoge called out to Sister Qiao and Cadre Liu. Shao Le happened to be at the door, so he was invited to come into Director Hu's office as well.

After closing the office door, Wei Xia felt uneasy. She couldn't see anything unusual in this information. Was she too stupid?
Both directors from the subdistrict office were present.

Director Hu glanced at Lu Qiaoge. The little girl was making such a fuss; she must have discovered something very important.

Lu Qiaoge gave the few sheets of paper written by Wei Xia to Director Hu and Deputy Director Huang, and asked them to pass them around and read them.

They didn't need to figure out what was going on themselves, and there wasn't any question-and-answer session.

Lu Qiaoge pointed to the contents of one of the papers and told everyone directly: "Look here, around 3 p.m., Wei Xia took a pair of leather shoes to Director Guo. The soles of these shoes look the same as the others on the outside, but the height of the inner lining is different."

Wei Xia also told him that she could tell from the punched holes that the thickness of the leather on both sides was problematic, as if it had been treated twice. Even if it didn't look like much upon close inspection, she could feel the difference in thickness by touch; one side was 0.8 and the other side was about 0.88. Wei Xia also said that this was the second pair she had found.

Director Guo took the problematic shoes away, saying they were defective leather shoes and that the team leader must have made a mistake. An hour later, he and the team leader collected the shoes, without mentioning any quality issues, and the inspection procedure was the same as usual.

Everyone was looking at Lu Qiaoge, so what does this prove?
