On the sixteenth day, he didn't go to the newspaper office, and the editor-in-chief called him early in the morning to inquire about the situation, and he said to give him a few more days, but the editor-in-chief didn't say anything, just hummed.

It was just after nine o'clock in the morning that he noticed that the Ferrari had not yet left the house and that she was still at home.

At this time, she should have gone out dressed up a long time ago, and she drove out at about half past eight almost every day, and she was out of the column today.

A black elongated Mercedes-Benz drove into the community, and he picked up the camera to take pictures while observing, and saw that it was a Mercedes-Benz sedan with an unfamiliar license plate, which had never appeared in his sight for more than ten days. He silently counted the time, and the camera focused on the courtyard and half of the door in the gap, and sure enough, a slightly chubby man opened the door and walked in.

In the sound of the shutter, he estimated that the photo could not see who it was at all, he had already been prepared, silently reciting the license plate number in his heart, while quickly washing his face and brushing his teeth, he did not leave the room for more than ten days, the room was already messy, full of convenient food garbage he ate and leftovers from making some food, he was an informal person, and he could forget to sleep and eat for work.

Tidying up, getting dressed, picking up the camera, and rushing to the elevator, he didn't want to miss out on this great opportunity because he was slow.

got off the elevator, trotted all the way to the exit of the community directly across the road, a chain café, he came in and went straight to the place that had already been observed, just sat down, there were not many customers in the morning, the waiter came to him, and before the waiter spoke, he said: A cup of Brazilian coffee without sugar.

Then he took out his press card and said: I want to interview a resident of the community here, and by the way, I will also take a few photos of the exterior of the community, so it is best not to disturb me.

The waiter smiled and went, he concentrated on looking at the vehicles coming in and out of the opposite community, the camera was always at the entrance of the community, for fear of missing any vehicles, and he didn't even notice that the waiter brought coffee and put it on the table.

He felt as if time had frozen, so slow that he couldn't feel its flow.

He glanced at his watch, it was almost half past eleven, and when he looked up again, there was a black sedan in the distance in the community, and he couldn't see the model and license plate clearly, and he raised the camera in his hand.

When the car passed the security railing of the community, the speed was extremely slow, and the shutter of the camera was 'clicking' and 'clicking', and more than a dozen photos were taken in a row.

Nervous, he still saw the charming female model of the co-pilot from the camera, at that moment she was smiling and chatting with the driver, he still didn't see the face of the male owner clearly, fortunately, there were photos.

As soon as the car turned and walked away, he slowly relaxed, only to find that the coffee had already cooled, he took a cup and drank the bitter coffee, let the strong smell moisten the dry throat, cleared his throat and said: The waiter checks out!

When he took the enlarged photo and looked at it carefully, he found that the man actually knew him!

It was a vice governor in charge of this populous province, and when he first arrived at the newspaper office, he had done an exclusive interview with a senior reporter, and he had a few face-to-face exchanges, and he couldn't help but gasp, it was actually him, a leading cadre at the provincial and ministerial level.

He has also conjectured the master behind the scenes countless times in his mind: it may be a business tycoon, it may be a rich second generation with strong funds, it may be an official or a foreign businessman, but he is still shocked now, this is a figure that he can't afford to provoke such a little-known reporter, as long as people move their mouths, maybe they lose their jobs, maybe they will have more troubles in their future life paths, besides, with such a little seemingly ambiguous evidence, they want to shake such a high-level leader, unless their brains are in water。

The vice governor has dozens of reasons to make his relationship with the model clear, and he can't afford to investigate senior leading cadres privately.

He pulled the picture aside in frustration, did he want to spy on it next? He was a little undecided, and he had the intention of backing down. He had completely insomnia that night.

When the editor-in-chief called the next day, he was still lying on the bed with his clothes in a daze.

The editor-in-chief called him and told him to come to the newspaper office. He hurriedly dressed himself and ran to the newspaper.

When I entered the editor-in-chief's office, the editor-in-chief said that I came to you today to let you finish the things at hand, and prepare to go to the development zone in three days to do a field investigation, and then asked you how is the progress there?

After listening to the editor-in-chief's words, he didn't react, and the editor-in-chief noticed his abnormality and said that things were not going well?

He said blankly: it didn't go well, the task was not completed.

The editor-in-chief said: No, this is not how you should behave. What's going on?

Although he has been in the newspaper for less than a year, he still knows his top boss well, including the evaluation of other colleagues, knowing that the editor-in-chief is a veteran graduate of Peking University, who is quick and upright, and is very disgusted with the ugly phenomena in society, and even more disgusted with corruption.

However, he decided to tell the editor-in-chief the news, and by the way, ask the editor-in-chief to help with ideas.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the editor-in-chief took out a stack of photos from his briefcase, took them suspiciously, and looked at them one by one, until he saw the last few photos, and looked at them several times before saying: It's actually him?

The editor-in-chief was silent at first, and then took the case: the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked!

Seeing that the editor-in-chief was angry, he only said everything he had done, but he didn't mention the matter of his uncle's writing, he was afraid that the editor-in-chief would not be able to understand such a magical thing for a while, and it was incredible.

He underestimated the editor-in-chief's ability to analyze and judge, and the first thing the editor-in-chief said after listening to his report was: How could you have thought that this high-end community would have such an important clue? You are willing to use most of your savings to rent a house for investigation? You are not telling the truth.

He originally wanted to find an excuse to round his lie, but seeing that the editor-in-chief was so straightforward, he had to awkwardly tell the origin of his relationship with his uncle, and the editor-in-chief also listened carefully with his eyes open: Is it your personal experience?

He replied very seriously: Every sentence is true, every word is true!

The editor-in-chief thought seriously for a while and said: Let's put the matter of Xiaosi first, and you will take me to see the true face of Lushan when you have the opportunity in the future. Now the main energy is to continue to do this matter, if this matter really involves this high-level executive, I am afraid that it will set off a strong earthquake and turbulent waves in our provincial officialdom. What are you going to do next?

He shook his head feebly. The editor-in-chief said: Scared? Hmph, I really misread you.

The editor-in-chief's face at this time was serious and solemn and said: You don't even have this sense of justice, and you are worthy of being a reporter, and you have forgotten the most basic quality of being a reporter to uphold justice.

He was embarrassed by what he said, and he stood up excitedly and said: I am not a coward!

The editor-in-chief still has a serious face: hesitation and retreat are our taboos, don't be afraid, I really don't believe that he can cover the sky with one hand, the world is still the people's world. I have an idea here, let's discuss it.

The editor-in-chief's encouragement and willingness to lower his posture gave him great confidence, and he sat down again.

The two talked for more than an hour, and finally the editor-in-chief said: By the way, tomorrow I will bring you the procedures for renting a house, and I will sign for reimbursement in the agency.

After a period of overt and covert investigations, I gradually grasped some marginal clues.

On this day, the two of them discussed the next step in the editor-in-chief's office, and the editor-in-chief got straight to the point: I have read the materials you have collated, there are facts and evidence, but the evidence is not sufficient, I think it is enough, when do you plan to send it to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection?

He said categorically: I don't want to revise it anymore, and this afternoon I will send my real name to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection by express mail.

Editor-in-Chief: Okay, I also told my classmates who work in party journals and state journals about this some time ago, and they said that they would also pay attention to this matter and communicate with relevant leaders if necessary. I won't take the credit from you, I will definitely bear the difficulties with you, young people are good!

Within a month of the materials being sent, a staff member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection secretly came to him and conducted a long interview in detail, knowing that his efforts had paid off.

The editor-in-chief knew that he was invited to his home for a drink on the weekend to congratulate, and the two chatted until three o'clock in the evening, and he finally said emotionally through the stimulation of alcohol: Can I take a few days off from work, I want to go and see that kind person.

The editor-in-chief blushed: Go ahead, give you a week! When I'm free, take me to greet this legendary family.

Our family was fascinated by what we listened to, and we were deeply affected by the fascinating description and his wit and strength.

The college student reporter saw that we were all concentrated, smiled and touched my stomach and said to my grandmother: "Auntie, I slept for a while today, and when I got up, I bought a ticket and ran here." After a day of tossing, my stomach was already 'growling'. ”

Grandma suddenly realized and said to him: "The meal is ready, let's start the meal immediately, it's still the same sentence, just don't dislike it!"

The college student reporter stayed at home for three days, played with my uncle and several children for three days, and also tutored the three of us in our homework during this time, encouraging us to be admitted to university in the future.

When he left, he said to his grandparents: "Uncle and aunt, I will also go back to see my parents, I haven't been back for a long time, I will take the opportunity to visit you, I will also slip away, and I will come again in the future." ”

It was Katsuko's driver who sent away the college student reporter.
