When Ding Chi took a taxi to the post and telecommunications office, it was not half past eight, but Zheng Ju had just arrived.

motioned for Ding Chi to sit down across from him, and then Zheng Ju asked, "What's wrong?"

Ding Chi sighed and said slowly: "It's really strange, strange things are one after another, the ditch behind the house flooded again this morning, but fortunately it didn't pour into the house." ”

Zheng Ju said "oh": "The ditch is flooded, is there anything abnormal?"

"Abnormal, indeed abnormal. This morning......" Ding Chi briefly talked about the process, focusing on his doubts, including the complaints of several people from the water company.

After a little hesitation, Zheng Ju said: "Judging from your analysis, someone did it on purpose, what is his purpose?"

"As long as the water enters the house, whether it is equipment, facilities or data paper, it will be difficult to escape. If the situation is serious, it will even be wasted, and at least it will have to lose hundreds of thousands, or even millions. After a pause, Ding Chi further explained, "In addition to the ditch just mentioned, it also includes the rat hole in the ditch. ”

"Rat hole?" Zheng Ju was obviously unclear.

Ding Chi nodded: "Yes, rat hole." After clearing the stagnant water and silt today, I went to the bottom of the ditch to check again and found that there was a problem with the rat holes. Most of the normal mouse holes are flat and smooth on all sides, because the rats often come and go and rub against each other, especially the female mice. But the rat holes I saw in the morning were all very round, and they were clearly processed with core drilling equipment, which was obviously deliberate. ”

Fortunately, since they arrived there, Xue Gong and his team have done inspections and dealt with some hidden dangers, including plugging rat holes. It was only because of the fact that the rats kept burrowing and burrowing, so they did not plug it outside, but stuffed hard stones from the house and smoothed it with cement grouting. Especially after the last fire, it has been investigated, and these places have also been reinforced and re-erased. ”

"The people who process the rat hole should not have thought of this layer, and may also be worried that the movement is too big, so they only processed the outer mouth, and saw that the rat hole was very deep, so they thought that the rat hole was unimpeded. These people are really hateful, delusional and unaware, trying to design as naturally as possible, but they also leave loopholes. ”

Speaking of this, Ding Chi took out his camera, flipped it a few times, and handed it over: "This is a photo I took, you can take a look." ”

After seeing the photos of the processed rats, Zheng Ju nodded: "It's a little weird, is there anything else?"

Ding Chi was very puzzled, but still replied: "Yes, the fire last time was not normal. On the night of the fire, I went to the hospital to answer the phone, and I happened to see that the fire had just started, and the fire was extinguished in a short time, so the damage did not expand. In fact, before seeing the flames, I also saw two men in black, and those two people left near the fire point, which is very suspicious. Also, there was a big smell of gasoline on site, which we never did. ”

"Then why didn't you say it then?" Zheng Ju immediately asked rhetorically.

Ding Chi smiled bitterly: "I didn't think much about the first fire at that time, and it was quite dark, so I didn't really see it." Although the smell of gasoline is not small, it is not clear when mixed with the smell of smoke. When you go the next day and say that the security department has concluded that the wires are short-circuited, I think that I may have seen poorly, and my sense of smell is not very accurate. Most of the personnel of the security department of the bureau are veterans, and many of them have reconnaissance experience during their time as soldiers.

"By the way, there's one more detail. Even at the moment of the fire, the tap water faucet in the yard couldn't be twisted, but in fact, the water was connected during the day. When I repaired it afterwards, I realized that it was deadly buckled, and I thought it was improper use, so I ignored this. ”

"But the combination of several items, coupled with this strange running water, I don't think it's just accidental. Whether it is using fire or water, it is concentrated on one point, that is, destroying data and equipment, and making the entire research and development fail. ”

Zheng Ju smiled slightly: "Xiao Ding, you are not very old, but you can really hide things." ”

"No, no, it's only today that I think of it. Ding Chi hurriedly did not do it, and then added, "There was one more thing before, that is, someone went to dig Xue Ziyan, and the conditions given were very generous. Although I didn't say anything specific, it should be a similar product, and Xue Ziyan thought so. ”

"If you want to say that, then the problem is complicated, and the suspicion is wide. Zheng Ju obviously had something to say.

Ding Chi immediately picked up the conversation: "The scope of suspicion is very large, but it seems that there are many possibilities of ghosts." For example, if we didn't know about water and fire in advance, it would be impossible to find the No. 4 and No. 5 warehouses exactly, and it would be impossible to accurately lead the water there. The previous place was a tertiary production company under the bureau, how did the person who dug Xue Ziyan find it? Of course, it may be a stalker, but it seems that someone is more likely to ventilate. ”

"To be honest, Xue Ziyan and others are very suspicious, but with my understanding, including some later investigations, their suspicion can basically be ruled out. Of course, although you and I, including Yang, also know that place, we have no motive for sabotage, and we must also rule it out. ”

"Good boy, you don't miss a drop of water. According to what you say, it can only be ......" Halfway through the words, Zheng Ju changed the topic, "Although your analysis is very reasonable, after all, it is just reasoning, or even speculation. ”

"Then you can ask the police to intervene in the investigation, they must be professional. Ding Chi put forward his opinion.

Zheng Ju immediately vetoed it: "Our project is confidential, and it is not suitable for outsiders to enter frequently, especially if the police conduct an in-depth investigation." ”

Although he felt that the other party's reasons were inevitably far-fetched, Ding Chi did not chase deeply, but kicked the ball over again: "Zheng Ju, we people only know how to engage in research and development, and we don't have the experience and strength to deal with bandits at all, and we don't have time at all." But now is the critical moment, if there is any accident there, but the previous efforts will be lost, we cannot afford this kind of responsibility, and we are really wronged. ”

"Since the police are not suitable, the security of the bureau can always be, and they have been there anyway. Anyway, most of the houses in the vicinity are vacant, and it will not affect the privacy of others. That's small money for the whole project. ”

Zheng Ju played an official tone: "Xiao Ding, strengthening security and monitoring is indeed a way, but there are also drawbacks, you should be able to figure it out." Especially now is a critical moment, the fewer people outside R&D go, the better, in fact, you still have special approval. That's it, I'll let Lao Yang follow up and see the situation, okay?"

Hearing the other party's prevarication, although Ding Chi felt suspicious, he had no choice but to say hello and leave the post and telecommunications office in a daze.
