Chapter 13: The Patriarch

The three of them were ready to set off, and when they went downstairs, Tang Hongye took the lead in the front, Tang Li and He Ning walked behind, and when they were halfway down the stairs, Tang Li's pace slowed down, and He Ning thought that he remembered something, or forgot something, so he also slowed down the pace.

"Are you alright?" Tonic suddenly asked He Ning.

He Ning was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he slowed down his march, in fact, to confirm his situation, although Tang Hongye is also a colleague, but after all, he usually doesn't deal with him very much, so in front of him, He Ning is still more concerned about face, so when communicating with Yang Cheng in front of Tang Hongye, He Ning has already covered up his emotions to the greatest extent, making herself look as if she doesn't take this matter as a burden, she thought she was covering it up very well, but she didn't expect Tang Li to see it。

"It's okay, don't worry. She nodded to Tang Li, "Team Yang gave me such a chance to prove myself, I don't take advantage of it, and I am stupid to sulk, that is to be stupid." ”

Tang Li didn't say anything, he also nodded to He Ning, and continued to walk forward without saying a word, and walked a few steps before turning back to her and saying, "You can do it, no problem." ”

"What are you two muttering, let's go!" Tang Hongye walked to the gate, and when he turned around and saw that the two of them were still on the stairs, he opened his mouth a little anxiously and urged.

Tang Li and He Ning sped up, went down the stairs and went to the compound with Tang Hongye to get into the car, and drove straight to Zhuang Wenbin's work unit. Tang Hongye is not a particularly careful person outside of work, so from beginning to end, he didn't find out that He Ning was affected by any emotions because of Xu Jing's incident, and there were talking and laughing along the way, which also made He Ning's originally tense mood relax a little, Tonic usually talks very little, and this time it is extremely rare to cooperate with Tang Hongye, and from time to time he picks up two sentences, although there are still not many words, but it is enough to surprise Tang Hongye.

"I said, Tonic Power, is there any happy event? Why do I think you seem to be in a particularly good mood today?" Tang Hongye looked at Tonic with some suspicion, "Oh, by the way, someone will bring you dumplings early in the morning! I have heard, there is a beautiful girl in our team this morning? Is it looking for you? You don't say yes? He Ning, you are the most honest, tell me a letter, is that person coming to him?"

"Then I don't know," He Ning adjusted his emotions and joked with Tang Hongye, "I remember that little girl said as soon as she entered the door that she was looking for 'Brother Tonic Li'!"

"Oh my God, Lao Tang, Lao Tang, I didn't see it, you, a loyal and honest guy with few words, actually secretly hid a 'Sister Lin'? Hurry up and explain, what's the situation?" As soon as Tang Hongye heard this, how could he easily let go of such a gossip, the police themselves are a type of work that flourishes and declines, coupled with long working hours, irregular rest times, and a certain percentage of risks, the salary is just ordinary, many girls are reluctant to find a boyfriend who is a policeman, let alone get married and start a family, so at least half of the young men in the bureau have remained single for a long time, and occasionally I hear that whoever finds a girlfriend, even if there is a little sign of it, will be interrogated and ridiculed by the people around them。 Tonic is usually the quietest, but now a beautiful girl with a mouth called "brother" suddenly appeared next to him, and she also sent something to eat, this is big news, Tang Hongye can't wait to dig out some insider information immediately.

Tang Li looked at them a little helplessly and sighed: "It's just an old neighbor." ”

"Yo, then your popularity is good enough! Why didn't my old neighbor say that he would send me dumplings early in the morning?" Tang Hongye didn't buy it at all, "Hurry up and explain honestly, I don't believe your statement!"

"It doesn't matter," Tonic replied lightly, "I don't believe it." ”

Tang Hongye was choked by him for a while, and he didn't know how to continue this topic, so he could only look at He Ning sadly, and said to He Ning: "Look at this guy Tonic Li! It's really easy to suffocate yourself to death when you talk to him! He Ning, you help me keep an eye on it, what kind of lace news, peachy episode, tell me as soon as possible! Tonic Li, from now on, I will have eyeliner next to you! Whether it is frank and lenient or resisting strictness, you can see and do it yourself!"

"Look at you smart person! You have to tell the person by name and surname to install eyeliner, if it were me, I wouldn't let you know anything!" He Ning hit Tang Hongye mercilessly.

Tang Hongye didn't think it was wrong, laughed, and finally let Tang Li go for the time being.

Zhuang Wenbin was working in a certain government unit in City A, and when the three of them came there, it was already past work time, so the door was still relatively deserted, so they and the doorman did a good job of entering and exiting the registration, drove the car into the parking lot, and inquired in the office building, and learned that Zhuang Wenbin was a staff member of a certain department of the unit, and his position was that of a chief clerk.

"I'm forty-eight years old, and I'm still a chief clerk, with section-level treatment," when he went upstairs, Tang Hongye lowered his voice and muttered to He Ning and Tang Li, "It seems that this person is not very good! My classmates who work in government agencies and units have all been rated as deputy sections, but if they have some work ability and are down-to-earth, they will not retire in more than ten years, and they will not even become a section chief, right? And most importantly, didn't you say that his wife told you that Zhuang Wenbin was a middle-level cadre in the unit? How did you become a chief clerk?"

"Xu Jing can lie about whether her husband is out of tolerance, and there is nothing strange about giving her husband a gold sticker in this matter. Because Xu Jing has a previous record of lying, she doesn't have a particularly good reputation here with Hening, and because of this, no matter what lies Xu Jing finds out after that, she doesn't feel anything surprising.

Tang Hongye thought about it, and felt that it was also such a reason, following He Ning's line of thought, he suddenly thought of another thing: "You said that Xu Jing lied in Zhuang Wenbin's position in order to put gold on her husband's face, so did she go on an errand in Zhuang Wenbin, or did she take annual leave and didn't know where she ran away and didn't tell the truth about lying to her family, do you know what shame Zhuang Wenbin has outside?"

"It's possible, let's go back and check it from this angle. When Xu Jing was in the bureau today, she desperately stopped Tang Li from calling here to inquire about the situation, I think Bacheng is afraid that we will hear something from outsiders. He Ning had the same guess in his heart.

When answering Tang Hongye like this, He Ning probably didn't expect that the answer to this matter would appear in front of them so quickly. The three of them went upstairs to find the department where Zhuang Wenbin worked before his death, knocked on the hidden office door, and a woman's voice in the room responded: "Please come in." ”

Three people pushed the door into the house, the office area is not small, there are six desks in two or two opposite each other, there are two sets of single sofas and a small coffee table at the door, there is a faint smell of smoke in the office, behind one of the desks sits a female staff member in her early thirties, is crackling on the keyboard in front of the computer, seems to be writing a manuscript or something, heard the sound of opening the door, knew that people came in, so he looked up, and saw that there were actually three strangers who came in, and he was stunned for a moment, and asked:" Who are you looking for?"

Tang Li took out his documents, walked over to show the other party, and then asked, "Is Zhuang Wenbin here?"

"Zhuang Wenbin?" The female staff was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting the police to come to the door, and the expression on her face suddenly became richer, "Yes, you are looking for him? He hasn't been here for many days." What's the matter with him? Has he been to his house? Isn't it...... Is there something wrong?"

"He may be related to a case we are investigating, you are his colleague, right? Can you please cooperate with our investigation?" He Ning was afraid that the other party would have the idea that "the dead are the greatest", and he would only say some words on the scene with some reservations, so he deliberately did not make the specific situation of the case clear, "What do you call it?"

"My surname is Zhai," the female staff member said as she stood up, "My name is Zhai Xiaomei." ”

When she got up, she walked straight to the door of the office, locked it, and then came back again, smiled at them, and said to them, "Sit down, don't stand and talk, it's tiring." What's wrong with Zhuang Wenbin? I've not worked with him for a long time, it's only four or five years, and there is no problem in assisting you in your investigation, but don't tell anyone what I said and then tell others!"

"Rest assured, we can guarantee that. He Ning could ignore the question Zhai Xiaomei asked just now, after all, the initiative to ask questions still needs to be in their hands, "How is Zhuang Wenbin's usual work performance?

"That's it, everyone is an adult, and when they come out to work, it's pretty good on the surface, isn't it, but where can they get pregnant if they're bad? Zhai Xiaomei smiled and said with a little sarcasm, "Zhuang Wenbin is the veteran of our department, like a living fossil, and he welcomes the new and sends the old, our section chief does not have the same number of years as he has been in the unit, so Zhuang Wenbin usually has the temperament of a senior, and ordinary people can't move him, 'There is an old man in the family who has a treasure', so he is basically more idle at work, and we don't expect him to share many specific things for us."
