Chapter Ninety-Eight: Opening the Safe
Jia Rupeng Construction & Decoration Company has leased an entire floor of the 12th floor of the office building, and the finance department is located in the northeast corner, a spacious and independent office area.
After the fire, the office area was in shambles, and the cleaning staff cleaned up the scene under the guidance of a middle-aged man in his forties.
Anything that can be thrown away, and what needs to be kept, has to be seen by this person.
Employees call him Manager Wei, and it seems that this is the financial manager.
Officer Cao stepped forward to explain his intentions, hoping to talk about the situation before and after the fire, and by the way, assess the damage caused by the fire.
Manager Wei listened to Officer Cao's inquiry, his eyes flashed helplessly, and he smiled bitterly: "The loss is not easy to estimate, it is basically ruined......"
As he spoke, he stepped on the ashes and walked to a black, heavily carbonized roll cabinet.
"You see, this is the cabinet we have on file, and it'......s been burned," he said, pulling open the broken wooden door of the roll-up cabinet.
After being swallowed by tongues of fire, the whole body of the No cabinet was carbonized and became crumbling, and it originally stored the accounts of the cost of the book.
Now the ashes of the burned paper of the accounts were violently lifted and scattered with the action of him pulling the door.
"Ahem......" Manager Wei choked on the ashes and coughed violently, covering his nose with one hand, and fanning his eyes with the other hand, driving away the flying ashes.
It's okay if he doesn't fan, but this fan rolls up more ashes and falls on his head and clothes, all over the place.
He got up angrily and took a few steps back before he got rid of it.
He patted his hair lightly, shaking off the damn ashes while looking at Officer Cao helplessly.
There are no eggs under the nest, and the ledger is completely destroyed. Officer Cao frowned and looked at Manager Wei's embarrassed appearance, fixed his gaze on the unrecognizable roll cabinet, and asked:
"In other words, the ledger is ruined, is there any loss in other aspects?"
"It is estimated that the computer has also been damaged to varying degrees, and I don't know how much the electronic accounts can be restored. This requires further testing by the NMS. Manager Wei said with a sad face.
Officer Cao scanned the office and finally refocused his gaze on Manager Wei: "You can't keep all the accounts together, right?" Isn't there a distinction between the past years and the current year? ”
"This is the accounts of the past years, the accounts of the current year, and the company's qualifications are all in that cabinet." Manager Wei said and pointed into the suite.
Officer Cao looked in the direction he was pointing, and there was an iron cabinet in the suite, and through the glass of the cabinet door, you could see the ledgers neatly stacked. Some of them have been bound into books, and some have not yet had time to bind.
Oh? Was the burning of the calendar books unintentional or deliberate?
The juanxiu font that Wang Lili signed on the accounting voucher flashed in Officer Cao's mind.
"You have a part-time accountant named Wang Lili, right? What kind of accounts is she responsible for? Officer Cao's gaze became uncertain, as if he was thinking about something.
"Wang Lili? No," Manager Wei looked at Officer Cao in confusion.
"Huh?" Officer Cao stared at his face for a while, and then said, "It's okay, just ask." ”
Just ask? Manager Wei looked at Officer Cao and found that Officer Cao's eyes had been aimed at the camera in the corner of the roof of the office area.
"Is there surveillance? Tune in the surveillance footage to show me. ”
"This camera has been broken for a long time, and I haven't sent anyone to repair it after it has been repaired." Manager Wei looked at Officer Cao's gaze, and then said slightly apologetically.
"What about the other cameras? There's always a working camera on this floor. Officer Cao's face was grim.
"Only the camera at the door is on, mainly because I am afraid that employees will skip shifts and desert after punching in, etc., the personnel department will enable it, and some of the rest of the cameras are broken, and some are not open."
Officer Cao turned around and explained a few words to Xiao Liu and Xiao Li, asking them to copy the camera image, and the two nodded and turned to leave.
"How did the fire start? Are there any suspicious people in and out of the finance department. Officer Cao asked routinely.
Manager Wei: "At noon, we all went to the cafeteria to eat, I don't know how to burn it, and I didn't see any suspicious people before going to lunch." ”
Officer Cao sighed, not expecting anything to come out of him.
What he was thinking about in his heart was not this matter: it seemed that this Manager Wei really didn't know Wang Lili, and when he mentioned Wang Lili's name, Manager Wei's stunned and puzzled expression didn't look like he was pretending.
Officer Cao looked at the busy financial staff in the office area, there were at least seven or eight, why did he have to find a part-time job to keep accounts?
If Manager Wei doesn't know Wang Lili, who is in charge of Wang Lili? To whom are the accounts presented?
When Officer Cao turned around to leave, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where is the safe for finance?" ”
"Safe ......" Manager Wei was stunned, pointed to the suite inside, and asked puzzledly: "What's wrong with the safe?" ”
"Do you have the key? Open it," Officer Cao said unquestioningly.
Open a safe? Manager Wei's eyes drifted to a female employee, who heard the police talk about the safe, stopped what she was doing, and looked over.
Manager Wei beckoned to her: "Xiao Zhang, bring the key to the safe." ”
The girl hurriedly rummaged through the messy desk drawer, rummaging for something. The leader shouted urgently, and as soon as she used her strength, the drawer fell apart.
There's no way, the ones that were burned by the fire are scattered, how can you afford to drag them like this.
Xiao Zhang awkwardly picked up a string of pitch-black keys on the ground, and hurriedly wiped them back and forth with his hands. The metallic luster characteristic of the key is slowly revealed.
"The safe is full of cash, checks, and the cashier has the key." Manager Wei explained to Officer Cao with a smile on his face.
looked at Xiao Zhang again, and found that she was rubbing the key there, her eyebrows stood up, and she shouted with her eyes glaring:
"Hurry up, don't wipe it, the officer is waiting"
Cashier Xiao Zhang walked briskly inside with the key, and Manager Wei stretched out his hand to ask Officer Cao to go with him.
After the safe was opened, Officer Cao crouched down and took a closer look. Apparently didn't see what I wanted to see.
He got up and motioned for Xiao Zhang to lock it, and just as he stood still, the phone rang.
Officer Cao was a little impetuous, and his voice when he answered the phone couldn't help but raise the decibels: "What's the matter?" ”
He glanced at the time when he just answered the phone, and he had just left the police station less than half an hour.
'The bureau is calling at this time, what's the urgency?'
"Team Cao, that Liu Chang is dead," Xu Ran said timidly on the phone.
She was ready for the storm. frowned, squinted one eye, and stretched the receiver of the phone far away, as if it was so close that Team Cao could fly out and scold her.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement on the phone, Xu Ran pulled the phone back, and when he heard it, he was busy.
It seems that the leader is already on his way back.
