Chapter 177: The Case of the Missing Accountant

"Pocket watch?"

Hearing Zhou Xiaobai's words, Li Weidong swallowed the words he had originally prepared directly.

There is only one pocket watch on his body, which is a relic of Gui Shaoning that Xiang Tianming gave him at the beginning.

At that time, Xiang Tianming said that he would leave a souvenir.

But in fact, he hoped that he would go to find the supplies earlier.

Subsequently, the pocket watch was seen by Zhou Xiaobai, so he judged that the plum blossoms on the dial belonged to a woman's handwriting.

On the black-and-white photo that Li Weidong 'treasured', the cheongsam woman standing with Gui Shaoning is linked.

But at that time, in order to avoid suspicion, Li Weidong did not immediately follow this clue.

Unexpectedly, today Zhou Xiaobai suddenly brought the news of a caring table.

"Yes, do you remember the plum blossoms painted on it? I went to see my aunt yesterday and saw a painting in my uncle's study. ”

Zhou Xiaobai said, and mysteriously took out a painting.

Obviously, she not only saw it, but also came out of it.

As Zhou Xiaobai opened the painting, a plum blossom standing in the snow was blooming brilliantly.

Li Weidong simply pretended to take out the pocket watch from his pocket, and the two corroborated each other.

Then I found that apart from the plum blossoms, I couldn't see any difference or the same place at all.

"Gee, you're still wearing a pocket watch? That's right, take a good look, is it from the same person? ”

Zhou Xiaobai pointed to the plum blossoms, a little excited.

"Really?"

Li Weidong questioned.

"That's right, look at this faintly revealing graceful style, as well as the pen of this plum blossom, the embellishments are exactly the same, and they are definitely from the same person."

Zhou Xiaobai said confidently.

But Li Weidong still looked at the chicken feathers.

It takes talent to appreciate this thing, and he doesn't have the bacteria to do so.

But he believed Zhou Xiaobai's judgment.

"Do you know who painted this picture?"

Li Weidong couldn't help but look at the inscription on the right and the place where the payment was made.

"What is this writing about?"

If you don't look at what is written, just a simple evaluation, Li Weidong can think of a lot of words.

For example, first of all, it is beautiful, with a feeling of femininity and beauty.

But when he actually looked at what was written on it, he was a little blind.

"The courtyard is deep and deep, and the clouds and windows are hazy and the pavilion is late in spring, for who is haggard and lossy, and it is good to dream at night, it should be a southern branch."

Zhou Xiaobai next to him glanced at him directly, and seemed to think that he was illiterate and should also participate in her literacy class.

"This is a hairpin flower, which is generally loved by women, and it is a poem written on it."

As he spoke, Zhou Xiaobai pointed to the words with his onion-white fingers and read them to him one by one.

"The courtyard is a little deeper, the cloud window fog pavilion is late in spring, for whom is haggard and damaged Fangzi, and the night is good for dreaming, it should be the south branch."

"The payment is: Yi'an Jushi."

After listening, Li Weidong suddenly realized.

"It's good, it's this Yi'an Jushi, why does it sound a little familiar to me? Is this the pen name used by the author of this painting? ”

"Ahem."

Before Zhou Xiaobai could speak, Song Yan, who was still reading, couldn't help coughing.

He was a little speechless, and looked at Li Weidong helplessly, this student who was finally accepted was suddenly a little tired.

"This poem is called Linjiang Xian Mei, from the Song Dynasty lyricist Li Qingzhao, she is also called Li Yi'an, called Yi'an Jushi."

Hearing his master's words, Li Weidong's face was not red and he was out of breath.

"Oh, it's her, I didn't know her."

Zhou Xiaobai next to him couldn't help but laugh.

But she didn't mean to make fun of it, she just felt that Li Weidong's hard-mouthed performance at the moment was a bit cute.

"Where did this painting come from?"

Although he knew that the word was Li Qingzhao's, Li Weidong would not really think that this painting was also painted by Li Qingzhao.

Paper alone is not right.

What's more, Zhou Xiaobai told him just now that the plum blossoms on the painting and the plum blossoms on the dial are from the same person's handwriting.

"Yes, there is an address on it, it is a time-honored scholar's four treasures shop, but it will also buy, or sell some calligraphy and paintings, my uncle said, this is what he bought from there a few years ago."

Zhou Xiaobai directly handed a note to Li Weidong.

It has the name of a shop written on it, as well as an address.

Although it cannot be said that the author of the calligraphy and painting is 100% found, there is no doubt that this is a very useful clue.

And a few years ago?

Did Gui Shaoning just get caught?

It stands to reason that the other party should not be to the point where he needs to sell calligraphy and paintings to get by, so how did this calligraphy and painting appear in the store and be bought by Zhou Xiaobai's uncle?

There is no answer to these for the time being, so I can only wait for Li Weidong to investigate in person.

"Thanks, your uncle didn't ask anything, did he?"

What could he ask? I said I liked it, and he gave me the painting. ”

"Well, keep this matter a secret for me, don't say anything about it."

Li Weidong nodded.

Fortunately, Zhou Xiaobai didn't know that this pocket watch was related to Gui Shaoning, so he didn't understand the relationship between it.

As for Song Yan, he may have guessed something.

But Li Weidong is not worried that he will betray himself.

Moreover, he has not done anything yet.

Even if the worst-case scenario is really reported in the future, he has enough reasons for it.

He could have said that he was investigating, and wanted to find the supplies before reporting it.

Is this also wrong?

In addition, there are Chang Qingbo and Xiang Tianming outside, eyeing each other.

So the matter of finding supplies is not in a hurry at the moment.

What's more, Chang Qingbo and Xiang Tianming couldn't even dream that the pocket watch they gave happened to be an excuse for Li Weidong to cover up.

No one will suspect that he got clues from Gui Shaoning before, and deliberately concealed them and did not report them.

It is equivalent to removing the last bit of trouble.

"Don't worry, I promise you won't say anything."

Zhou Xiaobai's face was serious, and he nodded vigorously, feeling affirmed.

After finishing speaking, she even looked at Song Yan on the side.

"Okay, I'll keep it a secret."

Song Yan smiled and shook his head,

Naturally, he didn't get angry because of this, but suddenly felt that it was good to be young.

"By the way, it's ...... on weekends"

After talking about business, Li Weidong did not forget the purpose of coming to Zhou Xiaobai.

"Oops, I still have to go to the instructor for something, so I'll go first."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xiaobai slipped away directly, and didn't give Li Weidong a chance to speak at all.

In the next few days, the construction of the new farm continued in an orderly manner.

Even the excavation of the ancient tomb under the orchard is very smooth, although the tomb has not yet been dug up, but in Xu Qingping's words, more and more porcelain pieces have been dug up, and at most two or three days will be able to dig the tomb.

At the same time, in order to save time, they simply cleaned up the house in the orchard and used it as a temporary settlement.

In this way, you don't have to come and go every day and waste a lot of time on the road.

As for Meng Dayong and his nephew, in the spirit of making meritorious contributions, they worked very hard to dig the passage.

That afternoon, Li Weidong was drinking tea and chatting with Xu Qingping in the orchard house when someone hurriedly called him to the prison.

When Li Weidong came to the office, there were already many people sitting inside.

Not only the captain and the committee, but even Wang Zhenyi, Chang Qingbo, and Xiang Tianming were also sitting.

And the atmosphere in the room was also a little heavy and depressing because of the expressions on everyone's faces.

It's like a volcano about to erupt.

"Wei Dong is here, sit."

Xu Wen saw Li Weidong and nodded at him.

Li Weidong came to the last row and sat with Xiang Tianming.

It's not that he thinks about it, the main thing is that there are only empty seats here.

"Now that everyone is here, Lao Yuan, you can talk about the matter well."

"Yes, Captain."

"Here's the thing, just yesterday morning, Sun Hongmei, the accountant on the prison side, went to the city bank to withdraw money and prepare to use it to pay her salary.

But in the afternoon, she did not return.

As soon as I found out about this, I sent someone to her house.

However, according to her family, Sun Hongmei did not return home.

After I realized the seriousness of the problem, I quickly organized people to find Sun Hongmei's whereabouts.

But so far, Sun Hongmei has not been found.

It's just that according to the bank, at half past nine yesterday morning, Sun Hongmei did withdraw 36,000 yuan from the bank and left.

So I suspect that she may have run away with the money. ”

"Director Yuan, can I ask a few words?" Chang Qingbo was the first to speak.

"Team Leader, excuse me."

"Thirty-six thousand yuan, it shouldn't be a small amount, why didn't the security personnel go with Accountant Sun to withdraw the money?"

"In the first two years, security personnel were indeed arranged, but because it was so long, nothing happened, so gradually, no more security personnel were arranged, I admit that it was my negligence, but our top priority should be to arrest her back as soon as possible."

"Catch?"

Chang Qingbo shook his head.

"Director Yuan thinks that Accountant Sun really ran away? According to what you said, it has been a long time since the security personnel were dispatched, and if Accountant Sun really had bad intentions, he would not have chosen to escape with money until now.

Before that, she had a lot of opportunities.

And as you said earlier, you sent people to her house, and her family was at home.

Under normal circumstances, if Accountant Sun really wants to escape, he should first let her family leave, then withdraw the money herself, and then go to the rendezvous, and the whole family will escape together. ”

"What does Team Leader Chang mean is that Accountant Sun is not running away? It's ......"

"This is the most likely."

After Chang Qingbo finished speaking, he took a deep look at this Director Yuan.

The other party really can't think of this?

I'm afraid, it's more of a fool.

After all, if you escape, it means that you are still alive, as long as you find it, you can catch it.

He was derelict at best.

But if he is killed, he is dead, and even if he can solve the case in the end, his trouble will not be small.

Because it was caused by his negligence and not sending security personnel.

"No matter what, the top priority is to find Sun Hongmei, you have to see people in life, you have to see corpses in death, Chang Team Leader, is there any difficulty?"

Xu Wen stretched out his hand, interrupted the conversation between the two, and looked directly at Chang Qingbo and asked.

"Nope."

Chang Qingbo replied immediately.

"Three days, I'll only give you three days."

After Xu Wen finished speaking, he looked at Li Weidong again and said, "Deputy Captain Li, you will be transferred to Team Leader Chang for the time being, and you will be responsible for assisting." ”

"Yes!"
