Chapter 171 Arrange tasks!

Chapter 171 Arrange tasks!

After Jia Dongming gave Qin Huairu the bicycle ticket and money, he turned back to the office, took out a bag of tea from the cabinet, made himself a cup of tea, and then sat down at his desk.

"Tatttatttattt. Tatttatttatt!"

Not long after Jia Dongming sat down, Li Aijun appeared at the door of Jia Dongming's office. Seeing Jia Dongming sitting at his desk, he first reached out and knocked on the door, then politely asked, "Director! Guoping said you have something to talk to me about. What is it?"

Jia Dongming knocked on the door and instinctively looked up. He saw Li Aijun walking into the office from outside. He pointed to the empty chair opposite the desk and said to Li Aijun with a smile, "Aijun! You're here! Please take a seat."

After hearing what Jia Dongming said, Li Aijun sat down across from Jia Dongming's desk and asked him respectfully, "Director! You called me here so early in the morning. Do you have a new assignment?"

When Jia Dongming heard Li Aijun's question, he nodded subconsciously and answered seriously: "Aijun! Do you still remember Qian Quezi, the boilerman we arrested the night before last?"

When Li Aijun heard Jia Dongming mention Qian Quezi, he immediately nodded and replied, "Director! Of course I remember Qian Quezi. This guy usually looked honest in the factory, but unexpectedly, he was a habitual thief. After he was arrested, I finally understood what it meant to not judge a person by his appearance."

After hearing Li Aijun's description of Qian Quezi, Jia Dongming said to Li Aijun in a serious tone, "Aijun! According to Qian Quezi's confession, he sold all the discarded steel and workpieces from the factory to a blacksmith shop in Dongcheng. When we handed Qian Quezi over to the branch, I learned from the branch that the blacksmith shop was likely a den of enemy spies."

"Director! From what you said, you want us to follow up on this enemy spy case? If we take over this enemy spy case, will the branch agree?" When Li Aijun heard Jia Dongming's words, he immediately guessed why Jia Dongming was looking for him, and hurriedly confirmed the news with Jia Dongming.

Jia Dongming heard Li Aijun's question and saw Li Aijun's eager expression. He smiled and nodded and replied, "Aijun! The branch received a report from the masses a long time ago and sent people to monitor this blacksmith shop. However, after more than a month of investigation, they did not find any problems with this blacksmith shop."

"If there is nothing wrong with this blacksmith shop, how could it accept the stolen goods from Qian Lame? As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs. The more there is nothing wrong with this blacksmith shop, the more problematic it is. So I applied to the branch office to take over the investigation of this blacksmith shop."

"Director! You just need to give the task order directly, and our Third Brigade will guarantee to complete the task." After hearing the situation introduced by Jia Dongming, Li Aijun immediately couldn't wait to make a promise to Jia Dongming.

After hearing Li Aijun's assurance and seeing Li Aijun's eager look, Jia Dongming reminded Li Aijun with a serious face: "Comrade Aijun! The investigators of the branch have been keeping an eye on that blacksmith shop for more than a month, but they didn't even find anything wrong with it. This alone is enough to show that this group of enemy spies is very cunning and difficult to deal with."

"Director! No matter how cunning a fox is, it cannot escape the eyes of a hunter. As long as we have enough patience and keep an eye on this blacksmith shop 24 hours a day, even if these enemy spies are cautious, they will reveal their flaws sooner or later."

When Jia Dongming heard what Li Aijun said and thought about what Captain Zhang had said to him, he felt that Li Aijun's idea was too optimistic. He reminded Li Aijun with a serious look on his face: "Comrade Aijun! Underestimating the enemy is a taboo in military strategy!"

"Investigators from the branch have been keeping an eye on the blacksmith shop for more than a month. If they weren't worried about alerting the enemy, they would have taken action against the blacksmith shop long ago. Do they still need us to take over this case?"

"So if this is your attitude towards this enemy spy case, then I will hand it over to the First Brigade."

"Don't! Director, please don't! Please don't." Li Aijun heard Jia Dongming say that he would hand over the case to the first team, and he immediately became anxious and pleaded with Jia Dongming anxiously. After talking with Zhang Huanchun yesterday and Jia Dongming's scouting results on the blacksmith shop with his Eagle Eye skill, Jia Dongming knew clearly in his heart that unless he searched the blacksmith shop directly, he would not be able to obtain any valuable clues by just following the stalking method.

Considering that this blacksmith shop is likely to be an intelligence gathering point for the enemy spies, if the blacksmith shop is directly controlled, it will definitely alert the enemy and cause all the enemy spies' subordinates to disappear.

Since monitoring the blacksmith shop is useless, let's change to investigating those who come to the blacksmith shop to buy things. Jia Dongming believes that among these people who go to the blacksmith shop to buy ironware, there must be enemy spies hiding there who deliver intelligence. This is why Jia Dongming called Li Aijun to the office early in the morning.

After hearing what Li Aijun said and seeing Li Aijun's pleading expression, Jia Dongming said to Li Aijun in a serious tone, "Aijun! The branch has been monitoring this blacksmith shop for more than a month, but has not found any valuable evidence. So after we take over this enemy spy case, we must change our approach to investigation."

After hearing what Jia Dongming said, Li Aijun did not dare to speak nonsense this time. Instead, he asked Jia Dongming very seriously: "Director! You talk, I listen."

After hearing what Li Aijun said, Jia Dongming introduced in a serious manner: "Comrade Aijun! According to the feedback from the branch, this blacksmith shop is likely to be an intelligence gathering station for enemy spies. Since monitoring the blacksmith shop has yielded no results, let's change to monitoring the customers who come into the blacksmith shop to buy ironware."

When Li Aijun learned of Jia Dongmu's idea and thought of the customers who went to the blacksmith shop to buy ironware every day, he couldn't help but frown and replied with a serious expression: "Director! I estimate that there should be quite a few customers who go to the blacksmith shop to buy ironware every day. With the limited manpower of our Third Brigade, I'm afraid we can't handle it?"

When Jia Dongming heard what Li Aijun mentioned, he smiled and said to Li Aijun: "Comrade Aijun! This is not the peasant era. Do you think there will be many people going to the blacksmith shop to buy ironware? So the people you really want to track should not be many."

When Li Aijun heard what Jia Dongming said, he remembered that the autumn harvest had passed and it was no longer the busy farming season in the countryside. The farmers' demand for iron tools would naturally be much less than usual, so the number of people they needed to monitor would definitely be very small.

Realizing this, Li Aijun immediately assured Jia Dongming: "Director! Don't worry, we will complete the task."

After hearing Li Aijun's promise, Jia Dongming said to Li Aijun in a very serious tone: "Aijun! When you follow, you must focus on tracking those who have entered and exited the blacksmith shop many times. Also, find a way to find out their identity information and home addresses."

Li Aijun nodded subconsciously after hearing Jia Dongming's instructions and replied, "Director! I understand. I will go back to the Third Brigade now to implement the tasks you assigned."

"Director! Our First Brigade is strong in both manpower and horses. If you don't assign the task to us, how can you assign it to the Third Brigade?" As soon as Li Aijun finished speaking, Guo Jianguo walked into Jia Dongming's office from outside, complaining with a depressed look on his face that Jia Dongming was partial.

When Jia Dongming heard Guo Jianguo's complaint and thought of the task he had assigned to the First Brigade, he said to Guo Jianguo, "Comrade Jianguo! I originally had a task that I wanted to assign to your First Brigade. Since you say I'm biased, I'll just give it to the Third Brigade."

"Director! What is the task? Just leave it to us and we will ensure that it is completed on time!" When Li Aijun heard Guo Jianguo's answer and was about to refute Guo Jianguo's words, Jia Dongming's words made him feel enlightened and he hurriedly asked Jia Dongming.
