Chapter 559 Almost, Just One Point

Chapter 559 Almost, Just Almost

"This is strange. There is less scrap steel this month, but the scrap rate is not that low. This is strange. Could it be that I missed something?"

Guo Dapiezi, director of the first workshop, looked at the financial statistics report and felt a little confused.

Guo Dapiezi found all the reports for August and compared them one by one.

"Yes, there is nothing missing, but it feels wrong. It's from the past few months."

Immediately, Guo Dapiezi found all the financial statements from the previous few months.

The scrap volume in the first quarter was normal, and there was a slight increase in the second quarter, which was also within the normal range.

On the contrary, in the two months of the third quarter, the amount of scrapped steel decreased, but the scrap rate did not decrease.

"I remember that in the past few months, there were several days when the scrap volume was quite high. How come it was less at the end of the month?"

Guo Dapiezi rummaged through the cabinet and found the scrapping status of each person in July and August, and looked through them carefully one by one.

"It's all quite normal. No one's scrap rate has suddenly increased. But Jia Dongxu has been unstable in the past few months, so he has scrapped more."

The overall scrap rate has not decreased much, but the scrap volume has decreased.

No matter how stupid Guo Dapie is, he knows that there must be something fishy going on.

"Okay, okay, you stole the scrap steel from me, I think you don't want to live anymore! Don't let me catch you, if I catch you, you will be in big trouble!"

Snapped!
Guo Dapiezi slammed the table. He regarded the first workshop as his forbidden territory and would never allow any sneaky things to happen.

"We only sent three people in last year, and someone still dares to steal this year. I will catch you. I don't want to say anything more about how you dare to steal my things."

Since the steel mill was built, the theft of scrap steel has occurred from time to time.

There were occasional breaks in between, but it never really stopped.

After all, if you don’t take the things from the factory and I don’t take them either, how can I make money and live a good life?

It’s okay if the factory is short of something. The factory doesn’t even look down on those few things we have. But it is these few things that make my family rich.

Having made up his mind, Guo Dapiezi looked through the gap in the window at the workers working outside.

The thief must be hiding in there. We can't alert him now. We have to tell Director Yang first, and also tell the security department, and ask them to come and catch him.

Now there is only evidence but no clues. There is no way to catch the person.

Thinking of this, Guo Dapiezi took a pile of documents and went straight to Director Yang's office.

Snapped!
"Well, you have the guts to steal things from our factory. You did the right thing by not panicking and telling the workers."

"There is one case in the first workshop, and I think it will happen in other workshops as well. The reward system I worked so hard to come up with can't even stop them from talking."

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated, thoroughly investigated!"

If there is one case, there will naturally be a second case. Director Yang asked other workshop directors to come and ask whether any scrap steel had been stolen from their workshops.

Immediately, several directors had doubts, but they had no evidence or clues, and the losses on the report were within the normal range, so they did not dare to report it.

The other directors either didn't have it or didn't find anything unusual.

"It seems there are quite a few thieves here. Director Guo, you discovered this in a timely manner. You are doing a great job as a director."

"That's what I should do." Guo Dapiezi said modestly.

Immediately, Director Yang asked Ma Wenxuan from the Security Department to come.

"Director Yang!" Ma Wenxuan rode over.

Immediately, Director Yang asked Guo Dapiezi to explain the matter clearly.

"Captain Ma, I leave this matter to you. No matter what, you must find the thieves and bring them to justice. In this critical moment, there are actually people trying to steal our wife. This is outrageous!"

"Yes, Director Yang, we will ensure that the task is completed and the thieves are caught as soon as possible!" Ma Wenxuan responded loudly.

"Yes." Director Yang nodded with satisfaction: "Director Guo, please cooperate with Captain Ma and discuss how to act."

"As for the others, go back and proofread the report to see if there really is nothing there or if they just didn't find it."

"Yes." The directors received the order and returned to the workshop for proofreading.

As expected, after proofreading, some anomalies were discovered.

These thieves are very clever. They hover within the error range. If you don’t pay attention, you would think it is normal data at first glance.

"Catch them. If you have evidence or clues, just arrest them. Don't alert the enemy. Arrest them one by one."

Everyone received the order, the director directly talked to the person individually, and then Ma Wenxuan directly arrested the person and interrogated him.

Once in the detention room, if there is evidence, the case will be proven right at the first trial.

All the places where the thieves hid the scrap steel were found.

Next are the thieves who only have suspicions but no evidence or clues.

As they couldn't alert the enemy, everyone was at a loss as to what to do.

Ma Wenxuan said, "I think we should search every nook and cranny of the steel mill to find out where they are hiding."

"If there are several hiding places, it means there are several thieves."

"Although this method is a bit troublesome, it's the only way now. Let's do it."

Director Yang nodded and asked Ma Wenxuan to take the security guards to search every corner of the steel mill.

Naturally, this large-scale search could not avoid being seen by everyone, but unless the security guards told them, they didn't know what the security guards were doing.

Instead, those who kept it in secret were terrified.

"What should I do? It will be terrible if I get discovered!"

Jia Dongxu watched the security guards searching meticulously and felt extremely nervous.

"Don't panic, don't panic. They will never find where I'm hiding. I'm hiding very safely. No one knows."

"Yes, that's it, relax, relax."

Jia Dongxu took a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down. He had originally wanted to go to the bathroom, but now he was afraid of being stuck in the bathroom.

After a careful search, they found several hiding places and immediately took the suspects there one by one to have a look.

If someone showed his weakness on the spot, he would be taken away for interrogation without any further ado.

People have been excluded from several workshops, but no one has been excluded from the first workshop so far.

"There can't be no one in the first workshop. There must be someone hiding in here. The bastard hid it pretty deep."

Guo Dapiezi looked at everyone in the workshop and immediately excluded the senior workers.

The lowest salary of these senior workers is 70 yuan. They look down on the small amount of money made from reselling scrap steel. They don't think it is worthwhile to put themselves in danger for such a small amount of money.

Unless something big happens to their family, these people's families are fine.

Guo Dapiezi's attention is mainly on apprentices, low-level workers and fourth-level workers, who are the most likely talents.

The money they earn from reselling scrap steel is at least more than half of their salary.

Among them, the one who made the most mistakes was Jia Dongxu, but Guo Dapiezi simply ignored him: "Such a loser is stealing things. Does he know what he is stealing?"

"The scrap rate is so high and so obvious. It's obvious that he didn't do it."

Guo Dapie directly eliminated the instigator Jia Dongxu. It was more than enough to let such a waste take over.

But what they want to catch now is the thief, and let him come out to take the blame. He is not stupid enough to use this useless person to take the blame and let the thief live happily.

"What's the situation? Are there any clues or evidence? Is there anyone else?" Director Yang looked at Ma Wenxuan.

Ma Wenxuan explained: "Most of the people arrested have confessed their crimes. Only a few are still refusing to admit their crimes. Now we just need to find the hiding places where they are hiding. It doesn't matter whether they admit their crimes or not."

"But Director Guo has made no progress at all. The thief is very cunning and there are no clues to expose him."

"Keep looking. If you can't find it in the factory, look outside. If they stole something, they would definitely take it out of the factory."

"Yes." After receiving the order, Ma Wenxuan took the security guards and conducted a thorough search around the perimeter of the steel rolling mill.

Jia Dongxu couldn't hold his urine and had to go to the toilet. He pretended to be calm and went to his private hideout.

"Try with a fork and see if there is anything underground."

Hearing the security guard's voice through the wall, Jia Dongxu was so scared that he trembled and almost wet his pants pocket.

"coming."

A security guard took a fork and poked the ground one by one, poking here and there, but none of them hit the target.

歘昘~
"Here it comes!" Jia Dongxu's heart was in his throat, and he listened to the sound of the penetration nervously.

As the sound approached, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but lean against the wall to listen.

"You're going to come over here or not! Please!"

Suddenly I felt my hands were a little wet, but I couldn’t care less now.

"Hurry up and go!" Jia Dongxu shouted frantically in his heart.

Wow wow~
When the security guard was about to poke a certain position, he suddenly heard something.

"Oh, bad luck!"

When the security guard heard the sound of Jia Dongxu going to the toilet, he felt sick and just poked him casually and left quickly.

"Huh~" Hearing the person leave, Jia Dongxu felt relieved and let it all out at once, not caring about it getting on his hands.

"I was so scared. I was almost dead."

After recovering, Jia Dongxu wiped his forehead and felt sweat all over his head, his back was wet, his hands were wet, and there was a fishy smell.

"Ouch~" Jia Dongxu immediately pulled up his pants and washed his hands.

After washing his hands, Jia Dongxu felt sweaty and immediately washed his face and wet his hair.

Workshop one.

Guo Dapiezi was at a loss as he couldn't find the thief.

"The thief is hiding so deep, it seems that there is no way to catch him secretly, so we can only mobilize everyone to catch him."

In desperation, Guo Dapiezi could only report this idea to Director Yang.

"Is there really no evidence at all?"

Guo Dapiezi shook his head: "The thief hid very well and didn't show any signs of being unusual. I'm sure he must have been doing this for a long time. His family is short of money, so he won't stop easily."

"Now everyone knows that the security guard arrested someone. He must know about it. There is no point in hiding it."

Upon hearing this, Director Yang nodded. Now that things had come to this, he could only speak openly and mobilize the masses to supervise and report.

Fortunately, the results of this catching were good. We caught more than a dozen termites, and there were only a few scattered small fish left, which was fine.

If we strengthen patrols and take appropriate measures, they will definitely be exposed and we will catch them one day.

"Okay, go tell the people in the workshop about this. In the future, pay more attention to any unusual behavior of the people in the workshop. It is better to catch the wrong person than to let him go."

"Yes." After receiving the order, Guo Dapiezi returned to the workshop.

"Everyone, put down what you are doing and listen to me."

Everyone looked at him.

"I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. When you leave the workshop, you should see the security department at work."

Everyone nodded, and someone couldn't help but ask, "Director Guo, what is the security guard doing?"

"Don't say anything, just listen to me."

"There are scoundrels in our steel mill. More than a dozen people have stolen scrap steel from the mill and resold it. These people have been discovered by security guards. There is evidence and witnesses. They will be sent to the police station soon."

"I would like to remind everyone here that the means of production in the factory do not belong to anyone else. Do not take them without permission. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless if you end up in jail."

Jia Dongxu was deeply shocked by Guo Dapiezi's words, and he made up his mind not to do it for the time being.

Fortunately, I have some money saved, so it’s okay if I don’t do it for the time being.

Guo Dapiezi continued, "Now in the entire workshop, only our workshop has not caught anyone."

"Isn't it good that no one was caught? It means our workshop is clean and there are no thieves."

"Yeah, we are the first workshop, who would do such a thing?"

Everyone is proud of the cleanliness of the first workshop.

Guo Dapiezi sneered: "Humph, it would be best if there were no thieves, but unfortunately, there are thieves in our workshop."

"This thief is very cunning and has hidden himself very well. He has not been discovered yet. I told everyone about this in the hope that we can mobilize everyone to catch the thief together."

"Everyone, if you have anything unusual to say, please tell us. Don't be afraid. As long as you take revenge, if you are caught, the thief will definitely be sent to prison!"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with some people.

But it doesn't seem like that. Everyone is quite normal. If you insist on saying anything unusual, it doesn't seem like that.

No one was looking at Jia Dongxu, and no one reported him. He felt more relaxed, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. It seemed that no one noticed him.

In front, Yi Zhonghai took the opportunity to look at each other and glanced at Jia Dongxu meaningfully.

Others don't know what Jia Dongxu is doing, but he knows it. However, it is not necessary for him to report Jia Dongxu.

After all, Jia Dongxu is Banggeng's biological father, and Banggeng is his godson.

There would be no benefit for him to report Jia Dongxu. Instead, the Jia family would still treat him as a tool and he could order them to do things when necessary.

Jia Dongxu didn't notice Yi Zhonghai's smile at all. He just kept grinning in his heart, thinking he was hiding it very well.

Several people from Yard No. 95 looked at Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu.

An old lady was discharged from the hospital a few days ago. If we were to say who is the most likely person to have done this, it would have to be Yi Zhonghai. However, he is a senior worker and has plenty of money, so there is no need for him to do this.

As for Jia Dongxu, he is just a piece of trash, no need to care about him.

Not to mention that everyone didn’t know that Jia Dongxu paid off Yi Zhonghai’s debt, they didn’t even know that he owed money.

Since no one reported it, Guo Dapiezi had to admit that the thief was good at hiding.

"Okay, everyone go back to work. If you're embarrassed to say anything, you can come to my office."

As he spoke, Guo Dapiaozi waved his hand and told everyone to go back to work. He then returned to his office and waited for everyone to come.

As expected, some things are not easy to say in public. As soon as Guo Dapiaozi went in, someone else went in soon after.

Not long after the conversation ended, someone else went in.

People came in one after another to report the anomaly, but no one hit the point.

It was just a simple suspicion. When Guo Dapiaozi checked the financial statements, he found nothing worthy of suspicion at all, but he still asked someone to come in to explain.

"Director Guo, don't listen to his nonsense. I just beat him up that day, and he wasn't convinced. He's seeking revenge against me!"

"I still have things to do with him. The day before yesterday, I saw him sneaking around. I don't know what he was doing."

Until the end of the shift. The bell rang.

There was no clue at all, so Guo Dapiaozi had to admit defeat.

"Everyone please pay more attention next time and report any findings promptly."

"Okay, let's get off work."

After waving goodbye, everyone packed up and left work.

The problem was not solved and it was time to get off work, so the matter was forgotten about by everyone.

Jia Dongxu suppressed the smile on his face and walked home leisurely and carefree.
