Chapter 569 Thief!

At around nine o'clock in the evening, when Jia Dongming had just finished taking a shower and was about to go to bed, there was a sudden knock on the door.

When Jia Dongming heard the knock on the door, a puzzled expression appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself, "It's so soon, who could it be?"

Jia Dongming walked out of the house and asked outside the yard, "Who is it?"

"Chief! I'm Zhou Bin. When we were on patrol tonight, we caught a thief who tried to sneak into the guesthouse." As soon as Jia Dongming finished asking, a familiar reporting voice came from outside the door.

Jia Dongming heard Zhou Bin's report and learned that the patrol department had caught a thief. He immediately ordered Zhou Bin, "Zhou Bin! Wait for me for a moment. I'll put on my clothes and come out right away."

After Jia Dongming finished speaking, he immediately turned around and walked into the house, picked up his clothes and put them on.

"Brother Dongming! What happened?" Lin Qiuyue asked Jia Dongming curiously when she saw him getting ready to go out.

When Jia Dongming heard Lin Qiuyue's question, he said to her while putting on his clothes: "Qiuyue, you go to sleep first. There is something going on in the office. I need to go back to the office. You don't have to wait for me to come back."

As Jia Dongming spoke, he closed the door and walked quickly out of the courtyard, pushing his bicycle.

Jia Dongming walked out of the courtyard and saw Zhou Bin waiting outside the courtyard. He immediately asked Zhou Bin, "Zhou Bin! What's going on?"

When Zhou Bin heard Jia Dongming's question, he reported to him while riding his bike: "Director! The situation is like this. When we were patrolling tonight, we found a dark figure climbing over the wall and entering the factory area."

"Because of the lesson we learned last night, we did not make a public announcement after we discovered this situation. Instead, we quietly moved to the area where the black shadow was, and finally caught the thief in the guesthouse."

"According to the thief's account, someone paid him 100 yuan to break into Room 301 of our factory's guesthouse and steal a black notebook."

"Room 301 is occupied by technicians from the military factory, so we suspect that the people who hired this thief are the ones who appeared at the wall of our factory last night."

After hearing what Zhou Bin said, Jia Dongming nodded subconsciously and replied, "Zhou Bin! Your analysis makes a lot of sense. The people who hired this thief should be the ones who appeared outside our factory wall last night. But the most critical question at the moment is, how did these people know that the technician at the military factory had a black notebook?"

When Zhou Bin heard what Jia Dongming said, he was stunned for a moment. He asked Jia Dongming in surprise, "Director! Are you saying that there is an insider in our factory?"

When Jia Dongming heard Zhou Bin's question, he nodded subconsciously and answered seriously: "The technician from the military factory has never left our steel mill since he came to our steel mill. How did those people know that the technician had a black notebook in his hand? How did they know the room number where the technician lived?"

Zhou Bin listened to Jia Dongming's analysis with a shocked expression on his face. He said, "Director! In the past year, we have caught many rats in the steel mill. I thought we had cleared out all the rats in the mill, but I didn't expect there are still some that slipped through the net."

Soon Jia Dongming arrived at the steel rolling mill and was responsible for the security guard duty. When the guard saw Jia Dongming coming, he immediately saluted Jia Dongming politely.

When Jia Dongming saw the salute coming towards him, he immediately stopped his bike and saluted the guard back, then rode his bike towards the security office building. Soon Jia Dongming arrived at the interrogation room of the security office. He saw the thief handcuffed to the interrogation chair. Wang Jianjun, who was in charge of the interrogation, asked with a serious face: "Jianjun! Did the thief confess everything?"

Wang Jianjun stood up from his chair when he heard Jia Dongming's question. He answered seriously, "Director! This guy's name is Qiu Dagou. He said a stranger came to him this morning and asked him to help him sneak into the steel mill guesthouse and steal a notebook. He will be paid 200 yuan after the task is completed."

After hearing what Wang Jianjun had said, Jia Dongming asked Qiu Dagou seriously, "Qiu Dagou! Do you remember the appearance of the mysterious man who hired you to steal from our steel mill?"

When Qiu Dagou heard Jia Dongming's question, he recalled the appearance of the mysterious man, subconsciously shook his head, and answered: "Leader! When that person came to see me, he was wearing a hat. At that time, the brim of his hat was pulled down very low, and I didn't see his face clearly."

After hearing Qiu Dagou's answer, Jia Dongming reminded him seriously, "Qiu Dagou! We now suspect that the person who hired you is very likely an enemy spy. If you cannot provide us with any valuable clues, then we have reason to suspect that you are also a member of the enemy spy gang."

When Qiu Dagou heard Jia Dongming mention the enemy spy, he was shocked and quickly protested: "Leader! I am innocent! If I knew that person was an enemy spy, I would never dare to take this job even if I was beaten to death."

"It's unfair! Who can prove that you are wronged? I tell you the truth, if you can't provide us with valuable clues, then you are a member of the enemy spy gang, and then you can just wait to be shot!" When Jia Dongming heard Qiu Dagou's cry of injustice, he threatened Qiu Dagou with a serious face.

When Qiu Dagou heard Jia Dongming's threat, he turned pale with fear and quickly spoke up to defend himself: "Leader! I am really innocent!"

"It's unfair! Then think carefully about what the person who hired you looks like?" When Jia Dongming saw Qiu Dagou crying out for injustice, he spoke again to scare Qiu Dagou.

When Qiu Dagou heard what Jia Dongming said, he thought that he might very likely end up being shot, and hurriedly recalled the characteristics of the mysterious man in his mind.

At this time, Qiu Dagou quickly thought of a detail and said to Jia Dongming: "Leader! Although I didn't see the man's appearance clearly, I remember that man had six fingers on his right hand."

After hearing what Qiu Dagou had said, Jia Dongming said to him seriously, "Qiu Dagou! Are you sure the person who hired you has six fingers on his right hand?"

When Qiu Dagou heard Jia Dongming's question, he nodded like a chick pecking at rice and answered, "Leader! I swear to you with my life that the man who hired me really has six fingers, and he speaks in the accent of our city."

After hearing what Qiu Dagou had said, Jia Dongming instructed Wang Jianjun, "Jianjun! Arrange for someone to search this guy's home and see if there are any valuable clues."

"Also, tomorrow morning, you should arrange for someone to go to the street office where Qiu Dagou lives, as well as other street offices in the surrounding area, and ask if there is anyone with six fingers."

When Wang Jianjun heard Jia Dongming's instructions, he immediately replied to Jia Dongming: "Director! I have arranged for someone to go to Qiu Dagou's house. Tomorrow morning I will send someone to Jia Dongming, where Qiu Dagou lives, to look for the person with six fingers."

After hearing Wang Jianjun's answer, Jia Dongming nodded with satisfaction. Then he said a few words to Wang Jianjun and left the interrogation room directly and walked out of the office building.

Jia Dongming walked out of the office building, pushing his bicycle and preparing to go home. As a result, he found that the lights in Lin Yuemei's office in the administrative building were still on so late.
