Chapter 212 A Thief Calls Catch a Thief?

After Li Weidong 'came to power', the first order he gave was to sort out the information of the farm owners.

Yes, everyone.

Whether it's the workers on the farm, the prison guards, or the inmates borrowed from other farms, as long as they are here, they will all be investigated.

It even includes people from the Institute of Archeology.

Now that it has been determined that they are habitual offenders and veterans, those who have a history of theft must be the first suspects.

Right now, there are not a few people who are sent to farms for transformation because of stealing things.

With Zhao Haifeng's support and even setting an example, no one in the whole new farm dared not cooperate, let alone sing the opposite.

Even Gong Jiadong had to honestly explain his experience last night, whether anyone could testify to him.

This is why Li Weidong insisted on waiting for Zhao Haifeng to come.

Without the support of the other party, he would not be able to do this at all.

Maybe Gong Jiadong would follow behind to make trouble for him.

Only in the afternoon, a piece of information was placed in front of Li Weidong.

He first sorted out those prisoners. The reason why they were the first suspects was not that they were the most suspected, on the contrary, they were the least suspected.

Because the dormitory here has not been built yet, so at night, they all have to return to their respective farms.

Moreover, there are people monitoring each other, once they go back, it is not easy to sneak out in the middle of the night.

This is different from Wu Laoliu's escape.

After all, after he escaped, he was quickly discovered by a prisoner and reported to the police.

If the person who stole the gold and jewelry is among them, the other party will not only sneak out in the middle of the night, but also go back without anyone noticing. The difficulty of doing this is not ordinary.

Of course, just because it's difficult doesn't mean it's impossible.

The other party was able to trick the two prison guards guarding the gold and jewelry, and it was not difficult to make everyone in a cell sleep like dead pigs.

But because of Wu Laoliu's escape, all farms have stepped up night patrols.

In addition, most of them were busy reclaiming the land before, and they were guarded by prison guards. The distance from the office where the things were stored was at least one kilometer away. .

Moreover, Li Weidong did not just analyze, but also called the suspected prisoners one by one for questioning, and relied on his super perception to rule out the suspicion of these people.

Then there are the workers and prison guards who belong to the farm.

They are far more free than those serving prison sentences, and the tomb has been excavated for some time, and it has been spread in private, and many people are even curious to find out what good things have been dug out there.

Because there are too many prisoners on the farm, even Li Weidong couldn't call them all for questioning, and that would be easy to make a fuss, which didn't meet the original intention of keeping it secret.

But the number of workers and prison guards is much less.

And almost all of them are suspects.

Naturally, Li Weidong would not let it go.

However, after asking everyone, there was still nothing.

During this process, Professor Xu Qingping also got the news and rushed over.

Although his face was a bit ugly, he was not as angry as he imagined.

After all, given his age, perhaps he has experienced such things in the past few years, and it is not surprising.

What's more, what was stolen was mainly gold and jewelry. Although these things were of certain value, they were not even comparable to a piece of porcelain in his eyes.

He cared more about the loss of those antique cultural relics, those porcelains with research value.

"Professor Xu, I have caused you so much trouble."

Li Weidong looked at Xu Qingping's brows with a little tiredness, probably because he had been tossed a lot.

After all, given the age, even if there is a jeep car, the dirt roads are full of potholes, so it's hard to get anywhere.

"It's okay. After all, no one wants this kind of thing to happen. How about it? Do you have any clues?"

Xu Qingping didn't seem to mind.

The point is that he also knows that this matter has nothing to do with Li Weidong.

The two had known each other for a while, and he knew a little about Li Weidong. He didn't bother to go into the tomb on weekdays, and he never cared about what was dug out of it.

"The prisoners on the farm side and the workers and prison guards did a preliminary investigation, but no clues were found," Li Weidong said.

"People from the research institute also want to investigate?" Xu Qingping asked.

"Yes, we must treat everyone equally." Li Weidong said firmly.

The reason why he put the people from the research institute last was not to save face for Professor Xu Qingping, nor did he want to wait for him to come, but the people from the research institute were the most suspicious!
From a normal point of view, if the farm detains something that should belong to the research institute, the other party will definitely be very angry, and revenge is not impossible.

And they also knew where the things were kept, and if they found someone to steal the gold and jewelry quietly, the people on the farm, especially Gong Jiadong, definitely couldn't afford to go around.

In addition to such a thing, the farm has no face to keep those antique cultural relics, and they can bring them all back to the research institute.

It is definitely killing two birds with one stone, or even killing three birds with one stone.

In this way, it is no wonder that Li Weidong doubted them.

"Should be."

After hearing this, Professor Xu Qingping didn't fly into a rage, but nodded in a reasonable manner.

"People at the research institute, including me, will cooperate with the investigation and there will be no excuses."

"Thank you Professor Xu for your understanding."

In fact, while speaking, Li Weidong has been observing the other party, but also found no problems.

The other party was very calm and showed no sign of guilt.

Even if this matter is ultimately related to someone in the institute, he believes that Professor Xu Qingping is unaware.

Next, Li Weidong asked people from the research institute to be called in one by one, and each of them had to ask where the other party was last night and whether there were any witnesses.

However, after all the people in the research institute asked, Li Weidong still didn't find out.

Even Meng Dayong's nephew and uncle, who had been helping there all the time, were very calm and swore that they were definitely not the ones who stole gold and jewelry.

Probably because he was also afraid, Li Weidong directly planted the blame on them, and came to torture them.

After all, they wanted to rob tombs before, but now that they saw so many gold and jewels, it was normal for them to be moved.

If it were someone else, it is estimated that the pair of uncles and nephews would have been arrested long ago and interrogated carefully. After all, they are equally suspicious.

But Li Weidong just asked a few words, and let the two leave.

Then, after he dismissed the two prison guards who were in charge of recording, he fell into deep thought.

Even a little puzzled.

Some of these people in the research institute hated him, and some gloated at his misfortune, but they had no guilty conscience, evasion, complacency and other emotions.

As long as his perception is not deceiving him, then this matter may really have nothing to do with the people in the institute.

If it wasn't the research institute, if it wasn't the workers and prison guards on the farm, if it wasn't the prisoners who were clearing the land, who could it be?

To say that the only one who has not met yet is the trainer Zhou Ji.

But in theory, the possibility of the other party is really small, almost negligible.

Just when Li Weidong was in a stalemate.

On the other side, Gong Jiadong approached Zhao Haifeng and expressed his opinion.

"Captain, I just asked someone. Comrade Li Weidong has checked everyone, but so far nothing has been found."

"not found?"

Zhao Haifeng frowned.

He believed in Li Weidong's ability, otherwise he would not directly hold the other party responsible.

But it's been a long time, and all the people who should be checked have been checked, and they haven't been found?

"Yes, I asked the prison guard in charge of the record. Li Weidong just called some people in, asked a few words casually, and then sent them away. How can this be a censorship attitude? It's just a show, and he didn't go up at all. Heart."

Gong Jiadong made a small report, but he was not at all soft-hearted.

"Perhaps Comrade Wei Dong has his own considerations. Since we entrust the matter to him, we should trust our comrades." Zhao Haifeng said.

"Captain, I know I have a bit of a villainous heart, but don't you think it's strange?"

"Strange?"

"I asked someone specifically. Last time when Li Weidong investigated Sun Hongmei's matter, he did his best. He even went from house to house at night when he didn't sleep. The inspection was very careful.

But what about this time?Just ask a few nonsense, then send people away, what can you find?
Could it be that he can see through whether the other party is telling the truth or lying?

If it's me, I can do it too.

And the reason why he did this, I think there are two possibilities. "

"Which two?"

Originally, Zhao Haifeng didn't suspect Li Weidong, but following Gong Jiadong's words, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

Li Weidong's performance is indeed a bit wrong, or it is hard to see through.

"The first one is that he already knew who stole it. Right now, it's just acting. He won't hand it over until you get anxious and beg him."

After hearing Gong Jiadong's analysis, Zhao Haifeng didn't express his opinion immediately, but asked again: "What about the second?"

"The second thing I say, don't be angry. It's not that I have any opinion on Comrade Li Weidong, but what he did, which is too doubtful."

Gong Jiadong said tentatively.

"Although, I believe that Comrade Wei Dong would not say anything even if he knew about it. After all, everyone is trying to get back the stolen gold and jewelry as soon as possible."

"Okay, I think the second possibility is that Comrade Li Weidong is calling for a thief?"

"A thief calling for a thief?"

Zhao Haifeng was stunned, staring at Gong Jiadong with sharp eyes.

"Comrade Li Weidong was able to join the party in the first place, which means that the comrade has withstood the test. Comrade Gong Jiadong, why do you doubt Comrade Weidong? You must give me a reasonable explanation today."

Zhao Haifeng spoke harshly, but in the end he still gave Gong Jiadong a chance to defend himself, or explain.
