Chapter 180 This matter is all caused by Master Yi

Jiang Bo comforted him:

"Master Zhao, don't worry."

"The matter has not been concluded yet. We will investigate it thoroughly."

"You have to believe that we will not let a bad guy go, but we will not wrongly accuse any good person either."

Jiang Bo continued:

"Now, Master Zhao, I have a few questions for you about Zhao Bingqiang."

Master Zhao said:

"Comrade, if you ask, I will cooperate with you as long as I know it."

Jiang Bo didn't beat around the bush and asked directly:

"Have you heard of Jia Dongxu from the forging workshop?"

Master Zhao nodded:

"I know him. He is Yi Zhonghai's apprentice."

"I got fired from the factory for something I did a while ago."

"His mother even went to the factory director to make trouble, but it was Old Yi who persuaded her to go back."

Jiang Bo: ...

He didn't expect that he would get involved in some gossip about the Jia family.

Jiang Bo continued to ask:

"Has this Jia Dongxu come to the factory recently? Has he had any contact with Zhao Bingqiang?"

Master Zhao didn't expect that Jiang Bo would actually ask about Jia Dongxu.

Could it be that this matter has something to do with Jia Dongxu?

Master Zhao recalled it carefully in his mind.

"I heard that Jia Dongxu came to the factory to handle paperwork a few days ago."

"I didn't really notice whether Qiangzi saw him or not."

Jiang Bo asked again:

"Before Jia Dongxu was fired, what was his relationship with Zhao Bingqiang like?"

Master Zhao was stunned.

Jiang Bo could see his hesitation from his expression.

"Master Zhao, don't worry, just tell the truth."

Master Zhao hesitated and said:

"This... Qiangzi is a warm-hearted kid. He has never had a bad relationship with anyone and can always chat with anyone."

"As for how good his relationship with Jia Dongxu is, it's not particularly good."

"Just, a normal relationship."

"Say hello when we meet."

Jiang Bo asked again:

"You just mentioned that Zhao Bingqiang's mother is ill?"

"How are you now? Have you received treatment?"

Master Zhao said:

"It's cured!"

"Just had surgery."

Jiang Bo asked, "This operation must have cost a lot of money, right?"

When Master Zhao heard this, his expression changed immediately.

"Comrade, what do you mean by this?"

"The money for Qiangzi's mother's surgery was raised by the workers in our workshop and the old masters who worked with his father."

"Qiangzi wiped his tears and said he wanted to return it to us."

"Look, as soon as he got his salary, he..."

Halfway through his speech, Master Zhao realized something was wrong.

He swallowed the second half of the sentence back.

He looked at Jiang Bo in panic, not knowing what to say.

Jiang Bo said for him:

"What? Why don't you say anything?"

"let me guess."

"As soon as he got his salary, he paid back a large sum of money. And this amount was more than his salary that month, right?"

Cold sweat slowly flowed down Master Zhao's temples.

"Maybe it was borrowed."

Master Zhao said in a low voice.

When he said this, he felt very unconfident.

"Okay, Master Zhao."

"We have almost understood Zhao Bingqiang's basic situation."

"However, the circumstances of this case are rather special."

"So, in order to keep it secret, you need to cooperate with us and stay here for a while."

Of course, Master Zhao had no objection to this.

At his age, he has experienced a lot of ups and downs, and he immediately expressed his willingness to fully cooperate with the work.

Anyway, he has never done anything illegal.

He was just worried about Qiangzi.

However, he was a man of great sensibility. Although he was worried, he did not ask any more questions about Qiangzi.

After all, when the time comes for him to know, he will know.

Knowing too much at the inappropriate time may not necessarily be a good thing.

"Ugh."

Master Zhao sighed deeply.

I hope Qiangzi doesn’t do anything serious.

However, he knew in his heart that judging from the attitude of the Security Department and the Public Security Bureau, Qiangzi's crime was definitely not as simple as a petty theft.

Master Zhao felt heartbroken:

"Qiangzi, if something really happens to you, how can I explain it to your father in heaven?"

……

Forging workshop.

After squatting for most of the afternoon, the locked-up workers' legs became numb.

Some people simply sat down on the ground.

At this time, people in other workshops were leaving get off work one after another.

In the closed workshop, you can hear the sounds of workers outside walking and talking.

Someone murmured quietly:

"What bad luck!"

"We didn't do anything, why are you locking us up here and not letting us leave after get off work?"

"That's right, I have to go to the factory to ask for an explanation!"

"My wife twisted her waist and asked me to come home early after work this morning."

"Yes, I have something going on at home."

When everyone heard this, they became a little upset and their voices became louder.

Seeing this, an old master quickly stopped everyone.

"Keep your voice down."

He raised his head and glanced at the security personnel, and whispered to them:

"Don't you see it yet?"

"This is all Master Yi's fault."

He explained to everyone:

"Look, the police are all wearing plain clothes. What does this mean?"

"It means their mission is confidential and cannot be made public."

"He's so good. He yelled it out as soon as we met. Their operation is confidential, but they have to lock us all up."

After hearing what he said, a young worker blinked a few times and asked:

"Then...how long will it take?"

The old master shook his head and said:

"That's hard to say."

"It depends on the progress over there."

After he said this, everyone started to blame Yi Zhonghai.

"It's all Master Yi's fault."

"If it weren't for him, we would have gotten off work safely now."

"That's right!"

"Why did he go crazy for no reason? He caused us so much trouble."

"Alas, I don't know if anyone has informed our family."

"If I can't go home for a night, my mother will be scared."

The old master consoled him:

"Hey, be content."

"All of us have been implicated. We will be fine once this is over."

"As for Master Yi, I think something must have happened to him. At least it affected the police's investigation. Why doesn't the factory give an explanation? That's unreasonable."

In the forging workshop where Yi Zhonghai works, this old master is the oldest person besides Yi Zhonghai.

It’s just that his technical level is not as good as Yi Zhonghai’s, so Yi Zhonghai is the one in charge in the workshop.

But he is usually low-key, has experienced a lot, and is very prestigious in the workshop.

When he said this, everyone was quite convinced.

"Master Yi usually seems to be a very measured person, why is he like this today?"

"By the way, what did he say when he was arrested... revenge for personal gain? That's what he said, didn't I hear it correctly?"

"That's what he said. I heard it, too."

"Tsk tsk tsk, there must be something wrong here!"
