The way to make it dawn is simple, which is to startle the snake by hitting the grass and lead the snake out of the cave.
"Sister Li is right, the person who committed the crime has already completed their task, and even the police may not be able to investigate it thoroughly. We are even more unlikely to succeed. Can't just arrest him and subject him to severe torture, what can we do? We need to make him move, make him feel uneasy and panicked, make him think he's being watched. What will he do then? He'll definitely have emotional changes, find the mastermind behind the scenes to report and ask for countermeasures. At that time, we'll use the method Sister Ye just mentioned, follow him, and only then can we possibly expose him."
Li Yajuan nodded in agreement, "Alright, let's do it as Xiao Xiang said."
"But how can we scare the snake out of the grass?" Ye Nang asked with a smile.
"It's simple, we write a note with just one sentence: 'Are you opening the safe quickly enough?' and put it in each of their drawers, then we'll just wait and see how they react."
Two women exclaimed in unison, their eyes filled with excited light.
Xiang Tian Liang's heart felt a thrill. Women are always women, naturally curious, especially about this kind of game, they are 100% enthusiastic.
She got a white paper and pen, and quickly cut out three small slips of paper with her hands.
Yan Nian twisted open the pen and was about to write, and Tian Liang hastily said: "Sister Ye, you have to use your left hand to write, the more irregular the better, don't let others recognize your handwriting."
In front of Li Yajuan, Ye Nan gave a flirtatious glance to Xiang Tianliang and smiled saying: "Really many tricks." Following Xiang Tianliang's words, the pen was switched to his left hand, he leaned forward and started writing on the paper strip.
Deng Ye Nan wrote three slips of paper, handed them to Tian Liang to take a look, blew them dry, and then spread them out on the tea tray. He took out his handkerchief, carefully wiping both sides without leaving any fingerprints behind. "The slips of paper have your fingerprints on them, they must be wiped clean, in case some innocent person picks up the slips of paper and reports to the public security bureau, by that time, we'll be like thieves who lose their rice while trying to steal a chicken."
The two women were even more admiring of the "professional" moves and jargon towards the bright sky, and they became even more excited.
Looking at Li Yajuan and Ye Nan, Xiang Tianliang asked with a smile: "Tomorrow morning is the regular meeting of our department office. Now the office should be empty, it's the best opportunity to put up posters, who dares to go?"
"I'll go." Ye Nann said hastily.
Li Yajuan refused to show weakness, "I'll go, Ye Nan, I'm more professional than you."
Xiang Tianliang smiled and said, "You two go, one to keep watch and the other to slip in the note." As he spoke, he shook his handkerchief and used it to wrap up the three notes. "Remember, when slipping in the note, you must hold the handkerchief in your hand, don't leave your fingerprints on the note or on someone else's drawer."
After two women made a solemn promise, they sent them to the Summer Li car at dawn and walked back to the unit dormitory.
There is no love without reason, nor hatred without cause. Obviously, Ye Nian has ulterior motives for herself, which are written all over her face and eyes. Li Yajuan, on the other hand, seeks revenge; she wants to get one of the three treasures from the old director and expose the ugly truth about Zhang, who took her position.
Two dreadful women, you can't mess with them and you can't avoid them. A book says it well: in this world, men either conquer women or are conquered by them; when conquering, women are sheep, but when being conquered, they become tigers.
He returned to the dormitory with the sunset, fell on the bed, and before entering the dreamland, he felt that he had truly entered society, and his own magnificent life was about to begin.
He really wanted his two ears to react and see if what he was doing was good or bad.
But they didn't budge at all...
……
The next day.
As agreed upon beforehand, Xiang Tianliang arrived at the office with Li Yajuan at the same time, without arriving 15 minutes early as usual.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, Mr. Xu Heng had already arrived, wearing his old reading glasses and reading yesterday's Qinghe Evening News.
Right behind Xiang Tianliang was his roommate Chen Dabao, but this guy wasn't in the dorm last night. Looking at his sleepy eyes, he must have spent a lot on Sun Widow again.
Then Li Xiaogang and Shi Haifeng entered the office one after another.
No one dared to speak out, the case of the director's office being stolen was like a huge stone, heavily pressing on everyone's heart.
Li Xiaogang was less than thirty years old, slender in build, quite sharp-minded, wearing a pair of thick-rimmed myopic glasses, with a somewhat bookish air about him.
Xī Hǎifēng, on the contrary, at 37 years old, he has a nearly two-hundred-pound body. He is of working-class origin and entered the Construction Bureau six years ago through job substitution.
The layout of the office is as follows: upon entering, to the left is a small room separated by a partition, which is Director Zhang's office. Next to it, along the corridor leading to the director's office, are the printer and several filing cabinets. On the right side, in the inner corner are the desks of Xiang Tianliang and Lao Liu, while in the outer corner are Li Yajuan and Ye Nan. Li Xiaogang and Shi Haifeng are located directly opposite the door, with Li Xiaogang's back to Xiang Tianliang's back. Xu Laofuzi is closest to the door, and his opposite position is Chen Dabao's location.
After eight o'clock, Director Zhang still hadn't arrived. Everyone looked at each other, only Old Man Xu seemed oblivious, continuing to read his newspaper as if nothing was wrong.
Liu Yajuan is knitting a sweater, Ye Nan is watching Hong Kong and Taiwan soap operas, Li Xiaogang is a philatelist and must be playing with his stamps, Shi Haifeng is probably practicing calligraphy with a fountain pen, last time at the meeting in the office, Old Director once publicly ridiculed his scribbles, while Chen Dabao did nothing and actually yawned in the middle of the morning.
Hurry up and take out a copy of "Construction Bureau Monthly Newsletter" from the drawer, can't just idle around.
The sudden ringing of the phone startled Hui towards Tianliang greatly.
There were two telephones in the office, one on Mr. Xu's desk and the other between Li Xiaogang and Shi Haifeng. The ringing phone was the one on Mr. Xu's desk.
Mr. Xu put down the newspaper, slowly took off his old glasses, and then picked up the phone.
Just a few seconds later, Mr. Xu hung up the phone with an "uh-huh".
Then, Old Man Xu raised his eyelids and said, "Everyone, I've just received a notice from Director Zhang that today's regular meeting has been cancelled."
The first to cheer was Ye Nan, the office is leaderless again today, and can move freely once more.
Li Xiaogang stretched out his hand and poked Tian Liang's back, "Tian Liang, what are your plans for today?"
"What? What arrangements can I have?"
Li Xiaogang smiled and said: "Or I'll take you out for a spin?" Li Xiaogang is from Nancheng District in this city, he knows where the fun places are.
"I'll stay and be on duty instead."
Li Xiaogang laughed even louder, "You, I can guarantee that before the case is solved, not many people will dare to come to our office."
He shouted loudly towards the sky with a silly and foolish expression.
No one wanted to be the first to slip away, but then Old Man Xu stood up and said "I'm going to the design institute", picked up his bag and headed towards the door.
Xu Lao Fuzi was originally a person from the Planning and Design Institute under the Construction Bureau, and most of his spare time was spent there.
At this time, Shi Haifeng, with a loud and clear voice, suddenly shouted angrily.
"What the f***, who did this?"
