After lunch, Lin Mai came back from the villa and saw Chen Feng's younger brother who was a cadre at the construction site wandering anxiously at the door of her house.
The little brother also saw her and came down the stairs in three steps and two steps at a time.
As he went downstairs, he said: "Mr. Lin, no, something happened at the construction site!"
Lin Mai's heart sank. Was there an accident on the construction site?
She always told Chen Feng to work safely, but why did he still get injured at work?
She asked eagerly: "What happened?"
The boy hesitated and said, "The construction site was stolen."
Lin Mai breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as there are no casualties, everything else is fine.
She asked: "Can't you explain clearly what was stolen on the construction site in one go? Do you have to force me to squeeze out toothpaste?"
The boy hesitated and said, "All the steel worth 70,000 yuan that I brought in just two days ago was stolen."
Although Lin Mai has a net worth of several million, in this era, 70,000 is not a small amount, and it is impossible for her not to care.
She asked: "Have you reported to Mr. Chen?"
"No~" The younger brother shook his head guiltily, "The security guards responsible for guarding the materials didn't dare to tell Mr. Chen, please let me tell you."
The security personnel responsible for patrolling and guarding the construction site are all Chen Feng's younger brothers.
These security guards did not dare to tell Chen Feng, probably because they were afraid of being punished.
But how could such a big thing be concealed?
Lin Mai immediately rode his bicycle and followed the boy to the construction site, where Chen Feng was already there.
With a livid face, he was questioning the security captain: "When were those steel materials stolen?"
After such a big thing happened, the security captain was so flustered that he couldn't even speak clearly: "The specific time it was stolen... I'm not sure. I just know it was stolen in the middle of the night."
It couldn't have been stolen during the day. It was a huge pile of steel worth 70,000 yuan.
In broad daylight, people are coming and going at the construction site, and there are guards and security guards. Who has the ability to steal it out?
Chen Feng asked in a deep voice: "Didn't you arrange for someone to patrol at night?"
He has a requirement that someone must patrol the place 24 hours a day and night.
"It's arranged." The security captain replied quietly.
Chen Feng's face became increasingly ugly: "Since we have arranged patrols, how could the steel be stolen?"
To steal such a huge pile of steel, it would take a ten-person theft gang at least an hour just to load the truck.
Even at night, as long as someone is patrolling, it's impossible not to find him.
The security team leader was sweating profusely: "Last...last night because of the extra meal, many people bought wine, and the security team also bought wine.
Everyone feels sleepy after drinking.
Although the team members responsible for night patrol also went to bed, they all got up at eight o'clock.
But by then it had already started pouring rain.
The team members made a hasty inspection and found that nothing was wrong, so they went back to sleep.
Two hours later, I went on patrol again and found nothing strange, so I came back to sleep. Who knew that the steel had been stolen..."
Chen Feng said coldly: "After all, it's you and the night shift who failed in their duties!"
The security captain lowered his head and did not dare to argue a word.
Lin Mai asked in confusion: "The steel was stolen in the middle of the night, why did you find out now?"
The security captain explained: “No matter what material we buy, we cover it with tarpaulin, just to prevent it from being damaged by rain.
The pile of steel was always bulging under the tarpaulin. Who would have thought that it had been replaced with rotten wood.
If it weren’t for the fact that Mr. Zheng said he wanted to use that batch of steel just now, I’m afraid we still don’t know that the 70,000 yuan worth of steel has been diverted.”
Lin Mai and Chen Feng walked to the crime scene and saw that several large pieces of oilcloth were thrown aside in a mess, and the place where the steel materials were originally stacked was filled with rotten wood.
Lin Mai and Chen Feng exchanged a look.
Chen Fengdao: "The steel being stolen this time was definitely not an accident, but someone had planned it."
Lin Mai nodded with deep understanding: "This theft gang really knows how to choose a day, choosing a rainy night with strong wind and rain.
When the weather is bad, the security personnel responsible for patrolling are prone to slack off.
Moreover, the strong wind and heavy rain just covered up the noise caused by the smuggling of steel.
This is really the right time and place!”
If you want to load so much steel into a truck and transport it away within an hour, and then package it into rotten wood, no matter how lightly you move, it will definitely make a noise.
If it had been a clear night, the patrolling security personnel would have heard the noise, and this theft would most likely not have happened.
If such a big theft occurred, of course the police should be called.
Before the police arrived, Lin Mai and Chen Feng searched for clues at the construction site, but found nothing.
Mainly because the heavy rain last night washed away all the clues.
Chen Feng pondered for a long time and then said to Lin Mai: "Do you think it's possible that the first person who wanted to buy a drink was the mole?"
Lin Mai nodded: "It's possible."
If the security team members hadn't been drinking, they wouldn't have slept so deeply.
If he hadn't slept so deeply, he might have heard the slightest sound and become alert, and the pile of steel might not have been stolen.
Therefore, the person who first incited everyone to drink is indeed suspected.
Chen Fengdao: "Then I will send someone to secretly find out who was the first to make a scene and drink.
If we secretly investigate who he had contact with before yesterday and who he had contact with after that, we might be able to find some clues."
Lin Mai suggested: "You can also secretly investigate where rotten wood has been sold, and maybe you can find some clues."
Chen Feng snorted and called the trembling security captain who was standing not far away.
He handed over the two investigation tasks to him and said with a cold expression: "If you can't even do these two things well, don't work under me in the future."
The security captain nodded obediently and went to arrange the manpower to carry out the two investigation tasks.
The police also came at this time, inspected the scene diligently, and investigated the relevant personnel, but found nothing.
This matter can only be put on hold for the time being.
Lin Mai returned home listlessly and saw Zhou Caiyun had returned.
I also brought her a lot of eggs and dried vegetables, and it looked like they were prepared by Zhou’s mother.
Lin Mai told Tao Zhiyun that he invited Fang Zhuoyue to dinner and wanted her and Li Mingcheng to accompany him.
Zhou Caiyun happily agreed.
He even volunteered to go to Li Mingcheng's residence to summon him.
Zhou Caiyun rode Lin Mai's bicycle and quickly brought Li Mingcheng.
Li Mingcheng didn't come empty-handed. He brought Lin Mai two small roosters, two big and lively black fish, and a large bucket of peanut oil.
Lin Mai accepted everything according to the order.
Anyway, she will repay these favors in the future.
Li Mingcheng helped Lin Mai raise two big black fish in buckets and told her that his second sister's wedding date had been changed to October 2nd.
Lin Mai asked in surprise: "Okay, why did you change the date?"
Li Mingcheng said: "I hope you can attend my second sister's wedding."
Lin Mai originally planned to take time during this period to go back to the countryside to live for a few days and start growing vegetables in the greenhouse.
Now Li Mingcheng's family has even changed the wedding date in order to allow her to attend his second sister's wedding.
She had to go back to her hometown for a visit.
Then arrange the return date for October 2nd, so that you can not only attend the wedding of Li Mingcheng’s second sister, but also start growing vegetables in the greenhouse.
Last night at dinner, Lin Mai had already asked Fang Zhuoran if he wanted to go to Tao Zhiyun's house for dinner, but he had already refused.
The reason is that the condition of the second-generation official who had his severed limb replanted was very bad after surgery, and these few days are critical.
If these things get through, the surgery will be fine.
If it doesn't survive, the replantation of the severed limb will fail.
He planned to stay in the hospital for the next two days and work the night shift so that if the patient had an emergency, he could deal with it as soon as possible, and maybe he could keep the second-generation official's hand.
Lin Mai then went to Tao Zhiyun's house with two friends and Fang Zhuoyue carrying gifts.
Fang Zhuoyue was afraid of embarrassment, so he brought Doudou with him.
