Chapter 307 The secret in the small iron box

Xing Yi went to the provincial capital to find a retired old man, his father's immediate boss, Deputy Director Qiao.

Yesterday evening, after dinner, Xing Yi was watching the news alone in the living room. A warm reminder appeared on the screen: The County Real Estate Management Service Center has relocated. Owners who need to replace their property rights certificates can go to the new address, No. 243 Jinzhong Street.

Ni Shuzhen just came out of the kitchen, and he asked: "Hey, what do you think of our real estate certificate being exchanged?"

Ni Shuzhen also saw the row of cyclic subtitles, sat down and said: "The name of the new certificate is real estate certificate. There won't be any conflict with the original real estate certificate."

He said: "There will definitely be no conflicts. It just depends on what new requirements there are during replacement."

He immediately walked into the study to get the real estate certificate, and asked in the study: "Hey, where did I put it?"

Ni Shuzhen smiled and said, "You forgot, it's with that small iron box."

Remembering it, he found a small iron box in the corner of the cabinet, with the real estate certificate under it. He first took out the small iron box and put it aside, took out the file bag containing the real estate certificate, and then put the small iron box back.Grabbing the handle of the small iron box and lifting it, the hinge fell off for some reason. The box was split into two, and the papers inside spread out. Xing Yi was startled for a moment, then picked up one and read it. Written: A report on the issue of the 50 yuan seed payment from the Southern Breeding Center. This was the first page, with only part of the content. Driven by an impulse, he found the second and third pages and read them in one go.Xing Yi could see clearly that the 50 seed money fell into a private pocket, and the whole incident revolved around one person. Teacher Cai was taking orders from him and was responsible for him. This person was Qiao Qin, the deputy director at the time.

Xing Yi never expected that the small iron box contained Teacher Cai's personal letters, but he didn't expect that there was such a secret in it.

He took out the separate small iron box and showed Ni Shuzhen the papers inside.

Ni Shuzhen also thought of the elder Uncle Wang very sensitively.She said, "What would Uncle Wang think if he saw this material?"

Xing Yi said: "Uncle Wang came forward to prove it on one hand. Now that we have this material and the testimony of Deputy Director Qiao, with double efforts, the chance of winning the father's grievances will be great."

"You want to go find Deputy Director Qiao?"

"When I went to see Uncle Wang a while ago, he finally provided me with Deputy Director Qiao's address. It should be easy to find."

"Then hurry up."

Xing Yi asked Bao Xiaogang to drive, and they went to the provincial capital together. They navigated to Huijin Community, bought protein powder, oatmeal, and fruits in the supermarket at the entrance of the community. After entering the community and finding Building 503, Bao Xiaogang had to do other things. , walked him to the elevator, said he would be back in an hour, and left.Xing Yi took the elevator to Room [-], where the retired elderly man lives.

Knocking on the door, there stood a thin old man wearing a light blue nightgown and looking energetic.Xing Yi said with great respect: "You are the old director Qiao Qin, my name is Xing Yi and I come from Jinxiu County."

"You're from Jinxiu County, please come in. Are you alone?"

"There is also a driving master. He went to the agricultural machinery center to buy equipment. He will be here soon and will call." Xing Yi walked into the room and put things on the table.

"You have come all the way, and you still have to carry things. How hard it is." "This is our first time to see you, so we just bought something. It's just a small gesture, which is not respectful."

"Thank you, please sit down. I'll pour you some tea."

Xing Yi said: "Director Qiao, please sit down and I will do it myself."

First, he added some water to Director Qiao's thermos cup, then poured himself a cup and put it on the coffee table.

Director Qiao was nearly seventy years old, and his demeanor was a bit slow, but his eyes were still bright. He glanced at Xing Yi a few times, took a sip of tea from the cup, and said in a slow tone: "Xiao Xing, come here and find me. , is there something wrong?"

Xing Yi nodded and said: "Yes, something happened. Please ask the old director for help."

"I don't know what you want from me. Look, I have been retired for so many years. My health is not good, my memory has declined, and my thinking is not as good as before. I'm afraid it will be a little difficult for you to ask me for anything."

Xing Yi's plan requires an opening statement after meeting. After this process, it is best to grasp the scale, maintain a pleasant appearance, be gentle, and make requests to solve the problem without hurting the harmony.But if he is unwilling and shirks the blame, then let him know that there is a small iron box with Teacher Cai's suicide note inside, wake him up, and let him think about it, how can he exchange for the secret that cannot be revealed?

When Director Qiao said this, Xing Yi clearly felt that he was passing the buck.Should the secret of that little iron box be revealed to him now?

At this time, a long beeping sound came from the kitchen, and the old director said: "Oh, the milk is ready." After going in for a while, he came out with a plate containing boxed milk.

Director Qiao asked: "Are you drinking?"

Xing Yi said: "I don't drink."

He said: "I have to drink a box like this before eating. It takes a long time."

"This is good, it's good for your body."

Then I looked at the clock on the wall. It was already eleven forty.

"Oh, look, it's time to eat, but I don't cook alone. My diet is arranged like this. I order takeout at noon and eat out for dinner."

Xing Yi said: "Okay, if Director Qiao doesn't mind, we can order takeout and eat together?"

"Well, that's good. I'll get the phone."

Xing Yi stopped him: "I'll do it. What does the old director like to eat?"

"I usually make rice bowls. It's simple and doesn't waste anything."

"Okay, so will I." He called the takeout hotline and ordered two rice bowls.

Director Qiao asked: "Don't you have another comrade? Will he eat?"

"He was busy over there and ate there."

"Oh, okay, okay, then just ignore him."

It took about ten minutes for the takeaway to arrive. Xing Yi felt a little uneasy. Would it affect his appetite if he mentioned it before eating?

After adding water to Director Qiao's cup, he thought for a moment and decided that it would be better not to say it directly but to take a roundabout way, so he said, "Director Qiao must know Xing Songqing from Jinxiu County. He is my father."

"Xing Songqing? Where's your father?" He looked up and down again.

"What? The old director is suspicious?"

"I don't have a deep impression of what your father is like. Although we worked together in the past, we weren't together every day."

"My father can't forget you and keeps saying that you are an old leader and you care about him a lot."

"I can't talk about caring about my colleagues who work together. Oh, I think about it. Your father was very young at the time, but he was quite capable. How is he now?"

"It's not that good. I've been in a bad mood. Director Qiao knows about my father's affairs. He has been wronged. For more than ten years, he has never said a word. He doesn't want to cause trouble to anyone, and he endures it silently with difficulty. , I really can’t stand it anymore, and I can’t wait any longer. I want to find justice for him in his lifetime.”

Stop here for now, look at Director Qiao, observe his reaction, and wait for an opportunity to further push out the small iron box.
