Chapter 717

Early morning

After morning exercise, Cao Cao Weiguo had breakfast, spent some time with his wife and son, and then rode his bicycle to the nearby Red Star Barber Shop.

The barber shop's decoration was old, with wall plaster falling off here and there, and the floor was cement. Because the room was small, even with the doors and windows open, it was still exceptionally stuffy inside. The barber in the shop was short and fat, wearing big shorts and a big undershirt, and was eating oil cakes in the room.

It was still early, and there were no customers. Cao Cao Weiguo walked into the barber shop with his briefcase. The old master didn't even lift his head and said: "It's not time for work yet. If you're not in a hurry, sit on the side and wait for a while. If you're in a hurry, go somewhere else."

This barber shop was also a state-run barber shop. The barber was also eating from the public pot and holding an iron rice bowl. Not to mention being arrogant, but don't expect a very enthusiastic attitude. It was mostly the kind of "take it or leave it" look.

Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: "Sorry, Master Zhu, I disturbed your breakfast."

Master Zhu looked up and saw it was Cao Cao Weiguo. A smile immediately appeared on his cold face, and he hurriedly stood up and said: "Oh, I didn't know it was Director Cao visiting. I failed to welcome you, and the hospitality was poor. Please don't mind. Please sit down, I'll go make you some tea."

Cao Cao Weiguo said: "Master Zhu, don't bother greeting me. You eat your meal. I'll sit here for a while and wait for you to finish your meal to help me tidy up my hair."

Master Zhu smiled: "Look at what you're saying, how can I let you wait? You take the seat, I'll cut your hair now."

Cao Cao Weiguo: "I'm not in a hurry, Master Zhu, you eat first."

Master Zhu smiled: "You don't have to be embarrassed. I've already eaten my fill here. I know you're busy with work, so I'll hurry up and tidy up your hair so you can go to work, right?"

Unable to resist Master Zhu's enthusiasm, Cao Cao Weiguo sat on the chair, sitting upright, his eyes looking at the mirror in front.

Master Zhu's hair-cutting skill was ancestral. He started cutting hair with his father when he was a teenager, and that was when the Republic of China was just established.

Seeing Master Zhu's scissors flying, no matter what angle the hair was at, it couldn't escape his skillful hands, and he tidied up the messy hair cleanly and neatly like flowing clouds and water.

While cutting hair, Master Zhu's mouth wasn't idle: "Director Cao, I heard that you caught that dog bastard Wu Wu Chuanzong. You are eliminating harm for the people. This dog bastard looks like a person, but he hasn't done human things since he was a child. During the Qing Dynasty, he bullied the market, and later he colluded with the Japanese. He did countless wicked things that would make his children born without an anus. It's just that this dog bastard had a large group of thugs under him, acting ruthlessly and harming people's lives at every turn. It is said that he also had officials backing him, so everyone dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, and could only watch him go unpunished. But it's good now, you caught him, and this scourge has finally been eliminated."

Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: "Master Zhu, the great leader once said that all reactionaries are paper tigers. This Wu Wu Chuanzong is a reactionary. He looks fierce and scary, but in fact, he doesn't have any remarkable power. The truly powerful power does not belong to the reactionaries, but to the people. For scum like Wu Wu Chuanzong, no matter how capable he is, from the moment he became an enemy of the people, he was destined to be defeated by the people and eliminated by the people!"

Master Zhu said excitedly: "Good! Director Cao, what you said is so right! Scum like Wu Wu Chuanzong are enemies of the people, so they must be defeated. Now we common people are the masters, and we are no longer afraid of those bad people. We should shoot him a hundred times, ten thousand times, to vent our hatred!"

Coming out of the barber shop, Cao Cao Weiguo rode his bicycle straight to the rolling mill. His standard cadre haircut, straight gray Zhongshan suit, and young face attracted the eyes of many big girls and little wives.

Cao Cao Weiguo arrived at the Red Star Rolling Mill and parked his bicycle in the shed.

Deputy Factory Director Nie greeted him enthusiastically: "Cao Weiguo, I heard that you not only caught a traitor but also caught several thugs. I really envy you for making another great contribution."

Cao Cao Weiguo smiled bitterly: "Leader, you only see me making contributions, but you didn't see me getting beaten. Last night, Factory Director Li and I were blocked in an alley by seven thugs with knives on the road. If I hadn't practiced some self-defense skills, I would probably have been sent to the crematorium for cremation by now."

Deputy Factory Director Nie said indignantly: "So dangerous! These people are simply lawless! They must be investigated and punished strictly! No leniency!"

The two walked into the Security Section together. Duty officer Xiao Han told them that Factory Director Li, Deputy Factory Director Xue, and Section Chief Zhao Zhao Mancang were all in the interrogation room, especially Factory Director Li, who hadn't returned all night and had been interrogating for a whole night.

Deputy Factory Director Nie thought to himself: "These people really angered the one surnamed Li."

Cao Cao Weiguo thought: "Li Li Huaide is really desperate to make money."

Walking into the interrogation room, he saw Factory Director Li looking at the confession, and Zhao Zhao Mancang sitting on the side eating buns and drinking mung bean milk. From the interrogation room next door, scolding and screams came from time to time.

"Leader, you've worked hard."

Cao Cao Weiguo stepped forward and said: "Do you want to go back and rest for a while? The great leader once said that revolution is the capital of the body. Although this work is important, you can't exhaust your body. After all, the whole factory needs your leadership."

Factory Director Li said with bloodshot eyes: "I'm not tired. These guys are too hateful, one by one cunning and treacherous, refusing to repent. Even if I'm tired to death, I will fight these scum to the end!"

Last night, the bald man and the others confessed some things, but the more Li Li Huaide interrogated, the more excited he became. These guys were not honest, hiding things and refusing to tell the whole story. Many confessions didn't match. Grabbing these discrepancies, Li Li Huaide interrogated desperately, letting Zhou Li Xiangyang and Zhao Zhao Mancang take out their housekeeping skills, determined to pry open the mouths of these guys, represent the people to execute justice, empty out Wu Wu Chuanzong's family fortune, and not leave a single cent.

Wu Wu Chuanzong and his thugs had hard bones and tight mouths, but they couldn't withstand the many tricks of the Security Section. Moreover, they used methods such as differentiation, disintegration, and sowing discord, fighting all night to dig out many secret and important pieces of information, learning that many people were hidden behind Wu Wu Chuanzong.

Take the bald man Zhao Jun and the six-fingered man who lost his hand, for example. These people were just a small part of the many thugs under Wu Wu Chuanzong. Besides the unlucky ones caught, there were still a large number of them at large.

Cao Cao Weiguo frowned: "Those thugs are just stinky fish and rotten shrimp, not worth mentioning. Did they say anything about other people, such as who has been backing Wu Wu Chuanzong in the dark?"

Li Li Huaide said excitedly: "Cao Weiguo, you hit the point at once. Although Wu Wu Chuanzong didn't confess, the six-fingered man who lost his hand confessed a few people. If it weren't for the six-fingered man's firm words, I really wouldn't have thought that those people would collude with a dog traitor like Wu Wu Chuanzong and do so many evil things that are sorry to the people and the organization."
