Li Xuewu told everyone to tidy up the tools and returned to the office building.

Went to the second floor to drink a cup of tea, looked at today's materials, and then came to the detention room.

Now it was Han Yating on duty, signaling her to open the door.

As soon as Li Xuewu entered the room, he turned on the light.

Xu Damao was squatting in the corner wearing only underwear. The sudden light stimulated his eyes to shed tears, and he kept wiping them with the clothes on the ground.

After adapting for a few minutes, he saw that the person standing at the door was Li Xuewu.

"Xuewu, I... I really don't remember what I did. Give me some water to drink."

Li Xuewu let Xu Damao put on his clothes, and let Han Yating open the fence door inside, grabbed Xu Damao's shoulders, staggered him out, and pressed him onto the interrogation chair.

Han Yating locked the interrogation chair and sat behind the interrogation table with Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu looked at the sad-faced Xu Damao and said: "Whether you did it or not, how many times you did it, who they were, where they were, how much you gave—you know these yourself. Whether you say it or not is up to you."

Xu Damao licked his lips and said stubbornly: "We live in the same courtyard, don't you know me? Where are those things? It's all the neighbors jealous of our family, jealous that I eat well and dress well, slandering me."

Looking at Xu Damao, who was still quibbling and shouting injustice.

Li Xuewu asked: "Did your wife also slander you? We will take your wife's record. By then, I won't listen to you anymore. What you say won't count as a surrender."

Hearing that Li Xuewu was going to ask Watching Lou Xiaoe, Xu Damao lowered his head and didn't speak, thinking that the retribution came really fast. Just dug a hole for Li Xuewu, and he fell into someone else's hole.

Xu Damao knew in his heart that Watching Lou Xiaoe's attitude yesterday had decided that he was no longer worth valuing in her heart, and the things he did before couldn't withstand an investigation.

Li Xuewu didn't urge him either, lit a cigarette, took it slowly, and had patience.

"The degree of hardness of a person's mouth is directly proportional to the degree of collapse. How hard your mouth is now, how sad you will be in the future."

Seeing Xu Damao playing dead, Li Xuewu didn't want to waste time with him after finishing a cigarette.

Li Xuewu tapped the cigarette ash and extinguished the cigarette butt.

"Okay, if you don't say it, forget it. Someone will say it. In a while, we will take Sha Zhu to the neighborhood office nearby to recognize people house by house. You, keep your mouth shut, wait for the handover. I can't help you."

After speaking, he signaled Han Yating to unlock and send him in.

Xu Damao begged for mercy: "Say, say, I'll say. Xuewu, we are in the same courtyard, you have to help me! Brother, I beg you."

Li Xuewu and the other sat down again.

Xu Damao looked at Han Yating and was twisted and pinched.

Li Xuewu slapped the table and shouted: "Do you think this is a restaurant treating guests to dinner? Still picking people?"

Can't follow Xu Damao's meaning, this guy has too many tricks.

Xu Damao saw Han Yating's unkind look, thinking that the woman in the Security Section was also so fierce, and hurriedly said: "I'll say, that... No. 3 workshop... casting workshop... labor protection factory..."

Han Yating grinned, stopped looking at Xu Damao's cowardly appearance, and focused on making the interrogation record.

Li Xuewu knew that this Xu Damao had quite a few colorful stories based on his glib tongue and his father-in-law's money, but he didn't expect that it involved several female comrades in the steel mill. There were even men in this confession, and there were some he had heard of, like Guo Dapiezi.

Good heavens, it would be fine if it was to aid poor families, but how could he organize an experience exchange group?

How could every case handle so many bizarre things?

Is this the distortion of human nature?

The more names Xu Damao spat out, the wider the scope involved, and it even involved many villages.

This guy is a human rice transplanter, not provoking those who have owners, specifically picking on ignorant and poor widows.

Xu Damao also thought, I can't live, so others shouldn't live either. Pull a few more to be cushions. There are those who play more wildly than me. Just like Li Xuewu, who lives in the same courtyard, said, compared to them, this is not a big deal.

Hey! He actually believed Li Xuewu's words. Li Xuewu didn't even believe what he said himself.

Spitting out more and more names, without Li Xuewu forcing him, Xu Damao spoke more and more fluently, explaining for a full two hours. Thirteen names, three men, all from the steel mill, and five women, all from the steel mill.

Signed, pressed his fingerprint, and sent back to the detention room.

Get it, report it and arrest people.

Li Xuewu took the interrogation record and went to the main building, knocked on the door, and entered Dong Wenxue's office.

Dong Wenxue beckoned Li Xuewu to come in, and pointed to the document on the table: "You came just right. Just finished the regular meeting, your appointment as Security Section Chief has passed, and the organizational procedures have started. In a while, the bulletin board of the whole factory should be publicized."

Li Xuewu toasted Dong Wenxue with a cigarette and lit it, saying: "Thank you, teacher, for your cultivation."

Dong Wenxue scolded with a smile: "Less of that Kuomintang set! We don't have that here. By the way, what are you here for?"

Li Xuewu handed over Xu Damao's interrogation report, and seeing Dong Wenxue start to read, he explained: "It's from our courtyard. I didn't pay attention at first. Later, the courtyard manager Liu Haizhong, who is also a seventh-level worker in our factory, sent him over. All the men, women, old, and young in the courtyard thought he should be handled according to the law. I interrogated him, but the scope involved is too wide, so I should be cautious, so I came to report to you."

"Xian Mu Qi Yuan"

Dong Wenxue looked at the interrogation record while smoking, squinting his eyes without speaking.

After looking for a full five minutes, he put down the report in his hand and said: "The situation of theft in the factory last time hasn't been decided on handling yet. It should be waiting for the verdict of the F Court. Yang Factory Director was very passive about that incident."

Seeing Li Xuewu not speaking, he continued: "The movie projectionist has always been a business card of our factory, showing movies to fellow villagers in the countryside. This is spreading a good reputation for our factory. It cannot be ruined by a mouse dropping, destroying the current great situation of the steel mill."

Li Xuewu said: "My meaning is also that it should be handled cautiously, punishing the past to warn the future, curing the sickness to save the patient. The tumor should be dug out, but the whole arm cannot be sawed off."

Dong Wenxue nodded and said: "You thought very thoroughly about this matter. Last time, Wang Jindong and Gu Ke's incident, I wanted to mention rectifying this crooked wind and evil spirit. It just happened to involve the factory area. Screen it and handle it internally. For those involving the outside, investigate them as well. You grasp the scale. For the rest that are relatively bad and don't have much influence on the steel mill, hand them over, prosecute them, and kill this wind."

Li Xuewu understood Dong Wenxue's meaning. Xu Damao involved too many villages. If handed over to outsiders to judge, the steel mill's reputation would stink. This is a matter of glory and loss together.

Nodded, extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray on Dong Wenxue's desk, picked up the interrogation report, and went out.

Li Xuewu called Xu Ning to guard the detention room, called Han Yating, and called eight members of the factory guard team to find people workshop by workshop.

Afraid that questioning female workers in such a large scope would cause unnecessary panic, Li Xuewu first found the workshop director, then asked the workshop director to call people out, without saying much, directly grabbed their arms and sent them back to the office building.

After walking around and gathering the people, he went to the temporary detention room and found them one by one for conversation.

For female workers, he didn't handcuff them. One was because there was no summons, and the second was because the situation was roughly understood.

Now it was considered a conversation, but it was also relatively formal. Female comrades were all interrogated with Han Yating present.

As soon as the female workers entered the interrogation room, they all started crying, because they saw who was detained together.

Li Xuewu wasn't in a hurry either. They said it after crying tiredly, and he even went out to eat lunch in the middle.

Handling personnel can have a heart of pity, but cannot handle cases with a mood of pity.

Li Xuewu's interrogation wasn't very severe, focusing on the family aspect, whether it was a special situation.

The five female comrades were either widows or their husbands were injured and disabled, with a bunch of children at home.

Li Xuewu understood the situation very well. There was such an ambiguous master in his own courtyard.

If they could afford to eat and had a formal job, they wouldn't lose face. In this era, there is no wall that doesn't leak wind.

After the interrogation, they signed and pressed their fingerprints, and he let these female workers go without making things difficult for them.

Before leaving, he even issued a gag order. ===== CHAPTER 108 =====
