My courtyard shelter

The next day, breakfast time, at the dining table.

"Dad, I don't want a tractor." Lele sobbed softly.

Xu Dong felt a headache. Since last night, his little daughter has been making a fuss and insisted on exchanging gifts with her sister, but Keke also likes the violin very much. This time, she was tough for once.

"How could it be a tractor? It's obviously a Transformer. The tractor is just one of its transformed forms. Didn't Dad take you to see the Transformer cartoon?"

"Even if it's a Transformer, I don't like it. I want a violin." Lele said with a pout.

"Be good, don't cry. Dad will buy you a violin later, okay?" Xu Dong coaxed.

He bought both the violin and the Transformer from the Panjiayuan Flea Market. Speaking of which, the one-meter-tall all-aluminum Transformer is much more expensive than the violin.

"Then Dad, do you want to keep your word?"

"When did Dad lie to you? Come and eat. If you don't eat, you will be late for school." Xu Dong wiped the tears of the little cotton-padded jacket with a napkin.

“Hmm… Baji… Baji…”

During the whole breakfast time, Yang Lina had a cold face and didn’t say a word. She just watched the father and daughter going back and forth.

What a touching picture of a loving father and a filial daughter!

…

After work, Xu Dong walked towards the North Gate leisurely with a cup of water as usual.

“Brother Xu, you are here.” Chen Yang greeted enthusiastically.

Compared with the middle-aged Xu Dong, the young man Chen Yang is more motivated and more keen on power.

Since Chen Yang became the deputy captain of the North Gate, the mental outlook of the entire North Gate has been almost completely renewed. Even Section Chief Li praised Xu Dong at the department meeting.

With a hard-working subordinate, Xu Dong finally found a little feeling of being a leader. To be honest, it’s not bad.

"Well, are all the people here?"

"Except Xiao Wang, everyone else is here." Chen Yang reported immediately.

Although Xiao Wang is older than him, the workplace emphasizes "the one who has achieved success is the teacher". Chen Yang thinks that his position is higher than Xiao Wang. In order to suppress him, calling "Xiao Wang" is obviously more suitable than "Brother Wang".

"Did you call him?"

Xu Dong frowned subconsciously.

Ever since Chen Yang came to the North Gate, he and Xiao Wang have inexplicably disliked each other. The two sides even had many quarrels because of work.

Could it be that Xiao Wang is angry and quits?

Chen Yang nodded and said, "I called, but it didn't go through. The phone has been turned off."

Xu Dong waved his hand and asked Chen Yang to do his own thing, while he sent a text message to Section Chief Li, asking him to ask about the situation at the security company.

Ten minutes later, Section Chief Li called in person, and the security company confirmed that Xiao Wang did not show any abnormality this morning. As usual, he left the house at 6:30.

As for why he didn't go to work, they didn't know what happened because they couldn't get through on the phone.

Xu Dong had no choice but to put it aside for the time being. Maybe Xiao Wang would contact him after a while. After all, the relationship between the two has always been pretty good.

But he didn't expect that he would get bad news!

Near noon, two policemen suddenly came to the power company.

Everyone knew that Xiao Wang had an accident in the morning. No wonder he didn't come to work. The police came to the door based on Xiao Wang's work badge.

In Chief Li's office, Chief Li, as the head of the department, and Xu Dong, as his direct superior, were being questioned.

Before the questioning began, Xu Dong first asked the most concerned question:

"Officer Wang, is Xiao Wang in danger of life now?"

Officer Wang nodded: "He and the victim are receiving treatment in the hospital. Both of them are not out of danger yet."

Xu Dong wanted to continue asking, but was stopped by Officer Wang. Before the case was understood, the relevant information was strictly confidential.

Next, the questioning officially began.

"What kind of person is Wang Minzheng?"

"He is a decent person. He is a retired soldier with a cheerful personality. He is very strict with himself and his work, and he also takes good care of his colleagues."

Although he didn't know the specific situation, Xu Dong still tried to say it in a positive way. This was also what Section Chief Li had told him privately.

"Has he encountered any difficulties recently? For example, emotional crisis, lack of money, or any bad habits?"

Xu Dong immediately shook his head:

"None of them. Xiao Wang has always been single. He usually plays games and has no bad habits. And he is saving money to buy a house, so he should not be short of money."

Next, Xu Dong answered several questions one after another, all of which involved some of Xiao Wang's daily work situations.

The two policemen left after questioning.

The only information Xu Dong currently has is that Xiao Wang and a young lady were found lying in a park at the same time.

Both of them had stab wounds, but the knife was in Xiao Wang's hand. It is unknown what happened specifically.

In the next two days, Xu Dong called Officer Wang several times for consultation, but the case was still unresolved.

It was not until the third day, when the female victim, Ms. Wu, woke up, that the police quickly caught the real suspect based on the information she provided.

After a round of interrogation, the truth of the case finally came to light.

It turned out that Ms. Wu was running in the park that morning. Unexpectedly, she was robbed in broad daylight.

What was even more unexpected was that after the robbers robbed her, they saw that Ms. Wu was young and beautiful, and then they had evil thoughts.

Ms. Wu would rather die than obey, and was stabbed by the robbers. At this time, Xiao Wang, who was exercising nearby, heard the cry for help and ran to save people.

After a fight, Xiao Wang was unfortunately stabbed several times and fell to the ground.

The robber should be a novice. While taking away all the property of the two people, he also stuffed the knife into Xiao Wang's hand, trying to frame him and get away with it.

In fact, the police had already ruled out Xiao Wang's suspicion. The reason why they did not choose to make it public was that they wanted to stabilize the real suspect first, so as not to let the other party jump off the wall.

The only regret is that Xiao Wang did not survive after all and paid with his young life.

Afterwards, the government officially awarded Comrade Wang Minzheng the title of "brave and righteous", and gave him a one-time pension of 5 million yuan. Xiao Wang's photo even appeared on the front page of Daxia Daily.

The power company was also unwilling to lag behind and mobilized all employees to donate. In three days, a total of 4.58 million yuan was raised.

Even Xiao Huang, who had already resigned, entrusted Xu Dong to donate 1,000 yuan.

Xu Dong himself donated 10,000 yuan directly. He wanted to donate more, but was stopped by Chief Li in time.

Xu Dong felt very uncomfortable.

First, he had a good relationship with Xiao Wang, and the other party died young, which really made him very sorry;

Second, no matter what, he and Chief Li were the biggest beneficiaries of this incident. What does the famous saying say:

"The credit of subordinates is also the credit of superiors."

He didn't want to eat "human blood buns", but he couldn't refuse this "credit", which was really depressing.
