Scholars in the courtyard

Liang Zuoxin went to call Yu Zecheng, while Yang Xiaotao took the confessions of Li Nan and Guo Shengjun and read them.

Although he did not understand the judicial field and was not clear about the current domestic sentencing standards, Yang Xiaotao felt that Li Nan's criminal behavior was not the main culprit in this criminal activity.

However, an accomplice could not escape.

Of course, it does not mean that the accomplice is not serious. He knowingly committed the crime, that is, he actively participated in the criminal activities.

Now it depends mainly on Li Nan's attitude of confession and his contribution to the case investigation.

That is, take the initiative to confess, cooperate with the inspection, and strive for leniency.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, they will think that these are tricks to fool criminals and solve the case as soon as possible.

But only the criminals know that once they break through the shackles in their hearts, this is their only chance to fight for a way out for themselves.

And this is the opportunity Yang Xiaotao gave Li Nan.

Fortunately, this guy caught it at the last moment.

With this, the security department of their machinery factory can report these when submitting evidence, and strive for leniency for Li Nan.

After reading the confessions of several people, Yang Xiaotao put them on the table and closed his eyes to rest.

Liu Huaimin, Yang Youning, Chen Gong and Guo Liang were looking through the account book.

There are records of the research institute and the receipt records of the metallurgical department.

Fortunately, the time is not long, that is, starting from the eight-cylinder engine, and the records have not been destroyed.

If it exceeds three years, it is estimated that it is hard to say whether the files can be found.

Several people were calculating there, starting from the scrap rate of Li Nan's group exceeding 10%.

Then calculate the false report according to the average scrap rate, and then use the product consumables of each stage to calculate the share that was "eaten", so as to estimate the quantity.

This is not an easy job, and several people dare not rely on others, so they have to do it themselves.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the serious faces of several people and wanted to say that there was no need to be so troublesome. Just multiply the total amount by the higher scrap rate.

But if he said it out loud, he was afraid that several people would not believe it and let him participate in it.

So he simply found some work for them to do and let them feel a little involved in this operation.

Yang Xiaotao stood up, walked around, and then said to Liu Huaimin.

"Lao Liu, Lao Yang, I want to take Li Nan out for a while!"

At this time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

If we go later, Wang Fa and others will not be able to wait!

After the voice fell, several people stopped their work and stared at Yang Xiaotao.

Li Nan, that's not an ordinary person.

In other words, any suspect can be directly removed, that is, a good criminal.

How could they let such a person run away?

What if he ran away?

Not being able to explain to the superiors is one thing, but ruining this mission is a big deal.

But seeing Yang Xiaotao's affirmative look, the two didn't know how to refuse.

Liu Huaimin glanced at Yang Youning, and the two exchanged glances. In the end, Liu Huaimin nodded, "Okay, but be careful!"

"Let the security department send a team to follow!"

Yang Youning added that letting Yang Xiaotao take people away was for Yang Xiaotao's face.

But this is a key person, and nothing can happen!

"Okay!"

Yang Xiaotao did not refuse. Taking Li Nan this time was against the rules, and it was normal for someone to follow.

Yang Xiaotao got up and left the office.

Detention room.

Li Nan sat on the ground with his head buried in his legs, staring at the ground with lifeless eyes, and his vision became blurred.

His mind was even more chaotic, and he didn't know how to face it next.

Life or death?

And the wife and children at home?

Perhaps, there are also those brothers who have been with him all the way?

How to face them?

Li Nan suddenly covered his face, and a sound of regret came out of his throat, letting the tears flow through his fingers.

Why did he choose this path in the first place!

Is there a lack of food?

Is the work not good?

Is life not satisfactory?

None of them.

It is he who is not satisfied, he is too self-righteous...

Woo...

The sound in his throat finally couldn't be suppressed and rang in the room.

Click...

The sound of the door opening came, and Li Nan looked up suddenly and looked at the person who walked in.

Yang Xiaotao!

In an instant, there were complicated emotions in his mind. He wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.

Watching Yang Xiaotao step forward step by step, Li Nan wiped the tears from his face, raised his head, and finally spoke.

"You are here!"

"Yeah."

Yang Xiaotao responded, then came to the front and took out a cigarette from his pocket.

He has been smoking faster recently, and the cigarettes in the space are less than half.

"I know I'm in trouble this time."

Li Nan took it, puffing out smoke, his eyes focused, and then shook his head and laughed at himself, "Speaking of which, now I understand that my biggest mistake is to compare with you."

"Some people are destined not to be compared."

"If you insist on comparing, it will only hurt others and yourself."

After listening, Yang Xiaotao did not respond, but just spit out the smoke in his chest.

Some things, if you can't think it through, it's useless for others to say it ten thousand times, and it's like this.

But when you think it through, you don't need to say anything, he will make up for it.

Just like what happened before.

After Li Nan looked better, Yang Xiaotao stepped forward, reached out and pulled his shoulders, pulling him up.

"Brother Nan!"

Smooth your clothes and put them in order.

Li Nan looked at Yang Xiaotao, feeling as if he was about to go to the execution ground, finishing his appearance.

"Let's go, we have a party tonight."

Yang Xiaotao said calmly, but Li Nan was like a lightning strike, his body shaking and his face resisting.

"No, it's better not to go."

Li Nan shook his head and stepped back unconsciously.

"No, I can't go, I'm like this, I"

"You'll regret it if you don't go."

Yang Xiaotao's voice was very soft.

"I"

Li Nan's face was covered with tears.

"If you still think of us as brothers, go and see us one last time and make things clear."

"Good brothers, forever."

After saying that, he waited at the door.

After a while, Li Nan wiped away the tears on his face and stood beside Yang Xiaotao without saying a word.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at the security guard next to him, nodded, and someone stepped forward to cover Li Nan's hand with a piece of work clothes, and then walked out.

Wang Legalist.

Che Wenwei, Li Wei and others had already arrived. Although this gathering came suddenly, it was not unexpected.

Everyone gets together when they have free time to enhance their relationship with each other.

In the room, Wang Fa had already drank two pots of tea with several people, and Xing Jiaqi had gone to the toilet twice.

As soon as I came back, I was complaining in the room, "You said that our Comrade Xiao Tao is a busy man, so it's okay to come late."

"But this little plum also has an identity. Isn't it unreasonable that she doesn't come now?"

Xing Jiaqi said, then looked at Li Wei standing aside, "Da Li, what do you think?"

Li Wei was talking to Che Wenwei. When he heard Xing Jiaqi ask him, he raised his head and threw the melon seed peel in his hand, "You are a very capable boy, and you are even bigger than Li. Can Uncle Li understand?"

"so rude."

Xing Jiaqi dodged the melon seed peel and sat next to Wang Fa. "Team leader, look, this guy is bullying the newcomers again. You have to make the decision."

Wang Fa smiled and picked up the kettle to refill the water for several people, "The decision must be made."

"Let this guy go to Northwest Sanyue."

"Ah, stop being such a bully."

Xing Jiaqi howled miserably, and Che Wenwei smiled, "Yes, we have to let him go. This will save him being bored with his wife all day long and not doing serious business."

"Hey, Lao Che, you are wrong. In response to the revolutionary construction, having more children is a big deal. I have been working hard for this."

"But it's of no use."

Li Wei suddenly opened his mouth and stabbed the knife directly into Xing Jiaqi's waist.

"Yeah, look, Xiao Li already has two sons. How can you do it?"

Wang Fa also made a stab at the side.

Xing Jiaqi's face suddenly turned red. Che Wenwei looked at it and felt that he had better not provoke him yet.

"If you can't do it, I heard Xiaotao say he has a secret recipe, why don't you go and ask?"

"real?"

After Wang Fa finished speaking, Xing Jiaqi immediately changed her attitude. The previous embarrassment was not there anymore. Giving birth to a son was the most important thing.

"It should be true. Xiaotao usually doesn't lie."

"Great, come tonight"

Xing Jiaqi was about to speak when she heard the door open, and then the Wang family's sister-in-law's voice came, "Xiao Tao and Nan Zi are here."

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to disturb you."

"sister in law!"

Yang Xiaotao said hello, and Li Nan behind him didn't know where to put his hands, with a forced smile on his face.

Before entering, Yang Xiaotao asked someone to take off the handcuffs, but there were people from the security department around outside, so he couldn't escape.

What's more, Yang Xiaotao also asked people to go to Li Nan's house and ask his wife and children to come over and meet him.

As for Li Nan's matter, the family should already know about it.

After all, the machinery factory will definitely recover those illegal gains.

I just don’t know what’s going on at Li Nan’s family.

Li Nan was both grateful and regretful for this, and followed Yang Xiaotao, feeling that he was not worthy of being a human being.

The Wang family's sister-in-law greeted the two of them, but she felt that Li Nan was a little special today.

"Come in quickly, I'll be waiting for you."

The two nodded, and at this time Xing Jiaqi had already ran out, came directly to Yang Xiaotao, and hugged him hard.

"Brother Tao, I'm finally waiting for you to come."

Xing Jiaqi is one year younger than Yang Xiaotao and the same age as Zhou Kui. She is usually called Brother Tao.

The two of them slapped each other on the back and were very happy to see each other.

Li Nan looked at the appearance of the two of them, and suddenly felt a surge of envy in his heart.

"Xiao Lizi, this is the finale for you."

The next second, Xing Jiaqi rushed forward and Li Nan was hugged together.

Only then did he react, and then he hugged Xing Jiaqi hard.

"Xiao Xing!"

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"fine!"

Li Nan smiled, and then Wang Fa and others came out at the door to greet the two of them.

Yang Xiaotao met several people, and then six people walked into the house.

At this time, food was placed on the table one after another, and everyone began to sit down.

"Come, let's get together again and do one."

Wang Fa was happy, he was already very content with what he had today.

Especially with a group of brothers accompanying him, he is contented in this life.

"Come on, do one, you must do one."

Li Wei held the wine cup, and everyone responded immediately.

Li Nan felt a little uncomfortable, but he was still infected by the atmosphere. The wine cups banged together, and several people drank it down in one gulp.

"Eat, eat while it's hot."

"Xiao Xing, this is the fried tofu made by your sister-in-law."

"Xiao Tao, your sister-in-law pickled the duck eggs herself. You gave it to her last time."

"Xiao Li, you like the tomatoes mixed with sugar the most."

Wang Fa was like a head of the family, calling everyone, as if he was afraid that others would not be full.

Several people also gave face and picked up chopsticks to eat.

Haha~~~

At this time, Li Nan suddenly covered her face with both hands and cried bitterly.

In an instant, Wang Fa and others were stunned and didn't understand what happened.

Only Yang Xiaotao was there peeling the duck egg skin bit by bit, very carefully and slowly

But the careful Che Wenwei saw that Li Nan's wrist was a little red, and the mark was definitely not simple.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Fa put his hand on Li Nan's shoulder. Xing Jiaqi, who was standing next to him, still had her chopsticks in the air. Seeing this, she also reached out and patted Li Nan's head, "No way, little Li, Brother Wang is just being polite. You don't need to be so touched."

Woo woo~

The concern of everyone made Li Nan feel more uncomfortable.

"Xiao Tao, what's wrong?"

Wang Fa finally realized that something was wrong. The two came so late, and Yang Xiaotao also said tonight. Is it a coincidence?

He would rather believe that there was something wrong, and it was an important thing.

"Xiao Tao!"

Che Wenwei put down his chopsticks. He was sure that something happened to Li Nan.

Several people looked at Yang Xiaotao, who was lowering his head to peel the duck egg.

Faced with everyone's questions, Yang Xiaotao said nothing.

It's better for Li Nan to say this kind of thing himself.

After a while, Li Nan wiped his face. Seeing Yang Xiaotao like this, he took a deep breath and said to several people.

"Brother Wang, Brother Che, Brother Li, and Xiao Xing, Xiao Tao."

"It's me, I did something wrong, I'm sorry everyone!"
