D F T F Chapter 149: Informant.

Near the Antique Street base station, Li Wei Li drove a construction machine and parked at the gate of the base station yard. He lifted his head and glanced at the screen above, feeling a little uneasy, like he was being watched. Luckily, the location the monitoring group chose was far away, and he couldn't see them from where he is.

He lifted the seal marking of the computer room. The computer room was unrepaired. The company that sent him here today wants him to take stock of the losses in the computer room and the parts to be replaced so that they will send someone to repair it tomorrow.

He could basically know what the losses were in the computer room because he had come here before but he had to do thorough expertise that's why he came. He walked through the computer room, pulled out a notebook and briefly recorded what needed to be repaired and replaced, then left the computer room.

Before leaving, he moved a few bags of waterproof sand from near the wall and placed them at the computer room door. There may be rain for the next two days. It is always very important to do the waterproofing.

Speaking of tightness, Li Wei Li glanced at the distant mountain. The humidity of the battery will also affect the service life, and the purchase price will be reduced accordingly. That's not what he wants to see.

Li Wei Li didn't know much about the robbery case, and he didn't know if the police caught the thief who stole the base station, he forced himself to restrain his curiosity and not ask himself to deliberately inform, so as not to be noticed by the police. To say he wasn't worried at all would be a lie, but unfortunately at this point, he had no choice but to continue. Even though he knew it was wrong, there was no turning back.

Li Wei Li leaned against the construction machine, smoked a cigarette, and looked around again, then made up his mind, stomped on the cigarette butt, and drove the machine maintenance away from the base station.

However, the construction machine did not go down the mountain but went up the mountain along the road. Shortly after driving, there was an open space in front of him, and he drove the construction machine towards the open space. After a while, he got out of the construction machine and observed the surrounding situation. He didn't find anything unusual, and no other people were found, so he was relieved. Then he got a shovel out of the car and started digging the ground, it didn't take long for him to dig a big hole and find a layer of plastic tarp and a layer of the felt tarp, revealing rows of batteries.

Li Wei Li smiled, took the battery stacks out of the pit, and put them in the back of the construction machine. One-piece, two pieces, three pieces...a total of 48 pieces. Since the rear seat of the construction machine was not large enough and there was not enough space, he had placed the battery parts in the rear compartment and covered it with felt cloth so no one would know what was inside.

Li Wei Li was very busy, and when he finally put all the batteries into the construction machine, he showed a relaxed look, these batteries are worth a lot of money. He picked up the shovel again and was about to fill in the hole he had dug, so as not to leave any clues and not let the police focus on him. At that moment, a loud voice resounded in the mountains and forests.

"Police; don't move!"

Li Wei Li's hand shook, the shovel in his hand fell to the ground, he turned his head and looked around, and saw that several figures had emerged from the woods. His body softened, and he sat down on the ground...

……

At the interrogation room of the Qingdao Third Criminal Investigation Team Branch Office, back to the police station, Han Bin and Li Hui directly interrogated Li Wei Li.

After a routine interrogation start, Han Bin yawned: “Li Wei Li, we have been staying up late these days in order to arrest you.”

Li Wei Li blushed, lowered his head, and let out a sigh, no matter what, he never thought he had been targeted by the police.

"You can sigh. What made you do wrong, like stealing from yourself, embezzling company assets, and lying to the police?" Li Hui asked.

"I...I know I was wrong. I'm ready to repent and ask for clemency from the police," Li Wei Li showed a remorseful look.

"So, why did you do it?" snorted Li Hui.

"I, I... I don't want to do that either and it's impossible," Li Wei Li gave a helpless look.

"Do you have any accomplices?" Han Bin asked.

"No."

Han Bin recorded everything he said and kept asking: "When were the batteries stolen from the base station?"

"September 8 around nine o'clock in the morning."

"According to our investigation, the base station was disconnected in the early morning of September 8, and you were working overtime at the communications company at that time. How did you do it?" Han Bin asked.

"It was an accident. The base station battery was shorted, which has nothing to do with me. I also received a notice from the company in the morning and rushed to the base station for maintenance," Li Wei Li explained.

"So on the morning of September 8, you deliberately stole the batteries from the computer room."

Li Wei Li shook his head: "I really didn't want to steal the batteries, there is no excuse to do so."

"Does it make sense for you to steal?" sniffed Li Hui.

"I...I said it, and you might not believe it, but I really misunderstood this step," Li Wei Li's voice was muffled.

"You only buried two sets of batteries, where is the other battery?" Han Bin turned the charcoal pen in his hand.

"I sold it."

"When did you sell it?"

Li Hui was a little surprised. According to his speculation, Li Wei Li should have had time to count the batteries when taking them out since he was going to take them all out, why didn't he take them all out.

"The other set is a spare battery, which I sold a month ago. At that time, I was short of money, so I thought of selling the battery in case of an emergency. When I have the money, I will buy another set of batteries. The company lacked qualified maintenance personnel, and also in the management, there are flaws. When other people are sent to the base station, no one had noticed," Li Wei Li showed a look of regret, pounded the interrogation chair with his hand, and said:

"Who knows, that in the early morning of September 8, the base station battery shorted out and the company sent me to the base station to repair it. Originally, it can be restored by replacing the battery shorted with the spare battery. However, the spare battery has already been sold by me. I'm just confused, if it can't be repaired in time, it should be reported with a reasonable reason, and the company can send additional maintenance staff, I didn't because I don't want to lose my job..."

Li Wei Li lowered his head again and sobbed in a low voice.

At this time, in the second group office of the Qingdao Third Criminal Investigation Team, Zhang Ping and the others were listening in the observation room, and the interrogation process was clear.

......

Half an hour later, Zhao Ming couldn't help but sigh regretfully: "I did not expect to investigate this case for so long, and it would take so much effort to finish the work."

"So people shouldn't overestimate themselves. They should spend as much money as they have. When they think they can spend more now and earn more in the future. They can create problems for themselves by vain,” Tian Li hummed.

"What suspect is willing to tell everything he did wrong, he will tell half and leave the rest," Zhang Ping sneered: "I don't know how Li Wei Li planned to resell spare batteries, but what he did on September 8 was not as simple as losing his mind. He must have known about the previous base station robbery case and also deliberately blamed Meng Cheng Yong and the other people."

"I agree with Captain Zhang's analysis. The case of stealing previous base stations must have spread in the communication society, including even some details of the crime. It does not matter if the information is true or false, the speaker has no intention of listening, Li Wei Li tried to imitate the case of previous robberies, it can be seen from the way of forcing the door," Han Bin said.

"This punishment is also well deserved," Li Hui said.

"Anyway, this matter is finally over, and the communication at the base station can be restored. I invite everyone to have a good meal tonight, which can be considered a welcome for Xiao Peng,” suggested Zhang Ping.

"How embarrassing, I should be the one to invite everyone to dinner," Sun Xiao Peng said a little embarrassed.

"The leaders treat the guests, and we don't eat for nothing," Li Hui said with a smile.

"It's true, it's delicious to eat the chef's meal," Zhao Ming joked.

"Captain Zhang...I have a small suggestion, and I don't know if I should say it?" Tian Li hesitated.

"Go ahead."

“Although Meng Jing Dong has been released, I still feel a little uneasy in my heart, especially when I think that his daughter is dark, thin, and small, and has nothing to do with her father's arrest at the police station and all other things, I feel even more uncomfortable," Tian Li sighed and continued: "I was just thinking, can we collect some money to buy daily necessities for the daughter? To make her forget what she saw from us."

"On August 15, I also had this idea, but I just couldn't find the time to tell you," Zhang Ping looked solemn and thought for a moment: "In this way, we can do whatever we can within our capabilities."

"I agree. Although we are handling the case according to law, after all, we arrested Meng Jing Dong by mistake and caused his family a lot of trouble," Li Hui thought differently of the two.

……

In the impression of many people, rural people are simple and kind, which is true. But there are many idlers in the countryside, and they are very fond of spreading gossip. Take the example of the Meng family, whose daughter is crazy about her father Jing Dong and who is also handicapped person, it is estimated that his arrest by the police may spread to half the village, even if he is released when he will come out, there will be people chatting. If the police will bring gifts when they release him, this can be considered a correction for the family name.

……

"I donate 200 Yuan." Zhang Ping took the initiative to donate and warned: "According to your ability, do not donate if you are in a hurry. There are no foreigners here, so do not suffer for your face."

"I give a hundred Yuan," Tian Li said.

"I will also donate 100 Yuan," Li Hui is one of the tightest. There are only a few people in the second group. No one is ashamed of not knowing who they are.

"I donate 100 Yuan," Sun Xiao Peng said.

Seeing that no one surpassed him, Zhang Ping was a little stunned: "Giving is not a showy thing, don't be afraid to overshadow me, you can give more if you have the ability, don't be afraid I'll lose face."

"Otherwise, I will donate 200 Yuan." Sun Xiao Peng is a newcomer, said this, lest he does something wrong.

"Xiao Peng, forget it."

Zhang Ping waved his hand, Sun Xiao Peng had just arrived in the second group, and he did not know the other party's situation, and again pointed to Han Bin next to him: "Dear Bin, you should be more careful."

"I will pay three hundred."

Han Bin's family is in good condition, and he doesn't have a girlfriend, so he doesn't spend a lot of money, which is indeed he is more comfortable than Zhang Ping.

"I also pay three hundred." Needless to say, this young Zhao Ming was not short of money.

The second group collected 1,200 Yuan and bought daily necessities. After leaving work, the group drove a police car to Daxi Village...

As soon as the police car entered the village, it caught the attention of many villagers. The arrest of Meng Jing Dong and Meng Cheng Yong were still talking in the village after dinner. The police visited Daxi Village again, which immediately caught the attention of the villagers.

The police car stopped in front of Meng Jing Dong's house, and many villagers came to watch the party, pointing at Meng Jing Dong's house and talking nonsense.

"This police car stopped in front of old Meng's house, what happened?" asked a villager curiously.

"Meng Jing Dong was arrested once a few days ago and then released. If you want me to tell you, maybe they are here to arrest him again."

"Isn't it? The last time he was released, his mother said he was caught by mistake. Now it seems something has happened."

"Tsk tsk, this Meng Jing Dong looks very honest, and he's still disabled. He knows the face but not the heart."

Hearing the movement outside, Meng Jing Dong and his mother also came out.

Meng Jing Dong was a little uneasy. If you looked at him carefully, his hands would shake a little. He received a call from Tian Li, saying they were going to visit his house. He didn't know what the reason for this visit was, and he was inevitably a little nervous, for fear of being arrested again like the last time.

"Laughs……"

The police van door opened, and Zhang Ping got out of the car.

"Hello, Mr. Police officer Zhang," Meng Jing Dong greeted him hastily.

"Mr. Police officer Zhang, my son is really wronged." Meng Jing Dong's mother choked a little, clutching her son's arm tightly.

A thin and small figure ran out, hugged Meng Jing Dong's thigh, and shouted, "Police uncle, please, please don't arrest my father."

Zhang Ping was a little stunned and turned to look at Tian Li next to him.

"Captain Zhang, I said we came here to visit." Tian Li spread her hands.

"Aunt, don't get me wrong, we're not here to catch Meng Jing Dong. Isn't it a holiday? We're here to visit you because we were too busy two days ago and missed Mid-autumn Festival," Zhang Ping quickly explained.

While talking, Han Bin got out of the car with a carton of eggs and a carton of milk. Li Hui carried a bucket of oil and a box of moon cakes. Sun Xiao Peng carried a bag of rice. Tian Li took the children's clothes, toys, and snacks out of the car.

Seeing these things, Meng Jing Dong was stunned, and his body was shaking even more: "Mr. Police officer Zhang, Mr. Police officer Han, what are you doing?"

Zhang Ping looked around and said out loud: “Jing Dong, our police have already found out what happened last time. Someone deliberately framed you. You are innocent and have nothing to do with the theft."

"Thank you, thank you, Captain Zhang, thank you, officers." Meng Jing Dong turned his head away, wiped away his tears, and cried.

"Aunt, this is a small thought from the police officers of the Anticrime Squad. We think it's too little," Han Bin put the eggs and milk in the doorway.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you…" Meng Jing Dong's mother kept saying thank you, her eyes were red, and she held Zhang Ping's hand tightly and refused to let go.

"Come here, little girl, your aunt bought you some new clothes, let's see if you like them or not," Tian Li crouched down and greeted the little girl.

The little girl thought back to the past and was a little afraid of life.

"Qiqi, say thank you to the aunt," Meng Jing Dong wiped his face and encouraged her.

The little girl ran up and hugged the new clothes, her face full of joy: "Thank you, aunt, thank you, policemen uncles, you are good people."

Hearing this sentence, the two groups showed a smile.

Han Bin and the others didn't stay long, and before leaving, they also left the remaining money with the Meng family.

The Meng family was very moved by this. Meng Jing Dong and his mother cried, daily necessities and money took second place, the key was the attitude of the police, which warmed the family and was very important for the growth of the little girl from family....
