After reading the information in his hand, An Zhong could not conceal his excitement on his calm face.

He called Chen Xiao immediately.

"Hello? Boss, a big discovery."

Chen Xiao also became excited, "What discovery?"

An Zhongdao: "We visited the merchants near the firecracker factory for surveillance and found that there was a hotel where six or seven foreigners came some time ago."

"Moreover, these foreigners were active in the town near the firecracker factory for five days."

Chen Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

The firecracker factory is located in the suburbs of Qing City.

There is a small town only three kilometers away, so it can be said that the location is very remote.

If these foreigners were tourists, why would they stay in this dilapidated and desolate town for four or five days instead of visiting so many scenic spots?

If you say that there is no ghost, I would not believe it even if I beat Chen Xiao to death.

"Okay! Follow this clue and continue the investigation!"

"yes!"

Not long after hanging up the phone, Chen Xiao received information from An Zhong.

It was a street surveillance video. Although the cameras of this era were not very high-definition, they could still distinguish the general appearance of the Western faces.

"Huh~~"

Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. With this video, he at least had a clue that proved the possibility of infiltration and sabotage by foreign forces.

Otherwise, his eyes will be darkened and no evidence can be produced, and the iron hat will have to be placed on Chen Xiao's head.

After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Chen Xiao immediately called Lao Zhou.

Ten seconds later, Lao Zhou answered the call, his voice was a little hoarse, and he seemed to be smoking a lot.

"Hello?"

"Brother Zhou, we have evidence! A few days before the incident, a group of Westerners were active in a small town near the firecracker factory, and they were caught on surveillance video."

Lao Zhou suddenly became energetic, "Oh? Really? Have you got the video?"

"I got it, I've sent it to your personal email."

"Okay! Wait for my news."

After saying that, Lao Zhou hung up the phone and immediately turned on the computer.

Download and play.

After reading it, he leaned back in his chair and looked relaxed.

With this video, at least it proves that there is another possibility.

Lao Zhou immediately stopped hesitating, downloaded the file to a USB flash drive, put it in his briefcase, and hurried out of the dormitory.

It's still the same conference room as before, and it's still the same people.

On the projector, the surveillance video brought by Lao Zhou was played.

There was silence in the conference room.

"Let me tell you, everyone, after watching the video, what do you think?" Lao Zhou couldn't help but ask.

"It's a bit suspicious. In the suburbs of Qing City, a group of Westerners stayed for four or five days. They always felt that it had something to do with the firecracker factory."

"Hmph!" Lao He snorted coldly, "Everything must be based on evidence. Foreigners think outside the box and always act according to ordinary thinking. Maybe they like small towns? A surveillance video cannot prove anything at all, let alone

What’s more, it’s three kilometers away from the firecracker factory!”

"Lao He!" Lao Zhou said anxiously: "There is no surveillance on the road from that town to the firecracker factory, so there is no way to prove that they have not been there."

"That doesn't prove that they have been there!"

Lao Zhou was startled. Looking at the tough Lao He, he understood immediately.

For Lao He, the truth may not be important, what he values ​​​​is...

Selection at the beginning of the year for the unit.

Who is promoted and who is demoted is more important to him than anything else.

The atmosphere seemed to be frozen.

Two senior executives in the unit were fighting. The others wanted to smooth things over, but were afraid of attracting anger, so they simply chose to stay safe.

Chen Xiao and Lao Zhou have an irreconcilable relationship, which is well known in the unit.

So... He Pan really wants to make Chen Xiao's matter a reality.

Then Lao Zhou will definitely be implicated.

The selection at the beginning of the year was stable.

He Pan and Lao Zhou looked at each other, and they both understood each other's deepest thoughts.

There is no point in continuing the meeting.

After a long silence, Lao Zhou stood up first, and then others followed and left.

After everyone left, He Pan said to his secretary: "Handle this matter quickly, come up with the results as soon as possible, and give the victim an explanation!"

The secretary instantly understood what he meant.

"Yes! Then Chen Xiao..."

"check!"

...

Lao Zhou walked slowly along the trail alone, absently responding to the acquaintances who greeted him.

When you come to a quiet place, hesitate for a moment, then take out your phone.

"Hello? Xiao Chen."

Chen Xiao hurriedly asked: "How is it? Brother Zhou, can you prove that it was an external force that caused the sabotage?"

Lao Zhou pondered for a long time, it was hard for him to imagine how ruthless He Pan would do to the Tengxiao Group next.

Hearing Chen Xiao's expectant voice, he felt even more uncomfortable.

This young man obviously had the opportunity to travel overseas, but he resolutely risked his life and death to earn huge wealth overseas and then brought it back to China for development.

But now...

Do you really want to let him down?

"Brother Zhou? What did the workplace say?"

Lao Zhou came back to his senses and said calmly: "Ah, the unit is still organizing people to hold meetings to study the information you submitted. I think it is not a big problem. Just hold still and wait for further news from me."

After Chen Xiao heard this, he could only do what Lao Zhou said.

"Okay, I'll help you, Brother Zhou."

"You're welcome to me, I have a meeting soon, so let's do this first."

"Okay, you're busy."

...

After hanging up the phone, Lao Zhou put the phone into his pocket.

He raised his wrist and glanced at the slightly outdated old Shanghai watch, then turned around and walked out of the courtyard into the alley.

It was noon, and the smell of fireworks began to spread in the alley.

Lao Zhou walked into a small shop with ease and said, "Old man, let's fry two dishes and get a bottle of beef."

The cook in the store came out and took a look and said, "Lao Zhou, it's noon now. You won't be working in the afternoon?"

Lao Zhou waved his hand, "No way."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

"Okay, come over when you're done and let's have a drink."

"middle!"

...

After the cook finished cooking Lao Zhou's dishes, he called his apprentice over to take over. He carried the dishes and held the wine under his arm, and came to the opposite side of Lao Zhou, set up the food and wine, and sat down.

"Old Wang, are you done?"

"Hehehe, my little shabby shop is busy, but you seem to have something on your mind."

Lao Zhou smiled and said, "You still understand me."

Lao Wang poured the wine and said, "Brother Zhou, you have been busy for most of your life, and it's time to enjoy some peace and quiet."
