My name is Li Ming, I am 35 years old, I am an ordinary office worker.
"Ding—" The phone alarm went off at 7 a.m. on time, and I rolled over, reached out and pressed the annoying alarm.
"Sleep for another 5 minutes." I thought in a daze, and when I was about to go back to sleep, the gentle voice of my wife Yangmei came from me: "Honey, it's time to get up, it's time to be late for sleep."
I opened my eyes and saw that my wife was dressed and waking me up while she was packing breakfast.
"Got it, got it, I'll start it." I slowly rolled over and got out of bed, washed up, went to the table, ate the rice balls and milk prepared by my wife, and went out to get ready for work.
As soon as I arrived at the company, my colleague Xiao Wang came to me: "Hey, Li Ming, have you finished last week's report?" I came early in the morning to ask about the report.
I was confused and quickly thought back: "Last week's report... I'm sure it's already submitted for review. ”
Xiao Wang pouted: "I don't know what's going on, are you sure you submitted it?" ”
"Of course!" I nodded solemnly, "I also specially sent an email, let me see, it's already, it should be fine." ”
Xiao Wang frowned: "Then it seems that something is wrong." Let's confirm it again, so as not to be blamed when we get it.
Xiao Wang and I came to the office, knocked on the door and entered, and sat at the desk looking at the computer with a serious face.
I plucked up the courage to speak: "Did you receive the last week's report I submitted before?" ”
Raising his head, his face was still ugly: "What report?" I'm not impressed at all. ”
Xiao Wang and I looked at each other, and we both felt that the direction of things was a little strange...
I quickly opened my mailbox and found the report email submitted last week and forwarded it to. Frowning, he opened his phone and searched the mailbox.
"Hmm... Found it, I misremembered. Nodding, his face finally softened.
Xiao Wang and I both breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that it was just a memory error that startled us.
After dealing with this matter, I went back to my desk and sat down, remembering a strange incident I encountered last night.
I worked late yesterday, and my car was parked in the company's underground parking lot, and when I went down from the elevator to the parking lot, I felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.
Just as I walked to the side of the car and was about to open the door, I suddenly felt that someone behind me was watching me. I looked back in horror and saw that there was no one but long aisles and silent parking spaces.
I was sure I felt the sight in that moment, but I couldn't find anyone. I couldn't help but shiver, quickly started the car, stepped on the accelerator and sped away from the building.
When I got home, I still had palpitations. I described the strange incident to my wife, Yangmei, and she became worried: "Is the company parking lot haunted?" Or you won't work overtime at night, it's too dangerous.
I thought and nodded, "Maybe, I do feel something is wrong this time." ”
The next day, I still plucked up the courage to work late as usual, trying to verify the strange phenomenon of last night again.
At two o'clock in the morning, the company was empty. I took the elevator to the underground parking lot and looked around, but I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
Just as I was about to get on the bus, the elevator doors suddenly opened. I quickly hid sideways behind the car and looked warily at the elevator.
A masked man walked out of the elevator with steady steps, he was dressed in a black cloak and a black hood, and his face could not be seen clearly.
I held my breath, my heart was thundering, and the car keys in my hand were almost unsteady. I have never encountered such a scene in my life, and I can only pray that strangers leave quickly.
"Hey! What are you doing here! ”
I was so startled by this sudden shout that I almost cried out and covered my mouth tightly.
It turned out that it was the security aunt who came to patrol. She approached with a flashlight in hand, glancing suspiciously at the black-robed stranger.
The man was obviously also startled by the security aunt, hesitated, and then quickly walked into the elevator and left.
The security aunt frowned and muttered, "It's strange, what are you doing in the parking lot at night?" Wouldn't it be a thief? You have to tell the security office to step up night inspections.
I leaned back in the car and slowly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately a savior arrived in time, otherwise I might have encountered an accident.
When I went to work the next day, I told my colleague Xiao Wang about the adventure. He was also very surprised: "Oh my God, it's so scary!" You have to be careful, it's best not to work overtime at night, and don't go to the parking lot alone, it's too dangerous.
I nodded, it was indeed time to stop working overtime at night. I looked at the family photos on the table and thought that safety was the most important thing.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open by someone, and Zhao Lei, a young man new to the department, rushed in with a violent gasp.
"Leiko, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Wang asked with concern.
Xiao Wang and I looked at each other and hurriedly asked him for details. It turned out that the situation he described was exactly the same as what I encountered!.
"It seems that this matter is not over!" Xiao Wang frowned, "We must find a way to find out the purpose of that person, otherwise the people in the entire building will not be safe."
I took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to say, "Let's go to the parking lot for a few nights, and make sure to catch him!" ”
Although Xiao Wang and Zhao Lei were afraid, they agreed to my suggestion for everyone's safety. We found the suspicious person in the parking lot at night and eventually found him to be.
We found the suspicious person in the parking lot and eventually found out that he was a private investigator.
That night, Xiao Wang and Zhao Lei and I hid in the parking lot in advance and continued to observe the elevator entrance. Around 1 a.m., the man in the black hood reappeared.
"Don't move! Who are you? "I stopped in front of him and tried to get him to take off his hood.
The man raised his hand to stop me and whispered, "Misunderstood gentlemen, I am entrusted with a mission, not a bad person."
We watched warily as he pulled out a wallet from his arms, inside was a private investigator's license. We were relieved at this point, but still asked him about specific goals.
The man explained that he was commissioned by the owner of a company to monitor an employee suspected of colluding with competitors for a long time, and only after discovering that the target appeared here tonight would he conduct secret surveillance.
"So it is!" We all breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.
The detective also smiled, indicating that he understood our vigilance, but he would keep secrets and would not reveal the client's privacy.
Back home, I described the whole process to Arbutus. She was finally relieved: "Great, it's good that it's not a bad person, I almost called the police."
The next day at work, I also informed Xiao Wang and Zhao Lei of the results. They also breathed a sigh of relief, laughing that although they were afraid at the time, they also actively dealt with the bad guys.
Just as we were laughing, Xiao Liu, the secretary, hurriedly came to me: "Li Ming, you go to the office quickly, let you go immediately!" ”
I looked suspicious, not understanding why I was suddenly let go. Pushing open the door, I saw a serious face sitting at the table: "Li Ming, sit."
I sat down nervously and found two raw-faced men sitting in the room.
Shen Shen said: "Let's make an introduction, these two are Officer Li and Officer Wang, I want to find you to understand the situation last night."
I was confused and didn't understand why the police had come to me. At this moment, I suddenly remembered that the matter of private investigators cannot be said! I clenched my fists nervously, breaking out in a cold sweat.
I looked nervously at the two policemen opposite, wondering if they knew about the private investigator I met last night? But soon I put my mind at ease, because Officer Li said straight to the point:
"Mr. Li Ming, I came today to ask you, is Zhao Shuang, an employee of your company, familiar with you?"
I was relieved that it wasn't for last night. I pondered and replied: "Zhao Shuang, it is indeed our department, but the relationship is not very close, and it can only be regarded as a nodding friend."
Officer Wang continued: "Zhao Shuang is now brought back to the crime scene by us to investigate, and he is suspected of a major economic crime.
My eyes widened in surprise. Zhao Shuang seems to be a quiet person in Sven, but he is actually involved in economic crimes, which is unbelievable.
Officer Li nodded and asked me if I had noticed any signs of Zhao Shuang's recent abnormal behavior. I pondered for a while, then denied it.
The two policemen, seeing that I could not provide more information, were no longer embarrassed, and said that they would come to investigate if needed, and left.
Looking at me, he sighed: "I really didn't expect that Zhao Shuang seemed to be low-key, but he got into such a big case, and I had a good impression of him."
I was also very emotional. Zhao Shuang has been sitting at the workstation not far from me for many years, usually there is very little communication, and now he is suddenly implicated in a serious case, and I still can't react.
Back at the workstation, Xiao Wang and Zhao Lei were also discussing the matter enthusiastically. As Zhao Shuang's direct colleagues, they had a better impression of him, but they were also shocked by his involvement in the case.
"I worked late with Zhao Shuang last week, looking at his tired look, could it be that he was planning a crime at that time?" Xiao Wang speculated.
"Alas, perhaps the human heart is unpredictable, we must be vigilant and not be blinded by the surface." Zhao Lei sighed.
All three were silent. I suddenly felt that the world we live in is not as simple as I imagined. The difference between the surface and the inside is elusive.
The news of Zhao Shuang's involvement spread quickly within the company, and everyone talked about it, and I was pulled by colleagues to ask for details.
In this way, the days at work were spent more than a week amid a police investigation and the suspicion of colleagues. Unexpectedly, at this moment, an even more shocking news came - Zhao Shuang had died mysteriously! .
"What?! Zhao Shuang is dead?! The three of us widened our eyes in disbelief.
According to the information disclosed by the police, Zhao Shuang was found dead in his apartment, and there were no obvious signs of murder at the scene, but there was a small note on the balcony outside the window, which read, "I shouldn't have known all this."
"Oh my God, this is really involved in the underworld forces, it's just like an action movie plot." Xiao Wang said worriedly.
Zhao Lei and I were also uneasy, and the whole company was panicked. Everyone is speculating about what shocking secret Zhao Shuang has mastered, and he will be inexplicably silenced.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and I didn't expect to be involved in this big case. After saying goodbye to the police, I called Yangmei to report the situation, saying that I was in danger of being targeted recently, and hoped that she would strengthen her vigilance and not go out alone.
In the days that followed, I worked and lived with fear, fearing that I would be targeted. Finally, a month later, the news of the police solving the case came - the truth of the case was revealed, and everything was settled.
After a month of in-depth investigation by the police, they finally found the mastermind behind the scenes - it turned out to be the company's boss, Du Tianyuan.
After I provided the clues, the police quickly collected evidence and brought Du Tianyuan under control. Du Tianyuan realized that the general trend had passed, and finally confessed to all crimes.
"Great, the case has finally come to fruition!" When we learned the truth, we were thrilled.
Poor Zhao Shuang finally obtained Zhaoxue, and his family was rehabilitated. We are very emotional that a simple inquiry is involved in such a huge conspiracy, and the randomness of fate is chilling.
Du Tianyuan was eventually sentenced to prison for multiple crimes. Our company was also reshuffled and reorganized during the earthquake, and many hidden dangers and corruption were removed.
After the transfer, I was promoted to assistant general manager. After discussing with Arbutus, we decided to transfer the child to the best school in the city.
"Husband, I'm so proud of you! If you hadn't had the courage to provide clues, the case would have been dark for a long time.
I also feel that this case has made me grow a lot. I no longer believe in appearances, I learned to judge the situation, and I cherish my existing life more.
Thanks to this case for helping me hone and grow, I will strive to play a new role and continue to contribute to the development of the company.
I believe the future will be even better!
In the years following that disaster, I rose through the ranks in the company, growing from a small employee to a department manager.
The children all progressed to school with excellent grades.
I often think that if it weren't for the Zhao Shuang case, my life trajectory might not have changed, and I would still be the same small employee who knew nothing about the company's operation.
The wonder of life is here, and with a single thought, fate can diverge greatly. We must make prudent decisions at each selection point.
Looking back now, I can still clearly remember the nervousness when I gave testimony at the police station for the first time, and my heart beat faster when I confronted Du Tianyuan.
Now that I am an old qualification in the company, I often have juniors come to ask me about my experience in handling official affairs. I told them that integrity and integrity are the most important; Dare to show your sword in the face of power; Never let the treachery succeed.
This is also the deepest realization of my life. Even if the environment is dark, do that glimmer of light; Even if the power is small, we must summon more justice with a sense of justice.
Last night, I dreamed of Zhao Shuang again, and he smiled and nodded to me. I know he's there watching over us.
Life is short, we must encourage each other and make progress together. The world needs the light of kindness from everyone, even if it is only a faint candle.
