Chapter 58 You've Been Doubting My Identity for So Long Ning Weidong looked at Chu Zhongxin strangely. The other party's attitude was quite unusual. Chu Zhongxin didn't let him guess, and smiled and said, "Is your brother Ning Weiguo, and is your sister-in-law Wang Yuzhen?" Ning Weidong's heart moved and he nodded. Chu Zhongxin said: "Wang Yuzhen is my cousin, and my mother is her second aunt." Ning Weidong suddenly realized, no wonder. Given this relationship, Chu Zhongxin’s behavior is not surprising. However, Ning Weidong was also cautious because Wang Yuzhen did not tell him about this relationship in advance. Ning Weidong called him brother in a superficial manner, but he was still a little wary in his heart and planned to go home and ask about it in the evening. After explaining their relationship, Ning Weidong and Chu Zhongxin got along more casually. They rode their bikes to the family quarters near the factory. These were all built in the 1950s, during the period of aid construction by Sulian.
Liu Xinwen is a technician who has been to college, has cadre status, and lives in a decent-quality housing. There is a corridor at the entrance, with two houses on the left and right. After entering the house, there is a utility room on the left, a kitchen on the right, and a large room inside, with a suite inside. This design originally used the main house as a living room, and the small suite inside as a bedroom. But later, because of the large population, most residents built kangs directly in the big house. There was no such thing in Liu Xinwen's house. Entering the main house was a living room with a sofa and a TV. It was clean and tidy, and looked quite grand in that era. When Ning Weidong and Chu Zhongxin arrived, it was hard to tell that someone had just died in the family. In the past few years, due to some circumstances, people paid attention to keeping everything simple at weddings and funerals. Although times have changed now, grand celebrations are rarely held. It will take a few more years for this trend to take hold. I came into the house and saw Liu Hong'e. The former factory beauty, a young woman who is just thirty years old, has red and swollen eyes. She is accompanied by a woman who looks 70% alike. She is said to be the eldest sister. After the introduction, several people sat down. I don’t know if it’s because of Chu Zhongxin’s uniform, but the two women felt a little awkward. In this era, the identity of public security is still very intimidating. Even though Liu Hong'e has some vision, she is unwilling to deal with people in the public sector. Ning Weidong was responsible for taking notes, and the others did not interrupt. Chu Zhongxin didn't ask anything special, just some routine questions. Finally, he said his condolences and left. When they got outside and took the key to open the bicycle, Chu Zhongxin suddenly asked, "Weidong, what do you think of Liu Xinwen's death?" Ning Weidong was stunned. He didn't expect Chu Zhongxin to suddenly ask him. He smiled and said, "Brother, how can I understand this~" Chu Zhongxin pushed his bicycle forward and cursed, "You're a slippery guy." Ning Weidong was puzzled. Since he met Chu Zhongxin this morning, he had never played any tricks. Chu Zhongxin asked, "Did you see Liu Xinwen a few nights ago?"
Ning Weidong was stunned. He didn't expect that Chu Zhongxin actually knew this. Ever since he learned that Liu Xinwen was dead, Ning Weidong realized that the fact that Liu Xinwen went to find Xu Jinshan in a threatening manner a few days ago was very valuable. The reason I didn't say it was that I felt the time was not right. He originally planned to talk to Li Peihang about the situation this afternoon and see how the other party would react. Who knew that Chu Zhongxin had revealed it first? Ning Weidong's mind raced. Only four people knew about this. Liu Xinwen was dead. Besides him, only Xu Jinshan and Wang Yong knew about it. This situation is obviously very unfavorable to Xu Jinshan... Could it be Wang Yong? Ning Weidong smiled, looking a little embarrassed, scratching his head and said, "Brother, you know everything~ I'm not hiding it from you. I'm planning to go home tonight and ask my sister-in-law." In fact, with Ning Weidong's level of skill, he wouldn't feel embarrassed or guilty about this at all. It is difficult to achieve anything if you are simply thick-skinned and black-hearted. Even if you succeed, it will be short-lived and will not last long. But if you are too thin-skinned, it will also be a shackle that restricts people. Before Ning Weidong traveled through time, there was a new term called mental exhaustion. If you are too thin-skinned, you will easily suffer from mental exhaustion. Chu Zhongxin couldn't help but smile after hearing such a straightforward explanation: "After all this fuss, you are doubting my identity." Ning Weidong chuckled, which was considered as his agreement. Chu Zhongxin was not angry at all. Instead, he nodded in appreciation: "Yes, there is no evidence. Of course, I can't be sure of it just by my words." Ning Weidong remained silent and did not believe the other party's frankness. Anyway, this matter must be discussed after meeting Wang Yuzhen. Chu Zhongxin didn't say much, he got on his bike and said, "Let's go to Wang Hong's house." Wang Hong's family also lives in a residential area, but the housing conditions are obviously a level lower than Liu Xinwen's. The two bungalows, with a total area of 40 square meters, are home to six or seven people, including Wang Hong and his wife, his mother, and three children. Ning Weidong and Chu Zhongxin knocked on the door and came in. They could clearly feel that this family was filled with worry. From the current perspective, theoretically, this accident has little to do with Wang Hong. After all, he discovered the abnormality in advance and reported it twice. The accident eventually occurred because something went wrong when Liu Xinwen was handling the situation. But...Liu Xinwen is dead! Wang Hong seemed quite anxious. He was standing nearby when the accident happened. He saw with his own eyes that Liu Xinwen was twisted into the machine and even had blood sprayed on his face on the spot. However, his wife managed to behave herself somewhat properly. She invited Ning Weidong and Chu Zhongxin to sit down, and even washed the cups and poured them two cups of hot water. "Comrades, there is no tea at home. Please bear with it." Two cups were placed in front of Ning Weidong and Chu Zhongxin. The words "Advanced Producer" were written on the cups in red pen, and there was a big word "Award". Chu Zhongxin thanked him and looked at Wang Hong, saying in a deep voice: "Comrade Wang Hong, please recall the situation carefully and don't ignore the details." Ning Weidong got used to it and took out a notebook to start taking notes.
Wang Hong sighed, his frowning brows looking like they could pinch a fly to death: "It was the day before yesterday when I first noticed something was wrong with the machine. I've worked in the second workshop for more than ten years, and I know what the machine is making better than anyone else..." Wang Hong babble on and on, and he could express himself fluently at the beginning, but then he started to talk incoherently. Chu Zhongxin was extremely patient. Not only did he listen carefully, he also gave reminders from time to time. It was not until yesterday afternoon that Wang Hong found that the machine was not functioning properly again, so he went to find Liu Xinwen... At this point, Wang Hong seemed extremely frustrated: "It's all my fault! If I hadn't dragged Technician Liu over, if we were two minutes later, if... maybe this wouldn't have happened, Technician Liu wouldn't have died, I..." Wang Hong sat on a chair, his elbows resting on his knees, and he covered his face with his hands in pain. Wang Hong's wife was anxious: "Old Wang, what are you talking about? What do you mean it's all your fault? Who do you do? Why do you take all the blame on yourself?" Then she looked at Chu Zhongxin and Ning Weidong and said, "Two leaders, you are here, we have to seek truth from facts. Liu Xinwen is a technician and a college graduate. He is very capable. Our old Wang is just a rough man. He can't do anything except tinkering with the machine according to his master's teachings. Tell me, if he finds that there is a problem with the machine, who should he find if not the technician? What should he do?" (End of this chapter)
