Chapter 153 The Mysterious Witness
Jiang Yang and Chu Lan then arrived at the factory.
At this moment, the roar of the machines in the factory was gone, and all the production workers had gathered here.
The somber atmosphere was instantly broken when the workers saw Jiang Yang appear.
They surrounded Jiang Yang and started discussing it amongst themselves.
"Director Jiang! You have to stand up for us!"
"Yes! This matter can't just be left like this!"
"We must find that bastard who poisoned us!"
Most of the workers looked indignant.
The products they worked so hard to produce were poisoned; this was tantamount to ruining their livelihood!
A few individuals also expressed strong dissatisfaction with the company's practice of forcibly confining everyone here.
"Director Jiang, why are we all locked up here? We haven't broken any laws!"
"Exactly! We need to go home for dinner!"
"What time is it? Why can't we leave?"
……
Jiang Yang stood in the middle of the noisy crowd and shouted, "I understand everyone's feelings! However, the situation is special now, and we must take extraordinary measures!"
The workers' voices gradually subsided as they looked at Jiang Yang, waiting for his explanation.
"I know everyone has grievances and dissatisfaction. But please trust me and trust the company; we will definitely give you an explanation!"
"The police are currently investigating this case with all their might. I believe the truth will be revealed soon!"
Jiang Yang paused for a moment, then continued, "Once the police find the suspect, Manager Chu and I will definitely find a way to compensate everyone!"
compensate?
The workers' eyes lit up.
These days, no one has it easy, so getting some compensation is always a good thing.
"in addition……"
Jiang Yang raised his voice and encouraged, "If anyone can provide clues to help the police solve the case, the company will give a generous reward!"
These words softened the workers' expressions considerably.
Although some people were still grumbling, at least no one jumped out to directly challenge Jiang Yang anymore.
After all, Jiang Yang and Chu Lan had always treated everyone well, with salaries among the best in the region and additional benefits during holidays. Now that something had happened, and Jiang Yang had assured everyone that compensation would be provided, most people were willing to believe him.
Jiang Yang continued, "I'm staying in my office today, I'm not going anywhere. Anyone who knows any clues can come to me anytime! Remember, anytime!"
After saying that, he turned around and took Chu Lan back to his office.
Wu Yong quickly followed, and the three met up again.
"Jiang Yang, your ability to soothe people is far superior to mine!"
As soon as Wu Yong entered the room, he gave Jiang Yang a thumbs up.
"Director Wu, you flatter me. This is the only way I could do it." Jiang Yang shook his head with a wry smile.
"The most important thing now is to find the person who poisoned us as soon as possible!"
"Don't worry, I've already arranged for people to conduct surprise interrogations of those key suspects. I believe we'll have results soon," Wu Yong said confidently.
"Once they open their mouths, we can follow the clues and find out who's behind this!"
Jiang Yang nodded, but his brows remained furrowed.
He always felt that things were not that simple.
This poisoning incident was clearly premeditated, and the target was clearly his factory.
But who could it be?
Competitor?
Or is there a mole inside the factory?
For a moment, he couldn't come up with a solution.
Besides finding the person who poisoned the food, there was another matter that Jiang Yang found troublesome.
That's a safety issue at the factory.
This incident served as a wake-up call for him.
He must find a way to strengthen security measures at the factory to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
But in this day and age, it's practically a pipe dream for an individual to install a surveillance system.
He recalled that it wasn't until the mid-1980s that some simple surveillance equipment began to appear in China, and most of them were imported from abroad, making them expensive and unaffordable for ordinary people.
It seems that hoping to purchase a surveillance system through official channels is out of the question for now.
Jiang Yang turned his gaze to Wu Yong and said carefully, "Director Wu, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor."
"Jiang Yang, just say the word!" Wu Yong said, patting his chest. "As long as it's something I, Wu Yong, can do, I will never refuse!"
"I'd like to install a surveillance system in the factory. Do you have any ideas on how to do that?" Jiang Yang asked bluntly.
"Monitoring system?"
Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Jiang Yang to make such a request.
"This thing is not easy to get!"
"I knew it wouldn't be easy, that's why I came to you!" Jiang Yang said with a smile.
"Director Wu, you work in the public security system and have seen a lot. You must have a better way than me."
"You know what, even we police have only just started to get involved with this surveillance system."
Wu Yong scratched his head and said somewhat awkwardly.
"As far as I know, the surveillance equipment currently used in our country is all imported from the United States, and the price is frighteningly high. Moreover, the quantity is very small, and it is mainly used in some important departments."
"Imported from the United States?" Jiang Yang's eyes lit up.
"Director Wu, do you know anyone in this field? Could you help me make the connection?"
"Well..."
Wu Yong hesitated for a moment before saying, "I personally don't have much contact with people in this field. However, if you really need it, I can go back and inquire for you to see if there are any connections."
The two discussed countermeasures, exchanging words as they tried to find a breakthrough.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the doorway.
A man dressed as a worker was standing at the door, peeking into the office.
This scene was witnessed by Chu Lan, who had been keeping an eye on the movements outside the door.
She immediately called out, "Old Qian? What are you doing standing at the door? Is something wrong?"
The worker called Lao Qian visibly trembled and almost turned and ran away.
"Come in, Lao Qian, is something the matter?" Chu Lan called out again.
Old Qian finally came in, albeit reluctantly.
His gaze swept back and forth between Jiang Yang, Wu Yong, and Chu Lan. His lips moved a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Yang got up without saying a word, walked to the door, and closed the office door.
This subtle movement allowed Lao Qian's tense nerves to relax slightly.
"Old Qian, do you know something? Is it related to the toxic clothes in the factory?"
Jiang Yang walked back to Lao Qian's side and said softly.
"Just say what you want to say. There are no outsiders here, and the three of us will keep it a secret for you!"
"No matter what clues you provide, as long as they help the case, I'll give you a private reward! And it will be done secretly, so you'll never be exposed!"
