Chapter 73
Chapter 74:
HR’s small talk room is full of big Buddhas.
Huilin, this is an old acquaintance; besides, Liang Heng and Lao Ye are also there. When I entered the door, I nodded to Liang Heng as a greeting. I walked to the chair and stood for two seconds before turning from the side to the empty chair next to Huilin to sit down. I didn’t look at Jessica from start to finish. She sat motionless in the chair, not even the angle changed.
The air-conditioning in the office building is always too full. I put on my coat, and even though my knees were cold, she was sweating.
It seems to be very nervous.
No one spoke after I sat down, Huilin pushed the computer in front of me.
Jessica Tan and passers-by are very close, and there is no evidence that they can communicate with each other. Dismissal is definitely not possible, but judging from the data recovered so far, from time to time, she will send out some very strange documents of all kinds, not to mention that passer-by C does not need it, it is how she got it. You have to put a question mark.
Among the recovered deleted emails, there are even a large number of departmental meeting records. In informal meetings, we generally do not take written notes, which obviously can only be taken down by her herself.
The recipient is a private mail of passer-by C. This was confirmed during the investigation of passer-by C.
I took my hand away from the mouse and put it back on the armrest of the seat. The conversation room was very quiet, and these two light movements had obviously been captured by all the people present, but the tortured person in the center of the stage was firm as a stone, still bowing his head and thinking about his own passing.
It should be said that her head is buried lower. She might not dare to look at me.
I whispered: “Don’t you have anything you want to say?”
The silence in the air pulled each other for a while, and Jessica said, “I’m sorry.”
I raised my eyebrows. She obviously didn’t intend to speak any more, I got up, still walked to the position behind her, silently, gave Huilin a look.
She followed me out.
“Has the legal affairs come?” I handed her a glass of water.
“I have been here. They are off work. It doesn’t make much sense to stay here. I sent people home an hour ago.” Huilin took a sip and shrugged. “I know, the message she gave looks like It’s strange. Her colleagues in the legal department have tried to put pressure on her, but she seems to have decided. Even though I have spoken about the possibility of criminal punishment seriously, Jessica Tan still insists that no one else is involved.”
“Has Liang Heng checked her computer? Including her mobile phone?”
“Of course. Heng stayed here because of this.” Huilin looked serious and shook her head, “We didn’t find anything.”
I threw the empty water glass into the trash can and put on the mask again: “It’s useless to scare her, probably because someone pointed it out. She knows that this is not enough to get her into jail, and of course she won’t be bluffed. Change position.”
Hui Lin frowned suddenly: “Who would do that?”
“Her accomplice.”
Obviously, this terrible guess had already been entangled in Huilin’s heart. She heard me say that, as if she had been hit, her expression froze for a moment, and she was so complicated that it was difficult to discern. I didn’t speak any more, if she had an accomplice, who would this be?
Me, Huang, Kevin, or the boss.
Lao Huang has a low risk and a high degree of trust. Without evidence, I will not be a key suspect. Taking into account that the information is sent from our side to the European department, if passer-by C and Kevin reach some kind of agreement in private, then it is normal for Jessica to transfer the information, and the ultimate recipient is Kevin. . Coupled with the incident of passer-by C, he was originally suspected of being difficult to wash away, and it was logical to think of him at this moment.
But the company took the boss’s computer first. Even for this, the big boss personally cooperated.
Just to scare him?
It’s not April Fool’s Day.
“I heard Benjamin say that you went to find him earlier today, and then I knew you were still in the company.” Hui Lin said suddenly.
I understood what she meant, and explained: “The people in the IT center came to collect Rudra’s computer. When have you seen them come/door service?”
There was a faint smile on her face: “That requires you to be sharp enough.”
“You asked me to come over. Is there anything I need to cooperate with?” I cut to the point. “My experience in the field of employee investigation is quite limited. I am afraid it is difficult to share the worries for professionals like you.”
Huilin smiled and shook her head: “You will obviously be very helpful to our work, Yao. In your opinion, are there any areas that are missing in the current investigation? Especially… the investigation of related personnel? aspect.”
“Uh—” I looked at her, but didn’t answer.
“Please.” Huilin said, “Try to provide us with some inspiration.”
As if compromised, I loosened my tight shoulders and said helplessly: “Okay. I will write you a list.”
Liang Heng seemed to be really idle, and personally started the restoration of chat records and some related files, comparing them one by one from the top to the bottom of the list I made. Now it’s eight o’clock in the evening, and Lao Ye has withdrawn. Only the three of us and a few employees from the HR department are left. Jessica “offs get off work” at nine o’clock. I don’t know anything about it today. I will report to the chat room tomorrow.
I wrote a few names casually, and the only important ones are Kevin and An Ning. As for the boss, I didn’t put it on the list, but even if I didn’t do this, their doubts about him would not be dispelled so easily.
We still got nothing until we got off work.
File recovery, according to Liang Heng’s introduction, is not difficult, but it is indeed time-consuming. In this case, Jessica’s computer needs to be detained in the HR department, and relevant investigators cannot take it away at will. Liang Heng didn’t go with us. He stayed at the company and worked overtime. He made an appointment with me to have lunch together at noon tomorrow. I know that he might be going to talk about what he had asked him before: But it has only been a day, does he already have a score there?
I felt a little strange in my heart. Yes, because the CTO and the chief scientist are constraining each other, Chief Liang is obviously not a person who is obsessed with management. He is indeed more-leisurely. But no matter what, this matter won’t make him condescend. So does Huilin. Just ask a soldier to come over. Why should the Buddha come and condescend to her, she really dared to welcome her to the temple?
Together with my thoughts, I can’t calm down anymore. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Huilin doesn’t ask Liang Heng to move. Since Liang Heng takes the shot, if it is not because he is interested, it is mostly entrusted by others.
After all, how could passer-by C track down Jessica Tan? I found it more convincing than this, because we were in contact just a week before he was fired, and the exchange of information was based on the data of the Philippines project.
No, no, what am I missing?
To confirm the authenticity of the data, passer-by C is the first person to contact passer-by B. Judging from the evidence that has been obtained so far, he has also maintained quite frequent and long-term contact with Jessica, but obviously, their contact content does not include the data of the Philippines three years ago-Jessica is clearly also in the Philippines project Group, passer-by C is asking for farther away.
Why?
What’s even more bizarre is that Jessica also made a large number of department meeting minutes privately and sent them to passer-by C. This information may have a certain value to the people of BCG: I am not saying that it is impossible for passer-by C to provide BCG with these things-Jessica has been doing this since the middle of last year.
Could it be that BCG was ready to enter the venue at that time? Miss Pan De was probably not a partner at the time. According to information on LinkedIn, she had been promoted as a partner for less than a year.
From this point of view, Jessica Tan, as an inner ghost, undoubtedly has been deeply involved in our department for a long time. The second job she took was more like the result of an internal struggle within the company. As for whether it was involved in the secret struggle between the conglomerate’s direct line and the founder’s faction, it’s hard to say.
The daily meetings of our department are nothing more than reviewing the progress of various projects every week, discussing current problems, negotiating resource allocation, and trivial matters about team building. Assuming that the time is stretched to a year, in the last twelve months, to whom does this information make sense? Who will be interested in them?
My eyes narrowed slightly. Jessica never said anything, and everything happened to be on the bottom line, there must be an expert behind him-who else could this expert be? Who in the company would do this?
Our old friend, Kevin.
He is everywhere, and those who can do more work, nothing more than that.
My instinct was fulfilled again, but at this moment I didn’t dare to relax at all. From passer-by C to Jessica, there is no reason at all. Now that it is guessed that the person behind it may be Kevin, this obvious unnaturalness cannot be ignored at will. Who is he? He is a senior consultant, delicate and bold, and the most good at attacking the heart. After he has broken down, how can he fail one after another when he learns the lesson and is more cautious? If the results of the restoration of the documents come out, it proves that Anning is involved, the logic chain is complete, and the colleagues in charge of the investigation, the recent hard work will have results; but if there is no peace…
Rather than track down Jessica from passerby C, it is better to say that someone detonated the landmine of Jessica Tan, and the investigation was pushed all the way from Jessica to passerby C.
They are not the ones who have done meritorious service.
The more I think about it, the more I feel chilled: because this is most likely true. Several encounters in recent months have made me clearly realize that Kevin is by no means a passive person. If you smell the smell of meat on the street, ordinary people think which household cooks the food, but I don’t dare to think so. Taking Kevin to take one step to see the number of three steps, when you just smell the meat, you have to make full preparations, and you must not act rashly.
Because his banquet is probably already set up, only waiting for me to go to the party, bleeding and cheering.
