HR's small talking room is full of big Buddhas.

Hui Lin, 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, walked to the chair, stood there for two seconds, then turned from the side to the empty chair next to Hui Lin and sat down, without looking at Jessica from the beginning to the end.She sat motionless in the chair, not even changing the angle.

The air conditioner in the office building is always turned on too high. I put on my coat and my knees were cold, but she was sweating.

It seems very tense.

No one spoke after I sat down, Hui Lin pushed the computer in front of me.

Jessica Tan and Passerby C have a close relationship, and they communicate with each other, and the evidence is solid.There is definitely no way to get fired, but judging from the data recovered so far, from time to time, she will send out some very strange documents, of various types, not to mention whether passer-by C is useful or not, 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 minutes.In informal meetings, we generally do not take written notes, which obviously can only be written down by herself.

The recipient is a private email from passer-by C.This has been confirmed during the investigation of Passerby C.

I take my hand off the mouse and put it back on the armrest of the chair.The conversation room was very quiet, and the two light movements had obviously been captured by all the people present, but the prisoner in the center of the stage, as determined as a rock, still bowed his head and meditated on his own past.

It should be said that her head was buried even lower.I'm afraid she can't look at me.

I whispered, "Don't you have anything to say?"

The silence in the air tugged at each other for a while, and Jessica said, "I'm sorry."

I raised my eyebrows.She obviously didn't intend to speak any more, so I got up, walked to the position behind her, kept silent, and gave Hui Lin a look.

She followed me out.

"Has the legal officer been here?" I handed her a glass of water.

"I've been here. They're already off work. It doesn't make much sense to stay here. I sent people home an hour ago." Hui Lin took a sip and shrugged. "I know, the information she gave seems to be Weird. The legal colleagues have tried to put pressure on her, but she seems to have made up her mind. Even though I have also seriously discussed the possibility of criminal punishment, Jessica Tan still insists that no one else is implicated.”

"Has Liang Heng checked her computer? Including her mobile phone?"

"Of course. That's why Heng stayed here." Hui Lin 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 these are not enough to send her to jail, and of course she won't be bluffed." Change your position."

Hui Lin frowned suddenly: "Who would do that?"

"Her partner."

This terrible guess has obviously been lingering in Hui Lin's mind for a long time. When she heard what I said, she felt as if she had been hit.I didn't say anything more. If she has an accomplice, who is this person?

Me, Lao Huang, Kevin, or the boss.

Lao Huang's risk is low, and I have a high degree of trust. Without evidence, I will not become a major suspect.Considering that the information is given to the European department from our side, if passer-by C and Kevin have reached some kind of agreement in private, then it is normal for Jessica to transfer the information, and the final recipient is Kevin .Coupled with the matter of passer-by C, he had already been suspected of being difficult to wash away, so it is logical to think of him now.

But the company took away the boss's computer first.Even for this point, the big boss personally cooperated.

Just to frighten him?

It's not April Fool's Day.

"I heard from Benjamin that you went to look for him earlier today, and that's how I knew you were still in the company." Hui Lin said suddenly.

I understood what she meant, and explained: "The people from the IT center came to collect Rudra's computer. When did you see them come to/door service?"

There was a faint smile on her face: "That also requires you to be sharp enough."

"You asked me to come here, is there anything I need to cooperate with?" I cut to the chase, "My experience in the field of employee surveys is quite limited, and I'm afraid it's hard to share the worries of professionals like you."

Hui Lin 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 relevant personnel aspect."

"Uh—" I looked at her, but didn't answer.

"Please." Hui Lin said, "Try to give us some inspiration."

As if I had compromised, my tense shoulders relaxed, and I said helplessly, "Okay. I will write you a list."

Liang Heng seemed to be really busy, so he started to restore the chat records and some related files by himself, comparing them with the list I made one by one from top to bottom.Now it's eight o'clock in the evening, and Lao Ye has withdrawn, leaving only the three of us together with a few staff from the HR department. Jessica "off work" at nine o'clock. If I don't explain clearly today, I will report to the interview room tomorrow.

I just wrote a few names indiscriminately, 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, their suspicion of him would not be dispelled so easily.

By the time we got off work, we still had nothing.

File recovery, according to Liang Heng, is not difficult, but it is time-consuming.In this case, Jessica's computer needs to be detained in the HR department, and the relevant investigators cannot take it away at will.Liang Heng didn't go with us, stayed in the company to work overtime, and made an appointment with me for lunch tomorrow.I know that he might want to talk about the things that were entrusted to him earlier: But it's only been a day, does he already have a score?

I feel a little strange in my heart.Yes, because the CTO and the Chief Scientist hinder each other, and Chief Liang is obviously not a person who is obsessed with management. He is indeed relatively leisurely.But no matter what, this matter will not make him condescend, Hui Lin is the same, just invite a small soldier to come over, why does the Buddha want to condescend to her, she really dares to greet her in the temple?

With this thought, I can no longer calm down.If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Hui Lin couldn't invite Liang Heng. Since Liang Heng made the move, if it wasn't because he was interested, it was probably entrusted by others.

After all, how did Passerby C track down Jessica Tan?I found it more convincing than this, because we were still in touch just a week before he was fired, and the information exchange revolved around the data of the Philippine project.

No, no, what am I missing?

In order to confirm the authenticity of the data, Passerby C contacted Passerby B first.Judging from the evidence obtained so far, he also kept in frequent and long-term contact with Jessica, but obviously, the content of their contacts did not include the data from the Philippines three years ago—Jessica was clearly also in the Philippine project Group, Passerby C is looking far away.

why?

What's even more unbelievable is that Jessica also made a lot of departmental meeting minutes in private and sent them to passers-by.This information may be of some value to the people at BCG: I'm not saying that it's impossible for Passerby C to provide BCG with these things--Jessica has been doing this since the middle of last year.

Could it be that BCG is ready to enter at that time?Ms. Pan De was probably not a partner at the time. According to the information on LinkedIn, she had not been promoted to a partner for less than a year.

From this point of view, Jessica Tan, as an insider, has undoubtedly been in our department for a long time.The second job she took is more like the result of internal struggles in the company. As for whether it is involved in the open and secret struggle between the direct line of the group and the founder's faction, it is hard to say.

The daily meetings of our department are nothing more than reviewing the progress of various projects every week, discussing current difficulties, negotiating resource allocation, and trivial matters such as what to do in team building.Assuming that the time is extended to one year, for whom is this information meaningful in the last twelve months?Who would be interested in them?

I narrowed my eyes slightly.Jessica refuses to speak, everything happens to be on the bottom line, there must be an expert behind her - who else is this expert?Who in the company would do that?

Our old friend, Kevin.

He can be seen everywhere, and those who are capable will do more work, but that's it.

My intuition came true again, but I dare not relax at this moment.Finding Jessica from passer-by C made no sense at all.Now that he guessed that the person behind it might be Kevin, such obvious unnaturalness cannot be ignored at will.Who is he?With a high-level background in consulting, he is delicate and bold, and he is the best at attacking the heart. Now that he has failed, it is time to learn from the pain and be more cautious, so how can he retreat one after another?If the results of file restoration come out tomorrow, it proves that An Ning is involved and the logical chain is complete, and the colleagues in charge of the investigation, the recent hard work will be considered as a result; but if there is no An Ning...

Rather than tracking down Jessica from Passerby C, it would be better to say that someone detonated Jessica Tan's mine, and the investigation went all the way from Jessica to Passerby C.

They are not the ones who have done the work.

The more I think about it, the more chilling I feel: because it is very likely to be true.Several confrontations 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 that some household cooked the food, but I dare not think so.Take Kevin's step-by-step and three-step approach, when he first smells the smell of meat, he has to be fully prepared, and he must not act rashly.

For his banquet may well have been set, and it is only waiting for me to go to the meeting and bleed for fun.
