Chapter 263 Good intentions? Or ulterior motives?
"Have you checked whether Qiu Tiemao's case involves other reasons?" Li Yuanlang asked.
"I have checked, but there are no results. I just focused on the issue of Qiu Tie risking hooking up with a married woman. I couldn't find anything else." Luo Yang was very sure, with clear and bright eyes.
"It's up to you to follow up on this case, pay attention to the methods, and investigate secretly. At the same time, you must protect yourself, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand." Luo Yang stood up and said goodbye. Li Yuanlang looked at the time and it was almost time. Xie Ke had already called him and made an appointment. Li Yuanlang only needed to call him after get off work in the evening to shock him.
Li Yuanlang packed up and walked out of the county party committee building. As soon as he stepped down the steps, he saw the Passat assigned to him drive steadily and parked next to him.
The driver, Lao Zhang Ma, slipped out of the car, opened the back door and asked Li Yuanlang to get in.
Li Yuanlang waved his hand: "Master Zhang, I don't need the car tonight because I have something to do. You can do whatever you want."
"Secretary Li, where are you going?" Lao Zhang couldn't help but ask.
Li Yuanlang was a little unhappy. The whereabouts of the leader was not a matter that the driver should be concerned about. There was no need to inquire. Who hasn't ordered free space yet? Or in their spare time after get off work.
He suppressed his dissatisfaction and responded calmly: "Master Zhang, do your job well and go back to spend time with your family as soon as possible."
The implication is to warn him that he should ask what he should ask, and it is best not to ask what he shouldn't.
Lao Zhang also realized that he had lost his words for a moment, smiled awkwardly, closed the car door and drove quickly out of Li Yuanlang's sight.
This Lao Zhang, Li Yuanlang thought of Han Wei, and he really wanted to transfer Han Wei over, but Han Wei was already engaged to Xinrui, and the wedding was scheduled for the National Day, and he sent a separate invitation to Li Yuanlang.
Xinrui applied for the civil service in Shuiming Township, while Han Wei stayed in Shuiming Township. The newlyweds met frequently, which helped their relationship to sublimate. When they were happy, the whole next generation came out. How could Li Yuanlang transfer Han Wei and let the two families live separately?
, taste the pain of separation.
Even if Han Wei offered to transfer him, Li Yuanlang couldn't bear it, so he could only put the matter aside for the time being.
Li Yuanlang rang Xie Ke's cell phone. Immediately, Xie Ke responded to his message and asked him to wait for him at the bus stop next to the county committee. He arrived soon after.
Li Yuanlang strolled out of the county party committee compound and walked to the bus stop. It was the rush hour after get off work, and the bus stop was full of pedestrians waiting for the bus.
At this time, he saw behind the stop sign a sultry boy with a childish look on his face. He was smoking a cigarette and threatening the same two men and a woman wearing school uniforms and carrying backpacks.
say.
Because they were not far apart, he could basically hear clearly the conversation between the three people. The angry male student wanted money from two people, a boy and a girl. When the boy refused to give it, the angry boy glared and shouted: "Five yuan per person, Ma Liu will give it."
Do you know who my eldest brother is? I'll scare you to death if I tell you, my eldest brother is the second master!"
When the girl heard the title "Second Master", her face turned pale with fright, and she quickly poked the boy next to her. The boy was also surprised, and reluctantly took out ten yuan from his pocket and gave it to the arrogant male student.
The angry man put the money into his pocket with satisfaction, whistled and walked away.
Second Master? Who is this person? Why are the elementary school students so scared after hearing this?
A series of questions were embedded in Li Yuanlang's mind. He wanted to rush to stop it, but just as the bus was coming, two students, a boy and a girl, got on the bus. The arrogant boy was nowhere to be seen, so he had to give up.
At this moment, a taxi drove up next to him, with the back seat window open, and Xie Ke waved to him from inside, gesturing to get in the car.
Li Yuanlang didn't think twice and sat next to Xie Ke. The taxi driver stepped on the accelerator and drove out.
While the taxi was driving, Xie Ke glanced at the back of the car in a serious manner, chuckled, and said, "Hey, there's a tail following me."
Li Yuanlang looked through the rearview mirror and saw a black car less than two cars away from the taxi. He followed him slowly. Looking at the car plate again, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
When the taxi turned onto another street, he asked the driver to pull over, then opened the door and walked out. The black car saw him approaching with his hands behind his back and had to stop.
Li Yuanlang walked to the driver's seat. The driver lowered the window, revealing an honest and honest face, and the forced smile looked forced and unnatural.
"Master Zhang, I said you don't need a car, why do you keep following me?" The car being followed was Lao Zhang's car, which was also the black Passat assigned to Li Yuanlang.
Lao Zhang awkwardly explained that the car was broken down and he was going to repair it.
This explanation is so far-fetched that even Lao Zhang himself probably wouldn't believe it. Why didn't he repair the car earlier? Why did he choose to repair the car in the evening after get off work, on the same route as Li Yuanlang's car? How could it be such a coincidence?
Li Yuanlang said nothing with a cold face, and glared at Lao Zhang fiercely. His sharp eyes made Lao Zhang restless. He turned the steering wheel and walked away from the taxi.
Sitting back, Li Yuanlang asked Xie Ke in a low voice: "Is that man you saw this morning Lao Zhang?"
" nbsp;"It doesn't look like it. Lao Zhang is almost fifty. How can he be so nimble and disappear in a flash?"
Li Yuanlang felt that it made sense, but Lao Zhang's unusual behavior tonight made him very wary. This person was clearly spying on him. If that person was not him in the morning, it meant that at least two people were very interested in his every move.
Interesting, I don’t know who sent that person this morning. Who is the mastermind behind Lao Zhang?
Since the taxi was a public place, Li Yuanlang couldn't ask Xie Ke more. He leaned his head on the seat and squinted his eyes without saying a word, pretending to be asleep.
The taxi drove a long way and stopped in a large courtyard on the edge of the county town. The big characters "Farmhouse Live Fish House" slowly glowed in the setting sun.
"The fish cooked here is delicious and can be eaten in a variety of ways. The most important thing is that it is fresh. The live fish is slaughtered and cooked right now. It is very authentic." Xie Ke led Li Yuanlang inside.
There are many cars parked in the yard, and a row of bungalows serve as halls and private rooms for guests. On one side are kitchens and warehouses, and on the other side are occupied prefabricated houses.
When I walked into the hall, I saw that it was crowded with people, the seats were full, and the sound of talking and drinking could be heard all the time. It was very lively.
Xie Ke had already reserved a private room and was led in by the waiter. There was a round table with a large iron pot recessed in the middle. The main dishes here are fish pots. If you don’t order fish pot, you can order other dishes. On top of the fish pot
Just lay a board to cover the iron pot and place vegetables on it.
"How about we order a fish pot and some side dishes?" Xie Ke and Li Yuanlang discussed.
"It's up to you to do whatever you want." Li Yuanlang saw that there was an air conditioner in the room. Even if the fish pot was steaming, the air conditioner could cool down the temperature, so there would be no need to sweat.
Xie Ke agreed and arranged a special fish pot and four kinds of side dishes to go with wine. Since he drinks, there will be no shortage of drinks, so he specially ordered the local Xiwu Daqu, 52 degrees. Nowadays, when drinking, I drink high-altitude white wine, low
The high-alcohol alcoholic beverages are mostly blended wines, which may harm the body and cause headaches. The high-alcohol wines are mostly brewed from grains and will not cause high-alcohol alcohol.
When the waiter went out, only Li Yuanlang and Xie Ke were left in the private room. Xie Ke handed Li Yuanlang a cigarette. Li Yuanlang took it and did not speak immediately. He looked around the private room. Xie Ke immediately understood and told him: "Don't worry.
There’s nothing else here, I come here often and I’m familiar with the boss.”
Li Yuanlang nodded. He had only arrived in Xiwu County for a few days, but he was already being monitored and followed. He had to be more careful and alert. There was no harm in the end.
Chatting with Xie Ke, Li Yuanlang asked about the driver Lao Zhang.
Xie Ke said that Lao Zhang used to work in a small fleet of the county government and was a chauffeur for a deputy county magistrate. After the car reform, in principle, county leaders are not entitled to chauffeured chauffeurs. However, there are policies and countermeasures, and county leaders still have chauffeured chauffeurs and chauffeurs.
The driver is just saying that the car leader does not use it and other people can use it.
Just kidding, who dares to misuse the leader's car? If the leader gets angry, not even the office director can handle it, let alone an ordinary clerk.
Therefore, people like Lao Zhang were not unemployed and always served the county leaders. After Li Yuanlang took office, Lao Zhang was suddenly transferred from the county government to the driver class under the county party committee and assigned to Li Yuanlang.
Xie Keluli talked so much, and only the last sentence hit the point. According to him, Lao Zhang and Sui Fengnian had a close relationship. It was said that they were fellow villagers and came from the same village.
Sui Fengnian! He is Rong Zibin's secretary. So, it is most likely that Lao Zhang was sent by Rong Zibin.
It turns out that Rong Zibin installed a chess piece next to him to monitor him all the time? No wonder Lao Zhang was so concerned about his whereabouts. He must have first-hand information so that he can report to his master at any time.
It seems that we have to find a way to transfer Lao Zhang away, otherwise Li Yuanlang will feel insecure with such a person.
Of course, as long as he knows these words well, there is no need to say them externally.
Soon, the waiter brought a big basin with a big fat-headed fish weighing about five kilograms in it, as well as several side dishes. He boiled the big iron pot, put in the prepared soup, lit the big iron pot, and started to cook.
Start to stew the fish.
Immediately, steam filled the room. Fortunately, the temperature of the air conditioner was set very low. The two effects offset each other, so I didn't feel so hot or out of breath.
While waiting for the fish to be stewed, four side dishes were placed on the table. Xie Ke opened the white wine, filled a glass for Li Yuanlang, and poured it himself.
He picked up the wine glass and said with great shame: "Yuen Long, today I formally apologize to you."
Li Yuanlang was startled and asked, "Where does your apology come from?"
"The last time we had a class reunion, I went a little too far and I offended something. I hope for the sake of my old classmates, don't argue with me. You can do whatever you want. I drank this glass of wine." After that, Xie Ke raised his neck.
, drank up one or two ounces of white wine in one gulp.
"We are classmates, we don't have to pay too much attention. I will accompany you to drink this glass of wine." Li Yuanlang followed the same pattern and drank it all, leaving nothing behind.
"Refreshing!" Xie Ke gave Li Yuanlang a thumbs up and was about to speak. Suddenly he heard someone outside the door shouting: "Damn, this private room has been used by me for a long time. If you dare to use it for others, go ahead."
