Chapter 546: Deep Chat on a Snowy Night
"Tell me, what's the suspicion?"
Hu Zhaojun said that he found signs that Kuang Hui's body had been tampered with.
According to common sense, Kuang Hui was killed and his body was buried in a snowdrift and covered with branches to avoid being discovered.
However, through investigation and analysis by Hu Zhaojun, it was obvious that Kuang Hui was dug out of the snowdrift. Wasn't this deliberately exposed for others to see?
I really don't understand what the murderer's purpose is.
Li Yuanlang lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly.
He looked at the dark mountains in the distance, his eyes shining brightly, and he fell into deep thought.
Currently, the county is investigating the death of Xing Dong. At this time, the murder case of Kuang Hui comes out. This is someone deliberately disrupting the situation and adding chaos to the already chaotic Daiding County.
No! That’s not entirely right. It should be a diversion to draw everyone’s attention to Kuang Hui’s case.
So that means the other party must be trying to hide something?
What are they hiding?
This is very critical.
Unable to come up with a result just by just thinking, Li Yuanlang gave up decisively, threw away the cigarette and said, "Let's continue on our way."
After walking this section of the mountainous area for a short distance, we reached the forest.
Although there is a path in this red pine forest covered with white snow, it is not far to walk. The two police officers in front looked at the terrain, pointed to the left and turned back and said: "We have to walk on the snow, over this mountain.
At the foot of the mountain is Jinwakeng.”
Before walking in the snow, several people tightened their trouser legs to prevent snow from getting into their shoes.
With the sound of "crunching", they stepped on the snow up to their ankles and walked deeper into the forest step by step.
At the beginning, Li Yuanlang could still chat with Hu Zhaojun about the matter between Gao Gao and Liu Sisi.
Most people don't know the twists and turns here, including Hu Zhaojun.
Li Yuanlang only had a little knowledge and relied entirely on analysis and reasoning.
However, Hu Zhaojun knew that Gao Gao had a personal relationship with Yuan Zhipeng, the vice president of Yushui Jinsha.
It was he who reported to Li Yuanlang that Gao often went to bathe at Yushui Jinsha.
Li Yuanlang apologized to Hu Zhaojun for this and said: "Zhaojun, when you reported to me that Gao Gao went to bathe in Jinsha, I thought you were following him. My attitude towards you at that time... was really inappropriate."
"County Magistrate, I don't blame you. I would have thought the same way. The county bureau is full of contradictions and complicated relationships. You are considering the problem from an overall perspective. I am just reporting to you based on my responsibilities, and I don't think too much about it.
.”
"You mentioned that the relationship is complicated. When Secretary Lei and we were discussing candidates to replace Gao Gao, he said that Hong He, who was proposed by Li Benqing, is also a member of your team. Is it true that Hong He is closer to Li Benqing?" Li Yuanlang asked.
"Yes, not entirely."
"Why?"
Hu Zhaojun took a breath and said, "Do you know who Hong He's uncle is?"
Of course Li Yuanlang shook his head and answered in the negative.
"Li Yuefeng."
Li Yuanlang immediately stopped and said to himself in surprise: "You mean, Li Yuefeng, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee."
"Well, that's him."
No wonder, there are really people in the court who want to be officials.
Li Yuefeng is the third in command in Yunshui City, second only to Zhao Gongda and Shi Kan, and holds great power.
Hu Zhaojun continued: "When Secretary Lei was still the deputy secretary of the county party committee, I heard that he and Deputy Secretary Li often interacted with each other. And..."
At this time, Hu Zhaojun suddenly became hesitant.
"Tell me, there are no eavesdropping devices here." Li Yuanlang looked at the towering pine trees around him, half joking.
"I heard that Deputy Secretary Li's lover has a very good relationship with Secretary Lei's lover. They are god sisters."
That’s how it turns out…
If the two wives have this kind of relationship, Lei Zhen and Li Yuefeng must be even closer.
Li Yuanlang had an intuition that Deputy Secretary Li should be indispensable for Lei Zhen's success in taking office.
But after walking for a while, Li Yuanlang became a little out of breath.
Since taking office in Daiding County, Li Yuanlang had maintained good morning exercise, but he had stopped for a long time because he was too busy with work.
If you don't exercise, you will not only gain weight, but your physical condition will also deteriorate.
Not long after leaving, Li Yuanlang was already sweating all over his body and was panting very hard.
Wang Zhongqiu immediately handed the simple walking stick to Li Yuanlang.
Li Yuanlang helplessly laughed at himself: "I thought it wouldn't be of use, my physique is really not as good as before."
He was not polite, took it and thrust it into the snow, moved his lead-filled legs, and walked forward step by step with difficulty.
Because they had to take care of Li Yuanlang, the few of them stopped and walked, not moving very fast.
Some people may think that since Li Yuanlang walked so hard, why not carry him on his back.
This is absolutely impossible. Even though the two police officers are young men, Li Yuanlang would be very tired even if he carried more than 100 pounds on his back, even if he walked on a flat road, let alone a mountain road covered with thick snow.
There is only one result of doing this. Both of them will be exhausted, which will only delay things even further and waste time.
Just like that, when the five of them finally walked out of the pine forest and stood on the top of the mountain, Li Yuanlang looked at the time on his phone and saw that more than two hours had passed.
He was breathing heavily, and Hu Zhaojun on the side pointed to the foot of the mountain, "That's Jinwakeng."
Li Yuanlang looked down, it was completely dark and he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Okay, continue." No matter how tired he was, he just stood still for a while and followed the others slowly down the mountain.
They say it is easier to go up a mountain than it is to go down, and this is absolutely true.
Moreover, we were still marching among pine trees, not to mention it was more strenuous.
Anyway, it took more than two hours, and by the time they arrived at Jinwakeng, it was already midnight.
As the name suggests, this is a big pit.
It's just that this pit is very big, several miles in circumference.
The ground was covered with weeds and there was thick snow.
The wind is quite light, obviously much lighter than on the mountain.
Several people stood and observed for a while. The young police officer grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and rubbed his lips.
"County Magistrate, you can also give it a try. Remember, you only need to touch your lips. Do not eat it as it may cause stomach upset." Hu Zhaojun said, grabbing a handful of snow and patting it on his lips.
After walking so far, your mouth will definitely be dry, so moistening your lips with snow can quench your thirst to a certain extent.
Once eaten into the stomach, the whole body will be hot and the hot and cold will cross each other, which will affect the gastrointestinal tract. If the digestive function is not good, it can be imagined that it will cause a bad stomach.
However, it will be different if you wait until your body gradually cools down and eat kousue again at this time.
Li Yuanlang imitated the cat and the tiger, also grabbed a handful of snow and wiped it on his lips.
There are few people here and the snow is very clean without any pollution.
After simply resting for a while, Li Yuanlang suggested walking deeper.
So, the five people lined up and continued moving forward.
In this way, after walking for about an hour and a half, Li Yuanlang felt seriously powerless. His legs seemed to be tied with sandbags, and every step he took was laborious.
If there are no unexpected discoveries tonight, this night exploration of Jinwakeng will be a failure.
Li Yuanlang judged through a series of analyses, and felt that there was something special about this Jinwakeng designation.
According to Zhan Haiquan's assistant, when he was being detained, he overheard someone talking about Jinwakeng more than once.
There were other things like sand quality and gold withdrawal rate, but he only listened to half of it and didn't understand what these people were talking about at all.
From this, Li Yuanlang began to draw more and more general outlines. Just as he thought, there was something in this golden pit, something eye-catching!
However, they had come so far and were almost at the end, and still found nothing surprising.
Could it be that I made a wrong judgment?
Li Yuanlang began to doubt and lost confidence.
"Look, what is that?"
Just as Li Yuanlang was thinking wildly, a police officer walking at the front suddenly pointed forward with a flashlight.
At this moment, Li Yuanlang, as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood, took a few steps and looked in the direction of the light.
There is a large open area in front, and the ground seems to be very flat.
"Go and have a look." Li Yuanlang said and was the first to walk over.
Hu Zhaojun, Wang Zhongqiu and others also quickly followed.
It's a hundred meters away and you'll be there in a few minutes.
Standing here, Li Yuanlang pinched his waist and took a closer look at the light, muttering to himself: "I have a feeling that this place seems to have been tidied up."
Hu Zhaojun took a deep breath, looked around and said, "I seem to remember that this place was originally full of trees..."
oh?
