The house was surrounded by a cordon, and two police officers were standing guard, but there was no fire fighter.

"What's going on?" Li Yuanlang couldn't help asking.

Before Liu Tianfu could answer, Ruan Haiqing came over and explained: "Mayor Li, this house belongs to my brother-in-law. If he is not here, I asked Deputy County Magistrate Yu to send someone to look after it."

"No one lives in his house?" Li Yuanlang frowned.

"Yes, he bought a building in the county town, and it has been vacant." When Ruan Haiqing said this, his expression was obviously unnatural.

Li Yuanlang didn't want to dwell on this, but there seemed to be doubts in his mind.

Why should police be sent to protect an unoccupied house and prevent outsiders from entering to inspect the burning condition?

It's so strange.

Li Yuanlang, who was sitting in the car after returning from the scene, was full of doubts and immediately asked Wu Liushui to contact Yu Dawei and ask him to come to the office.

After Yu Dawei answered the call, he thought for a moment, looked at Ruan Haiqing in the distance, and made a mental calculation.

Ten minutes later, Yu Dawei walked into Li Yuanlang's office.

Inviting him to sit down on the sofa, Li Yuanlang asked him why Ruan Haiqing sent the police to protect that house?

Yu Dawei was very hesitant, lowered his eyelids and remained silent.

His reaction further confirmed Li Yuanlang's guess that there was definitely something wrong.

"Comrade Dawei, there are only two of us here. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."

Yu Dawei kept fiddling with the police cap with his fingers. After a while, he slowly raised his head and stared at Li Yuanlang with bright eyes.

"Mayor Li, this... this matter is really hard to talk about."

"Comrade Dawei, please don't worry. As the old saying goes, you can't hide the fire in the paper, and it will be exposed one day. Even if you don't tell me, I can still ask."

Yu Dawei thought about it again and again, and finally summoned up the courage, "We found a mezzanine in the house burned down by Deputy County Magistrate Ruan's brother-in-law. Inside, there were stacks of cash, which fell very high and a lot..."

"What?" Li Yuanlang was suddenly shocked.

After thinking carefully, he asked: "What does Ruan Hai Khang's brother-in-law do? How come there is so much cash in the empty house?"

"I just heard that his brother-in-law and sister-in-law all work within the system and have no business experience."

This is strange. Without external income, the empty house at home would have so much money? This is not scientific.

"In addition." Yu Dawei added: "When the fire broke out, Deputy County Magistrate Ruan asked the firefighters to put out the fire in that house first. The city's deputy detachment leader analyzed the fire situation and thought it was unreasonable to do so, so he didn't listen.

Yes, I even got into an argument with Deputy County Magistrate Ruan over this."

"As soon as the fire was extinguished, Deputy County Magistrate Ruan rushed into the house first, regardless of everyone's obstruction. He even fell and broke his hand."

There are various signs that Ruan Haiqing's behavior is very abnormal, and there must be something wrong with it.

"Comrade Dawei, thank you for being able to withstand pressure and tell the truth." Li Yuanlang stood up and shook hands with Yu Dawei solemnly.

After sending Yu Dawei away, Li Yuanlang returned, his calm face quickly becoming gloomy.

Immediately call Zhang Quanlong and analyze it carefully with him.

After hearing this, Zhang Quanlong nodded firmly and said: "Mayor Li, what you said makes sense. I have also inquired about it, and it is basically consistent with the information you have. It is very likely that Ruan Haiqing hid the money there, otherwise he

I won’t be so concerned about it.”

"It's just that there is a problem now. I guess Ruan Haiqing will contact his brother-in-law and admit that the money is his, not Ruan Haiqing's."

"This is what I'm worried about. However, the content of the call can be retrieved through technical means. I want Han Wei to intervene immediately and try to check."

"I guess Ruan Haiqing won't use his mobile phone to make calls. He must change his mobile phone number."

Li Yuanlang nodded slightly, "This is simple, just check his brother-in-law. I have ordered Yu Dawei and Ruan Haiqing's brother-in-law's house to be taken over by the Public Security Bureau. No one is allowed to enter, and the evidence must be protected."

"In this case, Ruan Haiqing will definitely be furious. Should we take measures against him?"

Li Yuanlang thought about it and told Zhang Quanlong, "Just monitor in secret. In the absence of irrefutable evidence, keep it tight on the outside and tight on the inside."

"I understand, I'll go and arrange it right away."

After Zhang Quanlong left, Li Yuanlang picked up the phone and called Zu Aiquan, secretary of the Guangnan Commission for Discipline Inspection, and reported the matter to him seriously.

After putting down the phone, Li Yuanlang decided to contact Wei Qizheng. After all, he was the top leader in Guangnan, so this kind of thing couldn't be avoided by him.

                 ;

As for how he should do it, it is not Li Yuanlang's concern.

At this time, Ruan Haiqing was shouting to Yu Dawei on the phone, "Bullshit Yu Dawei, your wings are stiff, even I won't be allowed to enter the house!"

Yu Dawei said categorically: "I'm sorry, Deputy County Magistrate Ruan. I have received an order from the city leaders to cooperate with the fire department to find out the cause of the fire. No one is allowed to enter the scene. Please understand."

"What kind of city leader is Li Yuanlang? I'm telling you Yu Dawei, I'm no worse off than Li Yuanlang. You'd better think clearly whether you want to side with your old colleagues and friends, or with Li Yuanlang, an outsider.

Don’t end up regretting it!”

Yu Dawei suppressed his anger and explained calmly, "Deputy County Magistrate Ruan, please don't embarrass me. It's not just Mayor Li who gives me orders, there are also city leaders with higher rankings than him. I have no choice but to

Implement it resolutely.”

"Okay." Ruan Haiqing couldn't help but nodded and sneered: "Yu Dawei, I finally remember you."

After saying that, he threw the phone away angrily and huffed into the chair.

Secretary Ding Shiyu, who was outside the door, heard the sound of his boss slamming the phone. He opened the door and came in tremblingly. As soon as he showed his head, he was scolded back by Ruan Haiqing, "Get out of here."

Ruan Haiqing's face was ashen, and his eyebrows were wrinkled into a huge knot. After thinking over and over again, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number.

That afternoon, Li Yuanlang learned from Han Wei that Ruan Haiqing's brother-in-law did not receive a call from Ruan Haiqing, but Ruan Haiqing's wife went to her brother's house.

It must have been collusion.

Additionally, only part of the cash in the house was burned, while the other part had been cleared out.

After being counted by the money counting machine, there were more than five million in total.

Moreover, a safe was found containing gold and US dollars, with a rough estimate that the total value exceeds eight million, not counting the burned part.

Darling, you are so rich, it adds up to tens of millions.

For an executive deputy county magistrate to have so much money, he must have come from something shady.

When Li Yuanlang communicated this matter to Zu Aiquan, Zu Aiquan said: "Secretary Wei has a different view on this matter. He believes that the money found in Ruan Haiqing's brother-in-law's house does not necessarily belong to Ruan Haiqing."

"Besides, Ruan Haiqing's wife has been trading in the stock market for a long time and I heard that she has made a lot of money. If we take decisive measures against Ruan Haiqing, the evidence is obviously insufficient and it will lead to passivity."

Li Yuanlang was very surprised that Wei Qizheng suddenly changed his attitude, which was very different from when he received the call.

"Secretary Zu, I think we should take measures against brother-in-law Ruan Haiqing first. I'm worried that things will change over time."

"He is a staff member of your Wuma County Education Bureau. I will ask Li Ye to handle it. I will arrange someone from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to assist."

After all, without the support of Wei Qizheng, Zu Aiquan could not carry out the investigation in a big way, so he could only do it secretly.

After this unexpected incident, Li Yuanlang was in a difficult state of mind.

Li Yuanlang did not have a good impression of Ruan Haiqing.

He is usually domineering, but fortunately he has the status of a city leader, so he doesn't dare to go too far with him.

But in the county government, Ruan Haiqing completely overshadowed Liu Tianfu, reaching the point where he could say the same thing.

Thinking of Liu Tianfu, Li Yuanlang felt that he should have a chat with him.

When he returned home in the evening, Li Yuanlang bought some side dishes to go with wine and knocked on the door of Liu Tianfu's house.

A woman's voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

Li Yuanlang directly announced his name and waited outside the door with his things.

"Is it...Mayor Li?" The woman was surprised.

"It's me."

"You, please wait a moment."

Hearing the strange reaction of Liu Tianfu's wife, she did not open the door immediately, nor did she tell Li Yuanlang whether Liu Tianfu was there.

You know, just call and ask beforehand.

This is too abrupt.

About ten minutes later, Liu Tianfu opened the door with a smile, and smiled helplessly: "Please forgive me, Mayor Li, my guy was taking a shower just now, and he was a little underdressed..."

Li Yuanlang shrugged nonchalantly and said apologetically, "I didn't think carefully enough to bother you."

"It's okay, please come in quickly." Liu Tianfu said, turning sideways and forcefully entering Yuen Long.
