"Uh... Sister, you are really..." Ma Xiaoyao smiled bitterly: "Do I need to lie to you... I am really Director Xia's friend... Director Xia is about 1.7 meters tall, a bit fatter, and has sparse hair.
...Sister, am I right?"
Xu Qiuju frowned and said nothing.
Seeing Xu Qiuju's expression, Ma Xiaoyao knew that he was right. Ma Xiaoyao coughed and said, "Sister, did Director Xia really commit suicide?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Qiuju's eyes suddenly widened.
"Sister, don't be angry, I don't mean anything else, I just asked casually..." Ma Xiaoyao said.
Xu Qiuju's face sank: "If you have nothing else to do, please leave." Xu Qiuju directly issued an eviction order.
"No...Sister, I still have a few questions..." Ma Xiaoyao was interrupted by Xu Qiuju before she could finish her words.
"I'm tired and want to rest. Please leave." Xu Qiuju's tone was very cold.
Ma Xiaoyao glanced at Xu Qiuju and nodded: "Okay... then I'll leave first." After saying that, Ma Xiaoyao stood up and left.
After Ma Xiaoyao left, Xu Qiuju immediately took out her mobile phone and made a call: "Hey... Deputy Mayor Liu... things may have changed... A strange man came to me just now, and he claimed to be Wen Sheng's friend...
...He asked me if the note was written by Vincent himself... Of course I said it was written by Vincent... Deputy Mayor Liu, is there something wrong... Okay, okay, I understand, Deputy Liu
I am relieved by the mayor's words." Xu Qiuju hung up the phone and breathed out softly: "Wen Sheng...it's all my fault that I didn't stop you at the beginning...for letting you sink deeper and deeper...and finally lost your life...
I regret it so much..." At this point, a tear fell from the corner of Xu Qiuju's eyes.
…
After coming out of Xu Qiuju's house, Ma Xiaoyao took out her mobile phone and called Gu Li: "Sister Gu, how are you doing over there?"
"There is no clue... According to the people from the Public Security Bureau, the note was stolen last night. All the surveillance cameras in the Public Security Bureau were broken last night, so the person who stole the note was not photographed."
Gu Li said.
"It must have been done by someone within the Public Security Bureau. The note was stolen, which means there is something wrong with the note. In other words, the note was not written by Xia Wensheng himself at all. In order to cover up the truth, someone gave the note to
Stolen." Ma Xiaoyao analyzed.
"You are right, the other party obviously wants to destroy the evidence." Gu Li said in a deep voice.
"Sister Gu, I met Xia Wensheng's wife Xu Qiuju just now. I chatted with her for a few words. When it came to the note, Xu Qiuju's expression was obviously unnatural... It seems that Xu Qiuju should know the truth." Ma.
Xiaoyao said.
"You mean... that note was forged by Xu Qiuju?" Gu Li asked.
Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "I just suspect that Xu Qiuju knows the truth. As for whether the note was forged by Xu Qiuju, I'm not sure... Sister Gu, if you want to find out the truth about Xia Wensheng's death, you can only trick Xu Qiuju."
It's time." At this point, Ma Xiaoyao paused and thought carefully for a while: "Sister Gu, now we are divided into two groups. You urge the Public Security Bureau to arrest the contractor of the accident community as soon as possible. As long as the contractor is caught, we will
It is a very important link to know whether Xia Wensheng received benefits or not. I will deal with Xu Qiuju, and I will find a way to make Xu Qiuju tell the truth."
"Okay, I understand. I will urge the Public Security Bureau to arrest the absconding contractor. As for Xu Qiuju... Ma Xiaoyao, are you sure that Xu Qiuju will tell the truth?" Gu Li said worriedly.
Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "As long as you are a human being, you will have shortcomings. As long as I catch Xu Qiuju's shortcomings, I don't have to worry about her not speaking up."
The two chatted for a few words and then ended the call.
Ma Xiaoyao put away his cell phone and strode out of the community.
…
Two days passed in a flash.
The contractor of the accident complex has still not been caught, and Ma Xiaoyao has made no progress at all.
Xu Qiuju still led a group of relatives to make trouble in front of the city hall every day. In order to make the matter bigger, Xu Qiuju even called a group of reporters. Xu Qiuju burst into tears and told her grievances, accusing Gu Li of forcing her husband to death.
, Xu Qiuju cried so sadly that someone who didn’t understand the inside story would really be deceived by Xu Qiuju.
In the past few days, newspapers and TV stations have been reporting the news of Xia Wensheng's suicide. Gu Li instantly became the focus of public opinion. There were negative public opinions. Citizens were talking behind their backs that Gu Li was not a good official and would be dismissed sooner or later.
There were a few brave reporters who wanted to interview Gu Li, but they were rejected by Gu Li. Now Gu Li was a little worried. How could she still be in the mood to be interviewed by reporters?
Things are getting bigger and bigger, and if it continues like this, Gu Li will probably be the mayor for a long time.
Municipal Party Committee Secretary Wang Shuhai made a special call to Gu Li and asked Gu Li to hold a press conference, publicly conduct self-examination, and publicly apologize to Xia Wensheng's family. Gu Li did not agree, but did not refuse either.
Gu Li is not stupid when she says she needs to think about it. Once she holds a press conference, does that mean she admits that she forced Xia Wensheng to death? Then Gu Li's reputation will be ruined. Even if the provincial leaders don't punish her, Gu Li will have no shame in taking advantage of her anymore.
The state and city are done.
Wang Shuhai has very vicious thoughts! He clearly wants to defeat Gu Li!
Night time.
Gu Li and Ma Xiaoyao were sitting on the sofa talking softly.
"I have sent people to investigate clearly. All of Xia Wensheng's properties are legal and there is no illegal income," Gu Li said.
"Where are Xia Wensheng's wife and children? Have they investigated? Are there any relatives of Xia Wensheng?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
Gu Li nodded: "We have investigated everything and found nothing suspicious."
After listening to Gu Li's words, Ma Xiaoyao frowned slowly.
"Perhaps we misunderstood Xia Wensheng. He did not receive benefits from the contractor of the accident community." Gu Li said.
Ma Xiaoyao grinned: "Sister Gu, don't take everything at face value... Maybe Xia Wensheng hid all the money at home?"
Gu Li was stunned: "No way..."
"Why not? Hiding money at home is the safest way." Ma Xiaoyao said: "Just buy a larger safe. If I embezzle money, I will definitely not deposit it in the bank, but put it in
It will be convenient to spend money at home, and it will be safe and not easy to be discovered. Of course, I just assume that I will never be corrupt or take bribes."
After hearing Ma Xiaoyao's hypothesis, Gu Li frowned slightly: "On the day Xia Wensheng committed suicide, the police had already inspected Xia Wensheng's home and found no safe?"
Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "There are only two possibilities. First, I guessed wrong. There is no safe in Xia Wensheng's house. Second, Xia Wensheng hid the safe and the police couldn't find it."
"This is all our speculation. Whether it is true or not still needs to be investigated," Gu Li said.
"Have you not caught the absconding contractor yet?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
Gu Li shook her head: "No... that contractor seems to have disappeared from the world."
"What a headache..." Ma Xiaoyao took a deep breath: "What should I do next..." Ma Xiaoyao fell into deep thought.
Gu Li also frowned, secretly thinking about countermeasures.
Time passed by minute by minute, and more than an hour passed unknowingly.
"Sister Gu, how many children does Xia Wensheng have?" Ma Xiaoyao suddenly asked.
"One...it seems to be a son. He is still in junior high school this year." Gu Li thought for a while and said.
"What's your name? How old are you?" Ma Xiaoyao continued to ask.
"I don't know about this. Why are you so interested in Xia Wensheng's son?" Gu Li asked doubtfully.
"Nothing, I'm just asking casually, Sister Gu, it's getting late, let's go to bed and recuperate, there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
Gu Li also felt a little tired, nodded, and went upstairs with Ma Xiaoyao.
Of course the two of them slept in the same bed, but they did nothing that night, they just fell asleep holding each other in their arms.
Sleep until dawn.
The two had a simple breakfast and left the villa together.
…
Yucai Middle School is a key school in Lizhou City, and all the students there are top students.
"bell……"
The school bell rang at noon, and a group of students in school uniforms rushed out of the school gate. These students were all teenagers and exuded a youthful atmosphere.
Xia Tao lowered his head and walked out of the school gate with a lonely look.
"Are you Xia Wensheng, Director Xia's son?" A strange man blocked Xia Tao.
Xia Tao raised his head in confusion and looked at the strange man in front of him: "Yes, I am Xia Tao, who are you?"
"Ah, I am a friend of Director Xia. My name is Ma Xiaoyao." The strange man smiled and said, "I have something I want to talk to you about. Are you free now?"
Xia Tao hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Tell me what it is."
Ma Xiaoyao looked around: "It's too noisy here, let's move to a cleaner place." After saying that, Ma Xiaoyao led Xia Tao to a cafe.
Xia Tao sat on the chair, frowning slightly: "Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"
Ma Xiaoyao glanced at Xia Tao and said, "Classmate Xia, I'm very curious. Your father just passed away. As a son, you should be very sad, but... why can't I see that you are sad?"
Xia Tao's face darkened: "What do you mean!"
"Don't be angry, I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious...According to normal thinking, the father has just passed away, and the son should be very sad and sad, and he won't be in the mood to go to school at all..." Ma Xiaoyao said while observing Xia Xiaoyao
Thao's expression.
Xia Tao snorted: "Whether I am sad or not, it has nothing to do with you! I'm sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!" After saying that, Xia Tao stood up and left the cafe. "Uh... eldest sister,
You are really..." Ma Xiaoyao smiled bitterly and said: "Do I need to lie to you... I am really Director Xia's friend... Director Xia is about 1.7 meters tall, a bit fatter, with sparse hair... Sister, I said
That’s right, right?”
Xu Qiuju frowned and said nothing.
Seeing Xu Qiuju's expression, Ma Xiaoyao knew that he was right. Ma Xiaoyao coughed and said, "Sister, did Director Xia really commit suicide?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Qiuju's eyes suddenly widened.
