"I know." The man replied: "After the woman jumped off the building, Chen Yinghao immediately asked the hotel security to take the woman to the hospital. At the same time, Xie Qixin left from the back door of the hotel, and then Chen Yinghao issued a gag order, prohibiting
The hotel staff revealed that Xie Qixin came to the hotel for dinner."
"What about the hotel's surveillance video? Was it also damaged by Chen Yinghao?" Zhang Shan asked.
"It was Chen Yinghao who broke it," the man said.
"I knew Chen Yinghao was not a good person!" A trace of anger flashed across Zhang Shan's face.
"Okay, I've told you everything I know. That's it. I'm going to hang up." The mysterious man said.
"Wait!" Zhang Shan said hurriedly: "I still have a few questions that I need you to answer..."
"What else do you want to ask?" The mysterious man sounded a little impatient: "I have told you everything I know."
Zhang Shan took a breath: "First question, who are you? Are you an employee of Baozhu Hotel?"
"I'm sorry, I can't answer you this question." The mysterious man said coldly: "I have made it very clear just now. I am just a lowly person. I cannot afford to offend Xie Qixin, Chen Yinghao and others. If I are exposed,
If you reveal your identity, you will definitely suffer crazy revenge from them."
"We can protect you!" Zhang Shan said.
"...You police can protect me for a while, but can you protect me for a lifetime?" the mysterious man asked.
"I..." Zhang Shan was speechless. The mysterious man was right. There was no way the police could protect him for the rest of his life.
"Don't discuss this issue anymore. I will never reveal my identity. You'd better ask the next question quickly." The mysterious man said.
Zhang Shan nodded: "Second question, why did you call me and tell me so much inside information? What is your purpose?"
"Because of conscience!" The mysterious man was silent for a moment and said, "The woman who jumped off the building is so pitiful..."
"Conscience?" Zhang Shan was stunned immediately, and the mysterious man's answer surprised him.
"Do you have any other questions? If not, I'm going to hang up." the mysterious man said.
"Then what...listen to me...I need you to appear in court to testify against Xie Qixin and Chen Yinghao...you...hey, don't hang up the phone! Hey...hey..." Zhang Shan listened before he finished speaking.
When the other party hung up the phone, Zhang Shan hurriedly called back.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered, and then a woman's voice came from the phone: "Hello, this is the public line. What can I do for you?"
"Yes, this is indeed public speaking. Who are you looking for?" the woman asked politely.
The corner of Zhang Shan's mouth twitched: "A man called me just now using this number..."
"Oh, that man has left." The woman replied.
"What does that man look like? Can you describe it to me?" Zhang Shan said.
"I can't describe it... The man wore a hat on his head and a mask on his face. He had his head lowered since he entered the chat room. I couldn't see his face clearly at all," the woman said sheepishly.
"That's it..." A trace of disappointment suddenly appeared on Zhang Shan's face.
"Do you have anything else to do?" the woman asked.
"Oh, no, sorry to bother you." After saying that, Zhang Shan hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and then told the driver to turn around and go to the Municipal People's Hospital.
…
Municipal People's Hospital.
In the corridor on the third floor, Ma Xiaoyao and Zhang Shan stood at the top of the stairs, talking in low voices.
"What did you say?" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly widened: "The person who accompanied Ruolan to the hotel for dinner was actually the deputy mayor Xie Qixin?"
Zhang Shan nodded: "That mysterious man did say that. Does it require further investigation?"
"Check! Check it hard for me! We must find out the matter in the shortest possible time!" Ma Xiaoyao said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Zhang Shan responded, then turned and left the hospital.
After Zhang Shan left, Ma Xiaoyao frowned. This matter actually involves Deputy Mayor Xie Qixin? Is Ruolan's jumping off the building related to Xie Qixin? Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoyao's eyes flashed
A flash of light, it looks like I’m going to meet this Xie Qixin tomorrow!
…
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Xie Qixin came to the city government with two dark circles under his eyes. He had insomnia again last night. It was not that he was not sleepy, but as soon as he closed his eyes, the image of Gu Ruolan jumping off the building would appear in his mind.
The scene... was so frightening that Xie Qixin did not dare to close his eyes and sleep again.
"Alas..." Xie Qixin sighed softly. It's true that you can't do anything wrong. Once you do something wrong, you will be frightened and restless. It's really torturous.
Secretary Xiao Liu gently placed a cup of hot tea on his desk, then turned to leave.
"Xiao Liu, don't go out yet." Xie Qixin stopped Xiao Liu: "Sit down and talk to me for a while."
"Hey." Xiao Liu responded, then gently opened the chair and sat down.
"Xiao Liu, you said... what is the purpose of human life?" Xie Qixin asked.
"Uh... this..." Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Xie Qixin to ask this: "I think... people should live to enjoy life..."
"Enjoy life?" Xie Qixin smiled: "You think the same as me. I also think that people should enjoy life as much as possible while they are alive. They must not treat themselves badly. Life is too short. Maybe one day we will die.
Therefore, we must enjoy ourselves in time and never allow ourselves to live in this world in vain.”
"The leader's understanding of life is really high." Xiao Liu flattered him.
"Xiao Liu, do you think... is human nature good or evil?" Xie Qixin asked another more profound question.
Xiao Liu thought for a while and said: "The Three Character Classic says that 'in the beginning, human nature is inherently good', so I think human nature should be kind."
“People are kind when they are born, but what happens when they grow up?”
…and ultimately embarked on a road of no return.”
Xiao Liu blinked: "Boss, what's wrong with you? Why are there so many emotions today?"
"Once people get older, they have a lot of feelings." Xie Qixin picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Okay, it's okay, you can go out."
"Hey." Xiao Liu glanced at Xie Qixin doubtfully, then stood up and left the office.
"Alas..." After Xiao Liu went out, Xie Qixin let out a long sigh: "You must never do anything wrong in your life."
"Crunch!"
The office door was suddenly pushed open, and secretary Xiao Liu, who had just left, suddenly came back: "Boss, Director Ma from the Public Security Bureau is here, do you see him?"
"Director Ma? Ma Xiaoyao!" Xie Qixin was stunned for a moment: "What is he here for?" At this point, Xie Qixin's heart suddenly thought. Could it be that the incident of Gu Ruolan jumping off the building was exposed? No, it's impossible. Chen Yinghao has clearly agreed.
Ma Xiaoyao shouldn't know about the secret he kept for himself...
"Boss, have you seen Director Ma?" Secretary Xiao Liu asked again.
"Uh..." Xie Qixin hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Bring him in." After much deliberation, Xie Qixin decided to meet Ma Xiaoyao to see what Ma Xiaoyao wanted to do with him.
After getting Xie Qixin's permission, secretary Xiao Liu turned around and left the office. After a while, Xiao Liu came back with a man behind him. When he looked carefully, he saw that it was Ma Xiaoyao. Today, Ma Xiaoyao was wearing jeans.
He looked very energetic.
"Oh, Director Ma, you are a rare visitor." Xie Qixin stood up, held Ma Xiaoyao's hand enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "Come on, sit down quickly, Xiao Liu, hurry up and make a cup of good tea for Director Ma." As he spoke,
, Xie Qixin took Ma Xiaoyao and sat on the sofa.
After a while, secretary Xiao Liu came over with a cup of hot tea. After placing the tea cup on the coffee table, Xiao Liu resigned from the office and closed the door.
"Director Ma, what are you doing here today?" Xie Qixin asked. To be honest, Xie Qixin didn't have much affection for Ma Xiaoyao, but on the surface he pretended to be enthusiastic. This is Xie Qixin
The clever thing is that no matter how much he hates you in his heart, he will pretend to be very enthusiastic on the surface, numb you, and then take action to deal with you after you let down your guard.
Ma Xiaoyao didn't beat around the bush and asked straight to the point: "Deputy Mayor Xie, where did you eat the night before yesterday?"
"The night before yesterday..." A flash of panic flashed in Xie Qixin's eyes, but he quickly covered it up: "This... I really can't remember... Director Ma, you don't know something.
My memory is very poor, I often forget some things...especially small things, I forget them faster..."
"Since Deputy Mayor Xie forgot, let me remind you." Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "The night before yesterday, did you go to the Baozhu Hotel for dinner? And you went with a woman?"
"Uh...is this happening? I really can't remember it!" Xie Qixin shook his head. His mood at the moment could be described as turbulent, but on the surface he was very calm.
"It seems that Vice Mayor Xie's memory is really bad, so let me remind you again." Ma Xiaoyao said calmly: "The woman who accompanied you to the Baozhu Hotel for dinner is called Gu Ruolan, and she works at the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China...
...Vice Mayor Xie, you should have remembered it now, right?"
"Gu Ruolan? This name sounds familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere... Oh, by the way..." Xie Qixin patted his forehead: "I remembered it. Last month I attended an economic symposium.
I met a woman at the venue, her name seemed to be Gu Ruolan... Well, she should be..."
