Chapter 1: It's not advisable to startle the snake
Qiao Liang stayed in Liang Pingfei's room for about half an hour. The conversation between the two made Qiao Liang feel particularly happy. After coming out of the room, Qiao Liang still had a happy smile on his face. Qiao Liang guessed that the main leader was Liao Gufeng, but since Liang Pingfei didn't name it, Qiao Liang didn't say it. But through Liang Pingfei's words, Qiao Liang knew that Liao Gufeng was always caring about him. This was enough. It also made Qiao Liang feel particularly confident. With Liang Pingfei in the city in the future, he wouldn't have any support in the city, at least he wouldn't have to run to the provincial capital for everything.
Before Ding Xiaoyun left, when he saw Qiao Liang coming out, Ding Xiaoyun said: "County Magistrate Qiao, after talking with Minister Liang, do you feel more at ease?"
"It seems that Secretary Ding and Minister Liang's conversation was similar to mine?" Qiao Liang looked at Ding Xiaoyun and blinked.
"Guess." Ding Xiaoyun smiled brightly.
Seeing Ding Xiaoyun's beauty, Qiao Liang couldn't help but said: "Secretary Ding, let's go out for supper together."
Ding Xiaoyun subconsciously wanted to agree, but for some reason, he suddenly panicked and hesitated: "No, I suddenly remembered that there are still a few documents that I have not read. I have to go back to the office first."
After Ding Xiaoyun finished speaking, he turned and left. Looking at Ding Xiaoyun's back, Qiao Liang smiled secretly. Now Ding Xiaoyun seemed to be afraid of being alone with him.
Shaking his head, Qiao Liang was about to leave. At this time, his cell phone rang. Qiao Liang looked at the number, frowned, and picked up.
"Leader, where are you now? I want to see you." A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Qiao Liang heard that the other party's tone was very urgent and couldn't help but said: "Well, let's meet at the cafe last night."
"Okay." The man said hurriedly.
The two hung up the phone, and Qiao Liang drove out of the guest house and headed to the cafe where they met last night.
When Qiao Liang arrived, the man had just taken a taxi and was standing in front of the cafe. After getting off the bus, Qiao Liang walked over and asked casually: "Why don't you go in?"
"Leader, I'll wait for you." A smile appeared on the man's face.
Qiao Liang nodded and walked into the cafe with the other party. The two asked for a small box and ordered two cups of coffee. Qiao Liang looked at the other party: "You are so anxious to see me, did you find some evidence?"
"No." The man shook his head and said quickly, "Boss, last night you mentioned my sister's cell phone. I woke up and found that I didn't see my sister's cell phone. I went back to look for her cell phone last night. Then today I went to the County No. 1 Middle School and the police station respectively. The more I thought about it, the more strange it became that my sister’s mobile phone must have been hidden by them."
"Are you sure your sister's cell phone wasn't lost?" Qiao Liang asked.
"No, I don't believe it's such a coincidence." The man shook his head firmly.
Qiao Liang smiled helplessly and said: "What you said is all your own opinion without any substantive evidence. This will make the matter difficult to handle."
"But I have no way to investigate. Now when I go to County No. 1 Middle School, they ask the security guards to drive me away. When I go to the police station, the people at the police station ignore me. What can I do?" the man said with some despair. .
Seeing the man's appearance, Qiao Liang couldn't bear it. Thinking that he had entrusted Ma Yuanxiang to inquire secretly, Qiao Liang couldn't help but said: "Wait a little longer, maybe there will be some news."
"Leader, have you thought of any solution?" When the man heard Qiao Liang's words, his eyes lit up and he looked at Qiao Liang with hope.
"I also asked someone to inquire about the situation. I don't know if there will be any news. I can't say for sure now." Qiao Liang did not hide anything.
When the man heard Qiao Liang's words, he stood up excitedly and looked at Qiao Liang blankly: "Boss, thank you, thank you very much, you are a good officer."
"Whether I am a good official or not is not up to you, but just don't kneel down again." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"No, if you don't kneel down anymore, who wants to kneel down for others?" the man choked.
Qiao Liang sighed softly when he heard this.
The two stayed in the box for a while. The man actually had nothing else to say except about his cell phone. Qiao Liang chatted with the other person for a few words. The two came out of the cafe together. Qiao Liang finally patted the other person.
He put his shoulder on his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't think too much. If there is really a secret behind your sister's death, I believe the truth will come to light."
"Leader, as long as you help me, I believe the truth will come to light. I only believe in you now, and I don't believe in anyone else." The man nodded vigorously.
"Don't be so pessimistic, but firmly believe that there is justice and righteousness in the world." Qiao Liang said.
The two were talking at the door of the cafe. At this time, a car passed by on the road outside. When the woman in the passenger seat saw the man standing at the door of the cafe, she immediately said: "Brother Zheng, look, that
He is He Xiaomei’s brother."
The man driving the car looked in the direction the other person was pointing. At first, it was just a casual look, but the man's eyes widened suddenly and he stepped on the emergency brake.
The woman was startled and said angrily: "Brother Zheng, what are you doing? If I hadn't been wearing a seat belt, my head would have hit the front windshield."
The people in the car were none other than Zheng Dehai and Li Yijia. At this moment, Zheng Dehai couldn't care less about Li Yijia's reaction. His eyes widened and he asked urgently: "Are you sure you read it correctly?"
"That's right, he is He Xiaomei's brother, what's wrong?" Li Yijia wondered, Zheng Dehai's reaction was very abnormal.
Hearing Li Yijia's affirmation, Zheng Dehai's pupils shrank violently. That He Xiaomei's brother was with Qiao Liang!
Zheng Dehai was confused for a moment, but the car behind the car almost rear-ended Zheng Dehai's car because of Zheng Dehai's emergency braking. After it swerved to the side, the driver yelled and cursed at Zheng Dehai.
Zheng Dehai had no time to pay attention to the other party, but the movement happening here attracted the attention of Qiao Liang at the door of the cafe. Qiao Liang subconsciously glanced in the direction of Zheng Dehai. When Zheng Dehai saw this, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
After making sure that Qiao Liang didn't see him, Zheng Dehai took a breath, but his head was in a mess. How could He Xiaomei's brother be with Qiao Liang? What were they talking about? Zheng Dehai's mind was filled with this at the moment.
Doubts loom.
"Brother Zheng, what's wrong with you?" Li Yijia saw something was wrong with Zheng Dehai and asked strangely.
"It's okay, let's go to your house first." Zheng Dehai had a sullen face and suddenly lost interest in Li Yijia beside him.
Arriving at Li Yijia's residence, Zheng Dehai took out a cigarette and lit it as soon as he sat down. His eyes were gloomy. After a brief panic, Zheng Dehai had calmed down. Thinking about what Li Yijia had just said to him during the meal, Zheng Dehai asked,
"Jiajia, when you were eating just now, did you say that He Xiaomei's brother was looking for her mobile phone?"
"Yes, he came to school today just to ask for his cell phone. It was like he was having a nervous breakdown. He didn't know what kind of stimulation he had." Li Yijia looked at Zheng Dehai. No matter how stupid she was, she knew what had happened.
Otherwise, Zheng Dehai would not have suddenly become abnormal, and Zheng Dehai's abnormality seemed to have stemmed from the fact that she pointed out He Xiaomei's brother to him when she saw him at the door of the cafe.
Seeing that Zheng Dehai remained silent, Li Yijia frowned and said again: "Brother Zheng, fortunately we have disposed of He Xiaomei's mobile phone, will nothing happen?"
"The phone is fine. It has been disposed of. That He Xiaomei's brother will never get the phone no matter how much trouble he makes. But you are right. If he keeps making trouble like this, maybe something will happen." Zheng Dehai
He took a puff of the cigarette, a hint of evil flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Brother Zheng, what's going on? Didn't you say it was okay when you were eating? Why are you suddenly worried that He Xiaomei's brother is causing trouble?" Li Yijia looked at Zheng Dehai in confusion.
Zheng Dehai didn't speak. He was still thinking about how He Xiaomei's brother could be with Qiao Liang. This was simply unbelievable. You must know that after He Xiaomei jumped from the building, he also went to find out more about He Xiaomei's family.
After knowing that she and her brother were the only ones in He Xiaomei's family, Zheng Dehai had no worries at all. For a family like He Xiaomei's, there was no need to worry about what kind of trouble this matter would cause, but seeing He Xiaomei tonight
Zheng Dehai suddenly became nervous when his brother was with Qiao Liang.
Zheng Dehai's reaction was seen in Li Yijia's eyes, which made Li Yijia worried. She was originally worried that something would happen to He Xiaomei's brother who kept making troubles. Now seeing Zheng Dehai's appearance, Li Yijia couldn't help but feel worried.
Jincheng.
It was almost ten o'clock, and the lights were still on in Liao Gufeng's office. Sun Zezhong from the provincial department had just arrived at Liao Gufeng's office. There was a box of cigarettes on the table. Liao Gufeng, who rarely smoked recently, lit a cigarette and started smoking. As for Sun Zezhong,
He was already a long-time smoker. When he saw Liao Gufeng smoking, Sun Zezhong dared to follow suit.
The topic the two talked about was the news that Qiao Liang told Liao Gufeng that morning. Liao Gufeng looked at Sun Zezhong and said calmly: "The counterattack has begun. Are you ready to fight?"
"Secretary Liao, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down." Sun Zezhong said solemnly.
"Haha, I'm not afraid that you will fall behind. I'm worried that you underestimate your opponent's IQ, ability, and energy." Liao Gufeng glanced at Sun Zezhong, "That Zhao Xiaohai died at the case handling base. This is a huge lesson."
Hearing Liao Gufeng's words, Sun Zezhong lowered his head in shame. Zhao Xiaohai's death was indeed unexpected and he bears an unshirkable responsibility. Especially since the murderer has not been caught yet, Sun Zezhong was a little embarrassed to face Liao Gufeng.
After thinking about it, Sun Zezhong said: "Secretary Liao, we have launched another investigation direction and found out that Hongzhan Group had some illegal and criminal activities involving gangs in the early years. Do you think we can control Liu Guangan first?"
The reason why Sun Zezhong had such a bold idea was because he felt that Zhao Xiaohai's death was closely related to the Liu family. As long as Liu Yuhu was still locked up, Liu Guangan would definitely continue to cause trouble. It would be better to control Liu Guangan first.
stand up.
Liao Gufeng slowly shook his head and rejected Sun Zezhong's proposal: "It is not appropriate to alert the enemy too early. You should continue to consolidate the evidence first."
When Sun Zezhong heard this, he fell silent and did not move Liu Guangan. Then he could only passively welcome the other party's advances. Looking at today's news, it was obvious that the other party wanted to create momentum through public opinion first. This made Sun Zezhong feel quite pressured, because he knew that he would definitely follow it later.
There will be violent storms, and Liu Guangan is deeply involved with Liu Changxing. This is probably what Liao Gufeng is worried about, so he is so cautious.
