Qiao Liang came to the hospital, and the first thing he saw when he entered the ward was He Xiaodong lying on the bed with a bandage on his head. He looked seriously injured.
Qiao Liang was a little surprised. He walked to the chair next to the hospital bed and sat down, wondering: "What's going on with you? Wasn't it fine yesterday? Why is it like this today?"
"Oh, don't mention it. If you are unlucky enough, you will get stuck in your teeth even when you drink water." He Xiaodong smiled bitterly, and then looked at Qiao Liang with emotion, "Boss, thank you, thank you for coming here as soon as possible."
He Xiaodong was sincerely grateful to Qiao Liang at this moment. After all, he and Qiao Liang were not relatives, and he still wanted something from Qiao Liang. As a result, he just called Qiao Liang, and Qiao Liang came over so quickly.
After a moment of silence, He Xiaodong continued: "Boss, as I am now, I can't continue to cry out for my sister's injustice. I really can only leave my sister's affairs to you."
He Xiaodong called Qiao Liang just to talk about this matter. After finishing speaking, He Xiaodong looked at Qiao Liang with a hopeful look on his face. Now all his hopes were pinned on Qiao Liang.
Seeing He Xiaodong's gaze, Qiao Liang couldn't bear to refuse and nodded: "I'll try my best. There may be something fishy about your sister jumping off the building, but I can't say for sure yet."
"No, I firmly believe that there must be something hidden here. My sister has always been optimistic and extremely strong. She will not jump off the building for no reason." He Xiaodong said excitedly.
"I understand, but your suspicion needs evidence." Qiao Liang said simply.
When he mentioned this, He Xiaodong's face darkened. He had no evidence now, so he could only mess around. If the Education Bureau couldn't do it, he could only go to school. Anyway, even if he couldn't get an explanation, he would still disturb the school.
.
"Is your injury okay?" Qiao Liang pointed at the other person's head.
"It's okay. I just have a slight concussion on my head. It's not a problem. It's mainly on my feet." He Xiaodong lifted up the quilt and pointed to his calf with a wry smile, where a steel plate had just been put on and wrapped with thick gauze. "The calf is broken, I'm afraid.
I had to lie down for several months. Those people were so cruel. They hit me hard with steel pipes, which made me faint from the pain. When I woke up, I was already in the hospital."
Hearing He Xiaodong's words, Qiao Liang looked at him in confusion: "Did you get beaten?"
"Yeah, just because of a little conflict." He Xiaodong reluctantly told about the incident at the No. 1 Middle School in the county today because he didn't pay attention and collided with someone, which led to the subsequent conflict.
Qiao Liang shook his head repeatedly when he heard this, "You are really unlucky. Have you called the police?"
"Report it. Before you came, the police had just finished taking notes and left." He Xiaodong said.
Qiao Liang nodded when he heard this and said nothing more.
The two chatted for a while, and Qiao Liang left the hospital and went directly back to the county compound.
Qiao Liang subconsciously felt that it was a bit strange that He Xiaodong was beaten today, but he didn't think much about it.
Qiao Liang returned to the dormitory, thought for a while, and then came to He Qingqing's dormitory.
He Qingqing had just finished taking a shower. When he saw Qiao Liang coming, He Qingqing was a little surprised. He put on a coat and welcomed Qiao Liang in. He said with a smile: "County Chief Qiao, the sun is out in the west today, why are you here?"
My dormitory?”
"It's as if I've never been here before," Qiao Liang said.
"I've never been here, County Magistrate Qiao. Although we meet every day, you've never been to my dormitory." He Qingqing laughed.
Qiao Liang laughed when he heard this. He Qingqing had been to his dormitory several times, but he seemed to have never been to He Qingqing's dormitory.
Without dwelling on this, Qiao Liang gave He Qingqing the license plate number he obtained from Ma Yuanxiang: "Director He, ask your best friend in the police station to check the license plate number to see who the owner of the car is."
"County Magistrate Qiao, this is..." He Qingqing looked at Qiao Liang doubtfully.
"The girl who jumped from the County No. 1 Middle School got into this car on the morning of the day she jumped. Let's check it out and see if we can find anything." Qiao Liang said.
"So that's it." He Qingqing nodded immediately, "Don't worry, I will send her the license plate number tomorrow morning, and I will tell you as soon as I have any news."
"Okay." Qiao Liang nodded and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, He Qingqing couldn't help but said: "County Magistrate Qiao won't you sit down for a while?"
"I'm afraid I'll make a mistake after sitting for a long time." Qiao Liang chuckled and glanced at He Qingqing. Although the other person was wearing a coat, he was wearing pajamas because he had just taken a shower. Looking at it from Qiao Liang's point of view, his sight was... From here, he could see He Qingqing's plump place. Qiao Liang didn't dare to stay any longer to avoid having his own wild thoughts. In addition, this was the dormitory of the county compound. He had been staying here for a long time, and there was no guarantee that he would not let go. People criticize.
Qiao Liang's reaction fell in He Qingqing's eyes, causing He Qingqing to chuckle: "County Magistrate Qiao, am I so charming?"
"Do you still need to ask me if you are charming?" Qiao Liang smiled, waved and turned to leave.
The next day, Qiao Liang got up early and took a car to the city. Tomorrow the province will hold a poverty alleviation work conference. The notice was sent out two days ago. The county chief and the deputy county magistrate in charge of poverty alleviation work must attend. Liang Liang On the Beixian side, those who went to the meeting were Shang Ke and Qiao Liang.
Both of them had to go to Jincheng, the provincial capital. Qiao Liang did not go with Shang Ke. He did not ask Shang Ke when he would leave. Anyway, he could just go by himself. Asking Shang Ke would be asking for trouble. The relationship between the two It has always been the same situation.
Speaking of this, Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. In the past few days since he was reinstated after the year, Shang Ke's reaction seemed a little abnormal. He seemed to be a different person. He was no longer as hostile to him as before. Instead, he seemed to want to fight with him. A gesture of burying the hatchet.
When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Qiao Liang doesn't believe that Shang Ke will be on good terms with him. The other party's actions must have some ulterior motives, but Qiao Liang can't see it yet, because the division of labor has been adjusted, although there has been a corresponding increase. The pressure on his job has also increased, but the power at his hands has also increased.
With his thoughts on his mind along the way, Qiao Liang arrived in the city and prepared to take the afternoon flight to Jincheng.
At noon, Qiao Liang randomly found a restaurant in the city to have dinner, when He Qingqing called.
On the phone, He Qingqing said mysteriously: "Mr. Qiao, you must have no idea who the car with that license plate number belongs to."
"Whose?" Qiao Liang asked.
"That's Deputy County Magistrate Zheng's personal car." He Qingqing didn't sell it anymore.
"Zheng Dehai?" Qiao Liang was shocked when he heard this. This answer was so unexpected. Qiao Liang never expected this result before.
"Director He, are you sure you're not mistaken?" Qiao Liang asked a little unconvincingly.
"County Magistrate Qiao, how could this be a mistake? If the vehicle management system checks it, it will be clear who the owner of this car is." He Qingqing said with certainty.
"Then this matter is getting more and more strange." Qiao Liang said to himself.
"No, County Magistrate Qiao, are you saying that the death of the female student named He Xiaomei who jumped from the building was not related to Deputy County Magistrate Zheng?" He Qingqing asked in a low voice.
"Who knows, this matter seems really strange now." Qiao Liang smacked her lips. She didn't know who the owner of the car was, but now she knew that the owner of the car was actually Zheng Dehai, and that the girl named He Xiaomei who jumped from the building was there. It’s a bit strange that he got into Zheng Dehai’s car on the day of his death. He Xiaomei was just an ordinary poor high school student. How did she meet Zheng Dehai? How could Zheng Dehai drive his private car to pick her up at the school gate? And according to what Ma Yuanxiang told him last night, Zheng Dehai's car didn't just appear at the school gate once.
The more Qiao Liang thought about it, the weirder he felt. Now he could even conclude that Zheng Dehai was closely related to He Xiaomei's death.
Qiao Liang was deep in thought. Seeing that there was no voice on the other end of the phone, He Qingqing thought Qiao Liang had hung up the phone and quickly asked: "County Magistrate Qiao, are you still there?"
"Here." Qiao Liang came back to his senses. Thinking of He Xiaodong being beaten and hospitalized, Qiao Liang suddenly felt that something was wrong. Yesterday, He Xiaodong said that he suffered an unreasonable disaster because he bumped into someone while walking and got into a conflict. Now think about it, this so-called The accident might have been man-made.
"Director He, He Xiaomei's brother was beaten and hospitalized yesterday. You should go to the hospital to visit him now. By the way, ask his sister if she has ever mentioned to him any interactions with the county leaders in the past." Qiao Liang said.
"Ah? He is hospitalized?" He Qingqing was very surprised when he heard the news, and immediately said, "Then I'll be there right away."
"Well, when you ask, you need to pay attention to the way you ask. Don't let people think that we suspect that his sister has any inappropriate dealings with the county leaders." Qiao Liang reminded.
"I understand." He Qingqing nodded.
After the two talked on the phone, Qiao Liang took a rest after eating lunch and went to the airport to take the flight from Xizhou to Jincheng.
While waiting in the terminal, Qiao Liang continued to think about the incident of the female student named He Xiaomei who jumped off the building. Judging from the existing information, this matter is indeed getting more and more strange. Zheng Dehai played the role in this incident. What kind of role did it play?
After pondering for a long time, Qiao Liang thought that this matter would have to wait for further clues to be verified, so he didn't think about it any more and picked up his phone to browse the news for a while.
In the news, there are a lot of things about the death of Zhao Xiaohai. The public opinion is becoming more and more intense, and the target of the blame is naturally directed at the provincial department. After all, Zhao Xiaohai died in the case handling base. No matter how to explain this matter, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not make people angry. I feel that there is an ulterior secret here. After all, people are extremely sensitive to this kind of thing, and there are also public opinions fanning the flames.
Qiao Liang now doubts whether these public opinion media have been bribed by Hongzhan Group, so he stands up to expose this matter in a so-called righteous manner.
The provincial department has not made a public reply yet, and it is not known whether it is not good at dealing with public opinion or whether it is brewing some action.
Qiao Liang was thinking secretly. Thinking of what Liao Gufeng said, his opponent was not only powerful, but also cruel and cunning. Qiao Liang felt a shiver in his heart. The incident derived from Shi Lei's case might create a series of storms. Behind the scenes, in the final analysis, it is still a battle between justice and evil.
Qiao Liang thought silently, and before he knew it, it was time to board the plane. Qiao Liang put his thoughts back, set his phone to flight mode, and got on the plane.
After a short journey, we arrived in Jincheng at around 3pm.
Qiao Liang came out of the airport and stood on the roadside preparing to take a taxi into the city.
At this time, a car slowly stopped in front of Qiao Liang.
