Qiao Liang then told the other party that he was in Xizhou now and was about to return to Liangbei. The other party heard this and said: "That's great. You don't want to go back. You will attend an important event at the Xizhou Hotel tomorrow."
"What important event?" Qiao Liang asked.
"Secretary Guan from Jiangdong Province will come to Xizhou tomorrow for inspection, and at the same time visit the cadres from Jiangdong Province who are on temporary duty in Xizhou. Secretary Guan and his party will arrive in Xizhou at noon tomorrow. According to the activity agenda notified above, Secretary Guan will be at Xizhou Hotel and The comrades who have come to Jiangdong to hold temporary posts have a discussion. Following the instructions of the leaders, I will now inform you several temporary staff to arrive in Xizhou in advance..."
Qiao Liang was surprised when he heard that Guan Xinmin was coming to Xizhou for inspection. He had not heard any news beforehand. According to the information he had received before, Guan Xinmin was inspecting and visiting some temporary cadres in Northwest Province this time. Xizhou was not included in the plan. , why did he suddenly want to come to Xizhou? Did something happen in the meantime that caused Guan Xinmin's itinerary to be temporarily changed?
Without thinking too much, Qiao Liang hurriedly agreed: "Okay, I'll go back to Xizhou Hotel now."
"After County Magistrate Qiao goes to Xizhou Hotel, there will be someone from the ministry who will receive him in the VIP building to arrange food and accommodation," the other party said.
Qiao Liang agreed and hung up the phone, then turned around and drove back to Xizhou Hotel.
After getting off the car, Qiao Liang walked into the lobby of the VIP building. A young man came up to him and said enthusiastically: "Is this County Magistrate Qiao?"
"It's me." Qiao Liang nodded and looked at the other person.
The young man said with a smile: "I am a staff member of the department office. I have just arrived at the hotel. I am responsible for arranging the food and accommodation for you temporary staff. County Magistrate Qiao came so early. I arrived so quickly."
Qiao Liang laughed: "I came here last night and was about to leave this morning when I just received the notice."
"No wonder, then just continue to live here and rearrange the room."
The young man then took Qiao Liang to the front desk to go through the accommodation procedures. Qiao Liang stayed here last night in an ordinary single room in the Yingbin Building. This time, he arranged a deluxe single room in the VIP Building, and the treatment was improved to a higher level.
This increase in treatment seems to be related to Guan Xinmin's visit.
After entering the room, Qiao Liang called Ding Xiaoyun to tell her about it. Ding Xiaoyun said that the county had just received a notice from the city and she already knew about it, and she also told Shang Ke.
Qiao Liang originally planned to call Ding Xiaoyun and then tell Shang Ke, but he gave up after hearing that Ding Xiaoyun said that he had already told Shang Ke.
Then Ding Xiaoyun said that when she informed Shang Ke about this, Shang Ke told her that he would go to Xizhou tomorrow on official business.
"Oh, County Magistrate Shang is also coming to Xizhou." Qiao Liang nodded, and then asked casually, "What is his official business in Xizhou?"
"County Magistrate Shang didn't say anything about it," Ding Xiaoyun said.
"If he doesn't tell you, you won't ask?"
"right."
"You are the leader, why don't you ask?"
"I don't want to ask." Ding Xiaoyun added after he finished speaking, "Actually, asking is useless."
Qiao Liang snorted.
"What are you humming?" Ding Xiaoyun said.
"Secretary Ding should know." Qiao Liang snorted again.
Ding Xiaoyun laughed and then hung up the phone.
Qiao Liang put away his cell phone, lay down on the bed, put his hands behind his head and looked at the ceiling, thinking about Guan Xinmin coming to Xizhou...
This time, Guan Xinmin led a counterpart support delegation from Jiangdong Province to Northwest Province. According to the previously drawn up activity plan, Xizhou was indeed not included in the arrangement.
After the members of the inspection team were grouped into pairs, Guan Xinmin and Liao Gufeng had another separate discussion to discuss certain matters. Then according to the activity arrangement, he began to visit several provincial enterprises in the northwest and Jincheng and surrounding counties and cities.
In the past few days of visits to several provincial-level enterprises in the northwest, the second-in-command of the northwest province has been accompanying them, and Liao Gufeng did not show up.
Although Guan Xinmin is now the top leader in Jiangdong Province, Guan Xinmin was mentally prepared for Liao Gufeng not coming forward to accompany him on the inspection tour. He had no hope of doing so, because after all, he still had the word "agent" hanging on his head.
He is not yet the serious leader of Jiangdong Province. In a sense, he does not seem to be qualified to be on an equal footing with Liao Gufeng, not to mention that Liao Gufeng was ranked ahead of him when he was in Jiangdong Province.
Of course, there would be nothing inappropriate if Liao Gufeng could come out in person to accompany him on the inspection. After all, he was bringing people to support the northwest. From a certain point of view, he was a distinguished guest. After all, although he was an agent, he was a real member of Jiangdong Province.
The boss is here, and if Liao Gufeng does this, he will also give himself a lot of face.
But Liao Gufeng just didn't do that.
This gave Guan Xinmin a subtle feeling in his heart. He realized that although Liao Gufeng had arrived in the northwest, the subtle relationship between the two people who knew each other well but would not reveal it still existed.
According to the plan, Guan Xinmin finished his inspection of several provincial-level enterprises in the northwest today, and will start activities in Jincheng and its surrounding counties and cities tomorrow. Then he will go to several other arranged cities and visit the local temporary staff.
Because Xizhou is too far away from Jincheng, Xizhou was not arranged among the cities he planned to visit.
But last night, Guan Xinmin unexpectedly learned the news that an important official from a certain department in the capital would arrive in Jincheng this afternoon. This official came to Jincheng without any prior arrangements and was notified of the northwest province at short notice.
According to the rank of this senior official, when he comes to Jincheng, Liao Gufeng and the second-in-command in the northwest will come out to receive and accompany him. At the same time, Guan Xinmin learned that this senior official will be active in the northwest for a few days, and the scope of his activities will be roughly in Jincheng and the surrounding areas.
Prefecture and city.
The sudden arrival of this important official disrupted Guan Xinmin's previously arranged activity plan, or in other words, some kind of conflict occurred.
The reason why it was said to be a conflict was because Guan Xinmin was extremely reluctant to see this senior official, and even did not want him to know that he was operating in the northwest.
The reason for this is that when Guan Xinmin was working in the capital, he had a working relationship with this senior official for a period of time in his early years. During this period, the relationship between the two was not only extremely ordinary, but they even had some unpleasant experiences.
In this way, in order to avoid the embarrassment after the meeting, Guan Xinmin couldn't help but think of avoiding this important person. Since he wanted to avoid it, and since the scope of this important person's activities was in Jincheng and the surrounding areas, he couldn't suddenly end the inspection and return to Jiangdong.
In this case, naturally the further away from the ground the better.
So Guan Xinmin thought of Xizhou, which was far away from Jincheng. This was the last place this official could go.
So Guan Xinmin asked his entourage to inform the relevant departments in the northwest that in order to make the inspection richer and more comprehensive, he wanted to temporarily add Xizhou to visit Xizhou. At the same time, taking into account the location and work convenience of Xizhou,
He decided to adjust the activity route, going to Xizhou first, then to other cities and towns, and finally to Jincheng and surrounding counties and cities.
The changes Guan Xinmin made ensured that he could avoid the senior official he really didn't want to see. By the time he returned to Jincheng in such a large circle, the senior official would have already left the northwest.
The relevant departments in the northwest received the notification from Guan Xinmin's entourage and immediately reported it to the superiors. The report was quickly sent to Liao Gufeng. After learning about it, Liao Gufeng smiled slightly and immediately instructed to respect the guest's wishes.
So early this morning, the province immediately notified Xizhou. The relevant departments in Xizhou did not dare to neglect, and then arranged the relevant reception matters, and at the same time notified several temporary staff in Xizhou.
Qiao Liang naturally didn't know about Guan Xinmin's sudden visit to Xizhou for inspection at this time.
In fact, not only Qiao Liang didn't know about it, but many people in Xizhou, including Jincheng, didn't know about it either. Even the people who came with Guan Xinmin to inspect it didn't know about it.
It seems that only Guan Xinmin knows the inside story.
But it just seems.
Qiao Liang was so idle in the hotel room that he made phone calls whenever he had nothing to do.
Qiao Liang called Lao San and first asked about Zhang Mei's recent situation.
The third child said that Zhang Mei's condition is still the same, with no further development and no signs of improvement.
Qiao Liang felt heavy after hearing this, and couldn't help but sigh, and then asked the third child: "Sister Li, has there been any unusual movement recently?"
The third child said: "So far, her performance is quite normal. However, according to some of the investigations I arranged for Wang Xiao to do on her, she seems to have suddenly become rich recently."
"How do you say that?" Qiao Liang said.
"Last week she bought a small apartment worth 500,000 yuan in the downtown area, and it was paid in full," said the third child.
"Oh..." Qiao Liang's eyelids twitched, "With her job income, it's not easy to buy an apartment with a total payment of 500,000 yuan. It's not normal."
"Yes, it's very unusual, very abnormal." The third child said.
"Could it be that her family is rich?" Qiao Liang asked.
"What the heck, she is single and divorced. Her family is in the countryside. Her parents are farmers, and her brothers and sisters are also working. Before, she had been renting a bungalow in a shantytown." said the third child.
After hearing what Lao San said, Qiao Liang realized that Lao San had conducted a more detailed investigation on Sister Li, and said thoughtfully: "So, Sister Li suddenly became rich. Could it be that she won the big prize by buying lottery tickets?"
?”
"This is extremely unlikely. I asked around and found out that she never buys lottery tickets, and even if she does, the chance of winning the jackpot is very slim."
"Then where do you think she got the money?"
"I think it's most likely related to taking care of Zhang Mei."
Qiao Liang's eyelids twitched again: "If this is possible, who gave her the money?"
"This is the focus of my current investigation." Lao San said.
"Did you find out anything?"
"No, I used technical means to check all the accounts in her name. Except for normal salary income, there were no large transfers of funds."
"Huh?" Qiao Liang frowned, "There is no large amount of funds transferred in, so how can she pay for the house? Not by transferring money from the card? Is it cash?"
The third child said: "You are right. I retrieved the monitoring records of the sales office. She indeed paid in cash and went to the sales office with a bag of cash."
Qiao Liang continued to frown: "Lao San, what do you think this means?"
The third child said methodically: "I think this illustrates four points: First, Sister Li has a purpose in caring for Zhang Mei. In other words, she is nominally caring for Zhang Mei as a hospital nurse, but in fact she is ordered to do so.
Monitor Zhang Mei, monitor Zhang Mei’s changes in condition, and monitor all people who come to visit Zhang Mei;
Second, Sister Li was paid to spy on Zhang Mei, and the reward was quite large. Of course, the reward could not be given to her 500,000 in one go, but should be given intermittently during this period;
Third, the person who paid Sister Li was very cunning and thoughtful. He did not transfer money to Sister Li's card, but gave her cash. He even told Sister Li not to deposit the money on the card;
Fourth, the person who sends money to Sister Li may not be the real instigator behind the scenes, but just a person who handles things. And this instigator, based on my current comprehensive analysis, is most likely to be..."
