The next day, Zheng Shidong personally led the team to Songbei. Qiao Liang was notified and was waiting in the reception room.
Zheng Shidong brought the staff over, first went to the county discipline inspection, and then went directly to the reception room.
"Comrade Qiao Liang, I am here to talk to you on behalf of the organization today to understand some questions. I hope you can answer them truthfully." Zheng Shidong did not greet Qiao Liang and said seriously as soon as he entered the door, because there will be staff members throughout the conversation today.
He was present and took notes, so Zheng Shidong assumed a businesslike attitude as soon as he entered the door.
Qiao Liang nodded and said: "Secretary Zheng, if you have any questions, just ask and I will answer them truthfully."
After a brief greeting, both parties took their seats. On the side, the staff also sat down, preparing to take notes.
Zheng Shidong took out a stack of photos from his briefcase, handed them to Qiao Liang, and said, "Comrade Qiao Liang, take a look at these photos first."
Qiao Liang took the photo. After getting the relevant news last night, this was the first time Qiao Liang saw the photo. Compared with Zhang Haitao's oral description, what he saw with his own eyes was undoubtedly clearer at this moment.
After quickly looking through the entire set of photos, Qiao Liang's eyes finally settled on the man carrying the suitcase. Because the photo was taken from the back angle, only the back of the man can be seen in this photo, and from the photo alone
Look, the other person is like his follower, following behind him.
"This person..." Qiao Liang pointed at the photo and frowned slightly. The scene the night before yesterday came to mind. Qiao Liang immediately thought of the man walking behind him with a suitcase, but the man was not following him at the time.
Instead, he passed by and disappeared after passing by the parking lot. At least that was what Qiao Liang thought the night before yesterday. But after seeing these photos, Qiao Liang suddenly realized, Damn, this was clearly arranged like this on purpose, and then created a
An illusion.
"Comrade Qiao Liang, do you know this person?" Zheng Shidong asked seriously.
"I don't know." Qiao Liang shook his head.
"Don't you know?" Zheng Shidong raised his eyebrows and winked at the staff member next to him, who then put the box he brought over on the table.
Then Zheng Shidong said: "Comrade Qiao Liang, look, is this box the same as the box carried by the man in the photo?"
Qiao Liang took the photos and compared them, observed them carefully for a minute or two, nodded and said, "They are the same."
"Well, since Comrade Qiao Liang thinks the same thing, let's talk about this box. The box in front of you is the one I just brought from the county discipline inspection, and I also took it out of your trunk last night.
That box containing money." Zheng Shidong looked at Qiao Liang with a solemn expression, "In other words, when the man following you in the photo put the box into your car, you knew about it. After all, he was
Just walking with you, there is no reason why you can’t see me.”
"No, Secretary Zheng, your analysis seems correct, but in fact there is something wrong with it." Qiao Liang shook his head and said, "Secretary Zheng, have you ever thought about it, someone deliberately made two identical boxes to cause trouble to people?
What about an illusion? Secretary Zheng, I vouch for my integrity that I don’t know the person carrying the box. Secondly, he was not with me at the time. The situation the night before yesterday was like this.
Like this, after I came out of the hotel, this man suddenly followed me. When I noticed him, he passed me with a suitcase, then walked through the hotel parking lot and disappeared into the street next to me. The night before yesterday I
I thought he was just passing by, but now I am sure that he was deliberately arranged by someone, and the person who arranged it is the person who wants to frame me behind the scenes..."
Qiao Liang explained the situation the night before yesterday in detail. Zheng Shidong frowned slightly when he heard it. The situation Qiao Liang said was also possible, and from his observation of Qiao Liang's body language and facial expressions, as well as his understanding of Qiao Liang's past,
He was sure that Qiao Liang was not lying.
After pondering for a while, Zheng Shidong said: "Comrade Qiao Liang, who do you think is framing you?"
"Secretary Zheng, this question of yours has stumped me. If I knew, I wouldn't have to sit here and accept your questioning right now." Qiao Liang smiled helplessly. He actually had suspicions in his heart, but for the time being,
Without evidence, there is no point in saying it.
Hearing Qiao Liang's words, Zheng Shidong nodded slightly. From a personal perspective, he was obviously willing to believe Qiao Liang, but work was work, and Zheng Shidong could not bend the law for personal gain, and he had to ask questions clearly.
Next, Zheng Shidong asked several more questions, and Qiao Liang also answered them one by one, while the staff on the side recorded the entire process.
Unconsciously, more than half an hour passed. After Zheng Shidong asked all the questions, he stood up and said: "Comrade Qiao Liang, thank you for your cooperation. We will further investigate your question, but I always believe that
Words: He who purges himself will purge himself. If there is no problem with Comrade Qiao Liang, you don’t need to worry about our investigation."
"Secretary Zheng, I'm not worried at all. Real gold is not afraid of fire. If you haven't done it, you haven't done it. I have a clear conscience, and I believe Secretary Zheng will investigate impartially." Qiao Liang said.
Zheng Shidong nodded, thought for a moment, and then waved to the staff member taking notes. The staff member understood, put away his notebook, turned around and left the reception room.
Zheng Shidong and Qiao Liang were the only two people left in the reception room. Zheng Shidong suddenly smiled and lost his serious expression, and said to Qiao Liang: "Xiao Qiao, were you frightened by the formation just now?"
Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment, a little uncomfortable with the contrast between Zheng Shidong's front and back, but after thinking about it carefully, Qiao Liang understood that if Zheng Shidong was doing business just now, then the other party was communicating with him in a personal capacity now.
After understanding this, Qiao Liang felt a lot more relaxed and said: "Secretary Zheng, don't tell me, you were so serious just now, I was really scared."
"Really? I think you are not afraid of anything." Zheng Shidong pointed at Qiao Liang with a smile, "We were face to face just now, and I didn't see you looking at all scared."
"As the old saying goes, if I don't do anything wrong, I won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Because I have a clear conscience, I am naturally not afraid of your inquiries." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"Speaking of this, I was just about to talk to you." Zheng Shidong put away his smile, looked at Qiao Liang and said, "Xiao Qiao, although the official results of the investigation have not been released yet, I personally believe you, then you
Have you ever thought about why someone tried to frame you when you first came to Songbei?"
"Secretary Zheng, it is inevitable that you will offend people when you do your work. Maybe some of the work I did when I first came here aroused some people's dissatisfaction." Qiao Liang frowned.
"If the situation is like what you said, have you ever reflected on whether your working methods are wrong?" Zheng Shidong said.
Zheng Shidong's words suddenly stunned Qiao Liang. He had never thought about this problem because he never did anything for personal gain. He never thought that he had done anything wrong.
Seemingly seeing what Qiao Liang was thinking, Zheng Shidong added: "Xiao Qiao, sometimes if you don't do something wrong, it doesn't mean it is right. Just like your starting point is good, but your method is wrong, it may also cause bad results.
, this is the same as doing bad things with good intentions."
"Secretary Zheng, according to you, is it wrong to stick to principles?" Qiao Liang frowned.
"No, it is right to adhere to principles, but we must also deal with specific situations. We must pay attention to methods and methods according to different situations. Sometimes we have to be hard with both hands, sometimes we have to be hard with one hand and soft with the other. We cannot be strong.
Do it." Zheng Shidong said.
Hearing Zheng Shidong's words, Qiao Liang fell silent. He understood what Zheng Shidong meant. The other party was not saying that he was at fault, but reminded him to pay attention to methods and strategies to avoid being passive.
"Xiao Qiao, the system is a special ecosystem. If you stay here for a long time, you will understand that many things are not simply right or wrong." Zheng Shidong said meaningfully.
"Secretary Zheng, thank you." Qiao Liang thanked him sincerely. He knew that Zheng Shidong was able to say this to him because he was inspiring him from the bottom of his heart.
"Why are you thanking me? I just said a few more words. Just don't mind my verbosity." Zheng Shidong said with a smile, "Xiao Qiao, I am very optimistic about you and hope you can go further."
"Then you'll have to beat me more in the future to keep me in awe." Qiao Liang said.
"After all, the beatings of others are just external forces. The key is to always stick to your own principles and beliefs in your heart." Zheng Shidong smiled slightly and patted Qiao Liang on the shoulder, "When we are officials of the common people, we must remember four words: Never forget
Original intention.”
"Yeah." Qiao Liang nodded in agreement.
"Okay, back to business, let's talk about your case." Zheng Shidong became serious, "Xiao Qiao, based on the questions I just asked and the situation I learned, I believe you, and the current evidence is also beneficial to you.
, we will go to the hotel later to retrieve relevant surveillance for a more in-depth investigation. As you said, real gold is not afraid of fire.
It's okay for you, and it's impossible for others to put a shit basin on your head. But I still want to remind you that this time someone framed you and made you escape. What about next time? It's easy to hide from open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows.
You came to Songbei to do work, you can't be entangled with these troubles all the time, right? So I hope you will pay more attention to methods in the future."
"Secretary Zheng, I understand what you said, but sometimes it's not that I want to cause trouble, but trouble comes to me." Qiao Liang smiled bitterly.
"Well, this is indeed a problem. It depends on how you use your wisdom to resolve it." Zheng Shidong smiled, "There is a line in the movie that says it very well: The most important thing when a couple is love, when a county
The most important thing in growing up is patience. Although this statement is biased, it also has something worth pondering and learning from."
Qiao Liang nodded silently when he heard this. The conversation between Zheng Shidong and him today touched him a lot. Although he did not completely agree with some of what Zheng Shidong said, some of what the other party said was not unreasonable.
