After a moment of silence, Qiao Liang patted Cai Minghai on the shoulder and said, "Old Cai, stop thinking about these troublesome things. Let's go and have a drink."
"That's right, let's go drink. A drunken drink will relieve a thousand worries." Cai Minghai nodded. At this moment, he could only take pleasure in the misery.
Qiao Liang knew that Cai Minghai was unhappy, so he comforted him again, "Lao Cai, we are just suspended now, not dismissed yet. If we work harder, maybe there is still room for recovery."
"County Magistrate, please don't comfort me. I'm already prepared for the worst. In fact, there's nothing hard to face. Life is bound to have its ups and downs." Cai Minghai said pretending to be free and easy.
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and go have a drink." Qiao Liang nodded and said. He knew that there was no point in saying more comforting words at this time, so it was better to have a drink.
On their way to the hotel, Qiao Liang and Cai Minghai called Lu Qian. He originally planned to meet Lu Qian in the city tonight and go to pay homage to Zhang Lin together tomorrow morning. However, something like Cai Minghai happened, and Qiao Liang spent the evening with Cai Minghai.
If you want to drink, you can only rush to the city tomorrow morning.
After receiving a call from Qiao Liang, Lu Qian heard the reason and immediately said, "Then don't come over. I'll meet you in the county. I just happened to have a few drinks with Lao Cai. Let's set off together tomorrow morning."
"You can come over." Qiao Liang nodded, "Call me when you get to the county and I will send you the hotel address."
After talking to Lu Qian on the phone, Qiao Liang and Cai Minghai found a restaurant where they had eaten before. As soon as they entered the private room, Cai Minghai asked the waiter to serve the wine.
"Lao Cai, wait until the food is served before drinking, and eat something to fill your stomach first." Qiao Liang said to Cai Minghai.
Cai Minghai nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Drink to your heart's content tonight. Since I started working, I rarely get drunk. I'm afraid it will delay things."
Qiao Liang knew that Cai Minghai was in a bad mood, so he didn't say anything. After thinking about it, Qiao Liang took the initiative and asked, "Old Cai, if we really want to transfer you from the position of county bureau chief, is there any department you would like to go to?"
?”
"Why, can't I still choose?" Cai Minghai said with a smile.
"If there is any department you want to go to, you can at least try hard. Of course, what I'm saying now are all assumptions, and maybe it won't reach this point." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"Now I am suspended, and the next step is definitely to be dismissed. Anyway, I have no hope." Cai Minghai smiled helplessly, "I just feel a little unwilling."
"Don't say you are not willing to give in, even I am not willing to give in." Qiao Liang sighed and helped Cai Minghai to the position of director. He asked Feng Yunming to do it. Now that he has only been in office for a few days, he will be fucked off, which also means that Qiao Liang
All the previous hard work was in vain.
After hearing what Qiao Liang said, Cai Minghai said with relief, "County Magistrate, how about I go back to the Safety Supervision Bureau?"
"With your current level, it's not appropriate to go back to the Work Safety Bureau." Qiao Liang waved his hand, "Go to the city. If you go to the city, there will be more room for improvement in the future."
"I still tend to stay." Cai Minghai frowned.
Hearing what Cai Minghai said, Qiao Liang was also a little confused, but when he thought it was too early to say this, Qiao Liang simply said, "Okay, don't think about this now, we will talk about it later."
The two chatted, and when the food was served, Qiao Liang drank with Cai Minghai.
The two of them drank for a while before Lu Qian arrived. Qiao Liang addressed Lu Qian's position in front of Cai Minghai and said, "Bureau Lu, you are late, please punish yourself with a drink first."
"I rushed all the way." Lu Qian rolled her eyes at Qiao Liang and looked at the empty bottles of beer on the table, "You guys drank a lot."
"Lao Cai wants to drink more tonight, so I'm going to accompany him." Qiao Liang smiled, "You must be hungry after coming all the way here. Eat something first."
Lu Qian was not polite. She sat down and poured a bowl of hot soup. Then she poured herself a glass of wine and said to Cai Minghai, "Lao Cai, I won't say anything more. People will inevitably have temporary setbacks. You
Don’t take it too seriously, just calm down.”
"Thank you, Bureau Lu, for your concern." Cai Minghai nodded and smiled, then said to Lu Qian after a moment's hesitation, "Bureau Lu, we who work in criminal investigations sometimes rely on intuition when handling cases. That kind of intuition is refined through thousands of trials. It is
After experiencing many cases, we have developed a keen sense for solving crimes. I wonder if you will feel this way?"
"Yes, I feel the same way. Sometimes I tend to rely on intuition to find evidence clues." Lu Qian nodded with deep understanding. This may be a resonance between them as criminal investigators.
Hearing that Lu Qian agreed with her statement, Cai Minghai's expression brightened, "Bureau Lu, I have always had doubts about Liu Liang's death. Even now that the provincial autopsy test results have come out, I still feel that something is wrong. This may be said to be
An intuition of mine."
"Do you have doubts about the provincial autopsy results?" Lu Qian's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Logically speaking, I shouldn't doubt the autopsy results of the provincial department. After all, I sought support from the provincial department. Now I have to accept the autopsy results of the provincial department, and I am not qualified to question it. But regarding Liu Liang, I think
There are too many coincidences," Cai Minghai said.
"There are many coincidences, so it may not be a coincidence." Lu Qian raised her eyebrows and glanced at Cai Minghai, "Lao Cai, if you think the provincial autopsy results are unreliable, then I will help you arrange it.
, take some autopsy specimens and send them to the ministry for testing."
"Is that okay?" Cai Minghai's eyes lit up and he looked at Lu Qian.
"It's definitely possible, but it will take some time. If the test results from the company are consistent, then there's really nothing to doubt." Lu Qian said.
"Well, if the test results in the company headquarters are consistent with those in the office, then I have absolutely nothing to say." Cai Minghai smiled bitterly.
"Okay, let's do it like this. Take some specimens and send them to the ministry for testing. I'll take care of it." Lu Qian waved her hand and settled the matter directly.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Bureau Lu." Cai Minghai said gratefully.
"It's just a piece of cake, nothing to worry about." Lu Qian said with a smile, "Actually, if you apply through normal channels yourself, it will definitely be no problem."
"That will take more time. I'm afraid of long nights and dreams." Cai Minghai shook his head. The advantage of doing this through Lu Qian is that it is relatively secretive and can be hidden from other people. If he applies through normal channels to be sent to the ministry for testing
, others soon knew what he was going to do, and now Lu Qian took the initiative, which saved Cai Minghai a lot of trouble.
At this time, Qiao Liang asked, "Lao Cai, who is Tao Wang, the executive deputy director of your county bureau?"
"I really don't know about this. I haven't been in the county bureau for a long time, so I don't really know his details yet. I only know that he and Sun Dongchuan were very close when Sun Dongchuan was still there." Cai Minghai shook his head and said.
Qiao Liang frowned slightly. He had actually asked Cai Minghai a similar question before, and Cai Minghai's answer at that time was similar to this one.
"After you were suspended, the city immediately appointed Tao Wang as acting director. It seems that he has someone above him." Qiao Liang said again. He had met Tao Wang two or three times, but he was not very impressed.
"If he has someone in the city, then after Sun Dongchuan's accident, Tao Wang should also hope to compete for the position of director." Cai Minghai said.
"That's right!" Qiao Liang patted his head, "So, Tao Wang's heel is actually still in the county. Could it be that he is from Secretary Miao's side?"
"Maybe." Cai Minghai said uncertainly.
"Forget it, it's useless to say this now. Watch his words and his actions. It's easy to tell who this Tao Wang is after looking back." Qiao Liang curled his lips, picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, let's
Let’s have a drink together, the three of us.”
The three of them picked up their wine glasses and had a drink. For the next time, they chatted casually. Knowing that Cai Minghai was in a bad mood, Qiao Liang also deliberately diverted the conversation and only talked about some interesting things in life.
It was past nine o'clock, and Cai Minghai was already drunk, so the three of them ended the drinking party tonight.
Qiao Liang and Lu Qian saw Cai Minghai off together, and then they took a taxi back to Qiao Liang's dormitory.
"Are you staying in a hotel or my dormitory tonight?" Qiao Liang asked in the car.
"Do you want me to stay in a hotel or your dormitory?" Lu Qian looked at Qiao Liang with a smile.
"It's up to you. Anyway, Secretary Liao didn't let me stay at your house before." Qiao Liang chuckled, "Besides, I also have extra rooms in my dormitory."
"Damn it, can't you take the initiative to invite me?" Lu Qian twisted Qiao Liang's arm angrily.
"Can't you be gentler? How come a girl always strikes so harshly?" Qiao Liang grinned in pain. This girl always strikes lightly.
"I did it on purpose. I asked you, did you and Ye Xinyi work together in Songbei? Did you do anything shameful?" Lu Qian glared at Qiao Liang.
"If you keep thinking like this, what else can I say?" Qiao Liang glanced at Lu Qian, "She and I are very innocent, including me and you, aren't we also very innocent?"
"You bastard, do you want to be irresponsible to me?" Lu Qian jumped in anger.
"I haven't done anything to you." Qiao Liang muttered in a low voice.
When Lu Qian heard this, her eyebrows stood up, and she was about to give Qiao Liang a good look. At this time, Qiao Liang inadvertently glanced out the window, suddenly stunned, and quickly signaled Lu Qian not to cause trouble, and then said to the taxi driver, "Master,
Slow down a little."
The driver nodded and slowed down,
"What's wrong?" Lu Qian looked at Qiao Liang doubtfully.
Qiao Liang did not speak, but turned to stare out the window. They happened to pass by Songbei Hotel at this moment, and saw several men talking and laughing at the door of the hotel who had just walked out of it. The one walking in front was Miao Pei.
Long and Wu Jiang, and Qiao Liang happened to recognize the other two people next to them.
Damn it, it turns out these people are mixed together! (To be continued)
