Qiao Liang was lost in thought. It was not until Cai Minghai waved his hand in front of him that Qiao Liang came back to his senses.
"County Magistrate Qiao, what are you thinking about?" Cai Minghai asked.
"It's nothing, I always feel like something is weird, but I can't figure out why." Qiao Liang said.
Cai Minghai laughed when he heard this and said, "County Magistrate Qiao, maybe you work too hard and think too much."
"Maybe." Qiao Liang smiled and shook his head, thinking that maybe he was suspicious.
Thinking of Huang Hongmei's case, Qiao Liang asked again, "Bureau Cai, what's going on with Huang Hongmei's case now?"
"It's still the same, there is no substantial breakthrough yet." Cai Minghai smiled bitterly.
"Then what are your next steps to solve the case?" Qiao Liang asked.
"Someone among the hotel staff must have seen who the other person was who entered the room that night, so I plan to try to see if I can get a breakthrough from them. This novel was first published by Qiu Shu Bang," Cai Minghai said.
This is what he is doing now, because according to Qiao Liang's suggestion, Jiang Hui cannot be moved unless absolutely necessary, so he can only start with the hotel staff.
"There must be insiders among those staff members, but they are probably all under a silence order, otherwise they would have told the truth a long time ago," Qiao Liang said.
"Well, so now we can only work slowly and see if we can get a breakthrough from someone." Cai Minghai nodded and said.
"That's all it can do." Qiao Liang sighed. He knew that this matter couldn't be rushed, so he didn't put any pressure on Cai Minghai.
The two were chatting. Ling Hongwei arrived more than half an hour later. When he entered the box and saw someone else, Ling Hongwei was stunned for a moment. Qiao Liang took the initiative to stand up and introduce, "Ling Jian, this is Cai Minghai. The provincial department is here to meet you.
The person who was replaced is now the deputy director of our county bureau."
"Hello, Bureau Cai." Ling Hongwei heard this and reached out to shake Cai Minghai's hand. While looking at Cai Minghai, he cast an inquiring look at Qiao Liang. When Qiao Liang nodded, Ling Hongwei understood that this was one of his own.
The three of them chatted for a while and then took their seats. Qiao Liang saw that Ling Hongwei was a little downcast and couldn't help but said, "Ling Jian, if you have the truth, you will have a long time to come. A temporary failure is nothing. Don't let your fighting spirit be dampened."
"My fighting spirit has been dampened. I just feel that I'm so fucking stupid. Some of the leaders above are playing tricks of power and have no right and wrong in their eyes. It's really heartbreaking." Ling Hongwei sighed.
"Ling Jian, we don't need to worry about others. We just need to do our own thing well. We must firmly believe that the right path in the world is subject to vicissitudes of life. Even if some leaders have problems, most people are still good." Qiao Liang said.
"Well, I'm just complaining. We have to continue fighting. I don't believe in evil. Can some people cover the sky with just one hand?" Ling Hongwei was full of fighting spirit and once again showed his unwillingness to admit defeat.
Seeing this, Qiao Liang smiled and said, "What I want is this spiritual energy. Come on, let the three of us have a drink tonight."
Qiao Liang opened the wine as he spoke, filled a cup for everyone, and said with a smile, "Let's just drink the first cup..."
The three of them chatted while drinking, and the topic was naturally inseparable from Li Jiangkun's case. When Ling Hongwei learned from Cai Minghai that Li Jiangkun's house was searched before the fire, he was not surprised at all and said, "There is a ghost inside us.
When I came to Songbei from my work with the investigators, the news was leaked, and it was too late for me to call County Magistrate Qiao."
Ling Hongwei looked at Cai Minghai and said, "Bureau Cai, please put more thought into this fire case at Li Jiangkun's house. If you can find out something, it might also be helpful to Li Jiangkun's case."
"No problem, County Magistrate Qiao originally told me to investigate this case carefully, and I will arrange for someone to follow him." Cai Minghai nodded.
"Then thank you to Director Cai. Let's work together on both sides. Maybe we can get a surprise." Ling Hongwei said and took out an invoice from his pocket. "This is the invoice for the Cartier diamond necklace found on Li Jiangkun. Look.
This invoice issuance date is in the past few days, and I plan to start with this invoice to see who Li Jiangkun bought such a valuable necklace and gave it to."
"Good guy, a necklace worth hundreds of thousands." Qiao Liang took a look and said in surprise.
"Cartier is an internationally famous luxury brand, and its necklaces are naturally not cheap." Cai Minghai said, "And in our Jiangdong Province, it seems that only the provincial capital Huangyuan has a Cartier store. This Li Jiangkun has worked so hard to specialize
I went to Huangyuan to buy such an expensive necklace, the person I want to give it to is probably very important."
"Not only is it important, this person is probably a woman." Ling Hongwei added.
"Li Jiangkun didn't buy this necklace as a gift for his lover, right?" Cai Minghai continued his analysis.
"It's unlikely. Li Jiangkun and I have worked together in the county for many years. He doesn't seem to be particularly interested in women. I've never heard of him having a lover. This novel was first published by Qiu Shu Bang." Furthermore, don't expect Li Jiangkun to be a generous person.
He is actually very stingy about buying such an expensive necklace. Even if he really has a lover, if he is buying it for his lover or family, he cannot be so generous." Ling Hongwei said about his understanding of Li Jiangkun.
Cai Minghai didn't say anything after hearing this. He didn't know much about the case, and he was even less familiar with Li Jiangkun. He just helped analyze it. Naturally, he didn't have more say than Ling Hongwei. At the moment, he obviously believed in Ling Hongwei's judgment more.
Qiao Liang listened to the analysis of the two people and said, "Anyway, as long as the investigation continues, the truth will come out sooner or later. If Li Jiangkun bought such a valuable necklace to bribe others, then the city, including the county, would allow Li Jiangkun to bribe women."
There shouldn't be many comrades, Ling Jian, you can go back and use the elimination method, maybe you can make some unexpected discoveries."
After saying this, Qiao Liang suddenly looked startled, and suddenly thought of Tang Xiaofei. Luo Fei intervened in Li Jiangkun's case for no reason. Is it because Li Jiangkun bought this expensive necklace and gave it to Tang Xiaofei? Here is Tang Xiaofei.
Working?
When Qiao Liang thought about this, the more he thought about it, the more likely it became, but he also knew that nothing could be done without evidence.
After pondering for a moment, Qiao Liang reminded Ling Hongwei, "Ling Jian, the new Deputy County Magistrate Tang in our county is Secretary Luo's niece. Did you know?"
"What?" Ling Hongwei was surprised, "Deputy County Magistrate Tang is Secretary Luo's niece?"
"That's right." Qiao Liang nodded.
Ling Hongwei was thoughtful. He really didn't know that Tang Xiaofei was Luo Fei's niece. At this time, the information that Qiao Liang accidentally said gave Ling Hongwei some inspiration.
Seeing that what he said had an effect, Qiao Liang said nothing more. He believed that what he could think of, Ling Hongwei could also think of. When it came to handling cases, the other party was the professional. He said what needed to be said, and there was no need to say anything else.
.
Unconsciously, the three of them drank until past ten o'clock, and Qiao Liang was even slightly drunk. Qiao Liang had not drunk so much for a long time, and he still had a headache when he woke up the next day.
In the morning, Qiao Liang came to the office, finished processing the important documents for the day, and then set off for the city.
Qiao Liang's trip to the city was to visit Mayor Guo Xing'an. This was a decision he made after talking to An Zhe on the phone the day before yesterday. He made an appointment with the city government office yesterday, nominally reporting to Guo Xing'an.
The city government office quickly responded to Qiao Liang. Guo Xing'an would squeeze in half an hour to see him at 3 o'clock this afternoon, but Qiao Liang went there early to have lunch in the city.
On this trip to the city, Qiao Liang only brought his secretary Fu Minghai.
After Qiao Liang left for the city, Xu Chan came to Miao Peilong's office.
After closing the office door, Xu Chan walked behind Miao Peilong and gently pinched Miao Peilong's shoulders.
Miao Peilong leaned comfortably on the leather backrest and praised, "Not bad, you are good at this craft."
"I didn't learn it just for you. I know you like massage, so I went to an old Chinese medicine practitioner to do some massage on the xué position. This massage has to be done on the xué position to be effective." Xu Chan said with a smile.
Miao Peilong laughed when he heard this and put his hand on Xu Chan's thigh. Xu Chan blushed and said coquettishly, "The door is unlocked, just in case someone comes in."
"Who dares to come in without knocking? You can come in and out of my office at will." Miao Peilong took his hand back, lit a cigarette and took two puffs, then said, "By the way, why are you free to come to me now?"
this?"
"County Magistrate Qiao went to the city, and I happened to have nothing to do, so I just wanted to come to your place." Xu Chan said.
"Why did Qiao Liang go to the city?" Miao Peilong asked again.
"Go and report to Mayor Guo." Xu Chan replied.
When Miao Peilong heard this, he immediately sneered, "I think Qiao Liang is in a hurry to hug Mayor Guo's lap. An Zhe is about to be transferred, and Qiao Liang will have no backer in the future. I'm afraid he is more anxious than anyone else now."
.”
"That's not the case. I think County Magistrate Qiao is still the same as usual." Xu Chan said.
"He was just pretending." Miao Peilong curled his lips, "Let's see how arrogant he will be in the future."
Miao Peilong said, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. An Zhe was going to be transferred. Miao Peilong was happy in his heart. Once Qiao Liang had no backer in the future, he felt less scrupulous.
, Secondly, since he has now joined Luo Fei's camp, he naturally no longer expects An Zhe to be able to support him in the future, so Miao Peilong is happy to see An Zhe transferred away.
After checking the time, Miao Peilong stood up and said, "Let's go to the hotel. I have to have dinner with the foreign businessman at noon. You should come too."
"Secretary Miao, do those foreign businessmen rely on language? You have been with them personally for several days," Xu Chan said.
"Reliable, how could it be unreliable? Let me tell you, they plan to build a car city in China, and the investment will be at least several billion. If we in Songbei can successfully win this project, it will be a great political achievement.
." Miao Peilong said happily, "And this is my, Miao Peilong's political achievement. With this political achievement, I may be able to reach a higher level in the future."
When Xu Chan heard this, she felt that it was a bit awkward to rely on words, but it didn't dissuade Miao Peilong. Maybe this was really a big foreign-funded project.
