Lu Qian continued: "I just returned to Jiangzhou with the suspect at 2 o'clock this morning... Well, this morning I went to Songbei with Qiao Liang to see a friend. We were walking on the mountain road and passed by the Songbei Reservoir.
Comrades from the county bureau are investigating the scene of an unknown body, so please do your best and bring someone over to assist them..."
Qiao Liang listened and thought about it. Lu Qian told Ning Hailong directly. It seemed that she had special considerations. Since they met people from the Songbei County Bureau here, the matter of coming to Songbei cannot be concealed. Sooner or later
Ning Hailong would know, so it would be better to tell him directly.
I can't help but admire Lu Qian's careful consideration of the problem.
After making the call, Lu Qian said to the director: "Detachment Ning will bring people here soon. You can continue. We can't rest this weekend. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, it should be." the director said hurriedly.
Then Lu Qian and Qiao Liang said goodbye and drove away, heading straight to Songbei County.
Lu Qian was deep in thought while driving, looking depressed.
Qiao Liang was also very frustrated. Damn it, Jin Tao was now a key clue in investigating the cause of Fang Xiaoya's father's death, but he suddenly died without any explanation. As soon as Jin Tao died, the clue was cut off.
"What do you think is the cause of Jin Tao's death? Accidentally fell into the water? Suicide? Homicide?" Qiao Liang asked Lu Qian.
Lu Qian frowned and shook her head: "Until the police come up with a conclusion, everything is just guessing."
"Although the police haven't come up with a conclusion yet, my gut feeling is that it was homicide." Qiao Liang shuddered after saying that, and Ning Hailong suddenly appeared in his mind.
However, Ning Hailong was on a business trip to handle the case and returned to Jiangzhou at midnight last night. Obviously, he did not have the time to commit the crime.
Lu Qian's eyelids twitched and she continued to ponder. She didn't know what she thought of.
"If it was a homicide, who did it? Or who ordered it?" Qiao Liang asked again.
Lu Qian turned her head and glanced at Qiao Liang, then sighed: "Don't make random guesses. Case handling depends on evidence. Without evidence, anything you say is useless."
Qiao Liang also sighed: "Damn, all your previous efforts have been wasted. If I had known this, you might as well have controlled Jin Tao in advance."
"Are you blaming me?" Lu Qian glanced at Qiao Liang again.
Qiao Liang shook his head.
"But I can't help but blame myself." Lu Qian looked frustrated and patted the steering wheel heavily.
Seeing Lu Qian blaming herself so much, Qiao Liang couldn't bear it and comforted him: "Although Jin Tao died and the clues were temporarily interrupted, other clues may not be found."
Lu Qian frowned and thought, and murmured: "Did someone notice my investigation into Jin Tao?"
Listening to Lu Qian's words, Qiao Liang knew that she also suspected that Jin Tao's death was abnormal and that it was homicide.
Qiao Liang suddenly remembered something and asked Lu Qian: "Ning Hailong was on a business trip to handle the case. Were you the one who sent him out?"
Lu Qian nodded, then shook her head: "This time I am going to another province to bring a suspect. There was no need for him to go in person, but he took the initiative to ask Ying to go, saying that he would be safe."
Qiao Liang blinked and couldn't help but suspect that there was something fishy going on?
Lu Qian bit her lip and patted the steering wheel again: "No matter what, since I have taken action on this case, although I am temporarily frustrated, I will never give up. I have to get to the bottom of it."
"What are you going to do next?"
Lu Qian thought for a while: "As you said, although the clues on Jin Tao's side are broken, it may not be that there are no other clues. Maybe we should change our thinking..."
Qiao Liang nodded.
Having said that, neither Lu Qian nor Qiao Liang could come up with any better ideas at this time, and the case seemed to be lost and in trouble for a while.
Arriving in Songbei County, Lu Qian said: "Let's go and see the project developed by Fang Xiaoya?"
Qiao Liang nodded, then took out his cell phone to call Fang Xiaoya. Coincidentally, she was at the project construction site and came early this morning.
When they arrived at the project site, they met Fang Xiaoya. Qiao Liang told her about Jin Tao's death. Fang Xiaoya was surprised, disappointed and disappointed, and looked at Lu Qian and Qiao Liang blankly.
Lu Qian understood Fang Xiaoya's mood at the moment very well and comforted: "Xiaoya, don't worry, I will definitely investigate your father's case thoroughly, restore the truth of the matter, and let your father rest in peace."
Qiao Liang also comforted: "Xiaoya, Lu Qian is very dedicated to this case, but this fact is so unexpected that no one expected..."
Fang Xiaoya sighed and nodded gratefully to Lu Qian.
Lu Qian suddenly laughed: "In the face of setbacks, we must be optimistic and cheer up. What a big deal. I firmly believe that all good and evil in this world are rewarded. Bad people can be rampant for a while, but the legal network is wide and open.
If you don’t miss it, you will definitely be severely punished by the law in the end.”
Lu Qian's words seemed to comfort Fang Xiaoya and Qiao Liang, and also seemed to encourage herself.
Fang Xiaoya nodded, and then took Lu Qian and Qiao Liang to visit the project site. After walking around, he saw that it was almost noon, so he invited them to have lunch.
"Mr. Qiao, on the way here, didn't you say you wanted to treat me to game from the mountains?" Lu Qian said with a smile.
Qiao Liang really didn't know where to find game in Songbei Mountain this season, so he just looked at Fang Xiaoya.
Fang Xiaoya said: "It is illegal to eat game. Director Lu Da can't break the law knowingly. I don't think you should eat game. There is a bachelor's chicken restaurant on the outskirts of the county. The taste is quite good. How about we go and try it?"
"Okay, then let's not eat game meat and go eat bachelor's chicken." Lu Qian said.
"Your police car is too eye-catching, take my car." Fang Xiaoya pointed to her car, "I didn't bring a driver today, so I drove here by myself."
Lu Qian nodded, and then said: "By the way, are you familiar with Songbei County Party Secretary Miao Peilong?"
Fang Xiaoya and Qiao Liang nodded.
"How about inviting Mr. Miao County to eat Bachelor's Chicken with us?" Lu Qian asked tentatively.
Fang Xiaoya and Qiao Liang looked at each other, and Fang Xiaoya said: "Qiao Liang, can you try calling Secretary Miao?"
"Okay, I'm afraid he will go back to Jiangzhou on the weekend." Qiao Liang took out his cell phone and called Miao Peilong, and the call was answered immediately.
Miao Peilong is in Songbei, busy in the office. Since he became the county party committee secretary, he has been busy with work and rarely returns to Jiangzhou on weekends.
After hearing Qiao Liang's explanation, Miao Peilong readily agreed, and everyone agreed to meet at the Bachelor's Chicken restaurant.
Then Fang Xiaoya drove Lu Qian and Qiao Liang straight to the Singles' Chicken Shop. On the way, Lu Qian said: "It seems that Secretary Miao is really, as you said, devoted to work and doesn't go home on weekends."
"It is a blessing for the people of the whole county to have such a good secretary who is dedicated to the people in Songbei." Fang Xiaoya said with emotion while driving.
"Xiaoya, you are lucky to have a good classmate like Qiao Liang who is upright and upright." Lu Qian imitated Fang Xiaoya's tone.
Fang Xiaoya smiled and turned to look at Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang laughed but said nothing.
When we arrived at the Bachelor's Chicken restaurant, Miao Peilong also arrived and shook hands with Lu Qian warmly.
Lu Qian looked at Miao Peilong and said with a smile: "Xiaoya and Qiao Liang have heard Secretary Miao's name for a long time and know that Secretary Miao is a good official who is dedicated to the people. It is a pleasure to meet him today."
"Ashamed, ashamed." Miao Peilong said modestly, after all, she came from the central government department and took a temporary position. She has seen many officials. Although she is only a deputy department, she has no restraint in front of her and speaks easily.
freely.
Qiao Liang also felt this. Although Lu Qian was similar in age to him, she had much more experience and knowledge than him.
Perhaps this is the gap caused by location and status.
