Fang Xiaoya ordered the dishes and then invited everyone into the private room. Miao Peilong asked his car to go back first.
After entering the private room, the food was served quickly. No one was drinking, and they were chatting while eating. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
Lu Qian ate very happily and kept praising: "Tsk, tsk, although I didn't taste Master Qiao's game, the taste of this bachelor's chicken is really good."
Miao Peilong smiled when he heard Lu Qian call Qiao Liang "Master Qiao" and had an intuition that Lu Qian and Qiao Liang should have a good relationship.
After a while, Lu Qian said again: "Supposedly, this bachelor's chicken is most suitable for bachelors to eat. There are two female bachelors among the four of us. It seems that Xiaoya and I will eat more."
After hearing what Lu Qian said, everyone laughed. Fang Xiaoya looked at Qiao Liang while laughing and thought to herself, this guy is also a bachelor now, but he just can't make it clear.
After finishing the bachelor's chicken with great taste, Lu Qian said: "Everyone, what are your plans for the afternoon?"
Fang Xiaoya said: "I'm going to Huangyuan to do something in the afternoon."
When she heard that Fang Xiaoya was going to Huangyuan, Lu Qian's eyes lit up and she raised her hand: "I'm going too, I want to ride on Boss Fang's dash to Huangyuan."
"What are you going to do?" Qiao Liang stared at Lu Qian.
"I'm going..." Lu Qian rolled her eyes and smiled slyly, "I'm going to Huangyuan to see a friend."
Qiao Liang nodded: "You take the Daben to Huangyuan, where is your car? Can I drive it back?"
"No, leave it at Xiaoya's construction site." Lu Qian shook her head.
Qiao Liang was dumbfounded: "What do you mean, you want me to take the bus back to Jiangzhou?"
Lu Qian chuckled: "Since you accompanied me to Songbei, then be the flower protector to the end and continue to accompany me to Huangyuan."
"This..." Qiao Liang hesitated.
"What is this? Young man, mother-in-law and mother-in-law are not asking for anything. You are not allowed to refuse. Please obey this director immediately." Lu Qian said simply.
Qiao Liang grinned, this girl is so domineering.
Seeing Qiao Liang's expression, Miao Peilong and Fang Xiaoya couldn't help laughing. Fang Xiaoya said: "Qiao Liang, if you have nothing to do, come with us. We all are busy on the road."
Miao Peilong nodded and said: "Yes, it is crowded and lively. In fact, I am going to Huangyuan in the afternoon. A friend's child in the provincial capital is getting married at noon tomorrow..."
Lu Qian was happy: "Okay, Secretary Miao, why don't we all take Xiaoya's big train, and the whole family will be singing and laughing all the way to the provincial capital."
Qiao Liang really had nothing to do on the weekend. Seeing that everyone was going, he agreed.
Before departure, Fang Xiaoya and Miao Peilong were talking about the development of the Cultural Tourism Pioneer Park project, while Lu Qian and Qiao Liang were strolling nearby.
At this time, Lu Qian's cell phone rang. Lu Qian saw the call: "This is from the Ning detachment."
Qiao Liang's eyes lit up: "Use the hands-free answer."
Lu Qian nodded, pressed the speakerphone, and answered Ning Hailong's call.
"Bureau Lu, I'm here at the Songbei Reservoir. I just finished inspecting the site with my comrades from the county bureau and are preparing to have dinner. Where are you and Director Qiao now? Have you had lunch?" Ning Hailong said in a concerned tone.
"Director Qiao and I are in Songbei County. We just had dinner with friends. What's going on with the deceased? Have you found out his identity?" Lu Qian said.
Ning Hailong sighed: "I know the deceased. His name is Jin Tao. He is the boss of a construction company in Jiangzhou."
"Oh, you know him? What a coincidence?" Lu Qian said calmly.
"Yes, Jin Tao used to be a member of society. He committed a crime, and I was the one who handled it. After he was released from prison, he abandoned evil and turned to good, and opened a construction company. He also provided me with some clues to solve the case, which helped me a lot."
Ning Hailong's tone sounded normal.
Qiao Liang frowned slightly. It seemed that Ning Hailong realized that Lu Qian knew that the deceased was Jin Tao and was pretending not to know. Knowing that Jin Tao knew him, he simply tested Lu Qian preemptively.
Lu Qian seemed to be aware of this. Although Ning Hailong said so, she still pretended to know nothing.
"Ning detachment, Jin Tao is the boss of Jiangzhou, why did he suddenly appear in Songbei Reservoir, and why did he suddenly die? How did you analyze this matter?"
Ning Hailong said: "Based on the on-site investigation and my previous understanding of Jin Tao's hobby of fishing, my comrades from the county bureau and I made a preliminary analysis that Jin Tao should have used the weekend to go fishing in Songbei Reservoir and accidentally made a mistake while fishing.
Falling into water and drowning..."
"Why do you think so?" Lu Qian asked.
"First, at a resort hotel near the reservoir, we found the room Jin Tao had booked there; second, we found fishing tools laid out near where Jin Tao's body was salvaged, but no one claimed it; third, the forensic examination of Jin Tao's body
Preliminary inspection showed no external injuries on the body..."
Ning Hailong's answer was very reasonable and seemed to be unable to find any flaws.
Lu Qian thought for a while: "What about Jin Tao's ID?"
"Found it in the resort hotel room, he didn't have it with him."
Lu Qian nodded: "Detachment Ning, according to your analysis, Jin Tao shouldn't have been killed by him?"
"This is the preliminary analysis. Of course, the forensic doctor will have to conduct an autopsy on Jin Tao's body for further identification."
"Jin Tao came to Songbei Reservoir to fish this time. Did he bring any followers with him?"
"Preliminary investigation revealed that he came alone and drove an off-road vehicle, which was parked in the courtyard of the resort hotel. By the way, according to the waiter at the hotel restaurant, Jin Tao drank a lot of liquor alone in the restaurant last night.
Then someone who went fishing said that night fishing was interesting..."
"Oh, so it seems that Jin Tao was drunk and fell into the water."
"Very possible."
Lu Qian thought for a moment: "Okay, Detachment Ning, thank you for your hard work. If anything happens later, keep in touch."
"Okay, Director Lu." Ning Hailong hung up the phone.
Lu Qian put away her phone and looked at Qiao Liang: "Did you hear everything clearly?"
"Yes, it seems that this case is very simple. Team Ning's report was flawless."
Although Qiao Liang said this, he was still very suspicious in his heart. Jin Tao's death was neither early nor late, but happened at the most critical time. Is it just a coincidence?
Also, if a person with rich counter-reconnaissance experience wants to kill Jin Tao without leaving any trace, it shouldn't be difficult.
But mere suspicion is useless. The key is to have evidence, and the evidence seems to be hard to find right now.
Qiao Liang looked at Lu Qian, who was frowning and thinking.
After a while, Fang Xiaoya and Miao Peilong came over. Everyone got in the car. Fang Xiaoya drove on the highway and went straight to Huangyuan.
On the way, Lu Qian was sitting in the passenger seat, looking forward thoughtfully, wondering what she was thinking about.
Qiao Liang and Miao Peilong were sitting in the back seat, chatting about irrelevant things.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the car got off the highway and Fang Xiaoya said: "Secretary Miao, where are you going and where will you stay at night?"
Miao Peilong mentioned the name of the hotel, and then said: "My friend rented that hotel, and all the guests from out of town stayed there."
Fang Xiaoya nodded, then glanced at Lu Qian: "What about you?"
Lu Qian came to her senses from deep thought: "I'm staying at a friend's house."
"Where is your friend's house?" Fang Xiaoya asked.
Lu Qian rolled her eyes: "An apartment near the Provincial Party Committee Family Courtyard."
Fang Xiaoya nodded: "Depending on the distance, I will send you off first, then Secretary Miao."
Qiao Liang interrupted at this time: "Director Lu Da, what does your friend do? Is he a man or a woman?"
Lu Qian turned around and pursed her lips with a smile: "What? Master Qiao checks the household registration? Inquiries into my private life?"
