Ding Xiaoyun cleared his throat and said: "Mayor Xiao, the main reason we came here this time is to report a situation to you."
"Well, you say." Xiao Shunhe nodded.
Ding Xiaoyun turned to look at Qiao Liang: "County Magistrate Qiao, it's up to you to tell Mayor Xiao the specific situation."
Qiao Liang nodded and told Xiao Shunhe in detail about the girl He Xiaomei from No. 1 Middle School in Liangbei County who jumped off the building. Qiao Liang did not add any exaggeration, but told the truth about the situation he currently knew.
Xiao Shunhe frowned after hearing this: "Is what you learned true?"
"Mayor Xiao, I can assure you with my personality that everything I just said is true." Qiao Liang said solemnly.
Xiao Shunhe heard this, knocked on the table with chopsticks, and said angrily: "If this is true, then this Zheng Dehai is a scum. How could such a scum appear in our Xizhou cadre team!"
It's no wonder Xiao Shunhe was so angry, because he also has a daughter who just finished the college entrance examination last year and is now a freshman in college. She is one year older than He Xiaomei. Hearing such a thing, Xiao Shunhe was particularly angry.
"Mayor Xiao, the information currently grasped by County Magistrate Qiao cannot be used as evidence, so further investigation by relevant departments is required." Ding Xiaoyun said.
"I understand what you mean." Xiao Shunhe nodded slightly. Zheng Dehai is a municipal cadre. Ding Xiaoyun and Qiao Liang came here obviously hoping that he would arrange for the relevant city departments to intervene in the investigation. With his position in the city, Without alarming Tengda, there were some departments that he couldn't arrange, so he could only do it within his own capabilities.
At this time, Xiao Shunhe's secretary brought in two lunch boxes. Xiao Shunhe greeted Ding Xiaoyun and Qiao Liang to eat and said, "Well, I'll arrange for the relevant departments to investigate this matter."
"That's great. With the city's intervention, we don't need to worry anymore." Qiao Liang said happily.
"Tomorrow I will say hello to the comrades from the relevant departments and ask them to send people down as soon as possible." Xiao Shunhe nodded, then waved to Qiao Liang and Ding Xiaoyun, "Eat, otherwise it will get cold later..."
The three of them were chatting while eating. Xiao Shunhe asked Ding Xiaoyun and Qiao Liang about the relevant work situation in Liangbei County. This office lunch finally turned into a temporary work report meeting. Ding Xiaoyun reported to Xiao Shunhe. Xiao Shunhe was quite satisfied after hearing the results of poverty alleviation work in Liangbei County, and Qiao Liang made a few comments on their work.
Finally, Xiao Shunhe looked at Qiao Liang: "Comrade Qiao Liang, Liangbei County, as the most remote and backward county in Northwest Province, has the heaviest poverty alleviation task, but since we serve this bowl of public rice and become this cadre, we cannot have any Fear of difficulties, I hope you can start the poverty alleviation work in Liangbei County and do it well.
You also participated in today's provincial poverty alleviation work conference. You should know that the top and bottom attach great importance to poverty alleviation work and do not allow any formality to perfunctory superiors. Therefore, you in Liangbei County must have a sense of urgency that you can't wait for others.
After all, you were ranked last in the province last year, and you were singled out and criticized, which made our city make a fool of itself. Now the province has to introduce specific assessment indicators for poverty alleviation work. If you fail the assessment, you will be held accountable. , therefore, you cannot slack off even a little bit."
"Mayor Xiao, don't worry. From the first day I took over the poverty alleviation work, I have been walking on thin ice and dare not relax for a moment." Qiao Liang said with a serious face, "Poverty alleviation is the greatest livelihood of the people, and poverty alleviation is the greatest responsibility. As a The deputy county magistrate in charge of poverty alleviation always keeps this sentence in mind and will always use it to motivate himself."
"Well said." Xiao Shunhe clapped his hands lightly and looked at Qiao Liang with admiration, "Comrade Qiao Liang, I have remembered everything you said. I am looking forward to what kind of achievements Liangbei's poverty alleviation work can achieve this year." results."
Hearing this, Qiao Liang immediately climbed up the pole: "Mayor Xiao, we always welcome you to visit Liangbei to inspect and guide our poverty alleviation work."
"Yes." Xiao Shunhe nodded with a smile.
The next time, the three of them chatted for a while, and it wasn't until after nine o'clock that Qiao Liang and Ding Xiaoyun left Xiao Shunhe's office.
It was getting late, so the two of them stayed in the city for the night.
Early the next morning, the two returned to Liangbei.
In the morning, Qiao Liang first read the newspaper as usual, and then browsed the news of the day online. After finding that there was no news related to his being caught for prostitution the night before, he felt at ease. Liao Gufeng had intervened in this matter, so it was okay. They should not be able to stir up any trouble, and nothing will happen in the future.
While Qiao Liang was thinking this, Jincheng and Liu Guangan took a car to the airport and prepared to take a flight to the capital.
In the office, Qiao Liang reviewed the documents for a while. Near noon, Qiao Liang went to the county hospital to visit He Xiaodong.
He Xiaodong had to stay in the hospital for several days because of a broken leg. When Qiao Liang arrived, He Xiaodong was trying to sit up and eat lunch with the help of a nurse.
Seeing Qiao Liang coming, He Xiaodong hurriedly said: "Boss, you are here."
"Yeah." Qiao Liang nodded and asked with concern, "How is your recovery going?"
"It will take a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, so let's do that. It's just a rest after all." He Xiaodong chuckled and asked the nurse to leave first, then looked at Qiao Liang nervously, "Boss, what's going on with my sister?"
"Don't worry, I came here just to talk to you about this." Qiao Liang smiled, "Relevant departments in the city will come down to investigate your sister's matter soon. I believe the truth will come to light."
"Really?" He Xiaodong looked at Qiao Liang in surprise and said excitedly, "Thank you, leader. If it weren't for the inconvenience of my legs, I would have thought of kowtow to you."
"Tsk, why are you always kowtowing? Don't mention this again in the future." Qiao Liang said.
"Boss, I really thank you." He Xiaodong said with a smile.
"Actually, it's not necessary. These are all what I should do." Qiao Liang waved his hand. Now he is in charge of education. If there is really a secret behind He Xiaomei's death, he, the deputy county magistrate in charge of education, cannot sit idly by and watch. in spite of.
As Qiao Liang spoke, he looked at He Xiaodong's injured foot and asked, "Has the police given you any news about you being beaten?"
"No." He Xiaodong shook his head.
"Then when people from the city come to investigate your sister, they may also ask you to find out about the situation. You should also tell the investigators about being beaten," Qiao Liang said.
"Leader, I don't need to do this. It's just a small matter." He Xiaodong scratched his head and said.
"What if someone instigated you to do this?" Qiao Liang looked at He Xiaodong and smiled slightly, "Just do as I say, you can't go wrong."
"Okay." He Xiaodong nodded, he now had no doubt about Qiao Liang.
The two chatted for a while, and Qiao Liang left the hospital.
At this time, in the city, two cars drove out of the compound and headed straight to Liangbei.
There are not many secrets in the small county. The first place people from the city visited was the County No. 1 Middle School, and the news spread quickly.
County Bureau, Director Feng Zhanming was shocked when he heard that someone from the city went to the County No. 1 Middle School to learn about the girl who jumped off the building. He pondered for a long time in the office. Feng Zhanming came to the county compound. Shang Ke happened to have just come back at this time. Feng Zhanming Almost following each other into the office.
"Old Feng, what's the matter?" Shang Ke asked when he saw Feng Zhanming coming and asked Feng Zhanming to sit down.
"County Magistrate Shang, there is something about Magistrate Zheng that I think it is necessary to report to you." Feng Zhanming said.
"What's the matter?" Shang Ke looked at Feng Zhanming doubtfully.
"County Magistrate Shang, here's what happened. A few days ago, a girl jumped off the building in County No. 1 Middle School..." Feng Zhanming briefly explained the matter.
After hearing this, Shang Ke stared: "You mean... that the girl named He Xiaomei who jumped off the building has something to do with Lao Zheng?"
"I can't say for sure..." Feng Zhanming said carelessly, "According to the situation at the scene, the girl did commit suicide by jumping off the building. However, when we were sorting out some of her belongings at the scene, County Magistrate Zheng called me Phone, I want to take away that girl’s cell phone.”
Shang Ke frowned when he heard this and stared at Feng Zhanming: "Is that just that?"
"Yes, that's it." Feng Zhanming nodded and said, "But only County Magistrate Zheng knows what was in the cell phone of the girl who jumped off the building. Magistrate Zheng took the phone away and asked me to keep it secret for him. , I thought it was just a mobile phone, so I kept silent."
"Old Feng, Old Feng, what do you want me to say about you?" Shang Ke pointed at Feng Zhanming angrily, "Every one of you has become more capable. You hid it from me when nothing happened, but now that you see it It’s wonderful, so you came to me quickly to report the news.”
"County Magistrate Shang, I really don't know what's going on. Magistrate Zheng just wants to take away the girl's cell phone, so I can't refute his face." Feng Zhanming said with a bitter smile.
Shang Ke looked at Feng Zhanming angrily. This Feng Zhanming was also a drama star. When nothing happened, he helped Zheng Dehai cover up and got Zheng Dehai's favor. Now that he saw something was wrong, he immediately sold Zheng Dehai.
At this time, Feng Zhanming's cell phone rang. Feng Zhanming picked up the phone and saw that it was Zheng Dehai calling. Feng Zhanming couldn't help but show the phone to Shang Ke and said, "This is from Magistrate Zheng."
"Take it, why don't you pick it up and see me?" Shang Ke said angrily.
When Feng Zhanming heard this, he immediately picked up the phone and pressed the speakerphone button. He heard Zheng Dehai's urgent voice coming from the other end of the phone: "Old Feng, there is someone from the city..."
As soon as Zheng Dehai opened his mouth, Feng Zhanming interrupted, "Old Zheng, I am with County Magistrate Shang now. If you have anything to say, you can come directly to Magistrate Shang and talk to him."
"..."
On the other end of the phone, Zheng Dehai was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, opposite Zheng Dehai, stood Li Yijia, He Xiaomei's English teacher, who also looked anxious.
