Back in the car, Xiao Wu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw him coming back so quickly, and asked: "What's wrong?" Liang Jian didn't say anything. He stared at the document bag for a long time before he managed to calm down. He raised his head and said to Xiao Wu: "Drive, come back."
Taihe."
Xiao Wu was startled again, but he saw something wrong with Liang Jian's face in the rearview mirror, so he glanced at the document bag placed on Liang Jian's lap. Then he silently started the car and left.
When I went back, the speed was much slower. When I returned to Taihe, it was already late at night. Liang Jian held the document bag but never had the courage to open it, and finally put it in the drawer.
Just as he put the things away, he suddenly heard someone shouting downstairs: "It's a fire. Come and put out the fire." Liang Jian was startled. He rushed to the window and looked down. There was a bright light somewhere in the garden downstairs.
The fire was swaying in the wind, and sparks were constantly being blown up into the sky, and then disappeared into the darkness.
Although the man shouted loudly, the fire was actually not big. Most of the plants in the garden were evergreen, and they were often cleaned, so there were few combustibles. Liang Jian watched as the fire was put out quickly. After a while,
Xiaowu, who had gone downstairs to take a shower, came up. Liang Jian asked casually: "There was a fire downstairs just now. Did you see it?"
Xiao Wu replied: "When I came up just now, I heard the waiter saying that someone seemed to be burning paper over there. The wind blew the sparks away, and they happened to blow to the garbage pile next to it, and they started to burn! However, things
It’s small, the fire is not big, there’s no problem.”
After listening to Xiao Wu's words, Liang Jian frowned and asked, "What was the cause of the fire you just mentioned?"
Xiao Wu glanced at him and said: "Someone is burning paper down there." After saying that, he paused before continuing: "It seems that today is Chen Qing's first seven."
The so-called first seven days are the seventh day after death. People in the past were superstitious and believed that the soul will come back on the seventh day after death. Therefore, people in the past attached great importance to the first seven days, and rich people would
Make a big deal and invite some monks and Taoists to chant sutras and so on, hoping that the soul of the deceased will be reincarnated early, into a good family, and have a stable and wealthy next life. Those who have no money will also burn more paper money on this day, just to
I beg him not to be too sad while he is down here. Although the economy is better now and people's thinking is more advanced than before, there are still people who remember these things.
Liang Jian thought of the cufflinks and the USB flash drive locked in the safe in the bedroom, and his mood instantly became very bad. He glanced at Xiao Wu and felt that what he just said seemed to be hinting at something.
.
Liang Jian knew that Xiao Wu must have some objections to him giving up pursuing Chen Qing's case. But there were some things that Liang Jian couldn't explain to Xiao Wu. He turned into the bedroom irritably.
The night has never been so long. Liang Jian was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, some people and things would repeatedly appear in his mind, which made him upset.
Finally, it was dawn. Liang Jian dragged his tired body, got up, and walked to the mirror in front of the bathroom to look at himself. In the mirror, he seemed to have aged several years. His messy hair was covered with bloodshot eyes.
Eyes, heavy bags under the eyes, and a face full of troubles.
Liang Jian hated himself like this, but he couldn't get rid of the inner demons that had been troubling him for many days. The cold water splashed on his face, and it was as cold as a knife, mercilessly licking his face.
The stinging pain on his skin instantly woke him up a lot.
Outside the bathroom, Lu Ping opened the door and walked in. She put breakfast on the table one by one. After arranging it, she stood next to the dining car, with a look of hesitation suddenly appearing on her face.
When Liang Jian came out, she was still standing there. Liang Jian looked at her in surprise. Before, she had brought breakfast and set it up before leaving. She would come back to clean up after Liang Jian and the others left. Liang Jian asked:
"Is something wrong?"
Lu Ping lowered her head and wrung her hands in front of her, indicating her uneasiness, nervousness and hesitation.
"Just say what you want to say, it doesn't matter." Liang Jian encouraged her, and then she hesitated and said: "Secretary Liang, they all said that the child in Xiaoqing's belly is yours, is it true?"
When she said the last few words, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Liang Jian. The light in her eyes made Liang Jian afraid to look directly at her for a moment.
Liang Jian was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. He suddenly became curious about Lu Ping and asked her, "Why do you ask me that?"
Lu Ping lowered her head again and replied in a low voice: "When Xiaoqing was alive, I had a good relationship. She told me that you were a good person."
This was the second time Liang Jian heard someone tell him that Chen Qing said he was a good person. The first time was from Chen Qing's younger brother. The second time was from Lu Ping. Liang Jian was a little stunned. He didn't know how to answer it.
talk.
After a while, Liang Jian regained consciousness, smiled bitterly, and said: "Before Chen Qing died, she borrowed money from me. At that time, I did not expect that she would commit suicide. If I had guessed, I would definitely find a way to persuade her."
But at this moment, Lu Ping suddenly raised her head and shouted excitedly: "She will not commit suicide!"
Liang Jian was shocked. He asked Lu Ping: "Why are you so sure?"
Lu Ping said: Chen Qing came to her the night before his death and asked her to accompany her to the hospital the next day to beat the child. She had already asked for leave from Manager Zhao!
Liang Jian asked Lu Ping again whether Chen Qing saw anyone or answered any phone calls the night he died. Lu Ping said she didn't know. The only thing she was sure of was that Chen Qing would not commit suicide. But the evidence of homicide was
She has none.
Before she went out, she begged Liang Jian to seek justice for Chen Qing. Liang Jian suddenly thought of the fire last night and asked her, "Did you cause the fire downstairs last night?"
Lu Ping shook her head and said: "It's Xiao Jin at the front desk. In fact, after Xiao Qing's death, someone in the hotel wanted to burn some paper money for Xiao Qing, but Manager Zhao didn't allow it. We had made an appointment to burn it outside tonight.
No one knows why Xiao Jin went to the place where Xiao Qing jumped and burned it first. Besides, the relationship between Xiao Jin and Xiao Qing is not very good."
Lu Ping's words were unintentional. Liang Jian heard them and became suspicious. But when he thought of the agreement between him and the mysterious man, he had to swallow these things.
As soon as Lu Ping went out, Shen Lianqing and Xiao Wu came up. During breakfast, Shen Lianqing told Liang Jian about the wild fishing lake in Qingyang County that the female graduate student had told him before.
When Liang Jian heard this, he thought it was good and asked him casually how he found this place.
Shen Lianqing replied: "It's Xiaoye from the office."
Liang Jian thought for a moment, matched the name with the person in his mind, and said with some surprise: "Is that the graduate student? She, a girl, actually knows this."
Shen Lianqing said with a smile: "I just asked casually at the time, but I didn't expect that she actually knew. However, I checked on the Internet and found that the place has good scenery, good air, and few people. It's just not good at all."
Liang Jian asked: "What's wrong?"
"The road is difficult. You can't drive to Hu Na. You have to walk for more than an hour to get there." Shen Lianqing answered. Liang Jian thought of Huo Jiaju's figure. Unlike Luo Guanzhong, he had a big belly. Although he was not tall. , but he looks quite strong. A tutorial of more than an hour should not be a burden to him. Moreover, since Huo Jiaju likes wild fishing, he must have encountered this kind of situation in the mountains.
When Liang Jian thought of this, he no longer hesitated and said to Shen Lianqing: "Just over there. You should hurry up and prepare fishing supplies in the next two days."
Shen Lianqing nodded.
Liang Jian suddenly had a thought and said to Shen Lianqing: "Ask Xiaoye to get ready too, and we'll go together when the time comes."
Shen Lianqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Although Liang Jian doesn’t know much about this girl Xiaoye, she is a graduate student who has been in the general office for several years and has shown no signs of improvement. This shows that there is no one behind her, and it also shows that she is not a person who is good at means. .
Liang Jian doesn't know whether Huo Jiaju is a good womanizer or not. Even if Huo Jiaju is really a womanizer, Liang Jian can't really send a girl to his wife. But two men are boring, and Liang Jian himself is not good at fishing. If a girl who understands these things is around to help ease the atmosphere, I believe she will have a lot to say and it will be easier to say.
The location was determined, and all that was left was to confirm the time with Huo Jiaju. Liang Jian contacted Huo Jiaju’s secretary Xiao Xu. After expressing his intention, the call was immediately transferred to Huo Jiaju. After hearing what Liang Jian said, he found a very good wild place. After finding the fishing position, Huo Jiaju immediately agreed without saying a word. He also proposed that he would set off after work on Friday, spend the night there and come back the next day.
Although Liang Jian was sure that Huo Jiaju would not refuse, he was still a little surprised that it went so smoothly. After hanging up the phone, considering that time was urgent, Liang Jian immediately asked Shen Lianqing to prepare the necessary things because he was going to camp there. , safety also needs to be considered. But Liang Jian didn’t want many people to know about this meeting with Huo Jiaju. After much deliberation, he finally decided that Liang Jian would go to four people, Shen Lianqing, Xiaowu, Xiaoye, and He himself believes that with Xiaowu here, ordinary things can basically be solved. As for Huo Jiaju, Liang Jian doesn't need to think about it. No matter how bad Huo Jiaju is, he is still a provincial governor. Liang Jian suddenly asked him to go fishing, which means, Presumably he will not be unclear.
Friday's trip is just around the corner. In addition to Shen Lianqing, Liang Jian also needs to prepare. To convince Huo Jiaju, you can't just rely on words. Liang Jian also has to prove that he has enough weight, at least he can deal with Luo Guanzhong. In terms of work, he is on an equal footing with Huo Jiaju.
As for the weights…
Liang Jian believed that Ni Xiuyun's recording and the video later provided to him by the mysterious person were enough to impress Huo Jiaju and let him make a last ditch effort.
Huo Jiaju is still young and has a long career. If his term in Xiling Province ends in such obscurity, it will definitely be a disgrace on his resume. Therefore, Liang Jian can be sure that as long as he gives Huo Jiaju a He will never let this opportunity pass him by.

Regarding the recent case of Chen Qing. The case of Chen Qing foreshadows some things in the future. Some netizens suggested that DNA comparison can be done, which I have also considered. However, although the novel is said to be detached from reality, it is also based on reality. We
You cannot just suspect a person and take his DNA for comparison. You must first have certain evidence to prove that he is related to this matter, right? Of course, if you still disagree, you are welcome to discuss it.

Some netizens mentioned in the comments that Liang Jian should strive for more initiative. Maybe because he is not at this level, it always feels a bit difficult to write. It is like when Liang Jian faces some pressure from the top, there is always a vague feeling.
A feeling of powerlessness. But, I will work hard, just like Liang Jian in the article, working hard to fight against oppression, for myself and for the people I love.

There is no perfect moment in life. Finally, I want to ask, is Liang Jian really that bad?
