Liang Jian opened the door, and a middle-aged man in a straight suit whom he had met several times was standing at the door with a female secretary. When he saw Liang Jian coming out, he immediately looked up with panic on his face and asked Liang Jian: "What's going on?"
What's going on? What happened?"
After receiving the news from Chu Liang, Liang Jian could no longer trust the hotel. Looking at this face, he felt it was full of hypocrisy. He sneered and said, "Manager Yang, you came in time!"
Manager Yang said with a sneer on his face: "Chairman Liang, this is my dereliction of duty. How is Minister Hu doing now?"
Liang Jian looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's have a few words alone."
Manager Yang asked the secretary to wait outside the door. Liang Jian and he closed the door and walked to the balcony of Hu Xiaoying's room. The sky was still clear when Liang Jian went out this morning, but now a large dark cloud came from nowhere and obscured it.
The sunlight dimmed, and Liang Jian's mood was filled with gloom at this moment.
Liang Jian looked outside the balcony at Ningzhou, which was full of high-rise buildings, and said to Manager Yang who came over and stood next to him: "Manager Yang, considering that we have some friendship in the past, I will just say something today."
Said."
Manager Yang nodded in agreement: "Yes! Yes! Just say it."
Liang Jian didn't look at him and said, "I believe you should have known about the disappearance of Comrade Hu Xiaoying for a long time!"
As soon as Liang Jian said this, Manager Yang's expression suddenly changed and he became uneasy. He hurriedly defended and denied: "Chairman Liang, you can't say this nonsense. Minister Hu is missing? I only found out now!"
Liang Jian didn't believe him, but he said this not because he was sure in his heart, but because he wanted to deceive him. But looking at his expression at this moment, he only saw uneasiness, but no anger, which made him feel a little sure.
Liang Jian asked back: "Really?"
Manager Yang said: "If I had known earlier, wouldn't I have called the police earlier? Chairman Liang, think about it, Minister Hu disappeared in our hotel. This is a big deal. It would not be good for me or our hotel if I kept it secret!"
You also know that I am a businessman, and what a businessman values most is, of course, profit! Why should I do something that is harmful to others and not beneficial to myself! I am not stupid!"
Liang Jian sneered: "You are not stupid! I think you are just too smart."
Manager Yang lost his fear, looked at Liang Jian, and said, "I don't understand what Chairman Liang means."
Liang Jian looked at him and said, "Just now, comrades from the Public Security Department have gone to check the surveillance of your hotel." Liang Jian noticed that when Manager Yang heard the word surveillance, his expression moved. Although it was not obvious,
, but Liang Jian still noticed it.
This made Liang Jian even more certain that there must be something wrong with Manager Yang.
Manager Yang asked: "Have you found any evidence?"
Liang Jian did not answer, but just said: "Manager Yang, for the sake of our previous friendship, I will give you a few words of advice today. Some things should be looked at further. Comrade Hu Xiaoying is a government official, and now she has disappeared for no reason.
Do you think the government will not pursue this matter? If Comrade Hu Xiaoying returns safely, what if something unexpected happens? Manager Yang, do you think you can afford this responsibility?"
Manager Yang's face began to look ugly. His eyes flickered slightly and he said, "Although Minister Hu disappeared in our hotel, we can't blame it entirely on our hotel, right?"
"If your hotel just doesn't protect you well, then it's not a big problem. At most, your position will be removed and the manager's position will be replaced by someone else. But what if..." At this point, Liang Jian paused deliberately and asked Manager Yang
Sweat began to form on his forehead. Liang Jian sneered in his heart and continued: "If it is found out that this matter has something to do with your hotel, especially if it has something to do with you, Manager Yang, do you think the court will sentence you to a murder sentence?"
How many years?"
Manager Yang jumped up immediately and shouted: "Liang Jian, what are you talking nonsense about? What does it mean that it has anything to do with me? Hu Xiaoying is missing. Who knows whether she was kidnapped or left on her own. Why should I go to jail?
!”
Regarding his anger, Liang Jian became more and more certain that there must be something wrong with Manager Yang. He smiled and said: "Manager Yang doesn't have to be so angry, I'm just assuming. If Manager Yang remembers something and wants to tell me, you're welcome
Call me. Manager Yang probably has my phone number."
Manager Yang looked at him without saying a word. Liang Jian didn't mind either and walked out. When he reached the door, he turned to look at Manager Yang who was still on the balcony and said loudly: "Manager Yang, I remember your daughter seems like
Are you still in elementary school?"
Manager Yang's face instantly turned pale on the balcony.
Liang Jian went out. Yao Song looked at him at the door and asked him with his eyes how he was doing. Liang Jian said, go back to the hall first. Liang Jian arranged for two people to guard downstairs, and then took the
Yao Song, Chu Liang and others went to the Public Security Department.
As soon as they arrived, Xia Churong's secretary was already waiting for them at the gate. As soon as the three of them got off the car, the secretary took them directly to see Xia Churong. Chu Liang took out the surveillance video he secretly copied from the monitoring room and briefly reported to Xia Churong.
After that, he and Yao Song went to the technical department to analyze the video. After the two of them left, Xia Churong and Liang Jian sat down. Xia Churong asked Liang Jian: "You are more familiar with Comrade Hu Xiaoying's situation than me. Who do you think is better?"
Is it possible?"
Until now, Liang Jian has been thinking about this issue, who would treat Hu Xiaoying like this. After much thought, he could not think of any more suitable candidate. Hu Xiaoying has now officially become the deputy minister of the Propaganda Department, even if he was with her before
Those who compete for the position of deputy minister have already settled their affairs, so why should they take big risks and do such things that harm others and not benefit themselves? Once such a thing is verified, it will result in dismissal from office and imprisonment!
Moreover, the accident happened to a deputy ministerial-level cadre, which was a bit different from the accidental death of Zhou Yunlong at that time. Zhou Yunlong's case has not been solved yet. A large part of the reason is that some people above him do not want the case to be investigated further. People
Already dead, and on the surface, it was just a hit-and-run case. But Hu Xiaoying was different. Hu Xiaoying was kidnapped from the hotel. Her life or death was uncertain. It was impossible for the government not to investigate strictly, otherwise where would the government's face be?
go?
Inferring from this aspect, Liang Jian felt that it was not people in the government who did this. However, Hu Xiaoying had just arrived in Ningzhou and had not made any big moves. How could she offend those people in society? Thinking about it this way,
I also think people in the government might be more likely.
Liang Jian couldn't figure out the key and couldn't give Xia Churong a guess, so he shook his head and said, "I don't have a clue yet."
Xia Churong mentioned the previous paint incident. So far, nothing has been revealed about the paint incident. However, Xia Churong speculated that the same person may be behind the two incidents. So he hopes that this time, key clues can be found.
After the two chatted for a few more words, Xia Churong still had something to do, and Liang Jian also remembered the video, so he left the office and went directly to the technology department to find Yao Song and the others.
When Liang Jian arrived, Chu Liang was analyzing the video, a bunch of data that Liang Jian couldn't understand. Yao Song stood behind and would say something from time to time. Liang Jian walked over and asked, "How's it going?"
Yao Song replied: "It will probably take another half an hour. If the burned part is because the surveillance was turned off, then we can only start from the hotel. If it is edited out, let's see if Chu Liang can
To get the edited ones back, if that doesn’t work, we still have to start from the hotel.”
After listening to this, Liang Jian felt that the key point was still at the hotel. After thinking about it, he simply stopped waiting for Chu Liang's results and went straight to the hotel. There was a person guarding the front and back doors of the hotel. Liang Jian left the front door alone.
, went directly to the back door. The policeman at the back door was sitting behind a small box next to the back door. He had taken off his police uniform. He found an old clothes from somewhere and put it on. From a distance, it looked like
A homeless man. If it weren't for the more recognizable short-cut hair, Liang Jian wouldn't have recognized it so quickly. Liang Jian walked over, looked at him in surprise, and asked, "What are you?"
He looked up and saw Liang Jian, feeling a little helpless. He stood up and said, "I'm pretending like this just to confuse them. If they don't recognize my identity, it will suddenly feel unreal. This kind of thing is very common in TV dramas."
The disguised surveillance in the movie has now appeared in real life. But with his appearance, the policeman's disguise was in vain.
Liang Jian wisely left the back door. After thinking about it, wandering around like a headless fly would not only not help, but might also cause harm. He had no choice but to suppress his anxiety and went outside, sitting in the car and waiting for Chu Liang.
Telephone.
Not long after, Yao Song's phone call came as expected. The news was not good. The surveillance camera was turned off. From this, it was confirmed that there must be something wrong with the hotel. Liang Jian immediately called Xia Churong.
, told him about the incident, and at the same time euphemistically expressed his wish to strictly investigate the hotel.
Xia Churong has not reported Hu Xiaoying's matter to Governor Zhang and Secretary Hua. If the hotel is to be investigated strictly, it must be reported to them. After Xia Churong thought about it, he said to Liang Jian: "In this case, I will first
Arrange someone to go to the hotel. You can follow up, and I will go to Governor Zhang and Secretary Hua to report. We will do both at the same time, seize the time, and hope to find Comrade Hu Xiaoying as soon as possible."
Naturally, Liang Jian didn't want to waste any more time. He immediately agreed. The people from the Criminal Division came quickly and brought many people. Yao Song and Chu Liang also followed. As soon as they arrived, the director of the Criminal Division who took the lead immediately asked
People guarded the front and back doors. After Liang Jian met with them, the group entered the hotel in a mighty manner. As soon as they entered, Manager Yang came out with a group of people, all with panic expressions. Manager Yang
He managed to remain calm. When he saw Liang Jian and the others, he immediately spoke and said, "What does this mean?"
Liang Jian looked at Manager Yang and said nothing. The director of the criminal department next to him said, "Let's find a room and have a chat."
Manager Yang looked ugly, but couldn't refuse. He had no choice but to take Liang Jian, the Director of the Criminal Division, and two other policemen to an office behind the lobby.
Walking to the door of the office, the director of the Criminal Division suddenly ordered one of the policemen who followed him, saying: "Xiao Liu, go find all the people who were on duty in the monitoring room last night! Go and bring them to me immediately when you get home."
The director of the criminal department had a resolute and resolute temperament, and the people under him also had the same feeling. After saying yes, they left immediately.
After entering the room, the director of the Criminal Division asked Liang Jian: "Chairman Liang, do you come to talk to him, or should I talk to him?"
Liang Jian said: "You are an expert in this area, come on." Liang Jian still has this kind of self-knowledge.
