Mai Kangmei's seemingly casual question was actually a sign of displeasure. Mu Lianheng knew clearly that it was Wei Shumin's memorial service, but he pretended not to know and deliberately sent someone to inquire while helping Mai Kangmei.
Mei went to the VIP reception room to rest.
After a while, Mu Lianheng received a reply and hurriedly came to report: "This is the memorial service for the female vice president of Hongqi Steel Plant who committed suicide. They were the same people who blocked our convoy on the road just now."
Mai Kangmei asked curiously: "Don't you mean people with military background?"
Mu Lianheng explained: "It should be the armored vehicles of Chenguang Factory. They used to be an arsenal and they produced this. Mr. Chen and I saw it in their factory when we went to inspect the reorganization project."
Mai Kangmei said angrily: "Is there no law in Jiangbei City? Let them do this!"
Mu Lianheng smiled bitterly and said: "There is no way. Mayor Hu has gone to attend Wei Shumin's memorial service. Auntie, please don't be angry. There must be a reason for this."
Although Mai Kangmei was not a shrewd woman, she came from a family of cadres and had been exposed to it for many years. She understood some truths at least. When she thought about her husband’s memorial service that no important leading cadres attended, she felt sad and cried: "
Old Chen, you left too early, leaving us orphans and widowed mothers to be bullied. If you were still here, who would dare to be so presumptuous?"
Chen Xuanwu heard this and became angry. He called over a few of his subordinates and whispered a few words. The capable young men with crew cut heads left in response. When Mu Lianheng saw him, he just pretended not to see him and just tried to persuade Mai Kangmei: "Auntie, you are welcome."
Sorry, Mr. Chen is no longer here, we only have you, please take care of yourself."
The bodyguards of the Xuanwu Group have suffered a lot in the past few days. First, the boss died inexplicably in the swimming pool, and then the convoy was blocked for more than ten minutes on the way. There is no place to vent this bad breath, the prince said
After the order, I immediately cheered up and went to find trouble.
Several people walked near Hall 2, humming "Today is a good day", and pushed the wreath down, cursing: "Who put the wreath in such a way?"
The people who came to express condolences immediately strongly criticized their unreasonable and disrespectful behavior of the deceased. Instead of admitting their mistakes, the bodyguards intensified their efforts and pushed the people. The security guards of the funeral home came to break up the fight, but to no avail.
The arrogant behavior of these guys aroused public outrage, and they were quickly overwhelmed by the angry crowd. Even though they were all big and round, they had no power to fight back at this moment. They were beaten to death, their clothes were torn, and their shoes were missing.
It was not until the police heard the news that they came and rescued them, but these people had only taken in air but not out.
The limelight was completely robbed, and even someone was beaten. After hearing the news, Mai Kangmei shivered with anger and left without saying a word. Chen Xuanwu and Mu Lianheng followed closely behind and sat in
After driving the Mercedes-Benz, the driver couldn't start it.
The million-dollar Mercedes-Benz S600 actually failed to start. Chen Xuanwu's face drooped at that moment, and he scolded the driver angrily: "Can you drive?"
The driver was confused. He opened the hood and got out of the car to check. Everything was normal. After checking around the car for a week, he discovered that the exhaust pipe was blocked. After searching for a long time, he finally pulled out two rotten apples.
Started it and finally started firing.
After this incident, Mai Kangmei's mood became even worse, and she directly said to her son: "I'm not going to Jiangbei anymore. Let's go back to our hometown with your father's body."
This was originally a planned arrangement. After the memorial service was held at Jiangbei Funeral Home, the Xuanwu Group rented a hearse and sent Chen Runing's body to his hometown in the south. It would first park it in a temple for a period of time, and then follow the customs of his hometown after the mausoleum was built.
The official burial is the highlight.
Chen Xuanwu immediately arranged for Mu Lianheng to comply. After some formalities, the convoy was on the road again, directly returning to the provincial capital via the expressway. Since it was during the Spring Festival travel rush, there was heavy traffic on the expressway, and it took two hours to cover one-third of the distance. Mai
Kangmei felt unwell, so the motorcade drove into the service area to rest. Suddenly, a car with a provincial license plate arrived. Four people got out of the car, walked to the hearse, showed their IDs from the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Provincial Public Security Department, and asked to inspect the body.
The staff hurriedly went to ask for instructions. They thought the lady would be furious, but they knew that Mai Kangmei just waved his hand and said: "If you want to investigate, let them investigate. You should try your best to cooperate."
…
Hu Rong spent the whole morning investigating the case in the municipal party committee dormitory. She asked the security personnel on duty in detail and checked the situation inside Li Zhi'an's residence. Since it snowed heavily on the day of the crime, many traces disappeared as the snow melted.
It was really difficult to find any clues. Hu Rong searched for a long time but found nothing, so she had to return in frustration.
Returning to the brigade, Hu Rong keenly noticed that there were several cars with provincial license plates at the door. The number section should belong to official vehicles affiliated with the Security Department. When he entered the door, he saw that there were indeed a few unfamiliar faces in the brigade, one of whom was wearing casual clothes.
The woman was sitting at her desk, flipping through the files on Chen Runing's case.
"It's not good to just look through other people's things," Hu Rong said dissatisfied.
The woman stood up, slightly taller than Hu Rong, and smiled and took out her ID: "From the corps, the case of Chen Runing's murder is now under our control. These files have to be taken away, but I don't think it is consistent with the owner.
I'm afraid it's not good to say hello."
Hu Rong glanced at the other party's ID and walked into Team Han's office angrily without saying a word. She was really going to get mad when she suddenly saw an elegant middle-aged man sitting opposite Han Guang, and Captain Xie was also accompanying him.
"Xiao Hu, you're here just in time. Let me introduce you. This is Director Wang of the Provincial Department." Han Guang stood up and introduced.
The middle-aged man nodded to Hu Rong reservedly: "Hello, Officer Hu." He spoke standard Mandarin without any accent from the provincial capital.
Hu Rong nodded slightly and returned the favor, then turned to Han Guang: "Why do you even have to hand over the file to them?"
Han Guang said: "This is an order from above, just carry it out."
Hu Rong stood still.
"Any more questions?" Han Guang glanced at her.
"No more." Hu Rong turned around angrily and left.
All the information about Chen Runing's murder case, including photos and evidence at the scene, were taken away by comrades from the provincial department. They also repeatedly asked whether the Second Brigade had retained any evidence that had not been handed over. Han Guang patted his chest and assured them that absolutely
No.
After these people left, a group of colleagues were aggrieved. Hu Rong even walked into Han Guang's office, closed the door and asked, "Han Da, are these people from the provincial department?"
Han Guang said leisurely: "Xiao Hu, what do you want to say?"
"I know all the people in the Provincial Criminal Investigation Corps. There are no such people at all, and their license plate numbers should be safe ones."
"Okay, Xiao Hu, this matter is beyond our jurisdiction, so don't think about it, okay?"
…
Originally I just wanted to hold a simple funeral for my mother, but unexpectedly, it alarmed all the folks in Jiangbei. One hundred thousand people spontaneously mourned Wei Shumin. At least nearly ten thousand people came to the memorial service. The mayor personally presided over the memorial service.
, it can be described as extremely sad and glorious.
Lu Tianming, who has always been low-key, finally did something extraordinary and ordered an armored vehicle that was undergoing testing to block the funeral convoy of the Xuanwu Group, which also made the young men in the factory feel proud.
Baina, a reporter from Huaijiang Daily, followed and filmed the entire funeral process. The touching scenes made him suddenly enlightened. After the memorial service was over, he immediately returned to the guest house, turned on his computer, wrote quickly with astronomical lines, and sent it to
Newspaper agency.
Half an hour later, Baina's cell phone buzzed. It was the editor-in-chief: "Xiao Bai, did you write that article?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, it doesn't look like your writing style. It's solemn, unpretentious, and touching. The title is also very grand, and the writing is very good, quite good!"
It was the first time she received such high praise from the editor-in-chief. Baina's face turned red with excitement: "Really, can I post it?"
"Of course, and it's on the front page." The editor's voice sounded very excited.
The hard work of the past few days finally paid off. Baina happily jumped on the bed. She couldn't wait to share the good news with her closest people. She took out her phone and sent a message to Zhou Wen.
I soon received a reply saying "I'm right outside your door."
"Liar." Baina replied with two words, but unwillingly got up and took a look through the peephole, and immediately opened the door in surprise: "It's really you!"
"When did I lie to you? The party school is on winter vacation and I just came back." Zhou Wen raised the luggage in his hand.
"You didn't go home first?" Baina was a little touched.
"You won't be able to get out if you go home." Zhou Wen smiled bitterly and said, "What, you're not going to invite me in?"
"Come in quickly." Bai Na looked around, pulled Zhou Wen into the room, hooked the door with her foot, pounced on him fiercely, and bit Zhou Wen's shoulder. Although he was separated by thick clothes, he still
Zhou Wen almost screamed out in pain.
"Be gentle, you are a tiger."
"By the way, I am born in the year of Tiger." Baina reluctantly held Zhou Wen's neck and refused to let go.
Zhou Wen's eyes were a little blurry, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his chest, but he still endured it and said, "I'm in a hurry. I need to use the bathroom. Do you want to go in with me?"
Baina let go angrily, and Zhou Wen walked into the bathroom, washed his face, regained his clarity, and then came back and asked: "I heard that the Hongqi Factory incident was very big, and the boss of Xuanwu Group also had an accident. Are you
Is there any inside information here?"
"What, you care about this?"
"Of course I am concerned. Once Chen Runing dies, the general direction of Xuanwu Group will change, and the Nantai Industrial Park project may be shelved. You have to know that at least tens of thousands of people are counting on this project to make a living, and I am one of them.
