Li Zhi stood next to the body of Liu Yiyi, the general manager of the Steel Town Engineering Department, with an angry look on his face.
The key figure in the case, Liu Yiyi, committed suicide inexplicably, making it impossible to continue investigating the case.
There are three possibilities for Liu Yiyi's suicide. The first possibility is that he committed suicide out of fear of being punished. He was afraid that Li Zhi would kill his family, so he committed suicide to apologize. The second possibility is that Li Zhenpin or Li Yousheng sent someone to kill Liu Yiyi to prevent Liu Yiyi from committing suicide.
The third possibility is that someone deliberately killed Liu Yiyi, framed Li Zhenpin, sow discord between Li Zhi and Li Yousheng, and alienated the Li family.
No matter what the possibility is, he is using his life to challenge Li Zhi's rule of law, which makes Li Zhi feel angry.
Li Zhi looked at Han Jinxin and asked, "Han Jinxin, can you find out how Liu Yiyi died?"
Han Jinxin shook his head and said: "My lord, this is really impossible to find out. The servants of the Liu family said that Liu Yiyi sent his servants to meet two mysterious guests that day, and then waited for the servants to come into the house half an hour later. Liu Yiyi had already hung up.
Died on the beam."
Li Zhi asked: "Who are those two mysterious guests?"
Han Jinxin shook his head and said: "The subordinates are incompetent and cannot be found out."
Li Zhi took a breath, knowing that he was forcing himself into something difficult. In this era, there were no cameras, and it was impossible to know all the whereabouts of everyone. As long as a thoughtful person disguised himself slightly, he could hide it from the people around him, and no one would know when he went in and out of the busy city.
The case of the factory collapse has now become an unsolved case with no evidence.
Li Zhi took a few steps back and forth to sort out his thoughts.
If someone deliberately framed Li Zhenpin and alienated the relationship between Li Yousheng and Li Zhi, then it would really take a lot of energy to carry out such a series of actions. Li Zhi has paid close attention to the security of his territory in recent years, and ordinary people don't have the energy to do it
There was such a series of reactions.
Unless the southern gentry had been preparing for many years and accumulated all kinds of strength, they could stage such a farce to drive a wedge between Li Zhi and the Li family. But Li Zhi felt that the probability of this situation was relatively small. Li Zhi did not believe that the southern gentry could infiltrate this situation in Tianjin.
kind of level.
What Li Zhi believed more was that this was done by Li Yousheng. Li Yousheng was experienced and influential. Li Yousheng had the motive and strength to do things like transporting away the Huang family and killing Liu Yiyi.
However, now that there is no evidence, Li Zhi has no reason to arrest Li Zhenpin and Li Yousheng and torture them. And ordinary questioning is obviously unable to solve this case.
Li Zhi stood in the room, took a long breath, and said: "We must investigate, this case must be investigated to the end. Who caused the collapse of the factory building, and who killed Liu Yiyi must be investigated to the bottom of the matter."
"
Han Jinxin felt helpless after listening to Li Zhi's words. It is extremely difficult to find out the clues in such a case. Han Jinxin does not have the right to torture suspects to extract confessions. Not to mention that this case is very sensitive and may touch the nerves of the Tianjin Li family at any time.
It is even more difficult to start.
However, Han Jinxin did not dare to neglect and said loudly: "My subordinates will do their best to conduct reconnaissance."
Li Zhi looked at Han Jinxin, feeling that Han Jinxin was a little helpless, and turned to look at Cui Changwu.
Cui Changwu is the head of the disciplinary inspection team, and has the power to interrogate suspects compared to the secret guards. Li Zhi said loudly: "If the name is not correct, the words will not be justified. This internal case should be investigated by the disciplinary inspection team. Cui Changwu, we formed a special case
Team, with you Cui Changwu as the team leader and Han Jinxin as the deputy team leader, we will investigate this case to the end."
When Cui Changwu heard Li Zhi's words, his face turned pale and he didn't answer for a while.
Li Zhi looked at Cui Changwu's face and said, "Are you worried?"
Cui Changwu raised his hands and asked: "Can the Duke ignore the collective opposition of the Li family and stop seeking support from the Li family?"
After hearing what Cui Changwu said, Li Zhi felt a little short of breath and couldn't answer for a while.
Undoubtedly, it is impossible for Li Zhi to abandon the Li family.
Any power is not a castle in the air. It is based on the obedience of the executor. The obedience of the executor depends largely on the power of the superior. For Li Zhi, the power he possesses largely comes from Li Zhi.
His family and Zheng’s family support him.
Li Zhi's relatives are not only Li Zhi's elders, but also Li Zhi's blood relatives. It is precisely because these relatives echo Li Zhi in various positions and form an upper-level interest group headed by Li Zhi that Li Zhi can be one town and four provinces.
Yan Jiuding boldly opposed the entrenched gentry.
Without the support of these blood relatives, Li Zhi would not be able to form such a united group. Without the cohesion of the Li family and the Zheng family, Li Zhi would have to play with the emperor's mind and try to balance everything. In that way, not to mention the entire
The loyalty of the forces to Li Zhi will be greatly reduced. Just the internal friction caused by these checks and balances can greatly reduce Li Zhi's strength.
Looking at the emperor Zhu Youjian, you will know how weak the superiors without the support of blood relatives are. Zhu Youjian is the emperor, and he cannot confront the gentry group head-on. Normally, it is okay to kill individual guilty ministers, but if he challenges the collective of gentry
Interests often lose in the end.
Let me ask, if the royal Zhu family had dozens of clan generals with heavy military forces and dozens of clan civil servants in charge of confidential departments in the court, and all of them were loyal to the emperor, would Zhu Youjian still be afraid of the Donglin Party?
?
I'm afraid the situation can be controlled at the drop of a hat.
Li Zhi has such blood relatives. The Li family has supported Li Zhi's power over the years. Cui Changwu does not believe that Li Zhi will abandon the Li family who are loyal to Li Zhi for a factory collapse incident and Liu Yiyi. After all, compared with
Dozens of lives, the loyal Li family is of greater value to Li Zhi.
And the current problem is that there is no evidence. Torturing Li Zhenpin, the "elder" of the Li family, without evidence will obviously greatly offend the Li family. If the Li family fights back collectively, I am afraid that even Li Zhi will not be able to protect Cui Changwu.
Cui Changwu would not dare to take such a case.
Cui Changwu took a breath and said: "Cui Changwu's life is not worth cherishing, but Cui Changwu is the uncle of the crown prince. Cui Changwu is afraid that the crown prince will grow up and have no one to use him."
Li Zhi frowned when he heard Cui Changwu's words.
Cui Changwu looked at Li Zhi's face, sighed, raised his hands and said: "Master Mingjian, Cui Changwu is an incompetent boy, how dare he attack the Li family? The last time Cui Changwu punished the second general Li Xing, he already made the second general bear a grudge. If he uses it again
If the eagle dog goes against the Li family, I'm afraid he will die without a burial place."
"Cui Changwu resigned from the post of chief of the disciplinary inspection team and is willing to work as a small businessman in the government's territory."
Li Zhi looked at Cui Changwu who was so frightened that he was about to resign. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
After thinking for a while, Li Zhi couldn't help but sigh.
