Chapter 5 Chapter Four

At noon, Li Binliang and his party came to the gate of Huo Tao's house, led by the village director. The village director is a middle-aged man in his forties. He looks honest and shrewd. When he saw Li Binliang and knew that he was the deputy director of criminal investigation, he immediately confessed that since the police came yesterday, he had been targeting the Huo family, but , I haven't seen Huo Tao come back.Then carefully inquired about what happened to Huo Tao.Director Wang didn't let him inquire, but only said that he needed to know from Huo Tao, even if he was not at home, he had to find out where he had gone.The village director said that he didn't know, so he might have to ask the Huo family.Director Wang said that if the police questioned them directly, they would not tell the truth because they were afraid they would be pressured.The village head gave him the bag, and said that Huo Tao's father had died long ago, and he lived with his mother, brother and sister-in-law. The whole family was honest and kind, and it was easy to get the truth out of their mouths.

In this way, several people came to Huo Tao's house. The Huo family lived in a thatched house called "Mianqing".The so-called green side means that the front face of the house is made of bricks, and the other three sides are made of earthen walls. However, judging from the old condition of the house, it must have been built for many years.Like all farm houses, the yard is a vegetable garden. At the door, an old lady in her sixties was feeding chickens. When she heard footsteps approaching, she covered her eyes with her hands and looked at the person with all her strength. Obviously, she His eyes are not very good.

Looking at this old lady, Li Binliang's heart skipped a beat: Why is she a bit like his departed mother... He suddenly felt embarrassed, unable to speak, unable to tell this mother, your son is suspected of murder, please tell us where he hid... He hurriedly pulled the village director and whispered in his ear: "Please don't tell him our identities." The head of the village was very quick-witted, and immediately got an idea after agreeing, and shouted loudly as he walked forward: "Old aunt, you are feeding the chickens, are you alone at home?" Huo Tao's mother saw... no, she heard the voice of the village chief: "Ah, the village chief... why are there so many people, what's the matter..."

Village director: "Good thing, old aunt, good thing. These are the leaders of the village. The village wants to build a factory and recruit people. I heard that Huo Tao graduated from high school. He is educated and interested. If it is true, he can be made a white-collar worker!" Old lady: "White collar... what white collar?" Village director: "Ah... white-collar workers don't do menial work, that is, they are cadres. You see, where did Huo Tao go to work, hurry up and let him come back!" Ren Tiezhu quickly took over the conversation: "Yes, the treatment in the factory is very good, the salary is one thousand a month, work clothes are also provided, and lunch is provided..."

Ren Tiezhu wanted to continue, but Miao Yu stopped him. Hearing what the village head and Ren Tiezhu said, Li Binliang felt very complicated. On the one hand, he felt that this was a good way to understand the situation without being irritated or alarmed, but on the other hand, he also felt ashamed, because they, including himself, cheat this mother. The old lady: "Really, this is great... Leaders, I have to thank you all, you don't know, Huo Tao didn't get into college, so he got angry, and his brother and sister-in-law and I also got angry , now it's all good, come in the house..."

Li Binliang walked into the house and suddenly fell into a strange feeling. He seemed to have returned to the past, his own home, and his mother's home in a trance. Yes, everything is so similar, the same old and simple but clean house, the same pair of old wooden cabinets that have been used for unknown how many years, the same 12-inch black and white TV, and the same old-fashioned kang Qin...unexpectedly, many years after her mother passed away, she actually saw such a family so similar to her own... A man's heavy voice came from outside: "Mom, who's here..." The old lady: "Ah, it's the village chief and the township cadres, come in quickly, there's something good to happen!"

A well-built man walked in. He was thirty-seven or eighteen years old, with a brown-red complexion, and he looked very simple and honest. He looked at everyone with a disturbed look... Li Binliang's heart skipped a beat again: Why is he so like the second brother... No, his face is not very similar to that of the second brother, mainly in temperament and eyes. When the second brother sees strangers, he also has such a look, a restless and worried look. Man: "Mom, what are you talking about? What good things can happen to our family!" Li Bin's conscience moved again, and he suddenly understood why the farmer and the second brother in front of him had the same look in their eyes. This kind of look is the expression of their hearts. They don't believe that any good things will happen to them in the world. On the contrary, life always reminds them to beware of any disasters, so they always treat strangers and strange things with such guarded and uneasy eyes.This is the peculiar look of a person who cannot grasp his own destiny.

Huo Tao's mother: "Boss, why are you talking like that? They came to Tao, saying that the village wanted to build a factory and recruit workers. I heard that Taozi is educated, so he should be given priority. Let's come and see him... Ah, leaders, he is Tao's elder brother is called Huo Gang...Boss, hurry up and try to find Taozi back!" Huo Gang: "Where can I find him? He only said that he is working in the city. The city is so big and there are so many places to work. Where can I find him?" This is in line with what we have learned.It took a lot of effort for the public security organs to find the construction site where Huo Tao worked, and it was indeed even more difficult for them personally.

Li Binliang: "Auntie, this big brother, I heard that Huo Tao graduated from high school, is that right?" When Huo Tao's brother heard this, his face turned red suddenly, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so the old lady hurriedly took the words. Old lady: "Ah, yes, yes...Isn't it? After graduating from high school and not being admitted to university, and unwilling to stay at home, the family has little land, and it's not enough for the two of them to do, so I went to work in the market!" Huo Tao's elder brother regained his composure: "Mom, don't talk about it." To Li Binliang: "It's not that Huo Tao didn't pass the exam, it's that he couldn't read it." His voice lowered: "It's all my fault, I don't have the ability, I can't afford him!"

Li Binliang: "This...you mean..." "Ah, that's what happened," Huo Tao's mother snatched the words again: "Huo Tao's father passed away early, and after he entered high school, he relied entirely on his brother to provide for him...Boss, don't feel bad, mom doesn't blame you, Tao also knows You tried your best... By the way, leaders, I am not afraid of your jokes. They are all poor. The boss and his wife wait on a few acres of land, plus some odd jobs, and they can't make much money a year. Huo Tao is in high school. It was hard to pay for it. Last year, I had a year of tutoring, which caused a lot of famine. This year, I was admitted to the university with great difficulty. However, once I entered the school, I had to pay more than 10,000 yuan. For four years of university, I still had to pay 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a year. It wasn’t him If my brother doesn't pay for him, I really can't afford it, look at our family, how can there be anything valuable?"

Brother Huo Tao said in a low voice: "As far as I'm concerned, I still want him to read it. I'm going to risk it, and I will confess him even if I bow my head. He should be more promising than me... But he said nothing. ..." The old lady snatched the words away again: "Boss, don't talk about it, he really thinks, can you afford it? How much is it worth if you sell yourself? Your son is now in junior high school, and there are a lot of money every year." Spend money, today's fee, tomorrow's fee, whichever time you pay the fee, the two of you don't talk... People, it's a fate, you have to accept your fate, Huo Tao will have this fate... By the way, no, the village If you want to recruit a job, if you really want to succeed, earn a few years of money, talk about a daughter-in-law, that's all!" Li Binliang's heart was heavy when he heard it.I came here to catch Huo Tao, I didn't expect to see and hear these... Fortunately, Director Wang remained calm. He asked Huo Tao's mother and brother again if there were any other clues about Huo Tao, but neither of them could say anything.At this time, Li Binliang also calmed down: "Auntie, since Huo Tao decided not to go to college, is there anything unusual... Ah, I mean, have you been with other people besides your family?" Huo Tao's mother: "It... no, in the first few days, I was bored at home, and I was afraid that he would get sick, but he will soon go to work in the city... Boss, pay attention to you Is there a younger brother, who has he been in contact with?" Huo Tao's elder brother's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, and then flashed for a moment. Li Binliang hurriedly said, "Why, who did Huo Tao date?" Brother Huo Tao: "That's not true, but he answered the phone once... By the way, Director, didn't the call go to the village? You answered it, and sent someone to Huo Tao to answer the call!" The village director thought about it for a moment: "Yes, yes, there is such a thing. That day, I answered the phone, and it was a male voice who first asked me if I was from Changsheng Village, Xingfu Township. I said yes, and he said he wanted to find Huo Tao. I sent someone to find Huo Tao to answer the phone. But when he answered the phone, I was out on business, and I didn’t hear what he said... Ah, yes, I asked him when I answered the phone, it was Huo Tao’s Who is he and why are you looking for him? He just said that he is Huo Tao's classmate, and I don't know anything else." This…… Ren Tiezhu couldn't help but grab the conversation: "Village Chief, you have to tell the truth, he really didn't say anything else?" The village director said unhappily, "Comrade, what do you mean by that? Can I still lie to you?" Ren Tiezhu moved his mouth, but fell silent. Li Binliang thought for a while, and had no choice but to say to Huo Tao's mother and brother: "Auntie, brother, I have caused you trouble. How about this, once you have news about Huo Tao, just tell us... Ah, just tell the director, He'll tell us. Goodbye!" The old lady: "Yes, yes, thank you all the leaders, come to visit us when you have time!" Li Binliang: "Yes, yes, I will definitely come when I have time... Auntie, let's go!" Li Binliang walked out with guilt. After walking out of Huo's house, the village director asked Li Binliang proudly how he was doing. While thanking Li Binliang, he also said what was in his heart: "You helped us find out the truth, but you shouldn't lie to the old lady. She's probably starting to look forward to the recruitment now, but in the future, once she finds out that it's all empty, how disappointed will she be?" The village director laughed: "This... I can't control that much anymore. Over the years, the common people have been deceived a lot, and they are used to it. It's fine for me to deal with her when the time comes, it's none of your business." Li Binliang: "But, we are uneasy... Okay, I still want to thank you. But think about it again, although you didn't listen to Huo Tao when he called, but did you pay attention to his behavior before and after the call? Unusual place?" Village director: "This... I really remembered what you said. I remember that when he finished calling and went out, I happened to come back, and I felt that his face seemed very bad..." Li Binliang: "What's wrong?" "This... seems very exciting, but also seems a little scared!" Excited... Scared... Li Binliang: "Is there anything else?" Village director: "No more, really, I don't know anything else!" Li Binliang: "Okay, let's see you later. If there is any news about Huo Tao, please let us know... By the way, you have to tell me your village's phone number!" On the way back, Li Binliang called Hu Xuezheng and asked him to find out where the call to Huo Tao came from.Before returning to the bureau, Hu Xuezheng called to report, saying that he had found out that the call was from the city, and it was a street magnetic card phone. Street magnetic card phone... There is no way to check it. Who will be calling?It's really Huo Tao's classmate. If so, why did he use a magnetic card phone on the street? Why did Huo Tao have an excited and frightened expression after answering the phone? Does it have anything to do with his disappearance or Wu Ying's death... Li Binliang couldn't figure it out. It seems that I have to go to a high school. Back in the bureau, Li Binliang approached Hu Xuezheng and proposed to go to the first high school again. Hu Xuezheng showed a embarrassed expression: "This... let's go again and again, and people seem to have opinions. The last time I went, Principal Cheng seemed a little bored. , What did you say to me affected the teaching order of the school, and also damaged the reputation of the school..." Li Binliang: "Why does she say that, aren't we here to solve the case? She has to go if she doesn't welcome, and I will lead the team myself." After hearing Li Binliang's words, Hu Xuezheng didn't say anything.However, before leaving, he reminded Li Binliang whether he should call Principal Cheng first, and Li Binliang agreed after thinking about it.Sure enough, when Cheng Yufang heard that Li Binliang was still going to school, she blurted out: "I said brother, are you still finished?" Li Binliang responded accordingly: "Sister, from your tone, it seems that you don't welcome brother?" Cheng Yufang: "Ah... It's not that you don't welcome it, it's just that your policemen are always coming and going in and out of our school. The influence is not good. The eldest sister herself is fine. The main reason is that the school's reputation is affected!" Li Binliang: "I'm really sorry, big sister, I don't want to go either, but there's nothing I can do about it. Now, the Ministry of Public Security requires that the murder case must be solved, so I can't go, big sister, I have to ask you to support my brother." !" Cheng Yufang's helpless voice: "This... okay, for the sake of my brother, the eldest sister has also risked it all, so you come. However, the eldest sister has a request, it is best not to come too many people, and don't wear police uniforms, okay?" This request is understandable and completely acceptable, Li Binliang said loudly: "Okay, let's go to three people, or I, Miao Yu, and Ren Tiezhu, you all know each other!" Cheng Yufang: "This...well, welcome to come!" "Brother Li, welcome, welcome... tell me, what else are you investigating?" It seemed that Cheng Yufang was still so enthusiastic. Although she didn't greet her at the gate of the campus, she walked out of the teaching building.After Li Binliang apologized, he asked to see Huo Tao's teacher and former classmates, especially those who were close to him.Cheng Yufang showed a perplexed expression: "The teacher can be found, but the classmate... He was a repeat student, almost all his classmates in the third year of high school at the same time have left, and all the classmates in the cram school he repeats have graduated. Where can I find it? " This is a practical question.However, Ren Tiezhu took over the words tactfully: "Aren't there still people who continue to reread? Let's talk to them first!" Miao Yu: "Yes, and then we will investigate other people... By the way, please bring us the original list of Huo Tao's classmates, including the basic information, that is, the residence and family situation of these classmates, what are they doing now, and the rest. We will do the work!" Miao Yu was very thoughtful. Li Binliang: "Principal Cheng, please help me!" Cheng Yufang: "This... Huo Tao studied in two classes in the third year of high school and tutoring. There are hundreds of students. Do you want to investigate one by one?" Li Binliang: "That's right, Principal Cheng, we don't solve cases as brilliantly as we do in TV dramas, and we often have to do stupid things." Cheng Yufang sighed: "Okay, I will arrange for the teaching office to find for you!" Li Binliang and the others began to investigate Huo Tao, who continued to re-study, but there were only two such students, one was Li Qiulian, and the other was a boy named Hao Bosheng. And reread. Li Qiulian couldn't provide anything new. She said that although she had a good relationship with Wu Ying, she had a normal relationship with Huo Tao and didn't know much about his situation.When asked who could know about Huo Tao's situation, she said: "Hao Bosheng, he and Huo Tao usually have a good relationship, so he should know something about it!" Hao Bosheng was found, he was a tall, thin, taciturn young man, when he heard that he was going to ask him about Huo Tao's situation, his face suddenly showed a nervous expression: "What's wrong with Huo Tao, is there something wrong? " Ren Tiezhu: "No, don't inquire about anything else, just tell what you know about Huo Tao!" Hao Bosheng: "This... I don't know what's going on with him?" Ren Tiezhu: "Why don't you know? Don't you have a good relationship with Huo Tao?" Hao Bosheng: "Who said that, the two of us... have more contacts, but it's all about study, so what we know about him is limited to study, I don't know anything else!" Ren Tiezhu patted the table: "I think you are a little dishonest!" Hao Bosheng: "You...what kind of attitude are you, and I haven't committed a crime, why do you treat me like this?" Ren Tiezhu: "No crime, you cover up..." Miao Yu hastily interrupted Ren Tiezhu: "Ah, Hao Baisheng, we didn't say you committed a crime, but we need to find him in an important case. You must have heard that Wu Ying is dead, maybe he was murdered..." Hao Baisheng suddenly grabbed Miao Yu's words: "I understand, you suspect that Huo Tao killed Wu Ying, right? You are wrong, Huo Tao will never kill Wu Ying, never..." Ren Tiezhu was about to lose his temper again, but Li Binliang stopped him with a cough.Li Binliang turned to Hao Bosheng: "We didn't say that he must have killed Wu Ying, but we always have to investigate and rule him out. Now, Huo Tao suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't be found anywhere. Can we not suspect him? Listen Your tone, you still have a good relationship with him, for his sake, if you know where he is, you should also tell us!" Hao Bosheng: "But, I really don't know where he is..." Thinking to himself, "Why did he disappear, where did he go..." Looking at his expression, it seems that he really doesn't know where Huo Tao is going, but the nervousness in his expression makes people feel that he knows something. However, after asking for a while, Hao Baisheng still insisted that he didn't know what to say, so he had to let him go back. Ren Tiezhu: "Director Li, this Hao Baisheng is a bit suspicious, he seems to know something and don't tell us, we should keep an eye on him!" This suggestion makes sense, but how to keep an eye on it? Miao Yu: "Ask Teacher Zhong again!" Li Binliang: "Yes!" Teacher Zhong invited him. This time, Ren Tiezhu sat aside and remained silent, while Li Binliang and Miao Yu asked.However, Teacher Zhong, like Hao Baisheng and Li Qiulian, didn't know about Huo Tao's recent situation, and couldn't think of where he would go.Li Binliang had no choice but to change the subject: "Mr. Zhong, who does Huo Tao have a better relationship with in class?" Teacher Zhong: "This... I really didn't pay much attention to it, I couldn't remember it for a while." Miao Yu: "But, some people say that Hao Baisheng has a good relationship with him, right?" Teacher Zhong: "This... no way, I didn't find out, they are just ordinary classmates." This is consistent with Hao Baisheng's self-report. Li Binliang: "So, what about other students? For example, is there a better relationship with students who have already been admitted to university?" Teacher Zhong: "This... I really haven't noticed it, I can't remember it for a while, let me think about it again, okay?" Li Binliang: "Okay, if you think of something, tell us!" Teacher Zhong: "Yes." This is basically the end of the investigation of people, and the rest is to know the list of Huo Tao's classmates. When Li Binliang got the list and looked at hundreds of names, their places of residence and whereabouts, he suddenly became worried.These students are everywhere, and if they want to investigate all of them, not to mention the time and energy, the bureau's funds may not be able to afford it, so he can only take this list and bid farewell to Cheng Yufang. This time, Cheng Yufang just sent him out of the office. Li Binliang left Yigao with disappointment, but when the car was on the road and was about to turn, a figure flashed out from the front and waved his arms head-on. It's Teacher Zhong. Li Binliang called to stop urgently and opened the car door.Teacher Zhong hurried up: "Director Li, I will provide you with a piece of information!" Great! Teacher Zhong: "I suddenly remembered that when Huo Tao was in his third year of high school, he had a good classmate named Gao Han." Li Binliang: "Where is this Gaohan?" Teacher Zhong: "The provincial capital, Xinke University!" Shinco University... Li Bin's conscience became hot, and he hurriedly asked: "Which major, department, and class is he in?" Teacher Zhong: "He was admitted to university last year, and he should be a sophomore now. I remember, it seems to be a civil engineering major." Be more specific.Li Binliang happily grabbed Teacher Zhong's hand: "Great, Teacher Zhong, can you tell me how Huo Tao and Gao Han are doing?" Teacher Zhong: "I can't tell you the specifics, but the two of them were really good friends in the third year of high school. Before the college entrance examination this year, Gao Han even sent Huo Tao study materials, and I transferred them!" That being said, the relationship between the two is really unusual. Li Binliang stretched out his hand again and held Teacher Zhong tightly: "Okay, Teacher Zhong, thank you for your support to our work!" Teacher Zhong sighed: "I can't talk about support, I just want to find out the cause of Wu Ying's death... However, I have to say one more thing, I still think Huo Tao will not kill Wu Ying." Li Binliang: "Don't worry, we will never wrong the good people, nor will we let the criminals go. We are just looking for clues now." Teacher Zhong: "Okay, I hope you can solve the case as soon as possible!" Li Binliang: "We will work hard! Teacher Zhong, goodbye!" Teacher Zhong: "Goodbye... By the way, if the case is solved, please let me know, is that okay?" Li Binliang: "Definitely!" The wheels were speeding, and Li Binliang's mind was spinning like a wheel.Ren Tiezhu sensitively guessed what Li Binliang was thinking: "Ju Li, we should go to the provincial capital immediately." The words came to his heart.Yes, people should be sent to the provincial capital immediately. If Huo Tao really killed Wu Ying and fled, he doesn't have many places to go. Maybe he will go to Gao Han or contact him.So, who to send?Should be careful and responsible person... The cell phone rang suddenly, and he took a look at it. It was a landline phone, and the area code happened to be the provincial capital. He hurriedly put it to his ear, and a man's voice came from the cell phone: "Director Li? I'm the provincial capital." Department Research Office, my name is Li Ziqiang, remember!" Li Binliang suddenly remembered that Li Ziqiang, a section chief of the research office of the provincial department, had contacted him when he went to the provincial department for a meeting.He hurriedly replied: "Ah, Section Chief Li, why don't you remember, we also know a family, what's the matter?" Li Ziqiang: "Ah, let me tell you something. Your paper on the causes, characteristics and countermeasures of the black and evil forces in our country won the first prize. The leaders of the department appreciated it very much. It has been reported to the Ministry of Public Security and the National Comprehensive Management Committee. The provincial government will hold a seminar on this issue for one day, please participate!" This…… More than three months ago, the provincial government held an essay-calling event, asking the leading cadres of the local public security bureaus to write an essay. Li Binliang wrote an essay based on his personal experience of some black and evil groups he had destroyed. I sent it to the essay organizing committee, and I forgot it after I sent it. I didn't expect to hear back suddenly, and I won the first prize, and I had to participate in the seminar, and it was the day after tomorrow.The case is so tense, how can I have time to attend this kind of meeting... Oh, yes... Li Binliang said loudly to the phone: "Okay, Chief Li, I happen to have a case at hand, and I need to go to the province to look for clues. If I can spare time, I will try to attend this meeting!" Li Ziqiang: "It's not about fighting for it, but it's about participating. Then, you'll have to give a keynote speech!" Li Binliang put down the phone, and Ren Tiezhu behind him leaned towards him: "Director Li, are you going to the provincial capital yourself?" Li Binliang said what happened on the phone: "...I didn't want to go at first, but now I have to go!" Ren Tiezhu: "Here... Director Li, I will go with you... By the way, let Miao Yu go too. She is also a college graduate, so it is an advantage to go to the university for investigation." Ren Tiezhu's words make sense, but if you take her on a business trip, what will others think: Why, you husband and wife handle the case hand in hand... Hey, it's too early to say husband and wife, you haven't registered yet... By the way, I promised her Those who need time to register, I didn’t take care of it yesterday, today...today, can I still find time... The phone rang again, interrupting his thoughts. This time it was a female voice: "It's Director Li of the Public Security Bureau... I'm from the government office. The mayor of Nian is going to hold an emergency meeting. Please attend...ah , it seems to be a matter of demolition, you have to ask Mayor Nian for the specific situation. Goodbye!" The other party put the phone down, and Li Binliang couldn't say anything he wanted to say. Emergency meeting, you have to attend by yourself, it may be about demolition, the Public Security Bureau maintains order, this is the business of the public security department... Li Binliang frowned, and he called the political commissar, hoping to send the deputy director of public security to attend the meeting.The political commissar said that since the mayor of Nian asked him to participate by name, he should participate. At this time, it is not good not to participate. Let Hu Xuezheng and the others investigate the case first.Li Binliang had no choice but to agree, put down his cell phone and call Hu Xuezheng, let him lead the team to continue the investigation and visits, expand clues, call him at any time if there is any situation, and then ask the driver to turn around and drive the car to the city government. The handsome face of the mayor. The mayor of Nian is a handsome man, of medium build, always vigorous on weekdays, in his early forties.Many people said that at the age of thirty-eight, one would be the chief of the public security bureau, which is too young, but compared with the mayor of Nian, it is still nothing.Being a mayor at his age is unique in the entire Baishan area, and it is also rare in the whole province. No wonder he always unconsciously exudes a temperament of looking forward to himself. He has this capital. Regarding the situation of Mayor Nian, Li Binliang had heard a little about it. He was sent by the province, and it is said that he has a good background, so his official career went smoothly.Some say he came down to be gilded.Everyone knows that mayor Nian will not be satisfied with being mayor of Jiangquan. He is likely to be the administrative office, prefectural committee or even enter the province in the future, and his future is limitless.It is precisely because of this that his work style is tough. Although he is not very old, he dares to make decisions, dare to face difficulties, and dares to criticize others. There is Liu Xinfeng, the secretary, but now he has taken over half of Jiang Quan's family, and his opinions on the economic work in the city are basically based on him. Of course, no one is perfect, just because they are young, enthusiastic about work, and energetic, so sometimes the method is a little simpler, a little eager for success, and they are ruthless in criticizing subordinates, which also causes some conflicts.By the way, some people have also commented that he has both black and white, but I don't know what he is referring to.However, Li Binliang listened to other people's discussions in private, and he didn't have much personal experience, because he was only a deputy director, and most of the people who dealt with the mayor were the director and political commissar.However, there is one thing that makes him gratified, that is, Mayor Nian, like Secretary Liu, firmly recommended himself to the prefectural committee as the future director of the Public Security Bureau, and the same opinion of the Secretary and Mayor is very important for him to get his wish Therefore, Li Binliang is also grateful to Mayor Nian deep in his heart.I also often think that if I really become the director general in the future, whether I want to repay his trust or perform my duties, I should give him great support in his work... Thinking like this, Li Binliang hurried into the city building, walked into the secretary's room, and asked where the meeting was held. A female secretary said that it was in the meeting room on the third floor, and said that he came really fast, and the meeting would take a while, so he asked Walking to Mayor Xiang Nian's office, when he walked into the corridor of the mayor and deputy mayors, he saw a strange man coming out of Deputy Mayor Jiang's office. He knocked on the door and went in. In this way, when he reached the door, he didn't know whether to go in or wait outside. The door of Mayor Nian's office was ajar, and there was a faint voice coming from inside. Mayor Nian must have been talking to the man just now. Now, the voice of an unfamiliar male came out. Although it was not loud, Li Binliang still heard it: "... Don't worry, my brother won't embarrass you, the mayor. As long as you can ensure that I can start work smoothly, I promise to finish it ahead of schedule!" Mayor Nian's voice: "Don't worry about that, I'll hold a meeting right away to arrange this matter, and the chief of the Public Security Bureau will also attend, and he will escort you, what are you worried about..." Speaking of myself.Li Binliang felt that he had a reason to enter, so he walked to the door and knocked on the door gently. The voice of the mayor of Nian came out: "Come in!" Li Binliang pushed open the door and walked in, just in time to see Mayor Nian's energetic face, this face immediately burst into a smile when he saw Li Binliang: "Ah, I really mean Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here, just right, you guys get to know this one It's Mr. Jiang, from the provincial capital, the chairman and general manager of Xufeng Group, Mr. Jiang, this is the director of our Jiangquan City Public Security Bureau, Li Binliang, a famous detective!" A strange man came up.He is about forty years old, thin, wearing loose casual clothes, looks very casual, very ordinary person, but for some reason, Li Binliang feels a special aura coming from this person, what is it? I can't tell what kind of breath it is, I just feel familiar... Before he could think clearly, the other party had already come up and held his hand tightly: "I have admired you for a long time, I am Jiang Feng... Director Li, I have heard of your name a long time ago, I never thought that I am so young, and I know many public security bureaus." Chief, he is the first one who is as young as Director Li!" Li Binliang was very uncomfortable being told, and hurriedly declared: "No, Mr. Jiang, I am the deputy director of criminal investigation, not the director!" Mayor Nian was beside him: "Binliang, don't be humble... Mr. Jiang, Director Li is now the acting director. He is in charge of the work of the Jiangquan City Public Security Bureau. He will officially take up his post soon, and he will wait for the prefectural committee to study it!" Jiang Feng: "Really, then I will congratulate you in advance...Director Li, here is my business card!" Li Binliang took over Jiang Feng's name tag, and saw that there were many titles on it, not to mention entrepreneurs, general managers, and chairman of the board, as well as representatives of the city's people's congress and members of the CPPCC. It's the provincial capital. It seems that Mr. Jiang is really a character! Jiang Feng continued: "Director Li, from now on, please take care of me. When you take office, you have to buy us a drink... No, no, please, I will serve you a drink to praise the official..." After all, he is a businessman, and his words are a bit vulgar, Li Binliang doesn't like to listen to them, but he has good intentions, so he can't take it lightly, so he can only say: "It's too early to talk about it now, and it's not certain what will happen in the end! " Jiang Feng hurriedly said, "No, no, definitely, you are the director of Jiangquan's Public Security Bureau. If you have any questions and need help, just say, I will help if I can..." The words are a bit big, you may have some money, you may have some political power, but you are not from Baishan after all, I don't believe you can still manipulate the political situation in Baishan... Of course, these words can only be kept in my heart, and I still express my gratitude.In order to get rid of this topic, Li Binliang turned to Mayor Nian and asked about the meeting. Mayor Nian: "Ah, let's have a preparatory meeting, isn't it? The Xingquan project has already started, but some nail households just don't move. If you come out to make trouble, you have to maintain order, and if there is trouble, you must not be soft..." After Li Binliang heard the notice from the female secretary, he had already guessed that this was the case, and now that it was confirmed, he felt worried. The Xingquan project is the project of Xingsheng Jiangquan.After the mayor took office in 2010, he always believed that the city's appearance and appearance were too poor, which affected the image and grade of the entire city, and even affected foreign investment. Therefore, we must make great efforts to change this appearance. The old houses facing the street were demolished, investment was attracted, and new modern buildings were built.In this regard, Liu Xinfeng, secretary of the municipal party committee, thought it was too hasty and had reservations. However, Mayor Nian persisted in his opinion, obtained the support of his superiors, and used his relationship to ask for some funds from the province. Therefore, Liu Xinfeng compromised.However, there was a problem just after demolition of the old houses. The residents living in those houses felt that the compensation was insufficient, so they refused to leave. They resisted and dragged on for a long time. Adjourned opinion.However, now that Liu Xinfeng is out to study, the mayor of Nian presided over the work of the city, so it started again.No, it's time to use force. Li Binliang glanced at Jiang Feng next to him, and said cautiously: "Mayor Nian, the Ministry of Public Security has clear requirements for grassroots public security organs in this matter, and they must not rashly intervene in mass incidents, let alone use force lightly." An unhappy expression immediately appeared on Mayor Nian's face: "Don't forget, you are Jiangquan City Public Security Bureau!" Li Binliang wanted to say: The problem is that the compensation for those demolished households is indeed too low. If the compensation is done according to the regulations, this kind of thing will not happen, and there is no need for the police to dispatch it.However, he could only keep these words in his heart, and what he said was: "This...mayor, we are very busy now, a murder case just happened, and we are doing our best to solve it!" Mayor Nian: "What happened to the case, don't forget, maintaining political stability is the top priority of your public security organs... What, you said it was a murder case, what kind of murder case? Why didn't you report it?" Li Binliang felt very passive, and then he remembered that no matter whether it was Director Cai back then or Director Shi later, every time a major case occurred, they would report to the main leaders of the municipal party committee, the municipal government and the district public security bureau in time, and he was The name is not right, and the second is that he only focused on solving the case and has not reported it to the city leaders until now. It is indeed a mistake.He had no choice but to say: "Mayor Nian, I was just about to report to you..." 李斌良开了个头就停下来，因为江峰还在一旁，可是，年市长却没有兴趣听他的汇报，有点不耐烦地摆摆手：“具体案情就不要跟我说了，你们全力侦破就行了……”忽然想起什么：“对了，我听到一些家长反映，说你们老是去一高，弄得人心惶惶的，学生不能专心学习，老师不能安心教学，有这事吗？” This…… 听话音，年市长已经知道了案情，可是，这话是哪个家长说的？怎么能这么说呢？弄得人心惶惶的不是公安局，是罪犯，如果不发生案子，公安局能去调查吗？再说了，公安局调查怎么就弄得人心惶惶了？也不能为了不人心惶惶而不调查不破案哪！ 可是，李斌良只能把这些话藏在心里。 年市长继续说：“既然说到这儿了，我就说一句吧，今后，没有特别需要，不要老去学校里调查……啊，时间到了，咱们去会场吧……对了，你们已经认识了，江总，今后有什么事需要公安局出面，你就直接找李局长……斌良，听见了吧，你们一定要全力支持江总的工作！” 李斌良：“知道了！” 江峰又和李斌良紧紧握手：“那我先谢谢了！” 年市长：“不用客气，这是他们的本职工作……斌良，咱们去会场吧！” 李斌良：“江总，再见！” 江峰：“再见，李局长！” 三人向外走去。 走出年市长办公室后，江峰和李斌良告别，又对年市长说：“年市长，我找蒋副市长有点事！” 年市长：“啊，去吧！” 江峰又走进蒋副市长办公室。 李斌良心里闪过一个念头：他是个建筑商，找文教副市长干什么…… 会议开得很快，年市长一如既往的雷厉风行，会议一开始后，他就开门见山地进行了部署：明天，拆迁工作正式开始，建委组织人员强拆，广播局、文化局和法院负责宣传法律，政府办、信访办负责做钉子户的思想工作，进行分化瓦解，公安局要抽调三十名警力到场维持秩序，谁要是敢于跳出来闹事，立刻抓起来，严惩不贷。说完又问大家都有什么说的，见大家谁也不出声，一拍桌子：“那就到这儿，散会！” 李斌良看了看表，会议只开了十分钟。 顺着走廊向外走的时候，年市长又来到李斌良身边：“斌良，你现在全权负责公安局的业务工作，可得学会弹钢琴，破案和保卫兴泉工程顺利进行的工作要两手抓，两手都要硬……对了，案子要尽快侦破，有什么进展随时告诉我，明天，你要亲自带队到拆迁工地，现场指挥！” 李斌良有点糊涂，不知道年市长到底要自己抓什么。 尽管年市长的态度很明确，可是，李斌良回到局里，把会议情况和案件侦破进展情况向政委汇报后，还是提出，由自己去省城查命案的线索，让治安副局长带队配合拆迁。政委有点为难，说既然是年市长点了你的名，你不去不好。可李斌良坚持自己的意见，政委也就同意了。 离开政委办公室的时候，李斌良手机响起来，他拿出来看了一眼，是苗雨的号码，急忙放到耳边。 苗雨：“还没吃饭吧！” 李斌良：“吃饭……” 苗雨：“我就知道，你会把吃饭都忘掉的，都什么时候了，到我这儿来吧！” 这时，李斌良才发现，办公楼里的光线很暗了，各个办公室的门都紧紧地关闭着，非常安静。原来，早已过了下班时间。 李斌良轻轻敲了敲门，门很快地打开了，苗雨责怪的眼神在迎着他：“快进来吧！” 李斌良随着苗雨走进屋子，一股温馨、亲切的感觉立刻充塞了他的身心。 他感受到一种家的气息。 这是苗雨租的一套单元楼，只有一室一厨，李斌良走进的房间既是卧室，又是客厅，也是饭厅。虽然房间不大，看上去也没有什么特殊的，可是，李斌良每次走进来，总是地感到一种温馨亲切气息扑面而来。 肯定和苗雨住在这里有关，记得一本书刊上写过，人和所处的环境都是有磁场的，而且，还是相互作用的，或许，这个房间就因为住了苗雨，所以磁场就不同了。是啊，如果这个房间里住的是一个男人，或者就是自己，肯定没有这种感觉。 房间的中央，一张小圆桌和碗筷已经摆好，最吸引人的是苗雨亲手做的两个菜，一热一凉，荤素搭配，色泽鲜艳，散发着诱人的香味，这时，李斌良才感到饿了，非常饿。 洗过手，李斌良和苗雨对面坐到桌子旁，开始吃饭。李斌良这时再次感受到什么是幸福。 是的，这就是幸福，他的幸福。自苗雨来到身边后，他就有了幸福感，也可以时常享受这种幸福。下班后，苗雨经常把他找到自己的住处，共进晚餐。过去几年的孤独、无味的生活即将、不，已经结束了。 且慢，你们还没有结婚，甚至还没有登记，你们还不是法律意义上的夫妻……看来，这个事真得抓紧办了。李斌良抱歉地看着苗雨：“这……我本想抽时间把记登了，可是，明天我还得去省城！” 苗雨通情达理：“也不差这一天两天，还是等案子破了的吧！” 李斌良：“谢谢。等案子一破，咱们马上登记，然后就结婚！” 李斌良说完这话，不知为什么，眼睛下意识地看了一眼苗雨那叠得整整齐齐的床，脸上忽然发起烧来。 他向往那张床。 他想起了那个梦。这些日子，他时不时地做那种梦，和一个女人在一起，有一次甚至遗精了。梦中的女人有时是苗雨，有时是宁静，有时又是一个看不清的女人，但无论是谁，都和自己特别亲近…… What's going on here? 离婚四年多了，他再没和任何女人同床共枕过，他甚至已经忘记了女人的滋味，甚至，性也渐渐地冷淡了。可是，他知道，这种冷淡其实是一种压抑，是没有遇到自己心爱的女人，现在，这种冷淡果然消失了，一去不返了，性的欲望又复苏了。 可是，尽管苗雨对他的感情是真诚的，来到江泉后，却和他约法三章，那就是，他们不正式结婚，决不同房。他认真地遵守着，尽管有过拥抱，亲吻，那次在感情激荡时差点越过那条线，可是，禁区还是没有被打破，是苗雨及时清醒过来，断然拒绝了他。 现在，那种欲望又来了。李斌良放下碗筷后，看着苗雨风一般在房间和厨房间来回奔走，收拾餐具和屋子，看着她曲线分明的苗条身躯在眼前晃来晃去，看着她胸前隆起的乳峰，他感到生理上又有了反应，一时之间，甚至把案子都从脑海中排除了。 他又看了一眼她的床，看了一遍这小小的温馨的房间，忽然不想离开了。 就在这时，手机响了起来。 他拿出来，也没看号码，随意地放到耳边：“喂……” 手机静了片刻，然后是一个女孩儿的声音：“爸爸！” 好像服了一剂清醒剂，李斌良立刻镇静下来。 是女儿。 李斌良小声地：“苗苗，有事吗？” 又沉默片刻：“爸爸，你是要结婚了吗？” 一种父亲对女儿的深沉歉疚从心底生出，李斌良一时不知如何回答才好。 李斌良知道，女儿的心里一直存有幻想，希望自己能和王淑芬破镜重圆，希望能恢复从前那三口之家，尽管她从没说过，可是，李斌良知道她的内心深处一直残存着这种幻想。可是，现在，她的希望彻底破灭了。 李斌良：“苗苗，对不起……爸爸不想让你失望，可是，你应该知道，爸爸和你妈妈不可能……苗苗，你在听着吗，你在哪儿？有什么事吗？” 苗苗：“爸爸，我……妈，你别……” 电话里忽然响起王淑芬的声音：“当然有事。你这么好心的人，不会光想着自己的幸福，把你女儿忘了吧！” 李斌良：“我……你到底要干什么呀？” 王淑芬：“不是我，是你的女儿有事求你！” 女儿……有事求我…… 李斌良：“什么事啊……” 王淑芬：“你还问，自己不会想一想吗？你到底关心不关心你的女儿，你还是不是她的爸爸？” 李斌良：“你……到底什么事，你说呀！” 王淑芬：“你闺女要进二小。” 二小…… 李斌良一下明白过来。这件事，王淑芬从前跟他说过，他没有管。在市区的八所小学里，第二小学的教学质量最好，虽然教育局没有明说，实际上却把它当作重点小学来培植，无论是校领导还是老师，都是优中选优的。正因为这样，这所小学并不是哪个孩子都能进入的，除了有学区的要求，别的学区孩子要进入，都得有一定背景了，或者家长有钱，给学校捐款，或者有权，有关系。可是，望子成龙，好多家长都托门子找关系地想方设法把孩子送进去。对此，李斌良是有看法的，这不是从小就把孩子们分等划类了吗？不是人为的制造不平等，或者说制造岐视吗？加之他也不善于托关系走后门，也觉得这样对孩子也不一定有好处，就跟苗苗说，学习成绩好不好，主要在自己是否努力，不完全在学校，同时也说了自己的难处。苗苗倒也理解他，并没有强求。这件事已经过去一年了，想不到，王淑芬又提出来了，而且是在这个时候提出来。 李斌良为难地：“你知道，这种事不好办，我既没这方面的关系，也不会办这种事……” “我不听这些，你也别跟我叫苦，”王淑芬打断李斌良的话：“你可能没这方面关系，可你是公安局副局长，对了，你不是马上就当局长了吗？凭你一个公安局长，连孩子选个好学校都做不到吗？这事根本就不用你出头，跟你手下……对，跟二小学区的派出所长说一声就行……我看，不是你办不到，是你不想办，你就是不关心女儿！” 王淑芬的话连珠炮通过线路从话筒中打过来，打进李斌良的耳朵，打入他的心里，他听着心里窝火，想发怒又觉得愧疚而发不出来。这时，苗雨走进来，坐到旁边倾听着，他不想在电话中和王淑芬过多纠缠，只好说：“行了，我知道了，我现在忙，等过几天再说吧！” 王淑芬：“李斌良，你不要往后推，告诉你，现在刚开学，苗苗转过去就能安心学习了……” 李斌良：“我知道，知道……还有别的吗，不然我撂了！” “你等一会儿！”王淑芬大声地：“新学期开始了，苗苗还要做新校服，一百多呢……” This…… 离婚的时候，女儿判给了王淑芬，由她来辅养，但是，李斌良每月要支付辅养费，可事实上不仅如此，每当孩子有什么支出时，都冲他要，他要不给，就说他不关心女儿。李斌良为了避免和她争吵，也为了避免女儿受到伤害，多数情况下都付给她。这样一来，王淑芬却变本加厉，认为这是他理所当然应该承担的，这不，又来了。可是，自己就要结婚了，正是需要钱的时候…… 可是，又能怎么样呢，总不能在电话里和她争吵吧。李斌良为了尽快结束这不愉快的通话，只好说：“行了行了，我笔钱我花，行了吧！” "But, you..." 不等王淑芬再说什么，李斌良就放下手机。 良好的心绪荡然无存了。 李斌良看了一眼苗雨，发现她正在静静地看着自己，显然，她已经明白了电话里的内容。 李斌良想向她解释一下，可是，她却先开口了：“孩子的事，确实应该重视。她好像是让你给苗苗转入重点校是吧！” 李斌良：“可是，我最憎恨社会不公，憎恨特权，我也真不想让苗苗上什么重点学校，我希望她跟所有的孩子一样，享受一样的阳光，呼吸同样的空气，可是……” 苗雨：“可是，这只是你的理想。人是环境的产物，只有适应这样的环境才能生存，你真能为了自己的原则和理想而以女儿的命运为代价吗？” 李斌良沉默了，苗雨说中了他。他的心在告诉他，他不能、不敢这样做。 李斌良站起来：“我得走了，明天还要起早！” 当他向门口走去的时候，又下意识地扭头看了看苗雨的床。
