Chapter 11 chapter Ten

Li Binliang's worries were not superfluous. Soon after dawn, Shen Bing called: "Ju Li, Niu Qiang has escaped!" Premonition test. Li Binliang: "What's going on?" Shen Bing: "That's it. After we arrived at the provincial capital, we immediately got in touch with the police station in Xinda District, and we rushed to Xinke University with them, and found the school's security department. We went to Niu Qiang's dormitory together. However, Niu Qiang Not in the dormitory, we thought he was studying in the classroom, but there was no sign of him in the classroom. Some students reported to us that before dawn, he received a mobile phone, panicked and left the dormitory The college students in his dormitory also said that he sleeps in late every morning, and he doesn’t even want to go out for morning exercises, so it’s abnormal to get up early this day... Director Li, I think he seems to know that we are looking for him, and someone ran away The wind..."

Li Binliang has already thought of this, and he is not surprised. Several years of criminal police career has made him used to this situation. The serious impurity of the team makes it almost impossible for the public security agency to keep secrets. No matter what you do, no matter what you do No matter what measures are taken, the news will always be leaked in advance. Therefore, in recent years, when the public security organs take some major actions to crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil, they often abandon the local police and mobilize police forces from other places. So, what happened to this running wind?The time from Er Mingzi's revelation of Niu Qiang to the time when he took action was very short, and few people knew about it. Except for himself, Hu Xuezheng, Shen Bing, and a few criminal policemen who participated in the interrogation and arrest, there was no one else.

No difference, those who run the wind are among these people. But, who is this person... Now, is not the time to dwell on this matter, you need to concentrate on dealing with the situation at hand.After thinking for a while, Li Binliang gave an order to Shen Bing: "You start work on the spot. First, seek the support of the public security organs in the provincial capital to find out Niu Qiang's whereabouts. Second, if Niu Qiang escapes, take all feasible measures. I found his trace... By the way, he has a car, do you remember, is his car still... not there, this is an important clue, understand?"

Shen Bing made it clear: "Ju Li, I understand, we will start to act immediately!" Putting down Shen Bing's phone, Li Binliang calmed down a bit, and called Hu Xuezheng again. Hu Xuezheng came to his office soon, after hearing the situation, lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and said to himself: " The provincial capital is so big, if Niu Qiang finds a place to hide, it's really hard to find out. We can't mobilize all the public security organs in the provincial capital just to find someone... We have to find out Niu Qiang's relationship in the provincial capital People... this is too slow... By the way, there is a way to find him in the shortest time, it's just..."

In the past few years, Li Binliang, Hu Xuezheng, and Shen Bing have been fighting together, and they have understood each other to the point of tacit understanding. Although Hu Xuezheng didn't say what he said, Li Binliang has completely understood what he meant.He shook his head: "It's just, what should we say when we find him, and ask him directly? What if he doesn't cooperate with us, what if he becomes angry, after all, he is the city leader..." They were talking about Deputy Mayor Jiang, and Niu Qiang was his nephew. If Niu Qiang really took any action, it was impossible not to contact him.

But can you talk to him? Li Binliang felt embarrassed. The phone rang again, Li Binliang took a look, it was Mayor Nian's phone number.At this time, what is he doing? Mayor Nian: "Binliang, gather 20 people immediately and go to the city hall to stand by!" Li Binliang: "This... mayor of the year..." Mayor Nian: "It's the same thing as last time. Today, an old district is going to be demolished. Some people are colluding to make trouble. You should wear more handcuffs... By the way, this time you have to lead the team yourself. Last time, you sent others away." Come, I haven't settled with you yet!"

At this... At this time, how can I put down such an important case and do this kind of work?Why do I have to come forward for this kind of thing?Is a deputy chief of public security all right... However, Li Binliang knew that there was no way to say this to Mayor Nian, and it was useless to say it, all he got was reprimand and dissatisfaction. Hu Xuezheng: "Director Li, go ahead, I'm on the side of the case. Besides, you can take this opportunity to report the situation to Mayor Nian and win his support!" Li Binliang's heart brightened: Yes! Li Binliang called the command center and asked them to immediately notify several town police stations, security brigades, and patrol brigades. Three people from each unit would gather at the city hall, led by the head of the security brigade. Then, he went to the city hall first. .When he walked out of the Public Security Bureau building, he realized that the sun was already high.

Unexpectedly, when Li Binliang was walking along the corridor of the city government building to the venue, he ran into Vice Mayor Jiang head-on. His heart skipped a beat and he didn't know what to say for a while. Deputy Mayor Jiang looked at him and was speechless for a moment.Li Binliang noticed that his bulging eyes were bloodshot, his lips were dry and blistered, and when he saw himself, he obviously showed an embarrassing expression... It seemed that he did already know about Niu Qiang, even everything. It seems that not only has the wind leaked, but also spread very fast. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Li Binliang was the first to react: "Mayor Jiang, I'm at work, Mayor Nian called me..."

Deputy Mayor Jiang also reacted: "Ah, he's in the auditorium, the meeting will start soon, I'll go to the office to get a copy!" Deputy Mayor Jiang nodded as he spoke, and quickly left Li Binliang and walked forward. Li Binliang also walked towards the small auditorium. At this time, he realized more clearly that Deputy Mayor Jiang already knew everything. what to do…… The meeting started. Mayor Nian maintained his usual style and straight to the point stated the purpose of the meeting. He was still preparing for the smooth progress of the relocation. After assigning the tasks of each unit and addressing various possible situations, he announced a targeted plan. After taking the measures, he said loudly: "Everyone here is a middle-level cadre in Jiangquan and the chief officer of each department. Your words, deeds, and actions may have unexpected consequences. Therefore, everyone must strengthen their awareness of the overall situation. , everything you do must proceed from the overall situation of Jiangquan. If anyone does not listen to the call and does whatever he wants to destroy Jiangquan's overall situation, I will be the first to refuse. Now, this should be established as a discipline: don't say anything that harms the overall situation , do not do things that affect the overall situation. Especially when encountering sensitive issues, you must ask for instructions and report in advance, and you must not take arbitrary actions..."

Li Binliang listened carefully. For some reason, he always felt that there was something in these words, but there was a sound behind them, but he didn't understand what they meant. After the meeting was over, Li Binliang walked to Mayor Nian. Before he could speak, Mayor Nian asked him to take the police to the scene to maintain order, and then hurried out.Li Binliang braced himself to stop him: "Mayor Nian, I have something important to report to you!" Mayor Nian drew his attention and opened his eyes wide: "What's the matter?" Li Binliang told about Niu Qiang and that Niu Qiang was the nephew of Vice Mayor Jiang, and asked Mayor Nian for instructions on what to do.

The mayor of Nian blinked his eyes after listening, and abnormally did not express his position as straightforwardly as in the past, but hesitated for a while before asking: "This... You said that Er Mingzi and Niu Qiang talked on the phone... Just based on this, you two I think Niu Qiang is related to these two murders..." Li Binliang patiently: "Mayor Nian, Er Mingzi talked to Niu Qiang when Huo Tao died and we were arresting him. This is obviously suspicious and we must find out. Now, Niu Qiang is gone again, so ..." Before Li Binliang could finish speaking, Mayor Nian resumed his decisive style. He walked forward with firm steps without saying anything. This made Li Binliang at a loss as to what to do. After thinking about it, he felt that he should listen to Mayor Nian's attitude, and then walked forward, but saw him walk to the door of Deputy Mayor Jiang's office, and even the door was closed. He broke in without knocking, and slammed the door hard behind him. Li Binliang had no choice but to stop outside the door. There was no movement in the room. Li Binliang knew that Mayor Nian must be asking Vice Mayor Jiang in a low voice. I don't know if Vice Mayor Jiang will admit it or not...Suddenly, Mayor Nian's stern voice came out: "I just said at the meeting Well, whoever ruins the overall situation of Jiangquan, I will settle accounts with whoever, you are the deputy mayor, you should know what to do, if you really know and do not act, something goes wrong and damages the overall situation of Jiangquan, I will be the first to report it to the prefectural committee, With you without me..." Deputy Mayor Jiang: "Mayor Nian, listen to me..." Mayor Nian: "I won't listen. I only have one sentence. You must find a way to find him and hand him over to the Public Security Bureau. Don't say anything else!" Unexpectedly, Mayor Nian has such an attitude, which is really great. If you know this, you might as well report to him earlier... Li Bin thought gratefully, the room remembered Mayor Nian's heavy footsteps, walking towards the door, Li Binliang hurriedly backed away. The door opened, Mayor Nian came out with an angry face, slammed the door hard again, saw Li Binliang, and stopped: "Ah... Binliang, you are still there, just in time, I talked to Mayor Jiang, you Go in and find him, he will tell you the truth. I am like this, no matter who he is, I will not agree to Jiang Quan's dark feelings!" After Mayor Nian finished speaking, he turned his head and left in a hurry. Li Binliang wanted to ask himself if he still wanted to go to the demolition site, but looking at it now, Mayor Nian didn't seem to care much about it.That's okay... He walked out of the city hall first, asked the chief of the security team to lead a team to the demolition site, and explained a few precautions, mainly to maintain order, ensure the smooth progress of the demolition, and not to use force easily. If anything happens, contact him immediately They communicated and waited, then turned back into the building and walked to the door of Vice Mayor Jiang's office. Although it was very difficult, he still gritted his teeth and knocked on the door. The door opened immediately. Obviously, Deputy Mayor Jiang was standing at the door.He opened the door, turned around and walked into the room without looking at Li Binliang: "Director Li, close the door!" Li Binliang closed the door and walked into the room. Deputy Mayor Jiang slowly sat back in his seat, motioned for Li Binliang to sit on the sofa chair opposite, and then took out a cigarette and lit it.Li Binliang noticed that his hands were shaking slightly. After half a cigarette went in, Deputy Mayor Jiang finally calmed down a little. He raised his eyes and said to Li Binliang, "Director Li, I have always supported your work, and I have also expressed my opinion to you. Regarding this matter, you You should come to me directly, why did you make it so complicated... By the way, what do you think about this matter, do you think Niu Qiang is really related to these two murders? Did he kill those two classmates?" Li Binliang hurriedly: "No, no, Mayor Jiang, now, I can only say that Niu Qiang may be related to the two murders, everything can only be confirmed after finding him and finding out the truth. Mayor Jiang, I..." Deputy Mayor Jiang gently moved his fingers: "Okay, don't explain, just now, Mayor Nian scolded me, I will fully support your work. In fact, the last time you went to Xinda University to see Niu Qiang I also know about the matter, and I didn’t mention it to you for fear of arousing your suspicions... How about this, I will find a way to help you find Niu Qiang, but if he really committed a crime, when dealing with it , I also hope that for the sake of my deputy mayor's face, I can deal with it lightly!" The words are really not level. Li Binliang carefully said: "Of course, within the scope permitted by the law, we will try our best to deal with it lightly. However, firstly, it depends on whether he has committed a crime, secondly, the extent of his involvement in the crime, and thirdly... if he is held criminally responsible , and the final disposition is to be decided by the court." Deputy Mayor Jiang sighed heavily: "I know that if he really committed a crime, no one can replace him, so he can only be thrown out... Yes, even if it involves me, I will also be thrown out, and I can't hurt anyone because of me. Jiangquan's overall situation. But what about you, the case is solved, so enough is enough!" What does this mean... Li Binliang, who was somewhat clear at first, became confused again. Deputy Mayor Jiang didn't explain or say anything, so Li Binliang stood up and said goodbye. Li Binliang walked out of Vice Mayor Jiang's office and walked out along the corridor. At this moment, a tall and thin figure hurriedly came from the opposite side: "Director Li, hurry up..." It was Hu Xuezheng. Li Binliang: "What happened again?" Hu Xuezheng: "Shen Bing called, they found Niu Qiang in the provincial capital!" Li Binliang: "Really, great, what's the matter?" Hu Xuezheng: "That's right. Didn't you remind them to check Niu Qiang's car? With the cooperation of the local public security organs, they checked the video footage of several intersections. They found that Niu Qiang's car had left the city!" Li Binliang: "Out of the city? Where did you escape?" Hu Xuezheng: "Go east!" Li Binliang: "To the east, to the east of the provincial capital... Isn't this coming to Jiangquan!" Hu Xuezheng: "Yes, he might run back to Jiangquan when he was in a panic...By the way, Shen Bing originally wanted to report to you directly, but you turned off the phone, so you had to call me!" Only then did Li Binliang remember that during the meeting just now, Mayor Nian asked everyone to turn off their mobile phones. After the meeting, he forgot to turn it on. After Hu Xuezheng finished speaking, he asked him if he had discussed this matter with Vice Mayor Jiang just now. Li Binliang explained the situation just now, and then asked Hu Xuezheng to take people immediately to deploy surveillance near Vice Mayor Jiang's home. Hu Xuezheng: "This...Since Mayor Jiang said he would support our work, we are still like this... Besides, he is the deputy mayor, so let's do this..." Li Binliang interrupted Hu Xuezheng: "If something goes wrong, I will be responsible, so act now!" Hu Xuezheng still looked at Li Binliang: "Boss Li, Deputy Mayor Jiang is the city leader. You do this... Now, it is a critical moment for you. Be careful what you do and try not to offend anyone, especially the leader..." Li Binliang knew that Hu Xue was worried about himself and himself.If something happened to him and he failed to become the director, he might be implicated, which would defeat his hope of being promoted to the deputy director of criminal investigation.On the other hand, although he gave the order, he was the one who actually executed it, and the executor also offended others.For this reason, he had to explain: "I really don't want to offend people, and we try not to offend people. However, this must be on the premise that it does not affect the solution of the case. First, Mayor Jiang expressed his support for our work, but , We don't know what he thinks in his heart. Second, even if he sincerely supports us, Niu Qiang may not necessarily listen to him. Let's go, I will act with you!" After hearing this, Hu Xuezheng stopped talking and walked out of the government building with Li Binliang. Li Binliang knew that there was another measure that should be taken, that is, to monitor Deputy Mayor Jiang, but it was really difficult for him to issue such an order. You must know that the target of monitoring was the Deputy Mayor... But after much deliberation, he Hu Xuezheng is still required to do this. Hu Xuezheng was also a little shocked and hesitant: "Director Li, let Vice Mayor Jiang know about this..." Li Binliang: "I will explain to him. We are doing this to catch Niu Qiang, not against him. Let's act. By the way, keep it secret... Hey, I just wanted to ask you something..." Li Binliang expressed his feelings: Deputy Mayor Jiang seemed to have known about Shen Bing's actions, and Niu Qiang's disappearance earlier confirmed this. Hu Xuezheng: "You mean, someone ran away?" Li Binliang: "What do you think?" Hu Xuezheng: "It should be like this, but who ran away?" Li Binliang: "Few people know about Shen Bing going to the provincial capital." Hu Xuezheng: "Shen Bing wouldn't do such a thing, he is also an old detective, and he is still very reliable, so who could it be?" Li Binliang: "How is Ren Tiezhu?" Hu Xuezheng: "This... no way, even if he ran away, he wouldn't be with Niu Qiang. How could he go to him?" This makes sense, but if it is really him, there can be another explanation... However, at present, this kind of explanation can only be kept in his heart, and even he himself is not very clear, so he can only keep it in his heart and cannot tell anyone. Li Binliang: "Stop talking about this, let's act!" Vice Mayor Jiang lives in the corruption building. That seems too blunt to say.In fact, this kind of situation is very common at the grassroots level, and even in poor areas, this kind of situation can be seen everywhere: in the best places in the locality, villa-like small buildings are built, and the local dignitaries live in them.However, the situation in Jiangquan City is not that serious. They just built a family residential building with a novel and beautiful shape, a solid building, a reasonable design, and little personal payment. Of course, most of the people living in it are Deputy Mayor Jiang and the like. figure.As for which unit made it and where the money came from, we don't need to pursue it.Anyway, the local people call this building Corruption Building.That’s why it’s called so. There are two meanings in it. One is that there are corruption problems in the construction of this building, and the other is that most of the people living in it are corrupt elements. Of course, this is a bit too much, perhaps, there are a few living in it with the money they earned, but people have to ask again, a unit is nearly 200 square meters, plus decoration, not three to four hundred thousand I can't get down at all. In Jiangquan, how many ordinary cadres and ordinary people can make so much money?How do people with so much money earn it?If it's like the United States... no, it doesn't need to be like the United States, just like the Hong Kong ICAC. Take the people living there to the office to have a few cups of tea and ask them where they got so much money. I'm afraid there are not many people Can make it clear.The point is, Jiang Quan is not Hong Kong, it is impossible to do this, and no one dares to do it. If someone does this, in the end, the unlucky one must be you.This is our characteristic. We talk about anti-corruption, but corruption is there and no one cares about it. How can this be convincing?By the way, after this building is built, Li Binliang can actually live in it, but unfortunately, he doesn't have that much money, and he can't bear the reputation after hearing the people's comments, so he will never be able to live in it .Probably, if you can’t eat grapes, you will say sour grapes! Alright, let's not discuss what happened to this building, let's continue our story.However, for the sake of brevity, we still call it the Corruption Building. Li Binliang and Hu Xuezheng mobilized the criminal police brigade to closely monitor the corruption building. Of course, those who participated in the operation were all in plain clothes and made up, tight inside and loose outside, so it was difficult for outsiders to detect. However, just after the control was completed, Li Binliang's cell phone rang, and it was the deputy mayor Jiang who called: "Director Li? I've got in touch with Niu Qiang..." Deputy Mayor Jiang could not conceal his joy. He told Li Binliang that he had persuaded Niu Qiang to surrender, and Niu Qiang agreed.Now, Niu Qiang was on his way from the provincial capital to Jiangquan. When he arrived, he immediately took him to the Public Security Bureau. Li Binliang is very happy, he is a leader and he is still conscious. It seems that his original guard is superfluous. He thanked Vice Mayor Jiang happily, and said that he would personally take someone to pick up Niu Qiang at the intersection in the west of the city. Well, Deputy Mayor Jiang heard what he said, so he went as well. However, Hu Xuezheng heard the news and said: "It seems to be going too well!" Li Binliang was taken aback for a moment, yes, it really went so smoothly, can it be so smooth? I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart. However, Deputy Mayor Jiang did not lie. Less than 30 minutes after Li Binliang, Hu Xuezheng and others arrived at the intersection in the west of the city, Niu Qiang's unique dark green sports car appeared in sight, and quickly drove up to him and stopped at the intersection. On the side of the road, Niu Qiang's thick body got out of the car and looked at them with a pair of stupid eyes. Li Binliang glanced at Vice Mayor Jiang, and the two walked forward together. Hu Xuezheng and two criminal policemen also stepped forward. Niu Qiang looked at Vice Mayor Jiang and said nothing. Deputy Mayor Jiang said to Niu Qiang: "Just come back, go with Director Li, admit it's your own business, don't blame others, don't talk nonsense, do you hear me?" Niu Qiang gave a "hmm" and looked at Li Binliang. Li Binliang signaled to Hu Xuezheng that under the hostage of Hu Xuezheng and two criminal policemen, Niu Qiang got into the car nonchalantly. The interrogation went well. At the beginning, Niu Qiang pretended not to know anything, but he couldn't explain the fact that he had talked with Er Mingzi on the phone. In the end, he had to admit that he ordered Er Mingzi to deal with Huo Tao. A breakthrough appeared, and Hu Xuezheng, the presiding judge, followed immediately: "Okay, tell me, why Er Mingzi was ordered to deal with Huo Tao?" Niu Qiang: "Because I have a grudge against him!" Hu Xuezheng: "What hatred?" Niu Qiang: "Too many, when we were in the same class in high school, we were awkward!" Hu Xuezheng: "Niu Qiang, you didn't answer my question, what enmity do you have, what's wrong with you?" Niu Qiang: "This... I fought with him before!" Hu Xuezheng: "Tell me the specific situation. Do the teachers and students know what the fight was, when it happened, and to what extent?" Niu Qiang started talking. He said that when he was still a sophomore in high school, he did not do well in a school test. Huo Tao did well in the test and showed himself everywhere. The students pulled away.He also said that this kind of thing happened several times. He had long been angry with Huo Tao and wanted to take revenge. After he went to college, he called Er Mingzi and asked him to clean him up for him. Hu Xuezheng: "That's all, because of this incident, and what happened in the second year of high school, you still remember revenge when you go to college?" Niu Qiang lowered his head: "But, I just let Er Mingzi teach him a lesson, and didn't let him kill him. His death has nothing to do with me!" Hu Xuezheng: "Whether it has anything to do with you, we will investigate clearly. Okay, tell me again, what is the relationship between you and Er Mingzi?" Niu Qiang raised his head: "We... are we... classmates?" Hu Xuezheng: "Student, as far as we know, Er Mingzi has already stopped studying." Niu Qiang: "Yes, but we still maintain a relationship!" Hu Xuezheng: "Then you are not classmates anymore. If you make a phone call in the provincial capital, he will obey you obediently. Your relationship must be very special!" Niu Qiang wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, he didn't speak, but showed a resentful expression. Apparently, he didn't want to deny it. Hu Xuezheng: "Niu Qiang, since you surrendered yourself, you have to tell the truth, otherwise, you are not surrendering, understand? I think your words are a bit illogical, just because you had an awkward fight with Huo Tao, you still instigate others It seems like taking it too far to take it out on yourself. Don't you think so?" It's too much, and a bit illogical.However, Niu Qiang replied: "Whoever has trouble with me, I will settle accounts with him sooner or later!" Li Binliang's heart skipped a beat.Yes, whether it is logical or not varies from person to person, and it should be said that it is not surprising for people who must revenge. But that's not all the illogical.Hu Xuezheng suddenly: "So, how did you know we were looking for you?" Niu Qiang was taken aback: "This...I..." Hu Xuezheng: "I'm asking you, how did you know we were looking for you in the provincial capital, and you escaped from the campus beforehand?" Niu Qiang: "This... no, I didn't know you were looking for me, how could I know you were looking for me?" Hu Xuezheng: "I don't know, I don't know why I left the campus early in the morning, didn't you answer the phone, who called? Look, your mobile phone is in our hands, and we can find it if you don't tell me!" A trace of panic flashed across Niu Qiang's face, but he immediately tried to calm down: "This... this is a wrong call, and I don't know who it is!" lie. Hu Xuezheng: "But, it was after you answered this call that you left the school in a panic." Niu Qiang: "No, no, I... After I answered the phone, I suddenly remembered that Er Mingzi had called me, saying that Huo Tao was dead, and the Public Security Bureau was looking for him. He was very scared, and I was a little panicked. I wanted to find him. You explain things clearly and drive back!" If you don't follow up carefully, on the surface, his words are reasonable, but anyone with a little brain can analyze that he is lying. It seems that he did not come to surrender, this is a strategy, a carefully planned strategy. It seems that it will be difficult to take him down for a while. Hu Xuezheng wanted to continue to ask, but Li Binliang took over the words: "So, did Er Mingzi tell you, how did Huo Tao get killed by him?" Niu Qiang: "This...he said, he was chasing Huo Tao, and watched Huo Tao run towards Jiang Ti, he said...he said..." Ren Tiezhu suddenly said, "What did he say, hurry up and tell you, Er Mingzi and Huo Yazi have already told the truth, we will know if you tell the truth or not!" Niu Qiang seemed to have been hit by a rumor. He glanced at Ren Tiezhu and then at Li Binliang: "This...he...he said that when they were beating Huo Tao, Huo Tao fell from the pontoon bridge into the river, probably because he was drowned. dead!" This…… Li Binliang and Hu Xuezheng looked at each other, Li Binliang gestured to the outside, and the two walked out. Li Binliang said to Hu Xuezheng: "You continue to interrogate Niu Qiang, and I will organize people to interrogate Er Mingzi immediately." Li Binliang interrogated Er Mingzi again. Er Mingzi used the same old saying at the beginning, saying that when they saw Huo Tao running towards the river embankment, they stopped chasing him. After everything happened, Er Mingzi suddenly became very angry: "Damn it, Niu Qiang is not mean enough, I work for him, he doesn't do things for me, but... Well, I admit, Huo Tao came from the pontoon bridge. Fell into the river!" Li Binliang: "Tell me about the specific process, what happened?" Er Mingzi: "The process... is that Huo Yazi and I chased him, and he ran until he reached the pontoon bridge. We overtook him. As soon as we beat him, he dodged and fell into the river." Li Binliang: "And then, what happened to the fall?" Er Mingzi: "This... Later, we left, I don't know!" Huo Yazi was re-examined to prove that what Er Mingzi said was true, but Huo Yazi said a little more than Er Mingzi: "After he fell into the river, he couldn't get up again. He called for help and said he couldn't swim. I think Help him, but Er Mingzi said don’t worry about it, he laughed and pulled me away..." His voice lowered: "Actually, I already knew that Huo Tao must have drowned like this, but Er Mingzi told me , if we admit that we chased him into the water, he might be treated as a murderer, so I dare not admit it!" Er Mingzi was interrogated again, and what Huo Yazi said was similar: "That's what happened, but we didn't push him into the water, we didn't kill him!" Shen Bing, who had rushed back, participated in the interrogation. He slapped the table angrily when he heard this: "Who did you kill? If you didn't chase him down, could he run to the pontoon bridge? Fell into the river? If you find that he can’t swim, rescue him in time, can he die? You are killing people in disguise, and you should bear criminal responsibility!” Er Mingzi: "This...but, no matter what, we didn't push him down!" This kid really made his point. No matter what responsibility they bear, no matter how hateful they are, if the facts are as they say, they really can't be said to have killed people, and they won't be convicted of murder. At present, the statements of the three people are consistent and basically in line with the actual situation, which may be the case. Li Binliang asked Er Mingzi and Huo Yazi in detail how they beat Huo Tao. Er Mingzi said that he stabbed Huo Tao in the back, but the stabbing was not deep, and Huo Yazi hit Huo Tao several times. These are also consistent with the forensic autopsy identification. Li Binliang looked at the time on his phone. It was already noon. He decided to suspend the interrogation and hold a small meeting with relevant personnel. At this moment, the phone rang, and he hurriedly put it to his ear, and the voice of the chief of the security team rang out. : "Director Li, it's me..." Li Binliang thought that something happened at the demolition site, and hurriedly asked: "Why, what happened?" Chief of the Public Security Team: "No, no, Director Li, don't worry, nothing happened, everything is going well..." Li Binliang let out a sigh of relief: "What's the matter?" "This... so it's like this. We're on a lunch break. We're at the Four Seas Restaurant. Can you come over?" Four Seas Restaurant... It seems that they finished their mission and went to a restaurant for dinner. Why are they looking for me?Besides, it's noon, and according to the five prohibitions, drinking is not allowed!He hastily said, "No, I still have something to do here!" Chief of the Public Security Team: "But, everyone is waiting for you, and Mr. Jiang is also here... Director Li, Mr. Jiang will tell you personally!" Mr. Jiang...Jiang Feng, could it be that he arranged the dinner, as did the captain of the security brigade, performing official duties, how could he be invited by the client? ! Jiang Feng's friendly voice sounded on the phone: "Ju Li, no matter how busy you are, you still have to eat. Brothers have worked hard all morning. I arranged a table to express my feelings. I have to declare first that they won't come, yes?" I said you also participated, they just came over, what should I do? The dishes are already served, if you don’t come, they dare not eat! Besides, I have something to ask you, Mayor Nian said, I have something to do directly Looking for you, you also promised, you can't say nothing!" Li Binliang was in a bit of a dilemma. Although he didn't want to go, he felt that it would be wrong not to go. After thinking about it, he said, "Boss Jiang, we have discipline. Drinking alcohol is not allowed in the afternoon!" Jiang Feng: "I didn't say anything about drinking, we just had a work meal, so we didn't violate any discipline. Director Li, please do me a favor!" Speaking of this, and with Mayor Nian's words ahead, Li Binliang had no choice but to put other things aside for the time being, let Hu Xuezheng and Shen Bing consider the next action plan, and went to the Four Seas Restaurant by himself. The dishes were already set, and he was alone. Those who came to eat were not all the personnel who participated in the operation, but the persons in charge sent by various units. There were only eight people at the table, including Li Binliang and Jiang Feng. Moreover, the comrades in the bureau had all changed into plain clothes. Li Binliang saw In this case, relax a little. Jiang Feng enthusiastically gave Li Binliang the main seat, and sat beside him.Li Binliang asked about the operation in the morning, and Jiang Feng said with great satisfaction: "Nothing happened. You brothers stop there, and you don't dare to make trouble. Everything is going well. I am very happy, so I welcome everyone." For a moment...Hey, Director Li, I will do exactly what you said and stop drinking. However, everyone has stood on the construction site all morning, and they are hot and tired, so why don't you drink some beer!" This... beer is also wine! However, before he could speak, the beer had already been served. It was a large glass of draft beer, which looked really attractive.Under such circumstances, Li Binliang had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, just this one cup, and eat after one cup!" Fortunately, Jiang Feng really didn't mention anything else. After drinking a glass of draft beer, the staple food was served, and everyone was hungry, and they finished eating in a while.Seeing everyone put down their chopsticks, Li Binliang said to Jiang Feng, "Boss Jiang, thank you for your hospitality. If there is nothing else, let's go here!" However, something happened to Jiang Feng at this time.He smiled and took out a brown paper envelope from his arms: "Director Li, don't be angry, it's like this, the brothers are working hard, and there are still many places that need you in the future. This little money is a little bit of my heart. I will give it to everyone." Divide it up. Every brother in today's operation has..." What is this for! Li Binliang stood up suddenly: "Mr. Jiang, what are you doing? We are performing our duties. We shouldn't eat your food. How can we collect your money..." Jiang Feng: "Ju Li, this isn't for you, it's for the brothers..." Li Binliang: "You can't give it to anyone. We can't accept this kind of money. Mr. Jiang, please put it away quickly, otherwise, if something happens, I will have a different attitude..." Seeing Li Binliang like this, Jiang Feng put the money away helplessly, and said to the captain of the security brigade and others, "It seems that I underestimated the brothers, well, I am wrong. But, let me convey my thoughts to the brothers Bar!" After lunch, everyone went out. Jiang Feng gave Li Binliang a hand, and the two fell to the end. On the phone, he once said that he had something to ask of himself. Li Binliang knew that he still had something to say. After walking out of the restaurant, he followed into his car. It was still a high-end car, although it was very hot outside, but as soon as I entered, I felt a cool and comfortable feeling.Li Binliang sat in the passenger seat, Jiang Feng started the car and drove forward slowly. Li Binliang waited patiently, wondering what he wanted from him.However, after the car started, Jiang Feng let out a sigh of relief: "Director Li, I really admire you. Over the years, I have also met many public security chiefs, but none of them are like you. You are so serious." Seriously, the incident just now really made me lose my face, but I admire you. From this incident, you are a decent director, unlike some people who are too dark. If the police chief If you are all like you, the image of our police is much better..." It sounds pretty sincere. However, Li Binliang knew that this was not the subject he wanted to talk about.He was silent and waited patiently. Sure enough, Jiang Feng paused for a moment, and suddenly said: "Unfortunately, it is too difficult for a good person to be an official now. People like you often cannot hold real power..." Closer, about to touch what he has to say. Jiang Feng: "Yesterday, I heard something, and I couldn't calm down. After thinking about it, I should tell you!" Li Binliang became vigilant. Jiang Feng: "That's it. I heard from a friend...ah, don't ask who he is. He is from the political circle anyway. He told me that you are not the only candidate. There are several people working in Jiangquan City Public Security Bureau."局长这个位置，有两个已经活动到省里了，说有人已经答应了他们！” 李斌良的心猛地往下沉去。 应该说，这个消息没什么新奇的，在很多人看来，公安局长的位置是个大肥缺，石局长调离后，不知有多少人惦着呢，也听说有几个人活动得挺厉害，他们也都很有背景，可是，李斌良也有李斌良的优势，那就是工作成绩和影响力。可以说，在白山地区，没有一个刑侦副局长有他的名声响亮，自他担任江泉市公安局刑侦副局长职务以来，不但本局的破案绝对数年年遥遥领先，而且，命案基本没有压下，何况，那两起他经手破获的大案――原江泉市长魏民阴谋杀害责任市委书记刘新峰的案件和山阳县委书记郑楠妻子女儿被害案――更使他名声大噪，其实，在侦破郑楠那起案件后，新组建的地委在研究山阳县公安局局长时，他就是第一人选，只不过江泉市委、市政府不干，刘新峰亲自找过地委，认为江泉离不开李斌良，李斌良应该在江泉提起来才算了，所以，这次石局长调离，他自然就是江泉市公安局长的首选人物。如果说一开始李斌良还不在意的话，那么，过了这么长时间，他已经认为这是理所当然了。所以，现在一听到这个消息，心不仅往下一沉。 他知道，江峰说的不是假话，如今的官场，什么事情都会发生，特别在任用干部上，往往大家认为应该提拔的，反而得不到提拔，相反，大家认为不怎么样、不应该提拔的，往往还得到了提拔，而且，背后的运作手段，往往要比拿到台面上的东西作用大得多。 江峰：“我听了这话，心里真不舒服。李局长……啊，你比我年纪小，是老弟，我说点大话吧，大哥在省城混了这么多年，还是有点影响力的，跟白山地委也不是说不上话。如果你瞧得起大哥，大哥就帮你活动活动……” 李斌良急忙地：“不不，江总，你千万别这样……我一切听从组织安排，你可千万别这样做……” 江峰笑了一声：“组织安排……组织是谁，还不是那几个人，或者说那一两个人，老弟，你别见外，我还是……” 李斌良：“不不，你绝对不要这样，不然我可生气了……当然，你的心意我领了，谢谢您……还有事吗？我得回局了！” 江峰：“别别，我送你回去，前面就是了！” 轿车驶到公安局大楼门前停住，李斌良再次向江峰表示感谢，江峰笑了笑，按了一声喇叭驶去。 李斌良匆匆走进大楼。 刑警大队走廊里，胡学正和沈兵正在等待他。 沈兵：“李局，这顿饭吃的如何？刚才的车就是江三儿吧！怎么，你们谈得很亲密吧！” 这两个小子，肯定在窗子里看到自己从江峰的车上下来，不知他们在胡想些什么。 胡学正：“李局，你真该和他搞好关系，对你有好处！” 李斌良：“有什么好处？” 沈兵：“李局，还非要挑明了？刚才胡大队一说我才明白，这个江三儿比我说的还厉害，好多人要想升官，都走他的门路！” 李斌良转向胡学正：“你怎么知道他？” 胡学正：“我也是听省厅的朋友说的，在省城，没有多少人不知道他的，据说，江三儿的名字在很多场合要比书记市长还好使，真的李局，我们不是开玩笑，虽然大家都说你将来是江泉的公安局长，可是，任命没下来，都存在变数，他要真能帮忙，那你的把握性就更大了！” 看来，他的话和江峰说到一起去了。可是，李斌良却不想再往下听：“行了，我是什么样的人你们还不知道吗？你们少操这份心吧！” 胡学正：“李局，你这话可不对，这不只是你一个人的事，你可以不在乎，可我们不能不在乎！” 沈兵：“是啊，你还想让我这副大队长当多少年哪？” 这话说得太直了。 胡学正：“李局，沈兵既然把话说到这儿了，我也不藏着掖着了，都在官场上混，谁要是说不想进步那是假话，我也不例外，你要能上去，我也可以进一步。说真的，你刚来的时候，我真有点不服他，可经过几年相处，我现在是彻底服了，你是难得的好人，在你领导下，干活心里舒服，也放心，出了什么事你还给顶着，如果你真上去，咱们几个合起手来干，那是什么局面，可以说，江泉的老百姓都借光了！” 这话真有说到李斌良心里去了，他叹息一声：“行了，你们的意思我都明白，可是，这不是咱们自己说了算的事，还是把案子办明白吧，或许，这能帮咱们一把！” 李斌良这么一说，胡学正和沈兵也不好再说自己的了，只好把注意力转到案子上。 沈兵：“啊，案子我们俩也研究过了，现在看，再审牛强、二明子他们没什么大意思了，咱们得想办法搜集证据，弟兄们正在浮桥那边的路上走访呢，看能不能查到旁证！” 第二天，证据还真的查到了，就在离浮桥不远的路旁，有人在发案时间看到两个男青年追打一个男青年，他们都向浮桥方向跑去，后来，他只看到两个追打的男青年返回，却没有见到被追打的人，等人走后，他上浮桥看了一眼，什么也没发现。 可以想见，那时候，霍涛已经沉尸江底。 这个证词再加上小贩子陈民提供的情况及二明子、豁牙子的供述，还有法医的鉴定，基本形成了一个证据链：霍涛真是失足落水致死的。 如果这样的话，二明子和豁牙子也就是过失致人死亡，而在后边指使的牛强虽然属于共同犯罪，可是责任就更轻了，他只是让二明子“教训”霍涛，既没让、也没想到会导致霍涛死亡…… 这也意味着，霍涛白白的死了。 霍涛的案子好像可以结了，可是，吴颖呢，吴颖到底是怎么死的…… 这时，技术大队长给李斌良打来电话：“李局，省厅的DNA鉴定出来了，那些卫生纸上的精液是霍涛的！” This…… 看来，吴颖死前和她发生性关系的人就是霍涛，难道，真是他在事后杀了吴颖…… 这，好像勉强了一点。 如果是霍涛害死她的，霍涛为什么要害她？如果不是霍涛害的她，她真正的死因又是什么？ 年市长打来电话询问情况，听完后，沉思了一下说：“既然这样，牛强就先放了吧，不管怎么说，毕竟是蒋副市长的外甥，又在上大学，咱们尽量别影响他学习！” 李斌良：“不，年市长，我觉得，事情还远远没有查清楚。” 年市长：“嗯？还有哪些没查清楚？” 李斌良：“牛强的话有问题。他说，是因为和霍涛在高中的时候有别扭，才指使二明子打霍涛的，我觉得缺乏说服力！” 年市长：“你是说，他指使二明子追打霍涛有别的原因？” Li Binliang: "Yes." 年市长：“什么原因？” 李斌良：“现在还不知道，可是，只要我们深入调查下去，会搞清楚的！” 年市长沉默片刻：“不过，我必须提醒你，从目前的证据看，牛强确实没有直接责任，继续采取强制措施合适吗？蒋副市长如果向你提出这个问题，你怎么回答？” 李斌良：“这没什么，案件复杂，要继续调查，这是我们的职责和权力。” 年市长又沉默片刻：“好吧，不过，有什么新情况一定要随时告诉我！” "yes." 李斌良放下电话。 李斌良做了充分的思想准备，迎接蒋副市长的质问，可是，蒋副市长并未出面，甚至连个电话也没打，这又使李斌良觉得有点反常，因此，压力不但没觉得减轻，反而更重了。 按照法律规定，公安机关对犯罪嫌疑人的审查时间只有十二小时，如果在这个时间内找不到证据，只能放人。蒋副市长所以保持沉默，也一定因为这一点，到了十二小时，不用他说话，你也必须放了牛强。 可是，他想错了，因为二明子的指认，牛强已经构成共同犯罪，可以采取进一步措施了。 李斌良召集胡学正、沈兵和几个骨干人员连夜开会，最后形成一致意见，对牛强刑事拘留，李斌良亲自在拘留书上签上自己的名字。 李斌良知道，这回，蒋副市长要失望了，而且，肯定会对自己生出怨恨，那也没办法了。 同时，三人还决定，要继续审讯牛强、二明子和豁牙子，同时，对霍涛的关系人进行调查，搜集旁证，包括施工队的民工和霍涛的母亲和哥哥嫂子。 会开完已经是半夜时分，调查只能从明天早晨开始了。 然而，第二天早晨还没上班，李斌良就接到政委的电话，市里刚刚通知他，由市委纪检委、组织部、宣传部等几个部门组成的联合检查组要来到公安局，检查他们反腐倡廉学习整改情况，要求领导班子成员必须参加，还要汇报自己的廉政情况，每个人还要交出一份报告。 在这种情况下，在破案的关键时候，李斌良不得不把案子放下，硬着头皮迎接这次检查。
