Chapter 9 Chapter 9 The Rise of the Storm

Xu Yanrong was quickly transferred to the public security system, and was appointed as the director of the Dongcheng District Public Security Bureau.On her first day in office, Xu Yanrong called Zhou Tao over and said, "Now you can let go of the investigation. I want you to put aside other cases for now and concentrate on finding the real culprit in Xiaokui's case." Zhou Tao was naturally very happy.He didn't expect Xu Yanrong to become the director of the Public Security Bureau so soon, and said cheerfully, "That's no problem, I've already handed over the other case to someone else. It's great that you can come here, and we can It's a big fight!"

Xu Yanrong said: "Don't get too excited, this case is not as simple as you think, use your brains." Zhou Tao called out "Xu Ting" habitually, and when he thought about it wrong, he changed his mind and said, "Don't worry, Director Xu, this time, none of them will be able to escape." "Let's talk about your thoughts first." Xu Yanrong likes to listen to other people's thoughts when handling cases, and then gradually add her own thoughts in accordance with other people's thoughts. Zhou Tao said: "I'm going to take two steps: first, make a fuss about Wang Jun. I know this kid, a typical gangster, he doesn't have much strength, as long as he pries his mouth, he can make a fuss about him. Second, I suspect that this case has something to do with Zuo Wei. According to my investigation, Zuo Wei was caught with a lot of funds in the stock market in the past few years, including more than one million yuan, which was the public funds of the court. Zuo Wei was afraid that something would happen, so he borrowed The hands of Wang Jun and Sloppy are desperately collecting money for him, the purpose is to fill up this hole. In addition, he has to keep a mistress, and he has always been short of money. Wang Jun and Sloppy often use the opportunity of execution of the judgment to defraud the client. Favor fee, and then share the bill with Zuo Wei."

"Is there such a thing?" Xu Yanrong was taken aback.Although she was also in the court, she knew very little about Zuo Wei's financial affairs. She only knew that he was very lecherous. Besides Wang Jun's sister Wang Yan, he also raised a woman named Li. "No mistake, I have a friend who is also trading in stocks, and he knows Zuo Wei very well. He said that Zuo Wei has at least three million sets in the stock market. Think about it, he is the president of the court, how can he get so much money?" Xu Yanrong let out a "hmm".She had heard a little about Zuo Wei's stock speculation. As for where the money came from, she had never thought about it. Now hearing what Zhou Tao said, she felt that the matter was really suspicious.

"Well, I'll start the investigation as soon as possible according to your thinking. In addition, I also want you to participate in the car accident case of Jia Yifei in Shaxian County. This case also involves many people. It must be investigated and investigated carefully. An iron case." At this point, Xu Yanrong's face darkened, and her voice became extremely heavy, "Our time is very tight, and detours are not allowed at all. You know, I am also the chief of the bureau, and it may happen at any time. Taken away. Must get to the bottom of these two cases before they take me out."

When Zhou Tao heard this, the joy in his heart disappeared immediately.He knew that the purpose of Xu Yanrong's visit to the Public Security Bureau this time was to find out the two cases and find out who was behind the scenes.As for the worry in Xu Yanrong's heart, he never thought about it. The word "remove" is an official jargon. Although Zhou Tao is not in the officialdom, he understands its meaning.He originally thought that with the strong backing of Qiangwei, they could calmly investigate, but who knew... "Okay, how to do it specifically, just give me instructions, and I promise to complete the task." The two spoke in the same tone as when they were in the criminal police team, and nothing changed because Xu Yanrong became the chief.

Xu Yanrong expressed her thoughts.The two discussed the details for more than an hour. Xu Yanrong's phone rang. It was from the Organization Department of the district committee, asking her to attend a meeting, which was said to be a swearing-in meeting for newly promoted cadres.There is no way, Zhou Tao can only say goodbye.When they were about to break up, Xu Yanrong told him again that he must keep it secret, and don't make troubles all over the city before the case is settled. "But they are all people with backgrounds. If you haven't made any moves on your side, I have to prepare how to deal with it on my side."

Zhou Tao is Zhou Tao. One night a few days later, he led the anti-pornography team to check the hotel. There are three pairs of men and women.Zhou Tao took Yanzilou under control on the grounds of being suspected of organizing prostitution.That night, Wang Jun was taken to the Dongcheng Sub-bureau. Almost at the same time, the audit of the two funds of the Hehua Group also had a major breakthrough.Director Zhang of the Audit Bureau reported that after repeated checks by the investigation team, it was confirmed that the two funds were transferred out by false accounting. "When Hehua acquired the Dongyang Chemical Plant of the Second Light Industry System, it inflated the net assets of the plant from 2.5 million yuan to 32.5 million yuan, and washed out 30 million yuan at one time. The 3000 yuan Wan first transferred it to the account of Dongyang Chemical Factory, and then transferred it to Yinzhou Samsung Trading Company in the name of paying for equipment and raw materials. However, the audit found that the original Dongyang Chemical Factory had no business dealings with Samsung Trading Company. , and have never purchased equipment and raw materials from Samsung Trading Company. We found a contract, but it was fake at first glance. After Dongyang Chemical Factory was acquired by Hehua, Fu Guoren, the former boss of Hehua, assigned his men to trade with Samsung. signed by the company."

"What about this Samsung company? Have you investigated it?" Qiang Wei asked as he tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart. "We conducted an investigation through the Yinzhou industrial and commercial department. This company is a typical leather bag company. The boss is a southern woman named Li Min. She almost opened a company every year, and changed the signboard every year, so that the industrial and commercial department did not know what she was. How many companies have you registered? In addition, the two advertising fees are also related to Li Min. We accidentally found out when we checked the advertising expenses of the Hehua Group. The Hehua Group left an advertising contract signed with Li Min. The bidding price was 6.21 million. At that time, Li Min was the general manager of Yinzhou Sunshine Business Agency Company. This company was also short-lived, only opened for half a year.” Director Zhang’s voice was very deep, and it was clear that this person was called Li Min's mysterious woman shocked him a lot—the background of this woman who was able to steal huge sums of money from a large group company like Hehua several times in a row was not simple!

Qiang Wei's expression was completely opposite.As soon as Director Zhang said the name Li Min, a face popped up in front of his eyes.That face is youthful, beautiful, charming, and a bit wild, especially those eyes, which are simply captivating.In fact, Li Min is a fake name, this woman's real name is Li Xiaoyu, she is very young, probably in her early thirties now. She is Qi Moran's daughter-in-law! Qi Moran's eldest son, Qi Yazhou, is physically handicapped and has a limp in one leg because he suffered from polio when he was young.Marriage is not very satisfactory, married, and then divorced.When he came back from Guangzhou five years ago, Li Xiaoyu was by his side.It is said that when she was in Guangzhou, Li Xiaoyu used to be a salesperson of Qi Yazhou Company, she was very capable, Qi Yazhou admired her very much, maybe it was for this reason that the two came together?Qiang Wei is not very clear about this.When Qi Yazhou and Li Xiaoyu got married, Qiang Wei attended their wedding, and it was Yu Shuhong who informed him to go.Their wedding was held in a very low-key manner, with less than three tables of people entertained, which was unimaginable for the son of a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.At that time, Qiang Wei also asked Yu Shuhong: Why is the Qi family holding weddings so low-key?Yu Shuhong said that Qi Moran and his wife disagreed with their son marrying a salesman from a low-born background. Qi Yazhou insisted on marrying him.Under such circumstances, how dare Qi Yazhou show off?

At the wedding that day, Qiang Wei really didn't see Qi Muran's shadow. It was only later that he found out that he was traveling abroad with his wife. Qiang Wei and Li Xiaoyu only met once.But at that time, Li Xiaoyu left a deep impression on him, and later he said to Yu Shuhong: "The Qi family married a fine man. This Li Xiaoyu is not easy." "How do you know?" Yu Shuhong asked him back. Qiang Wei smiled and said: "Eyes, have you noticed her eyes? When those eyes look at people, they look from the inside out, and they can always see into your bones."

"What? You let her see through it?" Yu Shuhong teased with a smile. "I haven't, but I'm sure when she greets everyone she's thinking, can I use this person in the future?" "I said, Lao Qiang, can you not use this kind of brain in the future? Being with you is scary." Yu Shuhong didn't want to talk about Li Xiaoyu, let alone Qi Moran. I hope Qiang Wei puts his mind to this. Qiang Wei didn't deliberately want to think about that Li Xiaoyu, but the impression Li Xiaoyu left on him was so deep that after so many years, he could still clearly think of Li Xiaoyu's eyes in an instant. Li Xiaoyu is indeed not an ordinary woman. After listening to Director Zhang's report, Qiang Wei asked again: "What about the 30 million for purchasing equipment? Has there been any progress?" Chief Zhang shook his head.As far as their capabilities are concerned, it is not yet possible to conduct further investigations into this matter.After all, the power of the audit department is very limited, it is not like the police, nor is it like a court.Moreover, the equipment was purchased from Guangzhou. If we want to find out the 30 million yuan, we must seek the active cooperation of Guangzhou. This point, even for Qiangwei, may be quite difficult. But Qiang Wei has an intuition that Hongyuan Machinery Company must be a leather bag company just like Li Min's company, and its real boss must be Qi Muran's son Qi Yazhou! Calculated according to the time, the time to purchase the equipment was the time when Qi Yazhou retreated from Guangzhou, and it was also the time when he and Li Xiaoyu had a heated fight. The problem just got worse.If Qi Muran had really colluded with Fu Guoren, the boss of Hehuayuan, and used his son and daughter-in-law to transfer these huge sums of money, then Qi Muran's legs had already been deeply involved in this shocking case. deep! Qiang Wei didn't dare to think about it anymore. That afternoon, Qiang Wei hurried to the provincial capital.While still in the car, he called Yu Shuhong.Upon hearing his nervous tone, Yu Shuhong's tone also became tense: "What is it that can surprise you like this?" "Let's talk about it when we meet. The matter is really serious. You can't have any entertainment in the afternoon. Find a place after get off work and wait for me!" Yu Shuhong gave a "hmm" and reminded: "Drive slowly, no matter how urgent you are, you won't miss the time on the road." When we arrived at the provincial capital, it was already dark.Autumn has finished its footsteps, and Yinzhou in early winter is bleak.The wind blew against the bare branches, making a roaring sound.After the green color of the earth faded, it turned out to be so bleak!Qiang Wei sent the driver away and ran straight to Qinjiayao, where Yu Shuhong was waiting for him in a hotel there. After meeting, Yu Shuhong asked, "What's the matter? You've never been so flustered before." Qiang Wei said: "If I told you, it would be strange if you didn't panic!" When she first received the call, Yu Shuhong thought it was Qi Muran who had said something to him.These days, Qi Muran is eyeing her fiercely, and is also thinking about her. He even sends a director of the organization department to talk to her and ask her where she wants to go.Yu Shuhong was already prepared to leave the provincial party committee compound. Qi Muran took good care of her if she was lucky enough to stay until now, otherwise she should have moved her seat last time.Secretary Gao Bo's illness had already spread throughout the Provincial Party Committee compound. The definite news was that Secretary Gao Bo had been diagnosed with cerebral palsy and had completely become a vegetable.Right now, not only the provincial party committee compound, but also the government, the CPPCC, and the National People's Congress are in panic. Yinzhou has since entered a special period. After simply ordering a few dishes, and dismissing the waiter, while drinking tea, Qiang Wei explained the problems Hehua found out.Sure enough, less than half of what he had heard, Yu Shuhong's face turned pale with shock. "Are you sure that it was his son and daughter-in-law who did it?" "There is no conclusive evidence yet, but they must have done the thing, and there is absolutely nothing wrong." Qiang Wei said. Yu Shuhong stopped talking. The news caused her no less shock than when she heard of Secretary Gao Bo's cerebral palsy.After a long time, she opened her mouth and uttered a sentence with difficulty: "Old Qiang, what you have done has caused a catastrophe." "I know that." Qiang Wei took a sip of tea, and said with a serious face: "That's why I was in a hurry to find you and listen to your opinion. What should I do next?" "Next step? Old Qiang, do you still have a next step?" Yu Shuhong stood up abruptly, her chest heaving violently: "Stop immediately, you didn't do this!" "Stop?" Qiang Wei stared at Yu Shuhong in surprise. "You call immediately and tell your Director Zhang to withdraw immediately!" Yu Shuhong's tone could not be disobeyed.It was the first time for Qiang Wei to see her shocked to this extent.The last time I talked about Lao Kui, although she was nervous, her composure still existed, but today... "Did you hear? You don't want to be a political martyr, do you?" "Sister Hong, this..." Qiang Wei was stumped.Yu Shuhong's words, should he listen or not? At this time, the waiter came in to pour tea and asked if the cold dish was ready, do you want to serve it now?The two of them hurriedly hid the shock on their faces, pretending to be chatting casually, and said, "We'll get ready later, let's go together." As soon as the waiter left, Yu Shuhong said, "You can't check this matter. How much weight do you have? You don't even know your identity, do you?" "But I found out. What do you want me to do?" Qiang Wei was slightly dissatisfied with Yu Shuhong's attitude.He didn't expect that she would be so afraid. "What should I do? What else can you do, prepare to pack up and go home." Yu Shuhong said angrily. "Even if I go home, I have to lift the lid." Qiang Wei fought hard.In fact, he misunderstood Yu Shuhong.For a while, Yu Shuhong was not thinking about how to investigate the case, but how to protect him. Yu Shuhong was overwhelmed by his stubbornness.It is said that Qiang Wei is a stick, and she had some opinions on this kind of evaluation before, but after experiencing it today, she completely understands: this person is even more stick than a stick! "I'm afraid you haven't lifted it yet, your hands and feet have been bound by others." She said helplessly. Yu Shuhong was right to be worried.While she was having dinner with Qiang Wei, in another restaurant in the provincial capital, Qi Muran was frowning and listening to Zhou Yichan's report on work. Zhou Yican originally didn't want to meet Qi Muran in a hurry, she had her own ideas.Since Qi Muran didn't put her in the position of secretary of the municipal party committee last time, but continued to let Qiang Wei give orders, then let Qiang Wei worry about him and be responsible for him. She wants to see how Qi Muran accepts her. In this field, will one day regret it so much that I can't even eat. But this is just an idea, let's get angry, when the critical moment comes, Zhou Yican still can't wait to see Qi Muran, and now Zhou Yican can't help himself.She couldn't figure out what she wanted to do.Most of the time, she clearly sees something waiting for her not far in front of her. As long as she works harder, her desires, dreams, and pursuits can all be realized. Who can refuse this golden temptation? Anyway, Zhou Yican couldn't refuse, and she didn't want to refuse!Even if it is an adventure, she is determined to give it a go. This day Zhou Tieshan came to the door again, and as soon as he entered the office, he said, "Big sister, pack up quickly and follow me to the provincial capital." "do what?" "What else can you do? Just stop asking a few questions and come with me." Zhou Tieshan said in a hurry. "Let me go without asking, Boss Zhou, who do you think I am?" Zhou Yican showed displeasure on his face.During these days, Zhou Tieshan became more and more unscrupulous in front of her, which made her unhappy. Knowing that she felt uncomfortable again, Zhou Tieshan sighed, closed the door and said, "Qiang Wei is investigating the Hehua Group, and I just heard about it." "What does he have to do with me to investigate the Hehua Group? The Hehua Group is cooperating with Rui Te, and it is also necessary to check the accounts. Why are you in a hurry?" As soon as Zhou Tieshan heard that Zhou Yican was speaking in an official tone again, Zhou Tieshan became anxious: "Oh, my big sister, I can't help but feel anxious, and you still have the mind to deal with me? Go, go quickly." "I'm not going." Zhou Yican's words seemed to come from her heart.After all, she and Zhou Tieshan have not yet reached the point of not distinguishing between you and me. Zhou Tieshan is so afraid that she cannot but arouse her vigilance. She had already heard about Qiang Wei's investigation into the Hehua Group, but she didn't know exactly what was found out.At this time, shouldn't we distance ourselves from Zhou Tieshan? Just thinking about it, Qi Moran's call came.Zhou Yican picked up the phone and just said "Hello", when Qi Muran said: "Why, please don't move?" Zhou Yican's scalp went numb, and she hurriedly said, "I'm about to go on the road. Iron Mountain is also there , let's come together." "It's up to you whether you come or not. Why, are you really wronged?" After Qi Muran said this, Zhou Yican absolutely didn't dare to hesitate any more, didn't dare to delay for another minute, and hurried to the provincial capital.It wasn't until he arrived in the provincial capital that he found out that Qi Muran was in a hurry to find her because of the Hehua Group.Zhou Yican was not in a hurry to tell what she heard, she thought, it would not be too late to report after she figured out what Qi Muran was thinking. Zhou Tieshan was very anxious this day, he still did not give up on Hehua Group.On the way, he kept yelling that if Qiang Wei really dared to sell Hehua Group to Rui Te Company, he would risk his life to get rid of Qiang.Zhou Yican ignored him and just pretended not to hear him.When he arrived at Qi Muran's place, Zhou Tieshan was still talking boldly, and Qi Muran suddenly lowered his face: "Who do you want to destroy? Show me now!" Seeing that Qi Muran was angry, Zhou Tieshan stopped talking, but, He still looked unwilling.Qi Muran gave him a hateful look, turned his face away, and asked Zhou Yican to tell the story of his contact with Miss Murray first. Zhou Yican didn't dare to play tricks anymore, if he did, Qi Muran would turn his anger on her.She stroked her hair, sat upright as much as possible, and assumed a very respectful posture.But when she opened her mouth to report the negotiation situation to Qi Muran, she realized that there are some things that cannot be said. During the negotiations, Zhou Yican did make an appointment with Mai Rui.On the one hand, Qi Muran hinted to her more than once, asking her to do her best to stop the negotiation. "I still mean the same thing. Investment is investment. Don't mix it with acquisition. I really don't know what you think. You suddenly want to invest, sometimes you want to acquire, and you play the piano!" On the other hand, Zhou Yican was also unconvinced: Why should Qiang Wei pull the Ritter company over?She did all the preliminary work of Ruite Company. How much effort did she spend on Mai Rui?She can't just watch Mai Rui and Qiang Wei successfully cooperate, let alone tolerate Mai Rui's betrayal of her! That night, she invited Mai Rui to another hotel, and asked straight to the point: "Do you really want to cooperate with Qiang Wei?" "Isn't cooperating with Secretary Qiang the same as cooperating with you, Mayor Zhou?" Mai Rui said, looking at her pitifully.Zhou Yican found that Mai Rui became much more mature when she came to Heyang this time, and she was no longer the unsophisticated big girl when she first came into contact with her. "You can't say that, Ms. Murray. My attitude was very clear from the beginning. Qiangwei and I, whoever does his own business, whoever walks whose way, has nothing to do with each other. I still have the same wish, invest as much as you invest, and don't follow The river melts and stirs together." "But the negotiation has already started, and the two sides have a lot in common." Mai Rui came fully prepared, as if he had already forgotten the promise he had made to Zhou Yichan. Hearing Mai Rui's tone, Zhou Yichan suddenly understood that Mai Rui no longer took her seriously.The traitor!She hesitated for a while, then gritted her teeth, and took out something from her bag, which was not evidence of Mai Rui's affair with Ouyang - at this point, the matter between her and Ouyang could no longer restrain her.What she produced was another piece of evidence. Mai Rui took it nonchalantly, treating it as a photo of dating Ouyang, wishing that Zhou Yican would distribute it everywhere.When I opened it, I was dumbfounded! It was a photo of Murray meeting a government official from a neighboring province.The photo was very clear, and the red tide on Mai Rui's face could be seen clearly. The official was even more embarrassed. He had just finished having an affair with Mai Rui, and he was caught before he was fully dressed. Murray's face was pale.Only then did she understand what Zhou Yican meant when she bought a tie and a belt for Ouyang in the provincial capital last time, "tie the man up".If these photos fall into Ouyang's hands, her life will be over, and all her efforts will be in vain. Only then did Zhou Yican say: "You betrayed the Ritter Company and sold the company's information privately to gain benefits for yourself. You also betrayed Mr. Ouyang and slept with a man who was old enough to be your father. If these two things make Ouyang knows, Miss Murray, you probably know the result without me going into details, right?" "You... you... where did you get these?" Zhou Yican regained his composure and said, "Miss Mai Rui, let me tell you the truth, I have paid attention to you since the day you became the representative of the Northwest District. I have evidence for everything you have done in the Northwest District. Just because Your private deal with this official ruined the cooperation between Ritter and the province, and Ritter's company shifted its target to our province. I didn't expect you to come here and want to repeat the old trick. I want to ask, Qiang Wei What benefit did it give you, so I wouldn't pull you into bed, right?" "Mayor Zhou, you misunderstood, I...I..." "Miss Murray, there are some mistakes that cannot be made again and again. You are still young, and you have a long way to go. If you rely on your youth and beauty, and you don't care about anything, I have nothing to say. You yourself Think about it carefully, what should I do, please give me an answer as soon as possible." After finishing speaking, she dropped Mai Rui and left the hotel. Mai Rui stayed in that hotel for a long time before returning to Heyang Hotel with hobbled steps.That night, she finally got through to Ouyang Moqian and asked anxiously: Can you adjust the direction of the negotiation? Ouyang didn't understand why she asked this, but his tone was still the same as before: "The merger of Hehua was discussed repeatedly by the board of directors, and this direction must not be changed. As for the details of the negotiation, you can master it yourself." After talking on the phone, Mai Rui fell on the bed in despair, she was done thinking about it, and everything was in vain. She let Zhou Yican and Ouyang pinch each other, and forced her into a dead end.what to do?What should I do?If she had known this, she shouldn't have known Zhou Yichan, she shouldn't have listened to her sweet words, and she shouldn't have had a heart-to-heart relationship with this woman.Compared with myself, Zhou Yican is the real fox. What is she, Mai Rui? Mai Rui was so regretful that her intestines were turning green. How should she sing in the next play?She didn't want to lose this job, let alone Ouyang, but Zhou Yican's words were like a knife, cutting off her two dreams with a "click". Zhou Yican, you vicious woman!Mai Rui couldn't help but cursed in his heart, and burst into tears. Just when Mai Rui was in despair and suffering, Ouyang Moqian suddenly called again and asked her if something happened to her.Frightened, Mai Rui beat around the bush and said: Mayor Zhou had a conflict with Secretary Qiang, and the two were arguing over this matter.Zhou Yican disagreed with the acquisition of Hehua. "She doesn't agree? Her appetite is too big!" Ouyang paused, and then said, "Let's do it, tomorrow you bring a hundred thousand dollars and give it to her, but you have to leave evidence to see if she accepts it." What about the money?" Mai Rui asked as if rescued: "What if she doesn't accept it?" Ouyang paused, and said: "If she doesn't accept it, you can tell the truth that I gave it to her." Mai Rui hurriedly responded, feeling a little calmer.Ouyang Moqian said again: "Remember, Mai Rui, we have to get Hehua this time. This is the principle. Under this principle, you have to be more flexible. A good Monday will not make you so difficult, right? ?” The next day, Mai Rui called Zhou Yican and said that the company headquarters had news and hoped to meet her as soon as possible.Zhou Yican was in the office at the time, and returned to her residence not long after answering the phone.After a while, Murray came.Mai Rui put down the handbag, put on the relaxed expression before, and said: "Sister Zhou, the company headquarters is very grateful to you, let me express it." "Show?" Zhou Yican glanced at the handbag, suddenly understood something, and said, "Mai Rui, who do you think I am?" Mai Rui smiled: "I'll just treat you as sister Zhou, who else can I treat you as?" He said, opened the handbag, and took out the heavy dollar bills.Zhou Yican was terrified by the pile of dollar bills in front of him, and immediately rushed forward, shouting: "Take it away, don't use your brains on me!" As soon as her hand touched the money, Murray pressed the shutter of the miniature video camera.Mai Rui is good at this job, and he is not inferior to Zhou Yichan at all. "Sister Zhou, since I brought it, I don't plan to take it away. Whether you accept it or not is up to you. But Ouyang has something to tell you, I wonder if Sister Zhou wants to hear it?" It's very different. "Ouyang?" Zhou Yican raised her head vigilantly, and fixed her eyes on Mai Rui again.Mai Rui's performance today was so unusual that Zhou Yican had to be cautious. "Sister Zhou, tell the truth, I didn't give you the money, but Ouyang asked me to give it to you." "No one asks you, you take it away!" Zhou Yican's tone suddenly became severe, and seeing that Mai Rui hadn't moved, he said, "You don't need to take it away, I'll call and ask the discipline inspection Comrades from the Committee will come and get it." As he spoke, he really took out his cell phone and started dialing.Mai Rui's hand gently pressed hers: "Sister Zhou, why bother? One family doesn't talk about two families, so don't make it difficult for everyone to step down." "Family? Mai Rui, let me tell you clearly, I have nothing to do with you!" Zhou Yican became a little anxious, her face was flushed with excitement, and her body was also heaving violently.Seeing her like this, Mai Rui felt amused: "Sister Zhou, you are worthy of being the mayor. If you say you turn your back on it, you will turn your back on it. Well, I won't talk to you anymore, just tell Ouyang directly." Mai Rui quickly He dialed Ouyang's cell phone, muttered a few words, and handed the cell phone to Zhou Yican. Zhou Yican didn't want to answer at first, so why should she listen to Mai Rui?But she still took the phone, and after listening to it for less than a minute, her face turned green, slowly grayed and darkened, and she couldn't see any blood. Ouyang was still talking over there, but Zhou Yican couldn't hold it anymore, and shouted hysterically into the microphone: "Ouyang Moqian, you are despicable!" Seeing this, Mai Rui knew that Ouyang had tapped Zhou Yican's acupoint, so he happily smiled at Zhou Yican, took the phone from her hand, and went out gracefully like a willow in the wind. Monday Charm fell heavily on the sofa. A long time after Mai Rui left, she was still in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.How could she have imagined that Ouyang had been plotting against her long before she plotted against Mai Rui.Ouyang's move is so cruel! As early as a year ago, when Zhou Yican went abroad on business and passed through Macau, Ouyang made a special trip from Hong Kong to accompany her on sightseeing.She has known Ouyang for two years. Ouyang has always been polite to her, respectful and enthusiastic. She also has a good impression of Ouyang, thinking that he is young, promising, and knows how to be considerate and take care of others.Zhou Yican likes to be with such young people, they can make her glow with youthful vitality.That time she couldn't stand Ouyang's enthusiasm, so she went to the casino to open her eyes. Ouyang insisted on her trying her luck, so she did.After only two attempts, Ouyang didn't say he lost or won, so he took her back to the hotel.It has been more than a year since this happened, and she had forgotten it long ago. Unexpectedly, Ouyang said on the phone just now: "Mayor Zhou, you don't need to pretend to be serious in front of me. If you haven't forgotten, the last time you were in Las Vegas , you lost three million in one fell swoop." three million!Zhou Yichan was about to suffocate. Zhou Yican finally understood that she had no way out.Maybe she should help Ouyang to complete the acquisition of Hehua Group first? Zhou Yican did not tell the truth to Qi Muran, and she lied to Qi Muran in front of Zhou Tieshan.Of course, this lie was very smooth, neither Qi Muran nor Zhou Tieshan could detect the flaw.She exaggerated Qiangwei's actions, and revealed a meaning to Qi Muran: the cooperation between Rhett and Hehua is already unstoppable, and with her strength, Qiangwei can't be done at all. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Qi Muran didn't blame her or give her any instructions, but turned his gaze to Zhou Tieshan: "You said on the phone that someone is checking Hehua, what's going on?" Zhou Tieshan answered, "Qiang Wei sent a working group to rummage through Hehua's accounts, saying that he would conduct a comprehensive audit of Hehua. I'm afraid..." "What are you afraid of?" Qi Muran had a strange expression this day, as if he was not in a hurry to hear anything, as if he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.His composure made Zhou Tieshan a little more uneasy.Originally, this news was picked up. Zhou Tieshan couldn't tell what the audit team sent by Qiang Wei was doing.He was in a hurry to see Qi Muran, but he was afraid that Qiangwei would make things happen, so that Hehua would never be able to eat this piece of fat. When Zhou Tieshan stood up, Qi Muran understood that Zhou Tieshan didn't know what Qiang Wei was doing, and a layer of disappointment appeared on his face unconsciously.He is very busy these days, mainly in liaison with high-level officials.It's a lot of work.According to reliable sources, the candidate for the secretary of the provincial party committee is still a mystery.The following news, he has heard very little recently.Originally, I hoped to find out more from their mouths, but after asking and asking, everything remained the same.He sighed in disappointment and said, "Let's eat." While eating, Qi Muran suddenly remembered another thing, looked up at Zhou Tieshan, and asked, "I heard you bought Qiangwei's car?" "I bought it. It cost 800,000 yuan to buy his car." Zhou Tieshan said proudly, as if he had done such a great thing. Qi Muran stared at Zhou Tieshan's face carefully for a while.He suddenly realized that this face was very hateful, it was simply shameless.He really doubted his own IQ, how could he get involved with such a person in the first place?How can you take the risk to bet on him?This is a face that can't see anything but greed, and it's a face that is so frivolous that it doesn't know how to be tall and thick! You dare to buy that car?You bought yourself 800,000 yuan to kill yourself!Do you think Qiang Wei is simple?He is not simple! He threw the chopsticks with a "snap" and couldn't eat any more. Zhou Tieshan is still intoxicated in the excitement of buying a car.When he came today, he took Qiangwei's car. Sitting in that car, he felt different.Seeing that Qi Muran threw away his chopsticks, he asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" "Toothache!" Qi Muran forced out two words from between his teeth. Yu Shuhong finally failed to convince Qiang Wei.Qiang Wei has made up his mind, no matter what Yu Shuhong says, he just refuses to waver. "How do you tell me to stop? This is more than 70 million, not 70,000, and not 700,000. They are so arrogant, so disregarding party discipline and state laws, tens of thousands of workers in Hehua Group can't pay wages, what about them? How can I respect such a leader by taking advantage of corporate restructuring, plundering wildly, and wantonly embezzling? I, Qiangwei, will be smashed to pieces, and I want to investigate it to the bottom. I don't believe it, but Qi Moran can cover up the sky!" Yu Shuhong fell silent.She understands Qiang Wei's character, and no one can stop him from doing what he insists on doing.When he discovered that Zhou Tieshan's motives for merging Hehua were not good, he was also under heavy pressure. Regardless of the opposition of many people, he insisted on messing up this merger case that attracted the attention of the whole province.This time, he was afraid that he would take a bigger risk. "Then... how are you going to investigate?" Yu Shuhong asked after a long while. "There is no plan at the moment. It is very difficult to investigate this matter in depth. What I worry about is power. To tell you the truth, I don't have many available people in my hands now." Qiang Wei said. Yu Shuhong thought for a while, and said: "Strength is one aspect, but more importantly, you have to be prepared to deal with it. There is no turning back when you start a bow. Once this matter is investigated, you will have no turning back." "I understand. In fact, I have made all the preparations since the day I sent the auditors into the factory." Qiang Wei's voice was very low, and it could be heard that he was really not sure about the next work, and the pressure he had to bear It is indeed very large. The two talked for a while, and Yu Shuhong suddenly said, "Why didn't you let Xu Shouren get involved? This matter needs to be investigated in depth, and the police are indispensable." "Him?" Qiang Wei was a little surprised, staring at Yu Shuhong blankly. "Why, are you worried about him?" Qiang Wei nodded.He never hides anything from Yu Shuhong. "Old Qiang, your problem is not good. You are suspicious of everyone, and you are not at ease with anyone. In fact, some people are not as scary as you think. If necessary, you can let them go. If you rely on yourself alone, you will survive the day." It's impossible to do everything with my ability." Yu Shuhong said earnestly. Qiang Wei doesn't seem to appreciate Yu Shuhong's affection.He was thinking, why did Yu Shuhong mention Xu Shouren?Shouldn't he be suspicious of Xu Shouren?Seeing his silence, Yu Shuhong smiled slightly without explaining too much.She has already recommended it, whether to use it or not is Qiangwei's business, and it is not good for her to interfere.After the meal, she took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Qiang Wei: "If you need help from the Ministry of Finance, go to him, and he will help you." Qiang Wei took a look. The person on the business card was Li Yuan, Director of the Second Division of Economic Investigation of the Provincial Public Security Bureau.这人强伟听说过，但从没接触过。 回到河阳，张局长他们已等在办公室里。强伟是在路上打电话让秘书通知的，要他们在办公室等他。张局长说：“广告部原部长孙宏民目前还在河化，担任集团公司办公室主任。设备部原部长老陈两年前已离开河化，据我们了解，此人目前在银州做生意，搞的还是老本行。另外两名当事人，暂时还查不到下落。” 让张局长查当事人的下落，也是强伟的主意。他打算从这些人身上下手，打开缺口，然后顺藤摸瓜，引出更大的鱼来。 强伟将目光转向市公安局经侦支队支队长何正平：“怎么样正平，能不能想个法子，先把孙宏民收审了？相信他嘴里，一定还有秘密。” 何正平沉默了一阵儿。关于河化这两起大案，他也是昨晚才听说的。昨晚，审计局张局长到他家拜访，说是奉强书记命令，前去给他汇报案子。当时他还有点不信，强书记怎么会想到他一个小小的支队长呢？等听完，他就再也不敢有疑惑了，不只如此，对发生在河化集团的这几起国有资产侵吞案，他更是震惊得不敢相信。七千多万！这可赶得上河阳公安局十年来办过的经济案标底的总和了。这阵儿，他心里还是“扑通扑通”的，一想到将要投入到一场特大经济案的侦破中，他心里就有一股止不住的冲动。 “强书记你放心，河化集团这些年签的广告合同很多，我们会找一个合理的理由，对孙宏民展开调查。” “调查一定要迅速，但同时要做到符合法律程序，绝不能在这上面出问题。”强伟要求道。见几个人点头，强伟进一步说：“另外，立即对原二轻系统东阳化工厂厂长展开调查。我不相信，他会一点好处也不得，只要他拿过一分钱，就是同谋。眼下我们虽不能对李敏等人采取措施，但完全可以从这些人身上查起。相信查到一定时候，李敏等人就会自己跳出来。” 张局长默默点头。年轻的何正平早已跃跃欲试了。 布置完河化方面的工作，强伟又急着跟许艳容联系。许艳容到公安局上任，强伟还没来得及向她表示祝贺呢。他想，不管怎样，祝贺的话还是要说的。而且，他也急着想知道小奎一案的进展。电话打通后，许艳容说不在河阳，正在搞外调呢。强伟说：“刚上任就跑外调，你也心太急了吧？”许艳容说：“不是我心急，是案子急。小奎案如果再拖下去，怕是有人又要炸我的办公室了。”强伟一听，笑了，说：“你就不能说点好听的？干吗老往坏处想？”许艳容也笑了一声：“我得对得起提拔我的人啊。要不然，我这个争来的官，干不了三天，就得下台。” 强伟理解她的心情，也很想说句宽慰的话，可话一出口，却又变成了命令：“外调回来马上来见我！你那边急，我这边也不轻松。”许艳容“嗯”了一声，挂了电话。听声音她好像在车上。 搁下电话还没三分钟，门被敲响了。强伟说了声“进来”，抬头一看，进来的竟是市公安局局长徐守仁。徐守仁后面，跟着两个强伟不认识的警察。 强伟请他们坐下，心里想：莫非余书红跟徐守仁说了什么？要不然他咋来得这么快？正乱猜着，就听徐守仁说：“强书记，有重要情况向你汇报。” Qiang Wei let out an "oh".他见徐守仁的脸色不大好，人也显得很急，心想，八成是乔国栋这边有了啥事。他一直想抽个空儿，跟乔国栋谈谈，他知道老乔心里有疙瘩，说不定还在恨他呢，但总也挤不出时间。 “说吧。”他冲徐守仁说了一声。 “老奎这案子疑点很多。调查中我们发现，他的死亡跟人大乔主任关系不是太大，乔主任很可能是被冤枉的。” “冤枉？”强伟不由浑身一颤。徐守仁用的这个词，显然刺痛了他。“说下去。”他点了支烟，抽了起来。 徐守仁接着说：“老奎的死很可能是一场阴谋——有人想借这件事，嫁祸给乔主任。” “你别用这种模糊语言好不好？既然查出疑点，就说出来。”强伟不满道。 徐守仁略一犹豫，道：“那好吧，我就把查到的情况先作个汇报好了。老奎的案子我作了两手准备，一是派人配合人大陈副主任，由他按照省市的统一部署去查，但到现在，那边也没查出什么有价值的线索。另外，我让刑侦二队的同志们去查，事先给了他们几个疑点，要他们务必从这几个疑点入手，寻找突破口。就在昨天，刑侦二队的同志终于从一个叫马三的男人口中获得重要线索。目前初步断定，老奎是被宋铜几个害死的，其目的，一是想彻底平息掉小奎死亡案，让这件案子成为死案；二是嫁祸乔主任，公报私仇。” 强伟对徐守仁的汇报略有不满，嫌他嗦。这种事儿，挑重点说嘛，别这么婆婆妈妈的，先讲上一大堆，让人搞不清你到底想说啥。但案子有重大突破，他还是很兴奋。他本来就不相信是老乔害死了老奎。他认为这很荒唐。这段日子他所以不过问此案，就是想看看陈木船等人到底想把案子引向哪里。既然徐守仁已经提前一步，将他的计划付诸实施了，也省得他再作安排了。 “这个马三是什么人？”他问。 “马三是一个赌徒，总跟老虎几个一起打牌。”一同来的刑侦二队的同志补充道。 “能肯定是宋铜做的？” “目前还不能。但马三说，宋铜跟老虎几个交代过，要他们把事情做细点，别毛毛躁躁，留下啥脚印。” "footprint?" “是他们的行话，意思是事情做干净点，别让人抓到把柄。” “仅凭马三几句话，你们就敢作这样的推论？”强伟的目光越过刑侦二队两位同志的脸，重又回到徐守仁身上。 徐守仁说：“马三的话只是个旁证。目前已经查明，老奎自杀用的杯子是老虎从接待室拿进去的，凭这点，就可以排除掉乔主任涉案的可能。还有，在对燕子楼包房客人的调查中，有人指证，老虎几个对老奎有虐待行为，好几个晚上，老奎房里都传出了喊叫声。老奎自杀那天，老板娘燕子刻意将二楼一位长住客人换到了三楼。这些事件联系起来，基本可以断定：老奎不是自杀，而是被老虎几个害死的。” “到底是自杀还是他杀？”强伟越发不满了。徐守仁一会儿说老奎是自杀，一会儿又说老奎是被害死的，到底让他听哪个？ “他杀！”徐守仁重重地说。 “证据呢？我要证据！”强伟加重了语气。 “想要证据，就得依法收审宋铜。”徐守仁好像又跟强伟较上劲儿了。他本来是想把案子汇报得细点，让强伟能听得更明白，谁知越汇报越乱，他自己都觉得别扭。 “那还磨蹭什么？依法办事，这是原则。”强伟说。 徐守仁犹豫了，其实他今天来的目的，就是想请示强伟，能不能对宋铜采取措施，毕竟，宋铜是前任市委书记、市人大主任宋老爷子的儿子啊。 “怎么？一遇到有背景的人，你们就怕了，缩手缩脚了？”强伟故意拿话刺激徐守仁。徐守仁想让他表态，他偏就不表这个态。他倒要看看，徐守仁敢不敢越这个雷区？ 徐守仁又犹豫了一阵儿，起身道：“强书记，我汇报完了，下一步，我会依法办案的。”说完，带上两位警察，走了。 望着徐守仁离去的身影，强伟忽然想：自己今天是不是有点过分了？都说徐守仁对乔国栋有意见，对他强伟也有意见，怎么今儿个，他硬没感觉出来呢？ 强伟所说的“意见”，就是提拔徐守仁当局长时市里面曾经有过争论。当时一派意见认为，徐守仁踏实能干，忠于职守，能胜任公安工作。另一派意见却认为，徐守仁保守，思想老化，无法带领广大警员为改革开放保驾护航。两派意见争论得很热闹，徐守仁的任职一拖再拖。后来在市委常委会上倒是通过了，可到了人大，乔国栋那边却又迟迟不作任命。强伟不好干预人大的工作，毕竟各部门一把手最终能否任命，还要看人大的表决结果。半个月后，他听到传闻，说是乔国栋想拿徐守仁跟他较劲儿，因为他乔国栋想提的人没提起来。就在他打算找乔国栋谈话的当天，徐守仁突然来到他的办公室，要求离开公安系统，去别的部门工作。那次他狠批了徐守仁一顿。徐守仁起先一声不吭，等强伟批完了，才气冲冲地说：“我不想成为你们斗争的工具。既然你们觉得我不合适，就不应该跟我谈话，更不应该将我提到常委会上。” 强伟怒了：“谁拿你当斗争工具了？你自己不过硬，还要怪别人，就凭你说的这几句话，就证明你思想认识有问题！” “不是工具是什么？强书记，你去下面听听，我徐守仁现在成什么了？有说我是你的人的，有说我是乔主任的人的。我徐守仁虽然不才，但也绝不会因为一顶局长的帽子就把自己卖给谁！” “老徐，你太过分了！” “我是过分，可更过分的是你们。你们啥时候真心为下面的同志着想过？啥时候又切切实实从工作角度出发过？干部提拔，对下而言是民主考评，是竞争上岗；对上呢，最终还不都是任人唯亲！”徐守仁那天是豁出去了，他后来说话的口气真是有点疯。 徐守仁最终还是通过了人大的表决，但这件事，却在强伟和乔国栋心里，都留下了阴影。到现在，强伟对他那番话，还是心有余悸。 但他也承认，徐守仁那番话，还是道出了干部提拔与任命中的症结。 就连强伟自己也不敢保证，他在河阳这六年，就没提拔过不该提拔的人，没犯过任人唯亲的错误。包括宋铜，包括左威，都是他碍于宋老爷子的面子，默许下面提拔重用的。 伤疤捂在心里，他还愣是不让人揭，这样下去可不行啊！这一天的强伟，算是自己对自己开展了一场批评。 后来他拿起电话，打到乔国栋家里，没想接电话的却是乔小川。一听是他，乔小川恶狠狠说了声：“我爸不在！”就将电话压了。 宋铜逃跑了！ 离开强伟办公室后，徐守仁怒冲冲回到公安局。他是在生自己的气，也是在生强伟的气。他原本想寻求强伟的支持，哪知强伟也会跟他打官腔，说官话。啥时候，这些顶头上司们说话能透明点，能直白点，不要再跟手下们打哑谜啊？他这么想着，冲刑侦二队陆队长说：“马上收审宋铜几个，行动要快！”陆队长刚一犹豫，徐守仁就发了火：“怎么？你们也怕了是不？立即采取措施，出了问题我徐守仁一个人担着！” “是！”陆队敬了个礼，转身就往外走。徐守仁又在后面说：“同时跟许艳容那边取得联系，立即传唤招待所老板苏燕子！” 陆队带着人，以迅雷不及掩耳之势，直扑宋铜的办公室。办公室没人，值班民警告诉他，宋铜几个去了华都宾馆，半小时前接到报案，说有人在华都宾馆贩卖摇头丸。他们又火速赶往华都宾馆，在一间套房里，老虎几个刚刚坐上牌桌，就被铐上了手铐。但是没发现宋铜，搜遍了宾馆，也不见宋铜的影子，那个姓江的警察也不在。 “宋铜呢？”陆队问老虎。 老虎龇牙咧嘴笑了笑，道：“不知道。” “老虎，你涉嫌虐待致死在押嫌疑人老奎，聪明的话，就说出宋铜的去向。人命关天，你不可能自己扛着吧？” “你吓唬谁啊？姓陆的，这手铐你能戴上去，就怕取不了，到时候让你哭都来不及。”老虎的气焰极为嚣张。 “我压根儿就没想取下来！”陆队拍了下桌子，警告道，“你如果再不说出宋铜的下落，将来只会罪加一等。” “少跟我嗦！你凭什么抓我？姓陆的，我让你吃不了兜着走！” “带下去！”陆队没时间跟他熬。宋铜会不会提前听到风声，跑了？ 半小时后，前往宋家搜捕的人员回来了。宋铜家没人，他老爷子那边，也不见他的踪影。 “一组去电信局，查他的通话纪录，看半小时前他跟谁联系过。另一组立刻上高速公路，命令沿线各检查站，发现他的车，立即扣留。” 陆队刚说完，有个警员便凑到他耳边，低声道：“陆队，宋老爷子大发雷霆哩。” “他发？我还没冲他发呢！”陆队说完，就急着去见徐守仁。来到徐守仁办公室，见徐局正在接电话。从表情判断，来电话的一定是宋老爷子。果然，接完电话，徐守仁就发起了火：“什么东西！在河阳当了多少年太上皇，当得都不知天高地厚了，还真以为自己是老虎屁股摸不得了！” 等听完汇报，徐守仁就有些傻眼了：“不可能啊！这么短的时间，他不可能听到消息啊！” 两天后，陆队他们还是没查到宋铜的去向。至此，徐守仁才确信：宋铜真的是闻风而逃了！ 许艳容这边，也取得了重大突破。许艳容外调，正是去了新疆，她想进一步获得林芳的证词，同时也想查明小奎这些年在新疆到底做了什么？当初小奎跟媳妇酸果儿离婚，许艳容依法调查过小奎的家庭财产，证实小奎有六万多元的银行存款，这钱是小奎夫妇俩养猪得来的。法庭判决时，依法判给酸果儿三万五千元，加上孩子的抚养费，小奎应该一次性向酸果儿支付人民币五万八千二百多元。后来由于这钱落实不了，酸果儿俩娘才闹到了法院，迫于无奈，此案才转到执行庭强制执行。 许艳容不虚此行，不但从新疆一家农场查到小奎跟人合伙买地的事，还从合伙人那儿得知，王军跟马虎到新疆执行案件时，小奎曾给过马虎一万二千元，是从买地款里给的。马虎跟王军并没立即带走小奎，要小奎想办法凑齐六万元，说交了钱他们就可以不带走小奎。一周后，小奎又将借来的一万元交到马虎手里，说只有这么多了，他买了地，把钱全都投了进去，实在拿不出更多的，请求法院再宽限一段时日，他一弄到钱，就马上寄来。马虎拿了钱，笑哈哈说：“行啊小奎，有你这个态度，我们就放心了。这次先不带你回去，下次我们来时，如果拿不到剩下的钱，就别怪法律无情了。” 谁知第二天晚上，小奎跟合伙人刚刚吃完饭，一辆警车开来，不容分说就带走了小奎。 马虎跟王军先后两次从小奎手里拿了共计两万两千元执行款，但从小奎死到今天，他们也没向法院提起过这事。倒是小奎死后，两个人拿着医院出具的五千多元的医疗费还有一千多元的尸体看管费，多次找酸果儿讨要，结果逼得酸果儿悲伤绝望，投井自杀！ 许艳容还从林芳那儿了解到，那天在列车上，小奎受不了折磨，跑出来跪在过道里喊她救命时，好像提到过钱的事。林芳还说，马虎跟王军匆匆下车后，她在打扫卫生时捡到一个饮料瓶，里面装的居然是尿。可见，他们一路上是怎么折磨小奎的！ 周涛这边也有收获。周涛不愧是周涛，他巧借王军嫖娼这件事，准确地拿捏了王军的心理。王军结婚不久，妻子在河阳教育学院当教师，无论家庭出身还是本人条件，都要比王军强。王军最怕嫖娼的事传到妻子耳朵里。周涛虚晃一枪，说再不交代就要通知家属前来领人了，硬是撬开了王军的嘴巴。王军承认，两万多的执行款是他们拿的，事后全部交给了左威。他跟马虎心里不服气，这才拿着医院的发票去找酸果儿要钱的。王军还顺便交代出，这一年多时间，他跟马虎先后交到左威手里的执行款，不下四十万。左威说是先存放在单位小金库里，等这些案件了结了，再跟大家分红。对列车上虐待小奎一事，王军却一口否认，还是坚持他原来的说法，小奎是由于心脏病突发死去的。 听完汇报，许艳容说：“王军是想把左威咬出来，心想有了这棵大树，他们都能安然无恙。小奎的事他当然不肯轻易承认，殴打致死人命，那是要吃枪子的，王军这点脑子还是有的。” “接下来怎么办？”周涛请示道。 “这还用我说？”许艳容笑着反问。 周涛马上会意：“我这就办手续，争取第一时间控制左威。” 时间已到了半夜，左威家里，却是一团糟乱。 宋梅真是气得要跳楼了。这些天她为了丈夫左威的事，跟弟弟宋铜两个东奔西跑，不但要挨老爷子的骂，还要厚着一张丑脸去求那些她本不想求的人。就在这节骨眼儿上，左威这畜牲，竟然还有心思跟野女人鬼混！ 下午宋梅是在娘家吃的饭。弟弟宋铜一出事，这个家突然就乱得一塌糊涂。老爷子暴跳如雷，见谁骂谁，骂声能把楼顶掀破。母亲打电话，让她过去劝劝老爷子。宋梅刚进门，老爷子就指着她鼻子骂：“跑来做什么？看我笑话是不是？回去告诉你家姓左的，他做的事别以为人家不知道，下一个，就该轮到他了！” 宋梅赶忙安抚老爷子：“爸，你别气坏了身子，不就这么点小事嘛，看把你气的。放心，啥事都会过去的。” “放心？你让我怎么放心？一个跑了，一个马上又要被抓了，我辛辛苦苦干一辈子，图个啥？还不是为了你们？你们倒好，一个个净干些没屁眼的事。还让我放心，我这心都快要急烂了！” 见老爷子骂个没完，母亲悄悄拉她进了厨房，小声说：“铜儿没跑，他就在河阳。” “啊？”宋梅吃了一惊，她还以为弟弟真逃走了。母亲又说：“先不要跟你爸说，他这个人，一激动啥都做得出来。有空你去看看铜儿，让他留点神，这阵儿先不要出来，就蹲在陈主任家。我正跟你大弟弟商量哩，让他跟省上说一声，不信他姓强的真敢把铜儿抓进去。” 宋梅安抚了一阵老爷子，不见效果，硬着头皮吃完饭，碗一搁就去了陈木船家。按母亲的说法，这一次幸亏陈木船帮忙，要不是他提前听到消息，打电话将宋铜叫到他家，怕是这阵儿，宋铜早已落到强伟手里了。 来到陈木船家，宋梅先是说了一堆客气话。陈木船笑着说：“一家人不说两家话。老爷子对我有恩，我陈木船不是那种知恩不报的人。”宋梅的鼻子一下就酸了，想想，从老爷子下台到现在，多少张热脸冷了，那些当初从老爷子手里得过实惠的人，那些靠了老爷子的提携爬上去的人，如今在街上见了，都恨不得躲着走。这些天宋家接二连三出事，还不知有多少人幸灾乐祸哩。她感激地说：“陈主任，你的大恩大德，我宋梅记住了。等我大弟回来，我一定跟他说，你对宋家的恩，宋家一定会加倍报答。”陈木船道：“大妹子客气了，咱先不说这个。现在关键是想办法，把眼前的事对付过去。”宋梅“嗯”了一声，就去卧室看宋铜。 宋铜躺在床上，抽着烟，正乐滋滋看电视哩。他这副悠然自得的样子，哪像个命案在身的人？宋梅不由叹了一口气。这些年，她没少提醒过这个弟弟，劝他为人低调点，工作认真点，别像以前那样，啥都靠着老爷子，该到他自己为自己打算的时候了。可宋铜哪听得进去啊！有时候她想：宋铜跟左威，真像一对亲兄弟！ 看见姐姐，宋铜懒洋洋地起身，问：“你怎么来了？” “我怎么来了？”宋梅忍不住就发起了火，“你惹了祸，自己倒逍遥自在。爸和妈都急死了，你倒好，还有心思看电视。” “不看电视干啥？又不能出去转。”宋铜嘟囔道。 “你还想着转？你去外面听听，风声有多紧！强伟现在恨不得挖地三尺，把你给挖出来呢。” “姓强的他是活腻歪了，逼急了，老子把他一家做掉。” “敢！你都三十好几的人了，说话怎么还跟孩子似的。”宋梅真是要让这个不争气的弟弟给气死了，但眼下，她又不能说得太狠，便简单数落了几句，又叮嘱他一番，要他安安分分呆在陈主任家，哪儿也甭去，她和爸妈正在想办法呢。 “我哥呢？他不能见死不救吧？”宋铜忽然问。 “这时候想起你哥了，你干那些事的时候呢？” “我干什么了？我什么也没干！”宋铜吼道。 陈木船递个眼色，示意宋梅别说了。宋梅会意地走出来。陈木船道：“这边你放心，他暂
