Chapter 4 Chapter 4 The Scared Bird
As soon as he received the news that Li Xinran was under shuanggui, Wu Dagong couldn't lie down anymore, he grabbed the phone and called his wife.Tang Ping did not immediately answer his question.The usually resourceful and unflappable woman seemed a little panicked.She pondered for a moment, and said, "Why are you panicking, the matter hasn't reached the step you thought." "Then why did Li Xinran go in?" "It's his business to go in, what has it to do with you." Tang Ping hated One sentence, and then said, "Da Gong, how can you rest assured that you look like this?" "Relax? Can you talk about reassurance now?" It's disappointing me more and more." Hearing Tang Ping's tone, Wu Dagong lost all confidence, he said: "No, I can't just sit and wait like this, I want to go back, I have to go back." "Back?" Tang Ping smiled wryly. He said, "You come back now, and you still expect them to welcome you?" After a while, Tang Ping sighed again, "This Machiming has a lot of background, we underestimated him." "Then what should I do, I can't sit still." wait?!"
Wu Dagong's panic irritated Tang Ping again. What she hated the most was that men could not stand still at critical moments and messed up their own positions. This was the reason why she would rather make things more passive than let Wu Dagong go back to Sanhe.For her husband, Tang Ping is very clear, if there is no wind and waves on weekdays, her husband looks like a dog, it really looks like that; if there is a wind blowing early, he will be like a headless fly. Dare to touch it.Last time, if she hadn't planned carefully and carefully set up traps to make Che Guangyuan stumble, Wu Dagong and his gang would have become prisoners long ago.Thinking of this, Tang Ping's heart darkened.After a long time, she said: "You know best what you do next, you should think about whether you should come back or not."
After closing the phone, Tang Ping suddenly found her father standing behind her.
Tang Ping was startled a few times.Father Tang Zhengye's expression changed, he turned and left with great difficulty without saying a word.
Tang Ping took a few breaths of air-conditioning. She knew that her father had listened to every word of the phone call with her husband just now. What a terrible thing it was!
Tang Ping rushed to the provincial capital from Sanhe after receiving a phone call from her father. His father said on the phone that he was not feeling well recently and hoped that his daughter could come to accompany him for a few days.Tang Ping has been here for the past few days, but she didn't find any discomfort in her father, but his eyes became more and more gloomy, and his communication with her became less and less.Did father hear something?Or... Tang Ping didn't dare to think about it, her father's abnormality made her fall into deeper anxiety.
Tang Ping's father was also an old public security officer, and his qualifications were slightly older than Yuan Bo's.
Many years ago, my father and Yuan Bo were the deputy chiefs of the Public Security Department of Sanhe District, and my father was also the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade.Once, two vicious prison escapees hijacked a highway bus, forced the driver and passengers into a small gas station, and threatened to leave Sanhe in their father's police car, otherwise, the hostages and the gas station would be reimbursed.The father was not chaotic in the face of danger, and skillfully dealt with the gangsters. It was getting dark, and the father thought that as long as he persisted until dark, he would have a way to rescue the hostages.At this time, something unexpected happened. A woman in labor was sitting in the bus. Because of her fright, she gave birth prematurely and bled all over the bus.The people in the car called his father's name loudly, asking him to save the mother and child.Yuan Bo rushed to the reinforcements and said, "You disguise yourself as a doctor and sneak in. Remember, you must not act indiscriminately without my order. Your task is to rescue the mother and child." go.In the following time, every second can make people suffocate.The father took advantage of the gangster's time to check the identity of the medical staff, and touched it alone. When he was about to approach the bus, an accident happened.
It was Yuan Bo who exposed himself!He actually made a mistake in his busy schedule and wore the shirt with the police badge inside.The gangster tore off the police badge and stared at Yuan Bo.With this stare, the criminals recognized Yuan Bo, who sent him to prison three years ago.The gangster screamed in excitement, unexpectedly, the enemy would come to his door automatically.He twisted Yuan Bo's neck, and pressed the cold dagger against Yuan Bo's throat.The father was so annoyed that he cursed repeatedly under the car: How could he make such a mistake?In the dim night, my father clearly saw the gangster's dagger slowly slashing across Yuan Bo's neck, and bright red blood flowed out.Father couldn't hesitate anymore, a little hesitation would cost him a good brother and comrade.He yelled and rushed towards the gangster.Although his father subdued the gangster and rescued Yuan Bo, what happened afterwards shook the entire Sanhe.Another gangster who escaped was frantic and blew up the gas station in despair.
That was the darkest day in the minds of Sanhe people, and it was the most thrilling moment in the history of Sanhe: the sound of explosions rang out, and the flames soared into the sky.Despite the best efforts of the police and the reinforcements, 21 lives were swallowed by the ruthless fire snake, including the mother and child.
Compared with that sudden disaster, what happened next hurt Tang Ping's young heart in an abnormally deformed way.His father was dismissed for review, and soon after, he was thrown into prison for dereliction of duty and major public safety accidents.Tang Ping, who was in college, was running around, trying to use her calling to give her father some hope, but it was a pity that her calling was so weak.Father was sentenced to fifteen years!
Afterwards, Tang Ping learned that her father was involved in a war, which was bloody but far more terrifying than bloody.My father was a prickly person in the Public Security Bureau, and he didn't give face to his immediate boss in many things. The boss had long wanted to get rid of him, so as not to cause trouble in the future.Now there is a chance.My father didn't dispute this at all, and even refused to appeal.He just repeated a sentence; "I was too careless and killed so many people. I am guilty, I am guilty." His father's hair fell out within a few days, and his eyebrows began to fall off. It made my daughter unbearable to witness.
On the contrary, Yuan Bo was regarded as a hero. During the days when his father was struggling in prison, Yuan Bo's heroic deeds were widely spread.A year later, Yuan Bo was promoted, and he went on a smooth journey until he reached the peak of power in Sanhe City.
Since then, Tang Ping has realized a truth: power can change everything, and power can destroy everything.In the face of power, there is no truth.
Tang Ping secretly gritted her teeth. In this life, she will use her own way to turn power into a servant girl for her to teach!
For this reason, she made every effort to marry Wu Dagong who was not favored by people, and then helped him step by step to the mountainside of power.Now, Wu Dagong's footsteps are blocked, and if he fails, he may roll down the mountainside and fall into the abyss.Tang Ping looked at the bright sun on the top of the mountain, and the endless and stunning scenery on the hillside. That was the goal she had painstakingly pursued in her life, how could she give up on it!
She must help her husband out of danger and help him to a higher mountain!
After an unknown amount of time, the father came out of the bedroom again. Seeing his daughter still standing there, trembling, he couldn't help feeling a pity for him. He walked over gently and hugged his daughter's shoulders.
Tang Ping's body moved under her father's palm. Ever since she married Wu Dagong, her relationship with her father had deteriorated day by day. For a long time, the father and daughter could hardly find anything to say.Tang Ping knew that her father had a prejudice against Wu Dagong, and his father never seemed to admit it to this son-in-law. As Wu Dagong entered the power circle, his father's heartache towards him became more and more serious.But how did he know that most of the reason why Wu Dagong is today is due to his daughter's hard work!
But how could she mention these words to her father?After suffering that blow, my father seemed to have a more thorough and pessimistic view of power and life, and my father became another person.Right now, she really wanted to snuggle into her father's arms and express her inner depression, anxiety, anger and hatred to him.
This night, the father and daughter finally had a rare conversation. Although Tang Ping dodged and didn't say the most important thing, Tang Zhengye still sensitively grasped his daughter's mind.
what to do?After finishing the conversation, Tang Zhengye fell into great confusion. He is such a daughter. Could it be that he can't save her?But how?
Over the years, my daughter has been running on another road, a road full of reefs and mudslides.How much Tang Zhengye hoped that his daughter's footsteps could stop. It was a dangerous road, a road leading to death.However, he knew that the willful daughter, the stubborn daughter, the daughter who would never admit defeat, she would never stop.
At dawn, Tang Zhengye finally made a decision. He wanted to talk to his son-in-law Wu Dagong in person, and he had to talk.He couldn't just watch his daughter jump into the fire pit with him, on the road to death.The moment he raised his hand and knocked on his daughter's room, he suddenly heard her daughter talking on the phone. Tang Zhengye heard a few words, his head buzzed, and he almost fell down.
What he was worried about finally happened.
My daughter is desperate, and she really plans to fight it out!
The work of approaching Zhou Cuihua has made gratifying progress.Wang Xue, a policewoman drawn from the grassroots police station in Wushui County, reported that she has gained Zhou Cuihua's complete trust and is now called a sister.However, Zhou Cuihua still didn't tell the truth, and lied that her man, Li Sanman, was in his hometown, and said that he broke his leg on the construction site and couldn't do heavy work, and that the food and clothing at home depended on her.According to Wang Xue's investigation, Zhou Cuihua has a friend who is Tong Baishan's in-law, and Tong Baishan calls him the third uncle.This third uncle is currently the supervisor of the Tongbaishan construction site material yard, responsible for all the incoming materials for Tongbaishan's large and small construction sites.This person is in his fifties, his wife died a few years ago, his children are all out of town, and he lived alone in the stockyard.Zhou Cuihua called her third uncle on the lips, but she was no different from husband and wife in private.All expenses for food and clothing are provided by this third uncle.Wang Xue had seen this third uncle before. He squinted his eyes, had a problem with his left leg, limped when he walked, and looked very dishonest.
"What about the specific case, how much do you know?" Qin Mo couldn't help asking.He doesn't like the endless reporting of subordinates.Wang Xue pursed her lips in embarrassment, and said: "Zhou Cuihua has a son who is studying in middle school in the provincial capital. I heard that it is a noble school, all boarding, but Zhou Cuihua can't easily see him. Her son seems to be controlled by the third uncle. .”
"Oh?" Qin Mo pricked up his ears alertly.This news is too important, how could the son of a migrant worker be able to afford a noble school?Could it be...
"Start with her son and encourage her to visit him. In addition, pay close attention to this third uncle to see how he has connections with the outside world." Qin Mo ordered.Wang Xue took the order to leave. She is now a laid-off female worker selling bean sprouts, and she specializes in supplying bean sprouts to Tong Baishan's construction site cafeteria.
The comrades who went to the farm on the edge of the desert to investigate also made a breakthrough. This farm was nominally owned by a local farmer. After careful inspection, the so-called farmer did not exist at all. name.The shepherd named Yang Si was Zhou Shengjun. The policeman disguised as a sheep dealer provoked an incident during the process of buying sheep. He fought with Yang Si, broke his face, and cleverly extracted him. The blood sample was analyzed, and it was the same as the blood sample taken in the wounding case a few years ago.So far, the case of stealing someone to pay for the crime can basically be characterized.However, the police officer in charge of investigating the case also said: "During the secret reconnaissance of the farm, it was discovered that several suspicious-looking people came to visit Yang Si on a regular basis. Hard to say."
"Have you checked the sheep carts that go in and out?"
"I checked once and found nothing."
"Check again and report any situation you find."
A few days later, Qin Mo got a report that there was likely to be a drug trade in the desert farm.
"What?" Qin Mo startled himself.In recent years, drug crimes in Sanhe City have become more and more rampant. Although the police have severely cracked down on them several times, the arrogance of criminals has also bowed their heads for a while.However, the drug trade is still rampant in secret, its methods are becoming more and more subtle, and criminals are becoming more and more cunning.A few days ago, a large amount of ecstasy was found in a surprise search of several entertainment venues.In the old residential areas around Dongguan, there are also new white powder transactions secretly appearing.The suspects initially suspected are all Muslims. They usually use sheep trafficking as a cover, and their whereabouts are very secretive.Everyone suspects that there is a secret drug transfer station in Sanhe City, but no clues can be found.
"Impossible." Qin Mo immediately shook his head, "A dignified leader of the municipal party committee, no matter how confused he is, can't do such a mindless thing." But he still said, "Strictly monitor the desert farm, and monitor all who enter and exit , until their true identity is clarified."
Afterwards, Qin Mo reported this important situation to Ma Qiming.After hearing this, Ma Qiming said calmly, "Do you think this is possible?" Qin Mo shook his head.Ma Qiming said: "When it comes to important clues related to the main leaders, we must be cautious, especially pay attention to grasping the scale, and we must not expand the clues arbitrarily, which is not good for the stability of Sanhe City." Qin Mo wants to say something else, Ma Qiming Said: "You arrange your work. We will go to Wushui in the afternoon. In the morning, I received news that Li Xinran almost committed suicide and is now being rescued in the hospital."
"What happened?" Qin Mo became angry when he got excited.
Ma Qiming said: "Someone gave Li Xinran cigarettes, but the comrades in the procuratorate didn't pay attention, and the cigarettes were poisonous."
"Isn't this trying to silence you?" Qin Mo was even more disturbed.
"It's not sure yet, we'll study it when we go."
In Wushui County People's Hospital, the medical staff were in a hurry.Li Xinran, deputy secretary of the county party committee, discovered the abnormality at 10 am. According to Cheng Mingjie, the deputy director of the city's anti-corruption bureau who was in charge of the case, Li Xinran asked to smoke, and he agreed.The investigators brought him a pack of soft China from the cigarettes sent by his relatives and friends. Li Xinran asked Cheng Mingjie if he wanted one too, and Cheng Mingjie said he didn't smoke.Li Xinran ordered one by herself and smoked it leisurely.While breathing, he chatted with Cheng Mingjie: "When I was the principal of No. 1 Middle School, were you in the first year of high school?" Cheng Mingjie nodded and said yes.At that time, he was really a student of Wushui No. 1 Middle School, and Cheng Mingjie had a deep memory of this principal.His three years in middle school were exactly the three years when Li Xinran and Liu Yuying had a heated fight. There were all kinds of rumors, but as a student, it was just hearsay.Li Xinran chatted with Cheng Mingjie, as if he had gone to the personnel bureau to ask for Cheng Mingjie, in short, he just wanted to ease the atmosphere and prevent Cheng Mingjie from treating him as a prisoner.It is very uncomfortable to be a leader who is used to being suddenly seen as a prisoner.
A few minutes after finishing the cigarette, Li Xinran suddenly yelled that he felt uncomfortable, and immediately foamed at the mouth.Cheng Mingjie immediately called 120, and at the same time urgently reported the situation to the relevant leaders of the municipal party committee.According to the hospital's preliminary diagnosis, Li Xinran was poisoned by a kind of grass called chinensis. This kind of grass grows in the depths of the desert. It used to be plentiful, but now it is very rare.Even the inhabitants of the desert rarely see it.If a sheep eats this kind of grass, it will vomit water and die in half an hour. Even if a camel eats it, it will not be able to resist it for half a day.I didn't expect such a rare thing to be mixed into the shredded tobacco of Zhonghua Tobacco.
Fortunately, it was delivered in time. After emergency treatment, Li Xinran was out of danger, but she was still in a coma and did not wake up.
"Have you found out the source of the smoke?" Ma Qiming asked.
"This... this... I can't find out for a while. There are too many people who donate cigarettes these days. We all know that Li Xinran likes to smoke, and most of them give to Zhonghua." Cheng Mingjie was a little struggling to speak.
"You didn't register?"
"No, this kind of thing is usually not registered." Cheng Mingjie paused, and then explained, "The one who delivered the cigarettes was either the leader or... the leader said hello."
"Confused! If you smoke this cigarette, who is to blame if something happens?" Ma Qiming couldn't get angry. This kind of thing is commonplace at the moment. When people come in, gifts follow, and nothing can stop him .Of course, individual case investigators took advantage of the fire to rob, wishing that famous cigarettes and famous teas would pour in like flowing water.This is the so-called relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, and relying on the case to eat the case.
Ma Qiming severely criticized Cheng Mingjie and the others for their lax style of work, and demanded an immediate investigation of the smokers to find out the source of the poisonous weeds.At the same time, he emphasized that starting today, no one will be allowed to visit without strict approval.
Famous Jie Hong also put on a face, nodding in agreement.
Coming out of the hospital, Qin Mo said with a heavy heart: "Secretary Ma, this place doesn't look safe, why don't you change Li Xinran to another place?"
"Where to change?" This is exactly what Ma Qiming was thinking about, but Sanhe City is so big, it's still on the territory of Sanhe, and Xiao Si'er is so hidden that they can find it, not to mention that Li Xinran is currently only a shuanggui, It's really hard to keep it a secret.
Ma Qiming asked Secretary Yuan Bo for instructions on the phone. Secretary Yuan Bo said that people should still stay in Wushui, but you can strengthen measures.
There were various indications that the opponent had lost his footing and started to counterattack Machiming and the others.This is very good, Ma Qiming is waiting for this, if the other party ignores it, it will be difficult to be exposed, and the next step will be more difficult.As long as the opponent jumps, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not show his feet.
Up to now, Ma Qiming and Qin Mo still can't reach an agreement on how powerful and how deep the opponent is.Qin Mo stubbornly believes that the opponent's power is in Sanhe, and they rely on some kind of power to intertwine and intertwine in Sanhe, forming their own network.However, Ma Qiming had a vague feeling that this was definitely not the case. Qin Mo's thinking was a bit too simple. This kind of judgment mainly came from his understanding of Che Guangyuan's corruption case.This is a well-planned and well-planned frame-up case, full of calculations.If you are not careful, your steps will step on the trap.It's a pity that Che Guangyuan was originally a brave and resourceful person, so it is reasonable to be manipulated by it and trapped by it.In this world, temptations come from all sides, who can guarantee that their footsteps will not cross the restricted area?Ma Qiming sighed, feeling more and more difficult to walk.Unexpectedly, the small Sanhe City has become another dangerous peak to test him and hone him.At this time, he suddenly felt grateful to Deputy Secretary Tong.A person should encounter various obstacles in his life, constantly facing challenges and temptations, so that his steps can be steady and his willpower can be strong.He remembered what Deputy Secretary Tong said to him on the phone when he took office: "Don't think that if you have made some achievements in the development zone, you can raise your tail. If you have this mentality, Che Guangyuan is your best example. Don't expect Then I'll wipe your ass!"
It seems that Deputy Secretary Tong also has insight into Sanhe's situation.Ma Qiming withdrew his thoughts and focused on the situation in front of him.
Compared with Li Xinran, his son Li Huawei is more stubborn.The chairman in his thirties seemed to have expected such a day long ago, and he was fully prepared mentally. Facing surprise interrogations, his rigorous answers were convincing.He inherited his father's domineering and arrogance, and possessed a calmer and calmer psychological quality than his father's. Even Ma Qiming secretly admired such an opponent.
Fortunately, the peripheral investigation of Li Huawei has achieved a substantial breakthrough.After investigation, Li Huawei was the deputy head of a township below Wushui County before founding Huaxin Trading Company.One night six years ago, Li Huawei drove an off-road jeep alone to Sanhe for a banquet. On the way back, a car accident occurred, hitting a sheepskin farmer and seriously injuring him.Li Huawei fled by car, unexpectedly, half a month later, Xiao Si'er knocked on the door of his house, and asked him whether he planned to do it privately or on a public basis.Li Huawei was still thinking of luck at the time, half a month had passed since the incident, and he believed that no one saw it, so he treated Xiao Si'er very badly.Unexpectedly, the inconspicuous little Si'er immediately said a word, and Li Huawei suddenly became short of breath.
This matter is really a bit dramatic. After Li Huawei injured the sheepskin dealer, he originally wanted to send him to the hospital, but when he was hugging the unconscious sheepskin dealer in the car, his hand accidentally touched something, and that thing caused him to have a momentary shock. Immediately after the change of his thinking, the young Li Huawei finally failed to withstand the huge temptation, and fled after taking the things. He didn't expect that it was this terrible thing that led Xiao Si'er to his house.
Xiao Si'er said: "The dealer is still in the hospital, he is not dead, can't imagine, he will remember your car number when he is unconscious, and..." Xiao Si'er stopped talking, and stared deeply at Li Huawei. face.
Li Huawei broke into a cold sweat at the moment, wiped his sweat and stammered: "If you have something to say, say it well, if you have something to say, say it well."
Then there was a contest between Li Huawei and Xiao Si'er. Li Huawei quickly found out that the sheepskin dealer died shortly after being sent to the hospital, and Xiao Si'er lied and tried to deceive him.He immediately changed his words and wanted to overturn his promise.Unexpectedly, the traffic police came to the door after that, and they produced the testimony of the sheepskin dealer when he was dying, as well as the testimony of eyewitnesses.Li Huawei knew that all of this was fabricated, but after all, he was guilty of being a thief and did not dare to argue too much.Xiao Si'er threatened: "I only want things, and I won't pursue your assault. If you can't even do this, then don't blame me for being rude!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the item was in his hands, Li Huawei was held by Xiaosi'er, including Li Xinran, who was the deputy magistrate of Wushui County at the time, and his nose was also held by Xiaosi'er.
According to the traffic policeman in charge of the case at the time, it was Xiao Si'er who reported the traffic accident, and it was Xiao Si'er who sent the person to the hospital.Ten minutes after Li Huawei escaped by car, Xiao Si'er knocked on the door of the traffic police brigade.It can be concluded that the place where Li Huawei bumped into someone was the place where Xiao Si'er wanted to take something from the sheepskin dealer. As for what it was, he didn't check it down at the time, saying that someone had greeted him and asked to close the case as soon as possible.The case was handled by Xiao Si'er withdrew the lawsuit, and the two parties reached a settlement. As for the extent of the settlement, the traffic police don't know.All the traffic police could provide were a few transcripts of Xiao Si'er's report at the time.
We must find Xiaosier!Machiming ordered again.It seems that this little Si'er will be the key to reveal all the secrets of Sanhe.
Just when Qin Mo was about to issue new orders to Li Yu, Wu Shui suddenly reported that Liu Yuying, deputy director of the Education Bureau, was attacked and seriously injured on the head, and his condition was very critical.As soon as Qin Mo heard that it was Liu Yuying, Qin Mo's brain thumped, and he didn't care about asking, and immediately ordered: "Send the person to the city hospital quickly, and do our best to rescue him!"
Qin Mo rushed to the city hospital and made the arrangements first. An hour later, Liu Yuying was brought by the ambulance, along with Li Yu and several comrades from the Wushui Public Security Bureau.Unexpectedly, Zheng Yuan, secretary of the Wushui County Party Committee, also rushed over.
Qin Mo was slightly surprised, why did he come?
When Zheng Yuan saw Qin Mo, he hated and said nothing. He went straight to the dean's office, explained the situation to the dean, and asked the hospital to rescue him with all his strength.
After sending Liu Yuying to the operating room, the two met again in the corridor. Qin Mo took the initiative to say hello and apologize to Zheng Yuan.Qin Mo's apology has two meanings. One is that Qin Mo and Zheng Yuan had a quarrel about Li Xinran.At that time, Che Guangyuan wanted to touch Li Xinran and his son. Qin Mo tactfully approached Zheng Yuan, wanting Zheng Yuan to intercede with Secretary Yuan Bo, but Zheng Yuan refused on the spot, and quickly fed back the information to Li Chunjiang, which made Li Chunjiang feel bad about Qin. Silently misunderstood for a while.Until Che Guangyuan's accident, Li Chunjiang was still blaming Qin Mo, saying that he lost his position in front of big right and wrong, and only had the concept of relatives and friends in his heart.Qin Mo called Zheng Yuan at that time, asking him why he said this to Li Chunjiang.Unexpectedly, Zheng Yuan became more irritable, scolded him severely on the phone, and advised him to resign as soon as possible, and don't take advantage of his position to make mistakes.On another level, Qin Mo wanted to apologize for what happened to Liu Yuying.After all, she is a cadre in Wushui County, and the public security is most responsible for this kind of thing.
Zheng Yuan still didn't speak, but he took out a cigarette and offered Qin Mo a respectful one.Qin Mo said, "Thank you, I'm quitting." Zheng Yuan didn't care, and ordered himself a cigarette.His smoking posture is fierce, as if he has a grudge against cigarettes.Qin Mo said awkwardly: "Smoking too much is not good for your health, so you should quit if you can." Zheng Yuan slammed the cigarette away, left Qin Mo and left.
Qin Mo felt that Zheng Yuan was unreasonable.
Ordinarily, when something happened to Liu Yuying, there was absolutely no need for Zheng Yuan, the secretary of the county party committee, to come here in person, and his expression was far more nervous than Qin Mo's.This thing is really confusing.Qin Mo was thinking about it, when Li Yu walked over quietly and asked, "Does he stink of you?"
Qin Mo raised his head and stared at Li Yu puzzledly: "What do you mean by that?"
Li Yu was embarrassed for a moment, and mumbled: "Secretary Zheng is weird, he cares about Director Liu very much."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Qin Mo scolded Li Yu and asked, "Does the murderer have any clues?"
Li Yu shook his head.
Liu Yuying was attacked at a garbage dump on the outskirts of the city.At 11:20 in the morning, the Wushui Public Security Bureau suddenly received a report that someone had committed a crime at the suburban garbage dump.When the police handling the case arrived at the scene, Liu Yuying was already in a pool of blood.The reporter was a garbage truck driver. According to him, at ten o'clock in the morning, he was driving to the garbage dump to deliver garbage. When he was about to enter the dump, he suddenly saw a woman lying on the road with blood all over her body.At that time, the garbage dump was very quiet, except for a few old people who had just come to pick up garbage, there was no one around.When he quickly took out the garbage and carried Liu Yuying to the car with some garbage collectors, a shepherd ran up and said that two men beat this woman just now, very fiercely. He looked scared and hit her from a distance. After yelling a few times, calling for the police to come, the two men stopped and ran away in a hurry.
"What did she go to the garbage dump for?" Li Yu was still reporting when Qin Mo suddenly interrupted him and asked.
"Our analysis is to see Xiao Si'er."
"Little Sier?" Qin Mo was startled, but he quickly asked, "What else did the shepherd see?"
"The sheep herder is from Dongshan. When Liu Yuying was attacked, he had just arrived there with the sheep. He didn't know what happened before."
"No other leads?"
"Someone saw Xiao Si'er in a hotel in the suburbs of Wushui, saying that he stayed there last night."
"Oh?" Qin Mo's brows tightened. It seems that the brave and skilled Xiao Si'er really never left Wu Shui.
Li Yu went on to report that it has been found out that Xiao Si'er lived in the Red Rose Hotel last night.There is a good chance that this is his point.The owner of this store is a prisoner who has been released after serving his sentence. The hotel is located at the junction of the expressway and the provincial road. People in Wushui call it the Sancha intersection, and the business is booming.Li Yu also mentioned a new situation. During the investigation, the investigators accidentally discovered that there was a sex trade in this hotel, and two couples were arrested on the spot.According to reports from the surrounding people, Red Rose is actually a pornographic den. Most of the people who settle in are doing small businesses or walking around the street to collect sheepskins. Generally, they leave after finding prostitutes, and few of them stay overnight.
Hearing the word sheepskin, Qin Mo's nerves tightened suddenly, and he urgently urged Li Yu: "Speak on!"
Li Yu said: "This is the current situation. The investigators are still on the scene and will report any situation at any time."
While talking, Li Yu's phone rang. As soon as he connected, a voice came from the phone: "Captain Li, we have arrested six more prostitutes, two of them..."
"What's wrong?"
"They were drug users and they had drugs in their possession."
"What?" Li Yu felt that someone had knocked him down, and he quickly told Qin Mo the news, and Qin Mo was even more shocked.
"You go back right now, and make a surprise inspection of that boss. Pay attention, you must keep it secret."
Li Yu took the order and left, Qin Mo suddenly felt a little out of breath.The news was so important, he thought again of the farm on the edge of the desert, and for some reason, these two places were suddenly connected together.Sheepskin collectors, little four children, prostitutes... If things are as he thought, what he dug up this time is not just the shady inside the police...
In the distance, at the junction of the inpatient department and the outpatient building, Zheng Yuan was smoking one cigarette after another. The thick smoke covered his face, making him look even more mysterious.
The work of interrogating Zhu Sanqiang, the owner of the Red Rose Hotel, started overnight. Under the strong offensive, Zhu Sanqiang finally collapsed. It turned out that he and Xiao Sier knew each other.
Zhu Sanqiang is from Qinghai. He hid a golden monkey (a kind of gold dust that looks like a monkey) in his anus because he was digging gold. He was discovered by the treasurer of Jin, beat him up, and locked him in the shopkeeper of Jin to punish the unfaithful Shawa. In the dungeon.Later, he escaped with a few gold-digging Shawa and tried to use explosives to kill the treasurer Jin, but was discovered by the thugs hired by the treasurer Jin and almost lost his life.After escaping from Shuanglonggou, known as the Valley of Death, he robbed a county town and was sent to prison.Originally sentenced to twenty years, it was Xiao Si'er who tried to get him out early.After he came out, he hung out with Xiao Si'er first, and then Xiao Si'er opened this small hotel for him, allowing him to earn some money and marry a wife.It has been open for a year, but the business is sluggish and can't be maintained. He doesn't want to do it anymore.Unexpectedly, Xiao Si'er brought him a girl named Hong Hong, and said that he could do that kind of business, and the above had already taken care of it, so there would be no danger.This made the red rose famous.Now the daily income is no less than a thousand, and I can play with a few girls for nothing.
Ask him about Xiaosier, this guy hesitates and refuses to say more.He only confessed that Xiao Si'er came here yesterday, didn't speak to him, went straight into Honghong's room, turned over at dawn and left.He said that he never asked about Xiao Si'er, he didn't dare to ask, although Xiao Si'er was kind to him, but asking Xiao Si'er indiscriminately would be very rude, and maybe his tongue was cut off.The brothers on the road all knew Xiao Si'er's temper, and no one dared to ask more questions except him.
This is Li Yuxin.
The same is true of Hong Hong's confession.Last night, Xiao Si'er came in when it was dark. At that time, she had just finished picking up customers. Xiao Si'er kicked the door open, kicked out the client who was pulling up his trousers, and fell asleep.After waking up, he said he wanted to call and sent her away.After sleeping all night, Xiao Si'er didn't say a word to her. Before leaving in the morning, Xiao Si'er suddenly said: "Pack up your things, leave Sanhe, and go somewhere else to spend your days."
With a runny nose, Hong Hong said tearfully, "I am in this state, if I leave Red Rose, how can I still want me?" She yawned a series of yawns, and then asked Li Yu for a fan.Li Yu drank, Hong Hong plopped on the ground and knelt down: "Please, give me a sip, I can do anything if I take a sip of you."
It seems that Zhu Sanqiang and Hong Hong really don't know the whereabouts of Xiao Si'er.But it can be concluded that Xiaosi'er must have met Liu Yuying when he went out in the morning, so what kind of deal is there between him and Liu Yuying?How much does Liu Yuying know about Xiao Si'er?
All this can only be learned after Liu Yuying is out of danger.
Liu Yuying was still in a coma after performing a large-scale head operation, and the hospital was not absolutely sure whether she could survive.
It seems that the situation is not very optimistic.
Pan Caizhang received a call from a stranger asking him to immediately stop the prank between Tong Xiaoniu and Liu Dong.
"I think you've had enough trouble. If you make trouble again, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop it." The other party said in a threatening tone.
"Who are you?" Pan Caizhang was taken aback, he felt that the other party had a lot of connections.
"You don't care who I am, you should take care of yourself now, remember, find a way to let Liu Dong go, if he stays locked up, it will be a big trouble for you."
The other party hung up after finishing speaking. Pan Caizhang wanted to check the number, but the other party actually forgot the number. "Damn it!" He cursed, threw away his phone, and paced back and forth in the office.
This Liu Dong is truly a disaster!Pan Caizhang really regretted it. It was a stupid mistake to follow Lao Hei and get to know that Peng.Originally, he thought, find a time to let the surname Peng take away the things, everyone, you don't owe me and I don't owe you, and we should settle the matter.Unexpectedly, the surnamed Peng was a white-eyed wolf. He said: "I don't intend to take back what Peng sent out, just like what I said."
"What do you mean?" Pan Caizhang asked guiltily.
"What do you mean? Director Pan, you and I are both on-the-spot people, and you should be very clear about the rules on the scene. I don't want to say some things a second time. I'd better ask Director Pan to be a good person to the end and get my wife and nephew out quickly."
"Are you threatening me?"
"Don't dare, hehe, who dares to threaten you, Director Pan, but Sanhe is a place that can be said to be big or small, if Director Pan doesn't believe it, then let's walk and try?"
Two days after the surname Peng finished speaking, Pan Caizhang's wife went to the street to buy vegetables, and suddenly a motorcycle rushed out of a diagonal corner, and someone poured a pot of Jianlibao on his wife's face, and walked away.His wife was so frightened that she couldn't recover for a few days.Thinking about it, I am really afraid. If it is not Jianlibao, but sulfuric acid or something, what will happen?
Pan Caizhang felt guilty, and he started to move around, trying to get Liu Dong out as soon as possible.However, the current wind direction of the Public Security Bureau has changed suddenly, and everyone on Pan Caizhang's line has begun to feel insecure, and their heads shrink more and more.No one is willing to take risks at such a time, and advised him to restrain himself and wait and see the direction of the wind.Pan Caizhang was full of resentment, didn't he know how to restrain himself?Can it be restrained?
He told the situation to the surname Peng, but the surname Peng didn't force him and said he understood.Just as Pan Caizhang breathed a sigh of relief, the surname Peng said, "However, if Liu Dong lost a hair in it, I'd like to ask."
There was no way, Pan Caizhang discussed with Wang Fu for a long time, planning to separate Liu Dong from Tong Xiaoniu, who knew that Liu Dong was not an easy boss, he just made Pan Caizhang feel uncomfortable, no matter what Wang Fu said, he just refused to say that In the prison cell, it seemed that he had competed with Tong Xiaoniu.童小牛呢，也让刘冬给激起来了，公开嚷：“敢把老子跟刘冬分开，门都没有！谁要是活得不自在，就来分分试试。”潘才章里外不是人，一怒之下道：“就把这两个杂种拴一个槽上，踢，让他们踢，一个踢死一个才好！”
这以后，那间囚室天天传出打斗声，忽儿是童小牛将刘冬打得喊娘，忽儿又是刘冬将童小牛打得叫爹。狱警也是习惯了，加上这两人又都有来头，只要不出人命，谁也懒得管。
消息传到老黑耳朵里，老黑打电话质问：“到底怎么回事？”潘才章冲电话就骂：“老子是共产党的看守所长，不是你童家的看门狗，以后少拿这口气跟我说话。”老黑把话传给童百山，童百山很大度地说：“以后这种事你少掺和，免得人家说我们干扰执法。”见老黑眨巴眼睛，童百山又说，“也该让他受点教训了，记住，没我的话，谁也不能往里送东西。”
童百山一不施加压力，潘才章胆子便大起来，索性恶作剧般放开让童小牛跟刘冬斗，斗得越凶越好，斗得越凶人们才不会拿以前那种眼神看他潘才章。
没想，刘冬跟童小牛还没斗出个所以然，他潘才章的难便来了。
潘才章在屋里转了很久，仍是想不出这个神秘人是谁。他相信不是姓彭的，姓彭的如果有要求，一定会赤裸裸说出来，用不着玩这种把戏。也不会是童百山那边的人，那边的人不会无聊到让他放刘冬出去。忽然，一个人影跳出来，潘才章吓了一跳：“妈呀，是他？不会吧？”再一想，是，一定是！
潘才章一屁股瘫在椅子上，半天透不过气。
晚上，潘才章悄悄来到一个地方，等他的是检察院一位科长，不是上次那位，上次那位已经断了联系，特殊时期特殊策略，谁都很敏感，谁也怕担风险。这位算是老朋友，老相识，这么说吧，铁杆子，一条道上的。
两人刚坐下，潘才章就急急地问：“最近风声是不是很紧？”
对方默了一会，忧心忡忡说：“是不大对头，马其鸣跟秦默神神秘秘的，好像要闹腾点事。”
“那……动作大不？”一提秦默，潘才章就心虚，可惜这阵子他的信息很是闭塞，越想知道的东西越是没法知道。
“暂时还说不准，这次不像上次，外界一点响动也没，不过从进去的几个人分析，情况可能不大好。”
“你是说……？”
对方叹了口气：“吴水县的李欣然进去了，说是受贿，可检察院除了成名杰，别人都插不上手，听说案件直接由马其鸣负责，这不大正常。这应该是纪委管的案子，马其鸣凭啥要插手？”
潘才章吸口冷气，李欣然进去的事他知道，他跟王副说起这事时，还坚持说是受贿。现在看来，是他脑子太简单。
“还进去了几个，但具体情况谁也打听不到，这一次，他们把保密工作做得滴水不漏。”对方说这话时，脸上是掩不住的沮丧。潘才章看到了事情的严峻性，不过他强撑着，极力缓解自己的神经。对方没等他发话，接着道：“老潘啊，有句话不知当讲不当讲，不过看在你我多年的份上，还是早做准备吧，免得突然有一天让人家搞个措手不及。”
潘才章心里腾地一声，他最怕对方说出这种话来。斗争了好长一会儿，还是颤着声音问：“难道……他……就没一点对策？”
对方不吭声了，谁都清楚那个他是谁，可多少年来，谁也不曾讲出来。也许这就是一种默契，一种能成为朋友所必需的默契。过了好长一会儿，对方才说：“老潘啊，有的时候我们不能指望别人，你懂我的意思不？”
“指望不住啊！”潘才章发出同感。
当天晚上，潘才章便开始了行动——自保行动，他把屋子翻了个遍，所有藏秘密的地儿都翻了过来。老婆在床上大声尖叫：“潘才章你神经啊，深更半夜的。”
“夹住你的嘴！”潘才章恶狠狠道。
做完这些，潘才章在沙发上坐到了天亮。
他睡不着，真是睡不着。一股没来由的怕彻头彻尾包围了他，这一次，真是不一般啊。
第二天早上，潘才章心力交瘁地迈着无力的步子去上班，刚拐过十字路口，便看到两个行踪诡秘的人朝他走过来，潘才章还在疑惑中，对方已一前一后逼住他：“你是潘才章吗，请跟我们走一趟！”
消息很快传到百山集团。童百山正在跟深圳万业投资集团的代表商谈投资的事，副总老黑急慌慌跑进来，耳语了几句，童百山黑下脸，跟客商代表说了声对不起，跟着老黑走出来。刚进自己的办公室，童百山便问：“你说的是真的？”
“千真万确，早上刚上班，人还没进办公室，就被带走了。”副总老黑像是发誓一般。
“是检察院还是公安局？”
“姓王的……说不清，只说是……让他们带走了。”老黑结巴起来，这人最大的毛病便是一遇事就结巴。
“屁大个三河市，让谁带走都搞不清，他是吃什么长大的？”童百山几乎是在吼了。的确，这种时候办事还是这个样子，他能不吼吗？
老黑吓得一阵抖，这是多少年来童百山第一次这样吼。去年车光远闹腾事儿，童百山都没这么吼过。过了一会儿，老黑颤惊惊问：“要不，我再去打听打听？”
“打听个头，都是一群废物！”童百山说着便抓起电话，是他平日很少用的黑色保密机，电话刚一通，童百山便问：“人是谁带走的？”
那边说：“还没搞清楚，正在查。”
“有消息马上通知我！”童百山叫完，人便成了另一个样子。看得出，潘才章出事对他震动不小，尤其到现在还不能断定带人者是谁，问题就越发复杂。他甚至想，会不会落到安全部门手里？
转眼之间，他便否定了这想法。荒唐，姓潘的跟安全部门有什么瓜葛！准是马其鸣玩的把戏，这个人——他恨恨地打断思路，转身跟老黑说：“马上传我的话，见着小四儿，就地灭口！”
“灭口？”老黑不敢相信地盯住童百山，心里直纳闷，这事跟小四儿有啥关系？
“去呀，还傻着做啥？难道要等我们全进去了才下手？”童百山已完全成了惊弓之鸟，他的样子吓坏了副总老黑。跟着他这么些年，老黑从没见他失态过。其实老黑压根儿就不知晓童百山做过些什么，更是搞不懂他脑子里的那些怪诞的想法。老黑充其量也就傀儡一个。
老黑走后，童百山平静了会儿自己，等他再次走进会议室，脸上已是镇定自若，甚至谈笑风生，一点看不出刚才经历了什么。
这天的会谈不欢而散，童百山突然对以前做出的承诺来了个大推翻，说经过再三论证，觉得做出的让步太大，这样项目即或引进来，百山集团的受益也会大打折扣。他的反常令深圳方面大吃一惊，想不到仅仅几分钟，童百山就能做出如此不可思议的决定。
要知道，作为投资方，深圳方面不是找不到理想的合作伙伴，只是念在三河高层多次招商的份上，才答应跟百山集团谈。谁知百山集团如此毁约。
送走客人好久，童百山还把自己关在办公室里，他在想，这步棋下得是不是太过冒险？要是上面追究起来，到底该如何作答？
还未等他想好答案，市委的电话便到了。打电话的是市委常务副书记孙吉海。
“你搞什么名堂，这么大的事，说毁约就毁约，你把市委怎么看？”孙吉海显得很恼火，这项目是他一手抓的，突然毁约，令他很是震惊。童百山懒洋洋地说：“对方条件苛刻，我接受不了。”
“一派胡言！”孙吉海骂完，啪地挂了电话。紧跟着，电话又叫起来，这一次打电话的是孙吉海的秘书，让他立即到市委，当面向孙副书记汇报。
童百山不能不去，还好，他到孙吉海办公室时，孙吉海的火已消了一半。
“怎么搞的，主要条款不是早已谈好了吗？”
童百山慢条斯理地说：“崩了，我是没这个能耐，你找别人谈吧。”
“你？”孙吉海这才意识到并不是谈判出了问题。“好啊，老童，你跟我玩这一手。”
“孙书记，你可别乱想，我童百山向来明人不做暗事。”
“明人？”孙吉海牙齿咬了几咬，把要说的话吞咽进去。这个时候，他已清楚，自己处在了什么位置上，童百山这一手，其实就是冲他来的。他真是后悔，当初要把这个项目交给百山集团。这项目是他跟省委保证了的，也是在市委常委会上拍了胸脯的。接下来，他要考虑的是，怎么跟市委和省委解释？
童百山冷冷地盯住孙吉海，他倒要看看，这出戏接下来该咋演？
夜，漆黑一片，风从遥远处刮来，洗劫着城市的各个角落。朱牤儿躲在一家废弃工地的窝棚里，抖着目光朝外张望。
朱牤儿是下午收工时突然发现独狼的，劳累了一天，朱牤儿有气无力往回走，甚至连饭也不想吃，就想回工棚好好睡一觉。忽然，工地一角闪出三个陌生的身影，神色诡秘地往工棚里去。朱牤儿一惊，那不正是独狼吗？几乎同时，独狼也看见了他，脚步飞快地朝这边移来。朱牤儿暗叫不好，借着工友们的掩护，他很快缩回到工地上，但此时的工地已保护不了他。情急中穿过密密匝匝的钢筋，奔到已经竣工的三号楼，楼下正好有辆自行车，是送牛奶的师傅的，朱牤儿夺过车骑上就跑。出了工区，他看见一辆公共汽车，刚扔了自行车，就见独狼他们的脚步已追了过来。朱牤儿不敢怠慢，掉头就往一居民区跑。借着暮色的掩护，他在曲曲折折的巷子里奔了个把钟头，才算逃开独狼他们的追杀。
真是活见鬼，无论他逃到哪家工地，独狼的脚步总会跟来。一想曾在吴水汽车站差点让独狼一刀捅死的情景，朱牤儿吓得尿都要出来。天啊，我该咋个办，这么躲躲到哪一天？在废旧的工棚里藏了个把钟头，朱牤儿边朝外巴望边乱想，这个地方还是不太保险，独狼的鼻子一定能闻到，跟他一起的那两个是啥人，怎么老是阴魂不散？
天愈发地黑，朱牤儿又怕又饿，肚子里像是一窝老鼠在打架，咬得他直想把这个叫肚子的东西挖掉。必须得吃一点，不然连跑的力气也没。不能等死！朱牤儿边给自己打气边试探性地往外走。这时候街上的路灯还亮着，路灯下卖烤肉的卖馄饨的还没收摊，朱牤儿忍不住肚子的叫唤，摸了摸口袋，发现还有五块多钱，就朝卖馄饨的妇女走。卖馄饨的妇女打量他一眼，见又是一个皮包骨头的民工，有点扫兴，转身朝另一个方向吆喝。朱牤儿只望了一眼馄饨汤，口水便哗啦啦流下来，抹了把嘴，说：“下……下一碗。”
碗字还没落地，对面烤肉摊的两个人唰地抬起了头。“妈呀，”朱牤儿拔腿就跑，边跑边骂自个，“你个笨猪，你个短命鬼，咋就偏偏跑这儿吃啊——”
朱牤儿慌不择路，或者，他早就想好要往哪儿跑，等他大汗淋淋跑到病区时，追他的人才迫不得已停下了脚步。他不敢松气，穿过长廊，径直就往前几日偷偷看好的那间病房跑。快到病房时，正好跟出来接电话的李春江撞上了。朱牤儿猛地抱住李春江的腿：“救救我，救救我，他们要杀我啊——”
李春江再也没理由沉默了。如果他还沉默，就实在对不住这一腔血性。而且，今天白天，他接到郑源电话说苏紫家又被抄了，当时苏紫不在，家里只有她婆婆跟三岁的女儿，歹徒将她婆婆捆起来，差点把孩子吓出病。
“这帮畜牲，真是太猖狂了！”听完朱牤儿的哭诉，李春江再也按捺不住，当下给马其鸣打电话，要求立即回三河，投入工作。马其鸣这时还没睡，跟妻子梅涵刚刚在电话里亲热完，心里正热着哩。李春江的这个电话让他越发兴奋，想了想，又把电话打过去，问梅涵北京那边联系得怎么样了，能不能尽快将叶子荷送过去。
梅涵纳闷地问：“老公，深更半夜的，怎么突然想起别的女人了？”
朱牤儿从看守所拿出的东西，的确十分重要。上面清楚地记录了童小牛、潘才章一伙这些年收受钱财，设法从看守所、监狱等往外捞人或串通供词抵抗法律制裁的犯罪事实。单是上面记录的，就有三十二人！李春江仔细研究了一番，这三十二人中，属于非法串供的十八人，重罪轻判的六人，找人抵罪者达八人！
他们收受的好处费、辛苦费高达二百六十多万元！
马其鸣和秦默都惊住了。他们怎么也不敢想，这伙人有如此大的能耐，敢在法律眼皮底下玩如此偷梁换柱的游戏！更可怕的是，除了童小牛、阿黑和潘才章、王副这些人外，还提到了十多个公检法系统牵线搭桥的人，其中有个代号叫老二的，来头十分可怕。
what to do?秦默跟李春江目光齐聚在马其鸣脸上，一下子牵出这么多人，而且又都是公检法系统的，真是棘手！马其鸣脸色阴郁，情况比他想的糟得多，也重得多。这些跟童小牛、潘才章联系的，充其量只是一些跑腿报信的，真正掌握权力敢于拿权力交易的人，一定躲在幕后，这要是真挖出来，怕在全国也是绝无仅有的爆炸性新闻。
这才是典型的司法腐败啊！马其鸣真是不敢想下去。
“要不请示一下袁波书记，听听他的意见？”秦默说。
“不能请示！”李春江忽地阻拦道。
“哦？”马其鸣不解地将目光对住李春江，李春江的话让他倏地起了警觉。
“你什么意思？”秦默也有点莫名其妙，不过他没往别处想。
“这件事……有……有疑问。”李春江吞吞吐吐，像是有什么隐情不便说出来。
秦默意识到什么，目光从李春江脸上移开，默然垂下了头。
“说吧，有什么想法，尽管说出来。”马其鸣说道。
李春江仍是吞吐着，不说。
秦默忽然来了气，恨恨地瞪住李春江：“我走，我走了你跟马书记单独谈！”
“老秦！”马其鸣止住秦默，他知道，李春江是对秦默有看法，当初在李欣然的问题上，秦默是出面保过李欣然，还跟李春江发过火。但这都是过去，眼下就他们三个人，再不能互相怀疑、互相拆台，必须放弃前嫌，精诚团结才行。
“春江，你也不要多想，老秦对自己的过去也是很后悔，当初也怪不了他，人嘛，谁没个三亲四朋，一时之间是很难割舍下那份情的。”
马其鸣替秦默说了许多，说得秦默都有点脸红。李春江这才犹豫着说：“不是我不相信秦局，这件事，我还不能确定，但现在就去请示袁波书记，我怕……”
"What are you afraid of?"
“老秦，你知不知道袁波书记有个侄子，打小就在他家住？”李春江对住秦默，问。
秦默想了一会，忽然问：“你是说袁小安？”
“对，就是袁小安。”李春江点头。
“这事跟他有什么关系，小安不是那年无罪释放了吗，听说他现在在省城搞建材生意，怎么了，你听到什么？”秦默尽管问得轻松，可心里，却不由得吃紧。
李春江再次犹豫了会儿，说：“这事我也觉得蹊跷，可朱牤儿跟我说，他在看守所时，听到童小牛他们提过这个袁小安，后来在省城，有次他撞见袁小安跟独狼在一起，朱牤儿在省城的藏身地点就是袁小安帮独狼打听的。”
“胡扯！”秦默不相信地说，“朱牤儿怎么可能认识袁小安，定是这小子神经受刺激，瞎掰的。”
“不是，”李春江道，“朱牤儿说的确实是袁小安，我在省城也见过袁小安，是跟郑源一起去见的，我分析，袁小安现在做的并不是建材生意，里面的名堂怕是很值得怀疑。”
“哦？”秦默跟马其鸣再次露出吃惊的神情。突然冒出个袁小安，真令他们不敢妄下结论。
“这事郑源也不大清楚，是我多了个心眼悄悄调查的，袁小安暗中从事的，很可能跟毒品有关，这一点省城缉毒大队正在调查，相信很快会弄清楚。我担心的是袁波书记可能也会搅进去。”
“你是说那个老二？”
“不，老二肯定不是袁波书记，袁波书记的事，怕比这个老二还复杂。”
三个人忽然都没了话，屋子里的空气陡地沉重起来，谁都觉得心上压了个重重的东西，想搬，却又搬不动。
沉默了好一会儿，秦默忽然说：“对了，我想起来了，去年车书记让你查潘才章时，袁波书记找过我，婉转地跟我表示，想把你的工作动一动，当时我还说，自己退也不能让春江走，他一走，三河公安就没戏唱了。”
话说到这儿，李春江才畅开心扉说：“其实，我的工作他们都已经想好了，进政法委，安安稳稳坐办公室，是郑源不知怎么说服了袁波书记，才没动。”
“郑源？”马其鸣听得越发糊涂，怎么又扯出吴水那个县委书记了？
秦默和李春江同时哦了一声，秦默跟马其鸣说，“郑源跟袁波书记关系密切，这一点三河市的干部都清楚，本来年初，郑源就要提拔到市委副书记的位子上，只是郑源突然变了卦，自己蹬住腿不来，这事才放下了。”
马其鸣似懂非懂地点点头，话题原又回到袁小安身上。李春江说：“就目前掌握的情况，袁小安肯定跟童小牛一伙有牵扯，还有那个独狼，也很可疑。我原来以为他只是童小牛的爪牙，但从他追杀朱牤儿这件事上，又觉不是。如果我判断的没错，童小牛一伙现在最想除掉的，不是朱牤儿，是小四儿。可为什么独狼偏偏要咬住朱牤儿不放？”
“朱牤儿到底说过没，他跟袁小安有什么瓜葛？他怎么能认识袁小安？”秦默还是觉得朱牤儿的话不可信。长期跟这些人打交道，秦默有了一种无意识，总觉得这些人信口开河，啥话都敢跟你瞎编。过去好几个案子上，他就吃过这种亏，让一些子虚乌有的假线索弄得团团转，到头来才发现，这些乡下来的受害者最敢拿想象力说话，天上地下的都敢说。
“这事我还没来得及问。不过，我相信朱牤儿这次不会说谎，这孩子也够苦的，妹妹死了，自己又几次险些死在独狼手上。”说着，李春江心里的同情便漫到脸上，朱牤儿的遭遇的确给他触动很深，幸亏这年轻人机灵，腿又跑得快，要不又该多出一条人命。
“好，接下来我们分头行动，春江你尽快搞清楚朱牤儿，老秦你负责收审王副。对童小牛，我们也不采取动作，就把他关在看守所，看下一步还能引出什么。”
马其鸣话还没说完，秦默打断他问：“对了，你还没告诉我潘才章的去向，到底是谁把他带走了，怎么这事连我也给蒙了？”
马其鸣神秘地一笑：“暂时还不能告诉你，记住了，在我这儿有些事得保密，可你们不许，必须有啥说啥。”
秦默有点不甘心，嚷：“这不公平。”说完又觉失言，嘿嘿地笑了笑。
朱牤儿现在住在三河一家宾馆，由专人照看。经过两天多的休息
