Chapter 6 Chapter 6 City Gate Changes

As expected, Sanhe's top management fell into turmoil. First, Secretary Yuan Bo was ordered to go to the provincial capital to report on his work. When he came back, his face was gloomy and he didn't talk to anyone, as if he had suffered a serious illness.Then, Qin Mo was called by the organization department to have a conversation. The conversation lasted for a whole morning. Before Li Chunjiang could get news from Ma Qiming, a bigger news broke out in the Public Security Bureau building. Wu Dagong is back! Accompanying him into the office building of the Public Security Bureau was actually a deputy director of the Provincial Department.At that moment, Wu Dagong's office became lively, and a group of people who had been depressed for a long time burst into bright smiles from the inside out as if they were welcoming the sun.

Yuan Bo and Ma Qiming dragged on the issue of the candidate for the Sanhe City Public Security Bureau Chief for several months, and it was soon put on the Standing Committee, and the meeting started at 3:00 p.m. until now. Sun Jihai, the executive deputy secretary, had an extremely tough attitude. He didn't consider Secretary Yuan Bo's opinion at all, and urged Wu Dagong, who had just returned from seeing a doctor. Not only that, he also proposed to transfer Li Chunjiang as the director of the Sanhe Foreign Economic Cooperation Office, from deputy county level to Zheng County. Ma Qiming was dumbfounded, Wu Dagong was already expected to succeed Qin Mo, but the promotion of Li Chunjiang made him dumbfounded.The organization department didn't communicate with him at all beforehand, and Secretary Yuan Bo seemed to be kept in the dark.

Qin Mo's retirement is irreversible. Although Ma Qiming has a thousand reluctances in his heart, he is only the political and legal secretary after all, and he only has the right to make suggestions when it comes to the appointment of cadres.However, Li Chunjiang said he could not do anything.If Li Chunjiang were pulled out by them, he would become a poor commander, and he might end up worse than Che Guangyuan.This is still second, what is important is what to do with the case that has just begun to emerge?Turn it all over again, or continue to be pressed by them? Yes, press.At this time, Ma Qiming deeply felt what a high-pressure policy is. If the power does not let you speak, you can't even open your mouth.

At the meeting, Ma Qiming's thoughts fluctuated violently, and his eyes flicked over the faces of the Standing Committee members again and again.Among the nine Standing Committee members present, he has the least qualifications and the shortest time since he came to Sanhe, that is to say, he has the least right to speak.Twice, his eyes met Sun Jihai's, and then looked away. Today's Sun Jihai made him look at him with admiration, as if he was madly fighting back when he was desperate, a bit like killing someone to death.He actually confronted Qin Mo. Just as Qin Mo said something before thinking about it, Sun Jihai snatched the words and said, "How long do we have to think about a team? One year, two years, or a century?" Qin Mo was rejected His arrogance forced him to swallow back his words.Sun Jihai went on to say: "We are matching teams, not fighting. If every team takes so long, we might as well stop doing other jobs and just squat down all day to count people!" It's not just about making trouble.Ma Qiming quietly observed Sun Jihai, and found that he was full of confidence and determination today.Could it be that this confidence really came from the sudden death of that Yang Si?

A person has completely disappeared and left with all the secrets. What is there for the living to be afraid of? Taking the dead to save the living is often the most effective way when there is no other way! Thinking of this, he fixed his eyes on the old secretary Yuan Bo.Yuan Bo is also a little abnormal, he always seems to be insincere.Sometimes it seems to be objecting, and sometimes it seems to be prevaricating. The hesitant appearance has to be suspicious.Ma Qiming suddenly thought of that Yuan Xiaoan, Yuan Bo's trip to the provincial capital, could it be... When voting on Wu Dagong, Ma Qiming hesitated again and again, but still raised his fist.At this time, he can only make long-term plans, and he must not mess up his position.He saw that all the Standing Committee members raised their hands, and the vote went surprisingly smoothly.

This is the reality of Sanhe! Next, discuss the transfer of Li Chunjiang.Ma Qiming was silent at first, listening to comrades in the organization department talk about the importance of horizontal communication between cadres, and then a member of the Standing Committee spoke, fully affirming Li Chunjiang's work, and had no objection to promoting such comrades.At this time, Ma Qiming was rational and calm, and he already knew that the members of the Standing Committee must have received some kind of hint or communication in advance.Sometimes the members of the Standing Committee are also a small group, a small circle, or to put it bluntly, it is very likely to become a community of interests.This interest includes the interests of the country, the organization, and the people, but it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be mixed with personal interests.When personal interests outweigh other interests, there is a dark side, so exchanges, balances, compromises, etc., anything can happen.The so-called sharing of risks and benefits is nothing new. This is nothing new in the power field.

When the members of the Standing Committee were about to finish their statements, Ma Qiming thought to himself, it's time to speak, and we can't let you finish all the good words. He glanced at the venue coldly, and then said: "I have to inform you about something. Not long ago, this city captured a drug criminal and took away two extremely hidden drug manufacturing and trafficking dens." It is certain that there are rampant underground drug manufacturing and trafficking activities in this city, and the case is very serious. Since Comrade Li Chunjiang is currently in charge of this case, I suggest that Comrade Li Chunjiang's job will not be transferred for the time being, please consider it."

After speaking, he picked up the water glass and took a sip calmly. Yuan Bo and Sun Jihai's eyes widened at the same time.According to discipline, any large-scale drug dealing, production and sales and other criminal activities are never allowed to be leaked until the truth of the case is revealed.Ma Qiming had only reported Fan Daganzi's matter to Yuan Bo and Sun Jihai, and he could only stop there.Unexpectedly, Ma Qiming disregarded the disciplinary agreement and brought up the matter at the meeting.This man is so immature! There was a commotion in the venue, and the Standing Committee members were surprised, and all focused their eyes on Ma Qiming's face.This is a violation of organizational principles and a taboo for leading cadres.

Machiming still drank the water quietly. The unexpected thing finally happened. When the Standing Committee members were whispering to each other, the chairman of the meeting, Sun Jihai, suddenly announced: "In view of a major case, this is the end of Comrade Li Chunjiang's affairs. Members of the Standing Committee, please keep confidential and adjourn the meeting!" Ma Qiming sat on the chair without moving, staring at Sun Jihai coldly. This trick is too risky, but absolutely effective.Just imagine, in the face of major right and wrong related to drug crimes, which member of the Standing Committee dares to easily express his position and transfer Li Chunjiang?

Sun Jihai really didn't expect that Ma Qiming would take such a bold move and push him to a desperate situation. He had no choice but to admit defeat. He gritted his teeth and hated in his heart: "You are ruthless!" Seeing Sun Jihai leave the meeting place, Ma Qiming's heart calmed down.He looked at his watch, it was already eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, no wonder his stomach kept growling. When a person is in a desperate situation, there are all kinds of strange tricks.Ma Qiming also forced Sun Jihai to no choice. Apart from playing the anti-drug card, he had no tricks to stop the fists of the Standing Committee members from voting.Sun Jihai was so imposing because of his ability.Of course, this move is a bit far from the principle, but Machiming can only ask for results now.He won, and he believed that the effect of this move was far from saving Li Chunjiang, and it was likely to disrupt the tacit understanding formed by the Standing Committee members.Think again, why did the standing committee members let Sun Jihai and others lead the way? What are they afraid of?Besides being afraid of getting involved, what else to be afraid of!From Che Guangyuan to Ma Qiming, they all played a big move, a big move that could overturn the entire Sanhe. Of course, everyone here is reluctant!However, if Ma Qiming leads the Standing Committee members to another road and tells them that during this period of time, the mysterious thing they are doing is anti-drug, and they are smashing the den of drug dealers, rather than trying to catch someone like Che Guangyuan, the Standing Committee What would they think?

The situation took a turn for the worse. As soon as Wu Dagong took office, he immediately attacked Li Chunjiang and Lao Zeng.He arranged five jobs for Lao Zeng on the same day, none of which had anything to do with the police. "I can't do this job anymore, I've become a handyman!" Lao Zeng had nowhere to complain, so he could only vent his anger on Li Chunjiang.Li Chunjiang said with a wry smile: "Go ahead, try whatever it is, don't just think about meritorious service." "For meritorious service?" Lao Zeng's face darkened, "I'm afraid...forget it, let's not talk about it, I'm in a hurry to go to the third prison, and you should carry it for me first if you have something to do." The third prison is where Li Sanshou is serving his sentence. Lao Zeng has opened up the internal link and inserted an insider nicknamed Peacock. Li Chunjiang's own life is also very difficult. At the party group meeting in the morning, Wu Dagong first fired on Li Chunjiang, saying that during the period of his treatment, some people formed cliques and set up private hilltops, which made the stable and united Public Security Bureau difficult. Torn apart, if things go on like this, can the Public Security Bureau still be called the Public Security Bureau? It might as well be called a private detective agency.Then, he called the captains of the institutes who had been dismissed by Qin Mo and Li Chunjiang, and discussed their thoughts one by one at the meeting.This time, the meeting was no longer like a party group meeting, but more like a denunciation meeting and a criticism meeting.Those captains who lost their power and lived in fear for several months finally hoped for a backer and a savior, wishing to pour out the grievances of the past few months like water. Li Chunjiang suddenly became the target of public criticism. That's not to mention, at the next division of labor meeting, Li Chunjiang was drawn out to focus on comprehensive management of social security and the creation of a civilized tourist city.Wu Dagong emphasized that the comprehensive management of social security and the creation of a civilized tourist city are new requirements put forward by the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government. The spirit of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government strives to build Sanhe City into a modern city with social civilization, economic development, people living and working in peace and harmony, and harmonious development of various undertakings. Regarding the anti-drug work, Wu Dagong didn't mention a single word, neither said he would be arrested nor said that he would not be arrested. Li Chunjiang was worried that Wu Dagong would get Pan Caizhang and Wang Fu out before they confessed completely.As soon as the meeting was over, he hurried to Ma Qiming and told about Wu Dagong's performance in the past two days and his worries.Unexpectedly, Ma Qiming said: "Resolutely do according to the division of labor. At this time, what he said is your imperial edict. Do you understand what I mean?" Li Chunjiang shook his head, and couldn't help feeling disappointed with Ma Qiming. "Why, can't you figure it out?" Ma Qiming said with a smile on his face. Li Chunjiang didn't speak, and seemed to be a little distracted.Ma Qiming didn't care about him, and just continued according to his own thoughts: "We should give him the opportunity to fully express himself. The more a person wants to express himself, the more he can expose himself. Chunjiang, you should study human beings carefully." Psychology, it will be good for you to handle the case in the future. Well, I still have a meeting, so go ahead." Just as Li Chunjiang was about to leave, Ma Qiming called him again: "By the way, we have contacted Beijing. You can discuss it with your wife. During this time, go with her and have a thorough inspection." How could Li Chunjiang have the heart to listen to this!Walking out of the municipal party committee compound, he felt more than just grievances and worries: What does Ma Qiming mean by that?Compromise, concession, or plan to give up completely? Pan Caizhang was so excited that he wanted to die!How dangerous, I almost told him.Fortunately, I have a brain, and fortunately I have confidence in Wu Dagong, otherwise, hehe, I dare not think about it! Thinking of the past days, Pan Caizhang felt as if he had taken a trip to Taixu Village. The things in the world were so strange that even he, the old head of An, couldn't believe it.Arresting people without interrogation, serving delicious food and drinks, makes you think, makes you think thoroughly, what kind of case handling is this?If this can also make people speak, what do the police do? Thinking about it again, no, Ma Qiming's trick, let alone you, almost broke yourself. Pan Caizhang gasped. That day, Pan Caizhang was secretly taken into the car, a car with black glass, and the two people who took him did not know each other, and their expressions were as cold as the killers in horror movies.Pan Caizhang thought he was from the underworld at first, and quickly said, "I didn't do anything to offend you, that Liu Dong, I really can't let him go." The other party gave him a cold look and motioned him not to speak.Pan Caizhang was so frightened that he quickly shut up.The car quickly drove out of the urban area and headed for Zilan Mountain.Pan Caizhang thought about it, he might not even be able to keep the whole body, and maybe he would be buried alive on Lazilan Mountain, he had never heard of this, Tong Xiaoniu and the others did it, the one named Crow... Thinking of this, Pan Caizhang shivered suddenly, wishing he could smash the glass and jump out.The younger one held him down and shouted, "Don't move!" Pan Caizhang became honest, but there was nothing he could do about being dishonest. The glass was bulletproof and couldn't be broken at all. Pan Caizhang still had this experience, even if it was broken Yes, but dare to jump? Pan Caizhang timidly stared at the two strangers who looked like visitors from outside the universe, and prayed that they must not be from the underworld, and that they must not be from Tong Baishan, Tong Baishan was no different from the underworld.The car turned around the Zishui River, didn't go up the mountain, and drove straight into a resort called Hillbilly.Only then did Pan Caizhang heave a sigh of relief, now that he was here, it was his own territory, and even if they didn't dare to play the game of killing people and stealing goods. When he was taken to the second-story building in the backyard, Pan Caizhang was dumbfounded. He never imagined that the person sitting here waiting for him was Xiao Tian, ​​the Tian secretary Tian Wenli who he wanted to ask but refused to give him a chance! "Oh, it's Secretary Tian." Pan Caizhang stretched out his hands and walked over enthusiastically. "Please sit down." Secretary Xiaotian said, pointing to a stool opposite. Pan Caizhang was stunned, why let him sit on a stool, isn't there a sofa? "Pan Caizhang, do you know what I'm asking you to do?" Secretary Xiaotian's tone was very calm, but there was clearly a majesty in that calmness. "No... I don't know." "Okay, let me tell you." Secretary Xiaotian stood up, changed his usual quietness, and stared at Pan Caizhang's face without anger, "Pan Caizhang, you should be very clear about what we asked you for, please Tell the truth about what you have done.” "You...you...you are illegally detained!" "Pan Caizhang, we kindly invite you here. Would you like us to send you back and bring you here in a police car?" Oda said, and motioned to the two of them with his eyes. The young man immediately took out an arrest warrant. It has the bright red seal of the Public Security Bureau.However, Pan Caizhang could see clearly that the name on the big seal was not the Sanhe City Public Security Bureau, but... Pan Caizhang was in a daze for a moment, not knowing where that place was. Isn't this the Nanping County where Ma Qiming used to be the secretary of the county party committee? How did they find this place, could it be...Suddenly, Pan Caizhang panicked and frightened, his back pressed against his front, and he collapsed powerlessly on the stool. The two strangers were the criminal police of Nanping County Public Security Bureau. The young one was surnamed Zhang, and the other was older. Secretary Xiaotian called him Team Kang. Seeing that Pan Caizhang was being honest, Secretary Xiaotian said to Captain Kang: "You guys talk, I have to take a step ahead." This time, Ma Qiming did hide from everyone, including the old director Qin Mo. Ma Qiming didn't tell him the truth, he only said that Pan Caizhang was involved in a case and was taken away, and he refused to say a word about it. .It's not that he can't trust anyone, but when he read a document, he suddenly discovered that they had reversed the relationship. He had always thought that Wu Dagong must be the one who controls Pan Caizhang's line.Guess what, the facts reflected in the materials are: Pan Caizhang is the one who weaves this net, and Wu Dagong is just a fish in Pan Caizhang's net, and sometimes he is also controlled by Pan Caizhang. This material reminds him that he must not judge the problem according to conventional thinking, otherwise, he will enter a dead end.Just at this time, he received a call from his former subordinate, the current Nanping county magistrate, saying that some migrant workers in Nanping had been missing for several years, and now they suspected that some force had coerced them into Sanhe and imprisoned them. Nanping police Wanting to do further investigation, I asked Ma Qiming for support. Ma Qiming agreed without hesitation, and just borrowed the strength of the Nanping police to further understand Pan Caizhang and the power that really controlled Pan Caizhang. Of course, he couldn't tell Qin Mo and Li Chunjiang about these things, for fear of causing them to misunderstand, thinking that Nanping's strength was the result of not trusting them. More importantly, he was afraid that Qin Mo would ask where the material came from. As soon as the materials were mentioned, Ma Qiming's heart suddenly darkened. The person who provided the materials was none other than Che Guangyuan, the former political and legal secretary. Speaking of which, there are some twists and turns in this matter. At first, Ma Qiming also had no way to start. He felt that there were clues everywhere, but he felt that it was wrong to catch any one.One day he checked the letters from the masses on the table, and suddenly found a special letter with familiar handwriting. After reading it, he realized that this letter was unusual.This is a person's reflection after a failure, and it is a sorting out of many messy and disorderly clues. This letter mentioned a person: Li Xinran, who said that he regretted not opening the gap from Li Xinran first, which made the problem complicated and trapped in Can't get out of it.Ma Qiming got the inspiration from this letter and decided to take measures against Li Xinran first. The letter was quietly placed on the table by secretary Xiao Tian. At that time, Ma Qiming just pretended not to know, and didn't mention anything to Xiaotian. A few days later, one day after Li Xinran was shuanggui, Ma Qiming suddenly called Xiao Tian and asked him where the letter came from. Secretary Xiaotian hesitated for a while, and said Ji Xiaofei's name. Only then did Ma Qiming decide to meet Ji Xiaofei in person.Ji Xiaofei said that the letter was written by Che Guangyuan, but unfortunately he went in before it was finished.On the day before being taken away, Che Guangyuan called suddenly and asked her to go to his office immediately, saying that he had important things for her.When she rushed to go, the comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection had arrived, and Ji Xiaofei got the letter ahead of her.At that time, Che Guangyuan didn't say anything, but encouraged her with his eyes.When Ji Xiaofei said this, her eye circles suddenly became wet. The material that Ma Qiming is looking at now was given to him by Che Guangyuan himself.After reading the letter, Ma Qiming decided to meet Che Guangyuan. With the help of his old friend, he talked with Che Guangyuan for nearly three hours. written.Ma Qiming was really moved. In this special environment, Che Guangyuan still had the confidence to write these things, which shows how strong his will is.He felt that what was handed over to him was a heavy heart, a great trust, and a responsibility that would not be easily let go. After all, they are both political and legal secretaries. It was thanks to Che Guangyuan's reminder that Ma Qiming quickly sorted out a thought from the chaotic preamble: Pan Caizhang!He gave his secretary Xiao Tian a task, together with Nanping Lao Kang and others, patiently accompanied Pan Caizhang, never forcing him, not interrogating him, and not taking any measures against him except restricting his freedom. This may be a little unreasonable, and it is not in line with the principles of police handling cases.But Ma Qiming believed that this method would work for Pan Caizhang.There are different ways to deal with different people.Pan Caizhang has lived in that kind of place for half his life, and he is more familiar with interrogation than life. You have no special way to make him speak and tell the truth? Pan Caizhang was very nervous and scared at first, especially when he saw the two people in Nanping, his body couldn't help shaking.This thing is terrible, how come the wind and rain also come?Will there be snow in the back?He urgently thought about countermeasures. Fortunately, Pan Caizhang had many countermeasures. He was determined to procrastinate. At this time, he could procrastinate for a day.No matter how powerful your Nanping police are, how can they overturn the sky of Sanhe? Slowly, he calmed down and found that the matter was not that bad, and they didn't seem to have grasped much, otherwise, why didn't they ask?If you don't ask, it will prove that they are just chasing after rumors, or go out of their way.He carefully reviewed all the things he had done, and he was convinced that the clothes were perfect. The few people who squatted inside to earn extra money were much better than part-time workers, and they couldn't find out that they were from Nanping. Pan Caizhang can guarantee this. Why else would it take so long?Why else would people from all over the world want to transfer them to Sanhe whenever something happened?He, Pan Caizhang, has great ability and good reputation, so he came here just because of his reputation. Hehe, Pan Caizhang smiled, and this smile made him smile completely. When he saw Nanping people again, he put on a prestige, a kind of prestige that Sanhe City has towards Nanping County.What is Nanping, a small backward and closed county, can it compare with Sanhe?It also exhibits a kind of momentum, a kind of momentum that has experienced strong winds and waves, and a kind of momentum that controls the universe.Che Guangyuan couldn't get rid of me, Wu Dagong had to listen to me, even Yuan Bo, even Sun Jihai, and even... Haha, you two people from Nanping, what can you do if you say it and scare you to death? Sure enough, the Nanping people were discouraged and disappointed, and didn't even plan to ask him.There is one who has nothing, and only one person stays with him every day, watching TV with him, as if there is no TV in Nanping. The other, Pan Caizhang thinks, must go to another street, and maybe go to Sanhe to find a woman. Of course, the women in Sanhe It is stronger than Nanping.That's right, just put on a show, you've done your work, you've had some fun, and it's so beautiful when you go back and do some business.Nowadays, who still handles cases seriously, only fools are serious, those who are not afraid of death are serious, and those who have no power, power, and benefits can pretend to be serious.If it's good, give me a serious look? Pan Caizhang was very happy, thinking that this day is not bad, and someone will take care of his food and sleep, so he can handle the case outside. Secretary Xiaotian came every day, and he didn't say much when he came, just said: "Don't you want to say?" "Tell me!" Pan Caizhang said angrily.Only now did he realize that the secretary Xiaotian was nothing. He was punished by Che Guangyuan, but now that he was under Ma Qiming's hands, he still wanted to punish him, just because of Ji Xiaofei, this man is really worthless. More than ten days passed in a flash, Pan Caizhang began to wonder, feeling that something was wrong, what was wrong, I couldn't tell, but something was wrong.He couldn't hear anything from outside, and no one came to see him. This was very abnormal and illogical, according to Pan Caizhang's logic.Looking at the two Nanping people again, I feel that the other party is not discouraged, not disappointed, but confident, too confident! Pan Caizhang couldn't bear his temper, so he tentatively said to his secretary Xiaotian: "Can you give me some information? As much as you want, for the sake of being in Sanhe, just a little, okay?" "Okay!" Secretary Oda readily agreed to him.Then, secretary Xiao Tian gave him a letter, big letter. It's okay if you don't see through, Pan Caizhang suddenly jumped up and pointed to secretary Xiaotian's nose: "You're lying, I don't believe it!" Believe it or not.Secretary Oda left the words and went out.Pan Caizhang hugged his head in a slump, feeling a mouthful of phlegm pressing on his heart, unable to vomit for a long time. Secretary Oda tells a terrible truth.On the morning when the Nanping police decided to secretly interrogate Pan Caizhang, at about 7:30, half an hour before work, Ma Qiming suddenly received a phone call, and the other party said in a panic: "Secretary Ma, someone is going to murder Pan Caizhang. At the intersection under the detention center." Ma Qiming was about to ask who the other party was, but the phone had already hung up.Time didn't allow him to think too much, so Ma Qiming immediately called Team Kang, asking him to hurry to the detention center, stop Pan Caizhang before the crossroads, and take him away safely.Then, he called Lao Zeng and asked him to pretend to be Pan Caizhang to find out who was going to do it at the crossroads. That morning, the Kang team and the others acted swiftly. The moment the Kang team and the others took Pan Caizhang into the car, an astonishing scene happened at the crossroads. Old Zeng, who was pretending to be Pan Caizhang to work, was about to cross the crossroads. The processing factory came flying towards Lao Zeng. If Lao Zeng hadn't taken precautions, the catastrophe would have been unavoidable, blood and flesh would have been flying everywhere, and he would die on the street.Just when Lao Zeng rolled over several times, dodged the crazy motorcycle and then drew his gun to shoot, a lumber truck drove out of the lumber factory, blocking his sight. From then on, Pan Caizhang always had that motorcycle in his mind. Tong Baishan, the chairman of Baishan Group, called Wu Dagong and said that he had made an appointment with some friends and wanted to congratulate Director Wu, and asked Director Wu to show his face. After putting down the phone for a long time, Wu Dagong was still hesitating.To go or not to go?In his heart, Wu Dagong was afraid of seeing Tong Baishan, and he didn't want to have too much to do with him. He always adhered to a principle, as little contact as possible, and it was better not to contact him if possible.But this can only be wishful thinking, the fact is that sometimes he can't hide.Especially at this moment, Wu Dagong doesn't want to see Tong Baishan even more. Most of the leading cadres in Sanhe, as long as you eat Tong Baishan's, your tongue will not deteriorate. On this point, he complained to his wife Tang Ping, feeling that she did not understand him.Tang Ping always thinks everything too subjectively, thinking that thoughts can determine actions, Wu Dagong hated in his heart: Come and try, put you in this position, if you can go without food for a day, I will obey you. not going?Right now, there are some things that need to be discussed with him.Wu Dagong thought about it, and finally decided to go to the banquet. The banquet was scheduled to be held in a newly opened hotel in Sanhe. The reason why Tong Baishan didn't choose his own place was probably because he was afraid that Wu Dagong might have some concerns.Wu Dagong pushed open the door, and saw three people sitting in the private room, Tong Baishan, Sun Jihai's secretary Xiao Zeng, and the other almost made Wu Dagong slam the door and leave. It’s true that you can fear anything, and the person you don’t want to see the most will appear in front of you at a critical moment! Wu Dagong was still hesitating whether he wanted to accompany him on this battlefield, but Yuan Xiaoan, who was on the sofa, had already got up and walked over with a smile: "Hello, Director Wu." Wu Dagong ignored it and walked in with a stiff expression. Tong Baishan was a little embarrassed for a while, but soon he laughed and laughed: "I'm sorry, Old Wu, Xiaoan just arrived. I heard that you have been promoted, so I came here to congratulate you." "No need!" Wu Dagong said stubbornly.As soon as the three of them were together, it was clear that nothing good happened. Yuan Xiaoan didn't care about Wu Dagong's attitude at all. After all, he was a person who had been on the scene for a long time, and he had seen a lot of hot faces rubbing cold butts.He laughed off Wu Dagong's arrogance and rudeness. "I'm sorry, Director Wu, I just went abroad, and it's only been a few days since I came back. I didn't know about your promotion until Boss Tong." Wu Dagong snorted and thought: Where were you when I was fidgeting in the provincial capital?I am safe now, and you are back from abroad.Seeing Yuan Xiaoan offering him a cigarette, he took out his own cigarette and lit one. Seeing that something was wrong, Xiao Zeng hurried to the playground: "Old Wu, we are all friends, don't be so mean, you should be happier." The meal was stiff.Wu Dagong is such a person. He is very emotional. When he is happy, he doesn't care how stinky he is. If he is unhappy, even if you have all kinds of skills, it will be difficult to get rid of the knot in his heart.In the middle of the meal, Tong Baishan saw that the smell was not right, and gave Xiao Zeng a wink, meaning to ask Xiao Zeng to enlighten Wu Dagong, but Xiao Zeng also got stronger.Xiao Zeng had a heated relationship with Yuan Xiaoan recently, and he already owned shares in Yuan Xiaoan's company, so of course he took Yuan Xiaoan more seriously in his heart.As for Wu Dagong, no matter how much the bullet ricocheted, it was still in Sun Jihai's hands, just as it was in his Xiao Zeng's hands.Seeing that Wu Dagong didn't give Yuan Xiaoan face so much, Xiao Zeng said suddenly: "Old Wu, you have to be kind, but don't step on the ladder when you climb into the room. Brothers don't take advantage of anyone. If you really can't let go of the director Shelf, you can go, so as not to spoil everyone's excitement!" How could Wu Dagong bear this, he put down his chopsticks with a slap, turned around and left without even looking at Xiao Zeng.Tong Baishan wanted to stop him, but Xiao Zeng said coldly, "Let him go. If he walks out of this door today, if something happens to him in the future, don't think about the brothers taking care of him again." Wu Dagong's steps froze suddenly. Sometimes it's hard to be a human being, and it's even harder to be a man with backbone.In fact, Wu Dagong and Xiao Zeng are not friends at all, and they are farther away from the word brother.There are many prerequisites for being a friend, the key one is to stand the test of time, but in the officialdom, people with a certain aura can be called friends when they gather together, and they must behave intimately and chivalrously.This point, Wu Dagong himself can't do it first, he hates this kind of smell in his heart, he hates this kind of intimacy, he likes distance, likes whether water is water or fish is fish, and blends together when needed, and maintains their own independence on weekdays, and is absolute independence. is it possible?Wu Dagong himself couldn't explain it clearly. After holding on for so many years, in the end, Tang Ping still scolded him in a mess, saying that he made no distinction between enemies and friends, and made the situation very passive. Tong Baishan didn't say anything that day, how could he speak on such an occasion?After finally surviving the dinner, he claimed that he had something to do, paid the bill and left in panic.Xiao Zeng put his arms around Yuan Xiaoan's neck, and said he was going to sing in Shanghai.Only Wu Dagong sat blankly in the private room for a long time, feeling as if he was being fed maggots. When she got home, Tang Ping looked cold.This is what he thought of beforehand.Although this time he turned the danger into a bargain and became the police chief as he wished, but his relationship with his wife Tang Ping slipped into a dangerous situation.Tang Ping stubbornly believed that Wu Dagong had lied to her.Over the years, for Wu Dagong, Tang Ping has devoted herself to everything, and this time even... But Wu Dagong, he actually hid such important things from her, and lied to her about so many people and things.How could Tang Ping accept it!This time, she made up her mind not to forgive him. Wu Dagong was stunned at the door, and walked over gently. At this moment, he wanted to hold his wife in his arms and tell him the pain in his heart.Even though he knew that Tang Ping hated and despised him, he still wanted to tell his wife what was in his heart. After going through this blow, he finally understood that his wife was better at critical times.Only the wife can devote herself wholeheartedly to him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand, Tang Ping bounced away suddenly, grabbed the cushion on the sofa, and blocked his hand, "You don't touch me, you can't touch me without my permission from now on." Wu Dagong's hands froze in the air, as if he had been shocked by an electric shock, and he couldn't find his way. For a long time, I fell with despair. Ye Zihe refused to go to Beijing, no matter how Li Chunjiang did his job, it was useless. "Chunjiang, don't make trouble anymore, just let me stay in Sanhe and accompany you and Dodo, okay?" Li Chunjiang wanted to cry but had no tears, she said everything she had to say, Ye Zihe just couldn't listen, she seemed to have made up her mind, not going anywhere, just like this, slowly stopping the pace of life while staying together. Zheng Yuan comforted him: "Don't be too sad, you know that Zihe is worried about you, Sanhe's situation is complicated now, and your situation is so difficult, how can she bear to burden you again?" "But……" "Don't worry, let's find a way together. Besides, it doesn't have to be good to go to Beijing. The important thing is to give her confidence, understand? Confidence!" In the evening, Li Chunjiang asked Duoduo and Taozi to go to bed, and gave the nurse Yulan a holiday. On this summer night, he wanted to be alone with his wife.After returning to Sanhe, Ye Zihe received daily intravenous drip in addition to chemotherapy as prescribed.Looking at the dripping liquid, Li Chunjiang's heart was wet again and again, and he couldn't help stretching out his hand to hold Ye Zihe's thin hand. "Zi He." He called out. Ye Zihe smiled, and when she came back from the provincial capital, Ye Zihe's smile suddenly became brighter, it was no longer as bitter and forced as it was just after the operation, but a knowing and natural smile, she was touched, she was satisfied, and she was still smiling. What is more touching than enjoying the meticulous care of loved ones?Her hand squirmed, squirming in her husband's palm, and she would rather just enjoy every day, every minute, and not think about the future. "Chunjiang, when I get better, can you accompany me to see the sea?" "Yes, Zihe, as soon as you leave the hospital, we will go. We live by the sea, no, sit on the beach, no, we simply jump into the sea and let the waves beat us..." The more Li Chunjiang said, the more excited he became , the heart seems to have flown to the seaside with the words. It is ashamed to say that they are all middle-aged, and their life is so hasty, as if their foreheads are covered with wrinkles in the blink of an eye. However, the wish they made at the beginning has not been realized so far.The two of them had never seen the sea, nor heard the endless waves. "Chun Jiang, do you still remember the night we made our wish?" "Remember, how can you not remember?" Li Chunjiang's heart flew to the distant past. It was not long after he and Ye Zihe fell in love. Once when Li Chunjiang went to Dunhuang, Ye Zihe insisted on going together, and the two jumped west. In the scorching heat wave of summer, the train passed through the Gobi and crossed the thousands of miles of desert. The two people's eyes were attracted by the majestic and desolate desert, and they were shocked by the spectacle of the sunset and solitary smoke.When they arrived in Dunhuang, before Li Chunjiang finished his work, Ye Zihe clamored to see the Crescent Moon Spring. The desert wind at night beat their bodies, and the endless sand waves shook their ears. The two hugged and sat shyly. Beside the Crescent Moon Spring, love is like a bright blue crescent moon, dancing under the blue starry sky.That night, Li Chunjiang made a wish, saying that when he was free, he would accompany Ye Zihe to see the sea, just sit by the sea, listen to the waves, watch the waves... In the ward, the couple in distress sometimes laughed and sometimes worried. The past years and future days seemed to turn into scorching heat waves in summer, surrounding them for a long time.Li Chunjiang finally accepted the reality and stopped forcing Ye Zihe to go to Beijing.The next day, Hou Jie, the newly appointed director of the detention center, reported: "Recently, Liu Dong and Tong Xiaoniu are acting strangely. They don't fight or make trouble. They are as good as brothers." "Is there such a thing?" Li Chunjiang felt very strange. These two had been fighting to death, why did they stop fighting all of a sudden? “还有啥异常？”“刘冬这家伙，像是很神秘，他把号子里那些跟童小牛好的，全都练到了手上，整天嘀嘀咕咕，不知搞啥阴谋。” “那个姓彭的找过你没？” "No." 这就怪了，姓彭的不是一直想把刘冬弄出去吗？怎么突然间没了动静？李春江觉得这是个信号，难道姓彭的跟吴达功有了联系，或是…… “继续留心，千万别让他们在号子里弄出什么事。” “是。”侯杰领命而去，李春江却是一肚子不解。要说吴达功上任也有些时日了，怎么不过问童小牛的事？还有童百山，当初把童小牛丢进去，也是李钰硬找的茬，事后才知是马其鸣的主意。但是童百山为啥这么放心，丝毫不插手儿子的事？联想到童百山最近在市里的诸多表现，他觉得这位企业家正在上演一场戏，一场遮人耳目的戏。就在昨天，童百山突然向市里五家特困企业提出援助计划，说要拿出五千万元帮助这些企业进行技术改造，并且公开向社会承诺，赶在今冬明春之前，解决五百名下岗职工的再就业。此举一出，社会反响强烈，今早他还在新闻里听到记者采访童百山的报道哩。 正怔想着，老曾进来了，神神秘秘说：“那小子又来了。” “在哪？”李春江一听他说小四儿，马上警觉起来。 “刚到三河，不过这一次，很有来头，还跟着不少身份不明的人。” “调查了没，什么来头？” “还没来得及。他到三河便让童百山的人接走了。” “童百山？” “除了他，还能有谁！” “现在在哪儿？” “住进了军分区接待处。” 李春江紧着的心猛提到嗓子眼上，军分区接待处，这可是个不好插手的地方。 “放心，我的内线已打了进去，随时会有消息。”老曾诡谲地一笑，这才把底交给了李春江。 李春江长出一口气，他真是感激这个死党。虽说老曾嘴上牢骚不断，可到要紧处，脑子却十分清醒。 “你继续监视，我马上跟马书记汇报。” “不行啊，姓吴的让我去外调，马上走。这么着吧，我把内线的手机号给你，你设法跟他联系。”说着，老曾快快写给李春江一个号，这时，楼道里响起催老曾的声音，是奉命一同外调的人喊他。 没办法，李春江拿上手机号，紧着去见马其鸣。刚到市委门口，就接到吴达功电话，要他火速赶往吴水县，吴水刚刚发生一起银行抢劫案，劫匪开枪打死两名银行职员，抢走现金八十多万。 "what?" 案情就是命令，李春江顾不上多想，当下就往吴水赶。等赶到吴水，现场已被封锁，被抢的是吴水汽车站东边一家储蓄所，边上是吴水最大的批发市场。现场四周挤满了群众，防暴警察已隔开一条封锁线。郑源也在现场，他跟李春江汇报，劫匪一共三人，一名留在车上，两名佯装取款，进去后便冲工作人员鸣枪，当时储蓄所有三人上班，办理业务的储户有五个人。劫匪实施抢劫时，会计宁秀兰试图报警，被劫匪当场打死，另一名死者是劫匪逃离现场时开的枪。劫匪得手后，跳上越野三菱，朝省城方向逃了。大约情况就这些，详情正在调查。 “抢劫了多少？”郑源说完，李春江问。 “说是一百二十多万，具体数字现在还搞不清。” “不是八十多万吗，怎么又成了一百二十万？”李春江问负责现场指挥的吴水公安局长。 “案件刚发时，说是抢了一储户刚刚存进的八十万，调查当中发现，储蓄所库存的四十万也抢了。” 正说着，马其鸣赶到了现场，此时已是上午十一时十五分，离劫匪逃走大约一小时。马其鸣简单问了些情况，马上命令李春江，兵分两路，一路做善后，一路全力追捕劫匪。 “9·15”银行抢劫案指挥领导小组迅速成立，李春江亲任组长，除了吴水公安局已经做出的快速反应外，李春江又命令，马上通知各基层派出所，在吴水及邻县一带布网，以防劫匪中途弃车，混入乡下。同时，他向省厅请示增援，要求立即封锁车站、机场等交通要道。 另一路人马也在迅速展开调查。两名死者已送往医院，暂时停放在太平间，幸存者车站储蓄所主任王通达被带到公安局，配合调查。早上九时十五分从该储蓄所往上海服装厂打款的个体老板茂世才也被隔离，当时在场的几名储户被一一带到指定地点。 一场围歼战已经打响。 与此同时，三河军分区接待处，小四儿跟童百山的较量也在展开。 小四儿这次回来的身份令童百山目瞪口呆。当他揣着忐忑不安的心走进接待处时，脑子里还在想刚刚接到的电话。电话说要他听从来人的吩咐，只管照着去做就行，可千万别拿来人不当回事。上楼时他还闷闷的，到底来的是何方神仙，怎么三河的空气突然间变得紧张？一推门，他的眼珠子惊得差得没跳出来。 一身戎装很威风地坐在红木沙发椅上的，竟是小四儿！ 见他进来，门口两个保镖很快朝里锁上门，屋子里的气氛顿然让人紧张，一股杀气倏地冒出来。先头赶来迎接的保镖铁手冷着脸向他介绍：“童老板，这位是四哥。” “四哥？”童百山惊得差点没跌倒。 这些年，四哥的名字如雷贯耳，道上的兄弟们闻之色变，绝没想到，他竟是小四儿！ 童百山也是反应快，脑子里只那么一转悠，马上陪着笑脸道：“四哥，对不住，童某有眼无珠，这些年得罪了。” 小四儿冷冷一笑，摆手道：“算了，提那些事恶心，你坐吧。” 铁手给他搬过一张凳子。 童百山望了一眼铁手，眨眼功夫，铁手的神色就变得不像以往了。小四儿说：“铁手我留下了，就算侍候我几天，你不会有意见吧？”童百山赶忙道：“哪，哪，只要四哥乐意，要谁都行。”说着，眼神恶恶盯了铁手一下：这个吃里扒外的狼！ 铁手无动于衷，好像先前并不认识童百山。 一看这阵势，童百山真是又来气又败兴，想想不久前，小四儿还让自己玩得团团转，甚至想让老木一伙做掉他，眨眼间，他竟成了四哥！老大到底唱的是哪出戏！心里这么想着，脸上却始终保持着微笑。 “我这次来是奉老大之命，想必你也接到电话。”小四儿顿了一下，童百山赶忙称是。 小四儿接着说：“眼下情况紧急，你我要携起手来。”说着，猛地站起，用道上的口气命令道，“眼下你必须做好两件事，一是尽快打听到老九的下落，看他被姓李的藏在哪儿，一有消息，立刻通知我。” 老九便是范大杆子，从落网到现在，谁也不知道李春江将他关在什么地方。 “另一件事，老大命你，尽快想办法灭掉李家父子，这两个留着是祸根。上次你没做好，老大并没怪你，这次怕是……” 童百山直觉脊背里嗖嗖冒冷气，强撑着说了声对不起。就听小四儿又说“这次一定要干净利落，要借他们的手除掉这两个人，到时就有他们好看了。” 这天中午，童百山不知道自己是怎么离开军分区接待处的，脑子里像是叫人灌了水，一团胀。想想刚才发生的事，真是又憋气又窝囊。自己在三河也是数一数二的人物，却让小四儿这样的垃圾唬得团团转。更可气的是那个叫铁手的，本以为他是死心塌地为自己卖命，谁知竟是小四儿安插在自己身边的眼线。他妈的，太可恨了！童百山恨不得一脚把三河城踢翻，但是一想老大，他的心立刻凉下来。老大这样做，分明是对他有了看法，有了不信任……以后的日子，怕是…… 小四儿正是神秘鬼怪、风影难捉的四哥。 对他的真实身份，道上几乎没几个人知道。但对四哥这个大号，只要道上踩过一脚的，莫不肃然生畏。why?传说中四哥不但神出鬼没，让人常常摸不准他在哪儿，但是你的一举一动，休想瞒过他的眼。只要被他盯上，你休想做成一件有背道上的事，否则，暴尸街头就是你的下场。而且，四哥眼线密匝，手眼通天，你根本弄不清谁是四哥的人，上至老大，还有那些地方官、军中人士，下至骑三轮、踏自行车收羊皮的，都有可能是四哥的密友，所以四哥要想除你，根本用不着自己动手，只需咳嗽一声，你便神不知鬼不觉地消失了。 道上关于四哥的传闻，远远大于老大，都说老大这张网其实是四哥一手编织的，老大的今天，一大半功劳在四哥。但是四哥绝不居功自傲，既不贪财也不贪色，而且常常会在暗中资助道上的小人物，在你被仇家逼得走投无路时，他会神秘地出现，救你于黑暗之中；在你穷困潦倒时，他会倾其所有，帮你找一条活路。所以，四哥的名字总是与敬畏和可爱搅在一起，让人觉得踩到这道上也不失为一件好事。 但是，没有哪个人会愚蠢地将四哥跟小四儿扯上关系。小四儿算什么呀，整个一混混，一皮条客。这人游手好闲，不务正业，无家无业，终日像流浪在街头的一条狗，像飘在风中的一粒尘。谁都可以欺负他，谁都可以使唤他，看不顺眼了，还可以伸手揍他。就连童小牛的手下阿黑，也常常拿他当马仔，要不是看他人机灵，脑子好使，偶尔还能办成点事，怕连阿黑也不拿他当人看。 小四儿这次之所以露出庐山真面目，是老大觉得三河危险，需要派个人好好整治一下。道上的人都清楚，三河是老大的根据地、大本营，哪儿都可以不太平，三河不能。三河一出事，老大这艘巨轮就要沉船。 “你要下点狠，必要的时候，可以牺牲几个人，”老大跟小四儿这样交待，“同时，你也把自己的事儿了结一下。” 小四儿知道，老大说的是他跟刘玉英的事。 一提刘玉英，小四儿的心暗下来。 这天下午，市医院里出现一个收破烂的老头，老头挨着楼层收上来，碰见患者扔下的饮料瓶就捡，在三楼，值班护士让他把楼道里的垃圾袋拿走，说给他一块钱。老头接过一块钱，背着垃圾袋往楼道另一头走，经过刘玉英病房时，老头伸出脖子，朝里巴了一眼。刘玉英半躺在床上，手里捧本书，案头那盆黄色的菊花开得正艳。老头拉过一小护士，刚要从怀里掏什么，猛见李钰出现在楼口。老头脚步匆匆地消失了。 下午四点，就在李钰离开医院几分钟后，刘玉英收到一束花，送花的小女孩说，是一位老人托她送来的。看见黄色的康乃馨，刘玉英目光一震，忙问女孩：“老头呢？”小女孩说：“他给了我五十块钱，背着垃圾袋走了。” 刘玉英抱着花，感觉一股温暖涌向全身。 童百山像热锅上的蚂蚁，急得团团转。两天过去了，可关于老九，一点信儿也没。派出去的人一拨拨回来，都说打听不到。真是怪了，从范大杆子被抓那天，他就四处派人打听，没想李春江能瞒得如此严实。 “再去找，我就不信他有障眼术！”他冲手下吼。这时，秘书进来说，有个叫胡哥的求见。童百山眼一亮：“人呢，快带他进来。” 胡哥三十多岁，留着小胡子，穿着名牌T恤，看上去精神极了。打过招呼，胡哥说：“上次你托我打听的人，总算打听到了，他没消失，也没让啥人带走，你猜怎么着？”胡哥说着把目光对住童百山。 童百山哪还有猜的闲心，一摆手道：“你快说，眼下催债的多，我哪有闲功夫猜。” “怎么，你又欠债了？” “陈年老账，还不完。”说着，目光猴急地盯住胡哥。 胡哥也不卖关子，压低声音道：“他就关在本市，乡巴佬度假村，你我都让他们耍了。” “啥？”童百山骂了句脏话，扔给胡哥一支烟，看得出，这个消息越发破坏了他的心情。 “是想让他出来还是……？”胡哥点上烟，问。 “算了，眼下顾不上他，就让他多活几天。这么着吧，你再帮我个忙，打听一下老九的下落。” “老九？”胡哥露出一脸不解。童百山只好说出范大杆子这个名。一听范大杆子，胡哥马上摇头：“童老板你别开玩笑，这事我可做不了，就打听姓潘的，你猜我费了多大功夫？知道吗，带他走的不是三河这条线上的，是马其鸣的老家人，南平。” 童百山顾不上听这些，他的心思已完全集中在范大杆子身上。见胡哥还在摇头，转身从抽屉里拿出一沓钱，硬撑出一副笑：“胡哥，就当帮我老童一把，我手下这些饭桶，除了吃我的喝我的，要紧处一点用场派不上，你还是再费点神吧。相信有你胡哥出面，没玩不转的。”说着，将钱递到胡哥手上。胡哥也不推辞，顺手塞进包里：“好吧，我试试看，不过你别抱太大指望，姓范的犯的是掉头的事，打听他不容易。” “知道，知道。”童百山接连打哈哈，但心里却有了底，只要姓胡的收了钱，就不会不给他个交待。 胡哥起身告辞，童百山顺势说：“上次你说那事，快成了，下次常委会研究，你就等好消息吧。” 胡哥一脸笑，愉快地走了。 送走胡哥，童百山长长舒口气，躺在沙发上，刚想放松一阵儿，副总老黑敲门进来说袁小安要过来，现在就在路上。“他来做什么？”“没说，可能知道四哥的事了吧。”副总老黑说。“他从哪儿知道，你跟他说的？”童百山猛地起身，瞪住副总老黑。“没，没，这次我真没说……”副总老黑吓得往后缩。“你要是再敢乱说，我割掉你的舌头，你信不信？”童百山的目光像是要活吞了老黑，副总老黑吓得气都不敢喘。 “你去打发他，就说我不在。”副总老黑刚要溜，童百山又喝住他。“对了，上次要你打点小侯的事，马上停下来，没我的话，以后少跟条子们来往，眼下乱，你我都得留点神。” 副总老黑一走，童百山的心又烦乱起来，袁小安这次来，也是为了范大杆子，但他不是为人，是为货。范大杆子出事时吞了他一批货，这货老大好像不知道，是袁小安从别的道上进的，没想让范大杆子给吞了。袁小安咽不下这气，那可不是一笔小数目，值他袁小安半条命。再者，怕老大闻到风声，要掉他的命。 瘟神们全冲他而来，童百山真是不知该如何招架。 吴水县内，“9·15”大案正在加紧侦破，此案已引起省厅高度重视，省厅要求限期破案，迅速缉拿劫匪。李春江已两天没合眼了，案情已有点眉目，但劫匪至今还没消息。 据初步侦查，这很可能是一起有预谋有计划的抢劫案。一则，劫匪之所以选择在汽车站储蓄所做案，一定是知道那一天上午将有一笔巨款进入该储蓄所，否则劫匪绝不会冒这么大险，去抢一个在吴水根本排不上名的小储蓄所。其二，案发时间跟个体老板茂世才打款的时间只差几分钟，当时茂世才刚刚离开储蓄所，钱还堆在桌柜上，没来得及封存。可以断定，劫匪一定知道茂世才存款的准确时间。第三，劫匪进去便鸣枪，不符合常规。大多抢劫案劫匪都是先控制场面，不到迫不得已时绝少开枪。第四，另一名死者年仅十八岁的储蓄员小秋是在劫匪完全得手打算离开时开枪打死的，这一点，趴在地下的储户老耿正好看了个清，他再三说：“人都要走了，又转过头开枪，这帮狗日的，真是太没人性。”从以上几点分析，储蓄所主任王通达和个体老板茂世才都有重大嫌疑，不能排除里通外合的可能。 涉及本案的重大疑团还有两点，一是枪从何来，现场留下的子弹是六四式手枪的，据储户老耿说，进来的两个劫匪都拿着枪，都开了。两把六四式手枪，决非一般人能弄到。再就是车，当时现场混乱，没有人能记下车号，只看到是一辆越野三菱。 李春江已向吴水警方下令，同时跟全省各县市公安局求助，先从车查起，看有没有三菱车被劫或被盗。枪支的线索，也正在查找。 次日中午，李春江接到追捕者的消息，说是在离吴水四十公里的地方发现遗弃的三菱越野车，车子飞进山崖，摔成一堆废铁。 “有没有发现死尸？”李春江紧问。 “没有，现场找不到别的线索，劫匪很可能朝青海方向逃了。” 电话那边紧跟着说：“车子摔下去的地方，正是吴水跟青海的交界处，一座尚未开发的风景区，人迹罕至，四周是茫茫的山野和密密的灌木。” 没想到劫匪会跑上那条山道。 “马上发动当地牧民，沿山搜索。”那边刚说了声是，李春江紧跟着补充，“一定要注意安全，告诉大家，劫匪手里有枪。” 隔了不到半小时，跟三河毗邻的昌市传来消息，三天前昌市发生过一起劫车案，两名歹徒打伤车主，抢走一辆三菱。车主当时是去沙漠打猎，被打昏后扔在了窟井里，今天才得救。 既然车是在昌市抢的，凶手很可能就是昌市人。李春江请求昌市公安协助，看能不能查到更多线索。 对王通达和茂世才的调查也在加紧。王通达三十二岁，吴水人，大学毕业，是银行的业务骨干，去年受命开办这家储蓄所，银行上下对他反映很好。王通达本人也对这次突发事件深表震惊，对不幸遇难的两位同事更是万分哀痛。调查当中，他时不时泪流满面，哭得说不出话。但是在对死者宁秀兰的丈夫调查时，他无意中说了一句话，半个月前宁秀兰曾跟他悄悄说，她怎么看着王主任跟小秋不对劲？当时他还骂宁秀兰多嘴，人家小秋才十八，刚从学校出来，少给人家乱说。 这话引起李春江警觉，他本来就对王通达心存疑惑，莫非……当下他便命令，马上对王通达的妻子展开调查。谁知王通达的妻子矢口否认，坚决不承认跟丈夫有感情问题，一再强调，他们很恩爱，丈夫绝不可能做背叛她的事。 王通达妻子的表现让李春江心里有了底，感情这东西，越是强调，越是有问题。身为人夫的李春江深深懂得，真正的恩爱是不用强调的，它融在夫妻的血脉中，融在点点滴滴中。 “秘密就在她嘴里，掏也要掏出来！”李春江的把握越来越大。 接着调查，发现王通达跟茂世才关系很密。茂世才是吴水批发市场的服装大户，每天发货量能抵过其他个体老板的三倍还多。茂世才做这门生意，得到过王通达不少支持，有资金上的，也有其他方面的。茂世才常常拉王通达去喝酒，偶尔也送时装给王通达。有个体户认出，死者小秋身上穿的，正是茂世才前些日子发的货。 几点联系起来，案情似乎越来越明晰。 就在李春江为找到突破点暗自兴奋的时候，一个电话突然打到他手机上，说有人要夜袭红磨坊。 打电话的正是老曾安排进去的内线。 李春江担心的事终于发生。当他接到吴达功电话，得悉吴水发生特大抢劫案时，心里曾闪过一个念头：会不会是对方故意制造事端，想调开他，然后在另一个地方下手？这个念头只是闪
