Chapter 66 sixty six

"The matter is very important, but if there is a slight mistake, have you considered the consequences? I, as the director, have to bear full responsibility! How can I act rashly?" Director Jin was really emotional, and he paused for a while when he said this After a while, he calmed down his excitement, and then said: "You are here to make all preparations. If there are any new instructions from the provincial and municipal leaders, I will call you immediately. Old Ma, you can make arrangements here first." , and then rush to Secretary Zhang as soon as possible." Director Jin left, and there was silence in the office, so quiet that it was almost scary.

The quartz clock ticked relentlessly.Fang Yulin's face was ashen, and he sat there like a wooden man.Deputy Director Ma made a "cha" sound, lit a cigarette, took two puffs silently, and raised his head: "What's the matter, have you been beaten by Shuang?" Cigarettes in the case.Deputy Director Ma opened his hand: "What do you smoke?!" Fang Yulin went to the water purifier, poured a glass of cold water, drank a couple of gulps, and suddenly put down the glass: "We'll just wait Go?" Guo Qiang said, "Then what else can we do?" Fang Yulin smiled bitterly and said, "Yeah, thinking about it from the standpoint of the Gold Bureau, he can only do this. However, the Gold Bureau told us to get ready. We have to prepare!"

Guo Qiang said, "He told us to stay here." Fang Yulin said: "Is he so clear? He didn't say that he had to wait in this office..." Guo Qiang still wants to argue with him. Deputy Director Ma immediately made a stern gesture to stop their argument, and then asked Fang Yulin: "What's the best way?" Fang Yulin said: "At least, we should send someone to the airport immediately. As soon as there is news from the Gold Bureau, we can take action nearby. In addition, we should send someone to Zhou Mi's house to have a look. My intuition tells me that the gun Probably still."

Deputy Director Ma said: "I have already sent someone to Zhou Mi's home to pick up the dictionary. You two hurry up and bring the person and all the necessary procedures, and go to the airport to wait." The three people were talking, and the comrade sent to Zhou Mi's house to pick up the dictionary called to report: "Ju Ma, there is a situation. We went to Zhou Mi's house just now..." "Did you get the things?" Deputy Director Ma asked hurriedly . "We didn't go in..." "What's going on?" Deputy Director Ma asked anxiously. "It seems that someone rushed to his house before us..." The comrade who went to pick up the dictionary said in a police car "disguised" as an ordinary car downstairs from Zhou Mi's house.

"Who? Is it Zhou Mi?" Deputy Director Ma asked hurriedly. "No. Seems like a pretty young lesbian..." "Young lesbian?" Fang Yulin was startled: "Could it be Ding Jie?" Deputy Director Ma immediately concluded: "Very likely." Fang Yulin's heart was pounding: "Shall I go and see?" Deputy Director Ma said: "No, you two should hurry to the airport for surveillance, and I will make arrangements there." At this time, the members of the visiting delegation who arrived at the airport waiting hall earlier and some officials who came to see him off were also in a hurry.Everyone who should have arrived has arrived, but the deputy mayor Zhou, who is the head of the delegation, has not arrived yet. Received a call from him 10 minutes ago saying he had left.But 10 minutes later, he called again, saying he "may be a little late."

An official looked up at the electronic display on the wall.At this time, the time marked on the card is 6:45. 6:45.Zhou Mi's house.Because all the curtains in the room were tightly drawn down, the room was extremely dark and quiet.Ding Jie gently pushed open the door of that room.A big cat jumped out of the room, startling her - where did it come from?Zhou Mi usually doesn't keep cats.She felt that this omen was quite unlucky, so she had to stand for a while to calm down her pounding heart, and then called out softly and tentatively: "Is anyone there?" No one agreed. She raised her voice a little and called out again: "Is anyone there?"

Still no answer. She fumbled to turn on the light.Everything in the house was covered with white cloth and old newspapers.Standing in the middle of the living room, she quietly recalled where she saw those two dictionaries that day.She didn't want to search blindly, she knew the plane hadn't taken off yet, and what could happen could still happen.She had to find those two dictionaries quickly, and let Fang Yulin and the others make the final decision.After the last phone call with Fang Yulin yesterday, she felt much calmer.Although she still doesn't know exactly what happened to Zhou Mi, let alone how it happened to him, but something must have happened to him, which seems beyond doubt.Guns...he actually has something to do with "guns"..."12.18" murder?Why?She wants to figure it out.She wants to help Fang Yulin.She walked towards the direction she had confirmed.Finally, on top of a pile of old newspapers, I found the two big dictionaries.She came prepared and brought a plastic bag with her.She had just put two large dictionaries into plastic bags when she suddenly heard a sound behind her.She was startled, and hurriedly turned around to look, only to see Zhou Mi, dressed as if going out, standing behind her and staring at her blankly.She almost fainted from fright, and the plastic bag fell from her hand.

For a moment Ding Jie didn't know what to say, she just asked: "You...you... Why didn't you leave? " Zhou Mi bent down to pick up the heavy plastic bag, then slowly sat down on a chair, and said, "I'm also here to pick up these two big dictionaries." The key just came back.I have decided not to come back, and the key should be taken back. Ding Jie didn't try to grab the two big dictionaries from him. "I'm sorry...I have to go to work..." she said flusteredly. Zhou Mi said calmly, "Don't go!" Ding Jie was taken aback. "Keys," he said suddenly.

Ding Jie hurriedly took out the key and put it on the table. Zhou Mi smiled wryly and said: "It shouldn't have ended like this..." He shook his head in pain, sat silently for a while, then suddenly raised his head again, raised his face very severely, and yelled: "I didn't It should end like this!!" Ten minutes later, Deputy Director Ma received a report: "Someone came out of Zhou Mi's house..." Deputy Director Ma hurriedly asked, "Who?" The scout said: "It seems to be careful..." Deputy Director Ma said, "Impossible. He should have already arrived at the airport by this time."

The scout said, "It must be him. He got in the car and left. Do you want to follow him?" Deputy Director Ma hurriedly asked: "Where's that young lesbian? Didn't you come down with him?" The scout said, "I didn't see it, maybe it's still in his room. Do you want to go up and have a look?" Deputy Director Ma ordered loudly: "Go upstairs and have a look." Why didn't the two scouts who were watching downstairs see Zhou Mi go upstairs? How did Zhou Mi escape their surveillance and slip through the net and go upstairs under their noses?It has remained a mystery to this day.

Fang Yulin and others drove to the airport, and there was not much time left. After the control was completed, the boarding time was approaching.Not long after, the announcement to inform passengers to board the plane sounded in the waiting hall.But at this time, Zhou Mi hadn't arrived yet.Fang Yulin and Guo Qiang exchanged glances.Guo Qiang approached the VIP room with two people.Fang Yulin took the other two people and walked quickly to the departure hall. The government officials and members of the visiting delegation who came to see him off were extremely anxious.There was another thing that made them feel uneasy. It was originally promised that Secretary Qin would see them off, but he suddenly informed them that he was not coming without explaining any reason.At this time, a big black Audi drove slowly towards the entrance.When it passed by the police car waiting at the entrance of the airport, a scout called out: "Zhou Mi is here!" Fang Yulin rushed to the window to look outside.It can be recognized from the license plate number that this is Zhou Wei's car. "Dongyaoguai (017), the target is reached. Dongyaoguai, the target is reached." He immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and reported the situation to Guo Qiang who was waiting in front of the VIP room.When Zhou Mi hurriedly strode towards the VIP room, a scout anxiously looked at his watch.It's 8 o'clock sharp.A large group of officials and members of the visiting delegation who had been waiting almost "desperately" changed their expressions and went forward, holding Zhou Mi's hand, and said with a smile: "Deputy Mayor Zhou, you really know how to squeeze time! Come on!" Airplane, board!" "It's already 8 o'clock, why hasn't the Horse Bureau issued an order?" A scout asked in a low voice. Fang Yulin remained silent.What can he say? The scout suggested again: "Shall we call Secretary Zhang directly?" Fang Yulin yelled sharply, "Shut up!" The scout fell silent. The last passenger passed through the gate and disappeared behind the two glass doors. Guo Qiang retreated to the car with two scouts.Fang Yulin looked at his watch.It was 8:15 at this time.The young scout anxiously proposed: "Can you discuss with the airport management to postpone the departure time of this flight?" Fang Yulin was silent. Another scout said: "...Isn't the secretary of the provincial party committee already back from Hainan? Let's call him directly." Fang Yulin interrupted him again: "Presumptuous!" The young scout said: "The situation is so urgent..." "Patience! Be patient! Follow procedures. Procedures are politics! If you can't handle political relations well, you can't handle such a big case! Do you understand?" Fang Yulin instructed. Just as the anxiety in the car calmed down, a scout called out: "Look, the plane has left the tarmac!" Everyone in the car was startled, stood up, and looked out the window.Sure enough, on the tarmac, the huge and heavy aircraft body made a deafening noise, and was slowly turning around and sliding towards the take-off runway. The two young scouts sat down in frustration: "It's over!" in the cabin.Zhou Mi, who hadn't completely relaxed yet, seemed extremely tired and sluggish at this moment.He tried his best to calm his beating heart and sat with his eyes closed.He knew that if there were only five or ten more minutes, the nightmare would be over.As the roar of the plane became louder and louder, the veins on his forehead were faintly bulging, and the cold sweat on his neck kept oozing out. Guo Qiang, Fang Yulin, and the young scouts at the scene were anxious.But they didn't know that what was happening in Secretary Zhang's office was even more thrilling.Deputy Secretary Gu, who never got angry in front of Secretary Zhang, tried his best to appeal to Deputy Director Ma: "Even if you have to take a huge risk, the risk is worth taking. I am willing to use my party membership as a guarantee, and ask the leaders at the provincial and municipal levels to order Zhou Mi to stop this visit..."The time came to the police." Your party membership?You come to guarantee?Ma Fengshan, do you know that what you are doing is neither legal nor reasonable? ! "At the same time, he looked at the strangely shaped quartz clock on the wall. It was a borderless clock. The black hands and the rectangular black blocks indicating the time were almost directly decorated on the white wall. It was almost 8:17. "You give me the two comrades who are going to Zhou Mi's house to check on the situation. I want to talk to them in person." Secretary Zhang said.After listening to the report, he has realized that the situation is serious and it is necessary to terminate the careful visit. There may be a major breakthrough in the case. Now is the time for the leader to make up his mind.Now he needs to make a final confirmation whether the situation that may have happened at Zhou Mi's house this morning has reached the seriousness he guessed.After the call was connected, he only listened to a few words before giving an order to Director Jin: "The person who notifies you, take action immediately and detain Zhou Mi!" One sentence reads: "There was smoke in Zhou Mi's house, and he burned those two big dictionaries." The second sentence reads: "The young woman was tied to a chair and her mouth was gagged..." After receiving the order, Guo Qiang and Fang Yulin split into two.Guo Qiang took people to the central control room of the tower and asked them to order the plane to delay takeoff.Fang Yulin drove the police car and quickly chased the plane sliding on the runway. At this time, the plane has already slid to the takeoff line, has received the order to take off, and is gradually increasing the accelerator, preparing for the final leap.Passengers who had gone through complicated procedures before boarding and waiting for a long time finally calmed down. As the plane vibrated more and more intensely before takeoff, they seemed to be aware of the three huge wheels under the fuselage. Already started sliding.But the passengers seated at the right side window were surprised to see a police car speeding behind the sliding plane.They whispered and told each other, and they all stood up and asked, suspecting that there was a sudden mechanical failure, or something bigger.When they were hesitating whether to ask the stewardess something, they saw Zhou Mi who was sitting in the first-class cabin stood up, opened the luggage compartment very calmly, took out his luggage, took his coat, and whispered to the members of the visiting group. He said hello: "I have to go out for a while." Under the surprised eyes of members of the visiting group and other passengers, he walked towards the cabin door step by step.What is even more unbelievable is that after a while, the plane actually slowed down, even stopped, and turned around and slid backwards.All of a sudden, the passengers were in an uproar, unfastened their seat belts one after another, looked around, and asked loudly.Several members of the visiting group were even more restless.At this time, Zhou Mi had almost reached the cabin door.The stewardesses seemed to have been notified about it. After the plane stopped, they immediately opened the cabin door and let Fang Yulin and others board the plane to perform official duties. Zhou Mi stared blankly at Fang Yulin who appeared at the door of the cabin. Fang Yulin got closer and closer. Zhou Mi walked to the cabin door, the moment he stepped out of the cabin door, the luggage fell from his hands, he stood blankly for a while with empty hands, and suddenly slammed into the metal cabin door frame forcefully.Blood gushed from his forehead all of a sudden.When Fang Yulin and others rushed forward to support him, he held the hatch with both hands, smiled wryly, and slid down slowly. For thousands of years, human beings have always been discussing such a basic question, what is life?Does the process of life require rewards?Some people say that you don't need anything in return, you are just alive to be alive.Some people say that rewards are needed. Living is not just for living. Life itself is an organic state that needs to be fully reflected in rewards.All the differences and all the significance lies in what kind of return we are striving for, and what return we get in the end.Standing tall?Wind blowing?Thinking about the long distance between the world and the earth, I feel sad and tearful... Or I have to ask: Is the heavy snow really traceless?Or, the question should be put like this: the heavy snow was originally traceless, but why is it no longer traceless?Or you can also ask the Creator this way: it has traces, why do we want it to have no traces?Does life have meaning?Or... to be alive is just to be alive... On the day of the first pre-examination, the injury on his head was not healed, and he was still wrapped in a snow-white bandage.He has visibly lost weight.He refused to answer any questions.He was just staring, staring at the white snow outside the detention center, and the "obstacles" that separated him from the white snow.For example: high walls, power grids, sentries.The police dog with the sentinel, the Baichan forest in the distance, and the nearby brick cells not only protect him from the severe cold, but also make it clear that he will no longer enjoy freedom. Compared with other detention rooms, the cell assigned to him should be in a very good condition.At least he lived alone.That is, as the saying goes, "single room".There are beds, desks, papers, and pens.The commode has a lid.Toilet paper is also provided by the government.There is a stack of meticulous and unfinished explanations on the table. (It seems that he is not going to finish writing it. Maybe he thinks that this confession will never be finished.) The light in the room is quite dark, only a thin ray of sunlight leaks in from a small window on the top.Zhou Mi sat cross-legged on a bench with his back to the window, silently sitting under the only ray of sunlight. …When I was in middle school, I carried the freshly cooked zongzi on my back and braved the heavy snowflakes flying all over the sky. When I rushed to the city, I admired Daxue Wuhen, I firmly believed in Daxue Wuhen, I felt sorry for Daxue Wuhen, I long for the snow without a trace.Yes, there is no trace of heavy snow.Yes, the matter should not have ended like this... But that day, Secretary Zhang came to my house with the 300,000 Donggang internal employee stock certificates, and it seemed that the matter was destined to have such an ending ... That night, Secretary Zhang hesitated for a long time, and finally told Zhou Mi the intention of Donggang's leadership team. Zhou Mi was very angry and criticized Secretary Zhang very seriously. "What do you want to do? What is this? Internal employee stock. Donggang employees earned it for themselves. It is the rights and interests that employees should enjoy. Let's use it to please the leader? Use it to trade? Don't say that the policy does not allow it , the law does not allow us to do this, just considering that you and I were once children of Donggang employees, our conscience does not allow us to do this! We cannot condone such behavior, let alone participate in this kind of action?" Zhou Mi really said the above this paragraph. "Immediately give me these stock certificates and return them to Donggang, and don't tell the leaders of Donggang that they have already looked for me. I don't want to talk to them. The company is in trouble. Find out more about your own gaps in management. What are you doing with these crooked ways? It's completely a matter of customers harming yourself! Let me tell you, don't say that I am not predicting, this kind of thing is not an example. From now on, let me know that you are still busy with the leaders of the units below. Don't be a secretary in the municipal government." He was upright, and he was blown away.Secretary Zhang immediately made a self-criticism and obediently took away the stock certificates.Zhou Mi thought that this was the end of the matter.Because although Secretary Zhang is young, he is still reliable in his work. Generally, he can faithfully carry out the tasks assigned by the leaders in charge without any compromise.Even so, after Secretary Zhang left, Zhou Mi marked the words "Zhang" and "Donggang" with a red pen on the desk calendar three days later, and drew a letter on each of the two words. Make a big circle and remind yourself that on that day, you will have to track down Secretary Zhang to see if these internal employee shares have really been returned.But he never imagined that Secretary Zhang, who never "bargained" with the leader, would "bargain" this day.At about three o'clock in the evening, Secretary Zhang called again... Looking back now, if Secretary Zhang stopped making this call that night, would a series of things happen in the future?If God doesn't snow at all, will there still be "marks" and "no traces"?If there are traces between the snow grains (pieces) and the snow grains (pieces), is it still necessary for us to ask whether Daxue has traces?if…… Around 11:00, Secretary Zhang called Zhou Mi again.He was back in the office at the time, having just attended a small meeting.The attendees left one after another with great excitement and weariness.Secretary Yan took a copy of the minutes of the meeting that had just been drafted and asked Zhou Mi to read it.As soon as he walked to the door of the inner room, he heard Zhou Mi talking on the phone with someone.He was very excited, and his voice was very loud, and he could hear it clearly when it spread outside.After listening for a while, he heard that Zhou Mi was talking to Secretary Zhang.Zhou Mi said: "Xiao Zhang, let me say it again, this matter is over. Don't say any more." Zhou Mi's tone was already very impatient.Hearing this, Secretary Yan thought that Zhou Mi had finished the phone call, so he opened the door and entered, but saw Zhou Mi was still talking on the phone, so he immediately retreated knowingly. Zhou Mi was also very surprised that day.I said so myself, but Secretary Zhang didn't stop.I really took the wrong medicine!He smiled helplessly, and said, "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang, what's the matter with you today?" Secretary Zhang hesitated for a long time, for about one or twenty seconds, he neither made a sound nor put down the phone. .Later, I said the following: "Secretary-General Zhou, I am really embarrassed about this matter. It is indeed as I told you, we are all children of Donggang, and my parents still live in Donggang , my younger siblings are also employed in Donggang. I used to work in Donggang’s factory department, and I am able to get to where I am today, thanks to the leadership of Donggang. To be honest, I can’t and don’t want to offend these old leaders of Donggang. , This is also a matter of conscience. Are you right? "..."We don't give away these internal shares, and some people will give them away. Today's status quo is like this, instead of letting others take these internal shares to the leader to please , it’s better to let us do it ourselves.” To be honest, what Secretary Zhang said was very “heart-wrenching”.But even so, Zhou Mi is still not tempted, just not so angry anymore.It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong for others to tell you their hearts out, it's always good.Perhaps sensing a significant change in Zhou Mi's attitude, Secretary Zhang plucked up the courage to say a very crucial sentence.Looking back now, it was this passage that pried open Zhou Mi's self-protected heart.Secretary Zhang said: "Secretary-General Zhou, I heard that the higher-ups have considered you to be the deputy mayor. You must know the situation better than us. You are not the only candidate. Secretary Li from Chengnan District, Director Song from the Construction Committee, and others There is Zhang Ming from the Youth League Provincial Committee... They are all strong contenders for this position.It has been several years since you went from school to office.You must also understand that at this juncture, the result will be very different if no one talks to you at the Standing Committee discussing personnel and organization issues.You don't want someone to speak for you at such a critical moment?You have worked hard for decades, isn't it just for this moment?What else do you want?Don't you think that Donggang's leaders and I ask you to give away these stocks at this time, not only for Donggang, but also for you?Of course, as someone looking for someone, I also want you to know that I, the little secretary, really have you as the big secretary in my heart.Otherwise, I can deliver it by myself! " ...Yes, I have worked hard for decades...Maybe only Zhou Mi understands what the words "hard work" mean... Maybe only Zhou Mi understands the moment when he received the university admission letter. Why did he cry... the first time he went abroad, he got on the plane, and he still didn't believe it was true... the first time he set foot on American soil, got off the plane, walked out of the passage, took out his passport, and accepted the black customs officer During the examination, he felt that the calves of his two legs were trembling uncontrollably, and he felt that he was almost out of breath.is this americaUnited States…… U... S... A... If it takes only a day or two for others to get jet lagged, he spent a whole week.He was mentally jet-lagged.He needs to work hard to convince himself to believe that the new life really belongs to that local kid from Shuanggou Forest Farm... Walking on the streets of New York and Rome, what he can't forget is that day of that year , the slap his father gave him.That slap nearly deafened his ears.He couldn't forget that after beating him, it wasn't him who cried loudly, but his father himself, and he cried so sadly.That day, the father and son quarreled a few words, so that he could be rated as a three-good student that year.Zhou Mi has been rated as a city-level three-good student for two consecutive years.According to the relevant regulations, those who have been rated as three good students at the municipal level for three consecutive years will be eligible to be sent to provincial and municipal key middle schools to study in senior high schools.Because the college entrance examination admission rate of provincial and municipal key middle schools is several tens of percentage points higher than that of ordinary middle schools.Under normal circumstances, as long as you can attend a high school class in a key middle school, it means you can go to college; if you can go to college, it means you have a commodity grain account, a state cadre status, and labor insurance benefits that guarantee income during drought and flood. In Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen... …Settling in such a city, marrying a wife and having children, you can even enter the central government, and become a "Hanlin" and a "university soil"!Yes, I understood very early on that no matter whether it is writing a book, making a theory, learning, or becoming an official, under the shadow of a certain "aura", you cannot rule out one step after another on the ladder of life's progress just based on your real ability. an obstacle.Especially in officialdom, people pay more attention to "relationships", "pay attention to" the top of the mountain, pay attention to who you are and who you are not, who you listen to and who you don't.In some government compound, as soon as you enter the big U, there is a bright red screen wall with a big book "serve the people" on it A few large characters.But did they really regard these big characters as the basic criteria for appointing cadres?Some, yes; some, but not at all.Some people say so in their mouths, but they are not in actual operation.Some use one criterion for some people and another criterion for others.In this case, if the person you "serve" is a good person, he really thinks about "the people", "the country", "the nation" and "the world"... (There are still many such people), Then you will be able to do a few good things more or less; in case you follow another kind of person (isn't that rare?), you should really avoid the idea of ​​​​"doing things"... But whether you What kind of person is following, there is a possibility, you have to be vigilant: you may be more important than everything else in your personal career and promotion day by day.That day, Zhou Mi was at a loss when he thought that if the motion to mention him as deputy mayor was not approved by the Provincial Standing Committee.He really didn't want his promotion to deputy mayor to fail just because no one spoke up for him at the last minute.Secretary Zhang's words really hit the "bullseye". "I...was shaken...I wasn't supposed to be shaken...but I was shaken!!" "Those 300,000 employee shares have passed through your hands, and to which leaders have they been sent?" The preliminary review went on for several days, and there was still no progress on several key issues. Deputy Director Ma came to confront Zhou Mi in person. Zhou Mi said: "...you don't need to ask about this..." Deputy Director Ma asked: "Do you want to take all the responsibility alone? Do you think that if you do this, those people will do everything possible to protect you? You haven't figured it out yet?" Zhou Mi fell silent in a daze: "..." …After giving stocks to a certain leader, Zhou Mi has been very nervous and worried. After 300,000 internal employee shares are listed, the value will reach more than 10 million yuan.Once the incident happens, it is an incredible thing.Of course he understood the weight of the matter.What disturbed him in particular was that he found that he had entered a paradoxical vicious circle: in order to become an official, he would use any means; ... Before the incident, Secretary Zhang comforted him many times to reassure him.Secretary Zhang said that many people have done the matter of giving internal shares to the leader, and I have never heard of anyone having problems.He also said that even if something goes wrong, he will take responsibility for it and will not throw him out. ...But once the situation came to an end, it was not like that at all... In November, Zhou Mi became nervous when he heard that a person named Liao Hongyu from Donggang had written a report to the public, exposing that someone had bribed internal employee shares.But after all, there is still loud thunder and little rain. I only heard the sound of the stairs, but no one came down. On December 17, he was busy all day preparing for the party at Fengshan Villa.Around 7 o'clock, Secretary Qin of the Municipal Party Committee called to inform him that the next day's gathering would end early.The reason for the early termination was that comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection wanted to talk to Secretary Zhang and ask him about Donggang stock.Because some people said that Donggang's stock was sent to some provincial and municipal leaders through his hands.At that time, Secretary Qin also said that he should accompany the comrades from the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission to talk to Secretary Zhang.Zhou Mi stabilized his emotions a bit, immediately called Secretary Zhang, and asked him to come out that night to discuss how to deal with the next day's conversation... He asked him to meet at a railway crossing in the suburbs.It was still dark and snowing heavily that night, and Secretary Zhang didn't come until after 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.Zhou Mi panicked.Secretary Zhang is a very obedient person. If he didn't come, something must have happened.It must be intentional to avoid him.Of course, the purpose of evasion is only one: to push all the responsibility on him alone.The more Zhou Mi thought about it, the more frightening he became. He kept calling Secretary Zhang along the way, and he kept calling Secretary Zhang when he got home.But no matter how and where he dialed, he couldn't be found.At this time, he already had a premonition that something was going to happen.But I definitely haven't thought of "killing people to silence my mouth".Yes, Zhou Mi never thought of "killing people to silence her". (As a person who writes about this person and this matter from an omniscient and omnipotent perspective, standing in front of Zhou Mi, I am "God". I clearly grasp the changes in every moment of his thinking. Even if the changes are sometimes as fast as lightning , I should know it well.) On the 17th, he didn’t sleep all night, and only took a nap on the couch when it was almost dawn.At dawn, he called Secretary Zhang's house again.This time it worked.He asked him, why didn't he go to the fork in the road last night?Secretary Zhang said that he went.But on the way to the Renmin intersection, the Dongfeng shopping mall over there was on fire, and all the taxis passing by there were stopped by the police and used as ambulances to transport the wounded.Later, he met several city leaders who rushed to the scene to direct the fire fighting, so he was embarrassed to leave, and stayed there to assist them in directing, and he did not return home until dawn.Zhou Mi checked later, and it was indeed the case.So I made another meeting appointment and went to the city hall.At that time, although his heart was a little more stable, he was still very panicked, and it should be said that he was also very scared.But even now, he still feels like he can handle it.He wanted to recover those stocks as soon as possible and return them to Donggang... Deputy Director Ma asked him: "You also borrowed 100,000 yuan from Feng Xianglong?" Zhou Mi sighed softly and said, "Yes." Deputy Director Ma asked, "Why?" Zhou Mi did not answer: "..." Deputy Director Ma asked: "...what is the money for?" Zhou Mi still didn't answer: "..." Zhou Mi sent the stock certificates of this part of the internal shares to the home of a certain provincial leader by himself, and the provincial leader accepted it without hesitation.The leader also said he didn't have the cash on hand to buy the warrants.He asked Zhou Mi to temporarily advance 100,000 yuan for him.After Zhou Mi entered the municipal government office, he set a rule for himself: as long as he did not break the taboo, as a last resort, he could do something for "others" (the scope of this "others" is of course strict and strict, small and small). 100,000 yuan in cash can be said to be a sum of money that can be collected at any time for many people. The provincial leader also thinks so: you are carefully in the Secretary-General I have been working in the position for two years, and I asked you to "advance" 100,000 yuan for me. It is definitely a small number. But how did he know that this is really difficult for Zhou Mi. Zhou Mi cannot refuse that leader. Because He is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. He can't cry poor to him-you think, according to the current market, he is in the position of Secretary-General. After working for two years, I couldn't come up with 100,000 yuan in cash. Maybe no one would believe it.But this is indeed his status quo.So he entrusted another person to borrow 100,000 yuan from Feng Xianglong (Zhou Mi did not show up at the time). "Who is this leader?" Deputy Director Ma asked repeatedly. "Please stop asking." Zhou Mi said. Deputy Director Ma asked sternly: "You have reached this point, what else can you not say?" Zhou Mi lowered his head again and stopped talking. ... At around 5 o'clock in the morning on December 17, that is, after talking with Secretary Zhang on the phone, Zhou Mi made a phone call to the leader.Ask him to return those stock certificates to him.He told the leader that something might happen.He wanted to return these stock certificates to Donggang.To Zhou Mi's surprise, the leader was silent for a while, and then asked Zhou Mi: "Share certificate? What stock certificate? Zhou Mi, what are you telling me?" Before Zhou Mi could say anything else, he snapped phone hung up... ... When he heard that the other party hung up the phone, Zhou Mi's head exploded.It was really heaven and earth, and five thunders struck the top.In an instant, all his spiritual pillars collapsed, completely collapsed... If Secretary Zhang blamed him for everything, and the leader categorically denied that he had obtained these stock certificates from him, then the price is worth one In the end, tens of thousands of things became his own incriminating evidence.More than ten million!At this moment, his eyes were really blank... Zhou Mi unsteadily picked up a porcelain vase and threw it against the wall. ... What was even more frightening was that Secretary Qin suddenly called him again around 7 o'clock.He felt that Zhou Mi was too tired to prepare for this party these days. In order to let him rest earlier, after the party was over, he didn't have to attend the conversation between comrades from the Provincial Disciplinary Committee and Secretary Zhang.At that time, Zhou Mi felt that they had already discovered his problem and found an excuse to exclude him from the conversation.The moment he put down the phone, he made his final preparations... Zhou Mi stayed for a while, then threw himself under the big bookcase, and took out a pistol.It was a black gun, and it was given to him by an individual boss from Shuanggou who came to visit him at his house.As God testifies, when he took the gun, Zhou Mi still didn't think of "killing people to silence... He still had a glimmer of hope for meeting Secretary Zhang tomorrow. He hoped that Secretary Zhang would stand up and testify for him at this critical moment, He said a fair thing: He, Zhou Mi did not take an inside stock. Of course, he also made the worst plan. If Secretary Zhang didn't say such a thing, he was going to "suicide" with this gun. In his position ，虽说不上"高处不胜寒"，但几十年来艰辛营造的身家前程和声誉一旦都不复存在了，还要这性命作甚？ 周密没"玩"过枪，拿着枪好长时间不敢动弹。后来，他拿出那两本大辞典，放在墙角，给枪口套上消声筒，连着向辞典扣了几下扳机，试验了一下。这是他一生中第一次打真枪。 没想到，到再一次扣动扳机时，居然就打死了一个活人。这样的记录，大概即便在枪支横行的美国，也是不多见的吧！ 马副局长问："你什么时候开始策划杀人灭口的计划的？" 周密说："我从来没有策划过这样的计划。18日上午，我还给那位领导打了好几次电话。我仍抱着最后一点希望，希望他能把那些股权证退还给我。但是，每一次电话打过去，他只要听到是我的声音，就立即把电话挂了。一直到中午，我给他打了不下20次电话，他都不理我。到中午后，我真的绝望了……但我还是按计划在来凤山庄主持了那天的聚会……" ……18日下午4点来钟，他约了张秘书在大厅后门外的杂树林边上见面。目的只有一个，说服他能在省纪委的同志面前，为他说一句公正话。但是，同样出乎他意外的是，不管他怎么说，这位张秘书都不做声、不表态。这时，看到有个记者在不远的地方拍照，他赶紧把张秘书带到后面的小别墅里，原想再跟他谈一谈。但进了那个破败的旧别墅，张秘书却一改常态，反过来劝他赶快如实地向组织上交出这30万份股权证。 他说据他所知，省市任何领导都没有拿到过这些股权证。这时，周密才意识到，有人抢在他之前，向这位张秘书做了"思想工作"。在他和那个人之间，这位平日里一直表现得特别听话、特别顺从、特别能替领导考虑问题的张秘书，很自然地选择了那个人。周密恼怒了，周密疯狂了。"我几十年的自我奋斗啊……几十年的自我压抑……几十年的一步一个脚印……几十年的清规戒律……几十年的超脱整合，我一个双沟的上孩子啊……你知道你毁灭了一个什么吗……周密……周密……掏出了本该向自己发射的手枪，对准张秘书连着打了三枪…… 枪响了……他反而平静下来了…… 一年后，周密被判处死刑，并被剥夺政治权利终身。他没有要求上诉。他也一直没有供出"那个人"的名字。行刑前的一天，马凤山带着方雨林去看他。主要的目的当然还是为了劝说他供出那个人来。周密默默地笑了笑，很平静地对马凤山讲了这么一个故事：过去一个富翁，家产富可敌国。忽然得了绝症，临终前却把家产全部分给了穷人，没给自己的儿子们留下一点东西。人们很不理解，便去病榻前向他请教。他回答说，如果我的儿子们是有出息的，他们会挣钱来养活自己，用不着我来留给他们什么。如果他们没有出息，只知纵欲奢靡，不知自食其力，就是把天下的财富都留给他们，也是没有用的。总有一天他们还是要饿死的。 马凤山非常生气地训斥他："党和人民曾付出了那么大的代价，把你培养成一个高级干部，你沦落到今天这种地步，不想做点什么来弥补一下自己给党和人民造成的损失，还自比为那个富翁父亲？你不觉得可耻吗？" 周密一动不动地闭着眼睛默坐了好大一会儿，脸色渐渐阴暗下来，尔后嗒然低下了头，用很小的声音很勉强地说了一句："我错了……"便再不说话了。最后也没说出"那个人" 到底是谁。 周密被捕后的第二天，丁洁冲进自己的房间，拿出周密给她的那两包日记本，驱车赶往联合专案组驻地，找到方雨林，说是要把这日记本交给公安局方面，看看对进一步澄清周密作案动机和作案过程能否有点帮助。方雨林当即给马凤山打了个电话。马凤山同意他们打开看看。 方雨林对丁洁说道："打开吧。" 丁洁犹豫了一下："还是你打开吧。" 方雨林笑了笑："又不是定时炸弹，怕啥？" 丁洁迟疑地："还是你来打开。" 方雨林沉吟了一下，对丁洁说道："应该由你来亲手打开它。这是他给你的。" 丁洁忙说道："当时我完全不知道他……他还是一个…… 一个……杀人凶手……" 方雨林又沉吟了一会儿，正色道："还是你来打开。他是杀人凶手但他对你的感情还是真挚的……" 丁洁的脸顿时红起："……你这是什么意思……" 方雨林说："快打开吧，看看他在这里都写了些什么？" 于是掏出那把瑞士军刀，递给了洁。 丁洁接过军刀后又犹豫了一会儿，才小心翼翼地去裁开包在日记本外面的那层纸。 "打开。"丁洁拿出日记本后，方雨林轻轻地说道。 丁洁屏住气慢慢地翻开第一页。空白的。再翻一页，也是空白的。又翻了几页，都是空白的。她疑询般地看了看方雨林。方雨林忙拿起日记本，连连翻看，整本都是空白的。尔后又打开第二本、第三本、第四本……所有这些，居然全都空白…… 丁洁本能地拿起手机，要给周密打电话，问问他，这到底是怎么一回事。刚按了两个号，马上意识到，这个电话永远打不通了，突然一种无法解释的茫然涌上来，她一愣，便赶紧收起手机，非常不自在地打量了一眼方雨林。方雨林默默地坐了一会儿，只是在打量那些完全空白的日记本。他似乎仍有些不甘心，总觉得周密会给了活留下一两句宣示性的话语，不会只是"空白"就了得的。他一页一页细细地去找，仿佛这空白的纸页上隐藏着什么秘密似的。翻到最后一本日记本的最后一页，果然，看到了这样一段文字："我给自己留下了一片遗恨……一片空白……我一直想告诉你这一切到底是怎么发生的。我想以空白的日记本来引发你的好奇，让你主动来询问我。但你竟然如此地规范，不肯稍稍提早一点进入一个男人的心灵……虽然如此，我还是要感谢你这些时日以来给我的信任和那种特殊的感觉。正由于这种感觉，才使我在面对你的时候，总是能回悟到这世界还是纯净的，生活也仍然是美好的。珍惜上苍所赐予你的一切吧！要知道并不是所有的人都能得到他如此的恩爱和厚赐……珍惜它……珍惜它……生活本不应该这样结局的……不应该啊……" 日记本上虽然只有这么一小段话，但还是作为罪犯的个人档案，留在了方雨林那里。方雨林告诉丁洁，周密在整个审讯过程中，没有为自己作任何辩护，只是请求司法方面对阎文华从轻发落。而阎文华出于私情，挑动群众，干扰办案，最终被判处3年徒刑…… "能告诉我，这两年你突然疏远我的真正原因吗？"走到大门外，丁洁问方雨林。 方雨林叹了口气道："另找个时间吧。这会儿也不是谈这类事的时候。没这样的心情。你说呢？" "我只要你告诉我，到底是哪方面的原因，是我的原因，还是别的什么原因？" "不是因为你。" "肯定？" "肯定。" 丁洁没再追问。过了几天，专案组方面要丁洁就那几本日记本的来历，写一点旁证性的东西。丁洁写完后，给他们送去，又遇见方雨林。方雨林留她吃饭。在饭桌上，她问方雨林："是不是我家里什么人无意间得罪了你？"方雨林说："不能说得罪。"丁洁问："那究竟发生了什么？"方雨林说道："谁也没得罪谁。我只是觉得不能那样走进去罢了。那天--大概一年多前的某一天，我去你家。你当时还没到家。 你妈妈很热情地问起我的近况，尤其问我对未来的打算。她对我，表面上看，一直是挺热情的。我说了一些我的打算。当然，我说的还是刑警的那一套。她沉默了一会儿，突然说，你要相信阿姨的话，让阿姨来替你做些安排。我问她做些什么安排。她说，我送你去省委党校学习。有一年期的地县级进修班。我说我不是地县级的干部。她说你就安于这样下去吗？只要你有心要求进步，阿姨完全可以替你重做安排。你不相信阿姨有这个能力吗？我说我相信。但我没有答应由她来安排我的前程，我也不认为当一个好刑警就标志着我没有上进心。我更不想依靠这么个阿姨来混进地县级干部进修班，虽然我知道，你妈妈是完全能够为我办到这一点的--只要让她确认我就是她未来的女婿……" 丁洁说："这绝对不是我的意思，也不会是我爸爸的意思。" "是吗？"方雨林说道。 丁洁说："我们怎么可能强迫你去做你不愿意做的事呢？" "是吗？"方雨林又说道。 丁洁一下很激动："我们相处那么些年，你怎么就一点都不了解我呢？" "是吗？"方雨林再次说道。 丁洁委屈地呜咽起来。方雨林沉默了，大约过了有五六分钟，他见丁洁仍在低声地抽泣，便伸过手去，轻轻地把她搂了过来，轻轻地说了句："我了解你……了解你……" 周密被处决后，九天集团公司总经理冯祥龙以贪污挪用公款受贿数额巨大，而被判处无期徒刑。对此判决，省检察院认为量刑明显过轻，已提出抗诉，要求对这个不仅从经济上给国家造成巨大损失，而且又腐蚀了近百名国家公务员的蛀虫，同样判以死刑。其他所有牵连到九天集团行贿案的人员也都受到了相应的处理。 特别需要提出的是，那位东钢行贿案的"受贿主角"仍遭遥法外。人民会答应吗？还有该案的第一揭发人廖红宇的处境一直不太好。由于她为人正直，又敢说敢为，市里有关部门破格将她提升到九天集团公司副总经理的位置上，主持该集团公司的工作--总经理一职暂时空缺。但她上任一年多来，困难重重。一方面是因为冯祥龙在位时拉下许多的"饥荒"，欠下的无数"外债"，使她穷于应付；另一方面，周边职能部门的某些人似乎总有些跟她过不去，该给九天集团公司办的事，拖着不办，能通融缓办的事，则又不通融缓办。而冯祥龙在位时，这些事情办起来似乎都要顺畅许多。这些职能部门的这些人是否得到过什么人的暗示，唆使他们这样为难廖红宇，那就不得而知了。对此，我们能说的只有这样一句话：历史拭目以待，大雪必将无痕！ 2000年4月2日10点36分改毕
