"Lu Dayong quarreled with someone last night?" The police were very interested in this information.
Although the preliminary investigation showed that Lu Dayong jumped to his death, they still had to figure out why he chose to commit suicide.
"Yes, it was a very loud argument. Later, he saw us come out and pulled the man into the house. "
"Yes, he was here to collect debts. We've seen a lot of these usury collectors, and they're all like him! "
The police questioned and collected evidence, and finally went to the one-bedroom room where Lu Dayong had lived before his death to investigate.
Unfortunately, the place was completely burned, especially the computer, which was burned to the point where only the shell was left.
In the end, the police only took the burnt hard drive, which was the only thing taken from the scene of the fire.
They then investigated the window where Lu Dayong had fallen and found evidence that he had climbed out of the window and fallen from the windowsill.
There was a little bit of paper ash on the windowsill, which should be traces of the fire.
From these witnesses and physical evidence, the police's preliminary judgment was that Lu Dayong was chased by the loan sharks and finally jumped to his death.
But it might not be completely correct, and there were still some doubts.
For example, who set the fire?
If it was Lu Dayong himself, it could be understood that he had nothing left to live for, so he set the fire to vent his anger before committing suicide.
But if it wasn't Lu Dayong who set the fire, but the loan sharks, then Lu Dayong's death would be suspicious.
The person who set the fire must have done it to cover up the real evidence.
But if the loan sharks were Lu Dayong's murderer, it wouldn't make sense.
Because the loan sharks were after money, and if they killed Lu Dayong, who would pay his debts?
From this perspective, Lu Dayong seemed closer to suicide.
Of course, these were the preliminary stages of the police's verification.
More evidence was needed to close the case, especially the recovery of the data on Lu Dayong's computer hard drive, which would also be an important piece of evidence.
Lu Dayong's body had been sent to the funeral home for preservation, and his family was also notified to come and claim it.
The police's work was carried out in an orderly manner.
…
Special Assistant Yang left the Senate building and went home for "vacation."
Speaker Long asked someone to call Gu Nianzhi to his office to talk.
This time, it was only her and Speaker Long.
Without Special Assistant Yang, who always had malicious intentions towards her, Gu Nianzhi felt much more comfortable.
She even borrowed Speaker Long's tea set and took the initiative to brew a cup of tea for Speaker Long.
Speaker Long finished the tea in the small teacup in one gulp.
"Nianzhi, I didn't expect you to be so good at making tea." Speaker Long smiled as he handed the teacup back to her. "Can I have another cup? The aftertaste was sweet and fragrant, overflowing with fresh air. Good tea! Good tea! "
Gu Nianzhi smiled. "These are all your tea leaves. I'm just trying to present them to Buddha with borrowed flowers."
"Nianzhi, you're too kind. There are many things that you can do, but we can't. " Speaker Long sincerely apologized to Gu Nianzhi. "I'm sorry to have embarrassed myself this time. Our Senate Secretariat wasn't like this before …"
"I know." Gu Nianzhi nodded with a smile. "There are all kinds of birds in a big forest. I'm mentally prepared."
"You can't be blamed for this. We didn't do our job well and made you suffer." Speaker Long patted Gu Nianzhi's shoulder and treated her like a junior.
"Fortunately, I usually don't feel wronged, because I always retaliate on the spot. If we're talking about suffering, that person just now was even more wronged than I was. "
Gu Nianzhi was talking about Special Assistant Yang. Gu Nianzhi was secretly pleased to see him speechless at Gu Nianzhi's words.
Speaker Long smiled and nodded. "Nianzhi, I like it when you speak your mind like this. Keep it up."
"Okay, I'll speak my mind. Speaker Long, please don't mind me talking too much in the future …" Gu Nianzhi laughed.
Speaker Long also laughed for a while before asking Gu Nianzhi, "Nianzhi, Special Assistant Yang won't be back for a while. Who do you think will be responsible for the Senate Secretariat in the future?"
Gu Nianzhi looked at Speaker Long in shock. The black and white panda mask covered most of her face, only showing her bright eyes that shone like stars.
Speaker Long narrowed his eyes. "Don't you have any ideas? I was going to hand the Secretariat over to you, but I'm afraid there will be too many things to do. If you work around the clock, Huo Shao might not be happy, haha … "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
She didn't want people to continue thinking that all of her achievements were related to Huo Shaoheng, so she could only sigh. "Huo Shao won't think that way. After all, we're no longer together. However, I just graduated. Don't you think it's too rash to hand over the Secretariat to me? "
"Don't you have confidence?" Speaker Long asked meaningfully. "When Special Assistant Yang first started working for me, he had only just graduated."
"This isn't a matter of confidence." Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "This job requires qualifications and experience. I know I'm far from qualified in this area. Besides, my interest is in the law. I can work as a legal consultant in the Secretariat, but I'm not ready to be a full-time assistant. "
Hearing Gu Nianzhi's refusal, Speaker Long didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed heartily.
"Okay, I got it. Nianzhi, you can leave first. It's a bit hard for you to be in charge of the Secretariat right now. " Speaker Long said with a smile and dismissed Gu Nianzhi. He then called in another senior secretary to temporarily replace Special Assistant Yang.
There were plenty of people in the Secretariat, and they weren't any less qualified than Special Assistant Yang.
Gu Nianzhi didn't accept the job hastily, which made Speaker Long think even more highly of her.
She was capable and knew her limits. This was especially rare.
Gu Nianzhi didn't know she had passed another test from Speaker Long, but perhaps she knew and didn't care.
After all, she didn't come to the internship this time to fight for power. She had another goal …
She had already achieved her goal. Now she just had to see how Cai Songyin would react.
Speaking of which, Cai Songyin hadn't done anything for the past two days. This didn't make sense.
Gu Nianzhi was thinking about this when she realized that "speak of the devil."
Of course, it wasn't the main character. It was Cao Cao's think tank, Cai Songyin's niece, Madam Cai Shengnan.
Cai Shengnan had been in the Senate for more than a month because of Prime Minister Tan's impeachment case. She was very familiar with everyone there.
She was also one of the people that Speaker Long had publicly expressed his appreciation for. She also had a pass to enter and exit the Senate, so she could come here without any obstructions.
She walked straight to Gu Nianzhi and stopped beside her. Cai Shengnan crossed her arms and tilted her head to look at Gu Nianzhi. She suddenly said, "Miss Gu, it's actually a very bad habit to insist on working when you're injured."
Gu Nianzhi heard Cai Shengnan's voice and couldn't help but laugh.
She had just been wondering why Cai Songyin hadn't done anything yet. Now, she was about to make a move?
Gu Nianzhi calmly turned off the display. She stood up and turned around to face Cai Shengnan. "Miss Cai, may I ask what business you have with me?"
"Please call me Lawyer Cai. Don't use Miss to humiliate me." Cai Shengnan pouted. She looked at Gu Nianzhi's face with the mask on. It was an eyesore. She suddenly reached out and pulled the mask off Gu Nianzhi's face. She asked with a smile, "Miss Gu, did your face really get hurt?"
Cai Shengnan had trained her strength. Gu Nianzhi felt like her ear was about to be torn off.
The mask was pulled off, revealing Gu Nianzhi's face.
Although it wasn't as swollen as it looked on the video, it was still excessively red and swollen.
"… You're really hurt," Cai Shengnan muttered to herself.
The condition of Gu Nianzhi's face was actually because she had spoken too much with the mask on. It was red and swollen from being rubbed, and it still hurt.
But no matter what, it was her business whether she was injured or not. Gu Nianzhi was furious that Cai Shengnan had ripped off her mask and exposed her embarrassing wound. Moreover, her ear was burning with pain as if it had been torn apart by Cai Shengnan.
Gu Nianzhi didn't hesitate. The moment Cai Shengnan pulled off her mask, she slapped her!
Cai Shengnan covered her face in disbelief and looked at Gu Nianzhi. "You hit me?!"
"Yes, I hit you! I was defending myself, Lawyer Cai. What misunderstanding do you have about self-defense? " Gu Nianzhi said confidently and waved her hand. "Your face is so strong. My hand hurts when I hit your face."
