The family members were arguing noisily, and there was no sadness on their faces. The deceased's wife was slumped on the chair. Her eyes were dull, and she did not say a word. The old mother's eyes were filled with sadness and anger. Her hands were trembling, and her dry lips were trembling. Who would have thought that there would be a cold corpse in the morgue?
Zhang Zhiyuan knew that these people would not let it go if he did not give out the money tonight. This kind of matter must not be delayed, and it must be dealt with quickly. After tonight, if someone was egging her on, she might make other unreasonable requests the next day. Zhang Zhiyuan immediately dialed the County Construction Bank's President's number and asked him to work overnight to apply for three bank cards according to Lu Yiwei's suggestion.
The president of CCB was straightforward. Special cases were special, and he quickly agreed.
While waiting for the money, Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly thought of a key factor. He turned to Lu Yiwei and whispered. "Inform Xiao Dingyuan to file a case for investigation and organize a forensic doctor to conduct an autopsy. It must be completed by tonight. Go now!"
Lu Yiwei did not dare to delay and immediately passed the order to Xiao Dingyuan. Xiao Dingyuan was on standby at the Public Security Bureau, waiting for Zhang Zhiyuan's order.
An hour later, the CCB's President personally sent the bank cards with 100,000 RMB in them. After Zhang Zhiyuan expressed his intention, the family members were unhappy. "Why isn't it cash? You said that you have deposited it in the bank. How do we know if it is true? "
Actually, everyone knew what was going on and wanted to get some benefits from it. Zhang Zhiyuan said sternly. "This money is for supporting the elderly and paying for our children's education. It is exchanged with a person's life. Do you think there is any meaning in arguing?"
The family members suddenly quieted down and lowered their heads.
Zhang Zhiyuan pushed the agreement to the deceased's wife and said. "You are the direct relative of the deceased. You sign it."
The deceased's wife was in a trance, and her hands trembled as she picked up the pen. The deceased's brother-in-law immediately ran over and snatched the pen. "You cannot sign this!"
Zhang Zhiyuan said. "Then tell me the reason."
The brother-in-law stuttered for a long time but could not come up with any reason. Then, he said unreasonably, "No, I can't sign it!"
"I'll sign it!" The old mother spoke again. She snatched the pen from her brother-in-law's hand, quickly signed her name on the four agreements, and pressed her fingerprint on them. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this.
After the old mother signed, she didn't ask for money. She forced herself to stand up and said coldly, "Send me home. I want to go back to see my grandson."
Zhang Zhiyuan turned around and nodded his head at Lu Yiwei before he walked up and handed the bankbook over to his mother. "Aunty, I know that no amount of money can make up for the trauma in your heart, but it has already happened, and we have to face it bravely. Don't worry, your son's death will not be in vain. I will definitely find the murderer and give your son justice. In addition, I will visit you often in the future to pay my respects to your son. "
The old mother was touched to the point that tears rolled down her cheeks and she patted Zhang Zhiyuan's hand. "County Zhang, I've never seen such a high official like you, and I never expected that you would be so easy-going. With your words, I'm relieved. Don't worry, as long as I'm around, they will not cause trouble in the county government. "
After sending his mother off, the family members also left while cursing. Zhang Zhiyuan should've felt relieved, but he couldn't relax. There was still a bigger mystery that he had to unravel. He turned to Cai Jianguo and said, "Pass down the order. From tomorrow onwards, no one is allowed to rest. We will conduct a major investigation, and I will conduct an inspection."
Before he left, the Bureau Chief of the Letter and Calls Bureau came over with an apologetic expression. "County Zhang, I'm also partly responsible for what happened today, and I will reflect on it."
Zhang Zhiyuan had been busy the entire day, and he was truly exhausted. He initially wanted to say something, but he wasn't in the mood at this moment. Shaking his head, he left the conference room.
When he arrived at the entrance of the hospital, it was already pitch black in the county. Only a few scattered lights were shining in the night sky. It was quiet, so quiet that it was terrifying. Zhang Zhiyuan had his hands in his pocket as he looked at the night sky. Despite the northwest wind blowing on his face, he didn't feel cold at all.
Lu Yiwei called to inform him that the deceased's mother and wife had been sent home safely. Zhang Zhiyuan weakly acknowledged and asked, "Yiwei, are you sleepy now?"
Lu Yiwei had no idea what Zhang Zhiyuan was trying to say, so he replied in puzzlement, "County Zhang, I'm not sleepy!"
"Oh." Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Let's find a quiet place. I want to have a drink."
"Alright, wait for me. I'll pick you up now!" Lu Yiwei drove Zhang Zhiyuan's car to the entrance of the hospital.
Lu Yiwei brought Zhang Zhiyuan to Niu Fuyong's residence. This residence had been temporarily requisitioned by Lu Yiwei, and the room was relatively clean.
After Zhang Zhiyuan entered the room, he removed his coat and curled up on the sofa with exhaustion written all over his face.
Seeing this, Lu Yiwei found a blanket from the bedroom and covered Zhang Zhiyuan with it before he went to the kitchen to look for alcohol. After searching for a long time, he finally found something. When he came to the living room with the alcohol, Zhang Zhiyuan was already snoring and sleeping soundly.
Lu Yiwei turned around and looked at the clock on the wall. It was already past 3 am. He was also exhausted after a long day, so he turned off the lights and quietly returned to the bedroom.
Lu Yiwei lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. What happened today was simply a disaster. It was both earth-shattering and suspicious. Why did the peddlers suddenly jump out to demand an explanation for a matter that happened in the afternoon? Who was the organizer? Why were Zhao Zhigang's men at the scene? What role did they play? Why did Liu Kecheng personally call Xiao Dingyuan to release Zhang Zhiyuan? What role did he play in this? And why was the victim stabbed to death inexplicably? What was the purpose of this? Who was the mastermind of the whole incident targeting? And what was the purpose …
Lu Yiwei had already made a bold assumption: Liu Kecheng was the mastermind, Zhang Lefei was the mastermind, Zhao Zhigang was the executor, and the target was Zhang Zhiyuan. This assumption shocked Lu Yiwei. He couldn't believe it was true. Why? Why did Liu Kecheng do this? Was there any unspeakable secret?
It was too horrible! This was a bloody political struggle, not inferior to the struggle with Chu Yunchi in the past. In terms of playing tricks, Zhang Zhiyuan was obviously not a match for Liu Kecheng. Lu Yiwei was faintly worried that the trouble would be directed to him again. Would he go back to the old path? He didn't dare to think further.
The next morning, Lu Yiwei got up early and went out to buy some soybean milk and fried dough sticks. When he came back, Zhang Zhiyuan had already woken up. He was lying on the sofa, smoking and watching the morning news.
Lu Yiwei brought the breakfast to Zhang Zhiyuan and said, "County Zhang, eat it while it's hot. If you don't like it, I'll cook some instant noodles."
Zhang Zhiyuan was not in the mood to eat. He immediately said, "Is there any news from Xiao Dingyuan?"
"Not yet. I'll call him now." Lu Yiwei took out his mobile phone and went to the balcony to ask.
Xiao Dingyuan said on the other end of the phone, "The preliminary results are out. The victim had a knife wound. According to the analysis of the depth and texture of the wound, someone specifically stabbed him from the back. Today, we will carry out the peripheral investigation to find the crime tools and witnesses. But it's quite difficult to obtain evidence. "
Lu Yiwei reported the situation to Zhang Zhiyuan. Zhang Zhiyuan was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table and cursed, "This is simply insane, it makes people's hair stand on end. Tell Xiao Dingyuan that I must get to the bottom of this case. "
Lu Yiwei finally plucked up his courage and said, "County Zhang, don't you think there's something fishy about this whole incident?"
Zhang Zhiyuan sneered, "It's more than fishy. It's simply weird. What kind of hero are you to hurt ordinary people? If you have the guts, come at me directly. I'm not afraid of you!"
Lu Yiwei comforted him, "County Zhang, calm down. The more it's like this, the more calm you have to be. The more calm you are, the more anxious someone will be."
