"Hugang!" Tian Chunqiu was flustered and exasperated as he reprimanded, "Why are you still saying these words at this time? No matter what, you've gone too far this time. Hou Yongzhi is still alive, but if he's dead, I'll see how you're going to deal with this! Also, you're too stupid. How can you let Kang Dong mobilize the police force to surround the Public Security Bureau? Have you thought about the consequences? If something happens to Kang Dong, how am I going to explain to his father? You've disappointed me. "
Li Hugang still had a nonchalant look on his face as he said, "I'm really not involved in Hou Yongzhi's matter. It's my wife who wasn't calm and did such a stupid thing without discussing with me. As for Kang Dong, I didn't even think of using such a method. It's all because of that Zhang Daqing. He called Kang Dong, and that's how it happened. "
"Enough!" Tian Chunqiu interrupted, "No matter what, the matter has already gone beyond my ability. You should clean up your mess first and then go to the province to find some connections to suppress this matter. If you don't handle it well, I'll see how you'll end up! "
At this time, someone knocked on the office door. Tian Chunqiu saw Guo Jinzhu coming in through the gap and said, "Hugang, this Guo Jinzhu isn't a good person. I can see that he's determined to go against you. You must be prepared. I don't want anything to go wrong at this time. You're on your own."
"He made things difficult for me, so I won't let him have it easy either!" A sinister smile appeared on Li Hugang's face.
As the case came to light, all the evidence pointed to the same person, the Director of the Municipal People's Congress, Li Hugang. However, everyone was in a dilemma as to how to deal with this matter. After all, the other party was a department level leader, a cadre under the direct management of the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. The local government had no right to investigate, let alone enter the judicial process. Guo Jinzhu went to look for Tian Chunqiu many times, but Guo Jinzhu did not give up. Before a meeting, he blocked the door of the office, making Tian Chunqiu very angry. Tian Chunqiu said coldly, "Comrade Jinzhu, I can understand your feelings, but I will still say the same thing. Wait for me to report to the higher-ups before we deal with it, okay?"
Guo Jinzhu immediately retorted, "How long do we have to wait? Could it be that Secretary Hou has become like this for no reason? "
Tian Chunqiu said in disgust, "Comrade Jin Zhu, are you talking to me? What about the principles of Party spirit? We have already done a lot of work on Comrade Hou Yongzhi and carried out a lot of publicity in the province. Moreover, the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee have made important instructions saying that Comrade Hou Yongzhi was injured in the line of duty. Now you suddenly say that he was murdered. How are we going to explain this to the higher-ups? How are we going to convince the public? "
Guo Jinzhu's head spun and he was rendered speechless. He suddenly realized why Tian Chunqiu wanted to publicize Hou Yongzhi. It turned out that this was the foreshadowing. He directly determined that Hou Yongzhi was injured in the line of duty and lost the opportunity to rehabilitate him.
Tian Chunqiu saw that Guo Jinzhu was stunned, so he changed his tone and said, "Comrade Jin Zhu, I have seen the results of the interrogation. The higher-ups said that it was Li Hugang's wife, Zhang Xiaoe, who ordered it, right?"
Guo Jinzhu suppressed his anger and nodded.
"Regarding this matter, I have also questioned Hugang. He said that he didn't know at all because he and Zhang Xiaoe had divorced a few years ago and had been living overseas for a long time."
"What?" Guo Jinzhu was shocked. His eyes darkened as he asked, "He divorced his wife? When did this happen? Secretary Tian, do you believe it? "
"I didn't believe it at first, but when Comrade Hugang took out the divorce certificate, I finally believed it." Tian Chunqiu said, "As for why Zhang Xiaoe wanted to murder Comrade Yongzhi, we will only know the result after we catch her. However, I still say the same thing. Everything should be based on the overall situation and the unity of the team. If anyone wants to destroy the unity and stability, I will be the first to object! "
Guo Jinzhu stumbled back to his office. He did not expect things to become so dramatic. Li Hugang and Zhang Xiaoe divorced? This move was too clever. It turned out that this old fox had already thought of a way out for himself. How cunning.
Guo Jinzhu picked up the phone on his desk and called the director of the municipal bureau, Li Zhentang. "Investigate Zhang Xiaoe for me now. I want all the information. Be quick!"
An hour later, Li Zhentang arrived at Guo Jinzhu's office. He said as soon as he entered the door, "Secretary Guo, the investigation is done."
The information showed: Zhang Xiaoe, born in 1949, primary school education, Bei Zhou City. Married Li Hugang in 1973 and had a daughter. Divorced Li Hugang in 1996, became a Canadian citizen in 1998, and is now single.
When Guo Jinzhu saw this information, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak. After a long time, he said, "Zhentang, do you know about these things?"
Li Zhentang said shamefully, "I just found out about their divorce, but I know about her becoming a Canadian citizen because I handled a lot of the procedures … In addition, there is one more thing I want to explain to you. Zhang Xiaoe changed her name before she went abroad. She is now called Zhang Lin."
It was getting more and more chaotic. Guo Jinzhu took a deep breath and said, "In other words, Zhang Xiaoe does not exist now, right?"
"You can say that."
Guo Jinzhu thought of Xinyuan Coal Mine Equipment Company again. The legal person was Zhang Xiaoe. He asked, "Since she is a Canadian citizen, why can she register a company in China? A joint venture? "
Li Zhentang said, "Everything should be fake."
All the clues were cut off. Guo Jinzhu was angry and scolded Li Zhentang, but what was the use of it? He asked, "What are the chances of catching Zhang Xiaoe across the border?"
Li Zhentang said, "Almost zero. After all, Zhang Xiaoe is now a Canadian citizen and is protected by local laws. If you want to catch her, you need to negotiate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. But China and Canada have not signed an extradition treaty. We have no right to go to other countries to catch people."
"Too cunning!" Guo Jinzhu banged the table and said, "Too cunning! Don't tell me we're helpless? "
Li Zhentang was silent.
At this time, Secretary Li Xiaochuan knocked on the door and came in. He saw the strong smell of gunpowder and was scared to say anything. He stood aside carefully.
Guo Jinzhu's brows furrowed into a big knot. He glanced at her and asked, "What is it?"
Li Xiaochuan said, "Secretary Guo, just now the General Affairs Office informed that Deputy Governor Qiu will come down to investigate Chuangwei at 3 pm. Secretary Tian will go to the province for a meeting and asked you to accompany him."
Guo Jinzhu did not agree and did not say no. He waved his hand and asked Li Xiaochuan to leave.
After Li Xiaochuan left, Guo Jinzhu said, "Zhentang, you will continue to handle the cases here, especially that Ma Linhui. You will immediately take him over from Yongchang. This person knows a lot of Li Hugang's secrets. You have to dig them out bit by bit. I don't believe that Li Hugang is clean and without any problems."
"Okay, I will do it now!"
After Li Zhentang left, Guo Jinzhu called Li Xiaochuan over and asked, "Who arranged the investigation in the afternoon?"
Li Xiaochuan knew that Guo Jinzhu was in a bad mood and said carefully, "Secretary Li asked Secretary Tian for instructions, and Secretary Tian asked you to accompany him."
"Governor Qiu's counterpart should be Mayor Lin. Why should I go? Where is Mayor Lin?" Guo Jinzhu said angrily.
"I'm not sure about this."
"What is the topic of the investigation?"
"Secretary Li said that he is here to check on the progress of building the National Hygienic City. He arranged for us to visit Jiefang Road and the new city district."
"Oh, got it. You must remind me when the time comes." After Li Xiaochuan left, Guo Jinzhu made a cup of tea and carefully sorted out the things that happened these few days. He could tell that Tian Chunqiu's attitude towards Li Hugang was to not deal with him. Was he going to let Hou Yongzhi be wronged for nothing? For a moment, he could not see the situation clearly and could not think of any countermeasures.
After thinking for a long time, he decided to seek help from his old leader, Tan Lao, and ask for his guidance. He looked at the time. It was still early, so he gave a call to Zhang Zhiyuan and said, "I'm going to Tan Lao's house for lunch at noon. Let's go together! Prepare some mountain products and bring them over. "
Zhang Zhiyuan took the opportunity and said, "Should we call Yuxin?"
Guo Jinzhu hesitated and said, "Forget it. If Yuxin is interested, let him visit him alone."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Zhiyuan arranged for Lu Yiwei, "Go and get some wild game. It doesn't need to be much, but it needs to be exquisite. I'm going to the city later."
At noon, Guo Jinzhu and Zhang Zhiyuan went to the scenic area of Mount Tiantong together. Tan Lao would choose to stay at Mount Tiantong for a period of time every summer and winter. He came to avoid the heat in summer and to recuperate in winter. Although this old revolutionary was far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, he was well aware of the current political situation in Xijiang Province.
Guo Jinzhu could not help but frown when he saw Zhang Zhiyuan bringing Lu Yiwei. When Lu Yiwei went to the trunk to take something, Guo Jinzhu asked in a low voice, "Zhiyuan, why do you bring Lu Yiwei everywhere you go? I've never brought Little Chuan to such private occasions. "
Zhang Zhiyuan could hear the hidden meaning in Guo Jinzhu's words and smiled awkwardly, "Yiwei is quick-witted, and I'm reassured to leave many things to him. Furthermore, Yiwei knows how to make rice dumplings, so I got him to help in the kitchen. "
Guo Jinzhu did not speak anymore and went straight to the door.
"Hey! What a rare guest! It's been a while since the two of you came to my place. What brings you here today? Haha! "Tan Lao teased when he saw Guo Jinzhu and Zhang Zhiyuan coming in. It could be seen that he cherished his two beloved disciples very much.
Guo Jinzhu joked, "I don't have a place to eat at noon, so I came here to freeload. I wonder if Tan Lao welcomes us?"
"Of course you're welcome!" Tan Lao laughed, "Isn't it just a pair of chopsticks? But you guys have to be mentally prepared. I'm a vegetarian now, and I'll be eating vegetables every day. Please don't look down on me, haha!"
"Vegetables are fine. I've long lost my appetite for meat and fish. It's annoying to look at it, but there's nothing I can do about it. I can't avoid it!" Guo Jinzhu grumbled.
Zhang Zhiyuan immediately pushed Lu Yiwei forward and respectfully said, "Tan Lao, I knew that you don't have a good appetite, so I got Yiwei to cook for you. I guarantee that you'll like it."
This was their second meeting, and Tan Lao had some impression of Lu Yiwei. He squinted his eyes and asked in doubt, "This lad knows how to cook?"
"Tan Lao, I'm a farmer's child, so I know a little about cooking." Lu Yiwei replied modestly.
