It was 3: 30 in the morning, and it was still snowing heavily outside, accompanied by the northwest wind, which was surprisingly cold. Lu Yiwei thought about how to deal with it while driving, while Xia Jinhe curled up in the passenger seat and kept crying like a wounded deer. No matter how powerful a strong woman was, she was not as calm as a man in the face of a big problem.
"Yiwei, do you think my brother really killed someone?" Xia Jinhe cried and asked over and over again. She couldn't accept the reality.
Lu Yiwei was confused, comforting her while thinking. If this happened in Nanyang, everything would be fine. The problem was that it happened in Guchuan County, so he couldn't control it. The most important thing was to understand the whole story.
The weather was extremely bad. Not only was his vision blurred, but the car was also skidding. Lu Yiwei could only move forward like a snail based on experience, and he almost lost his tail when he made a few turns.
Time waited for no man, so Lu Yiwei gave up the idea of asking Mother Xia. After thinking about it, he only knew one person in Guchuan County, Bai Yuxin, who had just been transferred to the organization department. But it was not the right time to call her at this time. Besides, he was not in the public security system, so he couldn't make too much noise.
After thinking about it, Lu Yiwei thought of Luo Zhiqing, the director of the Public Security Bureau. Yes, Luo Zhiqing was the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau in Guchuan County, so it was best to ask him to come forward. He didn't care so much, took out his mobile phone, found Luo Zhiqing's number, and dialed it.
Luo Zhiqing was naturally asleep, but it was common for him to answer the phone in the middle of the night. His first instinct was that something had happened in his territory, so he picked up without hesitation. After hearing that it was Lu Yiwei, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After listening to Lu Yiwei's explanation of the situation, Luo Zhiqing said calmly, "Yiwei, don't panic. Director Jiang Yongchang is my best friend, so I'll ask about it for you now. You must be careful on the road. "
People could only see their true feelings at critical moments. Although he was not very familiar with Luo Zhiqing, his words made him feel warm. Lu Yiwei hung up and focused on driving.
The weather was getting worse and worse, and the windshield wipers could not withstand the cold and suddenly stopped working. Lu Yiwei got out of the car and took a look. The connecting rod of the windshield wiper was broken and could not be used at all. He had no choice but to turn the air conditioner to the maximum and blow at the windshield. Even so, it didn't work. He had no choice but to move forward for a while. He got off the car and scratched the car with the tape.
Half an hour later, Luo Zhiqing called. He said, "Yiwei, the situation is just as you said. There was indeed a group fight in an entertainment venue early this morning. One person died on the spot, and three others are currently being treated in the hospital. Their lives are not in danger. I asked the criminal police to investigate. There was indeed a man named Xia Jinpeng who worked in the Health Bureau of Guchuan County. As for whether or not he was the main culprit, further investigation was needed. Currently, they were all detained in the detention center. Yiwei, it has happened. You must calm down and wait patiently for the Public Security Bureau to make a decision. Then, you can consider other things. "
Hearing this, Lu Yiwei felt as if someone had pinched his heart. He was in so much pain that he wanted to die. What he was worried about had finally become a reality. He asked, "Is Xia Jinpeng really involved?"
Luo Zhiqing said, "Yiwei, I understand your feelings, but I can't answer you. What is certain is that Xia Jinpeng was at the scene. "
"Okay, thank you, Chief Luo. I'm sorry to disturb your rest." Lu Yiwei was upset.
Luo Zhiqing said, "Don't worry. I'll go and see after dawn. I've already talked to Chief Jiang. At least, Xia Jinpeng will not be wronged. Don't worry! "
Lu Yiwei didn't know how to thank him, so he nodded and said thank you.
It was originally an hour's drive, but Lu Yiwei walked for a full three hours. When he arrived at Guchuan County, the sky was already slightly bright.
When he arrived at the Xia family's house, Mother Xia sat alone on the sofa and looked at the ceiling in horror. When she saw Xia Jinhe, she burst into tears. "Daughter, you're finally back. You have to save your brother. He is the lifeblood of our Xia family. If anything happens to Jinpeng, I don't want to live anymore …"
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly. Lu Yiwei didn't care about this and said, "Jinhe, stay at home with mom. I'll go to the Public Security Bureau now to understand the situation."
"I'll go too!" Xia Jinhe said with red and swollen eyes.
"What are you going to do? Don't go. Just stay with mom. "After that, he quickly flew out of the yard, jumped into the car and drove to the Public Security Bureau.
The vicious incident that happened last night had spread throughout Guchuan County. At this time, people had gathered on the roadside and were enthusiastically discussing last night's incident. Lu Yiwei was worried for Xia Jinpeng. If he really did do it, no one could save him. However, Lu Yiwei was determined. Even if he had to use all his connections, even if he had to go bankrupt, he had to get Xia Jinpeng out.
When he arrived at the Public Security Bureau of Guchuan County, it was still brightly lit. After getting out of the car, Lu Yiwei hurriedly ran into the building and went straight to the office of Director Jiang Yongchang.
At this time, Jiang Yongchang was holding a meeting in his office to discuss the incident. This kind of thing happened in his territory, which fully showed that he had neglected his duty and did not manage the public security environment well. How could he explain this to his superiors? He was also worried, especially about the nature of the case. It couldn't be light, but it couldn't be heavy either. The most important thing now was that it was still uncertain whether the three people lying in the hospital were dead or alive. As a matter of fact, they were urgently negotiating to determine what to do next.
When Lu Yiwei was about to go in, he was stopped by a policeman outside the door. The policeman said angrily, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Are you blind? Can't you see that this is the director's office? Why are you barging in? Is this a place where you can enter? Get out! "
Lu Yiwei had heard that the police were usually arrogant. He was not angry, but said, "Comrade, please inform your director that Lu Yiwei from Nanyang County wants to see him."
"Nanyang County?" The policeman said disdainfully, "Even if he is from the provincial capital, he won't see him now. Go!" After that, he slammed the door.
Not seeing Jiang Yongchang, Lu Yiwei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. After thinking calmly, he decided to ask for help from Bai Yuxin.
He called Bai Yuxin. It was Sunday, and Bai Yuxin was still sleeping at home. She did not want to pick up the phone, but her phone kept ringing, so she picked it up angrily. "Who is it?"
After hearing that it was Lu Yiwei, Bai Yuxin's tone changed. "It's Yiwei. What's the matter?"
Lu Yiwei briefly explained the situation, and Bai Yuxin was shocked. "I understand. Wait for me, I'll be there soon."
Lu Yiwei paced back and forth in the corridor. Xia Jinhe called to ask about the situation. Lu Yiwei comforted her, but he did not know what to do. He could only wait.
At this time, Jiang Yongchang walked out of the office. Lu Yiwei immediately greeted him. "Chief Jiang, I am Lu Yiwei …"
Jiang Yongchang looked at Lu Yiwei with a cigarette in his mouth. "Oh, it's Yiwei. Chief Luo and Minister Bai called. Don't worry, the case is still under investigation. I'll get back to you when the results are out, okay?"
Jiang Yongchang's tone was stiff, as if he was complaining that Lu Yiwei kept asking others to call him. In the government, it was taboo to ask several people to do the same thing. The people above were unreasonable, and they exerted pressure on others. Who would be willing to do that? Jiang Yongchang used a bureaucratic tone to fool Lu Yiwei, but he did not buy it.
Lu Yiwei felt insignificant at this time, and he asked shamelessly. "Chief Jiang, can you let me see Xia Jinpeng?"
Jiang Yongchang looked at Lu Yiwei meaningfully and asked. "Do you think it's okay?"
"…"
Jiang Yongchang did not speak again, and he hurried down the stairs.
What should I do? What should I do? Jiang Yongchang did not give me face. Should I just wait here? But what else can I do? Lu Yiwei went downstairs and stood in the courtyard, smoking. He was looking forward to Bai Yuxin's arrival.
Bai Yuxin was kind enough to arrive an hour later. After entering the Public Security Bureau, she got out of the car and shook hands with Lu Yiwei. "Yiwei, don't worry. I have already informed Yongchang. I will go and see him later. Don't worry, the case is not clear yet. "
"Mayor Bai, you are the only person I know in Gu Chuan County. You have to help me." Lu Yiwei whispered.
Bai Yuxin patted Lu Yiwei's arm and nodded. "I know what I'm doing." After that, she strode into the Public Security Bureau.
After Bai Yuxin went upstairs, Gu Tong got out of the car and handed two sesame seed cakes and a cup of hot soy milk to Lu Yiwei. "Minister Lu, have something to eat."
Bai Yuxin took Gu Tong with her when she came to Gu Chuan County. Lu Yiwei could be considered as Gu Tong's talent scout. If he did not introduce him to Bai Yuxin, he would not be where he is today. He was very grateful to Lu Yiwei.
Lu Yiwei was not in the mood to eat. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Gu Tong, I'm not hungry. You eat."
Gu Tong insisted. "How can he not eat? Don't worry. Minister Bai will do his best. I believe Jinpeng will be fine. Minister Bai has been calling me on the way here. With him, there will be no problem. "
Gu Tong was not good with words, but every word he said was full of sincerity. Lu Yiwei patted his shoulder. "Thank you, Gu Tong."
As they were chatting, another car drove into the courtyard. "That's our County party committee's Secretary Xiao's car." Gu Tong said.
It was not surprising that the County party committee's Secretary Xiao was alarmed. Shortly after, the County party committee's Secretary Xiao Zhiliang got out of the car with his hands on his stomach. His secretary followed behind him and entered the building.
Lu Yiwei's heart was beating fast. He had a premonition that Xia Jinpeng might not be able to escape this calamity. Thinking about Xia Jinpeng's family, he couldn't help sighing.
