The investigation team of the Commission for Discipline Inspection was still there. Such an investigation team had been here before. Over the years, there had been a lot of complaints about Gong Daojin, but every time he went to Beijing, the investigation team would end up with nothing. His uncle had just passed away, and so many things had happened. Was it really a case of everyone kicking a man when he was down? He was most worried about the house in Shanghai. After Wu Yueying left, the villa would be exposed sooner or later. And the house in Beijing, who could he find to deal with these things now? Usually, a large group of people surrounded him, but these days, no one dared to answer his phone, and no one dared to go to his house. He thought that Liu Lihai would be the most trustworthy person in his life, but early in the morning, he found so many photos in his mailbox, and he really felt very lonely. It was a kind of desperate loneliness. When Gong Daojin thought of this, he had a severe headache.
As soon as Liu Lihai returned to his office, he called Qin Hong, but Qin Hong's mobile phone was still turned off. He didn't have time to think about it, and drove to find Qin Hong. He wanted to ask if these photos were provided by Qin Hong. Why did he do this?
Liu Lihai didn't find Qin Hong. According to Qin Hong's family, he was studying abroad and would return to Lin County in three months. The more he couldn't find Qin Hong, the more Liu Lihai suspected that Qin Hong must be the person who sent the photos to Gong Daojin, and some of the photos on the Internet must have been provided by Qin Hong. Just because he didn't help Qin Hong's cousin, he was hated by Qin Hong? Was Qin Hong such a person? Was this the classmate he thought he should trust? The more Liu Lihai thought about it, the more confused he became.
The scope of the investigation team for Discipline Inspection was getting wider and wider, and many officials in Lin County were asked to talk to them. He didn't know if it was because Liu Lihai hadn't been in Lin County for a long time, or because he wasn't involved in the incident between Liu Shouwang and Gong Daojin, but the investigation team didn't look for him even once. This was the first time he had experienced something like this. He was both curious and nervous, afraid and eager to take off his veil as soon as possible. He wanted to see how Liu Shouwang and Gong Daojin would deal with such an incident, and he also wanted to see whether the investigation team would investigate for real or just go through the motions.
The more nervous they were, the more they were afraid of something happening, and the easier it was for something to happen. That was the case in Lin County. During this period of time, no one in the government wanted anything to happen, but something happened.
At two o 'clock in the morning, a fire broke out at the food factory that had been unable to be demolished. When Shi Zhilin arrived at the scene with several deputy county magistrates, six people had already been burnt to death. When the fire was put out, Gong Daojin was taken away by the people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection. It was said that when he was about to go to the scene of the fire, he was taken to the car by the people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection. As for where he was taken and why he was taken, there were many different versions. Of course, the relationship between Chao Zi and Gong Yue became another topic of discussion in Lin County. One was a famous gangster on the street, and the other was the daughter of the deputy secretary of Lin County. Such love gossip was naturally more interesting than Gong Daojin's story. Some people even said that the fire was man-made, and Gong Daojin was the mastermind. Others said that Chao Zi killed someone first, which caused the fire, and that Gong Daojin was the mastermind behind it.
Liu Lihai wanted to turn a deaf ear to such discussions. However, Shi Zhilin gave him the task of receiving the reporters who came to Lin County for interviews. When he brought the reporters from the provincial capital and Jingjiang City to the scene of the fire, it was surrounded by people from Lin County who wanted to see what was going on. The blackened doors and windows showed the tragedy silently, but no one cared about the deep cause of the tragedy. They let hearsay stories spread one after another at the scene of the fire. Even the reporters who came to interview believed that these unreasonable stories were the truth. But what was the real truth? At least before he met Chao Zi, Liu Lihai felt that everything was wishful thinking and imagination. Of course, he would not tell the reporters that there was actually a crucial person behind the fire.
Liu Lihai called Chao Zi. He wanted to ask him what was going on, but Chao Zi's phone was turned off. He called Gong Yue, but Gong Yue's phone was also turned off. His heart trembled. Could the rumors be true? Was the fire really caused by Chao Zi? But two of Chao Zi's brothers died in the fire. Of course, the boss of the food processing factory also died in the fire.
While the reporters were interviewing and taking photos, Liu Lihai found an excuse to go straight to Gong Yue's house. When Liu Lihai walked into the house that made him feel very close to home, Fang Yezi sat in the living room in a daze. When she saw Liu Lihai, her tears kept falling. She only repeated one sentence to Liu Lihai, "The family is going to break up like this …"
Liu Lihai looked at the family that he had once been extremely envious of. His heart was filled with sorrow. In just a few months, Gong Daojin had been taken away, and Gong Yue and Chao Zi's whereabouts were unknown. Was the family really going to break up?
Liu Lihai felt his eyes moisten. He quickly turned around and said to Fang Yezi with his back facing her, "Mom, I'm leaving. Take care. No matter what happens, you will still be my good mom. "
When Fang Yezi heard Liu Lihai call her mom, she rushed over and hugged him as she cried. As she cried, she said, "Lihai, good boy, I beg you, save Xiaoyu's father. Save Xiaoyu's father."
Liu Lihai nodded heavily. Other than agreeing and giving Fang Yezi hope and hope, what else could he give her to comfort her? Besides, under such circumstances, any language would be useless in Liu Lihai's understanding. Even though he knew that he couldn't save Gong Daojin, and he didn't know how many problems Gong Daojin had, and he didn't know if the fire had anything to do with him, he was willing to leave Fang Yezi a glimmer of hope. People, especially women, were most afraid of losing hope. Liu Lihai already felt guilty towards Wu Yueying, and he didn't want to feel guilty towards Fang Yezi as well. As long as it was within his capabilities, he was willing to give Fang Yezi hope and a future.
？ Lin County gave Liu Lihai a more and more depressing feeling. The office was lifeless. Everyone was afraid that something would suddenly fly out and hit them. Every door was tightly shut, and everyone had a grim expression on their faces. The Lin County government building, which had always been lax at work, could no longer be seen. Of course, laughter could not be heard either. These sudden disturbances made the office's discipline surprisingly good. Even Liu Lihai found it strange that they were so punctual. Fortunately, after he sent away the reporters covering the fire, Shi Zhilin didn't arrange for him to do anything else. But to his surprise, the report of the fire only took up a small space in several provincial newspapers and Jingjiang Daily, and it was placed in an inconspicuous corner. The fire in Lin County, which was rumored to be miraculous, was determined by the news to be caused by an old electrical wire. This made Liu Lihai have a new understanding of Shi Zhilin's ability. He didn't expect that the county magistrate, who had always been indifferent to the matters of Lin County, actually had extraordinary abilities. Such a big fire was defused by him cleverly. The investigation team that came to Lin County, except for talking to some officials, quietly left Lin County. Except for Gong Daojin being taken away and Liu Shouwang being suspended, the other officials' lives went on as usual.
Shi Zhilin suddenly became the backbone of Lin County. He took on the roles of the secretary, deputy secretary, and county magistrate. He had the final say in all the affairs, big or small. But in Liu Lihai's heart, he couldn't get close to him.
Liu Lihai called Secretary Zhou of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. He wanted to ask about Gong Daojin's situation, but Secretary Zhou hung up the phone as soon as he heard his name. He then called Zhao Guangming. Although Zhao Guangming didn't hang up, he said to Liu Lihai over the phone, "Everyone is avoiding Gong Daojin, but you're going all over the world to find out about him. Do you want to die?"
Liu Lihai also knew that Zhao Guangming was doing this for his own good, but he had promised Fang Yezi that he would help her. No matter how big of a crime Gong Daojin had committed, he just wanted to bring more information to Fang Yezi.
Liu Lihai wanted to explain to Zhao Guangming, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only let Zhao Guangming lecture him. After Zhao Guangming was done, he said to Liu Lihai, "It's going to be a change of leadership. You have to be careful of everything you say and do. It wasn't easy to get to where you are today, so you can't ruin your own future. Do you know how many people envy everything you have now? Take Lin Xiaoqing for example. He has long been unhappy with everything you have. You can't go back to the newspaper office and continue working with him, can you? So, focus on your future. "After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Change of leadership? Is it the five-year change of leadership? Liu Lihai turned this question over in his mind a few times. He vaguely understood that everything that happened in Lin County seemed to be related to the change of leadership. During the five-year change of leadership, many people were anxiously eyeing to enter the county committee or be transferred to an important position. Now that a few important positions were suddenly vacant in Lin County, it was no wonder that these people were so cautious.
Liu Lihai was unwilling to give up on finding out about Gong Daojin just like that. He tried to call Yao Haidong, but Yao Haidong picked up his call. He asked Yao Haidong over the phone, "Is Minister Leng okay?"
Yao Haidong said, "She's going to leave."
Liu Lihai said, "Oh," and didn't continue to ask where Leng Hongyan would go. Instead, he turned to the matter of Gong Daojin. Only then did Yao Haidong understand the real purpose of Liu Lihai looking for him. He didn't expect that at such a critical moment, Liu Lihai would still be asking about Gong Daojin.
This boy was mature, but sometimes he did things that were irrelevant. For example, he offended Leng Hongyan when he didn't stand firm, and when Leng Hongyan longed for him to see her, he was so heartless. Now he was running around for Gong Daojin, who was no longer of any use to him, and he didn't care about Shi Zhilin's attitude at all.
