At this time, Director Wu came over with the doctor on duty. As soon as Gong Yue saw Director Wu, she rushed over. Liu Lihai hurriedly pulled her back. "They beat my dad. I saw that he was injured." Gong Yue struggled and cried.
At this time, the doctors walked into the morgue, lifted the body onto a stretcher, and transferred it to another morgue. Fang Yezi ignored the commotion outside and followed the stretcher into another room.
Gong Daojin was carried onto the bed. The beautician also came in and began to tidy up Gong Daojin's appearance. Gong Yue was still crying. She cried and said, "I want to tell them that I want them to return my dad's life."
Liu Lihai looked at Gong Yue and said, "Little Yue, I'm as sad as you are. I'm also as angry as you are, but …" Liu Lihai didn't know what to say. The complexity of this matter was only his and Yao Haidong's guess.
"Brother, I want to tell them that I want to avenge my dad. Brother, can you help me? "Gong Yue childishly shook Liu Lihai's hand as she spoke.
"Little Yue, do you believe your brother?" Liu Lihai stared at Gong Yue at this time because Yao Haidong had been watching them from the side. He didn't speak, which meant that he was waiting for Liu Lihai to comfort Gong Yue.
"Brother, I believe you. I'll listen to you. But you will also avenge my dad, right? You will also help my dad find out who the murderer is, right? "Gong Yue looked at Liu Lihai with trust.
"I will. But you have to calm down. Don't be too emotional. Don't be too sad. You must take good care of mom. Also, you have to stay with mom. She has deep feelings for dad. Do you understand? Leave the rest to me. Believe in me. I won't let dad die without knowing why. "Liu Lihai comforted Gong Yue while reminding her to pay attention to Fang Yezi's movements.
Gong Yue seemed to realize something after hearing what Liu Lihai said. She said to Liu Lihai, "I'm going to look after my mom. I'll leave the rest to you." After saying that, she walked into another morgue without looking back.
As soon as Gong Yue left, Yao Haidong looked at Liu Lihai and said, "You must do Gong Yue's job well. This matter cannot be blown out of proportion, understand? Since it was a private matter, they had to abide by the procedures. If things get out of hand, we won't be able to deal with it. You know what's important. "
"Thank you, Secretary General." Liu Lihai said softly. He was in a mess because the ending wasn't what Gong Yue wanted. The ending was already private. He, Yao Haidong, and Leng Hongyan were only using this matter to beat Secretary Wu Haotian. They didn't really want to find the murderer. They just wanted to seek justice for Gong Daojin.
There was no shamelessness that made Liu Lihai feel so uncomfortable. He also wanted to cry, but he had no tears left. He needed to keep his spirits up for tomorrow's negotiation.
The next morning, Warden Huang finally showed up. Along with him were a deputy warden and the office director. Of course, Deputy Director Wu was also behind them.
Liu Lihai and Yao Haidong were invited to a room in a hotel in Lincheng. Fang Yezi and Gong Yue were looked after by two female prison guards, so Liu Lihai felt more at ease. However, before they went to the hotel, Gong Yue kept asking to go with them. Yao Haidong signaled Liu Lihai to talk to Gong Yue. It wasn't good to have an outsider in the negotiations between officials.
Liu Lihai, of course, understood what Yao Haidong meant. He tried his best to ask Gong Yue to stay with Fang Yezi because of her health. In the end, Fang Yezi said, "Let Lihai go. He's not an outsider."
After Fang Yezi said this, Gong Yue didn't argue anymore. However, this made Liu Lihai feel even more guilty. He didn't dare to look at Fang Yezi and went to the hotel with Yao Haidong. On the way, Yao Haidong said, "You have to keep your spirits up and act according to my mood."
Liu Lihai nodded and didn't say anything. The two of them entered the hotel room. Because Warden Huang and Liu Lihai knew each other, he got up to shake hands with Liu Lihai. Liu Lihai pointed at Yao Haidong and said, "Warden Huang, this is Secretary General Yao from Jingjiang."
Warden Huang quickly reached out to shake Yao Haidong's hand and said, "Secretary General Yao looks very young. You really have a lot of potential."
Yao Haidong smiled and said, "I'm just trying to make a living. How can I compare to people like you who are armed with knives and guns?"
These words were a little sarcastic. Warden Huang chuckled dryly a few times and said, "Please."
Liu Lihai and Yao Haidong sat down. Warden Huang looked at Director Wu and said, "Little Wu, what are you waiting for? Pour some tea."
Director Wu got up to get a kettle. The sound of water running came from the washroom. No one spoke for a moment, as though they were waiting for Director Wu to boil tea.
The air was a little stuffy. Liu Lihai looked at Yao Haidong. Yao Haidong looked calm and no one could tell what he was thinking. However, since Yao Haidong didn't say anything, Liu Lihai didn't say anything.
Warden Huang looked at Liu Lihai and then at Yao Haidong. He didn't say anything either. It seemed like everyone was competing to see who could last longer.
Director Wu finally boiled the tea and brought it over. The stuffy atmosphere was then broken. Warden Huang was the first to speak. "Have some tea first."
"Okay, thank you." Yao Haidong was polite. Liu Lihai didn't say anything.
Warden Huang knew that the main character of this negotiation was Yao Haidong. He looked calm and he couldn't tell what he was thinking or what cards he would play. Even though they were all in the system and served different people, they were all trying their best to guess each other's intentions.
As he had already spoken, Warden Huang knew that Yao Haidong wasn't an easy person to deal with. He purposely didn't speak just now to force Yao Haidong and Liu Lihai to state their conditions first. However, Yao Haidong didn't say anything. Liu Lihai kept sizing up Yao Haidong. Warden Huang knew that this incident wasn't that simple. However, since he had informed them beforehand, he was just following orders. As long as the family didn't make a fuss and kept the peace, his mission would be completed.
"You are here on behalf of the family. If the family has any requests, can you raise them?" Warden Huang finally got to the point.
"Warden Huang, I saw that Secretary Gong has a serious internal injury and he doesn't have any heart disease. You know that we have a medical checkup every year. Everyone knows what kind of illness he has. So, can you please give us a real reason for the accident? We are all in the same circle. Let's not steal from each other. Moreover, we are all representing the government. From this point, we have the same goal. Am I right, Warden Huang? " Yao Haidong spoke and his words were harsh. Liu Lihai then knew that Yao Haidong was a serious person who dared to challenge others. Of course, because of Leng Hongyan's strong backing, Yao Haidong would certainly speak harshly and tell the other party not to underestimate them.
"This, this …" Warden Huang was no longer as fluent as before. He stuttered a little.
"Xiao Liu is also Secretary Gong's family member. At the same time, you also know that he's currently the deputy head of Lin County and Secretary Gong's godson. Secretary Gong's daughter insisted on coming early in the morning, but I forcefully stopped her. Behind closed doors, at least we're a family. If Secretary Gong's daughter comes, we probably won't be able to say anything. So, if there's anything hidden, please tell us the truth. I have dealt with many similar incidents, big and small, so I know what's going on. So, tell us the truth. We can discuss how to deal with it later. But we need to know the truth. "Yao Haidong's words were reasonable and reasonable.
After Yao Haidong said this, he gave Liu Lihai a hint. Liu Lihai reached out and secretly turned on the recording button on his phone. This was what Yao Haidong had asked Liu Lihai to prepare. Yao Haidong was indeed a veteran. He was thoughtful in all aspects. In this aspect, Liu Lihai felt inferior. Although he had dealt with the old teacher's petition, there weren't many loopholes because he had Sun Xiaomu's help in the dark. Now that the roles had been reversed, as the victim, he still had no experience in negotiating with the ruling party.
Warden Huang looked at everyone present. Everyone was expressionless and waiting for him to speak. Moreover, Yao Haidong was very sincere. Moreover, he was sent by Secretary Wu Haotian. Chief Tao had told him to suppress this matter. Perhaps Yao Haidong was also one of his people. Thus, Warden Huang seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Since both of you know that there's a hidden story in this matter, I won't keep it in secret anymore. This is what happened. One of our prison guards saw Old Gong smoking and went up to ask for a cigarette. But Old Gong didn't know if it was because he didn't have a cigarette or because he didn't want to give it to him. The prison guard pushed Old Gong. Old Gong didn't stand properly and hit a rock. That's how the injury on his chest came about. "
As soon as Warden Huang finished speaking, Liu Lihai couldn't control himself even though he said he wouldn't be agitated. He said angrily, "That injury was obviously caused by a beating, not by hitting a rock."
"DuCounty Deputy Magistrate, you can't say that. Even though our prison guards have all kinds of problems, they still know how to beat prisoners." The other deputy warden beside Warden Huang spoke up. He called Liu Lihai DuCounty Deputy Magistrate on purpose to emphasize that he was only a deputy county magistrate and it wasn't his place to speak.
