As soon as Liu Lihai finished speaking, Yao Haidong added, "The autopsy report said that the patient died after being hit by a heavy object in the chest. Your prison guards sure worked hard."
Yao Haidong's words were full of sarcasm, making Warden Huang and the others feel awkward, especially Warden Huang. His expression became extremely unnatural. He didn't know what to say, so he started coughing. Everyone stopped talking and looked at him, waiting for him to cough.
After Warden Huang finished coughing, he looked at Yao Haidong and asked, "Did you do an autopsy last night?"
"Of course. Since we're here to negotiate, and it's on the table, we have to be fully prepared. Not only did we do an autopsy, but we also took photos. I'm going to send these two things to Secretary Guo Baoxin. " Yao Haidong looked calm, but Liu Lihai's heart was pounding. The autopsy he mentioned was actually to force the other party to tell the truth. Last night, they found a doctor, but they refused to do an autopsy. Someone probably told them not to spread the news about Gong Daojin's death. But why did Yao Haidong say there was an autopsy report? He said it as if it was the truth. It seemed like he was playing along with Liu Lihai's words to force the other party to tell the truth.
As expected, Warden Huang sighed and said, "I apologize on behalf of the prison guard who hit him, and also to the family." With that, Warden Huang really stood up and bowed to Yao Haidong and Liu Lihai. With that, it wouldn't be right for Yao Haidong and Liu Lihai to continue putting on airs.
Yao Haidong said, "Warden Huang, we appreciate your apology. Can you sit down and discuss it?" Yao Haidong stood up and helped Warden Huang to his seat. Since the two leaders had let go of their attitude, the following negotiations became much smoother.
Warden Huang finally spoke the truth. "Both of you are officials. To be honest, when an accident like this happens, we, as leaders, are extremely unwilling to accept it. Who wouldn't be afraid of an accident like death? But once it happens, we can only follow the orders of our superiors, turning big things into small things and small things into nothing. The two of you should be aware of this method of dealing with it. There is no other way. I might as well tell you the truth. The prison guard who beat him up is a relative of Director Tao's family. We have already reported this matter to our superiors. I believe that Secretary General Yao has also received instructions from our superiors. So, we can sit down and talk together. This can be considered as making up for the gap between our superiors. As long as you don't make a big deal out of this and pacify the family, as long as the conditions are not too harsh, we can negotiate. "
As soon as Warden Huang finished speaking, Yao Haidong said, "Since everyone has spoken, let's raise the opinions of the family members. Secretary Wu Haotian has also instructed me to try my best to keep the peace. However, Xiao Liu is considered a member of Secretary Gong's family, so let him speak his mind. "
Yao Haidong turned his gaze to Liu Lihai. Liu Lihai was much calmer now. At least he knew the truth of the matter and why Secretary Wu Haotian was involved in this matter. It turned out that the prison guard had a background, and a very big one at that. When he first came to visit Gong Daojin, didn't Director Tao also inform him? Then, he, Secretary Wu Haotian, and Secretary General Meng Anda seemed to be on the same line.
"How about this? Everyone doesn't want to make a big deal out of this. Secretary Gong's daughter is only 23 years old, and his wife is in her 50s. As you know, his son-in-law has been sentenced to six years. Secretary Gong was their support in this family. Now that this support is suddenly gone, it can be said that the mother and daughter's basic survival is a problem in the remaining days. So, I ask for one million yuan in compensation. "Liu Lihai said the number according to Yao Haidong.
As soon as Liu Lihai finished speaking, Warden Huang and the few people he brought with him were in an uproar. They looked at Liu Lihai in disbelief and asked, "Is it one million yuan?"
"Isn't a life worth one million yuan?" Liu Lihai asked back.
"He's a criminal, and he's already an old man with half his body in the grave. Is it worth one million yuan?" the deputy warden said coldly.
"Then how much do you think Secretary Gong's life is worth?" Liu Lihai also asked coldly.
"At most one hundred thousand yuan," the deputy warden said.
"Do you know how long Secretary Gong's father lived?" Liu Lihai looked at the deputy warden and asked.
"Does this have anything to do with this incident?" the deputy warden asked again.
"His father lived for 80 years. There are many people who live to 80 years old in Lin County. If you don't believe me, you can check it out. Besides, not only can the 80-year-old people in Lin County take care of themselves, but they can also earn money to protect their families. Do you want me to calculate something for you? Secretary Gong is a very capable person. You should know this. A capable person's value after being released from prison is difficult to estimate, and he is a priceless force to his living relatives. Do you think this is only worth one hundred thousand yuan? "Yao Haidong didn't want to listen to Liu Lihai and the deputy warden's nonsense, so he directly took over the conversation.
"One million yuan is not negotiable?" Warden Huang was also worried that the atmosphere would make it difficult to negotiate. This matter was now within the scope of private settlement, and they were close to their goal.
"No." Liu Lihai's tone was firm as he replied.
"Both of you, please take a seat. I'll report to the higher-ups." After saying that, Warden Huang stood up and left the hotel.
Yao Haidong and Liu Lihai looked at each other, but they didn't say anything. At least, they cooperated well and everything went smoothly. From Liu Lihai's gaze, Yao Haidong also knew that Liu Lihai had recorded the conversation just now. This was the evidence they had in their hands.
After a while, Warden Huang walked in. He sat down and said, "The autopsy results are out. He died after hitting his chest against a rock."
Yao Haidong and Liu Lihai were stunned at the same time. They didn't expect Warden Huang to call the hospital at all. They thought he was calling Chief Tao.
"So, this is an accident." Warden Huang was much more confident.
"But are the series of situations you just said false?" Yao Haidong looked at Warden Huang and asked.
"I'm talking about the background of the prison guards. I didn't mention the hospital's autopsy results because we just received the hospital's autopsy results." Warden Huang was very domineering at this moment.
"So what you're saying is that you made up the truth you just said? It's fake, and the prison guards didn't beat anyone. It was Secretary Gong who committed suicide by hitting a rock, right?" Yao Haidong questioned Warden Huang angrily.
"We didn't say that he died by hitting a rock. As for the results, let's focus on the autopsy." After Warden Huang said that, he looked at Director Wu and said, "Go to the hospital and bring me the autopsy results."
Director Wu stood up and walked out. At this moment, the deputy warden glared at Liu Lihai and looked at Yao Haidong and asked, "Didn't Secretary-General Yao say that you also did an autopsy? What are the results of your autopsy? "
"Are you trying to make a big deal out of this?" Yao Haidong couldn't sit still and stood up in anger.
Liu Lihai didn't expect this to happen. He stood up and pulled Yao Haidong. Yao Haidong threw Liu Lihai's hand away and walked out. Behind him, the deputy warden's cold voice sounded. "Do you think this is Jingjiang? Even in Jingjiang, you're not in charge."
"Okay, you guys wait here." Liu Lihai turned his head and said, then followed behind Yao Haidong and walked out.
As soon as they left the hotel room, Liu Lihai asked Yao Haidong, "Secretary-General, what should we do?"
"Let's do it." After Yao Haidong said that, he took out his phone and called Leng Hongyan. The phone rang once and Leng Hongyan picked it up. She asked, "Things aren't going well, right?"
"The minister understands us. Not only is it not going well, it's very bad. Because we couldn't get the autopsy report from the hospital, but they did. However, we managed to get the truth out of them. We recorded it. What should we do next? Can you give us some suggestions? "Yao Haidong asked Leng Hongyan carefully.
"I'll give Secretary Guo Baoxin a call first. Wait for my call." Leng Hongyan hung up the phone after she finished speaking.
After Yao Haidong put down his phone, he said to Liu Lihai, "Come, let's go to the hospital."
"Aren't we going to negotiate?" Liu Lihai asked.
"I said let's do it. They're not in a hurry, so why should we?" Yao Haidong said and led the way to the elevator.
After Yao Haidong and Liu Lihai arrived at the hospital, Fang Yezi and Gong Yue greeted them at the same time. Gong Yue asked anxiously, "Did you find the murderer?"
Liu Lihai wanted to say something, but Yao Haidong answered Gong Yue first. He looked at her and said, "Their autopsy report is out. It said that Secretary Gong hit his chest on a rock and died accidentally."
"How is that possible? Is there a rock in the prison? "Gong Yue asked in disbelief.
Yes, there couldn't be a rock in the prison. Why didn't Liu Lihai think of this? But at this moment, Yao Haidong said, "It was an accident when he was doing outdoor activities."
Liu Lihai looked at Yao Haidong dumbfounded. He didn't expect Yao Haidong to make up this detail. It was so natural, and he didn't look like someone who knew the truth at all.
At this moment, Liu Lihai's heart was blocked again. He clearly knew the truth, but not only could he not say it, but he also had to cooperate with Yao Haidong to put on this show.
"Yes, Little Yue. Dad accidentally fell on a pile of rocks when he was doing outdoor activities, causing his chest injury and suffocating." Liu Lihai had to cooperate with Yao Haidong because Yao Haidong's gaze had already turned to him.
Gong Yue shook her head. She didn't know what to do other than shaking her head in disbelief.
