As it turned out, Lu Tao's prediction about the murderer, Jin Zhihao, was correct.
On the third morning after Wu Liangmin was killed by Jin Zhihao, news came from the Public Security Bureau: Jin Zhihao's body was found in a reservoir in Da Yu Village. After the forensic examination, Jin Zhihao was strangled with a steel wire and dumped into the reservoir. The time of death was around twenty hours ago.
In other words, Jin Zhihao was killed on the night he killed Wu Liangmin, which was completely in line with Lu Tao's prediction.
After Jin Zhihao was murdered, the Public Security Bureau investigated this case together with Wu Liangmin's murder case. However, because the murderer was very cunning, he didn't leave any clues when he killed Jin Zhihao, so the investigation was in trouble.
A few days later, the Discipline Inspection Team of Taolin County Local Taxation Bureau received a letter from the County Commission for Discipline Inspection. Attached to the letter was Luo Zhongxia's report and related evidence, requesting the County Local Taxation Bureau to investigate the suspected violation of law and discipline by the Inspection Bureau Director, Xiao Qingshan.
On the second day after receiving the letter, the Taolin County Local Taxation Bureau decided that the Inspection Bureau Director, Xiao Qingshan, would be suspended for investigation, while Lu Tao would temporarily act as the Inspection Bureau Director.
This decision was made by the top leader, Wang Zhichang. At that time, two deputy directors asked, "Lu Tao had just been promoted to the Inspection Bureau as the deputy director, so how could he be the acting director? Li Xiangming and Hu Hongbin were both senior deputy directors, so why not choose one of them as the acting director? "
Wang Zhichang explained, "In the case of the Qingyun Hotel, Li Xiangming was the chief inspector, and Hu Hongbin was in charge of the trial. From the content of Luo Zhongxia's report, there was a major violation of law and discipline during the inspection. Even if these two people didn't accept bribes from Luo Zhongxia, they had given hundreds of thousands of yuan of tax relief to the Qingyun Hotel under Xiao Qingshan's interference and instigation. At the very least, they had committed fraud and dereliction of duty. After Xiao Qingshan's case was investigated, the County Bureau also had to investigate the two of them, so they were not suitable to be the acting director.
After hearing this explanation, the members of the County Bureau's Party couldn't say anything, so the matter of Lu Tao being the acting director was settled.
On the second day after he became the acting director, Lu Tao arranged two inspection teams to conduct a tax inspection on Hongxin Credit Guarantee Company and Taihe Construction Company under Liu Hong's name.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Lu Tao did not lead the team to enter the two companies. However, during the inspection, he went to the site many times in the name of an inspector and personally looked at the account books and vouchers, trying to find clues that some leaders had invested in the two companies.
However, until the inspection was completed, Lu Tao did not find any valuable clues or evidence from the accounts. The only result was that the two companies had paid less than eight million yuan in local taxes.
Liu Hong was very cooperative this time. When the first draft of the audit came out, he readily admitted the fact that he had underpaid the tax and was willing to accept the administrative punishment from the tax authorities. At the same time, he also took the initiative to say that O 'Neal Hotel did use the real and fake accounts to evade taxes. He would ask Liu Feiyan to take out the real account book and hand it over to the Inspection Bureau for a new inspection conclusion. As for the taxes that should be paid, the late fees, and the fines that should be paid, the hotel would be in full on time.
Lu Tao guessed that Liu Hong's willingness to pay the taxes and fines according to the inspection conclusion should be due to two considerations. First, the original head of the Taolin County Local Taxation Bureau, Long Jianbin, had retired, and the head of the Inspection Bureau, Xiao Qingshan, had also fallen. The new head, Wang Zhichang, didn't have a good relationship with him, so he had lost his protection in the Local Taxation Bureau. He could only pay the taxes and fines according to the inspection conclusion. Second, Lu Tao had just become the acting director of the Inspection Bureau. Liu Hong wanted to express his support in this way to further rope him in.
That night, Lu Tao had just taken a shower and was about to watch the news when Du Xiaoyu suddenly knocked on the door and came in.
Ever since his mother's birthday party at O 'Neal Hotel, although Lu Tao didn't explicitly say that he wanted to break up with Du Xiaoyu, his attitude toward Du Xiaoyu had obviously become much colder. Usually, he wouldn't take the initiative to call her. Sometimes, he would deliberately not answer her calls or reply to her messages. If Du Xiaoyu asked him out for dinner, karaoke, or a movie, he would usually decline with the excuse that he had other social engagements. So, from the day of the birthday party until now, he and Du Xiaoyu had basically not been alone together.
Du Xiaoyu was a very smart person. Naturally, she knew the reason why Lu Tao was giving her the cold shoulder. However, her feelings for Lu Tao were getting deeper and deeper, to the extent that she couldn't extricate herself from it. So, during this period, she kept calling and texting Lu Tao, wanting to tell him how much she missed him. She wanted to explain to him that she was kind enough to organize the birthday party for his mother. She wanted to explain to him the conflict and gap between her and her family.
However, Lu Tao often didn't answer her calls or reply to her messages. He also didn't accept her invitations for dinner or karaoke. This made her very distressed and sad. There were a few times when she directly went to the "Green Coast Mansion" district to look for Lu Tao. She wanted to talk to him face to face. However, she didn't know if Lu Tao deliberately didn't open the door or if she was just unlucky. Every time she went to look for Lu Tao, she didn't meet him.
Just two days ago, her big sister Liu Feiyan suddenly asked her, "Xiaoyu, how are you getting along with Lu Tao? Is he good to you? "
Du Xiaoyu saw her suddenly ask this question and her heart ached. However, she didn't want to tell her the truth, so she answered, "Big sister, Lu Tao is very good to me. We get along very well."
Liu Feiyan looked at her with suspicion and said, "Xiaoyu, I know you're introverted and like to keep everything to yourself. You don't want to tell others. But I'm your big sister, the person closest to you. I'm also the person who cares about you the most and loves you the most. If there's a problem with your relationship with Lu Tao, you must tell me. I'll think of a solution for you. Don't keep it to yourself until you're dead! "
Du Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "Big sister, Lu Tao and I are really good. You don't have to worry about us."
Liu Feiyan sighed and said, "Xiaoyu, do you think I'm blind? You've been frowning and sulking all this time. When have you been really happy? You like Lu Tao so much. If you really have a good relationship with him, you'll definitely be smiling and happy. How can you be so worried? Besides, you stay at home every night and don't go out. I don't see you and Lu Tao going out to eat or sing. How is this like dating? "
