Li Rui shook his head and said, "I thought so too, but then I realized that the probability of him doing so is very low …" As he spoke, he told him his thoughts and his experience, emphasizing two points. First, even if he wanted to inquire about his family's situation, he wouldn't be able to do so because no one else knew about it. Second, he didn't force him to pay for his divination, and he even allowed him to pay for it. How could there be such a swindler in the world? Unless he was plotting something bigger? But if he really used fortune-telling as a deceiving technique, what greater scheme could he have?
After listening to him, Song Chaoyang fell into deep thought. When he came back to his senses, he already had a strong interest in Fa Yu. He said, "You said he was hanging out at the Bodhi Temple in the west of the city. Is the Bodhi Temple far?" Li Rui shook his head and said, "It's not far. It's not far from the West Third Ring Road." Song Chaoyang said, "That's good. After lunch, let's go to the Bodhi Temple. I want to meet the great monk and ask him to read my fortune for me as a distraction. I don't have to work in the afternoon. "
Li Ruixin was secretly happy. If he didn't have to work in the afternoon, then he could treat Chen Lihan to dinner and drink with Xu Da afterwards. Both sides wouldn't be affected. This was perfect. He said, "Okay, I'll find a car with the secretary. After lunch, I'll take you there. By the way, you'd better change into something more ordinary. Don't let Fa Yu see through your identity. You don't know, but he's very smart. He knows everything … "
The two of them planned well, but before they could leave, they were blocked by the secretary general, Du Minsheng, who rushed in.
"Secretary, I just received news that Xu Shenghua, the former director of the Qingyang Academy of Music and Art, was found dead in an abandoned motor-operated well in the outskirts of Gaokai District this morning. His suicide note was left on the ground beside the well!"
Du Minsheng finished speaking calmly, but his expression wasn't as calm as his tone. He was a little flustered and nervous.
Song Chaoyang was shocked. His mouth was wide open, but no words came out.
Li Rui was also shocked. If it wasn't for the Secretary General's serious expression, he would have thought that he was joking. But then again, Du Minsheng almost never joked in the unit.
Song Chaoyang thought for a while and asked coldly, "What did he write in his suicide note? Did he commit suicide just because I wanted to investigate him?" Du Minsheng slowly shook his head and said, "We haven't received the will yet, so we don't know what was written in it. Why don't I ask the Public Security Bureau to send it over?" Song Chaoyang declined to comment and asked, "Does the Municipal Education Bureau know about it?" Du Minsheng shook his head and said, "I'm not sure."
Li Rui said, "I'll give Chief Sang a call and ask." Song Chaoyang nodded.
Li Rui then went outside to call the Municipal Education Bureau's Chief Sang Tongguang. Song Chaoyang and Du Minsheng, who were left in the inner room, looked at each other. They were both silent and had their own thoughts.
Not to mention Xu Shenghua's character and how many mistakes and problems he had committed, just the fact that he died because Song Chaoyang investigated the City Conservatory of Music and Arts meant that Song Chaoyang had something to do with his death. Even though he committed suicide for fear of punishment and had nothing to do with Song Chaoyang according to the law, Song Chaoyang still had to bear some responsibility from a human's perspective. And the Secretary General, Du Minsheng, who accompanied Song Chaoyang during the investigation, couldn't escape either. He was more or less involved. The two of them considered that they had something to do with Xu Shenghua's death, which was why their hearts were so heavy.
Outside, Li Rui was already on the phone with Sang Tongguang. He didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point. "Chief Sang, may I ask if you know about Xu Shenghua's suicide?" Sang Tongguang seemed to be stunned by this news. He didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he said with a trembling voice, "Li … Chief Li, what did you say? Xu … Xu Shenghua committed suicide? "Li Rui frowned." You mean you don't know about this? "Sang Tongguang shouted," How is that possible? Ah, yes, I don't know. I don't know at all. How is that possible? Chief Li, you're not joking, right? "Li Rui asked," Why is it impossible? "
Sang Tongguang was stunned for a while. "It's just impossible. He's already under the control of the Discipline Inspection Team and is going through the procedures. He's confined to a staff dormitory under the head office of our bureau's school-run enterprise. He can't go anywhere. There are specialized Discipline Inspection Team members watching over him. How could he commit suicide? Even if he did, I should know about it. He … did he really commit suicide? Where did he commit suicide? When did it happen? Aiya, I don't know anything. "
He appeared shocked and agitated. Li Rui couldn't see any flaws in his expression. He asked, "The staff dormitory he was confined to, which district is it in?" Sang Tongguang said, "It's in the southern district, not far from our bureau." Li Rui said, "He committed suicide in Gaocheng District." Sang Tongguang was shocked. "Heavens, how is that possible? How did he get out? Even if he grew wings and could fly, the staff watching over him should be able to grab him. What exactly happened? I'll make a call to ask right away. Chief Li, please wait for a moment. "After he finished speaking, he hurriedly hung up.
Li Rui didn't rush back to the inner room to reply to the two leaders. After all, he hadn't received any valuable information yet. He was still waiting outside for Sang Tongguang's reply. He was also puzzled. From Xu Shenghua's reaction after being reported by Liu Yue and the other female teachers, he was a person who cherished his life. In theory, even if someone who cherished his life was beaten to death, he wouldn't choose to commit suicide. On the other hand, even if he wasn't afraid of death, there was no need for him to commit suicide to avoid a prison sentence at most. This was a trade that couldn't be more unprofitable. If he committed suicide because of shame and anger, he was so thick-skinned that he dared to deny and lie in front of Song Chaoyang and the other city leaders. His skin was thicker than a brick. Would such a thick-skinned person be afraid of losing his reputation?
Thinking of this, he thought of the Heiyao Gully Mine Disaster Serial Case that happened last year. Hiss … Could it be that Xu Shenghua wanted to live, but someone or some other people didn't want him to? If this was really the case, then how much profit was involved that would make someone take the risk to silence him? Moreover, Xu Shenghua himself was already a Deputy Division Chief, and there were not many people who were related to his industry and could benefit from him. The target range was very small, and once it was discovered that it was a homicide and not a suicide, the police would be able to quickly find the real culprit. Would the real culprit be that stupid? So, it was still suicide?
He waited and waited. After waiting for ten minutes, Sang Tongguang still didn't call back. At this time, Du Minsheng suddenly opened the door and asked, "You still haven't gotten through?"
Li Rui hurriedly said, "I got through a long time ago. Chief Sang wants to investigate something. I'm waiting for his reply. Forget it, I'm not waiting anymore. I'll call him and ask. "Du Minsheng nodded and went back into the room.
The phone rang three times before it was picked up. Li Rui's boss said impatiently, "Chief Sang, did you find out?"
Sang Tongguang sighed and said, "Oh, Chief Li, it turns out that today is the weekend. The staff member who was watching over Xu Shenghua was a little careless. He felt that there was nothing to do today, so he secretly went home this morning and sent his child to the Taekwondo gym. When he returned, it was already morning, and he found that Xu Shenghua was no longer in the room. He also knew that he had made a mistake, so he didn't dare to inform the leader immediately. Instead, he looked around, and when he couldn't find him, he told the leader about it. His leader, who is also the head of our bureau's discipline inspection team, is directly under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. He knew that the most important thing right now was to find him, and not to inform me, the bureau chief. The point was that even if he informed me, it would be useless. So, he didn't say anything to me and went to find him first. I only found out after calling him. If you hadn't called me and told me that he had committed suicide, I would have thought that he had run away. I really didn't expect him to commit suicide. Why would he commit suicide? Why can't he get over it? "
Li Rui carefully combed through his words. After a while, he asked, "No one in the Municipal Commission of Education knows about Xu Shenghua's death, right?" Sang Tongguang said very cautiously, "In any case, I don't know. The head of the discipline inspection team that I just contacted also doesn't know. As for whether or not other people know, I don't know. Maybe someone knows, but I don't know."
This wasn't a tongue twister, but it was even more so. Li Rui felt a headache coming on. At this time, there wasn't anything else that he needed to know from Sang Tongguang, so he politely said a few words before hanging up. He walked into the inner room and reported the situation to the two leaders, Song Chaoyang and Du Minsheng.
Du Minsheng grasped the crux of the matter with one sentence. "Xu Shenghua died at the right time. He was in the ambiguous stage after being controlled and before being subjected to the dual interrogation. If he had been subjected to the dual interrogation, then he wouldn't have been able to escape from the controlled room, let alone commit suicide. "
The dual interrogation system had strict rules. When it came to the location of the dual interrogation, it had to meet the two most basic requirements of confidentiality and safety. For example, for confidentiality, the location had to be secluded. There were few outsiders coming in and out, and the conditions for food and accommodation had to be more convenient. Guest houses, hotels, training centers, and so on were often used as the location of the dual interrogation. For safety, the rooms had to be on the first floor. It was forbidden to contact the case parties on the first floor and above. Protective fences had to be installed in the escort room, office, conversation room, hallway, bathroom, and other places with hidden safety hazards. The power lines had to be installed secretly and couldn't be exposed to the outside. The bathroom door had to be unlocked, and the hanging points in the bathroom were to be checked to see if they had been removed.
