Li Rui thought about it and agreed. He instructed the people present, "Then stop the evacuation. Those who haven't been evacuated won't be moved. Village Director, you're responsible for explaining to the villagers that it wasn't the ground that collapsed, but someone deliberately played with the detonator. If the villagers ask who did it, you can tell them directly. "
Zhao Jinyou was anxious and cried out bitterly, "You can't say it was me. If I say it, even if I don't get beaten to death, I'll drown in the villagers' spittle. How can I face the villagers in the future?"
Li Rui snorted coldly and said, "People should be punished when they do something wrong. We're not arresting you because we're letting you off in terms of the law. However, you can forget about escaping from moral punishment."
The deputy director also said, "You should have thought of the possible consequences when you accepted the money last night. What's the use of complaining now?"
Li Rui ignored Zhao Jinyou and turned to Ma Ruoxi and said, "Let's go back to the county." After he finished speaking, he strode out of the courtyard.
Ma Ruoxi swayed her waist and chased after him. She sighed faintly and said, "It seems that I don't need to write this article anymore. I don't know whether to thank you or hate you."
Li Ruiqi looked at her strangely and said, "What do you mean?"
Ma Ruoxi said, "You let me not work, so shouldn't I thank you? But you also let me disobey the chief editor's imperial edict. This time I must have offended him. He'll definitely make things difficult for me in the future. Shouldn't I hate you?"
Li Rui laughed and said, "If he dares to make things difficult for you, he'll have to ask if I agree to it first! Don't worry, this time you offended him because you helped me. If he dares to take revenge on you, I'll take care of him for you. "
Ma Ruoxi was all smiles when she heard that. She said in a coquettish tone, "You're good with words. But if he really wants to take revenge on me, you'll have to teach him a lesson. Wouldn't that make things worse for me?"
Li Rui said, "Then let's resign. I'll arrange a good job for you. I guarantee it'll be ten times or a hundred times better than what you have now."
Ma Ruoxi was even more satisfied. Smiling like a flower, she raised her hand and patted his arm affectionately. "At least you have a conscience!"
The two of them returned to the village, called Long Baoyu, and drove to the county town. They did not speak for the rest of the journey.
Half an hour later, at 4: 45 pm, when the sun was setting, the three of them rushed back to the county. Li Rui called Gao Jianxin and found out that Lu Guohui had been brought back to the County Public Security Bureau. Then, he drove straight to the County Public Security Bureau.
When Li Rui saw Lu Guohui, he was in an interrogation room on the first floor of the County Bureau. He was the only one in the room. Before entering the interrogation room, Gao Jianxin had already briefed Li Rui on the interrogation: Lu Guohui had confessed to bribing Zhao Jinyou with money, making him detonate the detonator in Xinguang Village, and creating chaos. However, he claimed that it was just for fun and had no other intentions. At the same time, he firmly denied that the online posts had anything to do with him. Gao Jianxin saw that he couldn't get anything else out of him, so he asked the police officer in charge to do other things for the time being and wait for Li Rui to arrive.
"You are Lu Guohui?"
Standing in front of the interrogation table, Li Rui asked Lu Guohui. He had already sized up this person who was neither big nor small. He saw that he was about 30 years old, had a crew cut, and looked very energetic, especially his eyes. They were not very big, but they were shining, comparable to Sun Bo's small eyes. He was about 1.75 meters tall, had a well-proportioned body, and was very well-dressed. At first glance, one could tell that he was a superior person.
Lu Guohui sized him up and asked arrogantly, "Who are you?"
Gao Jianxin scolded, "Watch your tone. This is the County Magistrate Li. The County Magistrate Li is in charge of the Xinguang Village incident."
Lu Guohui's face changed slightly after hearing that. He carefully sized up Li Rui, then lowered his head and ignored him.
Li Rui asked, "Tell me honestly, who ordered you to do this?"
Lu Guohui slowly raised his head and looked at him in confusion. He asked, "Why does everyone ask this question? No one ordered me to do this. I wanted to mess around, so I asked Zhao Jinyou to do it. If you want to punish me, then punish me. "
Li Rui was not angry after hearing that. He asked again, "Those posts on the Internet have nothing to do with you, right?"
Lu Guohui said resentfully and gloomily, "I have already said it 800 times. What posts on the Internet? I don't know anything about them. What does it have to do with me?"
Li Rui sneered and said, "Does it have nothing to do with you? According to Zhao Jinyou's confession, you took photos and videos with your phone when they were at the scene, and these photos and videos later appeared on those posts. Now you are denying that it has anything to do with you. Isn't this a joke? "
Lu Guohui shook his head and said, "I didn't take any photos or videos. Zhao Jinyou must have remembered wrongly. If you don't believe me, you can check my phone. "
When Li Rui heard him say that, he knew that he had deleted all the evidence on his phone. There was no point in checking. Just as he was about to say something, his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was Zang Ning calling. He quickly answered and said, "Sister Zang Ning, it's me."
Zang Ning went straight to the point and said, "The real IP of the person who posted the posts has been found. By the way, the Internet Police Detachment has determined the location. There is a 'Huaguang Photography Studio' on the West Ring Road of Shuanghe County. The mobile broadband used by the studio is the IP of the person who posted the posts. You can ask the Internet Police Detachment in your county to check it out. They will definitely find traces left by the person who posted the posts. Then we can use the person who posted the posts as a breakthrough. The truth might be revealed. "
Li Rui was surprised and happy. At present, he and the others were helpless against Lu Guohui, who was stubbornly denying it. Suddenly, a new clue came. It was like a timely rain. He laughed and thanked her, "That's great, Sister Zang. I really don't know how to thank you."
Zang Ning laughed and said, "Hey, we are all on the same side. You don't have to be so polite. If you need anything in the future, just say it."
Li Rui thanked her and put away his phone. He smiled and asked Lu Guohui, "Lu Guohui, are you familiar with Huaguang Photography Studio?"
Lu Guohui's face changed when he heard that, but he quickly pretended to be calm and said, "I know. There are only a few photography studios in the county. Huaguang, Leying, Xinli, and Lido. Who doesn't know?"
Li Rui said, "I asked if you were familiar with it. I didn't ask if you knew. "
Lu Guohui said, "I'm quite familiar with it. I often go there to develop photos."
Li Rui laughed and said, "I thought you were the owner. So you are not."
Lu Guohui frowned and said, "What are you trying to say? What happened to Huaguang Photography Studio? "
Li Rui turned to Gao Jianxin and said, "Send someone to Huaguang Photography Studio on Xihuan Road immediately. Check if there are any records of posts on the computers there. Also, check if there are any words, pictures, or videos that reflect the West Mine Village incident. Also, ask the computer operator and the owner if they know anything."
Gao Jianxin agreed and turned to leave the room. He did not mention anything about it.
Lu Guohui watched Gao Jianxin leave and his expression became frightened. He then looked at Li Rui and his throat kept moving.
Li Rui explained to Ma Ruoxi who was beside him, "This group of people is very cunning. They used a proxy IP when they posted online in an attempt to avoid being tracked down by the Internet police. Unfortunately, they don't know that justice has a wide net. As long as you do something bad, you will definitely be found out."
Ma Ruoxi did not care about the IP at all. She just pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "You'd better ask them if any of them have a direct connection to my chief editor. Otherwise, my chief editor would not have asked me to write a thesis. I don't believe that the editor-in-chief took this matter so seriously just because he saw the so-called few posts you mentioned. Those posts definitely didn't reach that level of popularity. At least, before I received the editor-in-chief assignment, I had never heard of this matter. "
Li Rui nodded and asked Lu Guohui, "Are you still not going to admit it?"
Lu Guohui's expression was bitter. He lowered his head slightly and did not say anything. His eyes kept moving around. Suddenly, he raised his head and said, "Okay, I admit that those posts on the Internet are related to me. I was the one who asked the owner of Huaguang Photography Studio to post them."
Li Rui said, "Why did you ask him to post those posts?"
Lu Guohui replied, "I'm just here to watch the show. I want to create more excitement."
Li Rui snorted and said, "It's understandable that you want to create more noise. There are always a small group of people in the world who want to see the world in chaos and spread false news everywhere. But the problem is, if you want to create more noise, is it necessary to send a complaint letter to the provincial leader's email? The report is clearly directed at our Shuanghe County. Has the county government ever mistreated you? Your previous leader, Su Tao, is still working in the county government. Aren't you worried that this incident will implicate him? "
Lu Guohui was like a rabbit whose tail was on fire. He instantly became anxious and yelled, "Why are you mentioning Mr. Su? This has nothing to do with him!"
Li Rui was stunned when he saw Lu Guohui's overreaction before he laughed, "I didn't say that it has anything to do with Mr. Su, so why are you so agitated? Could it be that Mr. Su instructed you to do this? "
"No, that's definitely not the case. Don't let your imagination run wild. Otherwise … otherwise, I'll tell Mr. Su!"
When Long Baoyu heard this, he yawned out of boredom and said to Ma Ruoxi, "It's too boring here. Why don't we go out for a while?"
Ma Ruoxi glared at him. "Why are you always teasing me? Are you trying to hit on me? I'm telling you, kid, go play by the side. I like mature men! "
Long Baoyu awkwardly scratched his head. "Are you saying that I'm not mature?"
Ma Ruoxi coldly replied, "Mature men won't try to hit on beauties. Even if they do, they will try to do it quietly. You're being too obvious. Only a kid would do that."
Long Baoyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He asked Li Rui, "Where did you get this godsister from? Why is she so difficult to deal with?"
