Jiang Haiguang smiled.

Qiu Yan kicked the ball back to him and asked him, the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, to take the initiative to explain to him why he was looking for him today. Moreover, he was testing his attitude towards Xiao Tian's case. He won't tell him the truth until he knows his true intentions.

This Qiu Yan is really a person with courage and brains!

"I really don't care about Xiao Tian's case, but I care about another case. If someone hadn't given us clues in the investigation and handling of the corruption case in the construction system, our investigation would not have gone so smoothly. ”

Jiang Haiguang's eyes were fixed on Qiu Yan again.

Qiu Yan smiled slightly.

Sure enough, Jiang Haiguang put his suspicions on him. In this way, he doesn't have to worry about how to mention Xiao Tian to him, the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection.

"Secretary Jiang, I don't know much about the corruption case. But since you mentioned Xiao Tian's case, can I ask you something?"

Jiang Haiguang also smiled. This young man is really cunning! He knows everything, but he wants to pretend to be stupid.

"You ask, as long as it's a matter that is not forbidden by discipline, I can probably talk to you. ”

"The first-instance verdict of Xiao Tian's case has come down, and as one of the few people who know Xiao Tian and the truth of this matter, I can say with certainty: Xiao Tian is wronged! If we want to clear Xiao Tian's grievances, what can we, those who know the truth, do before the second trial?"

Jiang Haiguang picked up a teacup, sniffed it, and took a sip.

"Since you say you know the truth, why don't you tell the truth?"

Qiu Yan sighed slightly: "Why do you think Xiao Tian himself is silent?"

Jiang Haiguang laughed in his heart: This Qiu Yan!

He didn't answer Qiu Yan's question directly, but stared at Qiu Yan and asked another question: "Then why do you think I came to you tonight?"

Qiu Yan didn't answer, but just stared at Jiang Haiguang.

Jiang Haiguang smiled and gave Qiu Yan an affirmative reply with his eyes.

Qiu Yan's eyes flashed slightly: "What do you mean......?"

Jiang Haiguang smiled slightly, "Why don't we follow the example of the ancients, and write words on this case at the same time with a finger dipping in tea, and see if our answer is the same." ”

Qiu Yan nodded, poured a little tea on the desk, Jiang Haiguang and he dipped their fingers in the tea at the same time, and began to write on the desk with one hand. After writing, the two of them were like Zhuge Kongming and Zhou Gongjin in the Three Kingdoms, and at the same time withdrew their blocking hands, and then looked at each other's writing.

On the case, both of them wrote the word "Ouyang".

The two looked at each other, but neither spoke.

After a long time, Qiu Yan began to make new tea. After brewing, Qiu Yan respectfully used his hands again to hand the tea to the table in front of Jiang Haiguang.

"Secretary Jiang, although I am indeed not the person who provides clues in the corruption case, I have always hoped to find a suitable time and a suitable channel to reflect some situations in Xiao Tian's case. ”

When Jiang Haiguang heard Qiu Yan's words, the look on his face couldn't tell whether he was excited or disappointed.

"Oh, do you think now is the right time and the right channel?"

Qiu Yan looked at Jiang Haiguang again.

From the time Jiang Haiguang entered the tea room, Jiang Haiguang was observing him, and he was also observing Jiang Haiguang. He felt that in this matter, he should be able to trust Jiang Haiguang. At least, for Xiao Tian's sake, it was worth his gamble.

"Secretary Jiang, I believe that you are an official with a conscience. Although I don't have much research on ancient Chinese poetry, I still know the poem you chanted when you ordered tea, which was the poem that Emperor Qianlong chanted after seeing the hardships of tea farmers picking tea. ”

Jiang Haiguang nodded: "My parents are ordinary farmers in the countryside. Therefore, I am also a person who truly sympathizes with farmers. ”

Qiu Yan also nodded slightly, with Jiang Haiguang's background, his career path must be very difficult.

Qiu Yan took a sip of tea, and then told Jiang Haiguang why Xiao Tian had been silent.

After he finished speaking, Jiang Haiguang looked at him with almost incredulous eyes.

Qiu Yan smiled bitterly helplessly.

"You also find it unbelievable, don't you? I also found it hard to accept Xiao Tian's choice at the beginning, but this is indeed the truth of this matter. It's unbelievably simple! But isn't it that simple in the world? Do you know why I know the poem you chanted when you ordered tea? You know, that poem is not a very famous poem. ”

Jiang Haiguang shook his head.

Qiu Yan sighed lightly: "Because Xiao Tian, like you, likes Pin Longjing the most." This poem was the first thing he mentioned to me. At first, I was adamantly opposed to him taking over the project, but he insisted on taking over the project because of his enthusiasm that did not fit the temperament of a businessman. ”

Then, he told Jiang Haiguang why Xiao Tian took over the Huining community in the first place.

"If I had known that things would be like this, and I would have had a fight with him in the first place, I would have prevented him from taking over the project. He's a man......"

Qiu Yan said, his hands clenched tightly into fists, his right hand pounded heavily on the tea table, and then lowered his head sadly.

Jiang Haiguang was shocked, but also let out a long sigh. He gently slapped Qiu Yan's clenched fist with his hand.

He felt that he was beginning to understand the person who sent the email.

If things are really as Qiu Yan said, then this person does not hesitate to stir up the entire Qiaodong officialdom to rescue Xiao Tian, and there is indeed a reason for it. This is obviously not a prank, but the man thinks that it is worth it for him to do it!

Jiang Haiguang comforted Qiu Yan for a few words, and then asked, "You really don't know anything about the person who provided the clue?"

Qiu Yan nodded.

Jiang Haiguang pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Although you are not the person I am looking for, my gains tonight are not small. At least, I know that Xiao Tian is really wronged. Then I have more confidence and confidence in what I am going to do. ”

In his capacity as secretary of the Qiaodong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, he could not fight with the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee whose official position and power were higher than his, and he would indeed not be able to do it without sufficient confidence and courage.

Jiang Haiguang stood up as he spoke. Qiu Yan knew that this meant that today's meeting was coming to an end.

After hesitating for a moment, Qiu Yan still looked at Jiang Haiguang with some meaning, and said, "Secretary Jiang, although I really don't know much about the person you are looking for, if you encounter some tricky problems in this case, and you think that I am still trustworthy, you may as well find me again." I may not be able to help, but the world is unpredictable, and unexpected things may happen. ”

Jiang Haiguang also looked at Qiu Yan meaningfully, "Are you sure that everything you said to me today is the truth?"

Qiu Yan smiled slightly: "At least for now, I'm pretty sure!"

Jiang Haiguang stretched out his index finger and nodded at Qiu Yan with a smile.

With a smile put away, Jiang Haiguang looked at Qiu Yan with deep eyes and asked, "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Qiu Yan smiled and raised the cup in his hand with both hands, "I only use this tea to wish Secretary Jiang all the best for this trip!"

Jiang Haiguang's eyes flashed again: This Qiu Yan is really not simple! He even found out about his secret actions. Dare to say that he doesn't know anything!

Jiang Haiguang even thought, I'm afraid, at the head of his line, there are already dark chess pieces prepared by Qiu Yan waiting for him.

It's just that Jiang Haiguang thinks that he likes these dark chess, and the more the better!

The next day and night after looking for Qiu Yan, Jiang Haiguang took a flight north overnight.

***

Xiao Tian and Zhu Cong sat face to face in the reception room of the detention center.

Zhu Cong handed a copy of the verdict to Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian glanced at it, his face was not calm, nor was it excited.

At the beginning, when he made the decision to carry the black pot, he had already thought that this might be the result. Now, it's just that this result has been turned from an idea in his head into a fact. He wasn't surprised by this, but it couldn't be said that he wasn't uncomfortable at all.

"Dong Xiao, we must appeal!"

Xiao Tian was still silent with his eyebrows slightly drooping, neither objecting nor agreeing.

Zhu Cong couldn't understand what Xiao Tian was thinking, could it be that the matter had reached this point, and if he didn't resist, he would have no chance, but he still had to be silent? Is there anything more important than his own life? Is it worth making such a sacrifice?

Zhu Cong pushed the drafted power of attorney for the appeal to Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian looked at Zhu Cong.

From Zhu Cong's eyes, he saw Zhu Cong's persistence in this matter and his determination to fight the lawsuit to the end.

He understood what Zhu Cong was thinking, but he knew what the odds were in this matter.

"Zhu Cong, it's not easy for you to have today's status and reputation, there is no need to put your reputation into it for my sake. ”

As a lawyer, Zhu Cong no longer has his usual professional calmness at the moment.

"Xiao Dong, I know what I'm doing. What reputation, what status, compared to your life, is not worth a penny!"

Xiao Tian looked at Zhu Cong for a while, didn't say anything, stood up and left. Zhu Cong shouted at him behind him, and he didn't look back.

No one really doesn't care about their own life and death, and of course Xiao Tian is like this.

He did not sign the power of attorney because the death penalty needs to be reviewed by the Supreme People's Court before it can finally take effect. It will be another secret game of various forces, and no one can give the most accurate judgment on how long this time will take.

It has been almost five months since the accident. Xiao Tian knew that Ouyang Qing was really running out of time.

Until her last days came, he wanted to stay as he was. Because, this is the rare thing he can do for Ouyang Qing after he has known Ouyang Qing for more than ten years, and it is the last thing he can do for her.

Therefore, no matter how bad the result is, until the last moment, he will remain silent as promised before, and maintain a state of not being directly opposed to Ouyang Zhenjun.
