At six o'clock in the evening, Chu Tianqi appeared in Chengkang's "Da Shabu Bar", which is a newly opened mutton restaurant, it is said that the beef and mutton are from the northern prairie, and the ingredients and production process are also the most authentic.

But Chu Tianqi understands that the same person uses the same batch of ingredients to make food in different regions, and the taste and texture are different, which is what people often call "water and soil". Of course, the "water and soil" mentioned here does not simply refer to "water" and "soil", but refers to the environment and climate in general. However, when it comes to the taste of "mutton shabu", then the word "water" is absolutely unavoidable, and it is a very important factor.

Chu Tianqi took a taxi today, neither with a driver nor by himself.

Because he was wearing a down jacket, a hat, and a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, when Chu Tianqi walked into the hall of the "Da Shabu Bar", the service staff did not recognize the youngest member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee in Chengkang City.

The waitress girl greeted her and asked politely, "Sir, do you have a reservation?"

"The third floor of the Yayi Pavilion. Chu Tianqi said the destination.

"Please follow me. The waiter said, making a "please" gesture.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Chu Tianqi went to the outside of the "Yayi Pavilion" on the third floor.

The waiter gently pushed the door open and gestured.

Seeing the girl in the house, Chu Tianqi's waiter said "thank you", then walked into the meal bag and closed the door.

The girl in the room "giggled" and said mischievously, "Which famous star is this?"

Knowing that the other party was making fun of his outfit, Chu Tianqi smiled "hehe", hurriedly took off his sunglasses, took off his hat, hung his heavy clothes on the hanger, and sat opposite the girl. He laughed at himself: "No way, Chengkang's place is too small, if you don't arm it like this, you will always run into acquaintances, and everyone will be awkward." I saw the two chiefs just now, but they didn't recognize me. ”

"Sure enough, it's a famous star, and it's the focus everywhere. It's just that this outfit is not grand enough, and it looks like it came from the set. The girl pointed to the down jacket on the hanger, "It's like a deputy township chief who has just arrived from the countryside." ”

"Excellent, your sharp teeth and kung fu will be displayed at any time. Speaking of this, Chu Tianqi changed the topic, "You came to Chengkang from He Yang, I, the host, should have arrived first, but I was very embarrassed to let you wait for me." ”

The girl is none other than Chu Tianqi's little junior sister, He Jiaojiao of He Yang Pharmaceutical. He Jiaojiao did not buy the other party's politeness, but continued to ridicule: "The official is getting bigger and bigger, and the score is getting bigger and bigger, and this official tone is more neat." ”

"Tuk tuk", there was a knock on the door, and the waiter came in with a tray. Putting down the dipping sauce, side dishes and liquor in the tray, lighting the carbon of the charcoal hot pot, the waiter went out. Before going out, the waiter deliberately looked at the two people in the house, and obviously recognized one of the men in the highest power level in Chengkang City.

"You came from afar, and I should have invited you to go to the big restaurant, but you, a big entrepreneur, are considerate of the poor brother, and I am really grateful that you chose such a small shop. Chu Tianqi also squeezed the other party with words, and reached out to take the liquor on the table.

"Mr. Mayor, wrong. In the eyes of you politicians, this is a small shop. But I, a small businessman, think that consumption here is very luxurious. He Jiaojiao "hehe" smiled, and the bickering was even better, "Of course, I finally ate a meat meal, so I will do it for you, and I ordered a lot of beef and mutton to eat, please don't blame me for my recklessness." ”

I wanted to adjust the other party, but I didn't expect the other party to suffer at all, so I just took the words back. Chu Tianqi simply stopped being bored, but retracted his teasing tone, and asked: "Excellent, you are so busy with work, what kind of business trip is coming to Chengkang this time, do you need my help?"

At this moment, the door of the house was pushed open again, and the waiter brought vegetables, beef and mutton.

After the waiter went out, He Jiaojiao said mysteriously: "I came this time, but there is a big event, I am here to congratulate Mayor Chu on the New Year, and by the way, I will also give some gifts." ”

"It's not in shape. Chu Tianqi poured wine for the two, "If you don't say it, I won't ask." ”

"It's really a gift for you, but it's all shabby, I can't take it out, and I put it in the trunk of my car. Speaking of this, He Jiaojiao suppressed his smile, "For the New Year, there are nothing rare, so I will bring some souvenirs to my uncle and aunt." ”

Although the two have also cooperated, they are brothers and sisters after all, and the younger sister can't refuse to send local products, otherwise it will be too unkind. So, Chu Tianqi hurriedly said, "Then I thank you for my parents." As he spoke, he raised his wine glass, "Welcome to Chengkang." ”

"Thank you, Mayor Chu, for your deigent meeting. He Jiaojiao handed the wine glass forward and touched it with the other party.

"You. Chu Tianqi pointed at the other party and toasted the wine.

He Jiaojiao first "giggled" and laughed for a while, and then drank the cup as well.

In this way, the two talked and laughed, drinking white wine while soaking in hot pot, and unconsciously more than an hour passed. During this period, as long as he spoke, He Jiaojiao always had the upper hand and squeezed Chu Tianqi speechlessly.

Putting down the wine glass again, He Jiaojiao sighed: "Hey." ”

"What's wrong with you?" Chu Tianqi asked.

"No, I'm sighing for you. How good it was to be with my sister-in-law back then, seeing that it was time to eat candy, why did they go their separate ways all of a sudden and have no contact?" He Jiaojiao looked at each other, "I don't want to inquire about your privacy, but I just think it's a pity, why can't two such good people be together?"

Knowing that the other party was talking about his relationship with Ning Junqi, Chu Tianqi couldn't help but feel a little sad, but he couldn't answer the other party, so he had to take a long breath and drink a glass of stuffy wine alone.

Seeing that the other party was a little sad, He Jiaojiao also poured a glass of wine: "Senior brother, I said the wrong thing, punish myself." As he spoke, he drank his glass of wine.

"It's nothing, the world is unpredictable. Chu Tianqi sighed.

He Jiaojiao didn't want to say anything, picked up a few slices of mutton and put them in the pot.

The room fell silent for a moment, and only the sound of boiling soup could be heard from the pot

After a while, He Jiaojiao's face suddenly changed, he looked left and right, and lowered his voice: "Senior brother, I came today to tell you one more thing." ”

Seeing that the other party's expression was so serious, Chu Tianqi realized the importance of the matter, so he leaned forward and lowered his voice: "You say." ”

He Jiaojiao said slowly: "Zhang Yang doesn't seem to have fallen into the water. ”

"Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang......" Chu Tianqi felt that this name was very familiar, and after saying a few sentences, he suddenly remembered that Zhang Yang was the secretary of his former deputy mayor You Jianhui, and Zhang Yan mentioned this name last week. He asked, "What's the matter?"

He Jiaojiao said: "This year, no, in June last year, someone found a body under the Chengkang Bridge in the morning, and the body was soaked in the river water, so he immediately called the police. When the police arrived, they took pictures of the body and collected evidence at the scene, while the identity of the deceased was already known. Judging from the traces at the scene, the deceased looks like he fell into the water. Then the police went to Zhang Yang's office to collect evidence, and in Zhang Yang's diary, they found that Zhang Yang and his wife had a bad relationship, and there was a misanthropy between the lines. Later, the police took some personal and physical evidence, and also dissected Zhang Yang, and came to the conclusion: family discord, pessimistic and misanthropic, depressed tendency, and drowned.

There will always be all sorts of talk about the mysterious deaths of people in politics. But after all, Zhang Yang is only the deputy section chief of the government office, and his position is low, and the police have already given a clear conclusion, and Zhang Yang's family has also approved this conclusion. After a few days of talking, people lost interest, and only occasionally people talked about 'how to say that you die when you are young'. It's just that in this matter, Zhang Yang's wife has taken on the reputation of an 'indirect murderer', and her mood has been bad, and her nerves have some problems.

Because Zhang Yang had died, his wife had to pay a large amount of medical expenses for treatment, so in October, Zhang Yang and his wife's house were sold to others. After the house was sold, the new owner remained vacant and only found a renovation team to redecorate it after New Year's Day. The old renovation had to be demolished before the new renovation, and yesterday morning, when the wall skirt was removed, a piece of paper fell out of the plywood and the wall, with reddish-brown lettering on it. A few renovation workers rarely looked at it, only to find out that it was something similar to a suicide note. The foreman quickly learned about the incident and immediately called the police, who arrived at the scene and took the paper.

According to internal sources, this suicide note was written by Zhang Yang to his wife, and the signature on the back seems to be written by Zhang Yang with his own blood. In this suicide note, Zhang Yang expressed repentance to his wife, saying that he had become a thousand years of hatred when he made a mistake. It seems that he didn't say what 'eternal hatred' is, but judging from the words on the back of the suicide note, it should be that he had a woman outside behind his wife's back, and he also accepted other people's ill-gotten gains. At the end of his suicide note, he wrote about his worries, worried that someone would kill him, worried about the life of his wife and children after his death, and he begged his wife to take care of his parents.

It is unknown whether this piece of paper is a suicide note, but people have already spread it - Zhang Yang died of his homicide, and he also analyzed a number of people who may have killed him. Among them, the woman he did outside, and the person who gave him money, are the objects of suspicion. In addition, more people believe that Zhang Yang was killed and killed, and the murderer wanted to achieve the goal of dying without proof. ”

Chu Tianqi was a little surprised, surprised by the reversal of the cause of Zhang Yang's death, and surprised by the direction of people's public opinion. Judging by the rumors, there is one person who seems to be a serious suspect. At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder, so he asked, "Why haven't I heard of it at all?"

"Zhang Yang's husband and wife's house is in He Yang, which is Zhang Yang's hometown, and his wife has always worked in He Yang. He Jiaojiao gave an explanation, "Maybe the news hasn't come yet, and I don't know if the news is true, but people believe that Zhang Yang's death is not simple." ”

Chu Tianqi let out an "oh": "There is no wind and no waves!"
