It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and Chu Tianqi returned to the office. It was he who called and asked Li Jian to pick it up at the "Dashabu Bar".

He Jiaojiao was driven by the driver and rushed back to He Yang overnight.

After making a cup of tea and sitting on a chair, Chu Tianqi lit a cigarette and smoked it.

Sharp Sword knocked on the door and came in, bringing a few boxes into the office. After putting down his things and caring about Mayor Chu's drinking again, Li Jian left the house.

Chu Tianqi stood up, walked over, unpacked the boxes, and checked them one by one. After seeing all the boxes, except for some local products from He Yang, there was no "entrainment" in them, and Chu Tianqi was completely relieved.

When he returned from the "Da Shabu Bar" just now, Chu Tianqi was worried about this matter, for fear that He Jiaojiao would have any other indication in the box, for fear that there would be cash or consumption cards and other items inside. It's not that he doesn't believe in any outstanding people, but there are many such examples in reality, and the media often report that most corrupt elements go to degeneration, starting from receiving thousands of "small meanings" from friends and subordinates.

Put the souvenir back in the box again, and then Chu Tianqi sat down in his seat, thinking about He Jiaojiao's visit to Chengkang today. He felt that the other party must have planned to bring something to his parents, but he came today and returned overnight, so it was not just to send something, and the thing to tell Zhang Yang should be the main thing.

Zhang Yang is the secretary of You Jianhui, the former deputy mayor of Chengkang, and although He Jiaojiao did not name the rumors of murder and extermination today, You Jianhui has obviously become a suspect in people's hearts. When Zhang Yang fell into the water, it was when You Jianhui was the deputy mayor of Chengkang, and coincidentally, more than half a month after Zhang Yang's death, You Jianhui was transferred. He Jiaojiao told herself this, just because You Jianhui was the former deputy mayor in charge of urban construction and land, she was mentally prepared for herself, and she also asked herself to take this factor into account when dealing with legacy problems.

Regarding Zhang Yang's death, Chu Tianqi had heard some about it before, but he just heard about it and didn't take it seriously, anyway, the police had already come to a conclusion, and Zhang Yang and his people had no intersection with him. When he listened to He Jiaojiao talk about the suicide note today, he realized that if the matter came true, if You Jianhui was involved, then he was likely to have some contact with this matter, at least the police would come to investigate the items or documents related to it. It seems that when you come into contact with these things, you should also be more careful to prevent you from inadvertently getting involved. This should be He Jiaojiao's main purpose in telling himself about this, he is caring about himself, and Chu Tianqi couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart again.

When listening to He Jiaojiao talk about this matter, some of the doubts in Chu Tianqi's heart seemed to have answers, and the abnormal performance of Wang Yongxin and Chang Sheng was also annotated.

When he was in Wang Yongxin's office this morning, Chu Tianqi felt strange and felt that Wang Yongxin was using the matter of citizens' petitions as a pretext, and his essence was to allocate funds for those projects. At that time, he only thought that the other party might have responded because he knew that Zhang Yan had come to the door and thought that he was actively in contact with Peng Yan. But the other party couldn't put it down, so he deliberately provoked himself to say that the funds were stuck. From the current point of view, Wang Yongxin is sure that under the guise of "petitioning", but the reason is not because Zhang Yan came to the door, but it is very likely that he knew about the "suicide note", because this time is too coincidental.

But Chu Tianqi couldn't help but wonder what Zhang Yang's death had to do with Wang Yongxin. So he specifically asked He Jiaojiao about Zhang Yang's work history and Zhang Yang's family situation. According to He Jiaojiao's narration, combined with Wang Yongxin's work trajectory, Wang Yongxin and Zhang Yang have no work contact, and there should be no contact with Wang Yongxin's family. But why did Wang Yongxin do this?

After thinking about it, Chu Tianqi felt that there might be the following reasons: First, You Jianhui was the former deputy mayor of Chengkang, and he took over the content of You Jianhui's responsibility; second, Wang Yongxin was the current mayor of Chengkang and the former mayor of He Yang, and both places had some kind of connection with Zhang Yang. He is now dealing with the mess of urban construction, these messes are all left by You Jianhui, and Wang Yongxin is using his support for himself to show that he has drawn a clear line with You Jianhui and Zhang Yang. Since Wang Yongxin is for this purpose, then Wang Yongxin's abnormal performance today does not feel strange.

Similarly, because he knew about Zhang Yang's suicide note, Chang Sheng's performance today also has a note.

When he was about to get off work this afternoon, Chang Sheng, the legal counsel of the Chengkang Municipal Government, came to Chu Tianqi's office specially with a good attitude. not only explained the so-called "illness" to Chu Tianqi, but also apologized, not only for not performing his duties for a long time, but also for his previous disrespectful attitude towards Mayor Chu. Chang Sheng has been "missing" for more than a month, and now he is uninvited, which is obviously abnormal, at that time Chu Tianqi thought that Chang Sheng was also because of Chang Yan's door-to-door incident, and now it seems that the "suicide note" is the main factor that prompted him to come to the door.

When Chang Sheng came to the door, Chu Tianqi didn't know about the "suicide note", but he knew that "if something goes wrong, it will be a demon". When he didn't find out the true state of the matter, Chu Tianqi would not easily express his position, so at that time, he was noncommittal in the face of Chang Sheng's "repentance", but just replied coldly, "I have something, please go back." But Chang Sheng still didn't give up, he made a strong statement, and made a guarantee, clearly hoping that Mayor Chu would be able to forgive. Because He Jiaojiao was still waiting for him in the restaurant, Chu Tianqi was not in the mood to listen to Chang Sheng's nagging, so he was very impolite at that time and issued a "customer eviction order": You please go back, I want to go out.

Judging from the performance of Wang and Chang, Zhang Yang's death once again touched people's nerves, and some people may have been more sensitive than Wang Yongxin, but they didn't show it, they just didn't see it.

Thinking of Zhang Yang's death, thinking of people's rumors, and thinking of the abnormal behavior of some people, Chu Tianqi naturally associated Zhang Yang's death with some things. In the past, You Jianhui was in charge of urban construction and land, and he also served as the director of the bureau for a long time, and Zhang Yang was You Jianhui's secretary at that time. It was at that stage that the Feitian and Sihai unfinished projects, as well as the transfer of land plots from Ermao Factory and the radio station, took place during that period, and it was during that period that those "traitorous treaties" also took place, so what role did You Jianhui and Zhang Yang play in this? Although there had been doubts in this regard before, Chu Tianqi now felt that this kind of suspicion was even more serious, and the reasons for his suspicions were even more sufficient.

If Zhang Yang really committed suicide, then what is bound to be said in it, and I don't know what impact it will have on dealing with Pengyan's affairs?

After thinking about it for a long time, he also thought of a variety of possibilities, but Chu Tianqi still couldn't confirm it, because these conclusions were all based on assumptions.

At nearly zero o'clock, Chu Tianqi received a call from He Jiaojiao, and she had arrived home safely. He yawned, got up and went into the back room, and went to bed.

I opened two bottles of liquor for dinner today, although there was some left and I didn't finish it, but Chu Tianqi also drank nearly a catty, and He Jiaojiao also drank six or seven taels. Originally, Chu Tianqi had rested very late in the past two nights, and after drinking so much wine, he was a little sleepy, but he had to think about some things, especially waiting for He Jiaojiao's reply of "arriving home safely", so he insisted on waiting.

……

The next day, Chu Tianqi got up late, and after washing, it was nearly eight o'clock. He didn't go to breakfast at all, but sat down in a chair and started working.

At half-past eight, Li Ziteng came.

After confirming that there was no third person in the room, Li Ziteng walked up to the desk and lowered his voice: "Mayor, there seems to be no such thing as citizens petitioning. ”

Chu Tianqi said "oh": "You tell me specifically." ”

Li Ziteng said: "On Friday, when you told me about the petition, I went directly to the Letters and Visits Office and checked their "Interview Record" on the pretext of summarizing the petitions. There was no record of the day's petition on the "record", so I asked Director Xiao of the Office of the Letters and Visits Bureau, and my reason was that 'my classmates called me to ask me'.

Director Xiao's head shook like a wave drum and firmly denied that there was a petition that day. He said, 'As long as there are petitioners, as long as I am in the unit, I will be designated as the first person in the unit to receive petitioners.' He said that if someone petitioned, they would usually go to the Letters and Visits Bureau, and even if the petitioner went directly to the building to sit in front of the building, and the security personnel specified that they would go to the Letters and Visits Bureau, he would definitely know about it. He said that even if five or six people came, the Letters and Visits Bureau would have to show up, and if hundreds of people came to petition, there would be no reason why he did not know. For this reason, he also made a special inquiry with other people in the bureau, and everyone said that there was absolutely no petition that day.

I'm worried that if someone goes straight into the building and goes to the mayor, it's very unlikely, but it's not impossible. To be on the safe side, I decided to check the monitoring, but the two people I knew well in the monitoring room didn't go to work and went to other places. Last night, when they were at work, I found an excuse to check the surveillance footage on Friday and the days before, and indeed found no petitioners inside or outside the building. ”

"That's right. After thinking about it, Chu Tianqi asked again, "Does Yang Yongliang have any news about this?"

"Originally, I wanted to ask him, but that guy was a thief, and I was worried that he would smell something, so I didn't dare to ask him. Speaking of this, Li Ziteng changed the topic, "Mayor, is the mayor mistaken?"

Chu Tianqi smiled: "Maybe, maybe the mayor is using this to remind you to pay attention to the petition work." Now that it turns out that there is no such thing, I am relieved to save the trouble of the New Year. At that time, when Li Ziteng was asked to inquire, Chu Tianqi only said that the mayor had talked about "100 people petitioning", but he didn't say anything else, so his answer now is still very general.

"Mayor, then I'm leaving. After saying this, and getting permission, Li Ziteng walked out of the house.

Seeing the door closed, Chu Tianqi leaned back and leaned back on the back of his chair. He didn't expect that Wang Yongxin's statement that 100 people petitioned was "made out of nothing", just to make the appropriation seem natural. It seems that Zhang Yang's death is bound to have some impact on Chengkang's officialdom.
