On the last day of April, starting from the afternoon, the people in the unit came to say goodbye to Chu Tianqi and prepared to take a long holiday of May 17. Many of them plan to leave that evening, either to reunite with their loved ones in their hometowns or to travel abroad. Of course, there are a few people who find an excuse to leave in the afternoon. For those who want to leave in advance, Chu Tianqi is not serious, anyway, these people have no tasks, as long as they say hello.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Tianqi packed all the things he brought home into the trolley suitcase. In fact, he has been thinking about the holiday for several days, and is ready to take this opportunity to go home to see, and has already bought tomorrow's train tickets in advance.

Looking at the time, Chu Tianqi turned off the power of the computer, stood up and moved, and was ready to go out.

Chu Tianqi was going to attend the feast held for him by his subordinates. Today's banquet was organized by Gao Qiang, and several other people responded positively, and it was called "a smooth journey banquet".

When Gao Qiang came to the office yesterday to invite him in advance, Chu Tianqi was reluctant to publicize it and wanted to resign. As a result, Gao Qiang took Chu Tianqi to ask Gao Feng and Qiu Zhikang to talk about the matter, saying that the leader only attaches importance to new subordinates, but ignores his long-time student, and is biased.

When only the master and apprentice were present, Chu Tianqi did not look like a leader, and Gao Qiang only regarded Chu Tianqi as a teacher. Since the recalcitrant "picked the gift", Chu Tianqi could only laugh "haha", and agreed to attend the "smooth journey banquet" according to the other party's wishes.

Yesterday he was ridiculed by Gao for a long time, and today Zhou Tong still doesn't know how to squeeze himself? Chu Tianqi couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

"Tuk Tuk", a knock on the door sounded, interrupting Chu Tianqi's thoughts.

Immediately after, the voice of the sharp sword came: "Director, it's time." ”

After saying "yes", Chu Tianqi walked out of the house, closed the door, and went downstairs with Li Jian.

The director's car has been parked in front of the building, open the door for the director, and after the director gets in the car, Li Jian quickly ran to the front and sat in the driver's seat. With fuel under his feet, the off-road vehicle drove out of the compound of the Public Security Bureau and headed for its destination.

Not long after, when I arrived at the dining hotel, this was a newly opened one, and Chu Tianqi had not been here yet. Entering the private room, everyone in the room stood up and welcomed the director to take a seat.

Chu Tianqi looked at it, and they were all his own hardcores: Gao Qiang, Gao Feng, Qiu Zhikang, and Zhou Tong.

As soon as he sat down, Zhou Tong complained: "Chief Director, you only remember Captain Qiu and Director Gao, why did you forget me and Gao Qiang? We are not only your subordinates, but also your classmates and students, so we shouldn't forget us in public or private, right? I didn't expect that the director is actually a master who likes the new and hates the old. ”

It seems that it was really a mistake that day, so it is better to call the two of them, or simply invite no one, and save them from running. Knowing that he was "at a loss", Chu Tianqi had to accompany him with a smiling face: "Section Chief Zhou, I ......"

Zhou Tong immediately interrupted the other party: "Don't call the position, then no one is as big as you, you should use your power to suppress people again." Since you didn't do it properly, then you apologize with wine today, how about it? Gao Qiang booked a suite today, this specification is high enough, right?"

"Good. Chu Tianqi agreed very happily. He knew that on this occasion, he couldn't stand up to it at all.

Without thinking about it, Zhou Tong asked again: "You promised so happily, isn't there something boring, right? I can tell you, if you want to drink, drink it honestly, don't use the same trick against Qu and Zhang, the two deputy bureaus." ”

"It's hard to be a good person, I just do everything I do. Chu Tianqi understands that fighting with a woman is self-detrimental, not to mention that she is still her senior sister.

Gao Qiang "tsk" and said: "Senior sister is still better than students, I don't dare to say this to my teacher." Even if he said it, he wouldn't listen. ”

"Gao Qiang, what are you talking nonsense?" was snatched by Gao Qiang, and Zhou Tong's face turned red.

"Is it over?" Chu Tianqi patted Gao Qiang's arm, "I said that I was invited to dinner, but it turned out to be a criticism first." ”

Gao Qiang smiled "hehe" and shouted at the door: "Waiter, serve the food." ”

The dishes were served one by one, and the dinner began.

At the beginning of the dinner, Zhou Tong and Gao Qiang talked about being treated slowly, and found various reasons to punish Chu Tianqi. Gao Feng and Qiu Zhikang were different, they didn't dare to ridicule Chu Tianqi, but when the two of them squeezed Chu Tianqi, they followed and laughed cheaply, and then toasted to the director to express their gratitude.

Whether it is "respect" or "punishment", Chu Tianqi will not refuse to come. Everyone is their own people, and the reason why they put forward so many reasons is to let themselves drink well and wish themselves a smooth journey tomorrow. How can you please the good intentions of others?

The toaster is sincere, the toasted is honest, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet is warm and happy.

……

The banquet had been going on for more than three hours, and it was past nine o'clock before everyone drank "Tongtianle" and prepared to leave the room. They also had to end, because Gao Qiang and Lijian had to go home for the 11 p.m. train. And Zhou Tong and Gao Feng are also trains at half past eleven and fifty in the evening, respectively, and they have to go out with their families for a few days.

"Ding Woo", the ringtone rang, it was Chu Tianqi's mobile phone.

Glancing at the caller number, Chu Tianqi hesitated a little and pressed the answer button: "Hello, who is it?"

A man's voice came from the mobile phone: "Are you Director Chu? I'm He Xifa." ”

He Xifa: What is he looking for me? With doubts, Chu Tianqi pushed open the door of the suite and walked in. Then he closed the door and said, "I'm Chu Tianqi, how are you recovering now?"

"Are you alone, is it convenient to speak?" He Xifa asked.

Chu Tianqi said: "It's just me, it's convenient." ”

"I heard that Director Gao's house was burned, is there such a thing?" He Xifa continued to ask.

Chu Tianqi thought to himself: Why is this person so verbose, but he still patiently replied: "Yes, the old house of the old Gao family was burned. ”

There was silence on the phone for a while, and then He Xifa's voice came: "Director Chu, you are so good to me, but there are some things I have been hiding from you." I'm sorry, I beg your pardon, I'm all confessing. ”

Chu Tianqi let out an "oh" sound: "Haven't you been amnesia?"

"I ...... I've always pretended, I don't dare to say it, I'm afraid they will retaliate against me. He Xifa's voice was hesitant.

"How dare you say it now?" Chu Tianqi asked rhetorically.

"If I don't talk about it now, I'm afraid I won't have a chance. He Xifa said, "Lao Gao's people are all dead, and those people still don't let go of his house, and those guys can do anything." I'm hiding in a place where birds don't poop, and I'm scared every day, and my heart jumps when I see a living person. I heard Erbao say that there are often suspicious people around his community, and he suspects that those people are looking for me, that is, to be detrimental to our whole family, maybe one day I will die. In the past, I was afraid that I would be retaliated against by them if I spoke out, but I didn't say those things, and they still came to me, maybe they would kill people and kill people? Rather than die in vain, it is better to cooperate with the police and let the police arrest these villains as soon as possible, so that our whole family can have a way to live. ”

Hearing this, Chu Tianqi couldn't help but sigh: People, that's it, if you don't get to the neck of the knife holder, you always want to be lucky. Many people don't tell the truth to the police, but prefer to keep it a secret for the bad guys.

After sighing, Chu Tianqi said: "Lao He, it's right for you to think so now, only the police can help you get rid of the scourge, it is not enough to just hide, you must face what you should face." ”

On the phone, He Xifa repeatedly said "yes": "Yes, yes, that's the reason." After a pause, he added, "I used to say that the Jucai Company wanted to borrow the official seal of the village, but I didn't lend it, and I lied at the time that I didn't know." In fact, I know that they want to get the village to guarantee and take out loans in the bank for them. At that time, I felt that the matter was serious, and the consequences were serious, so I put it off again and again. Dragged around, they were already impatient, but they hadn't torn the last of their faces yet.

I didn't know about Zhao Liu's assassination of you at first, but it wasn't until Zhao Liu failed to borrow money from me that I realized that it must be someone from the Wealth Gathering Company who was behind the trouble. The purpose of accumulating wealth is to achieve the purpose of revenge by letting Zhao Liu kill people, and also to use a murderer's brother-in-law to trap me firmly to death, forcing me to lend them the official seal, and continue to be at their mercy. At that time, I was scared, so I pretended to be sick and ran away with my sister-in-law's whole family, otherwise her family would definitely suffer. However, Zhao Liu probably didn't want to do this, all he thought was 'taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others'. ”

He Xi found that the statement was basically consistent with Xizi's statement that day, and it seemed that Zhao Liu really didn't know who hired him at that time. Chu Tianqi wondered: If it's just these contents, is He Xifa talking so mysterious?

He Xifa's voice continued: "There is one more thing, I suspect that they are digging tunnels in the old village of the mountain village. There were tunnels in the village, but they restored them and made them more hidden. ”

"Why are you suspicious?" Chu Tianqi asked, "What are they going to do with these tunnels?"

"If it's a serious business, why don't you do it openly, but you have to put it underground? It's not good to go back to people, and if you don't do good things to people, it's definitely an unsightly deed. He Xifa's voice was a little lower, "The reason why I have doubts is because one night last year, when I went to look for Wu Xinyi, the door of Wu Xinyi's house was open, but the person was not in the house. I saw a picture on his desk with many names on it.

I was about to take a closer look, and someone from the wealth company also came to find Wu Xinyi, so I had to slip away quickly. When he walked to the door of Zhang Dazhu's old house, he heard someone talking inside. I secretly looked at the wall and saw that there was a bright light in the room, and I was afraid that they would find out, so I hurriedly squatted down and hid it. After a while, I couldn't help but be curious, and I picked up the wall to look again, but the people were gone, and the light was gone.

I wondered at the time: Why are there no people, could it be that the heavens and the earth are not possible? Yes, when you enter the ground, Zhang Dazhu's house has a tunnel entrance. At the same time, I also figured out that the map on Wu Xinyi's desk must be the tunnel layout map of the village. No wonder they didn't demolish these houses for several years after they acquired them, it must have been to use the tunnels as a cover. ”

Chu Tianqi became interested: "Authentic? ”

"Okay. He Xifa said on the other end of the phone, "These tunnels have a history of more than 60 years, and they were used in the village to deal with the little devil......s back then."

While listening to He Xifa's speech, Chu Tianqi was thinking about the next thing.
