The explosion shocked the whole city of Qinghe and also shocked Tan Pingshan. [Ran^Text^Library] []

After an afternoon of Standing Committee meetings, Tan Pingshan really felt a little tired when he returned to the office, and sat on the sofa and wanted to lie down for a while before going home, but he couldn't calm down with excitement in his heart.

Although it is only a part of the city's overall work, Tan Pingshan is still pleased that the construction of Ping'an Qinghe can be implemented from the slogan and form an overall idea of the city for a period of time in the future. After all, there are measures, plans, and more importantly, funds, which is not easy, and it is also the most comfortable thing for him in more than a year.

But this happy and excited mood was soon broken by the ringing of the phone, which was called by Wang Gang, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, who eagerly informed him that a vicious explosion had occurred in the city's teaching staff community, and there were casualties. Tan Pingshan quickly stood up from the sofa and shouted the name of the driver, Xiao Li, as he walked out.

As soon as I got out of the office, I saw Secretary Liu coming in a hurry, and asked from a long distance: "What's the matter?" It seems that he has just gotten the news, Tan Pingshan hurriedly greeted him, and said, "I also just received a report, and the specific situation is not clear, so I will rush over." ”

"I'll wait in the office, and I'll be informed of the details immediately." Secretary Liu looked at Tan Pingshan who walked in front of him, "You go quickly!" ”

Tan Pingshan nodded, hurriedly walked past Secretary Liu without speaking, walked downstairs quickly, got into the car, and hurriedly took out the phone to dial Wang Gang's number.

"I'm new to the scene, and that's pretty much it." Wang Gang said eagerly, his voice was a little surprised, and a little panicked, "A car exploded in Unit 1 of Building 2 of the Teaching Community, the female driver died on the spot, and four people were injured near the scene, one of whom was seriously injured and has been sent to the hospital for rescue." The scene has been brought under control and the cause of the accident is being investigated. ”

Hanging up the phone, Tan Pingshan immediately dialed the phone number of Secretary Liu's office and simply repeated what Wang just said, but the tone was steady and quiet.

The car soon arrived at the teaching staff community, and from a long distance, I saw that there were many onlookers watching and discussing, several police cars surrounded the vicinity of Building No. 2, and a cordon was also set up at the entrance of Building No. 2, and there were more than a dozen policemen in it nervously dealing with the scene.

Tan Pingshan nodded slightly to Wang Gang, the oncoming director of the public security bureau, walked outside the cordon and stopped, looked at the busy policemen inside, turned his head and asked Wang Gang, who was standing beside him: "What is the specific situation?" What is the nature of the preliminary analysis? ”

"There was no warning beforehand, and the vehicles that were bombed were not the ones that were often stopped in this neighborhood. As far as we know, the female driver who died was a resident of the third floor of a unit here, but the neighborhood committee reported that she had rarely been seen living here in recent years, and she only came back to live two days ago, and she was driving such a luxurious and high-end car, which was very attention-grabbing. Wang Gang's tone was much calmer, "According to eyewitnesses, after the female driver parked the car at the time of the accident, she walked to the trunk to pick up something, and an explosion occurred the moment she opened the trunk, it is estimated that the explosive device was placed in the trunk in advance, and it was connected to the trunk switch, as long as the trunk was opened, it would explode." Whether the explosion was a vendetta or something else is difficult to conclude at this time, and can only be judged after the on-site investigation and the evidence. ”

"That means it will explode as soon as you open the trunk, which means that it can explode no matter where it is or at any time, does that mean?" Tan Pingshan felt a chill in his back, if such an explosion occurred in a shopping mall, downtown and other densely populated places, the consequences would be unimaginable. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but get scared, turned my head and looked around at the surrounding scene, secretly glad that it was just a small community, and there were only a few people around, and then a question was also rising, so I asked puzzledly: "Then why doesn't it explode when you put something inside, and the explosive device is placed in the trunk, isn't it easy to be found?" After all, a device that can cause such a violent explosion can't be small, right? ”

"I don't understand this question, I was very confused just now, and then I asked the technical staff in the bureau, and I basically understood", Wang Gang said honestly: "This is a very scientific detonation device today, it is composed of a set of microelectronic start switches, there is only one touch button in the trunk, very small and unnoticeable, the explosive device can be hidden in the trunk where it is not noticeable, or simply adsorbed on the chassis of the vehicle", said and said in detail: "Speaking of high technology, in fact, the principle is also simple, Just like the light switch in our house, pull it on and turn it off again. When the device is placed, opening the trunk at any time is equivalent to activating the switch, and when it is turned on again, it will explode naturally. ”

Tan Pingshan didn't ask anything more, watched silently for a while, and then rushed to the city hospital with Wang Gang, and after condolences to the injured, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, and then hurried back to the compound of the municipal party committee, and in the office of Liu Lizhi, secretary of the municipal party committee, not only the secretary of the municipal party committee, but also the mayor Tang Li, several deputy secretaries and standing committee members rushed over.

After listening to the report of Wang Gang, director of the Public Security Bureau, Secretary Liu Lizhi said succinctly: "This is the most serious evil cause since the establishment of our Qinghe City, the impact is very bad, the masses have a lot of discussions, and there is everything to say, we must seize the time, deploy the most effective cadres and police, and launch an investigation against time, and we must intervene as soon as possible to solve the case in the shortest time." As he spoke, he turned to Tan Pingshan and said: "You are mainly responsible for this matter, not only to solve the case as soon as possible, but also to investigate the cause of the incident as soon as possible, to see whether it is an isolated case or a series of cases, you must pay attention to the signs, and such an incident must not happen again." ”

Next, a leading group for solving cases was set up with Tan Pingshan as the leader, with the director and political commissar of the public security bureau as the deputy leader, and the responsible persons of various police departments and the director of the urban public security bureau as members. This is also the highest standard and most fully equipped working group established by Qinghe City for so many years to investigate and handle a case.

Because it is the most vicious case since the founding of Qinghe City, all kinds of discussions have been overwhelming for a while, some talk about vendetta, some talk about love killing, and even more talk about terrorist attacks. Especially after learning some of the details, the Porsche Cayenne worth more than one million was bombed, and the person killed was the title of a famous rich beauty, a strong woman, and a wealthy female entrepreneur in Qinghe City, which caused heated discussions in the market, as well as speculation and discussion behind it.

For this reason, Tan Pingshan also visited Qian Xiangzhong in the hospital once. Although Tan Pingshan was bored with any rumors, he felt that he should still go to see Qian Xiangzhong after Yao Hong's death. In fact, the rumors of Qian Xiangzhong and Yao Hong are no secret in Qinghe officialdom, especially after Qian Xiangzhong's wife went to the United States to study with their children, especially in the past two years, it is already an open secret. In order to eliminate the adverse effects, the municipal party committee also held a solemn meeting to discuss this matter, after all, a mayor in charge of the city's work, such a living situation, the impact is really bad, and it is seriously suggested that Qian Xiangzhong either take the initiative to sever the relationship with Yao Hong, or divorce and marry, for the relationship between husband and wife in name only, there is really no need to be nostalgic.

In fact, this seemingly absurd suggestion also shows the helplessness and compromise of discipline on the status quo, with the development of society and the emancipation of ideas, the relationship between men and women and the problem of style are no longer very sensational serious problems, or not so important issues. The views of the discipline department and the general public are gradually approaching, disgusted with the relationship between men and women who have been chaotic and abandoned, and who are in the twilight of the Qin Dynasty, the insatiable group of wives and concubines, the infinite play with women, the first transaction, and irresponsible possession and destruction, for long-term ambiguous relationships, as long as they do not affect the stability of the family, they are basically acquiesced and tolerant, at least not particularly disgusted or opposed.

Qian Xiangzhong's situation is basically similar, although it is immoral, Yao Hong has never married, and has been consistent for more than ten years, and has received corresponding sympathy and understanding to a certain extent, and even hopes that they can finally come together.

Tan Pingshan is very disgusted with this kind of compromise and connivance point of view, the rules can not be disobeyed, let alone indulged and moral. No excuse can change the principle of being a human being, that is, perseverance and self-discipline. This was his credo, even though he didn't think he could quite do it. Therefore, just now Secretary Liu of the Municipal Party Committee wanted him to visit Qian Xiangzhong on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, but he was very conflicted, but he could only accept it helplessly. Although it is only a casual explanation, it represents an arrangement for the work assigned by the organization, and implementation is necessary. In addition, I also want to see the current Qian Xiangzhong, compare the changes, and express a sympathy and concern.

It is calculated that Tan Pingshan and Qian Xiangzhong have also had a friendship for more than ten years, although they have been working in different departments for a long time, and there are not many places where they intersect, and they have only interacted more in the past few years after the government team. Tan Pingshan is very unaccustomed to Qian Xiangzhong's domineering and gangsterism in his work, and sometimes it is strange how Qian Xiangzhong, who was born as a teacher, does not have the reserve and subtlety that a literati should have, and hates his greed for materials and emotional indulgence. Although I admire his courage and responsibility in his work, I also think that the more such courage and monopoly personality work, the greater the harm, so there are always deep rifts and contradictions between the two of them, irreconcilable, and conflicts cannot be avoided. Especially since Tan Pingshan became deputy mayor and was in charge of urban construction, transportation, environment and infrastructure construction, he and Mayor Qian Xiangzhong had many disagreements, and even quarrels, and openly resisted Qian Xiangzhong's meddling in the arrangement of urban construction projects and the use and allocation of construction funds, and reported to the municipal party committee and higher-level departments that for a period of time, the relationship was rigid to the extent that it was difficult to meet. So much so that Qian Xiangzhong forced the municipal party committee to make decisions on the grounds that he could not carry out his work normally, and finally adjusted Tan Pingshan to the political and legal committee.

Even if there is great dissatisfaction, and even many of the previous investigation clues point to Qian Xiangzhong, Tan Pingshan still does not have any thoughts and pleasures of personal revenge, even if Qian Xiangzhong's corruption can be proved tomorrow, and the investigation will be launched, but if it is not implemented today, they still have to meet and complete the work assigned by the municipal party committee. This is Tan Pingshan's insistence on the principle of doing things for many years, jealousy and hatred but measured. When he walked into the ward and saw Qian Xiangzhong, Tan Pingshan still wanted to try his best to restrain his emotions, but he was still deeply shocked, not only the change in Qian Xiangzhong's condition, but also his haggard and languid demeanor. I thought it was Yao Hong's death that hit him too hard, and he couldn't imagine how an ordinary stomach problem would use a heart monitor and oxygen. It's just that Tan Pingshan doesn't know the real reason for these changes.

Qian Xiangzhong was completely crushed by the explosion, and the news at that moment was tantamount to five thunderbolts, and the shock wave of the explosion instantly pushed him to the brink of death.

After meeting Liu San, Qian Xiangzhong thought that he should hide for a few days, especially after Yao Hong did not go back to Xiaoqinghe Villa that night, but sent a message to tell him about the home of the dormitory of the Muslim staff, he felt that he could not let this form be made public, any change may bring endless speculation and association, and the most important thing to do is to avoid reasonably. In this way, you can avoid all kinds of unfavorable factors, especially when accidents occur, you can be in a free situation, and the best place to avoid is the hospital. In the past few days, he has an upset stomach, which is exactly what Pingyuan County and the people's congress organs know, which gave him an excellent reason, so he was admitted to the senior cadre ward of the city hospital the next day, and refused to be visited by everyone, and concentrated on seeing a doctor.

Liu San really didn't lose his words, and finished the matter that Qian Xiangzhong explained on the evening of the third day, and then sent him a text message with four words: "It's done, rest assured." ”

Although there were only four words, the words were shocking, Qian Xiangzhong quickly deleted this message, along with Liu San's phone number, he had decided not to contact him anymore, and there was no need to contact him. But the news that came immediately shocked him completely, which Qian Xiangzhong got from the nurses who came in and out in a panic: "A car exploded in the city's faculty dormitory, and a female driver was killed. ”

An ominous premonition filled Qian Xiangzhong's whole body in an instant, the faculty dormitory, the female driver, and Liu San's text messages all pointed to a fact, shocked and at the same time really couldn't believe it, hoping that this was just a false alarm, because this was really not the result he hoped for.

Soon the speculation turned into reality, and Wang Gang, the director of the Public Security Bureau, came to the ward in person and informed him of the truth of the bad news.

"I'm really sorry to bother you, there was a vicious explosion in the city faculty dormitory at more than six o'clock in the afternoon, a Porsche Cayenne was bombed, and the female driver was unfortunately killed, and it was later confirmed that the deceased was Yao Hong, the boss of Qinghe Group in our city." Wang Gang's words were a little slurred, obviously thinking carefully about how to explain to Qian Xiangzhong, "The person is already in the morgue of the city hospital." Look, do you want to take a look? ”

Although he had already guessed the result, Wang Gang's words still made Qian Xiangzhong fixed, his eyes looked at Wang Gang blankly, he just opened his mouth and trembled, unable to say a word, and nodded slowly for a long time.

Following behind Wang Gang, Qian Xiangzhong couldn't take a step, just slowly moved to the morgue downstairs, stopping and going, and then two nurses supported him, and finally walked to the door of the morgue behind the ward, but when he arrived at the door, he didn't want to go inside, just stood at the door, staring blankly, his eyes were hollow, and his face was stiff and wooden.

Wang Gang and the others thought that Qian Xiangzhong was overly sad and didn't want to see the miserable scene, so they didn't dare to persuade him again, but they all stood quietly beside Qian Xiangzhong, waiting for his instructions, or go in or back.

Qian Xiangzhong's mood at the moment can be said to be five fires, remorse, fear, anger, and incomprehension surged into his heart together, but there was no happiness and relief, these things he wanted most disappeared without a trace in an instant, only remorse, only pain, and deep guilt. Suddenly, he broke free from the arms of the two nurses, fell to his knees with a pop, kowtowed deeply, and just as he was about to continue, there was a strong stabbing pain in his chest, and his whole body collapsed to the ground like a mountain.

The instantaneous change stunned everyone, and after quickly understanding, everyone put Qian Xiangzhong into the rescue room, but fortunately, it was in the hospital, and the rescue was timely, and the acute myocardial infarction was controlled in time.

When Tan Pingshan walked into the ward, Qian Xiangzhong was already out of danger, although he was still weak, there was no major problem, it was just a matter of recuperation and recovery. The eye contact between the two is a different kind of mixed taste, although there are many things to say, it is also difficult to say.

"Take care of your illness, originally Secretary Liu and Mayor Tang were going to come to see you, but I was afraid that it would affect your treatment, so I was entrusted to represent you." Despite the endless disgust, what was uttered was a warm greeting and politeness. Tan Pingshan hated these the most, but he didn't have any way, especially the commission of the secretary and the mayor, especially hoping to know more about the case.

Qian Xiangzhong looked at Tan Pingshan and nodded, it was a greeting or a thanks, it seemed that he was powerless to speak, and it seemed that he had nothing to say. The feeling after the serious illness made Qian Xiangzhong's heart seem to calm down a little, after all, she also died for herself. It's just that confusion and guilt are still entangled in his thoughts, although he doesn't know how to deal with Yao Hong's affairs, but he never thought that the disappearance that Liu San understood would be like this. Originally, he thought that Liu San would take Yao Hong to a strange city, or send someone to get her to a place where no one else could find her, but it shouldn't be like this, and it was such a cruel and flamboyant way, even if the desired result was achieved, it was not the goal he wanted, after all, he felt that he had not yet broken off with Yao Hong, at least he thought so. Therefore, remorse and guilt are always like nightmares, haunting and lingering in the heart.

Tan Pingshan looked at the silent Qian Xiangzhong, and it was difficult to connect the haggard and thin man in front of him with the domineering and empty-eyed strongman in his mind, so he also thought of a dispute between them.

It was caused by the restructuring of the machinery factory two years ago, the machinery factory forcibly implemented the restructuring, and several main leaders in the factory occupied the vast majority of the shares of the restructured enterprise, and forcibly laid off more than 700 people in the whole factory, and there was no resettlement and compensation. The workers quit, and after several fruitless negotiations, they blocked the gate of the municipal party committee, and several major roads in the city were blocked by personnel, causing great chaos for a while.

Qian Xiangzhong jumped like thunder, and strictly ordered the director of the public security bureau Wang Gang to arrange police forces to arrest people, Wang Gang did not dare to decide, and reported to Tan Pingshan, Tan Pingshan also felt that the situation was very serious, but resolutely disagreed with the arrest, and came to Qian Xiangzhong's office with Wang Gang.

"Director Wang, what do you mean, why haven't you taken action yet, are you only going to maintain order?" As soon as he entered the door, Qian Xiangzhong scolded Wang Gang with a sneer, "Could it be that the decisions of the municipal party committee and the municipal government can't be implemented by your public security bureau, um!" ”

Wang Gang's face turned a little pale, and he didn't dare to respond to Qian Xiangzhong's reprimand, but lowered his head and didn't answer. Tan Pingshan knew that Qian Xiangzhong's fire was sent to him, and Wang Gang was just a punching bag, so he hurriedly took over: "Old Qian, old Qian, don't be angry, you can't blame Director Wang for this, I didn't let him arrest people." ”

Qian Xiangzhong glared at Tan Pingshan fiercely, picked up the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and threw it over, it was regarded as a greeting, and after seeing Tan Pingshan sit down, he turned to Wang Gang again and said loudly: "You say, how to clean up this scene, it's ten o'clock in the morning, so it won't be blocked until noon, so that everyone can't go home!" ”

"I don't think it's that serious!" Tan Pingshan said solemnly: "Blocking the door is only symbolic, and it is not to the point of not letting everyone in and out." In addition, the workers have nothing to eat, so what is there not to do if they express their reasonable demands. ”

"What do you think of this?" Qian Xiangzhong's strange eyes clearly showed his surprise, and some were disdainful, and stood up from the desk, "This is blocking the door, it is blocking the door of our Qinghe ** Municipal Party Committee and Government, this is a demonstration, the nature is very serious, we must resolutely crack down, resolutely stop this arrogant crooked wind, otherwise we will block the door and block the road if it is a big fart, and we can't get used to this bad problem." As he spoke, he turned to Wang Gang and said solemnly: "I have already told you what to do, and you will be fully responsible if something goes wrong." ”

"Is that your attitude? Is this how you deal with the demands and wishes of the masses? Tan Pingshan also stood up, "Aren't the municipal party committee and government of ** the masses?" Doesn't it represent the interests of the population? If the masses have grievances and do not go to the party committee and government to complain, who will they go to complain to? Are the demands of the masses excessive? Blocking the door and blocking the road is a little too radical, but how can the masses talk to the government if they don't do it in this way, and it's been more than an hour since the door was blocked, who is talking to the workers, and what are they going to do? Arrest? What should I do after I get caught? Could it be that hundreds of people have been arrested, hundreds of people and thousands of family members have also been arrested, is there such a big prison in Qinghe? Tan Pingshan was angry, and the anger he had endured since entering the door could no longer be suppressed.

"That can't be tolerated and connived, at least the few leaders who are leading the trouble must find a way to control it." Seeing Tan Pingshan angry, Qian Xiangzhong also felt that what he said just now was a bit extreme and had no policy level, but he still didn't want to admit defeat in front of Wang Gang, a subordinate, so he defended it with strong words: "If you have something to say, you should go to whichever department you want to report it, and you can't demonstrate, let alone block the door." ”

"Arrest people, I think it's okay, you should arrest them." Tan Pingshan sneered, and said in a cold tone: "Not only must we arrest these troublemakers, but also arrest the other party to the incident, that is, the current business owner." We cannot step on the misery of the common people to get rich, still less can we take advantage of the opportunity of reform to make the country rich in the name of the country. Turning to Wang Gang as he spoke, he said, "We can't avoid the greed of capital accumulation, and we can't avoid the original sin in capital grabbing, but we have the responsibility to protect the interests of the country from harm to the greatest extent and ensure that the basic life of the people is not violated, which is what we should do and must do." We cannot guarantee that every entrepreneur will abide by the law, but we must use the system and the law to make them have moral blood flowing in their veins. ”

"Morality, don't you think it's a bit funny to talk about morality at this time and place?" Qian Xiangzhong's contempt for Tan Pingshan was a little angry, so he took the opportunity to play, "What is morality, it is the respectable and valuable quality that awaits faith and life ideals and beliefs, and it is the sincerity and purity that has not been polluted by the world." But in today's society, under the temptation of today, morality is as rare as gold, and in today's society, isn't talking about morality equivalent to talking about light with the blind, and talking about Pei Duofei's symphony with the deaf is as luxurious as the majestic atmosphere and thousands of weather? Expecting the merchant to have moral blood flowing in his veins, isn't it just expecting the thief to give up what he stole and the butcher to put down the butcher's knife in his hand? There are individual cases, but is there a universal significance? We can expect the world to be the same, but can we expect the profit-seeking nature of businessmen to be extinguished? The moral character of a society is not established by appeal, nor is it formed by a few days or years of indoctrination, it is all pseudo-morality, which cannot stand the test of time, or even temptation. True morality is the product of socialized development, the norm of the whole society, and the belief advocated and adhered to by the society. The rich and the rich cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, but the most basic requirements and norms, and consciousness and self-discipline are the highest state, but even if it is the lowest requirement, how many people can't do it, and how many people do it? Whether it is due to one's own cultivation or forced by the world's circumstances, who can judge. Therefore, putting aside the environment to talk about morality, leaving the society to demand morality, either poor donkey skills, or foolish dreams. ”

"I'm not arguing with you about that, and now is not the time to argue." Tan Pingshan glanced at Qian Xiangzhong unceremoniously, and emphasized unsatisfactorily: "But please all raise our right arms and touch our chests, see that there is no place for the people in our hearts, this right hand is the hand we raised when we swore to join the party, and the left side is our heart, each of us should torture ourselves from time to time, do we still regard the people as relatives, do we still rely on this kind of fish and water?" Only then can we be qualified to talk about party spirit and purity. ”

"You, why do you talk like that, don't I have party spirit, I don't have the interests of the masses at heart?" Qian Xiangzhong said with a gloomy face.

"We don't argue now, Secretary Liu is now in a meeting in the province, and I suggest that we ask Secretary Liu's opinion." Tan Pingshan waved his hand, unwilling to say anything more to Qian Xiangzhong, "Besides, there is such an emergency in the city, and we need to let him know." ”

As a result, Qian Xiangzhong had no choice but to call Secretary Liu, and Secretary Liu agreed with Tan Pingshan's opinion very much on the phone and solved the problem through dialogue.

Now Tan Pingshan looked at Qian Xiangzhong on the hospital bed, and seemed to remember the argument that day, so he didn't want to stay any longer, and after the courtesy greeting, he put down the gift and left.

The investigation of the case was surprisingly smooth, and the clues were found through the rules of vehicle operation, and there was a harvest soon. Qinghe City does not have a few luxury cars, Yao Hong's red Porsche Cayenne is the only one in the city, thanks to the strong implementation of the "Sky Eye" project in recent years, the city's large and small intersections and important areas are installed with high-definition probes, after searching and retrieving surveillance video, soon found clues in the parking lot of Yao Hong's company, you can clearly see that two men have approached the vehicle, and put something in the trunk. And the suspects were clearly locked, and the two suspects were apprehended on the third day after the bombing.

According to their confessions, the two suspects were instructed by Liu San and accepted 50,000 yuan from him to find an opportunity to kill Yao Hong. Because of the photos and addresses, telephone numbers, and company information provided by Liu San, they decided to use explosive devices to blow up cars and kill people after two days of tracking and stepping on the spot, and finally put the device into Yao Hong's trunk in the parking lot of the Qinghe Group Company.

The Public Security Bureau quickly attacked, arrested Liu San's house, and finally locked up Qian Xiangzhong, who bought the murder, for an incredible reason, but there is no doubt. The Public Security Bureau has placed Qian Xiangzhong's ward under surveillance, and he can be taken into custody once his condition is stable or improving.

The news surprised Tan Pingshan, and he couldn't help but sigh, how much hatred should he have for being so ruthless to a woman who has been in love with him for more than ten years? This is a question that he has never been able to figure out, let alone figure it out
