Chapter 61: Skynet 1
A net slowly approached, gradually retracted, the huge tension of the net with the majesty of Sen Sen overwhelming, the mesh was not light, but a round and angry eyes, with anger, with majesty, step by step forced him, forced him to quickly slide towards a bottomless abyss, although desperately struggling to call for help, but to no avail, and even more aggravated the speed of the fall, suddenly a pair of hands tightly choked his throat, suffocation made him breathless, he struggled with all his might. [Ran^Text^Library] [ ] Suddenly, my heart tightened, and I woke up in fear.
It turned out to be a dream, and the nervousness and great fear made Peng Qun's head and body immediately dripping with large beads of sweat. Peng Qun hurriedly got up from the sofa, his mind still haunting the terrible net, the round eyes, and the hands that strangled his throat, and his heart was still pounding violently. It's strange how he could fall asleep in such a short period of time, and still have such strange and terrifying dreams.
I have been feeling uneasy for a few days, and I always feel that something is going to go wrong, but today I finally have an answer, although it will not be all, but it has revealed terrible clues. Things seem to be moving more and more towards an uncontrollable situation, where nothing is going on, and everything is gathered together whenever there is something. This is something Peng Qun didn't expect, and it is also something he feels more and more difficult to deal with, it seems that there is always a shadow slowly shrouding over, which also makes this day extremely long and difficult.
Different from the cheerful and warm noon, the dinner was still held in the luxurious private room of the seafood hotel, and the dishes were just as exquisite and sumptuous, but it seemed cold and even a little embarrassing. Perhaps it was the scene during the afternoon inspection that seriously affected the mood of the leaders, and after taking their seats as the guest of honor, Vice Governor Huang made an unprecedented proposal not to drink alcohol at dinner or to drink a small amount of red wine, so as not to have a bad impact when watching performances and partying with the masses in the evening. The proposal came as a surprise to everyone, but it was quickly recognized and supported by the leaders from Beijing, so the dinner was simple and neat, and the dinner time that was originally planned to be two hours was hastily ended in less than an hour. Completely disrupted the relevant agenda arrangement, fortunately, during the dinner Peng Qun carried out a detailed emergency deployment, proposed that the leaders take the car to enjoy the night view of the small county, feel the quiet and peaceful social security and people's life in the small town, and get the response of the leaders, especially the leaders from Beijing, so the team turned around in the bustling streets of the county for nearly an hour, which was considered to have coped with this embarrassing time, and when the leaders arrived at the convention and exhibition center, they still waited for the warm welcome and welcome of everyone. The atmosphere and scene are still warm and peaceful.
If the leaders enter the convention and exhibition center in advance, it seems that it will bring chaos, even if they return to the hotel to rest, they will be lonely and unprepared.
It is the highlight of the Zaoxiang Festival, and it is also the most brilliant party and mass celebration. The well-prepared evening party was like an appetizer before a grand banquet, and after the leaders enjoyed the modern song and dance performance with great interest, the subsequent changes pushed the event to the top. Under the action of the mechanical device, the high stage slowly descends, and the partition between the hall and the stadium is slowly opened, showing in front of the stadium many cheering people, as well as wonderful folk art performances, not only dragon dance and lion performances, but also acrobatics and martial arts with plain characteristics, and more wonderful is the change of the entire convention and exhibition center, the ceiling slowly opens in the shape of petals, and slowly falls in all directions. At the same time, the exhibition center around the fireworks, fireworks in full bloom, a variety of flower color fireworks dizzying, but also attracted the cheers and cheers of the crowd, the atmosphere of the audience reached the first, so that the leaders were delighted, and repeatedly praised the party and the venue design is novel and unique, the arrangement is ingenious, original, the performance is good, it is worth promoting and learning, and the beautiful words also express the happy mood and cheerful mood of the leaders of Beijing.
In the cheers and applause of the masses, the leaders left the venue satisfied, and the convoy returned to Xiaozhao, Peng Qun and Hao Han sent the leaders into the guest rooms respectively, ending the busy day in joy and joy.
Peng Qun has carefully prepared for several months of large-scale activities of the Jujube Festival, and the most brilliant grand party and fireworks show have been appreciated and highly praised by the leaders, which is the result and effect that he can expect. Although millions of yuan were spent on this venue, the seemingly casual performances, the mass party with strong folk characteristics, and the lighting design full of high-tech elements were all designed and choreographed by a professional planning team in Beijing, and hundreds of thousands of yuan were spent on additional planning costs. Peng Qun thinks it's worth it, and it's not surprising that he would rather not engage in such activities, and such activities are not only the impact of the Plains and the Zaoxiang Festival, but the overall image and influence, and it can last for a long time. These are things that Hao Han and they can't understand, and they can't coordinate and communicate with them.
But in addition to the joy, Peng Qun was also a little disappointed, and even a little annoyed, this is the attitude of Vice Governor Huang and his always gloomy face, but not always gloomy, and even when he encountered people from private financing on the road to visit in the afternoon, he was very peaceful, very kind, and very patient to explain and persuade. The next trip was also full of interest, talking and laughing, explaining and talking with the leaders from Beijing, and trying their best to strive for the implementation of the characteristic industry planning of the Ministry of Agriculture for Pingyuan County. It was only a phone call before dinner that completely changed my mood, so much so that even the habit of drinking alcohol was abandoned. Ignoring the minimum etiquette, he even did not hesitate to offend the leaders from Beijing, and at dinner he proposed not to drink alcohol at an inopportune time, and he did not see him smile until the end of the party, not even a polite and polite smile. Even Peng Qun sent him to the room, in the past, whether it was in Beijing, or in the provincial capital, or last time in the plain, he had to stay in the room to talk about it as usual, at least he could wait for Peng Qun, who was a subordinate, to pour him a cup of tea and say a few words of greetings, such a chance was not there, and he directly invited Peng Qun out of the room coldly on the grounds that he was tired.
Maybe you don't have to think about it, maybe it's that phone call. Who made the call and what it said, this is what Peng Qun is most concerned about, and he is also the most eager to know, but he didn't have time to think too much about this, because the thorny issue now is not Vice Governor Huang's attitude and emotional changes, but Gao Shan's whereabouts.
After walking back to his room, he called Zhang Shouzheng and asked him to come over immediately. Just waiting for Zhang Shouzheng, he was able to fall asleep, and he even had a nightmare, which made him really a little annoyed, irritable, and inexplicably nervous and uneasy. Then there was a soft knock on the door, and he said impatiently, "Knock on the door, come in." ”
Zhang Shouzheng walked in quickly, still carrying a computer in his hand, closed the door casually, and asked cautiously, "Will you have time here?" ”
"Less nonsense, pick up the important ones." Zhang Shouzheng's low three and four made the unhappiness in Peng Qun's heart even more silted, and he said loudly and irritably: "What results have you found?" ”
"Gao Shan may be controlled by the provincial public security department." Zhang Shouzheng said nervously and hurriedly, in order to confirm his basis, he turned on the computer, and explained while collecting pictures: "We have verified through many parties, and finally mobilized photos of this car at the entrance of the Pingyuan Expressway, and it is estimated that this car may have taken away Gao Shan." ”
Peng Qun looked at the picture in the computer closely, it was a white off-road vehicle, the picture was very clear, and he could roughly see the faces of the front driver and the passenger in the co-pilot position, but the rear row could not be seen clearly, he turned his face to look at Zhang Shouzheng, did not speak, but his emotions gradually calmed down.
"This car and the car behind it are estimated to be together" Zhang Shouzheng quickly flipped through the pictures, pointed to another green off-road vehicle and said, and kept flipping through the photos for Peng Qun to see, some in the county and some on the highway, and said with certainty while looking: "It's basically certain that these two cars are together." From the vehicle information verification, these two cars are both license plates of the provincial capital, and they are both civilian license plates, but the owner information of the white vehicle shows that it is a car of the Public Security Department. Through the vehicle trajectory check, in the morning and noon, the car appeared in the parking lot in front of the seafood hotel, here are the photos taken by the parking lot monitoring, and from the time inference, it is also from here directly on the highway, as for the last to get there, we can't find it here, if you want to check, you can only contact the high-speed traffic police there, and get the entry and exit records of the high-speed bayonets, you can completely restore the truth of the matter. ”
Peng Qun waved his hand and stopped Zhang Shouzheng, which seemed to stop him from further investigation, and seemed to stop him from talking further. Standing up from his desk, he subconsciously took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and slowly gathered his chaotic thoughts. He clearly realized that as long as he was sure that he was taken away by the people of the Public Security Bureau, it didn't matter where he took it, because the result was the same, that is, it was out of his control, just like a kite with a broken string, where it fell, it didn't matter anymore. After all, it has fallen, and even if it can be found in the end, it no longer makes any sense for flying. Suddenly, a sad mood rose in Peng Qun's heart, and he seemed to have returned to the scene of helpless slipping in his dream, no matter how he struggled, he couldn't grasp anything that could be supported, even if it was a rope or a piece of grass, there was nothing, there was only a struggle of loss and powerlessness and hopelessness. It seems that it is himself who has been taken away in the car, and what has been lost is not only freedom, but also the unknown future and end. And why is it impossible, it can be a mountain, or it can be yourself, it's just a difference in time, method, or form. When I thought of that moment, I also thought of the sweating after waking up from the dream, and I felt more and more helpless and powerless.
Peng Qun fell into deep pain, forgetting Zhang Shouzheng on the side, and forgetting what else to say, until there was a burning sting pain from his fingertips, he suddenly realized that he hurriedly extinguished the cigarette butt that had burned his fingers in the ashtray, and seemed to have his thoughts extinguished somewhere. came back to his senses, immediately regained his majesty and condescending demeanor, stared at Zhang Shouzheng's face and said slowly, "Is there anything else?" ”
"That's basically it." Zhang Shouzheng replied respectfully, he didn't know what Peng Qun meant by questioning, whether he had anything to add, or whether he was questioning what else he was doing, whether the conversation continued, or whether he meant to chase away customers. Peng Qun always likes such rambling questions, making people speculate, it seems that this can show more incomprehensibility as a leader, and can also invisibly reflect the hierarchical relationship between the interlocutors, maybe this is the wisdom of the leader, he does not know, so he can only answer ambiguously, waiting for a reprimand from Peng Qun, or a hint. It was always like this, and he was used to speaking like this, but at this moment he felt that he still had to say it, after all, some words were like a fish in his throat, and not saying it was not only disrespectful to Peng Qun, but even irresponsible to his duties. Therefore, he said cautiously: "At the beginning, we also thought about whether it would be revenge or business disputes, these are all possible, because Gaoshan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is normal to have enemies outside, but through the trajectory of the vehicle, it was found that on the day Zhang Fugui disappeared, these two cars left the plain together, and it is estimated that they were also picked up by these two cars." ”
Peng Qun looked at Zhang Shouzheng in puzzlement, as if he wanted to see the answer from his eyes, he did not doubt Zhang Shouzheng's ability and judgment as a public security officer, let alone their investigation and detection techniques. As a police officer and director of the public security bureau, Zhang Shouzheng is competent, and it is not too much to say that he is excellent. He has been in this industry for decades, has been the director of the bureau for four or five years, and has rich experience in public security, which is why after Peng Qun came to Pingyuan, the top leaders of the functional departments have almost been adjusted, but the team of the Public Security Bureau has not been adjusted, that is, Zhang Shouzheng is still handy to use, and there is no more suitable person who can control the special department of the Public Security Bureau. Of course, Zhang Shouzheng's understanding of affairs and understanding of human feelings are also important factors, so I feel that this person is still reliable. At least obedience is one thing, whether it is scolding or anger, he is always loyal, this is also the conclusion he has reached from long-term observation and attempts, but at this moment he has no interest in listening to him anymore, his mind is very messy, and he needs to straighten it out as soon as possible. There are too many things that have come this day, too suddenly, and they need to think calmly and predict.
"Is there anything else you need to say?" Peng Qun showed a rare smile, as if praising Zhang Shouzheng's achievements, and said gently: "If not, go back first!" I'm tired enough these days, and I'm going to be busy tomorrow, so I'll have a good rest. ”
"Thank you Secretary Peng for your concern, this is all as it should be." Zhang Shouzheng said gratefully, stood up and packed up the computer, and was about to leave, but suddenly said as if he thought of something: "There is a problem to report to you, the director of the Chengdong Police Station just reported, Jiao Zan is also gone, and it is estimated that he has also been taken away." ”
"Jiaozan was also taken away? What's the use of him taking away a little minion? Peng Qun's eyes widened, and he unconsciously raised his voice: "How many people were taken away in total, is there an accurate number?" ”
"From the afternoon to the evening, our police officers carefully combed through and investigated the relevant personnel of the Gaoshan Company. In addition to Gao Shan, the company's senior management has a vice president of finance and a vice president in charge of operations, plus Jiao Zan, a total of four people. Among the four people, only Jiao Zan has the lowest position, it is estimated that he is responsible for the murder, and he knows a lot about the shady scenes of the Gaoshan Group. Zhang Shouzheng thought about it and said, "In addition, the detention center has just reported that the two suspects in the arson case they are detaining, Cui Lianguo and Tao Qunshan, were also officially taken away by the Public Security Department in the afternoon, without notifying the county public security bureau." ”
"Why didn't you say this earlier, everyone has taken it away, what's the use of talking about it now?" The anger in Peng Qun's heart began to burn again, as if he wanted to burn the person in front of him through the eyes of the fire.
"It was also our police officers who called to inquire at night, and they reported it, thinking that it was just a transfer in a general sense, and it did not attract attention." Zhang Shouzheng explained in a snort, his hand holding the computer trembling slightly.
Peng Qun waved his hand no longer to listen to his explanation, and at the same time signaled him to leave quickly, Zhang Shouzheng lowered his eyebrows and slowly moved to the door, and turned back to Peng Qun when he opened the door, and whispered to Peng Qun: "There is nothing abnormal in the few leaders, and there is no one to let people go in to report their work." As he spoke, he walked out of the door at Peng Qun's signal and closed the door.
Takayama is completely finished this time. The moment Zhang Shouzheng left, this thought suddenly rose into Peng Qun's mind, and gradually stubbornly grew and spread. He slowly walked over to the couch and sat down, took out a cigarette and lit it, slowly combing through the chaos of thoughts.
He did not regret the fall and collapse of Gao Shan, and even secretly rejoiced. This stems from his view of Gao Shan, he doesn't like him, and even disgusts him, disgusted with his hypocritical smile, disgusted with his muddy voice, disgusted with his pretended elegant Chinese clothes, and even his posture of walking briskly, all of which are hypocritical and contrived. On many occasions, he expressed his dislike for Takayama, and even sometimes deliberately embarrassed Takayama and couldn't get off the stage. This is not only because Gao Shan is a businessman and an industrialist who does business, he has interacted with a lot of entrepreneurs and businessmen over the years, and he has also had **naked transactions or exchanges, and he has not developed disgust and special disgust. He always believed that it didn't matter what he did, that it was not a big sin to be mercenary, and that revealing his thoughts and wishes was not despicable, but rather confessional. After all, it is an economy and society, only profit is the basic psychology, the way to profit can be varied, the use of their own unique way to gain is not a mistake, but wisdom and intelligence, should be respected, even if there are improper methods and means, it is also understandable and respected, there is no such big difference between the great evil and the great loyalty. The so-called great traitor is like loyalty, and great loyalty is like a traitor, and there are no people in the world who are born to commit great rape and evil, all of which are formed under the influence of education and social environment. Whether sex is good or evil, it is a nonsense issue, and it is also a matter that philosophers and scholars should argue, and there is no need for ordinary people to consider and discuss it at all, because whether it is sexual evil or sexual good, it can only be judged and influenced by adults who have the conditions to do good and evil, and it is not a consistent psychology and standard. Murderers can kill people, but they can also give stolen property to beggars on the side of the road, and an excellent man with excellent character and learning can also insidiously plot competition with colleagues while doing good deeds, the key is to look at the final result and composition. Robbery is caught and killed, that must be the great evil person, the previous good deeds or the love and sincerity of family and friends, all of them are all footnotes to the great evil, proving the insidiousness and cunning of the great evil, as well as the hidden cleverness or clumsiness, and a person with bad deeds bravely sacrificed his life for righteousness, and the past bad deeds have become a chain in the halo, proving the greatness and tenacious vitality of kindness. In fact, all of this is people's evaluation and judgment after the fact, and has nothing to do with the occurrence of things, let alone the thinking of the dominant behavior. In a normal social environment where everyone is good, people who are evil may also restrain themselves, dare not be evil, and even be good and good in their hearts. In a violent and extreme environment, good people will also do evil in order to survive, which is the influence of the environment, and it is not immutable. The environment changes, the wicked can become good and good, and the good can also become bad. Qin Hui seems to be a typical example of great treachery and evil, the reason is that he designed to kill Yue Fei, but putting aside the political interests, the main peace clears the obstacles of the main battle, what is wrong in terms of interests, not to mention the suspicion of carrying the black pot for Zhao Gou. Zeng Guofan killed countless soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Rebellion, and it can be said that he single-handedly suppressed the peasant uprising of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and saved the Qing Dynasty's country and rule. At the same time, he is also a great thinker, a great educator, and even a great father, who has won the admiration of many literati and politicians in later generations, how can good and evil be reflected in him, how many achievements can a literati make in a martial artist can not achieve in a lifetime, and if there is no general environment of peasant uprising, at best he is just a literati in the Hanlin Academy, a civil official in the Manchu Dynasty, this is the influence of the environment, this is the opportunity of history. This kind of thinking is deeply ingrained in Peng Qun's heart, and it also tenaciously influences his actions and thinking.
Only the hatred for Gao Shan is deep-rooted in his bones, and he has never changed since the first day he met him. To say that Gao Shan gave him much more practical benefits than those previous merchants, but he couldn't like it at all, and even disgusted with the feeling of being kidnapped and coerced by him. This is not only because Gao Shan was introduced to him by Sister Yu, he is Sister Yu's agent and actual operator in the plains, and even because he always uses Sister Yu's power to make him submit and submit, which is all tolerable and bearable, the key is that the insidious in the eyes of this little southern man and the viciousness in his heart make him unbearable, and even a little chilling.
The mountains are too bold and sometimes simply lawless. Since he came to the plains, the struggle for interests has never stopped, and the struggle for mines, construction sites, and projects has often occurred. In the past, Peng Qun never recognized any underworld, thinking that it was all exaggerated alarmism, just something attached to prove its harm. For so many years in Deqing, there were fights and entanglements around the mining and ownership of gold mines, but no signs of the underworld were found. The current social environment will breed the underworld, and the organizational structure and management system of the underworld will be produced, which is simply a joke, at best, a few street gangsters use their own brutality and unreasonableness to bully the kind and helpless people. In the past few years since Gao Shan came, he felt that things were not as simple as he imagined, Gao Shan's expansion and development ambitions were purposeful and planned, not because of Sister Yu's support, but his own plans and purposes, and it was also different from the actions of rural village bandits and village tyrants. First, it focuses on the mine, uses the stone and sand and gravel produced by the mine, constantly intrudes on the construction site under construction, and gradually controls the supply of materials on the site for the purpose of supplying stone and building materials, and then artificially creates contradictions to cause the construction site to stop work and production, and then reasonably and legally seeks the protection of the government and the law on the grounds of safeguarding its own rights and interests, and then has the management authority and interests of the building in a grand manner. When the project is completed, he also owns all the property rights or most of the property rights of the building, and even if he fails to achieve this purpose, he can occupy the building under the pretext of contracting and operation, and in a short period of time he has become the largest and most boss of Pingyuan assets and projects. They are all indiscriminate, intimidating, kidnapping, extortion, fighting, self-harm, and even persecution, and dozens of thugs with different identities under their hands play different roles and do things with a good division of labor. What's even more terrifying is that his subordinates are not unemployed, but grassroots assistant police, security guards, urban management, road administration, as well as lawyers and street workers from various grassroots police stations. The division of labor is clear, the coordination and cooperation are very smooth, and these are not all instructions and arrangements of Sister Yu, they are the continuous purposeful intersection and infiltration of Gao Shan, and even some do not go through formal procedures and levels, many do not need Peng Qun's greetings and hints, or through the bureau's office meeting research, they are temporary and random personnel, and they do not need to be arranged by the county or the bureau, and the grassroots units can make decisions. As long as the funds are in place, the income task can be increased and completed, and the above does not bother to ask about the composition and source of grassroots personnel. Peng Qun didn't know how many such people there were, how many grassroots units were controlled and connected by Gao Shan, and even how many bureaus and committees had close ties with Gao Shan and handled affairs for him, so he couldn't help but be afraid when he thought about it.
Over the past year or so, there have been frequent incidents of forced evictions and forced demolitions, and incidents of forcibly occupying farmland and colluding with villages to buy and sell by force have also occurred from time to time; a few days ago, there were incidents of forced robbery of farmland and deaths, and there was no time to deal with them. Sometimes Peng Qun even thinks that Gao Shan is a time bomb that may explode at any time, and he doesn't know when it will blow him up.
All the spearheads and questions are pointed at Peng Qun, thinking that he is Gao Shan's umbrella, and he is the one who connives, and Peng Qun can only silently bear these groundless accusations, he can't distinguish, he can't tell, and he can't even have the idea of differentiating.
After all, from the introduction of the mountains to the plains, to the current situation, Peng Qun has seen, known and acquiesced, even if it is not protection, it is connivance and indulgence. Sometimes I feel that Gao Shan and him are like a pair of masters of the game, each other knows the opponent's hole cards, but does not know which cards the opponent plays first, and in this kind of game, Peng Qun feels that he is undoubtedly a loser, and defeated invisibly, and defeated on the clear surface, so that he is convinced, but unwilling.
Where is the defeat, Peng Qun has always been thinking but has never had an accurate and complete answer, he clearly saw all the hole cards of Gao Shan, and even saw his own advantages, he didn't need too much wisdom, he only needed to play normally to put the opponent to death, and he could win without blood. Perhaps it was this self-confidence and conceit that made him lose at the hands of his opponents, and he was so embarrassed and invulnerable. Sometimes I feel that I have lost the battle without fighting back, perhaps because I underestimated the enemy, or maybe I was too careless. Gradually, I found that the opponent was not ready to play this deck of cards with you, not even with you, but dug a deep pit between you and him, waiting for you to attack, waiting for you to fall into the pit from which you will never recover.
When you can see his hole cards, you are confident that he has frequently played good cards, and when it is difficult to continue and wait for you to exert your strength, you suddenly find that your opponent has a key card that you have not seen, and this key card is enough to end the game.
And this key card is not Sister Yu, but the person standing behind Sister Yu, who holds all the secrets of Peng Qun, that is, Peng Qun's death hole, this person is Huang Qing, who is the person he fears the most and cannot be ignored. If Gao Shan is manipulated in the hands of his sister, and he Peng Qun is manipulated in the hands of Huang Qing, whether this card is played or not, how to play, it is not his final say at all, and it can even be said that he has lost if he does not play.
Gao Shan played a good card from the beginning to show his strength, and then showed weakness to make him paralyzed and take it lightly, thinking that he was in control, he had completely controlled the situation, victory was only a matter of time, didn't know that he didn't play cards according to the card, he didn't give him normal cards, so that you were paralyzed and caught off guard, tired to deal with, and finally could only fold and admit defeat, or watch him perform.
Gao Shan is such a person, he looks very modest and friendly, and even low-key and a little humble, but that is his appearance, the insidious and cunning inside, and even cruelty cannot be seen through the appearance, so Peng Qunda hates him in his heart, but he can't help but deal with him, because he can't afford to offend Sister Yu and the person behind Sister Yu.
Sometimes Peng Qun feels that he is simply a puppet, kidnapped and manipulated by Gao Shan and Sister Yu, all his thoughts and actions come from external commands, and all the disagreements and accusations have to be borne by himself.
How did all this come about, and how did it get to this point, is a question that Peng Qun has been thinking about for a long time, and the only reason is that arrogance and carelessness caused all this
