Ni Xiuzhi laughed, looked at Luo Huanwen and said: "Old Luo, you are indeed a big official now, it seems that I really have to pay attention to my image in the future, and I can't embarrass you anymore." ”

Luo Huanwen sighed and said: "Xiuzhi, in addition to my old subordinates, Taozi's brothers and trustworthy subordinates here, I still have a few words to say about you, the last time Taozi went to our house, we said some things, but we didn't say it too thoroughly."

"Your spirit of always maintaining the true character of a commoner is good, and my Lao Luo also recognizes it very much, we are all from ordinary families, and we have all been ordinary people, so in front of the people, we have no official stands, including Taozi, the deputy mayor, the director of the public security bureau and the driver's secretary eat at the same table, which is very normal.

"However, on some occasions, we still have to pay attention to our identity, after all, we are different from ordinary people.

"For example, if I am an ordinary person and quarrel with others, I can grab them by the neck and even beat each other in the mouth.

"However, now I don't dare, and I can't fight with others, in that case, people will say that my deputy mayor is bullying, which will damage not only my personal image, but the overall image of the officials, the image of the government, and no one can afford this kind of consequence.

"It's just that our officials themselves, including you, and all the family members of officials such as Qiaoqiao, people's requirements for us and ordinary people will not be the same, so we must pay attention to everything we say and do.

"Of course, no problem here, your performance today will make Xiao Wang remember it very deeply. He will say that you are approachable, and that what our people want of officials and their families is actually very simple. As long as you have enough respect for them, they will feel close to you. ”

After educating his wife. Luo Huanwen waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't talk about this, Taozi, can you open the vows and drink two drinks with me today?" ”

Yun Yang's pregnancy is no secret now, and Yan Tao naturally lifted the prohibition on alcohol.

Last weekend, Yun Yang came over and brought a few bottles of red wine, and several ladies present drank red wine, and the rest of the people drank white wine except for the driver Xiao Wang.

Of course, Xiao Wang can't drink. However, Zhao Sihai only drank one drink, and he was going to the detachment on duty in the evening.

Yan Tao smiled and looked at Zhao Sihai and said, "It seems that your house is redundant, let's return tomorrow, except for Chen Rong who has been here for a few days, you have been living in the team almost every day." ”

Zhao Sihai smiled: "Master, I learned this from you, you had more than two years at that time. It's either a mission or a team, hehe! ”

Yan Tao glared at him and said, "I was divorced at that time and single. ”

After speaking, he also smiled: "You kid." You mean you're pretty much the same as being single now, right? If you don't wait for a stage, after Chen Rong gives birth to a child, you can take the two of them over. Let the imperial concubine open a branch in Anbei. ”

Zhao Sihai clasped his hands into fists and said, "Thank you, Master." Next time, I'll discuss this with my sister-in-law, hehe! ”

I didn't drink much at this meal. The time was not very long, because they still had to go to work the next day, only Yan Tao and Luo Huanwen drank less than a pound each, and the others were still a little restrained after all.

Han Mei and Ni Xiuzhi kept helping Song Shuxiang pack up their ropes before leaving, Yan Tao asked Xiao Wang and Zhao Sihai to send everyone home respectively, and Lan Ziyu stayed according to Yan Tao's instructions.

Sister Song rented out her own house, and shared a two-bedroom apartment with others in Yan Tao's community, which was also for the convenience of coming over, in addition to working part-time for Yan Tao here, she also had a part-time job for someone else's family, of course, Yan Tao was mainly here.

After sending everyone away, it was only past eight o'clock, Yan Tao took the address left by Zhao Sihai and took a taxi with Lan Ziyu to the community that was said to be haunted.

The community was built in the early days, about more than 15 years old, not the kind of closed community, there are no monitoring facilities, and the building is still at the back of the whole community and the northeast corner.

It was close to the edge of the city, and behind the building was a patch of weeds and trees, and far away from the other residential areas, and it was a bit dark, even eerie, at night.

In winter, it was covered with ice and snow, and it was at night, of course, there were not many weeds to be seen, Yan Tao was only judging from experience.

Because it was an old community, the security doors of the building were broken, and there was no proper property management, Yan Tao and Lan Ziyu quietly entered the corridor.

The corridor is even darker, according to Zhao Sihai, there are voice-activated lights, which are the lighting projects of the municipal government to install Huimin lighting, however, because Yan Tao and Lan Ziyu are very light-footed, there is no switch to trigger the voice-activated lights.

Yan Tao didn't want to be found out that someone had been here.

He groped for the lock hole of the security door that was said to be a haunted house, and the security door here was not a new chip lock, but an old-fashioned hidden lock, of course, Yan Tao couldn't help it.

Yan Tao took out a wire from his pocket, inserted it into the keyhole, poked it a few times, and heard a few slight sounds of "click", Yan Tao reached out and pulled it gently, and the door opened silently.

The two of them dodged into the room and closed the door softly.

Although Lan Ziyu did not graduate from the police academy and did not have any special training, after all, he was young and followed his director step by step, so he didn't ask much.

Yan Tao is very satisfied with this, secretary, sometimes he only needs to have eyes and ears, and his mouth is only responsible for eating.

Yan Tao didn't turn on the light in the room, which would not only expose himself, but also probably attract other rumors, maybe tomorrow someone will say that the "ghost" turned on the light in the room last night.

He didn't use any lighting tools, but took out a pair of glasses from his bag and put them on, which were a pair of infrared glasses that allowed him to see general objects in the dark.

This is a two-bedroom house, the living room is not very large, and the total area is only seventy or eighty square meters.

Yan Tao started from the first bedroom on the side of the door and inspected room by room in a counterclockwise direction.

Soon, the various rooms were almost checked, and almost nothing was found, only a small torn plastic bag was found under the plastic bag of the garbage can in the kitchen, and a small aluminum wire was attached to one end, which looked like the packaging of the common ham sausage.

He carefully placed it in a plastic bag that he had with him.

Lock the door. Lan Ziyu took a taxi to send the director back to his residence and went home alone.

Yan Tao washed up. made a phone call to Yun Yang, and lay on the bed alone and fell into deep thought.

Could it be a mistake in your own judgment? Why is there nothing suspicious to discover?

Thinking of this, he went down naked and took his bag. I found the outer packaging of the ham sausage and picked it up with tweezers, and looked at it carefully, and the factory date on it was September 5th.

What does this mean, that someone has been to that room since September 5th, and has eaten ham sausages there.

It's a little strange, it's an empty house, who has been there since September?

Regarding the "haunted house", Yan Tao didn't pay much attention to it at first, and he didn't think much about it. It was just that he was afraid that someone would spread rumors and cause unnecessary panic, so he asked Zhao Sihai to take time to check it.

However, he felt more and more that something was wrong, especially after Sihai reported the results of the investigation to him during the day.

The building was next to the open space behind it, and although the upstairs and the neighbors lived in old people, it was not unusual to hear the cry of a young woman at night, especially in the summer, and it was probably from outside. It is also normal for young women to quarrel or cry in the middle of the night for any other reason, so why is it rumored to be haunted?

And that's not all. According to Mr. Zhao, the couple rented the house with a young man and woman who moved out after only a week. Needless to say, the reason for the move is most likely directly related to the so-called haunting.

Are they suspicious of a haunting just by hearing a young woman's cry in the middle of the night? Or did someone say something to them? Rent a house and sign a contract. Under normal circumstances, the minimum rent is half a year. They moved out in a week and the homeowner had no objections?

This kind of rumor-mongering behavior is a great harm to the homeowner, not only can the house not be rented out in the future, but even if the house wants to be transferred one day in the future, it is a problem, and the homeowner is indifferent? That's too good to talk about, isn't it?

What's even more puzzling is that this incident originally happened in the summer, and after further investigation by Zhao Sihai, it happened in late June, but when Yan Tao heard the two waitresses talk about it again in the hotel, it was already November.

After nearly half a year, even if there were rumors of haunting, it should have subsided, what is the reason for the rumors of hauntings that everyone dare not go out at night?

If there is no new findings from the second investigation, does that mean that someone has deliberately created rumors? What is the purpose of creating rumors?

This series of questions lingered in Yan Tao's mind and lingered.

He decided that he had to find a way to check it after he went to work, and if so many questions were not solved, it meant that there were problems here, and it was necessary to investigate even ordinary public security cases, and he could not let such rumors fly all over the place.

Considering that the criminal police have been very busy recently, and there is no evidence to prove that this is a criminal case, Yan Tao decided not to alarm the criminal police first.

After going to work, after dealing with a few issues that had to be dealt with, Yan Tao called Ge Hui, director of the Dongcheng Branch Bureau, and asked him to ask Zhao Wentian, the head of the Northeast Street Police Station, to come to him in the afternoon.

Yan Tao felt that it was safer to hand over this matter to the police station for investigation.

At half past one in the afternoon, Zhao Wentian knocked on the door of the office of Yan Tao, the acting director of the Municipal Bureau.

Although Zhao Wentian is in his forties, he is still a little nervous when he first enters the office of the director of the city bureau, and the direct leader of the police station is the sub-bureau, and there is a difference of several levels between the director of the city bureau and the head of the police station, and there are not many opportunities for the head of the police station to directly meet the director of the city bureau.

It is rare for a police station chief like Zhang Zhenbiao, the head of the Xiaoliuhe Police Station, to dare to ignore the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, and that is because he has Ling Zihua behind him, otherwise he would not dare to compete with the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau by his guts.

Yan Tao asked Zhao Wentian to sit opposite him, and Lan Ziyu came over to refill the director's teacup with water, and then poured Zhao Wentian a cup of tea.

Zhao Wentian hurriedly got up and thanked him.

Yan Tao smiled and said, "You sit, Director Zhao, this is my secretary Lan Ziyu, you can call him Secretary Lan." (To be continued......)
