On the other end of the phone, after Li Guoding listened to Yao Ze's report, his face became extremely heavy, "I know everything, I will report this matter to my superiors immediately, Yao Ze must block the news now, and we must not let the news leak out, otherwise this will be a great irony and humiliation for our mainland cadres, don't leave the phone, you can wait for my call at any time." ”

Hanging up Li Guoding's phone, Yao Ze did not rush back to the hotel, bought some fruits and a bouquet of flowers at a fruit stall near the hospital, and then walked towards Li Lufei's ward.

At this time, Zhou Nanting was chatting with Li Lufei, but it was Zhou Nanting who spoke, and Li Lufei just listened silently.

Yao Ze walked in, put the flowers on the table, and then said to Zhou Nanting: "Nanting, take these fruits and wash them, and I will accompany Lu Fei to talk." ”

Zhou Nanting glanced at Yao Ze deeply, then nodded, and walked out with a fruit bag.

Li Lufei looked at Yao Ze, his eyes were moist, and his pale face was a little better than the previous two days, but his lips were still white.

"I'm sorry!" Yao Ze said in a low voice, his voice full of guilt.

Li Lufei shook his head, "It's all fate." Her voice was weak: "You saw everything?" ”

Yao Ze nodded slightly, "I see." He handed the note and the small tape recorder back to Li Lufei, and then said softly: "You have destroyed these things personally, and you will have to live well in the future, if these things are exposed, your reputation will be ruined." ”

Li Lufei said a little excitedly: "As long as I can let Zhou Dazhi die, I don't care about anything." ”

"He's dead." Yao Ze said flatly.

"What?" Li Lufei's originally excited face showed a look of surprise, thinking that he had stopped, and asked Yao Ze.

Yao Ze said clearly word by word: "Zhou Dazhi is dead!" ”

"Dead?" Li Lufei couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes, dead." Yao Ze explained: "Died on a woman's belly. ”

"You didn't lie to me?" Li Lufei still couldn't believe it.

Yao Ze smiled and said, "If you don't believe it, you can go back to the hotel now." ”

Finally, Li Lufei's face burst into tears, "It's dead, Zhou Dazhi is alive and dead, hahaha......" Li Lufei cried with joy, followed by a burst of laughter, it seemed that nothing could make her happier than this.

"Please don't live in painful memories, okay? After leaving Hong Kong, a qiē started over. Yao Ze said softly.

Li Lufei's face was full of tears, and he asked Yao Ze, "Is it okay?" ”

Yao Ze nodded affirmatively and said, "It's okay, you're a good girl, you forgot about it, your boyfriend is still waiting for you in Huaiyuan." ”

"But I'm not innocent." Li Lufei hid her face and cried, crying extremely sadly.

Yao Ze said softly: "Why are you not innocent, your heart is more innocent than many girls, just because you should be respected for your death, Lu Fei, live a good life, okay?" ”

Li Lufei raised her head, looked at Yao Ze with tears in her eyes, and said, "But I really don't know how to face my boyfriend......"

"You didn't do anything wrong, just be calm." Yao Ze said: "People will always encounter some disrespectful ups and downs in this life, but there is such a saying, it is better to die than to live, think about your parents, raise you so big, is looking forward to your filial piety to them in the future, if you just leave, after ten or twenty years, what will happen to your elderly parents?" ”

Li Lufei thought of her parents, burst into tears again, she choked up and handed the tape recorder to Yao Ze and said, "Can you help me destroy it?" ”

Yao Ze gently agreed with a warm smile on his face: "Okay." ”

Li Lufei wiped her tears and said with a smile: "Thank you, Yao Ze." ”

"No, you don't have to thank me, if I hadn't asked you to come to Hong Kong, you wouldn't have encountered these things, in fact, I am the culprit, I am sorry for you." Yao Ze was still apologetic.

Li Lufei shook his head and said: "You can't be blamed for this, it's just a job transfer, no one knows that Zhou Dazhi's brute will be so shameless......" Li Lufei didn't want to stop talking at the mention of this person.

"How did Zhou Dazhi die?" Li Lufei asked suddenly.

Yao Ze said: "I was killed." ”

Li Lufei looked straight at Yao Ze with straight eyes, and Yao Ze smiled and pointed at the tip of his nose, "Do you think I found someone to kill him?" ”

Li Lufei said undeniably: "If it's not too coincidental?" ”

Yao Ze laughed and said: "There is an old saying, the wicked are retributed, it's not that they don't repay it, it's just that the time has not come, and people like him can be regarded as responding to that evil retribution." ”

"That's right." Yao Ze suddenly looked at Li Lufei and said seriously: "I estimate that Huaiyuan will send leaders over soon, and when the time comes, you may have to be interrogated by them about your suicide, think about what excuse you can find." ”

Li Lufei nodded, "I know how to deal with it." ”

Yao Ze got up with a smile and said, "I still have to go back to the hotel to deal with the aftermath, so I'll leave first." ”

When Yao Ze walked to the door, Li Lufei suddenly called out to Yao Ze, "Director Yao, thank you for taking such a big risk, I really appreciate it!" ”

Yao Ze smiled, understood the meaning of Li Lufei's words, just shook his head, and walked out.

When she walked to the door, Zhou Nanting came back after washing the fruit, and when she saw Yao Ze leaving, she said unhappily: "This is going to go." ”

Yao Ze smiled: "I still have a lot of things to do, you can accompany Li Lufei here." ”

Zhou Nanting said: "Call me when you're done, I have something to tell you." ”

Yao Ze smiled and said okay, and then returned to the hotel, the police had already blocked the hotel where Yao Ze and they lived, and Jiang Tianzheng had already arrived at the hotel before Yao Ze.

After all, Jiang Tianzheng has always been in contact with the people of the agricultural reorganization who came to Hong Kong, and now that the leaders of the agricultural reorganization have died in Hong Kong, Jiang Tianzheng is also quite a headache.

Seeing that Yao Ze was stopped outside by the law enforcement police, Jiang Tianzheng sent his subordinates to let the police on guard let him go.

Yao Ze walked into the lobby of the hotel, Jiang Tianzheng frowned and listened to the report of his subordinates, after listening to it, his face was gloomy and ugly, and he ordered: "You must arrest this rampant murderer as much as possible, and give me an explanation for three days from your police." When he saw Yao Ze, his face softened a little, and said, "Director Shao, I'm really sorry that this kind of thing happened in Hong Kong, I have already communicated with your governor just now, and he will soon send someone over to investigate the cause of Director Zhou's death." ”

Yao Ze handed Jiang Tianzheng a cigarette, Jiang Tianzheng lit it and took a puff, loosened his suit and tie, sighed and asked Yao Ze: "Director Yao, do you know if Director Zhou has had any conflicts or conflicts with those people recently?" ”

Yao Ze thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be, I don't know the specifics." ”

Jiang Tianzheng nodded, and said to Yao Ze: "The person who killed Director Zhou is very professional, there is almost no trace left at the scene, the power supply of the hotel was cut off before Director Zhou's accident, and the surveillance video of the video room was also snatched by the murderer after he was killed, and it is even more ......" Jiang Tianzheng's face fluctuated a little, glanced at Yao Ze, and said: "What is even more unimaginable is that after Director Zhou's death, the murderer actually blamed a woman for the murder, I doubt that the woman could have been deliberately arranged by the murderer." Jiang Tianzheng said this just to save some face for mainland officials, after all, dying naked next to Miss This kind of thing will have an extremely bad impact if it is worn out.

Yao Ze listened to Jiang Tianzheng's words and asked, "Didn't you find any clues at the scene?" ”

Jiang Tianzheng shook his head and said, "We haven't found any clues yet, but we must find a way to solve this case." ”

The news from the Huaiyuan Provincial Party Committee and Hong Kong was so good that the meeting was held overnight, and Li Chunhua, head of the Organization Department, led two staff members to investigate Zhou Dazhi's death.

Li Chunhua arrived in Hong Kong the next day, and Yao Ze went to the airport to pick up the plane.

In the business Mercedes-Benz, Li Chunhua and Yao Ze sat in the back seat, their faces were a little gloomy, and they didn't talk much along the way, and when they were about to arrive at the hotel, he opened his mouth and asked Yao Ze: "Is it confirmed that it is murder?" ”

Yao Ze met the head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee for the first time, and he didn't know much about the temper of the chief, so he said with a straight face: "Minister Li, it can already be determined that Director Zhou was killed. ”

"I heard that death is ugly? The news didn't leak out, did it? Li Chunhua frowned and asked.

Yao Ze hurriedly nodded and said, "The news has been cut off and will not leak out." ”

Li Chunhua nodded, "Very good, if the news goes out for a while, it will be a great humiliation for our Huaiyuan, Zhou Dazhi, as an old comrade of the party, is actually ......" Li Chunhua looked distressed, he sighed, and asked Yao Ze: "Are there any clues?" ”

Yao Ze shook his head and said: "According to the investigation by the Hong Kong police, no clues have been found for the time being. ”

After Li Chunhua arrived at the hotel, he quickly questioned several other colleagues who had come to Hong Kong with Yao Ze, and learned that Yao Ze's secretary Zhou Nanting had committed suicide once the night before Zhou Dazhi was killed.

Yao Ze knocked on the door and walked in, and when he saw Li Chunhua smoking a cigarette, Yao Ze asked softly, "Minister Li is looking for me?" ”

"Uh, Yao Ze is here." Li Chunhua came back to his senses, invited Yao Ze to sit down, and then said: "I just heard a few colleagues from your Department of Agriculture say that your secretary committed suicide the night before Director Zhou's accident?" ”

What Yao Ze was most afraid of was that Li Chunhua asked about this matter, and after listening to Li Chunhua's question, Yao Ze nodded and said, "There is indeed such a thing." ”

Li Chunhua squinted at Yao Ze and said, "Because of what?" ”

Yao Ze shook his head, tried his best to make his expression look flat, and said: "I don't know much about this matter, I have been busy with the project in the later stage of agricultural reform in recent days, and I rarely have time to take care of other things. ”

Li Chunhua sighed, stuffed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray, and then asked casually: "Where was Director Yao on the night of Director Zhou's accident?" ”

Yao Ze listened to Li Chunhua's question, and his heart was suddenly abrupt, and then he looked at Li Chunhua with a puzzled look.

Li Chunhua smiled and said, "Oh, Director Yao, don't get me wrong, I didn't doubt what you meant, it was just a routine question." ”

Yao Ze smiled: "It's okay, I happened to have dinner with Chief Secretary for Administration Jiang Tianzheng and Secretary for Police last night, and they can all be witnesses in my absence." ”

Li Chunhua smiled when he heard this, and said, "Okay, I will implement this matter, there is nothing to do, you can go and get busy first." ”

After Yao Ze left, Li Chunhua's secretary walked in, with a pair of gold wire frames and an elegant appearance, "Minister Li, have you found anything?" ”

Li Chunhua shook his head and said: "Not yet, I always feel that things are very strange, Yao Ze's secretary committed suicide in reality, and then he was in a hurry that Zhou Dazhi was killed in the hotel, whether these two things are related or not remains to be verified." ”

"Is Li Lufei still in the hospital?" Li Chunhua asked the secretary.

The secretary nodded, "Still in the hospital." ”

Li Chunhua nodded and said, "Arrange for me to go to the hospital tomorrow, and I will ask her some things in person." ”

It was late at night, Yao Ze had been lying on the bed tossing and turning and unable to sleep, after all, the matter was done at his behest, it was inevitable that there would be some weakness and nervousness in his heart, originally Xiang Chengdong and Xiao Aotian came to Hong Kong to protect Qin Haixin's safety, but now it seems that the two are no longer suitable to stay in Hong Kong, the more they think about it, the more anxious they become, Yao Ze sat up from the bed, turned on the lamp at the bedside, and then dialed Xiang Chengdong's phone.

When Xiang Chengdong was asleep in a daze, he received a call from Yao Ze and asked, "Brother Yao Ze, is there something wrong?" ”

Yao Ze said with a straight face: "Chengdong, tomorrow you and Aotian will leave Hong Kong quickly and go back to Jiangping City first." ”

Xiang Chengdong rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "Isn't there still a task?" ”

Yao Ze said: "No need, now you have a murder case on your back, and it is not safe to stay here." ”

Xiang Chengdong smiled confidently and said, "Brother Yao Ze, you can rest assured, we will definitely not leave any handle for those stupid police cars, they can't catch us." ”

Yao Ze smiled bitterly: "Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, I'm still not at ease, you guys will leave tomorrow after booking a ticket, you know." ”

Seeing that Yao Ze had been insisting, Xiang Chengdong yawned and nodded, "Cheng, I listen to you." ”

The next day, Xiang Chengdong bought a plane ticket to Huaiyuan according to Yao Ze's instructions and transferred back to Jiangping from Huaiyuan.

At the same time, Li Chunhua took his secretary and Yao Ze to the place where Li Lufei was hospitalized.

Li Chunhua was slightly stunned when he saw Zhou Nanting in Li Lufei's ward, and said in surprise: "Nanting, why are you here?" ”

Li Chunhua and Zhou Nanting's father are world friends, so they naturally know about Zhou Nanting's running away from home.

Zhou Nanting saw Li Chunhua and said with a smile: "I'm here to play, why did Uncle Li suddenly come to Hong Kong?" ”

Li Chunhua said with a smile: "Come and do some official business, you just don't give your parents peace of mind, your parents are dying in a few months when you leave, come back to Huaiyuan with me this time." ”

Zhou Nanting originally planned to go back, but after listening to Li Chunhua's words, she nodded with a smile.

Li Chunhua smiled and twisted his head to Li Lufei who was lying on the bed, and asked with a smile: "You are Li Lufei, right?" ”

Li Lufei was slightly nervous when he saw Li Chunhua, but his face seemed calm, and he squeezed out a smile and said, "Hello leader, I'm Li Lufei." ”

Li Chunhua said to a few people in the ward: "You all go out, I have something to ask Li Lufei separately." ”

Yao Ze glanced at Li Lufei worriedly, and Li Lufei secretly smiled comfortingly at Yao Ze, indicating that he could handle it.

The conversation between Li Chunhua and Li Lufei lasted for more than half an hour, and after Li Chunhua left, Yao Ze couldn't wait to walk into the ward and hurriedly asked Li Lufei, "How did you explain to Minister Li?" ”

Li Lufei pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "I made up a story with him." ”

Yao Ze asked, "What story?" ”

Li Lufei chuckled and said, "Are you leaders actually quite simple, I just made a reason, then Minister Li actually believed it and comforted me." ”

Yao Ze smiled bitterly: "What kind of excuse do you mean?" ”

Li Lufei smiled and said: "I sued her that I fell in love with a man in Hong Kong during this time, but that man failed me, so I thought of committing suicide." ”

Yao Ze smiled when he heard this: "Although this excuse is bloody, it makes Minister Li unable to investigate. ”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Zhou Nanting became more and more confused the more she listened, and couldn't help but be a little angry, and said coquettishly: "What are you talking about, what are you hiding from me?" Why did Minister Li suddenly come to Hong Kong and talk to Lu Fei, what the hell happened. Zhou Nanting looked anxious.

Yao Ze didn't have Zhou Nanting, so he said to her: "The night before yesterday, Zhou Dazhi was killed in the hotel. ”

Zhou Nanting listened to Yao Ze's words, immediately covered her mouth, and said with a shocked look: "Director Zhou was killed by someone?" ”

Yao Ze nodded slightly.

Zhou Nanting shook her head and said: "I can't stay in Hong Kong, the public security is really bad, it's not right." Zhou Nanting suddenly asked, "He won't be killed for no reason, right?" Did you mess with someone? ”

Yao Ze pursed his lips, spread out and said, "I don't know about this, who knows if he provokes people or not." ”

Zhou Nanting looked at Yao Ze with a worried face and said, "Yao Ze, you should go back quickly after you are busy with Hong Kong's affairs, the security here is really bad." ”

……

Li Chunhua is not a policeman after all, it is impossible to investigate the case carefully like a policeman, the purpose of his coming is only to consult on the matter here, and then go back to report the matter to the governor and secretary, as for how to define Zhou Dazhi's matter is still to be held by the provincial party committee, although Zhou Dazhi's death is very ugly, but for the sake of the party's internal image, the provincial party committee should give Zhou Dazhi a more harmonious way to die, such as overwork and sudden recurrence of old illness and bedridden excuses, etc. In fact, the provincial party committee didn't care what he did before, and the comparison person was dead, and no matter how much he was investigated, he couldn't be held accountable, so the best result could only be that Zhou Dazhi died in the line of duty.

Two days later, Li Chunhua, head of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, returned to Huaiyuan with his secretary, an entourage, and Zhou Nanting.
