After Chen Mingyu and the others arrived at Sunyuan Village, Cao Yunlei said: "Brother Yu, should I go to the brigade headquarters first to inform their village cadres?" ”

Chen Mingyu said: "No need, Yun Lei, do you know Xing Manchu in this village?" He was a fifty-six-year-old man. ”

Cao Yunlei's heart "chuckled" for a moment, and said: "I know, something happened to their family some time ago." ”

"Do you know where their house is?"

"You know, it's on the edge of the pit at the west end of the village. However, the road near their home is not easy to walk, and the car may not be able to drive through. ”

"Oh, Xiaotao, you find a place to stop the car, let's walk over." Chen Mingyu said.

After Zhao Xiaotao stopped the car in the open space behind the house, they got out of the car one after another, Chen Mingyu took out a cigarette, took it out and handed it to Cao Yunlei.

Cao Yunlei was a little flattered, and hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, no, Brother Yu, I don't smoke." ”

Chen Mingyu smiled, threw the smoker to Zhong Xiaotao, and quipped: "Not smoking is a good habit, you should keep it, don't learn from us two big smokers." However, you will have to be with us a lot in the future, and you will inevitably smoke second-hand smoke, and if you don't smoke, you will suffer. ”

Zhong Xiaotao also joked: "I just drove for Brother Yu, and I didn't want to suffer, so I learned to smoke." I used to be a good boy like you, who didn't smoke or drink. ”

Zhong Xiaotao was joking while lighting Chen Mingyu with a lighter.

Chen Mingyu flicked his hand on Zhong Xiaotao's head, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, you say you are fat, and you are still panting." ”

Cao Yunlei smiled and said, "It's okay, you smoke yours." ”

"Do you know what that happened?" Chen Mingyu spat out a puff of smoke and asked.

"I wasn't there, but I heard a lot." Cao Yunlei said.

"Really? Let's talk about it briefly. ”

"Some time ago, Wang Zijie of their village built his family's ancestral house and occupied part of Xing Manho's homestead, Xing Manho's son Xing Guangming went to Wang Zijie to intervene, but Wang Zijie was more arrogant, as if he beat Xing Guangming, and the next day, Xing Guangming died. However, whether Xing Guangming was beaten to death by Wang Zijie or whether he had something wrong with him, it's hard to say. Oh, by the way, I heard that Xing Guangming had drunk the night before, but he didn't seem to drink much. ”

When Cao Yunlei said this to Chen Mingyu, he had been paying careful attention to Chen Mingyu's face, and at the same time, his heart was beating very hard.

Chen Mingyu groaned, the situation Cao Yunlei said was similar to what Wu Qingqing said that day, it seems that Xing Guangming was killed by Wang Zijie is very likely!

In fact, from the beginning, he was also inclined to this point of view, but from the perspective of the overall situation, he didn't want to move Wang Zijie for the time being, so he chose a kind attitude and asked Ji Xiaonan to investigate this matter. Ji Xiaonan also "lived up" to what he hoped for, giving him a result of "turning big things into small things and small things into small things".

"How much do you know about this Wang Zijie?" Chen Mingyu asked.

"This Wang Zijie is a well-known entrepreneur in our county, and his business is quite large, and he involves a lot of categories, such as real estate, hotels, coal mines, stone machines, etc. In addition, he is also the brother-in-law of our town mayor Guo Tiankun and the village director of Sunyuan Village. In addition, I heard that he also has a close relationship with several county leaders. Cao Yunlei said.

Chen Mingyu actually already understood the information that Cao Yunlei said, and asked further: "Do you know which county leaders he has a close relationship with?" ”

Cao Yunlei said frankly: "I have heard some gossip, it seems that Wang Zijie has a good relationship with County Magistrate Ou, because County Magistrate Ou has a very close relationship with our Mayor Guo, and Mayor Guo is Wang Zijie's brother-in-law, so their relationship is good." Some people even say that the county magistrate Ou has a stake in Wang Zijie's mine. But I don't know if it's true, at my level, I don't know about those things at all. ”

Chen Mingyu nodded, and asked again: "Then Wang Zijie, have you been in contact with this person?" ”

Cao Yunlei said: "I have no direct contact with him, but I have seen him many times, he is the village director of Sunyuan Village, and sometimes he has to go to the town for meetings." ”

"And what do you think of his personality?"

"I think...... Wang Zijie is very smart and arrogant, for example, when he talks to our Secretary Tao, he doesn't have a subordinate appearance at all, as if he is even more awesome than our Secretary Tao. However, once the county magistrate Ou came to us to inspect the work, Wang Zijie was also there at that time, and in front of the county magistrate, Wang Zijie put his posture very low and was busy before and after. ”

Chen Mingyu nodded, he had a deeper understanding of Wang Zijie, and at the same time, he also understood that Wang Zijie was not easy to deal with!

They chatted for a while, and soon came to the door of Xing Manho's house.

This is a courtyard located next to a large puddle, judging from the outer wall of the courtyard, it should have been built for some years, the outer wall of the red bricks has some cracks, in addition, this courtyard has even built a two-story gatehouse, which is very rare in the countryside.

However, from the overall construction materials and the two-story gatehouse of this courtyard, it seems that at least when building this courtyard, the Xing family should have lived quite well, because in the past, there were still a few people who could afford to build a house with red bricks, and in addition, ordinary people would not build a two-story gatehouse.

"Brother Yu, this is Xing Man's hoard." Cao Yunlei said.

"Their family used to be good, right?" Chen Mingyu asked.

"Hehe, Brother Yu is really wise. In the past, the Xing family was a big family in the village, for example, Xing Manchu's generation had four brothers, and Xing Manchu's younger brother Xing Manzhu used to be the village party secretary here. However, starting from the next generation of Xing Manho, there are fewer males in their family, and in the next generation of Xing Manho, they have four brothers, and a total of two boys were born, one of which is Xing Guangming, who is already dead. Moreover, the position of their village party secretary was also snatched by the Wang family, and now although Wang Zijie is the village director, there is no village party secretary in the village, because Wang Zijie has not officially joined the party, if he becomes the village director, no one else is allowed to be the village party secretary, and when he officially joins the party, the village party secretary will be his. Perhaps for this reason, their Xing family and the Wang family have always had enmity, and this may also be the * of this incident. Cao Yunlei explained.

"Hey, Yun Lei, that Xing Guangming and Wang Zijie fought, wasn't it because Wang Zijie's family built a house and occupied the Xing family's homestead? Why don't I see any new houses around here? Zhong Xiaotao asked.

"Hehe, Wang Zijie didn't build a new house here, but built their old house in the south of the village. Wang Zijie wanted to flip the old house in style, but their original homestead was not big enough, so he relied on himself as the village director and occupied other people's homesteads. The Xing family's homestead is next to Wang Zijie's residence, and Wang Zijie occupies about a share of the land. In fact, the homestead of the family west of Wang Zijie's house was occupied more by Wang Zijie, but the family did not dare to offend Wang Zijie, so they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak. Xing Guangming is an impulsive person, he couldn't swallow this breath, so he went to Wang Zijie to theorize, and something happened. Cao Yunlei said.

Zhong Xiaotao said casually: "You know this matter very well! ”

Cao Yunlei was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "Actually, I have heard from others, Jinshan Town is too small, this matter is particularly topical, a few days ago, people everywhere said about it, so I heard a lot." However, I can't say whether what I've heard is true or not. ”

"And who lives here? Is it full of sentences? Chen Mingyu asked.

"Yes, the husband and wife of the prisoner, or their daughter-in-law Wu Qingqing, live here. In fact, Wu Qingqing and Xing Guangming still have a house in the village, but maybe they find it inconvenient to live separately, so their family lives together. Cao Yunlei said.

Chen Mingyu nodded, like Zhong Xiaotao, he also felt that Cao Yunlei seemed to know too much about the Xing family's situation, but he didn't say anything, just said: "Go knock on the door, see if there is anyone in his family." ”

Cao Yunlei stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon heard a woman's voice from inside: "Who?" ”

Cao Yunlei didn't answer the question, just shouted, "Is anyone at home?" Open the door. ”

After a while, the gate of the courtyard opened from the inside, and Wu Qingqing stood inside and saw Cao Yunlei first, and asked, "Yunlei, why are you here?" ”

Then, when she saw Chen Mingyu again, she immediately covered her mouth in surprise, and after a while, she asked very excitedly: "Chen ...... Secretary Chen? ”

When Wu Qingqing called out Cao Yunlei's name, Chen Mingyu glanced at Cao Yunlei, and he was also suspicious in his heart, if Cao Yunlei heard about these things of the Xing family, it would be reasonable, after all, this matter is indeed a very lively topic.

However, Wu Qingqing, a woman like Tao, actually knows Cao Yunlei, which seems to be a bit unreasonable! Cao Yunlei is not a cadre in the village here, what chance does Wu Qingqing have to meet Cao Yunlei?

If Cao Yunlei knew Wu Qingqing, then why didn't he tell himself about this situation just now? What is Cao Yunlei deliberately avoiding?

At this time, Chen Mingyu glanced at Wu Qingqing's delicate appearance again, and his heart couldn't help but sink, thinking that Cao Yunlei should have something to do with Wu Qingqing, right? So, is there any other inside story about Xing Guangming's death?

This sudden thought made Chen Mingyu's mood very complicated, and he couldn't help but glance at Cao Yunlei again, he was really worried that Cao Yunlei would do something wrong under impulse.
