Two more days passed, and it was Friday.

Not long after going to work in the morning, Qin Mingsheng came to the township mayor's office again. Seeing that there was no third person in the house, he said directly: "Township Chief, how is the matter with the ghosts?" Is there any progress? ”

Li Xiaohe didn't answer the question, but pointed to the chair opposite: "Lao Qin, you sit down and talk about the situation of the inner ghost that day, the more detailed the better." ”

"Okay." Qin Mingsheng sat on the chair and spoke again, "Last Sunday, after we had a meeting in the county seat, I didn't go back to the township, but attended a class reunion. After drinking, he chatted with a classmate who was doing business, this classmate was named Yu Guoqing, and in the chat he mentioned a person. Yu Guoqing said that in August this year, he visited an agricultural exhibition in the capital and met a person in front of a high-tech agricultural product booth. According to the accent, the man and Yu Guoqing climbed the hometown, and both of them turned out to be from Siyuan County. At that time, without saying a few words, Yu Guoqing went to another booth.

When attending the organizer's dinner, Yu met the person again on National Day, and the person was very enthusiastic and came straight to the front. When the fellow saw the fellow, his eyes were full of tears, and he was more close, and the two drank several glasses of wine. He was already drunk, and after drinking these glasses of wine, the man's tongue was a little curled. The man was very good at talking and blowing, and said a lot of projects, including that there was a project in Shuangsheng Township, and that it was the smallest of all the projects. When talking about the Shuangsheng Township project, the man said that he had a secret relationship with the partner, and that the partner had his relatives who were very powerful in the village, and invited Yu Guoqing to cooperate with him on this statement. Seeing that the man's speech was not very reliable, Yu Guoqing casually coped with a few words and politely declined the invitation.

At that time, when I heard about the National Day, I was very puzzled, so I asked the person what he did and what he looked like. Yu Guoqing said that he didn't ask what the other party did, but told him what the person looked like. Based on his appearance and comparison information, I determined that the person was He Erlai. ”

After a little hesitation, Li Xiaohe asked again: "If you think about it again, what are the details?" ”

"Think again?" Qin Mingsheng thought about it, and after a while, he patted his head violently, "By the way, that person seems to have said something contradictory, one moment he said that he was from Siyuan County, one moment he said that he was from a neighboring county, and another time he said that he belonged to Siyuan County." Look at my memory, it's a mistake to drink. ”

"From the neighboring county? So when did he arrive in Siyuan County, and because of what? Which sentence is accurate? Li Xiaohe asked.

Qin Mingsheng shook his head: "I don't know, Yu Guoqing didn't say it, it should be that person didn't understand." After a pause, he added, "I can't think of any other details." ”

"When do you think of it, come and tell me again, don't miss these things just now." Li Xiaohe advised.

"Understood." Qin Mingsheng stood up and asked again, "Township Chief, when will the lawyer arrive?" What do we need to prepare? ”

"Lawyer? That day, Lao Song said that according to what we have, it is not yet time for the lawyer to intervene. After a pause, Li Xiaohe said again, "I'll contact him again to see if he can send someone to do some guidance first, and we can consciously pay attention to the materials they need." ”

"Okay." After answering, Qin Mingsheng walked out of the house.

After thinking for a while, Li Xiaohe grabbed the phone and called out. As soon as the phone rang, he said: "Lao Xu, inquire about something......

……

After dinner, Li Xiaohe returned to the house and turned on the computer to browse. Tomorrow weekend off, there is no specific work content, he just watches the news casually.

"Knock", "Knock", in the quiet of the night, the footsteps seem very loud, as if they are coming to their own house. Subconsciously glanced at the window, there were curtains blocking it, and I couldn't see outside at all, and the footsteps in my ears were getting closer and closer.

Li Xiaohe hesitated slightly, opened the drawer, took out a piece of paper from it, and put it on the table. Then he stood up and walked to the back room.

The footsteps stopped, followed by a knock on the door.

Li Xiaohe quickly and softly entered the back room, closed the door of the suite, and said "Come in". Then he put his phone to his ear and muttered to himself, "Oh, is that going on? I don't quite understand it yet, but you can tell me more about ......"

While talking to himself on the mobile phone, Li Xiaohe kept listening to the movement outside. He noticed that the outhouse door was open and someone had entered the house.

After a while, a slight "bang" sounded, and Li Xiaohe hurriedly said, "That's it, goodbye", and opened the suite door with his right hand.

After a slight pause and operation on the mobile phone, Li Xiaohe walked out of the house. During this time, he heard a slight "bang" again.

The moment he left the house, when he saw the person in the outhouse, Li Xiaohe was slightly stunned and said, "It's a big night, what's the matter?" ”

There was a person standing in front of the desk, it was Qiao Manchu, the village director of Xiangyang Village. Qiao Manchu's face was strange, and he let out a vague "ah".

Sitting on the chair, Chu Tianqi pointed to the sofa: "Sit." ”

Qiao Manchu nodded in response, turned around and walked to the sofa.

Taking advantage of this gap, Li Xiaohe quickly swept to the desktop, and he found that the paper had obviously moved its position, and the direction of the paper was also much off. It seems that there is a "bang" sound twice, which is the sound of picking up and putting down paper.

Raising his eyes and looking at the other party who had just sat down, Li Xiaohe said, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

After clearing his throat a few times in a row, Qiao Man hoarded: "I'm here to ...... Just ask...... The villagers inquired about solving the case again, and said that if it went on like this, it would be ...... Also petition. ”

Listening to the other party's words that did not match the words, Li Xiaohe did not immediately pick up the stubble, but thought about it in his mind and marked the question mark. After a while, he said: "Tell the villagers that petitioning is not a panacea, don't put petitions out at every turn." In addition, the police already have important clues, and a major breakthrough will be made soon. ”

Qiao Manchu let out an "oh" and coughed dryly.

Li Xiaohe looked at each other: "What?" Feeling sick? ”

"No, no, yes." Qiao Manchu stammered, "Listen to what Lao He said, township, township chief suspects him?" ”

"Do I doubt him? When was it said? What else did he say? Li Xiaohe asked.

"You said that the inner ghost is very powerful in the village, and he suspects that he is talking about him." Qiao Manchu replied.

Li Xiaohe's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "The police will not wronged a good person, but they will not let go of a bad person. ”

"Ding", the phone rang.

Li Xiaohe picked up his mobile phone, quickly walked into the back room, pressed it on his mobile phone, put it to his ear, and said, "Captain Xu...... Received...... Understand, cooperate...... Well, confess leniently, resist strictly...... Are you taking action now? Wait, give him a chance to make meritorious contributions...... ...... at the latest. Okay, okay, I've done my duty...... Don't worry, you can't run, and the monk can't run to the temple. With that, put away your phone.

When he came to the outhouse again, Li Xiaohe's face was gloomy and his expression was cold. Suddenly, he noticed that Qiao Manchu's expression on the sofa was uncertain, and he quickly wiped his forehead twice with his sleeve, and kept grabbing his hands back and forth on the armrests of the sofa. I can't help but wonder: what's going on? He asked, "What's wrong with you?" Anything else? Speak quickly. ”

His lips moved several times before Qiao Manchu made a sound: "I, I...... If the inner ghost takes the initiative to hand over ...... Stay, can you ...... Can you be lenient and not affect your family? ”

Noticing that the other party looked flustered and sweaty on his face, Li Xiaohe said coldly: "Be lenient in confession, strict in resistance, the sooner you confess, the more advantageous, otherwise it will be too late." ”

His throat moved a few times, beads of sweat flowed down his face, Qiao Man stood up violently, walked forward, and said incoherently: "I, I'm an inner ghost." No, no, I'm not an inner ghost, I know who the inner ghost is. ”

Hearing the other party's words, Li Xiaohe was shocked, but he deliberately "sneered" and said: "I already knew." ”

"Ah", Qiao Man hoarded: "The inner ghost is ...... Township chief, you said that as long as the inner ghost takes the initiative to confess, he will be punished lightly. If I take the initiative to say it, will it be regarded as voluntary admission, can I be punished lightly? ”

"Don't bother, is it you? Say it. Li Xiaohe urged.

"It's not me, it's ...... It's someone else. If I speak for this person, will her family be implicated if she is guilty of meritorious service? Am I guilty of harboring? Qiao Manchu continued to stare and asked, "Township Chief, you give me a good word." ”

Although he was very anxious, seeing that the other party was going straight to the tip of the bull's horns, Li Xiaohe had to say patiently: "This needs to be adjudicated by the Public Security Bureau, but I will definitely report the situation of you and that person truthfully." I know that as long as the situation you report is true, as long as that person entrusts you to say it, the police will definitely record it as a meritorious service, and the punishment will naturally be reduced. ”

After two sighs, Qiao Man made up his mind: "Okay, then I say, the inner ghost is my wife." ”

This time, Li Xiaohe was even more surprised: How could it be such a plot? He suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued his calm style: "Tell me specifically. ”

Qiao Manchu said: "That's the case, my wife's name is Zhu Xiaohua, and He Erlai is ......"

With the other party's speech, Li Xiaohe gradually understood the ins and outs of the matter, and couldn't help but be complacent about his wisdom and martial arts, and couldn't help but feel ashamed of his self-righteousness. After listening to what the other party said, Li Xiaohe asked: "Is what you just said true?" Where is He Erlai now? How do I contact him? ”

"I promise that what I just said is true, and I will never dare to hide it again." "I don't know where he is now, and I don't know how to contact him?" I'll have to ask my wife. ”

"Where's your wife?" Li Xiaohe asked anxiously.

"My wife...... Oops, she's out there, I'm going to call her. As he spoke, Qiao Manchu rushed out of the house.

After a little hesitation, Li Xiaohe stuffed the paper on the table back into the drawer, picked up the handbag, closed the door, and chased out.

The corridor was empty, and there were no women? There is no crossing the road.

Qiao Manchu ran to the courtyard and shouted anxiously: "Xiaohua, Zhu Xiaohua, where are you?" Where are you? ”

"I, I'm here, woo......" The timid voice came accompanied by a cry.

Following the prestige, Li Xiaohe saw that there was a black shadow moving slowly in the toilet in the southwest corner. He felt a little relieved in his heart: the inner ghost appeared.

"What's the noise at night?" The old man came out of the house and made a sound.

Li Xiaohe hurriedly answered: "Lao Liu, I'm Li Xiaohe, Lao Qiao and his family are joking." Then he lowered his voice, "Call your wife, let's go out together, I'll go driving." ”
