Chapter 864: Complicity
"Hey."
There was no one in the room, and except for a bookshelf, there was only one desk left, and when the desk was pressed against the door, the whole room was instantly empty, and as soon as he spoke, there was an echo.
He hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.
After doing this action, I realized that the other party did not speak.
He sat down in his chair with some chagrin, his gaze through the glass, and fell into the lonely night sky.
The night sky is full of stars, but it gives people a feeling of emptiness.
I don't know how long I waited, but there was finally a voice on the other end.
"Didn't you say that you won't be allowed to contact me after this incident?"
His voice was cold and clear, sounding like night, giving people a sense of impersonalness.
Zhang Xianzhen smiled bitterly and said, "You pulled me into the water, can I not contact you?" β
"Professor Zhang, I'll pull you into the water, heh, you really love to tell jokes," the other party's voice was even colder, as cold as an ice sculpture, which made people shiver, "If it weren't for your lack of money, would you stand on the same front with me?" To put it bluntly, you take the money to do things for me, what are you pretending to be high! β
"You-" Hearing the other party's naked slander, Zhang Xianzhen said angrily, "Mai family, if I shake these things out, do you think you will have a good life?" β
The Mai family on the other end of the phone cocked one leg, and the corners of his mouth were always faintly smiling: "Professor Zhang, who stimulated you?" β
Under normal circumstances, a person would never suddenly come to him and say, "Do you believe that I will die with you?" unless he is stimulated.
Zhang Xianzhen took a deep breath before slowly blurting out: "Just now, Sun Cai came to me!" β
Mai Jia: "Oh? Sun Cai? Which Sun Cai? β
Zhang Xianzhen said: "Director of the Taxation Bureau. β
Hearing that it was the director of the tax bureau who was looking for Zhang Xianzhen, the Mai family was even more disapproving: "If he looks for you, he will look for you, and the 500,000 I gave you will not be clear, even if he finds out, at most let you make up the tax, what else?" β
Is it worth all the fuss he makes?
It's really useless waste, no wonder I can only teach and educate people in universities in this life.
Zhang Xianzhen sneered twice: "I really made you guess wrong, you think he came to me to talk about taxes, no, he talked to me about the newly appointed deputy county magistrate." β
Hearing the words of the newly appointed deputy county magistrate, Jiang Yu's face immediately appeared in the Mai family's mind, and his body sat up straight, but he still said cynically: "Just say it, now that the deputy county magistrate Jiang is newly appointed, he is in the limelight, what's so strange about talking to you?" β
What a waste of his time.
After talking for a long time, I didn't know what he wanted to say at all.
"Originally, I didn't think it was anything, but while chatting, he suddenly mentioned the matter of Zhengjia Villageββ"
When it came to the three words of Zhengjiacun, he deliberately bit it heavily, almost to the point of one meal at a time.
The cordon on the Mai family's body was immediately stepped on, causing him to bounce up from the chair: "What did you just say?" You repeat! β
Finally stopped hearing the annoying unhurried voice, Zhang Xianzhen showed a sneer on his face: "What? You know now that you're scared. β
"Sensei talk nonsense with me, tell me the chat between the two of you in every detail, and you can't miss a single thing."
Zhang Xianzhen told the Mai family about the chat process between the two people.
In terms of memory, he can retell it, but he can't figure out what the purpose of Sun Cai's coming here is.
Therefore, he took the initiative to call the Mai family, hoping that the Mai family could provide new ideas, at least to clarify the purpose of Sun Cai's visit to their house.
He's not very good at these things.
After listening to Zhang Xianzhen's words about what happened tonight, the Mai family thought of Jiang Yu coming to him at night, and always felt that everything could not be so coincidental, and his face couldn't help but become more ugly, as if he had been painted with a layer of white wallpaper.
Could it be that Jiang Yu had long suspected that he had done something to the fish fry, but he quietly asked others to investigate this matter?
If this is the case, the newly appointed Deputy Director Jiang is also too terrible.
On the one hand, he mediated with him, pretending to accept his bribes, and on the other hand, he was investigating his affairs.
"How was Sun Cai doing all night?" The Mai family is not 100% sure now, and everything is Zhang Xianzhen's subjective opinion.
If one person guesses another person because of his subjective opinion, it is very likely that the guess will be wrong.
It's actually like you're describing a person, from your own point of view, if you like this person, he's like a flower in your heart, but you hate him, then even if he does a lot of good deeds, he's a beast that's not as good as a pig or a dog.
This is the blind spot in people's hearts.
He was not at the scene tonight, so he could only learn as much as possible about the performance of the two people from Zhang Xianzhen's mouth, and deduce from the performance of the two people whether Jiang Yu had suspected that he had done something to the fish fry.
Zhang Xianzhen recalled carefully for a moment before saying: "His performance was normal throughout the night, and there was no abnormality. β
"Say it again, how did he mention the matter of Zhengjia Village at that time?" This is a critical juncture.
Zhang Xianzhen recalled for two seconds before saying: "If I remember correctly, we were talking about Jiang Yu at that time, and while chatting, we talked about him and said that he is now busy dealing with fish fry in Zhengjia Village......"
The topic is a direct transition from Jiang Yu to Zhengjia Village, and there seems to be nothing wrong with this transition, but is there really no relationship between the two?
The Mai family fell into deep thought, and only after a while did he say, "By the way, do you know who the young man he brought is?" β
"It's not very clear, he only said that it was a staff member of the county party committee, and he also said that the two people met by chance, and it was not an appointment in advance. But I think it's too unlikely. β
The most important thing is that Sun Cai has never come to look for him before, and this arrival can be said to be a surprise attack. There is always a reason for a person to visit suddenly, but Sun Cai has no reason, he is like an ordinary friend, he hasn't seen you for a long time, he just wants to come to see you, it's as simple as chatting about gossip.
It is precisely because of the simplicity that it reveals the odd.
Thinking so? Zhang Xianzhen couldn't help but say: "Should they not be here for the matter of fish fry, or have they found out that I have done something in the report." β
Regardless of whether you have already set your sights on the fish fry, but this sudden visit is definitely not simple.
The Mai family also thought of it, and what made him even more troublesome was that if these two people really came for the fish fry, then Jiang Yu must have already suspected that he was doing something on the fish fry, in this case, Jiang Yu came to him tonight just to delay time.
Thinking of this, the Mai family's face became even more gloomy, and he said coldly, "You didn't say anything more to them, did you?" β
"No, I didn't say a word about the fish pond, I just told them what they all knew."
"That's good!" The Mai family still believes in Zhang Xianzhen's mouth, not to mention that they are now grasshoppers on a rope, if he tells this matter, it will not be good for him.
Since Jiang Yu was already investigating the matter of the fish fry, he couldn't wait any longer and had to take the initiative.
Thinking of this, he said to Zhang Xianzhen on the other end of the phone: "Zhang Xianzhen, you remember, as long as you don't tell these things, no one will know about you charging me 500,000 yuan, do you understand what I mean?" β
Zhang Xianzhen didn't speak.
The Mai family thought he was hesitating, so he said in an aggravated tone: "Don't forget, you still have some status in this society, if this matter spreads, it will have an impact on your reputation and your current title, and you don't want to make yourself stink for the rest of your life for such a thing, right?" β
Zhang Xianzhen was silent for two seconds before saying, "I was willing to help you at the beginning, so I thought of today." And I have already taken your money, there is no reason to take your money and sell you, I am already unfaithful, naturally I will not be unjust. β
When he accepted the money with a clear conscience, he had already thought that there would be such a day, so he had already prepared for it.
Hearing Zhang Xianzhen's promise, the Mai family sneered: "That's good, as long as you don't have a problem, then this matter will definitely not go wrong, and in the future, this matter will not have anything to do with you." β
Zhang Xianzhen hummed without resistance, and then put down the phone.
However, the gloomy look on the face of the Mai family, who put down the phone, did not dissipate.
Zhang Xianzhen was helpless to help him testify falsely. Moreover, he can obviously feel that this person still has a conscience, but once his conscience awakens his conscience, and he is very likely to voluntarily turn himself in.
This became a scourge for him.
And the last thing people like him want to keep is scourge.
Thinking of this, his gloomy eyes were filled with bloodthirsty hatred, he waved his hand, beckoned the clerk, and said in a cold voice: "Arrange someone to kill Zhang Xianzhen for me!" β
This person cannot stay, and if he stays, it will be a disaster for him.
When the clerk heard this, he was stunned for a moment, the name Zhang Xianzhen had not appeared in their lives for a long time, and the last time it appeared was because of the fish fry.
He had just learned a lesson, and he didn't dare to ask more questions at this moment, so he received the order and immediately went to find someone to complete this task.
As for who this person is, whether he is a good person or a bad person, people like them who beg for a living are not qualified to ask.
The Mai family sat on the chair, and the whole person returned to a tense state.
It's just a smile on his face, and it hasn't warmed up for a long time.
He looked at the smell of tea on the tea tray that had cooled down and sneered.
Okay, you Jiang Yu, since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust!
