Li Zhi stood next to the corpse of Liu Tong, the head of the engineering department of Steel Town, with a little anger on his face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The key figure in the case, Liu Tong, committed suicide for no reason, making it impossible to continue the investigation of the case.

There are three possibilities for this Liu Tong's suicide. The first possibility is that he did commit suicide in fear of sin, and he was afraid that Li Zhi would kill his family, so he apologized for his crimes. The second possibility is that Li Zhenpin or Li Yousheng sent someone to kill Liu to prevent Liu from confessing to Li Zhenpin. The third possibility is that someone deliberately killed Liu Tong, framed Li Zhenpin, provoked the relationship between Li Zhi and Li Yousheng, and divided the Li family.

Either way, they are challenging Li Zhi's rule of law with their lives, which makes Li Zhi angry.

Li Zhi looked at Han Jinxin and asked, "Han Jinxin, can you find out how this Liu Tong died?" ”

Han Jinxin shook his head and said, "Grandpa Guo, this really can't be found." The servant of the Liu family said that Liu Tong dismissed his subordinates to meet two mysterious guests that day, and then when the servant entered the house half an hour later, Liu Tong had already hanged himself on the beam. ”

Li Zhi asked, "Who are those two mysterious guests?" ”

Han Jinxin shook his head and said, "The subordinates are incompetent and can't find out." ”

Li Zhi took a breath, knowing that he was a little strong. In this era, there are no cameras, and it is impossible to find out everyone's whereabouts. Caring people can hide from the people around them as long as they disguise themselves a little, and no one knows about entering and leaving the downtown area.

The case of the collapse of the factory has become an unsolved case with no evidence.

Li Zhi took a few steps back and forth and sorted out his thoughts.

If someone deliberately framed Li Zhenpin and separated the relationship between Li Yousheng and Li Zhi, then it really takes a lot of energy to do such a series of actions. Li Zhi has been keeping a close eye on the safety of the territory over the years, and ordinary people don't have the energy to make such a series of reactions.

Unless it is the southern gentry who have been brewing for many years and accumulating various strengths, can they perform such a farce to drive a wedge between Li Zhi and the Li family. But Li Zhi feels that the probability of this situation is relatively small. Li Zhi did not believe that the southern gentry could penetrate to this level in Tianjin.

What Li Zhi believes more is that this is what Li Yousheng did. Li Yousheng is a veteran and influential, and Li Yousheng has the motivation and strength to do these things such as transporting away the Huang family and killing Liu Tong.

However, now that there is no proof of death, Li Zhi has no reason to arrest Li Zhenpin and Li Yousheng and torture them. And ordinary questioning obviously cannot solve this case.

Li Zhi stood in the room, took a long breath, and said, "To investigate, this case must be investigated to the end." Who caused the collapse of the factory and who killed Liu Tong must be investigated. ”

Han Jinxin listened to Li Zhi's words and was a little helpless. It is extremely difficult to find out such a case, and Han Jinxin does not have the power to torture and torture suspects. Not to mention that this case is very sensitive, and it will touch the nerves of the Li family in Tianjin at any time, and it is even more difficult to start.

However, Han Jinxin didn't dare to slack off, and still said loudly: "My subordinates must do their best to reconnoitre." ”

Li Zhi looked at Han Jinxin, felt that Han Jinxin was a little helpless, and turned his head to look at Cui Changwu.

Cui Changwu is the head of the discipline inspection team, and he has the power to interrogate suspects compared to the secret guards. Li Zhi said loudly: "If the name is not right, it is not good, and this internal case should be investigated by the discipline inspection team." Cui Changwu, we will form a special task force, with you Cui Changwu as the team leader and Han Jinxin as the deputy team leader, to investigate this case to the end. ”

When Cui Changwu heard Li Zhi's words, his face turned white, and he didn't answer.

Li Zhi looked at Cui Changwu's face and said, "Do you have concerns? ”

Cui Changwu arched his hand and asked, "Can Grandpa Guo ignore the collective opposition of the Li family and no longer seek the support of the Li family?" ”

After listening to Cui Changwu's words, Li Zhi was a little short of breath and couldn't answer for a while.

Undoubtedly, it is impossible for Li Zhi to abandon the Li family.

No power is in the air, it is built on the obedience of the executor. And the obedience of the executor depends to a large extent on the power of the superior. For Li Zhi, his power comes largely from the support of the Li family and the Zheng family.

Li Zhi's relatives are both Li Zhi's elders and Li Zhi's blood relatives. It was precisely because these relatives echoed Li Zhi in various positions and formed an upper-class interest group headed by Li Zhi that Li Zhi was able to speak against the deep-rooted gentry in one town and four provinces.

Without the support of these blood relatives, Li Zhi would not have been able to form such a united collective. If there is no cohesion between the Li family and the Zheng family, Li Zhi will have to play with the emperor's mind and play balance and balance everywhere. In that case, not to mention that the loyalty of the entire force to Li Zhi will be greatly reduced, the internal friction generated by these checks and balances alone can greatly reduce Li Zhi's strength.

Looking at Zhu Youzhen, the Son of Heaven, you can know how weak the superior without the support of blood relatives is. Zhu Youzhen is the son of heaven, and he can't confront the gentry group head-on at all. It is okay to kill a single guilty minister on weekdays, but if you challenge the collective interests of the gentry, you will often end up losing.

Let's ask, if the imperial Zhu family has dozens of clan generals with heavy troops in the imperial court, and dozens of clan civil officials who control confidential departments, and all of them are loyal to the Son of Heaven, will Zhu Youzhen still be afraid of the Donglin Party?

I'm afraid that the bullet will be able to control the situation at my fingertips.

And Li Zhi has such a blood relative, and the Li family has supported the bones of Li Zhi's power over the years. Choi Chang-wu didn't believe that Li Zhi would abandon the Li family, who was loyal to Li Zhi, for the sake of a factory collapse incident and for a Liu Tong. After all, compared to dozens of lives, the loyal Li family is more valuable to Li Zhi.

And the problem now is that there is no proof of death. Torture Li Zhenpin, the "patriarch" of the Li family, without evidence, will obviously greatly anger the Li family. If the Li family collectively counterattacks, I'm afraid Li Zhi won't be able to protect Cui Changwu.

Cui Changwu didn't dare to take such a case.

Cui Changwu took a breath and said: "Cui Changwu's life is not a pity, but Cui Changwu is the uncle of the prince, and Cui Changwu is afraid that the prince will become an adult and no one will be available." ”

Li Zhi frowned when he heard Cui Changwu's words.

Cui Changwu looked at Li Zhi's face, sighed, and arched his hand and said, "Grandpa Mingjian, Cui Changwu is an incompetent boy, how dare he attack the Li family?" Cui Changwu punished the second general Li Xing last time, which has already made the second general hold a grudge. If you use the eagle dog against the Li family again, I am afraid that there will be no place to bury you. ”

"Cui Changwu resigned from the post of head of the discipline inspection team, and he is willing to be a small businessman with food and clothing in the territory of the national government."

Li Zhi looked at Cui Changwu, who was so frightened that he was about to resign, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

After thinking for a while, Li Zhi couldn't help but sigh.
