Chapter 1103 [The past is like yesterday] (Part 2)
Gu Yun knew: "Zhang Yang, some words must not be said randomly. Before you have enough evidence, if you let him know that you are targeting him, I'm afraid..." Gu Yunzhi didn't finish his words, but his meaning was clearly expressed. With the foundation and connections of Xue Shilun and his group of people, if Zhang Yang angered them, the consequences would be quite serious.
Zhang Yang said: "I'm not afraid. As long as I find out the dark side behind this, I can find out who is the real murderer of Jiatong. No matter who it is, I will make him pay his blood debts!"
Gu Yunzhi frowned. Through Zhang Yang's words, he already knew what Zhang Yang was suspicious. Zhang Yang had listed Xue Shilun as one of the suspects.
Gu Yunzhi was not wrong. Since Zhang Yang learned that Xue Shilun used Gu Jiatong to stimulate Gu Yunzhi, he realized that over the years, Xue Shilun had never given up on his hostility to Gu Yunzhi. Since he could hate Gu Yunzhi for more than 20 years, it was reasonable to do extreme things.
The rain in the capital was heavy, but Xue Shilun and Xiao Guocheng still insisted on coming to Xue Lao’s tomb to pay homage. Each of them stood in front of the old man’s tombstone with an umbrella. Perhaps because of the weather, their eyes looked a little wet.
Xiao Guocheng said: "I will go back to Canada tomorrow. Some things need to be dealt with and will not come back before July 1st."
Xue Shilun stared at the father's portrait on the tombstone and whispered: "We also promised the old man that we would accompany him to Xiangjiang to see."
Xiao Guocheng said: "Man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations! Sometimes when we think about it, we are like two oxen pulling carts, desperately walking forward, thinking we can change something, but when we pull the plowshare to the end, when we look back, we have nothing to change, but we are the only ones who change.
Xue Shilun shook his head: "There will always be changes."
"Change is only a moment, and if you don't look back, the weeds will soon be overwhelmed with plowed land."
Xue Shilun smiled: "It's not the wasteland, but here you!" He pointed to his heart.
Xiao Guocheng sighed and said, "There is a tide in Beigang now. It is difficult to maintain a calm and unwavering state."
Xue Shilun said: "You have always been my teacher in terms of mentality."
Xiao Guocheng smiled and shook his head, and he whispered: "I'm puzzled by many of your recent actions. I'm stimulating Gu Yunzhi in public. Now I'm going to burn this fire to Beigang again."
Xue Shilun turned to Xiao Guocheng: "Do you think the matter in Beigang has something to do with me?"
Xiao Guocheng said: "I have always admired your courage."
Xue Shilun shook his head and said, "You are wrong. This matter has nothing to do with me. I will not do anything that can cause trouble."
Xiao Guocheng said: "Who will it be?"
Xue Shilun said: "No matter who it is, it is my enemy!"
Xiao Guocheng couldn't help but sigh again: "Shilun, what else can't be let go of when we are at our age? Forget it!"
Xue Shilun smiled and said, "Actually, I have let go long ago. You just think I can't let go."
The two of them looked at the tombstone in front at the same time. Xiao Guocheng said: "When you are alive, you should spend more time with your family."
Xue Shilun closed his eyes, and there was a rapid sound of rain besides them in the world. After a long time, he opened his eyes and whispered: "Something has been very popular recently. It is said that Qiao Zhenliang's daughter is not his biological child."
Xiao Guocheng said: "Sweet rumors are laughed out."
Xue Shilun said: "But I heard that this is true."
Xiao Guocheng said: "Shilun. What do you want to say?"
Xue Shilun said: "You were not..."
A trace of unhappy light flashed through Xiao Guocheng's eyes: "There is a clear and innocent relationship between me and her!"
Xue Shilun said: "Guocheng, don't get me wrong. I just think she is somewhat similar to you in some aspects."
Xiao Guocheng said: "Actually, I don't want to have a daughter." After that, he turned around and walked into the storm.
In June, heavy rains fell across the country, but strangely, Beigang, which was close to the sea, never rained. The sky was gloomy and extremely dull, making people feel depressed and breathless. The working group conducted a large-scale evidence collection investigation in Beigang, and their actions also became a cloud that shrouded the hearts of Beigang cadres.
Gong Qiwei's trip to Dongjiang did not bring satisfactory results, and Xiang Cheng had expected this. Of course, he had to say a few sarcastic words, but Xiang Cheng knew in his heart that it was nothing more than to express his depression. Xiang Cheng was very dissatisfied with the current situation in Beigang, but he believed that this would not continue. The working group would not always maintain such enthusiasm, and the province would not always exert such pressure. As long as they could not make progress in the short term, the province would lose patience and even withdraw the working group.
Xiang Cheng was not wrong. The working group's half-month investigation in Beigang did not make much progress. All signs indicate that they have begun to lose patience.
The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection headed by Wei Longxing also clearly felt the confrontation from Beigang. Their arrival would definitely violate the political interests of Beigang cadres. It is natural to be resisted. What made Wei Longxing depressed was that Beigang's investigation work was even more difficult to carry out than he expected. This cannot be attributed to the discooperation of Beigang cadres. No matter how hard they worked, the available information they found could only be described as pitiful.
Wei Longxing said goodbye to Xiang Cheng this time. In fact, at Wei Longxing's level, there is no need to explain anything to Xiang Cheng, but he still made a special trip, which means that their working group's initial review of Beigang was over, and it also announced that they would return without success this time.
Xiang Cheng was still humble and polite. Although he didn't have much affection for Wei Longxing, his level was there. Even if he couldn't be friends with such a person, he didn't want to have such an enemy. Xiang Cheng invited Wei Longxing to the room and sat down, and smiled and said, "What are the situations when Director Wei comes here today?"
Wei Longxing said: "I'm not here this time to understand the situation."
"Oh?" Xiang Cheng pretended to be surprised.
Wei Longxing said: "Through this period of investigation, we have already learned some of the situation in advance. It is time to go back and report to the leader."
Xiang Cheng sneered in his heart, and he had a preliminary understanding. What do you know? It was nothing more than gilding himself on his face, but he said, "Thank you for your hard work in Wei."
Wei Longxing said: "There is nothing to work. Everyone is doing it for work. We are bothering us in Beigang during this period, which has also had a lot of impact on your work. I hope everyone will forgive me."
Xiang Cheng said: "Director Wei, everyone's purpose is the same, they are all to make Beigang better. You are a bit too polite to say this. Director Liu had an accident this time, and we were also very surprised. We were also very concerned. I hope to find the mastermind behind the scenes and bring him to justice as soon as possible. At the beginning, I said that as long as possible, our Beigang will provide the working group with the greatest help. Is Wei satisfied with our cooperation?"
Xiang Cheng's words were neither soft nor hard, and Wei Longxing nodded and said, "Satisfied, satisfied!"
Xiang Cheng said: "Wei Department, there is something I always want to ask, but I don't know whether it complies with the rules or not."
Wei Longxing said: "You said."
"Why is the accident in Liu Hall in Chunyang, Jiangcheng, but the working group should target the focus of the investigation in Beigang?"
Wei Longxing said: "This is because Liu Zhen left Beigang that night, so he made Beigang one of the key investigation targets."
Xiang Cheng smiled and said, "Director Wei, I asked this not because I had any dissatisfaction with the investigation of the working group. I just wanted to express my personal opinion. As far as I know, Liu Tan went from Beigang to Jingshan that night. According to ordinary thinking, it seems that someone in Beigang was dissatisfied with Liu Tan's work, so he chose to start the process halfway. But on the other hand, is there anyone who doesn't want Liu Tan to go to Jingshan? Oh, by the way, Liu Tan should be awake now. She rushed to Jingshan that night, after such heavy rain, she rushed to Jingshan overnight. What was the important thing? What exactly did she do when she went to Jingshan?"
Wei Longxing frowned, and he could hear that Xiang Cheng was clearly mocking his futile investigation in the past half month. Xiang Cheng pointed out that the working group's investigation had chosen the wrong direction from the beginning.
Wei Longxing said: "Investigation is a long-term process and must be taken step by step. We have mastered some things, but they are not suitable for publication now." This is an extremely general and extremely pale answer. Wei Longxing naturally had no interest in staying with Xiang Cheng and got up and left.
When Wei Longxing went out, he met Chen Gang, secretary of the Beigang Discipline Inspection Commission, at the door. When Chen Gang saw Wei Longxing, he greeted warmly: "Director Wei, you are here!"
Wei Longxing nodded lightly, and walked quickly without saying much.
Chen Gang entered Xiang Cheng's room and saw the clouds that had been shrouded on Xiang Cheng's face for many days dissipating. Chen Gang smiled and said, "Secretary Xiang, the working group is gone!"
Xiang Cheng said disdainfully: "We have to leave sooner or later, and we can't stay in Beigang for the rest of our lives."
Chen Gang said: "I have been searching and doing superficial work, but I haven't seen anything substantial."
Xiang Cheng said angrily: "Will people tell you if they find out the problem?"
Chen Gang said awkwardly: "I mean the province's method of sending a working group this time is inappropriate, which is clearly a distrust of us."
Xiang Cheng said: "There is not a special task force in the Public Security Department continuing to investigate, don't think that the matter is over."
Chen Gang said: "Just check it! Director Liu had an accident in Chunyang. They didn't go to the local area to check it, but came to us to check it. What are you doing? According to their logic, Director Liu still came from Dongjiang, so why not check it in Dongjiang?"
Xiang Cheng found that Chen Gang had obviously recovered his anger, stared at Chen Gang coldly and said, "Old Chen, I don't need to remind you what problem Liu Tan came from Dongjiang to investigate, right?"
Chen Gang said with a hot face: "That's all others slandering me again."
Xiang Cheng said: "If people live in this world, they want to have a face. If you want others to give them a face, you have to want this face first."
Chen Gang's face turned red: "Uh..."
