After Chang Ning left Sang Meiying's home, he went directly back to the Provincial Party Committee Guest House, entered the room and fell asleep.

It turned out that Chang Ning put the phone in the room on hold before going to bed.

It was not yet eight o'clock in the morning, Chang Ning impatiently shouted outside the door, "Don't knock, don't knock, the door is not locked, come in." ”

The first to come was Director You of the guest house, apologizing repeatedly, behind him, followed by three people, the two heads of the Markham County Public Security Bureau, Wu Guilong and Ma Yingtang, and finally the young man who was also wearing civilian clothes, Chang Ning also knew, Feng Xiaolin, the new captain of the criminal police team of the County Public Security Bureau.

After Director You went out, Feng Xiaolin closed the door.

"What's going on, what are you doing here?" Chang Ning, who was still leaning on the quilt, glanced at the three of them and asked dissatisfiedly.

Wu Guilong's face was pale, and it could be seen that he had lost a lot of weight these days.

"Chang Ji, I'm sorry, because of my mistakes and mistakes, which have brought serious consequences to Markham County, and I, and I, I have lived up to your trust and expectations of me......"

Chang Ning waved his hand and said unceremoniously: "Director Wu, what I don't like the most is that someone stands in front of me to review me, early in the morning, minus ten degrees weather, the three of you ran more than 100 kilometers, just to review me, are you annoying." ”

Ma Yingtang hurriedly said: "Chang Ji, we have an important situation to report to you."

Oh, Chang Ning knew in his heart that it must be Chang Weiguo and their affairs that had been done, and said with a soothing face: "You three sit down and talk slowly." ”

Ma Yingtang sat down and said: "Chang Ji, according to your instructions, I returned to the county, Ma made a report to the Wu Bureau, and with the assistance of Captain Xiao Feng, he quickly and smoothly secretly arrested Li Liqiu, and at the same time interrogated him overnight, under the powerful policy and psychological offensive, Li Liqiu confessed to his crimes, and at the same time, he also confessed a lot of information that we did not know before, especially Bruce Lee, Zheng Jun, Qiao Anshan, Yu Yuejin and others, colluded with others to privately open gold mines in the Dayao Mountain area of our county, As well as the seven criminal suspects that we did not find during the second strike hard, according to Li Liqiu's confession, the Wu Bureau and our soldiers split into two routes, on the one hand, they sent the Economic Investigation Department of the Public Security Bureau to control the Dayao Mountain mining area, and on the other hand, they quickly arrested the seven criminal suspects. ”

Chang Ning nodded and said lightly, "I have never believed in the confessions during the interrogation, the key is the human and material evidence, and this is the most important thing for Bruce Lee and the other four people on the Nanjiang side." ”

Wu Guilong next to him was very embarrassed to hear it, since he concealed the incident of Li Liqiu secretly letting Bruce Lee and the other four people unreported, Wu Guilong has been living in anxiety, the leader's trust in you can plummet because of your small mistakes, not to mention that because Li Bruce Lee and others are at large, and Changning was accidentally attacked, how much trust will the leader have in you.

"Chang Ji, the requirements and the key points you said, we have solved them, with the existing evidence, we can arrest Bruce Lee and the other four, but now the problem is ......"

Chang Ning waved his hand and interrupted Wu Guilong's words, and the expression on his face became more and more indifferent, he must give Wu Guilong a little color to see, do bad things with good intentions, there are still pitiful places, honest people do stupid things, there is absolutely nothing to forgive, trust is not indulgence, other members of the team are like Wu Guilong, then the position of the county party committee secretary is in jeopardy.

"Don't talk nonsense yet, Ying Tang, I order you to make preparations for the arrest of Bruce Lee and the other four, are you ready? I told you to stand by and wait for my telephone instructions, why didn't you obey, why did the three of you leave your posts without permission? ”

Ma Yingtang smiled bitterly, knowing that Chang Ning had temporarily lost his trust in Wu Guilong now, and he was the same as Feng Xiaolin, in a sense, Wu Guilong's people, which made Chang Ji trust the three people in the room.

"Chang remember, there is a very unexpected situation now, our people, at about 11 o'clock yesterday night, found that the targets we are about to arrest, Bruce Lee, Zheng Jun, Qiao Anshan, Yu Yuejin and others, were attacked by unknown people at the same time within two hours after dinner yesterday."

"What, what's going on?" Chang Ning sat up, although he was a screenwriter and director, he had to pretend to be serious, "Yingtang, you speak slowly, speak slowly." ”

"Here's the thing, after I returned to Markham County from Nanjiang, on the one hand, I assisted Director Wu in secretly arresting Li Liqiu, and on the other hand, secretly deployed the preparations for the arrest of Bruce Lee and the other four, in order to prevent Bruce Lee and the other four from absconding to other places just in case, especially to prevent Bruce Lee and the other four from absconding to other places after getting the news, Director Wu and I sent Feng Xiaolin, the captain of the relocation criminal police, to secretly come to Nanjiang City to monitor the movements of Bruce Lee and the other four in advance, Xiaolin, now you come to report to Chang Ji."

Feng Xiaolin is not yet thirty years old, he is a demobilized soldier, and he has also spent three years on the front line in southern Xinjiang, and there is still shrapnel in the bone of his right leg.

"Comrade Xiaolin, it's hard work, you, an old scout, the feeling of being in the steel jungle shouldn't be bad."

While smiling, Chang Ning divided the cigarettes, somewhat alleviating the awkward atmosphere in the room.

"Chang Ji, after I received the order of Director Wu and Director Ma Fu, I led the other five comrades of the criminal police team to Nanjiang City the night before yesterday, according to the prior regulations, we did not implement 24-hour close monitoring, but only to prevent them from escaping, so the monitoring is not very strict, as long as they do not go out and stay at home, we will also stay outside......

Chang Ning nodded with a smile and said: "Working in someone else's territory, those guys live in an ordinary house, you are doing your best." ”

"However, at 11 o'clock in the evening, our monitoring personnel, after determining that the monitoring object will not go out again, just returned to the hotel where we lived, and got the unexpected news, Bruce Lee, Zheng Jun, Qiao Anshan, Yu Yuejin and others, in the two hours from 6 o'clock to 8 o'clock yesterday night, were attacked by unknown people in their homes, as of 7 o'clock this morning, Bruce Lee died in the rescue process, Zheng Jun, Qiao Anshan, Yu Yuejin and other three people were seriously injured, and now they are not out of danger of life."

Chang Ning was stunned in his heart, what a good show, Chang Weiguo and them played too much, just give some lessons and leave some memory, if you want someone's life, this matter is in big trouble, damn it, you should still be fighting wolves in Daqing Mountain.

"The Nanjiang City Public Security Bureau doesn't seem to have the obligation to report the case to us, how did you get the news?" Chang Ning stared at Feng Xiaolin and suddenly asked.

As if he had been prepared, Feng Xiaolin responded: "The report is always remembered, Nanjiang City has my friends, and neither Director Wu nor Director Ma Fu know about this. ”

Chang Ning smiled: "Okay, since the two directors don't know, then I don't need to know, Comrade Xiaolin, I suggest that you continue to keep it secret from the two directors, that's what it's called a secret." ”

"Yes, thank you."

Wu Guilong and Ma Yingtang glanced at each other, only embarrassed and laughing.

Chang Ning thought about it, as if talking to himself, and as if asking the three of them, "Is it possible that they got the news in advance and knew that we were going to arrest them secretly, so they will plan and play a bitter trick to show us?" ”

Ma Yingtang said with a wry smile: "Chang Ji, I can guarantee with the party spirit that on our side, absolutely no one leaks the news, and they will not act to the extent of killing themselves." ”

Feng Xiaolin also said: "I learned through the people of Nanjiang People's Hospital that Bruce Lee is indeed dead, and he should have died on the way to the hospital, and the injuries of the other three people, according to the doctor's judgment, even if they are cured, they will all become waste people who can't take care of themselves, so it can be judged that it can't be a bitter trick they made up and acted by themselves." ”

Chang Ning was silent for a long time, thinking about how to end it, the current situation is that the active has become passive, and the Nanjiang City Public Security Bureau will definitely not stop the investigation, even if Bruce Lee and the other four are heinous criminals.

"Tell me, what are we going to do now?"

Wu Guilong said: "Chang Ji, I want to go to the Nanjiang City Public Security Bureau, on the one hand, to report on the crime of Bruce Lee and the other four, and on the other hand, to learn about the attack on Bruce Lee and the other four. ”

Ma Yingtang added: "Our plan can be cancelled, I will call the county when I go back, please always remember whether I will go back or continue to stay here." ”

Chang Ning's gaze turned to Feng Xiaolin.

"Chang remember, my people have all gone back to the county, I want to stay, go to the hospital again, and learn more about the cause of Bruce Lee's death and the injuries of the other three people."

Chang Ning leaned on the head of the bed, didn't mean to get out of bed, lit another cigarette, took a few puffs and said, "Comrade Xiaolin, please go to the canteen of the guest house and buy some steamed buns and porridge and come back." ”

"Yes, we didn't eat either." Feng Xiaolin hurried away.

Chang Ning looked at Wu Guilong, then at Ma Yingtang, and asked in a low voice: "The two chief directors, just before we were about to start, there was an attack on the target of the arrest, don't you think it's very strange?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Wu Guilong nodded and said word by word: "From the perspective of the motive for committing the crime, there are two possibilities, either murder or revenge, no matter which case it is, this case cannot be concluded." ”

Ma Yingtang said: "As far as the analysis of the time of the crime occurs, it is either a coincidence or a careful planning, the latter is more likely, four people were attacked almost at the same time period, and the motive for the crime is the two analyzed by Director Wu, and the two must be one of them." ”

At this moment, there was another sharp knock on the door.
