Chapter 313 Don’t do it for yourself
"You mean the person who came to see you this morning has changed to another place?"

Zhao Laosan was very dissatisfied with Liang Qiutao who came to see him every day and came to his workplace today.

He is on duty in the cafeteria today and will not go home in the evening. He will work until after breakfast tomorrow morning, and then go home to rest until the day after tomorrow morning.

It was a little after seven in the evening. They had just finished cleaning up the aftermath of dinner in the cafeteria when the attendant on duty at the gate came to find him and said that his nephew had come and had made Zhao Laosan angry.

He couldn't figure out what this kid was up to.

After coming out, the two of them sat on the curb. When he heard the reason why Liang Qiutao came to find him again, he was suddenly shocked.

"What did they ask you today? How many people went there? Tell me in detail from beginning to end."

“Three people went, but one of them got a phone call at around 12 o’clock and left early.

The person who left early did not show his work ID and I don’t know his name, but he was very young. The office director called him Section Chief Li.

The last two people left were the chief of the investigation department and the interrogator of the pre-trial department.

The question they asked today was..."

Chief Li? Very young?

Zhao Laosan already knew who it was, but he didn't know that Li Yancheng had the method to make anyone tell the truth.

If he knew, he wouldn't be in the mood to sit here and listen to questions.

The first thing that came to his mind was definitely how to get rid of this cheap nephew so as to avoid implicating himself.

Having worked in the Third Department for twenty years, although he never took the initiative to ask about anything, he was able to judge many problems by listening to what the investigators occasionally said over time.

"It seems that the cause of Sui Donghe's death has been found out."

After listening to Liang Qiutao's story, Zhao Laosan lit a cigarette for himself, frowned, thought for a while, and then said.

"If nothing unexpected happens, someone from Li Zhengxi's side should go to look for him today.

Let me put it this way, those of you in Beijing who have had contact with Sui Donghe after he returned will be the focus of investigation in the future."

"Then what should I do next? You talk to me like this every day, and I'm scared. What if I say something wrong? I..."

Liang Qiutao was indeed scared. He looked extremely anxious and even his voice was trembling a little.

Zhao Laosan took a deep breath and glanced at his cheap nephew with disdain.

I thought hatefully in my heart: Damn, you are scared now. Yesterday when you killed my people, I saw you acting so calmly.

No matter how much you hate or curse, you still have to come up with the ideas that need to be put forward.

Zhao Laosan doesn't want this guy to be exposed and implicate himself. He hasn't lived enough.

He had already made up his mind and decided to come up with a foolproof plan to get rid of this guy as soon as possible.

To avenge his godson and also to avoid being dragged down.

After lurking for so many years, he has developed his own set of survival rules.

Being cautious is one thing, but not letting anyone know who you are is actually the most important thing.

But what he didn't expect was that the identity he had tried to hide for many years was accidentally discovered by his cheap nephew Xiao Wu.

The reason why Liang Qiutao is always said to be his adopted nephew is because this guy is not his sister and brother-in-law's child at all. He was adopted, but almost few people know about it.

His sister was pregnant at the time and was due to give birth in two months, but accidentally she had a premature birth.

The child was born at the hospital, but did not survive.

As luck would have it, a woman in the same ward who had given birth two days earlier, for some unknown reason, abandoned her son and ran away. At that time, Zhao Laosan's sister and brother-in-law decided to take the child home.

The neighbors all thought that the child they brought home was the one they were pregnant with.

Things were actually developing normally until Liang Qiutao went abroad to study.

Zhao Laosan himself has been living a half-human life these years, but he has never thought of turning his nephew into a half-human life as well.

But man proposes, God disposes. Who would have thought that this bastard would be bribed after studying abroad for three years.

The nephew and uncle do not serve the same organization.

He had no idea who Liang Qiutao was serving.

Anyway, no matter what, he has been dragged onto this broken boat by his nephew.

In order to prevent these ignorant guys from being exposed, he could only follow behind and clean up the mess for them, which made him exhausted.

Today he heard that the case seemed to be moving in a similar direction, and he made up his mind that his nephew and Li Zhengxi must die. He didn't want to go down with this broken ship.

But the most urgent task is to find a way to help them temporarily overcome the current difficulties. He still needs time.

Zhao Laosan told Liang Qiutao some things that he needed to pay attention to next, and kept comforting him, telling him not to be nervous.

It is only in the investigation stage now. Without sufficient evidence, even the Social Affairs Bureau will not arrest people at will.

"Uncle, what questions do you think the next people will ask me if they come to ask me questions again?"

"Does it matter what question you ask? Apart from the shameful secret between you two, just tell the truth about everything else."

Just when he said this, Zhao Laosan suddenly realized something. After being stunned for a moment, he turned his head and looked at Liang Qiutao beside him.

"You haven't prepared in advance for all the questions I told you about before, have you?"

"Yes, I did make some preparations." Liang Qiutao nodded.

Looking at this silly cheap nephew, Zhao Laosan had only one thought in his mind at this moment, and that was to get rid of him, no matter what, and as soon as possible.

He didn't expect that someone could be so stupid.

Whether the answers to those questions are prepared or not, the experienced investigators can tell when you answer.

What's more, the person who questioned him was the chief of an investigation department.

Zhao Laosan dared to conclude that if people went over to ask questions this morning just as a normal procedure, then Liang Qiutao had definitely entered their sight by now.

He might even be listed as the number one suspect.

How to do?
For a moment he was a little confused.

Although he had already made plans in his mind, he said this.

"You'd better not prepare in advance. If someone asks you questions next time, just be careful not to say anything you shouldn't say. In other cases, just cooperate well."

"Okay, I understand." Liang Qiutao nodded.

"Uncle, do you think this means that the first department has begun to doubt me?"

“No, no, no, this is the normal process of handling the case, and there is no question of suspicion at this point.

But you must not dare to be smart and prepare anything in advance, you must be natural, natural, understand?" "Okay, I understand!"

……

How to do?
Looking at Liang Qiutao's departing back, Zhao Laosan fell into deep thought.

To kill him, Li Zhengxi must be killed as well.

If you kill one and keep the other, no matter if it is from one place or their place, they will definitely protect the other one immediately.

By then he would be dead.

But the two people are so far apart, what can he do to kill both of them?
He has no one to help him when Xiao Wu is gone.

As he thought about it, he narrowed his eyes and decided to go all out for his own safety.

Zhao Laosan clenched his fists hard.

He thought of a way, although it was a bit risky, but he really had no other choice.

He threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, stomped it out, then turned and walked towards the gate of the third place.

……

It was a little after three in the morning of June 21st, and the whole earth was quiet.

Fires broke out simultaneously in the four districts of Dianhai, Chengxi, Wuxuan and Wenchong, all in large courtyards in the alleys.

The houses in these slums are all made of wood, making fires extremely difficult to extinguish. In addition, the alleys and corridors are filled with all kinds of debris, which makes firefighting work very difficult.

The fire was not completely extinguished until around seven in the morning.

The fires that broke out simultaneously in four locations burned an area of ​​several thousand square meters in each place, causing heavy losses.

Of course, people in the area had heard about such a big fire, but they were too busy to think about it now.

At 9:30 in the morning, the director and deputy director of the First Division reported the specific situation of the case of the key project team of the instrument factory to the leaders of the bureau and the headquarters in the front yard conference room.

Li Yancheng and several other middle-level managers from the First Division discussed the next direction of investigation into Sun Mingbo, Li Zhengxi and Liang Qiutao in his office in the Intermediate Court.

No one mentioned what happened yesterday, as if nothing had happened. Only the nine unconscious guys in the underground detention room reminded the guards that something was wrong.

The deputy director of the Third Bureau was taken back by people from the Third Bureau after questioning yesterday afternoon.

The Social Affairs Bureau’s thundering blow yesterday sounded the alarm for many people.

If you want to make trouble, do it slowly outside and don't mess with us. If you want to drag us into it, we don't mind showing our fangs.

"Yancheng, there is no problem with the investigation, but what exactly are we investigating now? According to the report from the Third Office, Sui Donghe was definitely murdered, but the problem is... murder is a criminal case, so it should be handled by the public security department, right?

Are we investigating who killed Sui Donghe, or what else are we investigating?
Sui Donghe has problems, that's for sure, but it's a bit unreasonable to say that he was bribed by an organization when he was studying abroad based on this alone.

Also, I learned about the situation at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research yesterday. Although Li Zhengxi is the laboratory director of the project he is currently involved in, he has no access to the core research projects of the project team.

The laboratory for that project is not here at all, but is located elsewhere, and the tests done here are just scraps.

Even if Li Zhengxi was bribed, he could not participate in the actual project at all. Even if he wanted to steal project information, he could not do it.

I personally feel that investigating him will not yield any results at the moment, unless you bring him back now and interrogate him.

As for Liang Qiutao, he works in the Project Approval Office, a low-power position, but he has no access to core project information. The most he can do is understand the progress of each project.

There is also Sun Mingbo, needless to say. He is the project leader. If you say that he was bribed to steal project information, I think he should have just given it to others. There was no need to steal it.

After all, whether the project he is responsible for can succeed or not is up to him.”

At this point, Team One Captain Zeng Honglin spread his hands and said, "So what exactly are we going to investigate?"

"Investigating Liang Qiutao is mainly to investigate him and see..."

"Jingle Bell……"

Just as he said this, the outside phone on the desk rang. Li Yancheng could only swallow his unfinished words and reached out to answer the phone.

"Hello, I'm Li Yancheng."

"Hello, Chief Li. I am Lu Zhenqing, Director of the Science and Technology Commission Office."

"Hello, Director Lu! What can I do for you?"

A question mark appeared on Li Yancheng's forehead. He couldn't understand why Director Lu called him.

What he heard on the phone afterwards shocked him so much that he stood up immediately.

"Chief Li, I'm calling to inform you of something. Haven't you been talking to Xiao Liang and Liang Qiutao from our project approval office these past two days?"

"Yes, something happened to a classmate he went abroad with. They had always had a good relationship. We sought out Comrade Liang Qiutao mainly to learn about his classmate's situation."

When Li Yancheng mentioned Liang Qiutao's name, Zeng Honglin and the others focused their attention here.

"Well, I know what Chief Li is talking about. I've seen the letter of introduction. The main thing I want to say is that Comrade Liang Qiutao, whom you are talking to, died this morning."

"Director Lu, what did you say?"

Swish!
Li Yancheng stood up immediately, his eyes wide open, a look of disbelief on his face.

"Chief Li, a fire broke out in the alley where Comrade Liang Qiutao lived early this morning. He rescued his wife and children from the house, but he himself was hit on the head by a falling beam. He was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, but unfortunately he could not be saved."

"Director Lu, what's going on with the fire over there?"

Li Yancheng immediately thought of arson.

"I don't know the specific situation. Our unit just received a notice from the Dianhai District Public Security Bureau. I wonder if there are other problems here, so I called to inform you. If you want to know the specific situation of the fire, you have to ask the public security department."

"Huh... OK, I got it. Thank you, Director Lu. Sorry for bothering you."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. I'll hang up first, Chief Li."

"it is good"

Seeing Li Yancheng hanging up the phone in a daze, Tian Linjun asked anxiously: "Yancheng, what happened? What happened to the fire?"

"Everyone, Liang Qiutao is dead. The fire in Dianhai Lake happened near his home. The person who called just now was Director Lu from the Science and Technology Commission Office.

He said that Liang Qiutao rescued his wife and children from the house, but he himself was hit on the head by a falling beam and died in the hospital.

"This...isn't this too coincidental?"

"Wait a minute... Dianhai fire? I remember there seemed to be a fire in the west of the city. It can't be... Let me call and ask."

Zeng Honglin immediately realized that something was wrong, so he stood up, picked up the phone on the table and dialed.
