Chapter 1697 go and return
In the evening, Zheng Dehai invites a meal here at a farm stay in the suburbs of the county.
There were frequent laughter in the private room near the lake. Zheng Dehai was in high spirits tonight and repeatedly raised his glasses to toast Shangke. In addition to Shangke, there were Feng Zhanming and Zhao Hongjin, director of the county government office. Now they were like monks forming the closest small circle.
Although Zheng Dehai didn't say anything at night, Feng Zhanming was relieved to see Zheng Dehai so happy that he could roughly guess what was going on. Shangke helped Zheng Dehai to deal with the people from the city, and everyone would be happy. Otherwise, if the girl named He Xiaomei had a matter of the incident, he might even be implicated.
At this time, Zheng Dehai smiled and raised his glass to Feng Zhanming: "Old Feng, I will also give you a cup."
"We have just drunk it." Feng Zhanming smiled. He started to drink less recently. A while ago, he had an alcoholic liver. The doctor told him not to drink anymore. However, Feng Zhanming was in the system and could not stop socializing, so he could only try to control his alcohol consumption.
"I just drank it, but I'm going to pay my respects to you." Zheng Dehai blinked and smiled.
"Okay, then drink it, but my amount has arrived tonight. Don't feed me later." Feng Zhanming smiled.
"County Magistrate Feng, this is not like your style. I remember you used to be a huge number of them." Zhao Hongjin said intriguingly.
"Don't mention it. If you drink like before, you will have to drink your life. The doctor has given me a ban on alcohol." Feng Zhanming said as he picked up his glass and touched Zheng Dehai, and took a sip after a brief taste.
The atmosphere was very lively when the few people were drinking and chatting, but no one noticed that Shangke was actually not very interested, but instead looked a little overwhelmed.
The group of people finished drinking and it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and then they all dispersed.
Zheng Dehai did not go home, but came to Li Yijia's residence. Li Yijia's mental state was much better now. Seeing Zheng Dehai coming, he immediately greeted him diligently, took the initiative to come up and hugged Zheng Dehai's arm, and said coquettishly: "Where are you drinking so much wine on, and you won't come here early."
"I invited County Mayor Shang to dinner. I have helped a lot this time. Do you think I should express my gratitude?" Zheng Dehai said.
"Brother Zheng, there should be nothing wrong in the future, right?" Li Yijia also had a smile on her face.
"No, County Magistrate Shang has come forward to get what else can I do." Zheng Dehai smiled. After drinking a lot of alcohol at night, he was in high spirits. He hugged Li Yijia and sat on his lap and smiled wickedly, "Xiaojia, the night is long, do you think we should do something?"
"Death look." Li Yijia stretched out his finger and pointed at Zheng Dehai's forehead, with a charming look on his face...
He was speechless all night. The next day, Zheng Dehai got up from Li Yijia and went straight to work in the county compound.
At about 10 o'clock in the morning, Zheng Dehai received a call from Li Yijia. On the phone, Li Yijia's voice was full of panic: "Brother Zheng, it's not good, the people in the city are coming again."
"What?" Zheng Dehai was stunned for a moment, "You are not wrong."
"Brother Zheng, why are you making a mistake? I have seen it with my own eyes. They are looking for me now. I am hiding in the women's bathroom." Li Yijia said in a panic.
"Xiaojia, don't panic first. They look for you, just go see me. No matter what they ask, you can say whatever you should say, and you can't explain clearly what you shouldn't say. As I said before, you can't mess up yourself first." Zheng Dehai said in a deep voice. He was actually in a mess and his head was a little confused. Why are the people in the city coming again?
After appeased Li Yijia, Zheng Dehai hung up the phone and immediately came to Shangke's office.
Shangke didn't know what happened yet, but when he saw Zheng Dehai coming, he asked, "Old Zheng, what's the matter?"
"County Magistrate Shang, something is wrong, and the people in the city are coming down again." Zheng Dehai was a little anxious.
"The people in the city are coming down again?" Shang Ke was stunned, his expression was shocked.
As if he realized that his reaction was wrong, Shang Ke quickly sniffed: "Old Zheng, this is not right. I called Secretary Teng last night, and you also saw it. How could the people in the city come back?"
"That's right, I think something is wrong." Zheng Dehai was a little panicked and looked at Shang Ke with help, "County Magistrate Shang, why don't you call Secretary Teng again?"
"Okay, I'll call to find out the situation." Shang Ke nodded.
Shangke picked up his cell phone and called Tengda. The two of them talked for a while. After figuring out the situation, Shangke hung up the phone and turned to look at Zheng Dehai: "Old Zheng, Mayor Xiao interfered in this matter. Even Secretary Teng felt puzzled. I don't know why Mayor Xiao had argued with him in this matter. In the past, Mayor Xiao was very low-key. Now Mayor Xiao suddenly became abnormal, and Secretary Teng was a little confused."
"How could this happen?" Zheng Dehai looked dull and murmured in a low voice. He could not have thought that Mayor Xiao would intervene in this matter.
Shang Ke didn't say anything at this moment, and looked at Zheng Dehai quietly. From what Tengda said just now, Tengda obviously did not intend to continue intervening. He could understand Tengda's idea. For an irrelevant thing, Tengda had no reason to argue with Xiao Shun. This was completely unprofitable in Tengda's opinion, because the matter was completely incompatible with Tengda. Is it worth it to make a comeback for such a thing? It's not worth it at all! Standing in Tengda's position, he also has interests to consider.
"County Magistrate Shang, what should I do now?" Zheng Dehai came to his senses and looked at Shangke nervously. Whether he could pass this level now depends on Shangke's help.
"Old Zheng, I told you yesterday that it is impossible to solve the fundamental problem by just dealing with the people in the city. Look, things have come true now." Shang Ke laughed.
"County Magistrate Shang, what do you think you should do?" Zheng Dehai was a little confused for a moment.
Shang Ke shook his head and didn't say anything. He made some obscure suggestions to Zheng Dehai yesterday, and he didn't know if Zheng Dehai had understood it.
After thinking for a while, Shang Ke took out his cell phone and dialed a number in front of Zheng Dehai.
After the phone was connected, Shang Ke said a few words to the other party, and then hung up the phone.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the other party called. Shang Ke answered it and listened to a few words. His eyes lit up. He turned on the phone with hands-free, put it on the table, and then asked repeatedly: "Xiao Qian, do you mean that the night before yesterday, Secretary Ding and Deputy County Magistrate Qiao went to the city government to find Mayor Xiao, right?"
"Yes, many people who worked overtime at night saw it. Mayor Xiao also invited them to have overtime meals in the office." The person on the other end of the phone replied.
"Okay, I understand, please trouble you. I'll go to the city to treat you to dinner." Shang Ke said laughingly.
"Brother Shang, please be polite." The person on the other end of the phone said in a somewhat flattering manner.
"Okay, let's do it first." Shang Ke hung up the phone and looked at Zheng Dehai, "Old Zheng, you heard it, you really guessed it. This matter was probably caused by Deputy County Magistrate Qiao, and he also directly went to Mayor Xiao. The city they went to the night before, and the people in the city came down yesterday morning."
"That's right, it's just him who did it. I just said he stabbed it in." Zheng Dehai said gritting his teeth.
"So, to solve the problem, you have to start from the root." Shang Ke said slowly.
"County Magistrate Shang, how can you start from the root?" Zheng Dehai asked subconsciously without thinking deeply.
"It depends on you to think about it yourself, but I don't know what to do." Shang Ke smacked his lips and glanced at Zheng Dehai. I don't know if this guy was pretending to be stupid or really didn't understand it.
Hearing Shang Ke's slightly dissatisfied tone, Zheng Dehai was stunned for a moment, looked at Shang Ke with thoughtfulness, and carefully recalling Shang Ke's words yesterday and today, Zheng Dehai's heart couldn't help but thump: "County Magistrate Shang, do you mean to solve the problem from the root?"
"Otherwise? Look, I have greeted you and the city, but it's useless." Shang Ke stared at Zheng Dehai, "Old Zheng, I will definitely help you if you can help you, but some things need to be solved by yourself."
"County Magistrate Shang, I... I'll go back and think about it." Zheng Dehai's heart was in a daze. He felt that he might have guessed Shang Ke's thoughts, but he could not ask him out in detail, because Shang Ke could not give him a positive answer.
He hurriedly said goodbye from Shangke, and Zheng Dehai returned to his office, feeling in a mess. He took out a cigarette and lit it. He sucked a sip of smoke into his lungs. Zheng Dehai felt much more comfortable and his head became much clearer, but the more he thought about it, the more he became more scared. Is Shangke really hinting that he did that? If that is true, it would be too cruel.
Before he knew it, he finished smoking a cigarette until the cigarette butt was a little hot, and Zheng Dehai suddenly realized it and quickly put it out.
At this time, the phone rang. Seeing that it was Li Yijia calling, Zheng Dehai quickly picked it up and couldn't wait to ask: "Xiaojia, how is the situation?"
"The people in the city just asked me some questions. I answered everything I should have answered. I was perfunctory about what I shouldn't say. They didn't make things difficult for me. They just told me not to leave Liangbei recently, and they might ask me to ask me about it." Li Yijia said tremblingly, and the more he spoke, the more scared he became, "Brother Zheng, if I continue like this, I will not be able to stand it anymore, something will definitely happen."
"You calm down first and don't always get into trouble. Are you doing well now?" Zheng Dehai said irritably, "They didn't make things difficult for you, which means they haven't obtained any evidence yet."
"But if this continues, they will sooner or later find out. The county town is just such a big place. What's not easy for them to check?" Li Yijia growled. Since He Xiaomei jumped off the building and committed suicide, her nerves have been tense and her spirit is in a state of high pressure. Now that people in the city have almost become the last straw that crushes her nerves. Li Yijia can't bear such mental pressure at all. After all, she is just a girl in her twenties. She has not experienced too many setbacks after graduating from school for a few years and has a very average ability to withstand stress.
"Okay, I will find a way. Don't be nervous all the time." Zheng Dehai said impatiently, "Also, don't run to me for the time being. If you want to call me, change your phone. Don't use your current one."
