Zhao Hanlin is the secretary of the provincial government and also served as Gao Wuren's secretary. If Xie Xuan wants to touch him, he really has to go through the procedures.
Even more stringent than ordinary procedures.
After all, Zhao Hanlin's status is extraordinary.
If the Secret Service investigates Zhao Hanlin, there may be rumors that Li Junshi wants to retaliate against Gao Wuren.
In fact, Xie Xuan's investigation of Xiao Jinbao was indeed a liquidation of Gao Wuren, but he could not be singled out.
Xie Xuan first went to the provincial government, found Zhao Hanlin, and asked him in his office.
Xie Xuan asked: "Secretary Zhao, do you know Xiao Jinbao?"
Zhao Hanlin was stunned for a moment, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, his body shrank back subconsciously, and he said softly: "We know him."
Xie Xuan asked again: "Is it just acquaintance?"
"certainly."
Xie Xuan asked: "Did you go to the dock to pick up the drugs for little Jinbao?"
Zhao Hanlin shook his head: "Drugs? I was at the dock and I did help him pick up the goods, but I thought it was sugar."
As soon as he heard little Jinbao's name, he knew what was going on.
Zhao Hanlin was able to work as Gao Wuren's secretary, so he was naturally very keen. He immediately knew the key point: something happened to little Jinbao.
If Gao Wuren was in Jiangsu, no one would dare to touch little Jinbao.
But now that Gao Wuren's rival Li Junshi is the governor, it is reasonable for Xiao Jinbao to be investigated.
"Then have you ever received money from Xiao Jinbao?"
"He just gave the brothers a little hard money."
Xie Xuan said: "In this way, you can write a detailed report on how you received the goods from Xiao Jinbao and collected the money. You are the first contributor to the provincial government, can you give it to me tomorrow?"
Zhao Hanlin avoids the important and ignores the important when speaking. Only black and white words can make him speechless.
Zhao Hanlin said: "I'll give it to you the day after tomorrow. Some things have been going on for a long time. I'm afraid I'll remember them wrong. I have to recall them carefully."
Xie Xuan said meaningfully: "I can give you one more day, but I want to remind you that this matter involves a wide range of things. Don't try to hide it for others. Have you ever heard of abandoning a pawn to protect a car? Don't be used as a pawn for others. I don’t know yet.”
Zhao Hanlin wanted an extra day, so he must have wanted to contact Gao Wuren.
However, Gao Wuren could not protect himself, so how could he be protected? If Zhao Hanlin doesn't cooperate, the only outcome will be to be abandoned.
"Thank you for reminding."
Zhao Hanlin naturally heard the meaning of Xie Xuan's words, but he didn't take it to heart.
After all, this is a human society. Although Gao Wuren has left Jiangsu, he is still the governor of Anhui. As long as he speaks for himself above, will the Secret Service dare to investigate?
Zhao Hanlin knew very well how important he was to Gao Wuren.
Once he opens his mouth, Gao Wuren, the governor of Anhui Province, will not only be unable to keep his position, but he may also be imprisoned.
Gao Wuren must save himself, there is no doubt about it.
However, Zhao Hanlin forgot that there is a simpler way: kill and silence.
After all, only the dead can keep secrets.
Xie Xuan then reported to Li Junshi, and he also told Li Junshi his thoughts.
Xie Xuan said: "Zhao Hanlin's life and death will be decided by Gao Wuren. I estimate that Gao Wuren will not let him go. We just need to handle the case normally, or leak some information to the Japanese so that they are also interested in the case. I guess Gao Wuren It will be more urgent.”
Li Junshi nodded: "What you said makes sense, let's follow this idea."
When he reaches his status, it is not appropriate to openly break up with others. Besides, he is also the head of the secret service, so it is easy for people to think that he has done something in it.
Sure enough, Zhao Hanlin died the next night. He died at home and committed suicide by taking poison.
After the Japanese learned the news, they went to Zhao Hanlin's house to see the scene in person, and also wanted to interrogate Xiao Jinbao.
Fortunately, little Jinbao has been secretly transferred to the Shenpu Secret Service.
The Japanese turned to the provincial government to investigate the cause of Zhao Hanlin's death.
Li Junshi and Xie Xuan welcomed this.
After all, Zhao Hanlin's death had nothing to do with them. Only the real murderer behind it would be very panicked.
"Governor, I heard that Gao Wuren was so anxious that he wanted to commit suicide."
Xie Xuan went to Li Junshi's office and talked about the gossip.
The Japanese were just serious and wanted to find out the truth about Zhao Hanlin, but they didn't expect that they would play into their own hands.
A smile appeared on Li Junshi's face: "Oh, if Gao Wuren had the courage, he would have committed suicide long ago."
Xie Xuan smiled and said: "I gave the file on the Little Jinbao case to Captain Imamura of the Military Police. If he wants to investigate, let him do it. Little Jinbao can't be found, and Zhao Hanlin is dead. The Japanese can’t find any clues. However, Gao Wuren will probably be unable to sleep all night.”
Li Junshi said: "Someone gave me a greeting and asked him to keep his integrity. After all, Gao Wuren has given up the position of provincial governor, and his people cannot make any big waves. Xie Xuan, thank you very much this time. Henglin The Japanese are also investigating the rice robbing incident in the town. What do you think is the best way to close the case?"
Politics is often about constant compromise.
Xie Xuan pondered: "Our Qingxiang work has come to an end. If this matter is characterized as the work of the CCP or the Kuomintang, it will inevitably affect the results of Qingxiang. Even if we agree, the Japanese Kobayashi Division responsible for the defense of Jiangnan will not I won't agree. They can't bear such responsibility. If Xiao Lin is not responsible, and we are not responsible, then it can only be that the officials of the previous Gao Wuren government were too corrupt, forcing the people to rebel. This is called official forcing the people. Change."
Li Junshi nodded: "It's just a good opportunity to deal with a group of original officials again."
Xie Xuan thought carefully. The Japanese value face very seriously, and Xiao Lin could not agree. The anti-Japanese forces had penetrated into that area.
Xie Xuan took out a brocade box, put it in front of Li Junshi, and said with a smile: "The little gold treasure was given by Hua Jingbian, the governor of Wujin County. He asked me to bring a gift to the governor. From now on, Wujin County will belong to the governor." County, he will also follow the lead of the provincial governor."
Since he had received money from Hua Jingbian, he naturally had to do something for him.
For Li Junshi, it was impossible for him to install his cronies in all the counties below.
If Hua Jingbian could sincerely switch sides, he would also welcome it.
With the incident of Little Jinbao, it is impossible for Hua Jingbian to return to Gao Wuren, so Li Junshi can use it with confidence.
Li Junshi glanced at the brocade box and said: "Henglin Town is under the jurisdiction of Wujin County and other officials should be dealt with. There is no reason not to deal with Huajingbian."
He knew what was inside was valuable and he really wanted it. However, after taking the things, it was difficult to deal with Hua Jingbian, which was a dilemma.
Xie Xuan smiled and said: "This matter is easy to handle. Just remove Hua Jingbian from his post first, and then transfer him to other places."
"This is a good method. It not only deals with Hua Jingbian, leaving people speechless, but also appeases Hua Jingbian."
