Xu Lang smiled, as if talking to himself: "To be honest, when Feng Gaoqiang and the police rushed in, if you didn't throw yourself into Feng Gaoqiang's arms and call your husband with a face full of grievances, but huddled under the quilt If you cry sadly, then your performance is perfect.
"It's a pity that although you are smart, you thought that I, Xu Lang, was dead, so you showed off your affection in front of everyone without any scruples. There is a famous saying in Dream of Red Mansions, the agencies are too clever, and they end up taking Qing Qing's life, hehe."
Cao Li still wanted to save something: "Xu Lang, what I said is true. In fact, my relationship with Feng Gaoqiang is very bad. I wanted to divorce a long time ago, but he just refused. His uncle also persuaded me, This time...this time..."
"It's hard to find a reason, isn't it?" Xu Lang said with a smile: "No need to look hard. No matter what reason you find, it has changed the situation of going to jail. You can take care of yourself. I'll leave first."
Looking at the back of Xu Lang walking out, Cao Li's eyes suddenly welled up with tears, but her eyes were full of anger and unwillingness.
Xiao Hongyan seemed to be waiting for Xu Lang outside. When she saw him coming out, she smiled and said, "The conversation is over so soon?"
Xu Lang said: "I mainly wanted to ask her what she thought, but I didn't expect...forget it, let's not talk about it."
Xiao Hongyan asked: "Okay, let's go, I'll take you back."
Xu Lang got into the police car and Xiao Hongyan drove out of the police station.
Xu Lang didn't take the initiative to speak, and turned to look at the night scene passing by outside the window.
Xiao Hongyan couldn't help but said: "Director Xu, how do you plan to handle this matter?"
Xu Lang turned back to look at her and said: "This matter has risen to a criminal nature and I cannot intervene, so my opinion is irrelevant."
Xiao Hongyan nodded and was silent for a while, then she suddenly sighed softly.
Xu Lang looked at her beautiful profile, thought for a while and said: "This incident happened when Han Tianming took Cao Li to have dinner with Secretary Xiao. Director Xiao, tell me...Does Secretary Xiao have any responsibility? "
"..."
Xiao Hongyan immediately turned to look at Xu Lang, pursed her lips and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xu Lang said coldly: "You, Director Xiao, are Secretary Xiao's daughter. At the dinner, your father held Cao Li and drank wine. As for whether the medicine Cao Li was given was in that glass of wine, I don't know, but this He is a participant in this matter, don’t you think you should recuse yourself from the investigation of this case?”
Xiao Hongyan was stunned: "How did you know?"
Xu Lang smiled: "Of course there is a way to know what I want to know."
After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and clicked on a video, then handed it to Xiao Hongyan.
This was secretly taken at Ninghai Villa. In the picture, it is Xiao Qun holding Cao Li and drinking wine.
Xiao Hongyan's ears turned red when she saw it. She returned the phone to Xu Lang, bit her lip and thought for a while, then suddenly pulled over and said to Xu Lang, "I'll make a call first."
"Okay." Xu Lang nodded with a smile.
Xiao Hongyan knew she couldn't hide it from this guy. After getting off the car, she took out her mobile phone and dialed her father's number.
After saying a few words, Xiao Hongyan opened the car door, bent down and looked at Xu Lang and said, "My dad wants to invite you to sit at home."
"Oh?" Xu Lang thought for a moment and said, "That's not appropriate. He is a suspect in this case."
Xiao Hongyan sat in and closed the car door, her face already a little nervous: "Director Xu, at this time, if you play the role of the winner and talk to my dad openly, it will only do you good and no harm."
Xu Lang nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."
"Thank you." Xiao Hongyan drove immediately.
Xiao Qun lived in the municipal party committee family area. When Xu Lang followed Xiao Hongyan through the door, Xiao Qun was standing in the living room waiting.
Although he greeted Xu Lang warmly, Xu Lang could see that his eyes often showed confusion that could not be concealed.
His wife Zhang Chunju poured tea and handed cigarettes, with a bright smile that stretched out her face.
After the pleasantries, Xiao Hongyan briefly told what happened. When Xiao Qun heard the last part, his smile disappeared and turned into a serious look.
"Xiao Xu, let's talk in the study room?"
Xu Lang smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Xiao Qun stood up and said to his daughter, "You come too."
Xiao Hongyan brought the tea for the two of them into the study, and Li Chunju went to bed first.
The guests and hosts sat down, and Xiao Qun said to Xu Lang: "Director Xu, you have been working beside the leader, so you should know the word "playing tricks". Han Tianming invited me to dinner tonight, and I couldn't refuse, so I had to go. Unexpectedly, He also took Xiao Cao with him. As for the episode that happened in the middle, it was just a joke, I think...you should understand. "
Xu Lang smiled and said nothing. Xiao Qun then changed the subject: "Let me tell you the news. Your boss, Secretary-General Zhou, applied for grassroots training last month. However, due to Chen Qinglong and Li Dengfeng's accidents, it has been delayed until now. .
"Mayor Qiu has just arrived, and he will not approve it before he is fully familiar with the work. Xiao Xu, you are a young man who dares to do what he wants. A few days ago, you risked your own life to save so many people. You are highly regarded by the municipal party committee, government and provincial leaders. praise.
"So, since Secretary-General Zhou must leave, I think you are the most suitable to take over the position he left. If you have no objection, I will find a time to mention it to Mayor Qiu in the next few days. What do you think? ?”
Old fox!
Xu Lang cursed in his heart. He first excused himself and put the responsibility on Han Tianming, and then promised Xu Lang the position of secretary-general. In this way, even if Xu Lang had complaints, they would quickly be replaced by surprise and gratitude. .
But Xu Lang knew very well that he, Xiao Qun, had no right to interfere with the government's appointments. If he really went to Qiu Mingyue to talk about it, he would be a fool.
Is it possible for a fool to become deputy secretary of the municipal party committee?
Since he is not a fool, he treats Xu Lang as a fool.
Xu Lang smiled faintly and glanced at Xiao Hongyan next to him. He saw this beautiful woman frowning and signaling her father to stop talking with her eyes.
Xiao Qun seemed to be aware of this problem, but he added: "You may not believe what I say, but I believe you will believe it one day, and that day will not be far away, haha."
Xu Lang asked with a smile: "I heard that Secretary Xiao is about to be promoted. Congratulations first."
"Haha." Xiao Qun confidently waved his hand and said, "There are countless rumors, but I didn't say anything."
Xu Lang wanted to tell him a little secret to shock him, but in the end he held back.
Before leaving the house, Xiao Qun whispered to his daughter.
After getting into Xiao Hongyan's police car again and driving out of the living area, Xiao Hongyan said: "I will report to the director tomorrow and then apply for recusal."
"Oh?" Xu Lang said, "I just said it casually."
