Rebirth: 1977

After much hesitation, Si Kongkong directly contacted Li Guanghui, the director of the Yangcheng Public Security Bureau.

He considered a lot. Xia Minglei held a high position and had great power. His age and experience were there, and his achievements in the construction and development of Pengcheng New City were obvious to all.

As long as he does not violate the law or make serious mistakes, the negative information from the outside world, including his family, will not have a big impact on him.

Xia Yingying is a married daughter. Even if she committed a crime, it has little to do with Xia Minglei.

At most, a sentence like "he failed to teach his daughter well" will affect his reputation a little, but it will not have a big impact on his career.

In a word, as long as Xia Minglei himself did not commit the crime, he could get away with it.

But Xia Zijian is different. No matter how their relationship is, as long as their marriage lasts, if anything happens to Xia Yingying, he will be implicated.

Career and reputation.

With Ye Tianshui around, Si Kong Kong doesn't have to worry about Xia Zijian's career, but his reputation will definitely be damaged. At this time, a couple will prosper together and suffer together.

There is no way to escape responsibility.

Sikong Kong didn't know the situation Xia Yingying was facing at the moment, but the fact that Sikong Kong wanted to investigate her through the Yangcheng Public Security Bureau was enough to make people think about it.

He had worked with Xia Zijian for several years and knew that this deputy director, who was younger than him, although of noble birth, had no ambitions. He actively cooperated with him at work and had never used his status to embarrass him in front of him.

The two of them have become more and more in sync with each other at work, and the relationship between him and Xia Zijian is no longer as simple as partners and the principal and deputy.

Therefore, he could not be careless about the selection of people to investigate Xia Yingying.

He and Li Guanghui had already had some interactions at work, and the key point was that Li Guanghui could be considered Ye Tianshui's man.

Besides the fact that he was originally Yunzhe's subordinate, he not only attended the 100-day banquet of Ye Tianshui's youngest son, but also announced that he was going to marry Li Lanping.

Who is Li Lanping?

One of Ye Tianshui's most capable subordinates in the business world, he is also a shareholder of Yangcheng Industrial Park.

With such a relationship involved, it would be most appropriate to let Li Guanghui investigate.

Even if he didn't go in person, he would definitely send his trusted confidant.

Sikong Kong didn't want to stain Xia Zijian's life resume.

Fortunately, Si Kong Kong's caution prevented Xia Zijian from almost leaving Pengcheng in a hurry again.

When Li Guanghui learned the whole story on the phone and knew that Xia Yingying was the wife of Ye Tianshui's brother-in-law, he thought that this was his chance to establish a good relationship with Ye Tianshui, so he agreed to Si Kongkong's request without any hesitation.

There are only two or three hotels in Guangzhou that the second generation can stay in. It has become a normal practice for the police to check hotels in recent years.

Because there is a small commodity market in Guangzhou, the population flow is particularly large and the people are mixed.

In 1984, the aftereffects of the severe crackdown were still there. As a coastal city, Guangzhou saw a continuous influx of overseas goods due to reform and opening up.

But the restrictions are very large and the tariffs are very heavy, so smuggling crimes are very rampant.

Li Guanghui didn't even need a reason to investigate the hotel.

He just took a driver and went there in person.

Sikong Kong waited until twelve o'clock but there was still no news from Li Guanghui. He took a shower and thought that Xi Jun must still be waiting for his news, so he immediately called him.

Sure enough, Xi Jun answered immediately: "Hello."

"Secretary Xi, it's me. There's no news from Yangcheng yet. Go to sleep. There's no need to wait any longer. Even if we find the person tonight, he won't be able to come back.

After I receive the news, I will see the situation and either go to pick him up in person. If it is convenient in Yangcheng, we can also discuss having them send him back.

I will tell you as soon as possible."

Xi Jun thought about it and it made sense. It was the middle of the night and no one was missing or kidnapped, so there was no need to get so nervous.

If you want to pick her up, you have to wait until tomorrow: "Okay, you should rest too. I'll be at home before 7:30 tomorrow. If it's later, I'll go to work.

It's up to you to decide which phone call to make based on the time."

Si Kong Kong hung up the phone and returned to his room. Just as he was about to lie down on the bed, the phone in the study rang "ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling".

In the dead of night at midnight, this sound is particularly frightening.

He sat up from the bed, put on his slippers and ran out, grabbing the microphone:

"Hello······"

"Director, it's me. I found the person..."

Li Guanghui's tone was low and cold.

He is different from Sikong Kong. Sikong Kong went to work at the Public Security Bureau after graduating from school and was promoted step by step.

He is a veteran soldier who has experienced the baptism of battle on the battlefield and has transferred from a cadre to the public security system.

Deep down, Li Guanghui is still a tough soldier.

That tone suddenly gave Si Kong Kong a bad feeling. He didn't beat around the bush, "Great! I'm glad you found it. Thank you, Director Li.

Tell her to wait at the entrance of her hotel at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, and I will pick her up in person."

Unless the other party offered to send someone, Sikong Kong had already troubled them to find someone, so he definitely couldn't bring himself to ask.

Li Guanghui remained silent and did not speak immediately. Heavy breathing could be heard through the microphone.

Sikong Kong's bad feeling became even stronger, and he couldn't help but hold his breath, waiting for the person on the other end of the phone to speak.

"Director Si, this matter is very complicated. It is not convenient to talk about it over the phone. I will drive to you right away and tell you in detail when we meet."

Si Kong Kong's heart was suddenly in suspense. What was going on? Why did Li Guanghui need to drive to see him overnight?

It takes about three hours to travel from Yangcheng to Pengcheng, and it is now 12:30 am.

"Director Li, can't you wait until dawn? Why don't you get some sleep for a few hours? It won't delay things, right?"

Si Kong Kong said tentatively.

Li Guanghui replied in a dull voice:

"I can't wait. I can't fall asleep even if I go back to sleep. I have to see you right away!"

At this point, Si Kong Kong knew what happened to Xia Yingying: "Okay, Director Li, drive carefully on the road, I'll wait for you at home.

Do you remember the place? "

During Ye Chen's hundred-day banquet, Li Guanghui went to visit him and Xia Zijian's home, which was on the same floor and very close to each other - right next door.

"I know. It will be more convenient to talk at your house."

Si Kong Kong held the microphone in his hand, listening to the busy tone of "beep, beep, beep", and felt equally confused.

Isn't it just to find the daughter of Leader Xia? She went to Yangcheng to meet some friends from Beijing.

Why did he make the director of the Yangcheng Public Security Bureau drive over to have a talk with him in the middle of the night?

Could it be... Sikong Kong was terrified. Could it be that something happened to Xia Yingying?

And it’s a big deal!

He was no longer calm. He couldn't guess what Li Guanghui came to talk about, and he didn't dare to guess.

But since Xi Jun entrusted him with this matter, no matter what Li Guanghui comes to discuss, Xi Jun must be present!

Thinking of this, Sikong Kong called Xi Jun without hesitation, without caring whether the other party had already gone to bed.

How could he sleep well when Li Guanghui was going to drive over overnight? Then they would all forget about sleeping tonight!

The phone rang once but no one answered. He continued to dial, thinking to himself, maybe Xi Jun listened to his advice and went to sleep?

If I had known earlier I wouldn't have said that.

Finally the call was connected. Xi Jun's voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was brisk:

"Hello, is this Director Si? Xia... Um, is there any news about her?"
