today's island

"There is a quiz with prizes." While Lu Yuanzhe was away, he even took Cheng Mo out. The members of the task force held an unknown number of reasoning sessions, and Wan Yi was the host for the first time. "This case is related to Mayor Cheng." what is the relationship?"

"Do you need to ask?" Su Xiaozhi was the first to speak, "The dismissal of the banquet was a major breakthrough in the city's crackdown on gangsters and evil 12 years ago. If they really want to take revenge, can they let the mayor go? It must be." Is there some grand plan to bring him down?"

"But it's suspicious that all these random people know Mayor Cheng." Ling Xi retorted, "They have all worked in the government and know Mayor Cheng, but they don't know each other. Is it such a coincidence?"

"It's not too coincidental." Wan Yi retorted, "Mayor Cheng's reputation in Daocheng is not bad, maybe he is also very popular with the government?"

"Do you know that besides drugs, Yanyan used to have a lot of gray business. They thought about laundering it." Ding Chenyu glanced at everyone, and interjected mysteriously, "You must have the help of the government if you want to launder it."

"It's too bold..." Wan Yi's eyes widened, and his voice was lowered, "You suspect...then what kind of collusion is it?"

"Who doubts this?" Ding Chenyu squinted at him, "I mean, Mayor Cheng has clues to provide if they may have exposed something when they contacted the government."

"Oh." Wan Yi lay back on the table again, making a false alarm.

"Mayor Cheng devoted himself to destroying the banquet back then, did he secretly collect clues? Maybe these victims are people who have helped this matter." Ding Chenyu glanced at everyone, "It's not that Mayor Cheng has done a lot. The strength, it can’t be that you have carried a gun.”

"It's possible..." Su Xiaozhi nodded, "My parents really like Mayor Cheng, and think he has done a good job in Daocheng in recent years."

Homophobic and old-fashioned or not, he owes much to Daocheng's ability to get on the right track so quickly.

"He really hasn't had any scandals in the past few years, so his connections may be okay, but his popularity is not very good." Ding Chenyu said here, and joked, "When you are pure, you have no friends."

Just as he was talking, his phone vibrated suddenly. He picked up the phone and went into the separated small room, and didn't come out for a long time.

"Are you answering the mysterious phone call during working hours?" Wan Yi looked around curiously.

"The phone number is his father." Ling Xi saw the caller ID, and ate dessert calmly, "How mysterious it can be."

"Isn't it mysterious enough?" Su Xiaozhi became interested, "What exactly does his family do, and why is it so rich?"

"Real estate and catering industry." Ling Xi replied casually, not thinking it was a secret at all.

"Captain Lu doesn't even know what his family does, how do you know?" Wan Yi asked vigilantly.

"Guess?" Ling Xi took out her long-lost female voice and asked nastyly.

This is a stunt, Wan Yi immediately shut up, goosebumps all over the ground.

After seeing Cheng Song, Lu Yuanzhe went to find Tang Wen alone, reported the relationship between the victims, and told Tang Wen by the way that they went to find Cheng Song.

Unsurprisingly, Tang Wen scolded him: "You dare to ask Mayor Cheng for such pretentious clues. It's a good thing he is willing to see you. I think he is trying to save face for his son, right?"

"Why, I think he is more polite to me than to his son." Lu Yuanzhe muttered.

"That's because his son turned to you with his elbow, isn't he happy to be a father?" Tang Wen came out sharply, "Can't you come to me first if you have anything to do?"

"Didn't I come here to look for you? When did you authorize the information on the banquet? Now I always prove that this new banquet is related to the old one?" He rubbed his hands and asked expectantly.

Don't talk about it, no matter how sincere his eyes are, it's useless, and he was kicked out by Tang Wen's Tai Chi.

Just as Cheng Song thought, Tang Wen also believed that this was revenge when the banquet was about to die, and it has not recovered to the scale it used to be.Since it is only a dying struggle, these confidential materials should be permanently sealed.

Lu Yuanzhe didn't get any bargain, so he just sighed and went back to the task force.After failing to advance the progress of the case for a week, everyone was a little tired before getting off work, and they turned their eyes to the snacks in unison.

"Did the two of you have anything to do with those people involved?" Lu Yuanzhe was the first to reach out, and while handing everyone potato chips, he asked Ding Chenyu and Wan Yi.

Feng Shurui, Gao Changjian, Hua Changhe, and Jiang Minglang all worked in the government. They belonged to different departments back then, and they didn't know each other at all from the outside.

"From a mathematical point of view, yes." Wan Yi raised his hand, "The first three people all resigned in the same year."

Although the time is different, but they all resigned before and after the banquet was taken away, only Jiang Minglang has been working until now.

"In terms of interpersonal relationship, no." Ding Chenyu replied, "I entrusted an acquaintance to ask for me, and these people really don't know each other. I must say that they have something in common, that is, there is nothing corrupt about them."

"The first two people can't get valid samples anymore, but Hua Changhe has never taken drugs, he only sells drugs." Ling Xi replied.

"Team Yang also tends not to be Hua Changhe who sold drugs to Director Jiang." Lu Yuanzhe added.He quietly entrusted Yang Fengqing of the anti-narcotics team to investigate, but found nothing.

As for Jiang Minglang's channel for buying drugs, they found an overseas virtual number, which was similar to the kidnapping call Lu Yuanzhe received, and contacted him about once a month or two.

"How do you screen the goals of the banquet? Can we take another step and start with the goals?" Lu Yuanzhe looked at everyone.

"Impossible. It is still possible for you to find someone you have contact with. How can you find someone you have no contact with? I hacked into the cell phones of the whole island city and found the person who saved the phone number of Mayor Cheng ten years ago?" Wan Wan Yi spread his hands.

"The more you think about it, the more you get clues. Let's try it." Lu Yuanzhe refused to give up, and pushed the whiteboard in front of everyone, speaking in a cadenced and flickering tone, "A mysterious 601 that seems to be the old residence of the young master, four people who once lived in The dead involved in the case who worked in various government departments and at completely different levels of officials, and several drug lines that were only sold in small circles, is there anything we haven't noticed?"

"I have a question." Cheng Mo raised his hand, "Does Team Zhou have that number in his phone?"

"Good question." Wan Yi snapped his fingers, buried his head in the computer for a while, and then looked up at everyone, "Okay, now there is one less thing in common, no."

"Hey..." Su Xiaozhi fell on the table, reasoning is not her strong point, "I am actually a beautiful policewoman who can fight, and I am more suitable for chasing criminals on the road. Ever since I joined the task force, I have been using my brain .”

"It's all high-tech now, you think it's a martial arts movie." Lu Yuanzhe glanced at her sideways, seeing that everyone looked tired, and put down the marker pen in his hand, "Forget it, let's go have a hot pot too. Let’s activate your brain in Qijing, my treat.”

"Then what if the old tricks of the banquet are repeated." Wan Yi looked at him, a little scared, "Another hot pot restaurant exploded, and we all got together."

"Do you know how many departments are working overtime for this explosion? They still want to come again?" Lu Yuanzhe shrugged, "Don't worry, they won't have time to prepare for this kind of surprise attack."

Speaking of this, Su Xiaozhi let out a long sigh: "I really like that chain hot pot restaurant. If it didn't taste so good, I wouldn't have to wait for a number and not make an appointment."

"Don't worry, the Lu team will take us there will not be too bad." Wan Yi comforted.

"By the way, I wanted to ask a few days ago." Su Xiaozhi remembered another thing, turned to look at Lu Yuanzhe, "I have a doubt."

"Tell me." Lu Yuanzhe didn't take it seriously.

"Director Jiang asked the whole family to have dinner. There are three people in total. Why did you ask for a big table? It's a waste of resources." Su Xiaozhi didn't take it seriously, but just wanted to complain, "We checked it out, he was the one who arranged the number by himself. Yes, it’s not faster than the ones in the middle table.”

Lu Yuanzhe, who was looking for a hot pot restaurant, suddenly looked at Su Xiaozhi, and Cheng Mo frowned in confusion, thinking about the seat in that hot pot restaurant.

"Yes..." Ling Xi also came back to his senses, "Why did he ask for a row number of six people?"

"And..." Wan Yi said hesitantly, "Think about it carefully, this restaurant can't be reserved, it's the number on the day, how did the banquet find out that he was going?"

"Don't tell me sooner." Lu Yuanzhe glanced at him sideways, and pulled back the whiteboard of the hot pot restaurant explosion. Fortunately, he didn't have the habit of erasing it in time, "Let's eat later, let's take a step forward."

"At first, we thought Director Jiang refused to communicate with Yan, so he caused the disaster. Yan arranged for Wei Fanghong to go to the hot pot restaurant when he heard that he had reserved a hot pot restaurant." He glanced at everyone and continued, "But he is actually The number was arranged on the spot, and there was a big table, so maybe we thought wrong, in fact, he had an appointment with someone, and this person betrayed him, so that the banquet had a chance to be arranged in advance?"

Reasonable speculation, no one refuted it.

"Director Jiang, two days before the incident, we planned to eat hot pot with his family. Wei Fanghong, two days before the incident, went to the hot pot restaurant to apply for a job. This is when the banquet started to plan this case." He marked each link of the logic. After a while, the prisoner was locked among the people Director Jiang had contacted proactively within two or three days. "Director Jiang didn't answer the mysterious overseas calls in a short period of time, and it wasn't his upline who asked him out."

"But we have checked the phone calls he made and made two days before the incident, and there is no suspicious person." Wan Yi recalled.

"We only confirmed that these people are not drug dealers, but we didn't confirm whether these people have a personal relationship with Director Jiang." Lu Yuanzhe corrected, "For example, Cheng Mo's father obviously has some old stories that he didn't know about."

"Madam Jiang said that Director Jiang has drawn a clear line with drug dealers, and he has been very nervous recently." Cheng Mo added, "Maybe he was trying to save himself and had to meet someone, but the other party didn't come."

Everyone's eyes returned to the address book. Half an hour before the hot pot bureau started, Director Jiang did answer a call. Fang Haofang, deputy director of the Finance Bureau, said that he called for some financial problems of the Urban Planning Bureau. At that time, they Did not ask.Coincidentally, Jiang Minglang also contacted him two days ago.

"Why don't you... ask this deputy director to have a hot pot?" Lu Yuanzhe suggested.

"Have we taken this step too far?" Wan Yi was a little nervous.

"Then why don't you find a way to hack into his phone to see if there is Mayor Cheng's old number?" Lu Yuanzhe asked.

"Forget it, you should call." Wan Yi immediately waved his hand.

Lu Yuanzhe is a man of action, he fights whenever he wants, and it's only seven o'clock, so it's not too much of a bother.

No one picked up the call, and everyone was nervous for a while. When they called the secretary, they found out that he had gone on a business trip and would not be back until tomorrow.

"I was scared to death." Su Xiaozhi let out a long sigh of relief, "If someone abducted me at this time, I would suspect that Yan installed bugs in our office."

"You won't be abducted in other places, right?" Wan Yi was a little worried.

"No way, isn't the banquet meant to take revenge on the Daocheng government? Surely the case will happen on the land of Daocheng." Lu Yuanzhe disagreed.After hanging up the phone, he ordered a hot pot restaurant, and greeted everyone to go out. The topic suddenly jumped, "Let's go, we won't see anyone, let's enjoy hot pot."

Suddenly there was a suspicious point, and everyone didn't know whether they should eat meat recklessly.
