Chapter 844 Li Cheng's Past
Why let Zhou Liang investigate Li Cheng?
Because Jiang Chen knew clearly that as long as Li Cheng was there, he would protect Li Guang.
But it was precisely this point that aroused Jiang Chen's vigilance.
Li Cheng was a cautious person. Not only did he not draw a clear line between himself and Li Guang, but he helped him deal with the garbage dump issue. There must be other reasons for this.
Li Guang must have something that Li Cheng can use to force him to obey!
After realizing this, Jiang Chen decisively sent Zhou Liang to eastern Guangdong to investigate Li Cheng.
Li Cheng had a very good reputation in eastern Guangdong, and everyone praised him as a good official.
Zhou Liang investigated and visited for nearly half a month, but found no clues.
But he was not discouraged.
This is also the reason why Jiang Chen asked him to go to eastern Guangdong.
Wang Honghong is bold but not careful enough; Meng Guan is careful but not good at dealing with people.
Zhou Liang is a steady and friendly person, so others don't guard against him.
The most important thing is that he is stubborn and will definitely do what he wants to do.
Sure enough, he found out some things.
Zhou Liang took out a black and white photo from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen took it. There were seven people in the black and white photo, standing in two rows. In the middle was an elderly man. Li Cheng, who was twenty years younger, stood next to the old man with a serious expression.
Zhou Liang introduced: "The old man in the middle is called Wang Hongjun. He can be said to be Li Cheng's mentor."
"After retiring, Li Cheng became deputy mayor of a small town in eastern Guangdong Province. He was known for his strong character and was marginalized by others. Wang Hongjun, then deputy secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, admired Li Cheng very much and promoted him all the way up."
"In name they were master and apprentice, but in reality they were father and son. Wang Hongjun had no son, and Li Cheng happened to have lost both his parents. Privately, some people heard Li Cheng call Wang Hongjun his godfather. Another time, when Wang Hongjun was ill and hospitalized, Li Cheng and his wife ran around taking care of him, taking great care of him. It can be said that they did their best."
"After Wang Hongjun died, Li Cheng held a funeral for him."
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows: "How did he die?"
"I've read Wang Hongjun's medical records. He had heart problems and died suddenly while working late at night. The doctor said it was caused by overwork."
Zhou Liang said this with a hesitant expression.
Jiang Chen let him speak first.
Zhou Liang expressed his doubts, "I just heard this by chance. It's said that a forensic doctor at the time found excessive arsenic in Wang Hongjun's body."
Jiang Chen: "Arsenic?"
Zhou Liang nodded. "It was arsenic, but there's no evidence. I went to find the forensic doctor, but he died three days after Wang Hongjun's death."
"Oh?" A faint light flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes: "How did the forensic doctor die?"
"He found a key clue in a case, and the prisoner held a grudge against him. After he was released from prison, he bought a hunting rifle on the black market and shot him dead in front of the police station. Afterwards, the prisoner also shot himself."
This is all such a coincidence.
Jiang Chen pondered: "If it was Li Cheng who killed Wang Hongjun, what was his motive?"
"It is said that Wang Hongjun had a big fight with Li Cheng before his death, but no one knows why."
In order to get to the bottom of the matter, Zhou Liang was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he didn't dare to conduct a large-scale investigation, and what he could find out was very limited.
That's all he found.
Zhou Liang knew that Brother Jiang asked him to go to eastern Guangdong in order to find the key clues to bring down Li Cheng.
But what he found out was not the key evidence, so he still couldn't do anything to Li Cheng.
Zhou Liang blamed himself and said, "Brother Jiang, what should I do next? It seems that what I found is useless."
After he said that, he didn't dare to look at Brother Jiang and lowered his head in shame.
Jiang Chen said, "It's useful. What you've said proves that there must be something fishy about Wang Hongjun's death, and Li Guang must have relevant evidence."
Zhou Liang's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again.
"That old fox Li Guang doesn't get along with us and will definitely not give us the evidence."
Jiang Chen twirled the jade ring on his thumb and smiled maliciously.
"Go find some people and spread the news that someone is going to Guangdong to investigate Li Cheng's past. Make sure both Li Cheng and Li Guang know about it."
Zhou Liang didn't understand: "Won't this alert the enemy?"
"If it was really Li Cheng who poisoned my mentor Wang Hongjun, it shows how ruthless he is. He would kill to get his way. Such a person would do anything to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"Li Guang knows Li Cheng better than we do. He has key evidence of Li Cheng's crimes and is even more afraid than we are of what happened back then being exposed."
The more Zhou Liang listened, the brighter his eyes became. "Li Cheng doesn't trust Li Guang, and he'll definitely find a way to shut him up. Li Guang knows this, and he'll be extra vigilant. If the two of them fight each other, he won't be able to trip us up!"
“Great!”
Zhou Liang admired from the bottom of his heart:
"Brother Jiang, you are still the best!"
