After Niu Jianbin teased Li Lin, Liu Yong and Ma Qingyuan really looked at Li Lin, as if asking, can you call your superiors and ask for some funds?
Li Lin smiled.
If he really called the city bureau or provincial department leaders to plead for mercy as Niu Jianbin said, wouldn't he be a fool!
This is a public matter, not a private matter. Why the hell is he calling? What kind of relationship are you talking about?
Li Lin was afraid that Liu Yong would take it seriously, so he said to Niu Jianbin without waiting for him to speak, "Secretary Niu, you have been working in the public security system for your whole life, and you have connections everywhere... I have met the leaders of the provincial department and the municipal bureau twice, but how can they compare to the relationship between you two? Don't joke with me. I think that if we want to get this done, no one else can do it except you, Secretary Niu!"
Li Lin said this in a relaxed tone, as if the two were joking with each other... While praising each other, he had also clearly rejected his proposal.
Li Lin gave Niu Jianbin enough face.
Hearing this, Niu Jianbin chuckled, feeling that his authority as the head of the Public Security Bureau had been restored.
Just now, he felt humiliated because Li Lin reported Liu Zhong's condition in the hospital to Liu Yong first...
He is the chief of public security, but his subordinate Wu Xiongfei did not report his work to him immediately. Instead, he let Li Lin know it first. Isn't this a contempt for my existence?
So, Niu Jianbin used a teasing tone to embarrass Li Lin... He hoped that he would not think that he was so awesome just because he had shown his face in front of the provincial and departmental leaders... In the Shannan County Public Security Bureau, it is still Niu Jianbin who has the final say!
"Jianbin, express your opinion. This matter must be settled as soon as possible!" Liu Yong saw Niu Jianbin laughing, but he didn't know what he was laughing at, so he frowned and urged him to express his opinion.
Niu Jianbin put out the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray, looked up at Liu Yong and said, "Secretary Liu, since you said so, I can only do as you say. The compensation will be paid from our Public Security Bureau's stability maintenance funds. I will apply for it after I return."
"Okay, now that the funding issue has been resolved, who will do the work for the family members?" Liu Yong looked around and landed on Li Lin. "Li Lin, go do the work for Liu Zhong's family members. After all, the incident happened in the unit you are in charge of."
Li Lin had no intention of shirking his responsibility. It was his duty to stabilize the emotions of the family members and coordinate the compensation issue.
Even if Liu Yong did not arrange it this way, he would still volunteer.
"Okay, I'll go do the family work."
Li Lin nodded in agreement without hesitation.
At this time, Niu Jianbin received a call. He only said "hmm" a few times into the phone and then hung up.
He looked at Liu Yong with a serious expression and reported, "Secretary, things have changed. A comrade from the bureau just reported to me... Based on the existing evidence, it can be basically concluded that Liu Zhong had a sudden illness caused by the injection of drugs. This is not an accident, it is murder!"
"oh?"
Hearing this, Liu Yong, Ma Qingyuan and Li Lin were all surprised.
I thought it was just an accident, but it was eventually confirmed to be a premeditated murder.
Liu Yong became alert and immediately instructed Niu Jianbin, "Hurry up and solve the case! Don't let anyone frame our county government for Liu Zhong's crime!"
"Well, our people have started investigating, and I believe we will catch the murderer soon." Niu Jianbin said confidently.
It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon when Li Lin returned to the county government from the county party committee.
It is very windy today. Even if the windows are closed tightly, you can still hear the whistling wind outside. Although the heating in the government building has been on for a month, the "horrible" sound outside the window still makes people tighten their collars.
Li Lin sat at his desk, pen in hand, his mind full of Liu Zhong's case...
For some reason, a lot of strange thoughts kept rolling around in his mind, and he always felt that this matter was very strange and weird.
But up to this point, he did not associate it with himself... After all, Liu Zhong was a person he could never have any contact with...
As he was lost in thought, the sound of a ringing bell brought him back to reality.
I took out my cell phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar phone number, and the caller ID showed that it was from Yanjing.
His first reaction was that it was Li Lan calling. A sweet smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he answered the call with full of anticipation.
"Hello..."
Before she uttered the words "Sister Lan", a man's sinister laughter came from the phone.
Li Lin's nerves tensed up, his brows furrowed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
The laughter stopped, and a voice with a strong nasal tone slowly came. The tone seemed to carry tremendous hatred, which made people shudder.
"I know you are Li Lin, the former secretary of Qian Lingyun, and now the deputy head of Shannan County, right? ... Haha... As for who I am, you will know soon..."
The tone was full of contempt and disdain for Li Lin.
Li Lin realized that the other party's identity was not simple, so he calmed down, pressed the recording button on his phone, and asked, "Is there something you want to talk about?"
The other party didn't seem to care what Li Lin asked, but just kept talking, "Since we first met, I'll give you a gift... to let you see how small and pitiful you are... A guy as insignificant as you actually wants to fight against the sky, haha... you really don't know how to live or die..."
Gift?
Li Lin was surprised and puzzled...
Then, the other party's voice came again, "You will understand if you stand up and look out the window."
Li Lin stood up subconsciously, and suddenly froze... He felt as if his every move was being monitored... He had become a tool to be manipulated...
