Then Zhong Yang introduced the two people sitting in the front and rear seats to Fang Zhicheng. They were both staff members of the Dongtai County Public Security Bureau. They had cooperated with Zhong Yang on many cases and had a close relationship. One was named Dongfang Wu and the other was named Zhang Dong. Dongfang Wu was nearly 40 years old and had a deep scar at the corner of his eye, while Zhang Dong was very thin, as if he had taken drugs. Fang Zhicheng was good at talking to people, and he became familiar with the two after a few words.

Turning into a secluded courtyard, the coquettish proprietress came over to greet him. Zhang Dong touched her butt twice. Dongfang Wu saw Fang Zhicheng's surprised expression and said with a smile, "That's Zhang Dong's lover. They have been having an affair for many years without telling her husband."

Fang Zhicheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, then followed him into the private room on the second floor. After a while, Zhang Dong's lover came up with two young women in slit cheongsams to pour wine for the four of them. Fang Zhicheng saw this and thought to himself that this must be a special service. If an ordinary guest came, he would definitely not receive such treatment.

After sitting down and drinking a few cups, Fang Zhicheng didn't say much and listened to the three people discussing the mystery of Xia Guangming's death.

As Fang Zhicheng expected, Xia Guangming would never commit suicide, and the room where his body was found was not the first crime scene. That night, someone heard a fierce argument on a stone bridge not far from the hotel, but the investigation team did not find any clues there.

If you want to solve a case, the first scene is very important because there may be a lot of evidence and clues left there.

Chapter 0168 Go Back Where You Came From

Fang Zhicheng still maintained his habit of morning exercise. He went out at around five o'clock and jogged around the road near the County Party Committee Guesthouse. There was a tree-lined avenue near the County Party Committee Guesthouse. The road was flat and it was an excellent place for running. Fang Zhicheng took two deep breaths, quickened his pace, and sprinted forward for dozens of meters until his calves became sore, then he slowed down. Standing by the stone railing next to him and doing a few stretching exercises, Fang Zhicheng's eyes lit up. He saw a tall woman with long hair and a small but very fast stride flashing before his eyes.

It turned out to be County Magistrate Qi. Wasn't she hospitalized yesterday afternoon because of a high fever? How come she came back early this morning? Fang Zhicheng secretly sighed that County Magistrate Qi was really hardworking.

County Magistrate Qi's name is Qi Yun, she is 29 years old this year, and she is a cadre assigned by the province to take charge of science, education, culture and health. She is a relatively silent person. She has lived in the guesthouse for half a year and has not said a few words to the waiter, so Fang Zhicheng was unable to get more information from the waiter.

Qi Yun suddenly covered her forehead and stopped walking, leaning against a tree. Fang Zhicheng hesitated for a moment, but eventually followed her and asked softly, "County Magistrate Qi, are you okay?"

Qi Yun turned around, looked at Fang Zhicheng with doubt and fatigue, waved her hand, and said, "I'm fine." Qi Yun didn't know the strange Fang Zhicheng behind her. Although Qi Yun had met him last night, she was in a high fever at that time and almost forgot everything that happened. However, she only took a few steps before her body swayed and she almost fell.

Fang Zhicheng quickly supported Qi Yun and asked worriedly, "Weren't you just hospitalized yesterday? How come you're back before you've recovered?"

Qi Yun was slightly stunned, staring at Fang Zhicheng's face for a while, and finally remembered what happened yesterday afternoon. She said weakly: "Are you the new director of the Investment Promotion Bureau?"

Fang Zhicheng nodded and said with a wry smile: "We have already met yesterday afternoon. How about I send you back to the hospital? You are in a very bad condition now. If you want to go to work, it is definitely not appropriate."

Qi Yun shook her head and insisted, "It's okay. You'll be fine after a short rest. Thank you for your concern."

Seeing Qi Yun so stubborn, Fang Zhicheng couldn't help but feel helpless, wondering how he met such a strong woman. After changing his mind, he finally made up his mind not to let Qi Yun hold on. Fang Zhicheng reached out to stop Qi Yun, then lifted her up on his shoulder, turned around and ran towards the street.

"What are you doing?" Qi Yun didn't react. After Fang Zhicheng ran several steps, she remembered to resist, but her body was so soft and weak that she couldn't exert any strength at all.

"I'm saving you!" Fang Zhicheng said without any doubt.

About twenty or thirty minutes later, Fang Zhicheng sent Qi Yun back to the hospital. Qi Yun fell into a coma again. The doctor conducted a preliminary examination on her and determined that Qi Yun had symptoms of mild pneumonia. If she continued to hold on, her condition would most likely become more serious.

After Qi Yun entered the ward, Fang Zhicheng sighed secretly. It seemed that there was no shortage of officials like Jiao Yulu in this era, but they had not been unearthed. Qi Yun was an excellent example.

After a while, it was already past seven o'clock. Fang Zhicheng went back to take a quick shower and then rushed to the office to work.

Fang Zhicheng did not go directly into his office, but walked around outside each department. Although he had met everyone yesterday, there were still a few people who did not recognize Fang Zhicheng and were playing games, eating snacks and chatting openly.

Wang Chong was shaking his legs, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and operating his fingers quickly. He joked with a young woman in her twenties next to him, "Xie Mengmeng, the car that came to pick you up last night was changed. Did you change your husband again?"

Xie Mengmeng put down the strawberry milk, took out the makeup mirror, adjusted her eyebrows with her fingers, and sighed softly: "I also want to change my husband, but unfortunately I am not so lucky. The car yesterday belonged to my best friend's boyfriend. It was a car worth more than 400,000 yuan, but my husband was reluctant to buy it for me!"

Wang Chong shrugged, took a sip of tea from his cup, and found a young man standing behind him. He frowned and asked, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said calmly: "I'm not looking for anyone, I'm just taking a look."

Wang Chong was just about to say, "Do you think the China Merchants Bank is a vegetable market? Go ahead and take a look if you want to." But Xie Mengmeng noticed something was wrong and winked at him. He quickly adjusted his posture and exited the game.

Fang Zhicheng smiled slightly, without saying anything, turned around and left the Second Investment Promotion Section and headed towards the Third Section.

"Who was that guy just now? He looked familiar." Wang Chong looked at Xie Mengmeng blankly.

Xie Mengmeng shook her head helplessly and said with a wry smile: “New director, you are too careless.”

"Ah?" Wang Chong looked up to the sky and sighed, "Do you think I have been blacklisted?"

Xie Mengmeng curled her lips and sneered, "Why would you, Mr. Wang, care about this?"

Wang Chong chuckled twice and said, "Of course I care. Am I that shameless?"

Xie Mengmeng whispered, "Director Zou will protect you, what are you afraid of."

Wang Chong smiled slightly, quickly forgot what happened before, then opened the game, logged in, and continued to click the mouse frantically. Although the new department of the Merchants Bureau did not have a good status in the county government, most of the people were related households, and they had to rely on strong connections to enter. Wang Chong's father was the head of the Organization Department of Hanyun County. This was just a stepping stone for him. He might have to move to other places to develop tomorrow, so Wang Chong's performance was so casual.

After Fang Zhicheng entered the room and drank a cup of tea, he called the General Work Department and asked them to hold a leadership meeting half an hour later. At half past ten, Li Hui, Zou Yu, and Guo He entered the office. Fang Zhicheng had already brewed tea and made a cup for each of them.

Zou Yu took a sip and said with a smile, "Director Fang, where did you buy your tea? It's really delicious." After saying that, her beautiful eyes rolled around Fang Zhicheng's face.

Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and smiled faintly, "Director Zou will take some tea away later."

Zou Yu chuckled a few times and said charmingly, "That's so embarrassing."

Seeing Zou Yu openly teasing Fang Zhicheng, Li Hui looked unhappy. She cleared her throat and said, "I wonder what the topic of today's meeting is?"

Guo Heze sat up straight with a wandering look in his eyes, as if he didn't notice the change in the atmosphere in the office.

Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that these three people from the Merchants Group were really interesting. Zou Yu was flirtatious, Li Hui was cold-eyed, and Guo He was aloof. However, they all had a common characteristic: on the surface, they respected themselves, but deep down, they didn't take Fang Zhicheng seriously.

After all, Fang Zhicheng is too young, in his early twenties. So what even if he is the municipal party secretary

Fang Zhicheng put down his teacup, looked at the three people's faces, and said in a deep voice: "The main purpose of holding this meeting is to get the bottom of the matter. First, how is the current progress of China Merchants Group? The work report mentioned that it attracts 8 billion yuan of investment every year. How much has been received so far? Second, are there any loopholes in the current management model of China Merchants Group? Are there any specific ways to improve it?"
