The next day, around six in the morning.
In a breakfast shop in Zhannan District, Wang Daolin was taking big bites of fried dough sticks and eating pickles, looking like he had a good appetite.
After a while, an SUV stopped by the roadside and a middle-aged man pushed the door and walked out. He had a shoulder bag on his left shoulder, wiped his eye boogers with his hand, and entered the breakfast shop.
"Here!" Wang Daolin waved his hand and shouted.
The middle-aged man walked over, bent down and sat down. Without waiting for the waiter to bring the meal, he picked up the half-drunk soy milk of Wang Daolin and gulped it down in two big gulps.
"Fuck, is this the reincarnation of a starving ghost?!" Wang Daolin was speechless.
"I've been working on this since last night, and I'm really tired and hungry." The middle-aged man picked up the fried dough stick, ate one in two bites, and drank all the soy milk. Then he let out a long sigh.
Wang Daolin had almost finished eating, wiped his mouth and asked, "Have you locked the basic information?"
"Not yet." The middle-aged man shook his head and turned around and shouted, "Give me another tray of steamed buns with beef filling."
Wang Daolin lit a cigarette, turned his head and looked around and asked, "Do you think this was something that the Baolong Group did themselves? Is this a show?"
The middle-aged man whispered back: "Preliminary identification shows that the explosives used by the bandits are from mining."
Wang Daolin looked surprised: "Fuck, then this is a bit similar."
The middle-aged man did not give a direct answer. He just looked at Wang Daolin and asked, "You suddenly came to me for information. Are you ready to stand on Lao Li's side completely?"
"Brother, I don't want to stand with anyone, but I have no choice." Wang Daolin gnashed his teeth and cursed: "My iron will has been corroded by that little bastard Su Tianyu! I was too close to him before, and now it's hard to withdraw. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I see."
"Damn, I just hope that Old Li lives a long life!" Wang Daolin sighed.
The middle-aged man nodded, took out a document from his bag with a subtle movement, and handed it to Wang Daolin under the table: "Don't spread it. The higher-ups in the police department have already taken sides. Lao Guo and Lao Lin should have met with Lille. The higher-ups have ordered that no information about the Baolong Mining case can be leaked. Otherwise, you will be stripped of your clothes and held criminally responsible. So, you must not cheat me. I don't want to go to jail."
"Oh, I see." Wang Daolin replied, and handed the other party a bulging envelope: "Here, tea money."
"I don't want the money. If Lao Li can live a hundred years, it would be better than anything else if you could help me." The middle-aged man replied.
"Ha ha!"
The two looked at each other for a while, then smiled. Wang Daolin pointed at the other and said, "You old fox! Okay, I'll remember that, but you still have to take the tea money. Your son is not going to continue his postgraduate entrance examination, so it will be useful in the future."
After saying that, Wang Daolin stuffed the envelope into the other party's hand and left quickly.
…
It’s a little after nine in the morning.
Su Tianyu drove to the high-ranking cadre residential area where Li Mingsheng lived. When he got out of the car and walked inside, he found that the people from the police station and the supervisory committee had already withdrawn, and only a few vehicles were still there to follow them.
Su Tianyu hurried all the way and entered the Li family. Under the guidance of Li Yuan, he went to the second floor.
In the study, Li Mingsheng and Ouyang Zhen were eating breakfast. When the former saw Gou Liuzi coming in, he immediately greeted him, "Come, come and sit down. Brother Ouyang, let me introduce you. This is my new disciple in Longcheng, Su Tianyu!"
"Young and promising!" Ouyang Zhen looked at Su Tianyu and stretched out his hand to shake his hand.
"I'm just running errands for the leader." Su Tianyu scratched his head, and at Lao Li's invitation, sat in the chair at the edge.
The three of them exchanged a few simple pleasantries before Li Mingsheng took the initiative to ask, "Have you figured out the situation?"
"I've figured it out." Su Tianyu took out the case file that Wang Daolin had given him. "This is all the case details that the police department and the technical department found out at the scene. It's first-hand information. I guess the supervision committee just got it."
"Very good, just tell it to me." Li Mingsheng nodded with satisfaction.
"The police department initially determined that the explosives used by the criminals were most likely used for mining. The explosion took place in the bathroom. The suspect was a young man pretending to be a water delivery worker. The security guard said that the man was no more than 35 years old and had an unhealed scar on his forehead, which looked like an ulcer caused by an allergy or skin disease." Su Tianyu said in great detail: "Last night, the police department had verified with the water delivery company that one of their water delivery workers was hijacked at knifepoint by a stranger on the way to Baolong Mining. The other party stole his work clothes, work vehicle, shipping documents, and more than a dozen barrels of drinking water..."
Li Mingsheng frowned. "It doesn't sound like this was done by any team. If someone ordered it, would they have to kidnap a water delivery worker?"
"It's hard to say." Su Tianyu scratched his head and replied, "What if some gang is looking for some desperate criminals? They just give money and don't care about the specific details?"
After listening to Su Tianyu's narration, Ouyang Zhen also interjected: "The image presented by this criminal suspect is a bit unfavorable to us."
As soon as the leader spoke, he immediately showed his expected level, because this was exactly what Su Tianyu was worried about.
"The minister is right." Su Tianyu immediately took over the conversation: "The image presented by the bandit is very similar to that of people from our associations. In particular, his motive for the attack can easily lead to many bad speculations among the public. Why did he blow up the mining company? Why did he specifically blow up the people in the project department? He did not ask for a ransom after placing the bomb, nor did he have any other demands. It seems like pure revenge. In this case, as long as the police department leads the rhythm a little bit, and the other side's media exaggerates... this incident will be made into a terrorist revenge against Baolong Mining by someone in our association! It is even possible that the public will speculate that this was secretly instigated by our three associations, with the purpose of making things bigger."
Ouyang Zhen nodded slowly: "Xiao Su's consideration makes sense!"
After listening to Su Tianyu's analysis, Li Mingsheng immediately pointed at him and said, "Go find Jin Maohui and ask him to assign someone to you. We must try every possible means to hold him down before the supervision committee finds the murderer. The supervision committee can set the pace, and so can we. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood!" Su Tianyu nodded immediately: "Then what about protesting here?"
"Have people withdraw from the Shengli District Police Department and continue to organize protests in the surrounding areas, but don't be too radical. Also, control Xu Jinbo and don't release him yet. Wait until the second round of negotiations." Li Mingsheng instructed.
"good!"
…
Regulatory committee.
After reading the case materials submitted by the police station, Lill immediately stood up and said, "The image presented by this gangster is very beneficial to us! Notify the police station to catch him at all costs!"
In the botanical garden wetland that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see, the man in the dark blue uniform pulled out two large bags of things wrapped in waterproof paper from behind a rock...
