"I know." The man replied: "After the woman jumped off the building, Chen Yinghao immediately asked the hotel security to send the woman to the hospital. The hotel staff leaked that Xie Qixin came to the hotel for dinner."

"What about the hotel's surveillance video? Was it also damaged by Chen Yinghao?" Zhang Shan asked.

"Chen Yinghao broke it." The man said.

"I knew Chen Yinghao was not a good guy!" A trace of anger flashed across Zhang Shan's face.

"Okay, I've already told you everything I know, so that's it, I'm going to hang up." The mysterious man said.

"Wait!" Zhang Shan hurriedly said, "I still have a few questions for you to answer..."

"What else do you want to ask?" The mysterious man said impatiently, "I've already told you everything I know."

Zhang Shan took a breath: "The first question, who are you? Are you an employee of Baozhu Hotel?"

"I'm sorry, I can't answer this question for you." The mysterious man said coldly: "I've made it very clear just now, I'm just a lowly person, I can't offend Xie Qixin, Chen Yinghao and others at all, if I leak If you lose your identity, you will definitely be retaliated wildly by them."

"We can protect you!" Zhang Shan said.

"...You policemen can protect me for a while, but can you protect me for a lifetime?" The mysterious man asked back.

"I..." Zhang Shan was speechless for a moment. The mysterious man was right. It was impossible for the police to protect him for the rest of his life.

"Don't discuss this issue anymore. I will never reveal my identity. You should hurry up and talk about the next question." The mysterious man said.

Zhang Shan nodded: "Second question, why did you call me and tell me so much inside information? What is your purpose?"

"Because of conscience!" The mysterious man was silent for a moment and said, "That woman who jumped off the building is so pitiful..."

"Conscience?" Zhang Shan was stunned immediately, and he was very surprised by the mysterious man's answer.

"Do you have any other questions? If not, I'm going to hang up." The mysterious man said.

"Then what...you listen to me...I need you to testify against Xie Qixin and Chen Yinghao...you...hey, don't hang up! Hey...hey..." Before Zhang Shan finished speaking, he listened When the other party hung up the phone, Zhang Shan hurriedly called back.

The phone rang for a long time before it was connected, and then a woman's voice came out from the phone: "Hello, this is a public line, what can I do?"

"What?" Zhang Shan frowned suddenly: "Speaking in public?"

"Yes, I'm indeed talking about public affairs here, may I ask who are you looking for?" the woman asked politely.

The corner of Zhang Shan's mouth twitched: "A man called me with this number just now..."

"Oh, that man is gone," replied the woman.

"What does that man look like? Can you describe it to me?" Zhang Shan said.

"I can't describe it...that man is wearing a hat and a mask on his face. He has kept his head down since he entered the chat room. I can't see his face clearly at all." The woman said embarrassedly.

"That's it..." Zhang Shan's face suddenly showed a trace of disappointment.

"Do you have anything else to do?" the woman asked.

"Oh, no more, I'm sorry to bother you." After finishing speaking, Zhang Shan hung up the phone, thought for a while, and then told the driver to turn around and go to the Municipal People's Hospital.

……

Municipal People's Hospital.

In the corridor on the third floor, Ma Xiaoyao and Zhang Shan stood at the stairs, talking in low voices.

"What did you say?" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly widened: "The person who accompanied Ruolan to the hotel for dinner turned out to be the deputy mayor Xie Qixin?"

Zhang Shan nodded: "That mysterious man indeed said so, whether it needs further investigation."

"Check it out! Check it out for me! Be sure to find out the matter in the shortest possible time!" Ma Xiaoyao said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Zhang Shan replied, then turned and left the hospital.

After Zhang Shan left, Ma Xiaoyao's brows were tightly frowned. How could this matter involve Vice Mayor Xie Qixin?Is the incident of Ruolan jumping off the building related to Xie Qixin?Thinking of this, a bright light flashed in Ma Xiaoyao's eyes, it seemed that he was going to meet Xie Qixin tomorrow!

……

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Xie Qixin came to the municipal government with two dark circles under his eyes. He suffered from insomnia last night, not because he wasn't sleepy, but when he closed his eyes, the scene of Gu Ruolan jumping off the building appeared in his mind This scene... was so frightening that Xie Qixin didn't even dare to close his eyes and go back to sleep.

"Alas..." Xie Qixin sighed softly. He really couldn't do anything wrong with his heart. Once he did something wrong with his heart, he would be frightened and restless. It was really tormenting.

Secretary Xiao Liu gently put a cup of hot tea on the desk, then turned around and was about to leave.

"Xiao Liu, don't go out yet." Xie Qixin stopped Xiao Liu: "Sit down and talk to me for a while."

"Hey." Xiao Liu responded, and then gently opened the chair and sat down.

"Xiao Liu, what do you think... what is the purpose of human life?" Xie Qixin asked.

"Uh... this..." Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xie Qixin to ask this: "I think... people should live to enjoy life..."

"Enjoy life?" Xie Qixin smiled: "Your thinking is the same as mine, and I also think that people should enjoy life as much as possible when they are alive, and they must not treat themselves badly. Life is too short, maybe one day we will die, So we have to enjoy ourselves in time, and we must not allow ourselves to come to this world for nothing."

"The leader has a really high understanding of life." Xiao Liu flattered him.

"Xiao Liu, do you think...is human nature good or evil?" Xie Qixin asked another more profound question.

Xiao Liu thought for a while and said, "The Three Character Classic says that 'human nature is inherently good', so I think human nature should be kind."

"People are kind when they are born, but what happens when they grow up?" Xie Qixin said with a wry smile: "Once a person grows up, his temper and character will undergo tremendous changes, becoming greedy, selfish, and heartless." ...and finally on the road of no return."

Xiao Liu blinked: "Leader, what's wrong with you? Why do you have so many emotions today?"

"Once a person gets older, he will have a lot of emotions." Xie Qixin took a sip from his teacup: "Okay, it's okay, you can go out."

"Hey." Xiao Liu glanced at Xie Qixin suspiciously, then got up and left the office.

"Alas..." After Xiao Liu went out, Xie Qixin let out a long sigh: "One must never do anything wrong in one's life."

"Crench!"

The door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and the secretary Xiao Liu who had just left came back suddenly: "Leader, Director Ma of the Public Security Bureau is here, can you see him?"

"Director Ma? Ma Xiaoyao!" Xie Qixin was stunned for a moment: "What is he doing here?" At this point, Xie Qixin's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the incident of Gu Ruolan jumping off the building was exposed?No, it's impossible, Chen Yinghao has clearly promised to help him keep the secret, Ma Xiaoyao shouldn't know...

"Leader, have you met Director Ma?" Secretary Xiao Liu asked again.

"Uh..." Xie Qixin hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Let him in." After much deliberation, Xie Qixin decided to meet Ma Xiaoyao to see what Ma Xiaoyao wanted from him.

After getting Xie Qixin's permission, the secretary Xiao Liu turned around and left the office. After a while, Xiao Liu came back, followed by a man. After a closer look, it was Ma Xiaoyao. Today Ma Xiaoyao was wearing a denim suit. Looks very energetic.

"Oh, Director Ma, you are a rare visitor." Xie Qixin stood up, held Ma Xiaoyao's hand enthusiastically, and said with a smile, "Come on, sit down, Xiao Liu, and quickly make a cup of good tea for Director Ma." , Xie Qixin took Ma Xiaoyao and sat on the sofa.

After a while, the secretary Xiao Liu came over with a cup of hot tea. After putting the tea cup on the coffee table, Xiao Liu exited the office knowingly and closed the door.

"Director Ma, what are you doing here today?" Xie Qixin asked. To be honest, Xie Qixin didn't have much affection for Ma Xiaoyao, but on the surface he pretended to be enthusiastic. This is Xie Qixin No matter how much he hates you in his heart, he pretends to be very enthusiastic on the surface, paralyzing you, and after you let go of your vigilance, he will deal with you.

Ma Xiaoyao didn't go around the bush, and asked straight to the point: "Deputy Mayor Xie, where did you eat the night before yesterday?"

"The night before yesterday..." There was a flash of panic in Xie Qixin's eyes, but he quickly covered it up: "This...I really can't remember...Director Ma, you don't know something. My memory is very poor, I often forget some things...especially some small things, I forget faster..."

"Since Deputy Mayor Xie forgot, let me remind you." Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Did you go to Baozhu Hotel for dinner the night before yesterday? And you went with a woman?"

"Uh... is there such a thing? I really can't remember it!" Xie Qixin shook his head. His mood at the moment can be described as turbulent, but on the surface he was very calm.

"It seems that Deputy Mayor Xie's memory is really bad, so let me remind you again." Ma Xiaoyao said lightly: "The woman who accompanied you to the Baozhu Hotel for dinner is called Gu Ruolan, who works in Industrial and Commercial Bank... ...Deputy Mayor Xie, you should remember now, right?"

"Gu Ruolan? This name is very familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere... Oh, yes..." Xie Qixin patted his forehead: "I remembered, I attended an economic symposium last month, I met a woman at the venue, she seems to be called Gu Ruolan...well, it should be..."
