Infernal Hero

Chapter 247 Wind And Lightning Rose At First Sight

The next morning, Gu Tianyou woke up early and left the room. The two little girls in the room had drunk up all of Ziqi's stock and slept. Jiang Fei didn't have the capacity to drink this much. To be able to drink so much safely was actually due to the efficacy of the medicine. Gu Tianyou also knew that cauliflower, known as kudzu flower, used its flowers to dry and grind into powder. Before drinking wine, he would eat about a fingernail portion to ensure that he would drink a thousand glasses a day without pouring. This recipe can cure alcoholic drunkenness without injuring one's body, so when it is used, it needs to be supplemented with an antidote recipe. Jiang Fei had eaten Python Arch's gall and was not afraid of poisons, so she saved the antidote recipe.

The two women had been drinking and chatting all night, and Gu Tianyou had listened to them for almost an entire night and thought a lot. What should we do about Heaven's Blessed City? How could he face the conflict between himself and these girls, including Fang Le'er? What's the next path? Thinking about it, he didn't think of a reason. He didn't know what to do with the difficulty in front of him, so he didn't have the heart to think too deeply.

There must be a lot of people who can't sleep this night. Ding Baofeng and Dai Xiaolou are probably the most uncomfortable. The premeditated assassination of the provincial party secretary easily made people worry about the social security situation in Wudong Province, and it was even more reasonable to doubt the leaders in charge of Ding Baofeng and Dai Xiaolou. Xu Muye was a ruthless character who had managed many high-ranking agents. It wasn't unusual for him to want to swap horses and get rid of the Chief of the Public Security Department after such a big incident.

Gu Tianyou estimated that as an important witness of this case, if the leaders of the provincial department and the general team weren't afraid of the identity of the second commander, they would probably have gone home last night to invite someone. However, most likely, they wouldn't be able to find him. The advisor was sent by the ministry. Other than the old professor, the others didn't know anything about him.

At eight o'clock in the morning, he arrived at the office on time. As soon as he entered, he saw Dai Xiaolou's serious face. At this moment, Gu Tianyou's disguised counselor was still somewhat different from his original appearance. Dai Xiaolou did not recognize him at all at such a close distance.

Luo Feng was also present. As the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, the Public Security Department was the entrance to the yamen that he dealt with most frequently. The heads from top to bottom were very familiar. As soon as Gu Tianyou walked in, he hurriedly came over to introduce him, "Director Gu, this is Brigadier Dai from the Criminal Investigation Brigade. I'm here to inquire about what happened last night."

Gu Tianyou nodded. Without Luo Feng's introduction, he extended his hand to shake hands with Dai Xiaolou and said, "Advisor, I am temporarily Secretary Xu. Team Dai is here to investigate the case. I have an obligation to cooperate. If you have any questions, please ask. I will definitely know everything."

Normally, there was no need for Dai Xiaolou to personally intervene in such matters, but this case was too big, and the identity of the witnesses involved was also special. If the identity of the person questioned was insufficient, it would appear very rude. Dai Xiaolou had always disliked dealing with leaders. Although the secretary of the provincial party committee was a rank lower than him, due to the particularity of her position, her position was much more influential than his.

Gu Tianyou's cooperative attitude alleviated Dai Xiaolou's discomfort to a certain extent. He cleared his throat and asked politely according to Ding Baofeng's instructions, "Director Gu, did you drive the No. 1 bus of the provincial party committee last night?"

Gu Tianyou nodded and said, "Yes."

Dai Xiaolou then asked, "Can you describe the crime to me in detail?"



Gu Tianyou said that there was no problem. Then, he told the details of the incident, including the appearance and features of the killer he saw, the details of the throwing knife, and so on.

When Dai Xiaolou heard this, he couldn't help but praise, "Director Gu's narration of the case is simply professional."

Gu Tianyou said politely, "I hope I can help you."
Dai Xiaolou hurriedly left. Luo Feng stood at the door of the office with a hesitant expression and said, "Director Gu, if Secretary Xu has nothing else to do, Secretary Shao hopes you can find time to go to his office."

Shao Yonghai wanted to see him? Gu Tianyou muttered in his heart and asked, "Did the chief say anything specific?"

Luo Feng shook his head and said, "I'm repeating the commander's words."

Gu Tianyou asked, "Do you have time now?"

Luo Feng said, "Commander, there is a city mayor meeting at 10 o'clock in the morning. There will be time before 10 o'clock."

Gu Tianyou said, "Then I'll go over now."

Luo Feng was shocked, "Director Gu doesn't need to go to Secretary Xu's place first?"

Generally, the first thing secretaries do when they arrive at the unit is to report to the leader first, sort out the leaders' schedule for the day, prepare the necessary materials, prepare the speech script, arrange the travel matters, and take care of the leader in some details. This is the norm. Like Gu Tianyou, such a big thing had happened the night before. The next morning, he went to see the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee without reporting to the secretary. It could be said to be a big violation of the convention.

Gu Tianyou said, "No need. He has already instructed me to pay close attention to the progress of the investigation into last night's incident. Secretary Shao wants to see me, presumably in connection with that case."

… … … …

The door to Shao Yonghai's office was open. Gu Tianyou walked to the door and saw Shao Yonghai feeding the fish.

The office was not much, and the furnishings were simple. There was a row of bookshelves on one wall, a table and a chair, and a set of sofas and coffee tables for guests. There was only a fish tank and a few pots of flowers in his possessions.

Shao Yonghai raised his head to see Gu Tianyou and greeted him, "Comrade Advisor is here. There is no need to knock on the door. Please come in quickly."

Gu Tianyou walked into the office and said politely, "Good morning, Chief."

Shao Yonghai smiled and waved his hand, "Don't be so courteous. I just did the revolution a few years before you. You can call me Old Shao and I'll call you Little Gu. It's easier to talk if you're more casual."

Gu Tianyou said, "Then I should call you Secretary Shao. It doesn't matter what you call me."

Shao Yonghai did not continue to dwell on this title. He said, "Little Gu, I came to ask you about what happened last night. There is no need to tell me what happened. What I want to know more is what the leader told you after you sent Secretary Xu home."

That wasn't what he wanted to ask. Gu Tianyou didn't waste much effort guessing that what Shao Yonghai wanted to know most was how furious Xu Muye would be after that incident. Had he lost confidence in the security management department of Wu Dong Province? In Shao Yonghai's position, regardless of whether it was Ding Baofeng, Dai Xiaolou, or the main leaders of Jianye Municipal Bureau, they were all his soldiers. If the leaders were not satisfied with these people, it would mean that they were not satisfied with him either.

Gu Tianyou pondered for a moment and said, "Secretary Xu is very angry. He thinks that this matter is a bit ridiculous. Last night, I sent him home. When he came out of the leader's house, Secretary Xu's wife told me that this case is of a horrible nature. It is clearly a premeditated political murder. We must thoroughly investigate it to the end!" "You may not know that Mrs. Xu is the deputy director of a certain bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Her mother's grandfather was Elder Zhou of the former Central Commission for Discipline Inspection."

Speaking to this point, Gu Tianyou felt that he was worthy of the friendship between him and Shao Yuze. After thinking for a while, he said, "Also, Deputy Director Luo told me yesterday that you are from Jianye and have worked in Qinzhou for many years. You have a deep affection for that place. I accidentally told Secretary Xu that he is very interested in the situation in Qinzhou now. Maybe he will ask you for advice sometime."

Once these words were spoken, Shao Yonghai's heartbeat obviously stabilized. He said: "Secretary Xu is young and promising. He is a political worker with great ambitions. The current economic situation in Wudong Province is high in the south and low in the north. If his idea of establishing a regional center in Daqinzhou can be implemented, it will greatly change the current economic structure of our province. It can be said to be a great benefit to the tens of millions of people in Northern Wu."

Gu Tianyou said, "Secretary Shao's words are too good. You are indeed worthy of being called the Old Secretary of the Qinzhou Municipal Committee of the Qinzhou Municipality, who is more than half of the people of Qinzhou." "Secretary Xu has been keeping a close watch on the investigation of the incident last night. I will go over and report to the leader what I know from you," he said after a pause. After saying that, he stood up and said goodbye.

Shao Yonghai sent him to the door and shook hands with Gu Tianyou. "Little Gu, please tell the provincial party committee that Wu Dong's political and legal department is in high synchronization with the provincial party committee. The incident last night was purely an accident. It was caused by people with ulterior motives. This is a serious political murder. I will definitely order the relevant authorities to investigate the case thoroughly as soon as possible."

Gu Tianyou went upstairs to Xu Muye's office.

Xu Muye stood at the window with his hands behind his back. He raised his head and didn't know what was going on outside the window. Although he was not injured in the incident last night, if he wanted to make use of this opportunity, he could be hospitalized right now and take the opportunity to make some changes and arrangements for the public security organs. However, he did not do so, perhaps because he wanted to observe Shao Yonghai's movements first.

Wang Hao walked over and whispered, "Secretary Xu, Secretary Gu is here."

Xu Muye turned around and looked at Gu Tianyou. "I heard that Qinzhou Divine Detective Dai Xiaolou came to look for you this morning. What do you think? How did our public security organs judge this attack?" He asked.

It was now half past eight, and all the members of the provincial party committee were preparing for the day's work. At this time, he still had time to make a decision, whether to reduce the case to a small one or use the issue to expand the scope of the matter.

"He only made an inquiry. For the sake of confidentiality, he is not obliged to report to me on the progress of the case." Gu Tianyou pondered Xu Muye's intentions and said, "I just went to see Secretary Shao Yonghai."

Xu Muye's eyes lit up and he asked with interest, "What did Comrade Yong Hai tell you?"

"We talked about his previous work experience in Qinzhou. He worked there for more than ten years and has a deep affection for that place. In addition, regarding the case last night, he considered it a political murder and a serious criminal case. He has instructed the public security organs and relevant departments to do their best to investigate it," Gu Tianyou said.

Xu Muye nodded and said, "Comrade Yong Hai's stance is very forceful. It seems that we should trust comrades on the political and legal front. Last night, your big sister Hai Bo advised me that this case cannot be entirely dependent on comrades from the public security organs of Wudong Province. I did not agree that she should interfere in this case."

Gu Tianyou said, "Big Sister Hai Bo must be out of concern for you and indignation over this case, "As your wife, it's reasonable for her to say that. To be honest, I also feel that this case was a premeditated murder. However, I believe that the assassin is most likely related to the Azure Fox assassin. An assassin of this level can't be prevented. Such a thing has nothing to do with the work of the Wu Dong police."

Xu Muye laughed heartily and said, "You are a member of the special investigation team of the ministry, and you are also from the Wu Dong police force. Naturally, you have to say good things to them. However, since you have already said so, I will give you some face personally. In this way, you can arrange a suitable time for me to have a private talk with Comrade Yong Hai."

This was considered to be letting Ding Baofeng and the others off the hook. Gu Tianyou secretly let out a long sigh. Xu Muye was finally stabilized. Otherwise, the Wu Dong police force would really suffer.

Gu Tianyou's phone, which only a few people knew the number, rang. Seeing that it was Dai Xiaolou, he picked up the phone and heard the Dai Company say, "If there's anything I need your help with, come to Jianye Hotel immediately. The owner of the jeep has been found!"
