Yan Lian whispered to the guard who opened the door for him: "Get the man on the bed on the right and get out now. Xiaoye and I still have something to say."
The clerk who was guarding Ye Ming quickly woke up the other person, and the two quietly walked out of room 501 and closed the door sensibly.
Since Yan Lian and the two guards spoke and moved very lightly, and Ye Ming slept soundly, Yan Lian and his actions did not wake him up.
Yan Lian stood by his bed and stared at him for a while, then pushed his shoulder with his hand and shouted softly in a very soft voice: "Director Ye, Director Ye, wake up."
Ye Ming woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes and glanced at Yan Lian, then lifted up the quilt and sat up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and asked a little confused: "Is it dawn yet? Didn't you say you wouldn't see me off until nine in the morning? Are you going to the detention center? Why so early?"
Yan Lian hurriedly laughed and said: "Director Ye, you misunderstood. I'm not here to send you to the detention center. I'm here to tell you good news: Just now, I held a meeting of the task force. At the meeting, I We have conveyed the instructions from Secretary Zhou of the Provincial Party Committee’s Political and Legal Affairs Committee, deciding to revoke your criminal detention decision and immediately lift your detention. From now on, you are a free man,”
The news announced by Yan Lian came so suddenly that Ye Ming, who was unprepared, was taken aback. He stared at Yan Lian with some confusion and asked: "Team Leader Yan, are you teasing me on purpose? During the meal, your deputy team leader surnamed He had clearly told me that you had made the decision to detain me this afternoon and would send me to the detention center tomorrow. Why did you want to release me all of a sudden? Are you playing a game or teasing me?"
Yan Lian smiled awkwardly and said: "Director Ye, let me first state something: whether I decided to summon you at the beginning or decide to detain you today, I, the leader of the task force, acted under orders and never deliberately targeted you, Director Ye. I believe that Director Ye can understand this point. After all, you and I don’t know each other, and we have no grievances. If it weren’t for my duties, there would be no need for me to deliberately embarrass you, right?
"Similarly, I am also following orders to make the decision to release you. However, before that, I fought for you and reported your problems to my superiors. My opinion at the time was: your problems, no matter what There is no direct evidence to support whether you were taking bribes, soliciting prostitution or participating in a mafia organization, so no further investigation measures should be taken against you. Although we later made the decision to continue to detain you due to various factors, this was not my decision. My original intention is to hope that Director Ye can fully understand my difficulties and not have any opinions or ideas about me, the leader of the task force.
"Furthermore, based on my observation of you while you were in custody, Director Ye is indeed an upright, courageous and knowledgeable man who is not afraid of flattery or humiliation. He is also a very capable young talent with a bright future. There is a saying: We don’t know each other without fighting. Although you and I got acquainted under a rather special situation, I really want to have a friend like Director Ye. How many years am I older than you? If Director Ye doesn’t dislike me, I will I’ll just call you brother, and I hope Director Ye won’t think I’m abrupt or presumptuous, haha,”
Ye Ming didn't have much contact with Yan Lian, the team leader, and he never had a serious conversation with him. He didn't know him well. Moreover, he didn't know that Yan Lian helped Li Botang frame him behind the scenes, so he didn't know much about him. He had no objection at all. At the same time, he also felt that what Yan Lian had just said was sincere and reasonable. Moreover, the other party was, after all, the deputy secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee, a high-ranking official, and he was part of this task force. As the team leader, it is already rare for him to lower his profile and interact with me.
What's more, Ye Ming has always been a person who accepts the weak rather than the strong, and he also likes to make friends. Seeing Yan Lian so humbly wanting to be his brother, he hurriedly said: "Secretary Yan, you are too polite. You are the leader, and It’s an elder. If you say that, how can I be responsible?”
Yan Lian saw the sincerity on his face when he said this, and couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He quickly took out the two packs of Diamond Furong Wang cigarettes from his bag, stuffed one pack into Ye Ming's pocket, and opened another pack. , pulled out two sticks, handed one to Ye Ming, and said: "Director Ye, I know you are also a smoker. You must have been exhausted in the past two days. Come on, let's smoke one to satisfy your craving."
As he said that, he took out the lighter from his pocket and prepared to light Ye Ming on fire.
Ye Ming was already very addicted to cigarettes. He had been locked up in the hotel for the past two days and had finished smoking half a pack of cigarettes on the first night. He couldn't go out to buy cigarettes, so he had to endure it. Moreover, because he was worried about an accident, His lighter was also confiscated by the task force on the second day after he was imprisoned. Now when he saw Yan Lian handing him a cigarette, he got what he wanted and said thank you, then he took Yan Lian's lighter and removed the cigarette from his mouth. Light it up, squint your eyes and take a few sips.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Yan Lian took the opportunity to say: "Director Ye, I heard that among your new night snacks, snails and crayfish are the most famous, especially your snails. They are spicy and refreshing, with endless aftertaste. They are a famous dish far and near. I have been in Xinleng for so many days. Because I have been busy working on cases, I have never had time to taste these two special snacks with Yaxing. It is now a quarter past midnight, which is the best time to have a late night snack, Director Ye Can you accompany me to taste the snails and crayfish from your late-night snack stall? I’ll treat you tonight to congratulate you, how about that?"
Ye Ming hurriedly said: "Secretary Yan, you have arrived in Xinlang, why are you so embarrassed to ask for a treat? If you want to eat snails, I invite you to eat on the embankment of Zijiang River. There is a late night snack restaurant called Lao Pier. , next to the river, there are private rooms separated by yurts. Late-night snackers can sit in the yurts and taste delicious snails and lobsters, while enjoying the night view of the Zijiang River, and you can also enjoy the river breeze. The environment is very nice Moreover, in the entire Xinleng County, the snails and lobsters at the Old Pier Night Supper Restaurant have the most authentic taste, so let’s go there,”
Yan Lian nodded happily and suddenly asked: "Director Ye, do you know Captain Chen Guitian of the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Provincial Public Security Department and Director Liang Tanghua of your Public Security Bureau?"
Ye Ming hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "We know each other. I had a meal with them."
