Xiang Tianliang slipped out of the small hotel, got into the car he drove, and prepared to leave quickly.

However, as soon as the car drove a short distance away, Xiang Tianliang suddenly stepped on the brakes.

In the back seat of the car, a person suddenly sat up, and Xiang Tianliang was startled.

"Haha... don't be nervous, just drive forward."

"Lao Li, why is it you?"

It's Liming, the political commissar of the County Public Security Bureau.

Xiang Tianliang calmed down, relaxed his feet, and let the car start driving again.

"I said, Lao Li, you are quite elusive."

Li Ming smiled and said: "What a coincidence, it was you who hit the muzzle of my gun, haha..."

"What's going on?"

"The first coincidence is that I have a day off this morning and I don't have to go to work. The second coincidence is that this small hotel is owned by my wife and my precious daughter. The third coincidence is that my precious daughter went to Zhongyang City to see her boyfriend. My family My wife ordered me to help. The fourth coincidence is that the car you are driving belongs to my precious daughter. It has spent all our family’s savings. The fifth coincidence is that my precious daughter and the two precious daughters of Dai Wenhua, the owner of the North and South Tea Houses, are Classmate, she likes to park her car in the yard of Dai Wenhua's house. The sixth coincidence is that you happened to drive my precious daughter's car. The seventh coincidence is that I was about to go home when I happened to see my precious daughter's car."

Xiang Tianliang was overjoyed when he heard this, "Lao Li, please stop talking. You captured me alive. Why don't you surrender?"

"Xiao Xiang, drive the car to my house. You have been there and know the way."

Ming Ming is in his fifties and is a native of Binhai Chengguan Town. His home is in a quiet alley on the north bank of Xiaonan River.

Although he is not highly educated, became a monk halfway, and is not very proficient in business, Liming is still quite respected in the county public security system. This is related to his personality, so he is firmly seated as the second-in-command of the county public security bureau. Right.

I entered the house and went directly to the study. I closed the doors and windows again at dawn, which made me a little nervous.

"Lao Li, are you like this?" Xiang Tianliang smiled and sat down without invitation.

After finishing making tea and lighting cigarettes, Li Ming sat down and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Xiao Xiang, you should understand it yourself."

He nodded and said to Tianliang: "Lao Shao and I already know."

"Something happened?"

"Lao Li, how did you know?"

Li Ming nodded and said: "We have always had a lot of weird things in Binhai, but these two days have been particularly so. The first weird thing is that gangsters openly attacked the Public Security Bureau and its leaders. The second weird thing is that the municipal bureau blatantly took over their duties. The third weird thing is that the county The top leader of the Public Security Bureau has been publicly dismissed. The fourth blame is that the victim was just out of danger and is still lying in the hospital, but he is under house arrest. The fifth blame is that the city bureau’s special brigade did not help hunt down the criminals, but was messing around in the surrounding area. Shoot, the sixth weird thing is that the dignified county magistrate and the public security director are openly being followed. The seventh weird thing is that the layman acts as an expert, and the political commissar of the Public Security Bureau who can't solve the case actually becomes the deputy leader of the task force... "

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said: "First come the seven tricks, then the seven strange ones. Lao Li, you are like a mirror in your heart."

"The boss...the boss is checking you and Lao Shao?" Liming asked.

"Internal investigation."

"I can see that Xiao Jiannan is the brother of you and Lao Shao. If you let him check you, you are checking your own people. This shows that your own people are not trusting you, and the reason why they are not trusting is because someone is targeting you. you."

"Lao Li, what you said is absolutely right." He nodded towards the sky.

"Is it a big problem?"

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said, "God knows, earth knows, and ghosts also know."

Liming shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about you and Lao Shao. I believe you if you say you have made mistakes. I won't believe you even if you say you have problems. I'm worried about another aspect."

"Which aspect?"

"I'm worried that the unity we finally created will be completely destroyed."

"As long as you, Lao Li, are here, this team can't be separated."

"Me? How many kilograms do I have? Let me join the task force just to silence everyone."

Xiang Tianliang asked: "Do you see the signs?"

"Zhang Meng."

"What's wrong with him?"

Liming said: "Zhang Meng told me that he was entrusted with important tasks by Xiao Jiannan."

"I know that. Zhang Meng, like you, is the deputy leader of the task force."

"This is superficial."

"Oh, what else did Zhang Meng say?"

Liming said: "After the pursuit last night, I was on night shift. Zhang Meng stayed and talked with me for a long time. I could tell that he was testing me, testing my attitude towards you, Lao Shao, and Xiao Jiannan. Later, he finally said that Xiao Jiannan was investigating you and Lao Shao, and Zhang Meng had agreed to assist Xiao Jiannan in investigating you and Lao Shao."

Xiang Tianliang breathed a sigh of relief, "So, Zhang Meng has finally taken refuge in Xiao Jiannan."

"I don't understand this a bit." Li Ming said with a smile.

"Lao Li, you are asking questions knowingly."

Liming smiled and said: "You and Xiao Jiannan are in the same boat. If Zhang Meng does this, it can only be said that the water flows downwards and people move upwards."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it." He waved to Tianliang.

"Haha... that's right, everyone has his or her own ambitions."

"It's going to rain and my mother wants to get married. No wonder."

Dawn asked: "Is the matter serious?"

"How should I put it? If you just check your own people, it's like the right hand beating the left hand. Nothing will happen. However, if others check, small problems will turn into big problems."

"Oh, I understand, it must be related to that legend." Li Ming nodded.

"legend?"

Xiang Tianliang suddenly woke up.

Liming, like Zhou Tai'an, the political commissar of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, is a well-known good old man. In other words, his position is unclear. He can get along with the former director Wang Zaidao as if they were one person, and he can also become a confidant with the current director Shao Sanhe.

Can such a person tell the truth to him?

Besides, are the "seven coincidences" he mentioned really coincidences? How can there be so many coincidences in this world?

People's hearts are separated from each other.

Liming saw the change in the expression on Xiang Tianliang's face and said with a smile: "Xiao Xiang, are you doubting me?"

Xiang Tianliang was startled, thinking that Jiang was indeed very old, "Lao Li, I have a special characteristic, do you know?"

"What characteristics?"

"Doubt everything."

"Including me?"

"Including myself."

"Oh...hehe..." Liming slapped his head and said with a smile, "When you said that, I really remembered that Lao Shao once mentioned to me that you were a skeptic."

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said, "Lao Li, I'm sorry."

"No, no, no, I should say I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask blindly."

"No, I'd rather you ask me."

"real?"

"Of course, if you don't ask me, if I don't leave, you still have to take care of my food and drink."

Li Ming smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just ask."

"That so-called legend you mentioned?"

Li Ming nodded and said: "This matter has been in my heart for a long time. I have always wanted to ask but didn't dare."

"Okay, tell me, if I know, I will definitely answer you."

"There is a legend that one night, a safe was stolen at the house of Executive Deputy County Magistrate Jiang Jianwen. Two things were stolen from the safe. One was a manuscript. It is said that this manuscript was written by Lu Haibin, the current county Party Committee Propaganda Minister. It was written when he was participating in the construction of the second phase of the Binhai Reservoir project. Because the novel contained a lot of very unhealthy content, Lu Haibin did not dare to show it to others, but he was reluctant to throw it away, so that it was later borrowed by Jiang Jianwen and kept. Jiang Jianwen used this to blackmail Lu Haibin and obtained some disadvantages from it. Lu Haibin always wanted to get his manuscript back, but was frightened by Jiang Jianwen's coercion and did not dare to ask for it back. Until that night, you took it back The manuscript was returned to him."

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said, "Lao Li, keep talking."

"The second part of this legend is that you and Lao Shao, or Du Guilin, said that the three of you sneaked into Jiang Jianwen's house, and one of you injured Jiang Jianwen. The reason for this is because you were in While stealing the manuscript, I also took away a huge amount of money in the safe. It is said that this huge amount of money is in the millions, and it was eventually divided between the three of you..."

Xiang Tianliang smiled and asked: "Lao Li, where did this legend of yours come from?"

"Part of it has been heard a long time ago, and part of it is what Zhang Meng said."

Xiang Tianliang said, "Zhang Meng said that?"

"Yes." Liming nodded and said, "That is to say, the main content they are investigating you and Lao Shao is this legend."

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said, "So, Zhang Meng told you on purpose. He hoped to tell me and Lao Shao through you."

"I think so." Li Ming smiled.

But Xiang Tianliang said in his heart that maybe it was Zhang Meng who asked Liming to test it.

"Lao Li, do you believe this legend?" Xiang Tianliang asked.

"Believe it or not believe it. You can't disbelieve it, but you can't believe it completely."

"Why?" Xiang Tianliang asked.
