Qiao Liang calmed down and looked at Fang Xiaoya and Lu Qian: "No, nothing."

"What are you doing? Who did you send a message to?" Lu Qian asked.

"I..." Qiao Liang had a sudden inspiration, "My brother's third brother sent me a message. He and a group of people drove into Tibet, but ended up in a landslide..."

"Ah!" This time it was Fang Xiaoya and Lu Qian's turn to shout.

Qiao Liang continued: "It was the collapse of the landslide that caused the Jinsha River to cut off the current, forming a landslide lake, flooding National Highway 318, and their way to Tibet was blocked."

"Is the third brother okay?" Fang Xiaoya asked anxiously.

"It's okay, they suspended their journey and were volunteering to help resettle the affected people."

Fang Xiaoya breathed a sigh of relief and blamed Qiao Liang again: "You guy was shocked and scared me."

Lu Qian asked, "Who is the third brother?"

"Qiao Liang's college classmate and I are Qiao Liang's best friend." Fang Xiaoya said.

"What is this guy doing?" Lu Qian asked again.

"This..." Fang Xiaoya hesitated for a while, "self-employed."

"What kind of self-employed people do?" Lu Qian asked to the end.

Fang Xiaoya didn't know if she should say it for a moment, and looked at Qiao Liang, who said happily: "Be a private detective."

"Hey, this is a good life. You guy and I are half a colleague." Lu Qian was happy.

"He is incomparable to you. You can handle the case publicly. He is an underground party." Qiao Liang said.

"I have time to meet you guys." Lu Qian suddenly realized that the clues he had obtained from Qiao Liang about the case of Fang Zhengtai that he had previously, seemed to be related to the third brother.

"No problem." Qiao Liang nodded absent-mindedly, worried about Xu Honggang's affairs, then looked down at his phone and continued to chat with Xu Honggang, "Minister Xu, what happened?"

"I don't know anything, I have to talk tomorrow." Xu Honggang replied.

Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel uneasy: "This is so sudden."

"It's quite suddenly. I'll tell you only this. Don't say anything to Xiaoya, even when she returns to Jiangzhou, she pretends not to know anything." Xu Honggang reminded.

"Okay, Minister Xu, I won't tell anyone."

"Also, pay close attention to the movements in Jiangzhou tomorrow. If you find any abnormalities, tell me at any time, don't call me or leave me a message."

"OK."

Qiao Liang put away his cell phone and felt very nervous. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection suddenly recalled Xu Honggang from Beijing for a conversation. Something must be wrong. What did Xu Honggang do?

Qiao Liang thought about it and felt that it shouldn't be a serious matter, otherwise Xu Honggang wouldn't have returned to Huangyuan by himself. It should be someone from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection who took him back.

But even if it is not serious, it is almost certainly not a good thing. Nowadays, what cadres at all levels are most afraid of is being talked to by the Discipline Inspection Commission.

For Xu Honggang, who was in a state of success in his career, any bad thing might have an adverse impact on his career.

Once Xu Honggang's career is hindered, he will naturally be unsuccessful as a person around him.

Qiao Liang's mood suddenly became unwell, both nervous and uneasy, and even a little fear.

At this time, Qiao Liang could not think of anything that would happen to Xu Honggang, and he was kept in the dark, and he would not know.

At 4:30 pm, he arrived at the Songbei project site. Fang Xiaoya wanted to stay at the construction site to handle some matters, and Lu Qian drove away with Qiao Liang.

"Let's go back to Jiangzhou?" Qiao Liang asked Lu Qian.

Lu Qian didn't answer, took out her phone and started dialing, and pressed hands-free after dialing.

The phone call was answered, and a man's voice said: "Hello, Director Lu."

The person who spoke was the director of Songbei Public Security Bureau whom he met yesterday at the reservoir.

"What happened to the case yesterday?" Lu Qian asked while driving.

"Reported to Bureau Lu, according to the on-site investigation and forensic identification, the identity of the deceased has been determined. He is the owner of a construction company in Jiangzhou, named Jin Tao. He went to Songbei Reservoir to fish on the weekend and lived in a resort hotel next to the reservoir and found his ID card in the hotel room. At the same time, according to the forensic dissection, the deceased drank a lot of alcohol before drowning... Based on the above situation, we and Ning Detachment both determined that the deceased should have accidentally fallen into the water and drowned after drinking too much."

Lu Qian frowned: "Where is the Ning Detachment?"

"After the preliminary conclusion of the case, Ning Detachment just returned to Jiangzhou in the afternoon." The director replied.

"Are you planning to close the case like this?" Lu Qian continued to frown.

The director hesitated for a moment: "It seems that the case can be closed like this. After all, no clues can be found to prove any homicide. All investigation results point to current judgments."

"Is there any camera near the deceased's water?"

"No."

"Are there any other fishing people next to the deceased before they fell into the water?"

"No, either. The weather is cold now, and there are very few people coming to the reservoir to fish in this season."

"Okay, that's it first." Lu Qian hung up the phone and turned to look at Qiao Liang.

"What do you think of me?" Qiao Liang said.

"What do you think about this?"

"I..." Qiao Liang pondered for a moment, "Let's go to the reservoir again."

Lu Qian understood what Qiao Liang said. He was like himself and thought that Jin Tao's death would not be so simple. But since he said so in the specific case, he had no other clues in his hands, and he could not forcefully change the director's statement.

Lu Qian drove to Songbei Reservoir. It was dusk and the reservoir was deserted.

Lu Qian stopped the car at the place where he saw Jin Tao's body yesterday, got down with Qiao Liang, looked around, and then looked at the waterside.

"Jin Tao should have fallen into the water here." Lu Qian pointed down.

Qiao Liang looked in the direction of Lu Qian's finger, thinking and silent.

At this time, an old man drove a flock of sheep by here, saw Lu Qian and Qiao Liang standing here, and said kindly: "Young man, the water here is very deep. A big boss from Jiangzhou had just drowned. You should be careful."

Qiao Liang's heart moved and nodded at the old man: "Uncle, how do you know that the deceased is the boss of Jiangzhou?"

"He often comes here to fish. When I pass by sheep, I often see him. When he came to fish in the past, there were luxury cars with Jiangzhou license plates parked next to him, and there were a few bald or tattooed people around him. For some reason, this time he came alone." The old man said.

"Oh?" Qiao Liang's heart moved again, "Uncle, how do you know he came alone?"

"On the day when he had an accident, I came back to pass here and happened to see him. He was sitting alone on the shore fishing."

"Are you sure there is no one around him?" Qiao Liang asked, taking out a cigarette and handing it to the old man.

The old man lit a cigarette and took a few breaths, thinking: "He was indeed the only one at that time, but after I drove the sheep over, I drove an unlicensed car over. I looked back and stopped the car at the place where he was fishing. Two people got out of the car and walked over. It seemed that they were familiar with each other and even said hello."

"What?" Lu Qian's eyes lit up.

"Then..." The old man took another puff of cigarette, "and then I drove the sheep away. When I was about to reach the entrance of our village, the unlicensed sedan passed by me again and headed towards Jiangzhou."
