Chapter 1448 - 1448
Xu Xiao'an called and said: "Mayor Liu, you haven't reached home yet, right? You better come back first, we're waiting for you to make a decision!"
Liu Zhizhong was a bit curious and asked: "Director Xu, what's the situation? Have you reported to Secretary Xiang?"
Xiang Mingdong's voice suddenly appeared in Xu Xiao'an's call: "Mayor Liu, I'm at the scene. You better come back first, to the City Committee's courtyard."
"What's going on?" Liu Zhizhong felt something was terribly wrong.
"Mayor Guan is gone."
"What? What what what? That can't be true?"
"Let's talk when you get here, sigh..."
"Oh, alright."
Liu Zhizhong had no choice but to end the call, feeling somewhat bewildered.
What on earth is happening?
Guan Xun is actually dead?
He immediately turned his car around and headed straight back to the City Committee.
When he arrived, the sky was already bright and the whole courtyard was bustling.
Various vehicles were entering, scaffolding and materials were set, workers were busily working, all kinds of sounds, bustling with activity.
Two ambulances were still parked in the courtyard!
Seeing the ambulances, Liu Zhizhong felt a bit frustrated. So, it wasn't just Mayor Guan who died?
As soon as Liu Zhizhong arrived, Xiang Mingdong and Xu Xiao'an approached him as if seeing their mainstay, leading Liu Zhizhong to a relatively secluded corner.
Liu Zhizhong had a solemn expression, speaking in a low voice: "Secretary Xiang, Director Xu, what exactly happened?"
Xiang Mingdong shook his head, looking frustrated, gesturing for Xu Xiao'an to speak.
Xu Xiao'an said: "Mayor Liu, the situation has gotten a bit complicated. Mayor Guan was in the office, stark naked, with his lower body burned to charcoal, the upper body was still intact. There was also a female deputy director from the second department of the City Committee's secretary office, also stark naked, burnt beyond recognition. At the scene, we found traces of an explosion. In this situation, you can deduce something, right?"
Liu Zhizhong was shocked, nodding, "No wonder, I haven't been able to contact Mayor Guan. So, he died in a love affair, right? This female deputy director, is she Ren Ximei?"
Xu Xiao'an nodded, "Yes, it's her. She was previously a female cadre with Daxi City's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, divorced and single, no children. Her parents both passed away, she's an only child. Her father used to be with the geological team, an explosives expert."
"I see, I've heard about their affair long ago, but I wasn't in a position to intervene. Director Ren was said to be demoted to a township head, but Mayor Guan disagreed and gave another mistress to him, is that true?"
Xiang Mingdong and Xu Xiao'an both nodded, indicating it was true.
Liu Zhizhong said: "That makes sense. Ren Ximei felt dissatisfied, thus orchestrated the explosion, perishing together with Mayor Guan. And then... this fire burned down, sigh..."
Xiang Mingdong also looked frustrated, saying: "That's probably the situation. I've already instructed Director Xu to strictly seal the information, not to let it slip. But what to do next?"
Xu Xiao'an helplessly spread his hands, "After all, there are two murder cases, it's not easy to account for to the organization! There's no issue in Daxi City, not much in Huayang City either, but what about the provincial organization?"
Liu Zhizhong understood, these two guys are seasoned indeed, knowing that he can handle it.
At this point, Liu Zhizhong didn't hold back, saying: "Since it's like this, let me work on it! Let's send Mayor Guan to the Hospital, claiming he'd been overworked, had a sudden heart attack, and unfortunately passed away in the office."
Xiang Mingdong nodded, "That's doable. But how about Ren Ximei? What should we do?"
