"Mrs. Jia announced her candidacy for the Fourth District Councilor? Cao Ying, the original Fourth District Councilmember, will run for the Third District?"
Lu Ming smiled, "It's interesting."
Next to her, Murong Xue nodded, feeling a little nervous because Mrs. Jia was standing behind her, but the Bucklow family, Old Bucklow, was the chief member of the Beiguan Seven-member Committee.
Originally it was obvious that Mrs. Jia was planning to run for the third district council member, but in the end, she was knocked back by her boss.
After all, Yang Guiren couldn't come to collect the mooncakes and vouchers originally issued, which would be a mess.
Now, Mrs. Jia goes to the fourth district, and Congressman Cao comes to the third district.
The Bucklow family will definitely help Congressman Cao run for the third district, because Congressman Cao gave up the fourth district to the Bucklow family.
Congressman Cao Ying is a writer and current affairs commentator with a good reputation. He often speaks for ordinary people in newspapers and periodicals.
If it were a political debate, the boss might not necessarily be his opponent. After all, that’s what Congressman Cao does.
Unexpectedly, during the interview with the TV station, the question about being on TV had already been asked. The program had already been broadcast, and the boss expressed his willingness to debate each other's community policies, political views, etc. on TV with any candidate.
So, by supporting Cao Ying's campaign in the third district, is the Bucklo family preparing to beat their boss to a pulp in the TV debate?
"Let's go at our own pace. I've been a little busy these two days. Thank you for your hard work!" Lu Ming waved his hand.
Murong Xue had no choice but to run for council, but she was not the first priority in her boss's agenda. How could she explain this?
But Zi Zi and the campaign officials bowed together and sent the boss off.
……
On the desk, in front of Lu Ming, were two photos.
They are all half-length photos. They are wearing the kind of white shirts commonly seen in wealthy households. One is a male servant and the other is a maid. They both look to be in their thirties.
On the male maid's photo, it says "Zhao Si", and on the maid's photo, it says "Gao Si".
On the desk, the huge shadow was reflected by Fu Mosi's body under the light.
"Master, I have sorted it out in the past few days and checked the details of all the servants of the Gao family. I feel that these two are the most suspicious."
"I think Sister-in-law Gao is the most suspicious. She is Gao Yulong's wet nurse. Gao Yulong was raised by her. She once had a son who was the same age as Gao Yulong, but most of her milk was given to Because of Gao Yulong, his son had been very weak since he was a child, and he died suddenly four years ago, when he was five years old. At that time, it was Gao Yulong who had always wanted his son to endure hardships and stand hard work because of Gao Depei. , Therefore, when I was a child, I often called Gao Sao and took him to the countryside, which is Gao Sao’s hometown.”
Lu Ming nodded and listened.
Fumosi pointed at Zhao Si again, "I was originally a bricklayer, repairing the house for the Gao family, but my son is studying at Marfa University. Master, you should know that Marfa tuition is very high because of the scores. Well, the school’s brand is considered second-rate and top-notch in Donghai, and Zhao Si’s son has an apartment outside the university and lives a very good life, so I feel a bit strange.”
"Logically speaking, even if Gao Yulong did those things, at least his father should not have known about it before. Otherwise, there would always be some abnormal changes in his education, but there were no such things. So, if his father If he didn’t know and Zhao Si was really helping him, how could Gao Yulong have money to repay, or in other words, reward Zhao Si when he was just nine years old?”
"Master, I'm going to go to Xihuang for a walk. Sister-in-law Gao's hometown is in Xihuang."
Xihuang is one of the satellite towns in the East China Sea.
Lu Ming nodded: "Not bad." After a few days, he found out many things. I'm afraid Fumosi's special identity also has a bonus.
"At Zhao Si's place, I arranged for someone to get close to Zhao Si's son to see if I can get anything out of him."
Lu Ming nodded.
Fumosi chuckled at this time, "It's just that we need to pay more for the informant. Master, you have to solve it. The Liuying I chose is quite beautiful, and the asking price is not low, but I am optimistic about her and she is very good at it. She can also act in clichés, and if it really works, I think she will definitely be able to act as a kid from the fourth Zhao family, and she will be willing to be a witness."
Lu Ming waved his hand, "You can check the information, but if it involves evidence that may go to court, then whether the other party is willing to appear in court to testify in the future, our informants are not involved in this, let alone interfere or instigate. You are in federal statistics Some of the methods of the bureau are not applicable here and need to be changed. As for the funding, I will tell Minister Liu that we will give you an additional quota."
"Okay! I understand!" Fumo thought for a moment and then said: "Stuart's murder case seems simple, maybe he was framed, right? But it's quite difficult to really clear him of suspicion. ”
Lu Ming nodded. Indeed, it seems very suspicious, but in fact, unless the real murderer is found, based on the current evidence, we can only say that Stewart killed the person. If there are no new clues for a long time, that only If you can prosecute him, you will do the same as your own prosecutor.
Besides, to be honest, I am willing to believe him. The former nobleman, Pan Mila's father, should not be a murderer.
But who can say accurately about things in this world?
"The clues you are checking may be able to help him, if he is really innocent." Lu Ming smiled: "Okay, go ahead and do your work. Thank you for your hard work."
With Fumosi, I do feel much more relaxed. In the past, I probably had to do it myself to find out clearly.
Stand up and look out the floor-to-ceiling window. The sky is getting dark and the street lights are already on.
Over there at the gate, trucks were coming in and out, bringing down many tables, chairs and benches, and many people were moving into the building.
The merger with Liu Hanxuan Firm is already in the process of merging. In two days, the lawyers from Liu Hanxuan Firm will officially come here to work.
The day after tomorrow, I will also cut the ribbon with Liu Hanhuan to announce the establishment of the new office.
Of course, there are also two senior partners who were originally Liu Hanhuan, but they could not agree on their treatment and were not satisfied with the equity they were given. They have decided to terminate the contract.
There was a gentle knock on the office door.
Lu Ming responded, the door was pushed open a crack, and it was Tie Xiaojia who poked his head.
My second apprentice, nicknamed Iron Pao, was introduced by Fourth Brother Wen.
"Xiaojia, come in!" Lu Ming smiled.
These three apprentices are in a state of letting go, especially recently. I haven't seen them for a long time, even if they are in the West District of the Liberty Building.
"Master, are you free today? We would like to treat you to dinner." Tie Xiaojia said, sticking out his tongue. He probably felt that his request was too much. Master, you are too busy.
"Forget it about eating!" Lu Ming waved his hand, "That's it. From now on, every week, write me down your experience in handling cases, and I will give you comments. Every month, I will think of a case. You The three will hold a mock court, and I will be the referee on site."
"Okay!" Tie Xiaojia immediately said with surprise on his face, "Long live the master!" It seemed that he was really happy.
Lu Ming thought for a while and said, "Oh, I have a case now. If any of the three of you don't have a case, you can come over and help me."
"Xiao'e and I don't have any cases!" Tie Xiaojia said almost without thinking.
Lu Ming shook his head: "You just bully Tsinghua University and hand over all the cases at hand to him, right?"
Tie Xiaojia stuck out his tongue.
"Come over, all three of you. I will tell Daan that the case at hand should be handled by others."
"Okay, I'll tell Xiao'e right now!" Before closing the door, Tie Xiaojia whispered: "Long live the master! The master is the best!" Then he closed the door and went away like the wind.
Lu Ming smiled and looked at the files on the table. This case should be a good training for them.
Of course, they are just participating, giving opinions based on existing evidence, and have no power to investigate.
The phone rang, and it was the operator at the switchboard service desk. His voice was sweet, "Boss, Congressman Gao Debei's phone number, are you there?"
The secretary's room outside Lu Ming's office was empty, and there had been no suitable candidate. Murong Xue took it for a while at first, but after the campaign was on track, she naturally focused all her energy on the campaign office.
The secretary position has been left vacant.
So, if you call the extension number of Lu Ming's office, the switchboard service office will check it.
In addition, there is a direct line phone in the office. If you know the direct number, Lu Ming will naturally answer the call.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming said, "Come in."
Soon, Gao Depei's loud voice came from the microphone, "Commissioner Lu, do you have time tonight? Let's get together?"
Lu Ming smiled: "Sorry, Speaker Gao, I have an appointment tonight!"
Actually, it was getting late outside, so there was no sincerity in making an appointment at this time. Besides, I did have an appointment in the evening, and I wanted to go home for dinner to celebrate Bisi's eighth birthday.
"No, I'm here. Mr. Bucklow is here. Are you really not coming?" Gao Debei said drunkenly.
Listen, we’re in a nightclub. It’s quite noisy, and there are also women’s coquettish voices. I’ve probably been drinking all afternoon.
I heard a faint voice, "Tell him, if he doesn't come, don't come here again!"
The Zhongzhou language is a bit harsh, and it sounds like someone who is not a native of Zhongzhou.
Gao Debei smiled: "Commissioner Lu, Mr. Bucklow invites you warmly!"
Lu Ming pondered for a moment, "Okay, I'll stop by and say hello to Mr. Barcolo, but I do have an appointment, just sit here for a few minutes." Listening to Barcolo's voice, he sounds very young, not like he is in his fifties or sixties. years old people.
"Haha, okay, I'll wait for you!" The moment Gao Debei hung up the phone, he heard someone say: "How dare he be disobedient, haha!" But it wasn't Bucklo, it was someone else's voice.
Lu Ming smiled and loosened his fingers holding the microphone. The microphone fell on the fork and trembled slightly.
However, it is normal for the person on the other side of the line to feel good.
For an amateur who has not yet run for parliament, it is indeed a huge honor to join the bureau where Chief Bucklow is present.
Gao Depei, it may not even be a malicious intention to show off one's power, but more of a solicitation to let you attend gatherings in our circle, indicating that if you agree to some conditions, we may accept you, and, It greatly enhances your status.
Should I just give up running in the third district and give myself a remote constituency like the 49th district?
Lu Ming thought for a while, then stood up and walked out.
