Chapter 132 Something went wrong
Chapter 132 Something went wrong
The so-called life and death of all mankind, although the narrative is very grand, but in fact Ning Zhe does not care about the troubles of the aristocratic families. When even his own life is in danger, he is always worrying about the raging flood after my death. This is a hole in his brain.
After separating from Feng Yusu, Ning Zhe returned to the hotel where Zhang Yangxu was temporarily staying in Yundu.
After the power leakage accident at Bishuiwan Manor, most of the investment that the tourist attraction development project had attracted to Gubei Town was withdrawn, and Feng Yushu's husband's company was even more straightforward, playing an important role in leading other small companies to flee. Only Zhang Yangxu's New World Group was left with a stumbling block, unable to leave even if it wanted to, and could only keep injecting capital and take over the vacancies left by other companies.
Such things may be frustrating for Zhang Yangxu, but it is just the opposite for Ning Zhe.
New World Group and its subsidiaries took over almost all the work of the project and also assumed the greatest risks. As the general manager, Zhang Yangxu had sufficient reasons to conduct more in-depth research on sensitive information such as the environment, public security, and even population mobility in Gubei Town and the entire Taoyuan City, and he was able to obtain considerable acquiescence and cooperation from relevant departments.
During the time when Ning Zhe was trapped in Wutong and Yanglao Village, the huge New World Real Estate Development Group was like a towering tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, stretching its branches among the endless hills in southern Qinzhou. Every cluster of curved branches and every root buried deep underground were claws and teeth that he could mobilize at will.
When Ning Zhe returned to his desk as Zhang Yangxu and opened the screen of his laptop, a number of PDFs were already lying quietly in his corporate mailbox waiting for his review: [Comprehensive Geological and Hydrological Survey and Research of Taojiang River Basin in 2017], [Summary of Population Mobility and Employment Information of Taoyuan City's Counties from 2015 to 2017], [Research on Changes in Consumption Trends in Various States after the Financial Crisis]... These were not what Ning Zhe wanted to see.
The Han cultural circle has had a tradition of strongman politics and heroic personality cult since ancient times. Zhang Yangxu is a strongman manager who grew up in such a cultural background. Even though he has reached his current position, he still retains the habit of doing everything himself and insists on personally reviewing the specific work that should have been the responsibility of his management.
But Ning Zhe did not have the energy and ability to steer the helm of this huge New World Group. He was just an ordinary high school student. Ning Zhe could not understand either the macro trends or the abstract risks.
What he really wanted to see were some specific cases lying at the end of some lengthy report.
The progress bar on the right side of the document was dragged to the bottom by the cursor. The time went from 2015 to June 2018. The temperature in the hotel quietly dropped, freezing Ning Zhe's lazy eyes. His sight came to a line of regular script, and the first thought that came to his mind was:
"This kind of official document doesn't even use the standard Song font typeface. The secretary will definitely deduct his salary tomorrow."
Then, Ning Zhe began to read the public security management cases in Taoyuan City in the past two months:
【2018年06月16日晚，23时37分，琴州府桃源市桃乡县治安管理所接到群众报案，有群众在桃乡县团结路114号附近的小巷中发现一具尸体】
[The report was made by four students, all of whom were studying at Taoyuan County Middle School. According to the written records, after the lights in the dormitory were turned off at 4 p.m. on the 16th, the four of them climbed over the wall and left the school, preparing to go to the Internet cafe at No. 21 Tuanjie Road to play games. On the way to the Internet cafe, one of the students smelled a strong smell of blood in the alley near No. 4 Tuanjie Road. After searching, the four found the body hidden in the drainage ditch.]
After a forensic autopsy and subsequent verification of residents' identity information, the personal information of the deceased is as follows:
【Sex: Male】
[Age: 24 years old]
[Name: Cao Binbin]
[Occupation: garment factory supervisor] [Family situation…]
Ning Zhe quickly skimmed through the deceased's family situation, love history, and work records, and turned directly to the end of the account of the case, because this was not an unsolved cold case, on the contrary, the case had actually been solved long ago.
The deceased had a bad relationship with an employee in the same factory and often used his power to make things difficult for the other employee, which can be verified by other employees in the factory. The resentment of the oppressed employee towards him accumulated over time, which eventually led to this tragedy.
It is reported that when the police entered the staff dormitory to arrest the employee, he was planning to kill the owner of a fruit shop who had shortchanged him when buying fruits.
This mentality is not difficult to understand. Law-abiding citizens who have never committed a crime will always consciously want to protect their clean records from being tarnished. Such people are generally more honest. However, this is also the case for these people. As long as they have committed a crime once and have a criminal record in the public security, procuratorial and judicial systems, it is not surprising that they would give up after their "clean" records are tarnished.
Fortunately, the case was solved in time and the employee was arrested before he had time to carry out further criminal plans. This is cause for celebration.
……Really?
Ning Zhe flicked the mouse wheel with his fingertips and saw lines of black regular script describing cases passing by on the screen: a programmer who worked overtime for years without overtime pay beat up his boss, a girl who committed suicide at home because of unsatisfactory test scores, and a man who was falsely accused of secretly photographing a woman on the subway stabbed her to death on the spot...
The mouse wheel was still turning, but the document filled with public security incidents was far from reaching the bottom. Instead, the slider on the right side of the screen was getting smaller and smaller.
Ning Zhe let go of his hands, leaned his stiff back against the soft backrest of the sofa, and let out a long sigh.
"This is just what happened in Taoyuan City in less than a month, from mid-June to early July..."
Since mid-June, the public security situation in Taoyuan City has deteriorated rapidly. A large number of violent injuries, murders, suicides and traffic accidents have begun to occur frequently. It can be said that more things happened in this month than in the entire first half of this year combined.
It’s just that Taoyuan City is vast and sparsely populated, and the frequent public security cases are diluted by the vast area and do not bring much real feeling to the residents of various counties.
Only by standing high enough to overlook the land can one notice from the soaring data how abnormal things have happened in Taoyuan City in the past month.
"The god who cannot be looked directly at... is it you? Or something else?" Ning Zhe's index finger tapped lightly on the touchpad of the laptop. The smooth glass material collided with the middle-aged man's smoke-yellow nails, making a crisp sound.
After closing the computer, Ning Zhe put on his suit jacket, stood up, and sent a WeChat message to Zhang Yangxu's son:
"Tell your mom I'll be back tomorrow. She blocked me."
