Qi Xuan did not care about Lisheng's death at all. So what if he died? What did it have to do with him?
The only thing he was worried about was that too many people had died tonight, and all of them were famous figures in Canglin City. Once this matter was leaked, it would definitely have a disastrous impact on his career. Therefore, he had to take some necessary measures to prevent such a terrible thing from happening.
It was just a matter of a few words for him to recognize Lisheng as a martyr and ask the relevant departments to give preferential treatment to Chen Xue and his two sons. However, to Chen Xue, it was a matter of survival and the future of her two sons. She had no choice but to agree!
"Chen Xue is easy to deal with, but Qian Wei is a little difficult to deal with. After all, her parents are very powerful characters and she doesn't lack money at all.”Qi Xuan muttered to himself. He was thinking about what to do.
"City Lord Qi." After a while, Qian Wei walked in with a sorrowful expression.
"Ms. Qian, please take a seat." Qi Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Thank you." Qian Wei sat down.
"Ms. Qian, I already know about what happened to your husband, Shi Jie. " I'm very sorry that such a thing happened…" Qi Xuan repeated what he had said to Chen Xue to Qian Wei.
Like Chen Xue, Qian Wei was also moved to tears by Qi Xuan's words.
"Ms. Qian, in view of the fact that Comrade Shi Jie has been working hard for so many years and has made great contributions to maintaining social security in Lu County, I have decided to recognize Comrade Shi Jie as a martyr.”Qi Xuan looked at Qian Wei without blinking.
"What is it? Acknowledge a martyr?" Qian Wei was immediately shocked when she heard that. Her face was filled with disbelief.
Her husband, Shi Jie, had hanged himself in his office. What right did he have to call him a martyr?
"Ms. Qian, I know that Comrade Shi Jie hanged himself in his office. No matter how you look at it, he doesn't have the right to be called a martyr.”Qi Xuan said slowly. "So, I want to ask you to cooperate with me on this matter.”
"How?" Qian Wei asked.
"It's very simple. You just need to keep quiet and not say anything.”Qi Xuan said. "Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock sharp, I will have the administration announce the death of Comrade Shi Jie. The cause of death is that Comrade Shi Jie was working until one or two o'clock in the middle of the night when he was murdered in his office. Do you understand?”
"City Lord Qi, isn't this…isn't this distorting the truth?”Qian Wei could not help but gasp and look at Qi Xuan strangely.
"Ms. Qian, you are wrong. This is not a distortion of the truth, but a temporary measure to fulfill the honor of Shi Jie's martyr.”Qi Xuan said seriously.
"City Lord Qi, thank you. I understand.”After a long silence, Qian Wei took a deep breath and said. "City Lord Qi, I promise you that I will never tell anyone what I know.”
"Ms. Qian, you're a smart person. I'm glad you made the decision.”Qi Xuan said with a smile. "From tomorrow onwards, Comrade Shi Jie will forever live in the hearts of the people of Lu County as a martyr!”
"City Lord Qi, I'll go back first." Qian Wei bowed slightly at Qi Xuan, then turned around and walked out of the office.
"The big problem of Qian Wei has been solved. Among the remaining people, only Zhang Wen, that old security guard, is the most difficult to deal with. Well, I'll leave him to the end.”Qi Xuan whispered.
Next, Qi Xuan used all his skills, using both kindness and intimidation, threatening and enticing, forcing everyone to accept his orders and remain silent about this matter!
"Am I the only one left?" Zhang Wen looked at the empty entrance of the city government office and muttered to himself.
He was a smart person who had been in the police force for more than 30 years. How could he not see through Qi Xuan's thoughts?
"Sheriff Zhang, come, come, please sit.”When Qi Xuan saw Zhang Wen walk in, he quickly got up from his seat and said politely.
"City Lord Qi, please take a seat. I can't afford it.”Zhang Wen was flattered and said repeatedly.
"Sheriff Zhang, there are only the two of us here now. I won't beat around the bush and say it directly.”Qi Xuan looked straight at Zhang Wen and said. "Sheriff Zhang, if I'm not wrong, you went to the scene of everything that happened tonight, right?”
"Yes, City Lord Qi. I've been to every scene personally.”Zhang Wen nodded and said.
"Sheriff Zhang, what do you think about what happened tonight?”City Lord Qi asked.
"My opinion…City Lord Qi, I think these four incidents were all accidents.”Zhang Wen thought for a moment and said. "Of course, this is not my subjective assumption, but based on a careful investigation of the scene.”
"Were they all accidents?" City Lord Qi said in a low voice. "Sheriff Zhang, since these four incidents are accidents and not murders, I would like to ask you to help me with something.”
Was it finally here?
Zhang Wen thought to himself.
"City Lord Qi, please speak." he said.
"Magistrate Zhang, there were four consecutive accidents tonight, and the four people who died were all high-ranking officials of Canglin City. If this matter spreads to the public, it will definitely cause panic among the citizens.”Qi Xuan said. "So, I want to ask you to help me hide this matter.”
"City Lord Qi, this kind of thing…"
"Magistrate Zhang, if you help me do this, the position of Chief Shi Jie will be yours in the future.”Qi Xuan interrupted Zhang Wen.
" Wha…What?!" Zhang Wen could not believe his ears.
The position of the chief was something he had dreamed of for many years. He never expected Qi Xuan to give him such a condition!
"Sheriff Zhang, what do you think?”Qi Xuan looked at Zhang Wen with a faint smile and asked.
"City Lord Qi, what…what should I do?”Zhang Wen took a deep breath and said.
In the end, he could not resist the temptation and fell for it!
