Chapter 844 Li Cheng's Past

Why let Zhou Liang investigate Li Cheng?

Because Jiang Chen knew one thing clearly: as long as Li Cheng was there, he would protect Li Guang.

But it was precisely this point that aroused Jiang Chen's vigilance.

Li Cheng was a cautious person. Not only did he not draw a line between himself and Li Guang, but he helped him deal with the garbage dump issue. There must be other reasons behind this.

Li Guang must have something that can hold Li Cheng accountable!

After realizing this, Jiang Chen decisively sent Zhou Liang to eastern Guangdong to investigate Li Cheng.

Li Cheng has a very good reputation in eastern Guangdong, and everyone praises him as a good official.

Zhou Liang investigated and visited for nearly half a month but found no clues.

But he was not discouraged.

This is also the reason why Jiang Chen asked him to go to eastern Guangdong.

Wang Honghong is bold but not careful enough; Meng Guan is careful but not good at dealing with people.

Zhou Liang is a steady and friendly person, and others will not be on guard against him.

The most important thing is that he is stubborn and will definitely do what he wants to do.

Sure enough, he found out some things.

Zhou Liang took out a black and white photo from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen took it. There were seven people in the black and white photo, standing in two rows. In the middle was an elderly man. Li Cheng, who was 20 years younger, stood next to the old man with a serious expression.

Zhou Liang introduced: "The old man in the middle is called Wang Hongjun, and he can be said to be Li Cheng's mentor."

"After Li Cheng was demobilized, he became the deputy mayor of a small town in East Guangdong Province. He was upright and was excluded by others. At that time, Wang Hongjun was the deputy secretary of the East Guangdong Provincial Party Committee. He admired Li Cheng very much and promoted him all the way up."

"In name they are master and apprentice, but in reality they are father and son. Wang Hongjun has no son, and Li Cheng happened to have lost both his parents. Some people have heard Li Cheng call Wang Hongjun godfather in private. There was another time when Wang Hongjun was sick and hospitalized, and Li Cheng and his wife took care of him everywhere. It can be said that they did their best."

"After Wang Hongjun died, Li Cheng held a funeral for him."

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows: "How did he die?"

"I have read Wang Hongjun's medical records. He had heart problems and died suddenly while working late at night. The doctor said it was caused by overwork."

Zhou Liang finished speaking, his expression somewhat hesitant.

Jiang Chen asked him to speak frankly.

Zhou Liang expressed his doubts: "I also heard this by chance. It is said that a forensic doctor at the time seemed to have found excessive arsenic in Wang Hongjun's body."

Jiang Chen: "Arsenic?"

Zhou Liang nodded: "It was arsenic, but there is no evidence. I went to find the forensic doctor, and he died three days after Wang Hongjun's death."

"Oh?" Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with a faint light: "How did the medical examiner die?"

"He found a key clue in a case, and the prisoner had been holding a grudge against him. After he was released from prison, he bought a shotgun on the black market and shot him dead in front of the police station. Afterwards, the prisoner shot himself."

This is all such a coincidence.

Jiang Chen pondered: "If it was Li Cheng who killed Wang Hongjun, what was his motive?"

"It is said that Wang Hongjun had a big fight with Li Cheng before his death, but no one knows why."

In order to get to the bottom of the matter, Zhou Liang was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he did not dare to conduct a large-scale investigation, and what he could find out was very limited.

That's all he found.

Zhou Liang knew that Brother Jiang asked him to go to eastern Guangdong in order to find key clues that could bring down Li Cheng.

But what he found was not the key evidence, and he still couldn't do anything to Li Cheng.

Zhou Liang blamed himself and said, "Brother Jiang, what should I do next? It seems that what I found is useless."

After he said that, he didn't dare to look at Brother Jiang and lowered his head in shame.

Jiang Chen said, "It is useful. What you have just proved that there must be something wrong with Wang Hongjun's death, and Li Guang must have relevant evidence."

Zhou Liang's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again.

"That old fox Li Guang doesn't like us and will never give us the evidence."

Jiang Chen twirled the jade ring on his thumb and smiled maliciously.

"Go find some people and spread the news that someone went to Guangdong to investigate Li Cheng's past. Make sure that both Li Cheng and Li Guang know about it."

Zhou Liang didn't understand: "Won't this alert the enemy?"

"If it was really Li Cheng who poisoned my mentor Wang Hongjun, it shows how cruel he is. He is willing to kill people to accomplish his goals. Such a person would do anything to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"Li Guang knows Li Cheng better than we do. He also has the key evidence of Li Cheng's crime. He is more afraid than we are that what happened back then will be exposed."

The more Zhou Liang listened, the brighter his eyes became. "Li Cheng doesn't trust Li Guang, and he will definitely find a way to make him shut up completely. Li Guang knows this, and he will be extra vigilant. If the two of them fight each other, he won't be able to trip us up!"

"Wonderful!"

Zhou Liang admired from the bottom of his heart:

"Brother Jiang, you are still the best!"
