Chapter 248 Swift Death
Chapter 248 Swift Death
Multiple cameras were installed indoors, monitoring Zhou Xiangzhang's every move from every angle.
At this moment, Zhou Xiangzhang was lying on the bed, looking utterly hopeless, with several tear tracks on her cheeks, indicating that she had been crying.
Xiao Huang has seen this kind of situation many times.
The really good ones might be able to hold out for three to five days.
Generally, they will cry on the first night.
Some people are not inherently evil, but they are just momentarily greedy. If they are truly remorseful, they will cry within an hour of sitting down.
The procedure for shift changes is as follows: the person on the previous shift cannot stand up immediately; the person taking over must stand up next to them before the person taking over can stand up.
They also cannot switch shifts at the same time; one person can only get up after the other has switched shifts.
The goal is to achieve comprehensive surveillance without any blind spots, and not a single second can be missed.
The two people who succeeded him were Xiao Huang and Xiao Huang's good friend. Both of them had received word from Vice Governor Zhou's subordinates.
At this moment, Xiao Huang was sitting facing Zhou Xiangzhang's bed, with Xiao Huang's friend on the other side of the opposite bed.
There was a camera behind Xiao Huang, a camera on each side, and a camera directly above the bed, all angled towards Zhou Xiangzhang on the bed.
Comrade Huang sat upright with his back straight and his hands placed symmetrically on his thighs, looking very serious and staring intently at Zhou Xiangzhang's hands.
Zhou Xiangzhang paid no attention to Xiao Huang, completely absorbed in his own world, worrying about his wife, son, and elderly parents.
If things go wrong, the whole family could be wiped out.
I never expected it to end like this.
Xiao Huang placed his left hand on his left knee, with his five fingers together. His left pinky finger began to move slightly, opening and closing slightly.
After opening and closing his arms more than ten times, Zhou Xiangzhang finally noticed his little movements.
Zhou Xiangzhang was a cunning old fox. He could tell at a glance that someone outside was trying to give him a signal, so he remained silent, lying in one position without moving, only his eyes slowly starting to look downwards.
Xiao Huang pretended to be a little tired from sitting upright, leaned forward slightly, and pretended to loosen his waist muscles.
The indoor air conditioning was strong, and everyone was wearing suit jackets.
In this way, the little yellow jacket was opened a little.
From the angle from which Zhou Xiangzhang was lying, she could just see the right collar of Comrade Huang's black suit.
A few small words were written on the collar with a white marker.
"The notebook has been seized; you shall die immediately."
Zhou Xiangzhang's pupils contracted, and her expression faltered slightly.
Seeing the change in Zhou Xiangzhang's eyes, Xiao Huang knew that Zhou Xiangzhang had already seen the words, so he immediately sat up straight again, and the words on the inside of his suit were immediately covered by his clothes and hidden on his body.
The next two hours were extremely difficult for the two young guards and Zhou Xiangzhang.
The one who suffered the most was Zhou Xiangzhang.
He thought about it a lot.
The message this young comrade passed on couldn't possibly be false.
Because the only person who knew about the existence of the Protective Talisman was Qi Dahai, whom he trusted the most, and he only found out when he threatened Qi Dahai.
Even his son didn't know.
He never revealed anything about Li Taoying.
This indicates that Qi Dahai has either been captured or has voluntarily defected, as this is the only way the Protective Talisman could be known to others.
At the same time, the fact that this young comrade was able to pass on this message must have come through connections in the province, which only Chen Tiecai and Vice Governor Zhou could accomplish.
It couldn't have been Chen Dawei who sent the message.
The protective talisman must have fallen into Chen Dawei's hands. If Dawei wanted him dead, he had a hundred ways to do it. There was no need to risk sending a message here; it would be completely unnecessary. So, it could only be that Chen Tiecai wanted him dead.
With that in mind, Zhou Xiangzhang shifted her body; lying in one position for too long was very uncomfortable.
The message was concise and to the point.
The core issue is the word "quick death".
So, should we obey him?
Zhou Xiangzhang was no longer afraid, because once he got here, there was no way he would have a good outcome.
Zeng Yongqiang, the head of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, has personally visited once.
Initially, they asked about his son's drug involvement and his wife's assault.
The questions that followed were much broader.
For example, ask about Zhou Dongliang's relationship with Shengshi KTV, and the relationship between Shengshi KTV and Zhou Xiangzhang.
There are also questions about whether there was any transfer of benefits involved in Wansheng Group receiving preferential policies and benefits.
Even without any news, Zhou Xiangzhang won't have a good ending.
So he had long since given up hope and was no longer afraid.
His current worry is what will happen to his family if he dies, and whether they should listen to Chen Tiecai.
At this time, he was unable to communicate with the outside world and could not hear Chen Tiecai's promises.
He had no choice but to gamble.
"Comrade, I need to use the restroom."
"Big or small?"
"The big one."
Zhou Xiangzhang gave Xiao Huang a wink, signaling him to cooperate, which meant he was willing to die.
Xiao Huang's expression shifted as he glanced at the activity log form. He realized he had just gone to the toilet a little over an hour ago.
"Just bear with it a little longer; you can't go to the toilet too often."
"My stomach feels a little uncomfortable, probably because the air conditioner was too cold and my stomach got chilled."
"Bear with it," Xiao Huang said seriously. "Bear with it until you can't anymore. Let's help each other out. We're not making things difficult for you, so don't make things difficult for us."
Xiao Huang clearly didn't want anything to happen in his class.
If something goes wrong, we'll wait for the replacement to arrive and let other colleagues take the blame.
Left with no other option, Zhou Xiangzhang had to continue waiting...
Time is like water in a pot that keeps getting heated.
Zhou Xiangzhang lay in the pot, and with each passing second, her pain increased.
He asked for water, specifically iced water.
The other people on the shift didn't know he was having stomach problems, and the new shift leader gave him a glass of ice water.
Not long after finishing the drink, Zhou Xiangzhang said she needed to use the restroom.
The two men led him to the squat toilet, standing on either side of him.
Zhou Xiangzhang did have some diarrhea, and it smelled very bad.
The young man on the left went to flush first, washing away some of the water.
In that brief moment of opening, Zhou Xiangzhang used the thumbnail of her left hand to sever the blood vessel in her right wrist.
Yes, just break it off.
That's how fierce and decisive they are.
Because of the strong smell, the two comrades couldn't help but turn to the side, not staring at him, but only paying a little attention to his hands.
At this moment, Zhou Xiangzhang pretended that her legs had gone numb from squatting for too long, so she supported her knees with both hands, with the backs of her hands still facing outwards, for them to see.
With his wrist facing inward, the blood spurted out, splashing onto his body and dripping into the squat toilet. No one would look at it from that angle.
A person doesn't have much blood; it's drained in just a few minutes.
Zhou Xiangzhang began to feel darkness around her eyes, and then she fell face down on the ground.
"Something's happened!"
A young comrade shouted in alarm.
