Song Yang nodded slightly, indicating his agreement: "Well, I have already found Lu Jinghai and explained all the interests to him in detail, but Lu Jinghai seemed to be determined and refused to budge! He insisted that it was the teacher who asked him for a bribe, and said that he later reported the teacher because he felt guilty."

At this moment, Qiao Jingyu's slender fingers were tapping the tabletop rhythmically, making crisp and subtle sounds. Her lively eyes stared ahead, and after a moment's thought, she asked, "What do you think of Zhang Guohua?"

Hearing Qiao Jingyu suddenly mention Zhang Guohua, Song Yang couldn't help but feel confused, thinking to himself, why did she bring up Zhang Guohua for no reason? But despite his doubts, he answered very seriously: "Secretary Zhang is the teacher's best friend. Not only have they known each other for a long time, but they have also worked together for many years. It can be said that they are close and have a tacit understanding."

"So, Zhang Guohua is still serving as the secretary?" Qiao Jingyu asked.

"That's right." Song Yang nodded affirmatively.

Qiao Jingyu frowned slightly, and quickly recalled what happened in her previous life. She remembered that around this time, the army was about to launch a fierce election campaign for the secretary general. Thinking of this, she asked again: "It shouldn't be long before your army starts the election for the secretary general, right?"

"Yes, next week."

"So who do you think has the greatest chance of being elected secretary-general this time?" Qiao Jingyu asked.

"Of course it's the teacher!" Song Yang blurted out, his face filled with pride, his eyes full of admiration and respect for Mu Kaiyuan, "The teacher has always been meticulous in his work, and treats everyone very kindly, and his noble character is simply unmatched..." Song Yang became more and more excited as he spoke.

"What about other people besides Uncle Mu?" Qiao Jingyu interrupted Song Yang's endless praise at the right time and raised another key question.

Hearing this, Song Yang seemed to have suddenly pressed the pause button, and his originally excited emotions instantly cooled down. He had indeed never thought about this question before, and was a little stunned for a moment. After a long silence, he slowly said: "Besides the teacher, it should be Secretary Zhang..." Halfway through his words, a bold guess suddenly flashed through Song Yang's mind, and he suddenly realized why Qiao Jingyu asked this question, "Do you mean Zhang Guohua..." Song Yang did not finish the rest of the words, but the meaning was self-evident.

Qiao Jingyu did not respond verbally, but nodded slightly, tacitly agreeing with Song Yang's guess. The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere became solemn.

Bribery also carries criminal liability, so Lu Jinghai denied it at first. He must have been afraid of going to jail, but after the incident, he knew he couldn't escape. Someone must have promised him some benefits, so he admitted to bribery and even dragged Mu Kaiyuan into it.

Now it seems that the person who promised him benefits must be Zhang Guohua.

The reason why Qiao Jingyu was able to determine that Zhang Guohua was the mastermind behind the incident was that in her previous life, all the crimes committed by Zhang Guohua were finally investigated one by one. It was at that time that she realized that it was Zhang Guohua who secretly framed Mu Kaiyuan. However, now that she is in the present, all of this is just her own speculation, and she can't produce any solid evidence to prove it. If she rashly said this, I'm afraid no one would choose to believe what she said.

There is no doubt that the person with the most motive for committing the crime is Zhang Guohua. Before this, Song Yang had never thought about the problem in this direction. When he heard Qiao Jingyu's story, he couldn't help but feel that there were indeed many puzzling doubts in this matter.

This incident happened too suddenly, and it happened that Commander Fu was out on a mission and not in the army. Because of this, the right to handle this matter fell into the hands of Staff Officer Wang, and Zhang Guohua assisted him.

In the first moments after the incident, Zhang Guohua showed an extremely shocked look, and even declared with full confidence that Mu Kaiyuan would never do such a thing. However, as the follow-up investigation gradually unfolded, Zhang Guohua advised Staff Officer Wang: "This matter is ultimately an internal affair of our army. If it is accidentally publicized by some people with ulterior motives, it will inevitably cause great damage to the reputation of our entire army. Therefore, I suggest that this matter should be properly handled as soon as possible." Coincidentally, Staff Officer Wang and Zhang Guohua are from the same hometown. Based on this friendship and his recognition of Zhang Guohua's words, Staff Officer Wang finally adopted his opinions.

But if they are really good friends, then when his friend may be framed, he should try his best to help delay time, even if he is not looking for evidence. However, he is urging the case to be closed as soon as possible, which is obviously wrong.

But all these are just their speculations, there is no evidence!

Just as Song Yang was racking his brains to think about how to deal with the current situation, Qiao Jingyu spoke again: "Brother Song, could you please do me a favor and get me some information about Lu Jinghai's family. It would be best if it covers his family's daily habits, hobbies, etc. In short, the more detailed the better."

Hearing this, Song Yang asked suspiciously, "The person who bribed this time was Lu Jinghai, why are you investigating the relevant information of her family?"

Qiao Jingyu explained calmly, "It's hard to find a breakthrough point with Lu Jinghai now, so the only thing we can do now is to try to find an opportunity from his family."

Hearing this, Song Yang was shocked. He suddenly realized that the seemingly petite and weak girl in front of him was much more outstanding and powerful than he had imagined. Is she really just Mu Xuefei's classmate? She doesn't look like a 20-year-old college student at all! Facing such a difficult matter, she was able to be so calm and composed, her thoughts were clear, and her logic was even more seamless.

After thinking for a while, Song Yang responded, "Okay, no problem, I'll arrange for someone to go investigate."

Not long after, Song Yang came back after finishing the call. Before he could even stand still, Qiao Jingyu asked, "So, how long will it take Uncle Mu to complete the entire process of this case?"

Song Yang's expression became more serious at this time, and he said slowly: "In the slowest case, we may have to wait until the day after tomorrow to get a final conclusion. If it goes smoothly, maybe we can know the result tomorrow afternoon."

Qiao Jingyu said solemnly, "Our top priority now is to delay the closing of the case. Do you have any good ideas?"
