In the emergency room of Bei Zhou City's 7853rd Military Hospital, the Vice-Secretaries of the Municipal Party Committee, Guo Jinzhu and Zhang Zhiyuan, were anxiously waiting by the door. The Secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee, Hou Yongzhi, was lying on the operating table with all sorts of tubes inserted into his body. A few specialists were raising their scalpels and racing with death.
The Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Li Zhentang, walked over with a solemn expression. Guo Jinzhu immediately went up and asked, "How is it? Have you caught the culprit? "
"The suspect abandoned the car and escaped, and we're still trying to catch him," Li Zhentang replied with regret.
However, he never expected that Guo Jinzhu would grab onto Li Zhentang's collar and nearly lose his rationality. "Director Li, I'll give you a day to catch the culprit. Otherwise, don't come and see me."
Li Zhentang knew that Guo Jinzhu and Hou Yongzhi had an unusual relationship, so he expressed his understanding for Guo Jinzhu's actions and sorrowfully said, "Mr. Guo, Mr. Hou is my Master. You don't have to be anxious, but I'm even more anxious than you. I've already mobilized all the police in the city to conduct a carpet search. If we can't catch the culprit, you don't have to say anything, and I'll give up my position. "
Guo Jinzhu also felt that he was being irrational, so he released Li Zhentang's collar and sighed as he sat on the chair. "Are there any clues about the car that caused the accident?"
"We've checked!" Li Zhentang replied, "The car that caused the accident was a black car, and we couldn't find any clues. Right now, the Traffic Police Department is conducting a comprehensive analysis of the car to try and find any valuable clues."
"Tell me the specifics, how did the accident happen!" Guo Jinzhu said weakly.
Li Zhentang replied, "According to the analysis of the accident scene, Mr. Hou's car was driving normally. When he was driving on a winding mountain road, a car was speeding in his direction, which was the car that caused the accident. Mr. Hou's car was instantly squeezed into a ravine. After driving for some distance, the car was abandoned in the wilderness and the culprit abandoned the car and fled. "
"This is definitely a conspiracy!" Guo Jinzhu slapped the chair and roared, "Investigate! You must find out the truth! Arrest the murderer at all costs!"
After Li Zhentang left, Guo Jinzhu asked Zhang Zhiyuan, "Why did Secretary Hou go to Guchuan County in the middle of the night?"
"This …" Zhang Zhiyuan found it hard to answer.
Seeing that Zhang Zhiyuan was evasive, Guo Jinzhu stood up and walked to Zhang Zhiyuan. His nose was almost touching the latter's as he said in a strange tone, "Speak! What's going on?! "
Zhang Zhiyuan did not dare to look him in the eye. He stammered, "Secretary Guo, I'm not too sure about the details because I wasn't there yesterday. However, it should be related to Ma Linhui's case. The director of the Guchuan County Public Security Bureau, Jiang Yongchang, should know more about it …"
"Tell Jiang Yongchang to come here right now!" Guo Jinzhu was furious to the extreme. He was fine yesterday, but now he was lying inside.
Jiang Yongchang was outside the hospital. When he heard that Guo Jinzhu was inside, he was too scared to go in. Only when Zhang Zhiyuan called him did he bite the bullet and go in.
The director of the hospital specially prepared a lounge for Guo Jinzhu. Guo Jinzhu worked on the spot. First, he had to figure out the ins and outs of the matter.
Jiang Yongchang nervously told Guo Jinzhu everything that happened last night. Guo Jinzhu was stunned and questioned Jiang Yongchang, "Such a big thing happened. Why didn't you report it?"
The Public Security Bureau was under dual leadership. It was under the leadership of the superior public security organ and the local government. However, most of the time, it was under the command of the superior. After all, their life and death were in the hands of the municipal leaders. However, the power of the Political and Legal Committee was expanded. They were directly involved in the management of the personnel transfer of the municipal and county bureaus, and even the police stations. Major cases at the county level should be reported to the municipal bureau and the Political and Legal Committee immediately. However, it was not said that they should report to the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee who was in charge of organization and personnel. However, the other party was a municipal leader after all. It was reasonable for him to say something like that. Jiang Yongchang found it hard to answer.
And Guo Jinzhu was very clear why Hou Yongzhi was so concerned about Ma Linhui. Ma Linhui was burdened with many crimes, and Zhang Zhiyuan wanted to take him down. Hou Yongzhi did not need to mobilize so many people. Most importantly, Ma Linhui had Li Hugang and Mayor Lin Haifeng behind him.
As for the grudge between Guo Jinzhu and Li Hugang, it had been mentioned before, so there was no need to repeat it. The grudge was in the past. What was on the table now was the candidate for the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee in the future.
As mentioned before, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Tian Chunqiu, had long been clamoring to be transferred. The most competitive candidates for the vacated position were Guo Jinzhu and Mayor Lin Haifeng.
Lin Haifeng was a high-profile person with high prestige. He looked kind and had a good way of dealing with people. At least, he had a high degree of recognition in the officialdom of the Northern Province. However, it was all an act. He said one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. He was jokingly called a "smiling tiger." Lin Haifeng and Li Hugang used to be rivals because of the position of mayor. However, they quickly formed an alliance after the election and joined forces to deal with the hardliners, Guo Jinzhu and Hou Yongzhi. In order to stabilize Lin Haifeng's position as the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Li Hugang spent a lot of money and went around for him. The effect was more obvious.
Guo Jinzhu, who came from a military background, was straightforward, capable, and straightforward in his speech. He would say whatever was on his mind, and he would not hide anything or hide anything from the people or things he disliked. This caused the other leaders to have a lot of opinions about him, and he offended many people. Because of this, others gave him a nickname, "Iron Cannon". Hou Yongzhi, who was also a comrade, had the same temper. The two were isolated and fought alone.
In the event of the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Guo Jinzhu was obviously much more low-key. He was not like Lin Haifeng who went around to win people's hearts. However, it was not that he did not take action. He used Ding Changhua to take the route of the higher-ups. In his opinion, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee had the final say. Only the higher-ups had the final say. Of course, all of this was carried out in secret. Even Hou Yongzhi did not know.
As for Hou Yongzhi, he saw that Guo Jinzhu was indifferent while the other side was full of excitement. He was anxious and talked to him several times, asking him to take action in advance. However, every time he mentioned this topic, Guo Jinzhu just smiled and did not answer. Hou Yongzhi was so angry that he said something angry. He could not just watch the other side go around. In private, he also secretly contacted the number one or two leaders in the county and city, trying his best to fight for a glimmer of hope for Guo Jinzhu.
Now that he had dug out the "big tiger", Li Hugang, from Ma Linhui, he was naturally happy. Just a few days ago, he had encouraged Guo Jinzhu to take action, but Guo Jinzhu did not say anything. Therefore, he took action directly and personally arrested this matter. That was how the subsequent events happened.
Guo Jinzhu thought that Hou Yongzhi had become like this because of him, and his heart was unspeakable. The cigarette ash in his hand was almost half gone, but he did not notice it. He only stood up and dusted it off when it fell on his body.
There was too much information in this case, and Guo Jinzhu could not react for a while. First, it was the deputy director of the Municipal People's Congress, Zhang Daqing, who wanted him. Then, it was the men in black who broke into the Public Security Bureau to rob him. Then, it was Lin Haifeng who wanted him. Now, it was Hou Yongzhi who got into a car accident. Most people would not be able to do such a thing. It was very likely that Li Hugang was the one who did it.
Guo Jinzhu was angry. He did not have the heart to do anything to Li Hugang, but now he was forced to do it. Other things could be put aside, but Hou Yongzhi's car accident must be investigated to the end. He asked. "Did Ma Linhui confess?"
"He confessed to owning a gun and hiding drugs, but refused to confess to the other things." Jiang Yongchang said.
"Where did the gun and drugs come from?"
"He said he bought them from the black market in the south. This information needs to be verified."
"What about the criminal? Has he woken up?" Guo Jinzhu asked again.
"Not yet. His brain was severely damaged, and the doctors are still trying to save him. The doctors said that he will wake up by tonight at the earliest. "
"Good. We cannot give up on this clue. We must continue to investigate." Guo Jinzhu banged the table and said. "I want to be involved in this case personally. I want to know all the details and progress of the interrogation." With Guo Jinzhu's involvement, this case had risen to another level, and it had far exceeded Zhang Zhiyuan's original intention.
"Oh, and the police team that used Mayor Lin's name last night, which department are they from? Have you found out?" Guo Jinzhu continued to ask.
"Yes, it's … it's …" Jiang Yongchang looked at Zhang Zhiyuan and did not dare to speak.
"Tell me, who is it?" Guo Jinzhu was anxious, and his fiery temper rose again.
Jiang Yongchang no longer hid and said. "It's from Nanyang County Public Security Bureau."
When Zhang Zhiyuan heard this, he could not believe it was true. He went forward and asked Jiang Yongchang. "Are you sure it's from Nanyang County Public Security Bureau?"
"Yes." Jiang Yongchang said. "We found out last night. Secretary Hou asked the city bureau to investigate, and only Nanyang County has police records."
"Too bold, too bold!" Guo Jinzhu was so angry that he could not breathe.
Zhang Zhiyuan quickly said. "Secretary Guo, don't be angry. I really don't know about this. I will verify it now." After that, he went out to make a call.
"No need!" Guo Jinzhu reached out to stop him. "Let's put this aside for now. We will settle the score when the time comes. The most important thing now is to find the car that caused the accident. "
Then he said to Jiang Yongchang, "You go back first. Ma Linhui's case is not as simple as carrying a gun. When you go back, you must dig deeper. Find out the source, whereabouts, and use of the three million yuan in the car. If the other party does not say anything, you can consider taking some coercive measures. Do you understand?"
"Okay, I will go back now."
After sending Jiang Yongchang off, Guo Jinzhu gritted his teeth and said to Zhang Zhiyuan, "See? How savage and terrifying it is. It happened right in front of our eyes. If Yongzhi is fine, everything will be fine. If anything happens to him, I will turn this matter upside down. As long as it's related to this matter, I will settle it! "
This matter was caused by him, so Zhang Zhiyuan felt sorry for Hou Yongzhi. He said apologetically, "Secretary Guo, it's all my fault. If I did not want to investigate the Erbao Coal Mine, this would not have happened. If you want to blame someone, blame me!"
