In the quiet cafe, light music was playing in the hall, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
He Yijun, the captain of the First Team of the Criminal Police University, still met Chen Xing at the same place as last time. He didn't choose to go to the Municipal Government, because there were many people in the Municipal Government. If He Yijun appeared in Chen Xing's office, some people would notice it. In addition, Chen Xing personally added He Yijun's name to the list of the team, so it was inevitable that people would be suspicious.
Mayor, although I'm also on the list of the team, I still can't get involved. Zhang Qingyang is in charge of the specific arrangements and deployments. Whatever he says, I can't say anything. I'm afraid that he will be suspicious. A few days ago, you added me to the list of the Special Crackdown Team. When I went back, he specially called me over to test me. Fortunately, in the end, he didn't suspect anything. In his eyes, I guess he also thinks that there can't be any relationship between you and me. He Yijun said.
I asked him to send me the specific arrangements for the team. After reading them, I didn't find anything wrong. What do you mean? What's wrong? Chen Xing looked at He Yijun in confusion.
There was nothing wrong with what was written in the paper, but there was a problem when it was put into practice. For example, the owners of some entertainment places had a close relationship with Zhang Qingyang and even his right-hand men. Before the inspection, the owners of those entertainment places would get the news one day in advance. When they were all prepared, the police station would send people to inspect them. Naturally, there would be no problem. He Yijun shook his head helplessly. The real problems could be found in some small places, such as some small hair salons, small game halls, unlicensed Internet cafes, and so on. Zhang Qingyang specifically targeted those small places and arrested a lot of people.
There are policies at the top, and there are countermeasures at the bottom. This saying really applies everywhere. Chen Xing frowned. Zhang Qingyang really dared to fool him. The document that was sent to his office detailed the recent deployment and arrangements of the crackdown. After reading it, Chen Xing could not find any fault with it and nodded to show his approval on the spot. Zhang Qingyang also vowed that he would strictly follow the established plan and arrangements when he went back. The crackdown this time had to make a big impact and create a safe and comfortable environment for the common people. For this purpose, he even invited the city TV station to film the scene. The reason why Zhang Qingyang was so confident was that he had colluded with the people from the entertainment places in advance. If they caught some cats and dogs, they could report on the TV station how many people they had arrested today, whether they were suspected of prostitution, gambling or other criminal activities. When the common people saw this, they would even say, "Yo, this crackdown is serious."
Yijun, how much do you know about Zhang Qingyang? Do you know which entertainment venues he's involved with? Chen Xing raised his head and looked at He Yijun.
I knew that Zhang Qingyang usually went to Haitian Hotel the most. This wasn't a secret in the Public Security Bureau. Some people even joked that Zhang Qingyang had moved his office to Haitian Hotel. Throughout the year, the time he spent in Haitian Hotel wasn't any less than the time he spent in the Public Security Bureau. Seeing that Chen Xing took the initiative to ask about this, He Yijun was eager to expose more of Zhang Qingyang's misdeeds. The behind-the-scenes boss of Haitian Hotel is Zheng Guangfu. This person is also quite famous in the business world of Nanzhou City. Hey, he is just a gangster boss in a glamorous coat. Now that his business is big, he is also known as a well-known entrepreneur. He is also the president of Nanzhou City Entrepreneurs Association. He has a lot of titles.
Haitian Hotel? Chen Xing softly repeated the name of this hotel. This is the first time he has heard of this hotel.
Mayor, have you heard of Crown Entertainment City? He Yijun thought of the action plan at night and asked.
Never heard of it. Chen Xing shook his head and signaled He Yijun to continue.
Zheng Guangfu had opened many entertainment cities behind the scenes, all of which were managed by his key members. This Crown Entertainment City was the largest and most luxurious entertainment city under Zheng Guangfu's banner. It was located in the bustling area of Coastal Avenue and was also one of the top entertainment venues in Nanzhou. "Tonight, the bureau will organize a team to inspect the Crown Entertainment City, but it will definitely be a cursory inspection. Otherwise, Mayor Chen, you can take some time to visit the Crown Entertainment City tonight. You can pretend to be an ordinary customer and watch how Zhang Qingyang and his subordinates conduct a 'strict inspection'.
What time will the action start? Chen Xing considered He Yijun's words. It is not a bad idea to go to the scene and have a look.
The action will start at 9 pm. As a member of the team, He Yijun was very clear about the time of the action. Unfortunately, he had no right to intervene. He did not dare to do anything at the risk of offending Zhang Qingyang. However, when he thought of the relationship between Zhang Qingyang and Zheng Guangfu, He Yijun smiled bitterly. Mayor Chen, Zheng Guangfu must have received the news in advance. Crown Entertainment City is probably clean now. There is nothing illegal. Mayor Chen may not see anything even if he goes there.
It is not necessary to see anything. It is not a bad idea to see how the people of the Public Security Bureau conduct a 'strict inspection'. Chen Xing smiled. Seeing is believing. Chen Xing also wanted to see with his own eyes whether the people of the Public Security Bureau are really as perfunctory as He Yijun said.
Mayor Chen, do you want me to accompany you tonight? He Yijun saw that Chen Xing wanted to go and have a look, so he asked subconsciously. As soon as the words came out, He Yijun shook his head and smiled bitterly. It is not suitable for me to appear with Mayor Chen. Otherwise, it will be heard by Zhang Qingyang.
When they were talking about the Public Security Bureau, Chen Xing's mobile phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Zhou Yan's father, Zhou Caifeng. Chen Xing picked it up. Uncle Zhou, what's up?
Mayor Chen, can I treat you to dinner tonight? My wife and I want to thank you for your help. It is thanks to Mayor Chen that our Yanzi can escape from prison. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen to her now. Zhou Caifeng said gratefully to Chen Xing on the other end of the phone. He had Chen Xing's number, which Chen Xing gave him when they had dinner last time.
Uncle Zhou, you don't have to be so polite. As I said last time, as long as your daughter is innocent, I will not sit by and do nothing. This is just what I should do. Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. The court returned Zhou Yan's case, and the original date of the trial was naturally cancelled. For this reason, the president of the court, Zhou Ke, personally came to Chen Xing's office to explain the case. There were indeed some problems, but the court could only withdraw the case for supplementary investigation. The court could not interfere with the Public Security Bureau and the People's Procuratorate. Chen Xing was very satisfied with Zhou Ke's practical and realistic attitude.
Mayor Chen, I'm not being polite. I just want to thank you. We've been begging everywhere for the past few months, but no one was willing to help us. They just watched us coldly from the sidelines. My wife and I were so disappointed. If we didn't have such a good mayor like you, our Yanzi would have been sent to prison. Zhou Caifeng said emotionally.
Uncle Zhou, you really don't have to do this. This is what I should do. As leaders, we are actually public servants of the people. Not to mention this kind of injustice, even if it is to help you solve some practical problems, it is also what we should do. You don't have to be so polite. We can have this meal in the future. Uncle Zhou, I still have something to do now. Let's talk next time. Chen Xing hung up the phone with a smile. On the surface, he was talking and laughing with Zhou Caifeng, but in his heart, he felt a little sad. When fairness and justice, which should be the bottom line of a harmonious society, became extravagant or even unimaginable things for ordinary people, this so-called harmonious society was so ironic and ridiculous.
After Chen Xing hung up the phone, Chen Ping, who stayed beside Zhou Caifeng, couldn't wait to look at her husband. How was it? What did Mayor Chen say? Did he agree?
No, he hung up the phone. He is the mayor. I guess he is too busy and has no time to talk nonsense with us. Zhou Caifeng looked at his wife helplessly. He still had some things to say.
Why are you so stupid? You should have talked business with Mayor Chen from the beginning. Why are you talking nonsense? You know he's a big mayor. He's already giving us a lot of face by picking up our phone calls. He doesn't have the time to talk nonsense with us. You even talked nonsense to him. Do you think he cares about your meal?! " Chen Ping's face darkened. She scolded her husband.
"If you have the ability, you can call him. You are good at talking and know what to say. You can call Mayor Chen yourself. You are good at talking. Zhou Caifeng glared at his wife. He was already anxious. After being scolded by his wife, his mood became even worse. He took the phone and stuffed it into his wife's hand. He turned his head angrily.
"Just now on the phone, you told Mayor Chen to treat him to a meal. Now he hung up the phone and we called him again. What will Mayor Chen think? He will definitely think that our sincerity in treating him to a meal is fake. We are asking him to do something for us. What will Mayor Chen think of us?" Chen Ping was angry and didn't answer the phone. "You should continue to make the call.
I let you call him just now. You dragged your feet and let me do it. Now you are scolding me. " Zhou Caifeng retorted. "I was going to be polite first. If Mayor Chen really came to have dinner, we will talk to him face to face at night. If he is not free, I will talk to him later. Who knew he would hang up the phone so soon?"
The old couple's faces were red with anger. After a while, Chen Ping proactively poked her husband's arm and said, "Give it to me."
Zhou Caifeng handed the phone to his wife without saying anything. The couple always quarreled. They often quarreled because of their daughter, Zhou Yan. One blamed the other for not educating their daughter well, and the other blamed the other for not caring about their child's growth when she was young. The couple quarreled a lot, but their relationship was as good as ever.
When Chen Xing saw Zhou Caifeng's call again, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He picked up the phone and said, "Uncle Zhou, you really don't have to be so polite.
Chen … Mayor Chen, we actually have something to talk to you about. " Chen Ping stammered. She was a little embarrassed.
When Chen Xing heard it was a woman's voice, he was stunned for a moment. Then he realized it was Zhou Caifeng's wife. He quickly understood that Zhou Caifeng probably wanted to talk about something, but he was too embarrassed to say it directly. Chen Xing hung up the phone quickly. He smiled and said, "Aunt Chen, right? Just say it. Why are you hiding it?"
Mayor Chen, it's like this. It's about our Yanzi. Didn't the court say that there wasn't enough evidence? The old man and I went to the Public Security Bureau to understand the situation. We asked when our Yanzi would be released, but the Public Security Bureau said that the case still needed to be investigated. Then, they kicked us out. The old man and I thought that this wasn't a good thing. If the Public Security Bureau kept investigating, then our Yanzi would have to stay in the detention center to watch over us.
"Is that how the Public Security Bureau replied?" Chen Xing frowned.
"Yes, that's what the Public Security Bureau said. Then they kicked us out." Chen Ping said angrily. "Mayor Chen, didn't the court say that there was not enough evidence? Why didn't the Public Security Bureau release Yanzi?"
The court could only withdraw the case for additional investigation, but they had no right to ask the Public Security Bureau to release Yanzi. Chen Xing explained to Chen Ping, but he was a little annoyed in his heart. "The people from the Nanming District Public Security Bureau are really lawless."
"Mayor Chen, what should we do? The Public Security Bureau won't release Yanzi. Then our Yanzi will be kept in the detention center. What's the difference between that and being in prison?" Chen Ping was also anxious. "Mayor Chen, it must be Zhang Xinjun who is not willing to give up and is playing tricks behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could this happen?" Mayor Chen, you must help us again.
Listening to Chen Ping's crying, Chen Xing also smiled bitterly. He could only comfort her on the phone until he promised her that he would pay more attention to the case. Chen Ping's mood calmed down a little. She hung up the phone with a burst of gratitude.
"Mayor Chen, what's the matter?" He Yijun looked at Chen Xing in confusion. He heard that Chen Xing's words involved the court and the Public Security Bureau, so he couldn't help but be curious.
It was also a troublesome case. Chen Xing shook his head and told He Yijun what had happened.
After listening to the general situation, He Yijun immediately smiled and said, "Mayor Chen, it seems that you don't understand the relevant laws and regulations very well. In fact, there is no need to have such a headache. Supplementary investigations are limited to two times, and the time limit for each time cannot exceed one month. When the second time is returned due to insufficient evidence, the Public Security Bureau can no longer submit the case to the Procuratorate. At that time, they can ask the Public Security Bureau to change the coercive measures. Generally, it will be changed to residential surveillance or bail pending trial. Of course, at this time, it does not mean that the case is over. It is just a form of release, but the case is not over.
Only when the Public Security Bureau really withdraws the case will the case be considered over. According to my experience, according to what Mayor Chen said just now, the Public Security Bureau will basically not release the person after the first time is returned for supplementary investigation. What's more, what Mayor Chen said may have something to do with Deputy Mayor Zhang. "
He Yijun introduced the relevant laws and regulations he was familiar with to Chen Xing. As for whether it had something to do with Deputy Mayor Zhang Xinjun, He Yijun dared not mention it out of caution. Chen Xing also limited himself to guessing. In the case that he did not know much about the case, He Yijun dared not speculate that Zhang Xinjun wanted to frame the woman named Zhou Yan.
Every profession had its own knowledge, so he really did not understand the laws and regulations in this area before. Chen Xing shook his head and smiled. He Yijun's words had broadened his horizons. He had been in this system for eight or nine years. If he had not encountered this case and listened to He Yijun's explanation, Chen Xing would not have known this rule.
Mayor Chen, what you worry about is the people's livelihood. These are the relevant provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law. Except for the corresponding professional lawyers, only the people in the political and legal system are familiar with them. It is normal that Mayor Chen does not know about them. If you, as the mayor, do not care about the people's livelihood, economic development, and the people's food, clothing, housing, and transportation, but study criminal law, you are really incompetent. He Yijun smiled and flattered Chen Xing in a disguised way.
As a mayor, you should know more about all aspects. You don't need to be proficient, but it is also good to know more about a wide range of things. Chen Xing smiled. He Yijun's flattery made him feel very comfortable.
Mayor Chen, about Zhou Yan's case that you mentioned just now, I feel that the way it was handled at the beginning was not very appropriate. As He Yijun said this, he carefully glanced at Chen Xing. Seeing that Chen Xing encouraged him to continue, He Yijun continued, "Mayor Chen, when you talked to Executive Zhou at that time, there was actually no need to ask Executive Zhou to return the case. You could have held a trial according to the original arrangement. As long as it was announced in court that the evidence was insufficient and the defendant was acquitted, then the Public Security Bureau would have no reason to evade and had to release the defendant. Now the court has returned the case to the Procuratorate, and the Procuratorate has returned the case to the Public Security Bureau. You just said that Deputy Mayor Zhang may have spoken to the Nanming District Branch, so the Nanming District Branch will definitely not release the defendant.
What you said is not unreasonable, but with my current situation in Nanzhou City, do you think I could directly hint to Executive Zhou like that? " Chen Xing smiled and glanced at He Yijun. Putting aside whether or not he could order Zhou Ke around, to hint to Zhou Ke like that without understanding Zhou Ke, Chen Xing undoubtedly had to worry about whether or not he would be used against. Just like what he had said to Zhou Ke that day, he was only helping to respond to the situation. As for what the court did, he would not interfere. Fortunately, Zhou Ke did not disappoint him. The other party's practical style made Chen Xing have a good impression of him.
Mayor Chen's words were reasonable. It seemed that Mayor Chen had considered everything thoroughly. He Yijun nodded with a smile and flattered again.
Listening to He Yijun's flattery, Chen Xing sighed helplessly in his heart. Not to mention the Municipal Bureau, even a district branch, his words were not effective. A branch bureau chief also dared to obey him on the surface but oppose him on the inside. Chen Xing once again urgently felt that he urgently needed to establish his prestige in the city. He also had to have people he could trust at his hands. Otherwise, he would really become a mayor who was only a figurehead and finally leave this place with his tail between his legs.
Yijun, you go back to work first. This time, as long as it is arranged for you to inspect, just inspect according to the law. As for the other things that you can't manage, don't bother with them for now. Chen Xing said.
If I take action seriously, I'm afraid that Zhang Qingyang will make things difficult for me. He has long wanted to transfer me to the lower county bureau. This time, you added me to the list. I can feel that Zhang Qingyang is getting more and more dissatisfied with me. After this time, maybe he will transfer me to the lower county bureau. At that time, Secretary Lyu will almost retire, and Zhang Qingyang will certainly not have any scruples anymore. He Yijun looked at Chen Xing opposite him and expressed his concern.
You don't have to worry about this. As a mayor, no matter how weak I am, do you think I can't protect you? If Zhang Qingyang really wants to transfer you away, I will step in. Unless he dares to go against me openly, do you think he would dare to do that? Chen Xing comforted He Yijun. At this time, he definitely had to give him a guarantee. Moreover, Chen Xing also needed He Yijun to stay in the city. At least for now, He Yijun could be of use to him.
With your words, Mayor Chen, I am relieved. With Chen Xing's personal guarantee, He Yijun was relieved. Based on his understanding of Zhang Qingyang, Zhang Qingyang would not dare to go against Chen Xing openly. Even if he did not respect Chen Xing, Zhang Qingyang would not do it openly.
After leaving the cafe, Chen Xing went back to the Municipal Government. Soon, he came out again. This time, Chen Xing took his secretary, Deng Qingming. In the car, Chen Xing asked Deng Qingming, "Little Deng, how is the preparation for the investment fair going?"
It was going well. Now many enterprises had replied and confirmed that they would attend. The government office was currently making relevant arrangements according to the registered enterprises' information. Deng Qingming answered meticulously.
Chen Xing nodded with satisfaction. He glanced at Deng Qingming, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, and felt a little sorry in his heart. Deng Qingming was good at handling affairs. If it was not necessary, Chen Xing did not want to change his secretary. He could only blame the Secretary-General, Jiang Bingxuan, for being too close to Li Haocheng, and Deng Qingming was arranged by Jiang Bingxuan. It was impossible for Chen Xing not to be afraid. The position of secretary was not high, but it was very important. It was equivalent to his confidant. How could he allow others to arrange it?
