Not long after Xiao Yuanqing finished cursing in his heart, the police siren rang loudly. A few police cars were approaching from a distance. When Xiao Yuanqing saw them, he heaved a sigh of relief. It was better to be safe than sorry. With the arrival of the police, Chen Xing's safety would be guaranteed. He was worried just now, but now he could finally relax.
The arrival of the police car caused a commotion among the villagers. Some of them were cursing at Chen Xing, and it was obvious that they were targeting Chen Xing. Today was like a repeat of yesterday. Chen Xing started off nicely, but after a while, the police arrived.
Chen Xing turned his head and looked at Xiao Yuanqing. When he saw Xiao Yuanqing nodding slightly, Chen Xing realized that Xiao Yuanqing had taken the initiative to call the police. He sighed in his heart. Chen Xing did not blame Xiao Yuanqing for taking the initiative. Xiao Yuanqing did this out of consideration for his safety.
The police quickly formed a human wall at the scene. Zhao Shiming, the secretary of the Nangang District Committee, Chen Guirong, and several other leaders of the district also came. Zhao Shiming, Chen Guirong, and the others had their own thoughts about Chen Xing coming to Big Head Village without informing the district. Yesterday, Li Haocheng had called to criticize the district for dereliction of duty. They had not discovered the villagers' abnormal movements in time and strictly controlled them, which caused the villagers to block the entrance of the Municipal Government. Li Haocheng had severely criticized Chen Guirong over the phone. Chen Guirong could only reflect on his mistakes over the phone and promise that it would not happen again. He did not expect Chen Xing to come to Big Head Village without saying a word. Chen Guirong was secretly alarmed.
"Mayor, after what happened today, I'm afraid I can't stay here anymore." Xiao Yuanqing whispered in Chen Xing's ear.
"Let's go back." Chen Xing shook his head. He understood what Xiao Yuanqing meant. If the villagers were not given an explanation for Song Yi's death in the Public Security Bureau, they would not let it go. Today, they could not inspect the pollution situation here as planned. Chen Xing also needed to go back and find out what happened to Song Yi.
Zhao Shiming, the secretary of the Nangang District Committee, and Chen Ronggui, the head of the Nangang District Committee, followed closely behind Chen Xing. They did not say anything when they came over, nor did they dare to ask why Chen Xing came down without informing the district. The infighting in the Municipal Government was no secret to Zhao Shiming and Chen Ronggui. Zhao Shiming was on the side of the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Shen Lingyue, while Chen Ronggui was close to the Executive Deputy Mayor, Li Haocheng. Naturally, they were not on the same page. They followed behind Chen Xing with different thoughts.
Chen Xing, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and walked back to the villagers. Chen Xing said solemnly, "The city will definitely investigate Song Yi's death. I've said a lot just now, and I'll repeat it again. As long as Song Yi's death is not natural, the city will give you a satisfactory explanation."
After a pause, Chen Xing continued, "Some of you said that officials will ride roughshod over ordinary people. I believe that such a phenomenon exists. Some of our officials came from ordinary peasant families, but when they become officials and have a little power in their hands, they think that they are superior to others. They think that they are superior and ordinary people are inferior. They have separated themselves from the masses and forgotten their ancestors. There is an old saying that we China people, regardless of whether we are farmers now or not, were mostly farmers three generations ago. Those who think that they are superior, in fact, have forgotten their ancestors. Such people are sad and pitiful. I don't care about other places, but in Nanzhou, if you encounter such a thing, you can come to me. "
As Chen Xing spoke, he glanced at the villagers. He was willing to make decisions for the villagers. Although he had lived in the city for as long as he could remember, his father came from the countryside. His family was also a worker and farmer's family. Deep in his heart, Chen Xing sympathized with the villagers. He sympathized with the vulnerable groups. Another important aspect was related to Chen Xing's ideal of becoming an official and his belief in being an official.
You will also be going to the city later, so take our car. " Chen Xing walked towards Song Yi's parents. They were Song Yi's family, so they definitely had to go to the city to deal with the aftermath. He turned to look at Zhao Shiming and Chen Ronggui. Chen Xing didn't care what the people from the district were thinking. He directly ordered, "Your district will arrange two cars to send them to the city."
Zhao Shiming and Chen Guirong looked at each other, then at each other. For a moment, they forgot to reply to Chen Xing.
Chen Xing frowned. What? Is there a problem?
No problem.
Yes, no problem, Mayor Chen. I'll get someone to arrange a car later. Chen Guirong forced a smile.
Chen Xing nodded. Without looking at Zhao Shiming and the others, he said to Xiao Yuanqing, "Yuanqing, give them my number."
After doing this, Chen Xing felt a little relieved. He got in the car and left. The car started slowly. Looking at the thick gray smoke coming out of the chimney of the chemical plant not far away, Chen Xing's heart sank again.
It was almost noon when he returned to the city. Instead of rushing back to the office, Chen Xing asked Li Yong to drive the car to the Public Security Bureau. At this time, the press conference had just finished in the meeting room of the Public Security Bureau. When Chen Xing's car entered the meeting room, he saw a large group of reporters coming out of the building of the Public Security Bureau. Chen Xing didn't know what happened, but he didn't care about it. He walked into the building of the Public Security Bureau.
Deng Qingming had already called the staff of the Public Security Bureau. The executive deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, Zhang Qingyang, came out to greet them in person. Zhang Qingyang suppressed the surprise in his heart and greeted Chen Xing with a smile. Mayor Chen, why are you here?
Why can't I come? Chen Xing glanced at Zhang Qingyang.
No, I didn't mean that. Zhang Qingyang smiled embarrassedly. He wanted to slap himself. He knew that Chen Xing didn't like him, but he still didn't know how to be careful with his words.
Director Zhang, yesterday, a man named Song Yi, who was arrested by you, died in the interrogation room. What happened? Chen Xing asked as he walked. In the corridor, Chen Xing happened to meet He Yijun, who was walking towards him. He Yijun was obviously stunned for a moment. He lowered his head and walked over. Neither of them deliberately showed anything.
It turned out that Mayor Chen came for this matter. Mayor Chen, didn't you know? Our bureau just held a press conference to announce this matter. Zhang Qingyang looked at Chen Xing and He Yijun. He led Chen Xing to his office and explained.
Chen Xing was stunned by Zhang Qingyang's words. He stared at Zhang Qingyang in confusion. At this time, both of them walked into the office. Chen Xing said calmly, "Then tell me what happened.
Mayor Chen, look. This is the autopsy report made by our bureau's forensic doctor. " Zhang Qingyang picked up a report from his desk and handed it to Chen Xing.
Primary cardiomyopathy? The deceased had heart disease? Chen Xing stared at Zhang Qingyang for a while and continued to read the report. Chen Xing's face gradually darkened. He said angrily, "Interrogating the deceased overnight and beating the deceased. Director Zhang, are the policemen in your bureau hooligans or gangsters?"
Mayor Chen, the quality of police officers varies, and there are definitely cases of some police officers knowingly breaking the law. At the press conference just now, our bureau reported this matter to the reporters truthfully and made an apology. As for the two police officers involved, the bureau's party committee has decided to expel them from the police force after a preliminary study. Currently, the matter is still under further investigation. As long as there are other people involved, our bureau will punish them severely. Zhang Qingyang answered Chen Xing's words seriously. Because he had reached a consensus with Li Haocheng in advance, Zhang Qingyang responded calmly to Chen Xing's questions.
"You've already reported this matter to the public?" Chen Xing was really stunned this time. The incident happened in the morning. The Public Security Bureau held a press conference in such a short time and reported this matter to the public in time. This was obviously beyond Chen Xing's expectation. The seemingly quick and accurate response was somewhat abnormal in Chen Xing's eyes.
"Well, after the incident, the bureau thought it was better to announce it to the public in time. The more one is afraid of something, the worse it will be. Covering it up is not the best solution. When the media exposes it, they will fall into a passive position. The leadership of our bureau agreed that the best way to deal with it is to report it proactively." Zhang Qingyang said solemnly.
Chen Xing stared at Zhang Qingyang for a while and didn't know what to say. Originally, he wanted to question Zhang Qingyang angrily, but Zhang Qingyang's answer and the way the Public Security Bureau handled it were flawless. Even Chen Xing was shocked by the quick and accurate response of the Public Security Bureau.
Was this done by two policemen who handled the case without permission? Chen Xing asked.
"Mayor Chen, you may not have paid attention to what I said just now. At present, the bureau is still further investigating this matter. The two policemen involved must be directly responsible, so the bureau will punish them first. In the follow-up investigation, as long as other people are involved, even if they are middle or senior leaders of the bureau, the bureau will resolutely punish them." Zhang Qingyang said solemnly.
Chen Xing was silent for a while. Zhang Qingyang's answer was impeccable. Even if Chen Xing wanted to find fault, he couldn't.
Song Yi's family should also be in your bureau. You have to explain to the deceased's family patiently. In the end, Chen Xing could only say so.
"Mayor Chen, don't worry. We can understand the feelings of the deceased's family. If they have any dissatisfaction or extreme actions, we can understand." Zhang Qingyang said.
