Chen Xing and Lin Hong were still staying in the club. From the gunshot to now, they stood in front of the window and didn't move. Most of the time, they stared at the crime scene below the office building. Occasionally, they would make eye contact. That was because their topics were not all about the shooting. At first, Lin Hong doubted whether the shooting had anything to do with the stalking incident they had just discussed. However, because the two incidents seemed to be unrelated, Lin Hong mentioned it and stopped talking about it. She was more concerned about how Li Haocheng would react to the series of cases involving Zheng Guangfu and Zhang Qingyang after he returned from the United States. She was also concerned about whether Chen Xing could fulfill his promise to protect her from being involved. The involvement of the Provincial Disciplinary Commission also made Lin Hong more worried.
"Let's take one step at a time. Don't worry too much. At least the current situation is good for us." Chen Xing comforted Lin Hong, who looked a little worried. They were not in the same boat. However, after all, he had gotten what he needed from Lin Hong. He couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
"It's good for you, Mayor Chen. At present, it seems that it's a little more risky for me." Lin Hong forced a smile on her face. "Even if you are Mayor Chen, you don't dare to guarantee what you said before."
"Don't worry, Miss Lin. I will try my best to realize what I said before. I'm not a person who burns bridges after crossing the river. Miss Lin, don't worry too much." Chen Xing smiled and shook his head. "Besides, if Li Haocheng doesn't know that you have stabbed him in the back, I'm afraid he will try his best to protect you. Of course, the premise is that you are really involved. However, it's too early to say this now. Zhang Qingyang has just been taken away by the Provincial Disciplinary Commission. Everyone knows what he will say or won't say. It's useless for us to think too much."
I was afraid that Li Haocheng would find out that I had stabbed him in the back. If that happened, even if Zhang Qingyang didn't say anything about me, Li Haocheng would deal with me first. Lin Hong chuckled. Speaking of Li Haocheng, even Lin Hong himself found it very funny. There was a desolate sorrow in that laughter, and in the sorrow, there was a ruthlessness. Husband and wife were birds in the same forest, but when disaster struck, they would fly separately. Even their closest lover could not be relied on, not to mention that the two of them could not even be considered lovers. The relationship of lovers that had lasted for many years was about to come to an end. Lin Hong felt a sense of relief and the pleasure of revenge.
You can rest assured that if Li Haocheng makes a move against you, I will definitely protect you. I will not go back on my word. Chen Xing said seriously.
I am willing to believe in Mayor Chen's words, and I also hope that this matter can go smoothly. Everything is under your control, Chen Xing. If you are good to Mayor Chen, it will also be good for me, right? Lin Hong said with a smile. Her worries seemed to come and go quickly. At this moment, it seemed that she had no worries at all.
Chen Xing, whose eyes mostly fell on He Yijun downstairs, saw that He Yijun took out his mobile phone and was about to make a call. He thought that He Yijun was most likely going to call him. As expected, as soon as this thought came to his mind, his mobile phone rang. It was He Yijun. On the other side of the phone, He Yijun asked, "Mayor Chen, are you still on Nanzheng Road?
Yes, I am. Did you find anything? " Chen Xing nodded.
"Mayor Chen, is it convenient for me to report to you in person?" At that time, there would be even more vacancies. He Yijun definitely wanted a share of it. A soldier who did not want to be a general was not a good soldier. If there was an opportunity to be promoted, He Yijun would not want to miss it. Especially when there was an empty deputy director position in the municipal bureau. He Yijun did not dare to dream about that position as it was unrealistic for him. He would be satisfied as long as he could be promoted to deputy captain. However, he had not met Chen Xing for the past few days. He Yijun was afraid that Chen Xing had forgotten about him. Now that there was an opportunity to show his face in front of Chen Xing, He Yijun naturally did not want to let go of this opportunity to show his existence in front of Chen Xing.
"That's okay. I'll call you later." Chen Xing agreed without hesitation. He looked back at Lin Hong and said, "Miss Lin, I'll leave first. Call me if you need anything."
"Leaving so soon?" A trace of disappointment flashed in Lin Hong's eyes, but she did not force him to stay. Her mind was also in a mess at this time. She just said, "Mayor Chen, remember to tell me about the shooting case later."
"I will." Chen Xing nodded with a smile and turned to walk out. Before leaving the door, Chen Xing stopped again and said with a smile, "Miss Lin, I think you should go out to play these days. Don't make yourself too nervous. Maybe no one is following you. As for the shooting case at night, I think it's just a coincidence. Don't let your imagination run wild."
"I think what Mayor Chen said is right. In that case, I don't have to worry." Lin Hong shrugged with a smile.
Chen Xing smiled and did not say anything more. After leaving the club, Chen Xing asked the driver, Li Yong, to drive the car to a building not far from the scene of the crime. He did not want He Yijun to know that he had just met Lin Hong. After calling He Yijun and telling him his location, Chen Xing sat in the car and waited.
Not long after, He Yijun sat in a police car and stopped next to Chen Xing's car. He Yijun got into Chen Xing's car and greeted Mayor Chen respectfully. He Yijun looked quite excited and tried to calm down. He Yijun reported the situation to Chen Xing. "Mayor Chen, the person who was shot just now is a comrade from the Provincial Department. At present, there is no clue about the shooter. Our comrades in the bureau are learning about the situation of the surrounding shops and citizens at the time of the crime, hoping to find some useful clues.
A comrade from the Provincial Department? Chen Xing was shocked again. He did not pay much attention to the latter part of He Yijun's words. His attention was focused on the first part of He Yijun's words. Was the injured person seriously injured? Was there anything suspicious at the scene?
The injured person was not seriously injured, just a little external injury. However, a criminal investigation expert from the Municipal Bureau made a bold inference that the shooter probably just wanted to warn the comrade from the Provincial Department, but did not want to kill him. Therefore, the two shots did not hurt him. He Yijun thought for a while and simply told the bold inference of the expert in the bureau.
Just wanted to warn him? What was the motive? Chen Xing also became curious.
He could only wait for the follow-up investigation to see if he could get any useful clues. He Yijun shook his head.
Chen Xing frowned slightly. The person who was shot was actually someone from the Provincial Department. This situation was really unexpected. Just now, he and Lin Hong had discussed a few words about this shooting, but no matter how they thought about it, they could not imagine that one of the parties involved was actually a police officer from the Provincial Department.
He Yijun saw that Chen Xing was deep in thought and did not dare to disturb him. In fact, there was not much to report about the case. Right now, it was only some conclusions after the preliminary investigation of the scene. Regardless of which conclusion it was, it was still just speculation. The bold inference that he and Chen Xing said was not necessarily tenable.
"Solve the case as soon as possible. This shooting happened in the downtown area, and the impact is very bad. Don't let people think that our Nanzhou City's public security is poor." Chen Xing said after a long time.
"Yes, this kind of shooting, we will treat it as a major case. We will prioritize the allocation of police force to solve the case, and the leaders of the bureau will also attach great importance to it." He Yijun nodded. After hesitating for a moment, He Yijun boldly asked, "Mayor Chen, will there be any major personnel changes in the Municipal Bureau?"
"Huh?" Chen Xing turned his head to look at He Yijun. After seeing the hopeful look on He Yijun's face, Chen Xing suddenly realized that He Yijun also had a request, but was just too embarrassed to say it directly.
Chen Xing's pause made He Yijun's heart skip a beat. It seemed that his thoughts could not be hidden from Chen Xing, so he quickly covered it up for himself. "Mayor Chen, recently, a few of the higher-ups in the bureau have been in trouble. Now everyone is in a panic. I don't know who will be next, so I also want to gossip.
As long as you sit upright, naturally, nothing will happen. " Chen Xing said indifferently, "Yijun, don't let your imagination run wild. Perform well. What is yours will be yours."
"Yes, yes, Chen Xing, you are right to criticize." He Yijun laughed dryly and did not dare to refute half a word.
