Cheng Rong Jiang stayed in Chen Xing's office, and the two of them talked for a long time. Deng Jinchun's case was closed, and Chen Xing had no objection. However, Cheng Rong Jiang didn't come to him just to talk about Deng Jinchun's case. When Deng Jinchun confessed at the end, perhaps with a vengeful attitude, he once again confessed a lot of economic dealings between him and Ceng Gaoqiang, which was an unexpected harvest of the task force. Originally, they didn't intend to involve Ceng Gaoqiang, but unexpectedly, Deng Jinchun cooperated with them.
An unintentional attempt to plant a flower failed, but an unintentional attempt to plant a willow grew into a shade. Cheng Rongjiang now had a lot of evidence on Ceng Gaoqiang, but he knew that with Chen Xing's decision, the evidence in his hands could only be shelved. After thinking for a while, Cheng Rongjiang still came over to inform Chen Xing.
"Ceng Gaoqiang went to do Deng Jinchun's work and asked him to cooperate with us in the investigation. Deng Jinchun was probably anxious and spilled everything." Cheng Rong Jiang said.
After dragging on for so long, Deng Jinchun thought that Ceng Gaoqiang could get him out. Now that he knew the result, it would be strange if he didn't resent Ceng Gaoqiang. Chen Xing curled his lips. Deng Jinchun's way of doing things was not strange. Even if he was going to die, he would drag someone down with him. Many people would have this kind of mentality.
What about the evidence about Ceng Gaoqiang? Although Cheng Rong Jiang had guessed how Chen Xing would answer, he still couldn't help asking.
"Let's deal with it first. There's no need to get rid of the evidence. Just leave it with you. If it can't be used in the future, it's fine. If it can be used in the future, we can deal with Ceng Gaoqiang at any time." Chen Xing narrowed his eyes. It was better to be prepared. The deal with Ceng Gaoqiang was a deal. Chen Xing wouldn't be so stupid as to completely trust Ceng Gaoqiang. In a place like officialdom, no one would be too naive.
Alright. Cheng Rongjiang nodded. Regarding this matter, Cheng Rongjiang would not question or oppose Chen Xing's way of doing things, but it was impossible to say that he did not have any regrets. As an investigator, Cheng Rongjiang hoped to get to the bottom of this big case, but at the same time, he also knew that he had to obey Chen Xing's needs in the struggle. He was now on the same line as Chen Xing. Even if he had some personal persistence in his career before, he had to give up now.
With Deng Jinchun's case closed, Cheng Rongjiang's investigation team no longer needed to stay in Nanzhou. Cheng Rongjiang looked at Chen Xing and said, "Mayor Chen, I'm afraid we'll have to leave in a few days."
Hmm? Chen Xing raised his head and looked at Cheng Rong Jiang in confusion.
After this case is finished, we have no reason to continue staying in Nanzhou. Moreover, the higher-ups have already called to urge us to return. Cheng Rong Jiang laughed. He was no longer the chief prosecutor of the Nanzhou Municipal Procuratorate, so he had to adapt to his new identity.
Urge you to go back? Chen Xing looked surprised, but thinking that it was an internal matter of the Supreme Procuratorate, he couldn't just call and ask what was going on. Moreover, Cheng Rongjiang was right. Deng Jinchun's case was finished, so there was nothing for them to do in Nanzhou.
By the way, the arson case of the Municipal Procuratorate, was there a result? Chen Xing thought of it and said.
No. Cheng Rongjiang shook his head. If Deng Jinchun's case was limited to him and no longer expanded, then there was no point in investigating the arson case of the Procuratorate. Moreover, the Municipal Procuratorate was in conflict, so it was not easy for us to investigate. The most important thing was that the higher-ups were urging us to return to the capital, so there was no time to investigate.
Then forget it, this matter was actually not important. Chen Xing said with flagging interest.
The two chatted for at least an hour before Cheng Rongjiang left Chen Xing's office. This time, in addition to talking to Chen Xing about Deng Jinchun and Zeng Gaoqiang, he also wanted to say goodbye to Chen Xing in advance, so that it would not be too sudden to say goodbye to Chen Xing.
After Cheng Rongjiang left, Chen Xing didn't leave the office for the whole afternoon. It was not until the evening that Zhou Zhijin came over. Chen Xing, who was about to leave, sat down again and said with a smile, "Zhijin, where have you been all day? Why haven't I seen you?
Don't mention it, I went to follow up on the smuggling case, but until now, I still haven't found the ugly man. I'm so angry that I'm about to vomit blood. " Zhou Zhijin complained as soon as he sat down.
Why, this case was set up in the name of the Municipal Government, and the progress was still very slow? Chen Xing frowned.
It was not very slow, it was always on the spot. Zhou Zhijin smiled bitterly. I don't know if I, the mayor's assistant, am easy to fool or something, but I found that the people below me were perfunctory without blinking, bullying me because I was new and didn't know the situation.
This was possible. You had just been in office, so it was normal for the people below you to think that you were easy to fool. Chen Xing smiled. He didn't care too much about the smuggling case. It was enough for Zhou Zhijin to go in and keep an eye on the case. Looking at the time, Chen Xing smiled and said, "Let's go eat together."
"Okay." Zhou Zhijin simply nodded. Most people in the city knew that he had a close relationship with Chen Xing, so there was really no need for them to deliberately cover up.
As soon as Chen Xing got up, the phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, Chen Xing patted his forehead. Before the Qingming Festival, he had just said that he could rest for a few days, but the little girl, Song Zhi, called again, urging him to go back to Nanzhou.
"What's the matter?" Chen Xing said angrily as soon as he picked up the phone.
Great Mayor Chen, do you want to give me face and have dinner together tonight? I just returned to Nanzhou today. Do you want to hold a welcome dinner for me? On the other end of the phone, Song Zhi smiled slyly.
If I don't give you face, will you directly come to my office door again? Chen Xing rolled his eyes. There was no way to say no to this stinky girl.
Mayor Chen was really smart. No wonder he could be the mayor.
…
After saying Jindu Hotel, Chen Xing hung up the phone. If he continued to talk to this girl, it would be endless. He didn't know why Song Zhi's parents didn't take advantage of Song Zhi's return to keep an eye on her and let her run around again. It didn't matter if she ran around, but she came to Nanzhou to cause trouble for him. Chen Xing now had a headache when he received a call from Song Zhi.
Whose call gave you such a headache? Zhou Zhijin asked curiously on the side.
"It's a stinky girl. You'll know later." Chen Xing shook his head and smiled. What he thought was one thing, but Chen Xing had to admit that every time he was with Song Zhi, although he was often annoyed, Song Zhi always made him feel particularly relaxed.
"Really." Zhou Zhijin smiled slightly and didn't ask any more questions. He got into Chen Xing's car.
Since there were no outsiders in the car, Zhou Zhijin and Chen Xing talked casually. Zhou Zhijin smiled and told Chen Xing that he was now at odds with Jia Zhengde after he took over the few departments that Jia Zhengde was in charge of. Jia Zhengde was not willing to lose his power just like that. These few days, Zhou Zhijin often saw him asking about the smuggling case. It seemed that he was very concerned about it.
"Jia Zhengde, you're not willing to let such a great credit be monopolized by you, are you?" Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Maybe he has the same mentality." Zhou Zhijin nodded with a smile. While he was paying attention to the smuggling case these days, he was also investigating the mysterious informant. Although there was no progress, Zhou Zhijin hoped that the informant would appear again and provide more information. He intended to use this case to establish his power. It was one thing to have the support of Chen Xing, but Zhou Zhijin also wanted to make a big move.
"Why, do you have other suspicions?" Chen Xing turned his head and looked at Zhou Zhijin. He heard the unfinished meaning in Zhou Zhijin's words.
"I can't say it's suspicion. I just think of what the informant said before. There are many people in the relevant law enforcement departments who are in cahoots with the smugglers. I'm wondering if it will involve higher-level leaders." Zhou Zhijin said with a smile.
Hearing this, Chen Xing was startled. Zhou Zhijin's words meant that Jia Zhengde was the culprit. Chen Xing pondered for a moment. Zhou Zhijin's suspicion was too unreliable. He didn't have any evidence at the moment. However, after giving it some thought, Chen Xing didn't want to crush Zhou Zhijin's confidence and drive, so he simply kept silent.
"You just need to keep an eye on the case, but you can't neglect other work." Chen Xing said with a smile at last.
"Don't worry. I have a lot of energy." Zhou Zhijin said with a smile.
