The square-faced policeman was stunned for a moment. Although Quannan District, Nanming District and Haiming District were bordered by Quannan District, Xinlin Town, which was located on the edge of Quannan District, was far from the city center. The square-faced policeman, the deputy director of the small town police station, obviously did not know Chen Xing, the mayor. When he heard Zeng Ping's words, the square-faced policeman was stunned and did not come back to his senses.
Ha, you are the mayor? Then I am the governor. Who are you trying to fool? The sharp sneer was particularly harsh in this suddenly silent atmosphere. The man with the earring pointed at Chen Xing and laughed disdainfully. He had never seen the district mayor, so he obviously did not have any specific concept of the mayor. Apart from knowing that it was a very big official, he, who was illiterate, did not have much awe at all. At this moment, when he heard Huang Haicai's words, the man with the earring laughed very wildly.
"Shut up, Chicken Head." The square-faced policeman's face was ugly, and he growled at the man with the earring.
At this time, Zeng Ping was calling back to the Municipal Government office to check the phone number of the director of the Quannan District Public Security Bureau. He had just taken over the work of the director of the government office, so he could not completely remember the main leaders of the districts. Before serving as the director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, Zeng Ping mainly came into contact with the cadres of the environmental protection system. As for the party and government leaders such as the district party secretary and district mayor, Zeng Ping also had an impression of them, but specifically, the director of the Public Security Bureau, Zeng Ping really only knew one or two.
After Zeng Ping asked someone to find the phone number, and then called Liao Jiangjun, the director of the Quannan District Public Security Bureau. He couldn't help but pat his forehead. How could he be so stupid? He had the phone number of the district party committee secretary and district mayor. Why didn't he just call Lin Sanming, the head of the Quannan District Public Security Bureau?
The mayor had already called him. After the phone call, Zeng Ping walked to Chen Xing and said.
Chen Xing nodded indifferently. He was very angry. Why didn't he just say that he was the mayor? Why did he say that he was the mayor of the Nanzhou City People's Government? It was not that he wanted to show off, but he wanted to emphasize that the people's government was the people's government, and the mayor was the people's mayor.
Are you really the mayor? The square-faced policeman's face was still a little bewildered, but there was no doubt that there was now a hint of fear. At this point, it was rare for him to slap himself in the face. All he cared about was eating, drinking, and having fun. Why didn't he have more political awareness? His family had spent a lot of money to buy this position, and he spent most of his time eating and drinking. He didn't even know the name of the mayor. If he hadn't heard the last call made by Zeng Ping, and how he addressed the person on the other end of the line as Liao Jiangjun, the square-faced policeman would probably still be in disbelief.
The square-faced policeman did not know the mayor's name, but he knew the name of the sub-bureau chief, Liao Jiangjun. Liao Jiangjun was his superior's superior, and they had interacted with each other a few times. There was no reason for the square-faced policeman to not know about the Zeng Ping call.
Do you think the mayor can be impersonated so easily? Zeng Ping said coldly as he stared at the square-faced policeman in front of him. He was a little worried about the other party's intelligence. Did he not think about it? Would anyone pretend to be the mayor in front of a policeman? Wasn't this just an old man eating arsenic and tired of living?
Chief Liu, I think they're just fooling around. Who would believe that he's the mayor? I'll bring some men to beat them up. Let's see if they still dare to talk nonsense. The man with the earring said angrily.
Chicken head, if you say another word, believe it or not, I'll send you to jail for a few days. The square-faced policeman's face darkened. This b * stard in front of him only knew how to make trouble for him.
As the square-faced policeman said this, he turned to look at Chen Xing. His expression kept changing, and he couldn't bring himself to do it. Most importantly, he wasn't a hundred percent sure that Chen Xing was the mayor. If Zeng Ping's call was fake, and it was purely a bluff, then he, Liu Zhangwang, would become a laughing stock. He would be scared witless by the fake mayor, and he would become a laughing stock in the future.
Just as Zeng Ping had said, Liu Zhangwang's intelligence was really worrying for him. However, he couldn't be blamed. He hadn't graduated from high school, and his grades had always been at the bottom of his class. His current college diploma was bought with money, and his position as the deputy chief was also bought with money. At critical moments, his brain really wasn't enough.
Chen Xing didn't care about this policeman who seemed to be in cahoots with the hooligans. He looked at the injured man on the ground, and bent over to pull him up. Are you alright?
I'm … I'm fine. The man answered timidly, as if he wanted to say something. However, when he saw the policemen and the hooligans at the side, he immediately lowered his head in fear.
Time was in a stalemate. The square-faced policeman finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He said, "Well, this person is a criminal suspect we caught. We'll bring him back to the station first."
Criminal suspect? Chen Xing sneered. Since when did the police have to chase and beat suspects to catch criminals? Also, why are almost all the people who catch criminals are auxiliary police? Moreover, do the police need to mix with hooligans and beat people together to catch criminals?
As the mayor, Chen Xing at least knew the basic common sense. When the police went out, there must be two or more official policemen. If the police force wasn't enough, they could bring some auxiliary police. Among the people in front of him, there was only one official policeman. In addition to what he had seen with his own eyes, Chen Xing wouldn't believe that they were really catching criminals.
"The police force of our police station is relatively tight, so we can only be flexible. As for these people, they happen to be familiar with the situation in this area. It's normal that we need their help." Liu Zhangwang rolled his eyes. No matter whether the person in front of him was a real mayor or a fake one, he had already decided to escape. Thinking of this, Liu Zhangwang turned to the others and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring the person back to the station."
"Let's see who dares to make a move." Chen Xing was furious. A small town police station had become so lawless.
Chen Xing had been in a high position for a long time. At this time, he had his own majesty. With an angry shout, the others were shocked for a moment.
The square-faced policeman's face was gloomy. He didn't dare to mess around with Chen Xing. Whether Chen Xing's identity was real or not, he didn't dare to gamble. However, his subconscious told him that if he didn't take the person away, something big might happen.
"Hurry up and take the person away. Don't dawdle." The square-faced policeman finally scolded.
At this moment, Zeng Ping's mobile phone rang. He picked up the phone and found it was Liao Jiangjun, the director of the Quan Nan District Public Security Bureau. Liao Jiangjun had arrived in the area of Xiangshi Village, but he didn't know the specific location of Zeng Ping and the others. Zeng Ping asked him to drive along the road. He was about to say something, but Liao Jiangjun said that he had seen them and hung up the phone soon.
Soon, a black Honda car with a government license plate stopped by the roadside. Liao Jiangjun ran out of the car. When he came to Chen Xing, he was sweating profusely. No one knew whether it was because he was anxious or because he really sweated.
"Mayor Chen." Liao Jiangjun greeted him respectfully. As the director of the branch, if he didn't know Chen Xing, he could directly buy a piece of tofu and kill himself.
Liao Jiangjun stood modestly and glanced at the scene secretly. He didn't know what had happened on the ground. He was caught by Chen Xing, the mayor, and even brought him, the director, here.
"Liao … Director Liao." When Liu Zhangwang saw Liao Jiangjun, his face changed. When he heard Liao Jiangjun call Mayor Chen, Liu Zhangwang's face turned pale in the blink of an eye, as if he had been struck by lightning. His eyes widened like a dead fish's eyes.
"Mayor, this is Liao Jiangjun, the director of the Quan Nan District Public Security Bureau." Ceng Ping interjected from the side.
Chen Xing nodded expressionlessly and stared at Liao Jiangjun. "Director Liao, do you know why you are called the people's police?"
"Ah?" Liao Jiangjun was stunned for a moment. Chen Xing's random question really made him a little dumbfounded. "Why are they called the people's police?"
Liao Jiangjun was just stunned for a moment. Fortunately, he reacted fast enough and quickly answered. "Because the people are the masters of the country, and the police are the servants of the people, so they are called the people's police."
"Well, you answered well." Chen Xing sneered. "Then look at the police under your command. Do they deserve to be called the people's police?"
Liao Jiangjun's face was slightly stiff. His gaze fell on Liu Zhangwang. Among the people present, he only knew Liu Zhangwang. He was the deputy director of the Xinlin Town Police Station. The Liu family was considered a prominent family in Xinlin Town. He had eaten at the same table as Liu Zhangwang before. Liu Zhangwang had been recommended to be the deputy director by Deputy Director Zhao Tong.
"Liu Zhangwang, what are you doing here?" Liao Jiangjun's face darkened. Even if he didn't know what had happened, he was certain that Liu Zhangwang and the others must have made a mess and were caught by Chen Xing. Otherwise, Chen Xing wouldn't have questioned him like this.
"Director Liao, we … we are arresting a criminal." Liu Zhangwang stammered. There was no longer a trace of calmness on his pale face.
Arresting a criminal? What criminal? Liao Jiangjun's face was frosty. As he spoke, he carefully glanced at Chen Xing. Rather than saying he was interrogating Liu Zhangwang, it would be more accurate to say he was interrogating Chen Xing.
"Director Liao, this … this person may be involved in a criminal case. We are pursuing him." Liu Zhangwang's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. Nanzhou, which was nearing October, was still hot. However, Liu Zhangwang felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't even speak fluently.
"What case?" Liao Jiangjun asked. Chen Xing was glaring at him. Liao Jiangjun knew that he couldn't show any signs of slacking. If Chen Xing thought that he had the intention to cover up for Liu Zhangwang, then he would really have no place to cry. If Chen Xing wanted to remove him from his position, it would be a matter of minutes.
At this moment, Liu Zhangwang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He stammered but couldn't come up with an answer.
Chen Xing sneered. He looked at the injured man. His expression softened a lot. "Tell me, why are they chasing you? Don't worry, no one will dare to do anything to you, and no one will dare to take revenge on you. "
The man's expression was still a little frightened, especially when he looked at Liu Zhangwang. He could faintly feel the threat in Liu Zhangwang's eyes. The man's body trembled slightly. He lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. After a while, it seemed that some kind of determination had overcome his fear. The man hesitantly looked at Chen Xing. "You, you are really the mayor?
I guarantee it. Have you ever seen someone who dares to pretend to be the mayor in front of the police? " Chen Xing joked. The man was still a little nervous. Chen Xing tried to calm him down. "If you have anything to say, feel free to say it. I, the mayor, will take care of it for you. No one will dare to threaten or take revenge on you."
After Chen Xing finished speaking, he looked at Liao Jiangjun, Liu Zhangwang, and the others. He said sternly, "Whoever makes the commoners suffer, I will make them suffer."
When the man saw that Liao Jiangjun, Liu Zhangwang, and the other policemen were all afraid of Chen Xing, he finally stopped hesitating. He bent his legs and actually knelt down. An old man like him burst into tears. "Mayor, you have to take care of it for us."
"Don't be like this. Get up first. There is gold under a man's knees. He can kneel to the heavens, to the earth, and to his parents, but not to others." Chen Xing was stunned. He quickly stepped forward and helped the man up. His face was solemn. "Moreover, we are the people's servants. You shouldn't kneel to us."
The man cried loudly. With the help of Zeng Ping, Chen Xing finally helped him up. "If you have anything to say, talk it out. Since I have come across this incident today, even if you are wronged, I will take care of it for you."
Mayor, they don't have any humanity at all. My dad and two fellow villagers were killed by a falling rock. They … they not only didn't give us any compensation, they even threatened us not to call the police, confiscated our phones, locked us up, and didn't let us out. If anyone dared to resist, they would beat them up. In order to force us to submit, they only gave us one meal a day. They … they also … The man cried bitterly and began to speak incoherently.
At first, Chen Xing and Zeng Ping were slightly stunned. Then their faces gradually became solemn. After listening for a while, Chen Xing finally figured out what had happened. In a granite mine in Xiangshi Village, more than 20 workers were excavating when a stone suddenly collapsed. The falling stone killed three workers. After that, in order to calm the situation, the factory quickly sealed off the site and prevented the workers from leaving. At the same time, many gangsters were hired to suppress the workers and prevent them from resisting. Even the police station sent policemen and assistant policemen to help maintain order. They beat and scolded the workers.
When the workers were protesting, the man took advantage of the chaos and ran out. The result was predictable. He was chased by the gangsters hired by the factory and the police. If he had not run to the entrance of the village, he would not have been seen by Chen Xing and the others.
After roughly figuring out what had happened, Chen Xing's face became gloomy. He looked at Liao Jiangjun who was beside him. Liao Jiangjun was also beside him just now. Chen Xing knew that Liao Jiangjun had heard everything clearly.
Chen … Mayor Chen, I really didn't know anything about this. Liao Jiangjun's heart trembled. He wished he could have two mouths to defend himself immediately. In fact, he really didn't know anything about this. However, Liao Jiangjun's eyes were filled with anger. He knew that this was most likely the work of the police station. If he was not mistaken, the granite mine that the man had mentioned just now belonged to Liu Zhangwang's family. Son of a b * tch, they were trying to kill him. If this matter got out of hand, as the director of the sub-bureau, he might also be punished. He would have to bear the leadership responsibility. How could Liao Jiangjun not be angry?
To Xiangshi Village. Chen Xing said expressionlessly.
Mayor, I'll transfer the police force from the sub-bureau here right now. I won't protect anyone involved in this matter, whether it's the owner of the mine, the gangsters, or the policemen. Liao Jiangjun said seriously. If he didn't express his position and draw a clear line, he would really have a problem as the director of the sub-bureau.
Chen Xing didn't say anything. He let Zeng Ping help the injured man into his car and led the way to the stone mine that the man had mentioned.
Liao Jiangjun was busy calling the sub-bureau. Seeing that Liu Zhangwang seemed to be in a hurry to get into the car, Liao Jiangjun's eyes turned cold. Liu Zhangwang, where are you in a hurry to go?
Director Liao, I'm just following you to take a look. Liu Zhangwang was about to cry.
Don't be in a hurry, take my car. Liao Jiangjun snorted coldly and pointed at the policeman and assistant policemen. He was so angry that he couldn't even be bothered to speak. These bastards, they only knew how to cause trouble for him.
After making the call, Liao Jiangjun immediately got into the car and followed Chen Xing's car. From the entrance of the village, they drove for about four to five minutes. Soon, they arrived at the granite mine that the man had mentioned. This was a small granite factory. Apart from digging, it also had processing operations. The factory was right next to the mountain.
When Chen Xing and the rest got out of the car, they saw that there were policemen and assistant policemen at the entrance of the factory, as well as some gangsters. They were gathered together to guard the entrance. At this moment, the policemen and gangsters were like a family.
Seeing that there was a car coming over, the people at the entrance were stunned. However, when they saw that the man who had escaped also got out of the car, those who didn't know what was going on obviously thought that Chen Xing and the rest had caught the man and brought him back. Hence, no one paid any attention to them. However, someone had already rushed over impatiently and cursed. F * ck, who asked you to run? Do you think you can run out of this Xiangshi Village? See if I don't break your legs.
Gou 'zi, scram further away. Liao Jiangjun's car followed closely behind Chen Xing's car and stopped. Liu Zhangwang got out of the car and saw the man who was holding a metal rod and rushing towards Chen Xing. He was so scared that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He had already caused a huge mess. If he allowed Chen Xing to get hurt, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that things would get worse.
Ah, Chief Liu, you're back. When the man holding the metal rod saw Liu Zhangwang, he immediately put on a fawning expression. He pointed at the man holding the metal rod and said, "Didn't this f * cker run away? I taught him a lesson so that the other workers in the factory wouldn't dare to think of running away anymore. What is this called? Yes, yes, it's called killing a chicken to warn the monkeys."
Liu Zhangwang's chest rose and fell rapidly. He almost couldn't breathe. Killing a chicken to warn the monkeys? I have the heart to kill your whole family.
Liu Zhangwang really wanted to cry at this moment. He knew that the Liu Family was really finished this time.
Why is Zhangwang back? At this time, a man in his sixties walked out from a five-story building that was built in a very imposing manner.
This man was Liu Zhangwang's father, Liu Zhangyuan.
When Liu Zhangyuan saw Liao Jiangjun, he let out a light gasp. He quickly recognized him. Ah, isn't this Bureau Chief Liao? What wind blew a god like you over today?
Liu Zhangyuan said with a face full of joy. He looked at his son and said, "Zhangwang, you invited Bureau Chief Liao back. Why didn't you tell us in advance so that we could prepare in advance? Aiya, Bureau Chief Liao's presence really brings light to our humble dwelling."
Liu Zhangyuan obviously already knew that Liao Jiangjun was invited back by his son. He had no reason to be unhappy. His son was able to invite the branch bureau chief back. That meant that he was supporting their family. He also wanted to let those villagers who wanted to see their family's good fortune see that their Liu Family was strong. What's the big deal about smashing a few people to death?
Liu Zhangyuan was still happy, but Liao Jiangjun avoided him like he was avoiding the plague. Do I know you?
Liu Zhangyuan's smiling face was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand the situation. He quickly smiled and said, "Bureau Chief Liao, you don't know me, but I know you. We've met before, so you probably don't have any impression of me.
I don't know when I've met you, so please don't try to claim friendship with me. " Liao Jiangjun said coldly and quietly glanced at Chen Xing.
Chen Xing's eyes stopped on Liao Jiangjun's face for a moment, then he quickly walked towards the gate of the factory.
Mayor … Mayor, why don't you come to my house first? Liu Zhangwang rushed forward and blocked in front of Chen Xing. At this moment, he was only thinking about whether he could save Liao Jiangjun.
Your house? Does he mean that this factory is also your house? Chen Xing stared at Liu Zhangwang.
Liu Zhangwang's face stiffened. He wanted to slap himself again.
Chen Xing didn't pay any more attention to him. He walked around Liu Zhangwang and walked towards the granite factory. The policemen and hooligans at the gate looked at Chen Xing and then at Liu Zhangwang. Seeing that even Liu Zhangwang had to smile at the man in front of him, no one dared to stop Chen Xing.
Liao Jiangjun followed closely behind Chen Xing. At this moment, he didn't dare to show any connection with the Liu family. Liao Jiangjun remembered that he had once had a meal with Liu Zhangyuan, but he would never admit it even if he was beaten to death.
In the factory, there was a row of eight houses for the workers to live in. It was almost lunchtime. The workers had just made a scene, and Liu Zhangyuan was so angry that he even took away the lunch that was only provided at noon. He wanted to suppress the unruly nature of the workers and see who would dare to resist. He didn't believe that they could still jump around after being starved for a day or two.
Liu Zhangyuan had never been afraid of trouble. Ringing Stone Village had always been a place with tough folk customs. The mantra passed down from the ancestors was: When a man dies, a bird faces the sky; if he doesn't die, he'll live forever. What's there to be afraid of?
In the eight villages around Xinlin Town, it had always been Ringing Stone Village that bullied outsiders. No outsider dared to cause trouble in Ringing Stone Village. The unruly and unruly folk customs that had formed over a long period of time, coupled with the fact that the village was rich in granite and the fact that most of the villagers were wealthy, caused the villagers here to be even more daring.
The reason why Liu Zhangyuan made a big fuss this time was that the families of the three people who were killed by the stone mine demanded a compensation of 500,000 yuan per household. How could Liu Zhangyuan be willing to do that? Liu Zhangyuan simply used the hard way. The workers he hired were all migrant workers, so Liu Zhangyuan was not afraid that they would make a scene. In this Xiangshi Village, if these f * cking workers wanted to unite to fight against him, it would be like the Monkey Sun Wukong who couldn't climb over the Buddha's Five-Finger Mountain. Liu Zhangyuan didn't know what kind of person Liu Zhangyuan was when he was young. At least, he was a person who had rolled on the edge of a knife.
At this moment, the workers were gathered outside the room, either standing or squatting. Every one of them was frowning. Some of them were sighing, while others were smoking cigarettes.
In fact, the workers didn't have much cohesion. Although they weren't locals, they didn't come from the same place. Even at this time, not everyone was united. In the face of the current situation, some of them had already begun to retreat and were ready to give in.
When Chen Xing walked in, he saw a group of workers, old and young, who were at a loss and helpless. Many of them were injured.
Long hours of hard labor had carved too many vicissitudes on their faces.
This scene made Chen Xing's heart ache for no reason. This was a group of people who lived at the lowest level, the most simple people.
Zeng Ping, get someone to contact the hospital and ask them to send a few doctors over. Chen Xing was expressionless. After he finished speaking, he looked at Liao Jiangjun. His cold gaze was even more bone-piercing. Director Liao, I don't care if any of those people outside today, I don't care if they are the participating auxiliary police, the official police, the gangsters, the boss of this factory, or everyone else involved. If even one of them escapes, I won't look for anyone else. I'll just hold you, the director, responsible.
Mayor, don't worry. If anyone is involved in this matter, our branch will do our best to arrest them. No one will be allowed to escape. Liao Jiangjun said solemnly. This time, the mayor was really furious.
Liu Zhangyuan walked in behind Liao Jiangjun. At this time, when he heard the conversation between Chen Xing and Liao Jiangjun, Liu Zhangyuan realized that something was wrong. When he heard Liao Jiangjun call the young man mayor, Liu Zhangyuan couldn't wrap his head around it. Mayor?
Changwang, what's going on? Dad doesn't look right. Liu Zhangyuan didn't notice his son's numb expression. He pulled his son aside and asked.
