Yang Hongchao stood there quietly. Zhang Wanzheng saw that Yang Hongchao didn't say anything. He seemed to have guessed what the director of the Municipal Bureau was thinking. A flash of anger flashed across his eyes, but he didn't show it. Zhang Wanzheng handed the copied letter back to Yang Hongchao. Before Zhang Wanzheng could say anything, Yang Hongchao said, Secretary Zhang, our Public Security Bureau wants to investigate this case, and we hope that the Commission for Discipline Inspection will cooperate with us. I'm here to greet you, Secretary Zhang.
How does Hongchao want the Commission for Discipline Inspection to cooperate? Should we arrest him as a suspect? Zhang Wanzheng stared at Yang Hongchao coldly.
Secretary Zhang must be joking. Yang Hongchao smiled without batting an eyelid. However, it is necessary to cooperate with our summons. I think Secretary Zhang can understand. In fact, we have no other choice.
Zhang Wanzheng snorted coldly. Liao Zhongyuan saw this and knew that Zhang Wanzheng wanted to see him off. He stood up and smiled. Director Yang, if there's nothing else, I'll walk you out.
Okay, then I'll have to trouble Deputy Secretary Liao. Yang Hongchao smiled and nodded. He glanced at Zhang Wanzheng. He knew that Zhang Wanzheng was angry, and Yang Hongchao didn't want to offend Zhang Wanzheng.
After leaving Zhang Wanzheng's office, Liao Zhongyuan walked Yang Hongchao downstairs. Before Yang Hongchao got into the car, Liao Zhongyuan suddenly said, Director Yang really doesn't want to hand over the case to the Commission for Discipline Inspection?
Deputy Secretary Liao, it's not that I don't want to, but this is a murder case. It's a criminal case, and it's under the Public Security Bureau's jurisdiction. Yang Hongchao forced a smile.
Director Yang shouldn't think that way. The case of Qin Peng's violation of discipline has been investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. If there is really something hidden about his suicide, we should continue to investigate it. Liao Zhongyuan said.
Deputy Secretary Liao, Qin Peng's family is making a big fuss. They even said that if our Municipal Bureau doesn't investigate it, they will go to the provincial government to sue. Oh, now our Mountain Gaze is a troublesome place. Whenever something happens, the people will go to the provincial government. The leaders of the provincial government have a big problem with our Mountain Gaze. None of us wants such a thing to happen again, right? This was not only irresponsible to the families of the victims, but it was also causing trouble for the leaders of the city. Yang Hongchao said seriously.
Liao Zhongyuan looked at Yang Hongchao with a slight smile. The other party's words made him feel a little disgusted. They were all people who had been in the officialdom for more than 20 years. Was it interesting to say such nonsense?
Deputy Secretary Liao, I'll leave first. There's no need to see me off. Seeing Liao Zhongyuan's expression, Yang Hongchao didn't want to say anything more. He waved his hand with a smile, got up, and got into the car.
After getting into the car and motioning for the driver to drive away, Yang Hongchao looked back for the last time. Seeing that Liao Zhongyuan was still standing there, Yang Hongchao curled the corner of his mouth. He didn't know if Liao Zhongyuan's words just now represented Zhang Wanzheng's intention to ask him again, but he had already made his attitude clear and would not change it. Presumably, Zhang Wanzheng was still angry in the office. With a sneer, Yang Hongchao looked at the letter in his hand, folded it, and put it away.
Liao Zhongyuan returned upstairs and pushed open the door of Zhang Wanzheng's office. Seeing Zhang Wanzheng sitting there smoking, Liao Zhongyuan walked over and shook his head helplessly. Yang Hongchao was really determined and wouldn't give in at all.
The more he behaved like this, the more it showed that there was something wrong with this matter. Zhang Wanzheng narrowed his eyes and took a deep puff of his cigarette.
What abnormality could there be? Liao Zhongyuan looked at Zhang Wanzheng. In his opinion, Yang Hongchao didn't need to offend Zhang Wanzheng. Now that he did this, someone must have instructed him to do so. It was easy to figure out who could instruct Yang Hongchao. Liao Zhongyuan had his own guess. Someone wanted to target Zhang Wanzheng, the new Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. The incident of Qin Peng jumping off the building would be used to make an issue to trip Zhang Wanzheng up.
Liao Zhongyuan didn't know the real purpose of Zhang Wanzheng's investigation of Qin Peng's case, so he could only make such a guess, thinking that it was another political move.
Struggle.
Zhang Wanzheng didn't answer Liao Zhongyuan's question. After sitting for a while, he said, "Go and call Zhu Wei over."
In fact, Zhang Wanzheng didn't know whether his subordinates had really tortured Qin Peng when they interrogated him. After the incident of Qin Peng jumping off the building, he asked Zhu Wei last night whether he had messed up during the interrogation of Qin Peng. Zhu Wei told him that he hadn't, and Zhang Wanzheng believed him at that time. But now, Zhang Wanzheng had to call Zhu Wei over to confirm it.
Zhu Wei came over soon. Seeing Zhang Wanzheng's sullen face, Zhu Wei didn't know what Yang Hongchao had said just now, but he had been very uneasy because of his performance in Qin Peng's case, which disappointed Zhang Wanzheng a lot.
"Little Zhu, did you really not hit Qin Peng in the process of interrogating him?" Zhang Wanzheng stared at Zhu Wei.
"Secretary, I really didn't. I can assure you that I personally participated in every interrogation, and I absolutely didn't hit Qin Peng. Besides, if I really hit him, can you examine his wound?" Zhu Wei said.
"He's dead. How can you examine him?" Zhang Wanzheng said angrily. "Besides, what do you think an injury examination can prove?"
Zhu Wei was glared at by Zhang Wanzheng. He scratched his head with a wry smile. When he was anxious, he would say something unreliable again. Nowadays, there were many ways to make people unable to examine his wound, so even if he really examined his wound, it would be useless. Thinking of this, Zhu Wei sighed helplessly. After all, he had not experienced a big battle, so he didn't have the psychological quality to stay calm in the face of danger.
The bustling streets of Nanzhou were far from comparable to Mount Wangshan. The flow of traffic and people on the road made Nanzhou City look more and more like a metropolis. When Chen Xing was mayor, he proposed the strategy of "expanding eastward and northward", which was to expand the scope of the main urban area of Mount Wangshan to the outside world and take the initial shape of a metropolis. Now that the new mayor had taken office, Chen Xing didn't know if some of the original plans would be changed, but the development and changes of Nanzhou were indeed very fast, and a large number of urban construction projects were being carried out.
The new mayor was parachuted from the province, and Shao Huadong was still a step behind in the competition for the mayor's position. Chen Xing also felt a little apologetic about this. He couldn't help when he wanted to. At that time, Ge Jian-ming had already recommended Shao Huadong to Fu Youjun, and when talking to him, he also hinted that Shao Huadong had great hope. Chen Xing thought there would be no accidents, but he didn't expect a dark horse to appear. The new mayor was the former executive deputy director of the provincial finance department. This was a figure that no one had expected before, but it should not be difficult to guess the other party's origin. He was from the same faction as Governor Shun Baolai.
In the end, Fu Youjun was going to be transferred away. Chen Xing sighed. Fu Youjun was going to be transferred to the central government. In the officialdom of Nanhai Province, this was not a secret to the cadres who had reached a certain level. Perhaps because Fu Youjun was going to be transferred, Fu Youjun didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the province, especially in the area of personnel. Otherwise, if Fu Youjun really wanted to push Shao Huadong, the Shun Baolai would also have to give in. But thinking about it, it made sense. Shao Huadong was not directly under Fu Youjun, so Fu Youjun didn't need to spend too much effort on him.
This was an ordinary three-star hotel, which had been booked in advance by the people of the Mountain Gaze office in Nanzhou. The director of the office, Han Dongfu, had also heard about Chen Xing's style in Mountain Gaze. In addition, he had often been in Nanzhou before, so he had a general understanding of Chen Xing's temperament. Therefore, he didn't dare to book a five-star hotel. If Zhang Lixing came alone, he would book a five-star hotel for him to stay in every time.
In the afternoon, they would go to the venue to have a look. Everything that needed to be arranged had been arranged. There could be no mistakes. After Chen Xing got out of the car, he said to Wu Ning, the secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee.
There shouldn't be any mistakes. Dean Han was still very steady when he did things. Zhang Li walked over and smiled as he praised Han Dongfu, who was following at the side. He was a very good person. At the very least, every time he came to the Southern Continent, Han Dongfu would always serve him comfortably.
This time, the leaders of the province would attend, so they couldn't be careless. Chen Xing smiled. It was confirmed that Governor Shun would be coming, but it was still unknown if Secretary You Jun would be attending. He would probably find out in the afternoon. In any case, they had to be on their toes and not mess up the signing ceremony.
That's for sure. If even a signing ceremony went wrong, we would have no place to put our faces. Li Kaishan said with a smile.
As they were talking, Chen Xing's cell phone rang. He took it out and looked at the number. Chen Xing was slightly stunned and glanced at the others. Chen Xing quietly walked to the side and picked up the phone. Comrade Wanzheng, what's the matter?
Secretary Chen, you've arrived in Nanzhou, right? On the phone, Zhang Wanzheng said.
Yes, we've just arrived. Chen Xing said.
It's already twelve o 'clock. I guess you should have arrived. Zhang Wanzheng smiled. He was not in the mood to beat around the bush. Secretary Chen, there's something I need you to do.
Well, what's the matter? Chen Xing raised his eyebrows. As soon as he left in the morning, Zhang Wanzheng ran into trouble and needed his help. Chen Xing was a little surprised.
A letter was found on Qin Peng's body, saying that the people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection interrogated him by torture. Zhang Wanzheng said helplessly. Secretary Chen, you need to put pressure on the Municipal Bureau to transfer the case to us.
Have you verified the authenticity of the letter? Chen Xing listened to Zhang Wanzheng's description of the whole story and frowned.
The Public Security Bureau is verifying it, but I don't think it's fake. If the letter was put on after Qin Peng's death, it can't stand up to the investigation. So the biggest possibility is that the letter was indeed written by Qin Peng before his death. Zhang Wanzheng said.
Really? Chen Xing was silent for a moment. Did your people extort a confession by torture?
I asked them, and they promised that they didn't. I don't think they have the guts to lie to me. Zhang Wanzheng said with a wry smile. Zhang Wanzheng felt a little ashamed to face Chen Xing.
Hearing Zhang Wanzheng's words, Chen Xing shook his head slightly. It had only been one morning, and another accident had happened. If it went on like this, he didn't know what else would happen.
Didn't you communicate with Yang Hongchao? He didn't agree to transfer the case to the Commission for Discipline Inspection? Chen Xing asked.
Director Yang's attitude was firm. He said that he wanted to be responsible for the victims and insisted that the investigation be carried out by the Municipal Bureau. Otherwise, he would not be able to live up to his police uniform and his sense of duty as a police officer. Zhang Wanzheng's words were full of sarcasm.
How could Yang Hongchao say that? Chen Xing was a little surprised, and then he felt it was ridiculous. The Municipal Public Security Bureau was the most serious department in Wangshan City. If Yang Hongchao really had a sense of duty, he wouldn't have allowed this phenomenon to happen unscrupulously.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Xing said, "Okay, I'll ask Xiao Huang to call the Public Security Bureau."
They didn't say much. After a brief chat, they hung up the phone. It was already lunchtime. Li Kaishan, Zhang Lixing, and the others were waiting. Chen Xing didn't have time to chat with Zhang Wanzheng.
Waving to Huang Jianghua, Chen Xing whispered a few words to him, motioning him to do it, and then walked to Li Kaishan and the others.
At noon, they had a simple lunch in the hotel. After eating, Chen Xing habitually took a lunch break. Li Kaishan and the others also needed to rest for a while. They were not in a hurry to go to the City Hall. The signing ceremony was scheduled to be held in the City Hall tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, there was nothing special except to see how the hall was decorated.
Standing in the hotel room, Chen Xing thought about Zhang Wanzheng's phone call just now and called Huang Jianghua in. "Xiao Huang, did you call Yang Hongchao? What did he say?"
"Yes, but he didn't hear what he said. He just nodded and said yes." Huang Jianghua said.
Hearing that, Chen Xing slightly frowned. "Is Yang Hongchao really so obedient, or is he perfunctorily dealing with him?" He raised his hand and called Zhang Wanzheng. Chen Xing guessed that Zhang Wanzheng might not even be in the mood to take a lunch break now. Even he was a little annoyed, not to mention Zhang Wanzheng who was badly battered.
"I asked Xiao Huang to call Yang Hongchao. Did he take the initiative to contact you?" As soon as the phone was connected, Chen Xing said immediately.
"Didn't receive his call?" Zhang Wanzheng shook his head.
"Didn't receive his call?" Chen Xing was slightly stunned. His eyes slowly narrowed, and a cold light flashed across his eyes. "Yang Hongchao, Yang Hongchao. It seems that he doesn't take me, the secretary, seriously."
"Secretary Chen, it seems that Director Yang is playing a game of hide-and-seek with us." Zhang Wanzheng sneered.
"You still haven't found anything about Qin Peng's suicide, have you?" Chen Xing said.
"No." Zhang Wanzheng shook his head again. At the mention of this matter, Zhang Wanzheng was more depressed than anyone else.
Both of them were silent for a while. Chen Xing sighed and said, "I think we still have to investigate the matter of Qin Peng. Although he jumped off the building himself, his death is a little strange."
"I know, I will keep a close eye on this matter." Zhang Wanzheng said.
The two chatted for more than ten minutes. Finally, Chen Xing received a call. Then Chen Xing ended the call with Zhang Wanzheng. The call was from He Li. As soon as Chen Xing picked it up, he heard the other party say, "Chen Xing, have you arrived?"
"Yes, I have. We have finished lunch." Chen Xing said with a smile. He had told He Li that he was coming to Nanzhou.
"Are you free now? Lu Ming is with me. He made a new discovery about what happened last time. He happened to come over to tell me. I remembered that you said you were going to Nanzhou today, so I called you." He Li said.
"Okay, I will go over." Chen Xing nodded. He was not in a hurry to go to the auditorium in the afternoon. It was not that Chen Xing had no time to leave.
After leaving the hotel, Chen Xing called Li Kaishan and told him that he had something to do and had to leave first, so that Li Kaishan and the others could go to the auditorium first.
He took a car to the community where He Li lived and went to He Li's home. Chen Xing did not expect that Chu Rong had also returned to Nanzhou. During this time, the other party had been busy with business matters, but he often came to Sea City.
Secretary Chen. When Lu Ming saw Chen Xing, he stood up.
"What new discoveries have you made?" Chen Xing glanced at Lu Ming with a smile. Last time, Lu Ming said that it was Chen Dafei who had ordered people to smash He Li's coffee shop. In Chen Xing's opinion, this matter had been investigated to this extent. When Lu Ming said that there was a new discovery, Chen Xing was really a little curious.
Not only did Chen Dafei send people to follow Miss He, but he also sent people to follow you, Secretary Chen. When we were investigating a criminal case, a private detective agency was involved, and we inadvertently obtained an extra reward. Lu Ming said.
Sent people to follow me? Chen Xing was stunned for a moment and sneered. "What about now? I was transferred to Mountain Gaze. Does he have the guts to send people to Mountain Gaze again?"
"No, but there is one thing that should be said. Recently, Chen Dafei has been very close to Deputy Director Huang Youliang, who was transferred from Mountain Gaze. I have secretly noticed that Huang Youliang often goes to Deng Wenhua's club and is very close to Deng Wenhua and Chen Dafei. In private, he often gets together with Chen Dafei alone. I don't know what he is doing." Lu Ming said to Chen Xing. In addition to telling He Li about the findings of the follow-up investigation in the coffee shop, his main purpose was to come over and visit He Li more often. In Lu Ming's view, Chen Xing had been transferred to Mountain Gaze. Although he and Chen Xing had worked together in Ximen County and had a closer relationship than others, in order to maintain a good relationship with Chen Xing, Lu Ming felt that it was necessary to take the "Madam" route. The relationship would become closer and closer. If they didn't, they would gradually drift apart. Today, he came here to meet Chen Xing also in Nanzhou, which was an unexpected surprise. It was right to take the "Madam" route. At least if Chen Xing wanted to come to Nanzhou, he would tell He Li, but he didn't tell him alone.
Lu Ming didn't want to tell Chen Xing about Huang Youliang. At this time, he didn't expect Chen Xing to be in Nanzhou. Seeing Chen Xing's appearance, he didn't care too much about Chen Dafei, a second-generation rich kid. Therefore, Lu Ming brought up Huang Youliang's matter, hoping that He Xing would be interested.
It was true that birds of a feather flock together. When Chen Xing heard Lu Ming's words, he sneered. As soon as Huang Youliang was transferred to Nanzhou, he could hang out with second-generation rich kids like Deng Wenhua and Chen Dafei. He must not be a decent person. No wonder the public security in Mountain Gaze was so chaotic. The traffic police arrested cars indiscriminately and issued tickets at will. Huang Youliang had been the director of the Public Security Bureau in Mountain Gaze for several years. Maybe he was the biggest culprit.
"Lu Ming, do me a favor. Investigate Huang Youliang privately for me." Chen Xing suddenly said.
"Investigate Huang Youliang?" Lu Ming was shocked.
"Not bad. Investigate him carefully." Chen Xing nodded. Of course, don't let him find out.
Secretary Chen, during the period when Huang Youliang was the deputy mayor of Mountain Gaze and the director of the Municipal Bureau, could it be …? " Lu Ming glanced at Chen Xing and didn't finish his words. However, there was no need to say too much about this topic.
"I don't know if there's a problem, but you can check it out first." Chen Xing thought about the relationship between Li Kaishan, Zhang Lixing, and Huang Youliang. He still couldn't figure out the relationship between them. If one of them had a problem and was found out first, maybe he could pull the radish out of the mud and dig out the whole thing at once.
Hearing Chen Xing's words, Lu Ming nodded slightly. Secretly investigating Huang Youliang was a bit risky for him. Huang Youliang was the deputy director of the Provincial Department. As a subordinate investigating his superior, if he was found out by Huang Youliang, he would be in serious trouble. If this matter was blown up, even Chen Xing wouldn't be able to protect him. As a subordinate investigating his superior, this was breaking the rules of the game in the officialdom.
"Chen Xing, you only know how to talk when you come here. Aren't you thirsty?" He Li glanced at Chen Xing with a smile and poured a glass of water.
"It's you who asked me to come over, saying that it has something to do with your coffee shop." Chen Xing smiled, took the water, and took a sip. His eyes fell on Chu Rong. In front of Lu Ming, he didn't shy away and said, "Sister Chu, when did you come to Nanzhou?
I've been here for two days. I heard from He Li that you were so busy in Mountain Gaze that you couldn't even touch the ground, so I didn't dare to go to Mountain Gaze to disturb your work. " Chu Rong smiled slightly.
"It's not that I'm so busy that I can't touch the ground. I think it's that you're so busy making money that you can't stop. Will I see your name on the rich list in a few years?" Chen Xing joked.
"That's only possible in my next life." Chu Rong smiled and rolled his eyes, looking charming. "I don't want to make a fool of myself with my little net worth. Those rich people on the list all have billions of yuan. I probably won't be able to earn that much money in several lifetimes."
"Others don't have a chance, but I think you have a chance. Look at how devoted you are to business." Chen Xing said with a smile. Chu Rong and He Li were obviously two different women. Chu Rong was a business-minded woman, while He Li cared more about enjoying life. The two women represented two different attitudes towards life.
"I have nothing to do. It's good to be busy with business to kill time." Chu Rong smiled, thought of something, and said, "Chen Xing, when I was in Hai City, I often contacted Yang Ming because of our business relationship. I heard from Yang Ming that Zhao Yiping asked the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to investigate his father. "Did Yang Zhen tell you about this?"
"Zhao Yiping is investigating Yang Zhen?" "When did this happen?" Chen Xing said in surprise.
"Yang Zhen didn't tell you?" Could it be that Yang Ming was fooling him? Hearing Chen Xing's words, Chu Rong was puzzled.
