Before Lu Tao and the others arrived, Zhou Yihong's personal secretary had already bought pork, pork ribs, beef, fish head, pork kidneys, and other raw materials according to his menu, waiting for Lu Tao to cook.
After the personal secretary made tea for Lu Tao and the others, he tactfully left. Lu Tao and He Ying went to the kitchen to cook. He Ying was responsible for washing the vegetables and rice, and Lu Tao was responsible for cutting the vegetables and cooking. The two of them began to work together. Zhou Yihong sat in the living room and listened to Fu Lei and the others' brief self-introductions, and then asked them some questions he was concerned about.
Finally, Zhou Yihong focused on the background of He Ying and the others' arrest on Wednesday night, as well as the details of Li Xuzhong's abuse of the law. He also asked Fu Lei and Xie Benzhu to talk about their views and evaluations of Li Xuzhong.
During the meal, Zhou Yihong asked Lu Tao to open two bottles of red wine that he had specially asked his secretary to buy. He then offered a toast to everyone at the table, which made Fu Lei, Xie Benzhu, and Zhou Youliang feel flattered. They were so excited that their faces turned red even before they drank. They hurriedly stood up to return the toast to Zhou Yihong and said a lot of flattering words.
Zhou Yihong did not comment on their flattery, but just looked at them with a smile and occasionally nodded in response. Sometimes, according to the personal situations that Fu Lei and the others had just described, he said a few words of praise or encouragement for each person's characteristics and strengths, which made the people who were praised even more excited. They raised their glasses and drank three glasses in a row to express their gratitude to Secretary Zhou.
After dinner, under the influence of alcohol, Xie Benzhu told Zhou Yihong about his grievances in the case of Cao Qing, the secretary of Qingyun Village, killing the informant. He also reported to Zhou Yihong in detail that the secretary of the county party committee, Luo Qiulin, had been shielding and protecting Cao Qing for a long time. When something happened, Luo Qiulin, as the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, took the blame.
Zhou Yihong frowned and listened to him, then asked seriously, "You just said that before Cao Qing's accident, you asked Luo Qiulin several times to investigate him, but Luo Qiulin stopped you every time. Can you provide evidence of this? If there is a written document that can prove that you have correctly performed your duties as the Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, then the one who should be held responsible is not you, but Luo Qiulin! "
Xie Benzhu nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes! I have it in my bag now. "
Then, he picked up his bag and took out some materials and handed them to Zhou Yihong. Zhou Yihong took a look. Among the documents, there was the report of Taolin County's Commission for Discipline Inspection recommending that Cao Qing be investigated. There was also the record of Xie Benzhu's speech at the County Commission for Discipline Inspection. These records clearly recorded Xie Benzhu's speech recommending that Cao Qing be investigated.
After Zhou Yihong finished reading it seriously, he put the materials aside and said to Xie Benzhu, "Leave these materials with me first. I'll pass them to Comrade Zhou Qingbai after work on Monday. I'll ask him to take a look at these materials and suggest that the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection re-investigate your alleged dereliction of duty. Don't worry, in this case, the Municipal Committee will not let go of a single bad person, nor will they wrongly accuse a good person. "
When Xie Benzhu heard that Zhou Yihong would show these materials to the Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Zhou Qingbai, and suggest that the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection reinvestigate his case, he knew that he was saved. He couldn't help but be so grateful that his eyes turned red. He kept thanking Zhou Yihong with a choked voice.
Then, Zhou Yihong called He Ying to his study, using the excuse that he wanted to know about He Ying's gambling case alone. The two of them closed the door and talked for half an hour. When they came out, He Ying's eyes were red. She had probably just cried.
Fu Lei and the others didn't think too much about this closed-door talk. They thought that Secretary Zhou was really trying to find out the truth about the gambling case from He Ying alone. They also thought that it was normal to see He Ying cry. Only Lu Tao knew that there was some kind of secret relationship between them. Moreover, Zhou Yihong said that he would go to a place with He Ying alone tomorrow. They probably just talked about going to that mysterious place tomorrow. He Ying's cry was probably because it reminded her of some sad memories!
Lu Tao didn't know why, but when he thought about how Zhou Yihong was going to take He Ying to a place where they shared a common memory, he felt jealous. At the same time, he suspected that He Ying's intimate action of holding his hand not long ago was a lie.
However, jealousy was just jealousy. Lu Tao didn't dare show it in front of Zhou Yihong and He Ying. He continued to force a smile and chat with Zhou Yihong, Fu Lei, and the others. At 4: 30 p.m., Fu Lei and the others reluctantly stood up and said goodbye to Zhou Yihong. Lu Tao and He Ying followed them out.
After walking out of the Municipal Party Building, He Ying told Lu Tao, Fu Lei, and the others that she had to go home to talk to her husband, Wu Zhiqi. She asked them to leave first and that she wouldn't be going back that night.
Lu Tao knew that she definitely wouldn't go to Wu Zhiqi. The reason she stayed that night was because she was going to that mysterious place with Zhou Yihong the next day. He felt even more uncomfortable. When he said goodbye to He Ying, he looked sullen and didn't smile at all. He Ying seemed to have seen through his jealousy. Before she left, she stared at him deeply with her beautiful phoenix eyes, and a mocking smile appeared on her face …
Three days later, the investigation team of Songshan City's Public Security Bureau officially released the investigation report on O 'Neal's gambling case and Li Xuzhong's suspected violation of discipline. The report was personally sent to Zhou Yihong's desk by Ma Yuanchi.
After Zhou Yihong carefully read the results of the investigation, his face gradually became covered with thick dark clouds, and the anger in his eyes became more and more intense.
It turned out that there were four basic conclusions in the investigation report:
First, there wasn't enough evidence of Li Weijun's gambling case. There were procedural flaws in He Ying's law enforcement.
Second, it was true that He Ying beat up Li Weijun and should be dealt with accordingly. Not only did Huang Chong beat up Li Weijun, he was also suspected of using a gun against the law, which constituted a crime. Confinement of He Ying and Huang Chong was appropriate, but the county Public Security Bureau decided to confine He Ying without the approval of the city Public Security Bureau, which was a procedural error.
Third, O 'Neal's hotel staff attacked the police, which was suspected of obstructing the execution of official duties. The county Public Security Bureau ordered Huang Lang and the other leaders who organized and commanded the attack to be detained and investigated for criminal responsibility.
