Song Zhaoyang and the rest nodded in agreement with his suggestion.
Song Chaoyang said, "I was involved in the series of events in Dongshui Village, so I have a better understanding of the situation. Therefore, I will explain it to the Governor in the video conference later. However, we may need Zhao Xiaotao to speak. Heping, you go and greet him. The conference will start in about ten minutes. We have to make sure that nothing goes wrong. We can't screw up in front of the Governor. "
Yu Heping nodded repeatedly. However, he was still a little nervous when he thought about how he would be questioned by the Governor later. He couldn't help but become anxious.
Zhou Yuansong had been listening quietly. At this time, he asked, "Secretary, Mayor, what should we say when the provincial government asks about Liu Erkui's death?"
Yu Heping frowned and asked, "Will the provincial government ask about this matter alone?"
Zhou Yuansong nodded and said, "I think they will ask. After all, the person who exposed Liu Erkui's death on Weibo posted the photo of him being shot. This is the most important matter. At the same time, it is also the matter that will most likely cause public anger and social impact."
Yu Heping said, "Didn't the Northern District Public Security Bureau already investigate this matter clearly? Liu Erkui was the one who snatched the gun. In order to protect the gun and himself, the police officer shot him and injured him, which inadvertently led to his death. That's what they said. What's the point of asking?"
Zhou Yuansong said, "But the person who exposed Liu Erkui wrote on Weibo that Liu Erkui was shot and killed for no reason. He didn't snatch the gun at all. Since he dared to write this, there must be a basis for it. If we casually accept the results of the investigation, it may cause the situation to become more serious. Even if it leads to an unjust case, we will have to bear the corresponding responsibility in the future. "
After hearing what he said, Yu Heping didn't dare to make any more guarantees. He lowered his head and didn't say anything.
Li Rui suddenly interrupted when he heard this. "I also heard that Liu Erkui was shot to death for no reason. He didn't snatch the gun at all. He only fought with the police officer involved. However, the police officer involved didn't fire a warning shot. Instead, he was shot to death."
Zhou Yuansong looked at him and said, "If this is really the case, then the police involved must have used a weapon against the law, or even suspected of intentional homicide."
Song Chaoyang said, "I suggest, Yuan Song, that you send an investigation team to investigate this case carefully. You must get to the bottom of this."
Zhou Yuansong nodded in agreement, and the discussion ended.
Li Ruixin thought to himself, Liu Erkui, oh Liu Erkui, if your spirit is in heaven, you should be able to see that I am trying my best to help you clear your name. Now, we can only rely on the investigation team sent by the Municipal Bureau. If they are not biased, they will definitely be able to find the truth.
The few city leaders discussed for a while. They just wanted to unify their statements, consider some questions that Lu Zhouxing might ask, and do their best to ensure that nothing went wrong. Otherwise, if something really went wrong in the video conference later, it would make the governor even more unhappy.
A quarter of an hour later, in the video conference room of the Municipal Party Committee, the emergency video conference initiated by the province was held. On the screen, the governor, Lu Zhouxing, sat in the middle. On his left and right sat the deputy governor in charge of safety and environment, the director of the provincial public security bureau, the secretary-general of the provincial government, and so on. In the conference room sat Song Chaoyang, Yu Heping, Du Minsheng, Zheng Zijuan, Zhou Yuansong, the secretary-general of the Municipal Government, and the mayor of the northern district, Zhao Xiaotao, and so on. Li Rui also attended the conference. Although there was no need for him to participate in the conference, Song Chaoyang still called him. The reason was unknown to outsiders, only Du Minsheng knew.
After the conference began, Lu Zhouxing went straight to the point. He said with a straight face, "Let's begin. Who will explain to me? Don't talk nonsense. I am very busy, and I don't have time to listen to nonsense!"
Yu Heping was already a little nervous. When she heard this, she was so scared that her face turned pale. She lowered her head, not daring to say a word. She didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear that her movements would attract Lu Zhouxing's attention and cause him to speak.
Zhao Xiaotao was even more dumbfounded. He was paralyzed in his chair, like a criminal who was about to be sentenced to death.
Song Chaoyang quickly said, "Governor, please allow me to explain to you. The series of incidents in Dongshui Village were caused by the serious pollution of the local environment. The cause was that the local people found themselves harmed by the polluted environment … "
Yesterday, Li Rui had already investigated the series of incidents in Dongshui Village in detail. When he came back, he told Song Chaoyang everything. Therefore, Song Chaoyang explained to Lu Zhouxing with confidence, reason, and evidence. He didn't even stutter.
When he heard that the test results of the underground water in Dongshui Village showed that all kinds of heavy metals and chemical substances exceeded the standard, especially arsenic, Lu Zhouxing was furious. He waved his hand and interrupted Song Chaoyang. He asked, "Since the underground water is so polluted, why did your Northern District Environmental Protection Bureau completely meet the standards when they tested the wastewater from the chemical plant? Who is fooling people? "
Song Chaoyang said, "After a preliminary investigation, it was found that the Northern District Environmental Protection Bureau played tricks during the testing process. However, the specific situation needs further investigation."
Lu Zhouxing instructed, "This matter must be thoroughly investigated. Anyone involved, regardless of their position, cannot be tolerated."
Song Chaoyang nodded to show that he understood. Then, he continued to explain Liu Erkui's death.
After listening, Lu Zhouxing asked, "The informant who posted on Weibo said that Liu Erkui was shot and killed for no reason. Is that the truth?"
Song Chaoyang said, "There were witnesses at the scene who reported that Liu Erkui didn't snatch the gun. He only had a conflict with the police involved. However, the police involved insisted that Liu Erkui had snatched the gun and threatened his life, so he shot Liu Erkui. This matter hasn't been investigated clearly yet, but I promise that we will find out the truth as soon as possible and give justice to the deceased. "
Lu Zhouxing said, "Your city will investigate this matter first. If you can't find anything, or the results of the investigation are not true, the province will have to let Director Wei lead a team to investigate. I hope that you won't disappoint the province, the villagers of Dongshui Village, and the deceased. "
The Director Wei he was referring to was Wei Qiang, a member of the Provincial Party Committee, the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and the head of the Provincial Public Security Bureau. When Wei Qiang was arresting the murderer who had killed the police, stolen the gun, and then robbed and killed after that, he had come to Qingyang City and presided over the arrest operation. He had also expressed his concern to the Duan Xiaoqian who had "caught the murderer."
After Lu Zhouxing expressed his attitude, Wei Qiang immediately looked at Zhou Yuansong and said, "This case involves the public security department and human lives. The case itself is sensitive and has a great impact on society. Therefore, I hope that your city bureau will always maintain a cautious attitude when investigating. You must respect the facts, the Constitution, and human lives. You must use facts as the standard. You must not wrongly accuse any good person, nor let any bad person go. You must do your best to give justice to the deceased. At the same time, you must actively appease the deceased's family and settle the matter as soon as possible. Don't let this matter fester any further. If you need help, you can contact the Provincial Public Security Bureau. "
Zhou Yuansong nodded repeatedly and made a promise to Lu Zhouxing and Wei Qiang on the screen.
Lu Zhouxing finally said, "I don't have much time, and the time you have left for the investigation is even more limited. Three days, you must investigate all the facts in three days and give me a result. Song Chaoyang, is three days enough? "
Song Chaoyang hurriedly said, "Yes, our city guarantees that we will investigate all the problems in three days and come up with a solution. We will try to solve all the problems."
Lu Zhouxing said, "Okay, then I will wait for the result in three days. Before the end of the meeting, I would like to remind you not to focus on solving the superficial problems in Dongshui Village. You must solve the problem of environmental pollution at the root. Otherwise, similar incidents will occur in Dongshui Village one after another in the future, and you city leaders will also have to bear the responsibility of dereliction of duty. "
After he said this, the meeting ended, and the people on the screen began to leave.
Li Rui sat at the back of the meeting room and stared at his father-in-law, Lu Zhouxing, on the screen. He saw that his father-in-law was still standing straight and imposing, but there was still an unconcealable sense of old age. Li Rui felt sad and felt that he had neglected his filial piety and care for this old man. He thought to himself that when he returned home, he would discuss with Qingman whether he could spare one day every two or three weeks to go back and accompany him. He believed that no matter how busy the old man was, he would be happy to see him and Qingman go back to visit him.
The TV screen quickly turned black, but Song Chaoyang and the others who were sitting in the meeting room in Qingyang City did not leave. The atmosphere in the meeting room was still cold and quiet, and there was even a sense of desolation.
Zhao Xiaotao was already drenched in cold sweat. He had been attending the meeting with his head lowered, and he looked like a guilty person. At this time, he secretly raised his head and saw Zheng Zijuan, Du Minsheng, and Zhou Yuansong staring at him. He was so scared that he could not help but shiver, and his teeth chattered.
Song Chaoyang looked at him expressionlessly and asked Yu Heping, "Comrade Heping, do you want to speak, or should I?"
Yu Heping understood what he meant and said, "I'll speak." Then he coughed and looked at Zhao Xiaotao, saying, "Zhao Xiaotao, you are dismissed. Go back and wait for the investigation."
According to the rules, the dismissal of Zhao Xiaotao, who was a divisional leader, had to be reported to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. It could only be carried out after all the members of the Standing Committee voted and approved. However, the two highest leaders of the Standing Committee, Song Chaoyang and Yu Heping, each representing the Party and government system, had agreed, which meant that the Standing Committee would definitely approve it. Going to the meeting was just a formality. Therefore, Yu Heping had no problem in removing Zhao Xiaotao from the position of District Mayor.
"Ah …"
When Zhao Xiaotao heard this, he jumped up in fright, making a big noise in his chair. Coupled with his exclamation, it could be said that he had made a fool of himself in front of all the leaders.
