Meng Shuhai was furious when he heard that. He instantly shifted his gaze to Liang Gang. He thought to himself, "You bastard, it's fine that you're opposing me, but you're also trying to smear my awareness and attitude. I won't forgive you for that." He asked with a gloomy face, "Liang Gang, did you really say that?"
Liang Gang also had a premonition that he would lose his official position. His eyes were red. He got up from the ground and didn't dare to meet Meng Shuhai's sharp gaze. He muttered, "I … I mean, you're busy with official business and don't have the time or energy …"
"I'm asking you, did you say that?"
Meng Shuhai suddenly raised his voice and asked in a heavy tone.
Liang Gang was so scared that he swallowed the rest of his words. He nodded anxiously, but quickly explained, "I didn't mean anything else. I just …"
Meng Shuhai didn't give him a chance to explain. He said coldly, "Liang Gang, in today's matter, you first seriously neglected your duty and abused your public power to privately arrest and detain government leaders. The mistakes you made are extremely serious and have an extremely bad impact. You must be dealt with seriously as a warning to others. Now, on behalf of the bureau's Party Committee, I'm making a decision to expel you from the party and remove you from your administrative position. As for whether you'll stay in the police force or not, it depends on your future performance. "
Liang Gang's body turned cold when he heard that. If it was dealt with like this, wouldn't he be kicked to the bottom? It took him more than ten years to rise from an ordinary policeman to the position of captain of a criminal police squadron. Today, he was beaten back to his original position with just one sentence? How could that be? He pleaded with a pained and regretful face, "Please don't, bureau chief. I've fully realized my mistakes. Please give me a chance to correct them, okay? If it doesn't work, you can expel me from the party, but keep my position. I've really realized my mistakes … "
Meng Shuhai sneered secretly when he heard that. Your party membership is gone, and you still want to be captain of a squadron? It's simply a dream. Don't feel wronged. Hmph, if you have the guts to smear my reputation, then you have to have the guts to bear the consequences. Damn it, I worked so hard in the bureau chief position to fight for a good reputation, but you're desperately smearing my reputation at the grassroots level. Do I have a grudge against you? Trash like you will be dealt with by the leaders in any unit! He abruptly waved his hand and said, "Cut the crap and scram!"
Liang Gang did not give up. He still wanted to say something, but he sent the director forward to push him and gave him a stern look. Only then did Liang Gang shut his mouth and walk to the door unwillingly.
"Captain Liang, don't go yet!" Li Rui stopped him. Then, he asked Meng Shuhai, "Director Meng, you just said that you've made the call, but why is Captain Liang not aware of the specific implementation?"
When Meng Shuhai heard this question, he hesitated for a moment. He looked at the director and said, "Director Zhu, didn't I ask someone to inform you about the case of Cui Guangli's family being killed? I asked you to organize a capable force to solve the case as soon as possible. Why didn't you send this to the administrative unit? You have to give me an explanation for this. You don't know, but Cui Guangli is County Magistrate Li's cousin. This case is very important to the County Magistrate Li. "
Without waiting for the director to answer, Li Rui smiled and waved his hand. "Director Meng, I have to apologize to you. Cui Guangli is actually not my cousin. I have nothing to do with her. We're just passers-by."
Meng Shuhai was shocked and asked curiously, "Huh? You're not cousins? "
Xu Guang, who was beside him, was also very confused. He looked at Li Rui in confusion.
Li Rui stopped smiling and nodded with a serious face. He said, "When Cui Guangli's family was killed, I happened to be there and witnessed the traffic accident turned into a case of intentional injury. However, the perpetrator, who was also the mastermind, had a very strong background. At that time, the criminal police almost admitted that the case would be left unsolved. I didn't believe it. I wanted to get justice for Cui Guangli's family, so I had to pretend to be Cui Guangli's relative. I called Director Meng directly and wanted to borrow your power to push the case forward. I'm really sorry that I lied to you. However, I didn't mean to lie to you. I had no choice but to do so. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to help the victim's family. "
Meng Shuhai opened his mouth in surprise and said, "So you just happened to pass by? You have nothing to do with the victim's family? You're just … meddling in other people's business? "
Li Rui retorted seriously, "How is this meddling in other people's business? When you see injustice on the road, you draw your sword to help. You also help the weak. These are the virtues that our Chinese people have respected and passed down for thousands of years. As a person with a conscience and compassion, when I see a group of weak people being killed and oppressed by a group of murderers, I naturally have to do my best to help them get justice. This is speaking from a small point of view, but speaking from a large point of view, as the Deputy County Magistrate of the government, it is also necessary for me to promote the correct solution of this case. If I turn a blind eye, it is equivalent to helping the tyrant, which will cause more innocent people to be harmed. It will also seriously affect the social security and investment environment of Shuanghe. "
Meng Shuhai was embarrassed by his words. He secretly scolded himself for giving him a chance to show his noble and righteous side. He explained with a smile, "That's not what I meant. When I said meddling in other people's business, it was purely meddling in other people's business. I mean meddling in things that have nothing to do with me. County Magistrate Li, I didn't expect you to be so righteous. I … I'm beginning to admire you. "
Fang Qingyun, who had been listening silently, also looked at Li Rui with some admiration and said, "County Magistrate Li did the right thing. As the parent officials of the county, we should indeed reach out and meddle in this kind of thing. In this regard, County Magistrate Li has set an example for us! "
Xu Guang was moved when he heard this. Thinking of his own performance in this case and comparing it with Deputy County Magistrate Li's actions, it was a world of difference. Not only did he not maintain his role as a good person, but now he was simply exploring the road of evil. Helping evil people to avoid the risk of legal sanctions, wouldn't he also become an evil person? Thinking of this, he became more and more ashamed.
Although Ma Yuming was Li Rui's trusted aide, he didn't know that he also meddled in such a big matter outside of work. Although he admired his chivalrous spirit, he also complained that he was meddling in other people's business. After all, he was the Deputy County Magistrate of the government, and he still had to put his work first. Meddling in ten or a hundred cases like this wouldn't count as political achievements, and he couldn't use it to get promoted, so it was better to not meddle in it.
Li Rui was not dazzled by Fang Qingyun's praise and everyone's praises. He looked at Meng Shuhai and said, "Since this case has been opened, and the Secretary, Director Meng, and Director Zhu of the police station are all here today, then we might as well seriously solve this case. I won't ask if Director Meng has informed us before, but I want to ask Director Meng, is this case so difficult? It's been almost four days, and the four murderers haven't been caught yet. As far as I know, they didn't run away after killing people, but swaggered away. They are now in the county, so why can't our excellent police comrades catch them? Also, the female driver, as the culprit and the mastermind, didn't run away, so why hasn't she been caught yet? Is it because she is Hu Zhixin's sister? "
Meng Shuhai secretly scratched his head, looked at Director Zhu, and said, "Director Zhu, isn't your police station in charge of this case? Can you explain it to County Magistrate Li?"
Director Zhu secretly hated his boss for throwing such a hot potato into his hands, but he couldn't refuse. He could only brace himself and explain, "Uh … of course not, County Magistrate Li. Don't think too much. We still don't know whether this woman is Hu Zhixin's sister, and even if she is, it won't affect the judgment of this case. In fact, we have never given up on investigating her. We just gave her a chance and urged her to turn herself in, to actively compensate the victim's family, to ask for their forgiveness, and to try to turn this case from a criminal to a civil case. After all, a criminal case will affect the unit's year-end evaluation. But since County Magistrate Li said so, we will immediately organize an elite force to catch her as soon as possible. "
Meng Shuhai was very satisfied with his answer. He thought to himself that he was indeed worthy of being his trusted aide. He never dropped the ball at the critical moment and was always trustworthy. He added, "As for the four murderers, of course, there is no need to say anything. We will arrest them as soon as possible and give them the punishment they deserve. Please rest assured, County Magistrate Li."
Li Rui thought to himself, "Since you promised, I will give you another chance to see what result you can get from this case." He said to Fang Qingyun, "Well, Secretary, since it's like this, it's fine. I'm very satisfied with Director Meng's result today, and I don't feel wronged. We can leave now."
Fang Qingyun looked at her watch and said with a smile, "Yes, we can leave now. It's almost time to get off work. County Magistrate Li, do you want me to treat you to dinner tonight to help you get over the shock? "
Meng Shuhai rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "It's my treat, okay, County Magistrate Li? Do me a favor and allow me to express my sincere apologies. "
Li Rui smiled and waved his hand to refuse, "No, I don't dare to trouble you two. I appreciate your kindness. Director Meng, please don't be so polite. To me, almost being detained is really a 'trivial matter'. I don't care at all, hehe. "
When Meng Shuhai heard him say this word again, his ears twitched twice without any warning. He resented Liang Gang even more in his heart. He thought to himself, "Liang Gang, Liang Gang, do you think that I'm done with you? Just you wait. Tomorrow, I'll send you to the police station in the mountains. I'll let you know how terrible the consequences of your 'small matter' are!"
Everyone walked out of the police station building, shook hands and said goodbye downstairs, and then left in their respective cars.
