Chapter 720 Are You Free?
In the morning, Beishan Municipal Party Committee.
Qi Tongwei was about to go to the secretary's office for a meeting when Zhu Hongwen suddenly stopped him and said mysteriously, "Leader, I have something to report to you."
Qi Tongwei looked at his watch and said without stopping: "Let's talk about it when I get back. I need to go to a meeting with Secretary He now."
Zhu Hongwen caught up with him, held up two fingers, and said urgently: "Just two sentences, just two sentences."
Qi Tongwei glanced at Zhu Hongwen unhappily and said, "What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?"
"This is very important to you."
Qi Tongwei's curiosity was piqued and he stopped. "Go ahead."
Zhu Hongwen did not say anything, but looked at Qi Tongwei's secretary Wang Wenjie.
Wang Wenjie said sensibly, "Mayor, I remembered I have a document that I haven't picked up yet. I'll go get it."
Qi Tongwei nodded.
As soon as Wang Wenjie left, Zhu Hongwen looked around, moved closer to Qi Tongwei, and muttered, "Last night... I saw..."
Qi Tongwei was stunned at first, then frowned and criticized: "No, you are idle all day long?"
Zhu Hongwen explained awkwardly, "No, it's just that I couldn't sleep last night, so I got up and had a cup of tea.
You know, it was a cold day, and I was drinking tea standing outside the window, looking out at the night view. The cold and hot feelings alternated in my heart, which was quite poetic. Then guess what I saw?
I saw two sneaky people entering that person's house, and I was so curious..."
"Okay, okay," Qi Tongwei interrupted, "I remind you again, don't pry into other people's privacy for no reason. If you get caught, you'll be in trouble."
"No...Boss, I really couldn't sleep, so I had a cup of tea."
"Won't drinking tea make it even harder to sleep? You, pay attention!"
Thinking that the other person also had good intentions, Qi Tongwei didn't say much. He warned him twice and then said in a gentle tone: "Okay, I know about this."
After saying that, Qi Tongwei turned and left.
Looking at Qi Tongwei's leaving back, Zhu Hongwen raised the corners of his mouth and sneered in his heart: Lin Gangjian, Lin Gangjian, you will be in trouble now.
He had long disliked the old man Lin Gangjian, and this time he finally got the chance.
If it weren't for him, would he be in such a difficult situation now? The cadres below him all hated him to death.
Since you want to be a dog, then be a thorough one and bite this old guy to death first.
...
As soon as he walked into He Anxia's office, Qi Tongwei found that the top leader had a very ugly expression on his face.
How could it not be embarrassing? The municipal party secretary was in charge of the overall situation. When a deputy mayor of a county-level city died, the person who was most affected was He Anxia, and he had to bear the main responsibility.
This time the other party was forced to come out and play the bad guy, Qi Tongwei smiled secretly in his heart.
The two of them nodded in agreement without any further formalities. Now that the show had begun, it would not end until it lasted for a few years.
After all, this is not Handong. The background and influence of the two have been greatly reduced, so we must be cautious in everything we do.
Qi Tongwei found a seat not too far away, sat down, lit a cigarette, and waited for Deputy Secretary Lin Gangjian, Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Zuo Ming, and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission Duan Feng.
In a few minutes, all three arrived.
Qi Tongwei looked at every member of the Standing Committee who came in with a scrutinizing gaze, and also used his skills to investigate, trying to find any clues.
Zuo Ming has already signed in, and he came here only a few months earlier than them, so it can be basically ruled out that he is involved in the case.
As for Duan Feng, he is not a big suspect either.
The main consideration is the other party's status in the past few months, which has changed from confrontation at the beginning to friendship.
He is a timid and cowardly person, and it is unlikely that he would do such a bold thing. Besides, he had recommended Qiao Shan to him before the incident, so the possibility is very low.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the other party is disguising himself. After all, a politician, especially one from the political and legal system, is too timid and is really laughable.
So there is still some suspicion.
The person with the biggest suspicion is Lin Gangjian. This deputy secretary is shrewd and has been working in Beishan for many years. It is possible that he has some secret connection with the deputy mayor.
He also disliked this deputy secretary very much, especially after spending the past few months with him, and even more so after Zhu Hongwen's report this morning.
He acts detached all day long, acts like an elder, and likes to smooth things over whenever something happens.
When he first implemented the rotation system, he often told his subordinates that they should be protected and allowed to make mistakes, which made it impossible for him and He Anxia to agree.
In the end, to be on the safe side, he could only play the good cop and bad cop tricks with He Anxia to break the situation.
During this period, Yu Huabei came and tried to bring the two together. The deputy secretary agreed on the surface, but what was the result?
Whenever it is time to vote, they don’t vote; whenever it is time to express an opinion, they don’t express it; and whenever it is time to do something, they don’t do it.
My mentality is that you take the credit, you take the blame, and I will retire and enjoy life.
Is he still a Party member? He doesn't care about it now that he's at his stop? If he really doesn't care, he'll probably just feel annoyed, but won't say anything.
But what did it mean to secretly receive the top two leaders in Haikou so late last night?
He is the former secretary of the HK Municipal Party Committee. Doesn’t he know how to avoid suspicion?
Or is he plotting something else? Who can tell?
Seeing that everyone had arrived, He Anxia organized a meeting. He first introduced the situation of the case and then expressed his opinion: "This case is still suspicious and there is a possibility of homicide. Therefore, I plan to have people stay in Haikou to investigate. What are your opinions?"
Qi Tongwei nodded, "I agree. A deputy mayor shouldn't be so unclear."
The top two leaders had reached a consensus, and the others should have just listened, but He Anxia still habitually asked for others' opinions.
To He Anxia's surprise, this time Lin Gangjian didn't maintain his usual ambiguous attitude. Instead, he asked two questions in quick succession: "Will continuing the investigation affect Haikou's normal work? How long will the investigation take?"
He Anxia was a little stunned by Lin Gangjian's question, and didn't understand what Lin Gangjian meant for a while.
The main reason was that He Anxia didn't study Lin Gangjian enough. He always studied his superiors, and he didn't take Lin Gangjian, the deputy secretary who was about to retire, seriously at all. When he suddenly jumped out at this time, he was caught off guard.
He Anxia hesitated for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. If there is no progress, it may take a long time."
Lin Gangjian continued to ask: "If it's not short, then how long will it take? Comrade Anxia, we still need to think about this issue carefully.
Imagine a higher-level investigation team stationed in a local area for a long time. For the local comrades, it's like a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. Who wouldn't worry about it falling on their head?
