Chapter Thirty-Five(1/2)
After breakfast, I went to shake hands with three people from the provincial department and thanked them again for their support of Shangjiang City’s public security work.
I smiled bitterly and said: "What kind of ability is this? Maybe it's because I'm in a different perspective now, so the way I analyze problems is different from before. Fang Qiang, do you think this case will be solved really quickly?"
Can it be broken?"
He nodded, "Your analysis this morning is very reasonable. In fact, last night we basically determined the nature of the case. We think it was a murder of love."
I looked at him in shock, "Killed by love? Is there any evidence?"
He shook his head, "According to the current investigation of your city's Public Security Bureau, the deceased kept a very low profile in the local area and never played cards or gambled with local people. However, we have already learned one thing: the relationship between the deceased and one of his female subordinates.
It's rather ambiguous. Last night, people from your city's public security bureau went to the woman's home and found that the woman was at home, but her man was missing. It is estimated that her man is probably the murderer, and he may have gone into hiding.
Woke up."
I suddenly became worried, "If a living person is really hiding, it will be very troublesome to find him. Besides, you still have no evidence to prove that he is the murderer."
He nodded, "That's why our captain had to keep it a secret from you this morning. Early this morning we had arranged for people to secretly release the news among the people here, saying that the deceased was killed in revenge by the underworld here. At the same time, today's Jiangnan Morning News
The evening newspapers and evening newspapers will also report this matter with such content. We think that if the murderer hears or sees such news, he will go home quickly."
I said: "But since he has disappeared, it is hard to say whether he might hide in the mountains. Where can I find newspapers in this mountain? It is also difficult to hear news about this matter in the city. And if he leaves
If the time is too long, it will arouse suspicion. He should not be a fool and should have thought of this."
He nodded and said: "The situation you mentioned is of course possible. We have investigated all of this person's social relationships, including his relatives in the countryside, and also contacted the local police station. However, this person has a formal job
, and his child has just turned one year old. So we analyze that this person may have a fluke mentality. Maybe he is hiding in a corner of the city and has not gone far. Let’s see, if he really has a fluke mentality
Then he should go home within today. Because as you said, he is also worried that he will arouse suspicion if he runs away. After all, things are different now. If a wanted order is issued, it will not be a problem for him to hide.
So easy. He should have thought of this."
I nodded, "Your level of solving crimes is getting better and better. By the way, Fang Qiang, why is there still no explanation for Tong Yangxi's case? You once suspected that Shangguanqin did it, but there is still no evidence until now.
? Is that case really that complicated?”
He sighed and said: "Some cases are actually very simple, but the things behind the case are too complicated."
I was suddenly startled, "What do you mean by that?"
He seemed to have just woken up, and his behavior at this time made me immediately feel that what he just said was a gaffe. He immediately said: "I was just talking casually. The reason why Tong Yangxi's case has not been solved so far
But we still can't explain why Sun Lulu mistook Tong Yangxi as a thief and accidentally killed him. Moreover, Sun Lulu is dead now, and all the clues have been completely cut off."
I reminded him: "I remember I once told Tong Yao that maybe Sun Lulu was hypnotized. At that time, I also told Tong Yao that as long as we could find a hypnotist to hypnotize Sun Lulu once, maybe she could be hypnotized.
What was found in the memory? I don’t know if Tong Yao has told you about this."
He nodded, "Tong Yao told me about your idea. We did find a hypnotist later, but we got nothing. On the contrary, it caused Sun Lulu to escape from prison a few days later, and she was beaten to death like that.
.”
I asked him: "Were you present during the hypnosis?"
He shook his head, "I'm not present, but someone from our criminal police team is here. It's Captain Jiang who is here today. Brother Feng, why don't you even doubt him? He is a very famous criminal investigation expert in our criminal police team, in terms of character.
His investigative skills are also very good."
I shook my head, "Maybe I'm overthinking. But in today's society, I feel that many people are untrustworthy except for myself, because there are too many temptations in this society. For example, this person from Shangjiang City
Director of Forestry, if he hadn't done something like this, who would have thought that such a low-key person would accept bribes and have an affair with his female subordinate? Isn't it said in Bai Juyi's poem? Duke Zhou is afraid of the day of rumors, and Wang Mang is humble.
Before the usurpation, Xiangshi died at the beginning, who knows the authenticity of his life? When Zhou Gong assisted the king, he would also feel fear when there were rumors that he had a conspiracy to usurp the throne. And when Wang Mang assisted Emperor Ping of the Western Han Dynasty,
Before usurping the Han Dynasty, they were courteous and honest, and courteous to virtuous officials. If Duke Zhou and Wang Mang died before everyone knew the truth, then no one would know their true character in life. The ancients were still like this, let alone today
What about this modern society that is full of temptations?"
He said: "Brother Feng, maybe what you said is right. But our police must have evidence when handling cases, not to mention that it is impossible for me to doubt someone I respect so much. Brother Feng, in fact, if I really want to doubt
You should also be the subject of suspicion. Didn't you send Sun Lulu home that night? But we won't believe that you did it, because you didn't have to do that, and you didn't have the courage.
Of course, from an emotional point of view, we don’t want to doubt you. You should understand the reason, don’t you think so?”
I was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "That's true."
I immediately stood up and said, "Brother Feng, I'm leaving. Your secretary has come in to see you a few times. He must have something to do with you. I won't delay you. I'm very happy today because I want to
Tong Yao will definitely be very happy if she knows that you will no longer blame her."[
I apologized: "She cares so much about my attitude towards her, which shows that she values our friendship very much. It's all my fault, so I should take the time to apologize to her."
He smiled slightly and said: "Brother Feng, there is no need. A little misunderstanding between friends is normal, and she also has her faults. In the end, the true love between friends is the most important. How many people can a person have?
A true friend is something worth feeling lucky for a lifetime, so we should all cherish it. Don’t you think so?"
I nodded and escorted him out of the office myself. Xiao Xu happened to be outside, so I immediately told him: "You tell Xiao Cui right away and ask him to send Officer Fang to the Municipal Public Security Bureau immediately."
Fang Qiang didn't refuse. Originally, this was what I should do. If he refused, it would be fake.
Xiao Xu said something to me before leaving with Fang Qiang. He said to me: "Director Zhou from the Land and Resources Bureau is waiting to see you in my office."
I told him to have the Director of Land and Resources come to my office immediately.
Director Zhou is the one who had dinner with me a few days ago. I called him there from Shangjiang City.
After he entered my office, he called me very respectfully, and I immediately asked him to sit down, "Director Zhou, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."
He said respectfully: "Mayor Feng, it's normal for you to be busy. We are subordinates and it's okay to wait for a while."
I smiled at him and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
He said: "The Sports Bureau has already discussed the matter with us last time. Because the project has a public welfare nature, we decided to charge the land conversion fee based on the price of commercial land three years ago. Mayor Feng, you see
Is this okay?"
I laughed and said, "Are you kidding me? How to set the price of land is a matter for your land department. Special circumstances must be approved by the provincial department. Also, since the land belongs to us in Shangjiang City, like this
Special circumstances must be approved by the government executive meeting, right? How can such a thing be carried out if I say it alone?"
Nowadays, I am cautious about everything, for fear of being tricked again. In fact, it is not difficult to do this. First, I need to be familiar with the relevant policies, but I need to be more cautious about everything, and try to do as little as possible.
Agreed. I am a deputy, so there is no need to take such risks just to save face. As the saying goes: If you are not in your position, you will not pursue your political affairs.
He was a little embarrassed, "I will definitely ask the department for instructions on this matter. If it needs to go to the government executive meeting, I will definitely make a report to the city government."
Only then did I realize that he might have misunderstood me, and I immediately said to him: "I am solving problems for them from a work perspective regarding this project of the Sports Bureau. Mr. Ning is indeed quite familiar with me.
, but you should know that there is definitely not much profit for her to do this project. In fact, in the final analysis, I am using my relationship with friends to solve this long-standing problem in our Shangjiang City. Therefore, whether as a municipal government or
Regardless of your land department, we should fully support this matter. This is actually a question of service attitude and concept. Director Zhou, our Shangjiang City is about to carry out comprehensive reforms. At present, the real estate development in our city has not yet
Fully rolled out. Director Zhou, your land department must change its concept in the future. We must try our best to take care of public welfare projects and treat them differently in terms of price. We must provide good services to the land used for real estate development projects and strictly implement prices in accordance with relevant regulations. We
Shangjiang City's future fiscal revenue mainly depends on your land and resources department. I am the executive deputy mayor. Although I have not been in office for a long time, I have already been deeply aware of all the difficulties caused by our huge financial difficulties. Director Zhou, please
Already."
He nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely do my job well. Mayor Feng, I want to ask you something. This time the city has adjusted the heads of various departments, but we have not been touched."
Are the departments directly under the city planning to take action next time?"
Only then did I understand the real purpose of his coming to see me today, but I still had to face such problems cautiously. I then shook my head and said, "This is a matter of the Municipal Party Committee. Although I am a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, the issue of cadres
You only have the right to vote. As for the specific arrangements, I don't know. In fact, I think it doesn't matter what the municipal party committee thinks. The important thing is that you must be fine, and there are no problems with your work ability and work attitude.
You have also seen the results of the adjustments in other departments this time. The municipal party committee is still quite fair in the appointment of cadres. Do you think so?"
He nodded, "Mayor Feng, I feel relieved to hear what you say. However, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau has made adjustments again. Does this mean that other directly affiliated departments will not be moved for the time being?"
I suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the person in front of me. In fact, he should have asked me such a question when he was having dinner with me that day. Yang Shuguang was present at that time, and I would not be as scrupulous as I am today on such an occasion.
.Did he deliberately trick me into saying something I shouldn’t have said? No, that shouldn’t be the case. It wouldn’t be a big problem for anyone to say a few words that they shouldn’t say in private. It seems that I am indeed too
Sensitive. But from this, I can see another problem with the person in front of me: he is stupid. Or there is some big problem with him, so he is so uneasy in his heart.
I looked at him, still smiling slightly, "I told you, it's not appropriate for you to ask me such a thing. The former director of the Shangjiang City Public Security Bureau has reached the age of retirement, and a new director has been appointed organizationally.
It’s also a normal thing. Don’t you think so?”
He felt embarrassed again and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes."
Then he left, and I felt more and more that there was something wrong with this person. Maybe he just came to get close to me? Just because he knew that I had a good relationship with Yang Shuguang?
I don't want to continue thinking about this matter, because I feel that those things have nothing to do with me.
I immediately called Xiao Xu and said, "Unless it's an emergency, don't let anyone report to me for the time being."
After thinking for a while, I called Minister Yang. After the call was connected, he whispered: "I'm in class. Is there something urgent, Mayor Feng?"
I said: "Forget it. I just want to ask your opinion on the case that just happened in our Shangjiang City."
He still said in a low voice: "Isn't it just a case? Let's wait until the Public Security Bureau solves the case. I'm sorry, I'm in class."
Of course I believe he didn't lie to me, because I heard the voice of a teacher giving lectures on his side through the receiver. But I don't quite believe he doesn't have other ideas about this case. At least I personally think we can use this case to do something.
It doesn’t matter what the final conclusion of the public security organs is on this case.
But now I suddenly felt that it was a bit abrupt to ask Minister Yang about this matter, and I found that I was a little too dependent on him when dealing with official matters in Shangjiang City. This is very inappropriate, after all, I am also the municipal party committee
Although the standing committee member has the same rank as him, I am the executive deputy mayor after all, and I am still ahead of him in the ranking of municipal committee standing committee members.
Being dependent is actually a manifestation of a lack of self-confidence. At the same time, there is a lack of independent thinking and control over one's own brain. Therefore, a dependent person will often find an independent and mature person as the object of his dependence.
