Chapter 405: Clarity (2)
At a deserted seaside, Cao Chuang secretly met with Lu Min.
The sea breeze roared fiercely but could not suppress Lu Min's anger.
"What's wrong with you? You can't even handle such a small matter. Everyone knows about it."
Cao Chuang's face was pale, but he didn't dare to refute. He was also scared to death. If Lin Xiaoqiang escaped, he would definitely be exposed. "Mayor, you must save me!"
Lu Min paced back and forth, thinking about a solution.
This Lin Xiaoqiang is not a good person. They were old acquaintances back then, but Lin Xiaoqiang may not remember him.
At that time, he was just Jin Changguo's secretary, and he met Lin Zilie several times when he accompanied Jin Changguo to visit Lin Zilie.
This young man is young and hot-headed. He doesn't take anyone seriously and is extremely bold. He is capable of doing anything. It is likely that he is finished.
Thinking of this, the people of Lu were furious. They had entrusted their trust to the wrong person.
Lu Min stopped and looked at Cao Chuang with a sharp look in his eyes. "If the higher-ups come to investigate, you know what to say, right?"
Cao Chuang nodded quickly, "I said I was being held hostage. I originally wanted to go to an old house I bought to take a look, but I didn't know these three people were hiding inside and holding me hostage."
This was a set of rhetoric that Cao Chuang had thought of before he came.
"Yes, this reason is valid." Lu Min nodded, "But it's not enough. If you stay in Haizhou, you will be exposed sooner or later, so you have to find a way to transfer out of Haizhou."
"Transfer...transfer out of Haizhou?"
"Yes, I have an old friend in Jinghai. You should go there." Lu Min patted Cao Chuang, "Don't worry, you have done so much for me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. If you go there, your promotion will not be delayed. The position is reserved for you. Once you go there, you will be at the level of a section chief and the director of the district bureau. In two years, you can be promoted to deputy director. How about it?"
When Cao Chuang heard that he could get a promotion, he didn't hesitate and said, "I'll go, I'll go."
"Well, get ready. I don't need to tell you how to do it."
"I know I know."
"But you have to be careful during this period, and don't let anyone know."
"Yes, yes, don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut."
"Okay, that's it. The city is keeping a close eye on us right now, so it's best to stay home these few days and don't go anywhere. If you need anything, call me on the pay phone."
……
The next day, before Qi Tongwei could suggest to Gao Yuliang that measures should be taken against the captain who had "escaped death", an investigation should be conducted.
Another piece of news came - Cao Chuang went crazy, or to be more precise, he had a mental problem.
According to the doctor's diagnosis, it might be because of coercion, coupled with the excessive mental stress caused by the gunfight, which broke the originally tense string in his heart, similar to post-traumatic stress disorder.
Now that you need to rest more, it is naturally not appropriate to ask any more questions.
Their first reaction was that it was fake.
"Tongwei, what do you think?"
"This guy is a major suspect. As a criminal police captain, his psychological quality shouldn't be so poor."
"I think so too. He must know something, but we don't have any evidence at the moment, so we can't open a case against him. We won't get anything out of him just by questioning him."
The finishing touch made Gao Yuliang feel uncomfortable and he sighed, "If only Liang Ping was here."
Then he felt that this was inappropriate, "Tongwei, don't misunderstand me, I mean..."
Qi Tongwei interrupted, "Teacher, you don't need to explain. When it comes to interrogation, Liangping has been influenced by his family since he was a child and is indeed gifted. I admire this.
Besides, I've reached this position now, and my heart is filled with the people, so why would I bother with him about these things?"
After the last conversation with Zhao Lichun, Qi Tongwei promised him that he would no longer plot against Hou Liangping. In return, he would contribute to Gao Yuliang's promotion.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Hou Liangping and Zhao Xiaohui no longer oppose him.
Qi Tongwei continued to bring the topic to the point, "Teacher, do you think it would be possible to have the city investigate Captain Cao first?"
The doctor's advice was not Cao Chuang's amulet. If they forced the investigation forward, a mere deputy section-level cadre would be unable to stop it.
Gao Yuliang shook his head. "You don't know that Mayor Jin went to the hospital to visit Cao Chuang yesterday. If I bring up the investigation now, I'm exposing the problem. People will accuse me of political targeting and fabricating evidence. So we must first gather evidence before launching an investigation."
"The mayor of Changguo is quite resourceful." Qi Tongwei smiled. "Speaking of evidence, I have an idea."
"what idea?"
Qi Tongwei mentioned Lin Xiaoqiang's phone call a few days ago and asked, "Look, if this fugitive speaks up, can we investigate?"
"That's fine. If he speaks up, we'll have reason to investigate Cao Chuang, but when can he call?"
Speak of the devil, and he appeared. Qi Tongwei's cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw it was an unfamiliar number. When Qi Tongwei answered it, it was the fugitive.
"Well, Secretary Qi, what do you think?"
Without thinking, the two of them stood up and walked towards Qi Bin's office in tacit understanding.
"I can't promise you this, but if you believe it, just talk to Secretary Qi of our Municipal Party Committee." Qi Tongwei walked into Qi Bin's office while calming the other party.
Coincidentally, at this time, Organization Minister Ma Siqiu was reporting to Qi Bin.
Before the two of them understood why Qi Tongwei came uninvited, Qi Tongwei had already turned on the speakerphone of the phone and placed it on the desk in front of them.
"No, no, no, I don't want to talk to him. I only trust you." Lin Xiaoqiang said.
Qi Tongwei remained unyielding: "Lin Xiaoqiang, I still say the same thing. If you want to say it, just say it. I will not make a deal with a criminal."
Lin Xiaoqiang said: "No wonder those people want to get rid of you. It's not good to be too upright in the officialdom. You will have no friends."
"Stop talking nonsense. Since you dare to hold our Haizhou criminal police captain hostage, you are destined to stand on the opposite side of us. I advise you to surrender yourself and strive for leniency." Qi Tongwei quietly set a trap.
"Hostaged? Secretary Qi, you might not know this, but the criminal police captain you mentioned was once our close teammate. If it weren't for him, we would have been arrested by you at the Longteng Hotel."
Qi Tongwei said, "I think you were exposed by this captain and he killed your companions. You are so angry and embarrassed. To be honest, your words are not credible."
Lin Xiaoqiang didn't expect Qi Tongwei to be so unwilling to eat or drink. "What I said is true. It's up to you whether you believe it or not.
You can investigate, Han B5421, a shabby white van, and Chengnan District, No. 109, Longhan Avenue, that is the hiding place he found for us, there should be traces of our lives in it.
By the way, he is a criminal police officer and is likely to destroy evidence. However, I have a habit of smoking and I like to hide my cigarette butts in corners. It is difficult for ordinary people to find them. You can look for them on the toilet windowsill.
Qi Bin understood what he meant and took note of it, wondering in his mind which senior officials might be involved.
"Okay, I'll verify it. If it's true, I'll consider it as a sign of your meritorious service and take it into consideration when sentencing you."
"Hahaha." Lin Xiaoqiang seemed to have heard a very funny joke, "Secretary Qi, thank you.
You are such an interesting person. It's a pity that you are an official and I am a gangster. Otherwise, I think we can definitely become friends."
Qi Tongwei said: "It's not difficult to become friends. As long as you turn yourself in, I will come to pick you up in person after you are released from prison."
"No, I don't like that place. It's too boring and it's a shame for my eventful life. If you really want to be friends with me, please investigate Guo Xiaopeng for me.
To tell you the truth, Guo Xiaopeng has a huge problem, so huge that the entire Chinese nation will be shocked."
