spnAt this moment, the office Cheng Xuesong is in is not the one in the Discipline Inspection Commission Building, but the one that belongs to him in the Standing Committee Building.

He has been staying in this office since the Standing Committee was disbanded, because he believes that since he received the "operate well" power given by Duan Gang at the Standing Committee meeting just now, he is destined to be unable to rest today.

He knew Duan Gang's intention, which was to let him go as far as possible and let Director Xue accept the crime without being severely punished, so he could let him go.

Cheng Xuesong was also happy, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to do it between Duan Gang and the Xue family.

No, after the Standing Committee was dismissed, he went back to his office and waited for calls from Xue's family and the people who advocated for Xue Xiang, so that he could drop in and do a favor.[

Of course, the reason why Secretary Cheng did not go back to the office in the Discipline Inspection Commission Building to wait for a call was because he was waiting to meet with another Secretary Zheng who received the same task as him at the meeting.

What Cheng Xuesong didn't expect was that there were a lot of calls coming, but none of the expected calls from the Xue family came. Instead, there were several calls with unspeakable purposes.

If it were a call from an ordinary person, Cheng Xuesong wouldn't be tangled up in circles in the office. However, among the five calls he received, none of them were at a lower level than him.

Among them, there are even Comrade Shi Guozhong from Jianghuai Province and Comrade Wu Tiege from East Zhejiang Province. It would be fine if these two were ordinary provincial officials, but it just happened that the families of these two exceeded Xue

The existence of home.

When the two officials called, they didn't seem to say anything. They just briefly talked about the importance of safeguarding judicial fairness, and then hung up.

At that time, Cheng Xuesong was shocked!

What he didn't expect was that the inconspicuous Director Xue in the municipal party committee's general office would be so dazzling!

Normally, even if there is a conflict between the Xue family and those other families, if they want to take action, it will be war against war, against generals, but Xue Xiang is clearly just a small-time department-level cadre. Why did he provoke so many big tigers to attack him regardless of his status?

It means "care".

They say it all depends on a person's identity, taste, and the friends around him.

What Cheng Xuesong wants to say now is to see how awesome Director Xue is. Just look at these elders who show "kind care" to him.

After receiving such a malicious phone call, Cheng Xuesong was undecided again!

After all, he had already received Duan Gang's instructions. Besides, just as those instructions on the phone calls were, he should "care for" Xue Xiang cordially.

Even those who are not to be offended must be offended by him.

Worry, Cheng Xuesong is really sad. This is also the reason why he is the most unpopular in the officialdom and in the yamen. He is just like a hedgehog, whoever gets in contact with him will be pricked.

After walking around the house a few more times, Cheng Xuesong gradually relaxed, because he suddenly thought of another Secretary Zheng who had taken orders, and he was afraid that he would also encounter what he was encountering now.

Since it's a matter between two people, why should he worry about it alone!

He raised his hand and looked at his watch again, then turned his head and forgot about it. Looking at the gradually thinning figures on the main road outside, Cheng Xuesong finally took a step towards the door.

The Standing Committee Building is on the third floor, and his and Zheng Xinggao's offices are located at the south and north ends of the third floor.

Cheng Xuesong didn't expect that as soon as he rounded the corner, he saw Zheng Xinggao also emerging from the southern corner.

The two looked at each other from a distance, smiled at each other, then turned around and walked down the sidewalk beside them.[

Ten minutes later, the two of them gathered at the lotus pond the size of an acre at the northern end of the municipal party committee compound.

The lotus pond here has shallow water and many fish. The two of them often get together here because of their common hobby of fishing.

When we meet again at this time, it is a cold spring, the lotuses and leaves in the pond are withered, and the fish are hiding in the mud because of the cold weather. At this time, the sky is getting late, but there are people by the pond, which is perfect for the two of them to talk secretly.

"Secretary Cheng, you have to make up your mind on what to do with this case! After all, Xue Xiang is a party cadre, and it's your job as secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission to worry about!"

Zheng Xinggao saw Cheng Xuesong sitting on a bench between several willow trees from a distance, so he strode over and sat beside him. He lowered his butt firmly, threw out a white peony, and got straight to the point.

.

Cheng Xuesong took it, lit it, took a sip, and said: "What do I want to do? It's your responsibility, Old Zheng, to take care of matters within the scope of the Public Security Bureau. This matter can only be handled through normal criminal investigation and interrogation procedures."

"Really follow the normal procedure?"

Zheng Xinggao suddenly turned his head and stared at Cheng Xuesong. It was obvious that he smelled the smell.

After all, that’s not what Duan Gang told him when he came to the meeting just now. This old Cheng has a lot of thoughts!

When Zheng Xinggao tilted his head and paid attention, Cheng Xuesong also understood that this old Zheng might have received a mysterious phone call just like him and had other thoughts.

Otherwise, why would Zheng Xinggao ask in a surprised tone, "Really follow the normal procedures", a resolution that was almost outright vetoed by Duan Gang at the meeting earlier in the morning, when he should have directly said, "Mayor Duan did not confess..." and so on.

After all, he, Lao Zheng, was on Duan Gang's side. How could he dare to go against Duan Gang's wishes if it was for some reason.

Seeing the look in Cheng Xuesong's eyes, Zheng Xinggao also understood that the other party had understood his own eyes, so he decided not to show off anymore. After all, both parties were already in love with each other. If they went around any longer, they would waste each other's youth. "Secretary Cheng, I think it's better."

Strictly observe organizational discipline

To enforce the law and maintain judicial fairness, we cannot let some comrades off just because they have a good background or have served meritoriously. I think we still have to resolutely eliminate the black sheep from the revolutionary ranks. After that, I also reported this issue to Mayor Duan.

!”

As soon as Zheng Xinggao said this, Cheng Xuesong understood it completely. Although in the end, Zheng Xinggao only said that he had reported this problem to Duan Gang, but did not say what Duan Gang's attitude was, Zheng Xinggao's generous and generous attitude was not

Has Duan Gang's attitude been revealed?

Now it seems that Xue Xiang's elders who "care" deeply for him may have found Duan Gang, otherwise Mayor Duan, who was as soft as cotton before, would be as hard as iron now.

"I agree with Secretary Zheng's opinion. Merits are merits, faults are faults, merits are rewarded, and faults are punished. Our party's policy has never said that merits and demerits balance out! In my opinion, this case should be handled strictly. As a warning.

Follow suit!"

Now that the matter has come to this, Cheng Xuesong has completely made up his mind and will not waver again.

……………………

Soft carpets, snow-white walls, thick and solemn mahogany tables and chairs, the interior furnishings are simple but concise and elegant. This seems to be a conference room.

But for Xue Laosan at this moment, no matter how gorgeous this place is, it is still a prison cell. The prison cell where he is detained.

After "surrendering" in the conference room of the Municipal Party Committee Office at 1:10 noon, Xue Xiang was transferred here.

He has been here for a full four hours. During these four hours, no one has spoken to him. Except when he came in. After someone came in with a dinner plate, no one else even came.

[

Ordinarily Xue Xiang is considered a suspect now, otherwise he would not be locked up, but how can any suspect live in such a luxurious single room, let alone the main course of the meal provided by the Public Security Bureau at noon, but potatoes, beef, or even

There is also a can of imported beer.

When he saw the can of beer, Xue Xiang even wondered maliciously whether these people wanted to use alcohol to anesthetize themselves so that they could get something useful from themselves.

Of course, this is just fun that Xue Laosan imagined while sitting alone and chatting.

Because he understood that since Hong Cha dared to bring him here, he must have already prepared all the "criminal evidence".

At this time, if you don't interrogate yourself, firstly, there is no need for an interrogation. All the necessary things are complete, and we are just waiting for the final formality. Secondly, I am afraid that I am still waiting for news from the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee. Although the Municipal Party Committee Inspection Office

The director, a mere division-level official, committed a crime, which may not be worthy of a meeting of the municipal party committee standing committee to study and discuss, but Xue Laosan was confident that he, the supervisory director, had made a mistake and would certainly alert the standing committee to convene.

He even guessed that in addition to reporting the so-called crime details at the meeting, there would be all kinds of strange silences. He has this confidence in the current Xue system!

Of course, Xue Xiang knew that the resolution of the Standing Committee would definitely be detrimental to him, because since he had set up a trap, he would naturally do the whole thing, and his opponent was good at planning, how could he pass such a big decision as the Standing Committee?

The leaker is given to Mr. Xue.

Xue Xiang estimated that at the current hour, the Standing Committee should have ended long ago, but there is still no movement, which is puzzling.

Soon, Xue Laosan thought of those opponents who were always staring at him with magnifying glasses, burning incense all day hoping that he would make a mistake. I am afraid that the fact that there is no movement at this moment is the result of the activities of those people.

Yes, now he, Director Xue, is also a figure, especially Ji Lao's words of "the handsome guy in the party", which not only brought him such fame, but also caused him a lot of red eyes.

In addition, the Xue Clan is becoming more and more prosperous, and those who are good at planning the overall situation may have already targeted themselves, the Xue Clan's weakness.

Because although the Xue family is strong, the problem of a single and unstable internal structure cannot be concealed. Who is to say that the Xue family is new and has a small population.

Now that the news that he is in jail has spread, it would be strange if the demons don't dance wildly.

"Presumably the big guys from the municipal committee are tired of dealing with it!"

Xue Laosan muttered maliciously.

It can be said that Xue Laosan has been here for more than three hours. Naturally, he cannot just stare at the tables, chairs, and walls in a daze, let alone think about the changes in the external situation at this moment, but more importantly, he is reviewing the case and introspecting.

itself.

Let’s talk about the case first!

It is said that Xue Xiangren was "caught", but he really didn't know much about what he had committed, how he had committed it, and how to leave so-called conclusive evidence to others.

He knew that there were soldiers on duty who testified that he could not be convicted of murder, but he did not know that the murder charge had been cleared from his head at this moment.

He also knew that he had "raped" Ma Xiufen before he came in. He even knew Ma Xiufen's identity, but he didn't know what the so-called conclusive evidence was, because no one even came to interrogate him. What he knew was meager.

The news was given by Tie Jintou at the Star Cafe "before he was arrested".

Xue Xiang no longer thought about the so-called murder case. When he was at the Star Cafe, he heard Tie Jin say that the municipal party committee responded quickly to Lao Wang's death. He was designated a martyr, and it was certain that he would die in mourning.

Since Lao Wang was a close relative, Xue Xiang wanted to make amends, but he couldn't find anyone. He just wanted to wait until he left, find Lao Wang's grave, and pay homage to him.

As for Gu Dali and the others, Xue Xiang didn't bother to pursue them anymore. He had basically understood at this moment that Gu Dali and the others were just miserable people who were used as guns.

He who doesn't know is not guilty, Xue Xiang still has this kind of ambition, what's more, people are plotting against him, even if there is no Gu Dali, there is Zhang Dali.

Putting aside the troublesome matter of Lao Wang's death, Xue Xiang spent more than three hours sitting here in silence, almost entirely reviewing the circumstances of the case.

In his opinion, the crime of rape was very consistent with the skills of a conspirator. Xue Xiang certainly knew that this was one of the two most commonly used methods to bring down officials, whether in the past life or in this life.
