Panson stood still in the doorway of his office, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Seeing that Zhou Wenhao didn't raise his head, he cleared his throat before he said in a deep voice: "Director Zhou." ”

Zhou Wenhao, who was writing, stopped moving, raised his head to look at Pan Sen at the door, and pretended to be surprised and asked, "Director Pan?"

"Yes. Pan Sen nodded, and the word "Chuan" in the center of his eyebrows wrinkled a little deeper.

"Hahahaha, I'm so embarrassed, I'm so embarrassed. Zhou Wenhao apologized repeatedly, laughed and stood up to greet Pan Sen, "It's really rude that I couldn't greet each other when we met for the first time." ”

"Director Zhou is half a level higher than me, so there is no reason to greet him, so you don't need to be polite. Pan Sen walked into the office and shook hands with Zhou Wenhao.

"Director Pan, please take a seat. Zhou Wenhao pointed to the sofa in the rest area, and then turned around to open the refrigerator door, "Director Pan came to the inspector's hall, what do you usually drink?"

His face changed slightly, and Pan Sen said slowly: "This is the first time I have come to the Inspector's Hall, and pure water is fine." ”

"Oh, I see. Zhou Wenhao took two cans of imported beer, pressed one of them on the coffee table in front of Pan Sen, and opened the other can to take a sip, and then sat down opposite Pan Sen, "So, this is the first cooperation between the ICAC Bureau and the Inspectorate?"

Glancing lightly at the can of beer in front of him, Panson had a slight dissatisfaction in his eyes. He understood that Zhou Wenhao wanted to use this to establish authority on himself and prohibit him from participating in Qi Kuan's corruption case.

"The ICAC and the Inspectorate have been working closely together in dealing with cases of corruption among police officers. After all, the two have overlapping jurisdictions in this regard, and it is difficult to separate them. Pan Sen said in a deep voice, "When Major General Zhong Ruoxi is in Hong Kong, he will also send a letter to the ICAC to ask for advice when he encounters similar cases, so as to strive for the proper handling of each case." ”

Zhou Wenhao chuckled, and the mockery on his cheeks was quite intense. When Chung was the head of the Lingang Inspectorate, she did send a letter to the ICAC when dealing with similar corruption cases. But that is generally a procedure after the case is handled, which is purely perfunctory. The ICAC also dared to be angry about this, let alone put forward any opinions. Unexpectedly, after Pan Sen said this, he was quite a bit valued by Zhong Ruoxi.

Pan Sen didn't want to dwell too much on this embarrassing issue, his body leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "The purpose of my coming here, I believe that Director Zhou is already very clear..."

"Of course I know, but I have a question. Zhou Wenhao paused slightly, "I heard that Qi Kuan's aunt is Director Pan's wife, which means that you are Qi Kuan's uncle, is the situation true?"

"Yes. ”

Zhou Wenhao asked a little aggressively: "Since there is such a sensitive relationship, why didn't you avoid it?"

"I believe that the Executive Council has taken this situation into account when discussing the merits of the case. "As for why I wasn't asked to avoid it, it's really not something I can answer. If Director Zhou has doubts, he can ask the chief executive for instructions and make a new decision. ”

"But before that, I also ask Director Zhou to cooperate with my work. The focus of our work is on the facts of the case, rather than on pure personal bias. ”

Zhou Wenhao didn't want to drive Pan Sen out of the core of the investigation on the grounds of his relatives' avoidance, and it was precisely because he couldn't do it that he would be quick to talk here.

"Since it's work, we naturally need to cooperate with each other. Zhou Wenhao said with a smile.

"Director Zhou can say that, which makes me feel at ease. Pan Sen's face was full of sincerity, "As for official corruption, I have always advocated investigating to the end and dealing with it seriously, and treating Qi Kuan is naturally no exception." ”

Zhou Wenhao narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Pan Sen silently, wanting to see what tricks he could play.

"I have read the report submitted by Director Zhou before I came, and the evidence is conclusive and beyond doubt. What we have to do now is to let Qi Kuan speak. As long as he confesses the complete facts of the crime, he can be convicted and sentenced. ”

Zhou Wenhao really couldn't wait to throw a big white eye, Pan Sen muttered for a long time, talking all nonsense. If Qi Kuan had spoken so easily, would Lao Tzu still keep you sitting across from him now? I'm afraid even you will be sent to prison.

"Director Zhou, have you made the latest progress?"

"Nope. Zhou Wenhao coughed lightly, "Qi Kuan himself is very uncooperative, and he has not made a breakthrough so far." ”

"He's the chief of the Gangbei Police, so he knows how to do it. Pan Sen stared at Zhou Wenhao, "Our Integrity Bureau has its own set of methods to deal with this kind of guy who knows the law and violates the law, Director Zhou might as well hand him over to me to give it a try." ”

Zhou Wenhao instantly understood, Pan Sen had gone around in such a big circle, and it turned out that he was waiting for him here.

"Do you want to take Qi Broadband away? ”

Zhou Wenhao thought secretly in his heart, but said quietly on the surface: "After all, this is a corruption case of the police department, and I still hope that the Integrity Bureau can cooperate from the side." ”

"Hahahaha, I just said casually, Director Zhou is not so sensitive. Pan Sen laughed exaggeratedly, "However, according to the resolution of the Executive Council, it is specified that the ICAC and the Inspectorate will jointly investigate, but now Director Zhou only wants the ICAC to cooperate, which is a bit reasonable..."

"I will report this directly to the Chief Executive, and I would like to reassure Director Pan. Zhou Wenhao said to himself, wanting to take the initiative first.

"Understood, understood. Pan Sen raised his hands and got up with a smile, "Then I'll go and take a look at Qi Kuan, it's always okay, right?"

"Director Pan, please. Zhou Wenhao said in a somewhat unnatural tone, he watched Pan Sen walk out of the office, savoring what he had just said, and always felt that something was wrong.

Since Pan Sen is Qi Kuan's uncle, he will definitely do his best to protect him. But why did he lose the battle and transfer the investigative power to himself after just a preliminary conversation?

"It seems that Zhong Ruoxi is bound to bully you. Zhou Wenhao took a sip of beer and said softly...

Qi Kuan heard the footsteps, and only then lazily lifted his eyelids.

Pan Sen turned his head and asked, "Superintendent Qiao, can I speak to Director Qi alone?"

Qiao Xue stood at the door, without speaking or moving.

Pan Sen smiled slightly, propped up the table with one hand, and stared at Qi Kuan opposite: "With both public and private, I want to advise you, blindly resisting, there is no way out." ”

Qi Kuan said: "I was wronged and applied for reconsideration by the Executive Council." ”

After a moment of silence, Pan Sen's voice was low: "The chief executive has made a reply tonight to maintain the original resolution. If you want to change this directive, you will need more than two-thirds of the members of the Executive Council to submit a joint report, as you can imagine. ”

The corners of his mouth tugged slightly, and Qi Kuan smiled and asked, "With you saying that, I have no way to live?"

"You just have to tell the facts, as for whether you have a way to survive or not, it's not something I can decide. Until the matter is investigated, no one can give you a satisfactory answer. ”

The two looked at each other for more than ten seconds, and Qi Kuan suddenly nodded: "Okay, I'll explain the problem." ”

Pan Sen seemed quite satisfied, and turned to look at Qiao Xue with a surprised face: "Superintendent Qiao, please come to the recorder." ”

"Ahh Qiao Xue came back to her senses, pushed open the door and beckoned, "Transcriptionist!"

A female superintendent walked into the interrogation room with a notebook and sat aside.

Qiao Xue looked around the interrogation room, and finally pulled out a chair and sat down next to Pan Sen.

But at this time, Pan Sen stood up again, poured a glass of water and put it in front of Qi Kuan, and then leaned lightly on the table: "Superintendent Qiao, can you open Director Qi's handcuffs?"

Qiao Xue glanced at the recorder beside her, who stood up and walked over, opened the handcuffs and sat back down.

"It's time to go. Pan Sen raised his hand at Qi Kuan.

Drinking all the water in the cup, Qi Kuan raised his hand and wiped the corners of his mouth: "Let me explain what the problem?"

Qiao Xuejing said to herself: "Your relationship with Qi Wood. ”

Pan Sen glanced at Qiao Xue lightly and didn't say anything.

"Zilwood is my cousin, I've said that before. Qi Kuan breathed a sigh of relief, "But there is one thing I have concealed, I have been in intermittent contact with Zilwood all these years. He sometimes sends me something, after all, it's a brotherly relationship, and rightfully so. ”

"What did you give?"

Qi Kuan pondered for a moment: "I sent a few ginseng sticks last year, and he said that a friend brought them back from Baitou Mountain in Huaxia. ”

"What else?"

"It's gone. Qi Kuan's eyebrows raised slightly, "I really didn't expect him to do those things outside in my name." ”

"You don't know?" Qiao Xue's eyes turned cold, "What about Ma Lijun?"

"I've met that woman a few times, and Zilwood once introduced her to me. Qi Kuan paused slightly, and his voice became deeper and lower, "I thought she was the young lady of Jiufang Entertainment-City, so I never took it to heart." ”

Qiao Xue asked, "Do you have an improper relationship with her?"

"Superintendent Qiao, what is an improper relationship?" Qi Kuan asked with a smile, "I'm still unmarried, it's not illegal to find a woman to sleep with, right?"

"Qi Kuan!" Qiao Xue slapped the table angrily, "You're still playing with me!" Ma Lijun has been your underground lover for so many years, and has managed your finances for seven years, and you want to get rid of it with a word?"

"Superintendent Joe. Pan Sen cleared his throat, "Don't be in a hurry, Director Qi is willing to speak, we have already made a breakthrough." ”

While speaking, Pan Sen had already walked to the table, snatched the materials in front of Qiao Xue and sat down: "Superintendent Qiao doesn't seem to be suitable for this business, so let me ask next." ”

Qiao Xue's delicate body froze, and Mei glared at Pan Sen and wanted to refute, but after hesitation, she silently endured it. At this time, Qiao Xue hadn't noticed the problem yet, but what happened later really made her and Zhou Wenhao regret everything that happened today.
