The call with Qu Gang lasted for more than ten minutes before it ended, although Qu Gang was aggrieved on the surface, but in fact, he specifically thanked Chu Tianqi, and both of them knew it. Although Qu Gang still respects Chu Tianqi very much, it's just that the two of them are no longer the original superiors and subordinates, but more of friends, and they have to talk a lot more casually.

In addition to thanking Chu Tianqi for letting him do these things to gain fame, Qu Gang also said that the problems that exist now are mainly the attitude of Peng Shaogen, the deputy mayor in charge. In fact, as soon as Qu Gang arrived in Chengkang City, Peng Shaogen never gave him a good face, mainly because Qu Gang invisibly squeezed out Xue Wanli, and Xue Wanli was Peng Shaogen's ironcore, and Qu Gang was Chu Tianqi's old subordinate.

When Qu Gang reported on the progress of solving the case several times, Peng Shaogen showed great boredom, and there was no encouragement and comfort at all, and some were just blaming and picky. Just now, he even called Qu Gang to be more pragmatic and less flashy things, which is clearly to criticize Qu Gang's visit to veteran police cadres and martyrs' families, and clearly means that he used money to buy people's hearts. Not only that, Peng Shaogen also instructed on the phone that he should get a good grasp of cracking a criminal case two years ago and give an explanation to the victims.

Peng Shaogen suppressed Qu Gang, which was expected by Chu Tianqi, otherwise Peng Shaogen would not be Peng Shaogen. But to Chu Tianqi's surprise, Peng Shaogen did it immediately, which was too lacking in heart. It seems that Peng Shaogen's pattern is far from being corrected, which is not difficult to explain why he has never been corrected.

It was Chu Tianqi's idea to distribute the 10,000 yuan bonus to the veteran cadres of the public security front and the families of the martyrs. He knew that this approach was a bit high-profile and easy to be criticized, but he still advocated doing so, and he wanted Qu Gang to have an extra layer of protection.

In the end, he failed to chase the case to the end, failed to catch Chang Yongjin, and failed to dig out the real mastermind behind the scenes, but obeyed the overall situation with the intervention of a group of city leaders. Chu Tianqi had a lot of unwillingness, but he was also very helpless, he knew that it could only be like this now. In fact, when Biao Zi told Chang Yongjin's identity and his various relationships, Chu Tianqi had already realized that I was afraid that the case could only end here. It was based on this consideration that he instructed Qu Gang not to arrest Chang Yongjin, and then seemed to be unintentional but intentionally stabbed Wang Yongxin about the matter. Sure enough, Wang Yongxin asked to be on standby for the time being, and the final result of consultations with the leaders of the main municipal party committee was also subordinated to the overall situation.

From the current point of view, although the case was artificially stopped, it is inevitable that it will be anticlimactic, but it is also a relatively ideal result at the moment. If he did not report the matter to the mayor, but went directly to arrest Chang Yongjin, it was likely to alarm Pang Qinglong, or at least Zhang Pengfei. Pang Qinglong or Zhang Pengfei will definitely use the power in their hands to exert pressure, and they may also find trouble in the city from other aspects. Even if Pang and Zhang do not take action for the time being, as long as the main leaders of Chengkang City know Chang Yongjin's relationship network, and will definitely know that someone will definitely report the matter, then the city leaders will definitely be scared enough, and they will definitely ask the city bureau to take care of the overall situation.

If that is the case, the public security bureau will be more passive, it will be difficult to ride a tiger, and Chang Yongjin in his hand will be like a hedgehog, it is not to throw it, and it will not work if it is not thrown; in the end, it will have to be released, and it will make the city full of wind and rain, and it will be very passive. Qu Gang is bound to become the focus of the whirlpool of public opinion, and may also become a victim of this matter, and will be found by the city leaders to find other faults and take it down with the "collective decision of the municipal party committee".

Because Chang Yongjin was not directly arrested, and because he had to wait for the order of the city leaders, this won room for maneuver for the municipal party committee and government, and the city was able to take into account the overall situation. In order to commend the Municipal Public Security Bureau for being sensible, the city leaders also needed to seal their mouths, and not only gave awards to the public security and urban construction, but also specially rewarded Qu Gang himself. This seems to be a happy ending, but it leaves a hidden danger for Qu Gang, no matter how Qu Gang comes to complete this case, it is difficult to get rid of the suspicion of fraud, and it is difficult to ensure that the city will turn around and fight back afterwards.

It was precisely because of the possibility that the city might settle accounts after the autumn that Chu Tianqi asked Qu Gang to distribute bonuses in a high-profile manner, just to let people know that the case detection work had been recognized and rewarded by the city. Once the city wants to put all the responsibility on Qu Gang in the future, the city leaders will also have to consider whether they can choose him by themselves, and they will also be afraid when they turn their faces. In addition, the retired veteran policeman received Qu Gang's condolence money, and he may be able to help say something at a critical time, which can be regarded as pulling support for Qu Gang.

In order to protect Qu Gang, Chu Tianqi can be described as well-intentioned, but he also paid a great price, especially the city leaders' precautions against him and Qu Gang. But the lesser of two evils can only be done first.

……

Zhang Pengfei sat behind his desk, holding a large cigar in his hand, and his eyes were staring at the person in front of him.

Opposite Zhang Pengfei, stood a man in his forties with hairy hair. The man bowed slightly, looking very restrained and even a little scared under Zhang Pengfei's fierce gaze.

Zhang Pengfei suddenly smiled: "Lao Lu, is this news accurate?"

The man immediately accompanied the smiling face: "Mr. Zhang, it is absolutely accurate." The three strangers had been nowhere to be seen since the afternoon before yesterday, and they were not seen again until this morning. I didn't dare to be sloppy about this matter, I kept staring at it personally, and I also investigated the area within a radius of ten kilometers, and I didn't find any abnormalities again. ”

"Lao Lu, are you so sure?" Zhang Pengfei raised his eyebrows, "I've heard that they sent a total of four or five people, how did you find out three? Where did those two go?"

"Mr. Zhang, it is indeed three, there is no one else, please believe me. The man said something pitiful.

Zhang Pengfei smacked his mouth twice and said, "Lao Lu, I believe in you, in your character, and in your ability." But my sources are also very accurate, and we must not take it lightly, and we must verify where the people who did not show up are, whether they really did not arrive at the scene, or have been hiding in the shadows. By the way, take a good look at the people around you, and there must be no undercover agents, let alone moles. ”

"Mole, undercover, can't it?" Speaking of this, the man was busy and changed his words, "Okay, I will investigate it closely, and I must not let the strips be mixed in, once the mole is found, it will be severely punished." ”

"Lao Lu, it's okay to be careful. Zhang Pengfei's tone was gentle, "If you are not careful, you will lose all the games." ”

"Yes, that's what Mr. Zhang said. The man paused for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Didn't you say that Chengkang City had already announced the closure of the case and paid bonuses to the public security and urban construction?

"Cheng Kang did release the news of the closure of the case, and also issued a bonus, just because of such a small matter, the city took out a small 100,000 yuan, which is doubtful in itself. After speaking, Zhang Pengfei took a puff of the cigar in his hand.

The man smiled flatteringly: "Mr. Zhang, isn't it to block the mouths of those slivers when the city gives bonuses? As soon as those city leaders hear Mr. Zhang's name, and when they hear Pengcheng and Pengyan Company, they are afraid that their livers will tremble, what do they dare to move?"

Zhang Pengfei smiled "haha": "The small Chengkang City does want to give me some face, but it may not be without thorns." Then he changed the subject, "Don't underestimate small places, there may also be strong opponents there, but the opponents are very cunning, and we have to guard against them." ”

"Yes, what Mr. Zhang said, or you are far-sighted. The man continued to laugh, "So what do we do next?"

"Continue to observe, be sure to confirm that the strip has been withdrawn, and at the same time see if there is a mole. Zhang Pengfei's face turned pale, "You go." Tell Lao Chang that he is honestly drilling, eating and drinking, and women, don't go anywhere, and I'll let him know when it's safe. ”

"Yes, then I'll go first. After saying hello, the man exited the room.

Zhang Pengfei snorted: "The surname is Chu, let's see." ”

……

was still thinking about talking to Qu Gang about the phone, when there was a knock on the door, and Li Ziteng entered the house.

Straight to the desk, Li Ziteng said, "Mayor, I have something to report to you." ”

"Say it. Chu Tianqi put down the Chinese piece in his hand, raised his head, and looked at the other party.

Li Ziteng took another step forward and lowered his voice: "I came back from the municipal party committee building just now, and when I was about to turn the corner in the northeast corner of the government building, I heard Yang Yongliang calling. He said on the phone, 'Don't worry, Lao Wang has hinted to me, and I also cleverly passed the news to Lao Peng's secretary, Lao Peng will definitely pack up his surname Qu, you just wait for the good news.' As soon as I heard this, there was the sound of footsteps, and I hurriedly turned around and walked quickly to the municipal party committee building. As soon as I entered the first floor, I saw Yang Yongliang also walking towards the municipal party committee building, so I quickly hid in the toilet, and only came out of it after a while and returned to the government building. I felt that Yang Yongliang's phone call meant something, so I came to report to the mayor. ”

Chu Tianqi let out an "oh" and nodded, he understood. The content of Yang Yongliang's phone call is very clear, which clearly means that Wang Yongxin instructed Yang Yongliang, and Yang Yongliang revealed the relevant intentions to Peng Shaogen's secretary. Combined with Qu Gang's call, it is obvious that Wang Yongxin arched the fire to Peng Shaogen through Yang Yongliang, and Peng Shaogen immediately called to clean up Qu Gang. The content of Wang Yongxin's arch fire should be very simple, he must be talking about Peng Shaogen being in charge of public security, and he must be telling right and wrong, saying that Qu Gang only has Mayor Chu in his eyes and not Mayor Peng.

Seeing that Chu Tianqi was silent, Li Ziteng said softly: "Mayor, that's all." If it's okay, I'll go first. ”

"Good. Chu Tianqi nodded.

Li Ziteng turned around and walked out of the house, closing the door gently.

Chu Tianqi smiled, it seems that the high-profile condolences to the old public security cadres have a positive effect, and the negative effect has also come. This incident not only washed Peng Shaogen's lung tube, but also made Wang Yongxin uncomfortable, and there must be people who are unhappy. Wang Yongxin also reacted quickly and refused to let go of any opportunity. Thinking of Wang Yongxin, thinking of Peng Shaogen, and then thinking of some other people, Chu Tianqi couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many opponents, and they are really cunning." ”
