Yan Lian, deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and leader of the "5.16" special investigation team, before leading the task force to Xinleng County, his top boss, Zhou Jiqing, Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee, Xie Hongda, Minister of Organization of the Provincial Party Committee, and Wang Hai, Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, all talked to him separately. Officials and civil servants at all levels and departments involved in this case, no matter who is involved, must be investigated to the end, and there must be no concealment and protection.

Yan Lian didn't expect that the murder case in Xinleng County had attracted the attention of so many leaders, not only Governor Qin Ge and Secretary Zhou Jiqing personally made important instructions on the situation report, but also before he rushed to Xinleng, there were actually three members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee who talked to him, and Dun Dun warned himself to adhere to principles and handle cases strictly, and repeatedly emphasized: No matter what level of leadership is involved in this case, no matter how deep the background of the criminal suspect is, and how hard the background is, it must be investigated to the end, and it must not be concealed and protected. Timid

Xie Hongda, Minister of Organization of the Provincial Party Committee, also vaguely pointed out when talking to himself: Xinleng's case is not a simple case of underworld gang fighting, behind this case, many officials, many departments, and may even involve individual big people who will be surprised, therefore, in the process of handling the case, you must withstand the pressure from all sides, and do not be afraid of the power of some people, but to adhere to the principle, stick to the bottom line, and investigate to the end, if you feel the pressure when handling the case, You can report directly to Secretary Zhou, or even directly to Governor Qin, and we, including Governor Qin, will definitely support you and be your strong backing......

After Yan Lian finished talking with these leaders, he immediately felt unprecedented pressure in his heart, and he knew very well: Although the case that happened in Xinleng, although six people died, it was a gun case, and it was related to the underworld organization, and it caused a sensation and attention throughout the country, but no matter how you say it, it is only a criminal case, according to the convention, such a case, even if the provincial party committee is highly concerned, it should be ordered to the public security organs to solve the case within a time limit, arrest the criminals and punish them, and give the public an explanation.

However, in such a case, Governor Qin Ge and Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee Zhou Jiqing respectively gave stern instructions, clearly instructing them to find out the hidden circumstances behind this case and find out the backers and umbrellas behind the criminals, which is very unusual.

What is even more bizarre is that for such a criminal case, Wang Hai, secretary general of the provincial party committee, and Xie Hongda, director of the organization department of the provincial party committee, who have nothing to do with the political and legal organs, actually talked to themselves in person before they rushed to Xinleng County, encouraging themselves to act according to the law and investigate all the people involved in the case to the end.

Yan Lian has been appointed as deputy secretary of the provincial political and legal committee for many years, and he also vaguely knows that Qin Ge, the governor of the province, Xie Hongda, the organization minister of the provincial party committee, Wang Hai, the secretary general of the provincial party committee, including Zhou Jiqing, secretary of the provincial political and legal committee, are now the "local faction" in the provincial party committee, and the alliance formed with the newly arrived secretary Lu Zhiyao, the newly promoted secretary Li Runji, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee Long Fei, and the executive vice governor Zou Hancheng have been fighting openly and secretly, competing with each other, and now it is basically a situation of equal strength.

And now, the leaders who are talking to them are the backbone of the provincial governor Qin Ge, and the central meaning of their conversation is that the "5.16" case involves a senior official in the province.

From this, Yan Lian judged that he was now caught in a whirlpool of high-level power struggles, and this case in Xinleng County was by no means a simple case of underworld rush, and it may involve the power struggle of the high-level of the provincial party committee......

Therefore, when Tao Yong and Bi Huafeng were shuanggui by the special case team, and confessed that Chen Guitian of the Provincial Public Security Department and Liang Tanghua of the K City Public Security Bureau were guilty of harboring Gong Zhichao, Yan Lian immediately realized that this Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua were probably entrusted by a certain big leader in the province, so they came forward to exonerate Gong Zhichao, and the characters who can make these two department-level cadres who hold real power do this kind of thing willingly are definitely not simple horns, or their top boss, Guo Guangwei, director of the Provincial Public Security Department, Either it's the leader of the Standing Committee,

So, after Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua were arrested, he reported the matter to Secretary Zhou Jiqing as soon as possible.

When Zhou Jiqing heard that Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua had returned to the case, he happily praised Yan Lian and their special case team on the phone, and instructed him: The next step is to intensify the interrogation of Liang Tanghua and Chen Guitian, and make sure that they confess to whom they were instructed and which officials are involved in this case.

After Yan Lian received this instruction, he organized his efforts to increase the intensity of the interrogation of Liang Tanghua and Chen Guitian, but these two people insisted that their original decision on Gong Zhichao's case was based on evidence, a correct judgment made based on the circumstances at the time, and a collective decision, and was not instructed by anyone, and there was no problem of dereliction of duty and shielding criminals.

Yan Lian Zhi Lu Dao and these two people are both old people who have struggled on the public security front for most of their lives, and their mental quality is very strong, and they also know that the interrogators of Lu Dao dare not do anything to them, so their attitude is very tough, and they don't admit any problems at all.

Moreover, some members of the special case team are still members of the Provincial Public Security Department, and although in the process of interrogating these two people, these members have all recused themselves, but they have always paid close attention to the interrogation of these two people, and openly told the interrogators: Captain Chen and Director Liang are both famous old criminals, and they have made many great contributions in the past, so you should be polite and civilized when interrogating them, and if anyone dares to do anything to them, don't blame us for being unkind to you......

Therefore, after a day or two of interrogation, neither Chen Guitian nor Liang Tanghua gave anything of value, which made Yan Lian both irritable and helpless.

At this moment, Manager Zhao of Qingquan Hotel suddenly found the task force by himself, saying that he had important information about Gong Zhichao's case and wanted to report it to the task force.

After listening to Manager Zhao's report and watching the video evidence about Ye Ming, Yan Lian sensitively realized: A big fish has shown its head.

So, he immediately ordered the task force to summon Ye Ming and immediately interrogate him.
