Qin Hai wanted to meet Ling Shijie, mainly to see what kind of face this benevolent brother was, in professional language, he just wanted to study what kind of material his face and mouth were made of. Being able to make polymer materials as unstoppable as alloy steel is enough for Qin Hai to worship.

With the phone number given by Guo Qiushi, Qin Hai easily contacted Ling Shijie. After the first report was issued, Ling Shijie planned to make persistent efforts to carry out a systematic report, so he lived in Xingchuan County for a period of time, and his mobile phone was kept on 24 hours a day, ready to write breaking news at any time.

Qin Hai only took Heizi alone, and the light car Jane came to the hotel where Ling Shijie lived. As soon as I walked in the door, I saw two people standing up on the chairs next to them, walking towards them, and asking sternly, "What are you doing?" ”

"Staying in a hotel, can't you?" Qin Hai replied angrily, he didn't deliberately want to hide the purpose of meeting Ling Shijie, but felt that these two people were very infamous. The hotel is not a private place, isn't it normal for guests to enter and exit, how can there be such a menacing question.

"Staying in a hotel? Where did it come from...... Oops, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it turned out to be Team Leader Qin, I didn't recognize it. ”

The man in the lead of the other party bowed forward, and his tone turned 180 degrees.

Qin Hai looked at it fixedly and couldn't help laughing. It turned out that this person was Zhang Peng, the captain of the Xingchuan County Criminal Police Team, when Qin Hai was doing research in Xingchuan some time ago, Gao Xuejian arranged for Zhang Peng to take a few criminal police officers to serve as bodyguards for them. Of course, whether Zhang Peng's task at that time was to protect Qin Hai or monitor Qin Hai, there was no need to delve into it.

"It's Zhang Peng, are you planning to arrest the fugitives?" Qin Hai asked with a smile.

"No, no, it's just a general security mission." Zhang Peng said respectfully, he knew that Qin Hai's identity was higher than Gao Xuejian. In front of Qin Hai, he naturally couldn't get angry.

Qin Hai was about to ask which big leader came to Xingchuan so much that he needed to send a police officer to protect him, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Why, you can't be protecting Reporter Ling, right?" ”

"Uh......" Zhang Peng was stunned for a moment. Team Leader Qin, you're not here to see Reporter Ling, are you? ”

"yes, is there a problem?" Qin Hai asked.

Zhang Peng didn't answer immediately, he looked up at the door, pointed with his hand, and said to his companion: "Xiao Liu, you go over and ask those two people what they are here for, and check their documents." ”

Xiao Liu greeted the two guests who had just walked into the hotel, and Zhang Peng took the opportunity to pull Qin Hai aside. said in a low voice: "Team Leader Qin, I won't tell you, we were arranged by the county to protect Reporter Ling here." The county has explained, and no one can contact Reporter Ling casually. ”

"What, your county wants to block the news?" Qin Hai asked.

Zhang Peng shook his head: "No...... Let me tell you the truth, what the county means is that if you want to meet reporter Ling, the situation reflected is conducive to the economic development of the county. and let them in; If it is an obstacle to economic development, we must find ways to dissuade it. Even if you can't stop them, make a note of their identity so you can take action in the future. ”

"Is this advantageous or hindering, is there any standard?" Qin Hai said curiously.

Zhang Peng glanced at Qin Hai, which meant "you know", but it was inconvenient to say it clearly in his mouth. Just vaguely said: "Economic development...... Our county is a big iron and steel county, so to promote the development of the steel industry is to promote economic development......"

"I see." Qin Hai nodded. Zhang Peng's hint is actually very clear, the Xingchuan County Government wants to protect the small steel industry, Ling Shijie just published a long newsletter. It is to cry out for the small steel industry, so it is in line with the interests of Xingchuan County.

Those who came to report the situation to Ling Shijie were divided into those who opposed the governance of small iron and steel, and those who supported the governance of small steel. The former is conducive to the economic development of Xingchuan, and the latter is not conducive to the economic development of Xingchuan. If someone comes to provide some materials that are unfavorable to Xiaogang, then Zhang Peng has the obligation to block it, or threaten it by registering his name and unit.

Zhang Peng, like Guo Qiushi, had already seen Qin Hai's energy in the days when he accompanied Qin Hai and them to investigate, so he had already saved his heart for refuge. Guo Qiushi was injured to save Qin Hai, and others couldn't see through it, but Zhang Peng knew in his heart that this was just a double reed sung by Qin Hai and Guo Qiushi. The county has long spread that after Guo Qiushi recovers from his injury, he can at least be promoted by two levels and solve a deputy department. Zhang Peng is also a person who pursues progress, how can he not know how to stand in line?

Gao Xuejian is still the magistrate of Xingchuan County, and he doesn't seem to see any signs of shaking his status. But Zhang Peng knew that Qin Hai had already grasped the evidence of Gao Xuejian's participation in the small steel business, and he might push Gao Xuejian down at any time. This time, Qin Hai led a team to seize inferior steel outside Xingchuan County, which showed Qin Hai's determination to do things, and also reflected that Qin Hai had completely distrusted the cadres in Xingchuan County, and it was only a matter of time before Gao Xuejian stepped down.

With such an understanding, on this occasion today, of course Zhang Peng wants to show his loyalty. He leaked the county's intentions to Qin Hai in the slightest, which was to make his position clear.

After hearing this, Qin Hai patted Zhang Peng's shoulder with a smile and said, "Lao Zhang is good. Last time, I bothered a few of you to provide us with full protection, and I haven't had a chance to thank you. When this is done, we will make an appointment with Lao Guo and have a few drinks. ”

"No problem, if it's in our Xingchuan County, I'll be the east." Zhang Peng said with a grin.

"Then can we go up and see Reporter Ling?" Qin Hai pointed upstairs with his finger and asked.

Zhang Peng said: "Team Leader Qin is going to see Reporter Ling, of course there is no problem...... However, we may report this situation to the county, no way, this is the system, Team Leader Qin can understand, right? ”

"Of course I understand, long live understanding." Qin Hai said.

After Zhang Peng's pass, Qin Hai took Heizi to the door of Ling Shijie's room and knocked lightly.

"It's coming!" A man in his 30s with glasses on the bridge of his nose opened the door, he looked at Qin Hai and Heizi, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Excuse me, is it Reporter Ling from Nandao?" Qin Hai asked.

"I'm Ling Shijie." The other party replied.

"I'm Qin Hai, deputy head of the Central Governance and Rectification Small Iron and Steel Action Working Group, and I've contacted you before." Qin Hai said.

"Oh, it's Team Leader Qin." Ling Shijie wasn't surprised, after all, Qin Hai had already called him before, he let open the door, made a gesture and said, "Two of you, please come in." ”

Qin Hai and Kuroko entered the door and sat down on the sofa. Ling Shijie poured a glass of water for the two of them, then sat on the chair opposite them, and asked lightly, "The two of you said you want to talk to me, what exactly do you want to talk about?" ”

"We don't have to make any detours, I'm here to discuss with Reporter Ling for the manuscript that Nandao just sent, this manuscript should be from Reporter Ling, right?" Qin Hai took out the newspaper that published the long newsletter and asked Ling Shijie.

Ling Shijie said: "Yes, I wrote it, and every word has a factual basis. ”

"Really?" Qin Hai showed a sarcastic smile, "You said that a peasant woman committed suicide by taking poison in front of the checkpoint, is this also true?" ”

"There are photos to prove it." Ling Shijie said.

"We have video from the scene that can prove that the peasant woman just faked suicide, and when our soldier shouted that there was a snake, she immediately got up and ran away. If Reporter Ling had been at the scene, he would have been able to see this scene. Qin Hai said.

Ling Shijie shook his head: "It's not important, the important thing is that she did commit suicide because of your brutal administrative actions." ”

"Do you think our administrative actions are wrong?" Qin Hai asked.

Ling Shijie said: "Of course, this is a rough behavior, which is completely contrary to the spirit of humanity. ”

"Reporter Ling, I want to inquire, how many reporters named Ling Shijie are in your magazine?" Qin Hai asked.

"How many?" Ling Shijie was a little confused, "Of course there is only one." ”

Qin Haidao: "Then a year ago, your publication published a newsletter also signed by this reporter Ling Shijie, exposing the fact that small steel is flooding in Xingchuan County, which also specifically proposed that in troubled times, departments at all levels should take tough measures to completely crack down on these illegal iron and steel enterprises and put an end to the outflow of inferior steel. Isn't everything we are doing now what that reporter Ling suggested? ”

Of course, Ling Shijie could think that Qin Hai would start from this place, he smiled slightly, and said, "Yes, that is indeed what I wrote. But what I said is that the government should crack down on small iron and steel enterprises that violate the law, not that you should crack down on all small iron and steel enterprises without distinguishing between the dragon and the dragon. Your blow this time has clearly affected many small businesses operating legally, and has had a serious impact on the lives of farmers. ”

"Can reporter Ling tell me which company has been wronged?" Qin Haidao.

Ling Shijie said: "I'm sorry, I have to protect the privacy of my informant. ”

Qin Haidao: "If our actions infringe on the legitimate interests of any company, they can file an administrative lawsuit, and your media can also report on it, and it does not involve any privacy issues." On the contrary, without providing any evidence, you accuse our administrative acts of being suspected of spreading rumors, and you will bear legal responsibility. ”

Ling Shijie sneered and held up a tape recorder and said, "Is Team Leader Qin threatening our media?" I've got the full recording here. ”

"Reporter Ling, we also have a complete recording here, which can be provided to your competent authorities at any time." Kuroko also held up a small device next to him, which was an electronic voice recorder that was very rare on the market.

"Please." Ling Shijie said with righteousness, "Since the day I became a reporter, I have sworn that no force can make me turn my back on justice, love and conscience. (To be continued......)
