The neighboring counties were unusually calm. Peng Yuanzheng, the executive deputy county magistrate who presided over the crackdown on gangsters and evil forces, was still living in the hospital, and there was no major movement from the county public security bureau. In the county party committee and county government organs, they are also step-by-step and unfazed.

But this calmness gives a feeling of oppression on the eve of a storm.

At 11:18 a.m. on the third day, the city held the "Launching Ceremony of the Urban Gas Supply Project" in a neighboring county, which was jointly organized by the Municipal Government Office and the Municipal Economic and Trade Commission, leaving aside the county. Of course, the county will definitely support activities on the territory of neighboring counties.

Mayor Zhou Xishun will attend the ceremony in person. The ceremony was presided over by Executive Vice Mayor Meng Qiang, and relevant leaders at the city and county levels attended the ceremony.

Zhou Xishun arrived at the neighboring county more than half an hour ahead of schedule. Sun Xuelin and Gong Hanlin county leaders surrounded Zhou Xishun and walked into the lounge of the temporary headquarters, while Meng Qiang stayed at the event site to personally guide the event arrangement.

Zhou Xishun glanced at it, but didn't find Peng Yuanzheng's figure, and couldn't help but smile indifferently, "Why isn't Comrade Yuanzheng here?" He is the commander-in-chief of the engineering headquarters of the gas source plant of this project! ”

Sun Xuelin said with a smile, "Mayor Zhou, Comrade Yuanzheng has been unwell recently, and he is in the hospital, he rushed directly from the hospital, he should be almost there." ”

Zhou Xishun was surprised: "Sick? ”

Gong Hanlin said with a smile, "It may be that I have a lot of work problems recently, I am under pressure, I have a bad cold, and I have been procrastinating." ”

"Let him pay attention to his body, but such a young and promising comrade still needs to be burdened more!" Zhou Xishun did not continue to dwell on this issue, but took the initiative to divert the topic.

It was at this time. Peng Yuanzheng left the hospital and drove to the project construction site in the northeast of the suburbs. Two people from the criminal police team wanted to follow, but he refused.

Peng Yuanzheng drove out of the hospital and into the central area of the county, because it was nearly noon, there were many vehicles and pedestrians commuting to and from work, and the speed could not be raised. Fortunately, Peng Yuan's expedition was full of time and he was not in a hurry.

Walked about a kilometer away. As he approached leaving the county seat, he suddenly felt that the brakes were a little insensitive. However, he didn't pay much attention to it at the time. In the spirit of prudence. Or slowly lower your speed and drive at a speed of no higher than 30 km/h.

When his car pulls into the Outer Ring Road, at the intersection of the Outer Ring Road and the National Highway. There were a lot of large trucks passing by, a minibus suddenly came out of his left front, and there was also a sand truck on the right at this time, Peng Yuanzheng subconsciously wanted to slow down and stepped on the brakes, until this time, he suddenly found that the brakes were completely out of order!

In a state of emergency, Peng Yuanzheng slammed the steering wheel and pulled down the handbrake, and the car brushed the edge of the minibus. Rushed towards the green belt at the intersection.

Car horns blared, vehicles at intersections were in chaos, and the sound of emergency brakes and exclamations was endless. Peng Yuanzheng's black Poussin slammed into the ground with a loud bang, knocking down the small saplings that had just been planted, and then frantically crushed through the lush holly bushes and rushed forward for a few meters.

Peng Yuanzheng did not appear at the event. Until the start of the launching ceremony. People from the county government office called Peng Yuanzheng several times, but they couldn't get in touch. It is impossible for such an event to be postponed because of Peng Yuanzheng's absence, or it will be held on time, but many city and county officials have not found Peng Yuanzheng's figure, which feels a little strange.

The ceremony was brief. It was over in seven or eight minutes, and Mayor Zhou Xishun's speech was only about two minutes. Zhou Xishun, Meng Qiang and other city leaders prepared to rush back to the city directly, but declined the county's invitation and did not stay for dinner.

Huo Guangming ran over with a very ugly face, and whispered a few words in Gong Hanlin's ear, Gong Hanlin was shocked, and immediately grabbed Sun Xuelin, secretary of the county party committee.

Sun Xuelin's face also became embarrassed when he heard this.

……

Zhou Xishun frowned, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" Tell me more! ”…,

"Mayor Zhou, Comrade Yuanzheng had a car accident at the intersection. Judging by the preliminary investigation of the traffic police and the criminal police team and the reaction of the expeditionary comrades themselves, the brake system of the car is suspected to have been damaged and malfunctioned. ”

Gong Hanlin said hurriedly.

Zhou Xishun's body was shocked: "Does it matter if the body of the expeditionary comrade is important?" ”

"Mayor Zhou, Comrade Expedition was slightly injured during the emergency collision, and there should be no danger to life. People from the county hospital and the county public security bureau have arrived at the scene. ”

Zhou Xishun waved his hand, and his face was ugly and calm: "Old Meng, let's go, let's go to the hospital to see the expeditionary comrades!" ”

Meng Qiang's face had become a little pale and angry. You must know that Peng Yuanzheng is not only his nephew, but also the third generation of the direct Feng family in the capital.

……

Peng Yuanzheng was fine, his head was bruised and he had two stitches. He lay quietly on the hospital bed, his face silent and calm, but Zhong Xiuwei could feel the huge angry energy hidden in his heart, and if this energy broke out, it would definitely be shocking.

He remained silent all the time, silent.

Including Zhou Xishun and Meng Qiang who came to visit with city and county leaders before, he treated them with a smile and did not show any ups and downs.

"Lao Zhong, tell me about the results of the investigation." Peng Yuanzheng said softly.

"The leader and the maintenance personnel found that the oil pipe and brake induction line of the hydraulic brake system of the left front wheel of the car were artificially cut. The oil pipe, brake induction line, and the incision are very neat, and they should be cut by a sharp knife. The brake oil pipe is cut, causing the brake fluid to leak out, and the hydraulic brake system will fail when there is no oil. Zhong Xiuwei's voice was low, "Please rest assured, we are launching a secret investigation and striving to bring the suspect to justice in the shortest possible time!" ”

"There's no need to do anything more, except for Zhang Dahu's people, who would dare to attack me." Peng Yuanzheng smiled coldly, "Report to the county party committee and county government immediately, and at the same time report to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to make the results of this investigation public!" ”

According to the attitude of Sun Xuelin, secretary of the county party committee, it is still not appropriate to make this matter public among the people, because the repercussions are too great and it is easy to cause turmoil in the county. Just imagine, someone secretly wants to set up a scheme to try to murder the Standing Committee of the county party committee and the executive deputy county magistrate, who is extremely bold and arrogant!

But Zhong Xiuwei followed Peng Yuanzheng's order, and while going through the normal reporting procedure, he also "disseminated" the news through various channels.

The news spread throughout the city in the shortest possible time. Whether it is officialdom or the community, it has greatly shaken and focused on everyone. Reporters from the city's media gathered in front of the hospital or the public security bureau to ask for an interview. Peng Yuanzheng did not give an interview, but Xie Hui, deputy secretary of the party committee and deputy director of the county bureau, frankly announced the preliminary results of the investigation to the media on behalf of the party committee of the public security bureau.

People from the Public Security Bureau gave interviews to the media without the consent of the county party committee and made the case public, which made Sun Xuelin, secretary of the county party committee, furious. But at such a critical and sensitive moment, he can't show anything.

Dongfang Yan, secretary of the municipal party committee, was furious and slapped the table in the office on the spot. Dongfang Yan immediately ordered the Municipal Public Security Bureau to send a team of experts to the neighboring county to guide and assist the neighboring county in carrying out the work of cracking down on criminal syndicates and eliminating evil, and at the same time let the criminal investigation detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau take over the handling of the case from the county bureau.

The criminal police detachment of the city bureau specially sent several criminal policemen to the neighboring county to protect Peng Yuanzheng closely, which made the faces of the criminal police brigade of the county bureau very disgraceful.

But they are also dumb, and they can't say what they suffer from eating Coptis chinensis. Peng Yuanzheng's car had been parked in the hospital parking lot for several days, and they hadn't noticed this detail -- and the gangsters involved had actually manipulated Peng Yuanzheng's car right under their noses. …,

Afterwards, Hu Yue took someone to check the location where Peng Yuanzheng parked, and there was obviously an oil stain under the body, which was undoubtedly the motive for the murder.

In the city, whether it was Meng Qiang or Song Bingnan, they were all hesitating whether to report the news to the Feng family in the capital. Obviously, such news is enough to trigger the thunderous anger of the Feng family, and maybe it will directly alarm Feng Lao in the big red gate.

But Meng Qiang or Song Bingnan still didn't take the initiative to "ventilate the news", because they knew very well in their hearts that the Feng family in the capital knew every move of Peng Yuanzheng in Xin'an - this matter, at most, was delayed for two days, and the Feng family still got the news.

Xu Chunting, the provincial party secretary in the provincial capital, was informed almost at the same time. When he received the news, Xu Chunting's palms almost trembled. The importance of Peng Yuanzheng to the Feng family and Feng Lao is unknown to others, but he knows it. This is not only the third generation deliberately cultivated by the Feng family, but also an old man's great expectations for the inheritance of the bloodline of his heirs.

Xu Chunting hesitated and deliberated, but still did not intervene, but secretly instructed the relevant leaders of the provincial department to make various preparations at any time to support the work of cracking down on criminal syndicates and eliminating evil in the neighboring counties of Xin'an City.

……

On September 24, at 3 p.m. on the third day after the "brake case" occurred, the county party committee convened a temporary emergency meeting to combat organized crime and eliminate evil to arrange and deploy the latest law enforcement activities. Sun Xuelin, secretary of the county party committee, Gong Hanlin, county magistrate, You Tao, secretary of the political and legal committee, Peng Yuanzheng, executive deputy county magistrate and head of the Public Security Bureau, Gou Lie, head of the working group and deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, attended the meeting, and Xie Hui, Zhong Xiuwei and Zhang Yaqiang of the county public security bureau attended the meeting as observers.

Sun Xuelin, Gong Hanlin and others came to the conference room early, but Peng Yuanzheng and Xie Hui did not arrive for a long time.

Sun Xuelin raised his wrist and looked at his watch, tilted his head and smiled at Gong Hanlin, "Old Gong, why hasn't Comrade Expedition arrived yet?" ”

Gong Hanlin groaned, "It should be soon, is there something delayed temporarily, don't worry, let's wait for a while!" ”

Sun Xuelin frowned, and was about to say something, when he suddenly saw Peng Yuanzheng striding into the conference room, with a snow-white bandage on his forehead, and his expression was calm. Behind Peng Yuanzheng were Xie Hui, Zhong Xiuwei and Zhang Yaqiang.

Gou Lie stared at Peng Yuanzheng's figure and sighed slightly. is not lamenting Peng Yuanzheng's fate, but lamenting his tenacity, perseverance and calmness. Walking on the edge of life and death, it is impossible for anyone to be so calm. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
