After Chang Jian called Shi Wanbo, the executive deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department, Yan Tao only had a few words with the deputy director of the Shaozhuang faction, and it was too late, and the meeting could only be tomorrow.

At Yan Tao's request, Deputy Director Shi called the department leader on duty, informed Yan Tao's phone number, and asked that everything be done according to the instructions of the Yan Bureau.

As soon as they got to work the next morning, Yan Tao and Cheng Xiaowei met with Shi Wanbo and the leaders of the Criminal Police Corps of the Central Plains Provincial Public Security Department, which was almost a courtesy visit, and the two sides talked for more than half an hour in a cordial and friendly atmosphere.

The Central Plains police said that they would fully cooperate with the leaders of the Ministry of Public Security in handling the case, and designated a detachment under the Criminal Police Corps to cooperate with the work.

Cheng Xiaowei also unceremoniously handed over to them the task of sorting out the situation of the shareholders and affiliated companies of the Tianlong Company where the Minister of Security was located, this is transactional work, even if someone wants to manipulate something, it is not a big problem.

What's more, Yan Tao and Cheng Xiaowei have other arrangements.

After the notice on the arrest of Security Minister Li Weidong was sent, there was no news from the Central Plains Provincial Police, and Yan Tao had already booked a ticket to Nangui early tomorrow morning, and there was a new situation there, and Tian Chong had already called him to report it, and he was not at ease.

Seeing that Yan Tao didn't look anxious at all, Wang Han couldn't sit still, regardless of whether Yan Tao was resting at noon, he knocked on his door.

"Yan Ju, are you leaving tomorrow? But there's no eyebrow here, right? The security minister is still missing, and the station, airport, and highway are all under control, is this guy hiding? There is also the possibility that there are still people within us who are complicit with them. ”

Yan Tao stretched out his hand and invited Wang Han to sit on the sofa and poured him a cup of tea. Only then did he say unhurriedly: "Director Wang, don't be impatient." The Minister of Security has been arrested at the airport in a neighbouring province. I received a notification an hour ago that you were not there at that time, and I would like to wait until noon to inform you. ”

Wang Han was stunned for a moment, and then stood up in surprise: "Yan Bureau? Is this true? This guy must know a lot of secrets, and as soon as he opens his mouth, the case is half solved. ”

After speaking, he sat down again, and said with some frustration: "Listen to Lao Cong, this guy is from a special forces." I'm afraid it's not easy to judge. ”

Yan Tao nodded: "Well, this point has long been expected, and we can't put the treasure on him alone, I will also pay attention to this case when I leave."

"In addition, our Director Cheng is a very experienced investigator, and the others are also outstanding people drawn from all over the world, so you can rest assured, I am confident in this case. It shouldn't take long to solve the case. ”

When Yan Tao arrived at the airport in Haibin City, Nangui Province, the scene was much grander than in Zhongzhou, and the director of the Nangui Provincial Public Security Department personally led a team to pick up the plane, and Tian Chong, Li Wei, and Xuan Wenyu, three subordinates, also arrived. Xi Zijun, political commissar of the Armed Police Corps, also came to the airport to welcome him, which made Yan Tao feel flattered.

But think about it again, Yan Tao knows. He is a little self-inflicted, and these people are not giving him the face of this nominal deputy director-general. It's a kind of mutual care, and to put it bluntly, it's all the face of his subordinate Tian Chong.

Tian Chong as his subordinate and junior brother. I can't help but pick him up, since Xi Zijun, the political commissar of the Armed Police Corps, is an old comrade-in-arms of Tian Chong's father, needless to say, he has personal feelings for Tian Chong, and Tian Lao's face, so he naturally wants to protect Tian Chong.

The Public Security Department has repeatedly failed to crack down on border disputes and criminal cases, and has been severely criticized by its superiors.

The sedan chair is carried by everyone, which is also the tradition of the Chinese people.

Yan Tao felt a little helpless, he had already said that he didn't need Tian Chong to pick up the plane this time, let alone spread the news of his arrival, but Tian Chong's reason was also very sufficient, because the matter was special, waiting for him, the supreme leader of the case, to come over and make a decision, so they had nothing to do here for the time being.

But when he called Tian Chong, Xi Zijun was with Tian Chong, and Xi Zijun and Wang Shunzhang were old friends, so they engaged in mobilizing the public.

Fortunately, the Provincial Public Security Department and the Armed Police Corps did not come too many people, the two leaders only brought their own secretaries and staff officers, and the Provincial Department came to a criminal police captain, the team is not huge, and there are not many cars, only two, one is the Buick business car of the Provincial Department, and the other is the Audi of the Armed Police Corps.

At noon, a small welcome luncheon was held at the Zhennan Hotel in Binhai City, where Yan Tao and several personnel from six places stayed, which was attended by members of the Standing Committee of the Nangui Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee.

Because it is a purely official event, sometimes at noon, the lunch does not last long, and it ends in just over an hour.

Yan Tao returned to his suite and summoned Tian Chong, Li Wei, and Xuan Wenyu for a short meeting.

Yan Tao hurried to Nangui Province this time because there was a new situation here, Tian Chong just said it briefly on the phone, and now he will officially report it in person.

The main mission of the six departments to Nam Gui Province this time was to rescue three Chinese businessmen who had been abducted by armed bandits who were mainly active in the southern neighboring country of Annam.

Yan Tao carefully studied the situation in Annan.

In recent decades, Annan has been divided, that is, warlordism.

Among them, the largest group of warlords has formed a government, known as the government army, and this force has a good relationship with our country.

Since China has always adhered to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, it has always taken a wait-and-see attitude towards the issue of Annam, and has mainly encouraged people-to-people exchanges with the so-called government forces, and has rarely developed official relations, and such people-to-people exchanges are mainly coordinated by the border province of Nangui.

Annan's second largest military bloc is very independent on the surface, but in fact it has been secretly close to Western countries, and our country has never been able to exert influence on it.

In this regard, some experts on the Annan issue in China have written an article euphemistically criticizing the foreign affairs department for its erroneous policy toward Annan, its negligence in management, and its rashness in handing over such an important foreign affairs activity to a border province.

In the past two years, the situation in Annan has been somewhat calmer, there has been less friction between the two major military blocs, and the political atmosphere has been relatively relaxed.

DeLong was a humanitarian writer, his works were so popular in Annan that he was known almost to every household, and he himself enjoyed a high reputation among civilians and even soldiers.

Therefore, due to political influence, the government forces have not been able to take tough measures against him when he returned to China this time.

It is rumored that Delong has been in close contact with Colonel Wu Wen for the past year or so.

This time, Colonel Wu Wen, the leader of Annam's second largest military force, personally sent an urgent report to the Nangui side, saying that they had a definite clue about the kidnapped merchants of our country.

I hope we will send someone to negotiate.

Originally, this was a good thing, but in the past decade or so, due to the frequent contacts between the Nangui side and the government army, which deliberately suppressed the Wu Wen forces, the relationship between the two sides was tense and the misunderstanding was deepening, and there was no official personnel exchange at all.

Therefore, the other party put forward harsh conditions.

Wu Wen's sense of smell is very sensitive, and they seem to have sensed our movements in this regard, and have proposed that the leaders of the police department of our central government personally go to the talks.

And it can only go alone, to be able to directly make the decision, of course, they also promise that they will ensure the safety of our personnel.

This condition is very certain, and there is no need to even bring a translator, due to traditional reasons, the high-level of Annam almost regards knowing Huaxia as an honor, and some Annam nobles are even more fluent in Mandarin than people in Nangui Province.

Although the attitude of the other party is arrogant, we have nothing to do, the words were brought by a businessman, and this businessman is absolutely reliable.

Moreover, the mentality of our urgency to rescue the kidnapped businessmen is also well known, and this is related to the face of a big country.

After getting the news, Tian Chong once wanted to go to the appointment, but was stopped by Li Wei.

Before leaving, Yan Tao had a brief conversation with Li Wei alone, and gave Li Wei a task, that is, to ensure Tian Chong's absolute safety no matter what, which was a political task. (To be continued......)
