"Ding Maosheng, you know the power of science and technology, if necessary, I can sketch out the trajectory of your activities last night, down to which street and which person's house your car was parked in. In the meantime, based on your correspondence, I can make a long list of people you have contacted or who have approached you. ”

"So, just identify the places you went to last night and investigate further to determine what you did last night. What's worse is that if you find the people on that long list one by one, it's easy to ask what you said when you contacted them. I don't believe that your offensive and defensive alliance is unbreakable, and none of those people are willing to take the initiative to confess. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Haodong said proudly: "This is called beating the grass and scaring the snake and leading the snake out of the hole." Now, I'm not just 60 percent, I'm more than 90 percent sure."

Ding Maosheng's face was like ashes, and he couldn't speak.

"Ding Maosheng, don't play tricks with me. At the same time, let me tell you, in the position you sit, there was a corrupt official who held a gun to me. I struck first and shot him. I advise you, there are two ways, either the dog jumps over the wall and resists to the end, or takes the initiative to confess the problem. ”

Glancing at Ding Maosheng again, Xu Haodong waved his hand, "You go." ”

Ding Maosheng didn't say anything, glanced at Xu Haodong, got up slowly, and walked towards the door with heavy steps.

At the door, Ding Maosheng stumbled and almost hit the door.

Under Xu Haodong's gaze, in Xu Haodong's sigh, Ding Maosheng's back disappeared. Xu Haodong collapsed on the sofa and closed his eyes in pain.

In the afternoon, Xu Haodong, who was heartbroken for Ding Maosheng, no longer had the heart to work.

At three o'clock and seven o'clock, the building of the city administrative center, which had always been quiet, suddenly became agitated.

Vice Mayor Ding Maosheng committed suicide by jumping off a building.

Ding Maosheng jumped from the window of his office on the tenth floor, landed on the lawn of the green flower belt, and was killed on the spot.

Doctors and police soon appeared, as well as citizens and reporters who heard the news.

In less than an hour, the scene was cleaned up, and Ding Maosheng's body was also taken by the police for an autopsy.

Xu Haodong also ran downstairs to inspect, and took a few more glances at Ding Maosheng, and when the media reporters arrived, he hurried back to his office after being reminded by Propaganda Minister Wang Weiming.

Wang Weiming followed closely and asked for instructions on how to announce the matter to the outside world.

Xu Haodong frowned and thought about it.

Mayor Kong Zhenghao went to the province for a meeting, and Deputy Secretary Yan Fang went to Sanshui City to attend a joint meeting of the four cities, so Xu Haodong decided not to convene a meeting.

Shen Teng, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Chen Xiujie, executive vice mayor, Yang Ling, director of the Public Security Bureau, Luo Xinliang, director of the Organization Department, and several deputy mayors, Sun Yang, Shen Lianwen and Wu Xiangjie, all came to the secretary's office.

Why Ding Maosheng committed suicide by jumping off a building, only Xu Haodong, Shen Teng and Yang Ling knew.

Xu Haodong said: "Lao Wang, go and meet with the reporter." Vice Mayor Ding Maosheng committed suicide by jumping off a building, he was normal before his death, in good health, worry-free depression and other diseases, the cause of suicide is temporarily unknown, and is now under investigation, and the relevant situation will be announced in a timely manner. ”

Wang Weiming took the order and left.

Xu Haodong glanced at the leaders in the room again, "Everyone, Ding Maosheng committed suicide for a reason, and I can't report it before reporting it to the provincial party committee." Lao Shen Lao Chen Lao Yang stayed, and the rest of you please go back, please do not affect your work because of this. ”

In the office, in addition to Xu Haodong, only Shen Teng, Chen Xiujie and Yang Ling remained.

Xu Haodong glanced at Yang Ling, Yang Ling understood, and walked over to lock the door.

Xu Haodong picked up the red phone and called three provincial leaders to report, they were Li Zhihong, secretary of the provincial party committee, Shang Jingwu, governor of the province, and Dai Changming, secretary of the provincial commission for discipline inspection.

Chen Xiujie didn't know, and Shen Teng took advantage of Xu Haodong's phone call to inform him about the situation.

After making the call, Xu Haodong came to the sofa and sat down, "Xiujie, I didn't tell you in advance, I'm sorry." ”

Chen Xiujie hurriedly waved his hand, "It's good not to tell, it's good not to tell." ”

Xu Haodong sighed, "I miscalculated, I didn't count Ding Maosheng's suicide." ”

Shen Teng asked, "What do the leaders say?" ”

Xu Haodong said: "The leaders of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will come down immediately, either Dai Changmingji or Executive Deputy Secretary Xu Congliang, who is expected to arrive before eight o'clock in the evening." Lao Shen, you are in charge of reception. ”

Shen Teng nodded yes.

Xu Haodong instructed Chen Xiujie, "Xiujie, Ding Maosheng has to find someone to work in that stall." ”

Chen Xiujie said: "Okay, I'll discuss it with Mayor Zhenghao." Vice Mayor Tao Shulan gave birth to a child, and now Ding Maosheng is gone, I suggest that Ding Maosheng's stall work be handed over to Vice Mayor Sun Yang. Tao Shulan's work was originally shared with everyone, so it is better to put it together and hand it over to Deputy Mayor Wu Xiangjie to take care of. ”

Xu Haodong nodded, "Xiujie, I have worked hard for you, and on the matter of Ding Maosheng's suicide, a temporary video and telephone conference of cadres above the township level in the city was held to ensure that the daily work was not affected." Do not spread rumors, do not believe rumors, do not spread rumors, everything is subject to the information released by Minister Wang Weiming. In addition, you asked Gao Haifeng, director of the municipal government office, to come forward and be responsible for facing Ding Maosheng's family and doing the necessary comforting work. ”

Chen Xiujie got up and said, "I'll do it right away." ”

After Chen Xiujie left, Xu Haodong looked at Shen Teng and smiled bitterly, "Old Shen, you asked me to cook a pot of porridge, I didn't master the heat well, and I burst the pressure cooker." You say, how should I explain to the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection? ”

Shen Teng hurriedly said: "No, no, the main responsibility lies with me." The request of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection was for you and me to talk to Ding Maosheng, but I avoided it. My evasion is equivalent to evasion, so I can't shirk my responsibility. ”

Yang Ling said: "If you want to say that, my trouble is even greater. I used technical investigation methods against Ding Maosheng. Ding Maosheng is the deputy mayor, and he has not been identified as an official suspect, so I am about to catch up with the crime. ”

Xu Haodong said: "You're fine, you are carrying out my orders." ”

Yang Ling also smiled bitterly, "According to the regulations, I have the right to refuse the wrong order you given, but I don't." So, there are 10,000 reasons, and I can't escape the blame. ”

Shen Teng said: "You don't have to worry too much, as long as Ding Maosheng is proved to be a corrupt element, there will be no problem." ”

Xu Haodong shook his head, pointed at Shen Teng and said, "It's a shame that you are still the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and you actually said things like this." Even if Ding Maosheng is a corrupt element, but we have killed people, our responsibility is not small. ”

Shen Teng hurriedly said: "Haodong, you are right, I will take back what I just said." ”

Xu Haodong said: "Besides, so far, it has not been proved that Ding Maosheng is a corrupt element. Those few letters alone do not prove anything. So theoretically speaking, Ding Maosheng is still a comrade and a good person. ”

Shen Teng nodded, "So, can we do anything now?" ”

Xu Haodong asked Yang Ling, "Old Yang, first tell me what measures you have taken?" ”
