Liu Chongtian broke up with Chen Liren and his entourage at the entrance of Xinwei on the expressway, and when they broke up, he gave an explanation to Chen Liren and Deputy Director Zhao, asking them not to let go of any clues at the kidnapping scene, and organized investigators to study the two murders and bloody cases overnight. I never thought that when the car got on the highway and drove to the Pinghu section, I suddenly received a call from Chen Liren, who asked Liu Chongtian to come back, saying that there was a major incident to report immediately. Liu Chongtian thought that there was a breakthrough in the bloody case, and asked Chen Liren to say it on the phone. Chen Liren insisted on saying it to his face. Liu Chongtian asked Chen Liren to take the car to catch up with him and look for him at the restaurant in the Pinghu service area of the expressway, where he waited while eating. At this time, it was almost eleven o'clock at night, and Liu Chongtian hadn't taken care of dinner.

I asked for a fast food at the restaurant in the service area, and as soon as I finished eating, Chen Liren hurried over. Because there were secretaries and drivers in front of him, Chen Liren didn't say anything, pulled Liu Chongtian outside, walked to the lawn where there was no one around, and then took out a document and handed it over: "Secretary Liu, take a look at this,—— do you want to get it?" Your former precious secretary Qi Universe suddenly turned back in prison and reported that you had accepted 40,000 shares of Blue Sky stock through him seven years ago! ”

Liu Chongtian took advantage of the hazy light of the floor lamp to browse hastily, and asked in surprise: "Is this ...... Where did this come from? ”

Chen Liren said: "A friend in the province sent it, you don't care who it is, according to this friend, the provincial party committee has instructed to investigate!" ”

Liu Chongtian was taken aback again, but he asked as calmly as possible: "Old Chen, is this ...... Is this source reliable? ”

Chen Liren said: "It is absolutely reliable, and Comrade Shiyan is specifically responsible for the investigation." Comrade Shiyan has been in Jingzhou for the past two days! ”

Liu Chongtian couldn't help but feel sad, and a feeling of isolation and helplessness instantly flooded into his heart, but he was still silent on the surface: "Wouldn't it be good to let Comrade Shiyan and the provincial party committee investigate this matter clearly?" It's also a responsible attitude, I can understand! ”

Chen Liren shouted indignantly: "I don't understand! Old leader, tell me, what is this called? We risked our lives to handle this big and important case in Jingzhou according to their instructions, and fought viciously with corrupt elements, just like fighting in the front. Especially Comrade Shi Yan, how can he do this? Yes? When we arrived in Jingzhou, they hid it from us, and they didn't even give us a trace of wind, and it was too chilling to work with such a leader! ”

In fact, this is what Liu Chongtian wants to say but is inconvenient to say.

Liu Chongtian looked up to the sky and sighed: "Lao Chen, if you want to say that you are not chilling, it is a lie, if you are willful, I can take the initiative to resign now, leave Jingzhou, and wait for the provincial party committee to figure out my problem......"

Chen Liren didn't wait for Liu Chongtian to finish speaking, and grabbed it again: "Yes, there is no doubt about employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people, but your problem has not been clarified yet, and Comrade Shiyan and the provincial party committee are also investigating, so what are we doing in Jingzhou?" It's better to withdraw, I'll withdraw with you, and let Comrade Shiyan take charge of the Jingzhou case and arrest it directly! ”

Liu Chongtian waved his hand: "Lao Chen, listen to me finish speaking!" - The problem is, we can't be rash, if we really withdraw, some guys will laugh in secret, we are falling into their trap! Hum! Now, not only will I not withdraw, but I must hurry up and continue to handle the case, unless Comrade Bingyi and the provincial party committee explicitly order the removal of me, the head of the task force! ”

Chen Liren was stunned, and after a long time, he muttered: "I knew that you had this attitude!" Then, he asked suspiciously, "How did Qi Universe fight back at such a critical time?" Do you think there's a background behind this? ”

Liu Chongtian thought about it and smiled bitterly: "It's hard to say whether there is a background behind this, but one thing I know very well is that Qi Universe is taking revenge on me and framing me!" There is a situation you don't know: Qi Universe is still doing mischief under my banner in prison, and even running for others to ask for officials, I lost my temper after I knew it, and let the Provincial Bureau of Justice investigate and deal with it, and Qi Universe hates me to death! ”

Chen Liren was still puzzled: "How much energy can a prisoner have in custody?" Will the full event intervene? ”

Liu Chongtian glanced at Chen Liren: "Old Chen, can you not say this unfounded suspicion!" ”

He crossed his arms and looked at the starry night sky, and paused for a while before he said meaningfully, "Old Chen, I have some understanding now." On the night when Quansheng returned to China, it should be said that it was normal to see me so emotional at the gate of the first district of the municipal party committee! If you put yourself in your shoes, Lao Qi led the cadres and masses of Jingzhou to work hard to make Jingzhou like this, and he had just returned from attracting foreign investment, and such an unexpected change happened at home, can he accept it psychologically and emotionally! ”

Chen Liren sneered: "Old leader, according to what you say, the provincial party committee's decision is still wrong? We're well fed! ”

Liu Chongtian said slowly: "These are two different things. Communists are also human beings,—— and I am now talking about the normal feelings of human beings. When the Provincial Party Committee and Comrade Shiyan examined me, my heart was desolate, and you were also indignant, and you felt very wronged. Don't you feel aggrieved? Will the comrades around him not react? Therefore, when you think about problems, you have to change the angle often! ”

Chen Liren said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Secretary Liu, it seems that you want to show mercy to Quansheng's subordinates?" ”

Liu Chongtian was very serious: "What kind of mercy? If there is a problem, it is against the principle for my subordinates to show mercy, and of course I will not do it; If there is no problem with Quansheng, there will be no mercy! Waving his hand, "Okay, let's not talk about it, let's do what we should do, you go back to Jingzhou, I have to hurry!" ”

Chen Liren pulled Liu Chongtian back: "What should I do over there in the Qi universe?" He's sending this material everywhere! ”

Liu Chongtian smiled indifferently: "Let him send it, I, Liu Chongtian, still don't believe that it will be planted in the hands of this shameless person!" ”

Chen Liren nodded: "It's true, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, I don't think this kid will end well in the future!" ”

At this time, it was already 12:05 p.m., and Liu Chongtian and Chen Liren got into the car in the parking lot of the Pinghu service area.

Looking back later, Chen Liren found that Liu Chongtian's performance that night was a little abnormal: he obviously had a premonition of his serious crisis, and in his words, he had the meaning of making peace with his old opponent. I didn't seem to be very sure, and after starting the car, I drove a few steps, stopped again, and called him to the flower bed on the side of the road to make another explanation. It is said that the situation is getting more and more complicated, and no one can say what accidents will happen in the future. If one day he is no longer in the task force, the case in Jingzhou will continue to be handled, and as long as no one comes to rush forward, Chen Liren will stay in the task force, give an explanation to history and the people of Jingzhou, and let Chen Liren make a solemn guarantee.

When Chen Liren made a guarantee, his scalp was numb, and he was a little suspicious of Liu Chongtian at that time: Liu Chongtian was the mayor of Jingzhou City seven years ago, and Qi Universe was Liu Chongtian's secretary after all. So, will Liu Chongtian accidentally stumble for a moment, and under the deception and inducement of Qi Universe, he will ask for the 40,000 shares from Blue Sky Technology Company? It's not impossible!

If this is the case, he, the director of the anti-corruption bureau, will face another painful choice!

A ray of moonlight fell into the prison cell, reflecting a white light on the smooth concrete floor. At night, the prison was very quiet, and most of the 20 or so "Tongkai" fell asleep, only the robber and rapist Tang Laosan and the two little brothers who were imprisoned in the same case were immersed in the white moonlight, and quietly engaged in some kind of entertainment with the corner of the thick quilt firmly pressed by their own sons. The weather was very hot, and Tang Laosan and his two little brothers were shirtless and wearing shorts, still sweating all over their heads in the excitement of entertainment. The thick quilt moved, and from time to time there came one or two out-of-tune songs, which were the singing of entertained creatures. The living creature being entertained is Qi Universe, which has been designated as the object of "strict management", and this kind of entertainment has been going on for three consecutive nights. After the lights went out at night, there were always a few comrades who carried Qi Universe to bed, put a thick quilt on his head, and asked him to hold a solo party.

On the first night, Qi Universe struggled desperately, he was beaten violently in the quilt, and someone stabbed him with a shoe needle, almost killing him under the thick quilt. During the roll call in the morning, Qi Universe complained to Bi Chengye, the squadron leader in charge of their prison number, Bi Chengye didn't take it seriously at all, and he didn't investigate it, but asked Qi Universe to remember the bad things he had done, and stop sending materials and framing good people indiscriminately.

Only then did Qi Universe realize that his report on Liu Chongtian was a big mistake, Quan Sheng may not be able to help him, and may not be able to help,—— what does a prisoner in custody have to Quan Sheng? And Liu Chongtian is in a high position and is the executive deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, which is not so easy to bring down, as long as Liu Chongtian makes some hints, he will die in prison without explanation.

However, he can't die, the more he can't die like this, Liu Chongtian deserves his own retribution!

From the second night, Qi Cosmology behaved, and the same reformers put the quilt on his head, and the solo party began immediately.

Fortunately, when he was in the past, he didn't go to the dance hall, he sang karaoke, and he knew a lot of songs, but it was not difficult. The main thing is that the quilt is covered on the head and body, and the heat is unbearable, so he asks to get out of the thick quilt and sing well to make the song more pleasant. The same reformers disagreed, saying that they could not violate the supervision regulations. He had to sweat profusely and sing one song after another in the quilt, from Teresa Teng to Peng **, from "Three Sets of Cars" to "Dongfang Hong", the same reformers who love entertainment put their ears together in the gaps of the thick quilt to appreciate. When the book is used, there is less hatred, and this night is going to hold a solo party for the same reformers, Qi Universe gave birth to a new sigh: The song is only lacking when it is sung, and it is only the third day, why is it all the songs sung in a stomach? Even finished singing the children's songs when I was a child? What's going on? Was he not corrupt enough in the past, or was he tossed and confused by his fellow reformers, and he rotted a lot of songs in his stomach?

Tang Laosan, the robber rapist who held a solo party for him this night, and the two little brothers in the same case were not bad, they didn't insist on listening to new songs, but kept singing. Tang Laosan put the quilt on his head and said, their brothers are all small heads in trouble, and big heads are guilty, all because of tossing "love", their eldest brother has played his head off for "love" - sentenced to death, so tonight I will ask him to sing "love". Qi Universe sang "Love", starting from "The Fifteenth Moon", and sang several songs in a row. It's hot, it's too hot, and the beautiful love has been sadly soaked in endless sweat. The smell in the quilt was not good, the smell of sweat, the smell of feet, and the smell of urine when urinating was almost out of breath.

In this way, I have to keep singing, and if I don't sing, the awl on my shoes will be pierced in.

Qi Universe sang, his voice hoarse, out of breath: "...... The night on this green island is so peaceful, girl......"

I couldn't sing anymore, I was soaked all over my body, and my mind was blank, as if my consciousness was about to disappear. In the confusion, a shameless voice got into the quilt: "Sing, what's wrong with the girl?" it? The universe opened its mouth and sang, "...... Girl, you...... Are you still so silent? ”

The shameless voice sounded again: "It's not good, it's not good, Qi Universe, sing "Eighteen Touches"!" ”

Qi Universe risked being pricked and stuck his head out of the bed: "I ...... this song I can't really sing......"

The awl immediately pierced, and Qi Yu let out an "ouch" in pain and retracted his wet head.

Tang Laosan scolded and scolded: "Fuck your mother, you can't sing the songs that Lao Tzu likes to listen to, then sing Teresa Teng!" ”

Qi Universe sang Teresa Teng indifferently again, like a wolf in a trap neighing: "In...... Where is it? Where to meet...... Seen you? Your smile is ...... So familiar? I can't remember ...... for a while."

At this time, the night was already very deep, and there was a snoring sound in the prison number, and the mournful singing of Qi Universe from the cracks in the quilt was covered by the snoring of the fellow reformers, and no one knew that a person who had been the mayor's secretary, a person who had privileges in prison, and a person who was so self-righteous was forced to sing "love" by the rapist who was most despised by the fellow prisoners.

Qi Universe also looked down on these three obscene rapists, and after being transferred to the third prison, he heard from the captain Wu Huan that Tang Laosan was sentenced to life imprisonment for participating in the robbery five years ago, and now the sentence is reduced to 20 years, and the two co-defendants are 12 years and 15 years. Wu Huan never looked at them when he was the captain, they also had the lowest status in the number, and when Qi Universe had privileges, they didn't even have the qualifications to knock him on the back and beat him. Now, the three rapists are not known to have participated in his persecution at the behest of whom. Qi Universe believes that the person who instructs must be a prison cadre, maybe it is their squadron leader Bi Chengye.

Bi Chengye didn't know where he was transferred, after the violation of rules and discipline, the prison officers and police underwent a major adjustment, many acquaintances, including Wu Huan, were transferred out of the supervision post, and some completely unfamiliar correctional personnel were enriched to the front line of supervision, Bi Chengye was one of them. Qi Universe once tried to get close to Bi Chengye, and wanted to ask Bi Chengye to bring a message to Wu Huan, so that he could meet with Wu Huan and report on the recent transformation. Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Bi Chengye. Bi Chengye asked Qi Universe not to forget his identity, and clearly told him that from now on, he didn't want to see Wu Huan again, and he would report to him if he wanted to report!

Reporting to Bi Chengye didn't work at all, this person first pretended to be deaf and dumb, and then disguised him, saying that he was "too naughty". Night after night, he was tortured by the same reformers in the number, and he had to work during the day, even if he was an iron man, he couldn't bear it, and a few times, Qi Universe fell asleep while working, and the baton in Bi Chengye's hand stabbed him up in time, making him wake up from his dream like a corpse. However, Qi Universe does not hate Bi Chengye, only Liu Chongtian. Things are very clear, the culprit who brought him to this point is Liu Chongtian! If it weren't for Liu Chongtian's pretended bullshit instructions, Wu Huan would not have been removed from his post and transferred, he would not have been strictly controlled, and there would have been no subsequent report,—— why should he report it? Seven years ago, he defended Liu Chongtian so much, and the people under Quansheng clearly asked Liu Chongtian's question, and he forced him to go back! If his attitude was vague at that time, Liu Chongtian might also be a fellow changer. He was so stupid, he thought that Liu Chongtian would help him and save him, but after waiting for seven years, he didn't wake up from the big dream!

I'm so sleepy, I'm so tired, as if my body is not my own, my mouth is still singing, and I don't even know what I'm singing.

A distant voice came: "...... Qi Universe, why do you sing about the sunshine? Fuck, is there sunshine here? ”

Qi Universe was still singing numbly: "...... Our lives are full of sunshine and ...... Sunny ......"

The needle aper pierced through the quilt, and in a trance, it was pierced on his back, and Qi Universe didn't feel much pain anymore. The voice became more and more distant: "...... Love, fuck, or sing us love ......"

Qi Universe sang mechanically again, without a beginning or an end, and incoherently: "...... Wine and coffee, I ...... I just need a drink...... Although...... Although the flowers have bloomed, you don't want to pick the wildflowers on the roadside, remember...... Remember my love, remember ...... Remember my love, remember ...... Remember to have my day...... Waiting for ...... every day"

Singing, singing, Qi Universe completely lost consciousness, his eyes went dark, he lost consciousness, and passed out. After waking up, Qi Universe felt that his buttocks hurt, and the pain was terrible, and then he found that his buttocks were full of dirty things.

Qi Universe realized something at this time, struggled to get out of the stinky thick quilt, and scolded Tang Laosan and others: "Rape! You...... You ...... These gang of rapists! Later, he covered his bloody buttocks and scolded Liu Chongtian by name, "Liu ...... Liu Chongtian, I ...... I'll fuck you! You...... You don't have to die well......"

At this time, before dawn, many Tongkai were woken up, so they rushed up and kicked and kicked Qi Universe.

Qi Universe cried out in pain regardless of it: "Save ...... Help......"

Bi Chengye, the squadron leader on duty, heard it and rushed over without hurrying.

When Bi Chengye arrived, the tortured Qi Universe passed out again.

Ten days ago, Bai Keshu had been formally arrested from "shuanggui" and was the first person to be arrested in the Jingzhou corruption case.

During this period of time, the internal investigation and external investigation proved that the facts of Bai Keshu's crime were conclusive, and Baihe Group alone lost 22.36 million yuan of public funds of the Blue Sky Group. The transfer documents provided by Tian Jian have been verified one by one, and on the secret video tape of our relevant departments in Baijing, Bai Keshu's gambling style is also vividly visible. Bai Keshu can't deny his economic problems, so he no longer talks about power struggles. However, it is precisely because he knows that the death penalty cannot be escaped, but he has no illusions, and he has become more and more tough, basically holding a non-cooperative attitude, especially for gang-related issues, he is particularly taboo, and he does not admit that there are underworld forces in Jingzhou, let alone that he has any dealings with underworld forces.

This night, in the face of Liu Chongtian, who suddenly came, Bai Keshu looked calm and talked eloquently: "...... Mayor Liu,——Oh, I'm sorry, I'm used to shouting in the past, so now I still call you Mayor!" Mayor Liu, don't care so much about me, I'm going to die anyway, and I can't avoid dying anyway. I thought about this result a long time ago, and I thought about it: in essence, our bodies are all borrowed, and I am dead now, but I just returned my shells to God earlier,—— don't you say? ”

Liu Chongtian said: "There is a certain truth in this, people will inevitably die if they live for a hundred years, and the laws of nature are irresistible!" However, in addition to the body, there is also a soul ,—— Bai Keshu, aren't you afraid that your soul will go to hell? ”

Bai Keshu smiled: "I am a materialist, I never believe in any soul,——Mayor Liu, do you believe in souls?" ”

Liu Chongtian said slowly: "I don't know if you are a materialist, and I don't want to know anymore." I will only say that myself, I, Liu Chongtian, have chosen the communist faith, that is, I have chosen materialism and dialectics. When I say soul, I mean faith, the faith of a member of a ruling party, and the conscience of a leading cadre of a socialist country. Bai Keshu, do you have this minimum of faith and conscience? Are you doing something worthy of the ruling party you once joined? Are you worthy of feeding your people with blood and sweat? Is it worthy of a large number of leading comrades, including Comrade Quan Sheng? Facts have proved that Qi Xiaoyan was pulled into the water step by step by you, and Gao Yaju, Gao Yaju fell to the point of being shuanggui today, and it was also caused by you! Don't you admit it? ”

The smile on Bai Keshu's face disappeared: "This ...... I admit it, I ...... I'm sorry Secretary Qi......"

Liu Chongtian keenly discovered the possibility of dialogue: "Bai Keshu, are you sorry Secretary Qi, others don't know, I know, if it weren't for Comrade Quansheng, would you be able to climb to the high position of a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Executive Deputy Mayor step by step?" I'll tell you frankly: If I hadn't been transferred seven years ago, if I was still the mayor of Gyeongju City, you wouldn't have been able to go up! Therefore, I will not tell you the truth, as soon as the corruption case in Jingzhou was exposed, it immediately occurred to me that Comrade Quansheng was responsible for this! The power in the hands of Comrade Quan Sheng is not supervised and abused, and it is inevitable that something will go wrong, but it is strange if there is no problem! ”

Bai Keshu shook his head: "Mayor Liu, why are you still angry with Secretary Qi?" In my opinion, your prejudices and prejudices against Secretary Qi are too deep. My business is my business, what does it have to do with Secretary Qi? Don't keep pulling it on Secretary Qi. Secretary Qi makes sense to use me, I dare to dare to do things! Without my efforts, the seaside resort would not have been built so quickly, and it would have been on the current scale, and the eastward relocation of the administrative center of Gyeongju would have been delayed for at least two years......"

Liu Chongtian raised his hand: "Oh, interrupt: the eastward movement of the administrative center of Jingzhou has made me very nervous, can you tell me today, where did you get so much money to build the buildings of the municipal party committee, the city ** and so many units?" ”

Bai Keshu was alert: "What, Mayor Liu, do you still want to check my problems in this regard?" ”

Liu Chongtian smiled: "No, no, it's completely a curiosity,—— can you satisfy my curiosity?" ”

Bai Keshu also dared to act: "Yes, it's all illegal operations." At that time, I was the secretary of the Xinwei District Party Committee, and I was also the deputy commander-in-chief of the Xinwei Port Construction Headquarters, so I first embezzled the state's funds for the construction of Hong Kong, and later, I successively embezzled the staff housing reform fund and the 1.3 billion pension insurance fund. ”

Liu Chongtian gasped: "Bai Keshu, you are really a daybreaker!" Aren't you afraid that the common people can't live in the house and scold your ancestors for eight generations? Aren't you afraid that retired workers won't be able to receive life-saving money to find you desperate and pick your skin? Comrade Quansheng agreed with you to do this? ”

Bai Keshu immediately reminded: "Hey, Mayor Liu, don't pull it on Secretary Qi's head again!" I'm telling you this truth completely to satisfy your curiosity, and it has nothing to do with Secretary Qi! Secretary Qi, you know, as long as the result, no matter the process. sighed, but still told the truth, "However, after all, it is nearly three billion, this disaster is a bit big, after Secretary Qi found out, he slapped the table and scolded me, blaming me for not caring whether the people live or die, and said that if he has a gun in his hand, he must shoot me!" ”

Liu Chongtian snorted: "I think the responsibility is still on Comrade Quansheng!" I know this matter best, Comrade Quan Sheng first forced me to operate in violation of the law, but I didn't do it, and the so-called team unity problem arose! You were also forced to go to Liangshan by Comrade Quansheng! ”

Bai Keshu waved his hand: "Mayor Liu, why are you holding Secretary Qi and not letting go?" Tell you: Secretary Qi did not shirk his responsibility! The issue of misappropriation of funds for the construction of Hong Kong was later investigated by the state ministries and commissions, and Secretary Qi personally flew to Beijing three times to review, apologize, and do everything possible to wipe my ass and take the initiative to take responsibility. The housing reform fund and the pension insurance fund were also paid off by Secretary Qi using various financial means within two years, so there were no problems. Although Secretary Qi scolded fiercely behind his back, he never criticized me in public, and I was willing to work with such a leader, even if I was tired! Bai Keshu ridiculed Liu Chongtian on this topic, "And what about you, Mayor Liu?" It's far worse than Secretary Qi! Qi Universe is your secretary, have you protected others after the accident! ”

Liu Chongtian said: "Why should I protect him? Can it be protected against such corrupt elements? Don't be principled anymore! ”

Bai Keshu smiled coldly: "Corrupt elements? Seriously speaking, how many of those who have power and authority are not corrupt elements? You, Liu Chongtian, are you not a corrupt element? I think it's also one, at least one when I was the mayor of Pinghu and Jingzhou! The salary is basically not used, the tobacco and alcohol are basically sent, and they are ushered in and sent, and the country is generous, Wuliangye and Moutai have not drunk less, right? When have you ever dug into your own pocket? If I really want to check you, will you be fine? I won't say anything else, just one thing: for the approval of the Jingzhou Export Processing Zone project, you took me and the comrades of the relevant departments to Beijing to carry out relay gifts, how much did you give away? Don't you count in your heart? Is it a bribe? ”

Liu Chongtian was very angry in his heart, but he tried to keep calm on his face: "Bai Keshu, do you definitely want to hear my answer?" ”

Bai Keshu looked indifferent: "Mayor Liu, the prince and the loser are the thieves, I am in your hands now, so I can't force you." If you are willing to answer my question, I will listen and be educated, and if you don't want to answer, there is nothing I can do. ”

Liu Chongtian immediately said: "I answer you!" I understand it: You Bai Keshu are very unconvinced, and I don't dare to agree with this conclusion that corruption has become a way of life for our cadres. Let's not talk about Comrade Zhou Shanben, he is also the deputy mayor and has been living in the workers' dormitory, does his lifestyle have the slightest shadow of corruption? Is it the same thing as you, Bai Keshu? Let's talk about me, yes, when I was the mayor for reception, I drank some Wuliangye and Moutai, but do I want to drink them? How can normal official activities be linked to corruption? Your cigarettes and alcohol are basically delivered, I'm not like this, I want to smoke five cigarettes a month, all bought, don't believe it, you can go to the city ** office to check it, see if I, the mayor, paid that year! ”

Bai Keshu said with a smile: "No need to check, the special cigarettes approved by the city from the Jingzhou Tobacco Factory are still corrupt!" ”

Liu Chongtian hesitated for a moment and admitted: "It is indeed a phenomenon of corruption, but it is also a transitional method in the transitional period, and the state has not yet received high salaries and pensions, so various localities and departments will engage in some similar economic means to maintain the minimum living conditions and basic decency of our cadres." At the same time, I also admit that there are also some people in our cadre ranks, such as you Bai Keshu, who have turned corruption into a way of life. But this is by no means all, the mainstream of our cadre contingent is still good, you don't admit it? ”

Bai Keshu was a little impatient: "Forget it, forget it, Mayor Liu, don't make a big report to me!" Speaking from the heart, I sympathize with you, really! Think about it, eight years ago, we went to the house of a director of a national ministry to give gifts, did the director take you seriously? Play your own mahjong, you don't have to look at you! You forgot, what did you tell me when you got back to the guest house? ”

Liu Chongtian's eyes appeared in front of the shameful scene of the year: "I said, China's affairs are bad in the hands of these bastard bastards!" ”

Bai Keshu thought he had the initiative: "So, Mayor Liu, I'm not going to report you, you are engaging in a little corruption for work, in essence, it is the same thing as Secretary Qi." I only advise you not to hold on to Secretary Qi and Secretary Qi's family. Qi Xiaoyan didn't know many things about me, Qi Xiaoyan was deceived by me; Aunt Gao is even more wronged, it is a violation of discipline for her to go abroad twice under my arrangement, why don't you forgive? Is it about principles, or is it about revenge? Aren't you afraid that Secretary Qi will fight back against you in anger? ”

Liu Chongtian saw that Bai Keshu took the initiative to talk about substantive issues, and he was also serious: "Gao Yaju is not just a matter of going abroad in violation of discipline twice, right? What's the deal with that diamond ring on her hand? You sent it, right? Gao Yaju herself admitted it! It was a souvenir you bought for her in Amsterdam when she went abroad for the second time. And where did the more than 2 million in her account come from? Yes? ”

Bai Keshu said: "The diamond ring was indeed given by me, and since Aunt Gao has admitted it, I don't have to hide it anymore." But I gave this diamond ring completely as a personal friendship between friends, how can it be related to bribery? I can't have friends just because I'm the executive vice mayor, right? Besides, my position is much higher than that of Aunt Gao, how can there be such a thing as bribery? ”

Liu Chongtian said solemnly: "Your status is higher than that of Gao Yaju, but another fact is: Gao Yaju's husband, Comrade Quansheng, is the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and your direct leader, so the suspicion of bribery and bribery exists, so you can't help but find out!" ”

Bai Keshu spread his hands: "Okay, okay, Liu Chongtian, then you can go and investigate, even if it is bribery, this diamond ring is only worth more than 4,000 yuan, I'm afraid it's not enough to file a case, right?" As for the more than 2 million in Aunt Gao's hands, I can tell you responsibly: the source is completely legal, and it is earned by Aunt Gao by trading stocks after she retires, which is a kind of risk profit! ”

Liu Chongtian thought for a while and seized the opportunity to ask: "Then, please make these two questions clear: Is the value of the diamond ring you gave Gao Yaju more than 4,000 yuan or more than 6,000 yuan?" What's going on with Gao Yaju's stock speculation in the stock market? ”

Bai Keshu was silent for a moment: "I can not answer these two questions that have nothing to do with me, but, for the sake of Aunt Gao's innocence, I will answer you: First, when I bought a diamond ring in Amsterdam, the euro was at a historical low, and the equivalent of RMB after tax refund was more than 4,800 yuan, and now the euro has appreciated against the US dollar, and there may be more than 5,000 yuan, but the value of the case should still be the price at that time." Second, Aunt Gao's stock speculation was instigated by me, and the account opening capital of 250,000 yuan was transferred from the account by Mr. Jin of the Pyramid Hotel, and Aunt Gao resolutely refused to accept it, took out all the deposits that were due and not due from home, and returned the 250,000 yuan to Mr. Jin. ”

Liu Chongtian asked: "When will the 250,000 yuan be repaid?" Was it before or after the crime? ”

Bai Keshu said: "What before and after the case?" It was a few days after Aunt Gao opened an account, two years ago. ”

Liu Chongtian asked again, seemingly carelessly: "Who are you Jin?" Why do you listen to you so much? ”

Bai Keshu said: "An entrepreneur friend,—— didn't you advocate making friends with entrepreneurs when you were mayor?" ”

Liu Chongtian said: "I advocate making friends with entrepreneurs in order to develop the local economy and help enterprises solve difficulties, not to let you transfer money from other people's accounts to speculate in stocks for the wife of the secretary of the municipal party committee!" After a pause, his tone became more and more easy-going, "There must be a lot of friends like Mr. Jin, right?" Yes? Never thought that when you were unlucky, people would come to settle accounts with you? ”

Bai Keshu smiled: "Look, Mayor Liu, don't you understand China's national conditions, right?" Who's going to settle the ledger with me? You ask those entrepreneur friends, who am I, Bai Keshu? Have you taken advantage of them? When did they lose money? ”

Liu Chongtian immediately pointed out: "I think it should be said that you took advantage of them, but you also let them take advantage of the country and the people, so they did not suffer losses, and some people even became rich under the protection of your power......

Bai Keshu said: "There is nothing wrong with this, the wealth is in their hands, their enterprises are getting bigger and bigger, they will increase employment opportunities, and also increase the national and local fiscal taxes. For example, Mr. Jin, who started with a loan of 8,000 yuan ten years ago, is now worth 1.5 billion, which is a great contribution to our Jingzhou. ”

Liu Chongtian smiled: "I don't know what you said about Mr. Jin, but since he has a net worth of 1.5 billion, he is obviously a successful person in the business war, and Mr. Jin's successful experience, I think some people may be interested in studying it." What I want to correct now is your erroneous view: we are in the primary stage of socialism, not capitalism. To judge the nature of a country, we should not look at the number of gold presidents in society, but also look at the components of its main economy. What about the facts? At this stage, the public-owned economy is still dominant, and even listed companies are basically controlled by the state. ”

Bai Keshu sneered: "Liu Chongtian, you really have Yaxing, and you are still discussing this kind of ethereal problem with me at this time!" ”

Liu Chongtian sighed, not without grief and indignation: "It's not an ethereal issue, it's a major theoretical issue, a major issue of principle!" The ideological roots of your Bai Keshu's crime may be here! You think that you are in the initial stage of capitalism, full of materialism, drunk on money, forgetting all your identity and ideals, and betraying the party and the country in thought and action! ”

Bai Keshu was silent and didn't make a sound for a long time.

Liu Chongtian suddenly changed the topic: "Bai Keshu, can you provide some information about Qi Xiaoyan?" ”

Bai Keshu was stunned: "What is the situation?" ”

Liu Chongtian thought for a while: "Everything you know! So far, I won't hide it from you: two people involved in the case have died tragically at the hands of underworld gangsters, and we are very worried about Qi Xiaoyan's safety. As Qi Xiaoyan's lover, aren't you afraid that your friend will kill her and kill her? You probably know better than I do about your friends, do you? ”

Bai Keshu was very vigilant: "What? Do you have to sit down on my problem of being involved in crime? Liu Chongtian, this doesn't seem necessary, right? Whether I'm involved in black or not, one of them is dead inside and out, you can watch it! ”

Liu Chongtian reiterated again: "It's not just you, I'm worried that Qi Xiaoyan will become the next target!" ”

Bai Keshu lowered his face and said coldly: "Liu Chongtian, I'm more worried that Qi Xiaoyan will die at your hands!" ”

…… At 5 a.m., the trial ended in a state of exhaustion on both sides, and the two comrades from the provincial anti-corruption bureau who were jury were disappointed that no substantial progress had been made. Liu Chongtian didn't see it that way, and after repeatedly reviewing the interrogation records, he gave three instructions when eating breakfast: 1. Immediately verify Gao Yaju's profits from stock speculation; Second, keep an eye on Jin Qiming, the head of the pyramid group, and find out the historical and current relationship between this person and Bai Keshu and the relevant Jingzhou cadres; 3. With Jin Qiming as the central figure, conduct a comprehensive and in-depth investigation of Bai Keshu's network in the business community in Jingzhou. Forty slept in the car, and at half past eight in the morning, Liu Chongtian returned to the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.

As soon as he walked into the office rubbing his red and swollen eyes, Mayor Zhao Fenfang came in: "Secretary Liu, are you looking for me?" ”

Liu Chongtian looked at Zhao Fenfang's smiling face, and was a little confused for a while: "Looking for you?" I? ”

Zhao Fenfang said: "Yes, ** the duty room said, you called last night to come over......"

Liu Chongtian then remembered: "Yes, yes! Mayor Zhao, sit, please take a seat! ”

Zhao Fenfang sat down, and as soon as she sat down, she complained meaningfully: "...... Secretary Liu, look at this trouble, Secretary Qi said to leave, stay in the provincial capital to check the body and don't come back, and I don't know when I can come back! What about you, you're busy working day and night, and this municipal party committee and city ** have left me a lesbian with all the big mess......"

Liu Chongtian remembered all the things about his brother-in-law Zou Xuan, no longer saved face for Zhao Fenfang, and interrupted Zhao Fenfang's words very unceremoniously: "Why do you say that?" As far as I know, so far, the provincial party committee has neither removed Comrade Quansheng from his post, nor decided to let you preside over the work, and besides, the deputy secretaries and deputy mayors are also performing their duties! ”

Zhao Fenfang's face turned red all of a sudden, and she was a little embarrassed: "Secretary Liu, this ...... I'll have to explain that......"

Liu Chongtian also seemed to feel that he had gone too far, and his tone softened a little: "Mayor Zhao, don't explain, in a special period, it's good that you want to do more, I understand the mood." However, I advise you not to take care of things that you should not be in charge of, such as the issue of cadre personnel arrangements......"

Zhao Fenfang stood up: "Secretary Liu, I knew that you were going to talk about this issue, so I will make a formal report: This time the Standing Committee has already been set to meet, and the main topic is not the cadre personnel arrangement, but the work in the second half of the year. Because some veteran comrades reached the age of the second half of the year and wanted to retire, the arrangements for more than a dozen cadres were put forward temporarily, and the specific list was not only available today, but Secretary Qi had already discussed it at the last Standing Committee when he was there. There are a few of them that are somewhat controversial, such as Zou Xuan, deputy director of the office of the Municipal Construction Committee, and the nine-year-old Zhengke, who should also move. Secretary Qi didn't express his position, and I don't know if it was caused by the contradictions in the history of you and him, so this time I specifically mentioned it to the Standing Committee and asked the comrades to discuss it......"

Liu Chongtian said solemnly: "Mayor Zhao, this is the issue I want to talk to you about. I don't know much about other comrades, it's hard to say anything, but I know this Zou Xuan better, he is just an alcoholic, because he has missed a lot of things by drinking, and the impact is very bad! Is it appropriate for you to name such a comrade as deputy director of the Construction Committee? Do you want to take care of my face? It's too unprincipled, isn't it? ”

Zhao Fenfang was not afraid, and said frankly and earnestly: "Secretary Liu, I have to express some disagreement." For this comrade, we can't just look at the superficial phenomenon, I think, in essence, Zou Xuan is a very capable good comrade, and the mass base is relatively good, we can't just force him down because he is your relative, this is not fair! Secretary Liu, I really don't want to please you for anything, I had a confrontation with Secretary Qi the year before last on the issue of Comrade Zou Xuan's arrangement......"

Liu Chongtian knew in his heart that the next step would be to directly express his loyalty, and waved his hand: "Mayor Zhao, don't say it again, I still say the same thing: the cadre personnel issue will not be discussed before Comrade Quansheng returns, and it will be temporarily frozen; Of course, Zou Xuan, the deputy director, can't be counted, you can tell Zou Xuan that I don't agree to mention him, even if Comrade Quansheng agrees in the future, I won't agree! ”

Zhao Fenfang was stunned: "Liu ...... Secretary Liu, you ...... You're too ...... Too arbitrary, right? ”

Liu Chongtian looked at Zhao Fenfang coldly: "Arbitrary? Mayor Zhao, as far as I know: the provincial party committee's public announcement system document on the appointment of cadres has been issued for a few months, right? Aren't you going to do it seriously? If you insist on using this Zou Xuan, I suggest that it be announced on the list of the Municipal Construction Committee first, listen to the feedback of the masses of the Construction Committee, and see if the masses agree? ”

Zhao Fenfang felt that something was wrong, and turned around to leave: "Okay, okay, Secretary Liu, then let's put up the list first, listen to the feedback of the masses, and then let's talk, the masses really have opinions, so put it aside for the time being!" In fact, as you know, the cadre issue is all up to Secretary Qi, and publicity is also a formality. Oh, I'll go first, and there will be a meeting soon, ** The system is ready to unify the study of the 'three represents'......"

Liu Chongtian stopped Zhao Fenfang: "Comrade Fenfang, please stay!" ”

Zhao Fenfang had no choice but to stand still, a little uneasy: "Secretary Liu, are you still ...... Anything else? ”

Liu Chongtian thought for a while: "Comrade Fragrant, there are some things that I wasn't going to say, but now it seems that I can't say it, so I have to say it." It may not be heard, it may be harsh, it may make you hold a grudge, but in order to be responsible for you and the cause of our party and people, I have no choice! The tone suddenly became stern, "Comrade Zhao Fenfang, what the provincial party committee sent me to Jingzhou this time for, you know very well!" You also know very well how Comrade Quan Sheng fell to such a passive state at present! I can tell you: The investigation so far has proved that Comrade Quan Sheng has been the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee for nine years, and he has indeed not approved any notes for his wife Gao Yaju and his daughter Qi Xiaoyan! A large number of slips found by the task force were all approved by you, Bai Keshu and other leaders! Bai Keshu has approved the most, and he is the most daring, and you have approved a lot, even the transfer of Qi Xiaoyan's company's smuggled car a few years ago, you have not wronged you! ”

Zhao Fenfang sneered: "That...... So what can I do? Qi Xiaoyan is Secretary Qi's daughter......"

Liu Chongtian was furious: "Should the daughter of a municipal party secretary have this kind of privilege?" Did you give Qi Xiaoyan's privilege, or did Comrade Quansheng give it? When and where did Comrade Quan Sheng explain to you that you, the subordinate cadres, would give his wives and children great privileges? Is there such a thing? If there is such a thing, please tell me! ”

Zhao Fenfang cried with a sad face: "Secretary Liu, you ...... What do you want me to say? You are also in officialdom, can you not know the rules of the game? Honest government, strict self-discipline, everyone is saying the official words on the scene, but what is the actual situation? Do you really want to do that? ”

Liu Chongtian became more and more annoyed: "Why don't you do this? Do you think what I just said is also the official language of the scene? You think you promoted my brother-in-law, I criticize you on the surface, but I will understand your affection in my heart, don't you? With a wave of his hand, "Wrong!" Comrade Zhao Fenfang, I advise you not to play such cleverness and tricks again, at least I have to accept the lesson of Comrade Quansheng! Comrade Quansheng has planted a heel on the issue of relatives and children, and I think it is a stumbling block for you, whether it is intentional or unintentional! You are so thoughtful, you are so careful, what the leader thinks, you think, what the leader doesn't think, you also think! ”

The table was slammed, "But you just didn't expect party discipline and state law, you just didn't expect what the people would think of us, and you didn't expect that your own behavior itself is also corruption, more serious corruption, and its badness and negative consequences are even more than direct corruption and bribery in a sense!" ”

Zhao Fenfang had never seen Liu Chongtian get so angry, and timidly defended: "Secretary Liu, too...... Maybe I'...... We did it wrong, but I ...... We are really out of good intentions, and we don't mean to harm you or Secretary Qi, really! Besides, how many decent leaders are there like you? How can Secretary Qi compare with you, let's ...... Isn't that what our officialdom is all about......"

Liu Chongtian sighed deeply: "Comrade Fragrant, what do you want me to say about you?" One mouthful of officialdom, and that's it? What's going on? We are all public servants of the people, serving the people, not any higher-level leaders. You just said that you were going to a meeting to arrange the 'three represents' of the secretary of the school,—— but I have a suggestion: We should not just pay lip service to the school, and we should not just think about going on television and engaging in any flashy showmanship, but we should really take the 'three represents' to heart and the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people in our hearts, and strive to implement them in every specific work. We can't talk about the 'three represents' in our mouths, and we only have our own selfish interests in our hearts! In addition, the spirit of governing the party and the country with ethics should also be well understood and introspected: Does each of our comrades have the minimum political morality of a party member and cadre of the ruling party? What if you don't have one? Yes? ”

Zhao Fenfang seemed to be touched, and her face was sincere and flattering: "Secretary Liu, you said it too profoundly, you woke me up!" After I go back, I will definitely implement the spirit of your instructions, always keep in mind the glorious thinking of the three represents, first hold a meeting on democratic life among the members of the leading party group, and conduct a serious ideological examination from the height of the three represents, from the angle of governing the party and the country with ethics......

Liu Chongtian waved his hand impatiently: "Mayor Zhao, don't recite the song, you go, I still have a lot of things to deal with!" ”

After Zhao Fenfang left, Liu Chongtian couldn't support it anymore, and fell on the sofa, groggy and wanted to sleep. However, he struggled and didn't dare to sleep,—— and if he fell asleep, the day's affairs were all delayed.

Liu Chongtian got up with a strong spirit, made a cup of strong tea and drank it. Drinking tea, he called Zhou Shanben and asked about the stock speculation of Blue Sky Group,—— Gao Yaju was able to earn two million by speculating in stocks, and her luck was a little surprising. Thinking of Zhao Fenfang and Bai Keshu, who are so attentive and thoughtful to the relatives around the leading comrades, he can't help but doubt the fame of this: How did Gao Yaju earn the two million? Did Blue Sky Group earn it for her, or did she earn it herself? Is there any connection between her stock speculation and Blue Sky Group's stock trading? Is it really a risky profit under the sun? He asked Zhou Shanben to come immediately and report to him in person.

Zhou Shanben was very embarrassed and said: "Chongtian, I just took Tian Jian over, and Tian Jian and the comrades of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Bureau are studying the merger and reorganization plan of Blue Sky Technology proposed by the Pyramid Group. ”

Pyramid Group? Mr. Kim? What other M&A and restructuring plans? Liu Chongtian asked vigilantly: "Jin Qiming also wants to reorganize the blue sky?" ”

Zhou Shanben said: "Yes, Mr. Jin put forward a plan, which was sent a few days ago, and the comrades of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Bureau thought it was feasible. ”

Liu Chongtian instinctively felt that there was an article in it, and said meaningfully: "Oh, this is a great thing, the big boss with a net worth of 1.5 billion has surfaced!" Rare book, so let's go over and listen to it right away, and see the billionaire's restructuring plan! ”

Zhou Shanben was a little surprised: "Chongtian, is this necessary?" It's just a plan now, and you have so much to do......"

Liu Chongtian smiled: "With the economy as the center, the corruption problem of Blue Sky Group must be investigated, the case must be handled well, and the asset restructuring of Blue Sky Technology must also be done well!" Comrade Quansheng is right, we must not create an impression on the vast number of stockholders, as if Jingzhou's stocks cannot be bought, and Jingzhou's listed companies will only deceive people. Rare book, let's not talk about it for now, I'll talk to you in person after I pass! ”

Putting down the phone, Liu Chongtian asked the secretary to bring the relevant materials of Mr. Jin and the Pyramid Hotel, and hurried out with the secretary.

When the special car drove to the Blue Sky Group, Liu Chongtian once again seized the time to look at Jin Qiming's relevant materials in the car. This Jin Qiming is really not simple, ten years ago he was a chief clerk of the city's ** information department, and ten years later he had a net worth of 1.5 billion, involved in more than a dozen industries such as hotels, catering services, electronic manufacturing, securities investment, and international trade. How did his miracle of getting rich happen? And how was the initial capital accumulation done? Does the smuggling in Bu Zhengjun's era have anything to do with him? Is the enormous wealth that this person currently possesses leveraged by the levers of power? When he was the mayor of Jingzhou nine years ago, Liu Chongtian had never heard of such a Jin Qiming, so it can be inferred that Jin Qiming's amazing rise occurred after he left Jingzhou.

Jin Qiming is now a successful person, and he is going to acquire the listed company Blue Sky Technology, oh, by the way, people still have to run education,—— there is a message from the Ministry of Education on the materials, saying that the Pyramid Group is going to invest 300 million to establish Jingzhou Institute of Technology!

Mr. Kim Qiming, a famous entrepreneur, smiled in various newspapers and magazines in the past, smiled at the grand banquet at the Pyramid Hotel, exercised the right of people's representative in Gyeongju City, and was still smiling when he walked to the ballot box. This person's smile is so charming, yet so unpredictable, with the mystery of the Mona Lisa.

Now, the veil of mystery has been revealed, and it is Bai Keshu himself who has unveiled it: Bai Keshu, as the executive deputy mayor, can make Mr. Jin allocate 250,000 yuan to Gao Yaju with one sentence, and this kind of casualness and intimacy is obviously beyond ordinary feelings. This is not a loan, Bai Keshu has inadvertently stated when he recounts this fact: it is Gao Yaju who resolutely disagrees with accepting this money. Of course, whether Gao Yaju accepted the 250,000 yuan, the task force still has to carefully investigate, but no matter what the final result is, it shows a fact: Bai Keshu and Jin are suspected of trading for money. Bai Keshu also made it clear publicly during the conversation that he had never let Jin Qiming's friends suffer.

The experience of handling cases in the past has proved that there is always a shadow of corruption behind abnormal sudden wealth, and this experience has been verified once again.

Now the question is: Why did Jin Qiming suddenly think of acquiring Blue Sky Technology? Was it a whim, or was it a long-term plan? Didn't he know that Blue Sky Technology had lost the bottom? Is there any connection between Jin Qiming's sudden acquisition and restructuring and the Blue Sky corruption case? Is it just a white tree that supports Jin Qiming's sudden wealth? Are there any other powerful figures? How deep is this pool of black water in Jingzhou? What other big fish are hiding in the depths of the black water? Jin Qiming is a successful person after all, will he still be in this pool of black water after success? And that Zhao Fenfang, what kind of character is he? Is it just fishing in troubled waters to pursue one's own political interests?

Does she have any secret in her stomach? Bai Keshu and Jin Qiming's interests with Jingzhou entrepreneurs, does she really not know, or pretend not to know? This person has continuously deferred Quansheng's power to Qi Xiaoyan, in addition to patting Quansheng's sycophants, does he have any intention of covering up? In such a localized corrupt environment, can this extremely utilitarian woman be left alone? The more he thought about it, the more doubts he became, and Liu Chongtian couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: It seems that the battle against corruption is becoming more and more difficult to fight, new situations and new problems are constantly emerging, the causes of corruption are intricately intertwined, the struggle is brutal and fierce, and there is a tendency to evolve into an all-round three-dimensional war. This is no longer the kind of cat and mouse rivalry of the early years, sheep and wolves are also involved intentionally or unintentionally, and many large and small animals involved are unrecognizable, sometimes making you unable to make accurate judgments. What is even more serious is that in recent years, there have been more and more cases with underworld backgrounds, and the courage to sacrifice is no longer an empty phrase when the task force expresses its determination...... Thinking of this, the phone suddenly rang.

Liu Chongtian interrupted his thinking and subconsciously picked up his mobile phone: "Hey, which one?" ”

It was an unfamiliar accent: "Excuse me, is it Comrade Liu Chongtian?" ”

Liu Chongtian instinctively felt that something was wrong: "Yes, I'm Liu Chongtian, who are you?" ”

The voice on the phone was cold: "A decent crowd, but also a crowd who knows you well!" None of your have escaped my eyes! Do you think that if you let people kill Qi Universe in prison, you can escape the punishment of justice? Wrong, Liu Chongtian, I am telling you: If Qi Universe really dies in the prison hospital, you can't tell it clearly, you are killing people! ”

Liu Chongtian was very surprised: Qi Universe died in prison? Still killing people? He kills people and kills people? This is blackmail!

The voice on the phone was still saying, "...... Liu Chongtian, don't think that I don't know, Qi Universe exposed the problem of you accepting Blue Sky Stocks seven years ago, so you borrowed a knife to kill people, and let the management cadres and prisoners of the Third Prison poison Qi Universe......"

Liu Chongtian interrupted the man's words sharply: "Sir, do you dare to report your name?" ”

The man's voice was even colder: "I'm sorry, I don't want to be the second Qi universe yet, and I don't want to die unnaturally!" With that, he hung up the phone.

Liu Chongtian looked at the phone number left on the mobile phone and asked the secretary to check it, but it was a public coin-operated phone.

But he can't help but deal with this kind of blackmail seriously, it happened too suddenly, in case Qi Universe really died in the third prison as he said in the blackmail phone, he would be in big trouble, but he was afraid that he couldn't tell it clearly. Liu Chongtian thought nervously for a while, and was about to talk to the Provincial Bureau of Justice on the phone, first understand the relevant situation,—— after giving instructions to the report of the Bureau of Justice, he did not know about Qi Universe.

Unexpectedly, Li Shiyan, secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, called in first: "Comrade Chongtian? Where are you now? Yes? ”

Liu Chongtian was shocked: It's finally here! On the contrary, his mood calmed down, and he looked out the car window: "You are on the liberation road, ready to go to the Pyramid Hotel, see that Mr. Jin Qiming ,—— Comrade Shiyan, where are you?" Is there anything urgent? ”

Li Shiyan said: "I'm in Jingzhou Finance Hotel, please change your plan and come over immediately, okay?" I'm waiting! ”

Liu Chongtian also wanted to confirm his hunch: "Comrade Shiyan, why are you in such a hurry?" What the hell is going on? ”

Li Shiyan hesitated on the phone, but still said it, and said quietly: "Comrade Chongtian, your former secretary Qi Universe had an accident in the third prison of the province......

Liu Chongtian closed his mobile phone without listening, and instructed the driver: "Turn around and go to the Finance Hotel to see Comrade Shiyan!" ”

Since everyone who should have come came, Liu Chongtian simply didn't think about it, leaned back in the chair, and closed his heavy eyelids.

The secretary saw something: "Secretary Liu, you are being targeted now, there is really a trap in front and a chasing soldier in the back......"

Liu Chongtian sighed deeply, but his eyes were still closed: "Yes, this is also expected!" The secretary was puzzled: "Comrade Shiyan is so easy to deceive?" Even you, the executive deputy secretary, don't believe it anymore? ”

Liu Chongtian waved his hand in distress: "Don't say it, Xiao Liu, you let me be quiet for a while......"

The secretary knew that Liu Chongtian hadn't had a good rest for a few days, so he didn't say anything more, and took a nap with Liu Chongtian. The financial hotel is in the old area of Jingzhou, more than 40 kilometers from Xinwei, and the two of them fell asleep all the way. When the car arrived at the door of the financial hotel, the secretary woke up, and when he looked back, Liu Chongtian was sleeping soundly, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't bear to wake up Liu Chongtian, but let the driver drive the engine to create a special environment for Liu Chongtian to sleep a little longer. The secretary has been with Liu Chongtian for three years and knows Liu Chongtian's habits: he can fall asleep as soon as the car starts, and wake up as soon as the engine stops. After the arrangement, the secretary entered the hotel worriedly, found the room where Li Shiyan was, and told Li Shiyan about Liu Chongtian's tense handling of the case for a while, saying that Liu Chongtian was too tired, and asked Li Shiyan: Do you wake up Liu Chongtian immediately?

Li Shiyan looked at the car downstairs that had not turned off, and it was rare to be emotional, and said, "Then let him sleep a little longer!" ”

This sleep was actually two hours, and when Liu Chongtian woke up, it was already noon, and Li Shiyan was waiting for him to eat. Liu Chongtian was so angry that in front of Li Shiyan, he severely criticized the secretary, blaming the secretary for making a mistake. Li Shiyan saved the secretary's car and said: "This matter has nothing to do with Xiao Liu, it was ,—— Chongtian that I approved, you have worked hard!" ”

Liu Chongtian was stunned for a while, and then he sighed and said to Li Shiyan with red eyes: "Comrade Shiyan, it's nothing to work hard, I'm just afraid that I didn't do a good job and lived up to your and Comrade Bingyi's expectations!" The Jingzhou case is too complicated, and people are fighting an all-round three-dimensional battle with us! ”

Li Shiyan patted Liu Chongtian on the shoulder: "Okay, don't talk about it yet, let's eat, I'll treat you personally!" ”

It has been ten days since I went to the provincial capital to rest, and I had a comprehensive physical examination, and the results shocked Quan Sheng: almost all organs in the body have problems, and the most serious is the heart, and he actually wears the hat of coronary heart disease. Zheng Bingyi learned the results of the examination, and went to Ludao to visit Quanquansheng, who wanted Quansheng not to carry the burden of thought, and to recuperate with peace of mind, and suggested that Quanquansheng move to the high-level ward of the Provincial Medical University to live for a while. Quan Sheng didn't agree, saying that the atmosphere in the hospital was depressing, and he would be sick if he wasn't sick, so it was better to continue to stay on Egret Island. He also joked that if the province is unwilling to pay for this accommodation, it can be considered to be paid by Jingzhou, who got sick from working in Jingzhou, and Jingzhou can afford and should afford it. Zheng Bingyi said that the province can afford it and should bear it.

At this time, Quan Sheng had learned that Li Shiyan had gone to Jingzhou to investigate Liu Chongtian's problem, so he took advantage of the question and said: "...... Of course, this is not my achievement alone, it is the result of the joint efforts ,——of the cadres and masses of the whole city, and I have just fulfilled my responsibility. But what's going on now? Isn't it a bit of a danger for everyone? ”

Zheng Bingyi reminded with a smile: "Lao Qi, Jingzhou's economy has gone up, and the problem of corruption has also come out, don't you admit it?" ”

Quan Sheng nodded frequently and said slowly: "Yes, yes, not only in Jingzhou, but also all over the country!" Didn't Hu Changqing and Cheng Kejie all be shot! Our deputy mayor of Jingzhou, Bai Keshu, will be killed if he doesn't do it. However, Comrade Bingyi, I personally believe that the fight against corruption and the promotion of clean government should not affect the central task of economic work, nor should it turn into a struggle and struggle among comrades. Nowadays, there is a saying that many corruption cases have the background of political struggles. Does Gyeongju also have this background? Will the normal anti-corruption struggle turn into a political struggle, a factional struggle? I'm a little worried! Of course, this worry may be a bit redundant, with the correct leadership of you and the provincial party committee, this situation should not happen, I can be considered unfounded! ”

Zheng Bingyi became serious: "Lao Qi, what you said is good, and the reminder is also correct, it is very timely." The anti-corruption struggle in Gyeongju is acute and complicated, and if it is not well grasped, it is possible that it will turn into an unprincipled political struggle and a civil war between comrades. It is precisely because of this that the provincial party committee and I cannot be careless. Since you took the initiative to remind me today, then I won't hide it from you: Comrade Chongtian was also reported by his former secretary, can you tell me about Comrade Chongtian's situation back then? What the hell is going on with those 50,000 blue sky stocks? Is it Qi Universe who took bribes, or Liu Chongtian who took bribes? Did Liu Chongtian get involved? How deep is it involved? ”

Quan Sheng said meaningfully: "Comrade Bingyi, aren't you giving me a problem? Comrade Chongtian is now sitting in Gyeongju to examine the serious corruption of my wife, my daughter, and our Gyeongju team, what do you want me, the suspect in the matter, to say? said that Comrade Chongtian was involved, the problem is serious, and there is a suspicion of deliberate revenge! I'm afraid it's not okay to say that Comrade Chongtian is fine, maybe people will think that I deliberately curry favor with Comrade Chongtian, and I want to reach some kind of political compromise with Comrade Chongtian! Anyway, what I say is not good. If you and the provincial party committee really have any questions about Comrade Chongtian, and you really want to investigate it thoroughly and find out this matter clearly, you can interrogate the general manager who was responsible for bribing and giving away stocks at that time, or you can find the retired secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection Chen to find out more about it, so don't ask me again! ”

Zheng Bingyi was a little annoyed and reminded: "Comrade Quan Sheng, you are a party member cadre, not an ordinary cadre, and the secretary of the municipal party committee of our Jingzhou Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China. ”

Quan Sheng was unmoved, smiled and asked: "Then, Comrade Bingyi, please instruct, what do you need me to say?" ”

Zheng Bingyi smiled bitterly and sighed: "Old Qi, don't be so rash, okay?" I just want you to be realistic. ”

The smile on Quan Sheng's face retracted: "Comrade Bingyi, if you and the provincial party committee really want to seek truth from facts, then there is no need to ask me to investigate and find out anything." The case materials and interrogation records of that year are all there, Qi Universe and the general manager who paid the bribes are still in prison in our province, you and the provincial party committee can get a realistic conclusion from them! Of course, if you have something difficult to say with the provincial party committee and need my cooperation, you might as well say it directly, or give an order, and I can consider obeying the organization! It's true! ”

Zheng Bingyi had no choice, got up and said goodbye: "Okay, okay, Lao Qi, let's not talk about this matter!" I don't have any difficulties with the provincial party committee, and I don't want you to cooperate with anything, you can rest and recuperate here, if you have any difficulties, just call the general office of the provincial party committee! ”

Quansheng really did it, got up and accompanied Zheng Bingyi to the door, and said as he walked: "Comrade Bingyi, this difficulty is really a little bit,—— I will ask you and the provincial party committee for a leave of absence now, to visit Comrade Chongtian's lover, you may not know that Comrade Chongtian's lover Zou Yueru is still an in-service cadre of our Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, and I have to see her every time I go to the provincial capital." ”

Zheng Bingyi's footsteps did not stop: "What do you tell me about this?" You can go whenever you like, you are free! ”

Quan Sheng said half-truthfully: "In that case, Comrade Bingyi, then I will go back to Jingzhou today!" Zheng Bingyi snorted: "Lao Qi, you comrade is very political, you can watch it for me!" ”

Quan Sheng laughed: "Just kidding! Comrade Bingyi, don't worry, I am really reluctant to leave you! ”

After Zheng Bingyi left, Li Qichang came over from the next room happily and said to Quan Sheng: "Secretary Qi, I heard it all, you are so powerful, dare to talk to Zheng Bingyi like this, the province is afraid that there will be no second secretary of the municipal party committee like you!" ”

Quansheng said flatly: "Selflessness can be fearless, I don't ask him for anything, and I dare not say anything!" ”

Li Qichang said: "Then why don't you give Liu Chongtian some eye medicine and ruthlessly put Liu Chongtian into an army?" ”

Quan Sheng said: "Stupid again, right? Liu Chongtian is a general under Zheng Bingyi, what will I do! ”

Li Qichang said: "Secretary Qi, then you really went to visit Zou Yueru at this time?" ”

Quan Sheng nodded: "Of course, Zou Yueru and Liu Chongtian are two different things, and they have been here for so long, so they should go and take a look." You should prepare it right away, buy some fruit snacks,—— Oh, by the way, there is also the massage chair for the disabled, haven't you sent it yet? Let them deliver it right away. More than 10,000 yuan to buy a massage chair came out of the special care fee returned by Liu Chongtian over the years. ”

Li Qichang hesitated: "Secretary Qi, is it okay to send a massage chair at this time?" Isn't it a bit of a way to please Liu Chongtian? ”

Quansheng sighed: "What to please?" Liu Chongtian is annoyed when he encounters **, and Zou Yueru's life will be even more sad in the future. ”

Only then did Li Qichang understand: "That's a charcoal in the snow!" After thinking about it, he said, "In the past few days, I have been in the provincial party committee office for a while, and I heard someone rumoring that after Zou Yueru was paralyzed, the relationship between Liu Chongtian and their little nanny was not normal......

Quan Sheng pulled his face: "Don't say it, no one is allowed to pass it on to you, we can't make a fuss about other people's pain and privacy!" ”

After lunch, a short rest, Quansheng went to Liu Chongtian's house, and when he arrived, the store had already delivered the special massage chair for the disabled, and Chen Duanyang, the little nanny of the Liu family, was helping Zou Yueru to massage on the chair. Seeing that Quan Sheng walked into the door accompanied by Li Qichang, Zou Yueru turned off the electric switch, stroked the armrest of the massage chair, and said with a tearful smile: "Secretary Qi, it's hard for you to think of me like this!" ”

Quan Sheng also smiled: "This is not how it should be, you are the old director of the secret bureau of the General Office of our Municipal Party Committee!" ”

Zou Yueru asked with concern: "Hey, I heard that this institutional reform, our Secrecy Bureau has been upgraded to a department-level bureau?" ”

Quan Sheng said: "Yes, the municipal party committee has been streamlined by seven, and more than 130 people have been lowered, and the Secrecy Bureau and the Archives Bureau have been upgraded, which is the spirit of the province. He also introduced, "The new director of the secrecy bureau is that Xiaobai, you introduced him to the object!" ”

Zou Yueru was very emotional, but also very sad: "Hey, Xiaobai is in the right place, if there is no damn car accident......"

Li Qichang interjected and said: "Sister Zou, if it wasn't for that car accident, maybe you would have been the director of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee......"

Quan Sheng hurriedly interrupted: "Oh, by the way, Yueru, Xiaobai, they are saying that they want to come to see you!" ”

Zou Yueru's eyes were filled with tears: "What are you looking at?" What do I have to look at? You can't die if you want to. ”

Quan Sheng reproached kindly: "Yueru, why do you say this again? Yes? Deliberately stabbing me, isn't it? ”

Zou Yueru wiped the tears from her face: "No, no, Secretary Qi, don't be careful, the car accident seven years ago was not caused by you, for so many years, you and the comrades of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee have taken such good care of me, I ...... I don't have much to say to Chongnaï. After that, he beckoned the little nanny Chen Duanyang to make tea for Quansheng and Li Qichang, and specially explained that he would make this year's new Longjing. It was not the first time that Quanquansheng came to Liu's house, the little nanny knew who Quanquansheng was and what the relationship was with Liu Chongtian and his wife, not only did she not follow Zou Yueru's instructions to soak in Xinlongjing, but the water for making tea was still warm, and the blackened old tea was all floating on the water, and she couldn't drink it at all.

Zou Yueru saw it, became angry, and reprimanded the little nanny: "Duanyang, are you deliberately making things bad again?" Is this a dragon well? Is the water boiling? Pour me out and re-bubble! Then he explained to Quan Sheng quite uneasily, "Secretary Qi, you don't know, our little Duanyang, we have been spoiled by Chongtian in the past two years, and everything is up to our own temperament, and we are about to become the leader of our family!" ”

Quan Sheng smiled: "That's okay, with such a capable girl, you and Chongtian will have less to worry about housework!" ”

Chen Duanyang made tea again and brought it up again, his emotions were still very big, his face was tense, and his mouth was pouting.

Quan Quansheng took the tea and joked: "Duanyang, your mouth is not beautiful." ”

Chen Duanyang didn't pay attention to it at all, turned around and left, and after entering his room, he closed the door with a "bang" and never came out.

Quansheng didn't take it seriously, drank Longjing, and chatted with Zou Yueru.

The Jingzhou case can't be avoided, so Zou Yueru said: "Secretary Qi, you have to understand Chongtian, Chongtian can't help himself!" ”

Quan Sheng said: "Yes, I know that this case was directly grasped by the provincial party committee, and if it is not handled by the sky, others will have to handle it." ”

Zou Yueru said: "Secretary Qi, I know who you are, I don't believe anything will happen to you, are you okay now?" ”

Quan Sheng said: "Okay, after so many years, it's rare to have a few days of free time!" Then he said, "Yueru, you know, our Jingzhou is too complicated, and anything unexpected will make trouble!" Fighting back and forth, retribution for injustice, it's really endless! ”

Zou Yueru obviously didn't know Liu Chongtian's situation at this time, and also said with emotion: "Yes, therefore, when I talk to Chongtian on the phone, I often remind him that you must not be emotional and fall for some people!" Secretary Qi, I may have violated the principles of the organization today, but I still have to say: I don't think that Zhao Fenfang is a good thing! Back then, you had a conflict with Chongtian, and she didn't play a good role! ”

Quan Sheng was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "Alas, don't mention her, I saw the wrong person and made a historical mistake!" ”

Zou Yueru's eyes lit up: "Hey, Secretary Qi, can you sit down and have a good talk with us Chongtian?" Quan Sheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What are you talking about?" Yueru, you don't know what the situation is in Jingzhou now! The development of events was beyond our expectations, and it was no longer something that Chongtian and I could grasp. The problem of corruption in Jingzhou is so serious, I can't escape, I may be hit by an arrow, Chongtian and Jingzhou are inseparable, or I may be shot by an arrow, it seems that I can only resign myself to fate! ”

Zou Yueru heard the voice outside the strings at this time: "Secretary Qi, is it that we have also encountered any trouble in Chongtian?" ”

Quan Sheng Wei replied positively: "When it's convenient, you can ask Chongtian, I just heard about it during the rest in the provincial capital." ”

Zou Yueru couldn't help but be stunned when she didn't want to ask again, and a deep worry appeared on her face.

Quan Sheng comforted and said: "Yueru, don't worry too much, I can express my attitude to you today: no matter what happens in the future, as long as I am the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee for one day, I and the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee will be responsible for you for one day, and I will never ignore you." ”

Also in the afternoon of this day, Quan Sheng found a letter from his daughter Qi Xiaoyan in the room of the Ludao Hotel.

This letter is very strange, and it was obviously stuffed in during the time when he and Li Qichang went to Liu Chongtian's house to visit Zou Yueru.

The letter has no beginning or end, neither a title, nor a payment, nor an address, but it is the handwriting of her daughter Qi Xiaoyan, and the tone is also Qi Xiaoyan's. Quan Sheng couldn't figure out how this letter could be accurately stuffed into the crack of his room door through the heavily guarded hotel guards? What's even more strange is the content of the letter: it was no one else, but his daughter who asked him to stop taking care of Tian Jian's case and stop insisting on the cooperation project with Kluet. The daughter also asked him to keep a clear head and talk about some political strategies, in the current situation, first commissioned Qu Qiuquan to have a good relationship with Zhao Fenfang, saying that his future is also related to her life and death.

Does this letter mean Qi Xiaoyan, or is it someone else's meaning? Where is Qi Xiaoyan now? How deep is it in the Gyeongju corruption case? How could his answer be related to Qi Xiaoyan's life and death? Quansheng really shuddered a little, read the letter several times, stood in front of the window and was stunned, without saying a word.

Li Qichang decided that this was political blackmail, and suggested that Quansheng hand over the letter to Zheng Bingyi and ask the provincial party committee to arrange an investigation.

Quansheng didn't agree, hesitated for a long time, and then handed the letter to Li Qichang, and asked Li Qichang to quietly rush back to Jingzhou to find Ji Xiangdong, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau he trusted, to investigate secretly, and clearly instructed: "...... You told Deputy Director Ji Xiangdong that he should keep it strictly confidential, report directly to me no matter what the results of the investigation are, and not disclose it to anyone without my permission! ”

Li Shiyan faced the most difficult conversation since he became the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and even since he was engaged in discipline inspection work. The object of the conversation is no one else, but his own deputy, the successor he has single-handedly cultivated, and moreover, this successor is now working hard to handle a big and important case according to the instructions of him and the provincial party committee. If there are no accidents, this comrade will take over as secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection in a few months and join the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.

However, at this time, first the report of Qi Universe came, and now, the whistleblower died for no apparent reason!

The problem is quite serious, as the person who was reported, Liu Chongtian does have many questions to clarify, and this conversation must be carried out!

Looking at Liu Chongtian, who looked haggard, Li Shiyan slowly opened his mouth: "Chongtian, I invite you to come today, I feel very uncomfortable, from the feelings of comrades, I don't want to talk to you, Comrade Bingyi insists that I talk to you, on behalf of the provincial party committee, and also on behalf ......of him" Liu Chongtian smiled: "Comrade Shiyan, don't explain, I understand, I haven't worked in the Commission for Discipline Inspection for a day or two, and everything is clear." Now that there are so many things, you are very busy, and I am also very busy, so let's hurry up and talk openly and honestly! ”

Li Shiyan still explained two sentences: "It's good that you can understand, in my position, when you encounter such a situation, I have to say what I should say, I want to ask the questions that should be asked, you just need to answer realistically, don't treat me as the Li Shiyan you were familiar with in the past, just treat me as a strange comrade representing the organization, okay?" ”

Liu Chongtian leaned back on the sofa: "Okay, Comrade Shiyan, you start!" I know, you've been in Jingzhou for a few days. ”

Li Shiyan immediately started the conversation and paced around the room: "Comrade Chongtian, your information is very accurate, you know that I came to Jingzhou." He didn't hide it, stretched out three fingers, and shook it, "Three days, I've been here for three days, investigating a report by Qi Universe on you, accessing all the files of the Blue Sky Stock bribery case that year, and personally talking to the people involved......

Liu Chongtian seemed to ask inadvertently: "Is Comrade Quan Sheng also included in the interlocutors?" ”

Li Shiyan shook his head: "Not including Comrade Quansheng." Comrade Quansheng is quite emotional towards me, and it is not appropriate for me to come forward. ”

Liu Chongtian said: "It is very thoughtful, in the current context, Comrade Quansheng is afraid that it is difficult to seek truth from facts. ”

Li Shiyan looked at Liu Chongtian: "Then please tell me realistically: How did the adjustment of the provincial three supervision officers and police happen?" ”

Liu Chongtian asked rhetorically: "What?" Is there a direct relationship between the adjustment of some police officers and the unnatural death of Qi Universe? ”

Li Shiyan was a little surprised: "Oh, you also know that Qi Universe is dead?" ”

Liu Chongtian said: "Coincidentally, I received an anonymous phone call on the way here in the morning. ”

Li Shiyan's tone was not without sarcasm: "Comrade Chongtian, your information is always timely!" ”

Liu Chongtian had something to say: "Is it intelligence?" Maybe it's blackmail, right? ”

Li Shiyan waved his hand: "Don't argue, please answer my question head-on, don't evade!" ”

Liu Chongtian had no choice but to answer the question positively, and truthfully told the situation that Qi Universe was playing privileges in prison and running for Wu Huan, and asked angrily: "...... Comrade Shi Yan, may I ask you: If this detainee calls your mobile phone, what will you do? Don't you ignore it? Li Shiyan didn't answer this question, according to his own thoughts, and said to himself: "Because of this call, you have found the Provincial Bureau of Justice, and there will be the investigation of the discipline inspection department of the Bureau of Justice and the adjustment of some cadres and policemen in the future, I have already made the process clear,—— my question is: Who can prove that you really received this call from Qi Universe?" ”

Liu Chongtian didn't think about it: "Deputy Mayor Zhou Shanben can prove that I was at his house when I received this call from Qi Universe!" ”

Li Shiyan immediately explained to the secretary: "Give me the city's ** duty room, ask them to find Mayor Zhou, and let Mayor Zhou call me back immediately!" After explaining, he continued to ask Liu Chongtian, "-Among these adjusted cadres and policemen, are there any comrades you are familiar with?" ”

Liu Chongtian said: "No, I haven't asked about the specific adjustments, and it is impossible to ask." ”

Li Shiyan was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "You are not familiar with that Bi Chengye?" ”

Liu Chongtian looked at Li Shiyan suspiciously: "Bi Chengye? Is it the warden of the third prison? Or a commissar? ”

Li Shiyan looked at Liu Chongtian suspiciously: "Why did you ask me?" Yes! ”

At this time, Zhou Shanben's phone came, and it was on the red security machine.

Li Shiyan looked at Liu Chongtian, pressed the speakerphone button, and started a confrontational call, but his tone pretended to be relaxed: "Oh, is it Mayor Zhou?" I am Li Shiyan of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and I would like to learn a little bit from you, a model of clean government: Have Comrade Chongtian ever been to your house since he arrived in Jingzhou and carried out an activity of visiting the poor and asking about the poor? ”

Zhou Shanben's familiar voice came from the phone: "I came once, I asked him to take a taxi, what's wrong?" ”

Li Shiyan asked again: "On the night that Comrade Chongtian was at your house, did you receive a call from anyone?" ”

Zhou Shanben didn't know if he was busy and confused: "What call?" We just talked that night, we were old classmates. ”

Liu Chongtian sweated in a hurry, and really wanted to make his voice into the phone and remind Zhou Shanben.

Li Shiyan reminded: "Comrade Shanben, this question is very important, can you please recall it again?" ”

Zhou Shanben then thought about it: "Oh, by the way, Secretary Li, Chongtian received a call from his former secretary Qi Universe, which was made from prison, and I also ridiculed Chongtian a few words, which made Chongtian embarrassed, and found a director of the Provincial Justice Bureau on the spot!" ”

Liu Chongtian breathed a sigh of relief, and after ending the call, he said to Li Shiyan with a wry smile: "If Zhou Shanben really forgot about this, or I was the only one when I answered the phone, or Zhou Shanben was an enemy who had a vendetta against me, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to tell!" ”

Li Shiyan understated: "It may be difficult, but it can always be said that there is always only one truth, and there is not only one way to explain the truth!" Continue to ask, "What does Bi Chengye do, you really don't know at all?" ”

Liu Chongtian denied: "I really don't know, and I don't know what you mean." ”

Li Shiyan thought for a while: "Then let me tell you: Bi Chengye is the squadron leader who directly supervises Qi Universe, transferred from the provincial prison, and he bears unshirkable responsibility for the death of Qi Universe." Qi Universe died of heart failure, which was caused by torture by fellow inmates. ”

Liu Chongtian said: "Then I suggest that this Bi Chengye be detained and examined to see if there are any black hands behind him." ”

Li Shiyan didn't say anything, and changed the topic again: "Comrade Chongtian, you should always know Wu Huan, the former captain of the Third Prison, right?" ”

Liu Chongtian nodded: "It can be said that I know ,—— from the investigation materials of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Bureau of Justice, it is this person who asked Qi Universe to run for him in prison, and he was dealt with by the party discipline and police discipline, so he collaborated with Qi Universe to take crazy revenge on me!" ”

Li Shiyan accentuated his tone: "Wu Huan and Qi Universe took revenge on you because they were dealt with?" Is that what it means? ”

Liu Chongtian said firmly: "Of course! Before this, Qi Universe had always pleaded guilty and obeyed the law! ”

Li Shiyan was merciless: "Isn't it? Qi Universe had already revealed to Captain Wu Huan that you had accepted Blue Sky Shares seven years ago before being strictly controlled, and it was this Captain Wu Huan who didn't let Qi Universe talk nonsense......"

Liu Chongtian was very surprised: "There is such a thing? Comrade Shiyan, is there circumstantial evidence for this matter? ”

Li Shiyan said: "There is circumstantial evidence, a detained physiotherapy expert can testify, this incident happened on the night of the call!" ”

Liu Chongtian knew that the situation was serious, gasped, and did not speak for a long time.

Li Shiyan didn't ask any more, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with heavy steps, standing like a statue with his back to Liu Chongtian.

After being silent for a long time, Liu Chongtian opened his mouth again, and the roles were inadvertently reversed: "Comrade Shiyan, this means that the revenge of Qi Universe and Wu Huan is not valid, but I, the former governor of Qianjingzhou, are very suspicious: back then, a vice president of Blue Sky Company confessed that I had accepted 40,000 shares of Blue Sky Stocks, and the person who handled it was Qi Universe, and now I found that Qi Universe had signs of betraying me, so I deliberately created a storm of violations, and used the hands of the newly adjusted individual discipline cadres to commit a murder and killing?" Isn't that so? ”

Li Shiyan turned around: "Don't say that, this conclusion can't be ...... now"

Liu Chongtian stood up: "But this inference is valid, so there is this conversation!" ”

Li Shiyan was also not polite: "Comrade Chongtian, you must face the reality and make your own answer!" ”

Liu Chongtian thought for a while: "Comrade Shiyan, I think the conversation can be over!" I would like to give you two suggestions: first, immediately set up a special task force to enter the third prison of the province to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the death of Qi Universe, and let the former captain Wu Huan participate in the investigation; Second, don't handle the Qi Universe case in isolation, my intuition tells me that the death of Qi Universe and the Jingzhou corruption case are inevitably related, and the purpose is very clear, that is, to get rid of me, so please consider the two cases together, and don't be led by others! After a pause, he added. Comrade Shi Yan, as soon as I saw you today, I said that we are now engaged in an all-round three-dimensional war! ”

Li Shiyan's face could hardly see any expression: "Comrade Chongtian, you didn't think about withdrawing first?" ”

Liu Chongtian forced his eyes on Li Shiyan: "What? Comrade Shiyan, is the provincial party committee ready to let me take it down? ”

Li Shiyan shook his head: "I haven't considered this for the time being." ”

Liu Chongtian smiled coldly: "Then why should I withdraw?" I don't know who killed the deer! ”

Li Shiyan smiled at this time, and smiled very comfortably: "Okay, Chongtian, I accept both of your suggestions, I can tell you: the task force has been stationed in the third prison of the province, the squadron leader Bi Chengye has been isolated and examined, and the prisoners of Qi Universe are also being interrogated, and I will look for you again after the results come out." He let out a long sigh, "Okay, Chongtian, let's end the conversation with you, let's talk about something light!" ”

Liu Chongtian couldn't relax: "Let's report to you about the case in Jingzhou!" Now it is certain that this case has an underworld background, two bloody cases have occurred, and Qi Xiaoyan's whereabouts are still unknown. This underworld force is so against the wind to commit crimes, cutting off our clues one by one, obviously has its own purpose, and the complexity of the case has long exceeded our initial imagination. ”

Li Shiyan said: "I have read all the case reports in the past few days, and perhaps the darkest time is when the light first appears. ”

Liu Chongtian nodded: "There may be people who use the death of Qi Universe as a bargaining chip to blackmail me." ”

Li Shiyan pondered: "There is this possibility,—— there is another possibility, which makes you 'commit suicide in fear of sin'!" ”

Liu Chongtian was stunned: "Oh? I didn't expect that......"

Li Shiyan said slowly: "It should be thought that we must pay attention to safety issues, and we have a lesson in this regard!" You are right, this struggle is an all-round three-dimensional war, it is a life and death battle, and we cannot take it lightly in any detail. I was careless about Qi Universe, I should have taken protective measures after receiving the report, but I didn't think about it, thinking that it would be safe in our own prison, so I caused such an accident, and I would be talked about by some people......"

Liu Chongtian immediately thought of Quan Sheng: "Comrade Quan Sheng, I'm afraid he will have an idea......

Li Shiyan waved his hand and interrupted Liu Chongtian's words: "Oh, Chongtian, I want to remind you: For Comrade Quansheng, you must be objective, and at any time and under any circumstances, you must not be emotional. Lao Qi has already rested in the provincial capital, and the initiative to handle the case is now completely in your hands! But this kind of case-handling power in your hands cannot become absolute power, and it must also be restricted! ”

Liu Chongtian smiled bitterly and said, "Comrade Shiyan, do you still need to talk about this?" You and Comrade Bingyi have repeatedly emphasized that they have been staring at me! ”

Li Shiyan was still unsatisfied: "Chongtian, don't be careful, I'm not talking about you here, I'm talking about a point of view: While we are resolutely carrying out the anti-corruption struggle, we must also be vigilant against the emergence of another situation, what kind of situation?" It is under the banner of anti-corruption and clean government, let the bad guys supervise the good guys, and the bad guys rectify the good guys! Tian Jian of Blue Sky Technology is an example, an innocent young man, who was framed by Bai Keshu and a gang of bad guys, and was almost killed by them in our own procuratorate! ”

Liu Chongtian knew in his heart that although Li Shiyan asked him not to be careful, although he gave an example of Tian Jian, there was still something in his words, and he still had questions about him, but he had to talk about the matter: "Yes, Comrade Shiyan, Tian Jian, I am ready to apologize in person." ”

Li Shiyan instructed: "Not only to apologize, but also to find an opportunity to restore the young man's reputation and make meritorious contributions!" In addition, it is necessary to seriously investigate the responsibility of the Jingzhou procuratorate, especially those guys who participated in the beating, one by one, and must not be soft! ”

Liu Chongtian wrote it down: "Okay, Comrade Shiyan, we will do what you instructed!" Then he took the initiative to talk about Quansheng, "Comrade Shiyan, Comrade Quansheng is resting in the provincial capital for a while, and the comrades of the special case group have concentrated on the investigation, and they have not found any notes that Comrade Quansheng has approved for his wife and daughter, and from the current situation, the problem between Gao Yaju and Qi Xiaoyan is indeed not directly related to Comrade Quansheng. After hesitating for a moment, he still said, "My personal opinion, should I ask Comrade Quan Sheng to end this break as soon as possible and come back to preside over the work?" There are a lot of things going on in Jingzhou at the moment, I am trapped in the case and can't take care of it, and Zhao Fenfang is difficult to reassure. ”

Li Shiyan glanced at Liu Chongtian with satisfaction: "Chongtian, it's very good that you can seek truth from facts like this, which shows that Comrade Bingyi and I didn't mistake you at the beginning!" I personally fully agree with your suggestion, and I will immediately convey it to Comrade Bingyi! Holding Liu Chongtian's hand and patting it, "If each of our comrades can truly seek truth from facts and act with a public heart, many complicated things will become very simple; On the contrary, very simple problems will become complicated, and our anti-corruption struggle will even become a personnel struggle! ”

Liu Chongtian deeply agreed: "Especially Jingzhou, which is a well-known earthquake zone, we must be more cautious......

At the end of the conversation, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and Li Shiyan kept sending Liu Chongtian downstairs, and asked the secretary to buy a cigarette at the commissary downstairs and throw it in Liu Chongtian's car. Liu Chongtian understood that this was not just a cigarette, but actually conveyed Li Shiyan's indescribable mood, and even apologized, so he didn't say a kind word of resignation, accepted the cigarette, beckoned to Li Shiyan, and left.

Zhao Fenfang got out of the car and walked into the lobby of the European Hotel, Jin Qiming, who had been waiting at the door, respectfully greeted him.

The secretary looked at his watch and quietly reminded: "Mayor Zhao, the guests from Tokyo, Japan will arrive at six o'clock and will be arranged in the Rome Hall." ”

Zhao Fenfang nodded: "Got it, at five fifty o'clock, you come over and call me again, and I'll talk to Mr. Jin about something first." Then, he explained, "It's less than four o'clock now, you don't have to wait here, go back first, I don't have rice at home, you go buy ten catties of rice, buy some vegetables, wash it and put it in the refrigerator." Oh, by the way, don't forget to buy me a few packs of Hushubao, to buy some silky, day and night types. After thinking about it, he changed his mind again, "Forget it, let's buy the night type!" ”

Because Jin Qiming was in front of him, the female mayor actually confessed to buy sanitary napkins, and the secretary was a little embarrassed, so she responded and left with a red face.

Jin Qiming didn't say anything in front of the male secretary, got on the elevator, and saw that there was no one else in the elevator, so he joked with Zhao Fenfang: "Mayor Zhao, it seems that it's better to be a public servant, there are people to serve everything, and even the sanitary napkins can be bought for you by the secretary of the family." ”

Zhao Fenfang glanced at Jin Qiming unhappily: "Mr. Jin, what do you mean?" ”

Jin Qiming smiled: "Mayor Zhao, what can I mean?" It's nothing more than pointing out a fact! ”

Zhao Fenfang is very serious, and it can almost be said that she is uplifting: "What's wrong with this fact?" What's unreasonable? Let the secretary do nothing, just sit in the lobby and drink tea and watch the scenery? Is it so easy to get a salary of more than 2,000 yuan a month? If he does a little more as a secretary and takes care of my housework, I can think more and do more big things! Mr. Jin, do you think that's the truth? ”

Jin Qiming sneered: "Yes, yes, that's the truth, when you are the mayor, he buys sanitary napkins for you to serve the people!" ”

Zhao Fenfang already felt that Jin Qiming's tone was not quite right, and he was a little bold, but he still didn't expect to be so passive in the next two hours, so that he had to put down his shelves and re-examine this unattractive man in the years to come.

The meeting was arranged by Jin Qiming, not a luxurious presidential suite, but an ordinary suite with a living room, room number 1304, which was exactly where she "talked" with Jin Qiming a month ago. As soon as Jin Qiming entered the door, he deliberately emphasized this point, and reminded her with a smile: "Mayor Zhao, don't you think this room is very familiar?" Look, room 1304, you've talked to me here! ”

Zhao Fenfang suddenly became alert, and looked at Jin Qiming suspiciously: "Oh, Mr. Jin, what do you want to do?" ”

Jin Qiming said with a smile: "If you don't do anything, I'll talk to you about my heart, and it's okay to come and not be rude!" Mayor Zhao, please relax, you are not in any danger. Oh, by the way, you once asked me to drink a bottle of French red here, do you want to have a bottle of French red today? Of course, I spend personal money, which will not cause the loss of state-owned assets, if you like it, XO you can also order! ”

Zhao Fenfang sat down on the sofa and said lightly: "You know, I still have foreign affairs activities at six o'clock, so let's have a glass of mineral water!" ”

Jin Qiming poured a glass of mineral water for Zhao Fenfang, put it in front of him, and sighed exaggeratedly: "Honest, honest!" Mayor Zhao, if our leading cadres at all levels are as honest as you, the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Anti-Corruption Bureau will all close down! ”

Zhao Fenfang knocked on the coffee table: "Boss Jin, don't talk this nonsense, what do you want to do, say it!" ”

Jin Qiming looked **: "What don't you want to do, really!" Mayor Zhao, a month ago, you were here to help me recall history, and you said that I believe it will arouse many pleasant memories in me. More than a month has passed, and I really have a lot of happy memories! But the hero is not me.,It's you.,Sister, you're not simple.,I was bluffed at the time! Mayor Zhao, can I report to you? ”

Zhao Fenfang thought to herself: This tone is not right, I am afraid that trouble is coming, and smiled coldly: "Say it, Boss Jin, I will listen to you!" ”

Jin Qiming paced in the room and said: "Mayor Zhao, since you like to review history so much, I think we should start with cordial and beautiful memories!" If I'm not mistaken, Mayor Zhao, you should be a seventh- and eighth-grade college student, graduated from the Chinese Department of the Provincial Normal College in 1982, and was assigned by the provincial city to the Jingzhou City Foreign Affairs Office as a secretary on September 8 of that year. Hey, don't look at me like that, I'll admit it: I've put a bit of effort into getting to know you. You're not a good secretary, you can't even write an ordinary English report well, and you've been trained by your director several times to cry. It's no wonder that you weren't a good student in college and failed English. How did you get through? Give a gift to your teacher! Who is the teacher? Liu Tongshan is known as the first teacher in the provincial capital. This Liu Tongshan is not good, and he still wants to be rude to you. You are heartbroken, in your junior year, you fell in love with a boy who was your senior, but people didn't fancy you, and they gave you a nickname, called 'unbearable'. If I'm not mistaken, the boy's name is Wang Yongming, right? ”

Zhao Fenfang couldn't listen anymore: "Jin Qiming, what do you want to prove by spending so much effort to get my black materials?" ”

Jin Qiming waved his hand very gracefully: "It's nothing more than recalling history!" Since history has stirred up my pleasant memories, can't it stir up your pleasant memories? Mayor Zhao, you'd better listen to me, if it's wrong, you criticize and correct. "Let the gray college years pass, you are right, it doesn't prove anything, it only proves that I care about you!" There are so many students with high scores and low ability, and if you can get to the position of mayor today, it proves that you are no worse than anyone else! How is that Wang Yongming doing now? He was laid off in Pinghu at the age of forty-seven, and I think Mr. Wang Yongming is unbearable! ”

Zhao Fenfang smiled proudly: "If he is in Jingzhou, I will arrange a position for him, such as Mr. Jin ,—— you will be employed in your pyramid group, you will always give me this little face!" ”

Jin Qiming smiled: "Of course, of course! Mayor Zhao, if there is your clear instruction, I can even consider arranging a position at the vice president level! He said again, "Mayor Zhao, you are too tolerant!" It is precisely because of tolerance that he has stepped into the high position of power. When you were the director of the office of the Municipal Economic Commission, Zhao Baoping, the director of the Economic Commission, reprimanded you in public, and you ran to his house twice in three days; When Zhao Baoping came back from a business trip, even if it was three o'clock in the middle of the night, you would personally run to the platform to pick up the station. With this noble quality of self-reliance and the tolerant spirit of enduring humiliation, who can stop you from making rapid progress? Just when Zhao Baoping was in office, you became the deputy director of the Municipal Economic Commission. After Zhao Baoping retired, you mobilized the masses to send a letter of complaint and brought down another deputy director who was preparing to take over, this unlucky deputy director seems to be called Wu Changjun, right? I saw it a few days ago, and I still sigh when I mention you! Oh, this has to be reported truthfully: After Wu Changjun got a bottle of Wuliangye down, he scolded you, saying that you are a political **, too fond of power, and only adultery with power! ”

Zhao Fenfang was very angry in her heart, her teeth itched with anger, but her face was silent: "You invited Wu Changjun to drink this bottle of Wuliangye, right?" ”

Jin Qiming nodded: "Yes!" How can a department-level cadre who has retired a long time ago have the money to drink Wuliangye? Since I can consider donating 10 million to the old district foundation according to your instructions from Mayor Zhao, can't we invite our retired old comrades to drink a bottle of Wuliangye? ”

Zhao Fenfang came to donate to the Old District Foundation for the Pyramid Group this day, and seeing that Jin Qiming finally got to the point, he endured his evil anger and picked up the conversation: "Mr. Jin, I think the memories can be over, you can talk about the donation!" ”

Jin Qiming didn't do it: "Mayor Zhao, don't worry, I just said an opening remark, why didn't you let me speak?" Then he said to himself, "To be fair, you should be considered a well-rounded person." Nine years ago, Quanquan Sheng became the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, and you became the deputy mayor under the nomination of Quansheng, and later became the executive deputy mayor. Soon after, Quansheng and Liu Chongtian fell out, one city, two systems, and you are faced with a choice. You are in the ** compound, you know Liu Chongtian's difficulties, and you sympathize with Liu Chongtian in your heart, however, you chose Quansheng, because you understand that the secretary of the provincial party committee seven years ago was Chen Baichuan, not Zheng Bingyi, and Liu Chongtian, who has no political backing, can't fight Quansheng; At the same time, you see an opportunity to replace it. So, you supported Quansheng with political silence, and after driving out Liu Chongtian, you became the mayor of Jingzhou City. You've done a beautiful job, the snipe and the clam are fighting, the fisherman is profitable, you are the fisherman. ”

Zhao Fenfang yawned exaggeratedly: "Mr. Jin, if there is no new topic, I think it can be over." ”

Jin Qiming's tone was relaxed: "Of course there are fresh topics. Looking back on history, it is entirely for the purpose of observing reality,—— and see, I use a very technical term - 'observation', and the same kind of word is 'candlelight'. Whether it's 'contemplation' or 'candlelight', it's the same thing, let's go back to reality. Mayor Zhao, the reality of Jingzhou today is very interesting, you discovered those interesting things earlier than me, so, the day after the incident, you invited me to talk, and the conversation made my blood boil and fidget, I have to admit: you are a step ahead of me in political speculation. I keenly felt at that time that you were like the fisherman on the beach, putting on a hat in time to cover the sun, mentioning the household belongings to catch the sea, and going to pick up something, maybe a sandpiper mussel, maybe the position of secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee! Oh my God, Mayor Zhao, you really did it, one stood upright on the spot, without saying a word, you held high the white flag and went directly to Liu Chongtian's camp from Quan Sheng's side, and there was not even a transition......

Zhao Fenfang couldn't help it: "Mr. Jin, my tolerance is limited, I think, you should shut up!" ”

Jin Qiming spread his hands: "Okay, Mayor Zhao, if you don't let me say it, I can not say it, but even if I don't say it, you will have to pay the price for your stupidity!" You know better than me: Now that Quansheng hates you to death, Liu Chongtian doesn't want you to live or die! Even if it is fully served, you can't be the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee! Even if Zhou Shanben goes up, you can't go up! Do you believe it or not? ”

Zhao Fenfang smiled concealedly: "Mr. Jin, when did I tell you that I want to be the secretary of this municipal party committee?" Yes? How big is an official? If I can do this mayor, do a good job, and be worthy of the eight million people of Jingzhou, I will be satisfied! ”

Jin Qiming also laughed: "Mayor Zhao, we are talking between friends, why are you such an official?" How big is an official to be big? In my opinion, you should be the number one, not the number one, you can't have your own political will, it is impossible to realize your own political retribution, and it is impossible to appreciate the infinite scenery of the pinnacle of power! In China, which is in the initial stage of socialism, what does it mean to be the number one in one region? It means supreme power that is almost unchecked! ”

Zhao Fenfang was stunned: This Jin Qiming is really amazing, she is worthy of being a civil politician, and she has said everything in her heart!

Jin Qiming was silent for a moment: "So, Mayor Zhao, it is completely understandable that you are planning to be the number one and want to replace Quansheng after the fall of Quansheng, at least I can understand it." Since I understand you, I have to stand in your position to analyze and think for you. Now, let's calmly analyze the political situation in Jingzhou: Liu Chongtian and Quansheng are not wearing the sky together, this is a basic fact, and Quansheng will undoubtedly collapse, which is also a basic fact. However, these two basic facts do not prove that you are in the active position, and your eagerness to take refuge and betrayal in the past has led to your current passivity and difficulties, and I think you can neither count on Liu Chongtian nor Quan Sheng, and the matter of the sandpiper and the clam competing for the benefit of the fisherman will not be simply repeated. If you want to go up this time, there is only one way to go, and that is to rely on Xiao Bing of the Old District Foundation to let him pass through Beijing, through the high-level of the central government, and poke it down with a rod! If you are willing to do so, this 10 million donation to the Old District Foundation, my pyramid group can consider coming out immediately! It's true! ”

Zhao Fenfang's heart almost jumped out of her chest: God, the biggest political secret hidden in the depths of her soul was so directly poked out by the private entrepreneur in front of her, she felt like a prostitute who was pulled out of the bed and forced to marry the prostitute with her bare buttocks. No wonder Jin Qiming is so bold and dares to talk to her in such a tone!

Jin Qiming didn't say anything, looking at her indifferently, waiting for her answer.

After a long time, Zhao Fenfang laughed and burst into tears.

Jin Qiming asked, "Mayor Zhao, what are you laughing at?" Do you doubt my sincerity, or do you doubt my strength? ”

Zhao Fenfang stopped smiling: "Boss Jin, how many times have you talked to Bai Keshu about a heart-to-heart conversation like this?" ”

Jin Qiming shook his head: "No, you know, Bai Keshu is a celebrity under Quansheng, and he doesn't need the power of funds." ”

Zhao Fenfang said coldly: "Then I can use it, right?" You want to buy the power in my hands with this 10 million, don't you? ”

Jin Qiming smiled frankly: "Mayor Zhao, look at what you said!" How can it, even if I donate this 10 million, it is not for you personally, it is to support the construction of the old area, how can it be possible to buy the power in your hands? Besides, Jingzhou is so big, your prestige is so high, I don't pay this 10 million, there will be other state-owned enterprises that give this 10 million,—— Blue Sky Group may be willing to do it! ”

Zhao Fenfang understood that what Jin Qiming said was cool, and the huge donation of 10 million yuan was donated to an old district foundation that not many people knew, except for Jin Qiming's private pyramid group, it was really difficult to find a second one for a while. However, Zhao Fenfang pretended not to understand, and the official tone fought again: "Mr. Jin, it's good that you know, it's your business to donate this 10 million or not!" You donated, on behalf of Xiao Bing, and on behalf of the people in the old area, I sincerely thank you; If you don't donate, I can't force you, I will still support you and your pyramid group to make your business bigger, and will never find an excuse to block you and press you. You look done! ”

Jin Qiming didn't say it thoroughly: "Mayor Zhao, when it comes to making my career bigger, I really have a lot of ideas. Now Blue Sky Technology and Blue Sky Group are struggling, I can't ignore it, and are preparing to carry out asset restructuring, and your mayor may have to have an attitude. ”

Zhao Fenfang smiled: "I heard that your pyramid group wants to buy a shell and go public, and you are eyeing Blue Sky Technology, right?" ”

Jin Qiming said: "Yes, our plan has been sent to Vice Mayor Zhou Shanben, but the negotiation did not go well. ”

Zhao Fenfang knew in her heart: "I know, and I can tell you: Zhou Shanben and Quan Sheng do not approve of your restructuring plan, they are inclined to accept Tian Jian's plan, and cooperate with Klut in Germany to engage in bioengineering projects, my attitude may not work." ”

Jin Qiming became impassioned: "Mayor Zhao, the reform and opening up has been carried out to this day, can you still wrap everything up?" Can a funeral be treated as a happy event? Is there one of the 'three represents': It represents the advanced productive forces? Does the Blue Sky Group representative not represent advanced productivity? As far as I know, Blue Sky Group is insolvent and has long been bankrupt, so why not make up your mind to let it go bankrupt? ”

Zhao Fenfang somewhat understood: "If the Blue Sky Group goes bankrupt, then the 870 million that the group owes to Blue Sky Technology will not be repaid, and Blue Sky Technology will also go bankrupt, and the cooperation with Klute will be hopeless, which will bring you an opportunity......"

Jin Qiming grabbed it and said: "If the German Klute Institute is willing to cooperate with Blue Sky Technology in the case of the bankruptcy of Blue Sky Technology, Pyramid Group and I will give up this merger and reorganization plan!" Mayor Zhao, I don't ask you to support our restructuring plan, I only ask you to make a public speech to disclose the fact that the Blue Sky Group is about to go bankrupt, support the Blue Sky Group to enter the bankruptcy procedure, and explain a point of view to the media on behalf of the city: act according to the laws of the market, and never support the Blue Sky Group. ”

Zhao Fenfang thought about it and readily agreed: "It's completely okay, the era of ** doing everything has passed, we can't just have a face and no ass!" To be honest, I have long had an opinion on the image project that Quansheng is engaged in! After a pause, he said worriedly, "However, you know the temper of Comrade Quansheng, and I'm afraid that my attitude will not solve any problems." ”

Jin Qiming said with a smile: "Secretary Qi, I'll do some more work, anyway, he is still resting in the provincial capital now, and he can't come back for a while." ”

Zhao Fenfang seemed to ask unintentionally: "Mr. Jin, until today, you haven't figured out Qi Xiaoyan's whereabouts?" ”

Jin Qiming shook his head: "I really don't know where Qi Xiaoyan went, I guess I went abroad, right?" After changing the topic, he took the initiative to talk about the donation to the old district foundation, "Oh, by the way, Mayor Zhao, how do you see the donation operation?" Should we send someone to Beijing, or should we let Xiao Bing and them come to Jingzhou again? ”

Zhao Fenfang made a look of not minding: "You can decide for yourself, if Xiao Bing comes to Jingzhou, I will come forward to receive you." ”

Jin Qiming was very sensible, thought about it, and said: "Mayor Zhao, then let Xiao Bing come to Jingzhou, I don't think I want to do the donation ceremony, first, the pyramid group is famous enough, and there is no need to publicize it; Second, it is a donation to a foreign foundation, and it is not good to publicize it, at least our charitable foundation in Jingzhou should have ideas, and our group only donated 100,000 yuan to the charitable foundation. ”

Zhao Fenfang felt that Jin Qiming was sensible, and a stone in her heart fell to the ground, and she couldn't help but pick up the mayor's shelf, and praised in a report-like tone: "Okay, very good!" Mr. Jin, entrepreneurs in our developed regions should have this noble spirit of silent dedication! The people of the old area are remarkable, they raised the revolution and the party during the war years! Without the great historical dedication of the people in the old area, there would be no New China, no reform and opening up today, and no pyramid of your President Jin! ”

The more she spoke, the higher her voice grew, and Zhao Fenfang gradually entered the realm of self-touching, and tears flashed in her beautiful apricot eyes.

At this time, the secretary knocked on the door and walked in: "Mayor Zhao, it's already five fifty, and the guests from Tokyo, Japan, have arrived." ”

Zhao Fenfang stood up calmly and held Jin Qiming's hand in a condescending attitude: "Okay, Mr. Jin, let's do it!" You must remember to me, your pyramid is the foundation laid with the blood of countless revolutionary martyrs, and the land sacrificed by the martyrs must be repaid. ”

Jin Qiming also regained his previous respect: "Thank you for what?" Mayor Zhao, this is what we should do! ”

Liu Chongtian rarely invited a guest, Tian Jian, the location is in the vacation center of the Public Security Department, and Zhou Shanben must accompany him.

Zhou Shanben was a little puzzled, looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table and the unsealed Wuliangye, he asked half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Chongtian, who will pay tonight?" Your brother wants me to come, and he won't put the account on my head, right? Yes? ”

Liu Chongtian pulled Zhou Shanben and Tian Jian to sit down, and while pouring wine, he said, "Shanben, your vigilance is too high, right?" How can I make you pay for my treat? Besides, who are you? Honest and honest model, I can't let you make mistakes if I make mistakes! ”

Tian Jian said: "What mistakes were made? Secretary Liu, don't buy this order, even if I buy it, it will be deducted from the state compensation! ”

Liu Chongtian nodded at Tian Jian's head and smiled: "Oh, you young man really want to bring up the issue of state compensation?" Yes? ”

Tian Jian was very serious: "Why don't you mention it?" Even if I lose a dollar, I have to make them pay! Don't say that I'm fine, but if there is a problem, they can't treat me like this with the Jingzhou Procuratorate, it's just a fucking fascist, and there's no way not to create unjust, false and wrongful cases! Western legal scholars have put forward a poisonous tree theory, which I think is very reasonable: coerced confessions are a poisonous tree, and the results of interrogations obtained by coerced confessions are poisonous fruits, which cannot be accepted! And how do we do it? We have entered the new century of the Internet age, and we are still extorting confessions and putting people to death! Interrogation methods prohibited by national law are still prevalent! Saying that, he became angry again, and unceremoniously asked Liu Chongtian, "Secretary Liu, let me ask: Our law enforcement agencies do not handle cases according to law, so how can we talk about governing the country according to law?" ”

Liu Chongtian sighed: "So, the leader of the task force, I only asked for wine today to apologize and apologize to your young man!" Come, come, Tian Jian, take the wine glass, I will toast you first, for the hardships you suffered and the grievances you suffered in the Jingzhou Procuratorate! ”

Tian Jian picked up the wine glass, but didn't drink it: "Secretary Liu, what do I want you to apologize for?" It's not your Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection that arrested me and beat me! ”

Zhou Shanben persuaded: "Tian Jian, since you know that it was not the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection who arrested you and beat you, what are you competing with Secretary Liu?" It's not that Secretary Liu and the provincial task force came over, I'm afraid that your young man is still being rectified in the Jingzhou Anti-Corruption Bureau! Drink bar, you! ”

Tian Jian drank the wine, drank it, and said, "Secretary Liu, I'm not asking you to apologize, I'm sincerely thanking you!" You are a clean official, a good official, acting in accordance with the law, and being the master of the people, because of you, my problems have been clarified, and the Jingzhou corruption case can be handled! However, a clean official cannot replace a society with a legal system, and in order to improve the legal system, I have to sue the Jingzhou Procuratorate! ”

Liu Chongtian also took a sip of wine and said kindly: "Tian Jian, starting from the overall situation, I don't want you to file this administrative lawsuit against the official, the impact is always bad!" However, you are very right about one thing: clean officials cannot replace a society with a legal system,—— not to mention that one or two clean officials cannot replace a society with a legal system, even a group of clean officials cannot replace a society with a legal system. Therefore, if you really want to sue, I can't stop you, I will still give you the proof that should be issued for you! In addition, I would like to inform you of the situation: Comrade Shiyan has already instructed that those comrades of the Jingzhou Procuratorate who participated in the torture of you will be dealt with one by one, no matter what reason they have! ”

Tian Jian was excited: "Secretary Liu, since this is the case, then I have to sue even more, give our society and the relevant departments a reminder, don't let some bad people rectify good people and frame good people under the banner of anti-corruption!" He glanced at Liu Chongtian and said clearly, "Secretary Liu, since this kind of thing can happen to me, it can happen to others, or even to you!" ”

Liu Chongtian instinctively felt that Tian Jian had something to say, and took a bite of food and chewed it in his mouth: "How could it happen to me?" Yes? ”

Tian Jian smiled bitterly: "Secretary Liu, are you tired of living?" Do you want me to say this? Who doesn't know that your former secretary, Qi Universe, reported you? Jingzhou is now spreading everywhere, saying that your problem is very serious, and you may be subject to provincial shuanggui at any time! ”

Zhou Shanben confirmed: "Chongtian, Tian Jian didn't tell a lie, there have been a lot of rumors in Jingzhou in the past two days, and the spearhead is pointed at you, saying that you are going to go in soon, saying that Lao Qi was invited to the provincial capital to rest is false, and it is true to help the provincial party committee find out your bribery problem." There are also rumors that you have fallen out of favor and made Comrade Bingyi angry, and Comrade Bingyi and the provincial party committee will not protect you anymore, anyway, there is anything to say. ”

Liu Chongtian said with distress: "Whoever likes to say anything, let them say it, people are not afraid of crooked shadows!" Since we have made up our minds to wage war against these corrupt elements, and we are on the front line of the struggle, we will inevitably encounter counterattacks from our opponents! Right? ”

Tian Jian said: "Yes, Secretary Liu, what should you do, no matter how difficult it is, you have to handle the Jingzhou case to the end, you can't give up halfway!" One day if you are really going to be unjustly arrested, I will go to visit the prison, and I will go to run for you! Come, Secretary Liu, I toast you! ”

Liu Chongtian laughed: "I don't think it's so serious!" He Tian Jian touched his glass, drank the wine, and changed the topic, "Okay, I won't talk about my business, I believe the provincial party committee will always figure it out." Tian Jian, let's talk about you, there is a question I still don't understand: Since your young man has already investigated privately and has conclusive evidence of Bai Keshu and Lin Yida's economic crimes, why didn't you report it earlier? Instead, let them strike first, making themselves so passive. ”

Tian Jian sipped his wine: "Secretary Liu, there is a situation that you don't know: when Blue Sky Technology recruited the general manager, the financial director Fan Youwen and I were competitors, Bai Keshu and Qi Xiaoyan both tended to let Fan Youwen be the general manager, Secretary Qi disagreed, and the instructions should be used by me,—— Secretary Qi's instructions I still remember very clearly: 'I don't want to engage in inbreeding anymore, just ask foreign monks to recite the difficult scripture of Blue Sky Technology, and the open Jingzhou must further open the door to all kinds of talents. After I arrived, Secretary Qi also visited the company and encouraged me to work hard, so Secretary Qi is very grateful. ”

Liu Chongtian said with a smile: "So, you have a kind of 'scholar' feeling that a scholar dies for a confidant, isn't it?" ”

Tian Jian admitted: "Yes, Chinese intellectuals have more or less this underlying emotional factor in their bones. He continued, "Because Secretary Qi has this feeling, I have to be responsible for Secretary Qi, after discovering the problem of Blue Sky Technology, I didn't want to report it, but first revealed it to Qi Xiaoyan, hoping that she would tell Secretary Qi and give me a chance to report." I never thought that Qi Xiaoyan and Bai Keshu had an unusual relationship, and instead of conveying my report request to Secretary Qi, I gave Bai Keshu the bottom of my secret investigation of the financial situation, and Bai Keshu used Yang Hongzhi to set me up. I found out that something was wrong, and when I went to find Secretary Qi again, Secretary Qi happened to go abroad to Europe to attract investment, and I had no choice but to be sorry for Secretary Qi, so I sent the report materials to Beijing. ”

Liu Chongtian criticized: "You Tian Jian, you keep saying that you do things according to the law, what are the facts? You didn't do anything according to the law! When you find the problem of Blue Sky Technology, what you think of is not to report it according to law, but to ask Secretary Qi to deal with it. Does Secretary Qi have the privilege of going beyond the law? Here, let's make a hypothesis,—— suppose you find Secretary Qi, and Secretary Qi doesn't deal with it? So forget it? ”

Tian Jian was stunned for a moment: "Secretary Liu, this ...... I ...... this question I really didn't think about it......"

Liu Chongtian looked at Tian Jian meaningfully: "Isn't it?" You're probably not a young man who hasn't thought about it, have you? I think I've thought about it, you are a 'scholar' in your bones, and the experience of studying abroad has not fundamentally changed your mentality as a 'scholar', you have to die for your confidant! The confidant is greater than the law in your eyes, higher than the law, not to mention that this confidant is the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee! ”

Tian Jian was convinced: "Secretary Liu, your analysis is right, this has to be honest: if I find Secretary Qi and Secretary Qi doesn't let me say it, I may shut up,—— I didn't want to send these corrupt people to court, but worried that I wouldn't be able to say it in the future!" Secretary Qi trusts me so much and has such high expectations for me, of course I have to make achievements, and I can't carry the black pot for Bai Keshu! ”

Liu Chongtian sighed and said: "The result is good, you're a 'soldier' who paid such a big price, and was almost killed by others!" ”

Tian Jian drank a glass of wine in front of him: "Secretary Liu, this time I understand, it is not good for anyone not to do things according to the law!" ”

Liu Chongtian nodded: "Yes, I first read the materials transferred by the Jingzhou Procuratorate, and even I doubted you!" If it weren't for Yang Hongzhi escaping from the kidnappers and turning himself in, you really couldn't tell for a while! He reiterated, "Oh, say it again: I just mentioned Comrade Quan Sheng, but I just assumed, it doesn't mean that Comrade Quan Sheng will really disobey the law, and really want to shield Bai Keshu and Lin Yida, these corrupt elements, you young man don't have any misunderstanding." The facts of the investigation now show that Comrade Quan Sheng has nothing to do with the Blue Sky corruption case, and it is Comrade Quan Quan Sheng who has been asking for your release. ”

Tian Jian said: "I know this, and Mayor Zhou also told me that Secretary Qi has always remembered our cooperation with Klute. ”

Liu Chongtian looked at Tian Jian and asked with concern: "Is there any possibility of such cooperation now?" ”

Tian Jian said angrily: "I don't think there is much hope, I didn't know that the whole group would be so bad before they got in, and it would have been insolvent a long time ago!" Once the group goes bankrupt, the 870 million that we owe Blue Sky Technology will be in vain, how can we cooperate with Kluet? Unless you make false accounts and engage in international fraud, I won't do it! No matter how much I am a descendant of Yan and Huang, no matter how much I love the socialist motherland, I can't do this to my own teacher! In my opinion, you better let Pyramid Group engage in mergers and acquisitions! ”

Zhou Shanben interjected, and said worriedly: "Chongtian, the situation is too serious, Bai Keshu has collapsed a state-owned enterprise group at the end of the day, maybe we have to let Jin Qiming's pyramid group merge and reorganize, it's really defeated without a fight!" ”

Liu Chongtian snorted: "It's not that we lost without a fight, according to the new situation that our task force has recently learned, the Blue Sky Group has been really lively in recent years, speculating on land, pouring real estate, and speculating in stocks, and there have been a lot of battles." But the strange thing is that every battle must be lost! The investment company under the group speculated in stocks for three years and suffered a net loss of 700 million, but the pyramid group made hundreds of millions. ”

Tian Jian reminded: "Secretary Liu, it's not 700 million, it's 736 million, and there are 300 million sets on the land. ”

Liu Chongtian continued to speak, with a gloomy face: "The Pyramid Group has made hundreds of millions, and many of our special shareholders have also made a lot of money, and they have all become experts in stock speculation!" Yesterday, Chen Liren sent someone to send me a material, which is the stock transaction records of six special shareholders of a securities company, which really scared me a lot: this kind of special shareholder who only makes money and does not lose money is not only a Gao Yaju, but also involves the families and children of five deputy municipal cadres. I'll just talk about the facts: they earned more than three million at most, and more than one million at least! What's more coincidental is that these special shareholders are all doing Blue Sky Technology, and when the investment companies under the Blue Sky Group are making big losses, they make a lot of money! What is the problem? ”

Tian Jian shouted: "What's the problem? Open the rat barn! Our investment company buys high and sells low, but allows Gao Yaju's officials and wives to buy low and sell high, this is actually a securities crime, and in Western countries with a sound legal system, it is to arrest people! He grabbed Liu Chongtian and talked about a new situation, "Secretary Liu, I don't know the situation of special shareholders, when you talk about special shareholders today, I think of the pyramid group,—— I suspect that the pyramid group is also a beneficiary of the rat barn, because there is no conclusive evidence, I didn't dare to write it in the report materials." After I took office, in order to recover the 870 million arrears owed by the controlling major shareholder Blue Sky Group to Blue Sky Technology, I have approached Qi Xiaoyan several times, and Qi Xiaoyan personally told me: The group investment company is taking our money and the pyramid group to join forces, what is the result of this joint effort? Now it's clear: the pyramid has earned hundreds of millions, and the Blue Sky Group has lost the bottom! ”

Zhou Shanben said: "If it is really a rat warehouse, it will be too serious. Chongtian, this question must be investigated! ”

Tian Jian fiercely slapped the case and shouted: "If you want to arrest people, arrest those official wives and young masters first!" Isn't the China Securities Regulatory Commission about to set up a securities crime investigation bureau immediately after the Pyramid Group was immediately sealed? Just ask them to scout! Internal and external collusion to open a rat warehouse, hollowed out the Blue Sky Group, collapsed Blue Sky Technology, and now it is going to be a public merger and acquisition, which is simply fucking madness! ”

Liu Chongtian was very calm, thought about it, and said to Tian Jian tactfully: "Tian Jian, don't be so excited, you young man, whether Gao Yaju and the children of those cadres' families are colluding with each other inside and outside to speculate in stocks, it is still difficult to say, the situation of the pyramid group is even more unclear, and it is necessary to seek truth from facts and conduct in-depth investigation and understanding, not to be emotional, let alone draw conclusions based on subjective suspicion." ”

Tian Jian was still angry: "I think Jin Qiming and the pyramid group are a little unclear......

At this time, Liu Chongtian's secretary came in and said, "Secretary Liu, I'm afraid you have to go, something happened......

Liu Chongtian couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and blurted out: "Oh, Comrade Shiyan is looking for me again?" ”

The secretary hesitated for a moment and explained, "No, it's not. Secretary Liu, yes...... It's your family's private matter: your little nanny Chen Duanyang is looking for you, you didn't bring your mobile phone, she called me,—— your lover Zou Yueru accidentally fell, fell very hard, broke her left arm, just sent to the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chen Duanyang was so anxious on the phone that she cried, and asked you to go back immediately......"

Liu Chongtian muttered, "Oops, it's time to add chaos again", hurriedly stood up, and said goodbye to Zhou Shanben and Tian Jian. Zhou Shanben reproached and said: "Chongtian, I think this is also to blame you, Yueru is in such a situation, how can you put your mind at ease!" ”

Tian Jian also said: "Yes, Secretary Liu, go back quickly, don't worry about my affairs." ”

Liu Chongtian took Tian Jian's hand and said meaningfully: "I don't have to worry about your affairs, I have to worry about my affairs!" Tian Jian, you must help Mayor Zhou come up with ideas and find a way to do a good job in the reorganization of Blue Sky Technology! He also explained to Zhou Shanben, "Shan Ben, Tian Jian reminded me today: We must be cautious about the merger and acquisition plan proposed by Pyramid Group!" ”

Zhou Shanben said: "Okay, Chongtian, don't say it, what to do, I know what to do." Go back quickly, I haven't been home for so long, and now this kind of thing has happened, I'm anxious for you! Go, go! With that, he pushed Liu Chongtian downstairs.

Liu Chongtian was still working in his heart, and after going downstairs to the car, he rolled down the window and said: "Oh, by the way, rare books, if possible, you can take the opportunity to study this merger and acquisition plan to deeply explore the bottom of Pyramid Group and Jin Qiming!" If there is any new situation or new discovery, talk to me in time, you can call my mobile phone, or you can call your home in the capital of our province. ”

Zhou Shanben smiled bitterly and nodded: "Okay, Chongtian, I will listen to your arrangement, say hello to Yueru on my behalf!" ”

At this time, the car had already started, and Liu Chongtian thought of Zhao Fenfang again, afraid that Zhao Fenfang would make some unexpected mess for personal purposes, and wanted to remind Zhou Shanben, but he felt inconvenient to say, so he swallowed back the words to his mouth.
