Chapter Eighty-Five: Escalation of Confrontation

After Fang Yi finished speaking, he calmly faced and stopped talking. ()

What he just said was tantamount to dropping a bomb in the hearts of the Standing Committee members, which immediately surprised everyone.

Of course, all of these people naturally include Chen Yang.

It's no wonder that Fang Yi has always been low-key since he came to Huahai, and even if he is in charge of the work, he is mainly familiar, it can be said that in the past few months, he has never done anything out of the ordinary, and his speeches at the Standing Committee are all clichΓ©s, which seem to be clear-streamed, but the old oilmen in the officialdom know that he is in Taoguang Yanghui to see the shape clearly.

But no one thought that Fang Yi coldly threw out this remark this time, which really embarrassed the municipal party committee.

That's right, the city bureau went to call the victim for routine questioning, which was a reasonable thing and the right of the police, but the problem is that once the matter involves the Japanese, it will be troublesome, and now the Japanese embassy does not know what the reason is, and has been pulling a lot of excuses to avoid the legitimate request of the Huahai police for several murdered girls to be interrogated.

Although Gao Ming was also extremely surprised in his heart, the expression on his face was still the same as just now, he glanced at Fang Yi, and asked without being salty: "Secretary Fang, what do you mean?" ”

Fang Yi did not hesitate at all this time, and directly put forward ideas and ideas that were completely different from his previous speeches: "Secretary Gao, as well as everyone here, I have been in contact with the comrades who have been handling the specific handling of the municipal bureau in the past few days, and judging from their reports, this case cannot really be determined at present. It was only from the police interrogation of the 13 suspect boys after the incident and the analysis of some evidence at the scene that we preliminarily determined that this was an obvious rape case. ”

When Fang Yi said this, he deliberately paused, as if he wanted to leave some time for the Standing Committee members present to think.

After taking a slow sip of tea. He continued: "But in the past few days, I have been thinking, could it be because of some specific factors and uncertain pressure that the comrades who handled the case, and even every comrade here here, fell into a misunderstanding from the beginning? ”

"Secretary Fang, we are just discussing now and not making a final conclusion, you don't have any scruples, you can be clear." Gao Ming interjected calmly, but between words. His brow furrowed slightly, "For example, what kind of uncertain pressure are you talking about?" ”

Fang Yi's face remained unchanged, but his gaze glanced at several special officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sitting in the back row, and then he spoke: "I mean the pressure from the Japanese Embassy. Could it be that as soon as we heard that this matter involved the Japanese side, we thought about the problem according to the other side's ideas from the beginning? In other words, since those Japanese female students are classmates with those suspects, they must have known each other before, so can we actually consider the problem from this direction? There was no rape that night, and there is a possibility that both parties will be willing to do so. ”

Fang Yi's words were very tactful, but the meaning revealed in his words completely subverted the inherent thinking of everyone present. It can even be said that it is a rake. After doing this, you don't have to think about it to know how crazy the Japanese will be to pay tribute to you. It is also because many words are not spoken so rough on this occasion. He revealed his meaning so tactfully.

The scene was completely silent all of a sudden, and everyone was not stupid. Naturally, he knew what kind of situation things would turn into if he followed Fang Yi's line of thought.

"Secretary Fang, we have also read the report materials submitted by the Huahai Municipal Bureau, the thirteen male students have already admitted that they had sexual relations with those Japanese female students during the interrogation, and in the physical examination of them after the incident, it was also confirmed that they all took soft drugs in different ways, this is a fact that cannot be changed, I hope you can pay attention to it."

Director He of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reminded in a cold voice with an unkind face, obviously, as a special commissioner, he only wanted to know about this matter as soon as possible, and did not want to make a fuss, after all, the longer this matter dragged on, the more it was a denial of his ability. Moreover, he has not sat here for so long, he seems to have heard a little taste, Gao Ming is similar to his goal, but he is unwilling to be responsible, and Fang Yi, who is doing this specific thing, is obviously not willing to carry the black pot, so as to lead the matter to a more complicated situation, as for the other Standing Committee members, although the tone is ambiguous, blindly emphasizing the need to communicate and negotiate, but who really wants to lower his head, it is estimated that no one is willing, this kind of thing is not to say, let alone do.

And what surprised him even more was Mayor Chen Yang's cousin, his official is not big, just a department-level cadre, and he is barely a figure in Beijing, but it does not prevent him from hearing some anecdotes about Chen Yang, a young political star, before coming, a certain bigwig in the ministry also hinted at him, asking him to pay special attention to Chen Yang's opinions, and when necessary, he must be tough, dare to deny Chen Yang's views that are not in line with the interests of the overall situation, and at the same time strive for the support and understanding of Gao Ming, the secretary of the municipal party committee. The above meaning is already very clear, but Chen Yang's previous speech was a typical expression of inaction, which made him secretly relieved, and at the same time, he also thought with a little disdain that most of the rumors he heard before seemed to be untrue, and this person was just Erer.

On the contrary, it was Fang Yi, but he was a little unsure.

Sure enough, Fang Yi seemed to have expected that someone would come out to refute him, the only thing he was a little surprised was that it was Lao He in the ministry who jumped out, not his fellow Huahai colleagues, which made him feel a little disdainful in his heart, and even vaguely happy, although these officials in Huahai have a lot of Taoism, but none of them are a little bloody, and the thinking of self-preservation has been deeply imprinted in their minds, not to mention, they are all still clever echo worms, hum, When they get to the point where they are now, I'm afraid it's also their limit.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Chen Yang, who was sitting opposite him, Chen Yang's expression at this time was no different from that of the other Standing Committee members, Yan sΓΉ. Cold.

Hum!

Fang Yi let out an extremely disdainful snort from the depths of his heart, but there was a very flat expression on his face, and he calmly shot back: "Director He, what you said is very correct. I don't mean anything else, I'm just raising a point for reference in your remarks, one is that as you just said, the city bureau tentatively concluded in the report on this case that the male students did admit that they had sex with each other, but not as the reporter said or we understand, that having sex is equivalent to rape? Regarding this, I think, after the investigation of several victims on the part of the city bureau. In order to be able to draw an objective conclusion, after all, the report given to us by the city bureau is only a very vague definition. ”

As soon as Fang Yi said this, the venue immediately fell into silence again. Indeed, although the possibility of Fang Yi's hypothesis is very small. But that doesn't mean his assumption isn't valid. Director He also kept his face calm and didn't speak, it seemed that he obviously didn't expect Fang Yi's words to be so sharp, and no one could take his words.

Gao Ming was also a little caught off guard, he didn't expect Fang Yi to put forward such a seemingly ridiculous point so clearly, and he could hear it clearly from his words. Fang Yi may not have planned to follow the normal procedure at all in the first place.

And if Fang Yi's words were brought up at the beginning of the meeting, it would have been better, but at this time, seeing that Gao Ming had basically set the tone, he jumped out again. Doesn't this mean making it difficult for Gao Ming to step down in person? Moreover, Fang Yi's idea did not communicate with Gao Ming before the meeting. This is definitely a taboo in officialdom.

Hum. The sword goes off the rails? Who can it hurt?

Gradually, Gao Ming also had a trace of anger in his heart, he knew Fang Yi's background very well, Fang Yi had a good impression during the period after he arrived in Huahai, he could ask for instructions and report in time for major matters, and he could decisively take ideas without bothering him, and very importantly, he could see that the slightest suspicion between Fang Yi and Chen Yang was a situation that he was happy to see.

However, the above did not become a reason for him to allow Fang Yi to be so presumptuous, and he would definitely not allow anyone to save face on the Standing Committee.

So, it's normal, when Fang Yi didn't seem to finish speaking, Gao Ming opened his mouth coldly: "Okay, none of us are policemen, how to analyze the case, how to characterize the case will be handed over to the comrades of the city bureau to do, there is only one thing we have to do now, properly solve the contradictions, and minimize the adverse impact of this matter." As he spoke, he glanced at Fang Yi coldly and said, "Comrade Fang Yi, I really want to know, since you have suddenly put forward this new idea now, then you must already have an excellent plan to solve the contradiction?" ”

Gao Ming's cold words and gloomy expression made the Standing Committee members present realize that Secretary Gao was obviously angered by Fang Yi's unconventional routine this time. That's right, this time you were also unlucky to encounter this bad thing, Secretary Gao asked you to deal with it with your tail between your legs, at most, you will be criticized by the above, this is also a matter of no choice, where is your responsibility, who told you to be in charge of this part? But now it's good that you don't want to talk about the responsibility, but you also want to intensify the contradictions, which doesn't make it difficult for Secretary Gao.

Secretary Gao was angry, and the consequences were naturally strict.

However, Fang Yi seemed to have expected to face Gao Ming's anger, his face did not change at all, he was still calm and calm, as soon as Gao Ming's questioning voice fell, he replied in a deep voice: "Secretary Gao, in fact, my opinion has been made very clear just now, no matter how bad the impact of this matter will be, we just need to do what we have to do, to be honest, this is just a very ordinary criminal case, as long as you act according to legal procedures, you will not wronged a good person, and you will never let go of a bad person, We can stand firm at any time by grasping this issue of principle, not to mention that Secretary Gao just said that we are not policemen, and since this is only a criminal case, we can just let the comrades of the Huahai City Bureau handle it. As for how to explain to the Japanese side and what kind of explanation to give them, I don't think these should be considered by those of us here at all. ”

Speaking of this, his eyes were cold, and then he said categorically: "Everyone, I hope you will consider such a major premise when thinking about how to solve this matter, this is China, not Japan!" ”

Fang Yi's loud words had clearly indicated his attitude, almost no different from the forced palace. In other words, according to him, this meeting will not be held at all. And if you combine it with his cold and resolute expression at the moment, let alone the other Standing Committee members present. Even Chen Yang, if he hadn't had a deep deal with Fang Yi before, he was almost shocked by his words.

The expression on Gao Ming's face became more and more gloomy, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, this scene, he seemed to be a little familiar Yes, I remember that when Chen Yang first arrived in Huahai, he seemed to have acted in such a play.

Truly. He didn't believe that Fang Yi was such a nationally proud official, he had been in the officialdom for so long, what could he say and what he couldn't say. Everyone is very familiar with it, and Fang Yi's approach is undoubtedly taking this opportunity to make a voice and show an attitude. The subtle feeling in this can only be understood beyond words.

Obviously. The Standing Committee members present here all realized this.

Except for Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was smoking slowly at the moment, because of the smoke, no one could see what his expression looked like at the moment. Only, behind this wisp of smoke. But it was clearly his calm gaze, looking directly at Fang Yi.

"Comrade Fang Yi. Is this what you call a solution to the conflict? I can tell you very clearly, in my opinion. Your way of thinking is very dangerous, and it is also narrow-minded and biased without regard for the overall situation. ”

Gao Ming snorted coldly, and his dissatisfaction was undisguised.

Fang Yi's face did not change, his eyes were calm, and he seemed indifferent to Gao Ming's heavy criticism.

And Gao Ming seemed to be determined to let Fang Yi accept some lessons, and after looking around the audience for a week, he continued in a cold voice, "Comrade Fang Yi is the full-time deputy secretary of the party committee who is specifically responsible for this work, and he has been in contact with the other party in the past few days, and he is most familiar with the situation, let's not care whether his plan is biased or not, but this is also a good thing, at least, he can put forward a plan to solve the contradictions, now, we will come according to the requirements of democratic centralism, and everyone in the team members will express their attitude." ”

As soon as Gao Ming's voice fell, this time, Fang Yi's eyes looked at Gao Ming with obvious surprise, and the muscles in his cheeks couldn't help but twitch violently, although his expression remained unchanged, it seemed that he was barely calm.

"If Comrade Fang Yi's plan cannot solve the problem thoroughly and properly, it will put the work of our municipal party committee into a very passive situation, so I do not approve of taking this risk." Vice Mayor Deng Guochun, who had a loyal expression on his face, was the first to jump out and voted against it with a clear banner.

And once someone starts, the rest of things are much smoother.

"I disagree!"

"It's a dangerous solution, and we're solving the problem, not speculating."

"I'm against it!"

"I voted no!"

"I also don't agree with Deputy Secretary Fang's opinion."

The Standing Committee members' statements were very unified, and every word, every sentence, seemed to give Fang Yi a slap in the face, his eyes were still calm, but he could guess now without looking in the mirror that the expression on his face must be stiff and funny.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a big mistake, or rather, underestimated Gao Ming's strength.

Gao Ming's face seemed to soften a little with this series of echoes, he wanted everyone to know clearly who was the one who spoke in this conference room

"I agree with Comrade Fang Yi's opinion!"

In the midst of this series of objections, a very discordant voice came out very suddenly.

Although this voice was not loud, it was immediately like a seed, and even without the moisture of the sun, it quickly took root and sprouted in the hearts of the Standing Committee members, and even grew into a towering tree.

Everyone tried to find the source of the sound in the first place, and they did it, because it wasn't that hard at all.

The muscles on Fang Yi's face twitched violently again, and his gaze looked deeply at the opposite side.

His gaze was complicated, with doubts, surprises, puzzlements, and even a hint of anger, but gratitude was completely absent

"Comrade Chen Yang, do you agree with the plan put forward by Comrade Fang Yi?"

Gao Ming turned his head slightly, and looked at Chen Yang with a deep gaze, as if he hoped to see the true thoughts in Chen Yang's heart from the wisps of smoke.

"Yes, Secretary Gao, I completely agree with the solution that Comrade Fang Yi just proposed."

Chen Yang repeated what he had just said in a steady tone, and as he spoke, he moved his hand holding the cigarette away slightly, and everyone finally saw his face with an indifferent and calm expression clearly.

The attitude he showed in this sentence also seemed to have changed from before, no officialdom, no empty cannons, simple and powerful!

And the whole venue fell silent again because of his simple and direct words, a deeper and more oppressive silence than before

Indeed, only Chen Yang, and only Chen Yang's current identity, can make his words seem so powerful and weighty.

Gao Ming looked at Chen Yang, without squeaking, let alone expressing any attitude.

"Ahem, this, Secretary Gao, I also make a statement, I think that although the plan proposed by Comrade Fang Yi is debatable, on the whole, we can't give it a try."

In the midst of this silence, a slightly embarrassed voice came out lightly, although it was also a statement, but it seemed very discordant.

It was Zeng Chunming, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and president of the party school, who spoke.

"Well, I weighed it carefully, and I still prefer to use Deputy Secretary Fang's plan."

The person who spoke this time surprised the Standing Committee members present, Li Guanping, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. (To be continued......)
