Tao Tianze thought for a while and said, "This is also what I have always been very confused about. Can we speculate that there may be some kind of grudge between Hu Luntai and Chen Mingyue? ”

Zhong Ruchen nodded and said, "This possibility does exist. If there is any undying grudge between Hu Luntai and Chen Mingyue, then Chen Mingyue's approach is easier to understand. He knew that it would not be easy to bring down Hu Luntai, so he deliberately designed such a trap to achieve the goal of revenge. Although this may sound a bit fantastical, it is also a reasonable explanation. ”

In the end, the two men did not come up with a conclusive conclusion. Tao Tianze returned to the working group with the dossier, and sent Zhu Congyan back to the city to send the dossier to Secretary Li Dacheng.

Just when Hu Luntai's case was progressing smoothly, Wu Jun, secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee, suddenly came to Hexi, accompanied by Li Dacheng, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and leaders of the Municipal Legal Committee and relevant leaders of the Municipal Public Security Bureau also came. Such a scene made Tao Tianze immediately realize that the final trial of Hu Luntai might be greatly discounted. At the county's political and legal cadre conference, Secretary Wu Jun clearly pointed out: Although there are individual problems in the political and legal team in Hexi, they are pure on the whole, and the cadre style is good; He also pointed out that it is necessary to prevent some people with ulterior motives from taking advantage of work discipline and work style to rectify work and make a fuss; At the same time, he also pointed out that whether it is for people or things, we should not expand the situation wirelessly.

Zhong Ruchen couldn't sit still below, touched Tao Tianze's arm and said, "Did you hear that?" This is to affirm the contingent of political and legal cadres in Hexi, express dissatisfaction with the work of your working group, and warn you. This kind of subtle and sharp art of speech has never been learned in my life. ”

Tao Tianze smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter how he speaks, the key is that I am worried that he will interfere in Hu Luntai's trial, and you, the chief prosecutor, will have to withstand the pressure when the time comes." ”

Zhong Ruchen snorted coldly and said: "What's the use of me withstanding it or not, it will depend on how the court decides at that time." ”

Tao Tianze asked, "In your judgment, how will the court decide?" ”

Zhong Ruchen thought for a while and said: "Now the key point is Chen Mingyue's body, if it can be confirmed that Chen Mingyue was threatened and forced by Hu Luntai or instructed to murder Chen Zijin, then Hu Luntai will definitely die." But if it is not confirmed, Hu Luntai may have to slip over. However, judging from the amount of bribes he embezzled, even if the court is influenced by our Secretary Wu, he will be sentenced to at least 15 years in prison. ”

After the meeting ended, Li Dacheng stopped Tao Tianze and asked, "Secretary Wu is speaking above, what are you talking to Zhong Ruchen below?" You're typical of having a meeting at the top and a small meeting at the bottom. ”

Tao Tianze touched his head and said embarrassedly: "Secretary Li, nothing can escape your eyes." After a pause, he asked, "What is the purpose of this Secretary Wu coming to Hexi?" ”

Li Dacheng said with a straight face: "Secretary Wu is Secretary Wu, what is 'this Secretary Wu'." Respect for superior leaders is the minimum quality of a party member and cadre. Pay attention later. ”

Tao Tianze knew that Li Dacheng would not be serious with him, so he responded: "I will definitely pay attention in the future." ”

Li Dacheng said: "There is such a big case in Hexi, and it is the secretary of the political and legal committee, and the provincial party committee and Secretary Wu are very concerned. It's also normal to come over and guide you on the work. Do not speculate as you should handle the case. ”

Tao Tianze pouted and said, "Secretary Li, don't blame me for speaking straight, I look at this...... I think Secretary Wu obviously came with a point of view. The speech he just made can be heard by fools, that is, to exonerate Hu Luntai. ”

Li Dacheng couldn't hear it, and sighed and said: "Now that Hu Luntai's corruption and bribery are beyond doubt, you don't have any psychological burden, just do what you want to do." As for whether Secretary Wu has a point of view, this is not a question for you to consider. As long as you put your heart in a fair position, you are worthy of the party, the people, your conscience, and heaven and earth. ”

Li Dacheng's words undoubtedly gave Tao Tianze a lot of encouragement. At the same time, Tao Tianze also eliminated his concerns about Secretary Li and the municipal party committee. If Secretary Li and the Municipal Party Committee can't withstand the pressure, the working group will inevitably let Secretary Wu Jun lead the way.

Despite this, Tao Tianze suffered the first major setback in his life.

In the afternoon, just when Tao Tianze was about to go to the procuratorate to interrogate Chen Mingyue again, someone from the county party committee office suddenly asked Tao Tianze to come over, saying that Secretary Wu had invited him.

Walking in the corridor leading to Wu Jun's suite, Tao Tianze couldn't help but feel uneasy. The one who is about to meet is the deputy provincial leader. As Zhong Ruchen said, in the eyes of others, the following people are just ants, and it is only a matter of one sentence to pinch them to death.

knocked on the door softly and entered, just as Wu Jun was sitting on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, drinking tea. Seeing Tao Tianze come in, Wu Jun pointed to the sofa opposite and asked Tao Tianze to sit down. Where did Tao Tianze dare to sit seriously, slowly squatted down, put half of his butt on the sofa, and softly greeted Secretary Wu.
