the next day.
The press conference was held in the lobby on the first floor of the Hua'an Hotel.
More than 30 media outlets from both inside and outside the province attended the press conference.
The entire press conference was hosted by a deputy director of the publicity department. Minister Li sat to the left of the host, Director Chen sat to the right of the host, and then Guan Feng and Wang Yayue took their seats in order.
As soon as the group took their seats, the spotlights from the audience immediately began flashing.
The focus is mainly on Chen Guoqiang's side.
Nothing more!
Wang Yayue is a top-tier beauty. Today, she wore makeup, exuding both intellectual elegance and a unique, poised grace, which alerted the reporters present to the news. Guan Feng, tall and handsome, also looked great on camera.
After the host gave a brief opening speech, Chen Guoqiang recounted the case from a prepared script.
Reporters present took notes, never expecting that the cause of the massive mass poisoning incident was just a poisonous cow.
After Chen Guoqiang finished recounting the details of the case, reporters at the scene began asking questions.
A reporter from a local radio station in Hua'an asked a more moderate question: "Leaders on stage, what is the current condition of the poisoned individuals? Is there any further information?"
The host said, "Minister Li will answer this question."
Minister Li replied, "It's 9:30 now. As of 9:00 this morning, of the more than 130 people poisoned, 72 have been discharged from the hospital, and the remaining 50-plus patients have recovered to mild symptoms. Yesterday's victim was an elderly man in his 70s who also suffered from multiple complications. Of course, I don't mean to say that the old man's death was inevitable, but rather that the poisoning incident is currently under control. We will also pursue the criminal liability of those involved!"
The reporter from Jiangnan Provincial Television Station was less polite and continued, "I'd like to ask Director Chen about this. Hello Director Chen, I'm a reporter from Jiangnan Provincial Television Station. I'd like to ask when this case was discovered? And what did your bureau do after the large-scale mass poisoning incident?"
Upon hearing this question, Chen Guoqiang frowned slightly and then began to organize his thoughts.
Guan Feng, sitting to the side, quickly scribbled down a few points on a piece of paper, then casually handed them to Chen Guoqiang from below the stage.
After answering according to his prepared response, Chen Guoqiang realized that only two minutes had passed and felt a little uneasy. Then he saw the note Guan Feng handed him. He glanced at it briefly while taking a sip of water and felt a little relieved. He continued, "Therefore, after the case occurred, we mainly need to focus on three urgent matters!"
"First, the investigation was urgent! People dined at the banquet hall the night before last, and the next morning, people started entering the hospital one after another. Our internal system immediately received this information. Considering the large number of people and the urgency of the situation, we did not follow the usual investigation methods, but directly transferred the case to the Major Crimes Team to prevent the situation from getting out of control!"
"Secondly, the intervention of medical resources was urgent! After initial investigation and discovery of the potential for a surge in demand for medical resources, we immediately reported to the relevant higher authorities. Under the coordination of Secretary Zhang and Mayor Sun, we quickly mobilized medical resources from the surrounding five districts and three counties to ensure that the people received timely treatment. The current situation also proves that our measures were effective!"
"Thirdly, the case investigation was urgent! After receiving the report, the Major Crimes Unit immediately participated in the investigation and uncovered the truth of the case in less than 6 hours. They also found out the whereabouts of the other two cows. After contacting the police in Jincheng and Shanghai, they promptly blocked the outflow of the two cows to prevent the situation from getting out of control!"
"It can be said that throughout the entire case investigation process, we worked together organically, combined efforts from top to bottom, and leveraged the combined strengths of multiple parties..."
As Chen Guoqiang began to speak, enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.
From Chen Guoqiang's account, they could see that the government had done a lot behind the scenes, which is undoubtedly worth writing about.
After answering, Chen Guoqiang breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his teacup, took a sip of water, looked at the reporters applauding sincerely, glanced at Guan Feng, and gave him a thumbs up under the table.
If it weren't for Guan Feng's three points just now, he really wouldn't have been able to save face.
After all, he is different from Lao Huang. He comes from a technical background and his speaking skills are generally average. This time, the question he asked was also quite tricky.
Then several more reporters from television stations raised their hands to ask questions.
The publicity department responded to each of them.
With time running out, the deputy director of the publicity department, who was chairing the meeting, said, "Due to time constraints, there is one last question! Let...a reporter from the Capital Daily ask the question."
The reporter from the Beijing Daily took the microphone, stood up, looked in Guan Feng's direction, and said, "The host just introduced Captain Guan as the investigator in this case. I also searched online and found that Captain Guan has several expert titles from the Jiangnan Provincial Department."
“Each of these experts has difficulty with even one of these skills, yet you possess several. Is there something wrong with that? Also, as the supervisor in charge of this case, what would you like to say about handling this case?”
No one expected that the questions would be directly posed to Guan Feng, and that these two questions were quite tricky.
Especially the first one!
Answering too much takes up time and overshadows the main point, while not answering at all suggests avoidance, cowardice, or a guilty conscience.
For a moment, the spotlights on site were even brighter than before.
Chen Guoqiang wanted to speak up to help Guan Feng out of the predicament.
Guan Feng flicked the microphone, cleared his throat, and began, "Regarding the first question, my expert assessments are all backed up, including my case-handling resume, which can be made public upon request. Considering the theme of this press conference, I don't want to overshadow the main topic, but please rest assured! Every aspect of my work can withstand scrutiny! I also welcome all the reporters present to apply for information disclosure from the provincial department and the municipal bureau after the conference!"
As soon as he finished speaking, applause erupted from the audience.
Many reporters were surprised by Guan Feng's certainty.
Chen Guoqiang and the others were relieved.
