Chapter 346 You can’t escape for the time being! The driver, Xiao Liu, was still in some state of panic at this time. Seeing the police comrades took out handcuffs, he quickly got out of the car to stop them.
"Comrade Public Security! You must be mistaken. This is Deputy Minister Xu of our Ministry of Construction!"
It's not something that any random person can catch.
The public security comrades are acting on orders, and no one can stop them at this time.
One of them opened the car door and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Comrade Xu, please get in the car."
The driver had already introduced himself, but the other party still maintained a businesslike attitude. Deputy Minister Xu knew what was going on when he saw this.
This incident was obviously directed at him.
The problem seems to be quite serious.
There is no point in saying more at this time.
Before getting in the car, Deputy Minister Xu gave the driver a look and said, "Xiao Liu, go back to your unit first and make sure to report the situation here to Minister Zhao truthfully."
"I'll go with the police and cooperate with their investigation. I think there must be some misunderstanding here. I'll just clarify it."
The driver sighed quickly, and seeing that Vice Minister Xu was taken into another car, he did not dare to delay and quickly stepped on the accelerator and returned to the unit.
Unfortunately, Minister Zhao was out for some urgent matter and was not at the office.
The remaining leaders have less experience than Deputy Minister Xu, so it would be useless if they went.
The director of the General Office did say that if there was any emergency, he could help contact Minister Zhao.
But being taken away by the Public Security Bureau for investigation is not a glorious thing.
The driver didn't dare to leak the news, so he just stood at the door of the unit, waiting for Minister Zhao to come back.
On the other side, after the public security comrades brought Deputy Minister Xu back to the police station, they sent him directly to the interrogation room on the lower floor.
The person in charge of this interrogation was transferred from the Ministry of Public Security. After all, Deputy Minister Xu has such a high rank, and ordinary people do not have the psychological ability to withstand such pressure.
Knowing that the other party was well prepared, Vice Minister Xu was too lazy to beat around the bush.
After sitting down, he looked directly at the two police officers, "I wonder what's the matter with you inviting me here in this way today?"
The interrogator in charge was Director Wei of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ministry of Public Security. He looked over when he heard this.
"We have recently received several letters of complaint, in which the complainants said that you were directly related to Tan Mingkai's accidental death."
"Comrade Public Security, this is a pure false accusation!"
Deputy Minister Xu frowned and said, "Secretary Tan was a comrade. We are all very saddened by his passing, but he and I had no professional conflicts and no private interactions. How could this matter be brought up on me?"
"Whether it's a false accusation or not, we will investigate it ourselves."
Director Wei got straight to the point: "On the day of the incident, which was the 16th of last month, between 8 p.m. and 8 p.m., where were you?"
When masters fight, even a punctuation mark must be carefully considered.
This question seems simple, but it is obviously misleading.
Secretary Tan was not from his department, and the two of them had no personal grudges against each other.
At this point, more than a month had passed since the incident. It would be strange if he could still remember everything that happened that day clearly.
After pondering for a long time, Deputy Minister Xu shook his head and said, "I can't remember clearly, but generally speaking, if I don't have any social events at work, I go straight home after work."
As he spoke, he took out a leather-covered notebook from his briefcase.
There are some itineraries on there.
After searching for a while, Deputy Minister Xu said, "There was nothing to do at the office that day, so I went straight home after get off work."
