Wu Chengzhu was not surprised at all by Li Lin's request. He smiled calmly and said, "Just tell me what you need me to do."
Li Lin told Wu Chengzhu in detail about Liu Zhong's case, but did not mention Lu Chengze because he was afraid that Wu Chengzhu would have concerns.
Finally, he said to Wu Chengzhu, "Director Wu, based on the clues the county has currently obtained, Liu Zhong's case is definitely not an accident, but a criminal case. In order to bring the criminal to justice as soon as possible, please urge the county public security bureau to investigate the case."
"oh?"
Wu Chengzhu was also a little stunned. He thought that as a provincial department leader, was he directly supervising the work of the county-level public security bureau? Wasn't it a bit of an overkill?
He smiled and said, "Xiao Lin, I understand what you mean. I will call Wan Zhenting right now and ask him to inquire about the progress of the county bureau's investigation... Don't worry, our public security department has procedures for handling cases. Criminal cases will definitely not be classified as ordinary cases. You must have some misunderstanding about the county bureau... Okay, is there anything else?"
Now that everything has been said, Li Lin no longer has any concerns.
Judging from Wu Chengzhu's tone, he seemed to have taken Li Lin's words seriously at all.
If Li Lin didn't know that Lu Chengze was behind all this, he might have asked Qian Lingyun or Long Gang to ask Wan Zhenting to come forward.
But this is not as simple a case as it seems. He predicts that Lu Chengze will make even crazier moves next.
Letting Wu Chengzhu, the provincial department leader, intervene early will be a deterrent to Lu Chengze on the one hand, and on the other hand the city and county governments will pay more attention to this case... Only in this way can we avoid more tragedies like Liu Zhong's from happening to the greatest extent.
It was precisely because of this that Li Lin skipped Wan Zhenting and asked Wu Chengzhu to come forward directly.
"Director Wu, please forgive me for being so presumptuous. It would be better if you come forward directly to handle this matter." Li Lin's tone suddenly became serious. "This matter is not as simple as it seems. If the city and county governments do not pay enough attention, the consequences will be very serious..."
Are the consequences serious?
Wu Chengzhu was keenly aware of the hidden meaning in Li Lin's words. Although he did not have much contact with Li Lin, from Li Lin's performance in the previous two cases of Li Lan and Lu Yuanfeng, he was the kind of person who was meticulous and decisive. Since he said so, it might mean that he knew some unknown secrets in this case...
Although it was not stated explicitly, Wu Chengzhu still felt the seriousness of the situation from Li Lin's unusually solemn tone.
He no longer hesitated, nodded slowly and agreed, "Okay, I will personally call the comrades at the Shannan County Public Security Bureau and ask them to be vigilant and investigate the case strictly... You can go meet with the people at the county bureau later and communicate your ideas to them, which may help solve the case."
Wu Chengzhu guessed that Li Lin had some clues in his hands, so he reminded him to provide these clues to the public security department when appropriate.
Hearing this, Li Lin smiled bitterly in his heart. He did have a recording of Lu Chengze's phone call, but that old fox had been talking nonsense on the phone... It would be worthless even if he provided it to the past.
Besides, the other party did not admit that he was Lu Yuanfeng’s father, the former provincial governor... Even if he admitted his identity on the phone, let alone the county and city, even if the province wanted to investigate the case, wouldn’t there be an extra layer of concern?
According to his idea, he should unravel the mystery and gradually expose the mastermind behind the scenes. Once all the evidence is locked... then no matter how special his identity is, Lu Chengze must pay the price for his crimes!
"Thank you Director Wu for your support." Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully.
At this time, Wu Chengzhu smiled again, "Don't be so polite. After all, you are also a special commissioner of our provincial public security department... Oh, by the way, speaking of commissioners, I will send someone to deliver your credentials to you right away... With this identity, you have the power to make suggestions to the municipal and county bureaus. No matter what happens, you can do it legitimately."
After this reminder, Li Lin remembered that he also had the identity of "Special Commissioner of the Provincial Department".
Because he couldn't figure out Wu Chengzhu's attitude at that time, Li Lin refused to accept this identity, thinking that Wu Chengzhu was just being polite. Unexpectedly, he was serious.
Li Lin thanked again.
Hang up the phone.
He got up and went downstairs.
Qiao An had been waiting for him at the entrance of the teahouse for almost an hour, her stomach growling with hunger and she looked listless.
Seeing Li Lin coming down, he quickly perked up, helped him open the door, turned around and asked, "Brother, where are you going?"
What he wanted to hear was where to eat.
But Li Lin told him, "Go to the county public security bureau."
"Oh..." Qiao An didn't dare to ask more. What were they going to do after work?
As soon as the car started, Li Lin called Niu Jianbin and asked him, "Secretary Niu, where are you now? I have something important to discuss with you."
Niu Jianbin was having dinner at a restaurant in the county town and had already drunk half a pound of wine.
Hearing Li Lin's voice, he frowned slightly and thought, why are you the troublemaker again?
He waved his hand at the people at the table who were urging others to drink, signaling them to be quiet for a moment.
When the scene quieted down, he curled his lips and said indifferently to the phone, "County Magistrate Li, what's the important thing you're calling so late at night? I'm resting now, how about we talk tomorrow?"
Li Lin knew that the Liu Zhong case was currently at a standstill. If he was an hour late, the murderer sent by Lu Chengze might have escaped. Why would he tell her tomorrow? Wouldn't it be too late?
He said to Niu Jianbin in an irrefutable tone, "Secretary Niu, the situation is urgent and we must meet now. Where are you? I'll go find you!"
Niu Jianbin was so annoyed! He thought, I'm already off work, and I'm not even allowed to have a drink?
Although he was unhappy in his heart, he heard Li Lin's tone and was afraid that he really had something urgent to discuss with him, so he had no choice but to say, "Okay, Tiantai Restaurant, I'll wait for you in the box downstairs."
Didn't you say you were going to take a break? Why did you go to Tiantai Restaurant again?
Li Lin laughed in his heart...Such a terrible murder happened in the county, and you are not investigating the case. How can you still be in the mood to drink?
Don't you want me to call the provincial department leader? Okay, as you wish, let's see what your expression will be when you receive a call from the provincial department leader!
After hanging up the phone, Li Lin thought to himself... It seems that these people in the county just need to be beaten. They won’t be afraid unless the stick hits them on the head!
Niu Jianbin threw his phone onto the dining table...
The subordinates present were so frightened that they immediately stopped laughing and stared at Niu Jianbin, not knowing why he suddenly got so angry.
Niu Jianbin sneered and said to everyone, "Li Lin has caused such a big trouble this time. It's hard to say whether he can keep his job. If he doesn't find a way to save his butt from being punished... he still has the mind to come to discuss work with me? Does our Public Security Bureau need an outsider like him to worry about the work? It's really funny!"
When everyone heard that Niu Jianbin was angry because of Li Lin, someone immediately stood up and advised, "Secretary Niu, there is no need to be angry because of him... Don't worry about him, come on, let's continue drinking."
