In the Shannan County Party Committee Office, Li Lin was still urging the County Public Security Bureau to speed up the case and get Tu Ming's men to speak as soon as possible.
The reason why he kept all the cases in Shannan was that he was waiting for the right time to take action.
Furthermore, if the case in Shannan is reported to the Municipal Bureau and Provincial Department, I am afraid those leaders will not dare to make a hasty decision, and then they will miss the opportunity and let that old bastard Tu Ming get away.
Li Lin has thought it through clearly. If he doesn't move, he will be dead. If he moves, he will be killed!
After all, this old guy has tried to take Li Lin's life time and again. Such a cruel person will always be a disaster if he is kept around.
Wu Xiongfei walked into Li Lin's office with an energetic look on his face and reported, "Secretary Li, there is progress."
Li Lin smiled and said, "Tell me, how far has the interrogation progressed?"
Wu Xiongfei said, "At first, this leader named Chen Meng refused to say anything, just like when Liu Changshuo first came in, he was very stubborn. But after he saw Liu Changshuo's testimony...his attitude changed 180 degrees. He must be struggling in his heart now. If we leave him alone for two more days, as long as he is desperate, he will answer anything you ask!"
Li Lin said, "Well done! You have all worked hard during this period. Please express my condolences to the comrades in charge of the interrogation and tell them that I will treat them to a meal after the case is over!"
Wu Xiongfei laughed and said, "If they knew that the county party secretary wanted to invite them to dinner, they would definitely jump for joy! Hahahaha... Don't worry, our comrades in Shannan are all top-notch and very motivated! It's just..."
Li Lin asked, "Just what?"
Wu Xiongfei's face became more serious, and he said with some worry, "Now the murderer behind the scenes is directly pointing to the main leaders of the provincial party committee. Although the news is kept secret for the time being, if we continue to investigate, it will be exposed sooner or later... It's hard to say what the attitude of the provincial department and municipal bureau will be at that time... The most important thing is that the more we investigate, the more leaders will be implicated. The first time they sent people to kidnap you, this time they directly killed you, what about the next time? They are so unscrupulous, I am very worried about your safety!"
Li Lin walked up to Wu Xiongfei, patted him on the shoulder, asked him to sit down, and poured him a cup of tea. He said to him with a serious face, "Xiongfei, some things must be done by someone. If those of us in power choose to endure the pressure from those in high positions and watch them do whatever they want without doing anything, what is the meaning of us being officials? What is the value of such officials? Wouldn't they become the kind of parasites that the people say are just idling around? We are all men of blood. I believe you can understand my feelings. I also believe that no matter what kind of pressure you face, you will not go against your conscience and do something illegal, don't you think?"
Wu Xiongfei's eyes sparkled and he nodded repeatedly, "Secretary, you are right! Absolutely right! My original intention of becoming a policeman is to eliminate violence and protect the people! As long as it is within my authority, I will never allow anyone to trample on the bottom line of the law!"
Li Lin nodded with relief, "Very good! I was right about you! Hurry up and pry open Chen Meng's mouth, put his testimony together with Liu Changshuo's, make the case ironclad, wait for the right opportunity, and we'll hand it over!"
Wu Xiongfei nodded and said, "Okay, I know what to do!"
As Wu Xiongfei turned to leave, Li Lin reminded him, "Remember, you must keep it confidential! If anyone is found to have leaked the information, they will be severely punished!"
Wu Xiongfei nodded firmly.
After he left.
Li Lin received a call from Long Gang.
Li Lin was deeply shocked by what Long Gang said next.
He said calmly but solemnly, "Brother Lin, something happened. Minister Cheng was hit by someone on his way back to the provincial capital from Pingyang!"
Li Lin was so surprised that he jumped up from his chair and asked urgently, "How is Minister Cheng?"
Long Gang said, "Fortunately, I heard that he only suffered a minor head injury and is now being treated at your Pingyang Hospital. Brother Lin, I heard this news from Director Wu. He is now attending a meeting at the Provincial Party Committee with Governor Pei... You only need to know this and you must keep it confidential."
Li Lin nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Let me ask one more question. Has the perpetrator been caught? What exactly happened at the scene?"
Long Gang said, "The perpetrator escaped. The amazing thing is that the Pingyang police and Ningzhou police didn't find any clues. It's like he disappeared out of thin air... I personally think this matter is not simple and it was definitely premeditated, but I'm just guessing..."
Li Lin slammed his fist on the table and said angrily, "Damn it! How dare someone be so bold!"
These were all said to Long Gang. In fact, he already had the answer in his mind. Who else could be the murderer behind the scenes except Tu Ming?
Li Lin cursed in his heart, Tu Ming, you old fox, you actually dared to extend your hand to provincial party committee cadres of the same level... I really underestimated you!
Long Gang reminded him again, "Brother, I know you have a good relationship with Minister Cheng, but the provincial party committee said that this matter must not be spread outside. If you are going to visit Minister Cheng, don't tell him that I told you."
Li Lin nodded and said, "Okay, I know how to explain it."
Hang up the phone.
Li Lin shouted to the outside, "Yupei, prepare the car!"
Zhang Yupei ran over in a panic and asked, "Leader, where are we going?"
Li Lin said, "Go to the First People's Hospital!"
...
Outside the intensive care unit of the Municipal People’s Hospital.
Guo Xuecai, Yang Wanquan and Tian Baoguang were standing and chatting.
Guo Xuecai asked the two of them with some confusion, "Tell me, Minister Cheng came to our Pingyang, where else could he go except to the Municipal Party Committee? And he kept it so secret... If he hadn't had an accident on the highway... I'm afraid none of us would have known he had been here..."
