"Comrades, let me tell you my opinion!" Lu Da, secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, was already furious at this time, but he still suppressed his anger, but his tone of voice was rather sharp.
"I believe that the investigation into this case must be reopened. As some comrades have said, we must keep the overall situation in mind and not waste manpower and financial resources on a single incident or case in the past.
I don't think so. What we spend is the people's tax money. Even if it is just one case, social fairness is built up by one case at a time!
Furthermore, no one person or department is a god who can make the final decision and guarantee that what they do is 100% correct.
I dare not say that this case is absolutely a wrongful conviction, but the families of Zhou Canming and Chen Xinquan have been appealing everywhere for three years. Based on this alone, this case must be reopened for investigation;
If it's a wrongful conviction, we should give the person the benefit of the doubt. If it's a proven, ironclad case, we should convince people!"
"I disagree with Comrade Lu Da's opinion. After all, this case happened three years ago. If our municipal party committee takes the lead in initiating this case, it will cause social instability!
The first and second trials back then had the same result, and the retrial now might also have the same result, so why do this useless work?
If a retrial of this case is truly underway, it should be independently conducted by the Lingjiang County Judicial Department, which should investigate and collect evidence. There is no need for our city to intervene!"
As soon as Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary Lu Da finished speaking, United Front Work Department Minister Ran Fan immediately jumped out to voice his opposition!
"What's going on? It seems even more intense than the last Standing Committee meeting!" Feng Yuxing was a little confused. "Let's see what happens next!"
I fully support Minister Ran's opinion. This case has been shelved for over three years, and it does seem somewhat inappropriate to bring it up again now.
As we all know, as time passes, evidence may no longer be conclusive, requiring considerable time and effort to re-investigate and collect evidence. However, this is not impossible to accomplish in a short period of time.
For this case, if we decide to proceed with it, it would be best to hand it over to the local government with jurisdiction, which is Lingjiang County. This is the most appropriate choice.
Doing so can avoid raising questions about our interference in local affairs. On the other hand, we can still closely monitor the progress of the case and ensure that we are in control.
This can not only maintain the seriousness of the law, but also ensure work efficiency and credibility, which can be said to be a strategy that kills two birds with one stone.
As expected of the Minister of Propaganda, she had a good grasp of the rhythm of her speech. She immediately followed Ran Fan's words and took it a step further!
"To seize the initiative! To guide the case in the direction of being handled independently by the Lingjiang County Judicial Department! That is their goal!" Feng Yuxing cheered for them in their hearts.
As soon as Propaganda Minister Song Jiajia finished speaking, Feng Yuxing was surprised to find that the person who took up her topic was actually the Minister of People's Armed Forces Yuan Shumeng.
"My personal opinion is that the Lingjiang County Judicial Department should independently investigate this controversial case!
Three years ago, I believed that with so many departments involved, it would be impossible for them to all speak with one voice to frame two people for a few acres of land! We can't make a mountain out of a molehill and let the Lingjiang County judicial department handle the matter. We can also attack and defend!"
Yuan Shumeng is a soldier after all, and his way of speaking is also unique, but at this time, in the face of justice, his attitude is worth pondering.
Although the speech of Minister of the People's Armed Forces Yuan Shumeng was brief, it had already made his attitude clear. In terms of political power, it further tilted towards Lao Xiyun, and the political ecology of Xiyun was also fully revealed.
Feng Yuxing had to re-examine the political ecology of Xiyun City.
As the municipal party committee's chief steward, Duan Wu, the municipal party committee's secretary-general, would not be so obvious and directly stand on Lao Xiyun's side, but he would not dare to offend this group of Lao Xiyun.
You must know that Lao Xiyun's political factors are not limited to the people on the Standing Committee. The cadres outside who are not members of the Standing Committee are not much less influential than these members of the Standing Committee, because most of them are at the executive level and can easily grasp the direction of events. There are some things that "the county magistrate is not as good as the current one."
Organization Minister Zong Daixiang should stand on the side of Municipal Party Secretary Yan Baiyang, somewhat reluctantly, and only provide one vote of support at the regular meeting. In other matters, his help is minimal.
Now, in the Standing Committee vote, the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Yan Baiyang and Mayor Qiu Shangzhi joined together, plus the Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary Lu Da, Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Xing Pengming, Organization Minister Zong Daixiang and Feng Yuxing, which means there are six votes.
You know, the number of standing committee members is usually an odd number, but the Xiyun Municipal Party Committee has twelve standing committee members, an even number! That means six votes in favor, which is a tie. And the tie was achieved with the joint efforts of the municipal party secretary and the mayor, which means defeat.
"Why does Xiyun City only have twelve standing committee members? It seems that the recommended candidates were rejected by the Provincial Party Committee!" Feng Yuxing kept making various inferences in his mind.
really.
The next speakers were Duan Wu, secretary general of the municipal party committee, and Zong Daixiang, head of the organization department. Both speeches were neutral. Compared with Duan Wu, Zong Daixiang was slightly more supportive of Xing Pengming, secretary of the discipline inspection commission, but not significantly.
"Comrades! The reason why I brought this case to the Standing Committee for discussion and released it first is mainly based on two points:
First, during the open and secret inquiries conducted by our Discipline Inspection Commission, many ordinary people spoke out for the injustice done to these two people; second, after serious discussion by our Discipline Inspection Commission, this case was found to be quite typical and particularly representative.
I personally suggest that the investigation of this case be reopened, with the city taking the lead!"
Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Xing Pengming once again stressed the need for a comprehensive and in-depth investigation into this case.
This time he spoke more firmly and seriously.
He believes that judging from the clues currently available, there are many doubts in this case. These doubts are not as simple as they appear on the surface, and there may be deeper problems hidden behind them.
Therefore, he believes it is necessary to invest more manpower and material resources to uncover the mystery and restore the truth of the incident.
Only in this way can the public see the true face of the matter and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and speculations. At the same time, it can also ensure that those responsible receive due treatment and maintain social justice and fairness.
However, he did not express his inner doubts and concerns. After all, facing so many opposing voices, if he raised these questions now, it might cause more controversy or even contradictions.
Therefore, he decided to remain silent and keep some unknown secrets for future use.
This way, even if something unexpected happens in the future or action is required, he will be able to be prepared and respond accordingly.
