Chapter 180 Zhao Lidong is arrested
With Qi Tongwei's previous preparation, Xu Jiang quickly confessed all the criminal facts, including the crimes committed by Zhao Lidong and others.
Not to mention the complicated feelings of Li Xiang and others after they learned that their master Cao Chuang was also an undercover agent, Qi Tongwei immediately said goodbye to Wang Yanhong and others.
Then he did not dare to delay for a moment and returned to Jinghai overnight.
He first took out the account book based on Xu Jiang's confession. By this time it was already around 7 o'clock the next day.
Without taking a rest, Qi Tongwei simply washed up and went straight to report the case to Li Xiaoyu.
If you were to ask who Li Xiaoyu least wanted to see at this time, it would definitely be Qi Tongwei, because he was really worried that Qi Tongwei would bring him another explosive news.
As the saying goes, what you fear will come to you. After learning that Qi Tongwei was here to report the illegal and criminal acts of Zhao Lidong and other leading cadres, Li Xiaoyu instinctively shuddered, and his hands trembled as he took the account books and other evidence.
After flipping through it for a while, Li Xiaoyu asked with a mixture of luck and uncertainty: "Are these all true?"
"It's true." Qi Tongwei's answer broke Li Xiaoyu's lucky mentality and forced him to face the current situation.
Li Xiaoyu was seen walking back and forth in the office with an anxious look on his face, and it seemed that he couldn't make up his mind.
Seeing this, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart. If someone with such level could serve as the secretary of the municipal party committee, he would be more than qualified to be a vice-minister.
However, he still maintained a respectful attitude on the surface and reminded: "Secretary Li, should we ask Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee for instructions and listen to his opinions? After all, this involves provincial cadres."
Hearing this, Li Xiaoyu seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes...I should ask Secretary Li for instructions."
After saying that, he picked up the phone on the table, dialed the number of Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee, and reported Qi Tongwei's investigation results to Secretary Li Baoguo in detail.
During the entire call, Secretary Li Baoguo remained silent and listened attentively.
After Li Xiaoyu finished his report, Secretary Li Baoguo, who had been silent for a moment, finally spoke: "Okay, I understand.
Since the evidence is conclusive, let's launch the arrest operation immediately!
No one on the list should be spared."
After receiving clear instructions from Secretary Li Baoguo, Li Xiaoyu felt relieved. His tense nerves relaxed and his back straightened a lot.
"Secretary Li Baoguo has instructed that we should immediately launch a capture operation and not let any one go," Li Xiaoyu said loudly.
"Yes, Secretary Li." Qi Tongwei saluted Li Xiaoyu. Qi Tongwei did a good job on the surface.
After the ceremony, he quickly stood up and left, ready to take action.
After more than half a year, we can finally close the net!
After returning to the Public Security Bureau, Qi Tongwei first called An Changlin and Guo Wenjian to his office and told them that Xu Jiang had been arrested and confessed, and that the Provincial Public Security Department would directly arrest He Liming.
"That's great!" Guo Wenjian said excitedly.
An Changlin's excitement was beyond words.
“Lao An, take a few people to secretly arrest Zhao Lidong now;
Old Guo, these are the traitors recruited by Xu Jiang and Zhao Lidong. You lead the special police to secretly arrest them, and then lead others to close the net." Qi Tongwei handed the list to Guo Wenjian.
"It's Director Qi." They said in unison.
The police kept the operation secret and deliberately avoided spies. Zhao Lidong had no idea that Xu Jiang had been arrested, let alone that he would confess within five hours of his arrest.
Therefore, when An Changlin knocked on his office door, he thought the other party was here to report on work, and never thought that An Changlin was here to arrest him.
"Secretary Zhao, please come with us." An Changlin said politely.
"Comrade Changlin, what are you doing?" Zhao Lidong seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed drastically, and he spoke tremblingly.
"Secretary Zhao, Xu Jiang has been arrested and has confessed everything. I have been ordered to take you to the Public Security Bureau to cooperate with the investigation. Comrades from the Procuratorate will take over your investigation and disposal work later."
An Changlin's voice sounded very calm, but it carried an unquestionable determination.
When Zhao Lidong heard the news, his face turned pale as paper in an instant. He slumped in the chair as if all his strength had been drained away, staring blankly ahead, unwilling to get up for a long time.
He didn't expect this moment to come so soon.
At the same time, Guo Wenjian's operation was also very smooth. They quickly controlled the target person without encountering any resistance.
After all the suspects were arrested, Qi Tongwei immediately called Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee and reported the entire case in detail, including Chen Tai, who unified the underground world of Jinghai, and his own speculations.
"Tongwei, you must eradicate all evil. I'm afraid you will have to stay in Jinghai for a while longer.
The work of the Political and Legal Committee will be handed over to you, and you must also take down Chen Tai!" Li Baoguo's tone was extremely serious, revealing a firm determination.
Qi Tongwei answered without hesitation: "Yes, Secretary Li!"
Secretary Li then gave Qi Tongwei some instructions, asking him to make sure to handle the aftermath of the case properly. At the same time, the Provincial Procuratorate would send someone to take Zhao Lidong away for investigation.
Qi Tongwei readily agreed. Secretary Li Baoguo's words made him very excited.
In his previous life, he was promoted to deputy director in 2008, and as for the director of the Public Security Department, he was also promoted before Zhao Lichun left.
If he had been promoted to Public Security Director a year or two earlier, he would have been appointed Deputy Governor long ago. Why would he be ridiculed by Li Dakang?
Now that we have just entered the new century, he has been promoted to deputy mayor and police chief at the deputy department level, and Secretary Li has just asked him to take over as secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.
This position is different from the general deputy-department level, but a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.
Qi Tongwei believed that as long as he did not make any mistakes and became a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee before Sha Ruijin, he would definitely do so. He must fight with Sha Ruijin in this life.
Shaking his head to drive away his complicated emotions, Qi Tongwei thought of Chen Tai.
Even if Secretary Li Baoguo didn't say anything, he was not going to let Chen Tai go.
One reason was that he had promised Xu Jiang to do it, and the other reason was naturally his desire for revenge.
Chen Tai was the first opponent who had taken great advantage of him since his rebirth. He would not be happy unless he defeated Chen Tai.
Now is not the time to deal with Chen Tai, Qi Tongwei put aside his thoughts and called Gao Yuliang.
"Teacher Gao, where are you now? I have something to tell you."
"I'm conducting research in the county town below. What's the matter?" Gao Yuliang asked in surprise.
"The case has been solved, Zhao Lidong is going to jail, and the director of the Cultural Bureau, deputy mayor of Qinghua District and others have been implicated. These positions are vacant, so you must make preparations early." Qi Tongwei reminded.
It’s time for their alumni from Handong University to get promoted. The main reason is that the current municipal party secretary is relatively soft and easy to deal with. If he were replaced by a secretary like Li Dakang, he wouldn’t even have to think about personnel matters.
"Okay, I got it. I'll be back in the afternoon. You should also run more and find a way to get Zhao Lidong's position."
Gao Yuliang nodded in understanding, and at the same time reminded Qi Tongwei to work harder and get the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.
"Teacher Gao, Secretary Li of the Provincial Party Committee has just agreed to my request on the phone." Qi Tongwei told the truth and told him that Secretary Li Baoguo had agreed to promote him to the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.
Gao Yuliang was also very happy to hear that Qi Tongwei had got the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. It is also a good story that the master and apprentice are both members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.
