Chapter 348: Against the Media
Fan Jie and others had a clear goal, and they arrested Wang Hongfa as soon as they arrived in Changhe.
Combined with what Fan Jie reported on the road about what Huang Hongzhang, director of the Ningwan City Public Security Bureau, said, Qi Tongwei already understood Qiongzhou's choice.
They were ready to cut the Gordian knot and hand over Wang Hongfa and the protectors behind him to themselves in exchange for the safety of other officials.
Although doing so can send the devil Wang Hongfa to prison or hell as soon as possible, Qi Tongwei's target is not just Wang Hongfa.
He believes that the core issue in Qiongzhou right now is not to solve the problem of Wang Hongfa. If one Wang Hongfa is arrested, there will be another "Wang Hongfa". As long as there is darkness in the government system, people like Wang Hongfa will always exist.
What Qi Tongwei wants to do most is to rectify the political and legal system, solve the problem of evil forces at their root, and eradicate the soil for their existence.
He believes that the main reason why evil forces can rise is the connivance of local public security, procuratorial and judicial departments. If they can enforce the law impartially, there will be no soil for evil forces to exist.
Take Wang Hongfa for example. If the law enforcement agencies had been able to enforce the law impartially when he first committed the crime, the series of cases involving gangs and evil forces that followed would not have happened.
More than 80 percent of the reasons why more than 200,000 people in Changhe live in this kind of environment are due to the inaction and corruption of the public security, procuratorial and judicial departments.
……
"Ducheng, why do you think Huang Hongzhang surrendered himself at this time?" After Fan Jie and others left, Qi Tongwei began to ask Ducheng.
Dudu thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "Is it because of your reputation that he wants to get a chance to be treated leniently?"
Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "You overestimate me. I don't have that much power. To make a city public security bureau chief surrender voluntarily, I think someone must have promised him something."
Qi Tongwei felt that this person held a very high status in the political and legal system of Qiongzhou.
"If Huang Hongzhang surrenders himself, not only will he lose his official position but he will also face imprisonment. This person must have evidence of Huang Hongzhang's illegal activities in order to make him surrender voluntarily." Dudu thought for a while and said.
"Not only that, this person can also protect Huang Hongzhang to the greatest extent possible, such as reducing the amount of corruption. In addition, he can give himself up and make meritorious contributions, so he can be given a light sentence.
Once we leave Qiongzhou, measures such as medical parole will definitely be used.
As long as Huang Hongzhang can keep it secret and handle all the problems, his second half of life will definitely not be bad, and may even be more carefree than now. The only difference is that he will have no real power. "Qi Tongwei said lightly.
Qi Tongwei could basically guess their methods. He had done the same in his previous life. Many people were acquitted under his manipulation.
After his rebirth, Qi Tongwei has reviewed his actions in his previous life many times, and among them, sheltering various criminals is a crime that he cannot wash away.
Although there were reasons for all of this, he did do some wrong things.
Because of Liang Lu, he was shot three times and almost died, but he still couldn't get a chance to be transferred. This incident made him completely evil. After marrying Liang Lu, he only treated her as a tool to climb up.
Because of these things, he felt that fate was unfair, his worldview changed dramatically, and defending his rights became the top priority.
From then on, he became obsessed with the game of power and in order to climb up, he did many evil things that went against his conscience.
As time went on, he became more and more unscrupulous, committed many evil deeds, and harmed the interests of many people.
Later, he fell into the trap set by Sha Ruijin and became a stepping stone for Hou Liangping to become famous. He ended his life by shooting himself.
He had regretted many times for everything he had done in his previous life.
As a farmer's son, he failed to uphold his moral bottom line, and the dragon-slaying boy eventually turned into a dragon.
After his rebirth, Qi Tongwei reminded himself every moment that he must stick to the moral bottom line and never cross the red line.
At the same time, he also could not forget how he ended up on the road to defeat. Everything was caused by his petty willfulness of power.
Therefore, after his rebirth, he vowed to eradicate all the injustice and corruption around him and to take revenge on Liang Lu, Sha Ruijin, Hou Liangping and others.
It would be fine if they were truly honest, Qi Tongwei would just regard all this as the price for his evil deeds in his previous life, but they are not truly honest. On the contrary, they are more greedy than himself.
The reason why he got into trouble was not just because he committed a crime, but more because he came from a farming family and was a sacrificial victim.
After being reborn in this life, Qi Tongwei grasped the Pei family and came to this point today, all in order to greatly eliminate injustice one day.
Of course he knew that this was just wishful thinking, but it was better to do it than to do nothing.
The deputy director of the municipal bureau, who had also climbed up from the grassroots, quickly understood what Qi Tongwei meant and immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Secretary Qi, what should we do next?"
"Don't worry, wait until we hear news from Du Jing and Zhuang Kaizhi.
Also, send people to the prison where Wang Hongfei is imprisoned to ensure his safety and prevent others from taking desperate measures. "Qi Tongwei is worried that someone will attack Wang Hongfa.
Dudu nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Secretary Qi."
The task force acted very quickly. Less than three hours after Wang Hongfa was arrested, they took action again and arrested Wang Jinxiong, director of the Changhe County Public Security Bureau.
The action was swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
Soon after, members of Wang Hongfa's underworld gang were arrested one after another, which caused widespread heated discussion in Changhe County for a while.
Although Wang Hongfa has been imprisoned again, given the circumstances of his last trial, people still have doubts and dare not speak out.
The letter soliciting clues sent by Fan Jie fell on deaf ears, and no real-name reporting clues were received. There were some anonymous ones, but they were not very effective.
Seeing this, Qi Tongwei knew very well that the people's fear of Wang Hongfa was deep-rooted. Only by making them sure that Wang Hongfa no longer posed a threat would people dare to step forward and provide clues to the case.
After much deliberation, Qi Tongwei decided to give everyone an explanation regarding Wang Hongfa's case to reassure everyone.
At the same time, it is also to tell other people in Qiongzhou who have been wronged to come to him and report as soon as possible, and he will take care of it for everyone.
In order to expand his influence, Qi Tongwei specially invited reporters from Tongxun Company to be interviewed by them.
Reporter: "Secretary Qi, could you please say hello to all the netizens?"
Qi Tongwei: "Hello, everyone on the Internet. I am Qi Tongwei."
Reporter: "Secretary Qi, can you tell us the main purpose of your visit to Qiongzhou this time?"
Qi Tongwei said seriously: "Qiongzhou has indeed developed very well in recent years, especially the tourism economy has shown a booming trend.
However, behind this rapid development, many evils are hidden.
My main task in Qiongzhou this time is to strictly supervise the handling of relevant cases and ensure that the people feel fairness and justice in the handling of each case. "
The reporter couldn't wait to ask: "Secretary Qi, can you tell us which specific cases need attention and handling?"
Qi Tongwei frowned and said: "At present, it is a case involving gangs and evil forces in Changhe County, and the suspect Wang Moufa has been successfully arrested.
However, because this person's crimes are extremely heinous and extremely vicious and cruel, many people are afraid and dare not easily come forward to report him, which affects further sentencing.
I can fully understand everyone's worries and concerns.
Here, I solemnly declare: all cases involving criminal gangs will be transferred to neighboring provinces for trial.
At the same time, the central supervision group will participate in the whole process and resolutely put an end to any transactions of power for money.
The evil elements must be punished as they deserve!
In addition, all elements of evil forces will not be granted bail or sentence reduction, and they will be severely punished by law.
Please rest assured, if you have any questions or clues, please feel free to report them to the Central Supervision Group.
We will strictly protect your privacy and ensure your safety.”
After the interview, Qi Tongwei asked Tongxun Company to start promoting the interview on radio and television in order to dispel people's concerns and obtain valuable clues from them.
He had a hunch that as long as he kept a close eye on this case, the dirty deeds of some high-ranking officials in the public security, procuratorial and judicial departments of Qiongzhou would be exposed to the world in the near future.
