Chapter 342 Punishment
He Feng walked into his spacious and bright office with steady steps, then waved his hand gently and signaled to Zhao Lei who was following closely behind him: "Captain Zhao, please close the office door."
Zhao Lei nodded in understanding, turned around and quickly closed the heavy wooden door, and turned the door lock with a crisp "click".
Zhao Lei knew that the director was going to criticize him, but he was indeed wrong in this matter, and he would not say much even if he was punished.
After everything was ready, He Feng slowly sat down on the large and comfortable office chair, leaned back slightly, adjusted to a relatively relaxed posture, then looked calmly at Zhao Lei standing in front of him, and asked softly: "Captain Zhao, has anything special happened in the bureau during this period of time?"
Although He Feng's injuries had healed a little, he still felt a little painful after walking for such a long time. After all, this was the Public Security Bureau, and he couldn't just lie down and rest.
Zhao Lei straightened his back and began to talk about the various cases he had handled recently with a serious expression. He described the process and results of each case in a clear and detailed manner. At this moment, a rhythmic knock on the door suddenly sounded, breaking the original quiet atmosphere in the room.
"Director, this is Zheng Qiang." A loud voice came from outside the door.
He Feng nodded and responded, "Director Zheng, please come in."
As the door opened again, Zheng Qiang walked in with a smile on his face. He looked He Feng up and down with concern, and then said, "Director, why don't you stay at home and rest for a few more days? Health is the capital of revolution!"
He Feng gently waved his hands, shook his head and said: "My injuries are basically healed, Director Zheng, there is no need to worry too much. But there is one thing that I am quite concerned about right now - how did this matter about Li Ai spread?" After saying that, his sharp eyes stared at Zhao Lei.
Zhao Lei did not dare to be negligent and quickly recounted the whole incident without reservation. It turned out that the source of the leak was actually one of his team members.
This team member drank a few glasses of wine at a party not long ago. He lost his vigilance and self-control for a moment and leaked the news that Li Ai had passed away.
Although Zhao Lei investigated those people in time, it was a party after all, and people were coming and going in the restaurant, so the news spread.
After listening to Zhao Lei's report, He Feng looked at Zhao Lei with a stern look, "Captain Zhao, what kind of punishment did you take for that person who violated the discipline?"
Zhao Lei, who knew that this matter was of great importance, quickly replied: "Director, the man is currently being held in the solitary confinement room, waiting for you to return and personally make further punishment decisions."
You know, the traitor was almost unable to hold back and took action, but after hearing what he said, he definitely wouldn't do it. Didn't this completely ruin He Feng's plan?
He Feng stared at Zhao Lei closely, knowing clearly that the matter had been exposed, but he still felt it necessary to say it out loud: "Okay, no matter what position it is, just erase it from my hands, but there's no need to fire them." After saying this, He Feng secretly pondered the situation he might face next.
He Feng also asked Zhao Lei to investigate him thoroughly. After all, it is still unknown whether he spread the matter deliberately.
If it was unintentional, it would be fine, but if it was spread intentionally, then we must grasp this line well, and He Feng also has his own plans.
Zhao Lei nodded silently, indicating that he understood that begging for mercy at this moment was not a wise move, so he chose to keep his lips shut and said nothing.
At this time, He Feng turned his gaze to Zheng Qiang and asked seriously, "Director Zheng, how is the progress of the matter I asked you to investigate before?"
Zheng Qiang met He Feng's gaze and answered truthfully: "Director, we have carried out the investigation in full accordance with your instructions, but unfortunately, we have found nothing so far."
Hearing this result, He Feng could not help but nod slightly, secretly sighing that Ma Xin was hiding something beyond imagination. In fact, he had originally proposed this investigation as a stopgap measure, and he did not expect to find out anything substantial.
Seeing He Feng remained silent, Zheng Qiang cautiously asked, "Then Director, should we continue to follow?"
He Feng nodded without hesitation and said firmly: "Keep investigating! Don't give up easily."
The reason why He Feng continued to investigate was because Ma Xin was too calm. He Feng believed that things would turn around when they reached their extreme point, so there must be something going on here.
After receiving the clear instructions, Zheng Qiang quickly responded: "Director, please rest assured that I will do my best to complete the task."
Then, He Feng turned his attention back to Zhao Lei and asked again: "Captain Zhao, did you find any clues about the guy who dared to attack me?"
Zhao Lei shook his head helplessly and responded, "Director, I conducted the relevant investigation strictly according to your instructions, but the evidence you provided was too simple and we did not find the murderer."
He Feng nodded. Actually, He Feng just asked casually. After all, He Feng knew Chu Fei's abilities very well. If he was caught by them so easily, he should not do this job anymore.
He Feng assigned tasks to Zhao Lei and the others and told them to go down. After all, it would be a bit painful after sitting for a long time.
Zhao Lei and Zheng Qiang went downstairs. Zhao Lei still couldn't understand why Ma Xin was followed, but he didn't ask anything.
The reason why He Feng demoted the guy who talked nonsense but didn't fire him was to test him and see what he would do in this situation. This is the real thing.
When He Feng was strolling in his office, there was a knock on the door: "Who is it? Come in."
Ma Xin came in. He Feng wanted to sit back on the chair, but he slipped and fell.
He Feng wanted to get up, but was seen by Ma Xin, so Ma Xin ran over in a hurry: "Director, what's wrong with you?"
He Feng didn't expect that he would be seen by Ma Xin when he fell, so he smiled and said, "I just wanted to get up and take a walk, but I didn't know that I would fall down before I could stand. You made a fool of me."
As he said this, he stood up by himself.
