Chapter 615: The 29th Night of the Twelfth Month 3
Deputy County Magistrate Zheng sneered and said, "Of course I know who I am. After all, I am also the deputy county magistrate of Shunyi County Government and a deputy division-level cadre. I would like to remind you, the deputy section chief, that you should maintain the minimum respect when speaking to leading cadres. By the way, I forgot to introduce you to Section Chief Liao and his colleagues from the Shunyi County Public Security Bureau. Oh, Section Chief Liao is the section chief of the Public Security Section of the Shunyi County Public Security Bureau."
Hearing the undisguised threat in Deputy County Magistrate Zheng's tone, the people around him looked at him as if he were a fool. They had no idea where the deputy county magistrate got the courage to say such words. He probably didn't really understand who he was facing, right?
Everyone's judgment was indeed correct. Deputy County Magistrate Zheng received a call from Captain Yao of the Public Security Brigade of the Beijing Municipal Bureau, informing him of the news that Zheng Xiangqian had been arrested.
Captain Yao used to be a comrade-in-arms with Deputy County Magistrate Zheng. When Deputy County Magistrate Zheng used his connections to arrange for his son Zheng Xiangqian to work as a postman at the Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau, he personally brought his son to visit Captain Yao and asked him to help as much as possible when he had problems. As a result, Captain Yao got to know Zheng Xiangqian. Zheng Xiangqian was quite capable and would occasionally visit Captain Yao. After all, Captain Yao was the captain of the Public Security Brigade of the Beijing Municipal Bureau and was a person with certain real power. His father had repeatedly told him to have a good relationship with him.
It was a coincidence that today, when the comrades from the Criminal Investigation Department escorted Zheng Xiangqian and others back to the Municipal Bureau for interrogation, due to the loud noise, Captain Yao watched from afar in his office out of curiosity. Then he saw a familiar face among the criminals being escorted off the car. You know, Zheng Xiangqian had come to his home a few days ago to give him a pig's hind leg as a New Year's gift. How could he not recognize him?
So Captain Yao asked his acquaintances in the Criminal Investigation Department about the case. Unfortunately, Director Wan personally issued a gag order to the investigators in the Criminal Investigation Department, and absolutely no one was allowed to leak the fact that Lin Yu was involved in the case. After all, Lin Yu was now a special adviser to the State Council, deputy secretary and deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, and secretary of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Director Wan was worried that someone would spread rumors and make irresponsible remarks behind his back, so he issued a gag order.
So Captain Yao got the news from an acquaintance in the Criminal Investigation Department, that Chu Hongjun, deputy chief of the Security Section of the Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau, ordered gangsters to intercept the jeep driven by Comrade Su Yu and her fiancé at gunpoint, and they were caught on the spot by the police officers of the Dongzhimen Police Station, and Zheng Xiangqian deliberately instigated Chu Hongjun. It was Zheng Xiangqian who tipped off Chu Hongjun, which led to Chu Hongjun's crazy behavior. Zheng Xiangqian also participated in the identification of Su Yu and her fiancé, and was therefore arrested as an accomplice by the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau.
After Captain Yao learned the news, he immediately called Deputy County Magistrate Zheng of Shunyi County Government.
After learning the news, Deputy County Mayor Zheng immediately sought help from Captain Yao. However, the case was handled directly by Director Bai Wu of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau, and Captain Yao was not sure that he could get the other party to give him face. So he suggested to Deputy County Mayor Zheng that it would be better to convince the victim, Comrade Su Yu, and her fiancé. As long as Su Yu and her fiancé were willing to come forward to the Criminal Investigation Department to exonerate Zheng Xiangqian, he would think of other ways, and he estimated that Zheng Xiangqian should be able to get away smoothly.
Deputy County Magistrate Zheng certainly had some impression of the name Su Yu. His son Zheng Xiangqian had mentioned it many times when he came home, and he wanted to marry her. Originally, Deputy County Magistrate Zheng did not quite agree. He also planned to introduce his son to a child from a leading cadre family who was a good match for him. After all, Su Yu was just an ordinary clerk in the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, and his mother was only the deputy director of the office of the Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau, a deputy section chief.
But he couldn't stand his son's insistence, so he had to agree. Unfortunately, his son was rejected by the other party. While he was relieved, he felt offended. He was the deputy head of Shunyi County Government, a deputy division-level leader. How could the daughter of a deputy section chief reject a leader like him?
After being reminded by Captain Yao of the Municipal Public Security Brigade, Deputy County Magistrate Zheng immediately began his preparations. He knew, of course, that it would be impossible to get Jiang Sufen and her daughter to agree to exonerate their son with empty words. Although he was the deputy county magistrate of Shunyi County, after all, the county magistrate was not as good as the incumbent. Jiang Sufen and her daughter were deputy directors of the office of Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau, and clerks in the Security Department of Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, respectively. As the deputy county magistrate, he was simply out of reach.
So Deputy County Magistrate Zheng immediately prepared some high-end gifts and asked his wife to bring one thousand yuan in cash. In order to ensure that everything went well, Deputy County Magistrate Zheng also asked his former subordinate, Chief Liao, who is now the Chief of the Public Security Section of Shunyi County Public Security Bureau, for help.
Deputy County Magistrate Zheng had no choice but to come here at this time. In the second half of this year, a number of vicious murders occurred in Shunyi County. After such a long period of investigation, the murderer has not been arrested. Even though today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Shunyi County Public Security Bureau is still working overtime. Chief Liao had to wait until he attended the case discussion meeting convened by the director himself before he could leave the Public Security Bureau.
It is said that an emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers. Deputy County Magistrate Zheng had no choice but to invite Chief Liao and his two colleagues to dinner at a restaurant in Shunyi. After eating and drinking, the group got on a jeep from the county government's motorcade and sped towards the courtyard of the family quarters of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau in Dongcheng District, Beijing.
The reason why Deputy County Magistrate Zheng asked Chief Liao and his two colleagues to go along was mainly to give some deterrence to Jiang Sufen and her daughter. After all, as the deputy county magistrate of Shunyi County, he had no control over the other party at all. Deputy County Magistrate Zheng wanted to ask Captain Yao of the Public Security Brigade of the Municipal Bureau to come forward, but unfortunately he was rejected on the spot. Obviously, Captain Yao could help to make connections for the sake of his old comrade-in-arms, but he would never get involved in it personally. Captain Yao knew very well that once he came forward to put pressure on Jiang Sufen and her daughter, the nature of the situation would be completely different. You must know that there is not much else in Beijing, but there are many leading cadres. In Shunyi, you, Deputy County Magistrate Zheng, are a big shot, but in Beijing you can't show up at all. Among the people riding bicycles to and from get off work on the street, there may be directors or deputy directors of some unit. In some units, even deputy department-level leaders may not have special cars, and they have to ride bicycles to and from get off work. Who can guarantee that Jiang Sufen and her daughter will not know other leading cadres?
