Chapter 3829
As the Director of the Chanba Sub-bureau, Huang Feng was at the same level as Yang Meixia in terms of rank. And Zhao Desan, now as Deputy District Head, was not much different in rank from Yang Meixia and Huang Feng. Although Huang Feng had been at the sub-bureau for a while, because there were no business dealings in work, Yang Meixia and Zhao Desan hadn't had much contact with him.
Huang Feng asked politely, "Are Deputy District Head Liu and Minister Yang here at our Public Security Bureau for official business or private matters?"
Yang Meixia smiled faintly and said, "Hehe, it can't be called official business, but it can't be called a private matter either. It's just a small matter. Deputy District Head Liu and I are here today because we want to find Director Huang to understand a person's case. This person is named Chen Chong, a rough man. I heard that because he stole and killed someone else's dog, he was arrested by your Public Security Bureau. The meaning of my coming here is to understand the situation of this person, and also to plead for Chen Chong, to see if Director Huang can be accommodating, handle it leniently, and release the person?"
Zhao Desan took over Yang Meixia's words and said politely, "If compensation is needed, we are willing to pay the fine for Chen Chong! I also ask Director Huang to raise your hand high and be accommodating!"
"Oh! So it's this matter. I heard the report from the criminal police team at that time, but I didn't remember the specific details clearly. In this way, I will call the criminal police captain Xiao Wu over to understand the specific situation, and then I will reply to you, okay?" Huang Feng didn't not know the case, but had already known the case like the back of his hand. And he also learned that Zhao Desan was involved in this matter. It's just that Zhao Desan was now the Deputy District Head of Chanba District, and he couldn't do anything to him. Now Zhao Desan had come with Yang Meixia to plead for mercy. Naturally, Huang Feng wouldn't agree to their request so easily.
Yang Meixia said with a smile, "Okay. Then I'll sit here and wait. Director Huang, call Captain Wu over!"
After all, Huang Feng was hindered by the fact that Yang Meixia was a member of the District Committee Standing Committee, and Zhao Desan was a Deputy District Head. Both were people in the officialdom, so this face-saving thing still had to be given. He hurriedly said with a smile, "Okay, then you drink water first. I'll call Xiao Wu to see where he is?" As he spoke, Huang Feng picked up the phone on the table and called the captain of the criminal police team. Fortunately, Captain Wu was not out, and was currently in the office on the fourth floor of the Public Security Bureau.
Huang Feng then said, "Xiao Wu, come to my office first!"
Not long after, Captain Wu came over. When he saw Yang Meixia and Zhao Desan both appearing in Director Huang's office, he immediately greeted the two district leaders with a smile. Although he wasn't too familiar with Yang Meixia, he had had contact with Zhao Desan during the demolition work of Dongxing Fertilizer Plant, and could be considered to have met a few times.
Captain Wu shook Zhao Desan's hand enthusiastically and said, "Hello, District Head Liu. We have met before, at Dongxing Fertilizer Plant. Do you remember? You were the leader of the demolition team responsible for the demolition at that time!"
Zhao Desan said with a smile, "I know, I remember. The demolition work also relied on Captain Wu to help us maintain the order of the scene!"
Captain Wu said with a smile, "It should be, it should be. District Head Liu was also exceptionally promoted because of the smooth demolition work!"
Zhao Desan said with a smile, "I am now the Deputy District Head of Chanba District in charge of urban construction work."
"Then congratulations!" Captain Wu said, "Originally, our criminal police team was just saying that Chen Chong still has some matters, and we need Deputy District Head Liu to cooperate and make a record! We were about to go to the District Government to find you, but I didn't expect District Head Liu to come himself. That's just right. If it's convenient for District Head Liu, stay and cooperate with our Public Security Bureau to make a record?"
Hearing Captain Wu's words, Zhao Desan's face changed slightly. To cover up a little change in his heart, he took a sip of the tea in front of him.
Huang Feng deliberately asked Captain Wu, "Does this involve Deputy District Head Liu?"
Captain Wu said, "It's not a big deal. That Chen Chong who killed the dog once had a fight with Dongxing Fertilizer Plant because of selling fertilizer. According to the people at Dongxing Fertilizer Plant, Deputy District Head Liu also participated in that matter that day. We just want to find Deputy District Head Liu to investigate some of the situation at that time, and there is no other meaning."
Huang Feng nodded while listening to Captain Wu's words. He gave Captain Wu a wink, leaving Zhao Desan and Yang Meixia in the office, while he and Captain Wu went outside to exchange views on Chen Chong's case. Huang Feng's idea was that if this case wasn't very big, he would sell a favor to Yang Meixia. After all, she was the child of a high-ranking official, and he didn't want to offend her easily, so he would just fine them and release the person. After all, it was just killing a dog, not hurting anyone. Huang Feng thought that killing a few dogs was a small matter. Strictly speaking, it didn't need to go through the criminal police team; the police station could just mediate it as a public security case.
Who knew that when Huang Feng stated his idea, Captain Wu reminded Huang Feng, "Director Huang, the dogs that Chen Chong killed are not ordinary dogs. They are Tibetan Mastiffs. Any one of them is worth more than 100,000 yuan, and ten of them would be 500,000 yuan. It can be established as a criminal case. And we all suspect that this Chen Chong still has accomplices in the crime. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him alone to kill ten ferocious Tibetan Mastiffs! But no matter how we interrogate him, using all methods, this Chen Chong just insists that the Tibetan Mastiffs were all killed by him using anesthetics. Therefore, we detained Chen Chong in the detention center just because this Chen Chong is not honest. Director Huang, if you want to make a decision to handle him leniently, you can. I have no opinion. However, you still need to report to Secretary Lu of the Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Committee. The opinion of Secretary Lu on this case is to handle it strictly!"
Huang Feng thought for a while and said, "So the case is so complicated! Okay! I have a count in my heart. You go back and continue to handle the case!"
After sending Captain Wu away, Huang Feng called Lu Tianming, the Secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Committee, and told him about Chen Chong's case of killing dogs. At this time, Lu Tianming was still standing on the same side as Xu Dongxing. He immediately instructed, "For the case of Chen Chong slaughtering ten Tibetan Mastiffs at Dongxing Fertilizer Plant, for the sake of the public security environment of Chanba District, it must be handled strictly. No one is allowed to practice favoritism!"
After receiving Lu Tianming's instructions, Huang Feng had a bottom line in his heart. When he returned to his office and faced Yang Meixia and Zhao Desan again, his attitude took a big turn, becoming serious. He said solemnly, "Deputy District Head Liu, Minister Yang, this case of Chen Chong must be handled strictly! Investigate to the end, no matter who is involved, absolutely no leniency! Because although this case is a public security case, it relates to the public security problem of our Chanba District, and the situation involved is relatively complicated. We will investigate to the end!" After speaking, Huang Feng looked at Zhao Desan and said, "Deputy District Head Liu, since you are here, then trouble you to go to the criminal police squadron on the fourth floor to cooperate with us to make a record. It will delay Deputy District Head Liu for a while, sorry for the trouble!"
Zhao Desan never thought that this Huang Feng would not give face to himself, the newly appointed Deputy District Head. He didn't want to make any record. He didn't expect that he originally wanted to let Yang Meixia come over to plead for mercy. It didn't matter if the person wasn't bailed out, but instead, he implicated himself. It was really terrible!
Zhao Desan smiled and said, "There are still things in the district. I am going to the city immediately. When I come back, I will cooperate with you to make a record!"
Huang Feng also weighed it in his heart. Although the power of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, Lu Tianming, was not great, it was at least the counterpart unit of the Public Security Bureau, and in principle, it was also a superior-subordinate relationship. As the Director of the Sub-bureau, he still had to give the favor of Lu Tianming. By comparison, this District Committee Propaganda Minister Yang Meixia and Deputy District Head Zhao Desan were still inferior compared to Lu Tianming. Of course, he would curry favor with Lu Tianming and suppress Zhao Desan.
After thinking about it, Huang Feng insisted, "Deputy District Head Liu, put the work at hand aside first. It won't delay you for long. Cooperating with our police for investigation is an obligation that every citizen should fulfill. Deputy District Head Liu is a leader and should set a model and leading role!"
Huang Feng no longer took this Propaganda Minister Yang Meixia into his eyes. After all, it was Yang Meixia who led Zhao Desan here. Not even having this bit of face made Yang Meixia feel very uncomfortable. What kind of person was she? In the Municipal Committee compound, when had she ever received such cold treatment? Yang Meixia was so angry that she smashed the teacup heavily on the glass coffee table and said somewhat angrily, "It seems that Director Huang is not giving me this face!"
Although Huang Feng knew Yang Meixia's background, because Lu Tianming was putting pressure on him from above, and he was now at least a leader at the same level as Yang Meixia in the district, he didn't care much about Yang Meixia's feelings. Seeing Yang Meixia actually smashing a teacup in his office, Huang Feng's face immediately darkened. He said with a sunken face, "Minister Yang, it is my duty, I am sorry I cannot release the person!"
Yang Meixia frowned and continued to ask, "Can Zhao Desan leave?"
"No!" Huang Feng insisted, "You must finish recording the statement before you can leave. This is also my duty. If there is any offense or provocation, I ask Deputy District Head Liu to understand!"
Huang Feng then picked up a newspaper and started reading it. Without even looking at Yang Meixia, he said, "Minister Yang, please feel free. District Head Liu, stay and cooperate with us to make a record before leaving!"
A director of a district public security sub-bureau could be considered very impressive in itself, but Yang Meixia's stubbornness immediately angered Huang Feng's dog-eyed look. Her fiery temper exploded instantly. She sternly said to Zhao Desan, "Go! Zhao Desan, let's go back! I want to see who dares to stop us!"
Seeing this, Huang Feng was not only not angered, but sneered and said, "Minister Yang, don't think that just because you are a member of the District Committee Standing Committee, you can run wild in front of our Public Security Bureau Director! When I am in a good mood, I see you as a Propaganda Minister. When I am in a bad mood, you are nothing!"
"Tch!" Yang Meixia gave a heavy "hum" from her nose and also sneered tit-for-tat, "It's the same for me. When I am in a good mood, I see you as a Public Security Bureau Director as a person. When I am in a bad mood, in my eyes, you, the Public Security Bureau Director, are not even worth a fart!"
Yang Meixia's words were even worse than Huang Feng's cold words. They were very ugly. Although there wasn't a single dirty word, it almost reached the point of scolding. A dignified Public Security Sub-bureau Director could be considered a very impressive person in the eyes of ordinary people. When had he ever received such an insult? Huang Feng was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He almost jumped up from his boss chair as if his buttocks were on fire. He held the desk with one hand and pointed at Yang Meixia's neck with the other, sternly saying, "Don't run wild here! I remind you, this is the Public Security Bureau! I can send someone to arrest you immediately!"
