Chapter 1247

The office went quiet. That old man still didn't quite believe it: "Really?"

Yue Jiaqiang was very helpless: "You are my old leader, and everyone present is my senior. How much courage would I have to lie to you?

Moreover, I am the deputy leader of the special investigation team. The other deputy leader is Vice President Wang of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and the leader is Minister Zhou of the Discipline Inspection Commission."

Yue Jiaqiang's words made the old men present freeze, and their expressions changed immediately.

"The leader is Zhou Hongwen?" an old man asked somewhat uncertainly.

"Yes!" Yue Jiaqiang nodded solemnly.

The old men looked at each other, said nothing, and turned to leave.

That old leader reached the door, suddenly stopped, wanting to ask something, but in the end, he didn't ask.

Yue Jiaqiang and Wang Minyi serving as deputy leaders, and Zhou Hongwen serving as the leader—this level was too high.

It seems the central authority's target is not a small Dingnan, nor Ganzhou, but Ganjiang Province.

The old men walked out of the office building silently, pushing their bicycles toward the main gate.

"Ganjiang is going to have a major earthquake."

Walking to the gate, an old man suddenly said.

Everyone understood in their hearts that this level of investigation team had a very clear target, and that was the Fan family.

Shaoguan Municipal Bureau!

Duan Mingwei was dressed neatly, checking the gun in his hand, when the phone rang. He reached out and picked it up.

Not knowing what the other party said, Duan Mingwei stood at attention: "Yes, please rest assured, leader, I guarantee to complete the mission."

"Clap!"

Duan Mingwei put down the phone, walked out quickly, and then left the office building.

At this time, the Criminal Police Team and the SWAT Team had already assembled, but they didn't know the mission yet.

"Everyone knows about the Dingnan case, right?"

"We know!" Criminal Police Detachment Captain Zheng Li said: "Didn't Ganjiang establish a special investigation team?"

Duan Mingwei said: "I received orders that the central special investigation team will arrive tomorrow, and for the Dingnan case, we are to use police from another jurisdiction and conduct investigations in another jurisdiction."

Everyone was stunned. Zheng Li said: "In other words, the special investigation team sent down by Ganjiang is to cooperate with us?"

"Whether they cooperate or not doesn't matter, just don't cause us trouble, damn it." Duan Mingwei then waved his hand: "Get in the cars!"

"Director Duan!" Zheng Li walked over: "The central special investigation team hasn't arrived yet. If we go over in advance, I'm afraid..."

Duan Mingwei smiled: "The order I received is to keep Wang Bowen and his accomplices under control to avoid any accidents."

Zheng Li understood. The higher-ups were afraid that some people would become desperate and kill Wang Bowen and his accomplices, which would cause great trouble for the investigation work.

Ganjiang Province, No. 1 Compound!

After the meeting, Wang Hongmin returned to his office. Originally, there were several documents to approve.

But he had been restless and unable to calm down, always feeling that something was about to happen.

"Clap!"

Wang Hongmin closed the documents, picked up a cigarette from the desk, lit it, and took a deep drag.

Although he was over fifty, he had always been energetic, but at this moment, he suddenly felt very exhausted.

He leaned back in his chair, one hand holding the cigarette, the other rubbing his head.

"The provincial special investigation team has already gone down. Even if the higher-ups have opinions, they can't intervene anymore, right?"

"Ding-a-ling..."

The phone on the desk suddenly rang. Wang Hongmin's eyelid twitched, and he reached out to grab the phone.

"I am Wang Hongmin!"

With a 'swoosh', Wang Hongmin stood up, his face changing.

"I know, okay..."

Wang Hongmin's hand holding the phone felt a bit weak. With a 'clatter', the receiver fell onto the desk.

This gave him a jolt. He picked up the receiver, put it back on the phone, and then took a deep breath.

Immediately after, he grabbed the phone again and quickly dialed a string of numbers.

Soon, Fan Liangjun's voice came through the receiver: "Secretary!"

Wang Hongmin said: "Comrade Liangjun, I just received a call from the higher-ups."

Fan Liangjun was startled: "A call from the higher-ups?"

"Yes!" Wang Hongmin was silent for a moment: "The Dingnan case has too much influence, and it's not just public opinion; many old cadres are demanding that the central authority must establish an investigation team.

After the central authority met and studied it, they decided to establish a special investigation team and use police from another jurisdiction to conduct the investigation in another jurisdiction."

After a long while, Fan Liangjun asked: "Who are the leader and deputy leader of the special investigation team?"

"Not clear yet." Wang Hongmin's voice became very heavy: "I feel something is not quite right. Do you want to go to the capital for a trip?"

Fan Liangjun pondered for a moment: "Wait, let's see the situation, and then we'll talk."

"That works too." Wang Hongmin said: "The situation is not clear yet, it's good to see how things develop."

Fan Liangjun asked: "Since the higher-ups are sending a special investigation team down, and also using police from another jurisdiction to conduct the investigation in another jurisdiction, did they not ask us to withdraw our special investigation team?"

Wang Hongmin said: "That hasn't happened, they just asked us to notify the special investigation team to cooperate well with the work from above."

Fan Liangjun let out a long breath: "Since the higher-ups didn't ask us to withdraw our people, it proves that this matter is not too serious yet."

"I hope so." Wang Hongmin didn't say anything else and hung up the phone.

But his heart was still restless, which made his brows knit together.

……………………

Ganzhou, Municipal Government Compound!

It was full of cars with Nanhong City license plates, including sedans, SUVs, vans, and police cars.

Li Xingquan was shaking hands with a middle-aged man around forty: "Director Zhao, I really didn't expect you to lead the team down."

This middle-aged man was the leader of the provincial special investigation team, Zhao Fengkui, who was the director of the First Office of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission.

"Mayor Li, this is the deputy leader, Director Tao Wei of the Provincial Department's Criminal Investigation Bureau!"

Li Xingquan shook hands with Tao Wei again: "Thank you for your hard work."

Tao Wei wore glasses and looked to be only thirty-five or thirty-six: "Mayor Li, you are too polite. This is all my duty, it's only right."

Li Xingquan smiled and said: "It's almost noon, I've already prepared the meal. Let's eat before going down."

Zhao Fengkui agreed without thinking. The Dingnan case had already formed public opinion, and a batch of people would definitely have to be dealt with, otherwise, there would be no way to explain it.

However, how to deal with it and who to deal with still required asking for Li Xingquan's opinion. Because this opportunity to sell a favor was a once-in-a-century occurrence, how could he miss it? Therefore, he had to eat this meal.

The smile on Li Xingquan's face had not disappeared. Zhao Fengkui accepting his invitation already indicated his attitude, and indirectly showed that the province did not want to expand the scope.

They didn't go to the guesthouse but arranged it in the municipal government cafeteria. The special investigation team, including Li Xingquan and some municipal leaders, sat at four tables.

"Mayor Li, the Dingnan case has had a very bad influence, and a batch of people must be dealt with. Do you have any opinions?"
