Chapter 3237
This was Ren Weidong's estimation because he felt that the gunman was an old hand and was quite professional in this regard. It was very likely that he would flee a thousand miles away after one shot failed. He would not stay here waiting for the police after there was no hope of success. He knew Su Xinghui's identity, and since the first shot did not hit, he would definitely call the police.
The police nodded, and then according to Ren Weidong's words, they searched the scene carefully. Although Ren Weidong estimated that the gunman had already left, they still protected each other and moved carefully.
After about half an hour of searching, the police confirmed that there was no one at the scene. The only traces they found were two bullet heads. These two bullet heads were fired from a Type 54 pistol. In addition, there were some footprints. Technical personnel had already arrived at the scene to identify and compare these traces.
A police car sent Su Xinghui back to his home. At this time, Zhao Yichen, Wei Ziming, Gu Aimin, Xin Jing, and other municipal leaders also heard the news and came. They were all very shocked by this shooting case.
Zhao Yichen asked: "Comrade Xinghui, do you know what kind of person did it?"
Su Xinghui smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't see it at all. It was snowing heavily at the time, and we were not mentally prepared, so we couldn't see anything. It was Ren Weidong who pushed me away, so you could see me!"
Zhao Yichen said very angrily: "How can this be? Such a thing actually happened on the ground of Baozhou. The gunman attacked our municipal leaders. Who else can have a sense of security? Comrade Aimin, you have to give me an explanation, and you must handle this matter properly!"
Zhao Yichen had never had a very good impression of Gu Aimin. Today, he could be considered to be making a fuss about this matter.
Gu Aimin said: "Secretary Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to let the Public Security Bureau solve this case. But to tell the truth, the public security in Baozhou City is still quite good now. This shooting case is also accidental."
Zhao Yichen's face was very ugly. He said: "If the public security is good, a shooting case still happens. What if the public security is bad? A gunfight on the street? Wouldn't that become a Hong Kong police and gangster movie? Who among the city leaders can feel at ease? Today they shot Mayor Su, and tomorrow they might be aiming at me."
Gu Aimin was speechless, and he really had nothing to say.
Su Xinghui said: "Secretary Zhao, the public security in Baozhou is indeed quite good now. This shooting case is indeed accidental. Such a professional gunman doesn't commit crimes usually. I estimate that he came from another place, so this really can't be blamed on the comrades of the Baozhou Public Security System."
Su Xinghui spoke for Gu Aimin, and Zhao Yichen's face looked better. He said to Gu Aimin: "Comrade Aimin, in short, you must solve this case as soon as possible and come up with practical and effective measures to ensure the safety of the city leaders."
Gu Aimin nodded and agreed. He was still very grateful to Su Xinghui for speaking for him.
Su Xinghui spoke for him, also because he did not want all the efforts of the Baozhou Public Security Bureau during this period to be wiped out. This shooting case was indeed accidental and not the norm in Baozhou. It could not be elevated to a higher level just because the person attacked was a city leader.
Wei Ziming and Xin Jing also asked Su Xinghui with concern. Su Xinghui could see a kind of anxiety and worry in Xin Jing's beautiful eyes. He knew that Xin Jing was worried about him. He tried to relax and said that he was fine and asked everyone not to worry.
Zhao Yichen and the others sat for a while and then said goodbye. Gu Aimin still had to go to arrange the investigation of the gunman overnight. In addition, he also had to arrange the protection work for Su Xinghui and other city leaders.
Although Su Xinghui felt that there was no need to implement protection for him, he also knew that after such a thing happened, it was basically impossible not to provide him with personal protection. So, he didn't say anything.
Therefore, that night, the Municipal Public Security Bureau sent three people to Su Xinghui's home to protect him personally. In addition to these three people, how many open and secret sentries were there in the municipal government compound, that was unknown.
According to Ren Weidong, the gunman was very professional, so everyone was facing a formidable enemy.
Ren Weidong said that of course he saw the light reflected from the streetlights. He was very sensitive to the reflection on this kind of gun body, so he discovered the existence of the gunman in advance, but he didn't see the gunman.
Therefore, this was a mysterious opponent. Before catching him, no one dared to be careless.
At night, the three public security personnel sent to protect Su Xinghui personally stayed in the living room, and one stayed in Su Xinghui's room, which made Su Xinghui very uncomfortable. But Gu Aimin insisted on such an arrangement, otherwise he would not give up. If something happened to Su Xinghui, then Gu Aimin would definitely be unlucky.
Su Xinghui arranged bedding for the three public security personnel and asked them to rest at night. However, all three of them said no need. They would guard Su Xinghui all night. Anyway, they could rest during the day. This was the task arranged by Director Gu, and they must complete it.
Su Xinghui had to let them be. He lay on the bed, but he couldn't sleep at all. This was not because there was another person in his room. Su Xinghui was not so delicate. He had slept soundly in a tent with more than a dozen people when he was fighting floods.
He was thinking, who could have sent the gunman to deal with him? But he couldn't figure it out for a long time because he had offended too many people, and many people had such motives, such as the Tian brothers, Shen Zhongtian, You Jiayu, Cheng Huangong, and many others whose names he didn't remember now.
The downfall or bad luck of those people was all because of Su Xinghui. It would be strange if they didn't hate Su Xinghui. But who would do such an extreme thing, Su Xinghui couldn't think of it for a while.
You know, this was a matter with great risk. If the gunman failed the attack and was caught, and confessed the mastermind, then the mastermind would be finished.
In a political structure like China, whoever dared to launch such an attack on a high-ranking cadre like Su Xinghui, then everyone would not tolerate him. The mastermind, together with his family, would face a storm-like blow.
Su Xinghui hadn't fallen asleep yet when his phone rang. Su Xinghui answered the phone. It turned out to be Lu Zhenghong. The first sentence Lu Zhenghong said was to ask him: "Xinghui, are you okay?"
Su Xinghui knew that Lu Zhenghong knew about this matter. But this was also very normal. Such a big thing happened, Zhao Yichen naturally dared not conceal it. He would definitely report it to the above, and Lu Zhenghong was naturally one of the people qualified to know about this matter.
Su Xinghui felt Lu Zhenghong's anger and concern. He quickly said: "Dad, I'm fine, don't worry."
Lu Zhenghong said: "Are you really okay? Do you know who did it now?"
Su Xinghui said: "I'm really fine. I don't know who did it yet. However, the Public Security Bureau is doing its best to solve the case, and they have also sent people to protect me personally."
After hearing Su Xinghui's words, Lu Zhenghong felt slightly relieved. He exhorted Su Xinghui a few more words. Su Xinghui originally had many things to ask Lu Zhenghong, but now there were people protecting him personally, so it was inconvenient for him to say these things. So, after saying a few words, Lu Zhenghong hung up the phone.
