Su Xinghui felt a little uncomfortable. He felt that he was like a prisoner being escorted. However, he also knew that this was the duty of the public security personnel, so he cooperated with the two very much.

The entrance of the municipal government office building also had more armed police on duty. No matter who wanted to enter the building, they had to check their ID cards. If they were outsiders, they also had to undergo a simple search, which made Su Xinghui frown. He felt that this would cause panic. However, the staff on the scene said this was Secretary Zhao's meaning, and other city leaders also agreed to do so. Su Xinghui could only default to this practice.

Su Xinghui knew that the city leaders must be a little afraid now, afraid that this gunman would come to the office building and threaten their lives, so doing this could make them feel at ease. This was also something that couldn't be helped.

If they wanted to eliminate this panic, they could only hope that the Public Security Bureau would catch this gunman as soon as possible.

As soon as it was time for work, Zhao Yichen presided over the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee meeting. Even Xing Guodong, the Secretary of the Yinshan County Party Committee and a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, came to the city by car early in the morning to attend this Standing Committee meeting.

Zhao Yichen asked Gu Aimin to report the case of the shooting last night. Some of the standing committee members at the scene already knew about this matter, and some did not. Now that they heard such a shocking incident, they were all filled with righteous indignation and unanimously denounced this as a serious political incident.

After reporting the case last night, Gu Aimin reported the progress of the case. The criminal investigation detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau had conducted ballistic analysis on the bullet heads found at the scene and had applied to the Ministry of Public Security for ballistic comparison nationwide.

The footprints left by the gunman were also analyzed. It could be concluded that the gunman was about 1.65 meters tall, weighed about 60 kilograms, should be a male, and was about 30 years old. This gunman was very cautious and had anti-reconnaissance experience because there were no other traces left at the scene except for two bullet heads and footprints.

After the shooting failed, the gunman fled along the sidewalk and ran to a market. The footprints in the market were intricate, and coupled with the heavy snow that kept falling, the footprints left by the gunman could no longer be identified, so the gunman's whereabouts had disappeared and could not be traced.

However, last night, the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the armed police cooperated to monitor all roads out of Baozhou City and also monitored the railway station, focusing on those males who were about 1.65 meters tall, relatively thin, and about 30 years old, especially outsiders.

Although the gunman weighed 60 kilograms, considering that it was winter, the clothes on his body were relatively thick, and he might also be carrying other things, so his weight was at most a little over 50 kilograms, which was a relatively thin body type.

In short, the characteristics of this gunman were already relatively obvious. Under such tight monitoring, it was not an easy thing for him to escape from Baozhou.

Now due to the heavy snow, the number of passenger cars entering and leaving Baozhou had decreased, so the workload of monitoring had also decreased.

In addition, according to Ren Weidong's estimation, this gunman might not necessarily leave Baozhou because he was a very professional killer who should have received someone else's commission to come to Baozhou to attack Su Xinghui. Now that his mission was not completed, he was very likely to stay in Baozhou and continue to carry out his mission.

Therefore, in this case, it was still very possible to catch this gunman. However, this was also very dangerous for Su Xinghui. Therefore, protection for Su Xinghui still needed to continue during this period.

The situation introduced by Gu Aimin made the standing committee members attending the meeting a little nervous. They were all high-ranking cadres with high power and rarely faced such scenes. No matter what kind of power, it was fragile when facing violence. Therefore, they expressed their opinions one after another, hoping that the Municipal Public Security Bureau could catch this gunman as soon as possible.

This put a lot of pressure on Gu Aimin. He said he would definitely do his best to catch the gunman as soon as possible.

Zhao Yichen spoke again. He said that last night, the new Provincial Party Secretary, Comrade Wu Jianbai, learned that a shooting case had occurred in Baozhou City, so he called him, expressed concern about this case, and expressed condolences to Comrade Su Xinghui on the phone. Secretary Wu also instructed that they must do their best to solve the case as soon as possible.

Zhao Yichen said that in order not to cause panic in the whole city, this shooting incident should not be publicized. The case should be solved under the premise of confidentiality. The standing committee members present should also abide by the confidentiality regulations and not tell others about this case.

This was also thanks to the heavy snow now. There were no pedestrians on the street last night, so the ordinary people had not heard anything about this case, which also reduced a lot of difficulty for the confidentiality work.

After the Standing Committee meeting, Yin Zhe told Su Xinghui that Lu Xiaoya had called him. However, he was in a meeting just now, so Yin Zhe answered the phone. He said he would let Su Xinghui call Lu Xiaoya back after the meeting.

Su Xinghui returned to his office and called Lu Xiaoya back. The phone rang almost only once before it was answered by Lu Xiaoya. The first sentence she asked after answering the phone was: "Xinghui, how are you now? Are you okay?"

Hearing Lu Xiaoya's urgent voice, Su Xinghui felt a warmth in his heart. He said: "Xiaoya, don't worry, I'm fine."

Lu Xiaoya said: "Then why didn't you call to tell me that something happened last night?"

Su Xinghui said: "It was late last night. If I called to tell you, would you be able to sleep at night?"

Lu Xiaoya said: "That doesn't mean you shouldn't tell me. You are my husband. If you have anything, you must tell me."

Su Xinghui said: "I know, but didn't you know it now?"

Lu Xiaoya said: "I only knew it today. Dad called me today and told me."

Su Xinghui said: "Xiaoya, I'm fine, don't worry. Is everything okay at home? They don't know, right?"

Su Xinghui was asking about his parents and Niu Niu and the others. He didn't want them to know about this matter.

Lu Xiaoya said: "They don't know, I didn't tell them."

Su Xinghui said: "That's good, don't tell them. It will be New Year's Day in a few days. I originally planned to go back to Beijing, but now that the gunman hasn't been caught, I can't go back for the time being. You tell the family that I am busy with work and have something to do, so I can't go back."

Lu Xiaoya said: "Then I will go to Baozhou to see you?"

Su Xinghui said: "Don't come. Now I have several public security personnel protecting me personally at any time. It's inconvenient for you to come, and it's not safe. Just let me be here alone."

Lu Xiaoya also knew that Su Xinghui's words made sense. Although she was very worried about Su Xinghui, she still obediently said: "Okay, then you must be careful."

Su Xinghui said: "I know, you should be careful too."

After hanging up the phone, Su Xinghui felt a warmth of being cared for in his heart. Now it was an eventful time. The SARS outbreak in Yuedong, and the time for the SARS outbreak in Beijing was not far away. He was very worried about Lu Zhenghong and his family. Now he was also attacked by a gunman. It was really things happening all at once.

Once he thought of this, he had an inexplicable irritability. Who was this gunman hired by? If he knew, he would definitely not let this guy go.

Su Xinghui also gave birth to a sense of vigilance. His family should also be careful. What if the guy who hired the gunman found someone else to hurt his family?

Su Xinghui called Yu Ruizhi and told him his worries. After Yu Ruizhi heard it, he told him not to worry. He would immediately send someone to secretly protect Su Xinghui's family. As long as he was there, he could protect Su Xinghui's family.

Yu Ruizhi said this, and Su Xinghui felt relieved. Yu Ruizhi had always been very reliable in doing things, and with his strength, it should not be a problem to protect anyone in Beijing.

The safety of his family was guaranteed, and Su Xinghui had no worries. With three public security personnel protecting him, he was also very relieved about his own safety.
