Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 446 Action

At the end of July, the weather cleared up one after another, and the sunny days in a row reduced the pressure of flood prevention sharply.

Although the south is still suffering from floods, the overall situation in Handong has improved.

Vice Director Zhong ended the inspection trip after highly praising Handong’s development and flood prevention work.

Without the pressure of flood prevention and reception, Qi Tongwei freed up his hands and began to fight back, laying the groundwork for the subsequent investigation.

On August 4, Qi Tongwei convened a Standing Committee meeting to discuss personnel changes.

The first thing was to set up a petition office and transfer Guo Lei to be the director of the office.

This was followed by various personnel changes.

The county public security bureau also launched a secret operation and secretly arrested Guo Daguo when he entered the county town to purchase goods.

...

The lights in the interrogation room of the County Public Security Bureau were dim, and an interrogation light illuminated Guo Daguo's face.

Chen Xin spit out a long, spicy mouthful, tapping his fingers on the table, breaking the quiet darkness, "Guo Daguo, do you know why we arrested you?"

Facing the so-called "iron-faced" director, Guo Daguo lost his usual arrogance and cried out in injustice, "Director Chen, I only accepted some illegal taxis. You don't have to come and interrogate me personally. Besides, I'm not the only one in Jiangchang County who accepts illegal taxis."

"Illegal taxi?" Chen Xin snorted coldly. "Let me ask you, where were you on the night of July 20th?"

Guo Daguo's whole body trembled. Anyone whose secret was revealed would be frightened. His shocked eyes were clearly visible under the bright lights.

Guo Daguo pretended to be calm and answered quickly without thinking: "On the 20th, I was playing cards at home."

Chen Xin sneered, "It's been more than ten days since the 20th, and you remember it quite clearly. I just don't know if you really remember it clearly, or if you already thought of an excuse."

Guo Daguo then realized he had revealed his flaw and quickly explained, "How could I not remember? I heard about the dam breach that night. The village radio was broadcasting non-stop in the middle of the night. The villagers even sent people to check on the situation. We even stopped playing cards for a while."

"Guo Daguo, I urge you to tell the truth. Since we've arrested you, we must have evidence. If you still resist, you'll be a diehard and will be severely punished."

Guo Daguo smiled bitterly and said, "Director Chen, I was really playing cards. If you don't believe me, go to the village and ask someone."

Chen Xin sneered twice, "Okay, then tell me, who are the people you play cards with?"

Guo Daguo said: "The two brothers Guo Huan from the east end of the village, and Guo Long and Guo Yang from the west end of the village..."

As if to prevent Chen Xin from not believing him, Guo Daguo listed more than a dozen names in succession. He didn't believe that the other party could still convict him with so many people testifying.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xin carefully wrote down everyone's name and handed it to his subordinates beside him, "Check it out. These people are all major suspects in the crime."

Guo Daguo was stunned at first, then filled with fear and anger, and shouted, "Chen Xin, what do you mean? You dare to frame me? Do you believe that when our Wayi tribe starts to make trouble, you will be in big trouble!"

Chen Xin looked at Guo Daguo coldly, then stood up and walked over to him, leaning over to look him in the face. His sharp eyes made the latter dare not meet his gaze. "Why, are you scared? I'm afraid most of you are even involved in this. Did you even unify your statements in the car?"

Guo Daguo stared at the other person as if he had seen a ghost, unable to speak.

This is how ordinary people commit crimes. They don't have any detailed plans. Even after committing a crime, they will calm down and think about how to hide their traces.

"I'm giving you one last chance now. If you don't tell them, and they do, you won't have a chance to make a contribution."

Guo Daguo remained silent, and Chen Xin didn't care. He waved his hand and asked someone to take the other party into custody.

Ordinary people like this are easy to deal with. Just catch a few of them and use the "prisoner's dilemma" and there will be nothing to say.

Over the next few days, the people on the list disappeared one after another.

The people in Guo Village called the police, but the police came and left, saying they would investigate.

But the more they investigated, the more people disappeared.

Because Chen Xin could openly send people in to visit and secretly arrest people.

Within two days, another outrageous rumor spread in Guo Village, saying that these people had done bad things, killed people, and were now being exacted by ghosts.

Of course, these were all rumors spread by Qi Tongwei at the request of those who signed in.

Only Guo Lei, who received the news last, felt something was wrong. He found out that the missing people were the ones he had asked to break the dam. He did not believe in ghosts and gods. There was only one possibility: they were arrested.

Guo Lei didn't expect that he would be exposed so quickly despite being so secretive. Thinking of this, Guo Lei dressed up and prepared to go out, while taking out his mobile phone to report the situation to Lu Min.

At this time, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Guo Lei paused and slowly walked to the door. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, grasped the door handle, and then twisted it gently. With a slight "click", the door was slowly pushed open, and Guo Lei froze in place in an instant.

There were several prosecutors in neat uniforms and with serious expressions standing at the door.

One of the prosecutors took a step forward and pulled out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket. As he did so, the paper unfolded in the air, revealing a prominent seal and text—an arrest warrant!

"Guo Lei, after investigation and evidence collection, we have determined that you are suspected of endangering public safety and dereliction of duty. According to relevant laws and regulations, we need to subpoena you. Please cooperate with us and come with us."

Guo Lei's legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground. The two prosecutors were used to this and stepped forward skillfully to lift him up.

"Well...um, can I make a phone call?"

The leading prosecutor sneered and asked, "What do you think?"

Guo Lei lowered his head heavily, he knew that he was completely finished.

……

In the office of the Party Secretary of Wayi Township, Kong Changling summoned Guo Wen.

"Not bad, Guo Wen. Now that you're the village party secretary, you look a bit like your father." Kong Changling handed Guo Wen a glass of water.

Guo Wen took the water and said modestly, "Uncle Kong, this is all thanks to your guidance. I will be grateful for your guidance in the future."

"Forget about giving me advice. If you don't understand something, feel free to ask me. However, next time you come to see me, you'll have to go to the county." Kong Changling said with a smile.

Guo Wen was surprised and asked, "Uncle Kong, you went to the county?"

Kong Changling couldn't suppress the smile on his face. "Yes, it was decided this morning. I'll be the executive deputy county magistrate."

After more than ten years as a regular section chief, he finally made it to the top and became a real core member of Jiangchang County.

"Uncle Kong, congratulations." Guo Wen couldn't hide the envy in his eyes, but there was also a hint of sadness in his envy.

In the past, his father was the county magistrate, and he looked down on the deputy county magistrate. Now that he has entered this circle and matured, he realized that it would take at least twenty years to climb to the position of deputy county magistrate, and even then he would have to rely on his father's shoulders to have any chance.

Now, the deputy county magistrate dared not even think about it. He could only pray for some favors and political resources left by his father to solve his own deputy section chief problem first.

After all, the village party secretary is not even at the deputy section level, let alone entering the political arena.
