Chapter 265 Next Step
As soon as Li Gangxin finished giving his instructions, one of the deputy team leaders expressed his embarrassment.
The driver has already investigated.
That night, he happened to be on sick leave, and another driver took Bai Jingwen to the hotel.
As for the contractor, Mr. Qian.
The task force also inquired with the other party, who stated that the project process was clear, the procedures were complete, and the quality inspection was qualified. He was unaware of the collapse.
After hearing all this...
Li Gangxin stroked his chin and murmured softly:
"Just as Minister Xia guessed..."
"Director Li? What are you saying?" the deputy team leader asked in confusion. Li Gangxin quickly straightened up and said:
"It's nothing, the case just hasn't gotten out of control yet. Listen carefully, put the contractor's side on hold for now, we need to find Bai Jingwen's driver who took the day off that night."
Li Gangxin paused, then added:
"After finding him, there's no need to interrogate him about the case. Just ask him one thing: who arranged for him to get sick?"
These words left the task force members bewildered.
Even if you're sick, can you make arrangements?
Is Director Li unable to solve the case, so he's resorting to reckless actions?
Only the deputy team leader, who had been poached, reacted first, saying:
"I understand. Director Li means that the driver was instructed to leave his post that night on the grounds of illness."
"Exactly, find him and ask who arranged this," Li Gangxin said in a deep voice.
"As for interrogation techniques... I don't need to teach you, do I?"
"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.
Li Gangxin's arrangements soon yielded results.
Based on the feedback from members of the task force.
That night, Bai Jingwen's driver excused himself from his post due to illness.
It was in accordance with the instructions of Wu Tianliang, director of the Guangming District Committee Office.
According to the driver, Director Wu felt that he had been driving too hard these days, so he specially arranged for him to take a paid day off.
The driver was happy but also a little hesitant, so Director Wu advised him to take sick leave.
Li Gangxin said with satisfaction:
"Very good, the next step is to find Wu Tianliang. We have reason to suspect that he is Li Dakang's agent in Guangming District."
The deputy team leader looked troubled and said:
"Director Li, there's something I must report. Investigating the people in the District Party Committee Office is beyond our authority; only the Discipline Inspection Commission can handle it. The Jingzhou Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission has also been actively investigating these past few days. Perhaps we could share the leads with them..."
"Absolutely not! The Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection is not functioning properly!" Li Gangxin categorically denied this claim.
"If they're in cahoots with Li Dakang, sharing clues with them would be tantamount to throwing them into a fire!"
The deputy team leader said in surprise:
"No, really? Yi Xuexi, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Jingzhou City, is a man of great principle and unyielding integrity..."
"That's no longer the case." Li Gangxin narrowed his eyes slightly and said meaningfully:
"People change. In short, we can't share clues, but we also can't openly question Wu Tianliang. So, we can use a roundabout way to achieve our goal."
A young police officer immediately understood Li Gangxin's meaning and excitedly said:
"You mean, secretly controlling Wu Tianliang's electronic devices?"
Li Gangxin nodded approvingly at the young police officer and said:
"That's exactly right."
……
Just as the Public Security Bureau was busy working on Bai Jingwen's case.
Jingzhou City has also taken the next step.
The municipal discipline inspection commission secretary, Yi Xuexi, personally gave instructions that during the investigation, Bai Jingwen, a person with serious problems, should not be allowed to move freely, lest he do something desperate.
Therefore, an order was issued to take Bai Jingwen to the hotel where the Discipline Inspection Commission was handling the case and detain him for further processing.
That same day, the disciplinary committee's car drove to Bai Jingwen's dormitory.
What was unsettling was that, in addition to the disciplinary committee's car, there were also cars from the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau and the Guangming District Public Security Bureau following behind.
This scene doesn't look like they're taking away an official; it looks more like they're arresting a major criminal.
When more than a dozen vehicles, accompanied by sirens blaring, drove into the dormitory area for leading cadres of the district party committee office.
Bai Jingwen, who had been a secretary his whole life, had never seen anything like this before!
Just one glance from the windowsill was enough to make my legs go weak.
He had a strong premonition.
If they are taken away today.
I'm afraid I'll never get out again.
When you think back to when you were the secretary to the provincial party secretary, who wouldn't see themselves as the number two leader?
From the cadres in Handong to his parents and relatives back home, who didn't treat him with utmost respect and follow his lead?
If he were to become a prisoner, not to mention losing his freedom and career,
He'd probably drown from all the criticism he'd receive!
I've already experienced the terrifying power of media opinion once!
Bai Jingwen pressed his hands to his head and squatted down in despair.
At the same time, Li Gangxin also received the news.
The Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, along with the municipal and district-level public security bureaus, led the operation.
They mobilized together to arrest Bai Jingwen.
This action made Li Gangxin realize that something was very wrong.
He immediately ordered the task force to set off in a provincial department vehicle to the scene.
Therefore, the vehicles from the Provincial Public Security Bureau also drove to the dormitory area for the leaders of the Guangming District Committee.
On the bus, Li Gangxin quickly reported to Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei said he would immediately arrange for manpower to provide support at any time and report to Xia Qing.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Qing received a call from Qi Tongwei.
Upon learning of the latest developments in Guangming District, Xia Qing's eyes sharpened.
Li Dakang, you're trying to avoid things getting complicated by delaying and want to cut the Gordian knot quickly.
It's also easy to learn.
Through this action, Xia Qing could make a conclusion.
Yi Xuexi has completely become Li Dakang's man.
It seems that he wants to use Yi Xuexi for his own purposes and to monitor Li Dakang's thoughts.
It's already ruined.
That being the case.
Let's settle the score sometime then.
Therefore, Xia Qing gave the following serious instructions:
We must not allow the Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to take Bai Jingwen away before the case is concluded.
The provincial department must be on standby at any time to support Li Gangxin.
Then, Xia Qing reported the incident to Sha Ruijin.
The provincial public security department is once again in a standoff with the municipal and district public security bureaus.
The Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection was also involved this time.
Sha Ruijin was puzzled.
Bai Jingwen's case is still under investigation.
How could the Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection directly order the arrest of people?
They even brought the police?
Xia Qing believes that, procedurally speaking, it is reasonable for the Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to propose detaining Bai Jingwen.
But we can't let them do that.
Once Bai Jingwen is completely under the control of Jingzhou, he will lose contact with Handong.
What will happen next is unimaginable.
After Xia Qing analyzed the pros and cons, Sha Ruijin said seriously:
"Indeed, we cannot abandon Jingwen. Xia Qing, I'm understanding this more and more now. This Guangming District is a grand chess game, a grand game beyond my imagination. Bai Jingwen is no longer just a pawn that has crossed the river, but a rook that we must protect with all our might. I never expected that I would unintentionally stab a knife in the heart of Jingzhou."
Xia Qing nodded and said:
"Yes, Secretary Sha, the problems in Guangming District are gradually coming to light. Li Dakang's strong reaction and drastic actions prove everything. The most urgent task is to protect Bai Jingwen at all costs, clear his name, and allow him to remain as the Party Secretary of Guangming District."
After thinking for a moment, Sha Ruijin said:
"Alright, since the Provincial Public Security Bureau is going, I'll tell Tian Guofu to take the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to Guangming District as well! I want to see if Yi Xuexi, with Li Dakang's help, can turn Handong upside down!"
