Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 672 Intercession

Zheng Zhong was also aware of the relationship between the other party and Chen Yiwen, so he was not surprised.

"this...."

Zheng Zhong was about to speak when Qiu Haiquan snatched the conversation away.

"Stop talking about this and that. First, investigate the issue thoroughly. Chen Yilong is not an ordinary person. He is a relative of an important entrepreneur in our city, a representative of the National People's Congress, and a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

How can you arrest someone without any solid evidence?

You know that the municipal party committee and government attach great importance to the business environment. If you arrest an entrepreneur's relative at this time and the municipal party committee leaders find out, that will be a disaster.

I think we should release him first, and even if there are any problems later, we can arrest him later."

Zhengzhong felt like throwing the microphone after listening to this. These two leaders, every word they said to each other, convicted and offended others. It seemed like the Public Security Bureau had become theirs. It was really uncomfortable for him to be caught in the middle of this.

He solemnly suppressed his emotions and simply stopped hiding his feelings. He said directly, "Director Qiu, I'm afraid that's not possible. Director Xiao is personally investigating this matter, and the person was brought back by Director Xiao himself. I don't have the authority to do that."

"Xiao Long?" Qiu Haiquan was not impressed with the new executive deputy director, but he ranked higher than himself, and the director was the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. In a sense, Xiao Long was the actual leader of the Public Security Bureau.

Besides, he has the mayor's endorsement, so he really doesn't dare to offend him.

"Yes, Director Qiu, I really don't dare to release him without his order."

Qiu Haiquan asked: "What's going on? Why did Lao Xiao suddenly arrest Chen Yilong?"

He said solemnly, "I really don't know about this." He paused, seemed to hesitate, and then said, "I heard from Wei Tao that Director Xiao received a phone call and was very angry. Then he gave the order and went directly to the restaurant."

Qiu Haiquan pondered for a moment and sighed, "Okay, I get it. Make arrangements for Chen Yilong and don't let him suffer in there. I'll talk to Director Xiao over here."

He solemnly glanced at the interrogation room, which was bustling with activity, and took a deep breath, then said, "Okay, Director Qiu."

After hanging up the phone, Qiu Haiquan got up and went to Xiao Long's office.

The Municipal Public Security Bureau consists of three five-story old-style office buildings in a triangular shape.

Qiu Haiquan's office is in Building 2, while Xiao Long and the director's offices are in Building 1.

Originally, the executive deputy director's office was not in the same building, only the director's office was in the same building.

About two months ago, Duan Feng, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, took the initiative to ask Xiao Long, who had just taken office for less than a month, to move to a building. He said that he had a lot of work to do and Xiao Long would be responsible for the daily work of the Municipal Bureau.

At that time, Qiu Haiquan thought that the director was too cowardly. Later it turned out that he was a smart man to be able to become a member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

In the past three months, Duan Feng is the only member of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee among so many members who does not belong to the mayor and secretary faction and has not been criticized.

I heard that not only has he not been suppressed, but he has been praised many times for his outstanding work.

In reality, this Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission has not done anything particularly remarkable. The procuratorate and the courts are independent systems, and the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission only has guidance power.

Even the only power he had, the title of Public Security Bureau Director, was in name only.

Every time he came to the Municipal Bureau for a meeting, he only did two things: one, drink tea, and two, approve Xiao Long's resolution.

What the hell kind of job is this? I'd be fine with him!

Just as Qiu Haiquan rushed to Xiao Long's office, Xiao Long was listening to the results of Wei Tao's interrogation.

Regarding the investigation of Chen Yilong, a lot of information was obtained from the other party's younger brother.

Xiao Long was very satisfied, "Wei Tao, they've revealed so much information, are they okay?"

Wei Tao scratched his head. "Director, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. These people were very stubborn at first, so... I resorted to some trickery."

Xiao Long threw the information aside and said, "Zheng Zhong is right. You still need to be careful. I'm not just asking you to be a soldier. You'll have to take on a management position in the future. You still need to pay attention to some personal style issues.

Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives catches you doing this, losing your job would be the least of your problems.”

Wei Tao is Xiao Long's confidant who was discovered and promoted from a local police officer to the criminal police team after Xiao Long took office. He is very skilled and is also the city's Sanda champion this year.

Xiao Long has been training the other party as his apprentice.

Thinking of this, Xiao Long remembered the two apprentices he accepted in Jinghai, An Xin and Li Xiang. These two people had much better personalities than Wei Tao.

Of course there are pros and cons. Wei Tao's fighting power is not comparable to those two.

Wei Tao was a straightforward person, but he could still tell who was good to him. When he heard the director say that, he responded repeatedly: "Yes, Director, I will pay attention to it, I will pay attention to it."

Xiao Long gave a brief reminder, then turned back to the case and asked, "What about Chen Yilong? Has he confessed?"

Wei Tao replied: "Not yet, the brothers are still interrogating."

Xiao Long said: "The situation may have changed. Let them stop for a while and don't overdo it."

"Then Chief, should I call them now?"

As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Long shouted "Come in", and Qiu Haiquan walked in with a fat smiling face.

"Director Xiao."

"Old Qiu, why are you here?"

Wei Tao saw that it was the director and stood up from his seat. "Director Qiu."

Qiu Haiquan said, "I'm here to report some work to you." He then smiled and said to Wei Tao, "Comrade Wei Tao is here too."

Wei Tao nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here to report to the director as well."

Qiu Haiquan smiled and nodded, but he didn't agree in his heart. A small policeman dared to say that he was reporting on his work.

Knowing that Qiu Haiquan was in trouble, Xiao Long picked up his teacup and said to Wei Tao cryptically, "Wei Tao, go down first and arrange things. Also, make the most of the next two days and go down there to do some field research."

"Yes, Director." Wei Tao saluted and turned to leave the office.

Looking at Wei Tao's departing back, Qiu Haiquan asked thoughtfully: "Old Xiao, is this a question about Chen Yilong?"

Xiao Long paused drinking his tea and said with a half-smile, "Comrade Haiquan seems to be well-informed. Do you know them?"

"I know him." Qiu Haiquan didn't deny it. If he didn't investigate, no one would know. Once he did, he would know sooner or later. He might as well say it out loud. "You know, opening an entertainment project is lucrative and full of violence. It's inevitable that a group of hooligans will fight for territory with swords and guns.

In order to make a fortune in our Beishan, they have to pay for peace. This is not uncommon everywhere, and it is the same here.

Besides, sometimes a lot of the funding for the bureau also depends on the support of these bosses. For example, last year our city bureau added five new police cars, three of which were donated by Chen Yiwen. So with this back and forth, it’s hard not to be familiar with them.”

Xiao Long nodded. This kind of unspoken rule was normal. It was the same in Guying Town back then.

Generally speaking, there are three sources of funding for their department.

One part comes from funding from above, one part comes from self-generated income, and one part comes from “donations” from bosses in society.

If you want to do business, especially in such a highly profitable industry, you can't do it without some tricks.
