pinnacle of power

At this critical moment of tense confrontation, no matter whether it is Zhou Junhao's allies or other neutral Standing Committee members, everyone is very clear that at this time, no one is suitable to speak.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the conference room was almost tense, Zhang Shuncheng put down the water glass calmly and made a soft bang, temporarily attracting everyone's attention.

Zhang Shuncheng coughed lightly and slowly raised his head, glanced at Liu Qingyu and Zhou Junhao and said in a deep voice, "Let me tell you something fair."

As soon as Zhang Shuncheng said this, Liu Qingyu and Zhou Junhao all looked at Zhang Shuncheng.At this moment, Zhou Junhao was very displeased with Zhang Shuncheng, an old fox, who spoke at this time, but he had no choice but to let him be the top leader.

Zhang Shuncheng said: "Comrade Zhou Junhao, I think you gave Comrade Liu Qingyu a week to solve both cases. This is indeed a bit embarrassing for Comrade Liu Qingyu. After all, he just took office not long ago. No matter what, you have to give him some time to familiarize himself with the work. As for Comrade Liu Qingyu, what you just said is also problematic. The situation is not well understood, at least it will take a long time to adapt and understand. At this time, it is very inappropriate for you to make large-scale adjustments to internal personnel. Doing so is very bad and does not conform to relevant laws. So , I think you should focus on solving the case at present. Of course, it is definitely inappropriate to ask you to solve the case within a week. Let me see this. I will give you two weeks, which is equivalent to one week. If you solve a case, there shouldn’t be any problem with this, right?”

Hearing what Zhang Shuncheng said, whether it was Zhou Junhao or Liu Qingyu, although they were all very dissatisfied with Zhang Shuncheng's proposal in their hearts, they all had to accept Zhang Shuncheng's proposal, because under the current situation, if the two continue to confront each other , This is definitely not a wise approach. The final result of the confrontation will not be beneficial to either of them. Only by accepting Zhang Shuncheng's adjustment and each taking a step back, can both have a step down.

Liu Qingyu was the first to stand up and express his opinion: "Okay, solve the case in two weeks, I accept."

Zhou Junhao also nodded: "Well, two weeks is two weeks, but I have a suggestion. In order to ensure that the Municipal Public Security Bureau can solve the case as soon as possible and play a supervisory role, I suggest setting up a special case leading group. We The municipal government will send a deputy secretary-general to coordinate and supervise, and at the same time, actively participate in various case analysis meetings so that the municipal party committee and government can keep abreast of the dynamics of the entire case.”

Zhang Shuncheng also nodded when he heard the words: "Well, this is definitely needed. I think the Political and Legal Committee will take the lead to form a four-party joint task force composed of the Public Security Bureau and the Municipal Government Secretariat. Solve the case within 2 weeks to ensure that the social order in Lanshan City returns to normal as soon as possible.”

For Zhang Shuncheng's proposal, Liu Qingyu and Zhou Junhao naturally have no objection, because this is the only approach that can be accepted by all parties under the current circumstances.

As the matter of solving the case within a time limit was settled, the follow-up issues of the Standing Committee seemed calm, and various issues were passed quickly. Liu Qingyu generally adopted a silent attitude when it came to matters not in his professional field. At this time, Liu Qingyu also made some novel discoveries through watching with cold eyes, that is, he found that on many issues, once political interests and economic interests are involved, there will always be people from two camps jumping out to compete with each other.Although the scale of each contest is not very large, and it is only contested among members of the Standing Committee who rank relatively low, but Liu Qingyu can clearly feel that although the members of the Standing Committee of Lanshan City are superficially It looks harmonious on the surface, but it is actually undercurrents. There should be at least two main camps.

Seeing this, Liu Qingyu basically has a preliminary understanding of the general situation of Lanshan City. This is different from what he learned from his secretary Zhou Shangwu that Lanshan City is divided into a secretary faction headed by Zhang Shun. It is more consistent with the situation of the Mayor faction headed by Zhou Junhao. However, judging from the performance of the two parties on the Standing Committee, they are still relatively able to control their emotions and behaviors. All can ensure the stability of the overall situation.

After the meeting was adjourned, Liu Qingyu received a call from Li Hongjie, the deputy secretary-general of the municipal government: "Hello, Secretary Liu, I just received instructions from Mayor Zhou to report to the task force. Do you think we should set up a task force to work?" What about the special area? This will also facilitate the unified action and unified analysis of our task force staff.”

When Liu Qingyu received a call from Li Hongjie, there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Regarding Li Hongjie's identity, Liu Qingyu knew very well that he was an eyeliner inserted into the task force by Mayor Zhou Junhao, and he was here to supervise.

Liu Qingyu said lightly: "Okay, then you can come directly to the Municipal Bureau, and you can directly ask my secretary, Comrade Zhou Shangwu, to implement the specific matters."

As a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and Director of the Public Security Bureau, Liu Qingyu naturally would not directly confront or receive Li Hongjie.

Back in the office, Liu Qingyu made a phone call to Zhang Jinbao, the head of the Lanshan City Procuratorate, and Chen Baifeng, the head of the Lanshan City Court, and informed them to send a staff member to the special investigation team. Afterwards, Liu Qing Yu began to meditate.

For Liu Qingyu, the most critical thing now is how to form this task force.Because for him, if he wants to solve the case within two weeks, the most important force is the city bureau, because he is the director of the city bureau, and he is relatively easy to mobilize the power here.But now there is a very serious problem in front of him, that is, he is not familiar with the various forces of the city bureau at all, and he is not sure who can be trusted or not. It is a very serious challenge.

But when Liu Qingyu calmed down, he rolled his eyes and suddenly had a good idea.

Liu Qingyu immediately picked up his mobile phone and called Cheng Yonggang, deputy director of Fuming District Public Security Bureau: "Comrade Cheng Yonggang, come to my office."

After Cheng Yonggang received Liu Qingyu's call, he was stunned: "Go to your office?"

Liu Qingyu smiled and said, "That's right, come here quickly, I'll wait for you in the office."

Hearing Liu Qingyu said that he was waiting for him in the office, Cheng Yonggang didn't dare to neglect, because he didn't know why Liu Qingyu called him.I don't know whether Liu Qingyu called him a blessing or a curse.

Feeling anxious, he came to Liu Qingyu's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Liu Qingyu's voice came from inside.

Cheng Yonggang opened the door and walked in, standing in front of Liu Qingyu respectfully: "Director Liu, did you call me?"

Liu Qingyu said with a smile: "Come on, sit down, I called you over this time, mainly because I want to hear your opinion on the two consecutive murders in Lanshan City."

Cheng Yonggang was even more puzzled, because the two murders in Lanshan City did not happen in their Fuming District, but in other districts, so they never paid close attention to this murder case.

But he knew a little about the two cases.

At this moment, when he heard Liu Qingyu asking for his opinion, he thought for a while, and then slowly said: "Director Liu, these two cases all happened in Landong District. These two cases have more right to speak, but since you are asking me, I will give my opinion, of course, it only represents my personal opinion."

After Cheng Yonggang cleared up all kinds of relationships, he said this time: "Director Liu, I think the first murder case was that Zhao Fugui, an investor from out of town, was hacked to death with a kitchen knife on the road late at night. These two homicide cases are relatively simple cases, because the criminal suspect and the motive for the murder can be determined after a little investigation. It is complicated, but lies in whether the relevant departments are really willing to solve the case, whether they really dare to investigate the case, this is the key. As for the second case, this case is relatively sporadic, and the key lies in whether it can be confirmed as soon as possible The identity of the deceased is the most troublesome case in this case. Because from the girl's death to now, it may be difficult to collect a lot of evidence."

Hearing Cheng Yonggang mention his knowledge of the first case, Liu Qingyu immediately realized that there might be a lot of tricks hidden in this case.And from Cheng Yonggang's tone, he could also hear that Cheng Yonggang was still not very satisfied with his colleagues in Landong District.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingyu stared directly at Cheng Yonggang and said: "Comrade Cheng Yonggang, at present, the municipal party committee has issued an instruction to our municipal bureau to solve the case within a deadline, requiring our municipal bureau to crack all these two cases within two weeks." , I would like to invite you and Comrade Zhou Shangwu to take charge of the overall work of this case, I wonder if you dare to take over this case."

When Cheng Yong heard this, his eyes widened and he looked at Liu Qingyu with a look of disbelief.

Regarding Liu Qingyu's mention of solving the case within a time limit, he already knew about it through gossip in the bureau after the Standing Committee adjourned, and he also knew that the city bureau was going to set up a task force, but he never expected that Liu Qingyu, the new The director actually wanted himself and Zhou Shangwu to take charge of these two cases.The information contained in it shocked him a little, and also surprised him a little.

He knew that the reason why Liu Qingyu determined that he became a member of the task force must be related to his previous reminder to Liu Qingyu, which showed that Liu Qingyu paid attention to his reminder and recognized his kindness.
