Chapter 1724: Integration of Police Force

"Fortunately, Chief Bai stepped in and stopped the high-level decision. Otherwise, Chaojiang's current situation would definitely not be optimistic. Even the entire East Guangdong Province would be greatly implicated. At that time, it would be my eldest brother who would have a hard time."

Liu Fusheng said: "Indeed, it is Deputy Secretary Tang who is struggling, not you, President Tang. A blessing in disguise."

Hearing this, Tang Shaoxiong paused for two seconds before saying, "Secretary Liu, do you think the arson case has anything to do with me? Don't say such things casually."

Liu Fusheng laughed: "Mr. Tang, you are worrying too much. I am not targeting you... Before the truth comes out, everyone is suspected. Mr. Tang, please don't pick on me."

Tang Shaoxiong said in a deep voice: "Secretary Liu is known as a detective. I believe he will succeed this time and find out the real culprit behind the scenes. He will give an explanation to the country and add a halo to himself. As an outsider, I am looking forward to Secretary Liu's promotion."

Liu Fusheng said: "Okay, I'll borrow Mr. Tang's good words."

After hanging up the phone, a deep chill flashed in Tang Shaoxiong's eyes. He didn't expect that Liu Fusheng would call him on the first day he arrived in Chaojiang City.

……

Liu Fusheng returned to his residence and after a night's rest, he immediately went to the Chaojiang Municipal Party Committee the next day and convened an office meeting of the Municipal Party Committee.

The level of the municipal party committee office meeting is not as high as that of the municipal party committee standing committee meeting, but those attending the meeting are all the leaders among the standing committee who truly play a decision-making role, including Chaojiang City Mayor Gu Hongcheng, the full-time deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, the secretary of the municipal discipline inspection commission, and so on.

At the meeting, Liu Fusheng said bluntly: "I have just arrived in Chaojiang City and do not know much about the local situation. Therefore, in terms of economic development and local policies, I will fully respect the decisions made by the former secretary of the municipal party committee and the leadership team of the municipal party committee standing committee. I will follow the rules and not interfere for the time being to maintain the stability of the three cities of Chaojiang."

"At the same time, I require the law enforcement agencies and judicial systems of the three cities of Chaojiang to mobilize their maximum capabilities and cooperate with the work of the special task force of the Ministry of Public Security to quickly find out the real culprit of the Jiangtou City Guest House arson case and give the country a perfect explanation in the shortest possible time."

"Comrades, this is the top priority for the three cities of Chaojiang. You should understand what I mean, right?"

After hearing Liu Fusheng's speech, the expressions of leaders such as Gu Hongcheng all eased a little.

They discussed privately that Liu Fusheng's focus after being parachuted into Chaojiang City must be the arson case. As for other powers, he might not want to get involved. After all, his rank is higher than that of the municipal party secretary. If he handles the arson case well, he will most likely be transferred to another place and serve as a provincial-level leader.

Gu Hongcheng and others are of course happy to see this situation, because a strong municipal party secretary will undermine the power in their hands, but for those who are not interested in this, it doesn't matter.

So, Gu Hongcheng took the lead and said, "I completely agree with Secretary Liu's opinion. The arson case at the Guest House has plunged the Chaojiang area into an extremely unstable state. In order to maintain stability, to protect economic and livelihood policies, and for the sustainable development of the three cities of Chaojiang, we must solve this case as soon as possible!"

Liu Fusheng said, "Thank you Mayor Gu for your support. Next, I will tell you another thing. From now on, I hope I can directly issue instructions to the public security, procuratorial and judicial systems of the three cities of Chaojiang, and have direct dialogues with the special case team of the Ministry of Public Security, so as to achieve the goal of going all out to solve the arson case of the Guest House. Do you have any opinions?"

"This one……"

Gu Hongcheng's eyes flickered, and he smiled and said, "Chaojiang City has no objection, of course, but Jiyang City and Jiangtou City still need to ask Secretary Zhao and Secretary Chen for their opinions, right?"

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "Okay, then we will hold a conference call immediately. The meeting will be over in about fifteen minutes at most. It won't take too long... Tell them that no matter what happens, they should stop immediately and continue with the work at hand after the conference call!"

Following Liu Fusheng's firm request, a telephone conference was immediately held.

After Liu Fusheng expressed his attitude, Zhao Qiuwei certainly had no objection. Chen Zixing hesitated for a moment and also agreed.

Because they all knew that this was the exchange condition proposed by Liu Fusheng.

Liu Fusheng can ignore the interests of the local Chaojiang clan, but you must fully support me in solving the arson case in the guesthouse.

If you don't support it, then as you can imagine, the consequences will be very serious.

The secretaries of the three cities reached a consensus.

After the meeting, Liu Fusheng immediately issued a formal document and distributed it to the public security bureaus and procuratorates of Chaojiang, Jiyang and Jiangtou.

In just half a day, he completed the integration of the law enforcement and judicial systems, and integrated the law enforcement and judicial systems in Chaojiang area into one.

Afterwards, Liu Fusheng immediately contacted the special task force of the Ministry of Public Security and reported the current situation.

Qin Guang laughed and said, "Great! Secretary Liu has to take action again. You have solved a big problem for us. In the past, our task force needed to go through multiple procedures and even obtain approval from their municipal party committee and municipal government if we wanted to use the police systems of the three cities. Now it is much more convenient."

Liu Fusheng said: "This is as it should be. The special task force of the Ministry of Public Security is an investigative agency sent by the state. It cannot be disconnected from the local authorities, and it must not be unable to command local police forces. Otherwise, the efficiency of the special task force will be greatly reduced... If necessary, I can also apply for some police support from East Guangdong Province."

Qin Guang said: "Not for the time being. The police forces of Chaojiang and the three cities combined are sufficient to handle any large-scale operation. If necessary, we can mobilize police forces from other places."

Liu Fusheng said, "Okay, Team Leader Qin, I hope that if there is any progress in the arson case, you can inform me as soon as possible, of course, without violating discipline."

Qin Guang said: "No problem."

After finishing the communication with the task force, Liu Fusheng did not stay at the Chaojiang Municipal Party Committee, but drove to another large clan in Chaojiang City - the Cai family.

This is one of the clans recommended to him by Li Hongliang as one that he could use for his strength. Liu Fusheng must show his attitude and visit them in person.

The patriarch of the Cai family is over eighty years old. He usually only appears during ancestor worship and serves as a mascot.

The one who truly holds power in the clan is the clan leader's youngest son, Cai Qiming, who is now in his forties and in the prime of his life.

In addition to being the head of the Cai family, Cai Qiming also has another official identity, namely, the director of the Chaojiang City Local Taxation Bureau.

During working hours, Liu Fusheng invited Cai Qiming to have tea near Cai's home.

Cai Qiming arrived on time for the appointment, but his attitude was a little lukewarm.

"Secretary Liu, Uncle Li called me before you came to Chaojiang. I know what you mean. I really want to help you, but my ability is very limited. For this, I can only say sorry."
