Chapter 2204 Secretary Meeting

"He was found dead at home by his secretary early this morning. The police's preliminary investigation found that he committed suicide and took a large amount of sleeping pills," said Tang Yun.

Qin Feng was completely numb after hearing this. The death of a county party secretary was no small matter, and Qin Feng didn't believe in his heart that Wu Zhitao would commit suicide.

"Are you sure it was suicide?" Qin Feng asked again.

"The detailed results will require further investigation by the public security department. Secretary Xie has personally called Zhang Jun and asked the Municipal Bureau to be responsible for the investigation of this case. He is required to personally take charge and give a clear result as soon as possible."

Qin Feng lit a cigarette silently. This matter was a bit big and also a bit sudden.

As he becomes a higher-ranking official with more experience, Qin Feng's political acumen is also increasing. When he heard the news of Wu Zhitao's suicide, he immediately realized that this matter was not simple.

"The province was about to conduct a thorough investigation of the Yanggang New Village project, and Wu Zhitao committed suicide unexpectedly. This matter is not that simple." Qin Feng pointed out directly.

"Because Wu Zhitao's case is likely related to the Yanggang New Village project, Secretary Xie hopes that you will come back as soon as possible to take charge of this matter."

Not only Qin Feng realized this, everyone realized this.

"Okay, I'll go back right away." Qin Feng said and hung up the phone.

"What's wrong? Something happened again?" Zhou Qian asked.

"A county party secretary in Xiquan committed suicide at home this morning." Qin Feng said to Zhou Qian.

Zhou Qian was stunned after hearing this, obviously not understanding how serious the matter was.

"This county party secretary is the county party secretary of the place where the project is located." Qin Feng added.

Zhou Qian suddenly understood what happened and asked, "Is it related to what happened last night?"

"It's not clear yet, but it's probably like this. It should be the follow-up of what happened last night." Qin Feng nodded.

"Will this affect you? Will you be in danger?" Zhou Qian asked.

"It shouldn't be, it's still unclear. Zhou Qian, I have to rush back to deal with this matter immediately. This matter is not big, but it's not small either." Qin Feng said.

The Xiquan City Provincial Office urgently sent a car and driver to take Qin Feng back to Xiquan, and Wang Jun's vacation was also cancelled by Qin Feng, who drove straight to Xiquan from Dongyang.

Qin Feng rushed directly to the city government and went straight to the cafeteria.

Li Jianjun was already waiting in the cafeteria, and asked the cafeteria chef to prepare a few of Qin Feng's favorite stir-fried dishes in advance, because it was almost two o'clock and it was long past dinner time.

Because time was urgent, Qin Feng ate while listening to some detailed information Li Jianjun had learned about Wu Zhitao's death.

After finishing his meal, Qin Feng did not rest. After coming out of the cafeteria, he took Li Jianjun to the Municipal Party Committee and entered the office of Xie Zhiguo, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.

Because Qin Feng came from Zhongjiang and was delayed on the way, he arrived a little late. When Qin Feng went in, Mayor Liu Xiaoping and Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Duan Hongyu were already sitting in Xie Zhiguo's office.

"I'm sorry, leaders. I just went to the cafeteria to eat a few bites of food and was delayed for a while." Qin Feng reflected on himself consciously after entering.

Today is a secretary meeting convened by Xie Zhiguo. Generally, the three heads of the secretary meeting are Xie Zhiguo, Liu Xiaoping and Duan Hongyu. Many things are studied and decided in this secret secretary meeting. Only after the secretary meeting reaches an agreement will they be sent to the Standing Committee for discussion. Some things are decided directly by the secretary meeting and will never be brought to the Standing Committee.

Qin Feng was specifically chosen by Xie Zhiguo to attend this secretary meeting today, otherwise Qin Feng would not be qualified to attend this meeting.

"Please sit down. You've worked hard. You've come all the way from Zhongjiang. You had been planning to take a leave to get married, but this incident has delayed your marriage." The person who said this was not Xie Zhiguo, but Liu Xiaoping.

"Serving the people is not hard at all." Qin Feng smiled at Liu Xiaoping's "good intentions".

"Okay, Qin Feng is here, so let's continue talking about the matter. Qin Feng, do you understand clearly about Wu Zhitao's suicide?" Xie Zhiguo asked Qin Feng directly.

"Has the Public Security Bureau confirmed that Wu Zhitao committed suicide?" Qin Feng asked.

As the municipal party secretary, Xie Zhiguo was very particular about the words she chose in such meetings. If it had not been confirmed that Wu Zhitao committed suicide, she would never have used the word suicide.

"It has been basically confirmed. Although the final result has not come out yet, Zhang Jun has said it is almost certain. So we will handle this matter as if it was suicide. If the final result is really different, we will talk about it again. After all, we don't have time to do nothing and wait for the result. Whether it is Tai'an County or the Yanggang New Village project, someone is needed to stabilize the situation." Xie Zhiguo said.

There is a lot of meaning in Xie Zhiguo's words. He did not simply say that Wu Zhitao committed suicide. There is a lot of knowledge involved.

"Considering that the provincial investigation team for Yanggang New Village will soon arrive in Tai'an County during this critical period, in order to facilitate the work of the investigation team and stabilize the situation in Tai'an at this critical time, we decided to let you go to Tai'an County to preside over the work and stabilize the situation."

"The first is to maintain stability, to stabilize the situation in Tai'an County. Second, cooperate with the provincial investigation team in the investigation of the Yanggang New Village project and be responsible for the work of the Yanggang New Village project. Third, the investigation into Comrade Wu Zhitao's death has not yet ended, so you will also be responsible for the investigation of Comrade Wu Zhitao's death."

"In short, the municipal party committee has entrusted you with the Tai'an County and Yanggang New Village projects. You have to shoulder this responsibility at this critical time."

"At the same time, on behalf of our three secretaries, I would like to express my opinion and authorize you. You will be fully responsible for the work of Tai'an County and Yanggang New Village on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee. Except for extremely important matters that require research and decision by the Standing Committee, you can make decisions directly." Xie Zhiguo said directly.

Apparently, before Qin Feng came, the three secretaries had already reached a consensus on this decision.

The Yanggang New Village project was Qin Feng's responsibility, and he had to go. This was not just a decision made by Xie Zhiguo and the Xiquan Municipal Party Committee, but was personally appointed by Hu Guangxiang. However, Qin Feng really didn't want to get involved in the mess in Tai'an County, especially after Wu Zhitao's bizarre death.

However, from Xie Zhiguo's unquestionable tone of command, Qin Feng also realized that the stability of the situation in Tai'an County and the death of Wu Zhitao were directly related to the provincial investigation team, so he must be responsible for this mess, because Wu Zhitao's death and the provincial investigation team's visit to Yanggang New Village were the same thing.

So he had to take over the mess in Tai'an County whether he wanted to or not.
