Chapter 2244 Nothing to talk about?

"After Cao Wenlin was arrested, he was immediately interrogated to find out two things: the first was the whereabouts of the fraudulent funds, and the second was who provided assistance behind the scenes and who instructed him to do so. It was clear that Cao Wenlin was a white glove."

"We must be quick. We must pry open Cao Wenlin's mouth as soon as possible and make him spit out everything in his stomach. If he doesn't cooperate, we can use some other tricks. There's no need to be so particular at this time." Qin Feng took the cigarette handed over by Zhang Jun.

"Don't worry, I have already arranged everything. I will make him speak as soon as possible and let him confess all the people and things behind this." Zhang Jun nodded.

"Is there any progress in other areas?" Qin Feng asked.

"Yes, last night the task force arrested the people who beat Liu Junhua two years ago. They were a group of local hooligans. According to their initial confession, someone paid them to do it. Based on the clues they provided, we found out that the instigator was a deputy director of the local street office. We took the deputy director away this morning and handed over the case to the Commission for Discipline Inspection."

"If I'm not mistaken, if we follow the clues from this deputy director, we should be able to implicate many people and things." Zhang Jun said with certainty.

"In addition, we are investigating Liu Junhua's two detentions with the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. During this period, we found many violations of laws and disciplines by the Qingyi Public Security Bureau. Now the two deputy directors of the Qingyi Public Security Bureau have been placed under double supervision. I am not sure about the specific follow-up situation, but according to our previous investigation, this matter has already involved a deputy district chief of Qingyi District. It was he who asked the police station to arrest people."

"The next time Liu Junhua was detained, it seemed like the municipal government issued a direct order. I'm not very clear about the follow-up situation. All subsequent cases were handed over to the Discipline Inspection Commission for review." Zhang Jun reported.

Zhang Jun was not only reporting, but also trying to get some information from Qin Feng.

Zhang Jun knew very well that Li Jianjun must have already reported the situations he reported to Qin Feng a long time ago, and the Discipline Inspection Commission would definitely report the latest situation to Qin Feng in real time.

"At present, the Commission for Discipline Inspection has found some evidence that Cao Wenlin's company bribed the heads of some functional departments and relevant leaders of Qingyi District in order to develop the Golden Orchid Court. Based on the current situation, the Golden Orchid Court real estate project is not a simple fraud. This is a typical economic crime of collusion between officials and businessmen, and many people are involved. As I said before, Cao Wenlin is just a person who was pushed to the front."

"What I can tell you now is that people from the Qingyi District Committee and District Government are involved in this." Qin Feng still fully satisfied Zhang Jun's curiosity.

Shortly after Zhang Jun left Qin Feng's office, Qin Feng received another call from Liu Xiaoping himself, asking Qin Feng to go to his office in a very unfriendly tone.

Qin Feng smiled, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and slowly walked towards Liu Xiaoping's office at the other end of the office building.

This time, Liu Xiaoping was no longer polite to Qin Feng, nor did he give him a good look. Instead, he asked Qin Feng to sit down in front of his desk with a stern face.

Qin Feng didn't mind. He sat down on the chair, took the ashtray on Liu Xiaoping's table in front of him, sat there with his legs crossed and smoked. He didn't say anything when Liu Xiaoping didn't speak.

"Qin Feng, you've gone too far. Let's stop here!" Liu Xiaoping said coldly.

"I don't understand what the mayor means." Qin Feng still pretended to be stupid.

"There's no need for us to pretend to be confused, right?" Liu Xiaoping glared at Qin Feng angrily, and then said, "As far as I know, the Public Security Bureau has begun investigating all the shareholders and capital flows of Xiquan Yisheng Investment Co., Ltd., and the Discipline Inspection Commission has also begun secretly investigating units and individuals that have business ties with Xiquan Yisheng Investment Co., Ltd. and Golden Orchid Court Community."

"In addition, you have also traced the deputy mayor of Qingyi District through the case of the self-immolation victim who was beaten two years ago. You have also investigated and punished some personnel of the Qingyi District Public Security Bureau through the detention of Liu Junhua several times. Then you followed the clues and found some comrades of the Qingyi District Party Committee and District Government. On the other hand, some comrades of our municipal government were also involved."

"Qin Feng, you have to know your limits when playing with fire. A little bit of fire may be fun, but if you play too much, it could be fatal." Liu Xiaoping's voice became more gloomy as he spoke.

"Stop now. All investigations are over here. I can pretend that nothing happened. You, Qin Feng, are still my, Liu Xiaoping's closest comrade-in-arms. I admit everything you have investigated and will cooperate with you in the aftermath. I will even take all the responsibility for this self-immolation case and will never implicate you." Liu Xiaoping changed the subject and spoke to Qin Feng in a calm and infectious tone.

"Mayor, there is one thing you still don't understand. Do you really think I can decide everything? You told me last time that I am a gun pushed out by others. Since I am a gun, if my gun doesn't work anymore, do you think others will throw me away and buy a new gun?"

"Moreover, this gun is always in someone else's hands. The gun itself cannot decide where to stab and how deep to stab." Qin Feng shook his head.

"Does that mean there's nothing to talk about?" Liu Xiaoping's eyes became sharp again.

"Mayor, why hasn't Xiquan developed over the years? Why has poverty alleviation continued to worsen over the years? Why did such a tragic case as the self-immolation case occur? And why did such a vicious fraud case as the Golden Orchid Court occur? You know the reasons better than anyone else."

"I am not doing this for my own political gain, nor am I targeting you on purpose. Although there is a grudge between you and me, or even hatred, I, Qin Feng, never take revenge on others."

"What I want is very simple. I want to eradicate the local interest group that has always existed in Xiquan City and is based on the real estate industry. I want to clear the biggest obstacle and cancer to Xiquan City's development, pave the way for Xiquan City's subsequent poverty alleviation and prosperity strategy, do something tangible for the people of Xiquan, and also give justice to Liu Junhua and the victims of the entire Golden Orchid Courtyard community, and to prevent tragedies like the self-immolation case from happening again in the future."

"This is not my will alone. I am at most the specific executor of the collective will. Mayor, I advise you again, stop it. If you stop now, you can still be saved with your ability. If you continue to resist, you will only die."
