Chapter 2285: Forcing Wu Zhitao to Death

Qin Feng finally understood why Hu Jiayun emphasized that the provincial party committee meeting the night before had lasted for a long time.

From the perspective of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee, if this incident were to be exposed, how much political responsibility would the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee have to bear? The best outcome would naturally be to prevent this incident from happening, that is, there would be no evidence from the Zhongjiang Municipal Public Security Bureau, let alone a false or wrongful conviction.

And why was this matter finally made public, and Yan Wenliang came here to meet Qin Feng early yesterday morning? This shows that the final resolution made by the Provincial Party Committee was to make this matter public and clear Qin Feng's name.

The reason for this result is naturally the support of Hu Guangxiang, Zhao Hongjian and others, otherwise how could it be made public?

Qin Feng could guess with his toes how intense the game regarding this matter was, and how much effort Hu Guangxiang had put in to save him.

"The Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection have formed an investigation team to investigate your case. This is the news I just received today." Hu Jiayun said another piece of news.

"Jiangnan Province is going to be in turmoil." Qin Feng sighed.

"I don't know whether Jiangnan Province will be in turmoil, but I know that you have finally been cleared of your grievances and don't have to go to jail anymore." Hu Jiayun said with a smile.

Qin Feng also laughed. The whole thing seemed simple, but behind it was a huge political game involving the entire political landscape of Jiangnan Province. Moreover, this game had lasted for more than half a year, or to be precise, it might have lasted for several years.

Qin Feng is the core chess piece in this game, but he is just a chess piece after all, and the fate of the chess piece is always in the hands of the chess player, not in his own hands.

"Was it Liu Xiaoping who ordered this group of people to force Wu Zhitao to death?" Qin Feng asked.

"No, this group of people don't know Liu Xiaoping. The one who ordered them to do this was the largest real estate boss in Xiquan City." Hu Jiayun shook her head.

"Jin Baofang?" Qin Feng asked.

"Yes, it seems you are familiar with him as well."

"How could I not be familiar with him? He is the largest real estate boss in Xiquan City and also the richest man in Xiquan City. He is a well-known figure in both the red and black circles in Xiquan City. Everyone knows that he is Liu Xiaoping's biggest white glove." Qin Feng leaned back in his chair.

"When I investigated the cause of Wu Zhitao's death, I guessed that Liu Xiaoping must have arranged for someone to force Wu Zhitao to commit suicide, but we didn't find any evidence. With Liu Xiaoping around, it would be useless even if we found evidence."

"At the time, I suspected two people, one was the municipal government secretary general Cao Guanlin, and the other was Jin Baofang. These two people were most likely to help Liu Xiaoping do this, but Cao Guanlin was a government official and would not do such dirty work, so the person I suspected the most was Jin Baofang."

"I also asked Zhang Jun to arrange people to secretly investigate Jin Baofang and Jin Baofang's people, but there was no result. Moreover, no one dared to touch Jin Baofang without evidence, so the matter eventually came to nothing. I didn't expect that it was really Jin Baofang who did these things." Qin Feng sighed.

"This group of people are the thugs hired by Jin Baofang. They specifically help Jin Baofang do these illegal jobs. Over the years, they have done countless evil things for Jin Baofang in Xiquan, but have never been hunted down by the police." Hu Jiayun continued.

"With Liu Xiaoping and Wang Jiahao here, how could we get caught?" Qin Feng smiled.

"The gang confessed that they followed Jin Baofang's orders and sneaked into Wu Zhitao's residence, pointed a gun at Wu Zhitao's head, and threatened him that if he didn't commit suicide, they would kill all of his family members."

"And tell Wu Zhitao that even if he doesn't want to commit suicide, they will kill him. In short, Wu Zhitao will definitely die. But if Wu Zhitao commits suicide, they can save the lives of their entire family."

"Wu Zhitao was forced to commit suicide and recorded that video before his death," Hu Jiayun further explained.

"After they committed the crime, Jin Baofang gave them a sum of money and arranged for them to go to Southeast Asia, telling them to hide out for a while just in case, and to come back after the incident was completely over."

"Because this matter involved the Discipline Inspection Commission, the Public Security Bureau immediately passed the confessions to the Commission, which allowed me to see the contents," Hu Jiayun said finally.

Qin Feng nodded and continued to ask: "So it wasn't these people who put the bank card into my bedside table?"

"It shouldn't be. The Public Security Bureau investigated and found that they did leave the country and go to Southeast Asia directly after Wu Zhitao's death. So it was definitely not this group of people who sneaked into your house."

"But you don't have to worry. After Liu Xiaoping died, I investigated Liu Xiaoping's case in Xiquan. Jin Baofang had a close relationship with Liu Xiaoping and there was too much collusion between officials and businessmen. Jin Baofang has been arrested by the Xiquan Public Security Bureau and is said to have been prosecuted."

"From what we can see now, Jin Baofang is very tight-lipped and has never leaked any information about this matter. But now that this group of people has been arrested, he has to confess even if he doesn't want to."

"Since Liu Xiaoping had someone arrange for Wu Zhitao to be killed and record a video to frame you, it is certain that he was the one who arranged for someone to put the specially prepared bank card in your bedside table."

"As long as the Xiquan police come to interrogate him, Jin Baofang will definitely speak up. After catching the person who sneaked into your house to put the bank card, the evidence chain against you will be sufficient. In other words, even if Jin Baofang refuses to speak, it can prove that you were framed."

"So Qin Feng, don't worry about anything. Your innocence is a foregone conclusion, it just depends on how long the trial will take." Hu Jiayun thought Qin Feng was worried about whether he could get out of trouble.

Qin Feng shook his head.

"As long as this person admits that he forced Wu Zhitao to record the video, I can completely overturn the verdict. This is not what I am worried about."

"Then what are you worried about?"

"I'm worried about your dad." Qin Feng said to Hu Jiayun.

Hu Jiayun naturally knew what Qin Feng meant by this.

The entire Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee has to bear the responsibility for such a serious political case. But as the governor and second-in-command, can Hu Guangxiang escape accountability?

Compared with those bigwigs in the provincial party committee, Qin Feng is just a small figure. He is not very clear about the rules and operating logic. But based on his logic, Hu Guangxiang will definitely be implicated in this matter.

"I have blamed my father for this matter. Although it was not his wish for you to go in, and he had never expected it, he was more or less responsible for your going in. If he hadn't supported you to go to Xiquan, you wouldn't have had this experience."

"But I didn't expect that he had been trying his best to save you and overturn your case. I didn't expect that he had done so much for you in private and set up such a big plan."

"During this period, I kept asking him why the procuratorate was still holding up your case. He always said that there might be some issues that the procuratorate had not yet investigated clearly, and asked me to wait and not to worry. He also told me that the situation was not completely hopeless."
