Chapter 2603 How to Determine the Sentence

Duan Peng's anger brought Qin Feng back to his senses. Qin Feng admitted that he was too emotional just now.

Qin Feng thought he was a fully mature politician who could remain rational at all times, but he still got angry after hearing that Liu Xiaonan was forced to death.

Qin Feng also understood that he was now the subject of investigation, and it would be very disadvantageous for him to be overly emotional at this time. This might be exactly what those people wanted.

Qin Feng took a deep breath to calm himself down, then took two puffs and lit the cigarette he hadn't smoked.

"I'm sorry, Director Duan. I lost my composure just now. I apologize." Qin Feng said slowly, and then continued, "Thank you Director Duan for telling me this. However, Director Duan, you are a veteran disciplinary inspector. You should know whether there is anything fishy about this whole matter. Moreover, regarding my investigation, the investigation team arrived at Shazhou and got everything cleared up in less than a day. Have you ever had such a simple investigation process before? Doesn't it feel like someone arranged all this and waited for the investigation team to arrive at Shazhou?"

"I know what you want to say, but I also want to tell you that when we handle cases, we focus on facts and evidence. We never rely on personal intuition, and we never mix in personal emotions." Duan Peng said firmly.

Qin Feng smiled and nodded, saying, "I understand. Director Duan, I lost my composure just now, and I apologize again. Now let's officially begin. I will explain everything I know and everything I've experienced to the organization, and I guarantee that everything I say is true."

"However, what I said may be inconsistent with what the investigation team investigated on the sandbar. I hope the investigation team can carefully verify every word I said again, rather than concluding that I am lying based on the confessions of a few relevant personnel." Qin Feng said patiently.

"We know how to investigate the case, so you don't have to worry about it. Your only way out now is to take the initiative to explain the problem clearly." Duan Peng was very impatient with Qin Feng's attitude.

Qin Feng smiled bitterly, nodded, and recounted everything that had happened to him. Qin Feng described the whole thing in great detail, and Duan Peng asked even more detailed questions. This interrogation alone lasted for two and a half hours.

Qin Feng knew that this kind of interrogation would become commonplace in the future. He also knew that he was doomed this time and his chances of turning the tables were very slim.

……

On the night that Qin Feng was taken away, Tang Zeyan, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, also arrived in Xidu. The first thing he did when he arrived in Xidu was to go to Jiang Longjun's residence.

On the afternoon of the day when the investigation team arrived in Shazhou, the municipal party secretary Jiang Longjun rushed to the province. That is, Jiang Longjun flew directly to Xidu right after he received the investigation team and held a meeting with the investigation team.

That afternoon, Jiang Longjun went to the provincial party committee. He came to the province because the top leader of the provincial party committee wanted to talk to him.

The mayor had such a big thing happen that Jiang Longjun, as the municipal party secretary, had no way to avoid it, and it was also necessary for the provincial party committee leaders to talk to him.

After Jiang Longjun left the provincial party committee, he went to visit several provincial leaders.

When Jiang Longjun returned to his hotel room after dinner with provincial leaders in the evening, his secretary reported to him that Deputy Secretary Tang Zeyan had arrived in Xidu and was on the way to his residence.

Jiang Longjun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Our deputy secretary is also very quick!"

Twenty minutes later, Tang Zeyan sat on the sofa in the suite where Jiang Longjun lived, and the secretary made tea for them.

"Comrade Zeyan, you also know the current critical situation in our Shazhou City. Comrade Qin Feng got into trouble and I was called here by the provincial party committee leaders for a talk. You became the only person in charge of the family. It is really inappropriate for you to come to Xidu without saying hello at this time." Jiang Longjun criticized Tang Zeyan right from the start.

What Jiang Longjun said was true. When the mayor got into trouble, the municipal party secretary went to the provincial capital. Now even the municipal party deputy secretary has fled to Xidu. None of the three big bosses in the city are here. If something happens in Shazhou at this time and there is no one to take charge, the consequences will be too serious.

"Secretary Jiang, I have arranged all the work. There won't be any problems. Besides, the investigation team is still on the sandbar. Who dares to mess around at this time? Nothing will happen." Tang Zeyan smiled and handed Jiang Longjun a cigarette.

Tang Zeyan is the deputy secretary and has considerable influence in Shazhou. In addition, many of Jiang Longjun's work still requires Tang Zeyan's cooperation and support, so Jiang Longjun is not in a good position to continue criticizing Tang Zeyan.

"Comrade Zeyan, what's the matter that made you fly all the way from Shazhou to Xidu and come to me so late at night?" Jiang Longjun asked, somewhat knowing the answer.

"Secretary Jiang, I heard some news that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has officially opened a case for investigation against Qin Feng. I heard that he has been taken away?" Tang Zeyan made it clear directly.

Jiang Longjun was not surprised by the speed of Tang Zeyan's information. Tang Zeyan was directly transferred from the province to Shazhou as deputy secretary. He had a strong network of relationships in the province and even had connections with senior provincial officials. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to reach the position of deputy secretary of the Shazhou Municipal Party Committee.

"Comrade Zeyan, we still have to stick to principles and rules. There are some things we know, but we can't say them out loud. After all, this matter is still in the confidential stage." Jiang Longjun said.

"Yes, Secretary Jiang criticized it, but there are only you and me here, no outsiders." Tang Zeyan kept a low profile today.

Jiang Longjun nodded. "Qin Feng was indeed taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission for investigation. You must have heard about the events that broke out today in Shazhou. With such a big incident and such heated online public opinion, how could he not be taken away?"

"Do you think Qin Feng can get through safely this time?" Tang Zeyan asked.

Jiang Longjun looked at Tang Zeyan and did not answer his question directly. Instead, he asked, "What do you think?"

"I think Qin Feng will have a hard time getting through this. The suicide of the waitress at the Shazhou Hotel has put Qin Feng in a very passive position. As long as he can't find solid evidence to prove he didn't do those things to this woman, it will be difficult for him to escape suspicion of a crime."

"Besides, the online public opinion is so overwhelming now. Even if the leaders above want to protect him, they will face great pressure and it will be difficult to operate." Tang Zeyan originally wanted to test Jiang Longjun's attitude, but Jiang Longjun did not take the bait, so he had to speak first.

"The problem is not that simple, Comrade Zeyan, I know what information you want to find out from me. You want to know what attitude the provincial party committee leaders had towards Qin Feng when they talked to me today, right? In fact, you don't need to know at all, because the attitude of the provincial party committee leaders towards Qin Feng and this matter has long been obvious." Jiang Longjun made it clear.
