Chapter 2626 What happened outside?

"What's the second thing?" Duan Peng asked after throwing the document to the other party.

"I just received a call from the hospital saying that several members of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's inspection team are on their way to us. They will monitor and follow up on our handling of the Qin Feng case. The hospital requires us to unconditionally accept the supervision of the inspection team and cooperate with their work."

Hearing this, Peng was completely stunned: "So soon? Are you already on your way?"

"They said it would be here soon."

After hearing this, Duan Peng was completely desperate. He knew that there was no way he could complete the leader's "task" this time.

Duan Peng's entire soul seemed to be pulled out in an instant. Similarly, he calmed down from his previous anxious and irritable mood and felt completely liberated.

Duan Peng stood there, lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and said, "Take a few people to the door to greet them. When they arrive, please go to the reception room. Then notify me to come over and have Xiao Liu prepare to report on the Qin Feng case. Let him know what to say and what not to say."

After making the arrangements, Duan Peng did not return to his office, nor did he immediately return to the interrogation room to continue interrogating Qin Feng. Instead, he just stood there smoking heavily.

Duan Peng is not stupid. Having worked in disciplinary inspection for his entire life, he understands politics better than anyone else.

He was very clear about the nature of the Qin Feng case. He didn't want to get involved in the political whirlpool, nor did he want to do anything that violated his professional ethics, but he had no control over it. Being in this situation, there were some things he had to do, even though he was against it.

But now he is completely relieved, because even if he wanted to handle the Qin Feng case according to the leader's intention, he couldn't do it because the inspection team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has arrived.

However, Duan Peng knew that these sudden reversals were definitely not that simple. This matter had been a political case from the very beginning, so any reversal that occurred now was actually part of politics.

The new deputy secretary also serves as the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. On the afternoon of his first day in office, the secretary convened a meeting with the leaders of the judicial system. Immediately afterwards, the Public Security Department and the Procuratorate jointly issued an official letter requesting the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to transfer Qin Feng to the public security organs as soon as possible for investigation of the criminal case involved.

The Public Security Department’s requirements are legal and compliant, but not entirely reasonable because they go against common practice.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. The sudden change in the behavior of the Public Security Department and the Procuratorate shows that this is the intention of the new deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. The deputy secretary of the provincial party committee obviously did this to protect Qin Feng, because the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, like Qin Feng, was transferred from Beijing.

Moreover, they both have one thing in common, they are both from Jiangnan Province. Duan Peng, who has been interrogating Qin Feng recently and has Qin Feng's resume in his hand, knows this very well.

Secondly, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection did not come earlier or later, and suddenly sent an inspection team at this time. Normally, it would be rare to send one for several years. If there is no major case, it may not send one in ten years.

However, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection sent an inspection team without prior notice, and the inspection team headed straight for him as soon as they arrived.

In addition, there is the document issued by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection that shows that Qin Feng voluntarily handed over the pure gold ornament given to him by Yang Zhijie. This is even more strange.

Of course, Duan Peng did not doubt the authenticity of this matter. At their level, they would not and dared not engage in fraud, let alone the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

But why didn't the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection issue this certification document earlier? Why did Qin Feng submit it directly to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection instead of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection? You know, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection was his supervisor.

The most important thing is that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection cooperated with Qin Feng throughout the process.

Duan Peng smoked heavily. Judging from the abnormal behavior of the Public Security Department and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Duan Peng realized that the water in the Qin Feng case was becoming more and more muddy and deeper, so deep that it could drown him at any time.

Duan Peng took a few minutes to finish his cigarette and also a few minutes to make a decision.

Duan Peng first went back to his office, made a cup of tea and walked into the interrogation room.

In the interrogation room, the presiding judge continued to interrogate Qin Feng harshly, asking him to confess the problem voluntarily.

"Let's stop here today. You all go out first. I want to talk to him alone." Duan Peng interrupted the staff's interrogation.

Several staff members went out, and Duan Peng walked over and closed the door of the interrogation room. He had turned off all the video and audio recordings in the interrogation room before he came in.

Qin Feng noticed Duan Peng's abnormal behavior, but he remained silent and continued to sit there looking at Duan Peng carefully.

Duan Peng moved a chair to the desk and placed the tea on it. He then walked over to Qin Feng, who was sitting in the interrogation booth about three meters away, and handed him a cigarette. "Mayor Qin, can you chat for a while?"

Qin Feng smiled, took the cigarette and said, "Okay!"

Qin Feng and Duan Peng sat down on either side of the table. Duan Peng took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter and placed them in front of Qin Feng.

"I heard that Mayor Qin is a heavy smoker. Thank you for your hard work during this period. But next time you smoke, please avoid the cameras. After all, this is a serious violation." Duan Peng said.

Duan Peng didn't mention giving Qin Feng cigarettes, but his meaning was clear.

"Thank you Director Duan for your care." Qin Feng still smiled, then picked up the lighter given by Duan Peng, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then took a sip of tea.

Qin Feng is indeed a heavy smoker, and his addiction to smoking becomes more and more serious as his position rises.

If it were someone else, they would have gone crazy after being locked up here for so many days without a cigarette, but Qin Feng was very calm. It was not because he didn't have a smoking addiction, but because he was a person with strong self-control.

Qin Feng was smoking and drinking tea comfortably, without asking Duan Peng's opinion. At this level, everyone was a thousand-year-old fox. Qin Feng knew that Duan Peng's sudden change of attitude must be because something happened outside.

However, Duan Peng had to take the initiative to bring up the matter to him so that he could firmly grasp the initiative, although Qin Feng was very anxious to know what had happened.

"Mayor Qin, please tell me when you're done smoking and I'll bring it to you. I've also asked someone to prepare a few packets of tea and boiled water for your room. You can make tea anytime you want." Duan Peng added when he saw that Qin Feng didn't speak up.

"Okay, thank you Director Duan for your care." Qin Feng nodded and smiled again, then lowered his head and "concentrated" on drinking tea.

"I've looked at Mayor Qin's resume. You've been to the Commission for Discipline Inspection quite a few times over the years, especially the case you encountered a few years ago when you were the deputy mayor of Xiquan City, Jiangnan Province. It was very strange. To be honest, I've been working in discipline inspection for a lifetime and I've hardly heard of such a case." Duan Peng and Qin Feng started chatting about family matters.

"Didn't you, Director Duan, encounter this situation this time?" Qin Feng said with a smile.

Duan Peng was stunned for a moment, then he laughed. Everything was implied between the two of them. Some things could not be said even in private, as long as they understood each other's hearts.
