Chapter 2627 A sudden show of goodwill

"I brought up that case not to imply anything. I just hope Mayor Qin can understand our work."

"The organization needs some people to be good guys and some people to be bad guys, some people to play the good guy and some people to play the bad guy. Sometimes we don't mean to target anyone, we just talk about the facts, this is our job." Duan Peng said slowly.

"I understand." Qin Feng still smiled and said little, still waiting for Duan Peng to speak.

"And..." Duan Peng continued, but stopped here, seeming a little hesitant.

"Mayor Qin, let me tell you the truth. I didn't want to get involved in your case from the beginning. Mayor Qin should know why, but the leader called me, so I had to come and handle the case according to the leader's instructions." Duan Peng continued.

Duan Peng has made it clear what he wanted to say.

Qin Feng kept thinking about why Duan Peng said this, but his face remained calm.

"Mayor Qin, there are no outsiders here, so I will tell you something that I shouldn't tell you. I just went out because a document was sent to me from above. Mayor Qin should be able to guess what this document is." Duan Peng asked.

"Please explain clearly, Director Duan."

"It's a certificate issued by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection." Duan Peng said and looked at Qin Feng.

Hearing this, Qin Feng immediately remembered what it was, but still didn't say anything.

"Mayor Qin, your case is divided into two parts: violations of discipline and violations of law. The violation of law is further divided into two aspects. One aspect is related to the online report of your rape and the suicide of the waitress you were involved in. This part is a criminal case and is primarily under the investigation of the police."

"We are primarily responsible for another case involving occupational crimes. This case involves reporting you for actively soliciting bribes from Yang Zhijie, the general manager of Lixin Group. This pure gold ornament is the most important stolen property and evidence."

"To be honest, we've been focusing on this case for a while now, and we've been considering finding the stolen goods as a breakthrough. That's why we've been trying to get you to tell us where the stolen goods are."

"Mayor Qin, if you had told us earlier that you had voluntarily handed this thing over to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, we wouldn't have kept bothering you like this, and we wouldn't have to work so hard, don't you think?" Although Duan Peng said this with a smile, there was still a hint of blame in his words.

Qin Feng had to admit that Duan Peng's speaking skills were indeed very clever. It was obvious that Qin Feng was the "victim" in this matter. He had not accepted any bribes but was forced to suffer for so long. Logically, Qin Feng should have hated Duan Peng, but after hearing what Duan Peng said, it became Qin Feng's fault, as if Qin Feng was deliberately playing tricks on Duan Peng.

"Director Duan, it's not that I deliberately concealed the truth from you, but I couldn't and didn't dare to say it before the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection sent you a letter to prove this matter." Qin Feng's answer was brief.

Duan Peng didn’t really care why Qin Feng didn’t take the initiative to explain this matter. It was not important to him. What was important was the attitude he wanted to convey to Qin Feng.

"Mayor Qin, the most important point in this investigation into you is the pure gold ornament that Yang Zhijie gave you. As long as we clarify this matter, the investigation into you will be basically over."

"But the end of the investigation doesn't mean the case is over. I don't think you've violated any laws, but there are still a lot of disciplinary issues."

"Mayor Qin, I've been working in disciplinary inspection for so many years. Strictly speaking, your violations aren't really problems. They're minor and borderline ambiguous."

"But you also know that if we really raise the issue and take it seriously, even minor problems can become serious ones, and gray areas can become serious political issues."

"So there is a high probability that we will make a fuss about your violation of discipline in the future. I hope Mayor Qin can understand this. Many things are not my intention, but I have to do this job if I want to eat this bowl of rice. But please rest assured, Mayor Qin, no matter how your problem is characterized, I will learn about our work here as soon as possible and hand you over to the Provincial Public Security Bureau and Procuratorate." Duan Peng finally said.

Duan Peng chatted with Qin Feng for a while, then got up and left, and Qin Feng was taken back to his room.

As Duan Peng said, after Qin Feng returned to his room, he found a set of tea sets and a thermos in the room, with a bag of tea leaves next to them.

Qin Feng opened the thermos and made himself a cup of tea. The tea tasted very good.

Qin Feng drank tea and smoked a cigarette, and began to calm down and think about what Duan Peng meant by his sudden "goodwill" to him today. What exactly happened outside?

Qin Feng was certain that what happened outside must be beneficial to him, otherwise Duan Peng would not have suddenly "showed goodwill" to him in private.

The reason why Duan Peng showed goodwill to him in private was definitely because Duan Peng thought Qin Feng was likely to turn things around, so Duan Peng showed goodwill in advance to avoid the political risks he might face later.

Qin Feng didn't care what Duan Peng thought. What Qin Feng cared about was what happened outside that made Duan Peng think that he had a chance to turn things around this time.

Is it just because of the evidence sent by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection?

"That's impossible." Qin Feng rejected this possibility. A certificate from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection was not enough for him to completely turn things around, let alone change Duan Peng's attitude towards him.

Just as Qin Feng was sitting alone in the room thinking about what might happen outside, his door was knocked again. The staff opened the door and came in to take Qin Feng to the interrogation room for questioning again.

Qin Feng had long been accustomed to this endless interrogation and questioning, and he was able to respond completely calmly.

Qin Feng followed the staff into the interrogation room again and sat down in his "old seat".

As usual, shortly after he sat down, staff members would come in, starting with Duan Peng, and sometimes another presiding staff member, but usually there would be two or three people, including a clerk.

But in reality, Qin Feng felt that this time was a little different from before, because there were obviously one or two more people coming in, and they were people who had not come in before.

The door opened and Duan Peng came in. However, after Duan Peng came in, he turned sideways at the door and said to the back with a smile: "Team Leader Hu, please!"

After Duan Peng finished speaking, a woman walked into the interrogation room. Qin Feng looked up inadvertently and was very surprised. He didn't expect that the person who came in was Hu Jiayun.

This was Ganliang Province, and Hu Jiayun worked in Jiangnan Province. How had she gotten to Ganliang? And how had she found her way here? What surprised Qin Feng even more was how Hu Jiayun had gotten into the interrogation room and even had Duan Peng politely invite her in.
