Chapter 2638 Qin Feng has died long ago

Zhao Hongjian is now in deep self-blame.

Although Qin Feng’s matter this time had nothing to do with him, it was he who recommended Qin Feng to come here.

When he asked Qin Feng to come to Shazhou to be the mayor, he actually knew very well how dangerous it was here, and he had long guessed that Qin Feng might encounter such an experience. However, for Qin Feng's future, for the country and the people, he still recommended and persuaded Qin Feng to come.

If it weren't for his recommendation and persuasion, Qin Feng would not have come to Shazhou to be the mayor, and naturally he would not have become what he is today.

The more I thought about Zhao Hongjian, the more uncomfortable I felt. I felt guilty and blamed myself...

Zhao Hongjian watched Qin Feng rise step by step. In Zhao Hongjian's eyes, Qin Feng was a capable man and also his younger brother.

Now his younger brother has not only ruined his future, but is also imprisoned. How can he, as an older brother, feel good about this?

Of course Zhao Hongjian wanted to help Qin Feng. In order to help Qin Feng, he had thought of all the ways he could think of and did everything he could.

Although he is the deputy secretary of the Gansu-Liang Provincial Party Committee and also serves as the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, he is not the top leader after all, and he is a newcomer.

In the face of overwhelming public opinion, if there is no solid evidence to prove Qin Feng's innocence, he cannot help Qin Feng even if he is the provincial party secretary, not to mention that he is only a deputy secretary.

This was the first time in his life that Zhao Hongjian felt so helpless.

Zhao Hongjian was sitting alone in the cafeteria eating his work lunch. He did not go to the small cafeteria reserved for leaders on the second floor, nor did he ask the cafeteria chef to cook for him alone. Instead, he chose to dine with ordinary staff in the lobby on the first floor. He just chose a seat in the corner, with his secretary following behind him.

Zhao Hongjian usually eats like this. The work meals in the cafeteria taste pretty good, but tonight Zhao Hongjian has no appetite at all.

After eating a few bites, Zhao Hongjian put down his chopsticks.

"Do you have any cigarettes? Give me one." Zhao Hongjian rarely said to his secretary.

The secretary quickly took out a cigarette, handed it to Zhao Hongjian, and lit it for him.

Zhao Hongjian hadn't smoked for a long time, but today he felt particularly craving one.

After taking a few puffs, Zhao Hongjian sighed again, stubbed out his cigarette, and said to his secretary, "Can you tell me if Qin Feng has been transferred to the Public Security Bureau?"

The secretary quickly ran to the side to make a phone call, and came back a few minutes later: "Secretary Zhao, Qin Feng has been transferred to the Public Security Bureau. According to your request, Qin Feng's case is now being jointly tried by the Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate. The Procuratorate has also intervened in advance."

Zhao Hongjian asked the procuratorate to intervene in advance to prevent some people from the Public Security Department from doing anything in the Qin Feng case.

Although Zhao Hongjian is the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and is the top figure in the entire judicial system, he is a newcomer after all and has no foundation of his own in the Ganliang judicial system, so he naturally has to be more cautious.

"Tell them that I will go to the Public Security Bureau in half an hour to listen to their work report on the Qin Feng case." Zhao Hongjian said lightly.

Zhao Hongjian's appearance in the past to receive a work report was fake, and his meeting with Qin Feng was real. However, he was not an investigator and, in principle, could not meet Qin Feng, so Zhao Hongjian said he was receiving a work report.

As Zhao Hongjian walked out, he had already made up his mind. If the judicial system ultimately could not withstand the pressure from public opinion and certain provincial leaders and had to convict Qin Feng of rapism, he would have to take the last step and call his younger brother Zhao Hongkang, asking Zhao Hongkang to ask his father-in-law to come forward.

However, the favor from Zhao Hongkang's father-in-law is like a nuclear weapon, which can only be used once and is extremely powerful. Zhao Hongjian originally planned to use it when he gets a key promotion in the future, but now it concerns Qin Feng's life and death, and he can't care so much. Even if this relationship exists, there is only one chance to use it.

As Zhao Hongjian walked out of the cafeteria, the driver had already driven the car over and opened the door for him.

The car drove towards the Public Security Bureau. After a few minutes, Zhao Hongjian's cell phone rang.

That’s right, it’s Zhao Hongjian’s personal mobile phone. The information in Zhao Hongjian’s mobile phone is all about his relatives and friends, and it has nothing to do with work at all.

Zhao Hongjian has his personal cell phone in his own hands, and his work cell phone in his secretary's hands. Zhao Hongjian is a person who clearly separates work and life.

Zhao Hongjian took out his cell phone and the number displayed on it was Zhou Qian.

Zhou Qian is Qin Feng's wife, and also his brother's wife. They are naturally relatives, so the way they contacted each other was naturally through his personal mobile phone.

"Hello, Zhou Qian, what's the matter?" Zhao Hongjian asked.

"Brother, are you busy now?"

"Qin Feng has been transferred to the Provincial Public Security Bureau. I am now going to go and see him." Zhao Hongjian told the truth.

"Brother, don't go to see him for now. I have a very important situation to report to you in person. It's urgent." Zhou Qian said in a very serious tone.

……

This night was destined to be an unusual night. Just when Zhao Hongjian temporarily canceled his plan to go to the Provincial Public Security Bureau and went home to see Zhou Qian first, some people on Shazhou were also very uneasy.

Shao Hongli took the initiative to go to Yang Zhijie's villa.

Shao Hongli and Yang Zhijie have been "cooperating" for many years, but Yang Zhijie rarely comes to Shao Hongli's villa. After all, it is taboo for officials and businessmen to have close relations.

Usually, Yang Zhijie gave gifts to Shao Hongli, but today Shao Hongli personally brought a bottle of wine produced by a top French winery twenty years ago to meet Yang Zhijie. He knew that Yang Zhijie was not interested in white wine, but was fond of foreign red wine, especially the vintage wine from the top French winery.

"Deputy Mayor Shao, have you also heard any news?" Yang Zhijie was half leaning on the sofa, shaking the red wine glass in his hand. The bottle of wine that Shao Hongli brought him today was indeed extraordinary and it won his heart.

"Mr. Yang, I just got the news that the provincial party committee has studied and made a decision to remove Qin Feng from his post, expel him from the party, and transfer him to the judicial authorities. If nothing unexpected happens, a notice will be issued tomorrow morning." Shao Hongli said.

"There's nothing surprising about this. Qin Feng has been a corpse for a long time." Yang Zhijie said disdainfully.

"Yes, Qin Feng did die a long time ago, but the problem is that the province has dismissed Qin Feng from his post. The final decision on the new mayor will definitely be made in the next few days." Shao Hongli stated the ultimate purpose of his visit today.

"What? Are you afraid that our old man can't handle you becoming the mayor?" Yang Zhijie was very dissatisfied with Shao Hongli's attitude.

"No, no, no, I don't doubt Mr. Yang's intentions. I just heard that Jiang Longjun has been running to the provincial capital recently, pushing for Tang Zeyan to take over as mayor."

"Jiang Longjun is the municipal party secretary. His recommendation has a certain weight in the organizational process, and Jiang Longjun also has good connections in the province." Shao Hongli expressed his concerns.
