Chapter 2663 Political Case

"So the Jiang Longjun's weak spot is the Nanshan New District. I realized this the last time we were causing trouble in Liujia Village and the Jiang Longjun acted uncharacteristically and supported Qin Feng behind the scenes to oppose us."

"Since Nanshan New District is the weak point of Jiang Longjun, let's use Nanshan New District to make a deal with Jiang Longjun. In my opinion, Jiang Longjun is much more aware of the current situation than Qin Feng and is easier to deal with." Ding Haiyang said with a smile.

……

Jiang Yunpeng was the first one called to the office by Qin Feng, because Chen Guohua still needed to deal with some matters related to Qin Feng's return.

"Mayor, I made the mistake of being complacent when arresting the suspect in the Liu Xiaonan case. I could have been faster and had the team members be more cautious. The outcome might have been different."

"But I believe I've already made sufficient preparations in secret, and the other party will definitely not act so quickly. My actions will definitely catch them off guard, so it's absolutely foolproof."

"In the final analysis, it was because I didn't know my opponent well enough. I didn't expect him to be so powerful, which led to this incident."

Although Qin Feng never blamed Jiang Yunpeng, Jiang Yunpeng was still brooding over the matter. He had been locking himself in the office for the entire day to reflect on himself.

Qin Feng didn't comment on Jiang Yunpeng's self-criticism. Instead, he changed the subject and asked Jiang Yunpeng, "How's the investigation going on with the cases that happened the night before last? What's the latest progress?"

As Qin Feng spoke, he threw a cigarette to Jiang Yunpeng and lit one for himself.

"We have found evidence that the fire was caused by a gas leak, and tests have shown that several of the deceased did not die from the fire but from gas poisoning. However, we have no evidence to prove that it was man-made, which means that we are currently unable to classify this case as a criminal case."

"In the other two cases, the suspect in the hit-and-run incident has been apprehended, but during interrogation he insisted it was an operator error. Our investigation has not found any connection between him and the victim, and we cannot find a motive for the crime."

"Another vicious murder case was much simpler. The suspect was caught on the spot, but he had taken DP and insisted that he killed people because he was hallucinating."

"These cases are currently in a dilemma, but don't worry, I will definitely find a way to solve these cases and find out the real culprit behind the scenes." Jiang Yunpeng said.

"The cases must be solved. These cases have had a huge impact. I've seen people discussing this, especially the one where someone attacked someone with a knife in a public place. It's caused panic among the public. We must solve the case as soon as possible, and we must increase publicity efforts to reassure the public."

"As for what you said about finding out the real culprit behind the scenes...that is your Public Security Bureau's own job, and you don't need to report to me." Qin Feng paused here.

Qin Feng still has the art of speaking of a leader. He would not tell Jiang Yunpeng that there is no need to find the real culprit behind the scenes, which is politically incorrect. Instead, he said that this is the business of their Public Security Bureau, implying that he has no intention of finding the real culprit behind the scenes.

Jiang Yunpeng was a little surprised.

"I know what you're thinking, Comrade Yunpeng. Again, don't blame yourself. This isn't your fault. Even if your people had gone earlier, they might not have caught the perpetrator. Even if they had, they might not have been able to bring him to justice. Even if you could come forward, it would still be difficult to uncover the true culprit."

"On the surface, this case is a criminal case, but behind the scenes it's actually a political case. You can investigate a criminal case, but can you investigate a political case?"

"This case will ultimately remain an unsolved case because the political timing for handling it is not yet ripe, so... speed up the investigation, but don't put too much energy into it. They are obviously trying to silence people, and since they are trying to silence them, it will be impossible for you to find evidence implicating them." Qin Feng said slowly.

"Let's just let this matter go. There's no need to waste time on it." Qin Feng finally decided.

Although Jiang Yunpeng was somewhat unwilling, he still nodded.

"What's new at the Public Security Bureau recently? How is Feng Changjun doing recently?" Qin Feng asked meaningfully, leaning back in his chair.

Jiang Yunpeng looked at Qin Feng in some astonishment. He was not stupid, so of course he understood what Qin Feng was asking.

"Deputy Mayor Feng...his attitude has changed recently. He has started to personally inquire about all aspects of the work of the Public Security Bureau, and he has been very strict with us. He has also been more stringent with us." Jiang Yunpeng's answer was both obscure and direct.

Qin Feng nodded and said, "I guessed it. Tell me a few honest words today. What do you think of Feng Changjun? Does he support your work, or is he secretly hindering it?"

Qin Feng's words were so direct that Jiang Yunpeng couldn't be subtle anymore. He replied, "Mayor, Deputy Mayor Feng is the director after all. Although he has your support, he doesn't dare to attack me too openly, but there's no room for two tigers in one mountain. He has been secretly restraining me all the time. For example, some important personnel matters and the financial power of the entire municipal bureau are in his hands."

"When you were here, he was more subtle in his attempts to hinder me. But after you got into trouble this time, he completely dropped his disguise and openly suppressed me. He's been making big moves within the Public Security Bureau lately, and it's really making me uncomfortable."

If Qin Feng hadn't asked, Jiang Yunpeng wouldn't have dared to go to Qin Feng and complain about Feng Changjun, because he knew Feng Changjun's status. So even though he had been very dissatisfied with Feng Changjun before, he had never complained to Qin Feng and always spoke well of Feng Changjun.

But today, Qin Feng took the initiative to ask this question, and Jiang Yunpeng naturally understood that the opportunity had come, so he naturally no longer had any reservations.

Qin Feng was not surprised at all. He leaned back in his chair, smoking a cigarette, and smiled, saying, "This is reasonable and understandable."

After the last incident, Feng Changjun did lean from Jiang Longjun to Qin Feng's side, but Feng Changjun still played a balancing tactic between Jiang Longjun and Qin Feng, favoring both of them and not offending either of them. But after all, Feng Changjun was still a member of Jiang Longjun, because Jiang Longjun's power was incomparable to Qin Feng.

In fact, Jiang Longjun has always had ideas about the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and has been secretly asking Feng Changjun to take control of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Feng Changjun did not dare to disobey Jiang Longjun, so he always firmly controlled the important personnel and financial powers of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, but he did not dare to offend Qin Feng, so he did not interfere with Jiang Yunpeng's business.

But this time Qin Feng got into trouble, and Feng Changjun thought Qin Feng was doomed, so he completely turned to Jiang Longjun. In order to show his loyalty to Jiang Longjun, he made some big moves in the Municipal Public Security Bureau, pointing the finger at Jiang Yunpeng.
