Chapter 2892 Is Shao Hongli dead?

"Thank you, Secretary Jiang." Qin Feng smiled at Jiang Longjun.

Jiang Longjun suddenly made a request to Qin Feng, and Qin Feng reached an agreement with Jiang Longjun on the spot.

At Jiang Longjun and Qin Feng's level, they are very clear about each other's requirements and bottom lines.

During their conversation, both of them perfectly avoided one thing: what would happen if Shao Hongli were found. They were both currently planning for the possibility that Shao Hongli had escaped, as if they had already decided that Shao Hongli had definitely run away.

Both Jiang Longjun and Qin Feng, upon hearing the news of Shao Hongli's disappearance, immediately thought that Shao Hongli must have gotten wind of it beforehand and fled. The person who provided the information was naturally the Yang family, but they didn't know how the Yang family got the information.

"Do you think Shao Hongli can escape?" Jiang Longjun asked Qin Feng.

Jiang Longjun didn't mean anything by asking this question; he was genuinely asking Qin Feng.

"I don't know. I should know better than the Party Secretary what the Yang family is thinking," Qin Feng said sarcastically. He continued, "However... you can run for a while, but you can't run forever. Whether Shao Hongli can escape depends on what the Yang family is thinking."

As Qin Feng and Jiang Longjun sat on the sofa, smoking and anxiously awaiting news, Qin Feng's phone rang first.

"Take the call, maybe we'll actually find the person," Jiang Longjun said to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng took the phone in front of Jiang Longjun; the call was from Jiang Yunpeng.

Jiang Yunpeng's direct call to Qin Feng at this time was naturally because there was news about Shao Hongli, and it was important news. If the news wasn't very important, Jiang Yunpeng wouldn't have called Qin Feng directly; he would have reported it to Chen Guohua or Zhang Xinming instead.

"Hello, what's up?" Qin Feng answered the phone.

"Mayor, Shao Hongli has been found," Jiang Yunpeng said.

"What? You really found it? That's great..." Qin Feng was so excited when he heard this that he stood up immediately.

After hearing the news of Shao Hongli's disappearance, Qin Feng thought it was almost impossible to find Shao Hongli. Since neither Shao Hongli nor the Yang family had received the news in advance, it was impossible for them to let them find him. So he had no hope of finding Shao Hongli. However, Shao Hongli's phone call was an unexpected surprise for Qin Feng.

Jiang Longjun, who most wanted to find Shao Hongli, could only rank second; Qin Feng was the first.

Qin Feng's original plan was to take Shao Hongli away smoothly. With the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection overseeing the operation, even if the Yang family had deep connections in the province, they would be severely weakened and their vitality greatly damaged. At the very least, Yang Zhijie would not be able to escape unscathed, since everyone knew about the shady dealings between Yang Zhijie and Shao Hongli.

What Qin Feng didn't expect was that the Yang family knew about this in advance and arranged for Shao Hongli to escape.

Therefore, the person who most wants to catch Shao Hongli right now is Qin Feng, which is why Qin Feng was so excited when he heard the news reported by Jiang Yunpeng.

Jiang Longjun was surprised and delighted to hear Qin Feng say that they had caught the person.

"Where is he?" Qin Feng asked hurriedly.

“It’s in a villa in Xizhuang, but…” Jiang Yunpeng stammered.

"But what?" Qin Feng asked nervously.

“The person is already dead,” Jiang Yunpeng said.

"What? Say that again?" Qin Feng's eyes widened as he yelled into the phone.

"When we and the comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission arrived here, Shao Hongli had already lost all vital signs," Jiang Yunpeng reported again.

Qin Feng stood there for several seconds before asking, "How did you die?"

Upon hearing Qin Feng mention death, Jiang Longjun, who was sitting there smoking, immediately looked up at Qin Feng, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"Based on the situation at the scene and the suicide note found, it meets the criteria for suicide, but a detailed investigation is needed to make a definitive judgment."

"A suicide note? He actually wrote a suicide note?"

"Yes, and..."

"And what? Speak your mind!" Qin Feng roared.

"The suicide note also mentioned that you and Huayang Group took over these projects. Mayor, I've had someone put the suicide note away for now, so the provincial discipline inspection commission hasn't seen it. What do you think..." Jiang Yunpeng said.

Qin Feng was stunned. He hadn't expected such a sudden situation, and he certainly hadn't expected that Shao Hongli would turn around and bite him before he died, causing him trouble.

"Who told you to put it away? Report it publicly immediately. Remember this: if you're upright, you have nothing to fear. Don't try anything underhanded; it will only hurt you, understand?" Qin Feng hung up the phone after saying this.

With Jiang Longjun right beside him, Qin Feng couldn't say many things, so he could only vaguely remind Jiang Yunpeng.

"Shao Hongli is dead?" Although Jiang Longjun couldn't hear what Jiang Yunpeng said on the phone, he could hear Qin Feng's words.

"He's dead." Qin Feng nodded.

After listening, Jiang Longjun sighed deeply, looking several years older in an instant. He and Qin Feng had been discussing whether Shao Hongli had run away, but they never imagined that Shao Hongli was actually dead.

For Jiang Longjun, Shao Hongli's escape was not the worst thing; his death was the worst thing.

One mayor had just died, and now another executive vice mayor has died. No matter how he died, the municipal party secretary must bear responsibility, and this political responsibility is far greater than simply running away.

"How did you die?" Jiang Longjun asked slowly, taking deep drags on his cigarette.

Qin Feng also sat down and started smoking.

"Our initial suspicion is suicide," Qin Feng said.

Jiang Longjun glanced at Qin Feng and said with a wry smile, "This is the only good news."

Qin Feng knew why Jiang Longjun said that; Shao Hongli's suicide would certainly be a lighter burden of responsibility than being murdered.

"Do you really think he committed suicide?" Qin Feng asked.

“Whether I agree or not is unimportant. I won’t touch this case. Do whatever you want, but you must remember what you promised me earlier,” Jiang Longjun suddenly said to Qin Feng.

Now that Shao Hongli is dead, Jiang Longjun needs Qin Feng's "support" even more.

"Secretary Jiang, rest assured, I always keep my word and never go back on my word," Qin Feng said.

After Qin Feng finished speaking, Jiang Longjun blushed slightly. He knew that Qin Feng was implying that he had broken his promises to Qin Feng several times.

"Secretary Jiang, what should we do now?" Qin Feng asked again.

"What else can we do? The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is supervising us from above, and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is overseeing things here. Let's proceed according to the normal procedures. Qin Feng, Shao Hongli works for your municipal government, so you should take the lead in resolving this matter," Jiang Longjun said to Qin Feng, sounding somewhat dejected.

Seeing Jiang Longjun like this, Qin Feng wanted to slap him. He would fight tooth and nail for anything that was profitable, but he would push things like this, which were not only unprofitable but could also cause trouble, onto others.
