Chapter 2905 is similar to the Qi Yaqiu case.

"Yes, the mayor is right. I was too narrow-minded." Feng Changjun nodded.

It should be noted that Feng Changjun was more than ten years older than Qin Feng, and had much more work experience. When Qin Feng started working, Feng Changjun was already a senior leader. But even so, Feng Changjun still had to obediently listen to Qin Feng's "teachings".

"Let's handle this matter this way. There are only two requirements: First, handle this matter properly and minimize the damage to Shazhou caused by Shao Hongli's death."

"Secondly, as I just mentioned, our municipal government certainly bears responsibility for Shao Hongli's death. We will bear the responsibility that is ours, but we cannot take the blame for others."

"Although the Standing Committee will issue a document later, it won't be too explicit. So you and the Public Security Bureau must leave yourselves a way out. You must mention that you suspect there might be a murder involved. There's a high chance this case will be overturned," Qin Feng warned.

"Don't worry, I know what to do." Feng Changjun nodded again.

Qin Feng believed in Feng Changjun, whose political maturity was beyond question.

"I know what you want to hear. I did talk to Jiang Longjun about you taking over as executive vice mayor. Jiang Longjun disagreed, but in the end he had no choice but to agree. With such a big incident, he, as the municipal party secretary, has to bear a lot of responsibility. If Secretary Zhao is not satisfied with him, he will have a hard time getting over this hurdle," Qin Feng said casually.

Qin Feng said all this to tell Feng Changjun how much he had sacrificed to get him promoted, and that Feng Changjun should be "grateful".

"Thank you for your trust, Mayor. Please rest assured, I will never let you down." Feng Changjun was very excited, his face slightly flushed.

"I will do my best to make this happen. Although I can't guarantee it will be 100% successful, it's almost certain. You also need to handle the matter of Shao Hongli's death properly. If this isn't handled well, this whole thing will definitely fall through. You should understand that."

"I understand, Mayor. Please rest assured, I will handle this matter thoroughly." Feng Changjun nodded hurriedly.

Qin Feng paused for a moment, then suddenly asked Feng Changjun, "What exactly happened to Qi Yaqiu back then?"

"Huh?" Feng Changjun looked at Qin Feng in surprise, his mind not quite processing what was happening. He hadn't expected Qin Feng to suddenly ask him about Qi Yaqiu's death.

“Mayor, I already asked you this question last time. At the time this case occurred, although I was the director of the Public Security Bureau, Chang Yunbing was actually in charge. I was not clear about the specific details of the case, nor did I participate in the specific work,” Feng Changjun said.

Qin Feng had indeed casually asked Feng Changjun once before, and Feng Changjun's answer was to push all the blame onto Chang Yunbing.

"Don't you think that Shao Hongli's death today is somewhat similar to Qi Yaqiu's death back then? At least from the perspective of Shazhou City, the nature of the incident is the same," Qin Feng said calmly.

Feng Changjun's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "What does the mayor mean?"

"Today, in dealing with the death of Shao Hongli, we are concealing the truth, covering up the murder as suicide, and minimizing the incident. This is most beneficial to us officials in Shazhou, and in fact, it is also most beneficial to the development of the entire Shazhou City."

"You said that when Qi Yaqiu had his car accident, wasn't it the same situation? Everyone probably knows that Qi Yaqiu's car accident was deliberately staged, but some of our leaders chose to collude with certain forces to change and cover up the cause of death for their own career advancement?" Qin Feng said, looking at Feng Changjun.

Feng Changjun's eyes began to flicker.

“Comrade Changjun, I agree to temporarily rule Shao Hongli’s death as a suicide because this is indeed the best situation for all sectors of Shazhou, and at present there is indeed no conclusive evidence to prove that Shao Hongli was murdered.”

"But I firmly believe that the truth about Shao Hongli's death will come to light sooner or later, and it won't be long, because the Yang family's downfall is already on the countdown."

"Once the Yang family falls, all the secrets related to the Yang family will be exposed. On that day, no one who was involved will be able to escape."

"This time I've taken precautions for you, left you a way out, but did you leave yourself a way out when Qi Yaqiu died?"

After Qin Feng finished speaking, Feng Changjun trembled all over, his eyes filled with fear.

"I just talked about the similarities between the Shao Hongli case and the Qi Yaqiu case. Now let's talk about the differences."

"The difference is that Shao Hongli was a corrupt official who seriously violated laws and regulations and was an enemy of the people. His death was deserved and he deserved to die. Therefore, not many people will speak out for him. The only risk in the Shao Hongli case comes from judicial fairness."

"But the Qi Yaqiu case is different. Qi Yaqiu is a good cadre of the people and a good comrade of the organization. Therefore, the organization will never let the Qi Yaqiu case end so unclearly. Moreover, on the day the truth of the Qi Yaqiu case comes to light, the organization will definitely deal severely with those responsible for concealing the truth of the Qi Yaqiu case."

"Because Qi Yaqiu's case involves more than just a matter of judicial fairness; it's a serious political issue. You should know the consequences of being associated with this case," Qin Feng said to Feng Changjun again.

"I've gone to great lengths to promote you to the position of executive vice mayor, and I don't want you to end up in jail after only a few days. Think it over carefully yourself, and come talk to me when you've made up your mind," Qin Feng said with a smile to Feng Changjun.

Feng Changjun nodded heavily and reluctantly to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng returned home very late that night. Although he had handed over the entire Shao Hongli case to Feng Changjun, the municipal government had much more to do than just deal with Shao Hongli. He also had to handle various issues that arose from the Shao Hongli case.

Qin Feng got home later than usual today because he had worked overtime to process several documents, and it was already past nine o'clock when he got home.

When Qin Feng returned home, Yang Yuxin's door was quiet. Unlike usual, when Yang Yuxin would open the door and smile at him when he opened it.

Qin Feng glanced at Yang Yuxin's doorway a few more times, then opened the door and went inside.

After returning to his room, Qin Feng took off his coat as usual, opened the window, and stood by the window smoking.

Qin Feng was waiting for Yang Yuxin to come in, because Yang Yuxin usually either came out when he opened the door, or she would come in to "ambush" him shortly after he got home.

But even after he finished a whole cigarette, Yang Yuxin still hadn't appeared, and Qin Feng started to have all sorts of wild thoughts.
