Qi Tongwei at the start: Not relying on Liang Lu, but winning by a single move against Heaven.

The Dongchuan Township case was a major case that shocked the whole country and was a heinous crime in the western part of the country in the 1990s.

In that case, several armed police officers sacrificed their lives, causing extremely negative consequences.

The case enraged high-ranking officials, and the criminals were swiftly suppressed.

After the incident subsided, the central government issued an order requiring the entire political and legal system to conduct internal study sessions.

As a police officer who has been working in the western border region for many years, Liu Yuntian is no stranger to this case.

He knew exactly what kind of people these were.

This group of people are not ordinary criminals; they are extremists, a bunch of lunatics.

Therefore, after hearing Qi Tongwei's guess, he was shocked and began to worry.

If this group is really related to Dongchuan Township, even if Su Lie himself were to go up against them, he might not be able to get them to talk.

When Qi Tongwei said "Dongchuan Township", he was first shocked, and then felt a deep sense of fear.

Thinking of this, he dared not delay any longer and saluted Qi Tongwei.

"County Chief Qi, I'll go back to the bureau to check on the situation. I'll take my leave now..."

......

The following morning, the entire county government was shrouded in the shadow of the "April 11th case".

The cadres seemed somewhat distracted, their expressions quite serious.

Qi Tongwei saw it all, but couldn't say anything.

This gang of thugs infiltrated Leishan and managed to capture the person, but who can guarantee that only three infiltrated?

We all have one head and one life, so it's natural to worry and be afraid.

But he knew even better that he couldn't stop doing other work just because a major case had suddenly occurred.

The case must be solved, and the road must be repaired.

Leishan needs to develop, and Qi Tongwei also needs to make progress.

Everything else can be excused, but time cannot be delayed.

May is almost here, and if we miss the best time to start construction, the road construction will have to be delayed until next year.

He called Zhao Haiyan and Li Sulin to his office to inquire about the progress of the loan and the engineering company.

Zhao Haiyan first gave a report, briefly explaining the situation of the county's Construction Bank.

"I have already contacted the county branch of China Construction Bank, and the branch manager is very cooperative and fully supportive."

"I've submitted all the loan application materials, and the county branch of China Construction Bank has no problem with them."

"But the limit has been exceeded, and the county branch of China Construction Bank doesn't have the authority to approve it; it's already been submitted to the city..."

Qi Tongwei nodded; this situation was within his expectations.

Although the head of the county branch of the Construction Bank is not under the jurisdiction of the county, his whole family lives in Leishan, so he still has to give the green light.

Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and then gave a word of advice.

"Thank you for your hard work. Keep running around and asking questions. Don't let this matter fall through."

After speaking, he looked at Li Sulin and inquired about the establishment of the engineering company.

In his subconscious, setting up an engineering company should be much easier than getting loans.

After all, the approval authority lies with the county, and we are all revolutionary comrades within the system.

A few kind words and a few phone calls from Li Sulin should be enough.

But Li Sulin's answer greatly angered him.

"It's easy to set up an engineering company, but the company needs to have construction enterprise qualifications."

"Our county doesn't have the authority to approve it; we have to wait for the provincial construction department to approve it... It will take at least six months."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei's face immediately darkened.

He has been working overtime for the past few days and hasn't had a full night's sleep.

The sudden "April 11th case," road construction, poverty alleviation...

Everything, big or small, was piled on his shoulders, making it hard for him to breathe.

Li Sulin's words became the fuse, and Qi Tongwei finally exploded.

He slammed his hand on the table and pointed at Li Sulin's nose, reprimanding him in a deep voice.

"Are all their mothers brainless?! Do they have to teach them everything little by little, step by step?"

"You've worked in the transportation bureau for so many years, you've seen it all, even if you haven't done it yourself, right?"

"Keep talking about qualifications, keep talking about qualifications, and you've been stabbing me in the back for six months... Will the road still be repaired?"

"Can't you use your brain? Will the city be able to retain the funds by next year?"

Li Sulin was stunned by his scolding; this was the first time Qi Tongwei had ever lost his temper.

He grinned, his face flushed red from the scolding, feeling somewhat aggrieved, but he dared not retort.

After venting his anger, Qi Tongwei calmed down considerably.

Upon careful consideration, he realized that Li Sulin couldn't be entirely blamed for this.

The early 1990s was a period of reshaping the relationship between the central and local governments.

Cadres in coastal and inland areas rack their brains to develop the economy, are quick-witted, and know how to adapt.

The situation is different in the west; maintaining stability is the top priority, and the mindset of the cadres there is indeed incomparable to that in the inland areas.

Getting angry is one thing, but things still need to be resolved.

Qi Tongwei sighed, tossed Li Sulin a cigarette, and said with a wry smile.

"Old Li, I apologize for my bad attitude. I've been under a lot of pressure these past few days..."

After saying that, he offered to light a cigarette for Li Sulin and continued speaking.

"This isn't your fault. The border region is different from the inland areas, and none of you have experience with it."

"In that case, go to Bianxi City Engineering Company or Bianxi Road and Bridge and register their qualifications."

He paused slightly, then decided to get straight to the point.

"We'll do the main road construction ourselves, but we'll outsource the paving."

"Whoever they let us affiliate with, you should subtly suggest that they do the road paving..."

After saying that, he patted Li Sulin on the shoulder, his words carrying a profound meaning.

"You can be a little more quick-witted, and a little bolder..."

After leaving Qi Tongwei's office, Li Sulin sighed, shook his head with a wry smile, and said...

"I never expected that County Chief Qi, at such a young age, could be even more scathing in his insults than Secretary Qin..."

Zhao Haiyan also sighed, his voice full of emotion.

Even a clay Buddha has some temper. He's definitely under too much pressure.

"The 4.11 case, road construction, poverty alleviation... he even had to oversee everything from promoting forage grass..."

......

Qi Tongwei had just returned to his office after lunch when the phone rang.

To his surprise, the call was from Liu Yuntian.

He finally heard some good news: the interrogation had yielded results.

Qi Tongwei frowned and asked softly, "These people have no connection to Dongchuan Township?"

Upon hearing his question, Liu Yuntian immediately understood what Qi Tongwei meant.

His judgment was consistent with Qi Tongwei's: if this group was related to Dongchuan Township, the interrogation would not be so easy.

He replied with a smile:

"You guessed right, they're the remnants of Dongchuan Township!"

Without further ado, he immediately explained the situation to Qi Tongwei.

"These three guys are very tight-lipped. We've tried all sorts of methods, but they haven't said a word."

"The interrogation lasted seven or eight hours, and by the end they wouldn't even speak Mandarin anymore..."

He paused slightly, chuckled twice, and continued.

"But their tight lips are useless; Alim's mouth is very loose."

"They interrogated him for an hour, tried to scare him a bit. The moment Dongchuan Township was mentioned, he collapsed in fear and confessed everything."

Qi Tongwei immediately understood and quickly asked if they had reported it to their superiors.

Liu Yuntian replied with an awkward smile.

"Not yet. We have the results, that's why we reported it to you immediately..."

After a moment's thought, Qi Tongwei gave him some advice:

"You report to the municipal political and legal department immediately. I'll go find Secretary Qin and have him report to the municipal party committee."

"This is a major breakthrough; the sooner we report it, the better..."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei went straight to Qin Xuefeng's office without delay.

Qi Tongwei gave a brief report on the latest developments in the case, which greatly pleased Qin Xuefeng.

His face was flushed as he tossed a cigarette to Qi Tongwei and said with a smile.

"If necessary, a comprehensive search can be conducted; not a single separatist should be let slip!"

Qi Tongwei didn't respond.

He first refilled Qin Xuefeng's teacup, then gently reminded him.

"There's not much need for a thorough investigation. They're trying to escape from Leishan to other countries, so four of them came."

"I think the most urgent task is to report to the municipal party committee and wait for their instructions..."

Qin Xuefeng was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

If it were a typical shooting incident, Leishan County could barely handle it.

But now that it's clearly related to Dongchuan Township, Leishan no longer has the authority to handle it.

In other words, Lei Shan can withdraw from this major case.

He gave Qi Tongwei a deep look, pointed at him, and said nothing more.

Qi Tongwei had no interest in, nor did he want to, how Qin Xuefeng reported.

He still has a ton of messy things to deal with.

After working until 8 p.m., Qi Tongwei finally managed to get some sort out of several key tasks.

He stretched his shoulders, lit a cigarette, and prepared to have a long phone conversation with Zhong Xiaoai.

But just as he was about to pick up the phone, it rang first.

He sighed, picked up the microphone, and said something out of habit.

"County Party Committee Secretary Qi Tongwei."

A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone:

"Tongwei! You're always full of surprises!"

Qi Tongwei was stunned; the call was from Wang Quanyou!
