A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

Chapter 106 Another Mystery

Sun Huashan heard Zhang Xingkai's voice and felt somewhat weak and listless.

So he asked.

"Xingkai? What's wrong? What happened?"

Hearing Sun Huashan's voice at that moment, Zhang Xingkai felt an extraordinary sense of warmth.

"Governor Sun, something terrible has happened to me!"

As Zhang Xingkai spoke, he couldn't control his emotions and started crying.

Sun Huashan became somewhat nervous upon hearing Zhang Xingkai's reaction over the phone.

"What's wrong? Xingkai, are you being investigated?"

After saying this, Sun Huashan thought about it and realized that it shouldn't be like this.

If someone investigates, how could he possibly have time to call himself?

That phone should have been confiscated a long time ago, right?

"Governor Sun! I'm finished!"

Zhang Xingkai became more and more emotional as he spoke, and he cried with snot and tears streaming down his face.

Sun Huashan on the other end of the phone was completely bewildered by "290".

"Xingkai, calm down. Tell me, what's wrong with you?"

"Governor Sun, I just met with Qi Tongwei, and he really removed me from my post?"

"What?! Qi Tongwei dismissed you? On what grounds?"

Clearly, Sun Huashan was also quite surprised to hear Zhang Xingkai's words.

“Governor Sun, just because he made a phone call to Secretary Zhao Lichun, he actually asked me to work at the grassroots level of the Hukou City Procuratorate.”

"Qi Tongwei dismissed you simply by making a phone call to Zhao Lichun?"

Sun Huashan's voice at this moment did not sound like he was concerned about Zhang Xingkai's condition.

It's more like they're confirming something.

"That's right, Governor Sun. Zhao Lichun told Qi Tongwei that from now on, for any cadre-related issues, Qi Tongwei's secretary can just send a text message to Li Dakang, and Zhao Lichun will agree to any appointment or removal. Moreover, he even invited Qi Tongwei to his home for dinner!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Huashan couldn't help but gasp.

I've already prepared everything for Chang Hong and her daughter, but Zhao Lichun beat me to it?

What level is Zhao Lichun at? He's still trying to get close to Qi Tongwei.

I can't wait any longer; I have to take action quickly.

"Alright, you should work hard in Hukou City. Actually, it's good to get some experience at the grassroots level; you can learn a lot there."

Upon hearing Sun Huashan's reply, Zhang Xingkai could hardly believe it.

"Governor Sun, what did you say?"

"Xingkai, in Handong Province, once Secretary Zhao Lichun has made a decision, who can change it? That's all for now, I have another meeting in a bit."

At this point, Sun Huashan hung up the phone.

Zhang Xingkai heard no sound from the phone. He picked it up and saw that it had been hung up.

What do you mean? The employers and employees spend so much money on him every year, and now they're just going to ignore it when something goes wrong?

If you won't let me live a good life, I won't let you live a good life either!

Yes, I'm going to the Anti-Corruption Bureau, I'm going to find Sha Ruijin, I'm going to report you!

Thinking of this, Zhang Xingkai, who had been completely exhausted, suddenly seemed to be filled with strength again.

He quickly stood up and walked towards the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Inside the office of Han Ming, the head of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Police Department of Handong Province.

Jiang Guangming looked at Han Ming in front of him and curled his lip.

"Captain Han, I don't think you've come up with any solutions to this case either. Why don't you go and ask Governor Qi for help?"

Han Ming's face turned ugly after hearing Jiang Guangming's words.

"No, I'm not going. I'm determined to handle this case myself!"

When Jiang Guangming heard Han Ming say that, he put on a helpless expression.

"Captain Han, I know. You want to get the position of deputy director of our provincial department, but you're afraid that if you keep going to Governor Qi, he'll think you're not capable enough. But let me tell you, our Governor Qi likes people who are completely open with him the most. Why don't you give it a try?"

Hearing the word "open your heart," Han Ming felt nauseous.

Because the case he's currently handling is one that requires a complete and honest investigation.

However, Han Ming was still very interested in what Jiang Guangming said.

Are you serious?

Jiang Guangming nodded.

"That's right. In our provincial department, who knows Governor Qi better than me!"

"Stop bragging. Let alone in the provincial department, even in our own Criminal Investigation Division, there are two like that. Lü Lingling and Zhou Shutong, tell me, which of these two doesn't know Governor Qi?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Guangming's expression turned slightly unpleasant.

"So what? I'm one of them too! Besides, even though I haven't known Governor Qi as long as Lü Lingling, haven't I known him as long as Zhou Shutong?"

"Comrade Guangming, you know what, this kind of thing really has nothing to do with the length of time. Even though you and Lü Lingling have known Governor Qi longer, look, it's not the two of you who's constantly around him now, it's Zhou Shutong..."

Jiang Guangming was a little unhappy when he heard Han Ming's words, because what Han Ming said made no mistake; it was the truth.

But whether it's true or not, Jiang Guangming doesn't want to hear it anyway.

"Come on, stop talking nonsense! Do you even want a promotion? As for Governor Qi, take it or leave it!"

After saying that, Jiang Guangming didn't bother with Han Ming anymore and turned to leave Han Ming's office.

Han Ming sat in the room and let out a long sigh of relief.

How could Han Ming not want a promotion? Of course he wanted a promotion.

Although Qi Tongwei is currently the vice governor and director of a provincial department, it is generally the vice governor who also serves as the director of a provincial department.

However, as is customary in the provincial department, there will also be an executive deputy director in charge of the daily work.

Because, after all, Qi Tongwei is now in charge of more than just the Provincial Police Department.

There's no time to manage the provincial department's work in full.

Currently, the position of deputy director in charge of Han Ming's Criminal Investigation Corps, formerly held by Qi Tongwei, is still vacant.

The position of Executive Deputy Director of the Provincial Department is actually equivalent to that of a full-fledged department head.

That is, the position that Liu Jianhua and Liu Yuyan have been hoping for is now vacant.

To put it bluntly, if Han Ming, the head of the Criminal Investigation Division, were to go and report to Qi Tongwei...

Actually, according to the regulations, there are two levels above it.

Also, there's Zhang Lei, the head of the anti-drug squad in the drug-making village, who was shot several times just now and risked his life to kill him on Lone Eagle Ridge.

He's also eyeing his position as deputy director (1.7th floor) now, and he's worried that if he doesn't try to get closer to Qi Tongwei...

They were also afraid that Zhang Lei would beat them to it.

Thinking of this, Han Mingchoedly grabbed his hair.

After a while, he looked at the case on the table again.

After looking at it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out.

Actually, this case has been dragging on for almost a week.

To put it bluntly, it's another complicated and difficult case.

Is it really as Jiang Guangming said, that I'm worrying too much?

Should we take the plunge?

Thinking of this, Han Ming took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision.

Then, I stood up and tidied up the case files and materials on the table.

He said something.

"do my best!"

He then opened the door and walked out of the office.

Chapter 107: A DNA comparison with Guo Lifu will clarify things.

Qi Tongwei's office at the Police Department of Handong Province.

At this moment, Qi Tongwei was standing by the window, considering the next steps in the appointment of cadres in the provincial department.

The position of executive deputy director in the police department has indeed been vacant for far too long.

Both Liu Jianhua and Liu Yuyan had expressed their interest in him and hoped to get that position.

If Qi Tongwei is willing, there will definitely be no problem getting these two people into the Qi family gang.

The problem is, both of them are 59 years old.

Normally, cadres retire around the age of 60.

The top leader at the vice-ministerial level, such as a vice-ministerial level official in a provincial procuratorate, can retire at the age of 62.

The provincial discipline inspection commission secretary is a special case; they can retire at 63.

For ministerial-level officials, such as Zhao Lichun and Liu Linzong, the retirement age requirement is 65.

Although it's not like you're exempted immediately once you reach a certain grade level.

However, once the time comes, they will no longer be eligible for promotion or transfer.

Therefore, Liu Jianhua and Liu Yuyan are too old, and promoting them would not benefit the Qi family gang at all.
