Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 653 Rumors are flying everywhere

During this time, Qi Tongwei took a sip of water, paused and continued.

“It is also very important for authoritative departments to guide public opinion in a timely manner.

Of course, what is more important is that you solve the case as soon as possible and bring the person in front of the camera. That is when you will be most effective in clarifying the rumors.

Director Han, you will personally handle this case and serve as the leader of the special task force.

The local police station and the Criminal Investigation Bureau jointly formed a special task force. "

After Qi Tongwei stated his request, he stood up and prepared to leave. As he turned around, he thought of something and picked up the microphone to continue speaking.

"Director Li just said that the case will be solved before November. I hope you can give me good news before November.

that's all. "

Qi Tongwei elevated this case to a higher level and appointed Han Jingzhou as the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau to personally handle the case. Even if it failed, Li Wei's responsibility would be less. He made a random military order in front of other people. What would he do if he couldn't solve the case? If he was really punished, his career would be tarnished.

Before leaving, Qi Tongwei looked at Li Wei deeply, turned around and left. Li Wei was still standing there, sweating profusely.

In the director's office, Qi Tongwei was losing his temper.

"Old Chen, you should also pay more attention to the knocking head case.

This Old Li is so reckless. Why did he issue a military order at the accountability meeting?

He is in his forties, don't he have any brains at all?

If I really can't solve the case, I will be embarrassed and will be forced to punish him."

Chen Jin also heard about this incident. The impact of the head-knocking case on the people was much greater than imagined. Even some women in Liuhe District did not go out. If they had to walk at night, several or even dozens of people would walk together.

The criminals fled to the nearby Songhu District, where residents of Liuhe District may not go out, or when they go out there are only a dozen people. The criminals could not find an opportunity, so they fled to other districts to commit crimes. However, the spread of the case also led to the crazy spread of rumors. Now the rumors are not only spread in these two districts, but have spread to most of Jiangzhou.

Even local entertainment venues were affected and closed down, especially the hospital where the crime occurred. It admitted seven or eight victims who were hit on the head and robbed in just one month, and became a center for the spread of rumors. Li Wei lost most of his hair and lost a lot of weight in the past two months because he had not been able to catch the perpetrators.

A considerable amount of manpower and material resources were organized to conduct investigations and blockades, but the suspect could not be caught. Under long-term psychological pressure, Li Wei's action of issuing a military order was also a way to release psychological pressure, or it might be to protect the criminal police officers handling the case, who might be under even greater pressure.

Chen Jin has also served as a local bureau chief. He knows very well how much pressure these cases that affect social stability will put on public security leaders. Not only is there organizational pressure, but even the pointing and gossip of residents behind the scenes can drive the criminal police involved to death. Li Wei's move can be regarded as an excuse for the criminal police handling the case.

"Director, why not give them some time? Director Han is an experienced criminal investigator, and 903 is also a nationally renowned criminal police team. Now that we have combined the strength of the Municipal Bureau, we will definitely be able to solve the case as soon as possible."

Qi Tongwei sighed.

“Do you think I’m becoming more and more bureaucratic, always considering shirking responsibility?

But I have no choice. This system has slowly shaped me into this way.

I had thought about asking about this case last month, but at that time I thought about giving Li Wei more chances, so I kept putting it off.

This has resulted in such a serious threat to the lives and property of the people. No matter whether Han Jingzhou should be held accountable this time or not.

The Municipal Bureau couldn't possibly cover up the case any longer, so I decisively appointed Han Jingzhou to personally handle the case.

Only if he takes charge can he mobilize tens of thousands of police officers in the city.

Rumors about this case must not be allowed to spread any further and must be suppressed immediately."

Qi Tongwei was a little annoyed. Li Wei had actually kept this case secret for two months. He had never anticipated the criminal's viciousness. He committed crimes continuously in a very short period of time, and the police station was like playing whack-a-mole and couldn't grasp the key point. They could only chase after the criminal but couldn't catch him.

By the time Qi Tongwei learned about the situation, Han Jingzhou had already suppressed his anger and applied to hold the Liuhe Branch accountable at the meeting. Qi Tongwei felt that he had lost all face.

If Li Wei had reported the case to Qi Tongwei earlier, he would have remembered that this case would cause a huge uproar later, and he would have arranged for thousands of people to search for the suspect earlier. He would have believed that they would not be able to catch the suspect, instead of ending up in such a passive situation.

"Old Chen, do you think Han Jingzhou is taking this opportunity to express his dissatisfaction with the forced replacement of most of the members of the Liuhe Branch?"

Qi Tongwei had some conspiracy theories. This matter was really abnormal. It was hidden for so long that he found out about it. When Han Jingzhou brought up this matter at the meeting, Qi Tongwei was directly put on the stage. Han Jingzhou did not say that he would hold him accountable immediately, but only said that the case must be solved as soon as possible. If the case could not be solved, he would still have to hold him accountable.

What else can I say? No one said that he would be held accountable immediately. He was still given a chance. The meeting just now was also a meeting to advance the case. But if Qi Tongwei had not come, Li Wei might have been punished directly.

Qi Tongwei especially disliked the feeling of being so passive due to this kind of development. Since his rebirth, relying on his decades of experience in officialdom and his memories of the future, he had taken the initiative in doing most things. Moreover, he had succeeded in so many things, which made him more confident.

Even after coming to Jiangzhou, Qi Tongwei was very confident and casual. He was also confident in his work. It was this confidence that made him often slack off in the office. As a result, he was caught off guard by Han Jingzhou in the meeting.

Chen Jin also noticed that Qi Tongwei was in a bad mood. His boss always had everything under control. He could destroy everything with just a feather fan and a royal robe, and he could make the enemy destroy everything in the blink of an eye. He had never seen such suspicious behavior in his boss before.

According to Chen Jin's idea, although what the boss said just now sounded a bit conspiracy-theory, it should have this meaning. Last time, Qi Tongwei forcibly passed the issue of transferring most of the members of the Liuhe Branch, several deputies must have been dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to say it at the time. Now they have caught the opportunity.

However, he can't continue to dwell on this issue now. If the bureau keeps dwelling on this or that conspiracy theory, it would be putting the cart before the horse. The Public Security Bureau is a business department and its focus is still to catch the bad guys. What kind of public security bureau is it if it can't catch the bad guys?

“Boss, I think Director Han probably didn’t think so much about it. He’s a criminal investigator, so he must have received the news.

After all, Li Wei is our man. At the beginning, he tried to cover up the matter and Director Han didn't dare to say much, but later.

I personally think it’s because the case developed too quickly.”
