Chapter 129 I know nothing
"Director Wen, ask him again how his men are doing with the investigation?"
After the reward notice was posted, did anyone come forward with any leads?
Zheng Zhiguo snapped out of his thoughts and prepared to prove himself useful through concrete actions.
Instead of being afraid, let's do something worthwhile.
Director Wen of the Wufeng County Public Security Bureau put down his thermos and had no choice but to go outside again to inquire about the situation.
Tonight, the police officers in Wufeng County also suffered a lot, with most of them being asked by Director Wen to stay and work overtime.
Judging from the development of events tonight, the Provincial Public Security Department should be paying close attention to Yuanshan County. Old Wen had no choice but to get involved.
I'm afraid that if the provincial authorities hold them accountable in the future, Zheng Zhigu will shift the blame to Wufeng County, saying that the Wufeng County Public Security Bureau did not do its job.
When Director Wen came out to inquire about the situation, it turned out that a member of the public had indeed come to report it.
They said they saw a car pass by the lame man's repair shop around the time of the incident, and then the car drove onto the village road and headed towards Meicheng.
The crowd didn't remember the license plate, but they did remember what the car looked like.
Based on his description, the police quickly identified two car models, found pictures of them online, and helped the helpful citizen identify them.
The other party pointed to one of the white Changan Star vans.
"This is the car; it's exactly the same as the one I saw."
After selecting the car model.
Old Wen immediately summoned Zheng Zhiguo.
Director Zheng immediately contacted the leaders of the Municipal Bureau to check all the surveillance footage in the city and identify all the white Chang'an Star vans that entered the city during the time period after the incident.
"Boss, where do I collect the reward?" the villager who provided the clue asked with great concern.
Old Wen nudged Zheng Zhiguo with his elbow, signaling him to respond.
Zheng Zhiguo gritted his teeth and went over, calling his fellow villager aside and handing him his business card.
"I am Zheng Zhiguo, the director of the Public Security Bureau of Yuanshan County."
Contact me later.
What about the bounty...?
That's how it is; we need to catch the suspect first before we can determine if your lead is valuable.
"Once we catch him, we'll put a reward on him."
Trusting the authorities, the villager accepted the business card, asking, "When will they catch the person? When will they be able to confirm whether my leads are valuable?"
All I can say is, as soon as possible.
Fellow villager, thank you, you can go back now.
I will let you know if there is any further news.
You can call me every now and then to ask.
The fellow villager thanked him repeatedly before leaving.
It was late at night when fellow villagers came to offer clues, which was risky, but Zheng Zhiguo felt uneasy and guilty because he couldn't afford to pay them.
I was originally planning to just renege on the agreement.
But look at that fellow villager, he was riding a bicycle when he left, and it was drizzling outside.
He felt really bad about it, so he called Wu Maocai.
"What's wrong, Director Zheng? Is there any news about those assassins in Xiaotang Town?" Wu Maocai had just fallen asleep and was woken up, but he wasn't angry. He went out to the balcony to answer the phone.
"We've got a lead... It's like this, the bureau is short on funds for handling cases."
Could you help me coordinate this?
"Have County Chief Chen put in a word with the county finance department and try to secure some funds to support this."
Wu Maocai was displeased upon hearing this: "What's the state of the county's finances? Others may not know, but don't you?"
Where will the government get the money?
The funds allocated for the construction of the irrigation canal in Shangmin Town were misappropriated.
Besides, the case was handled haphazardly, and County Chief Chen had one accident after another, almost losing his life. How could I have the face to ask the county chief for this?
"Go and say it yourself."
Wu Maocai angrily hung up the phone.
Zheng Zhiguo, a person from the Finance Bureau, couldn't get a word in edgewise; his attempts to reason with him were useless.
After thinking it over and over...
He jogged after him, took out all the money he had on him, and gave the fellow villager more than 800 yuan.
"this……"
"This is a personal gift from me. Keep it for now. I can't let you go to all this trouble for nothing. If the clues prove to be valuable later, I'll apply for a reward for you. The exact amount... will depend on the circumstances."
"Okay, okay." The fellow villager happily accepted it: "I didn't really want to come."
As you know, this kind of thing can easily cause trouble, and you're afraid of retaliation.
My wife said, "We should trust the government."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Zhiguo felt instantly more important.
"Your spouse is right, you should trust the government."
The saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red."
Zheng Zhiguo would never do something like that.
Unconsciously, he was getting closer to David, hoping that one day David would recognize and praise him, and then he would feel it was worth it no matter how much money it cost.
……
Yuanshan County Town.
Secretary Tan of Xiaotang Town drove to the building where Zheng Zhiguo lived.
Zheng Zhiguo didn't answer the phone after several attempts.
Helpless.
Secretary Tan had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the entrance of Zhou Xiangzhang's villa, where he dialed Zhou Xiangzhang's number.
The other party answered.
Secretary Tan explained the situation in Xiaotang Town.
"Was it arranged by the provincial department?" Zhou Xiangzhang asked in surprise.
"That's what Zheng Zhiguo said."
Zhou Xiangzhang sat on the bed, rubbing her temples: "Then it's no use you coming to me."
"Secretary Xiangzhang, who should I look for then?"
"You don't need to look for anyone, just go back," Zhou Xiangzhang said helplessly. "Clean up all the accounts and stuff."
Make sure to greet the people in town.
Skim off as much as possible.
If you can't really absolve yourself of responsibility, you need to do your job properly and step forward to take responsibility.
This time, someone definitely has to go in.
Secretary Tan wiped the sweat from his brow, his face full of unease: "Secretary Xiangzhang, is there really no other way?"
"You shouldn't have come to me. After something like this happened, I should have been avoiding you. Why did you have to come forward like this? Do you really think laws and regulations are just for show?"
"Without these hot spring resorts, what will the town eat? Where will the money come from...?"
"Other towns don't have this problem, but they're still doing just fine."
"Secretary Xiangzhang, why don't you give Mayor Chen a call?"
Zhou Xiangzhang was getting angry. This person was really clueless. She had already explained things to this extent, but he still couldn't understand.
Something has happened, and that's that.
The fact that the provincial department has taken action indicates that there is a power struggle among the provincial leadership.
What's the point of finding Chen Tiecai?
The hot springs in Xiaotang Town have been around for almost twenty years. Everyone knows that it's a money pit and a place where you can make money quickly.
Why did this happen at this time?
This means that someone in the province is trying to use this incident to their advantage and make trouble for someone.
If you approached Chen Tiecai at this point, you'd only get a scolding, and nobody would dare touch the matter.
"You can hit me if you want, I won't."
You didn't contact me tonight, and I didn't speak to you either.
I know nothing about the hot springs in Xiaotang Town.
Zhou Xiangzhang forcibly severed ties with him.
Anyway, he hadn't experienced any of the benefits here before.
He didn't know, nor did he want to know, how much money Zhou Dongliang and Chen Wei had secretly made in Xiaotang Town.
Secretary Tan looked at the phone with a bitter expression; how could he dare to call Chen Tiecai?
He has the phone number, but when you call, the person might not even recognize him.
Looking towards the urban garden in the distance.
A terrible idea popped into his head: he might as well go find County Magistrate Chen.
They all say that County Chief Chen is a man of Minister Xu in the province. Minister Xu is a powerful figure in the province and has a good private relationship with Vice Governor Qin and others.
It is rumored that Xu Aiguo also has connections in Kyoto.
If County Chief Chen could put in a good word and exert some influence, perhaps the hot spring industry in Xiaotang Town could still be saved.
Those who are arrested may receive a lighter sentence.
However, by hiring Chen Dawei, he offended Zhou Xiangzhang, which was tantamount to tacitly withdrawing from Zhou Xiangzhang's camp.
Old Tan hesitated.
