"Was the person in charge of a project forced to suicide by some of your leaders? Is this true?"

Jiang Chuo's question had just been spoken.

The meeting hall became noisy.

Everyone looked at each other, whispering and questioning one another.

"Silence!"

Zhou Nongxin knocked on the table with his hand.

The room immediately quieted down.

He paused and said, "Governor Jiang, this matter involves some leaders, and it hasn't been made public yet. However, the Public Security Bureau has already taken corresponding measures. Once the matter is clarified, we will certainly report it truthfully to the Provincial Committee."

"Clarified? When will it be clarified? How will it be clarified?"

Jiang Chuo asked three consecutive questions.

Zhou Nongxin feigned speechlessness.

Seeing this, Jiang Chuo said, "Mayor Zhou, tell me the course of events in front of everyone."

Zhou Nongxin looked troubled.

He deliberately glanced at Peng Guoliang.

He said, "Reporting to Governor Jiang, our city is currently carrying out an urban renewal project for old districts. The deceased was Liu Zhenping, the person in charge of the project site. He had some conflict with the leaders in charge and was later taken to the police station. That night, Liu Zhenping slit his wrists and committed suicide in the station."

"Ah... How could such a thing happen?"

"I didn't know at all, did you know?"

"I've never heard of it..."

The chatter from the audience rose again.

Zhou Nongxin's words were clearly an attempt to downplay the issue.

He completely brushed over the site's problems, merely using the word "conflict," leading listeners to believe it was the leaders' fault.

"Which leader are you talking about?"

Jiang Chuo asked sternly.

Zhou Nongxin said leisurely, "The person responsible for the old district renewal project, Comrade Chen Fang!"

All were shocked.

Everyone's gaze began to wander.

Looking for Chen Fang's whereabouts.

Just moments ago, everyone thought Chen Fang had a close relationship with Jiang Chuo.

Now that the act has unfolded.

Some people understood what was happening.

There must be some fundamental conflict between Chen Fang and Jiang Chuo.

He wasn't here to investigate Xiaxiang City; he was here to trouble Chen Fang.

"Where is the Public Security Bureau Chief?"

Jiang Chuo called out.

Huang Ken stood up.

Jiang Chuo continued to ask, "Tell me, how did the deceased die? Wrist-slitting suicide? Wasn't he already arrested by your police? Where did the weapon come from?"

Huang Ken also appeared very aggrieved.

He said, "Reporting to the leadership, I was unaware of this matter beforehand. Based on the interrogation of personnel from the precinct, we learned that after the deceased was arrested that night, Deputy Mayor Chen Fang and Secretary-General Li Weiyang both illegally entered the detention area and, with the cooperation of Instructor Chen Fu, turned off the surveillance. It was during this time that the deceased Liu Zhenping died."

This statement.

Also covered part of the truth.

As soon as he finished speaking.

The noise resumed.

Chen Fang, as Deputy Mayor, illegally entered the police station's detention area and turned off the surveillance.

Regardless of whether Chen Fang killed the person or not, this process itself has significant issues.

"Comrade Chen Fang, do you have any explanation?"

Jiang Chuo suddenly shouted to the audience.

At this moment.

Chen Fang also slowly stood up.

He could have explained and even presented photos and videos of the construction site taken earlier.

But he knew.

Now, even with conclusive evidence, it's useless.

The defective products at the site were likely replaced long ago.

Those photos might just become an excuse for Chen Fang's sophistry.

"No."

He shook his head and said.

"No? So you mean Liu Zhenping's death is indeed related to you?"

When Jiang Chuo asked this,

he raised his eyebrows.

His eyes were filled with disdain and contempt.

In that superior manner, it seemed he was telling Chen Fang, in my eyes, you're just a little ant, and I can squash you anytime I want.

"I did enter the police station, but I didn't kill anyone. Liu Zhenping's death has nothing to do with me."

Chen Fang said.

Jiang Chuo looked furious.

He turned to City Secretary Peng Guoliang.

Asked, "Comrade Guoliang, what do you think of this matter? How should it be handled?"

Peng Guoliang was called by name.

He shivered a bit inwardly.

Cursing Jiang Chuo's cunning in his heart.

He clearly can give orders, but he still wants to ask Peng Guoliang.

If nothing expected happens, he wants Peng Guoliang to be the bad guy.

But what can he do?

After all, Liu Zhenping was his person.

At the moment, there's no other way; he must protect himself.

After thinking it over, he said, "Governor Jiang, since Mayor Chen is highly suspect in this matter, I suggest letting the Public Security Department detain and investigate him first."

"Did you hear that? Secretary Peng said, detain and investigate first!"

Zhou Nongxin seized the words and immediately issued an order to Public Security Bureau Chief Huang Ken.

Huang Ken seemed to have been prepared long ago.

He took out his phone, dialed a number, and straightforwardly said, "Bring in a few people."

Shortly after the call ended.

Six fully armed police officers walked in, lined up in two rows.

Huang Ken walked up to Chen Fang.

"Comrade Chen Fang, you are suspected of intentional homicide. The Xiaxiang Municipal Public Security Bureau is to arrest you and will hand you over to higher-level departments for investigation once the Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Committee intervenes. Please cooperate."

After speaking.

He received the handcuffs from one of the police officers.

As this scene unfolded.

A faint, barely noticeable smile flashed across Jiang Chuo's face.

Zhou Nongxin's expression was even more obvious.

Accomplishing this task was equivalent to making a significant contribution in front of Jiang Chuo.

Thinking of a promising future.

He couldn't help but feel a bit smug.

Moreover, with the loss Chen Fang caused him previously, now he could finally reclaim it, and he couldn't be more pleased.

In the eyes of those present.

They believed Chen Fang was doomed this time.

Even if it turns out Liu Zhenping's death was unrelated to him,

it was unlikely he could continue as Deputy Mayor.

"Wait!"

Just as Chen Fang was about to extend his hands.

A voice came from the entrance of the auditorium.

This shout.

Sent a chill through everyone's heart.

They hurriedly turned around.

And saw yet another big figure appear.

This person was none other than Zhong Yuanzai, a Provincial Committee Member, Standing Committee Member and Disciplinary Committee Secretary of Jiangdong Province.

His sudden presence made Jiang Chuo furrow his brows, and whispers resumed in the hall.

Only to see Zhong Yuanzai stroll leisurely in.

Behind him were five or six Disciplinary Committee staff members.

Seeing this.

Peng Guoliang, Zhou Nongxin, and Xiong Min hurriedly stood up.

They quickly descended from the podium.

To greet him.

Zhong Yuanzai ignored them.

Instead, he stood firmly in the middle of the aisle of the auditorium, directly facing Chen Fang.

And said, "This matter is not related to Comrade Chen Fang. There is no need to take coercive measures against him."
