Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 705 Wen Qiang’s Request

December 29th, Tuesday, sunny.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the inspection team formed by the Beishan Municipal Government set off for Wenshan in a mighty procession.

Due to the instigation of Qi Tongwei and He Anxia, ​​Qiao Shan's death did not cause much waves in Beishan.

Even the provincial government only made a routine inquiry and stopped paying attention.

Everyone just thought that the other party was a complete unlucky guy as written in the announcement of the Municipal Party Committee, who fell into the water and drowned while fishing when he was about to be promoted to the director of the municipal bureau.

This is also one of the advantages of this era, it is easier to keep a lid on things.

If it were in the future, as soon as a deputy mayor of a county-level city drowned, rumors and conspiracies would fly all over the Internet, such as circuit breaker and silencing.

Although it was announced to the public that the other party fell into the water accidentally, it was just normal and stable work. In fact, the investigation has just begun.

In the Coaster, Qi Tongwei was talking on the phone with Xiao Long.

Based on yesterday's overtime investigation, the investigation team initially determined that Qiao Shan most likely fell into the water by accident.

Qi Tongwei raised his doubts: "Didn't he bring a secretary, a driver, or anything like that?"

Xiao Long said: "Yes, he took the driver with him. The driver helped him at first. Later, Qiao Shan said he wanted to eat crispy beef, so he sent the driver to buy some. When the driver came back, he found that he had drowned."

This instantly made Qi Tongwei alert.

His official code of conduct is that there are no coincidences in officialdom.

How could it be such a coincidence that the driver drowned just after leaving the other party?

Is there some hidden secret hidden in this? Could it really be a fuse?

"Are there any witnesses nearby?" Qi Tongwei asked.

"No, according to the investigation, Qiao Shan is a domineering person. He will never allow anyone else to fish where he wants to fish. There are even no-fishing signs in those places. I heard that he specifically asked the relevant departments to put them up. Others dare not fish there, and sometimes they will be severely punished if they just pass by there."

Qi Tongwei snorted coldly: "What a powerful official.

"Old Xiao, you have to hurry up and reorganize the team. I don't want our public security team to become the lackeys and accomplices of these corrupt officials!" He paused and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this driver?"

"Probably not. I called in a polygraph expert, and he said the other party was not lying.

My guess is that the other party was not lying, because the driver was Qiao Shan's distant cousin, an honest man, who Qiao Shan specially found from his hometown. He had someone teach him how to drive and he became his personal driver.

And you know, anyone who can choose to be a driver will have a high level of trustworthiness."

Qi Tongwei nodded and continued to ask: "Did the driver say anything unusual about Qiao Shan, such as being depressed, or did he see anyone or receive any phone calls while fishing?"

Xiao Long replied, "No, the driver said Qiao Shan was in a good mood these past two days. He did receive quite a few calls while fishing, but they were mostly about work or congratulating him on his promotion to director. However..."

"But what?"

"However, the driver said Qiao Shan wasn't happy about his promotion to director. He even complained to others before the incident, saying he spent so much money but didn't become mayor, which was a huge loss."

Buying and selling official positions is not uncommon in Beishan and even in Hanjiang. Before, someone with connections came to Qi Tongwei and was scolded by him.

Qi Tongwei has always turned a blind eye to this kind of situation. This is the prevailing trend everywhere now. If you don't run after officials, you can forget about getting promoted. If there is no system, he would probably not be slow in running after officials either.

All he has to do is divide the cake among everyone and take the biggest share. As for the price of other people's cakes, he never interferes.

After all, he is not Bao Qingtian, and he cannot rule out all the problems in the world.

"Are there any other situations?"

"It's gone for now."

Qi Tongwei instructed, "Well, don't worry about other things for now. I just want to know whether it was an accident. Your investigation should focus on this." Then he suddenly asked, "By the way, you just said that he designated that area as his own fishing area. Does he have a fixed time for fishing?"

Xiao Long replied, "Yes, he fishes a few times on weekends when he has nothing to do." Then he thought again, "You mean, there's someone guarding there?"

"I'm just guessing. If you want to investigate more specifically, check the environment near where he was fishing, and also investigate Qiao Shan's work situation in Haikou."

Xiao Long agreed, "I'll arrange it right away."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei went over the message in his mind again.

He felt there was a high possibility that the other party had been killed.

Because Xiao Long provided two contradictory points for being killed.

First, from the domineering behavior of fishing, it can be concluded that the deputy mayor is of low official character.

Oppressing the people may be the norm, which may cause public outrage and lead to murders in passion.

Second, he complained that he hadn't been promoted to mayor and had spent a lot of money. Who did he spend the money on? Duan Feng?

The face of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary appeared in front of Qi Tongwei's eyes. The other party gave him the impression of being a bit cowardly and not like the type of person who would do such a thing.

However, nothing is absolute in this world, and we can only know after further investigation.

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhu Hongwen, who was sitting in the back row, poked his head out and said, "Mayor, I have something I want to report to you. Is this convenient for you?"

Zhu Hongwen is in charge of the rotation system and the promotion of performance appraisal work. How can he go to Gulun County to study without the other party?

Qi Tongwei nodded and motioned the other party to sit next to him.

Zhu Hongwen obediently changed his position, leaned over, and reported in a low voice about the work of contacting Zhao Sanben for advertising.

According to the previous plan, in order to get along with Zhao Sanben, he had to first defeat Wen Qiang, the deputy director of the Public Security Department.

The work of conquering Wen Qiang went smoothly at the beginning. Both of them were at the deputy department level, and there was no unequal dialogue.

After several times of eating, drinking and having fun, with Zhu Hongwen's deliberate flattery, the relationship between the two gradually improved.

When Zhu Hongwen offered to help, the latter readily agreed, but put forward a small condition.

Wen Qiang heard that Qi Tongwei's wife was a big CEO in Hong Kong Island, and hoped that the other party could invite a few female stars to hold a concert in Hanjiang.

Before conquering Wen Qiang, Zhu Hongwen had done a lot of work and knew that this deputy director was a lustful person.

It’s called a concert, but it’s actually all a gimmick. Any man knows what Wen Qiang wants to do.

After hearing this, Qi Tongwei didn't think it was a difficult problem.

Stars are out of reach for ordinary people, but to him they are just ladies who are a little more expensive.

The entertainment industry, female celebrities, these people don’t understand, but Qi Tongwei doesn’t understand either. As long as the price is right, these female celebrities can still do it with mutual consent.

However, he knew that others did not know this. They only thought that these female stars were goddesses, unattainable, and Wen Qiang was one of them.

The Han River is located in the north, far away from Hong Kong Island. Even if he is the governor, he cannot reach there.

I thought it would only cost some money to invite a few willing stars, and as long as I could get Zhao Sanben, it would be worth it.

"The concert is fine, but I hope he can lower the price for us. Two hundred million yuan for an endorsement is too expensive. The most we can offer is one hundred and fifty million yuan!"

"Cut off 50 million? Wouldn't that be a bit difficult?"

Qi Tongwei said: "There has to be some benefit. Inviting a Hong Kong star to hold a concert is not cheap. You should talk to him properly."

Zhu Hongwen thought about it and realized that it was true. He had just returned from that place last year. In the eyes of mainlanders, it was a place full of gold. How could the price of a female star from that place be low?

"Then shall I go and communicate with him?"

"Well, we need to do it as soon as possible. The New Year is only a little over a month away. Don't waste too much time on this matter. I need to get Zhao Sanben's contract within half a month."

Zhu Hongwen hesitated for a moment and warned, "I'm afraid the other party won't sign the contract. After all...it involves China Power."

"I'll do my best to make it happen. It doesn't matter if there's a contract or not. The main thing is to make sure the other party agrees. I don't want to miss this great opportunity."

"Yes!"
