official career

As soon as Yan Yibin left, Qin Feng took out the mobile phone that had been in his pocket and stopped the recording button.

When Yan Yibin knocked on the door, Qin Feng saw Yan Yibin through the peephole. Qin Feng knew why Yan Yibin came to see him, so he pressed the recording button on his phone before opening the door.

In the subsequent conversation with Yan Yibin, Qin Feng deliberately guided Yan Yibin to explain many issues, and also explained many issues about Wu Zhitao.

Yan Yibin only wanted to beg Qin Feng to save him, so he was completely unprepared and said everything at once, including a lot of things about Wu Zhitao.

This form of "interrogation" is far more effective than direct interrogation, and it also solved a big problem for Qin Feng, which was the procedural issue of how to allow the Discipline Inspection Commission to intervene in a natural and orderly manner.

Qin Feng immediately took out his cell phone and called Zhang Jun: "Zhang Jun, Yan Yibin just left the Tai'an County Government Guesthouse. I have already laid bare my cards with him. There is a high probability that he will escape. Arrange someone to keep a close eye on him now."

Qin Feng then called the deputy secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and said, "I have a recording of a chat with Yan Yibin. In it, Yan Yibin confessed to many illegal and criminal issues, and there is also evidence that he bribed me. With this, you have a reason to intervene in advance, and also a reason to file a case against Yan Yibin."

"Come here now, take this recording, and apply to the Municipal Party Committee and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to put Yan Yibin under double supervision overnight. Act quickly. I have already laid my cards on Yan Yibin. He could run away at any time. I have asked the Public Security Bureau to keep an eye on him first."

After making the two calls, Qin Feng let out a long sigh of relief, and then called the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Luo Yi and Xie Zhiguo to inform them of the situation.

After coming out of the guesthouse, Yan Yibin got into his car and asked the driver to drive to the downstairs of his house as usual.

"Come pick me up a little earlier tomorrow morning. I have a lot to do and need to go to the office early." Yan Yibin instructed the secretary after getting out of the car.

"You don't have to send me upstairs today. You should go back and have some rest early." Yan Yibin took the briefcase from the secretary and went upstairs by himself. Usually, he would be sent to the door by the liaison officer.

Yan Yibin returned to the house alone, quickly closed the door, took out his cell phone and started calling his wife in Xiquan.

"Start packing your things right now. Take all your valuable jewelry and gold bars with you. Don't ask so many questions. Just pack your things. Wait for me at home. I'll be back soon." After Yan Yibin finished speaking, he hung up the phone, rushed into the room, opened the safe, and put all the gold bars and US dollars in the safe into his backpack.

Yan Yibin changed his suit into a T-shirt and jeans that he almost never wore, put on a baseball cap, put on the backpack full of "money", and quietly opened the door.

Yan Yibin did not take the elevator, but walked into the dark stairs, then went down from the 17th floor on foot, and then quietly slipped out of the apartment building through a blind spot of surveillance, then walked out of the residential community and came to the next community.

Not long after, a Land Rover drove out from the neighboring community and rushed towards Xiquan. Two people smoking in a car on the road watched the Land Rover speed away without any doubt. These two people were among those sent by the Municipal Public Security Bureau to monitor Yan Yibin.

Not long after Yan Yibin drove out, several people came to the door of Yan Yibin's house. Several people made gestures at the door of Yan Yibin's house, and then they divided into two groups upstairs and downstairs, hiding in the dark and staring at the door of Yan Yibin's house.

Qin Feng called Luo Yi and Xie Zhiguo in the room to report the situation, and then called Hu Jiayun back.

Hu Jiayun called Qin Feng after get off work, but Qin Feng hung up the phone because he was too busy. He only had time to call Hu Jiayun back now.

Qin Feng chatted with Hu Jiayun for a while, and after hanging up the phone, he started a video call with Zhou Qian.

It’s just that because I started the video call too late and my daughter Qin Zhouqi was already asleep, I couldn’t chat with her. I held the phone and chatted with Zhou Qian for a long time.

After finishing all this, Qin Feng felt sleepy, so he washed his face and feet, took off his clothes and went to bed. But before going to bed, Qin Feng was worried and called Zhang Jun again.

"Is there any movement from Yan Yibin?" Qin Feng asked.

"I'll call and ask now, and then report to you." Zhang Jun said quickly.

Qin Feng did not blame Zhang Jun. As the director of a public security bureau of such a high status, it was impossible for Zhang Jun to be personally responsible for such work as surveillance and follow-up, so he had no way of knowing the specific situation.

More than ten minutes later, Zhang Jun called.

"Mayor Qin, Yan Yibin went back home and hasn't come out since." Zhang Jun replied.

"Are you sure he has returned home?" Qin Feng asked doubtfully.

"This is confirmed. The comrade in charge told me that the person he arranged to follow saw Yan Yibin enter the corridor with his own eyes."

Hearing this, Qin Feng looked at the time. Two hours had passed since Yan Yibin left here. According to common sense, Yan Yibin would definitely take action, because he already knew that Qin Feng would never let him go, so he gave up the idea. The investigation team over there had already started working overtime tonight. If nothing unexpected happened, they would find out the problem tomorrow, and then the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection would intervene. What awaits him after that is lifelong imprisonment.

So for Yan Yibin, if he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life in prison, his only chance is to escape tonight. If he doesn't escape tonight, he will never have another chance to escape.

If one wants to escape, the sooner the better. The sooner one escapes, the farther and safer one will be. Therefore, Qin Feng concluded that Yan Yibin would escape immediately after returning. It was for this reason that Qin Feng did not wait for the Discipline Inspection Commission to complete the procedures before taking Yan Yibin away legally and compliantly, but asked the Municipal Public Security Bureau to keep an eye on him first.

And now Yan Yibin has been home for two hours and has not gone out yet. This is obviously different from what Qin Feng expected. Qin Feng couldn't help feeling confused.

"Are the lights in his house on?" Qin Feng asked.

"I'll ask again."

"Find out about this matter. Ask whether the lights in Yan Yibin's house were turned on, when they were turned on, and when they were turned off."

A few minutes later, Zhang Jun called and said, "The lights in Yan Yibin's house have been turned off all the time."

"Always closed?"

"Yes, according to them, the lights in Yan Yibin's house have been turned off since they started monitoring his home. This is what we saw from the building opposite. The lights were not on, not because we couldn't see because the curtains were drawn." Zhang Jun replied.

"Zhang Jun, something is wrong." Qin Feng muttered.
