After my rebirth, I became the son-in-law of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary

Zhou Yi noticed the look from the municipal party secretary, and as smart as he was, he immediately realized that the other party must have misunderstood.

I swear to God, he and Lu Jiefeng really didn't arrange any secret codes in advance, and he didn't say to Lu Jiefeng "follow my instructions" or anything like that.

The scene just now was just a small coincidence.

He happened to be thirsty, so he picked up the cup and drank some water. It was also after he drank the water that Lu Jiefeng remembered Shang Xinfeng's suicide by jumping off the building, so he started to speak.

The secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission looked at the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee with an innocent face - do you believe my explanation?

The municipal party secretary gave the discipline inspection committee secretary a sarcastic smile in return - do you think I believe it or not?

Fu Xueqin was 100% certain that this was something the two had discussed in advance. Before the meeting ended, Lu Jiefeng, the mayor, would bring up the topic and embarrass him about the Shang Xinfeng case.

"Comrade Jiefeng, is there any problem with this case?" Fu Xuefeng asked coldly.

If any other member of the Standing Committee had raised an objection, he would have simply said "let's discuss it later" and the other party would not dare to get angry at all, but Lu Jiefeng was at the same level as him after all, and he could not stop him from speaking.

"At about 10:40 yesterday morning, Shang Xinfeng jumped from the third floor of the Discipline Inspection Commission's case handling center. I don't know if Secretary Fu and everyone here know about this incident?" Mayor Lu asked in a serious tone.

Among the thirteen standing committee members present, only a few standing committee members, including Executive Vice Mayor Wang Zhichao, SL member of the garrison area Shi Beizhan, and Minister of United Front Work Nie Haoyuan, were unaware of the incident. Most of the others had heard about it.

But no matter whether they heard it or not, everyone's expression became very subtle.

They vaguely felt that the new Mayor Lu seemed to be testing and challenging Secretary Fu's authority. Because everyone knew that Secretary Fu wanted to make Shang Xinfeng's case an ironclad case, and now Mayor Lu seemed to be trying to go against him!

Fu Xueqin frowned slightly, and he guessed that the other party would definitely make a fuss about this matter.

"I have heard Comrade Quan Heng's report! Shang Xinfeng tried to resist the organization's investigation in an extreme way and tried to evade responsibility by committing suicide. This is an extremely childish and absurd act. Party discipline does not believe in tragedy, and national law does not believe in extremes. Anyone who violates the law and discipline has no other choice but to honestly admit their mistakes and explain the problems!"

Fu Xueqin looked at Lu Jiefeng, his words revealing an extreme firmness.

What's wrong with suicide? Suicide can only show that Shang Xinfeng has bad political qualities and is not loyal and honest to the party. Trying to commit suicide to get rid of the crime is just a waste of effort!

Lu Jiefeng has experienced the strength and willfulness of Secretary Fu. Even if Shang Xinfeng committed suicide by jumping off a building, it would not shake the other party's ideas in the slightest.

"Regarding the details of Shang Xinfeng's case, I think Comrade Zhou Yi, as the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, should have the most say!"

Lu Jiefeng retorted to Fu Xueqin in a neither soft nor hard manner, then turned his gaze to the young man diagonally opposite him, thinking, come on, Xiao Zhou, I've opened the door for you, and now it's your turn to come on stage and explain things to our Secretary Fu.

Fu Xueqin glanced at Zhou Yi coldly, Haha, you still say that you two didn’t collude?

Just as Zhou Yi was about to speak, Wei Quanheng, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, smiled and said, "This case has a long history. Comrade Zhou Yi has just taken office, so I'm afraid he doesn't know much about the inside story."

That’s right, today is only Zhou Yi’s second day in office. The Discipline Inspection Commission has a lot of work to do. According to common sense, Zhou Yi really lacks time to understand this case.

But that was according to common sense, and Zhou Yi did things that were not according to common sense. So he looked at the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, who seemed innocent but actually had a lot of calculations, and replied with a smile: "Secretary Quanheng guessed wrong, I really know a lot about this case!"

Wei Quanheng's expression changed slightly, then he turned his head to look at Fu Xueqian and said respectfully: "Secretary, in this case, let's listen attentively to what Comrade Xiao Zhou has to say about this case!"

Fu Xueqin nodded. He also wanted to hear what Zhou Yi could do!

Zhou Yi pretended not to hear the sarcasm and irony in Wei Quanheng's words, and began to speak without hesitation.

"Yesterday, during the meeting of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Comrade Guo Mingjin specifically mentioned that Shang Xinfeng's case was a case that the municipal party committee leaders paid special attention to and instructed to be handled. As the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, even though I had just taken office, I had to handle it as soon as possible and could not neglect it. It was at this time that the news of Shang Xinfeng's suicide came, and then I immediately checked the detailed materials of Shang Xinfeng's case."

"I discovered two problems. First, Xiang Qiushi, who reported Shang Xinfeng for taking bribes, changed his statement three times regarding the time and place of the bribery. The first time he said it was the evening of the 10th, the second time he said it was the evening of the 11th, and the third time it was noon. The location was sometimes Shang Xinfeng's home, and sometimes his office! What caused such inconsistent and illogical statements?"

"Is it because of a bad memory? Or is it just to 'match' the new fashion?"

"Let's make an assumption here. For example, after Xiang Qiushi made his statement, he suddenly found out that Shang Xinfeng had an alibi on the night of the 10th. What should he do? Then he changed the time to the 11th. Then he found out that Shang Xinfeng was not at home on the night of the 11th. Oh, then he changed the bribery location to the office."

"The result is that no matter how Shang Xinfeng defends himself, there is always a 'time and place' that suits him."

Upon hearing this, Wei Quanheng couldn't help but interrupt with a smile: "Comrade Zhou Yi, I think your assumption is too subjective. It sounds like you are defending Shang Xinfeng's innocence!"

Zhou Yi smiled and replied, "It's not a defense of innocence, because up to now, there is no sufficient evidence to prove Shang Xinfeng's guilt! As for the subjective tendency you mentioned, it does exist, but it's not me, but the investigators of this case!

Wei Quanheng's smile froze, and he retorted, "No matter what, the one million in Shang Xinfeng's bank card cannot be denied. It is also a fact that he later used his power to open the door for Xiang Qiushi."

Zhou Yi replied calmly: "This is the second question I want to talk about!"

"This bank card was indeed issued using Shang Xinfeng's ID card, but are you sure the person who used this ID card to apply for the bank card is Shang Xinfeng?"

Gao Bin, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and Director of the Public Security Bureau, frowned and raised an objection: "Even if it wasn't Shang Xinfeng, it cannot be ruled out that Shang Xinfeng sent someone else to handle it!"

Zhou Yi immediately asked back: "So, have you investigated?"

Gao Bin was suddenly speechless.

Yeah, have you investigated?

not at all!
