Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Hearing that this was something that Du Tianhe had confirmed, Zhu Lianhai nodded. He knew that since Du Tianhe had verified it, it should not be false. But he still couldn't understand why a county public security bureau would be so bold. They knew that this person was the brother-in-law of Du Tianhe, the member of the Standing Committee of the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee and the Executive Vice Mayor. They dared to take such a heavy hand. Could it be that the director of the Dahu County Public Security Bureau was a fool? That should be absolutely impossible. The director of a county bureau is at least a regular cadre. How could they not understand the complex relationship?

"Okay, okay. Ruhua, I will definitely take care of this matter. I will have someone investigate it. There will definitely be a result. Whoever is responsible will bear the responsibility. I promise that the murderer will be punished by law in the end. Do you think it's okay?" Thinking about how good the Ning family was to him when he was in trouble, Zhu Lianhai finally decided to take care of this matter. He will retire in half a year, and he may not be able to help the Ning family in the future. At this time, he should use his remaining energy to seek justice for the Ning family. In fact, the Ning family was wronged in this matter, and he was just seeking justice.

Seeing Zhu Lianhai promised to take care of the matter, Ning Ruhua stopped crying. "Well, Uncle Zhu, don't lie to Ruhua. I trust you the most."

It's really rare that Ning Ruhua, who is so old, is still acting like a little girl and acting like a spoiled child in front of others. Fortunately, Zhu Lianhai only regarded her as his junior and didn't think much about it. "Well, don't worry, Ruhua, I will definitely give your Ning family an explanation for this matter."

In a room of Dahu County Guesthouse, Feng Sizhe was looking at the information sent by Chen Hu.

It has to be said that Chen Hu and his team were indeed very efficient. After receiving a call from Feng Sizhe, they took only one afternoon to organize a lot of information about Du Tianhe that they had investigated and presented it to Feng Sizhe. Although it was not very comprehensive, it could definitely serve as a good reference for Feng Sizhe's analysis of Du Tianhe.

Chen Hu had already left and returned to Yongyang City to continue collecting information. Feng Sizhe was sitting at the desk in the room, carefully reading the files. This Du Tianhe was really beyond his expectations. From the information, he had no experience as a county magistrate or secretary, but he was promoted to the position of executive vice mayor, which was a bit intriguing.

Under normal circumstances, to become the executive vice mayor of a prefecture-level city, even if he has not been a party secretary, he must have at least been a county magistrate, otherwise his resume would be too boring. However, he is really an outlier. He actually left his current job without any information about this. From this, he came to a conclusion that there must be someone supporting him, and this person's position would not be very low, at least someone like Cai Xingmin, the party secretary of Yongyang City, could not do it. They are all city-level leaders, and it is impossible for a city secretary to have such great power.

Could it be that Du Tianhe had the support of provincial leaders? But why was there no record of this in the file that Chen Hu obtained? It showed that Du Tianhe was born in an ordinary working-class family and had no prominent background. Why was this?

Feng Sizhe was thinking hard, and he smoked two cigarettes without any result. Then a knock on the door broke his meditation.

Hearing someone knocking on the door, Feng Sizhe quickly put the documents on the table into the file bag, and then he replied to the door, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, revealing the figure of Lu Zhuo, secretary of the county commission for discipline inspection. "Haha, County Magistrate Feng hasn't rested yet, has he?"

"Yes, it's Secretary Lu. Come on in and take a seat. You haven't rested yet." When he saw that it was Lu Zhuo, Feng Sizhe laughed. This man who had opposed him since he came to Dahu County had indeed changed a lot after hitting a wall and living here for a while. At least Feng Sizhe, who was younger than him, knew how to maintain due respect, and what was even more rare was that this respect came from the bottom of his heart.

"Haha, County Magistrate Feng, you don't have to be so polite. I just can't figure out some things, so I wanted to come over to discuss them with you." Lu Zhuo laughed and reached out to take the tea that Feng Sizhe poured for him, then sat down on the soft sofa in the room.

"Oh, Secretary Lu, if there is anything you don't understand, just speak out and we can study it together. Of course, I am not a know-it-all, and I don't know everything, but if I understand something, I will naturally tell you and won't hide it." After Feng Sizhe handed the tea to Lu Zhuo, he did not return to the chair that belonged to the host, but sat casually next to Lu Zhuo. This showed that he did not regard Lu Zhuo as a subordinate who was inferior to himself, but regarded him as a friend.

Don't underestimate these details. Sometimes, details really determine success or failure. Feng Sizhe's performance now makes Lu Zhuo feel warm from the bottom of his heart. He likes Feng Sizhe's understanding and his lack of airs. Many cadres are very powerful nowadays. They are often only half a level apart in rank, but when they meet and talk, they must distinguish between high and low and primary and secondary. It seems that if you are half a level higher than others, you must be better than them. But Feng Sizhe is not like this. As long as you treat him as a friend, you will feel the care of friends in many things, rather than the authority of leaders.

This was not the first time that Lu Zhuo came to Feng Sizhe's room to ask questions, and he did not intend to be polite. He also knew that Feng Sizhe was actually a straightforward person. Of course, the premise was that you had to be honest with him first, and if you did not play tricks on him, you would be destined to receive the same courtesy. Of course, if you wanted to fight with him, what awaited you next was endless blows and troubles that you could not even imagine, and then you would truly experience what it meant to have no words to express your suffering.

"County Magistrate Feng, I'll be frank. I just don't understand. Doesn't the man named Ning Bentou have a brother-in-law who is the deputy mayor of the municipal government? Why must the municipal party committee send an investigation team to his case? Does it mean that the higher-level municipal party committee doesn't believe us? Or is this the social atmosphere now, and the leaders' families must enjoy special privileges? The leaders' families are like tigers that cannot be touched?"

Lu Zhuo was obviously a little emotional when he said this. In fact, as a cadre of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, it is normal for him to think this way. Most of these people are in contact with the law and emphasize fairness. When faced with a case like Ning Bentou, they will naturally feel resistance, because this is completely different from the fairness and equality of everyone in their minds.

These words coming out of Lu Zhuo's mouth made Feng Sizhe feel funny, but when he thought about it, since he said them, everything seemed so normal.

Thinking that Lv Zhuo has been respectful to me recently, and is far less hostile to me than when I first came, I might as well take this opportunity today to teach him a lesson. "Haha, Secretary Lv. What you said just now is correct, but that is only for general matters. As the saying goes, there is nothing outside the law but human feelings. Strict laws are also implemented by people, so naturally there will be various problems. For example, the case of Ning Bentou is like this. Although we know that he is the brother-in-law of Deputy Mayor Du Tianhe, our Dahu County still detained him, and even for some unknown reason, he was seriously injured. It is normal for the higher-ups to send people to investigate. Think about it, Du Tianhe is not representing himself at this time, but the leadership team of the Municipal Party Committee. Our Dahu County can be fearless of Du Tianhe's brother-in-law today, and may be fearless of other family members of the Municipal Party Committee leaders tomorrow. From another perspective, this is already a bit disrespectful to the families of the Municipal Party Committee leaders. So do you think they should investigate?"

"What County Magistrate Feng said is correct, but in my opinion, the primary responsibility for this incident lies with Du Tianhe. If he had not failed to discipline his family strictly, how could such a thing happen? It is because of his poor family education that Ning Bentou had such bold ideas and actions. He even dared to commit the crime of kidnapping when we had already released him. What's wrong with giving such a person a good beating?"

"Haha, although what you said is true, it's just that you are looking from the direction of Dahu County. The municipal party committee won't think so. It's like a palm. If I hold it up, you can see the front of the palm, but I can see the back. So the description will be different." Seeing that Lu Zhuo seemed to understand everything, but in fact his vision was still narrow, Feng Sizhe smiled again. It's no wonder. He has been in the provincial party committee since he entered politics. He grew up under the protection of his cousin. Naturally, he doesn't understand many simple truths, or even doesn't understand them. This is the difference between a greenhouse flower and a wild flower. His knowledge and ability to analyze things are much worse.

Feng Sizhe used a more vivid metaphor to describe the incident, which made Lu Zhuo seem to understand it better. "So that's how it is. It seems that my vision was too limited before, so that I was a little flustered when something happened, and I always wanted to find a suitable solution to the problem from the law. This made me feel confused."

"Haha, it doesn't matter. People grow up by learning step by step. Sometimes it's a good thing to go through some things." Feng Sizhe didn't mean to discourage Lu Zhuo's enthusiasm. On the contrary, he comforted him that these were all part of human nature and it would be like this at the beginning.
