Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 440 Clues

As soon as Qi Tongwei saw Wu An calling, he immediately answered the phone.

"Hello, Secretary Qi, the dam broke yesterday and I suspect someone deliberately sabotaged it." Wu An said directly as soon as the call was connected.

Qi Tongwei was shocked and angry. Just as he was about to ask the source of the information, a scream came from the phone.

I heard something hit the water and the phone went busy.

"Hello! Hello! Wuan! Wuan!" Qi Tongwei felt a little uneasy.

Dam burst?

Who destroyed it?

And did Wu An know something and was silenced?

Doubts lingered in Qi Tongwei's mind, making him eager to know the other party's whereabouts.

Qi Tongwei handed the phone to another deputy township chief for rescue and asked him to find Wu An.

At this time, Wu An was struggling in the flood. The collapse of the tobacco curing room caught him off guard. He drank a few sips of water, but his cell phone was gone.

Suddenly, a horizontal wooden beam came towards Wu An and hit him in the face. Wu An felt like he was struck by lightning and his body slowly sank.

When the speedboat returned, they only found a group of villagers lying on the crossbar, but Wuan was nowhere to be seen.

Wu An’s disappearance caused quite a stir in Haizhou.

Jin Changguo found the attack point again and bluntly asked Qi Tongwei to take responsibility. If it weren't for Qi Tongwei's command error, a party committee secretary would not be missing.

The impatient look surprised the officials in Haizhou, but considering the history of fighting between the two factions, they felt it was understandable.

After all, two years ago, this master and disciple almost captured their Mayor Jin. Now that the other party has seized the opportunity, it would be against the rules of officialdom not to take revenge.

……

At night, the search and rescue work came to an end.

The incident resulted in seventeen people missing, including Wuan, and five people drowning.

This incident had a great impact on Qi Tongwei. He felt guilty about Wu An. Jin Changguo was right. It was indeed he who directed Wu An to go to the disaster relief. Now the person has disappeared and his life or death is unknown. He does have a responsibility.

As for the others, he was also responsible for negligence.

In order to appease the student, Gao Yuliang stayed in Jiangchang County to accompany him and personally took over the command of the rescue operation.

At this point today, the two of them can be said to prosper together and suffer together.

His student had had such a smooth journey that he was really worried that he wouldn't be able to handle setbacks.

In the county party committee staff building, Professor Gao, who had never cooked before, cooked two bowls of noodles himself.

Qi Tongwei sat opposite Gao Yuliang with bloodshot eyes, looking at the steaming hot noodles. His face, which had been stern all day, couldn't help but smile, "Teacher, now you're convincing us that we're forming a gang."

Gao Yuliang swallowed the noodles in his mouth and smiled. "There are cliques everywhere in the officialdom. Everyone knows this already. Besides, you are in the most difficult time right now. As a teacher, I have no choice but to help you."

Qi Tongwei was slightly moved. He picked up his chopsticks and was about to pick up some noodles when he paused. "By the way, Teacher, Wu An called me when he disappeared. He said he suspected the dam had been breached by sabotage, and then he disappeared. Do you think someone killed him to silence him?"

"It's very possible. According to this logic, and considering the behavior of our Mayor Jin, it's very suspicious, even a little extreme. Think about it, in the past when we fought him, he would get things done quietly, leaving you unable to fight back. This time, he seems to have lost his mind."

"what do you mean?"

"It's just as we guessed. We hit his weak spot, so he has to make a move!"

"Haizhou Pharmaceutical?"

"Yes, I recently found out something through some friends in Jingzhou. Our Mayor Jin was promoted by Deputy Secretary Lin Zilie, and Guo Xiaopeng is Lin Zilie's adopted son. They both grew up in Haizhou. Do you think they are related?"

Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and said, "There must be a connection. Even if there isn't one, collusion between government and business is perfectly normal."

"So, I have a guess. If Guo Xiaopeng was involved in illegal activities, what role did Mayor Jin play? Was he the mastermind or an accomplice?"

"So, what you're saying is that there's a high probability that there's something wrong with this dam breach?"

"It's not just very likely, it's absolutely certain. If it weren't for Wu Anlin's disappearance, I wouldn't have been so sure. Now I'm 100% certain. Mayor Jin can't help but make a move, and it's a shady one."

Qi Tongwei sighed deeply and said, "Just to capture me, they even dug up the riverbank. How utterly insane!"

Gao Yuliang sighed, "So, I have to be more careful in the future. Officialdom is only great and glorious on the surface, but it's just as dirty and filthy in secret. Sometimes I think I might as well stay and teach at a university."

Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "That's different. If I stayed at the university to teach, I wouldn't have the broad horizons and profound knowledge I have now."

Gao Yuliang also laughed, "That's true."

"By the way, Tongwei, when I had some suspicions this morning, I arranged for your county's Public Security Bureau chief to check the surveillance cameras at various intersections to see if there were any suspicious people or vehicles in the early hours of the morning."

Qi Tongwei gave a thumbs up and said, "Teacher, you are really far-sighted. This group of people would never have thought that a professor of political science and law like you would react so quickly.

Although heavy rain can hide traces well, they certainly didn't expect surveillance, a new thing that has just become popular."

"So, you have to thank Director Bai from the last investigation. It's precisely because of the practicality of surveillance that we were able to popularize it so quickly and have the opportunity to find some clues."

"That's something we have to thank. This year's inspections of traffic violations alone have brought in a considerable amount of revenue to the treasury." Qi Tongwei, in a good mood, joked after clearing the fog.

At this time, the doorbell rang.

Gao Yuliang smiled and said, "It must be your Public Security Bureau Chief who brought the news."

Qi Tongwei opened the door and sure enough, Chen Xin appeared at the door in police uniform.

"Leader, I have failed to live up to your trust." Chen Xin said dejectedly as soon as they met.

Qi Tongwei made way and said, "Come in and talk."

Chen Xin nodded and walked into the room. Seeing Gao Yuliang was there, he quickly saluted and said, "Secretary Gao."

Gao Yuliang waved his hand and said, "Director Chen, you're here. Come sit down."

After Chen Xin sat down on the sofa, Gao Yuliang asked, "How is it going? Have you found anything?"

Chen Xin shook his head. "No, I didn't see any suspicious people on the road from Haizhou to Jiangchang."

"What about the intersection near the embankment?"

"An unlicensed blue van was spotted passing nearby, but its whereabouts are unknown."

Qi Tongwei's mood, which had just improved, sank again.

Gao Yuliang continued to ask with a smile: "Have you found out that this van left Haizhou?"

"No, it seems to have disappeared out of thin air." Chen Xin replied.

Gao Yuliang was confident. "A van is a valuable item. It certainly wouldn't disappear for no reason. There's only one possibility: it was hidden."

Then he asked Qi Tongwei, "The last riot of the Wayi tribe seemed to be related to Lumin."

Qi Tongwei understood immediately after hearing this, "You mean?"

"They are the most likely ones, but the Wayi people are xenophobic, so we can't conduct a large-scale search."
