South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 368 Yan Yan's Abnormality

Soon, Xu Guang put down his pen, stood up, and sat down next to Yuan Mu.

"Comrade Yuan Mu, what's the matter?"

"Secretary Xu, this is what happened. There was an armed fight in the district last night..." Yuan Mu then reported the entire incident to Xu Guang.

"It's too outrageous! There was a fight with weapons in public, and three people died!" After hearing about this, Xu Guang was shocked at once, and then angry.

"Secretary Xu, I want to apologize to you for this matter. After all, I am the secretary of Daoli District, and it is my fault for failing to supervise effectively." Yuan Mu quickly admitted his mistake.

"Okay, this matter is not something you can control. We have all witnessed the achievements made by Daoli District in the past two years. Let me call Mayor Song and Deputy Secretary Yan to discuss it first." Xu Guang waved his hand.

Yuan Mu nodded. He naturally had no objection. Soon Xu Guang asked his secretary Yu Yongde to call the mayor Song Hongkuo and the deputy secretary Yan Yan. When Yuan Mu saw the two of them coming, he quickly stood up and greeted them. They nodded to Yuan Mu, and they sat down again.

"A very serious case occurred in Daoli District last night. Comrade Yuan Mu, please tell us about it." Xu Guang started the conversation and then asked Yuan Mu to introduce the situation.

Just like before, Yuan Mu recounted what happened. Song Hongkuo and Yan Yan had different expressions. Song Hongkuo was very angry, while Yan Yan's attitude was a little confused and hesitant.

"Secretary Xu, I don't think there is anything to discuss. Just let the people from the Municipal Bureau go and arrest the man. We have both witnesses and evidence." Song Hongkuo waved his hand.

"Mayor Song, it is right to arrest Teng Deqiang. Just as Comrade Yuan Mu said just now, he is a direct participant. But isn't it a bit inappropriate to arrest Song Si? The Xuanteng Company he founded was of great help to the construction of Daoli District. They have done a lot of demolition work, and overall it is still good." Yan Yan said.

"Secretary Yan, Teng Deqiang is the manager of Xuanteng Company. Do you think there is no connection between the two of them?" Song Hongkuo frowned.

"Mayor Song, as far as I know, Xuanteng Company is not small, and Teng Deqiang is just a manager. Daoli District is so large, and their company also takes on projects from other districts. It is inevitable that Song Si will have omissions in management. We should not kill him with one blow. I think we should let him come to the Municipal Bureau to cooperate with the investigation. There is no need to arrest him directly. Secretary Xu, what do you think?" Yan Yan looked at Song Hongkuo and then at Xu Guang.

"Comrade Yuan Mu, this incident happened in Daoli District. As the district party secretary, what can you tell me about this matter? How should it be handled?" Xu Guang frowned and looked at Yuan Mu.

Yuan Mu looked at Xu Guang, then at Yan Yan and Song Hongkuo. What the hell, there must be four different minds among these three people. Song Hongkuo supported this matter, but Yan Yan did not. When it came to Xu Guang's turn, he tried to smooth things over and directly kicked the ball to himself.

"Well, we should first send people from the Municipal Bureau to arrest Teng Deqiang and those who took action yesterday. As for Song Si, I personally prefer to control him directly. I don't believe he has nothing to do with this matter. Moreover, the District Bureau has already interrogated those people yesterday, and several people said that this matter was instigated by Song Si."

"Secretary Yuan, this is biased. We should not listen to one side of the story. Who are they? They are just hooligans, talking nonsense. Wouldn't it be bad for us to arrest a company boss rashly? If we arrest the wrong person, wouldn't it be a smear on our municipal party committee and government?"

"This will definitely give other private entrepreneurs a lot of bad impressions, so this approach is unacceptable. I still prefer to invite people to cooperate first rather than arrest them directly." Yan Yan still refuted.

Yuan Mu raised his eyebrows. He began to doubt the relationship between Yan Yan and Song Si. But it didn't make sense when he thought about it. He had checked the information of Xuan Teng Company. It was a not very large company. It only undertook some demolition projects, which were neither big nor small. If he really had a relationship with Yan Yan, it would be impossible for him to only do such small projects.

So Yuan Mu glanced at Song Hongkuo inconspicuously, and the other person's eyes met his own, and they separated immediately.

"Okay, since Secretary Yan insists so much, I don't have much to say. Let's send the people from the Municipal Bureau first." Song Hongkuo nodded.

"Comrade Yuan Mu, what do you think?" Xu Guang nodded and looked at Yuan Mu.

"I also agree with Secretary Yan's opinion."

In fact, there is no need to fight to the death with Yan Yan on this matter. It's not that Yuan Mu is afraid of him. There is nothing to be afraid of. Both of them are at the bureau level, but Yan Yan is the deputy secretary and the third in command of the municipal party committee. Respect should still be given.

"Okay, let's hold a standing committee meeting to pass it, and then take action." Seeing that no one had any objections, Xu Guang nodded.

In fact, this is pure formalism. Resolutions passed by the Secretary's Office will generally be passed by the Standing Committee, but other members of the Standing Committee must also be informed of this matter, otherwise it will have a bad impact.

As expected, the Standing Committee meeting went very smoothly and passed unanimously. The Municipal Bureau directly sent people to Daowai District to arrest people, but unfortunately, Teng Deqiang was not caught, and the people who took action that day were not caught either. It seemed that they all ran away.

Song Si did not run away, but was taken back to the district bureau. The case was eventually handed over to Daoli District for handling. After all, the incident happened in Daoli District, and the Municipal Bureau was just cooperating.

Song Si was brought back on the pretext of cooperating with the investigation, so naturally he could not be brought into the interrogation room. Instead, he was brought into the interrogation room, where Liu Jun personally interrogated him.

"Song Si, where is Teng Deqiang?" Liu Jun looked at Song Si and asked directly.

"Deputy District Chief Liu, you're asking the wrong person. How would I know where he went?" Song Si shrugged.

"Song Si! I advise you to be honest! You are Teng Deqiang's elder brother, you don't know where he has gone!" Liu Jun slammed the table and said.

"Deputy District Chief Liu, I want to correct you. First of all, I am not Teng Deqiang's elder brother. I am his boss. Secondly, although Teng Deqiang is my employee, I am not his parent. I have no obligation to watch where he goes. And will he tell me where he goes after work? That is his freedom!"

"Also, Deputy District Chief Liu, I am not your prisoner. I am cooperating with your investigation. Do you want to disobey the order of the Municipal Party Committee?" Song Si was leisurely and not in a hurry at all.

Liu Jun frowned immediately. How come Song Si knew everything? And he also had strong logical thinking ability. He knew Song Si's past. He had been in jail many times for fighting in his early years. He knew he would not be easy to deal with, but he did not expect him to be so difficult!
