1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 3180
Welcomed by tens of thousands of people, the motorcade of the Executive Committee entered the city from Qingchun Gate in the east of the city, passed through Qingchun Road, which runs through Hangzhou City from east to west, and then left the city through Qiantang Gate in the west of the city, successfully completing its first public appearance in Hangzhou .

Although there were a lot of people watching on the street today, under the strict defense of the security forces of all parties, the whole process was orderly, and there was no uncontrolled chaos during the period.

The field team of the Ministry of Security "coincidentally" failed to participate in the final arrest of Zhu Zhongyun and his gang.If Ji Yuanqing hadn't taken the initiative to reveal the news to him, Gong Shiqi might have to wait until he left the city before receiving the report of the capture of the assassin.

Of course, Gong Shiqi didn't think that his field team missed the arrest operation, it was just another coincidence in this case.He prefers that this is a deliberate arrangement by the military to prevent people from the Ministry of Security from "missing" again in the arrest operation.

We must know that the field team participated in the capture of the other two assassins before this, and they did not hold back at all, and opened fire at the capture scene and injured the suspect.

If in the final arrest process, someone accidentally beat the main criminal Zhu Zhongyun to death, then the impact of the investigation and handling of the case may be greatly reduced. Gong Shiqi believes that this is the main reason why the military deliberately excluded the Ministry of Security .

Although the Ministry of Security, which is in charge of directing the investigation of the case, will take the lead in the end, Gong Shiqi feels as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.For him, the case was not handled smoothly enough, and there were too many links out of his control.

This is not the result he wanted, but the result that Ji Yuanqing forced him.

But he couldn't refuse to accept it, so he could only follow the other party's arrangement.

But Gong Shiqi also had to admit that the security work in Hangzhou was not as bad as he thought before.The security measures here seem to be lax, but they are actually tight on the outside and tight on the inside.

It was only today that he learned that it was far more than just the Second Regiment of the Seventh Division of the Lu Seventh Division carrying out martial law missions inside and outside Hangzhou. Diwen's personal soldiers - Donghai Region Special Service Independent Battalion.

And the number of people deployed by the Military Intelligence Bureau in Hangzhou is far more than the dozens of people they claimed earlier.

According to the secret report just sent by his subordinates, Gong Shiqi learned that there are at least two to three hundred people in the Military Intelligence Bureau in Hangzhou. It is estimated that most of the people in charge of Ji Yuanqing have already gathered in Hangzhou City before that.

Of course, this was not a temporary deployment after Gong Shiqi went to Hangzhou to investigate the Zhu Zhongyun case. It involved the transfer of so many fighters across regions, and it took at least ten and a half days to coordinate and prepare various materials. month ago.

From this point of view, the East China Sea region is probably not only guarding against Zhu Zhongyun and his gang, but also preventing other possible emergencies.

But also because of this, Gong Shiqi felt more and more that Wang Yuan was able to transport more than 20 rifles into the city the day before the executive committee arrived in Hangzhou, because someone was deliberately providing convenience for him.

Of course, Ji Yuanqing had already denied such allegations, and Gong Shiqi did not have any actual evidence to prove his guess.

After leaving the Qiantang Gate in the west of the city, the West Lake is not far ahead.However, Gong Shiqi was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the West Lake at this time. He just wanted to quickly escort the executive committee to the place where he was staying, and then return to the city to interrogate Zhu Zhongyun and others.

Although the person was caught, there are still too many things to be ascertained about the ins and outs of the whole case.Moreover, Gong Shiqi had to know whether the Daming Factory Guard had any other plans for the executive committee besides Zhu Zhongyun and his group.

After leaving the city, the convoy turned to the north along the road around the city. Not long ago, a large elegant villa near the lake appeared, which was the newly built guest house for the relocation of the capital in Hangzhou.

On the north side of the guest house, there are several tall buildings under construction, which are office buildings prepared for various government agencies, including the exclusive office area of ​​the executive committee and the auditorium for holding large meetings.

Next to these government agencies is the Hangzhou New Victory Square, which is modeled after the Sanya Victory Square.

The area of ​​this square is more than double that of Sanya Victory Square. The entire square is paved with tens of thousands of two-foot-square granite slabs.

The construction of the square took more than two years, and it has been basically completed. However, no one is allowed to enter the square area for the time being. It will not be officially opened to the public until the military parade during the National Day is held.

Next, the senior officials of the Executive Committee will settle in the guest house for a short rest, and then participate in the welcome luncheon hosted by the local government.This place is surrounded by the guard battalion of the Executive Committee and Shi Diwen's personal troops like an iron barrel, so there is no need to worry about safety anymore.

And Gong Shiqi was finally able to squeeze out a little time to go back to the city to interrogate the prisoner.

Of course, he didn't forget to call Ji Yuanqing.Although Ji Yuanqing made various strange actions during the investigation of the case, Gong Shiqi still hoped that Ji Yuanqing would be present during the interrogation of the prisoner.

He wanted to see with his own eyes what attitude Ji Yuanqing would take towards the follow-up of this case.

The two rode back to Hangzhou City with their subordinates. As soon as they arrived outside Qiantang Gate, Gong Shiqi reined in the reins.

He saw that the soldiers guarding the gate were taking down Zhu Zhongyun's arrest warrant, and loudly explained the reason to the onlookers—this person was instigated by Daming and sneaked into Hangzhou with many people, intending to assassinate the Executive Committee, and has been arrested by the government. Details of the case will be announced to the public.

It seemed reasonable, but Gong Shiqi sensed something strange. He said to Ji Yuanqing: "The criminal has just been arrested and brought to justice. Many things have not been clarified yet. I don't know if there are still accomplices at large. Some people actually publicized the case. Isn't that against the rules?"

Ji Yuanqing replied blankly: "The arrest warrant has been posted for two days, and it was suddenly canceled. We must give the public a decent explanation, so that no one will use it to spread rumors."

Gong Shiqi said: "Is this to avoid rumors, or to let the people of Hangzhou know that Daming sent assassins to assassinate the Executive Committee?"

Ji Yuanqing said: "There are at least 3000 to [-] people who participated in the arrest operation in the past two days. Do you think so many people can keep secrets? If the government doesn't take the initiative to release reliable information, you don't think the public will rely on just a few words. Are you guessing at random information?”

"Besides, the common people also have the right to know who is trying to use conspiracy and tricks to destroy the hard-won peaceful life. Since Daming did such a dirty thing, we can't blame us for making it public!"
