Chapter 490: Sudden Arrival
Before they finished their meal, the person who had gone to the bus company's guesthouse to take Niu Guoqing back came back, and comrades from the Municipal Bureau's Security Department followed closely behind.

After hearing the report that Niu Guoqing had been brought here, Su Xiaotong and Luo Min ate the remaining food and planned to go and see this companion who once lived in the same compound with them, to see what he was thinking and why he hired someone to follow his childhood playmate.

His actions were indeed confusing. If he wanted to find this former playmate, even if he still liked her and fantasized about whether something could happen between him and her, he could have just asked someone openly. It's not like he didn't know other people in Beijing.

There were quite a few friends in the compound, and someone would always tell him where Luo Min lived now.

But he didn't do that. Instead, he chose an action that made people feel a little unbelievable.

After saying hello to Li Yancheng, Su Xiaotong walked out of the cafeteria first. Luo Min also took the last bite of rice and stood up to catch up.

They all stood up, and she suddenly realized something. She quickly sat back on the bench and eagerly explained to her husband who was still sitting there and eating slowly.

"Dacheng, don't get me wrong, I just... I just want to ask Niu Guoqing why he did this. If it wasn't for the guy named Wang Shengli who mentioned this name in the car today, I would have forgotten about him. As for what he said about us being engaged before, it's completely nonsense and it never happened.

We all lived in a compound before, when we were little..."

Before Luo Min could finish her words, Li Yancheng raised his head with a smile on his face and interrupted her.

"Honey, don't be nervous. Luo Yang has explained to me the relationship between you and Niu Guoqing. The reason he was able to return to Beijing and be assigned a job this time was because his mother wrote a letter to our mother before she passed away..."

Li Yancheng told his wife everything he heard from Luo Yang.

Luo Min couldn't help but widen her eyes. Only then did she realize that there were so many twists and turns here.

It seems that Niu Guoqing still has evil intentions towards her?

While she was stunned, Li Yancheng continued, "Wife, go meet your childhood friend and ask him why he hired someone to follow you. What is his purpose? I'll go over after I finish eating."

"Don't worry." Luo Min shook his head and said, "I'll wait for you. Let's go together."

"Okay, then wait for me."

On the other side, Su Xiaotong had already walked to the interrogation room where Niu Guoqing was temporarily placed. Three staff members from the Security Department, led by Lu Mingyu, the first female director of the Beijing Social Affairs Bureau since its establishment, were waiting at the door of the interrogation room.

Seeing Su Xiaotong coming, Lu Mingyu and his three subordinates saluted together.

"Su Chu"

Su Xiaotong also serves as a member of the bureau team. His administrative level is one level higher than Lu Mingyu. If we only talk about the treatment he enjoys, he is two levels higher than Director Lu. In terms of organizing and leading everything, he can be called a leader.

"Director Lu came here in person."

"I happen to be on duty today. Director Su, are Deputy Secretary-General Li and Deputy Section Chief Luo also here with you?"

"Well, the couple is still eating in the cafeteria. They will be here soon. I will tell Director Lu what happened first."

"Thank you for your hard work, Director Su."

"You're welcome. It's official business. The situation is like this..."

"Director Su, you mean the person who was just brought back here..." Lu Mingyu raised his arm and pointed at the interrogation room behind him, and asked in disbelief: "This person grew up in the same yard as you and Deputy Section Chief Luo. He had a good relationship with Deputy Section Chief Luo when he was a child. Was it him who asked someone to follow Deputy Section Chief Luo?"

"That's right." Su Xiaotong nodded, took out a cigarette from his pocket and threw one to each of the three staff members of the Security Department, then lit one for himself.

"No, Director Su, since he knows Deputy Section Chief Luo and they were close when they were kids, why did he do this? Is it possible that he was hired by some organization and did this to get revenge on Deputy Secretary-General Li?"

"Director Lu, what you said is definitely a possibility, but the exact reason will depend on the results of your investigation."

The possibility that Lu Mingyu mentioned was also discussed by Su Xiaotong and the other two when they were having dinner in the cafeteria just now.

But this cannot explain why Wang Shengli would take the initiative to want to go to jail, but Niu Guoqing's idea is also very confusing. He first wanted to live in Li's house, and after being rejected, he hired someone to follow Luo Min.

If he was really instructed by an organization to retaliate against Li Yancheng, he should have been approached in a gentle manner.

"Director Su, you also said that the person who was responsible for following Deputy Section Chief Luo wanted to go to jail?"

"Well, but this is just our guess. It's hard to say what it is right now."

"Okay, who do you think we should approach first?"

"Since I'm here, let's meet Niu Guoqing first. It happens that I haven't seen him for more than ten years, so say hello to him." Su Xiaotong said after gesturing to the interrogation room behind him.

Lu Mingyu had no objection to this. From the narration just now, she felt that the whole thing was full of strangeness. She really couldn't figure out what the instigator was thinking. It would be good to go and meet this person first.

But at the same time, she still had some other doubts in her mind, that is, what was the relationship between this guy named Niu Guoqing and Deputy Section Chief Luo.

What she was worried about was whether there would be some mess involved here. No matter whether it was Deputy Section Chief Luo or Deputy Secretary-General Li, she knew she couldn't afford to offend them.

Director Lu knew very well that even though she was the director of the Security Department of the Municipal Bureau, and Luo Min was only the deputy section chief of a department under the Legal Affairs Department, the level difference between the two was a chasm for many people, but they had strong backgrounds, not to mention Li Yancheng.

As the director of the security department, she is quite familiar with the specific situation of Deputy Secretary-General Li.

Others may think that this man rose to prominence with the help of his wife's family, but she knows clearly that the reason why he can enjoy high-level treatment at such a young age is because what he has done has forced the organization to promote him.

Even for the sake of suppression, she never assigned him a real job. Otherwise, in her opinion, this person could at least be the deputy director of the Beijing Social Affairs Bureau now, instead of gaining experience in the nominal position of deputy secretary-general.

Of course, there is no need to think about this now. He is going to work at the Municipal Public Security Bureau. From now on, he will be able to fly freely in the sky and fish in the sea.

While she was thinking, several people had already walked into the interrogation room.

……

At the same time, Li Yancheng's transfer order appeared in the hands of Mr. Wang, who was about to leave the auditorium after finishing the last small-scale meeting during the conference because the conference would end tomorrow.

After roughly scanning the contents of the document, Mr. Wang took the pen from the staff member next to him, wrote the word "read" in the blank space above the document, then wrote "forward to relevant department", then signed his name, and handed it together with the pen to his work secretary Zhou Jiangong.

"Jiangong, tell Minister Yongnian and Minister Changsheng to speed up the paperwork for Comrade Yancheng and have him report to the Organization Department in Jing City as soon as possible."

"Yes"

The Yongnian that Mr. Fang mentioned is Xiang Yongnian, the executive vice president of the headquarters, who assists Mr. Fang in presiding over the daily affairs of the headquarters. Mr. Fang also holds other positions within the organization and is not often on duty at the headquarters. Deputy Minister Xiang usually exercises Mr. Fang's powers on his behalf at the headquarters.

The Changsheng is called Gu Changsheng, who is in charge of personnel and education and training. If Li Yancheng wants to be transferred, he must go through these two.

Since the transfer order has arrived, it means that Li Yancheng has reached the final step in leaving the Social Affairs Bureau. Since his position as deputy secretary-general is a nominal one and he is not in charge of any work, there is nothing to hand over. As long as he signs the last few names, he will have no connection with this place at all. He can report to the Beijing Organization Department with the deputy copy of the transfer order and wait for their next arrangements for him.

From that moment on, he officially became a cadre of Jing City and accepted the leadership of the Jing City organization. After joining the Jing City Public Security Bureau, due to the special functions of the public security department, he also had to accept the leadership of the Public Security Headquarters and be under the dual jurisdiction of the headquarters and the local government.

Just as Mr. Fang was about to leave, he suddenly thought of the report he received last night, that someone was suspected of following Li Yancheng's lover. Thinking of this, he turned to look at Zhou Jiangong. "Jiangong, it is said that someone is following Comrade Luo Min at the entrance of the Political College. Do you know what the situation is now?"

"Commander, I called to ask after lunch and before dinner." Zhou Jiangong knew that the leader would definitely ask about this matter today, so he did his homework in advance.

"The Municipal Security Department has already sent people to secretly protect Secretary Yan Cheng's two children. Comrade Luo Min is in class, so her safety at school can still be guaranteed. Secretary Yan Cheng usually picks her up and drops her off at school, and in addition to his own request, the Security Department did not send anyone to Comrade Luo Min's place.

After lunch today, Secretary-General Yan Cheng personally went to the entrance of the Political Science Institute to wait, hoping to find the person who was following him..."

Hearing this, Mr. Fang frowned and interrupted Zhou Jiangong.

"Did he go there alone?"

"Uh...yeah."

"Nonsense, what kind of personal heroism is this? Is this just his business?"

"You are right to criticize. I also think that Secretary-General Yan Cheng's move is a bit risky, but..."

"But what? Just finish what you're saying."

"Commander, Secretary General Yan Cheng has already caught the man who was following Comrade Luo Min, and has also questioned and arrested the mastermind behind the scenes. Both of them are now in the First Division of the Municipal Bureau. Director Lu Mingyu of the Security Department has already brought people there to prepare for a more detailed investigation."

"Has the person been caught?" Mr. Fang, who was always expressionless, was now looking at his work secretary in astonishment.

"Yes chief."

After receiving a positive answer, Mr. Fang suddenly laughed.

"This brat hasn't changed in more than ten years. He always insists on quick decisions in everything he does."

After muttering, he raised his left hand and looked at the watch on his wrist.

"Let's go, Jiangong, let's go to one place, I'll see what's going on there."

Seeing that Mr. Fang said they wanted to go to a place, Zhou Jiangong moved his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed the words back.

He knew very well that the old man liked Li Yancheng very much. Even if he said anything now, the old man would not listen. It would be better for him not to do such annoying things.

But who would have thought that his hesitant action would be noticed by Mr. Fang, who said as he walked out of the small meeting room.

"Jiangong, what do you want to say? Just say it."

"Uh... Commander, I think this case is still under investigation. If you go there in person now, it will put pressure on the investigators.

If the front-line case handlers misunderstand your meaning, it may cause a bad impact. "

What Zhou Jiangong meant was that when the people from the Security Department of the Municipal Bureau saw that Mr. Fang had gone there, they would think that the leadership attached great importance to this case. If the two suspects continued to refuse to cooperate, then in order to get to the bottom of the matter as quickly as possible, some of the investigators might do something illegal.

It should be said that what he said makes sense, as this kind of thing has happened before.

But Mr. Fang obviously understands his subordinates better and has more confidence in them, especially since Li Yancheng is present. Cases with his involvement will definitely not be half-baked.

Although Zhou Jiangong has been working as a secretary for Mr. Fang for quite some time, he is not from the Social Affairs Bureau, and his files are not kept here. He does not know the people here, and what he said was only from the perspective of an ordinary person.

"It's ok"

The old man who had already walked out of the small conference room waved his hand casually: "Jian Gong, I believe that what you said will not happen to us."

Got it!
The old man has said so much, what else can Zhou Jiangong say? Just listen.

……

More than ten minutes later, Mr. Fang's car appeared at a place. Because it came too suddenly, no one dared to stop the sentry at the gate, and there was no time to notify anyone, so the old man appeared at the door of the interrogation room accompanied by the on-duty deputy director Tian Linjun. Li Yancheng, Su Xiaotong and others inside realized that this person had actually come.

"Jiangong, what's going on? Why didn't you tell us that the commander was coming over before you informed us?"

While Su Xiaotong asked Mr. Fang to move to the meeting room next door to report the case there, Li Yancheng pulled Zhou Jiangong a few steps behind.

Because they often deal with each other, the two of them are more familiar with each other and have fewer concerns when talking to each other. If it was someone he was not so familiar with, Li Yancheng would definitely not speak like that.

When a leader comes down to the grassroots level, no matter it is to inspect work or do something else, under normal circumstances, the staff around him will definitely notify the grassroots unit first, especially now that it is time to get off work. Even if there are staff on duty, the work in all aspects will definitely not be as formal as during working hours.

This kind of operation cannot be considered as fraud or deceiving the leaders. At most, it is just a reminder. If there is a big problem, this sudden visit is an advance notice, and there will not be enough time to falsify.

Zhou Jiangong smiled bitterly and lowered his voice and said, "It was really a temporary decision. The leader left without any extra time.

He gestured to Li Yancheng about the briefcase in his hand and said, "Your transfer order is in here. I originally wanted to ask the chief to sign it, but he asked about the matter of Deputy Section Chief Luo being followed. I told him what I knew, and he immediately said he wanted to come over and take a look after listening to me."

transfer order?

Hearing this, Li Yancheng's attention was immediately drawn. He thought that the transfer order would not come down until after the meeting was over, which would be after tomorrow.

Today is Wednesday. The meeting will end on Thursday. He can report to the Beijing Organization Department next week after the transfer order comes down on Friday. I didn't expect it to be so urgent.

In this case, he may have to go there the day after tomorrow at the latest. Although the transfer order will definitely give a grace period of a few days, in this kind of situation, as long as the original unit does not deliberately press for time, the sooner the person concerned goes there, the better. This will give the leader the feeling that you attach great importance to this matter.

"Congratulations, Secretary-General!" Zhou Jiangong hadn't finished speaking yet, and what he said next made Li Yancheng doubt whether he had heard it wrong.

"I heard from a friend who works in the organization department of Beijing that the city has made it clear that you will be the deputy director of the Beijing Public Security Department in charge of criminal investigation and the chief of the Criminal Investigation Corps. Your administrative level is clearly at the bureau level, ranking second among the deputy directors of the municipal bureau, and you are also the only one among the deputy directors who are at the bureau level."

The other is the executive deputy. The director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau is also a member of the headquarters, and the daily work of the bureau is presided over by the executive deputy.

Just as we entered the 1980s, the "deputy reduction" policy had not yet begun, and each unit had a large number of deputy positions. The Municipal Bureau was no exception. There were ten deputy directors, a member of the bureau team, a director of the political department who enjoyed the treatment of a deputy director, and an office director with the same treatment. Together with the bureau director, a total of thirteen people made up the leadership team of the Municipal Bureau.

The work of “reducing deputies” only started in the 1990s. It was also after the “reduction of deputies” that the local organizations were reduced to only one full-time deputy. Before that, not counting the deputy leaders on the government side, there were several deputy positions on the organization side alone.

After reducing the number of deputies in various departments, the number of people on the leadership team also dropped sharply, with the largest reduction being more than one third.

As soon as Li Yancheng was transferred there, his administrative level was clearly designated as director-general level. Among the deputy positions, which were mostly at deputy director-general level, his status would naturally rise, second only to the executive deputy who was in charge of daily work.

But what is the situation with this Criminal Investigation Corps?
"Jiangong, did you just say the Criminal Investigation Team?"

"Well, the Municipal Bureau has reformed its organization. In order to facilitate more effective work, it has established a Criminal Investigation Corps and a Public Security Management Corps. The Criminal Investigation Department, which is now almost independent, will be completely abolished and its personnel will be incorporated into the Criminal Investigation Corps. You will temporarily serve as the first captain. It is said that a political commissar and three deputy captains will be appointed."

Li Yancheng understood, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good change, which would make it easier for him to carry out his work.
