In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

"Boss, why don't you take a break?"

Secretary Jia's face was full of concern, her eyes revealing a mixture of anxiety, panic, and just the right amount of care.

Tian Guofu rubbed his bloodshot eyes, his tear ducts kept secreting tears, and he was so sore that he could hardly open his eyes.

An overnight interrogation is not simply about staying up all night; it is a psychological battle of one-on-one or even one-to-many, requiring constant adjustments to the interrogation methods based on the investigative information reported from Jiangdong.

Tian Guofu felt like he was going to lose several years of his life.

"I can still hold on."

"don’t worry!"

Tian Guofu patted his secretary on the shoulder, his mood improving considerably. "If you can't hold on, you can go back and rest."

"Boss, I can do it."

Xiao Jia immediately expressed his determination.

As the secretary who doesn't sleep until the boss does, and gets up before the boss even wakes up, how can I rest at this crucial moment? Wouldn't that be equivalent to deserting?

As for when to rest...

Secretary Jia had only one sentence: "After death, one will sleep forever; why sleep so much while alive?"

roll!

He wants to eliminate all the secretaries of the provincial party committee standing committee.

"I want to take advantage of Chang Hui's testimony to conduct another interrogation with Qian Laizhi."

Tian Guofu forced himself to stay alert.

Unlike Cao Minde and Chang Hui, whose cases were supported by conclusive evidence, Min Zhong and Qian Laizhi could only be considered as cooperating with internal talks, and it was impossible for them to detain people at the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection for an extended period of time.

"Boss, wait a minute!"

Secretary Jia called out to the boss who was about to turn around.

After breaking through the defenses, Chang Hui fully confessed his cooperation with Si Tianyu, including but not limited to acting as a protector, canceling and fabricating identity information, and the dirty stuff in the Hundred Cities War. The two of them, one distributing goods and the other catching them, cooperated perfectly.

They even revealed the names of some members of the Municipal Procuratorate and the Municipal Intermediate People's Court who were involved in the "resurrection."

But the essential things are missing.

All his crimes were confined to the political and legal system. In desperation, he insisted that he received instructions from Qian Laizhi, but there was no evidence whatsoever.

It was all suggestive language delivered face-to-face.

This wasn't the first time Tian Guofu had used Chang Hui's confession to talk to Qian Laizhi, and in the end, it was all just talk about dereliction of duty, self-criticism, and correction.

Even if it continues...

The "endurance tactic" might just wear down your own boss.

"Boss, please come with me over there."

Xiao Jia pointed to a secluded corner, then Dao Fantiangang waved to the boss, indicating that...

"What's wrong?"

Tian Guofu was puzzled.

But I still followed them.

"I was watching from the monitoring room the whole time you were questioning me."

Secretary Jia mysteriously pulled out a notebook and handed it over. When opened, it revealed a portrait of a person, with all the testimonies and corresponding personality analyses written down below the portrait.

"Boss, don't you think Qian Laizhi and Chang Hui look familiar?"

Xiao Jia asked.

"What do you mean...?"

Tian Guofu instinctively asked a question, but looking at the notebook in his hand, he suddenly remembered something and stopped abruptly, "Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei?"

"right!"

Secretary Jia nodded. "Actually, Secretary Gao has a great influence on cadres in the political and legal system of Handong. He is outstanding. He became a professor of political and legal affairs at Handong University before he was thirty years old. He can be described as a prodigy. He has students all over the world, such as the three outstanding students of Handong University in the past."

"His reputation might be a bit bad."

"But that doesn't stop many officials from regarding Secretary Gao as an idol."

"Qian Laizhi has a low level of education, having only graduated from a vocational school. He entered the public security system by chance and has risen to his current position step by step. Judging from his behavior, such as forming the Jiangdong Gang and privately addressing Chang Hui and others as his master and apprentice, it all shows that he is imitating Secretary Gao."

Xiao Jia lowered his voice and looked around furtively, afraid of being overheard by outsiders.

After all, criticizing a member of the provincial party committee standing committee would invite criticism if word got out.

"Let's look at the inner workings."

"Your subordinates have a lot of dirty deeds, but you yourself are never implicated. Isn't that a bit similar?"

Xiao Jia's true colors were revealed at the last minute.

"Xiao Jia, you've given me such a big surprise!"

Tian Guofu was very happy and privately discussed what had happened to Gao Yuliang.

His secretary should be on his side. If it was a power struggle before, it turned into a physical aversion after that internal conversation.

Even more despicable than rat poison and Lin Zhiyuan!

"Gao Yuliang is not someone to be trifled with!"

Tian Guofu's smile quickly faded, his brows furrowing. "Even if it's just an imitator who has grasped the essence!"

"Everyone has desires."

Secretary Jia's eyes gleamed. This time, he was going to make a great contribution, and even the King of Heaven himself couldn't stop him. "Everyone says that Secretary Gao is upright and honest. There are also rumors within the Provincial Political and Legal Committee that Secretary Gao often laments being handpicked by Secretary Liang. To put it bluntly, he is greedy for fame and power."

"So Qian Laizhi must also have something he wanted, and this is very likely the basis for his cooperation with the person behind the scenes."

Xiao Jia flipped through his notebook, which contained excerpts of real-time comments from some Jiangdong IP users during the live broadcast of the program.

"Because of the illegal and disciplinary violations of the four major systems of public security, procuratorate, court, and justice, Qian Laizhi has a bad reputation in Jiangdong."

"By checking his account through the bank system and combining it with Chang Hui's statement, no abnormalities were found in the financial transactions, so he is probably not greedy."

"It's mostly subordinates who are embezzling money."

"As for progress..."

"He has been the secretary of the municipal political and legal committee for seven or eight years. I specifically called to inquire about the evaluation from the organization department. Based on public feedback and age restrictions, it is unlikely that he will be promoted further against the trend."

Secretary Jia summarized, "Qian Laizhi has a bad reputation, isn't greedy for money, and has a desire for power but a low ceiling, so what might his pursuit be?"

Xiao Jia did not give a clear answer.

But Tian Guofu was very excited. He had finally grasped the key to breaking the deadlock. "Go and help me retrieve all the information about Qian Laizhi's personal information, family, relatives and friends, including the so-called master-disciple relationship chain."

"Xiao Jia, well done!"

"I'll give you a big credit for this."

clear!

Xiao Jia immediately accepted the order and rushed off to gather information.

"What a pity..."

Tian Guofu took a deep look at Secretary Jia's departing figure, and the smile on his face vanished completely.

After half an hour.

Tian Guofu pushed open the door to the detention room again, holding only a thin sheet of A4 paper in his hand.

"Secretary Tian, ​​can I take a break?"

Qian Laizhi remained expressionless, but for the first time, he spoke up, "I can cooperate with the investigation and am willing to accept the organization's punishment for my inadequate supervision, but my body is starting to give out."

He covered his chest with his hand.

They were clearly expressing their physical discomfort.

"Of course, health comes first."

Tian Guofu smiled and said, "So let's finish this round of talks as soon as possible, Comrade Lei Zhi."

"good!"

Qian Laizhi frowned, but wearily straightened his body, waiting for the next round of questioning.

"No new discoveries were made this time."

Tian Guofu waved the papers in his hand. "But I'd like to hear about your wife and child."
