Pu Yunxuan continued: "I want to straighten things out first and reorganize the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and replace a group of cadres who have not done anything."

"I won't have the chance to investigate the case until I feel at ease. Besides, Wang Qiuhe is a provincial cadre, and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection has no power to directly investigate him."

"We cannot judge whether there is a problem with Wang Qiuhe just based on some reporting letters. We need to request a report from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection."

Chen Yushu asked: "What is the attitude of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection towards this matter?"

"I haven't reported to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection yet, mainly because I want to have enough evidence..." Pu Yunxuan explained.

Li Yuanlang expressed his thoughts, "Comrade Yunxuan, without further ado, Wang Qiuhe has shown signs of escaping. Please report it to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection as soon as possible to control Wang Qiuhe. If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it."

Chen Yushu expressed his position: "What Mayor Li said is absolutely true. Comrade Yunxuan, before your Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection reports to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, I suggest that you consolidate the problem of Wang Qiuhe and obtain convincing evidence. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection can only find it when handling the case.

Stay in the right direction, avoid detours, and investigate the case as quickly as possible."

Pu Yunxuan asked curiously: "Secretary Chen means... not to report immediately?"

Chen Yushu waved his hand hurriedly, "I didn't say that, so don't misunderstand me. I asked you to look for more evidence and don't rush to alert others."

"If Wang Qiuhe is alerted and he runs away, we will be in trouble."

Pu Yunxuan was confused by Chen Yushu's words and was a little confused.

Li Yuanlang said: "Secretary Chen, Wang Qiuhe will leave for the southern city in a few days. I think the key is to report to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection first. Once others fly away, it will be too late."

Chen Yushu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, just follow Mayor Li's wishes. Comrade Yunxuan, if you have anything to do there, report it to me immediately."

I thought this matter would proceed step by step.

What he never expected was that early the next morning, Li Yuanlang suddenly received a call from Chen Zhan.

"Mayor Li, Wang Qiuhe hanged himself last night."

"What!" Li Yuanlang's eyes widened and he was very surprised.

According to Chen Zhan, he had just received the news and was rushing to Wang Qiuhe's other house in Changjin City.

"Contact me anytime about the situation there."

Li Yuanlang did not hesitate and called Chen Yushu immediately.

Chen Yushu's voice was hoarse. When she heard the news that Wang Qiuhe had hanged himself, she was also startled and wondered: "How is it possible? Someone must have leaked the news. Mayor Li, we must pay attention to this matter and do not rule out the possibility of homicide."

"I have a bad throat today. You will supervise this case on behalf of the municipal party committee. We will keep in communication at any time."

When Chen Yushu fell ill, Li Yuanlang, as deputy secretary of the Deping Municipal Party Committee, exercised his power as a matter of course.

Pu Yunxuan was called into the office, and the two of them analyzed it carefully.

Pu Yunxuan said: "Wang Qiuhe's death was strange. We just had suspicions about him yesterday, and something happened at night. There must be something wrong here."

"Secretary Chen means that the possibility of homicide cannot be ruled out." Li Yuanlang thought and said: "There are several doubts about Wang Qiuhe's death. First, if he wanted to die, he would not be in a hurry to sell off his property and would sneak out of the country to be with his wife.

Families gather together.”

"Secondly, if there is a possibility of homicide, it can only be because someone does not want to be left alive. He must have mastered the secret, and this secret will kill his killer, so he has to get rid of it to avoid future troubles."

"In addition, there is a third point. Will Wang Qiuhe die in exchange for the safety of his family? When I was the county magistrate of Daiding County, Xing Dong, deputy magistrate of the Standing Committee, died like this."

"Mayor Li, your analysis is very reasonable." Pu Yunxuan agreed: "When I came here just now, I had already reported Wang Qiuhe's incident to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Secretary Huang."

"Secretary Huang has instructed the comrades from the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to go to Changjin City. Our Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection must fully cooperate with the actions of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection." Pu Yunxuan said.

"Comrade Yunxuan, are you going to Changjin City too?"

"I asked Deputy Secretary Qi to accompany me." Pu Yunxuan suddenly felt something, "Mayor Li, do you want me to take charge?"

"Yes." Li Yuanlang nodded, "If something happens to the secretary of Changjin City, we in Deping must have someone to take charge of it to appease people."

"I understand, I'm going to prepare now." Pu Yunxuan was about to stand up, hesitating for a moment and asked: "Mayor Li, do you want to send someone else or a member of the Standing Committee?"

"Secretary Chen and I have agreed to send Comrade Quan Long to go with you."

Zhang Quanlong is the deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and holds great importance.

The main purpose of his visit was to stabilize people's hearts.

The secretary is dead and the Changjin Municipal Committee is leaderless. The decision of the Deping Municipal Committee must be conveyed.

Chen Yushu and Li Yuanlang agreed to let Chen Zhan temporarily preside over the work of the Changjin Municipal Party Committee until a new Municipal Party Committee Secretary is elected.

Unlike before, Secretary Changjin needs to be appointed by the provincial party committee.

It is not yet known whether the provincial party committee’s opinion is whether he should be promoted locally or brought in from outside.

For local promotion, the municipal party committee must research candidates and recommend them to the organization department of the provincial party committee, and the provincial party committee will make the final decision.

If it is airborne, the consent of the Deping Municipal Party Committee is not required, and the Provincial Party Committee can confirm it.

Of course, it is not Li Yuanlang's responsibility to communicate with the provincial party committee, that is Chen Yushu's authority.

Li Yuanlang secretly thought to himself that Secretary Chen's illness came at just the right time.

In the afternoon of that day, Li Yuanlang received feedback from all parties and confirmed that Wang Qiuhe had indeed died of suicide.

When Li Yuanlang was on the phone with Zhang Quanlong, Zhang Quanlong told him, "The time of Wang Qiuhe's death was around 1 to 3 a.m. this morning."

"The police conducted an on-site investigation and determined that Wang Qiuhe drank more than half a bottle of liquor and smoked more than a box of cigarettes before hanging himself in the room."

"So, he must have been struggling for a long time before." Li Yuanlang relayed the incident about Xing Dong to Zhang Quanlong.

Zhang Quanlong agreed with Li Yuanlang's analysis, "If he were like Xing Dong, someone would have contacted Wang Qiuhe in advance and told him that he had been exposed and that only his death could ensure the safety of his family."

"But the key is that Wang Qiuhe's mobile phone only had call records during the day, not at night. The police retrieved the call information through the telecommunications department and found nothing suspicious."

"The more perfect it is, the more it means there is something wrong here." Li Yuanlang said firmly: "Wang Qiuhe did not get in touch with anyone before he died, which is not consistent with the psychological behavior of a dying person."

"At the very least, we should contact his family, arrange some matters, and say a final farewell. He did nothing, but it showed that the cause of Wang Qiuhe's death was abnormal."

"Quan Long, please urge the Changjin police to work hard in this area and find out who Wang Qiuhe came into contact with before his death, even if it is an inconspicuous person, such as the delivery boy or the garbage collector.

Don’t let anyone go.”

"Don't worry, I will do it." Zhang Quanlong acknowledged that he was a public security officer, so he was familiar with this area and knew the direction and ideas for handling cases.

After this incident, Li Yuanlang was bored in the office for a long time and did not come out.

After get off work in the evening, Li Yuanlang still sat in his chair in a daze.

Fang Yan knocked on the door and came in. He brought a bowl of hot noodle soup and placed it neatly on the sofa and coffee table with chopsticks arranged.

"Mayor, you haven't eaten much all day, please eat some, otherwise your body will not be able to survive."

Fang Yan could tell that Li Yuanlang might have to stay up all night.

"I'm not hungry." Li Yuanlang picked up the thermos cup and saw that there was no water. He said to Fang Yan, "Give me some more water."

Fang Yan took the thermos cup, poured out the tea leaves, put new tea leaves in it, and after brewing, placed his hands in front of Li Yuanlang.

"Mayor, these are the noodles I asked the canteen master to make. Please try them. Not eating is not good for your health."

Li Yuanlang smiled bitterly and had no choice but to walk to the sofa and look at the two plump white poached eggs with sparkling oil, which aroused his appetite and took a sip of the soup first.

"It tastes good." Li Yuanlang praised, "Xiao Fang, the taste is comparable to the hot noodle soup you cooked for me that time."

Fang Yan scratched his head and said, "Mayor, please stop teasing me. You were hungry at that time and everything you ate tasted delicious. My cooking skills are good at cooking things well, how can I compare with professionals.

"

"You are being modest." Li Yuanlang said matter-of-factly: "A bowl of noodles may seem ordinary, but it's really not easy to make it well."

Fang Yan brought the thermos cup to Li Yuanlang, sat opposite him, and listened humbly to Li Yuanlang's comments on his cooking skills.

But before he could say anything, his cell phone rang.
