June 16th, 8: 10 PM.
Shi Lei returned to Jingya Court and talked to Mu Shuang and Lingyumo on the phone for a while. He asked about the two girls' health before he focused on optimizing the IWN Secret Network.
The structure of the IWN Secret Network could be further optimized. Shi Lei slowly optimized the IWN Secret Network. This task required a lot of time, and Izur could not help.
Izur did not have the ability to innovate, so he could only help Shi Lei with the verification work.
At 8: 40 PM, Bai Qiang arrived at the Shuangqing Government Building in Zhongyu District.
The Shuangqing Government was still suppressing the news of Xie Nanfeng's disappearance. A dignified Deputy Mayor of a city directly under his jurisdiction had disappeared without a trace. This was simply ridiculous!
In a small conference room in the Shuangqing Government Building, Mayor Wang Hong, Deputy Mayor Meng Xun, three other Deputy Mayors, the Director of the Disciplinary Committee, and the National Security Bureau were discussing Shi Lei's matter.
These three Deputy Mayors were Deputy Mayor Chen Boyi, who was in charge of construction.
Chen Boyi and Xie Nanfeng's relationship was not shallow. The two families even had a marriage contract. Xie Nanfeng's son was the fiancé of Chen Boyi's daughter. The two families were in a standard political marriage.
Chen Boyi was very concerned about Xie Nanfeng's disappearance. He was also the most active in investigating Shi Lei. He was even a little aggressive.
Chen Boyi advocated arresting Shi Lei directly and then torturing him to force him to reveal Xie Nanfeng's whereabouts.
Chen Boyi thought that Shi Lei had kidnapped Xie Nanfeng and put him under house arrest. He did not even think that Shi Lei had already killed Xie Nanfeng.
After all, Xie Nanfeng was the Deputy Mayor of Shuangqing City. He was a senior leader under Xia Xia. He thought that Shi Lei would not dare to touch Xie Nanfeng.
The other two Deputy Mayors were Fang Haowen, who was in charge of education, and Qiao Yishang, who was in charge of the environment. These two Deputy Mayors were like soy sauce. In terms of authority, they were not as powerful as Xie Nanfeng and Chen Boyi. They were also not as powerful as the First Deputy Mayor Meng Xun.
The last person in the meeting was the director of the Disciplinary Committee. This white-haired old man had a lot of power in Shuangqing City. Other than the mayor, Wang Hong, he was only slightly lower than Meng Xun.
The power of the Disciplinary Committee was no small matter. This department was the department that officials were most unwilling to deal with. Anything that was related to the Disciplinary Committee was definitely not a good thing.
As for the National Security Bureau, that's a good place!
Shi Lei had met Director Wang Zhong of the National Security Bureau of Shuangqing City before.
The seven big shots of Shuangqing City were having a discussion in a small conference room of the municipal government building. The conference room was filled with smoke and looked like a fairyland.
"Dong, dong, dong ~"
There was a knock on the wooden door of the conference room. Deputy Mayor Qiao Yishang, who had the lowest status, stood up and walked to the door. He asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"
"Bai Qiang." Bai Qiang's voice came from outside the door.
The cautious attitude of the two made it seem as if they were doing some kind of underground work!
Qiao Yishang opened the wooden door of the meeting room and let Bai Qiang in.
After Bai Qiang came in, the big shots of Shuangqing City all looked at Bai Qiang. Their eyes revealed a sense of inquiry. Bai Qiang went to Shuanghu District to investigate Shi Lei under the orders of Mayor Wang Hong.
"Old Bai, how is the investigation going?
Is Shi Lei a big suspect? "
Wang Hong asked first. Regarding Xie Nanfeng's disappearance, Shi Lei was not a big suspect. Who was the big suspect?
In the entire Shuangqing City, only Shi Lei had the power and the guts to kidnap Xie Nanfeng and had a grudge against him!
Bai Qiang shook his head. "Shi Lei's suspicion has been reduced. Mayor, we overlooked one thing. We blindly thought that someone tampered with the image information of the security monitoring system, but is it possible that someone with the authority to control the security monitoring system turned off the security monitoring system?"
Chen Boyi took the lead and questioned, "Turned off the security monitoring system?
What about the surveillance footage from that night? "
Bai Qiang coughed and calmly explained, "Deputy Mayor Chen, on the way back, I have already consulted the experts in the bureau.
If the security monitoring system is turned off, it won't be too difficult to change the time stamp of the other surveillance record and fake it as a surveillance record of a certain period of time. "
"You mean that the security monitoring system was turned off on the night of Deputy Mayor Xie's disappearance, and the surveillance record was the image of another time, but after changing the time stamp, it was edited and saved in the surveillance record of that night?" Chen Boyi asked coldly.
"That's right!
Deputy Mayor Chen, I have already asked the experts in the bureau. There is a management loophole in the surveillance record of our security monitoring system.
The security monitoring record's access authority is very low. There are at least more than 3,000 people in Shuangqing City who have access to the security monitoring record.
Furthermore, these security monitoring records would be deleted every seven days.
Even if someone used the past surveillance video to replace the surveillance record of the day of Deputy Mayor Xie's disappearance, we can't find the original record. "Bai Qiang said with a bitter smile.
Wang Hong said with an ugly expression, "Old Bai, do you mean that we can't investigate the case of Deputy Mayor Xie's disappearance?"
"Mayor, it's not that we can't investigate, but it's very difficult.
The experts in the bureau are investigating and counting the people who have checked the surveillance record of Zhongshan Road, and screening the people who have downloaded it.
These people are all suspects, and the security monitoring record in their hands may be replaced with the surveillance record of the day of Deputy Mayor Xie's disappearance. "Bai Qiang explained the investigation plan.
However, Bai Qiang immediately said with a bitter face, "Mayor, this investigation plan requires a lot of investigation. We can't find anything in a short time!"
Wang Hong frowned deeply. Shuangqing City couldn't keep the case of a Deputy Mayor with real power under wraps.
Chen Boyi snorted coldly, "Director Bai, in my opinion, investigating the case of Deputy Mayor Xie's disappearance is not difficult at all. As long as we directly arrest Shi Lei and interrogate Shi Lei, everything will be fine!
Humph, Director Bai, I heard that you and Shi Lei are close friends. Is it because of this reason that you don't want to arrest Shi Lei? "
Bai Qiang's expression slightly changed.
Wang Hong suddenly looked at Bai Qiang and frowned, "Old Bai, is what Deputy Mayor Chen said true?"
"Mayor, I do have a good personal relationship with Shi Lei.
However, this is not the reason why I want to protect Shi Lei. "
Bai Qiang didn't argue. Many people in Shuangqing City knew that he and Shi Lei had a close personal relationship. Quibbling was useless.
Wang Hong snorted, "Old Bai, you must distinguish between public and private affairs!
This matter is related to the disappearance of a Deputy Mayor. This is a serious case!
Do you understand? "
Bai Qiang forced a smile and said, "Mayor, am I, Bai Qiang, the kind of person who can't distinguish between public and private affairs?
Shi Lei is not an ordinary person, and he has a great influence in Shuangqing City.
Moreover, Shi Lei has an unusual relationship with Rongcheng Military District. If we touch Shi Lei easily, the Rongcheng Military District may come to us and ask for him. "
"Oh?" Wang Hong's face revealed a trace of disbelief.
Bai Qiang looked at Meng Xun and motioned him to support him.
Meng Xun and Bai Qiang had an offensive and defensive relationship. Even if Bai Qiang didn't remind him, he was prepared to help Bai Qiang. "Old Wang, this Shi Lei's relationship with the Rongcheng Military Region is indeed very good.
Rumor has it that the Commander He of Rongcheng Military District has a good personal relationship with Shi Lei. "
"He Zhenbang?" Wang Hong's face suddenly changed. Problems involving the military were indeed very thorny.
"Yes, it's He Zhenbang, Commander He.
Old Wang, this Shi Lei is an active member of Rongcheng Military District with a military rank of Major.
He's only 20 years old this year. A 20-year-old Major, you know what that means, right? "
Meng Xun was the first deputy mayor of Shuangqing City. He was in a direct competition with Wang Hong. In fact, he couldn't wait for something to happen to Wang Hong. However, he had no choice but to help Bai Qiang and Shi Lei when it came to Shi Lei.
"Old Meng, who is this Shi Lei?
Is he the illegitimate son of some big shot in Beijing?
Or does he have some other background? "
Wang Hong was the Mayor of Shuangqing City. In Xia Xia's official system, he was almost at the second highest level.
The highest level of Xia Xia's official system was always indispensable for the Mayor of Shuangqing City. At present, in Xia Xia's Nine Great Elders Association, one of the Great Elders was the former Mayor of Shuangqing City.
This was also the reason why Wang Hong stayed in Beijing for a long time. Wang Hong was basically sure that in the next Great Elder election, even if he couldn't enter the Nine Great Elders Association, he could still enter the next level of the General Department.
With Wang Hong's identity, if Shi Lei was really the illegitimate son of some high-level official, it was impossible for Wang Hong not to know.
Therefore, Wang Hong was very curious about Shi Lei's identity.
Bai Qiang hesitated for a moment and answered truthfully, "Mayor, Shi Lei's identity is not special."
"No special identity?"
Wang Hong rubbed his temples and asked tentatively, "Old Bai, if we insist on arresting Shi Lei, what do you think the consequences will be?"
Listening to Wang Hong's words, Chen Boyi's face showed a smile, but Bai Qiang and Meng Xun's faces didn't look so good.
"Mayor, if we insist on arresting Shi Lei, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.
As I said before, Shi Lei's influence in Shuangqing City is very big. If we want to arrest him, it may cause a lot of trouble. "Bai Qiang obviously didn't want to forcibly arrest Shi Lei, so he evaded the question.
"How big is his influence?
This is Shuangqing City, and I'm the Mayor of Shuangqing City!
Old Bai, I just want to ask, if I want to arrest Shi Lei, can the police catch Shi Lei? "Wang Hong's tone was serious.
Wang Hong's tough attitude showed that this was Shuangqing City, and he was worthy of being the number one person in Shuangqing City!
His authority couldn't be challenged!
Bai Qiang nodded affirmatively. "Yes, we can!"
"It's good that you can!" Wang Hong laughed.
Chen Boyi hurriedly said, "Director Bai, why don't you hurry up and arrest Shi Lei?"
Bai Qiang glanced at Meng Xun. As the first deputy mayor of Shuangqing City, although Meng Xun was above tens of thousands of people, after all, he was only below one person. He nodded slightly.
Bai Qiang sighed and turned to the door of the conference room.
