Procrastination

Pang Lei's words gradually made Huo Bo's eyes look strange.

If this was said by someone else, Huo Bo would think that the other party really had this idea, but who is Pang Lei?

He was personally appointed by Yu Xuewen, the county party secretary, to be by his side to monitor him.

Huo Bo was not a die-hard supporter of Yu Xuewen from the beginning, so he put a confidant by his side, and this confidant was Pang Lei.

And Gu Zhiming is also a die-hard supporter of Yu Xuewen. You are all in the same camp. Now you actually say that you want to list Gu Zhiming as a suspect for investigation. Do you really want to investigate, or are you deliberately testing yourself?

"Old Pang, there are no outsiders here. Tell me, do you want to list Deputy County Mayor Gu as a suspect and start an investigation?"

Huo Bo asked back: "You are the executive deputy director, I want to hear your opinion. If you say you want to investigate, I will agree immediately. You can invite Deputy County Mayor Gu to question me now, and I have no objection!"

This...

Counterattack?

Pang Lei didn't expect that Huo Bo would do this to him and let him express his opinion!

Isn't this shirking responsibility? No matter what happens in the future, he can take the blame.

"Director, what you said... You are the director, you should make the decision!"

Pang Lei laughed awkwardly and said quickly.

Now you know I am the director?

"So, as the deputy director, should you listen to me?"

Huo Bo asked with a gloomy face.

"That's for sure."

Pang Lei vaguely felt that Huo Bo was going to set a trap for him, but he still bit the bullet and nodded.

"In that case, I will order you as the director to lead the team immediately and bring Deputy County Magistrate Gu Zhiming here as the first suspect for questioning."

Huo Bo said bluntly.

This...

Pang Lei was a little dumbfounded. Isn't this deliberately embarrassing himself?

At this point, if he led the team to arrest Gu Zhiming, even if he accepted the questioning, he would definitely offend Gu Zhiming. He is the deputy county magistrate and Secretary Yu's confidant. Although he is also a confidant, his status is not as good as his. He will definitely be bullied in the future!

"Director, you... this is too..."

Pang Lei was embarrassed and dared not agree.

"Old Pang, I don't want to beat around the bush with you. You are Secretary Yu's man. What do you think should be done about this matter?"

Huo Bo went through so much trouble just to let the other party express his position.

No matter what decision is made, Pang Lei must make it. In this way, he at least doesn't have to take the blame. Otherwise, he will not be able to explain himself if he is right.

"Director, I think this audio material has an unknown origin and is unknown to be true or false. It cannot be believed. It is better to... put it aside and wait and see..."

Pang Lei thought about it and said simply.

Put it aside?

Just based on these four words, Huo Bo understood what the other party meant.

Put it aside for now and delay the time!

Once the two days are up, the case must be closed. By then, it doesn't matter whether the audio material is true or false, because there is no time to investigate anyway.

As long as nothing new is found, this audio material can be regarded as fake!

"Okay, since Deputy Director Pang thinks this material may be fake, let's put it aside for now."

Huo Bo nodded slightly, gave the audio material to the other party, and said, "You can send it to keep it!"

"Okay!"

Pang Lei took the USB drive and walked out directly.

Huo Bo sat in the office with a worried look on his face. He knew very well that this audio material was 99% true. Gu Zhiming was very well-known in the circle of the county. In addition to the fact that the other party was the deputy county magistrate and the Gu family was well-known, there was another reason.

That is, he likes beautiful women!

Fang Ailan's level is not the best, but in a small county, she is already very good. It is normal for Gu Zhiming to have feelings for her. She is also his liaison. They work together. If nothing happens, who would believe it?

But now Yu Xuewen obviously wants to protect Gu Zhiming and define Fang Ailan's case as suicide!

If there is no new breakthrough in the next two days, this case will be concluded, and the audio will probably never come out.

...

In the morning, Pang Lei made a special trip to Yu Xuewen's office and made a brief report.

"So, Comrade Huo Bo agreed to your proposal to treat the audio material as false evidence and not refer to it?"

Yu Xuewen said lightly.

"That's right, he didn't insist this time. As soon as I said it, he agreed."

Pang Lei nodded and responded.

Nonsense!

That was exchanged for the position of the county party committee standing committee!

Yu Xuewen knew very well that one of the important reasons why Huo Bo did not insist on investigating was that he was moved by his proposal.

As long as Gu Zhiming passed the test safely this time, Huo Bo could be transferred from the position of deputy county magistrate to the position of county party committee standing committee member and secretary of the Political and Legal Committee!

Perhaps the resources and manpower that the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee can mobilize are not as good as those of the Public Security Bureau Director, but the county party committee standing committee member is a hard indicator for continued promotion.

Only by becoming a member of the county party committee standing committee can one become the executive deputy county magistrate or the deputy secretary of the county party committee in the next step!

…

After Qin Mu sent Zhao Yanan away in the morning, he returned to the office. He waited for news from the Public Security Bureau all morning. Logically, they submitted the audio materials, and the Public Security Bureau should investigate Gu Zhiming.

But this morning, it was quiet and there was no movement.

What is Huo Bo waiting for?

Could it be that Huo Bo was really won over by Yu Xuewen and completely became a member of Yu Xuewen's camp?

This result is very likely, because he is the county party secretary and has almost the power to decide personnel matters!

If Huo Bo wants to continue to be promoted in the county, he must pass the county party secretary level.

Even if this is true, Qin Mu can only wait until tomorrow to ask about the situation. After two days of solving the case, Huo Bo should give himself a result tomorrow.

"County magistrate, Tianke Group's General Manager Tian has already gone to Wanghe Town. Do you think... should we go over there?"

At this time, Secretary Jiang Haoxuan walked in and said.

Today is the day when Tianke Group Jiangzhou Branch and Wanghe Town Government signed an investment agreement. As the actual promoter of this project, he naturally has to go over to supervise.

"Okay, let's go over and take a look!"

Qin Mu nodded slightly, stood up, walked out of the office, got in the car, and rushed to Wanghe Town!

"County Magistrate Qin!"

As soon as Qin Mu got out of the car, Tian Weiwei quickly came over, holding Qin Mu's hand with her slender little hand, and did not let go for a long time.

"Today, County Magistrate Qin seems to have a more rosy complexion than usual!"

Tian Weiwei suddenly came up and whispered, "I heard that the battle was fierce last night. County Magistrate Qin is almost 30 years old, but he is still strong and healthy. It's not easy!"

This...

Qin Mu's face turned red all of a sudden.

This woman is really crazy. When there are so many people around, she said such bold words to him?

Did she do it on purpose?
