Official excuse: I was sent to work at the grassroots level for training, and Hou Liangping arrested

Then, after cleaning up the scene, I easily left the building, got into my Toyota Prado through the back door, and drove off.

137. Tian Guofu: I suspect that Lin Yunfei is the mole.

137. Tian Guofu: I suspect that Lin Yunfei is the mole.

Tian Guofu's attempt to steal the credit backfired spectacularly. He had hoped to gain credit by capturing Gao Mingyuan ahead of time, but Gao Mingyuan was instead sniped and killed by a mysterious figure.

Tian Guofu walked out of Gao Mingyuan's office, his face full of dejection. He took out his phone and dialed the landline in Sha Ruijin's office.

"Secretary Sha, something terrible has happened. Gao Mingyuan has been murdered, judging from the scene..."

"The criminal investigation captain of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau judged that it should be a sniper rifle."

. . . . .

"Moreover, the gunman's methods were extremely professional, killing with a single shot and leaving no clues." Tian Guofu's voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that this incident had a significant impact on him.

Sha Ruijin remained silent for a moment, his expression turning serious, and asked, "Was there anyone else at the scene who witnessed the gunman?"

Tian Guofu replied, "No, there was no May 27th. Gao Mingyuan was working on documents in his office when he was suddenly sniped. The building's surveillance cameras did not capture any suspicious individuals."

"I have now ordered the site to be sealed off. And I have instructed the police to detect the ballistics as soon as possible and locate the sniper position."

After a moment's hesitation, Tian Guofu cautiously spoke, "Secretary Sha, I personally believe... there's a mole within the Public Security Bureau who leaked the information."

"I suspect that Executive Deputy Director Lin Yunfei is a major suspect in leaking secrets."

You should know that I have my doubts about such statements. They are heavily influenced by personal subjectivity.

Sha Ruijin frowned, suppressing a nameless anger, and commanded, "This matter has a very serious impact and must be investigated as soon as possible. Immediately notify the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau and have them fully cooperate with our investigation. At the same time, strengthen security measures for members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee and vice-ministerial level officials to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

He really wanted to slap Tian Guofu twice. All he did was say "I suspect," without any real evidence.

Besides, Sha Ruijin simply didn't believe that Lin Yunfei would hire someone to kill someone.

Who is he? He's a third-generation member of the Lin family in Beijing, extremely powerful and influential.

Lin Yunfei has a bright future; why would he commit a crime? This is utterly insane.

Sha Ruijin pondered for a moment, his tone carrying an undeniable authority: "Tian Guofu, I understand your suspicions. However, we cannot draw conclusions lightly without solid evidence. Do you understand what I mean?"

Tian Guofu nodded hurriedly, his voice tinged with fear: "Yes, yes. I understand, Secretary Sha. I will find evidence as soon as possible to prove Comrade Lin Yunfei's innocence."

Sha Ruijin snorted coldly, clearly displeased with Tian Guofu's hasty suspicion: "As soon as possible? You'd better give me a definite time. Otherwise, you can forget about being the provincial discipline inspection secretary and a member of the provincial standing committee."

Sha Ruijin's attitude towards the Lin family has always been consistent.

That means trying your best not to offend them, lest you bring trouble upon the Lin and Zhao families.

He came to Handong Province with a political mission.

Tian Guofu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly assured him, "Please rest assured, Secretary Sha, I will find the truth in the shortest possible time."

. . . . .

Tian Guofu was startled and nodded quickly, saying, "Yes, Secretary Sha. I'll arrange it right away."

After hanging up the phone, Sha Ruijin fell into deep thought. Gao Mingyuan's death undoubtedly cast a shadow over the upcoming anti-corruption campaign.

The appearance of the mysterious sniper has made the whole incident even more perplexing.

This broke the trail.

Sha Ruijin knew that at this critical moment, any slight disturbance could cause unnecessary panic and speculation. He had to remain calm and make decisions quickly and accurately.

He picked up the red secure landline on the table and dialed the number of Qi Tongwei, the director of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province. In a commanding tone, he said, "Director Qi, your Public Security Bureau must immediately dispatch its most capable veteran criminal investigators to assist the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau in investigating the case of Gao Mingyuan's assassination."

At that moment, Qi Tongwei was driving his Land Cruiser Prado at breakneck speed towards the Provincial Public Security Bureau when he received a call from Sha Ruijin, the Provincial Party Secretary.

Qi Tongwei couldn't help but sneer inwardly; Sha Ruijin was scared and couldn't sit still. However, on the surface, he still answered respectfully, "Yes, Secretary Sha. Our Provincial Public Security Department will definitely do its utmost to assist the Jingzhou Municipal Bureau in investigating this case."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei's eyes turned ashen. A cold smile appeared on his lips.

Sha Ruijin would never have imagined that I was the mole.

. . . . .

Qi Tongwei is no ordinary person; he has his own ambitions.

So he sped up and drove straight to the Provincial Public Security Bureau. He was already plotting how to resolve this case... and completely clear his name of any wrongdoing.

After hanging up the phone, Sha Ruijin stood by the window, gazing at the bustling city outside. His heart was filled with worry; the waters of Handong Province were utterly murky.

Sarrijin knew that this struggle had only just begun, and he was ready to meet any challenge.

"Yunfei, where are you now? There's something... I'd like to discuss with you."

Sha Ruijin walked to his desk, picked up his red secure phone, and dialed Lin Yunfei's mobile number.

Lin Yunfei snapped out of his daze, remaining silent for a full fifteen seconds as his mind raced: "Secretary Sha, what...instructions do you have?"

He was somewhat confused about what Sha Ruijin was planning.

Sha Ruijin said earnestly, "Yunfei, how about this? You come to the Provincial Party Committee."

"Gao Mingyuan, this underworld boss, was killed by a mysterious person with a sniper rifle..." Sha Ruijin slowly spoke, his words startling.

Gao Mingyuan was killed? And by a sniper?

Lin Yunfei looked displeased and retorted, "Secretary Sha, I really didn't know about this matter. I wasn't at the Public Security Bureau today; I was at the Jingzhou Municipal Government."

"To carry out investment promotion work."

Sha Ruijin said calmly, "I know you weren't there. I don't suspect you, don't overthink it."

Lin Yunfei sneered inwardly, "You son of a bitch, you don't trust me?"

However, he still said aloud, "Secretary Sha, don't worry. I will definitely cooperate with the 0.7 Provincial Party Committee to thoroughly investigate this matter, find the sniper, and bring him to justice."

Sha Ruijin nodded, seemingly satisfied with Lin Yunfei's statement: "Yes, Yunfei. I'll leave this matter to you. I trust you; I believe you can handle it well."

Lin Yunfei's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly assured, "Please rest assured, Secretary Sha, I will do my utmost to find out the truth."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yunfei fell into deep thought. He knew that there must be some unknown secret behind Gao Mingyuan's assassination.

Moreover, this secret is likely to involve Jingzhou City, and even the entire officialdom of Handong Province.

He had to be careful not to let anyone discover any clues.

Lin Yunfei stood up and walked to the window. Gazing at the bustling city outside, his eyes hardened.

138. A direct confrontation with Sha Ruijin is an insurmountable barrier.

138. A direct confrontation with Sha Ruijin is an insurmountable barrier.

Lin Yunfei, wearing a white shirt, got into his Range Rover and sped off to the Provincial Party Committee building.

Upon arriving at the provincial party committee building, Secretary Bai personally came over and opened the car door.

Secretary Bai bowed slightly, his attitude respectful: "Secretary Lin, Secretary Sha has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Thank you for your hard work, Director Bai." Lin Yunfei slowly stepped out of the Land Rover and straightened his collar.

“This is my secretary, Liu Can.” Lin Yunfei paused for a moment and pointed to Liu Can.

Secretary Bai snapped out of her daze and extended her right hand: "Hello, Director Liu. The lounge is this way."

He strode into Sha Ruijin's office.

Lin Yunfei remained expressionless, head held high and chest out. He raised his right hand and saluted.

Sha Ruijin sat in a chair, head down, pen in hand, signing an appointment document.

[Sha Ruijin, Secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee, appointed Comrade Lin Yunfei to concurrently serve as Secretary of the Guangming District Party Committee and Secretary of the Party Group.]

Sha Ruijin looked up and smiled slightly: "Yunfei, you've come. Please sit down."

Lin Yunfei nodded and sat on the sofa opposite Sha Ruijin, number 19. Liu Can stood behind Lin Yunfei.

Sha Ruijin put down his pen and handed the signed appointment document to Lin Yunfei: "This is your new appointment letter. From today onwards, you will concurrently serve as the Party Secretary of Guangming District."

"You should know that after Ding Yizhen's treason, you were promoted to become the Party Secretary of Guangming District."

"After all the twists and turns, we've come full circle," Sha Ruijin said slowly and amiably, adopting a humble attitude in an attempt to build rapport.

Lin Yunfei took the appointment letter, read it carefully, then looked up and said expressionlessly, "Secretary Sha, I will do my best to contribute to the development of Guangming District."

Lin Yunfei was very clever, and he spoke in official jargon and nonsense.

Sha Ruijin nodded in satisfaction: "I believe in you. Guangming District is an important main urban area of ​​Jingzhou City, Handong Province, and your task is very important. However, I believe you are capable of handling this position."

"Don't worry, I, Sha Ruijin, will fully support you."

Lin Yunfei saluted again, his expression calm and composed: "Thank you for your trust, Secretary Sha. I will... work hard."

Sha Ruijin smiled and waved his hand, his attitude amiable, and then asked with concern, "Yunfei, did the Grand Secretary and Grand Secretary Zhao give you any instructions before you came from the capital to Handong for your training?"

Lin Yunfei remained expressionless and answered calmly, "The Grand Secretary and Grand Secretary Zhao only said one sentence to me."

Sha Ruijin's eyes lit up immediately, and he eagerly asked, "What did you say?"

"Serve the people wholeheartedly."

Lin Yunfei slowly stood up, stood at attention, and saluted. Then, he picked up his provincial party committee appointment document.

This document not only bears a signature but also the official seal of Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin.

It's clear that Sha Ruijin is going to great lengths to curry favor with him.

Sha Ruijin was speechless for a moment, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face. This Lin Yunfei is truly a sly fox.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Elder Lin and Elder Zhao personally mentored three generations of their family. How could he possibly be a good-for-nothing?

Thinking of this, Sha Ruijin softened his tone and said, "Yunfei, when I was in Beijing, I heard that you founded the Flying Tiger Group."

This statement was also a test.

Lin Yunfei stared at Sha Ruijin expressionlessly: "Secretary Sha, if you think I've violated the rules, you can dismiss me from my post."

"As long as you can take the corresponding responsibility." Lin Yunfei said, then gave a cold laugh.

This statement carries a veiled threat. It's a threat to Sha Ruijin: You don't need to threaten me with this.

This is not something I can use against me. As long as you use your power to dismiss me and let me return to the capital, that is enough.
