Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Sun Xing's family members almost shouted these words, and to everyone, these words meant only one thing, which was to find out the truth of the matter, to get an explanation for Sun Xing, to deal with the officials responsible for this matter fairly and reasonably, and to make the incident public.

"Don't worry. I, Feng Sizhe, solemnly declare here that I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you a clear explanation. If the matter is investigated, no matter who is involved, I will never protect them. This person is Comrade Wu Guangrong, Deputy Secretary of the Dahu County Party Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. If you don't believe me, you can ask Secretary Wu. If I really will protect some officials, will Secretary Wu agree to it?" Feng Sizhe looked at the people who were crowded outside the county party committee compound and made his own promise. At the same time, he said that the comrades of the Discipline Inspection Commission could supervise him.

"Don't worry, I can speak impartially on behalf of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. If anyone abuses their power for personal gain or perverts the law in this bombing, I, Wu Guangrong, will be the first to disagree. No matter who he is or what position he holds, the Commission for Discipline Inspection will investigate thoroughly and give everyone and the people a fair and just explanation."

"Good!" Wu Guangrong's words immediately aroused cheers and approval from the people present.

"Well, if you believe in the county party committee and county government, then please go back. You should also know that it is wrong to guard the gate of the county party committee compound like this. If you seriously interfere with the work of the county party committee, you will be held accountable for legal liability." Seeing that everyone believed what he said, Feng Sizhe persuaded everyone to leave.

With the efforts of Feng Sizhe and the Standing Committee members, Sun Xing's family members finally left, and the onlookers also left with Feng Sizhe's appearance. The noisy scene returned to calm. Feng Sizhe glanced at Cui Yan, the director of the county party committee office, and said, "Director Cui, please notify everyone to convene a county party committee standing committee meeting immediately."

Cui Yan made a mistake last time and was sent to the countryside by the former county party secretary Sun Shicun. He stayed there for several months and suffered a lot. He was also excluded from the core circle of the county party committee. Even the current secretary Fang Xianzhi didn't like him. In fact, he was already an idle person with a position but no power. He had been regretting what he had done. Now he saw Feng Sizhe finally talking to him. This person with absolute authority in Dahu County talked to him, which made him very excited.

"Make sure the task is completed." Although it was just a meeting of the county party committee standing committee, he still showed a very excited expression.

Cui Yan almost ran to notify all the standing committee members to hold a meeting. Half an hour later, all the standing committee members came to the conference room of the county party committee building from their respective posts. Except for Secretary Fang Xianzhi who had not returned from the city yet, and Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary Luo Jinlong who was handling a case and did not come, the other ten county party committee standing committee members were all present.

The meeting was chaired by Feng Sizhe. Seeing that everyone was present, Feng Sizhe said in a stern tone: "Comrades, the explosion at the lighter factory has caused one death and four injuries, and has attracted the attention of relevant leaders and departments of the Municipal Party Committee. I called everyone here now just to unify their thoughts and see what everyone's attitude is."

When Feng Sizhe asked this question, everyone fell silent. The bombing case was now like a big suction cup, like a bottomless pit. Anyone who got involved with it would be in trouble.

Seeing that no one was talking, Feng Sizhe had to continue, "My personal opinion is that there are still many strange things in the explosion case. For this reason, I would like our Dahu County to organize forces to investigate it thoroughly. Don't rush to send the relevant person in charge to the Municipal Party Committee. Let's see if it is feasible. If it is feasible, let's vote to choose."

Knowing that no one would comment no matter how he asked, Feng Sizhe simply decided by voting. Although Luo Jinlong was not handling the case and He Wenbao was in custody, he lacked the support of two standing committee members, but he still believed that his votes would not be too low among the remaining ten standing committee members. As long as this resolution could be passed, he could resist the pressure from the leaders by saying that the resolution was made by the Dahu County Party Committee. Strength lies in numbers, and it is not a wise choice to rely on him alone.

"I agree that Dahu County will continue to investigate the explosion. When we have a rough result, we will report it to the Municipal Party Committee and send the responsible persons to the higher authorities." Feng Sizhe was the first to raise his right hand and cast the first vote. With Feng Sizhe as an example, it was much easier to follow up. Jia Bin, the deputy secretary of the county party committee, raised his hand and cast the second vote. Wu Guangrong, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, cast the third vote. Li Yige, the head of the Organization Department, cast the fourth vote. Zhang Youlun, the executive deputy county magistrate, cast the fifth vote.

Looking at the five votes to five, Propaganda Minister Song Dawei and United Front Minister Wei Xiang, who were sitting nearby, laughed and thought it was fifty-fifty. Let's see what Feng Sizhe will do next.

"I agree." Cui Yan, director of the county party committee office, suddenly raised his hand. After an ideological struggle, he finally decided to follow Feng Sizhe's footsteps, otherwise his position as director of the county party committee office would be lost sooner or later.

Six votes to four, it was passed. But then the Minister of Armed Forces Li Wanli also raised his hand, "I agree too."

Li Wanli had originally been close to Feng Sizhe, but he listened to He Zhuhua's words and drifted away from him. Today he finally made up his mind to come back. With seven votes to three, he won by a huge margin.

Seeing that Feng Sizhe's proposal could still be passed in this situation without two absolute supporters, Song Dawei and Wei Xiang finally kept silent. Only then did they see the charm of Feng Sizhe. This kind of person has a kind of attraction that can make others willingly believe in him, support him, and even work for him. With so many people supporting him and a decision made at the Standing Committee, if someone puts pressure on him, Feng Sizhe can also use this as the decision of the organization and everyone to deceive the other party. At this moment, the two suddenly had a bad premonition, that is, setting a trap for others like this, is it right or wrong? Will it end up being a case of shooting oneself in the foot?

After the meeting, it was time to get off work, but Feng Sizhe had no intention of returning to the county guesthouse. Before things came to a conclusion, he really didn't know how to go back and face Wang Hong. He could imagine how she was waiting for him at the door of the guesthouse.

Feng Sizhe did not go back, and many others did not go back either. For example, after the meeting, Jia Bin, Wu Guangrong, Li Yige, and Zhang Youlun also came to his office separately. However, after considering it for a while, he still arranged for Zhang Youlun to go down to inspect the work. The current situation does not allow any problems to occur in other aspects.

In the county magistrate's office, Feng Sizhe, Jia Bin, Wu Guangrong, and Li Yige sat together to discuss the explosion.

"County Magistrate Feng, you said there is something fishy going on. Is that true?" Jia Bin did not have the slightest doubt about what Feng Sizhe said at the Standing Committee meeting, but he could not ask random questions because of his stance at the meeting. Now that the meeting is over, everyone is on the same side, so of course they can say whatever they want.

"Well, Lao Jia, you don't believe it?"

"It's not that I don't believe it, but the explosion has already attracted the attention of the Municipal Party Committee. If we are slow to respond, won't we be in a passive position? Will the higher-ups think that our Dahu County Party Committee is on the list? These are not good impressions." Jia Bin thought from an organizational perspective.

"Yes, Secretary Jia is right. I think it's better to deal with this matter sooner rather than later. It will not do us any good if it is postponed like this." Li Yi Ge also cooperated.

Feng Sizhe expected Jia Bin and Li Yige to think this way. "Well, what does Secretary Wu think?"

Wu Guangrong hesitated for a moment, "My feeling tells me that things are not that simple. Everything seems to be a web. I... support the decision of County Magistrate Feng."

As expected of someone who works in the Discipline Inspection Commission, he is very good at investigating cases. His words made Feng Sizhe breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Wu Guangrong would still sincerely support him. The most important thing was that he also had the same feeling, which was the most important thing.

"Yes, Secretary Wu is right. I have the same feeling, and I have already found some clues. Things should be resolved soon. Everyone should be patient." Feng Sizhe nodded, indicating that he already had some things in his hands, but the time was not right yet and he could not make them public.

Since Feng Sizhe had said so, the others naturally did not dare to ask any more questions. Although they were all a little worried, when they thought of Feng Sizhe's usual caution and his unique tricks at every critical moment, they finally forced themselves to put their minds at ease.

Just as everyone was thinking about their own things, wondering if Feng Sizhe was really sure or just trying to stabilize everyone's morale, the phone on the desk rang.

"Hello, I'm Feng Sizhe."

"Boss, I'm Chen Hu. I've checked out what you told me. I arrested Yan Yong from the Yihe Gang this afternoon. This guy was quite stubborn and it took me some effort to get him to talk. He admitted that Wang Ming had indeed contacted him. He also said that Wang Ming had introduced the lighter factory to him in detail and asked him to cooperate in staging a drama to bring down the lighter factory and thus achieve the goal of bringing down He Wenbao. So he found Liu Si who worked at the lighter airport and asked him to let the air pump in the workshop leak out, thereby creating trouble and preparing for the explosion."

Chen Hu finally had definite news. Feng Sizhe was very excited after hearing it. "Very good. You've worked hard."
