"Hello, who is this?"
Qin Mu was not sure who it was, so he could only answer the phone first.
"Is this County Magistrate Qin of Huaining County? I am Li Xianyao from the Municipal Public Security Bureau!"
Soon, a deep male voice sounded.
Li Xianyao!
Qin Mu was surprised. It had only been 20 minutes, and Director Li called. Zhang Defa was really quick!
"Director Li, it's so late, you haven't rested yet!"
Qin Mu didn't mention what had just happened, and asked with a smile: "Do you have anything important to do?"
At this time, whoever asked first would naturally be at a disadvantage.
"County Magistrate Qin, did Zhang Defa have some unpleasant things with you just now?"
If Qin Mu didn't mention it, Li Xianyao would naturally take the initiative to mention it. His rank was lower than Qin Mu's, but now he was asking for help, so he would naturally take the initiative.
"You are talking about this. Has Zhang Defa reported to you?"
Qin Mu pretended not to know and asked with a smile.
"Yes, he reported it to me roughly."
Li Xianyao responded and said, "Because he was eager to catch the criminals, he violated some rules, which led to some unpleasant things happening with you. From what he said, you are quite angry and want to hold him accountable. You see... In fact, we are all comrades. We are all serving the people in essence, but we have different divisions of labor. There are some minor conflicts and misunderstandings. Shouldn't we be... a little more generous and tolerant..."
Sure enough!
Listening to Li Xianyao's words, Qin Mu understood that Zhang Defa had definitely reduced his responsibility infinitely and attributed it all to misunderstandings.
Seek benefits and avoid harm!
Pull Li Xianyao into the game. The other party is the deputy mayor and the director of the Public Security Bureau, a deputy department-level cadre. After all, Qin Mu is much lower than the other party. If Li Xianyao insists on making peace, Qin Mu will definitely not be able to change the overall situation.
You can't even give face to the deputy mayor, right?
However, Zhang Defa still underestimated Qin Mu's background.
If he were an ordinary deputy division-level cadre, he would definitely give in when a deputy department leader like Li Xianyao came to him.
But Qin Mu would not!
"Director Li, there are many discrepancies between what Zhang Defa said and the actual situation."
Qin Mu said calmly: "Based on my personal experience, Zhang Defa is suspected of suppressing his subordinates and abusing his power. Without any procedures or evidence, he mobilized the county bureau to take action against people who had a little quarrel with him!"
"Director Li, if people like Zhang Defa are not punished, I will go directly to Secretary Li Guobin of the Municipal Party Committee. I was personally appointed by him to come to Huaining County. I was almost arrested as a criminal by Zhang Defa just now. You have to give me an explanation, right?"
This...
After saying this, Li Xianyao on the other end of the phone was obviously a little hesitant.
He knew too little about the situation, and it was a bit difficult to tell who was telling the truth, so it was naturally difficult to distinguish.
Of course, he had some understanding of Qin Mu's situation. It was rare for someone to transfer from the army to the local area and directly serve as the acting county magistrate, unless the other party's family background was very powerful!
In addition, Qin Mu kept mentioning Secretary Li of the Municipal Party Committee, which was enough to show that his background was average.
Li Xianyao had already had some ideas in his mind.
"By the way, Zhao Yanan and I went through the whole process. If Director Li has any doubts about what I said, you can ask Zhao Yanan."
The next second, Qin Mu mentioned Zhao Yanan again.
Li Xianyao couldn't have been unaware of this person who came from a police family.
"County Magistrate Qin, give me some time. After I understand it clearly, I will talk to you and discuss the specific solution."
Li Xianyao said immediately.
"No problem."
Qin Mu agreed and hung up the phone, because he knew that Li Xianyao must have gone to Zhao Yanan to verify it.
After slowly walking to the county party committee dormitory, Li Xianyao called again.
"Chief Qin, I have roughly understood the situation."
Li Xianyao's voice was a little helpless, and he said: "Zhang Defa's operation has a big problem, and it violates the rules and disciplines. It is very serious. First of all, on behalf of the Municipal Bureau and the police force, I apologize to you. I am very sorry!"
"Chief Li, you don't have to do this."
Qin Mu hurriedly said: "It is Zhang Defa's personal problem, not your problem. There are always some scums who have sneaked into our team. We just need to find them in time and solve them in time."
Find them in time, solve them in time!
These eight words made Li Xianyao obviously embarrassed, "Chief Qin, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
"Of course it should be handled in a fair and impartial manner. People like Zhang Defa should be expelled from the police force and their uniforms should be taken off!"
Qin Mu said without hesitation.
Such a straightforward and decisive decision is obviously not the result Li Xianyao wants.
"Chief Qin, this is indeed very appropriate."
Li Xianyao pondered for a moment and said, "However, Zhang Defa has worked in the Municipal Bureau for many years and is an old comrade. If he wants to be expelled from the police force and take off his uniform, he must go through the Municipal Party Committee. The process is very complicated... It may take a lot of time!"
"Chief Qin, look, give him a demerit, let him learn a lesson, see his future work performance, and then decide whether to take off his uniform. Can you accept this result?"
Sure enough!
Li Xianyao still wants to protect the reputation of the police force.
This is very understandable!
"If Director Li thinks this is okay, I can choose to accept it."
Qin Mu said lightly: "I have heard of Director Li's name a long time ago. He is reliable and strict in military management. I believe Director Li will handle this matter properly."
This...
The sudden praise and flattery made Li Xianyao silent on the other end of the phone.
He thought Qin Mu would not accept it and would argue with reason, but the result was... he complimented him instead.
Li Xianyao felt very uncomfortable!
He felt like he had failed Qin Mu's trust!
After all, he was pleading for a scumbag!
"Director Li, you can handle it as you see fit, I have no objection."
Qin Mu added, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early, I won't disturb you."
After that, he hung up the phone, returned to the dormitory, washed up and went to bed.
On the contrary, Li Xianyao, holding the phone, did not recover for a long time.
"Hiss..."
He took a puff of the old cigarette, his eyes were full of doubts. He did not take Qin Mu seriously at first, but he was just a child from a noble family with a complicated background who came to the grassroots to gild himself...
But the phone call just now made him interested in Qin Mu all of a sudden.
He even knew that he owed him a favor!
In the officialdom, favors are the hardest to repay.
If Qin Mu asks him for help in the future, can he refuse?
Definitely not!
Owing favors is nothing, Li Xianyao just finds it amazing that he seems to have owed Qin Mu a favor without realizing it!
This is more interesting!
