Chapter 67 Sacrificial Knife
Several hundred kilometers away from Toyama Prefecture, Hedong City, the capital of Beijiang Province, is also experiencing the most strange season of the four seasons.
In early spring, the temperature rose sharply to 20 degrees. As the saying goes, dressing randomly in March and August. Some people are still wearing thick winter clothes on the street, while others have already changed into short-sleeved shirts.
The cherry blossoms and magnolia flowers on the roadside are distributed among evergreen trees, competing to reveal their beautiful bones, pink and light green duck yellow, embellishing the old city, making people suddenly understand in this dull and depressing air that this is the meaning of life.
People die and decay, and flowers bloom again. From a certain perspective, human life is not as good as a bouquet of flowers.
In the Hedong Municipal Public Security Bureau, Chen Yanwang must admit that his strategy of staying up late had failed. After four days and three nights of high-density interrogation, although Xiangbei was physically unable to bear it, he was still stubborn and always denied all charges.
What should I do if the charge of "extortion" is not established?
"Boss, this is not a solution, you have to think of other tricks." The brothers in the group couldn't hold on and offered suggestions to Chen Chong.
I also want to do some other tricks. What do you have to say? Chen Chong was unhappy. What he needed most at this moment was not opinions, but suggestions. Unfortunately, no one could make any valuable suggestions.
The interrogation lasted from Monday to Friday, and the progress was slow. The work was not going well, but life still had to continue. On the weekend, Chen Chong decided to take his family to the Hedong Botanical Garden for a trip.
The breath of spring is especially great on weekends, with it filling every corner, and the parks, shopping malls and even motor vehicle lanes full of traffic. This state starts from the morning and continues until the evening, reaching its peak around noon.
In the Hedong Botanical Garden, small vendors pushed carts, full of colorful candied haws, red ones were hawthorns, yellow ones were oranges, black ones were yam beans, and roasted gluten skewers surrounded by marshmallows, forming an important landscape during the spring outing.
Although there are no decent attractions in the park, it is already crowded because it is free. When you go out to play at this time, it is better to say that you are watching the crowd than watching the scenery.
Chen Chong suddenly lost interest in traveling. He suddenly realized that the botanical garden was close to Beijiang Evening News. Before, although he had been on the phone with Yu Chongming several times, he never had the chance to meet. Now that he has arrived at the door of Beijiang Evening News, why not take the opportunity to get to know each other?
Chen Chong came to the newspaper. Beijiang Evening News, which was a newspaper he had read frequently since he went to school. In Hedong City, Beijiang Evening News almost became a symbol of power, and thus had a sense of mystery. Now he stepped into this news organization that represented the image of Beijiang Province, Chen Chong couldn't help feeling a little nervous. He asked the security guard of the communication room to contact the editor-in-chief's room, but as expected, Yu Chongming was in the unit.
This is not a coincidence? A position like Yu Chongming cannot tell the difference between working days and holidays. As long as the newspaper has a situation, he will stick to it for 24 hours. Leaders often encourage employees to work overtime, but they know the art of overtime best: working overtime is OK, but if you want to die of illness? Please stay outside of 8 hours!
"Mr. Yu, I'll disturb you on the weekend. I hope you can understand." Chen Chong said politely when he saw Yu Chongming.
"Captain Chen was joking. We should do what we should do to cooperate with you in handling the case. Besides, we have no weekends to talk about when we run the news," Yu Chongming explained.
"Mr. Yu, you also know that Xiangbei's case has not made much progress so far, and some key details have not been obtained strong evidence. From the city to the bureau, the leaders urged me again and again, and I was very anxious."
"Yes, we are also very concerned about this matter. But what should we do? We can't do it." Yu Chongming was also anxious? He could retire in a few years, and he didn't want to be slapped to death as a retired fly. If the case is not settled for a day, everyone will feel uneasy.
"How can you have no choice? No matter what, Beijiang Evening News was once the boss of Xiangbei and was also the focus of this report incident. It is reasonable and you should take the initiative to provide some relevant evidence, so that it will help the next progress of the case." Chen Chong said.
"I naturally know the truth about this, but the newspaper is afraid of causing trouble." Yu Chongming showed embarrassment and said it was extremely obscure. Rather than saying that the newspaper is afraid of causing trouble, it is better to say that Yu Chongming is afraid of causing trouble.
Chen Chong is too unaware of the rules and routines of the newspaper. As the saying goes, it is not up to you. This is the business of the newspaper, not the business of a certain person. Who is willing to consume brain cells for it? And it may be cancer cells. Now he, Zhao Qingdong, has not taken the initiative to make arrangements. How could I take on these jobs? Isn’t this asking for death?
"The efficiency of solving the case this time depends largely on the cooperation of the parties involved. Only if you actively cooperate can this matter be accelerated. I think the leaders of your society should know the interests of this." Chen Chong was born with the temper of the King of Hell. He didn't care about what you had to say, and he showed up and made it clear.
"Okay, I'll think about it."
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore," Chen Chong stood up, "It's rare that the weather is so good, and everything is revived when spring is warm and flowers bloom. I have to take my wife and children to the park."
Yu Chongming saw Chen Chong away and sat alone in the office, falling into deep thought. Yes, the case cannot be dragged on like this, but how can the case make progress? I don’t know how long it took, but he suddenly got to know what he could do.
Thinking of this, Yu Chongming was shocked by himself. Is this method too dirty? No, I can't decide this matter myself, nor can I do it myself! But who should I discuss it with? Yu Chongming was thinking, and Qu Changguo suddenly knocked on the door and came in.
"Mr. Yu, there is a manuscript that you need to review. The reporter has put the manuscript in the warehouse." Qu Changguo said.
"I'll take a look now."
"Okay." Qu Changguo said that, and turned around and wanted to leave.
"Changguo, wait a moment. If you are not busy, let's talk." Yu Chongming stood up and set up a chair for Qu Changguo, closed the door. "Yesterday, the president asked me to talk to me, and the first quarter assessment of the editor-in-chief's members is about to begin. The president said that our editor-in-chief's reports this year are average. If this continues, it is possible to make adjustments to the editor-in-chief's members."
Qu Changguo naturally knew the work performance in the first quarter, but he had no idea about the adjustment of the editorial office members. He didn't understand why Yu Chongming mentioned this to him. Or, this adjustment involved himself? Needless to say, this old boy must have taken his own sacrifice again.
"Mr. Yu, you also know that the first quarter is the off-season for news. The reporters have tried their best, but there is nothing we can do without good news. Besides, the matter of Xiangbei has a great impact on everyone. Now many people are depressed. I heard that some reporters already have the idea of resigning." Qu Changguo explained.
"The leader doesn't care about this. If there are any difficulties, we will find a way to solve them. He only looks at the results." Yu Chongming said right, complaining can be done, but the key is still the solution.
"What should we do? We can't make news."
"Nonsense, you are an old reporter for so many years. Doesn't you have this professional awareness yet?" Yu Chongming said half-jokingly, "But there is one thing that can change the current passive situation if done well."
“What’s the matter?”
“Things to the north.”
"Yangbei? I don't understand what you mean? Is there any connection between the two?" Qu Changguo thought to himself, you old boy, are you going to get out of the sheath and ready to "sharpen the knife"?
"Xiangbei's case investigation has not made much progress. The main reason is the lack of key evidence. If we find ways to make up for these key evidence, it may make the case settled earlier, and the newspaper leaders will feel relieved. To be honest, aren't our work done for the leaders? The leaders are satisfied and everyone is happy."
The foreplay was done so well that it finally got to the point. Qu Changguo then understood Yu Chongming's intentions. This old fox, do you take me to sacrifice the knife? Well, I want to see if your knife is sharp enough.
"But, Mr. Yu, how can we make up for these key evidence?" Qu Changguo continued to speak out.
"It's hard to say it's hard, it's simple and simple. We just need to provide proof materials. For example, the matter of "advertising" is related to us. As long as we provide evidence to prove that these things are all his good decisions and the newspaper is completely unaware of them, the case is equivalent to promoting."
"Isn't this a fake? Because as far as I know, many things really have nothing to do with him."
"You are really a lump. There is a saying in "Dream of Red Mansions" that when true or false, it is true. As for the truth behind this matter, no one can know. The most important thing now is that we must present the truth intact." Yu Chongming's words were obscure. For someone like him who pretended to be stupid intermittently, saying this has consumed a lot of brain cells.
"Leader, although I understand what you mean, I cannot do this. After all, I am also a person with dignity. Doing this will harm others and yourself. How can I face everyone in the future?"
"Changguo, you can't say that. This is also for the development of the newspaper and to share the worries of the leaders. You also know that I can't work in this position for a few years. Chen Lu is a lesbian, and her family can't take care of her. How can she have so much time to consider business matters? Therefore, you still need to take on the main leverage of the editor-in-chief's office in the future. If you want, you will be responsible for this matter, and only you and I know that if things are done, I will definitely do more work on the leader." Yu Chongming walked behind Qu Changguo and gently patted his shoulder with his hand.
Qu Changguo was silent for a while, and his phone suddenly rang.
"Mr. Yu, I'll answer the phone first, you can wait." Qu Changguo walked out of the office
Five minutes later, he returned to the office with his cell phone, "Okay, Mr. Yu. I will do this. I will trouble you to worry about business matters these days. I will concentrate on doing the evidence well!"
"Okay! I did not see the wrong person." Yu Chongming slapped the table excitedly, revealing a classic "Yu Shi" smile.
