After Ouyang Yunsu went out, Tang Bin said: "Old Lu, although you didn't say it clearly, I know that your purpose in coming today should be to let me express my opinion.

Since this is the case, I will first express my opinion. Even if Xu Ruijun and my wife have some kinship, you must not have any concerns because of my relationship. You can check it as much as you should.

Besides, Xu Ruijun is basically a stranger to me, and no matter what he did, it will not affect me."

Lu Tao hurriedly said: "Since there is an old leader's words, I certainly don't have any concerns. At present, Xu Ruijun only admits to selling property rights certificates of Erdaohe demolition households.

But I believe things are not that simple. He should have other cases. At least he has a close relationship with the local underworld in Erdaohe.

In addition, Xiaohu was hiding in Erdaohe District after being kidnapped, and now Xiaohu's jade pendant was found at Xu Ruijun's home. Although he insisted that he bought it, this coincidence itself is suspicious."

Tang Bin was silent for a while and said, "You don't need to be vague. This coincidence should also include Xu Ruijun's wife Ouyang Hui and my wife's relationship. Is this just a coincidence or something else? I hope you can give me a clear answer."

Lu Tao nodded and said, "Since Xu Ruijun and Sister Ouyang have been in contact with each other and have a lot of business dealings with Ouyang Dong, of course I will do it with caution," he said.

Tang Bin handed Lu Tao a cigarette, lit one himself, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "I used to be the district party secretary in Nanshan District, and Erdaohe was also under my jurisdiction at that time, and I still know the situation there.

It’s really shameful to say that I have worked there for more than 20 years, but I didn’t expect that this district would be a dirty and messy area in the city. Despite historical reasons, I also bear unshirkable responsibilities.

At present, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government are making great efforts to comprehensively transform Erdaohe District. In addition to completely changing the ecological environment there, they also need to fundamentally change the public security environment there.

You mentioned the evil forces in Erdaohe just now, which is also a historical issue. As we all know, some criminals use the poverty and backwardness there to develop evil forces, and they have been fighting repeatedly, and are gradually spreading across the city like a cancer.

This shows that our work is not done properly, especially the Erdaohe District Public Security Bureau’s work has not been done properly. Now that the Erdaohe District Public Security Bureau Director Luo Yumei died in a car accident, I think you should have considered the right person, right?"

Lu Tao did not directly answer Tang Bin's question, but said: "I know that the old leader has been concerned about the situation in Erdaohe District. I heard that the large-scale demolition and renovation project in Erdaohe District was facilitated by the direct concern of the old leader.

And when you make an overall plan, you are still an advisor, which means that the old leader is very familiar with the situation there. As you said, the security environment in Erdaohe is indeed unsatisfactory.

According to our knowledge, several evil forces in this city either have their own nests in Erdaohe or have come out of Erdaohe District.

After Luo Yumei became the head of the Erdaohe District Public Security Bureau two years ago, she did a lot of work in combating gangs and eliminating evil, and the public security environment has also been greatly improved. Some evil forces lost their breeding ground and eventually fled from Erdaohe District. Unfortunately, Luo Yumei died young, which is indeed a pity."

Tang Bin nodded and said, "Because of this, you must select elite soldiers and generals to strengthen the strength of the Erdaohe District Public Security Team, especially this leader, it is best to be familiar with the local situation.

For example, Luo Yumei should be a local? If she was airborne a director, it would be difficult to carry out her work for a while, and there would be a risk of being undermined."

Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, then said, "If you want to say that the understanding of the public security organs in the city is the old leader. What? Do you have a suitable candidate to recommend?"

Tang Bin put out half of the cigarette butt in the ashtray, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then squinted his eyes as if he was trying hard to think about the right person. After a long time, he asked, "Do you know Qi Bo?"

Lu Tao was stunned for a moment and said, "I have heard of his name. Isn't he the old director of Erdaohe District Public Security Bureau? But he has retired long ago."

Tang Bin smiled and said, "What? Do you think I would recommend Qi Bo to come out? He is eighty this year?"

Lu Tao also smiled and said, "Yes, when he was the director, I was still an ordinary criminal policeman."

Tang Bin nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "Qi Bo had made great achievements in the position of Director Erdaohe. If it weren't for his age, he would have had the opportunity to work in the Municipal Bureau. Fortunately, the tiger girl came out of the general. I heard that his eldest daughter Qi Zhen is now the deputy director of the Erdaohe District Branch, and is also a native deputy director."

Lu Tao was stunned for a while, as if he immediately understood the old leader's intentions, and said in confusion: "Yes, Qi Zhen has been in Erdaohe District Public Security Bureau for more than ten years, and I still know her better.

However, she has always done administrative work and is currently the deputy director in charge of administration. She has basically never been engaged in criminal investigation."

Tang Bin waved his hand and said, "I just made a suggestion. In the end, you have to decide whether it is appropriate. You don't have to make things difficult for you, and don't think too much. Since I have retired, I will not interfere in the specific personnel arrangements of the public security organs."

Lu Tao was silent for a while and said, "Since it was the advice of the old leader, I will certainly consider it seriously. Is this also the care and support of my work by the old leader? What's more, the recommendation of the old leader is not someone who is related to me, but it is entirely out of work considerations."

Tang Bin waved his hand and said, "You go back and think about this matter yourself. By the way, Zhou Jiyao's task force has been established for so long. Is there any breakthrough?"

Lu Tao shook his head and said, "There is no breakthrough, and he is still doing some basic investigations. However, all kinds of signs prove that Zhou Jiyao is involved in several criminal cases."

Tang Bin asked: "What specific case is it?"

Lu Tao hesitated and said, "A gun case occurred in Erdaohe not long ago. On the surface, it seemed to be a battle between a gang of gangs.

But one of the dead is named Yang Yi, and it has been confirmed that he was Zhou Jiyao's former driver who met the bodyguard and his whereabouts were unknown. I suspect that Zhou Jiyao was killing people to silence him."

He paused and continued, "With this Yang Yi, I want to ask the old leader for someone. You have worked there for nearly twenty years and should have some understanding of this person."

"Who?" Tang Bin asked.

Lu Tao said: "It is the director in front of Erdaohe Guardian, named Yang Zhao."

Tang Bin's expression changed slightly, but immediately looked confused and said, "Yang Zhao? It seems that there is such a person, but he is not very familiar with him. He should be quite young, right?"

Lu Tao nodded and said, "It should be almost eighty, but he passed away not long ago."

Tang Bin was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you doing when you investigate a dead person?"

Lu Tao hesitated: "This Yang Zhao is actually Yang Yi's father. According to our understanding, Zhou Jiyao and Yang Zhao have a very different relationship. In fact, Zhou Jiyao visited the hospital before Yang Zhao's death. It is understood that Zhou Jiyao claimed that Yang Zhao was kind to him, but he didn't know what the origins were between them."

Tang Bin looked surprised and said, "Is this still clear? Is it clear if you ask Yang Zhao's family?"

Lu Tao shook his head and said, "We have been in contact with Yang Zhao's daughter, but she can't tell you what the origin of Zhou Jiyao and her father have. She only knows that Yang Zhao and Zhou Jiyao met in Erdaohe in the early years, and later brought Yang Zhao's son Yang Yi with her and were deeply trusted."

Tang Bin hesitated and said, "Do you think Zhou Jiyao had already started committing crimes when he was in Erdaohe?"

Lu Tao shook his head and said, "I can't say that now, but I think Zhou Jiyao has a deep connection with two places. One is his hometown Zhoujia Town, and the other is Erdaohe. He is also the largest investor in Erdaohe at present."

Tang Bin hesitated for a moment and said, "I have always supported you in investigating Zhou Jiyao, not only because he is my in-laws, but also responsible for a successful entrepreneur.

If he is finally proven to be innocent, it will be considered an explanation for me. If he is indeed guilty, then I have an unshirkable responsibility, at least I am blinded by him.

However, if you investigate the case, don’t interfere with his business in Erdaohe until there is no evidence. No matter what, his huge investment in Erdaohe will benefit the people. This is also a transparent project through the government’s public tender, not Zhou Jiyao’s personal project.”

Lu Tao nodded and said, "Of course, our case handling is evidence, and it will not have any impact on his business until there is no conclusive evidence."

Tang Bin hesitated and said, "I understand your difficulties. I want to investigate the case, but I can't touch him. If you want to make a breakthrough from the outside, it seems that it is indeed difficult. Perhaps, you should consider starting from Zhou Jiyao's internal efforts."

Lu Tao said with a puzzled look: "What does the old leader mean?"

Tang Bin hesitated for a moment and said, "Have you ever considered continuing to send an undercover agent around Zhou Jiyao?"

Lu Tao shook his head and said, "Since the last time the undercover died, I have given up this idea. This is not a worry that the undercover will be exposed again.

But after Zhou Jiyao learned the lesson last time, it was difficult to arrange an undercover agent by his side. If the undercover agent cannot get close to his core circle, no matter how many he sent it, it would not work."

Tang Bin nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip. Lu Tao understood that the old leader had the intention of serving tea and seeing off the guests, so he stood up and said, "Old leader, if there is nothing else, I won't disturb you."

Tang Bin didn't try to keep him, so he stood up and sent him to the door. When Lu Tao was about to turn around and go out, he suddenly whispered: "By the way, I'll remind you in advance. Deputy Secretary Li Yuan, who is in charge of political and legal work in the municipal party committee, will soon go to work in the provincial party committee. The remaining few deputy secretaries basically have no experience in this area.

I personally think it is more appropriate for you as the head of the public security bureau. At present, the secretary of the political and legal committees in many places serves as the head of the public security bureau. Why can't we do this here?

Of course, this is just my personal opinion. The final decision must be decided by the organization, but you'd better be mentally prepared first."

Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder of the old leader."
