Chapter 110 Weather Change

1973 Words
About five or six minutes later, the young logistics company commander came back and said in a calm tone, "Please ask Secretary Lin to take the call!" "Alright, wait a moment. I'll report this to our secretary." After Wang Jinshan informed the young officer, he immediately trotted over to Lin Yuandao to report the results. The army had always been the most loyal guardian of Shina. It was the most important defense for the republic. Any local government would have to give way when they were dealing with the army. It was especially the case with a strictly guarded border city like Shuangta City. In Shuangta City, the garrison was the eighty-ninth army in the Xinlu Military Region. The entire army, made up of nearly a hundred thousand soldiers, was stationed in an orderly formation along the curved border of the country. It could be said that it was like a giant dragon that was lingering in the northwest of Shina, continuously on guard against the threatening movements of other countries and separatist forces within the border. The young officer used the word "please" when he spoke this time, and his attitude was a bit politer than when he spoke to Wang Jinshan. It could be seen that the young officer still showed Lin Yuandao some corresponding respect for his status as the secretary of the municipal Party committee. However, he didn't respect him so deeply as those officials in the civil service system did. The result was not the best, but it was not bad either. The young officer had already released some signs of goodwill in his tone. Lin Yuandao went against the others' objections. Led by the logistics company commander, he passed through at least two or three sentry posts before going inside the high walls of the Tanan Detention House. The commander led Lin Yuandao straight to the office of the detention center. There was a temporary military headquarters there, and several young officers were busy inside. On the way to the temporary headquarters, Lin Yuandao saw a lot and thought a lot. The wardens of the detention center were still detained under the shade of a tree in the courtyard. Although there were no mandatory measures, it was obvious that they were not allowed to move freely. Nearly a hundred soldiers from the army were busy going back and forth inside the detention center. From time to time, there would be big trucks going in and out. It was as if there was going to be a war. Could it be that something extremely important had happened in this detention center? Just as Lin Yuandao was deep in thought, the logistics commander said to Lin Yuandao with unusual politeness, "Secretary Lin, our leader wants to talk to you. Please." "Thank you!" Lin Yuandao nodded and replied politely. The logistics commander handed the phone to Lin Yuandao and greeted his busy colleagues. Everyone immediately left the office, leaving Lin Yuandao alone in the room. Lin Yuandao picked up the connected satellite phone and asked, "Hello, this is Lin Yuandao, secretary of the municipal Party committee in Shuangta City. Who am I speaking to?" "Hello, Secretary Lin. I am He Dong, the Commander of the eighty-ninth army." The tone of the person on the other end of the phone was neither fast nor slow. Although he didn't speak Mandarin well, he spoke every word clearly. The commander of the eighty-ninth army? Lin Yuandao knew about the eighty-ninth army. It was the main force in charge of the entire defense of Shuangta City. It was also the strongest force in the northwest of Xinlu Province. Although in Shina, there was a principle that the Party administration and the military governance were separate, according to the convention, He Dong, commander of a heavily armored army, had a much higher rank than Lin Yuandao, who was the secretary of the municipal Party committee. This was also why He Dong arranged for his subordinates to invite Lin Yuandao over to answer the call. "Commander He, hello!" Lin Yuandao quickly analyzed the current situation and answered politely. "Well, Secretary Lin, there is something I think I need to tell you. I want to give you an explanation for the emergency actions that we have taken before, and I also wanted to show our sincerity before we cooperate with your municipal committee." Armymen spoke rather straightforwardly and bluntly. He Dong did not beat around the bush and directly said, "The Tanan Detention House in Shuangta City detained a member of my eighty-ninth Army for no reason last night, which severely threatened the safety of our soldier. Therefore, in view of this special situation, we surrounded the Tanan Detention House. I hope the leaders in the municipal Party committee can understand!" "What? Something like this actually happened?" This was shocking news. For a moment, Lin Yuandao couldn't think straight, and he could not calm down for a long time. What kind of joke was this? An insignificant local detention center dared to detain a member of the army? The wardens here were really undaunted and reckless. If a soldier was guilty, only the military court had the right to interrogate him and make a verdict. The local government had no right to detain a soldier. Moreover, Lin Yuandao could tell from He Dong's tone that He Dong strongly believed that his soldier did not do anything improper. This meant that the matter that happened in the Tanan Detention House was an act of provocation in the eyes of the army. "Commander He, this is not a small matter. We cannot easily come to a conclusion. Otherwise, it will easily affect the peaceful and harmonious coexistence of the local governments and the army!" Lin Yuandao still could not believe that such a thing had happened. He held the phone and asked nervously again. "Secretary Lin, this matter is absolutely true. Moreover, the soldier who was detained in the detention center has evacuated safely, so this was not fabricated by the army out of thin air." He Dong said with certainty. Hearing He Dong's words, Lin Yuandao firmly believed it, although he was still confused. He Dong was a dignified army commander. If he was in the local government system, he would at least be a deputy provincial-level official. There was no need for him to joke with Lin Yuandao about such things. However, when he thought about how He Dong was still able to call him calmly after such a serious matter had happened, it was clear that He Dong was not just trying to find out who was to blame. Instead, there must be other reasons. All Lin Yuandao could do now was listening to why He Dong had asked to speak to him and how he could resolve this matter perfectly. "Do you have any other question?" He Dong gave Lin Yuandao some time to think and asked after a while. "No. Commander He, if you have any suggestion, please tell me. We will do our best to cooperate with you." Lin Yuandao said calmly. "That's good. Let me tell you about our first-step plan." He Dong immediately changed his tone and said, "This matter has already happened, and our soldier has not suffered any injuries. Under the instructions of the higher-ups, we will no longer pursue the responsibility of the local government. However, the planners and participants of this incident must all be arrested without exception and handed over to the military to deal with." "Niu Jianfei, Captain of the Municipal Public Security Bureau's criminal police team, Tang Cai, warden of the Tanan Detention House, Ding Youguo, police officer in the Wuyi Road Police Station, and Li Bo, the relative of Hu Weidong who was the director of the Wuyi Road Police Station, have all been convicted. Among them, Tang Cai committed the most serious crime and has been killed by the military personnel on the spot. The other three are fleeing. I hope the police in Shuangta City will assist with the investigation." "Jin Sanpu, the director of Tanan Detention House, Hu Weidong, the director of Wulin Road Police Station, and the seven alcoholics and troublemakers shall all help us with the investigation..." Lin Yuandao listened to the names of the people in the local official system, and he became more and more shocked. He did not expect that so many people in the local government were involved in this matter. This was even worse than the worst scenario he had expected. "Commander He, on behalf of the municipal Party committee, I promise we will definitely cooperate fully with you on this matter." Lin Yuandao said resolutely, "As for the names you mentioned, if the facts are clear, I will agree with your plan." "In that case, make the arrangements as soon as possible!" He Dong said. "Commander He, do you think the military can hand over the matter in the Tanan Detention House to our municipal Party committee to handle?" In the end, Lin Yuandao wanted to seize the initiative in some matters. "Of course, we have basically dealt with the situation there. In at most ten minutes, our soldiers will withdraw. I also hope that you can personally take the lead to ensure that the follow-up work of this matter is done without any unexpected result." He Dong said. Lin Yuandao nodded and agreed to He Dong's request, because he had already sensed from He Dong's tone that he did not trust Jin Sanpu, the director of the Tanan Detention House. . Sure enough, after Lin Yuandao and He Dong finished the phone call, in less than ten minutes, all the soldiers in and out of the detention center withdrew, and everything returned to normal. All the soldiers withdrew and Ma Bin saw Lin Yuandao coming out of the detention center. He immediately went up and asked with concern, "Secretary Lin, what did they say?" Lin Yuandao glanced at the head of Shuangta City's judicial system and let out a long breath of suppressed anger. Then, he listed out the people that He Dong had mentioned. He also made this task assigned by He Dong the top priority work to do for Shuangta City's police system, asking them to arrest those people in a week. Hu Weidong and Jin Sanpu were removed from their positions and they had to wait for the truth to come to light before further decisions were made about them. Their deputies would replace them temporarily. Lin Yuandao gave a series of instructions. Judging from his tone, there was no room for negotiation. No one present dared to raise any objection. When Jin Sanpu heard about how Lin Yuandao was going to deal with him, he was about to explain, but he was stopped by Ma Bin. It looked like he wanted to say something, and his face looked livid. After giving the orders, Lin Yuandao got in the car and left. This time, he did not bring Ma Bin and Wang Jinshan with him. "Secretary Ma, what is going on with Secretary Lin? Even if he is the head of the municipal Party committee, he does not have the right to be so arbitrary. How could he ignore your opinions? You have been the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee for ten years." As Lin Yuandao's car left and brought up a cloud of dust, Jin Sanpu expressed his dissatisfaction, gritting his teeth. After he finished speaking, Jin Sanpu first looked at Wang Jinshan. Seeing that Wang Jinshan didn't react, he turned to look at Ma Bin, the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. "The weather in Shuangta City is about to change!" Ma Bin did not answer directly. Instead, he looked up at the gradually darkening sky. After saying this, he left on foot.
