Chapter 78: The Contest Has Just Begun (5)

  "Come on, you're under arrest, follow me. Inside, you'll experience the kind of luxury that's fit for a noble." The policeman said with a sly smile, but his eyes seemed somewhat sinister.

  After seeing Liu Fei off, Zhao Feiyue's heart finally felt at ease. His chubby fingers, as thick as a sausage, wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead, and he let out a long sigh.

  My goodness, what a close call! I'm glad I made it in time and didn't let them use the sledgehammer on me. Otherwise, my official hat would be hard to keep. Zhao Feiyue couldn't help but think of the phone call he received earlier. The call was from Provincial Committee Secretary Xu Guangchun. When Zhao Feiyue answered the phone, his head went blank. The Provincial Committee Secretary personally called him? This is a first! He felt excited and nervous at the same time, with a sense of unease in his heart, wondering what Secretary Xu wanted to talk to him about.

  Secretary Xu Guangchun was straightforward: "Director Zhao, I heard that your bureau arrested Governor Jiang's secretary, which is quite impressive. You have done a good job in adhering to the principle of handling matters in accordance with the law. However, I must emphasize one point - you must enforce the law in a civilized manner. Recently, I plan to conduct research on the topic of civilized law enforcement by public security organs. You should prepare well for this. Nanping Municipal Public Security Bureau is my first stop. No matter which city's public security organ has problems, the first thing I will do is remove the head of the bureau." After finishing speaking, Xu Guangchun hung up the phone with a "click".

  After listening to Xu Guangchun's phone call, Zhao Feiyue, who was originally watching TV at home, couldn't sit still anymore. He knew what had happened tonight - they had caught a man named Liu Fei, who was Secretary of Vice Governor Jiang, and both Vice Governor Ma and Mayor Chen had given instructions to handle the matter strictly. It was clear that this Liu Fei guy had offended both the mayor and the vice governor, so as the mayor's man, he had to stand on the mayor's side and do a good job as the mayor's gun. Originally, he thought he could just push Vice Governor Jiang away and be done with it, but unexpectedly, for the sake of a small secretary of a vice governor, the Provincial Party Secretary himself came out, and this matter was now beyond Zhao Feiyue's control.

  The four words "provincial party secretary" are not to be trifled with, as he holds the official hat of all officials in Hebei Province. Although he cannot act arbitrarily, if he really offends him, he can find any reason to take down his position without any buffer zone. Moreover, under the current situation, he does not completely look good on the faction where the vice governor is located. After all, Governor Cui will be going down soon. As for who will be elected as the next provincial governor, it will not be clear until the last moment. At this time, he should think more about his own career path.

  People are selfish animals, Zhao Feiyue is no exception. He's also a clever person, after hearing the provincial party secretary's phone call, he immediately guessed that Liu Fei is someone Secretary Xu attaches great importance to. When he arrived here, Zhao Feiyue suddenly jumped up from the sofa and rushed out of the room, got in his car and sped to the municipal bureau. Along the way, he was sincerely praying that Tang San and others wouldn't deal with Liu Fei too harshly, otherwise, if Secretary Xu were to investigate later on, it would absolutely be a troublesome matter.

  Until he felt the scene, when he saw Liu Gaohao raise his iron hammer, his heart almost jumped out. He shouted "Hammer down, spare people" and pulled Liu Fei back from the gates of hell. Otherwise, with Liu's great strength, Liu Fei might have really kicked the bucket. On the way, Zhao Feiyue had already thought it through - once he arrived at the municipal bureau, he would directly order someone to send Liu Fei to the Third Detention Center. This way, he could advance or retreat as needed, and everything would be fine. He wouldn't offend the Secretary faction, nor would he make Mayor Chen look down on his ability to handle things.

  Half an hour later, Tang San returned to report to Zhao Fenglei, and only then did Zhao's heart finally put down, thinking that he had finally gotten rid of the hot potato Liu Fei.

  At this time, Liu Fei had followed the civil police officer into the detention center. The policeman, who looked very fierce, led Liu Fei to a three-story building that looked very dilapidated on the outside, went straight up to the third floor, walked through a narrow and dimly lit corridor, and came to the end of the corridor, where he opened the door at the end and said: "Newcomer, this is your cell. Thank Zhao Chief of the Municipal Bureau for arranging a single room for you. Otherwise, with your thin body, living with other prisoners would get you killed!" After finishing speaking, the policeman locked the door and left, leaving behind a reminder: "If you need anything, just press the electric bell on the wall, but remember, each press costs 10 yuan."

  Furrowing his brow, he supported his extremely weak and exhausted body as he walked through the prison gate. A damp and musty smell wafted up to his nose, and by the faint light, Liu Fei sized up his cell.

  This is a single room of about 10 square meters, with a dim light bulb on the ceiling, estimated to be no more than 20 watts. In the east corner of the wall, there was a broken bed, and in the west corner, there was a plastic bucket. As Liu Fei slowly approached the head of the bed, he asked, "A foul smell kept emanating from the plastic bucket, and he couldn't help but wrinkle his brow."

  However, when his gaze finally fell on the bed, he was so angry that he cursed out loud: "Damn it, this is also like this."

  What is called a bed is just a normal bed minus half of it, and where the other half of the bed board went is unknown. The remaining half of the bed board also

  The bed board was covered with a thin layer of bedding, on top of which lay a dirty blanket that looked like a rag and a filthy black pillow that had lost its original shape.

  Wow, this is also a place where people live. Liu Fei stood inside the house and walked around for a few laps, seeming to understand something, and then walked to the wall and pressed the doorbell.

  After a while, a police officer with acne walked over and gave Liu Fei a disdainful glance. "Number 77, what's your business? Don't you know that ringing the doorbell once costs 10 yuan?"

  Liu Fei smiled wryly and nodded, he had already seen through the situation in front of him. His phone had been confiscated, and he couldn't contact any friends. No one would know that he was being held here, this time it seemed like even if he grew wings, he wouldn't be able to fly away. Since that's the case, he might as well face reality a bit better. Looking at the police officer's arrogant expression, Liu Fei forced out a smile and said: "Brother, can I get a new bed sheet, quilt, and pillow?"

  The police officer with a pockmarked face glared at Liu Fei fiercely and shouted: "Do you think you're staying in a hotel? Dream on! I'm telling you, this is a detention center, a labor reform institution, a place specifically for holding suspects awaiting trial. Who do you think you are, wanting to change beds? I'll give you two slaps in the face! Behave yourself, or you'll be in for a world of trouble!"

  Liu Fei found that although Ma Lian's voice was cold, his eyes were sizing him up. He turned his eyeballs and pulled out a 100-yuan bill from his pocket, passing it through the iron bars to Ma Lian's hand, saying: "Brother, just let me off easy, I really can't adapt to this environment."

  The pockmarked policeman looked around, noticing everyone's attention, and quickly put the money in his pocket. His expression also eased a bit, but his voice was still cold: "Hmph, since it's your first time coming here, I'll take pity on you. The bed is 500, the quilt is 200, the blanket is 200, the pillow is 100, and the toilet is 100. You can pay in cash or by card."

  Liu Fei was stunned at the time and asked in surprise: "Brother, can you also swipe your card here?"

  The police officer with a pockmarked face looked at Liu Fei with disdain and said, "You're really inexperienced, aren't you? It's rare to see someone so ignorant. With the internet being so developed, where can't you use a card?" After glancing at his watch, his expression changed and he urged, "Are you going to or not? 'Lao Er's Happiness' is about to start."
