Seeing that Zhao Donglai agreed, Qi Tongwei felt relieved. As long as he had control of the police force, Ma Jun would not be able to cause any trouble. The overall situation of Xinyue was still in the hands of the Party Committee.

Zhao Donglai had a lot of grievances. In fact, he was not prepared to interfere in these matters. Although he was not Li Dakang's absolute confidant now, in time, when he joined the leadership team of the Public Security Bureau, Li Dakang would definitely accept him.

However, Qi Tongwei suddenly showed up, and Li Dakang even stood up for him, which made Zhao Donglai feel discouraged again. "Well, let's take it one step at a time."

Zhao Donglai sighed and left Qi Tongwei's office.

Qi Tongwei picked up the phone and said, "Hello, Director Wang, please come to my office right away."

Hearing Qi Tongwei's serious tone, Wang Lang did not dare to be negligent.

After a while, Wang Lang hurried to Qi Tongwei's office, "Secretary Qi, what happened?"

Qi Tongwei asked Wang Lang to sit down. "Director Wang, I have already communicated with the police station. This time we will form a joint investigation team to investigate Ma Jun thoroughly."

"Great"

Wang Lang nodded excitedly, "Secretary Qi, this Ma Jun relies on his power in the county and doesn't take the government seriously at all. Now we can finally do something to him."

Qi Tongwei pressed his hand and said, "Director Wang, it's too early to say this now. The most important thing for us right now is to find evidence that Ma Jun murdered Wei Jianguo. As long as there is enough evidence, I will immediately order the arrest."

Wang Lang also gradually calmed down. "Secretary Qi, you are right. I heard from Liu Lifen that Wei Jianguo was murdered by Ma Jun because he knew something he shouldn't have known. If that's the case, there must be something fishy about the timber factory opened by Ma Jun."

Qi Tongwei nodded, "I think so too. According to Zhao Dong, Ma Jun used to be a street thug, but after not seeing him for a few years, he opened a lumber mill and became a representative of the People's Congress of Xinyue Town and the vice chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. This is obviously a bit strange."

"Secretary Qi, why don't we organize the industrial and commercial taxation department to check it out and take a look at what this timber factory looks like?"

"Hey, this is a good suggestion," Qi Tongwei patted the table, "Go call the person in charge of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and let's go to the timber factory to take a look."

Wang Lang was about to agree, but after thinking for a moment, he said with difficulty, "Secretary Qi, I'm afraid you'll have to find Deputy Mayor Dai for this. He's the person in charge, so you'll have to give him a heads up."

"Yeah, okay."

Qi Tongwei nodded and decided to go there in person to show his respect.

Dai Yunfei is a member of the Party Committee. Logically speaking, Qi Tongwei is still his leader, but the gap in level is not that big. In addition, Dai Yunfei is in charge of taxation, industry and commerce and other departments, and has great power. He still has some weight in Xinyue.

Arriving at Dai Yunfei's office, Qi Tongwei knocked on the door and asked, "Is Mayor Dai in? I'm Qi Tongwei."

Dai Yunfei, who was reviewing documents, put down his pen and quickly opened the door and said, "Secretary Qi, please come in, please come in."

Dai Yunfei was much more enthusiastic than expected and took the initiative to pour a glass of water. "Haha, Secretary Qi, it must be the wind that brought you here."

"Hi"

Qi Tongwei took a sip of the water that Dai Yunfei handed over and said, "Mayor Dai, if you say everything is fine, that's a lie."

"Oh, haha, Secretary Qi, you are the leader, if you have anything to say, just give me a call, why do you have to come here in person?"

Dai Yunfei continued, "Secretary Qi, if you have any questions, please tell me. As long as I can help, I will never say no."

"Haha, Mayor Dai, thank you for your support."

Qi Tongwei said politely, "It's not a big deal. Recently, some comrades reported that the timber factory in the southern suburbs was suspected of illegal production. I want to take our Industrial and Commercial Bureau to see what's going on."

Dai Yunfei was not a fool, he must have known that this was not the case. Qi Tongwei was in charge of politics and law, how could he be in charge of industrial and commercial affairs? However, he did not expose him, but reminded him, "Secretary Qi, this timber factory is not simple. Are you sure you want to investigate? I suggest that you ask Secretary Lin for his opinion."

"Oh? Not simple? What's so simple about it? Haha, is there some secret that cannot be told?" Qi Tongwei asked with a smile.

"Hi, Secretary Qi, you've only been here for a short time, and you don't know a lot of things."

Dai Yunfei lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, this timber mill was built under the supervision of Secretary Huang of the county party committee. At that time, Secretary Huang found me and said that he wanted to attract investment for Xinyue. I was very happy at that time, thinking it was a big project, but it turned out to be just a timber mill."

Qi Tongwei was a little confused. Why was it different from what he had heard? "Secretary Huang? Wasn't this lumber mill opened by Ma Jun?"

Dai Yunfei smiled and said, "Secretary Qi, you only know one side of the story, not the other."

"On the surface, it is indeed Ma Jun who is in charge, but behind the scenes, it is a man named Li Wentian who is in charge. This Li Wentian was Secretary Huang's former secretary. Later, I heard that for some reason, he suddenly resigned and then went to Xinyue, acting as the person in charge behind the timber factory."

"This Ma Jun was brought in by Li Wentian to deceive the enemy. At that time, the timber mill had just opened and many hooligans came to cause trouble, including Ma Jun."

"Later, it seemed that someone took a fancy to Ma Jun, and Li Wentian appointed him as the general manager."

"So that's how it is..." Qi Tongwei finally understood. It turned out that this was the business of Huang Weimin, the deputy secretary of the county party committee. It seemed that in order to get information, he had to find someone with certain strength, such as Dai Yunfei, who knew a lot of inside information.

Seeing Qi Tongwei was a little absent-minded, Dai Yunfei continued, "Secretary Qi, so, if you want to investigate the timber factory, isn't that a slap in the face of Secretary Huang? I advise you not to cause trouble. Secretary Huang is a vindictive person and will definitely make things difficult for you in the future."

Qi Tongwei chuckled, "Mayor Dai, thank you for reminding me, but I am like a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. The more I can't do it, the more I want to do it. I have checked this lumber mill, and even Jesus can't stop me, I say!"

"You...sigh..."

Dai Yunfei sighed, "Secretary Qi, if you must investigate, then you should ask the Comprehensive Management Office to investigate. After all, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is the department I am in charge of. If Secretary Huang blames me, I won't be able to bear it."

Qi Tongwei also sighed, "Oh... okay, Mayor Dai, actually it was County Mayor Li Dakang who suggested to investigate the timber factory. Forget it, since you don't agree, I have to report it truthfully to County Mayor Li." After that, Qi Tongwei prepared to leave.

When Dai Yunfei heard that it was Li Dakang's intention, he immediately said, "Secretary Qi, Secretary Qi, hey, don't worry, is this really what County Magistrate Li meant?"

Qi Tongwei raised his lips slightly, "Do you think that I, as a deputy secretary of the Party Committee, would play such a trick?"

Dai Yunfei nodded repeatedly, "No, no, definitely not, how could that be possible?"

After some ideological struggle, Dai Yunfei nodded and said, "Secretary Qi, I will call the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and ask them to send two people to accompany you to check it out. But Secretary Qi, let's make it clear first. When the time comes, don't say it was my idea. Just say it was you..."

"Okay, okay, I understand, I understand," Qi Tongwei reassured Dai Yunfei, and Dai Yunfei felt relieved and called the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
