Chapter 3180
Welcomed by tens of thousands of people, the motorcade of the Executive Committee entered the city from Qingchun Gate in the east of the city, passed through Qingchun Road that runs through Hangzhou from east to west, and then left the city through Qiantang Gate in the west of the city, successfully completing its first public appearance in Hangzhou. .
Although there were a large number of people watching on the streets today, with the security forces of all parties strictly guarding the scene, the whole process was in order, and no uncontrolled chaos occurred during the period.
In the final arrest of Zhu Zhongyun and his gang, the field team of the Ministry of Security "happily" failed to participate. If Ji Yuanqing hadn't taken the initiative to reveal the information to him, Gong Shiqi might have had to wait until he left the city to receive the report of the assassin's capture.
Of course, Gong Shiqi didn't think that his field team missed the arrest, but it was just another coincidence in this case. He prefers that this is a deliberate arrangement by the military to prevent security personnel from "missing" again in the arrest operation.
You must know that in the previous operations to capture the other two teams of assassins, the field team was involved and did not hold back at all. They opened fire and wounded the suspects at the capture site.
If during the final arrest process, someone accidentally beats the main criminal Zhu Zhongyun to death, the impact of the investigation of the case will probably be greatly reduced. Gong Shiqi believes that this is the main reason why the military intentionally excludes the Ministry of Security. .
Although the Ministry of Security, which is responsible for directing the investigation of the case, will take the lead in the end, Gong Shiqi felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly. For him, this case was not handled smoothly enough and there were too many links that were out of his control.
This was not the result he wanted, but the result forced upon him by Ji Yuanqing.
But he still couldn't refuse to accept it, so he could only follow the other party's arrangement.
But Gong Shiqi also had to admit that the security work in Hangzhou was not as bad as he had previously thought. The security measures here seem to be loose, but in fact they are very tight on the outside and tight on the inside.
He only learned today that the Second Regiment of the Seventh Army Division was not the only one carrying out martial law tasks in and around Hangzhou. There were also the Marine Corps and Cavalry Battalion of the East China Sea Fleet quietly transferred from Ningbo and Zhoushan by Shi Diwen, as well as the Devin's personal soldiers - the Donghai Region Special Service Independent Battalion.
The number of personnel deployed by the Military Intelligence Bureau in Hangzhou is far more than the dozens of people they previously claimed.
Gong Shiqi learned from the secret report just sent by his subordinates that there were at least two to three hundred Military Intelligence personnel in Hangzhou. It was estimated that most of the personnel under Ji Yuanqing's control had already been assembled in Hangzhou City before this.
Of course, this was not a temporary deployment made after Gong Shiqi arrived in Hangzhou to investigate the Zhu Zhongyun case. It involved the cross-regional mobilization of so many combatants, and the start of coordination in all aspects and preparation of various materials, at least within ten and a half days. Months ago.
From this point of view, the Donghai Region is probably not just guarding against Zhu Zhongyun and his group, but is also guarding against other possible emergencies.
But precisely because of this, Gong Qiqi felt more and more that Wang Yuaneng swaggered more than 20 rifles into the city the day before the Executive Committee arrived in Hangzhou, and that someone was deliberately providing convenience for him.
Of course, Ji Yuanqing has denied such accusations, and Gong Shiqi does not have any actual evidence to prove his speculation.
After leaving the Qiantang Gate in the west of the city, not far ahead is the West Lake. However, Gong Shiqi was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the West Lake at this time. He just wanted to quickly escort the executive committee to the place where they were staying, and then return to the city to interrogate Zhu Zhongyun and others.
Although the man was caught, there are still too many things to be found out about the whole case. Moreover, Gong Shiqi must know whether the Ming Dynasty factory guards had any other arrangements for the executive committee besides sending Zhu Zhongyun and his group. After leaving the city, the motorcade turned around and headed north along the city ring road. Not far away, a large number of elegant villas near the lake appeared, which were the newly built guest houses for the relocation of the capital to Hangzhou.
On the north side of the Guest House, there are several tall buildings under construction, which are office buildings prepared for various government agencies, including the exclusive office area of the Executive Committee and the auditorium for holding large meetings.
Next to these government agencies is the Hangzhou New Victory Plaza, which is modeled after the Sanya Victory Plaza.
The area of this square is more than double that of Sanya Victory Square. The entire square is paved with tens of thousands of two-foot-square granite slabs.
The square project took more than two years and has been basically completed. However, casual visitors are not allowed to enter the square area yet. It will not be officially opened to the public until after the military parade during the National Day.
Next, senior officials of the Executive Committee will settle in the Guest House for a short rest, and then attend a welcome luncheon hosted by the local government. This place is surrounded by the security battalion of the Executive Committee and Shi Diwen's personal troops like iron barrels. Finally, there is no need to worry about safety issues anymore.
And Gong Shiqi could finally squeeze out a little time and return to the city to interrogate the prisoners.
Of course, he didn't forget to call Ji Yuanqing. Despite Ji Yuanqing's various strange actions during the investigation of the case, Gong Shiqi still hopes that Ji Yuanqing will be present when interrogating the prisoner.
He wanted to see with his own eyes how Ji Yuanqing would treat the follow-up of this case.
The two of them rode back to Hangzhou City with their subordinates. As soon as they arrived outside Qiantang Gate, Gong Shiqi reined in the reins.
He saw the soldiers guarding the gate taking down the arrest warrant for Zhu Zhongyun, and loudly explained the reason to the onlookers - this person was ordered by the Ming Dynasty to sneak into Hangzhou with many people with the intention of assassinating the Executive Committee. Details of the case will be announced to the public.
It seemed reasonable and reasonable, but Gong Shiqi noticed something strange. He said to Ji Yuanqing: "The criminal has just been arrested and brought to justice. Many circumstances have not yet been clarified. It is not known whether there are still accomplices at large. Someone actually publicized the case to the outside world. Isn’t this against the rules?”
Ji Yuanqing responded expressionlessly: "The wanted order was posted for two days and then suddenly canceled. We must give the public a decent explanation to prevent anyone from spreading rumors."
Gong Shiqi said: "Is this to avoid rumors, or is it to let the people of Hangzhou know that Ming Dynasty sent assassins to assassinate the Executive Committee?"
Ji Yuanqing said: "There have been at least two to three thousand people involved in the arrests in the past two days. Do you think so many people can keep the secret? If the official does not take the initiative to release reliable information, do you think the people will not rely on it?" Are you making random guesses based on just a few pieces of information? ”
"Besides, the people also have the right to know who wants to use conspiracy and tricks to destroy the hard-won peace. Since the Ming Dynasty can do such dirty things, it can't blame us for making it public!"< br>
