The news that Vice Mayor Wang Wu had died spread like wildfire throughout Qijiang City.
Liu Linyu, who was driving there for tourism, even took photos and uploaded the footage to CCTV News.
[A deputy mayor died in Qijiang City, Handong Province; the cause is unknown!]
It has been forwarded more than 100,000 times.
The news spread rapidly, attracting widespread attention from all sectors of society. The death of a deputy mayor in Handong Province, and the alleged treason of another deputy mayor, Ding Yizhen, raised numerous speculations about public security in Handong Province.
The Qijiang City Public Security Bureau immediately established a special task force to investigate the cause of death of Vice Mayor Wang Wu. The on-site investigation, interviews with witnesses, and retrieval of surveillance footage were carried out systematically.
Preliminary investigation revealed that Vice Mayor Wang Wu had attended an important municipal meeting before his death and left alone afterward. Meanwhile, the Handong Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government attached great importance to the matter and demanded that relevant departments fully cooperate with the police investigation to find out the truth as soon as possible and give the public an explanation.
Various sectors of society have also called on relevant departments to handle the case fairly, openly, and transparently in order to maintain social stability and fairness.

Handong Province, Lüzhou City.
A Toyota Coaster slowly drove out of the Crescent Lake scenic area.
This is the official car of Provincial Party Secretary Sha Ruijin.
Sha Ruijin came to Luzhou Crescent Lake specifically for on-site investigation and research. He also wanted to meet Yi Xuexi, Li Dakang's former class monitor.
During the morning's inspection, Yi Xuexi led Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu by rubber boat to the center of Crescent Lake and pointed to the Crescent Lake Food City.
"Secretary Sha, this food court has been here for twenty years."
"This is the business of the young master of the Zhao family."
"Secretary Sha, because of the demolition issue, I was even slapped by a local resident."
Yi Xuexi showed Sha Ruijin the food court on the west bank, which had been delayed in being demolished because it belonged to Zhao Ruilong, causing significant pollution.
Sha Ruijin said with a serious expression: "Comrade Yi Xuexi, we must treat everyone equally."
At this moment, Tian Guofu interjected, "Secretary Sha, Yi Xuexi has already appeared on Luzhou TV's evening news. He made a promise to the people."
"The food court must be demolished this year. If it cannot be demolished, Yi Xuexi will resign automatically."
Yi Xuexi, with a serious expression, reported to Sha Ruijin: "Secretary Sha, I have exposed all those who pleaded for leniency and obstructed the demolition. If it weren't for the food city's obstruction, the treatment of Crescent Lake should have been completed eight years ago. One powerful scion of the Zhao family has smeared two administrations."
Sha Ruijin snapped out of his daze, his expression turning serious: "Young Master Zhao? You mean, Comrade Zhao Lichun's son, Zhao Ruilong?"
"Yes, Secretary Sha. It's Zhao Ruilong." Yi Xuexi's attitude was very proactive. He wanted to make a good impression on the newly arrived provincial party secretary.
Taking sides decisively—that's Yi Xuexi's little trick.
"Secretary Sha, this is the Lakeside Garden upscale residential community. The young master of the Zhao family has made a fortune."
Yi Xuexi showed Sha Ruijin the Lakeside Garden residential building. Because of this project, Zhao Ruilong made 1.2 billion yuan. No wonder the cadres in Luzhou said that Zhao Ruilong made his fortune in Luzhou and in Crescent Lake.
Sitting behind him, Tian Guofu said, "Secretary Sha, Lakeside Garden was Zhao Ruilong's first pot of gold, and the food court on the lake was his money-counting machine."
. . . . . .
That evening, Sha Ruijin, Tian Guofu, and Yi Xuexi were eating boxed lunches.
Secretary Bai's phone rang, and a message reached his ears.
"What? A vice mayor of Qijiang City has died! The cause is unknown?" Secretary Bai was shocked and his voice suddenly rose.
Swah——
Upon hearing this news, Yi Xuexi and Tian Guofu immediately put down their chopsticks and turned their gaze to Sha Ruijin.
Sha Ruijin slowly put down his chopsticks, his expression becoming extremely solemn: "Contact Liao Yuzheng, the secretary of the Qijiang Municipal Party Committee, immediately. Also, notify Comrade Lin Yunfei by phone."
"Give my personal phone number to Comrade Lin Yunfei so that he can contact me as soon as possible."
Sha Ruijin thought about many things, his expression shifting between light and dark.
The treason of a deputy mayor, Ding Yizhen, caused a great uproar and became known throughout the country.
Now another deputy mayor has died under mysterious circumstances.
The waters of Handong are truly deep. Does nobody want me to have an easy time? Maybe everyone should just give up.
Sha Ruijin's mind worked quickly, and his first thought was to have Lin Yunfei set up a special task force, with himself serving as the task force leader.
The first reason is Lin Yunfei's special and highly sensitive identity. He is the Standing Committee Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province, the Second Deputy Secretary of the National Security Bureau of Handong Province, and the Deputy Mayor of Jingzhou City, Handong Province.
In addition, Lin Yunfei's background is as strong as steel, and the third generation of the Lin family in Beijing is the most suitable candidate.
The second reason was to lure Lin Yunfei away from Jingzhou, the epicenter of the political storm, under the guise of the special investigation team's orders.
Now that the Lin family has entered the fray, the second and third leaders of the Handong Provincial Party Committee have joined forces.
This allowed him to experience defeat for the first time at the provincial party committee standing committee meeting.
After careful consideration, Sha Ruijin still wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
As long as Lin Yunfei is not in Jingzhou, he will have the opportunity to divide and win over the other provincial standing committee members one by one.
. . . . .
Secretary Bai nodded quickly, took out his phone, and dialed the number of Liao Yuzheng, the Party Secretary of Qijiang City.
"Secretary Liao, I am Secretary Sha of the Provincial Party Committee. Secretary Sha asked me to inquire with you about the cause of death of the deputy mayor of Qijiang City."
Are there any specific suspects?
"How many days will it take to solve the case?" Secretary Bai asked hurriedly, pressing for an answer in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Liao Yuzheng stammered, "Director Bai... this... we are still investigating. What exactly is the reason? Our municipal party committee and government don't know."
Secretary Bai looked displeased and snorted coldly, "Secretary Liao, you're playing games with me. Secretary Sha of the Provincial Party Committee is taking this very seriously."
Sha Ruijin reached out, took the phone, and commanded, "Liao Yuzheng. This is Sha Ruijin from the Provincial Party Committee. Listen carefully."
Liao Yu's Adam's apple bobbed, a chill ran down his spine, and he stammered, "Secretary Sha... please give me your instructions."
Sha Ruijin ordered in a deep voice, "I will send Lin Yunfei, the executive deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department, to form a special task force to go to Qijiang City."
"We will crack down on both tigers and flies. No matter who is found, there is no upper limit."
"Even if it's you, Liao Yuzheng."
After finishing speaking, Sha Ruijin decisively hung up the phone and handed it to Secretary Bai.
Sha Ruijin then turned to Tian Guofu and Yi Xuexi: "Comrade Yi Xuexi, Comrade Guofu, it seems our work is more arduous than we imagined. This investigation has shown me the problems in Lüzhou. The matter of the Zhao family's young master must be thoroughly investigated."
Tian Guofu nodded and stated, "Secretary Sha, we firmly support your decision. The food court run by the Zhao family's son at Crescent Lake 510 is creating a complete mess."
Yi Xuexi also firmly stated: "Secretary Sha, rest assured. I will definitely cooperate actively with the special investigation team to thoroughly investigate the issues surrounding the Zhao family's son."
Sha Ruijin nodded slightly, already having made up his mind.
About seven or eight minutes later.
Lin Yunfei called: "Secretary Sha, you wanted to see me?"
Sha Ruijin, with a serious expression and holding his phone, told Lin Yunfei, "Comrade Yunfei, something big has happened in Qijiang City. A deputy mayor has suddenly died, and the cause is unknown. I suspect there is a secret behind this."
"I've decided to appoint you as the head of the special task force. Go to Qijiang City immediately and thoroughly investigate this matter."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yunfei frowned. He wanted to politely decline, but Sha Ruijin didn't give him the chance.
Sha Ruijin said with a serious expression, "Comrade Yunfei, I know you are busy with work. But after all, you are the Executive Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau of Handong Province."
“As a police officer, you have the ability and the responsibility to take on the role of head of the special task force in the face of such a major incident.”
"This is the trust that the Handong Provincial Committee has placed in you. I hope you will not let them down."
Lin Yunfei remained silent for a full ten seconds: "Alright, Secretary Sha. I'll take charge of setting up the special task force. We'll set off for Qijiang City tomorrow."
A smile appeared on Sha Ruijin's face: "That's right, Comrade Yunfei. Our Provincial Party Committee is your strong backing."
114. Zhao Anbang took drastic measures, transferring Hou Liangping to the special task force.

Lin Yunfei hung up the phone, his face ashen.
Zhao Lan, wearing a silk nightgown, hugged Lin Yunfei from behind and said affectionately, "Yunfei, it's time for you to pay your dues."
Lin Yunfei slowly turned his head, looked at Zhao Lan, and said something surprising: "Lanlan, I'm in trouble. Sha Ruijin just appointed me as the head of the special task force."
"Special task force? What special task force?" Zhao Landai frowned slightly, quickly released Rouyi and looked at Lin Yunfei.
Did you see yesterday's news?
"CCTV News reported that a deputy mayor of our Handong Province has died. It was Lin Yu who reported it." Lin Yunfei spoke slowly, his expression very serious.
Zhao Lan frowned: "I know about this. Sha Ruijin actually sent you?"
"Isn't this blatant manipulation, a diversionary tactic?"
Zhao Lan's mind raced; she possessed an exceptionally high level of political sensitivity.
Zhao Mengsheng personally taught Zhao Lan from a young age, and she was well aware of all the intrigues and schemes in officialdom.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yunfei sighed, "Lanlan. After all, he is the Party Secretary of Handong Province, and I cannot openly refuse him. Of course, Sha Ruijin did not give me the opportunity to refuse either."
"He even said, 'I cannot let down the expectations of the Handong Provincial Committee.'"
"Don't forget, I am now not only the vice mayor of Jingzhou City, but also the executive vice director of the Public Security Department of Handong Province."
"I am still the Second Deputy Secretary of the State Security Department of Handong Province."
"I'm holding three positions all by myself." Lin Yunfei held up his right hand, showing three fingers. He looked helpless. "What am I supposed to do? A deputy mayor of Handong Province has just died."
“As the provincial party secretary, Sha Ruijin knew about this matter. He dispatched a special task force to investigate and ordered me, the executive deputy director of the provincial department, to serve as the head of the task force.”
"That makes perfect sense."
Zhao Lan, with a serious expression, walked to the bedside and unplugged her phone charger: "I understand what you mean, but Sha Ruijin has gone too far."
"I need to make a phone call to Uncle Anbang."
After saying that, Zhao Lan directly opened her phone's contacts and dialed Zhao Anbang's number.
