Tang Xue received a call from Ning Xiangcao's secretary. She was a little confused at first, but after the other party explained the purpose of the call, she suddenly realized it and was grateful to Fang Zhicheng. The treatment level of Yunhai Hospital is naturally much better than that of Hanzhou. According to Ning Xiangcao, if Yunhai can't cure it, she can also help him contact foreign experts.
After Tang Xue finished talking to her secretary, she called Fang Zhicheng and thanked him, "Zhicheng, your friend has called me. I will go through the transfer procedures and go to Yunhai tomorrow."
Fang Zhicheng had just arrived at the office not long ago. He thought to himself that Ning Xiangcao's actions were really quick, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. My friend has some connections in Yunhai and will definitely provide Minister Wan with the best treatment environment."
Tang Xue sighed softly, "It's useless to say too many words of thanks. I just hope that Lao Wan can recover soon."
After hanging up the phone with Tang Xue, Fang Zhicheng sighed. It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide timely assistance. At this critical moment, Fang Zhicheng gave Wan Heng such a great help. Although he didn't know how Wan Heng would recover in the end, or even couldn't ensure that he could return to officialdom, Fang Zhicheng still unswervingly gave Wan Heng his greatest help.
After processing documents in the office for half an hour, Xiang Xin knocked on the door and came in. Fang Zhicheng pointed to the sofa and asked him to sit down. From his expression, he guessed that there might have been some progress regarding Wan Heng's poisoning case.
Xiang Xin took a sip of tea and said slowly, "We carefully studied the video footage of that hotel and found a clue. Around 8 o'clock that night, a man wearing a baseball cap came in and out. We asked the hotel staff, but none of them knew this suspicious man."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and asked, "If we know his modus operandi, maybe we can follow the clues and find out something."
Xiang Xin smiled bitterly and said, "You are right. There were so many people present that night. Everyone drank and ate. Except for him, no one had any problems."
Fang Zhicheng said in a deep voice: "There is another possibility. Someone among the people who had dinner that night cooperated with him and took advantage of the chaos to sprinkle the poison into Wan Heng's tableware."
Xiang Xin was slightly startled, and sighed: "This possibility is also very high."
Chapter 0609: Opportunity to Make a Comeback
Xiang Xin checked many clues and finally pointed to the man in the baseball cap, but that man alone could not contact Wan Heng, so there was another possibility, that there was an insider in the dinner. There were eleven people dining together that night, in addition to the three people from Fengjiashan, there were six or seven people who were all officials from Hanzhou.
Fang Zhicheng said in a deep voice: "Go investigate the officials who had dinner that night, and you should be able to find clues."
Xiang Xin frowned and asked doubtfully: "There were entrepreneurs involved that night. Could those people also have problems?"
Fang Zhicheng waved his hands and said with absolute certainty, "Impossible. I was there at the time, and although Feng Jiashan and Wan Heng did not have a very harmonious relationship, judging from Feng Jiashan's reactions, he would not have murdered his college classmate. There may be a grudge between them, but it is not to such a serious extent."
Xiang Xin also nodded and said, "Since they went to such great lengths to poison someone, the conflict between the two must have reached an irreconcilable point. Now the Municipal Party Committee has learned of Wan Heng's condition and has begun discussing whether to adjust the Standing Committee. After all, the position of Organization Minister is very important."
Fang Zhicheng said in a deep voice: "Perhaps someone wants this effect, to poison Wan Heng, and then he will have the opportunity to replace him."
Xiang Xin felt his scalp tingling, and smiled bitterly: "Is there anyone in the world who would do such a thing for power?"
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "Officialdom is so dark to begin with. For power, people will do anything. In ancient times, even fathers and sons could kill each other. If there is really a point of interest in the officialdom, what can't they do?"
Xiang Xin said: "Then I will investigate the people who are most likely to replace Wan Heng as the Municipal Party Committee Organization Minister. They are also very suspicious."
Fang Zhicheng added, reminding, "There must be someone inside the dinner who is the culprit. But he may not be the direct beneficiary. Perhaps the biggest beneficiary promised him some benefits."
Xiang Xin sighed. "The suspicious man in the baseball cap, the insider at the dinner, and the candidate for Organization Minister, if these three people are really connected, it is a very likely causal relationship."
The reason why Fang Zhicheng made such an analysis was that he had been in the officialdom for a long time and had seen many similar cases where people were willing to take risks for the sake of power.
Fang Zhicheng then went to the municipal party committee compound in person to meet with Xia Lanshan. Xia Lanshan was very happy to see Fang Zhicheng take the initiative to visit him. He asked his secretary to make a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Xiao Fang, why are you here? Is there anything special?"
Fang Zhicheng said bluntly: "Secretary Xia, I came to you to talk about Minister Wan's poisoning."
Xia Lanshan's face darkened and he sighed, "Xiao Fang, I know you have a good relationship with Wan Heng. This matter involves important leading cadres of the Municipal Party Committee. I have instructed the Municipal Public Security Bureau to organize the most experienced investigation team to conduct in-depth research. However, from the current situation, there are not many clues."
Fang Zhicheng said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter how the case develops. I want to ask you to slow down the pace a little bit on the issue of the new Organization Minister."
Xia Lanshan frowned slightly, a little unhappy, because Fang Zhicheng's request had affected his authority. He said calmly: "The municipal committee will discuss this matter, so you don't need to worry about it."
Fang Zhicheng knew that his words were a bit too abrupt. He sighed and said, "I think something is fishy. It seems that someone deliberately took charge of everything, letting Minister Wan enter the hospital, and then trying to replace him."
Xia Lanshan frowned and said in a deep voice: "You are just guessing everything. Nothing without evidence can convince anyone."
Xia Lanshan belongs to Governor Bu's faction, and Wan Heng belongs to Li Siyuan's faction. The two had conflicts before, so Xia Lanshan did not trust Wan Heng very much, and even sidelined him in organizational work. Now that Wan Heng is in trouble, Xia Lanshan can only express sympathy as a colleague.
Fang Zhicheng said in a deep voice: "Secretary Xia, there is definitely something fishy about this matter. If you follow the wishes of those conspirators now, you are actually planting a bomb in the team."
Xia Lanshan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Fang Zhicheng explained: "If it is true as I guessed, there is a huge conspirator who has sneaked into the team. He is willing to poison and frame his competitors in order to gain more benefits in the future. Can you guarantee that he will not do something even more terrible?"
Xia Lanshan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He had a habit of shaking his left leg slightly when thinking. "Xiao Fang, the premise is based on the speculation that someone is trying to get promoted by poisoning Wan Heng. What if this is not the case? Did the Standing Committee always reserve a position for Wan Heng? How can the team function then?"
Fang Zhicheng whispered, "Secretary Xia, please wait a while before making a decision on the position of Organization Minister."
Xia Lanshan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How long will it take? If it takes too long, I'm afraid it's not up to me. The provincial party committee will also intervene!"
Fang Zhicheng had a plan in mind. According to Xia Lanshan's prestige in the Standing Committee, the treatment could be delayed for a month, and it would not have a big impact on the work of the Organization Department. As for the treatment effect of Wan Heng, a rough estimate could be made in a month. If Wan Heng's recovery was too poor, even if he returned to his current position, there would not be much he could do.
Fang Zhicheng asked sincerely: "Secretary Xia, how about a month?"
Xia Lanshan pondered for a moment. He needed to consider everything comprehensively: Is it worth doing this for a non-ally
The answer is no.
However, Xia Lanshan had other plans, so he stared at Fang Zhicheng for a long time, and Fang Zhicheng also calmly met his gaze. Xia Lanshan had to consider whether it was worth it to do this in order to completely win over Fang Zhicheng.
Xia Lanshan finally spoke, and said slowly: "From the perspective of the relevant work process, the selection of a new core leader requires multiple procedures such as screening, inspection, and evaluation. Therefore, it takes a certain amount of time. If the process is careful, it will take about a month."
Fang Zhicheng was delighted. Xia Lanshan did not tell him the result directly, but hinted to him in another way that he could control the progress from the process.
