Chapter 1064 (1/2)
Panson stood at the door of the office, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Seeing that Zhou Wenhao didn't look up, he cleared his throat and then said in a deep voice, ”director Zhou.”
Zhou Wenhao, who was writing, stopped and looked up at Pan Sen at the door. He pretended to be surprised and asked, ”director Pan?”
”Yes.” panson nodded, and the word ”Chuan” in the middle of his eyebrows wrinkled deeper.
”Ha ha ha, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.” Zhou Wenhao apologized repeatedly, laughed and stood up to greet pan Sen, ”it's impolite for me to meet you for the first time.”
”Director Zhou is half a grade higher than me. There's no reason to welcome him. You're welcome.” pansen walked into the office and shook hands with Zhou Wenhao.
”Director Pan, please sit down.” Zhou Wenhao pointed to the sofa in the rest area, and then turned to open the refrigerator door. ”What do director Pan usually drink when he comes to the inspector's office?”
As soon as his face changed slightly, panson whispered, ”this is my first time to the inspector's office. Pure water is good.”
”Oh, so it is.” Zhou Wenhao took two cans of imported beer, pressed one of them on the tea table in front of Pan Sen, took a sip of the other, and then sat down opposite pan Sen. ”so, this is the first cooperation between the Independent Commission against corruption and the inspector's Office?”
Glancing at the can of beer in front of him, panson showed a slight dissatisfaction at the bottom of his eyes. He understood that Zhou Wenhao wanted to intimidate himself and prohibit him from participating in Qi Kuan's corruption case.
”The ICAC and the inspector's office have always maintained close cooperation in dealing with corruption and corruption cases of police officers. After all, the two have overlapping jurisdiction in this regard, and it is difficult to separate them.” Pan Sen said in a deep voice, ”major general Zhong Ruoxi will also send letters to the ICAC for opinions in case of similar cases in Hong Kong, so as to strive for proper handling of each case.”
Zhou Wenhao chuckled, and the sarcastic color on his cheek was quite strong. When Zhong Ruoxi was the director of the port supervision department, he did send a letter to the ICAC when dealing with similar corruption cases. But it is generally a procedure after the case is handled, which is purely perfunctory. The ICAC is also afraid to be angry and dare not speak, let alone raise any opinions. I didn't expect that after panson said so, it was quite valued by Zhong Ruoxi.
Pan Sen didn't want to entangle too much on this embarrassing issue. His body leaned forward slightly and whispered, ”I'm here for the purpose. I believe director Zhou already knows...”
”Of course I know, but I have a question.” Zhou Wenhao said slightly. ”I heard that Qi Kuan's aunt is director Pan's wife, that is to say, you are Qi Kuan's uncle. Is it true?”
”Yes.”
Zhou Wenhao asked aggressively, ”since there is such a sensitive relationship, why didn't you avoid it?”
”I believe the Executive Council has taken this situation into account when discussing the case.” panson said calmly. ”As for why I didn't avoid it, it's really not something I can answer. If director Zhou has doubts, he can ask the chief executive for instructions and make a new decision.”
”But before that, please also ask director Zhou to cooperate with my work. We have focused our work on the facts of the case rather than simple personal prejudice.”
Zhou Wenhao doesn't want to drive pan Sen out of the core of the investigation on the grounds that his relatives avoid him. It is precisely because he can't do it that he is quick to talk here.
”Since it's work, we naturally need to cooperate with each other,” Zhou Wenhao said with a smile.
”I'm very relieved that director Zhou can say so.” Pan Sen's face is sincere. ”For official corruption, I always advocate to find out and deal with it seriously. Qi Kuan is no exception.”
Zhou Wenhao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Pan Sen without saying a word. He wanted to see what tricks he could play.
”I have read the report submitted by director Zhou before coming. The evidence is conclusive and beyond doubt. What we need to do now is to let Qi Kuan speak. As long as he explains the complete facts of the crime, he can be convicted and sentenced.”
Zhou Wenhao really wanted to throw a big white eye at him. Pan Sen shouted for a long time and said all nonsense. If Qi Kuan spoke so easily, would I still let you sit opposite now? I'm afraid even you will be sent to prison.
”Director Zhou, have you made the latest progress?”
”No.” Zhou Wenhao coughed gently, ”Qi Kuan himself doesn't cooperate very much and hasn't made a breakthrough so far.”
”He is the police chief of the north of Hong Kong. He knows this well.” Pan Sen stared at Zhou Wenhao. ”Our ICAC has its own means to deal with this guy who knows the law and breaks the law. Director Zhou might as well give him to me for a try.”
Zhou Wenhao suddenly understood that Pan Sen had made such a big circle. He was waiting for himself here.
”Want to take Qi Kuan away? Dream.”
Zhou Wenhao thought secretly, but said quietly: ”after all, this is a corruption case of the police department. I still hope the ICAC can cooperate.”
”Ha ha ha, I just said casually that director Zhou should not be so sensitive.” Pan Sen laughed with exaggerated laughter. ”However, according to the resolution of the Executive Council, it was specified that the Independent Commission against corruption and the inspector's office should conduct a joint investigation. Now director Zhou just wants the Independent Commission against corruption to cooperate, which is a little reasonable...”
”I will report this directly to the chief executive, and please rest assured director Pan.” Zhou Wenhao said directly, trying to take the initiative.
”I see, I see.” panson raised his hands and got up with a smile. ”Then I'll go and have a look at Qi Kuan. Is that always OK?”
”Director Pan, please help yourself.” Zhou Wenhao said in an unnatural tone. He watched pan Sen go out of the office and savor his words. He always felt that there was something wrong.
Since panson is Qi Kuan's uncle, he must try his best to cover him up. But why did he lose the battle and transfer the right of investigation to himself just after a brief conversation?
