Gu Songlin looked at Han Bin and Zhang Liren, and thought that the first and second leaders of the Municipal Public Security Bureau were all his loyal subordinates, he couldn't help but feel a sense of enthusiasm in his heart that everything was in control.

Only then did I truly taste the joy of being the secretary of the municipal party committee.

The feeling of power in hand is passionate and intoxicating.

Zhang Liren said loudly: "Comrades, let us welcome Songlin with warm applause~ Remember to make an important speech."

"Wow—"

"Wow—"

Gu Shu~ remembered his spirits, his big back was shining under the light, and said happily: "Comrades, Shaoan Municipal Public Security Bureau is responsible for ensuring the economic development of the city, ensuring the property and life of the people in the city, and maintaining social public order. The Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government are satisfied with your work."

"Wow—"

Applause rose again.

"At present, the Party and the government are leading the people of the whole country to concentrate on construction and development. The Public Security Bureau must also take the initiative to change its functions, carry out work around economic construction, and safeguard the economic construction of the whole city... Therefore, I think the achievements of the Municipal Public Security Bureau can only represent the past, and the situation before you is still very complicated."

"...Next, I will introduce to you the new member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Director Han Bin has rich work experience and outstanding achievements. When he was working in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, he was known for his strict work attitude and serious work style. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone here not to hit Director Han's gun and be used by Director Han to sacrifice the flag."

This is to build momentum for Han Bin.

The Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee personally took the initiative to build momentum for Han Bin, and the support was extremely strong. Han Bin was moved. After Zhang Liren said, "Let's invite Director Han to speak," he coughed and said in high spirits: "Comrades, the Municipal Public Security Bureau is a powerful department under the leadership of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. We must resolutely implement the decisions of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, assume our glorious mission, and do our work diligently. Just now, the Secretary of Songlin gave a high evaluation of the Public Security Bureau, which shows the importance and love of the Municipal Party Committee leaders for us. However, I want to pour cold water on everyone and talk about the problems existing in the Municipal Public Security Bureau."

When Han Bin said this, his face looked extremely serious.

The authority of leading cadres comes from several aspects. First, the most important point is the level of the official rank. The greater the difference in levels, the stronger the sense of official authority. Even if you don’t say a word, it can cause heavy pressure to subordinates; second, the personal charm that officials themselves possess. Leaders who have been in high positions for a long time will have a momentum. They can be strongly radiated and oppressed; third, they are the ability of leading cadres. Ability needs to be reflected in actual work. Departments like the Municipal Public Security Bureau are at the forefront of the struggle against criminal gangs and illegal activities, and their abilities can be intuitively revealed in dealing with practical problems.

Also, criticizing subordinates’ mistakes and problems. Keeping a certain distance from subordinate cadres is also an effective way to improve the authority of superiors.

"The public security situation in Shaoan City has deteriorated in recent years, mainly manifested in the decrease in the trust of police officers in the minds of the masses, and the number of criminal cases has gradually increased. Eventually, the leaders of the provincial party committee visited Shaoan and were rushed into the convoy and threatened. It seriously affected the characteristics of the police officers' ability to win the battle... In the next step, the Municipal Public Security Bureau will carry out a vigorous learning activity. Correct their work role, outlook on life and values. This activity is not a formality activity, but must be participated by everyone and passed the test."

"...I can clearly tell all the comrades here that I came to work at Shao'an Municipal Public Security Bureau to pick the mistakes of everyone, and to whip you with a whip. Therefore, it is best for you to make fewer mistakes. For the grassroots police officers below, I hope you will also like me, pick more of the mistakes of subordinates and don't pretend to be a good man. This will not help you."

It can be heard that the new Director is completely different from the previous Director Li, and the working methods are also different from Director Zhang. It seems to be very good at talking. Moreover, the work mode is to pick the faults of subordinates, so I don’t know how many points can I give when dealing with specific matters?

Halfway through the meeting, a cadre from the duty office of the municipal bureau rushed into the venue and reported to Zhang Liren: "Director Zhang, a bus burning incident occurred in the Liuhe section of Jicheng District, with serious casualties."

Zhang Liren's face darkened and said, "I didn't see Songlin Secretary~ I'm here and Director Han are there. Is Director Han talking?"

The cadre said with a anxious look on his face, "Shu Gu~Just, Director Han, that, that..."

"Tell me, what's going on?" Zhang Liren understood that he rushed into the venue so anxiously and interrupted the speech of the Public Security Bureau Director. The situation must be very serious. He eased his tone and asked: "What is the casualties? How many people died?"

"The information I have obtained so far is that there are at least 60 passengers on this bus, less than half of which have escaped."

Everyone in the venue took a breath of air conditioning.

According to the documents of the Ministry of Labor, a death of more than three people at a time is a major casualty accident; a death of more than ten people at a time is a major casualty accident. If a serious casualty accident occurs, severe accountability must be held.

Gu Songlin's face changed drastically and he said, "Director Zhang, Director Han is not familiar with the situation just after he arrived in Shaoan. Now you are in charge of the Public Security Bureau. Take action immediately, control the accident scene, and try to reduce casualties. Director Han, the meeting is suspended, and we will go to the scene to direct the rescue work immediately."

The Municipal Party Secretary~After the order, the entire machine of the Public Security Bureau immediately started to operate efficiently.

Gu Songlin and Han Bin took a car and drove out of the Public Security Bureau. Shortly after they left the public security bureau, they saw thick black smoke rising from the sky in the distance, covering the sky and the earth. When they approached the scene, the entire road was already blocked. Gu Songlin and others had to get off the car and walk away.

The bus that happened was an air-conditioned bus. Due to the many passengers in the carriage and the window glass could not be opened, the people who escaped after the fire rushed to squeeze into the front and rear doors, causing even greater chaos. Most passengers were swallowed by the fire before they could escape, and the scene was terrible.

When Gu Songlin and Han Bin arrived panting, the executive vice mayor Ye Zhiran, who was covered in gray face, was holding a loudspeaker to direct rescue. Gu Songlin hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mayor Ye, what's the situation?"

Ye Zhiran looked heavy and said, "Songlin Shu~Record, the situation is very bad. The most conservative estimate is that the death toll exceeds twenty and the injury exceeds thirty."

Gu Songlin only sank down and asked, "Have the number of passengers in the carriage been counted?"

"According to the judgment of the passengers who escaped, the number of people in the car may reach 70 or 80."

"How many escaped?"

"There are less than forty people, and there is no accurate number yet."

At this time, the main leaders of the municipal party committee and government arrived at the scene one after another. After Song Haiping and others arrived at the scene, they met with Gu Songlin and exchanged their respective information.

When Ye Zhiran saw Zhang Liren coming, he left Gu Songlin and others and said to Zhang Liren: "Bureau Zhang, the treatment of the wounded is coordinated and directed by the municipal government. The current main task of the Public Security Bureau is to quickly count the number of casualties without hesitation, confirm the identity of the deceased, and find out the cause of the accident. The speed should be fast. If the municipal government needs support, just raise it."

Zhang Liren nodded calmly and said, "I understand, I will make arrangements immediately."

On this side, Gu Songlin and Song Haiping discussed a few briefly, called Ye Zhiran and other members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee present, held an on-site meeting. After a brief discussion, it was decided to immediately establish the April 13 Accident Investigation Leading Group and the April 13 Accident Aftermath Work Leading Group to carry out actions separately. The accident investigation leading group was led by the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Gu Songlin, with Ye Zhiran and Han Bin as deputy group leaders; the aftermath leadership group was led by Mayor Song Haiping, and Zhou Shan, Zhu Daming and Zhang Yunfeng as deputy group leaders. After the extraordinary meeting, the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government took action separately and implemented the assigned work.

...The bus fire gradually extinguished.

Because the car exploded shortly after the combustion, the gasoline in the fuel tank, the seats, bodies, and paint on the car body became burning objects. The car was burned beyond recognition, leaving only the iron shell that was still smoking. From the front and rear doors of the car, the forensic and public security officers were carrying out unindividual corpses one by one and putting them in a numbered collection bag, waiting to be identified by scientific methods.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, in the municipal party committee meeting room, Zhang Liren reported to the accident investigation leading group based on the investigation results of the Public Security Bureau: "Songlin Secretary, Mayor Ye, Bureau Han, through the investigation of the escapees, the Public Security Bureau has reached a preliminary conclusion that this is a premeditated criminal case."

Gu Songlin looked serious and said, "Tell me carefully."

"It's like this. The fire started from the front of the carriage near the door. Three witnesses claimed that they saw a man in his fifties. When the car was running to Jiefang Road, he opened a plastic bucket full of gasoline, poured it on the ground and ignited it with a lighter. The fire immediately spread widely and could not be controlled at all. The driver immediately opened the door, but there were too many people, and those who could escape were those who were standing at the door."

Public Security Bureau Chief Han Bin asked: "Have the arsonist been confirmed?"

Zhang Liren said: "Director Han, I will report the latest investigation results. According to the description of the witnesses, we visited the ticket seller and ticket inspector in the ticket hall. Coincidentally, the ticket inspector at this train station not only had an impression of this person, but also knew him. It is said that his surname was Zheng and he was a retired worker in Zhuzhou County. The ticket inspector saw him bringing a woven bag and asked him what it contained. The old man named Chen said he bought honey, and the ticket inspector didn't care."

Han Bin immediately asked: "Have you sent someone to Zhuzhou to investigate?"

"I sent Captain Zhang of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Detachment to take his people down in person. Now it should have arrived in Zhuzhou. Secretary Songlin~Reporter, Mayor Ye, Bureau Han, I am planning to go to Zhuzhou County to participate in the investigation tomorrow morning."

Han Bin said: "Okay, Director Zhang will work hard. Be sure to find out the situation as soon as possible and report to the investigation leading group."
