Official Career Storm-Chapter 1306

Mr. Cao asked, "Let me ask you, who has the surveillance video?"

"Well…" Captain Ma couldn't answer.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "I guess someone from the team leaked the video privately."

"Investigate it for me!" Mr. Cao roared.

He hung up the phone, both anxious and flustered.

Thanks to the heat from the accident, the surveillance video went viral within just a dozen minutes, becoming a hot topic.

The comment section was filled with netizens all saying the driver was not at fault.

At this rate, it won't be long before major legal influencers start analyzing it.

And if the investigation goes deeper, it will soon lead to him.

Once the accident determination report is found out, he would be finished.

He now only has two paths to take.

Either invalidate the accident determination report and issue a new one, determining the driver was not at fault.

But in that case, the deceased's family will definitely make a scene.

Or insist on keeping it as it is and instruct Captain Ma to guard it strictly, not to release the determination report, and ignore any external doubts.

Anyway, netizens are like goldfish with only a seven-second memory; bluff them, and after a while when the heat passes, no one will care anymore.

He decided to suppress it!

He called Captain Ma, "Keep the accident determination report safe for me, no matter who comes, don't show it! If it leaks, both of us will be disciplined!"

Captain Ma also realized the seriousness of the issue, and in his heart, he cursed Mr. Cao's ancestors.

You brought this mess, and now I'm dragged into it.

But now there's no other way, he could only brace himself and go down this dark path.

...

Eleven o'clock in the afternoon.

Song Guanchao and his group arrived at the traffic police brigade.

Zhong Baofeng had been here all morning, and seeing them arrive, he immediately approached, "District Chief Song."

"Haven't seen Captain Ma yet?"

"No." Zhong Baofeng smiled mockingly.

"Captain Ma is quite the big shot."

Song Guanchao chuckled and walked into the traffic police brigade.

The police officers, upon seeing Zhong Baofeng, withdrew their gaze.

Song Guanchao walked over, knocked on the counter, and smiled, "Hello, is Captain Ma here?"

The officer smiled, "He's not here."

Song Guanchao said, "I'm Song Guanchao, and I'm currently responsible for the Xuefu Road accident case. I need to review the surveillance footage from the accident scene and the dashboard cameras of the vehicles involved. Who should I contact?"

The officer shook his head, "I don't know."

Song Guanchao asked, "Then who should I ask?"

The officer continued shaking his head, "I don't know."

Song Guanchao said, "Give me your badge number."

The officer's expression stiffened, "I don't handle these cases…"

Song Guanchao's smile faded, "Your badge number, don't make me ask a third time."

The officer, somewhat aggravated, huffed, turned his head, and ignored him.

Song Guanchao wasn't annoyed, he took out his phone, "Mr. Zhong, do you have Captain Ma's number?"

"Yes."

"Tell me."

"Alright."

Song Guanchao entered the number and dialed.

But, although the call went through, Captain Ma didn't answer.

He dialed several times in succession, but no answer.

Song Guanchao smiled, "It seems Captain Ma plans to stick to his course to the end."

He initially thought, if Captain Ma had the sense to cooperate, at most it would result in a reprimanding conversation after the issue was resolved.

But now, not answering the call and avoiding meeting, clearly indicates an attitude problem.

The attitude problem can be as big or small as he wants, entirely depending on what Song Guanchao decides to say.

He dialed Liang Jianfeng's number.

"Hello, Mr. Liang, I'm in charge of Xuefu Road now…"

He briefly explained the current situation and continued, "Captain Ma of the Nanhu District Traffic Police Brigade isn't answering his phone. The officers at the traffic police brigade, when I clearly asked them, are indifferent. Yes, I recorded everything. Okay, I'll hand it to the inspection office later."

The nearby traffic officer's heart shook upon hearing this.

This guy, he's contacting Director Liang Jianfeng?

And he's reporting him right in front of him!

He was a bit anxious.

After Song Guanchao hung up, the young officer squeezed out a smile, "I only handle call-taking, I really don't know anything else."

Song Guanchao acted as if he didn't hear and didn't even look at him.

Zhong Baofeng asked, "What did Director Liang say?"

"He's already contacted Captain Ma, Captain Ma should reach out to me soon."

Zhong Baofeng breathed a sigh of relief.

He'd spent the entire morning being stonewalled, and as soon as Song Guanchao arrived, he found an opening.

He remembered that the Mayor Liang, who also served as the Police Department's head, came from Lingjiang.

Along with Wu Qiangwei and Song Guanchao, they were all from the same faction.

He couldn't help but feel emotional, it's advantageous to have people in the right places.

He was also a bit expectant.

Once this issue is resolved, he could be considered one of Mayor Wu's people, right?

In future situations like today, they shouldn't happen again.

About five minutes later, Song Guanchao's phone rang.

It was Captain Ma.

"Hello."

"Hello, hello, is this District Chief Song? I'm really sorry, I was just busy and didn't see the call."

Song Guanchao didn't waste words with him, directly asking, "Where is Captain Ma?"

"I'm in the office."

"Oh, so you're at the brigade then, hehe, I asked the reception officer and they said you weren't here. Mr. Zhong came to see you and couldn't find you, I thought Captain Ma was deliberately avoiding meeting us."

"No, no, no, how could that be? It must be the reception officer not being aware, since I start work early and have been in the office handling issues. They didn't see me and assumed I wasn't here."

"Let's talk in person."

Song Guanchao ended the call immediately and walked inside.

Cheng Xiang and the others, observing his manner, felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

In the bureaucratic world, even when leaders of a higher level communicate with leaders of a lower level department, they usually speak nicely.

After all, different departments represent different systems; even if you're a level higher, they may still not listen. Offending you, they aren't fearful of retribution.

Moreover, even within the same department, it's rare to handle things as Song Guanchao does.

Mainly to avoid unnecessary animosity; maintaining harmony is beneficial, as one cannot be sure if in the future they'll need the other's help.

So most of the time, if things can be discussed nicely, they are.

Of course, most people aren't capable of making harsh statements or reprimanding others.

But all these unwritten rules don't work with Song Guanchao.

He doesn't give face to anyone, seeming cheerful when he talks to you, but every word hits the nail on the head.

Working with him, there's no need to endure any grievances.

They arrived at the office.

Song Guanchao knocked on the door and walked in.

Seeing Captain Ma sitting behind the desk, Song Guanchao stood at the door, not entering, smiling as he looked at him.

Captain Ma initially wanted to put on an act, but seeing him not enter, he understood the meaning.

He suppressed his internal discomfort, got up with a smile, "District Chief Song, please come in."

Only then did Song Guanchao enter the office.

As soon as he sat down, without waiting for him to ask, Song Guanchao directly questioned, "Who ordered you to issue the accident determination report?"
