It was inevitable that Zhou Chen would be transferred. As a deputy mayor, he was voted out during the People's Congress, a humiliation that had occurred in many places in China. Zhou Chen naturally couldn't stay any longer.
With Zhou Chen's departure, the joint investigation team from the Autonomous Region Party Committee, Government, and Provincial People's Congress officially moved in to Xinli City. This time, the investigation team acted independently. In Xinli City, they did not meet with any local leaders, accept any hospitality, or hold any form of meeting. They were completely isolated from the local leadership team in Xinli City. Their only objective was to not be influenced by Xinli City, and to seek a fair and just investigation.
