"Such matters should either be investigated by the Disciplinary Committee or by the police. In any case, it shouldn't fall to a deputy mayor like me to initiate action, especially since I have just taken office and can't mobilize many resources."
Chen Fang asked somewhat puzzled.
Fan Xian sighed deeply.
She said, "Neither of those routes is viable, as I mentioned before. Zhao Denggui has already approached the Disciplinary Committee and the police after his daughter was detained, but not only did these two units not respond to him, they even detained him as well. This indicates that both the county Disciplinary Committee and the county police are entangled in interests with the Tobacco Bureau. Otherwise, Chou Goushi wouldn't dare to be so bold and reckless. Approaching them to handle this case would be tantamount to tipping them off too soon and would yield no results."
If the Disciplinary Committee and the police can't be used, then how can we investigate?
