At the same time that Xiao Chen was rushing to the compound of the district party committee, he didn't know that on the day he brought Yue Xiaolian to the capital, in a courtyard he was familiar with, the principle of dealing with Zhou Chongnian was decided, which was equivalent to indirectly causing him to have to rush back to Dingqing District today.

No. 47, West Street, Ping'an Road, Beijing, is an extraordinary compound. The compound is not marked on the map, there is no house number, and there is no telephone registration here at the number checker. The entire compound is surrounded by gray brick walls more than 4 meters high and 1 meter thick. Although there is no sign of a military restricted zone, it is guarded by the military. This mysterious compound is the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China, which is responsible for investigating and prosecuting the cases of high-ranking officials.

In this huge courtyard, there are two gray-black buildings with more than ten floors high, which house more than 20 functional departments. Among them, the most eye-catching is the Eight Discipline Inspection and Supervision Offices, which are responsible for investigating and dealing with corruption cases involving senior officials of the Communist Party of China. The division of labor of these eight rooms has a specific arrangement. From the first to the fourth room, it is mainly responsible for the investigation and handling of cases of party members and cadres at or above the deputy ministerial level in various ministries and commissions of the central government, and is in charge of the four vice ministers of the Ministry of Supervision. From the fifth to the eighth room, the main work is to be responsible for investigating and dealing with local party members and cadres at or above the vice provincial level.

However, the Eight Chambers themselves are not the source of the problem of discovering the [***] of officials. Most of the clues for handling cases in the eight major offices come from the Letters and Visits Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection that collects reports from the masses, the instructions of the central leaders, or the cases transferred by the party, government, legislative, and judicial organs at the same level. After clues and materials on violations of discipline from various channels have been collected to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the case still needs to be collectively discussed by the Standing Committee of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and even the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to make a decision on whether or not to conduct a preliminary examination.

According to normal procedures, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection needs to go through eight case-handling procedures: case lead management, preliminary verification, case filing and approval, investigation and evidence collection, case trial, punishment enforcement, representation of the person being investigated, and case supervision and management. However, these procedures are only the ordinary procedures of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in corruption cases, and when the situation is urgent, it may also omit the previous links, directly file the case, and set up a special case team to investigate. Sometimes, even in special circumstances, an investigation will be conducted first, and then a case will be filed.

In the entire process of investigating and dealing with a provincial or ministerial-level official, the number of people involved in handling the case ranges from 40 to 50 to 100. After all, provincial and ministerial-level officials are high-ranking cadres within the party, and once a decision is made, they will inevitably pull out the radish and bring out the mud, which will implicate a wide range of people.

However, at the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to discuss whether or not to conduct a preliminary examination of the case reported by Xiaonan Province and concerning the case of Zhou Chongnian, secretary general of the Xiaonan Provincial Party Committee, who was suspected of serious violations of discipline, there was a one-sided vote, and all members of the Standing Committee of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection voted unanimously to approve the preliminary examination. Secretary Wei Longxiang immediately announced: A special investigation team will be set up immediately to jointly investigate the case with the investigation group of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee.

At about 6 o'clock in the evening of August 16, 1994, two Hongqi cars quietly drove outside the gate of the "Furong Xinyuan" community in the capital of Xiaonan Province and the historical ancient city of Xingcheng. In the afternoon of the same day, at the office meeting of the Standing Committee of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Xiaonan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Procuratorate approved the report of the Xiaonan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the provincial procuratorate on the violation of law and discipline by Zhou Chongnian, secretary general of the provincial party committee and former secretary of the Langliu City CPC Committee.

At 8:10 p.m., Zhou Chongnian and Yin Meixiang, who had already been under surveillance, returned to the residential area from their relatives' homes, and as soon as they got out of the car, they were respectively "invited" to the two red flag cars that had been waiting for a long time, and disappeared into the vast summer night.

On the evening of the 16th, Zhou Chongnian was shuanggui, and Wang Wenyuan also learned the news on the 17th, when he called to inform Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen's mobile phone could not get through, knowing that this time the matter may stop at the provincial party committee or at most the department level Wang Wenyuan remembered that Huang Rui, the secretary who helped Xiao Chen send materials last time, had left a phone number, and looked for his business card to turn it out and called to ask, only to know that Xiao Chen asked for leave to go to the capital a few days ago.

When Wang Wenyuan heard the news, his first reaction was: Zhou Chongnian has been under surveillance for so long, and there has been no response, but this time the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection suddenly responded as quickly as thunder on the ground, is it because Xiao Chen deliberately returned to Beijing and used the power of Xiao's people? Well, Xiao Lao is the first secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the second Secretary Wei seems to have been recommended by Xiao Lao...... But he still shook his head immediately, in order to bring down a district head, Xiao Chen would go to Secretary Wei for help when he was crazy. Speaking of Secretary Wei's realm, even if Xiao Lao is really his "favor", how could he move a secretary general of the provincial party committee because of Xiao Chen, a "little guy"? It's too child's play.

Wang Wenyuan, who couldn't guess what Xiao Chen was going to do in the capital, was actually too anxious, otherwise he would have known as long as he asked Huang Rui by the way, but at this moment, he was also always paying attention to the movements of the provincial party committee, after all, this matter had a lot to do with the stability of his Lao Tzu's authority, so in these matters, it was inevitable that there would be some insufficient intelligence allocation.

The phone rang suddenly! Wang Wenyuan, who was anxiously waiting for news in the office, jumped up from the guest sofa, picked up the mobile phone from the desk, saw that it was Xiao Chen, exhaled quickly, connected the phone, and said like a machine gun: "Xiao Chen? Where are you, it's a big deal, Zhou Chongnian was ...... by Shuanggui last night What, your secretary told you? Oh, okay, that's good, I'm relieved...... You hurry up, I listened to the old man's tone last night, and I feel that the provincial party committee means to find out until the city is checked, and then it may be ...... Secretary Yue may want to control the influence, if you want to do that surnamed Lin, you have to hurry up! ”

Wang Wenyuan, who actually has nothing to do with himself, is anxious for Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen's own tone is still very calm, although those who are familiar with him will find that his speech speed at the moment is still a little faster than usual after all, but the tone of the overall situation is still unchanged: "Well, I know...... Preserved eggs, I won't say anything kind to you, you help me continue to pay close attention to the movements of the provincial party committee, as for my side, you don't have to worry, I can't borrow such a big east wind, and I won't raise this sail. That person was Zhou Chongnian's secretary at the beginning, and it would be difficult not to arrest him if he didn't arrest anyone, I will deal with it as soon as possible, and your focus now is to help me pay attention to when the special investigation team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection will come to Langliu to collect evidence, so I can make arrangements. ”

When Wang Wenyuan heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "My Uncle Xiao, you can really afford to drive me, I know a few people from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and two of them are being temporarily transferred to the investigation team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to cooperate with the work, but I have tried, and I can't contact them at all, it seems that as soon as the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection finds them, the first step is to receive their communication tools...... I try to care about you as much as possible, but ...... I really can't guarantee whether the news is timely, this is the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, not the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection! ”

Xiao Chen laughed, and then remembered that although he was very familiar with the courtyard of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and did not have much special mystery, in the eyes of ordinary people, even in the eyes of people like Wang Wenyuan, the three words "Central Commission for Discipline Inspection" are still a very oppressive term.

"Okay, okay, don't be scared like a chicken, that's what I said, since it's not easy to do, forget it, it doesn't matter much, I'm just going to change the way." Xiao Chen comforted Wang Wenyuan.

Wang Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, he was really a little stunned about the three words of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, not that he had any problems, but he had a little problem, but that little problem was all something that was not on the table, but it was just that young people had a little too much, and economic problems did not exist. His disdain for the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection belongs to the officials' innate awe of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection as a department.

Xiao Chen hung up Wang Wenyuan's phone and immediately contacted Li Yunxin. Li Yunxin had actually gotten the news at this moment, and when he made a phone call, he asked first: "Secretary Xiao, why can't you get through on the phone in the morning?" I almost didn't die! Zhou Chongnian ......"

"I know, I know......" Xiao Chen hurriedly interrupted him and said, "I was going to inform you that I was coming, but you already know, that's good, well, you should be able to guess the situation now, right?" Secretary Yue of the provincial party committee must control the influence, and Governor Liu will definitely not allow this matter to spread all at once, and the scope of the impact has already been determined. The current situation is, is there Lin Zhili in this circle they have set, if Lin Zhili is not qualified to enter this circle, what should we do? After planning for so long, we can't just watch a gust of east wind blow, and our ship is still not moving, right? From the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, has your report been typed? ”

"I got the news, I didn't have time to eat, and I personally sent the things to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection." Li Yunxin saw that Xiao Chen was still speaking so methodically, obviously he was not in a hurry, and he was mostly relieved. Although Xiao Chen has already shown some skill, in Li Yunxin's opinion, he is still very young after all, and when he is in an advantageous position, he may be able to control it well by relying on the ability cultivated and cultivated by his family, but when the situation is unfavorable or the matter is urgent, it is difficult to say whether he can still be so calm. But now it seems that Xiao Chen really has a few brushes.

When Xiao Chen heard Li Yunxin say this, he was very relieved and said, "Okay, very good, you handed over this material in a very timely manner." Now our only chance of winning is to let the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection first launch an investigation of Lin Zhili before the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection notify the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to cooperate with their investigation. Yunxin, we're about to fight a battle with a time difference now. ”

Li Yunxin nodded: "On the side of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, I will contact them immediately, and try to try to let them do special things and carry out it as soon as possible." ”

Xiao Chen could still smile slightly, and said: "Well, I will also call Secretary Hao and Mayor Yang immediately to 'report', I think they will also be happy to help by the way, if they can urge the Commission for Discipline Inspection, we will almost catch this train." ”
