Chapter 020 Can the water fall out of the stone?

After Xiao Chen, who was hundreds of miles away, finally got the exact news, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection held an emergency meeting overnight to discuss the handling of the dereliction of duty of Pengcheng's leading cadres that might occur during the "August 13" Pengcheng fire.

It is not surprising that when this incident happened, because the secretary of the provincial party committee and the provincial governor and the deputy squad leader happened to be not in the province, after the main leaders of the provincial party committee contacted and coordinated by telephone, they were handed over to Xiao Chen, who was ranked third in the provincial party committee and was sitting in the province at the moment, and the deputy secretary Xiao took the lead in this matter.

The reason for this arrangement, of course, is that the party committee leads everything, and secondly, because Xiao Chen is also the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and it is more convenient for him to make some temporary dispositions in the next leadership. If it is an ordinary criminal case, or even an extraordinarily serious criminal case, after the party committee makes a decision, it will also be handed over to the political and legal committee for direct leadership to deal with, but this time it must be handed over to the discipline inspection commission because it may involve the dereliction of duty of leading cadres. Moreover, in fact, although the procuratorate is theoretically an independent organ, in many cases it is subject to the leadership of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Originally, according to the general situation, when this kind of incident occurred, it was enough for the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to send a deputy secretary to go down, but Xiao Chen thought that this time it might involve the main leaders of Pengcheng, and he was worried that only one deputy secretary might not be able to calm the scene, so he finally decided to go to Pengcheng in person to personally supervise the case.

At 9 a.m. on 14 August, the transcripts of those crucial interrogations were sent to the provincial and municipal leaders.

At this time, the provincial and municipal leaders were still busy holding meetings, and Yue Qinglan couldn't remember how many meetings it was, anyway, one meeting after another, from the temporary venue of the people's shopping mall in the golden era to the multi-functional conference hall of Taihu Hotel. First, the fire accident was reported, and then the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee was enlarged, and it was expanded to the three chiefs of the public procuratorate and law. At the coordination meeting, Tang Xushan, secretary of the municipal party committee, announced with a calm face, "At ten o'clock, there will be a meeting of party and government cadres in the city, and all cadres above the deputy department will participate, and they are not allowed to ask for leave!" In this extraordinary period, all units, departments, and every party member and cadre in Pengcheng City have the responsibility to go all out to do a good job in social stability under the unified leadership of the municipal party committee and the municipal government. During this period, there was a constant stream of phone calls, telex and clear code telegrams from the capital and provincial capitals. Leaders of the State Administration of Work Safety, the General Office of the Government Affairs Yuan, and the relevant central authorities have successively issued a series of stern directives demanding that the cause of the fire be quickly ascertained. Before dawn, Xiao Chen, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, rushed to Pengcheng with the provincial procuratorate and the provincial public security department.

Fortunately, the interrogation materials of the three fire suspects and one eyewitness at the scene came out in time, and the relevant on-site evidence was also found, and the provincial and municipal leaders were slightly relieved. The meeting was presided over by Tang Xushan, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Xiao Chen, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Chen Zhili, Director of the Municipal People's Congress, all members of the Municipal Legal Committee and the three chiefs of the Public Procuratorate and Law attended the meeting.

The atmosphere of the meeting was heavy and depressing, the faces of the provincial and municipal leaders were very melancholy, and the participants were cautious and cautious. However, Xiao Chen was still a little more open, trying to put a smile on his face, asking everyone to cheer up.

As if to break the dullness in the venue and boost morale, Xiao Chen praised the Public Security Bureau at the beginning of the meeting and said: "Comrade Yunjin, I see that your Public Security Bureau is still doing well, and the cause of the fire was clarified in 12 hours, and several important suspects were all controlled. ”

Jiang Yunjin hurriedly said: "Secretary Xiao, isn't this all a matter of responsibility, this is what our Public Security Bureau does!" ”

Tang Xushan, secretary of the municipal party committee, said with emotion: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, this time mainly depends on you!" You must take the initiative and constantly seize the fighter plane, and the procuratorate and the court must also have this spirit of taking the initiative to attack and fighting continuously! Okay, Director Jiang, let's talk about the current situation! ”

Jiang Yunjin nodded: "Okay!" Looking at the interrogation records in front of him, Xiōng said with confidence, "Secretary Tang, Secretary Xiao, comrades, according to the preliminary confessions of several criminal suspects and witnesses and the evidence collected at the scene, there are many suspicious points in this fire, and it cannot be ruled out that someone deliberately set the fire." The person who deliberately set the fire may be Liu Tieshan, the captain of the third construction team of the new life decoration company, or Zhou Guigen, the welder of the construction team! ”

Tang Xushan immediately asked: "Comrade Yunjin, you speculate like this, ah, what is the basis for this?" ”

Jiang Yunjin glanced at Yue Qinglan and said to Tang Xushan: "Secretary Tang, this is not my speculation alone, it is the preliminary judgment of our comrades who are handling the case, and the comrades of Yue Jian and the procuratorate also have the same understanding!" In accordance with the spirit of the instructions of the municipal party committee, the procuratorate has intervened in advance and has been cooperating with our investigation. ”

Xiao Chen turned his gaze to Yue Qinglan: "Oh, then Comrade Qinglan, tell me your thoughts and opinions as well!" What did you find on the prosecutor's side? Oh, I heard Governor Yu say that you arrived at the scene very early that day, and sent someone to take first-hand photos of the scene, and I fully affirm this point: it is sensitivity, you and the comrades of the procuratorate arrived at the scene in time in the first time, and you cooperated well with Comrade Yunjin, which is worthy of praise! ”

Yue Qinglan felt that it was the Public Security Bureau that was handling the case on the front line, and it was not appropriate for her to say anything, so she said: "Secretary Xiao, let's listen to the Jiang Bureau first, don't dilute the topic, my thoughts and opinions will be reported later!" He explained in a timely manner, "I'm actually not sensitive, and it's a coincidence, I was reporting to Director Chen last night, and I heard that the Jin Sè era was on fire, so I went over with Director Chen." Jiang Bureau, you say, keep talking! ”

Jiang Yunjin continued: "Now it has been figured out: the direct cause of the fire was the scorching welding flow of electric welding that fell from the fourth floor to the warehouse on the third floor, igniting the remaining decoration materials, paint and old sofas in the warehouse. We have already found the burned-out welder on the site on the fourth floor, and the condensed weld flow in the warehouse on the third floor. On the surface, it was a fire caused by an inadvertent welding operation. However, the situation is likely not so simple, at present, it seems that there are at least the following three doubts: First, there is a serious economic dispute between the third construction team of the Xinsheng Decoration Company and the Golden Sè Entertainment City, from Li Jinghua, the legal representative of the Xinsheng Company, to several suspects involved in the case all admit and admit that the dissatisfaction is very strong, will this strong dissatisfaction cause any of them to lose their minds and take risks? Second, there is a process of fire burning, and there is such a big fire, why didn't Liu Tieshan, a welding operator, find it in time? Is it just negligence? 3. Zhou Guigen, a welder who threatened to set fire to the entertainment city several times, appeared strangely at the scene, but could not explain the rationality of his appearance. What did Zhou Guigen do in half an hour that he couldn't justify himself? Is it possible to get into the warehouse on the third floor and deliberately set it on fire? Very doubtful! ”

These suspicions were also the suspicions of all the participants, including Yue Qinglan.

After Jiang Yunjin's brief report, Chen Zhili was the first to speak, and his emotions were more moving.

Chen Zhili said: "Now it seems that the situation is rather complicated, and it may be that there was a fire or someone deliberately set the fire, and I think that the suspicions of Director Jiang and the comrades handling the case cannot be said to be unreasonable. Therefore, we must be cautious in handling cases, and we must take the facts as the basis and the law as the criterion! In response to the facts of the case, he just said two sentences in principle, no one expected that Chen Zhili turned his head and criticized the Public Security Bureau, "Before this, I asked the comrades who handled the case to understand the situation, and I was really shocked!" I have written down some words in the interrogation transcript, so let's read them to you now! ”

The eyes of the participants were all fixed on Chen Zhili's face, and Yue Qinglan couldn't help but be a little worried.

Chen Zhili put on his old glasses and looked at the notebook in his hand: "Let's listen to what Liu Tieshan said when he answered the interrogation, Liu Tieshan said: I even have the heart to kill Su Quangui!" Su Quanguiguan shānggōu knot, power and money trading, haired, he gold sè age! We have worked hard for the country all our lives, thousands of dollars, and we have all paid for them one by one! We pooled together this life-saving money and set up a self-help decoration company, and Su Quangui still had a black heart to repay the debt! Is there any reason for this? Zhou Guigen's words made me even more worried! Zhou Guigen said, how could Su Quangui dare to open a brothel so openly? Su Quangui opened a brothel, and your public security secretly protected it, but our wife and daughter went to sell yín! ”

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became tense, and it seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder, which could explode at any moment.

Yue Qinglan noticed that Secretary Xiao Chen's usually gentle and elegant face was cloudy, and he didn't speak with his eyes closed, and Tang Xushan, secretary of the municipal party committee, had a very ugly face after secretly looking at Secretary Xiao.

Chen Zhili took off his glasses and glanced at the participants: "Comrades, does the situation that the two suspects said exist?" I think it exists, right? I'm afraid there are more black things than this, right? For example, one of our law enforcement agencies colluded with thieves to collect stolen cars, and the Letters and Visits Office did not deal with the result, and now they have all sued our people's congress! I have already asked Comrade Qinglan and the procuratorate to interrogate! Today I am not criticizing any comrade, nor am I defending Liu Tieshan and Zhou Guigen, no matter what the reason, as long as it turns out that they set fire to it, they will be killed! However, I would like to remind the comrades: we must pay attention to the social mood, we must take the suffering of the common people to heart, and we must not be so numb! ”

When Xiao Chen heard this, he patted the table lightly, nodded and affirmed: "Okay, good, I see that Comrade Zhili's words are a good reminder, very good!" At this time, you must pay attention to social emotions! Comrades, you must not forget the fact that Liu Tieshan and Zhou Guigen are both unemployed workers from bankrupt coal mines in the south, and there are still 30,000 such workers in Pengcheng! Therefore, our public security, procuratorate, and judicial departments must be cautious and cautious in handling this case, and we must be cautious and cautious, and we must take stability as the premise! Comrade Yunjin, you have to take the time to investigate these problems that Director Chen just mentioned, and give an explanation to the people and all aspects! As he spoke, he said to Liu Guangyue, director of the Third Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office, who was accompanied by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection: "The Third Office will also follow up." "The Third Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office is responsible for the discipline inspection and supervision work of the eight cities in central and northern Jiangsu. The main tasks are responsible for contacting and guiding the discipline inspection and supervision work of various cities; It is precisely this area that is in charge of inspecting cases of violations of party and government discipline by provincial cadres in the areas under their charge. Director Liu Guangyue nodded and gestured to write it down.

Jiang Yunjin hurriedly stood up and explained: "Secretary Xiao, Director Liu, Director Chen, there may be such and such problems in our public security system, and some of the problems may be very serious, but ...... But if you want to protect who to open a brothel, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid it's not true! Liu Tieshan and Zhou Guigen have obvious antisocial tendencies, and what they say cannot be used as a basis......"

Xiao Chen's face pulled, and he said angrily: "Comrade Yunjin, don't explain anymore, now is not the time to explain!" You must concentrate on handling this fire case well, and the public procuratorate and law will cooperate closely, and the three chiefs here are the first responsible persons, and they must all take responsibility! Don't talk about topics that have nothing to do with this for the time being, yes or no, the Commission for Discipline Inspection will investigate itself, and you will continue to report and analyze the case. ”

Chen Zhili seemed to feel that Xiao Chen's words might lead to misunderstanding, he was a person who was going down, and he was bolder: "Secretary Xiao, what I just said is related to this fire!" You and the provincial party committee also know the emotions of bankrupt and unemployed workers, and there was an attempt to lie on the rails yesterday, which tossed our Pengcheng enough! Now, it seems that everyone has formed a consensus, as if it is arson! It's not okay to have this kind of preconceived emotion, and I can't set the tone yet! In particular, Director Jiang and Comrade Qinglan have the power to handle the case, and if you make a mistake, you will have to fall to the ground, and if you don't do it well, it will cause serious social turmoil, and this is not in line with the spirit of the provincial and municipal party committees that are stable and overpowering! ”

No one can say that Chen Zhili is wrong, but everyone feels that Chen Zhili has a voice outside the strings, and he is a little disregarded for the overall situation.

After all, it is his old leader, after all, it is a case analysis meeting, it is not okay to go on like this, saying this kind of thing in front of Secretary Xiao is not good for the old leader, and it is not good for the smooth progress of the meeting, Yue Qinglan came up in time: "Hey, Director Chen, aren't we reporting and analyzing now?" No one has set the tone, and Director Jiang is just an analysis! ”

Chen Zhili looked at Yue Qinglan: "Director Jiang said it, and your procuratorate also analyzed that it was arson, isn't it?" ”

Yue Qinglan was very careful: "Yes, Director Chen, according to the current situation, the possibility of arson cannot be ruled out!" With regard to the analysis and judgment of Director Jiang and the Public Security Bureau, our procuratorial organs basically agree with it. However, Director Chen, you are right to remind you, and this is what I just want to say: we can't set the tone, we will never handle the case with any subjective impression now, whether it is a fire or arson, the key is to look at the evidence in the next step. At present, it seems that the evidence of arson is not sufficient, and I have discussed with the Jiang Bureau and are ready to further investigate and collect evidence. ”

Tang Xushan reminded: "In the process of handling cases, you should pay attention to one problem, that is, there is a difference between inside and outside. Even if there is conclusive evidence that it was arson, it is necessary to pay attention to the caliber of external propaganda. My personal opinion is to take matters into account, and we must not particularly emphasize the identity of the criminal suspect as a bankrupt miner, but should stress politics and take the overall situation into account! ”

Xiao Chen picked up and said: "I agree with Comrade Xushan's opinion, and the provincial party committee also means this, Secretary Li also called us just now, asking us to pay special attention to the sensitive points of the current society, I think this article should be stipulated as a political discipline, and the overall situation of the stability of the whole society must be taken into account!" He was afraid that Chen Zhili would misunderstand, so he immediately emphasized, "Comrade Zhili just said very well, no matter what the reason, as long as it turns out that someone has set fire, he will be killed!" Today, all three of you are here, I hope you can all have a clear attitude! ”

Jiang Yunjin was the first to express his stance on behalf of the Public Security Bureau: "Secretary Xiao, Secretary Tang, our Public Security Bureau listens to the greetings of the provincial and municipal party committees, and resolutely acts in accordance with the instructions of the provincial and municipal party committees at any time and under any circumstances, without discount!" ”

Hong Jinmin, the president of the court, also followed Jiang Yunjin and expressed his attitude: "The party leads everything, there is nothing to say!" Secretary Xiao, Secretary Tang, our court must listen to the greetings of the provincial and municipal party committees! It seemed that he was still unfinished, and glanced at Yue Qinglan, "But the key depends on how the procuratorate prosecutes in the future, and how the procuratorate prosecutes, we will judge!" ”

Xiao Chen, Tang Xushan, Chen Zhili and all the participants focused their eyes on Yue Qinglan.

Yue Qinglan felt that this state of affairs was not easy to express: the party's leadership is political leadership, and the party should also operate within the scope permitted by law, and neither the provincial party committee nor the municipal party committee should interfere in the investigation and trial of specific cases. Therefore, he carefully said with words: "Secretary Xiao, Secretary Tang, our procuratorate must unswervingly and conscientiously implement the spirit of the instructions of the provincial and municipal party committees, and must take the facts as the basis and the law as the criterion to handle this case with great impact well, and make legal explanations to the relatives of the victims and the whole society!" ”

Tang Xushan obviously heard the subtleties of Yue Qinglan's statement, nodded at Yue Qinglan and said: "Okay, Comrade Qinglan, it's good that you have this attitude, the municipal party committee will not give any instructions on the specific circumstances of the case, let alone use power to replace the law and interfere in your handling of the case." However, there may be other influences, for example, your husband, Comrade Huang Yihe, called me this morning to guarantee the ticket for the new life decoration company. I didn't have anything polite, I told him, you'd better not fight this guarantee, Secretary Huang, let our public security procuratorate handle it according to law! ”

Only then did Yue Qinglan know that this bankrupt husband actually called Tang Xushan, secretary of the municipal party committee!

Xiao Chen snorted and said: "So, I said, the rule of law is not so satisfactory now, the problems are many, there are not only the problems of power and law, replacing the law with power, suppressing the law with power, but also the problems of love and law, reason and law!" Comrade Xu Shan told me about Comrade Huang Yihe's situation, and did not deny that Huang Yihe, head of the leading group for bankruptcy of the mining group, was a good comrade and had deep feelings for the workers of the bankrupt coal mines, but this kind of affection must not affect our handling of cases and affect our fair law enforcement! ”

Yue Qinglan was hot for a while, and said in embarrassment: "Secretary Xiao, you are right, I will definitely pay special attention to this problem!" Then, to get to the point, "the direct cause of the fire should be further investigated." In addition, it is also necessary to investigate the clues on the suspected dereliction of duty, because if the action is slow, it may create an opportunity for the criminals suspected of dereliction of duty to collude and get away with the crime. The situation on the scene proves that the problem of malfeasance not only exists, but also the consequences are serious! For example, the façade house that Su Quangui built on the road, such as the unlicensed operation in the Jin Sè era......"

Xiao Chen waved his hand and interrupted Yue Qinglan's words: "Comrade Qinglan, there is no need to elaborate on this, you three public prosecutors and law will do it according to law!" He glanced at Tang Xushan again, motioned for him to continue, and Tang Xushan then said: "Everyone has heard what Secretary Xiao and the provincial party committee meant, and I will emphasize one more point, the current focus is still on the direct cause of the fire." Now the pressure is extremely heavy and we must come to the right conclusions as soon as possible! Okay, comrades, it's not too early, and there will be a meeting of party and government cadres soon, and now, on behalf of the municipal party committee and municipal government, I will talk about a few spiritual ......"

When Tang Xushan gave instructions on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, Yue Qinglan was distracted, and the raging fire that pierced the night sky appeared in front of her eyes last night, and she was both anxious and nervous. The pressure faced by the provincial and municipal party committees is actually the pressure faced by her and Jiang Yunjin. Regardless of whether it is subjective or not, whether it is conclusive or not, Liu Tieshan and Zhou Guigen are suspected of arson. It is indeed possible that Liu Tieshan used the welding as a cover to create the illusion of a fire, and it is also possible that Zhou Guigen did something in the warehouse on the third floor within half an hour that he couldn't explain. Further investigation and evidence collection must begin immediately, and Jiang Yunjin should be reminded to ask Wu Chengxun and the comrades of the Public Security Bureau to find out the following questions: What did Zhou Guigen do in the past half an hour? He said that he quarreled with an old man at the intersection of labor, who can prove it? When the warehouse on the third floor caught fire, could Liu Tieshan, who was on the fourth floor, really not find it? I'm afraid I'm going to do a reconnaissance experiment......

New evidence came out the next morning: According to the traffic police on duty on Laodong Road and two newsstand vendors, there was no traffic dispute at the intersection between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. on 13 August, and there was no quarrel between a middle-aged man riding a tricycle and an old man, not to mention for half an hour or half a minute. The reconnaissance experiment at the scene of the Jin Sè era showed that when the fire on the third floor burned, the people on the fourth floor could not see it, the reason was very simple, there were no windows in the front hall of the entertainment city, unless the fire was big enough to jump up from the staircase, Liu Tieshan could not find it at all.

“…… However, this does not mean that Liu Tieshan has no possibility of setting fire! When Jiang Yunjin and Yue Qinglan met to report the situation, they said, "Yue Jian, I ask you to pay attention to an important fact: Liu Tieshan did not come to the Jin Sè Era Entertainment City by accident and temporarily welded this electric welding, he is the construction team leader in charge of the decoration of the Jin Sè Era, and he has worked there for half a year, so he should be very familiar with the structure of this building, and it is entirely possible to use this to create the illusion of a fire!" ”

Yue Qinglan understood what Jiang Yunjin meant: "This means that doubts are still doubts?" ”

Jiang Yunjin said: "I don't think it's a suspicion anymore, the facts can almost be determined!" ”

Yue Qinglan was still very cautious: "Jiang Bureau, I don't think I can determine yet, this is still our subjective speculation!" ”

Jiang Yunjin was a little annoyed, and he was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Yue Jian!" Secretary Xiao and Secretary Tang have been staring at us, waiting for the result, I'm dying of me, why are you still such a mother-in-law? Such a big case, so many suspicious points, let's arrest these two guys for arson first, more than 150 lives, I guarantee that they can't be wronged! ”

Yue Qinglan was unmoved, and said worriedly: "Jiang Bureau, arson and fire are two completely different things!" The maximum sentence for fire is seven years, and arson is punishable by death, so we must not be cautious, we not only have a problem of being responsible for the superior leaders, but also a problem of being responsible for the facts and the law! ”

Since the "law" was raised, Jiang Yunjin couldn't say anything more, sighed, smiled wryly, and in desperation, he personally went to the detention center to preside over another interrogation of Liu Tieshan.

What Yue Qinglan and the comrades of the procuratorate did not expect was that there was a major breakthrough in the case that afternoon: Liu Tieshan finally repented and admitted that he had deliberately set the fire. There was also a new harvest from the on-site forensics, and the remnants of gasoline combustion were found in the warehouse on the third floor. After Liu Tieshan's interrogation ended, Jiang Yunjin and the comrades of the Public Security Bureau approached Yue Qinglan again with the latest interrogation transcripts and relevant case filing materials, and asked the procuratorate to immediately formally arrest Liu Tieshan and Zhou Guigen on suspicion of arson. In order to prove that there was no means, an interrogation tape was also brought.

This was the first time Yue Qinglan had seen Liu Tieshan, albeit on video. At that time, Yue Qinglan did not know that the middle-aged man in the video had any special relationship with her husband Huang Yihe, but according to the case file, she knew that this middle-aged man was a subordinate of Huang Yihe when he was the party secretary of the South No. 2 Mine in the past, the leader of the mine rescue team, and now he is a suspect in arson with strong antisocial sentiments. That night, when watching the video at the Taihu Hotel, Yue Qinglan noticed that this middle-aged man was somewhat familiar, as if he had come to their house in some vague years in the past, maybe to report to Huang Yihe for work, maybe to drink. When Huang Yihe was the party secretary of the South No. 2 Mine, some cadres and workers often came to the door to drink with him, which once made Yue Qinglan tired of it and made her angry.

Tang Xushan, secretary of the municipal party committee, reminded him well: In addition to the problem of power and law, objectively there are indeed problems between emotion and law, and between reason and law. Facing Liu Tieshan, a former miner on trial on the videotape, Yue Qinglan had an indescribable feeling in her heart, both sympathy and pity, and disgust and hatred. How much she hoped that none of this was true, and how much she hoped that Liu Tieshan would loudly defend in front of the public security officers: No, I didn't mean to set the fire! But the facts made Yue Qinglan both frustrated and shocked!

Liu Tieshan's spirit almost collapsed, and he kept bursting into tears during the interrogation, constantly repenting, saying that he was extremely evil, saying that he hated Su Quangui in the Jin Sè era, so he deliberately set fire. According to Liu Tieshan's confession: He had been planning for a long time to set fire to the Golden Sè Entertainment City, but he never talked to anyone about it before or after. He is the captain of the construction team, and it is his responsibility to return the balance of the 200,000 yuan project. Therefore, on the night of August 13, he deliberately set the Golden Sè Era Entertainment City on fire under the cover of burning electric welding, and the subsequent firefighting was completely acting.

Jiang Yunjin on the tape asked: "...... So, Liu Tieshan, why are you acting in this play? ”

Liu Tieshan said: "It's not the singer Liu Xiaoyàn...... Did it come up? Later, there were Lao Zhou and Zhou Guigen of our construction team, and they all ...... I saw that the warehouse on the third floor was on fire, and I ...... I don't pretend I can't fight fires! ”

Jiang Yunjin asked: "How did Zhou Guigen come to the scene?" Is he really unaware? ”

Liu Tieshan said: "It's just not ...... It's not Zhou Guigen's business, it's all my business, really! ”

Jiang Yunjin asked, "Why is it so coincidental?" But when the fire was burning, Zhou Guigen also arrived? Also, why did you ask Zhou Guigen not to admit that he had been to the scene? For what purpose? The arson has been admitted, what else is there to be afraid of? Tell us about Zhou Guigen's situation as well! ”

Liu Tieshan cried loudly, wiping his nose with a handful: "Really...... There's really no matter about Zhou Guigen, I'm ...... I can't tell a lie! Want...... I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you! One hundred and fifteen ...... More than 50 lives, just ...... Kill me a hundred and fifty times...... I am not wronged, I plead guilty and obey the law, and I confess ...... Plead guilty and submit to the law! ”

Jiang Yunjin asked, "Liu Tieshan, why didn't you admit to setting fire before this?" ”

Liu Tieshan muttered, "That...... That's when I had a fantasy thinking you ...... You can't find out! ”

Jiang Yunjin said: "Liu Tieshan, you are wrong!" As the saying goes, if you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do! Let me ask you again: Did you pour gasoline or other combustibles into the warehouse before you burned the electric welding? ”

Regarding this key issue, Liu Tieshan denied it on the spot: "No, this is ...... This doesn't ......"

Jiang Yunjin asked bluntly: "So, what about Zhou Guigen?" Is it possible to do this? ”

Yue Qinglan noticed that at this time, Liu Tieshan on the video seemed to be crazy, and straightened his neck and shouted: "No, I ...... As I said, no...... There is no matter of Zhou Guigen! You...... Be ...... Think I'm pouring gas, shoot me, what ...... Confess any crime, anyway, anyway, I ...... I don't want to live......"

Obviously, Jiang Yunjin and the Public Security Bureau are suspected of confessing to the details of gasoline, and the video is clear.

Fortunately, this detail was not listed as evidence in the arrest materials, so Yue Qinglan and the comrades of the procuratorate did not question this. After all, the procuratorate and the public security have to closely cooperate to handle this big and important case, and the top is so eager to chase after it, Jiang Yunjin and the public security bureau's mood is completely understandable, and it is already good to have no means at this time.

However, in the materials submitted by the Public Security Bureau, Zhou Guigen was still charged with arson.

Yue Qinglan and Zhang Xichūn, the deputy procurator general in charge of approving the arrest, pondered for a moment and felt that it was inappropriate.

Zhang Xi Chūn said to Jiang Yunjin in a consultative tone: "Jiang Bureau, it's not appropriate for Zhou Guigen to file a case for arson now, right?" Although this person is suspected of arson, he has not admitted it himself, and there is no physical evidence, if we cannot prosecute the crime of arson in the future, we will be passive! It's better to start a case with perjury. What do you see? ”

Jiang Yunjin and the comrades of the Public Security Bureau did not insist any longer, and the matter was settled.

On the evening of 15 August, with the approval of the Pengcheng City People's Procuratorate, Liu Tieshan was formally arrested and filed on suspicion of arson and obstruction of judicial testimony, and Zhou Guigen was arrested on suspicion of perjury. Liu Daquan, a plumber who obstructed judicial testimony, was placed under residential surveillance after being arraigned because he finally helped the public security organs determine the facts and fulfilled his obligation to testify. Li Jinghua, the general manager of the Xinsheng Decoration Company, who bears legal person responsibility, is also under residential surveillance and is ready to be summoned by the relevant law enforcement departments......

Xiao Chen did not leave Pengcheng in the three days after the "August 13" fire incident, and did not sleep a single night. After three days and three nights, Xiao Chen's eyes were blue, he was shaking when he walked, and he was extremely tired. However, it is precisely because of such a brave and responsible deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and secretary of the discipline inspection commission that the life of the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee and the municipal government is slightly better. In the face of the leaders of the relevant central departments who rushed to Pengcheng one after another to understand the situation and guide the work, Xiao Chen, with a heavy heart, made reviews on behalf of the provincial party committee and the provincial government again and again, and took the initiative to assume leadership responsibility, which left a very deep impression on Tang Xushan, secretary of the municipal party committee, and the cadres of Pengcheng.

On the afternoon of 16 August, in accordance with the spirit of the latest instructions given by the leaders of the Central Committee and the Government Affairs Yuan, the Jiangdong Provincial Party Committee convened a special meeting of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee to study the "13 August" fire. Before leaving, he was still not very relieved, and he called Jiang Yunjin, director of the Public Security Bureau, and Yue Qinglan, chief procurator, to listen to the latest report on the case.

The location of the report is Xiao Chen's suite at Taihu Hotel. Before the start of the report, Xiao Chen also gave several instructions to the comrades of the coordination group on the aftermath of the fire victims. Twenty years later, Yue Qinglan, secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and first deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, still remembers that the spirit of Xiao Chen's instructions at that time was that when formulating the aftermath plan, it was necessary to be flexible, and to use the compensation and bereavement policy for the families of the victims to the greatest extent, and not to deal with ordinary casualties.

After the comrades of the coordination group left, Xiao Chen said a few words on this topic, and his mood was obviously not good: "Stability overrides everything, and the issue of bereavement must be handled properly!" In the past few days, two more seriously injured have passed, and the death toll has reached one hundred and fifty-five, and their immediate family members, relatives and friends are at least a thousand people, and their emotions must be considered! I don't want to receive the masses who have petitioned for this matter in Jinning one day, and I still want to say this opinion at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee! ”

Yue Qinglan and Jiang Yunjin nodded in agreement, and did not talk further on this topic - one of them is the director of the public security bureau and the other is the chief prosecutor, and their duty is to handle the case, and the aftermath of the victims is not their division of responsibility.

Xiao Chen seemed to see their thoughts, and leaned back on the sofa: "As for you, you also have a problem of active cooperation, you must cooperate with the relevant departments to do a good job in the work of the families of the victims, not only to subdue the criminals, warn and educate the masses, but also to expand the social effect of handling cases, turn passive into active, and maintain the stability of the social and political situation!" ”

It can be seen that Xiao Chen is exhausted at this time, and he is actually struggling to support it.

Yue Qinglan and Jiang Yunjin didn't dare to say more, and responded one after another, asking Secretary Xiao Chen and the provincial party committee to rest assured.

Xiao Chen waved his hand: "Okay, let's talk about the latest progress of the case!" ”

Jiang Yunjin reported and told Liu Tieshan about the fact of arson and the filing of the case, insisting that Zhou Guigen was also suspected of participating in the arson: "However, the procuratorate is more cautious about the case that Zhou Guigen has not filed a case on suspicion of arson, but on the charge of perjury, and believes that it may be safer to do so. ”

Xiao Chen said: "It is right to be cautious and prudent, in addition to avoiding passivity in the future, and more importantly, we can't make unjust, false and wrongful cases because we are in a hurry!" The right to handle the case is in our hands, and Zhou Guigen is now under our control, and it is not too late to investigate the evidence of arson in the future and then file a case for prosecution for arson! The conversation changed, but he said again, "But, Comrade Qinglan, this case still needs to be grasped!" ”

Yue Qinglan reported: "Secretary Xiao, we have been grasping this case very tightly, and now all our comrades are concentrated in the Taihu Hotel to work day and night, and I said two points to you at the meeting today: one is to handle special matters, and the other is to file and finalize the case according to law. We have been actively cooperating with the investigation work on Director Jiang's side, and those who should have been arrested have been filed, and those who should have been arrested have also been arrested. The provincial procuratorate also attaches great importance to it and asks our city court to report once a day. ”

Xiao Chen was more satisfied, and said with sleepy eyelids: "Okay, good, it seems that your public security and procuratorial authorities have cooperated well, that's good!" To tell you the truth, I was a little worried at the beginning, I was afraid that some comrades would ignore the overall situation at such a time and intentionally or unintentionally add luàn to the provincial and municipal party committees. ”

Yue Qinglan's heart tightened, and immediately thought of the old leader Chen Zhili, as well as Chen Zhili's series of unexpected performances after the fire case, and felt that Xiao Chen's words were by no means general, but actually referred to Chen Zhili, who was fighting horizontal artillery in disguise, but also to her - after all, she was the chief procurator who was promoted by Chen Zhili when he was the secretary of the municipal party committee, and she was Chen Zhili's person in the eyes of Xiao Chen and some cadres and people in Pengcheng.

Xiao Chen nodded and didn't say any more: "Comrade Yunjin and Comrade Qinglan, you must be clear that the focus we need to focus on at present is two things, one is to properly handle the issue of compensation and bereavement for the victims; The second is to handle this case seriously and quickly according to the law and calm the anger of the families of the victims! Now there are many legends in society, and many citizens seem to know that they have set fires, and they have demanded that the murderers be severely punished. Therefore, Comrade Qinglan, your procuratorate may not be able to follow the step-by-step process, if you really want to do a special job, prosecute the arson criminals as soon as possible! ”

Yue Qinglan knew that the former secretary of the Wucheng Municipal Party Committee had a strong personality in his eyes. Therefore, Yue Qinglan did not emphasize the difficulties, nor did she explain anything, but said: "Okay, Secretary Xiao, I will definitely take this instruction back with my comrades to study it well, make full use of the laws and policies, and strive to prosecute the criminals suspected of arson in the shortest possible time!" ”

Xiao Chen nodded, and then instructed: "We must also pay attention to strict discipline in handling cases, keep secrets, once the case breaks through here, how can the society know about it immediately?" How can it be so fast? All of a sudden, the sound of killing was everywhere, making the provincial and municipal party committees very passive! The procuratorate should pay attention to the issue of confidentiality, and the public security bureau should also pay attention to it, especially the public security bureau! ”

Jiang Yunjin explained: "The rumors in the society are probably speculation, and the theory of arson has long been there! ”

Xiao Chen glanced at Jiang Yunjin unhappily: "I know that there are a lot of speculations, but there are also a lot of people who may have deliberately released a rumor to make a luàn situation to muddy the waters, right?" You must be politically vigilant, promptly discover and give feedback on the trends and circumstances related to this case, and strive to firmly grasp the initiative in handling cases! ”

Jiang Yunjin said that after returning home, he immediately conveyed and implemented the spirit of Xiao Chen's important instructions.

What Yue Qinglan didn't expect was that next, Xiao Chen turned his head and asked about the specific case: "How did I hear that the owner of the Golden Sè Era Entertainment City, that Su Quangui, was also burned to death by this fire?" Three days have passed, why didn't you report such an important situation? Comrade Yunjin, Comrade Qinglan, talk about it! ”

Yue Qinglan felt that it was inconvenient for her to say it, and she was afraid that she would not be able to explain it clearly, so she set her eyes on Jiang Yunjin.

Jiang Yunjin is Xiao Chen's "comrade-in-arms" Yu Ke is a cadre who single-handedly brought it up, and he basically didn't take this kind of questioning with obvious dissatisfaction seriously, and explained with a smile: "Secretary Xiao, don't get me wrong, isn't our focus in the past three days on Liu Tieshan and Zhou Guigen, the direct perpetrators?" I didn't take much care of the dereliction of duty, so I discussed it with Yue Jian and decided to keep Su Quangui's death a secret for the time being, isn't it worried that I will encounter obstacles when investigating dereliction of duty! ”

Xiao Chen stared at Jiang Yunjin: "Is this Su Quangui really dead?" Is it conclusive? ”

Jiang Yunjin said: "It's true, it's really burned, and Yue Jian and I have personally inspected the corpse." ”

Yue Qinglan also confirmed: "Yes, Secretary Xiao, we will never be wrong about this!" ”

Xiao Chen pondered for a while: "This matter still has to be reported, you have to report it to the municipal party committee as soon as possible!" He also instructed, "The problem of dereliction of duty must also be investigated to the end, and the consequences of arson without the problem of dereliction of duty would not be so serious!" ”

Yue Qinglan reported in a timely manner: "Secretary Xiao, for the dereliction of duty, we have started to investigate under the leadership of Director Liu of the third room, Director Liu said that this matter is mainly for us to handle, and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is not good to take the initiative to intervene, so the first batch of six criminal suspects have been detained by us, it was yesterday, and it is estimated that a few more will be detained soon." ”

Xiao Chen was quite pleased: "That's good!" Comrade Qinglan, as the chief procurator, you must give full play to the functions and roles of the procuratorial departments in exercising legal supervision and in investigating and prosecuting job-related crimes, thoroughly investigate and strictly punish those responsible for the consequences of arson, as well as those who commit crimes of dereliction of duty in the relevant management departments, and give a satisfactory explanation to the masses in this respect! ”

Yue Qinglan smiled bitterly: "Secretary Xiao, this kind of case is more tricky, and it is not as easy to investigate as the direct cause of the fire." It cannot be said that our actions were not swift, but there were still phenomena of collusion, alteration, and falsification of evidence......"

Xiao Chen's face changed, and he frowned: "For those who alter the evidence, make false statements, and resist investigation and punishment, you can consider dealing with them severely within the scope permitted by the law!" It is true that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection does not interfere too much in your handling of the case, but if these people do not shed tears when they see the coffin, then the comrades in the third room must also stand up and let them understand the determination of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection! Xiao Chen paused for a moment, and then said: "However, Comrade Qinglan, I also want to remind you of one point, maybe you also know in your heart: the situation of Pengcheng's cadre team is relatively complicated, and there are some grievances and grievances in history, you, the chief procurator, must pay attention to it, and must not handle the case with subjective emotions, let alone make everyone self-endangered and panicked, you must talk about the matter!" ”

This is both a kind reminder and a solemn warning, an unmistakable warning.

Yue Qinglan thought for a while and expressed her attitude sincerely: "Secretary Xiao, if one day, you and the provincial party committee find out that I have deviated from party discipline and state law and made another set, you can consider removing me, I will never have any complaints, really!" ”

Xiao Chen smiled kindly: "Comrade Qinglan, are you serious?" He said kindly, "Bring a message to Comrade Zhili for me, please don't be so aggressive, such a big thing happened in Pengcheng, and no one's face is good-looking!" Is it just to embarrass Comrade Ko and Comrade Asahiyama? Isn't he Comrade Chen Zhili embarrassed? Don't say that you leaders who have a direct relationship with Pengcheng, in the past few years, it is me, and I also admit that I have leadership responsibilities, and everyone I have seen in the past few days will review it! ”

Obviously, Xiao Chen regarded Yue Qinglan as Chen Zhili's spokesperson, after saying this, without waiting for Yue Qinglan to say anything, he asked the secretary Chen Dang to take out two small pots of tea and put them in front of Yue Qinglan: "Comrade Qinglan, this is the new Longjing sent by the Jiangnan Provincial Party and Government Delegation when they visited our province last month. Please pay attention to his body and sulk less about small things! ”

Yue Qinglan felt a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't help it, so she had to take the tea into her handbag.

Xiao Chen also instructed in an aggravated tone, saying that criminals who seriously endanger social and public safety cannot be tolerated by any country or social system, and that Liu Tieshan, who set the fire, should be prosecuted as soon as possible, and killed as soon as possible, and killed in public!

Xiao Chen's three consecutive words of "kill" left a deep impression on Yue Qinglan. But what impressed her even more was that after Xiao Chen finished saying this, he added extremely seriously: "You are all engaged in law, so you must know that there must be a premise for the verdict of the law: the facts of the crime are clear and the evidence is indeed sufficient!" ”
