In the course of Liang Tanghua's conversation, Chen Guitian learned that the anti-gang and anti-evil operation they carried out in Xinleng County this time did not have any sudden cases as an introduction, nor did there be any reports from the masses, but it was purely a surprise attack arranged by the municipal party committee and city.

Moreover, judging from the interrogation of those arrested Gong Zhichao's subordinates, in recent years, they have not had any particularly vile or obvious illegal and criminal acts, and some of the illegal and criminal evidence involved is usury, fighting, and sending people to threaten and stalk debtors.

Moreover, even these behaviors are not very excessive: usury, the interest is about five cents a month, not much more; Fights and brawls did not cause any injuries and deaths, and the most serious one was only a minor injury; Tracking the debtor is only to send some of their ponies to follow the debtor to work or to their home to squat, and there is no restriction on the debtor's person.

The only serious crime committed by these people was the possession of firearms, ammunition and controlled knives.

Moreover, Liang Tanghua also told Chen Guitian truthfully: Through the investigation and visit of the masses by the special case team, many people in Xinleng County do not have any ill feelings towards Gong Zhichao, nor do they feel how arrogant their gang is.

Many of the people surveyed said that they only knew that Gong Zhichao had opened a number of companies, made a lot of money, was also very righteous, and had a good relationship with many people in the department.

Some people who have put money in Gong Zhichao's investment company even defend Gong Zhichao in unison, saying that he is a very trustworthy person, and he is very responsible for every deposit placed in their investment company, not only paying interest to depositors on time, but also once the depositor's family has an urgent matter and needs to withdraw the deposit in advance, he will instruct his subordinates to pay the deposit in time, and sometimes pay an extra one to two months of interest to the depositor to help them tide over the difficulties...... After listening to Liang Tanghua's introduction to Gong Zhichao, Chen Guitian showed a thoughtful expression on his face, and said slowly: "Old Liang, it seems that Director Guo's analysis is correct: Gong Zhichao may be a successful businessman with a certain influence in society, and he also has a certain amount of power and strength, but this time, it is a bit too radical and excessive for you to treat him as the leader of the underworld and evil forces.

"I think that the greatest possibility of your K City Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Committee's deployment and arrangement of this anti-gang and anti-evil action against Gong Zhichao is that Gong Zhichao has offended someone, and the person he offended is estimated to be very powerful, enough to affect the decision-making of your K City Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Committee, otherwise, these things done by Gong Zhichao and his subordinates are not enough to trigger such a special action to sweep away gangsters and eliminate evil.

"What's more, although Gong Zhichao and his people are suspected of forming a gang, their gang has not done anything wrong, oppressed the good and evil, and has not caused a lot of public indignation.

Liang Tanghua knew that Chen Guitian was here on the orders of Director Guo, and the point he just talked about was probably Director Guo's instructions, so although he was still a little worried about how to explain to the main leaders of K City, he still nodded and said: "Captain Chen, I agree with these points of view, in fact, I can't help myself, I can't implement the decision of the municipal party committee and city, so for my suffering, I hope that Captain Chen will give me a reason to explain to Director Guo." ”

In the next two days, Chen Guitian led several members of the inspection team to first check all the case files of the anti-gang and evil case in Xinleng County, carefully read the confessions of Tie Tuo and several others, and then, Chen Guitian personally went to the No. 1 Detention Center on the outskirts of the city and interrogated Tie Tuo and the other four people, and he had a better bottom in his heart: This Gong Zhichao may have been an underworld boss before, but now, he and his subordinates have no new criminal behaviors, especially Gong Zhichao, who has rarely participated in those fights and killings on the rivers and lakes in recent years. Moreover, there are no profit-making behaviors that are habitual by the underworld and evil forces, such as opening casinos, organizing and accommodating women to sell yíns, taking drugs and selling drugs, and every one of his companies and every business is just and innocent, and if he is to be convicted as the leader and chief offender of the underworld and evil forces, it is indeed wronged against him.

After coming to this conclusion, he proposed to Liang Tanghua: Convene the members of the task force and the members of the party committee of the city bureau to hold a meeting to analyze the case of Gong Zhichao's gang and determine the next step.

At the case analysis meeting, Chen Guitian first clarified his viewpoint, the central meaning of which is: Gong Zhichao's gang does exist, but their gang has not caused any harm to society, has not used illegal means to amass money or collect protection money, has not oppressed the people and harmed innocent people, and has not engaged in large-scale brawls for land grabbing...... What is more important is that their gang has not aroused public anger or social instability, so it is groundless and rather arbitrary to designate them as a gang of criminal syndicates and evil forces.

Therefore, the illegal and criminal acts involved in several of Gong Zhichao's subordinates can only be handled as individual cases, and their criminal acts should be punished by each of them, and their illegal and criminal acts cannot be forced on their boss Gong Zhichao, and let him bear their sins.

Next, Liang Tanghua also spoke, expressing support for Captain Chen's opinion, Gong Zhichao's gang cannot be defined as an underworld gang, starting from today, the special case group against Gong Zhichao's gang has been formally abolished, and the secret monitoring of Gong Zhichao and others has also been officially revoked, and after the investigation of Tie Tuo and the other four people who have been found to have committed illegal and criminal acts, they will be immediately transferred to the procuratorate, arrested in accordance with legal procedures, and sentenced by the court according to the crime...... As soon as he said this, Gu Yixin, the political commissar of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, suddenly stood up, and said with a blushing face: "Captain Chen, Director Liang, I firmly disagree with the decision you just made on Gong Zhichao's case, Gong Zhichao's case was personally deployed and arranged by the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Party Committee to investigate and deal with it, and it is also the first case of our K City anti-crime and evil eradication action. Have you reported to the municipal party committee in advance, you have done this, and you want to know where the authority of the municipal party committee and municipal government is. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense.
