Chapter 53: The Disaster of Innocence
As soon as the comrades of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Municipal Procuratorate appointed by the Jiangzhou City CPC Committee learned of the relationship between Li Guanghui and Li Guangming, they immediately questioned the members of the board of directors and the financial personnel of the Xintiandi Shopping Plaza. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info then conducted a thorough investigation of the traces of several large sums of money in its financial books, and basically confirmed the identity of Li Guanghui's shareholder in Xintiandi.
So he immediately intensified the interrogation of Li Guanghui and asked him to explain whether his brother Li Guangming also contributed money. Li Guanghui knew that as long as he and Li Guangming's account information was checked, he could easily get the answer, so he simply gave up any illusions, and poured beans from the bamboo tube and said it all in one go.
It turned out that from the establishment of the project to the development of Xintiandi Shopping Plaza, it was a project that local officials saw the commercial value of this prime location and concocted it single-handedly. The so-called developers are just puppets, and the real major shareholders are actually all local officials.
With the gradual intensification of anti-corruption actions across the country, the central government has successively eliminated the big tigers in various fields to demonstrate its determination to fight corruption. Many local officials were deeply frightened by the anti-corruption storm and were reluctant to stop there, so they began to use their authority to find some high-quality projects, borrowing a puppet shell company to cover people's eyes and ears, and investing large sums of money in corruption over the years. In this way, we can not only talk about anti-corruption in public, but also reap the benefits in private, killing two birds with one stone.
Li Guangming was "invited" into the investigation team overnight, and the comrades of the investigation team did not say a word to him, and directly had a showdown in the first sentence, saying that they had obtained the evidence of his violations and crimes. He now only needs to consider the question of whether to strive for meritorious service, and does not need to consider the question of whether he can get out of the country with his whole body, and the implication is that Li Guangming's fall is a foregone conclusion. And there is not much time left for him to make meritorious contributions, if his younger brother speaks before him, Li Guangming will not have any chance.
In fact, Li Guangming had predicted the situation before he came, knowing that the general trend had gone, and continuing to resist would only lead to a harsher blow. So I asked the comrades of the investigation team for a cigarette and confessed the real shareholders of Xintiandi, and everyone was shocked to hear it.
Wei Heping, secretary of the Kaijiang County Party Committee, Hu Zhongpei, deputy secretary of the county party committee and executive deputy county magistrate, and Zhou Ke, director of the Kaijiang County Local Taxation Bureau, are among them. This is not the highest-ranking official, the real big fish are Pang Wenhao, deputy head of Wanxia District and director of the Management Committee of the Economic Development Zone, and Zhang Mingquan, chairman of the CPPCC of Wanxia District.
The emergence of this latest situation shocked the Jiangzhou City CPC Committee, which held an emergency party committee meeting overnight to discuss how to deal with the corruption and discipline violations of a number of party and government leading cadres at the district and county levels. In the end, the meeting unanimously decided that no matter who was involved, no matter how extensive and deep the scope was, it would be strictly investigated to the end. One by one, one will be checked, and no corrupt element will be spared. The city party committee also asked all members of the investigation team to hand over their mobile phones and contact the city party committee through two designated landline telephones to report on the progress at any time.
On the premise of doing a good job of absolute confidentiality, Pang Wenhao, deputy head of Wanxia District, Zhang Mingquan, chairman of the CPPCC Wanxia District, Wei Heping, secretary of the Kaijiang County Party Committee, Hu Zhongpei, deputy secretary of the county party committee, and Zhou Ke, director of the Kaijiang County Local Taxation Bureau, were others. They were "invited" into the investigation team and controlled, and the investigation team carried out surprise interrogations overnight.
Early the next morning, a fax of a briefing on the investigation appeared on the desk of Tan Yalin, the party secretary of Jiangzhou. At the same time, the Jiangzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection announced the news of the fall of Pang Wenhao, Zhang Mingquan and others. In the afternoon of the same day, the Jiangzhou City Procuratorate announced the arrest of some of the officials and launched a case for investigation into their illegal and criminal acts.
For a time, public opinion was in an uproar, and local party and government officials colluded to form an offensive and defensive alliance. Use the power in your hands to find advantageous projects, and then implement monopolistic operations, providing them with protection in terms of policies and regulations, and make great profits. In the face of this new form of collective official corruption, the degree of harm is far greater than that of any other form of corruption. In this form of collective corruption, officials collude with each other and do their jobs. The harm of two corrupt officials often produces the effect that one plus one is greater than the sum of its parts, and what kind of unbreakable community of interests will be formed when so many officials with real power collude together?
If it weren't for the Jiangzhou Municipal Party Committee's unswerving determination and iron-fisted methods, it would have been almost impossible to overcome such a malignant tumor overnight. Just when everyone thought that the storm was going to pass and everything was calm, an even more explosive news was detonated, Pang Wenhao confessed to the news that Gao Gao had also bribed him, but he refused, and Pang Wenhao said that he had evidence to prove it.
Pang Wenhao immediately presented his evidence to the investigation team, and after reviewing the evidence, the investigation team believed that Gao Kang did indeed have the possibility of bribing Pang Wenhao, and it was necessary to investigate whether he had offered bribes.
As a result, on the morning of May 25, Gao Gao was taken away by the comrades of the investigation team and suspended from all his duties inside and outside the party. This news is tantamount to a bombshell, which has stirred up turbulent waves in Yunyang Town and even the entire Wanxia District. At this time, there were only five days before Ji Chengxi inspected the construction of the Three Gorges Dam and the reservoir area.
In order to avoid suspicion, the investigation team dispatched Lei Ming, director of the Jiangzhou City Procuratorate's Investigation Bureau for Job-related Crimes, and Zhang Hao, secretary of the Wanxia District Discipline Inspection Commission, to form a temporary two-person team to question Gao Kang. Lei Ming is also known for his tough work style, while Zhang Hao is meticulous, and the combination of the two can be said to complement each other.
And these two people have also done their homework in advance, and they have basically touched the high-pitched work, family and living situation, and mastered most of the facts. But when it came time to sit face-to-face with Gao Zheng, the two felt a little nervous. It's high-pitched and smiling, and there is no nervousness at all.
"Comrade Gao Kang, do you know why we came to you this time?" It was Lei Ming who broke the deadlock first and asked directly.
High-pitched and happy, said: "How do you know if you don't say it? ”
Lei Ming was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Someone reported that you tried to bribe him, what do you need to explain to the organization about this?" ”
"I'm bribing, what's the joke?" Gao Gao laughed even harder, "I still wish someone would send me some money to spend flowers, I'm a poor egg, give money to others to spend?" I'm not going to do this loss-making business. ”
Lei Ming frowned, raised his voice a little and said, "Comrade Gao Zheng, I hope you can take this conversation of the organization seriously. It is precisely in line with the principle of not wronging a good person and not letting go of a corrupt official that we came to you to implement the relevant facts. Therefore, please understand the importance of this conversation to you, and please also believe in the party and the organization, and honestly explain your own problems. Don't leave things to chance, we're not going to call you here without a certain certainty. ”
"My problem? Are you referring to me as a bribe? Gao Gao put away his smile and said seriously. I didn't even think about bribing anyone before I accidentally killed hostages, and now I say that I paid bribes, why should I? ”
"But there is evidence that you went to the bank to withdraw the money and handed it over to him yourself."
Gao Gao was at a loss for what to do.
"Let me remind you again, at around two o'clock in the afternoon on the 29th of last month, did you withdraw 20,000 yuan from the Construction Bank in Yunyang Town? After you took the money out, where did you take it and gave it to whom? We've all called up the surveillance video footage as proof, what do you need to say about that? ”
CCB...... 20,000 yuan ......" Gao Kang suddenly realized, "Didn't Pang Wenhao ask me to borrow money, and I went to the bank to get it and gave it to him?" What's the matter, he said I was bribing him? ”
"Why did he ask you to borrow money?" Lei Ming continued to question him as if he knew that Gao Gao would say this.
Pang Wenhao said that his brother-in-law asked him to borrow 20,000 yuan the day before, and he promised to give it to him the next day. As a result, the next day, when I went to the grassroots to inspect the work, I forgot my bank card in the office. I was afraid that my wife would be unhappy when I went back, so I asked me to borrow 20,000 yuan, saying that she would pay me back when I returned. He said in a high-pitched voice.
"But we have already asked Pang Wenhao's lover to understand the relevant situation, and his lover said that this kind of thing could not happen, because she has no brother at all."
"How do I know if his wife has a younger brother, he told me so, I'll tell you as it is." Gao Gao felt inexplicable, he and Pang Wenhao had no grievances in the past, but why did he suddenly jump out like a mad dog and bite himself?
Pang Wenhao's wife not only does not have a younger brother, but several cadres who went to the grassroots level with him to inspect that day confirmed that Pang Wenhao had taken 20,000 yuan from the district in the morning, saying that it was money for his daughter's tuition. How do you explain this? ”
"Hey! How do I know he has money on him? How did I know he would make up nonsense and ask me to borrow money? ”
"Are you saying that Pang Wenhao was playing tricks on you at that time, just to create the illusion that you were bribing him? Why? Lei Ming looked at Gao Gao with some meaning.
"How do I know why?"
"You have a vendetta with him?"
"No wow! I didn't know him before. ”
"Since you and him have no grievances in the past and no enmity in the near future, it doesn't make sense for him to design you for no reason!"
"It doesn't make sense, but why should I bribe him, what do I have to ask him for?"
"That's what you need to be honest with the organization!" Lei Ming said as he tapped his hand on the table.
"Shall I confess? Do I have any questions to explain? Gao Gao felt a special fire in his heart, and that stubborn temper was naturally revealed.
"Comrade Gao Zheng, I hope you must correct your mentality and don't have any luck mentality." There was a warning in the thunderous words.
"Fuck the luck mentality, Lao Tzu didn't make a mistake just didn't make a mistake, what do you love it!" Gao Gao was completely enraged at this time, and almost broke the table with a slap, shaking the four table legs.
"What is your attitude? Do you think you'll be able to get away with it? I tell you, dream! Lei Ming also lost his temper, and spoke in a high-pitched-for-tat.
"Lao Tzu is this attitude, I can't get used to pulling down. I also told you, now I want to sleep, I don't bother to pay attention to your group of neuropaths! ”
After speaking, he turned around and jumped onto the sofa behind him, hunched over and fell asleep with his buttocks outward, ignoring Lei Ming and Zhang Hao in the house.
