Chapter 247: The Essence and the Vital Point
When Secretary Lu heard Lu Nianzi's last few words, his heart was full of doubts, and he wanted to ask her what was going on, but he was afraid that she would not be able to speak well in front of Li Jingya, so he muttered for a while and said, "Okay, I'll come over after work at half past five in the afternoon, have a meal together, and listen to your important situation." However, I also interviewed a few people in the evening, so I can't stay too long, and you'd better keep it short and try to finish eating and talking within an hour. ”
After hanging up Lu Nianzi's phone, Secretary Lu was about to call Xu Lizhong's phone and ask Chen Mengqi about the situation, but saw that he happened to open the door and walked in, and reported: "Chief, Xiao Ye's judgment is very accurate: just now I asked a friend of the M City Public Security Bureau to inquire about the progress of Chen Mengqi's case. The friend told me that as soon as Chen Mengqi entered, she happily admitted that she had concealed the money and transferred it to Fuxin Group, and told the case-handling staff that she was willing to bear all the responsibility and had nothing to do with anyone else.
Later, the investigators took out the evidence that Ye Ming transferred money in the bank and asked her what was going on? Why did Ye Ming have to transfer this money? Chen Mengqi was not flustered at all, saying that because she was stimulated, her head was sometimes sober and sometimes confused, and she was worried that there would be problems when transferring money, so she handed over her ID card to Ye Ming and asked him to transfer the money to Fuxin Group instead of her, and repeatedly emphasized that Ye Ming was completely unclear about the origin of the money, and it was purely a favor for her, so he had nothing to do with this matter at all. ”
Secretary Lu was still a little skeptical that Chen Mengqi would take responsibility for Ye Ming, but now when he heard Xu Lizhong say that she not only took all the blame on herself without hesitation, but also did everything possible to defend Ye Ming, he couldn't help but be moved, sighed and said: "Lizhong, it seems that this is really a good girl, Ye Ming's judgment of her is not wrong at all." Such a girl who is responsible, courageous, and willing to give everything for the people she loves is becoming more and more rare now.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that Ye Ming had discussed with Xiao Zhao of Fuxin Group, saying that the money was returned by Jinqiao Group to Fuxin Group. So, she must have admitted that the money was criminal property that she had hidden and transferred, and it would be a little difficult to rescue her now. ”
Xu Lizhong nodded and said: "That's true, according to my friend, Chen Mengqi not only admitted that the money was her hidden property, but also confessed that the 200 million yuan was saved for her by Gong Zhichao, who had been shot." The source of the money was taken by her father Chen Yuanqiao from investors at a high interest rate in Xinleng's investment company, which can be regarded as an illegal fundraising. However, this money was once embezzled by a company manager named Luo Shaoming, and it was Gong Zhichao who led someone to recover it. Therefore, no matter which aspect you say, 200 million yuan can indeed be regarded as illegal funds. ”
Secretary Lu thought for a while, nodded and said: "This girl surnamed Chen is very smart, she knows that the source of this money will definitely be investigated by the public security organs, so she simply admitted that Gong Zhichao transferred it to her, so as not to bring out Ye Ming when others are tracking down the origin of this money, she can be regarded as well-intentioned." ”
Xu Lizhong took the opportunity to say: "Chief, Chen Mengqi is indeed a good girl, she would rather go to prison herself than involve Xiao Ye, which shows her deep affection for Xiao Ye." If you can, you should still call Secretary Guo and ask him to say hello to the M City Public Security Bureau, try not to characterize Chen Mengqi as money laundering or concealing criminal property, and at most confiscate the 200 million yuan or repay the arrears of those fundraisers. ”
Secretary Lu squinted and thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Lizhong, I still can't fight this greeting." First of all, Chen Mengqi herself has already pleaded guilty, and if she forcibly clears her name, it will attract criticism and suspicion; Secondly, this matter involved Ye Ming, and he was targeted by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, if Guo Guangwei went to say hello, it might be self-defeating and attract the attention of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection again. Therefore, it is better to be still than to be motionless now, and let Xiao Chen bear the responsibility. When it's time to transfer her to the procuratorate for prosecution, you can go to Guo Guangwei again, ask the procuratorate to take care of her as much as possible, and suggest that the court reduce her punishment. ”
Xu Lizhong understood Secretary Lu's worries, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do what you instructed!" ”
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Secretary Lu had just walked into the office after a meeting, and Xu Lizhong hurriedly walked in and said, "Chief, Xiao Ye is causing trouble again." I just heard Bai Jie, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, say that at 11 o'clock at noon, when Xiao Ye was doing the work of persuading those petitioning cadres in Beishan County to return at the gate of the provincial party committee, for some unknown reason, he suddenly asked Qi Tong, director of the Yuhe District Public Security Bureau, who was maintaining order at the scene, to order the arrest of people, and arrested the three petitioners to the district public security bureau on the spot.
I don't know who reported this matter to Secretary Wang Hao, and Secretary Wang was furious, saying that Ye Ming was deliberately retaliating against the whistleblower, and seriously violated the principles and procedures of the local party committee and government in handling letters and visits, which was simply lawless. Therefore, he planned to set up an investigation team, headed by Tan Yun, director of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection's Party Style and Government Supervision Office, to conduct a preliminary verification of Ye Ming's violation of discipline by starting with the clues of several problems reported by the petitioning cadres in Beishan. Once it is verified that those problems really exist, a case will be opened against him for review. ”
When Secretary Lu heard that Ye Ming had ordered the arrest of three petitioners, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he said angrily: "Why is this unsuccessful thing so frizzy and reckless? He knew that someone was aiming at him with a gun, but he still wanted to hit the muzzle of the gun himself, didn't he seek his own death? The most important thing he should do is to use all means to persuade those petitioners in Beishan to return and try to eliminate the negative impact on him. It's good that he shook the prestige of the secretary of the county party committee, and ordered the arrest of people if he didn't agree with him. Isn't this giving authority? If I were Wang Hao, I would also suspect that he was deliberately retaliating against the person who reported him, and I would also investigate him! ”
After venting his anger, Secretary Lu took a breath and asked Xu Lizhong: "Did you ask Ye Ming the reason for arresting people?" Why is he so impulsive? ”
Xu Lizhong replied cautiously: "I called Xiao Ye just now, and he explained: The funds raised by those people in Jinqiao Group were all placed in the hands of a third party, and the IOUs and IOUs were also issued by a third party, so they had no right to collect debts from Chen Mengqi, let alone have no reason to petition the provincial party committee and provincial government. Moreover, before arresting them, he had repeatedly done the work of these people, and successfully persuaded nine petitioners to return, only these three people were stubborn and insisted on petitioning to the end, so he could not bear it anymore, so he had to suggest that the police of the Municipal Public Security Bureau arrest people. ”
Secretary Lu said angrily: "He is short-sighted and can't see the essence and key point of this matter. Those people must have been instigated behind the petition. They collect debts only one reason, and not the main one. Their real purpose is to make a big deal in the name of petitioning, attract the attention of the provincial party committee and the provincial discipline inspection commission, and then take the opportunity to make Ye Ming stink and bring down. Ye Ming is doing this now, and he just fell into the trap of those people. ”
