Zhou Qingzhu saw that Feng Liliang and Xu Tailai criticized him for his sloppy handling of the case on the grounds that the recording evidence needed to be identified, and he couldn't help but feel angry, and retorted with a black face: "Secretary Xu, Minister Feng, is it interesting for you to find fault like this?" Regardless of whether these two recordings are true or not, it is always true that Gu Xin and others accepted Xia Jiao's red envelope gifts! Although they later returned it to Xia Jiao together, they did not refuse the red envelope gifts on the spot, nor did they hand them over to the discipline inspection department of the unit, but returned them after nearly two months, which has constituted a violation of discipline. Moreover, Gu Xin also harassed and molested Xia Jiao, which seriously violated party discipline. On the basis of these facts, the county discipline inspection commission has sufficient reasons to take measures to file a case against them. ”

Zhong Yin kept rubbing the glass teacup in his hand, half-squinting to listen to Feng Liliang and Xu Tailai debating with Zhou Qingzhu, and then interjected: "Comrade Qingzhu, I used to work in the discipline inspection and supervision department, and I am relatively clear about the procedures and standards for filing cases by the Discipline Inspection Commission. Article 16 of the "Regulations on Case Inspection Work" stipulates: "Where a report, accusation, or violation of discipline by a Party member or Party organization is discovered after preliminary verification, it is found that there is a violation of discipline and it is necessary to pursue Party discipline responsibility, the case filing formalities shall be handled in accordance with the prescribed authority and procedures."

"My understanding of this provision is that the fact that Party members and Party organizations have violated discipline is a prerequisite for the Commission for Discipline Inspection to file a case; The need to investigate and hold party discipline accountable for violators is a legal condition for the Discipline Inspection Commission to file a case. The above two conditions are indispensable. The key to deciding whether to file a case or not is to see whether the facts of violation of discipline exist, whether the evidence is sufficient and reliable, and whether it is necessary to investigate the responsibility of party discipline -- my understanding is not wrong! ”

Zhou Qingzhu nodded and said: "County Magistrate Zhong, your memory and understanding are not wrong, 'there are facts of violation of discipline' and 'the need to investigate the responsibility of party discipline for violators' are indeed the two prerequisites for the Commission for Discipline Inspection to file a case." I admire you very much. ”

Zhong Yin let out a "hmm" and said in his usual slow, subdued tone: "Comrade Qingzhu, regarding the facts of Gu Xin's disciplinary violations, you just listened to the whistleblower Xia Jiao's words and said that they had repeatedly solicited and accepted bribes, but Gu Xin and they never admitted this, right?" Moreover, Gu Xin and the others received red envelopes and gifts, all of which were handled by Liu Xicai, and Xia Jiao didn't personally send them money, right? ”

Zhou Qingzhu had no choice but to nod and say: "That's right, Xia Jiao's report materials said that the red envelope gifts given to Gu Xin and several deputy directors, as well as Gao Biao and others, were all sent out by Liu Xicai under his instructions, and she herself did not personally send red envelopes to Gu Xin and them." ”

Zhong Yin said "um" again and said: "According to the facts of the case you just stated, the person who finally returned the money to Xia Jiao was also Liu Xicai, then, the question arises: if Liu Xicai did not hand over the money sent by Xia Jiao to Gu Xin and others, but accepted the red envelope gifts himself, and finally saw that the situation was not right, and returned all the money to Xia Jiao, do you think this is possible?" ”

Zhou Qingzhu almost jumped up, blushing and shouting, "This is absolutely impossible!" It is impossible for Liu Xicai to be so bold! ”

Feng Liliang immediately retorted: "Secretary Zhou, how is this impossible? I have seen many such cases: When some government clerks or petty officials extort money from service recipients, they often use the excuse that they want to send money to the leader, and ask the service recipient to hand over the money to him, and then take advantage of the psychology of the blackmailed person who does not dare to ask whether the leader has received the money, and swallow all the money to himself. Therefore, County Magistrate Zhong is not guessing out of thin air, his suspicions are well-founded, Liu Xicai is likely to ask Xia Jiao for red envelopes in the name of Gu Xin and others, but he did not give the money to Gu Xin and others. Otherwise, why did he return the money alone when he returned the money in the end? Why didn't Gu Xin and them go to Xia Jiao to retreat by themselves? ”

It was only at this time that Zhou Qingzhu reacted: Zhong Yin, Feng Liliang, and Xu Tailai adopted the strategy of "abandoning the pawn to protect the car", wanting to put all the bribery problems of Gu Xin and others on Liu Xicai alone, and sacrifice Liu Xicai alone to protect Gu Xin and four or five people......

Xu Tailai also followed Feng Liliang's train of thought and said: "Comrade Qingzhu, if according to the facts and evidence, except for Liu Xicai who personally accepted Xia Jiao's red envelope gift, Gu Xin and several other cadres who were investigated by you did not personally accept Xia Jiao's money, and they themselves did not admit to receiving money. In this case, if they are to be investigated, the Commission for Discipline Inspection must find conclusive evidence that they accepted red envelope gifts, but you obviously do not have this evidence. Therefore, my suggestion is: let Gu Xin and them go home for the time being, and do not take shuanggui measures against them. Isn't it safer for your Commission for Discipline Inspection to continue to look for evidence, or you can ask them to cooperate with your investigation at any time? ”

Zhou Qingzhu turned his head to look at Ye Ming, and saw him sitting there with a calm face, his eyes swept over the faces of Zhong Yin, Xu Tailai, and Feng Liliang, but he never said a word, and he didn't know what he thought, so he asked, "Secretary Ye, what is your opinion?" ”

Ye Ming didn't immediately answer Zhou Qingzhu's words, frowned and thought for a while, then stood up and said: "Comrade Qingzhu, you should follow the advice of County Magistrate Zhong and Lao Xu and Lao Feng, and let Gu Xin and them go home first, but Liu Xicai must be shuanggui, and he must truthfully explain the problem." After you go back, you will hold a standing committee to study the plan for investigating and punishing Liu Xicai, and report the decision to file a case and investigate Liu Xicai, and we will study it again tomorrow. Meeting! ”

After walking out of the conference room, Zhou Qingzhu followed Ye Ming back to the secretary's office, closed the door, and asked a little anxiously: "Secretary Ye, why don't you fight with reason at the meeting?" Now put Gu Xin and them home, if they form an offensive and defensive alliance and destroy relevant evidence, how will they be investigated and punished in the future? ”

Ye Ming sneered and said, "They can't destroy any evidence, the evidence is all in Liu Xicai!" I guess that Liu Xicai can't be so stupid, when he changes hands and sends money to Gu Xin and them, he will definitely leave a way back for himself to avoid being unclear when the time comes. Zhong Yin and the others now want to put all the blame on Liu Xicai, but it is actually a very stupid gambling behavior, which is to push Liu Xicai to their opposite, which is tantamount to cocooning themselves. As long as you intensify the scrutiny of Liu Xicai and break through his psychological defense line as soon as possible, this case will have a turnaround, and Gu Xin and them will not be able to escape justice.

"I'll tell you a strategy: after the official shuanggui Liu Xicai, you can ask the case-handling staff to remind him, intentionally or unintentionally, that Gu Xin and they are now putting all the blame on him, and he has to bear the bribe of nearly 50,000 yuan alone. In this case, it will definitely anger Liu Xicai, and maybe he will provide you with relevant evidence to prove that he has already given Gu Xin and the others the red envelope gift money that Xia Jiao entrusted him to. Even if he can't provide relevant evidence, he will state all the facts clearly, and confront Gu Xin and others on the spot to prove that they did receive money. At that time, Gu Xin and the others couldn't tell if they wanted to quibble! ”
