Yan Lian heard Zhou Jiqing say that he wanted to extend Ye Ming's detention time to three o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, but he did not propose further investigation measures, and asked a little anxiously: "Secretary Zhou, what about after twenty-four hours?" Now the situation of the task force is very complicated, and that Ye Ming is very stubborn. [No pop-ups] Even if he is detained for another twelve hours, he may not be able to make him confess! If he does not confess, it will be difficult for us to find evidence of his involvement in the case in such a short period of time. At three o'clock in the morning backstage, don't you still want to let him out! ”

Zhou Jiqing "hummed" again on the phone and said, "Yan Lian, you have to remember one sentence: it's easy to tie the tiger!" No matter what method is used, we must control Ye Ming in the task force, we must let him explain the problem of him covering up and helping Gong Zhichao, and we must also tell him his backstage and backers. That's our ultimate goal. If this goal is not achieved, all our efforts in the past few days have been in vain. ”

Speaking of this, he thought for a moment, and then said in an accentuated tone: "This afternoon, after you told me that Ye Ming had been summoned to the task force, I met with Comrade Hongda and Comrade Wang Hai respectively and informed them of the situation. They were all very happy that Ye Ming was brought to justice, and they all put it forward: The special case team must firmly grasp this opportunity, seize the time to interrogate Ye Ming, and strive to open a breakthrough from him as soon as possible, and find out all the ** officials involved in Gong Zhichao's gang one by one, and strive to catch them all. Therefore, I, Minister Xie, and Secretary-General Wang all have high hopes for you, and hope that you will lead the members of the task force to pry Ye Ming's mouth open as soon as possible and find out the big fish behind him as soon as possible. Of course, Governor Qin is also extremely concerned about this case, and has asked me twice in the past few days about this case and asked how you are doing. I said that you are a very capable person, and you are also a very principled and very positional person, and you will definitely eliminate all interference and make a complete breakthrough in this case. Governor Qin was very satisfied with this, and asked me to convey his thanks and condolences to you and the other comrades of your task force on my behalf. ”

Yan Lian knew that the "big fish" that Zhou Jiqing was talking about was referring to Li Runji, secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and heard him say that Governor Qin was also very concerned about this case, and asked Secretary Zhou to convey his greetings to himself and the task force on his behalf.

Zhou Jiqing continued: "As for what you just said about the lack of evidence and reasons for detaining Ye Ming, you don't have to worry about this. By tomorrow, you will see a lot of posts and reports on the Internet and news media about Ye Ming's issue. In these posts and reports, they will not only mention his bribery and ** issues, but also focus on exposing his relationship with the underworld boss Gong Zhichao, linking him to the 5.16 bloody case, and identifying him as a member of Gong Zhichao's gang, often exonerating Gong Zhichao's gang. Moreover, the post will also expose the backer behind Ye Ming without naming him, and the spearhead will be directed at the big fish behind him.

At that time, Ye Ming's question became a hot topic on the Internet. And now netizens hate public servants like Ye Ming who are connected with the underworld, and they also hate the children of official eunuchs who rely on the backstage and umbrella to do whatever they want. If netizens knew that Ye Ming was the yamen of a certain big leader of the provincial party committee, and had been taking advantage of him to provide shelter for the underworld leaders in Xinleng, they would definitely criticize him verbally and penally and form a strong public opinion pressure.

"Under this kind of pressure, even if Ye Ming does not have any confession, and there is no evidence to prove that Ye Ming has a problem involving gangsters, he will inevitably be placed on file for investigation, and he will inevitably be detained or arrested by shuanggui - because you should know very well that governments at all levels and departments, including our provincial party committee and the central government, attach great importance to online public opinion. Once a certain thing or person becomes a hot topic on the Internet, no one dares to easily stand up and speak for this person, and no one dares to easily exonerate him. Therefore, it is logical for your task force to take further measures against Ye Ming! ”

It turned out that just this afternoon, when Zhou Jiqing was discussing with Wang Hai how to dig out valuable clues from Ye Ming in order to bring down and stink Li Runji, Wang Hai told him: Li Botang of Xinleng Zhenxing Iron and Steel Company has arranged for someone to collect materials about Ye Ming's bribery, corruption, and crime, and is preparing to expose these materials on the Internet and the media. In order to do a good job in exposing the work, Li Botang also used his position as a provincial representative to invite some reporters from newspapers, periodicals, and television stations in Xinleng County who were covering the progress of the 5.** case to dinner, and distributed these materials to the reporters during the meal, asking them to report them publicly.

At the same time, Li Botang also told Wang Hai that he had organized a pen to write a few posts, accompanied by relevant photos and video materials, and was ready to hang three posts on Ye Ming's issue on major web portals, striving to create a sensational effect, so as to cooperate with the 5.16 task force's investigation of Ye Ming......

After listening to Wang Hai's introduction, Zhou Jiqing was very happy at that time, and repeatedly told Wang Hai that this method was good, and asked him to tell Li Botang: The post on the Internet must be hung up early tomorrow morning, and strive to create a sensational effect within a few hours to ensure that the next step of the investigation of Ye Ming can be carried out smoothly......

It is precisely because of this premise that Zhou Jiqing told Yan Lian on the phone at this moment that he must continue to detain Ye Ming for 12 hours, wait for tomorrow's public opinion hot spots, and then logically put Ye Ming in a shuanggui.

In the end, he told Yan Lian again: Tomorrow we must also increase the interrogation of Tao Yong, Bi Huafeng, Chen Guitian, Liang Tanghua and other four people, and remind them in a timely manner: Now that Ye Ming's matter has been exposed on the Internet and news media, Ye Ming has now become a rat for the holidays, and the whole country is a crusade. Therefore, you should no longer have any illusions about him, and honestly explain all the problems related to Ye Ming, and strive to make meritorious service and atone for your crimes......

After receiving Zhou Jiqing's instructions, Yan Lian immediately convened the nine members of the task force and held another meeting to convey Secretary Zhou's instructions.

After Lu Cheng, Deputy Director Wang and others heard Yan Lian say that Secretary Zhou instructed to continue to detain Ye Ming for 12 hours, although they also expected this result, the hot-tempered Lu Cheng couldn't help but explode.

As soon as Yan Lian finished announcing Secretary Zhou Jiqing's instructions, Lu Cheng stood up with a blushing face and said angrily: "Secretary Yan, I strongly protest against your behavior of ignoring the opinions of the majority of comrades in the task force and making decisions arbitrarily and arbitrarily by individuals!" At the same time, I also announce: In view of the fact that the 5.16 task force has now deviated from the original intention of its establishment and has degenerated into a tool for a few people to attack opponents, I have decided to officially withdraw from the 5.16 task force from now on. ”
