As soon as Zhou Jiqing dialed Yan Lian's words, he heard him say happily on the phone: "Secretary Zhou, Ye Ming's criminal detention procedures have been completed, and he can be sent to the detention center tomorrow morning." In addition, we are also working overtime to interrogate Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua, hoping to make a breakthrough tomorrow. As long as Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua break through, then we will be able to know that the leader in the province instructed them, and we can dig out the backers and backstage behind them......"

As soon as he said this, Zhou Jiqing impatiently interrupted him and said, "Yan Lian, now I order you: immediately lift the criminal detention measures against Ye Ming, lift the arrest of Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua, and release them all. At the same time, your task force also wants to sincerely apologize to the three of them, and tell them: This is what I mean as the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, just say that you have credulously believed other people's words and Internet rumors, and caused a misunderstanding, please forgive them -- do you understand what I mean? ”

Yan Lian exclaimed "ah" on the other side of the phone, and asked in an incredulous tone, "Secretary Zhou, what's going on?" You want us to release Ye Ming, Chen Guitian, and Liang Tanghua now? And apologize to them? Isn't our goal Ye Ming? Why do you have to apologize to him now? ”

Zhou Jiqing was furious when he heard Yan Lian's questioning tone, and he wanted to scold him, but after thinking about it, he was already in a precarious state, and there was no need to offend Yan Lian, a person who had always followed him loyally.

So, he barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and explained in a calm tone as much as possible: "That's right: Yesterday afternoon, Secretary Lu of the Provincial Party Committee convened a meeting of all the Standing Committee members to discuss the issue of the Xinleng 5.** case. At the meeting, Secretary Lu specifically talked about the problems of Ye Ming, Chen Guitian, and Liang Tanghua. Especially about Comrade Ye Ming, Secretary Lu has learned through some channels that his so-called bribery, ** and other issues do not exist and there is no evidence.

Moreover, Secretary Lu also said: Now Gong Zhichao, the main suspect in the Xinleng 5.** case, is still at large and has not been brought to justice at all. Now, based on some people's speculation and rumors on the Internet, the special case group has determined that Ye Ming is related to Gong Zhichao's gang and that he has provided shelter to Gong Zhichao, which violates the basic principle of 'taking facts as the basis and the law as the criterion' in handling cases. Therefore, in accordance with the rule of law concept of 'no doubt of guilt', Ye Ming's detention should be released as soon as possible.

"As for Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua, they were originally linked to Ye Ming's affairs. If the task force could not prove that Ye Ming had entrusted them to help Gong Zhichao, then the decision they made to lift the investigation of Gong Zhichao and revoke the task force was a correct choice based on the specific circumstances at the time, and there was no problem of dereliction of duty and cover-up.

The above are the main points put forward by Secretary Lu at yesterday's meeting. Although, yesterday's meeting did not make any concrete decisions. However, after careful consideration and scrutiny, I feel that Secretary Lu's analysis is far-sighted, reasonable, and well-founded, fully embodies the principle of seeking truth from facts, and also fully takes into account the balanced relationship between legal reason and reasonableness, which is of very important guiding significance for us to further handle the 5.16 case.

"Therefore, I asked you to release Ye Ming, Chen Guitian, and Liang Tanghua today, which is not only to implement Secretary Lu's important instructions, but also an important step for us to correct the wrong direction of handling the case and further do a good job in the investigation of the 5.** case under the principle of law and regulations. I hope that you will convey my above-mentioned opinions to Comrade He Zhi and other comrades of the special case group, and complete the formalities for the release of Ye Ming and the other three as soon as possible in accordance with my just opinions. ”

Zhou Jiqing's tirade not only did not strictly practice the law, but made him even more confused.

However, Yan Lian still understands one thing: Secretary Lu of the Provincial Party Committee has begun to pay attention to Xinleng's case, and has also begun to pay attention to their task force. Moreover, judging from Zhou Jiqing's words, releasing Ye Ming and others is exactly what Secretary Lu meant.

Although, Yan Lian was still a little dissatisfied with Zhou Jiqing's decision. However, when he knew that Secretary Lu had begun to pay attention to this case and Ye Ming, he was still a little afraid in his heart: after all, the criminal detention measures taken by the special case team against Ye Ming did not have solid and sufficient evidence, and the purpose was nothing more than to obtain clues about Li Runji's suspected violations of discipline and law through interrogation of Ye Ming. Now that Secretary Lu has been alerted, he has also convened a special Standing Committee to discuss this issue and give specific instructions. Then, the task force's desire to blame Secretary Li Runji is afraid that it will come to naught......

So, Yan Lian had no choice but to muttered reluctantly: "Secretary Zhou, since you have given this instruction, and it is also Secretary Lu's intention, then I will convene a meeting of the task force later, and immediately lift Ye Ming's criminal detention measures, and at the same time lift Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua's arrest measures." ”

After Zhou Jiqing gave the order to Yan Lian, he walked around the office a few more times, raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, it was a quarter past ten in the evening. So, he walked to the window, opened the curtains, and glanced at Li Yunji's office on the fourth floor of Building No. 4 opposite.

"Secretary Li? I'm Zhou Jiqing. Are you busy right now? ”

Unconsciously, Zhou Jiqing changed his name to Secretary Li, not as "Comrade Runji" as before, but respectfully called him "Secretary Li", putting himself in a relatively low posture.

Secretary Li Runji paused slightly on the phone, and then said in a relatively cold tone: "It's Comrade Jiqing!" There is indeed something going on tonight, and I was just reading a few specific case files, all of which were reported by the following departments, and I was anxious to give instructions to deal with them...... By the way, is there something wrong with Comrade Jiqing? ”

Zhou Jiqing cautiously said: "Secretary Li, it's like this: Just now I called Yan Lian, the head of the Xinleng 5.16 task force, and conveyed to the task force the spirit of Secretary Lu's instructions on this case at the Standing Committee yesterday, and clearly asked them to immediately lift the criminal detention measures against Comrade Ye Ming, and at the same time lift the arrest measures against Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua. Secretary Li, you are in charge of discipline inspection work, so I think this matter must be reported to you first. If you're free right now, I'd like to come over and talk to you about it in detail, and then talk about something else. ”

Secretary Li already knew that Secretary Lu had talked to Zhou Jiqing, and he also knew that the purpose of his current search for himself was to show favor to himself, and wanted him, the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, who had mastered his violations of law and discipline, to conceal it for him.

Therefore, he replied very simply: "Comrade Jiqing, I really don't have time right now. If there's anything, we'll talk about it tomorrow! ”
