The residence that Ye Ming bought in the provincial capital is in the "Jinsha Mingyuan" community two kilometers east of the provincial party committee compound, while the "Sanyou Express Hotel" is about two kilometers west of the provincial party committee compound. Therefore, when Ye Ming took a taxi to the hotel, he had to pass by the provincial party committee compound on the way.

When the taxi drove past the gate of the provincial party committee compound, Ye Ming asked the taxi driver to slow down, and then looked out through the window, and couldn't help but be shocked: I saw that a large group of policemen had surrounded more than a dozen petitioners, and a tall man who he was very familiar with was standing in the innermost part of the police encirclement, shouting at those petitioners.

This tall man is Qi Tong, the former director of the Daxing Development Zone Public Security Bureau, the current deputy director of the M City Public Security Bureau and the director of the Yuhe District Public Security Bureau.

Four years ago, when Ye Ming was studying at the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee, he had a serious conflict with Yan Changgeng, the deputy head of the Daxing Development Zone, who was also studying at the Party School at the time.

Since then, Qi Tong, who knows Ye Ming's background well, has begun to try his best to get close to him, often inviting Ye Ming to the Public Security Bureau of the Development Zone to "inspect", or calling him to drink tea, drink or sing. Ye Ming didn't dare to slack off on a real power figure like him, and invited him back from time to time, or took him to meet Guo Guangwei, Qingtao, Qiu Wangxi and other leaders, and the relationship between the two became closer and closer.

In July last year, under Ye Ming's strong recommendation, Guo Guangwei personally nominated him, and Qingtao arranged for the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee to inspect and successfully promoted Qi Tong to the deputy director of the M City Public Security Bureau and the director of the Yuhe District Public Security Bureau.

Because Yuhe District is the seat of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, its status is particularly important, so the director of the District Public Security Bureau is concurrently served by the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Qi Tong was very satisfied with this decision, and he was also very grateful to Ye Ming, who played a key role in his promotion.

After Chen Mengqi was arrested by the M City Public Security Bureau, Ye Ming originally wanted to find Qi Tong and ask him to help talk to Chen Mengqi, but then after thinking about it carefully, Qi Tong's current work focus is on the Yuhe District Public Security Bureau, and he is only a deputy director in the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and he has just been promoted for less than a year, so it is estimated that he will not be of much help. What's more, Chen Mengqi's case is now being targeted by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and even Guo Guangwei does not dare to interfere, if he rashly asks Qi Tong for help, it will definitely make him very embarrassed. So, after weighing it for a long time, he still didn't call Qitong......

At this moment, when I saw that Qi Tong personally led the team and mobilized the police to surround those petitioners, I couldn't help but be surprised: Under normal circumstances, in order not to intensify the contradictions and not to cause major mass incidents, the Provincial Bureau of Letters and Visits or the Provincial Party Committee Office notified the local government to which the petitioners belonged to the petitioners, asking them to come and do the work of persuading them to return as soon as possible, and to try to appease the emotions of the petitioners, and rarely mobilized the local police force to forcibly expel them.

So, he hurriedly asked the taxi driver to stop, jumped out of the car after paying the fare, walked to Qi Tong's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Director Qi, are you on official business?" ”

Qi Tong was scolding those petitioners with his fists and sleeves, and after being patted on the shoulder by Ye Ming, he turned back suddenly, and when he saw that it was Ye Ming who patted his shoulder, his face was immediately full of smiles, and he took Ye Ming's hand, shaking it affectionately, and said, "Brother, you are also here to do the work of persuading returnees, right?" Why didn't I see your group of petitioners in Beishan County? ”

Ye Ming pulled him aside and said with a wry smile: "Director Qi, the spearhead of our group of petitioners in Beishan is aimed at me, just now they have been persuaded away by our county magistrate Yu and others, and I am about to negotiate with them!" ”

Qi Tong only knew that those petitioners were here to ask for illegal fund-raising funds from Jinqiao Group, but he didn't know that those petitioners in Beishan County were targeting Ye Ming, so after hearing Ye Ming's words, his eyes widened in surprise, and he hurriedly asked what was going on.

Ye Ming briefly talked about Chen Mengqi's 200 million funds, and said that Chen Mengqi has now been arrested by the Economic Investigation Detachment of the M City Public Security Bureau, and he still doesn't know what the situation is.

After Qi Tong heard what happened, he complained: "Brother, why didn't you call me earlier?" I've been busy with the precinct affairs, and I don't know much about what's going on in the city bureau. However, if you had called me earlier, I could have gone to the leader of the Economic Investigation Detachment and asked them to take care of that Ms. Chen Mengqi! At the very least, let them be careful not to burn the fire on you during the interrogation. Although I have just been promoted to deputy director, I have been mixed in the M City Public Security Bureau for more than 20 years, and I still have this connection. ”

Ye Ming shook his head and said, "Director Qi, this matter is complicated, it involves many people and things, and it is targeted by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, so I don't dare to ask for help easily." I have received your wishes, and at the same time I want to ask you for a favor: Now that Chen Mengqi is being detained in your city bureau, if it is convenient, please find the leaders of the economic investigation detachment, ask them to take proper care of her in life, and not to intimidate her during interrogation. She's relatively timid, and she's never experienced anything like this, so I'm afraid she won't be able to stand it. ”

Qi Tong agreed: "Brother, this is a small matter, after I solve these dozen troublemakers, I will immediately rush to the economic investigation detachment, and at noon and evening I will personally buy food and send it to Ms. Chen to eat, so that they can arrange a better detention room for her to rest." Don't worry, as long as I say it, the person handling the case will not embarrass her. ”

Ye Ming thanked him again, and then asked a little strangely: "Director Qi, it seems that you are going to take measures against these petitioners, is this with the permission of your superiors?" I have the impression that the police generally do not use police force to force petitioners to leave. ”

Qi Tong said angrily: "These people are no longer ordinary petitioners, but unreasonable illegal gathering troublemakers. Yesterday, they gathered around the gate of the provincial party committee and the provincial government for a day, and their appeal at that time was to ask the government to urge the person in charge of the former Jinqiao Group to take out the hidden property of 200 million yuan to repay the debts owed to them by the Jinqiao Group. This appeal seemed to be legitimate, so when our police officers arrived at the scene, they withdrew without taking any measures, and asked the staff of the Letters and Visits Bureau to explain and persuade them.

"However, after investigation yesterday afternoon, we found that most of the IOUs and IOUs in the hands of these so-called 'creditors' who came to petition to collect debts were not issued by the finance department of Jinqiao Group, the chairman and the general manager, but some IOUs or IOUs from people who did not work in Jinqiao Group. For example, the IOUs in the hands of the dozen or so creditors in your Beishan County were all issued to them by a person named She Chuqing; The IOUs of those creditors in Xinleng County were all issued to them by a person named Chen Yuanshan; The IOU of the creditor of City M was issued by a person named Li Tao.

"Later, we contacted the people of the Jinqiao Group's illegal fund-raising case task force three years ago, and learned the reason why these people did not want to return the fund-raising funds that year: because the IOUs or IOUs in their hands were not issued by the Jinqiao Group's finance department, the chairman and the general manager, and were determined by the task force to have nothing to do with the debts of Jinqiao Group. Although these people argued that She Chuqing, Chen Yuanshan, and Chen Yuanxi were all relatives of Chen Yuanqiao, they lent money to these three people at that time, and verbally made it clear that they were lending to Jinqiao Group. However, because there was no relevant evidence to support it, the task force did not make any determinations. Therefore, it is illegal for them to petition again to collect debts now! ”
