Chapter 61 The Case of Embezzlement
Chongqing District Procuratorate. Prosecutors are working through the night to investigate a major corruption case.
Chen Zikun, an active army general and member of the Central Supervisory Commission, came to visit and was invited in by the staff, and the prosecutor in charge of handling the case stood on the high steps to greet him.
"General Chen came here at night, I don't know what you are doing?" The prosecutor asked.
Chen Zikun asked-for-tat: "Your hall has arrested my people, can't I come to visit?" Besides, I'm the chairman of the bereavement benefit committee, so it's good that something is coming at me. ”
The prosecutor smiled sadly: "General Chen is a cheerful person, but it has saved us a lot of trouble, my name is Li Huating, I am the prosecutor in charge of this case, I have heard of General Chen's name, I can see it today, it is worthy of the name, fortunately, fortunately." ”
The two shook hands, and Li Huating's hands were pale and cold, like zombies.
Chen Zikun asked to see Liu Ting, but Li Huating did not refuse, and called a subordinate to arrange: "Take General Chen to the detention room." ”
The subordinate hesitated: "According to the regulations, you are not allowed to bring firearms into the detention room. ”
Li Huating said: "This is a rule, I'm sorry General Chen." ”
Chen Zikun said: "If it is a rule, then it must be followed." As he spoke, he took out his gun and handed it to the staff along with the holster, and then entered the detention cell.
The detention room of the procuratorate is a small and cold room, and when I opened the door, I saw Liu Ting curled up in the corner with handcuffs, there was only a wooden bench in the room, the wind was howling outside, the snow was flying, and the water inside was dripping into ice, and the environment was extremely bad.
"Open the handcuffs." Chen Zikun said lightly.
"...... according to regulations"
"I told you to open the handcuffs!"
"Yes."
The staff opened the handcuffs and quietly retreated.
Chen Zikun helped Liu Ting up, didn't say anything, first took her in his arms, Liu Ting lost a lot of weight, and her hard work day and night made her tired, skinny, only a pair of eyes were still shining.
"Don't worry about me, every account is clear and impeccable, they arrested me to deal with you, don't be fooled." Liu Ting said in a low voice.
Chen Zikun nodded: "I understand." ”
Liu Ting said: "You don't understand, these are all traps, they deliberately locked me up here, just to force you to be mad, if I guessed correctly, the reporter they arranged is nearby, and all your outrageous behavior will appear in tomorrow's newspaper, so, don't lose your temper, and don't try to bribe." ”
Chen Zikun said: "Can I sit idly by? ”
Liu Ting said: "That's all their tricks, as long as you can calm down, we can turn evil into good fortune, it's okay, I'm not cold, I'm usually very busy, it's rare to be idle, just take this opportunity to rest and rest your brain." ”
Chen Zikun said: "I am calm, I will not leave tonight, I will accompany you here." ”
Five minutes later, the staff came to urge Chen Zikun to leave, and when they learned that he was going to stay in the detention room, they hurriedly reported to the prosecutor. ”
Chen Zikun said: "I am the chairman of the committee, if there is really corruption, I can't escape the blame, it is better to stay here and make my words clear before leaving." ”
Li Huating smiled sadly: "If General Chen really wants to stay, I don't object to it, but you can't be in the same room." ”
"Why?"
"Hmph, General Chen himself understands that the co-defendants will collude together, of course, not about you, just to say that this is the case in general." Li Huating narrowed his eyes and hid a knife in his smile.
Chen Zikun felt that her hair was about to stand up, Liu Ting worked tirelessly, busy for the families of the martyrs and wounded soldiers, and the whole person lost weight twice, saying that she embezzled public funds, it was simply a reversal of black and white, there were not no people who embezzled public funds, all of them lived in the temple, and the procuratorate did not catch those big fish, but became an accomplice of the powerful to attack the innocent, which really made him unbearable.
But he held back and said, "Okay, you can find me another cell." ”
Li Huating said: "Come on, help General Chen arrange a room." ”
Chen Zikun took off his coat and draped it on Liu Ting, and said: "Don't be afraid, there is justice in the world, and when things come to light, I will call those young people better than dead!" ”
After that, he glanced at Li Huating coldly.
Li Huating turned a blind eye and said: "General Chen, let's say in advance, you are a member of the Central Committee and a member of the Supervisory Committee, according to the law, the procuratorate cannot be detained, and your stay is completely voluntary, and it has nothing to do with us." ”
Chen Zikun stiffened and said, "That's nature. ”
The local prosecutor's office didn't dare to embarrass him, and arranged a comfortable duty room for him, Chen Zikun didn't sleep all night and thought a lot.
The next morning, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old servant came in with breakfast, winced at him, and Chen Zikun said, "Is there something wrong?" ”
The little servant said: "My father died on the battlefield of Songhu, without Aunt Liu's care, our whole family would not live today, we all know that she was wronged, you can rest assured, Auntie will not suffer, this is what she asked me to hand over to you." ”
As he spoke, he took out a note and handed it over, on which was clearly Liu Ting's handwriting: "Justice is not in the law, but in the hearts of the people." ”
Chen Zikun thought for a while, looked at the little servant, and suddenly realized that it was useless to count on the normal legal process, and it was necessary to mobilize public opinion and win the support of the people in order to redress the grievances.
There was a light snow last night, and it was all white outside, and outside the procuratorial hall, there were four or five hundred people kneeling densely, mostly old and weak, women and children, and wounded soldiers on crutches and gauze on their faces.
The procuratorate was in a panic, they had never seen such a big battle, and when they asked, they found out that these people were all testifying for Secretary General Liu, saying that Liu Ting had no corruption, and asked the procuratorate to be aware of everything and not let go of the framed.
Li Huating came forward to reassure: "Don't be deceived by sluts, besieging government organs is a crime, as for whether Secretary-General Liu has embezzled public funds, we have conclusive evidence, and we will never wronged good people......
Suddenly, a snow ball smashed into the face, and in the middle of the door, a stone was breaded in it, and Li Huating's face was full of flowers, and a wounded soldier below scolded in a Shandong accent: "Beat you a corrupt official, if Bao Longtu is reincarnated, you must be beaten with a dog's head!" ”
Li Huating's nose was bleeding, Empress Cang retreated, and the procuratorate was no better than the police station, and there was no armed force, so he could only call the gendarmerie and the police station in a frustrated manner, and ask them to send someone to suppress it.
The prosecutor's office was in a crowded area of government offices, and soon a large number of police and gendarmes arrived at the scene, sirens blaring and batons waving indiscriminately, dispersing the crowd, leaving only crutches and rotten shoes on the floor.
Chen Zikun saw all this scene.
Yao Yilei and Jian Bing brought reporters, lawyers, accountants, and a heavyweight to the procuratorate's office, and Li Huating and others saw the supervision dean Yu Youren come forward, panicked out to greet them, greeted them carefully, invited everyone to the reception room, and introduced the case.
Yao Yilei said: "Liu Ting is my sister, I know very well her personality, today Ren Gong is here, let's make it clear, although the bereaved family pension committee is set up by the government, but over the years the allocation is a drop in the bucket, if it were not for donations from all walks of life, I would have starved to death hundreds of times, and now the price of food in Chongqing has risen to the sky, in order not to starve those old people and children, our Chen family has put the family foundation in, Liu Ting has donated all her savings for many years, every donation is a foundation to check, every expenditure, It's even more transparent, since you want to check, check it clearly. ”
Li Huating smiled and said: "What Madame said is extremely true, if Secretary-General Liu is wronged, our procuratorate will enforce the law impartially, and naturally we will return her innocence." ”
Yao Yilei said proudly: "I don't worry about your handling of the case." ”
This was a terrible statement, and a group of prosecutors in black tunics with extremely serious faces were ugly.
Yu Youren said: "This case is very important, and the Supervision Yuan must intervene." ”
He is the president of supervision, the five powers of the Republic of China are separated, and the status of the president of supervision is extremely high.
The case had to be made public, and Yu Youren invited a group of accountants to check the accounts of the pension committee in front of reporters.
The Pension Committee is a non-profit organization, only in and out of the account, so it is clear at a glance, even people who have not studied accounting can understand, not only is there no corruption, it is simply a basin of water, two sleeves of fresh air, the procuratorate copied Liu Ting's office, moved everything here, one of the small safes has not been opened, it is said that there is conclusive evidence inside.
The safe was opened in public, and there was a stack of bills inside, and Li Huating said without seeing it clearly: "Ren Gong, please see, this is a mountain of ironclad evidence!" ”
Yao Yilei snatched the bill, glanced at it, her eyes turned red, and presented it to Yu Youren, and the superintendent couldn't help but burst into tears.
It was a couple of pawn tickets and receipts for selling blood.
Reporters snapped the shutter and recorded the so-called "evidence." ”
Li Huating was dumbfounded, his brain turned very quickly, and he immediately announced the release of Liu Ting, and vowed to track down the framer.
Chen Zikun raised his eyebrows, and was about to find trouble with Li Huating, but when he saw Yao Yilei winking at him, he snorted coldly and walked away.
Liu Ting was released, the case was clear, but the matter was far from over, the major newspapers in Chongqing on the same day published the case, especially Ta Kung Pao was the most intense, in an article entitled "Such a corrupt criminal", the government was criticized, and even more bitterly scolded the procuratorate for acting as a tiger, not to arrest those real embezzlers, but framed Ms. Liu Ting, who was as poor as water, scolded to the end, the spearhead was once again pointed at the corrupt officials headed by Kong Xiangxi, saying that they ate and drank all day long, and the families of wounded soldiers and orphans of martyrs had to endure cold and starve, Relying on a weak woman to sell her blood as jewelry in exchange for high-priced food is a sin that deserves death.
The students once again marched in the streets, demanding punishment for speculative traders who hoarded grain, and for the lives of wounded soldiers and martyrs.
After leaving the prosecutor's office, Yao Yilei told Chen Zikun that Lin Wenlong had been kidnapped, and the kidnappers had not asked for ransom.
