Chapter 7: The Tip of the Iceberg
In the inquiry room of the guest house of the municipal government, An Xin and Sun Xu sat opposite Lin Asheng. Lin Asheng is a middle-aged man in his thirties, because Jiang Tian has already explained, he has a posture of being open-minded and not vomiting or unhappy.
An Xin asked: "On the evening of November 7, 2015, Jiang Tian and you were attacked on Lovers Street, can you describe the situation at that time?" Or some other thing you know. ”
Lin Asheng nodded: "After Shahai Group won the project of Lovers' Street, there have been people looking for all kinds of trouble, and they can't start construction. Boss Jiang was also forced to have no choice, so he asked someone to find Gao Qiqiang and wanted to solve it peacefully. Gao Qiqiang asked the boss to come out for an interview on weekend night, and the boss went without thinking too much, but Gao Qiqiang didn't come, and it was Wang Shuai who came. Wang Shuai wanted to take the boss away, but the boss didn't dare to go, so they beat him to death with the guy. In the middle of the chaos, I ran separately from my boss, and they chased me all the time while I was driving. Then my car was hit by them, and I was knocked unconscious by them. When I woke up in the hospital, there were two police officers standing next to my bedside, and I described the details to the two officers. They said they needed me to go to the police station to check my confession, and as soon as I got into the police car, I found Wang Shuai smiling at me inside. He was going to cut my tongue out in the police car, and the head of the police station and the police were outside the police car. Later, when I recorded my confession, I said that I had a conflict with an alcoholic. ”
An Xin asked: "Is there any evidence for what you said?" ”
"The dashcam took pictures of that night, but I didn't dare to give it to the police station. The boss told me to keep it. ”
In the office of the guest house of the municipal organ, Xu Zhong and Ji Ze read Lin Asheng's testimony.
An Xin said: "Lin Asheng's testimony, the time and details are right. I also watched the video of the dash cam, from parking to moving, it was clear. ”
Ji Ze said: "There are all human and physical evidence, Wang Shuai, this kid will definitely not be able to escape." What happened to the police station that received the police at that time? ”
An Xin replied: "I checked, the director in charge of this police call at that time was called Lu Peng, and he is still the director of the Pingkangli Police Station." ”
Xu Zhong said angrily: "The degree of harm to the country and society caused by this kind of corrupt cadre is much greater than that of Wang Shuai. We want to rectify the political and legal team, and the first thing to clean up is these people! Revise confessions, take serious cases and light sentences, ignore the interests of the people, and trample on the judicial process! Didn't he fill out the questionnaire in the first place? Find out his forms, one by one, and see how much panic he has! ”
In the private room of the hotel, the banquet was staggered, and several middle-aged people who looked like businessmen frequently toasted Director Lu.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and An Xin walked in with someone. "Provincial Anti-Crime Office Task Force. Lu Peng, now please go back and accept our investigation. ”
In the inquiry room of the guest house of the municipal organ, Director Lu obviously had not recovered from the strength of the wine, and he was in high spirits. "Isn't it just a few glasses of wine, and as for bringing me here with great fanfare?"
An Xin opened the door and didn't say a word, just looked at him. Director Lu saw the policemen in the station passing by the door one by one.
An Xin said: "The police officers from the Pingkangli Police Station have arrived, and your colleagues know what you have done." This opportunity to take the initiative to confess, maybe they want it more. ”
Director Lu hurriedly said: "I'll explain!" ”
In the office of the guest house of the municipal organ, An Xin was reporting to Xu Zhong.
Lu Peng admitted that he had accepted bribes from Wang Shuai to induce the informant to revise his testimony, resulting in a light sentence for a serious crime. But it has always been Wang Shuai who has come forward to dock with him, and Gao Qiqiang cannot be involved. ”
Xu Zhong waved his hand: "Although Wang Shuai has a low position in the Qiangsheng Group, he has been bullying the people for a long time and has an extremely bad influence among the grassroots masses!" Through the handling of Wang Shuai's case, we must publicize the determination to rectify the political and legal contingent and normalize the anti-gang and evil forces to the entire Jinghai! ”
Speaking of publicity, An Xin's first thought was Meng Yu, who was already a wife and a mother. Thinking of Meng Yu, An Xin naturally remembered the day she got married: Meng Yu, who was wearing a white wedding dress, held Meng Dehai's hand and walked on the red carpet, Meng Dehai handed his daughter's hand to Yang Jian, Yang Jian's face was flushed, and he was about to faint with happiness.
Retracting her thoughts, An Xin picked up the phone.
In the private room of Long Ding Xuan, Yang Jian was holding a tablet and ordering food. The clothes worn by Meng Yu next to him and the bag he carried were all worth a lot of money, and his taste was not bad. Yang Jian has resigned from the anti-narcotics brigade for many years and is now the deputy director of the Jinghai City Power Supply Bureau, a position that everyone envies. Compared with more than ten years ago, Yang Jian's original face is gone, his face has become rounder, and the clothes on his body are also very valuable, which is quite a bit of a leader's style.
An Xin asked, "What about the child?" ”
Meng Yu pouted: "Auntie is looking at it." Say, you're making an appointment for dinner and a toast, is there something wrong? ”
An Xin smiled and said, "Lao Yang, your wife Bing Xue is smart!" Turning to Meng Yu again, "I do want to ask you for help." I am now seconded to work in a task force sent by the Provincial Anti-Crime Office. We arrested Wang Shuai of Qiangsheng Group and wanted to use your column to promote it on TV. ”
Yang Jian and Meng Yu were stunned for a moment, and their hands froze.
Meng Yu drove, and Yang Jian sat in the passenger seat and said: "He asked you to do Wang Shuai's news, but in fact, it was Gao Qiqiang who wanted to do it." Has he considered what the consequences will be after the broadcast and what will affect us? They fight, don't drag our family into the water! Who is Gao Qiqiang, can he be provoked? ”
Meng Yu said: "Wang Shuai is not an important person, and I agreed. Besides, Lao Yang, we agreed that I won't dictate your work......"
Yang Jian raised his hand in surrender: "I will never interfere with your work." ”
In the office of the guest house of the municipal organ, Sun Xu was reporting to Xu Zhong on the new progress of the case.
Lu Peng confessed the well-documented amount of bribes, which is currently more than 8 million yuan, and there are more than 4 million yuan of property that even he himself can't tell the source. What's more, he didn't say a word about the backers behind him and refused to explain. ”
Xu Zhong said: "This is probably the reason why he has been able to sit in this position for so many years. ”
In the nursing home, Gao Qiqiang pushed a wheelchair and was basking in the sun with an old cadre who had suffered a stroke. Tang Xiaohu followed him, knowing that the old cadre's speech was no longer clear, and the two did not shy away from talking.
Tang Xiaohu said: "Brother Qiang, in 2015, the case on Lovers' Street was turned over, and several police officers from the Pingkangli Police Station were taken away. Several reporters from Jinghai Station went to Lovers Street to do an exclusive interview today, and An Xin wanted to make the movement as loud as possible! ”
On Lovers Street, Meng Yu is taking the cameraman to shoot materials. An Xin held milk tea and waited carefully beside her.
Meng Yu looked at the last shot in the monitor and said, "Okay, the material is enough." ”
An Xin handed over milk tea: "Hard work, can this news be broadcast on Sunday night?" ”
Meng Yu pouted and said, "I've been riding you in for a weekend, and you're not allowed to rest?" Why are you more ruthless than our director! ”
An Xin hurriedly said: "Broadcast it early, see the effect early!" Can I go to Uncle Meng's house on Sunday? It's been a long time since I've seen you, so let's have a meal together, and by the way, watch your masterpiece broadcast on TV. ”
Meng Yu nodded: "Can you really come?" Then I'll tell my dad. ”
An Xinyi saluted: "Guaranteed!" ”
In the inpatient area of the municipal hospital, Meng Dehai came out of the ward, and only here could he show weakness and exhaustion. Yang Jian stood in the corridor and saw his father-in-law as respectful as he saw his superiors. "Dad."
"Why are you here?"
"Xiaoyu called home, but no one answered, knowing that you must have come to the hospital again. Xiao Yu was going to come to see her mother, but An Xin called and said that she was going to see you at home, so Xiao Yu went home first and opened the door. ”
"Really? Let's go and go home! ”
Yang Jian led Meng Dehai to a brand-new luxury car in the parking lot.
Meng Dehai glanced at it: "I can't afford such an expensive car." You should also pay attention to the influence, in the eyes of outsiders, our family is one. ”
"Understand, keep a low profile. But I'm in the power supply bureau, isn't it just trying to get a higher salary and make Xiaoyu live a better life? ”
Meng Dehai seemed to be touched by something, and didn't argue anything.
At the door of Meng's house, Meng Dehai took out the key to open the door, and he couldn't twist it after a few twists. The door was opened from the inside, and An Xin stood in front of them with an apron on her hands, her hands covered in flour.
After more than ten years, the furnishings in the house have not changed much. Meng Dehai took Yang Jian into the door to change his shoes, and An Xin stood aside.
Meng Yu's voice came from the kitchen: "Dad is back!" It's rare that there are all people today, I will say make dumplings together! ”
"That's a good idea! Dumplings are lively. I'll wash my hands and adjust the stuffing. ”
An Xin said: "No, you rest, we can do enough." ”
Meng Dehai turned blank and said loudly: "Can you eat it?" I've eaten my dumplings for decades and now say no? As he spoke, Meng Dehai walked into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.
An Xin said: "I seem to have said the wrong thing. ”
Meng Yu said: "Alas, putting him in the National People's Congress is to provide for the elderly, and it is better than An Changlin, the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, who has always been angry." ”
Meng Dehai came out of the bathroom, and Meng Yu hurriedly pulled him into the kitchen.
The four of them made dumplings in the living room, some rolled the skin, some wrapped, and had a good time.
An Xin said: "Next time you go to see Aunt Cui and bring me, I will talk to Aunt Cui." ”
"Okay. I heard that you have been seconded to the Provincial Education Rectification Guidance Group? ”
"Yes."
Meng Dehai sighed: "Many of the people promoted on the public security front are real swords and guns, and they are all heroes, and in the end they can't escape the word 'greed', it's a pity!" ”
Everyone fell silent. Meng Yu subconsciously glanced at her husband, and Yang Jian looked absent-minded.
"Uncle, Jinghai News will broadcast Director Meng's new work after that. It's almost time, right? ”
Meng Yu said: "The film is in too much of a hurry, don't pick on it!" ”
As he spoke, Meng Yu wiped his hands and turned on the TV, the sign on the screen was Jinghai City Station, playing advertisements.
When the time came, everyone's eyes were full of anticipation, but an old movie suddenly appeared on the screen.
Meng Yu was very surprised: "What's the matter?" ”
An Xin was not too surprised, this result was faintly unexpected by him.
In the Fulu Teahouse, Gao Qiqiang was playing with a USB flash drive with the logo of Jinghai TV. He took Xiaolong and Xiaohu brothers to dinner, and there was still only one table in the store. The TV set was deliberately placed in the lobby, and the old movie was still playing on Jinghai TV.
Gao Qiqiang put the USB flash drive on the table: "This is a case on Lovers' Street, An Xin wanted to make it into a news broadcast tonight, but I stopped it." These relationships owe a favor once they move, and sooner or later they will have to be repaid with real money. ”
The Tang brothers nodded again and again.
The cooked dumplings were already on the table and no one moved. Meng Yu put down the phone angrily and said, "How can the USB flash drive of the important news to be played in the station be lost?" ”
Meng Dehai asked: "What is the content of your episode?" ”
An Xin said: "A property manager under Qiangsheng Group has been bullying and dominating the market in the area of Lovers Street for a long time, and we arrested him, and we want to use Meng Yu's column to publicize it and encourage more people to report clues related to crime." ”
Meng Dehai asked: "Are you going for Gao Qiqiang?" ”
At this time, Meng Yu's phone rang, and Meng Yu angrily pressed the speakerphone: "Hey." ”
There was a young female voice on the phone, and her voice was urgent: "An official account issued a press release on Wang Shuai's case, and it was also mentioned that our station will broadcast it in the evening column." Now the background is full of messages, asking why the column is not broadcast, and I can't hide it if I want to. ”
"What public account?"
"The post was sent to you, you have to prepare first, the director is already mad."
The phone hung up in a hurry, and Meng Yu hurriedly opened the post and skimmed it quickly.
Meng Yu looked at An Xin in disbelief: "What's going on?" As he spoke, he handed the phone to An Xin.
An Xin replied: "Oh, a few friends from the media have cooperated with us in the past to do anti-fraud propaganda work. I wanted their posts to be posted at the same time as your news to drive traffic and create some momentum. ”
Meng Yu said: "You can't trust me? Or do you know that the news will not be broadcast? Let the public account hype up this broadcast accident, but it has set a case that no one pays attention to! ”
An Xin explained: "You overestimate me too much, how can I have that brain." ”
"Get out. I don't want to see someone who will only take advantage of me! Get lost! ”
Meng Yu shouted, and the family froze.
Yang Jian accompanied An Xin out of the unit door, and his face sank. "What you mean today, only you know in your heart."
An Xin said, "What's wrong? You're also weird with me. ”
"If you don't want to say it, forget it, there's no need to ramble."
Yang Jian turned around to go upstairs, but was pulled by An Xin.
An Xin said: "Lao Yang, Uncle Meng treats me as his own family, and I also treat you as family. Jinghai is too small, and what can be hidden is not a secret, just a evidence. ”
Yang Jian was silent for a long time, and said gloomily, "How long have we not drunk together?" ”
"Since you took Ma Tao and they resigned from the anti-narcotics team."
"Find time for a drink, I have to thank you for being willing to say that to me. When I went back, I had to check my child's homework. It's not easy to be a father, you can't do everything as you like. ”
An Xin looked at Yang Jian and watched him disappear into the dark doorway.
