Chapter 98 Fatal Strike (2)
There is a single room in the North Court of the First Detention Center of Wushan Public Security Bureau. The environment is good and there is an independent bathroom. There is a TV to watch videos but no TV programs or news can be seen. However, newspapers will be sent here every day.
Zhou Liren lives in this single room. The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision Bureau's investigation into him is coming to an end. It is estimated that it will be sent to the procuratorial and judicial office soon. It will be a long list of prosecutions. Almost all the senior executives of Dawangzhuang Agricultural Economic Group are spared. In addition, three department-level officials, including Zhang Jinan, former Qinglong County Party Secretary, were involved, more than a dozen deputy departments and deputy departments below the department.
Zhou Liren has always been very calm, eating and sleeping. He has to read Chairman Mao’s quotations several times every day, but that night, he was very angry because today’s evening newspaper did not come on time.
No matter how the police persuaded the police, whether they were scolding or patiently counseling, Zhou Liren just couldn't do it until the noise alarmed the deputy director Xia Fatty, who was on duty, and a black and fat round-faced policeman.
"Uncle Zhou, what's wrong, are you?" Fatty Xia's smile on his face when he came in, which was completely different from other prisoners.
Zhou Liren's face was very cold, and he stared at Fatty Xia and said, "How did you judge it? Why don't you let me read the newspaper?"
This morning is the day when his youngest son Zhou Xiubo was sentenced, and the evening newspaper will definitely be published. However, the first time this is abnormal, he has no newspaper to read, which makes him feel a vague premonition.
Fatty Xia scratched her head and said, "The evening newspaper has not come. Uncle Zhou, I don't know what's going on. In this way, I call to urge me."
"Stop playing mysterious tricks with me." Zhou Liren's voice immediately became louder, "Xiao Xia, I tell you, I'm not blind, just tell me, how to judge it?"
Fatty Xia was frightened by Zhou Liren's fire-breathing gaze, and the tiger that was imprisoned was still the king of all beasts.
After hesitating for a moment, Fatty Xia knew that she could not hide it. She reluctantly said, "Uncle, I don't show you the newspaper because I'm afraid you will be anxious. Yes, I'm sentenced to death. But don't worry, Xiubo's brothers' lawyer appealed in court, and there will be a turning point."
Death penalty? Zhou Liren's head buzzed, his body staggered, and he almost fell down. Fatty Xia hurriedly supported him.
"Death penalty?" Zhou Liren murmured, and a sneer gradually appeared on his face, "Death penalty? Appeal?" He slowly broke away from Fatty Xia's hand holding him, and slowly walked into the inside, sneering while walking.
Looking at Zhou Liren's back, a strange color flashed in Fatty Xia's eyes.
In early May 2019, the Wushan Intermediate People's Court made a first-instance judgment, and the defendant Zhou Xiubo was convicted of multiple charges, including rape, intentional injury, illegal detention, etc., and was sentenced to death and deprivation of political rights for life.
On the second day after Zhou Xiubo was sentenced to death, Zhou Liren made a request to meet Lin Song and Huo Qinqun
The business suite of the Pearl Hotel No. 10U has been consented by Lu Zheng as an office for non-office hours such as holidays. However, as Wushan began to implement the "five-day work system every other week", Lu Zheng made it clear that all Saturdays were working here, and used weekends to review less urgent documents. On weekdays, he would occasionally see guests here to rest.
This business suite has gradually become the "No. 2 Room" mentioned by government office staff.
On Friday afternoon, after participating in the reception event of the leader Yu's subordinates in Haigang District, Lu Zheng asked Hu Zi to drive directly to the Mingzhu Hotel. In Room 2, Xie Kun and Lei Yongsheng were both there.
Xie Kun came early and sent a stack of documents waiting for the leader to review. Tomorrow, the leader can calm down and concentrate on reviewing.
In addition, Xie Kun also came to open the door for Lei Yongsheng, and Lei Yongsheng had already made an appointment with the mayor.
After Lu Zheng came in, Xie Kun reported on the candidate for secretary to be on duty here tomorrow, and then left.
Tomorrow this Saturday is the rest day the next week, so Lei Yongsheng couldn't help but sigh when he heard that Lu Zheng was still going to handle business here: "I'm busy all day and night, but some people are not worry-free."
Lu Zheng smiled, "Others think of us so much, it's time to be busy, but the secretary of the group is also very busy.
Lei Yongsheng curled his lips and said, "Are you busy putting out the fire?"
Lu Zheng waved his hand and signaled Lei Yongsheng to sit down, and said thoughtfully: "Zhou Liren must have met Lin Song, and I don't know what he has talked about."
Lei Yongsheng shook his head, "I heard from the people in the prison that there was no third person present when they met, and Huo Qinqun refused to see him, which was obvious." Lei Yongsheng did not say the rest. If Huo Qinqun went, what if he heard something that shouldn't be heard, what should he do? There is a Lin Song, and there is always a firewall. But I guess Zhou Liren would not spit out too much, because in addition to Zhou Xiubo, Zhou Liren also has relatives, so he wanted to shake out everything, and their Zhou family was afraid that the fate would be even worse.
If someone wants to spit out, it must be what Zhou Liren hates the most now, and he uses money the most to protect himself, but now he has not given any power to Zhou Xiubo's case. In this way, he can remind the others of Yu Bu, whoever wants to go in, and someone will give great efforts to the follow-up trial of his family, including Zhou Xiubo.
Lei Yongsheng thought that if it were him, he would definitely be the same, and Mayor Lu naturally wanted to get these joints.
After thinking for a while, Lei Yongsheng smiled and said, "Mayor, Xiao Xia, the deputy director of the Institute, was a gambler. After owing a lot of debts, he began to ask for bribes and embezzlement. The bureau is investigating him. It seems that he has received a letter and is about to run away. People like him, I will throw 200,000 to 300,000 yuan and 300,000 yuan. I think it's okay to ask him to kill someone."
Lu Zheng nodded, knowing that Lei Yongsheng had inexplicably mentioned such a person to him, there must be some more information.
Lei Yongsheng stopped talking about this, and said, "You said, will anyone want to destroy Zhou Liren's mouth? For example, if the case of Dawangzhuang involves Xiong Zongwu, this person has gone to the battlefield to kill people, and I think he will be forced to force him to do anything. Meng Qinghai is also very cruel."
Lu Zheng knew that Lei Yongsheng was not an alarmist statement. These Yu Ministry had experienced the Cultural Revolution. In that era, any crazy thing could have happened. Even at the end of the Cultural Revolution, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security died inexplicably. Moreover, they were not defeated and criticized, but died inexplicably in the underground pipeline when they were in power, and were finally judged to have suicide. This involved the struggle for the highest level of power and was covered in a fog.
Moreover, the media is now blocked and the technology is backward, so many covers can be covered tightly.
However, Lei Yongsheng's example is wrong. Although Xiong Zongwu, the propaganda minister, looked down on him, his personality should not have any economic involvement with the Zhou family. Although he made great efforts to promote the red flag of Dawangzhuang.
Lei Yongsheng suddenly smiled and said, "This requires these people to destroy Zhou Liren's mouth, fake swallowing sleeping pills and commit suicide, but the result is not successful, and it will be lively. Old Zhou has to lift them all out."
Linking the context of Lei Yongsheng, thinking about it, Lu Zheng gradually understood what Lei Yongsheng meant, waved his hand and said, "You are exaggerating, who would take this risk? The case of the Zhou family is not just the eyes and ears of our city."
Lei Yongsheng laughed: "You are right."
Lu Zheng picked up the teacup and said, "Many things should be stopped in time, as it is easy to cause trouble forcing the tiger to jump over the wall. And Yongsheng, some bottom lines must be kept well."
Lei Yongsheng nodded slowly.
On Saturday afternoon, when Lu Zheng was still reviewing documents in Room 2, he received a paging from Secretary General Lin Song, saying that he was holding a secretary's meeting in Secretary Huo's office at five o'clock.
Obviously, it's urgent.
When Lu Zheng came to Huo Qinqun's office, everyone was there. Except for Ren Zhonghua who said he had gastroenteritis and was not present in the hospital, the other deputy secretaries were all there, and Zhang Sheng, secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, was also present.
Lin Song's face was very serious and sent a copy of the document to each person. While sending it, he said: "This is the material for Zhou Liren to report to the Deputy Mayor and Director of the Public Security Bureau Comrade Meng Qinghai. When I talked with Comrade Meng Qinghai, he confessed."
Lu Zheng picked it up and looked through it. It was a gift from the gifts received by the New Year and the Festival, the weddings and funerals of Meng Qinghai’s relatives, etc.
After Lin Song sat down, he continued: "Preliminary estimates that Meng Qinghai has received more than 100,000 yuan of gifts from Zhou Liren and others in the past two years. The specific amount remains to be verified. Both of them remember it clearly. Qinghai admitted that he was confused for a while, but did not think that his behavior constituted bribery, because he did not use his power to help Zhou Liren and others obtain illegal income. He was willing to refund the gifts in full. However, because the amount is large, in this extraordinary period, I think our cadres should be strictly controlled and we cannot be on duty with illness. Therefore, the Discipline Inspection Commission proposed to ask the Standing Committee to remove Meng Qinghai from his posts as a member of the Party Leadership Group of the Municipal Government, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and request the Standing Committee of the People's Congress to remove him from his posts as deputy mayor, director of the Public Security Bureau, etc. The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection will hand the case over to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and ask the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to file a case for investigation of his problems."
Huo Qinqun nodded, looked at Lu Zheng, and asked, "Mayor, what are your opinions?"
Everyone's eyes looked over. The problem of Dawang Zhuang Agricultural Economics Group has been overturning for almost half a year. Regardless of whether it is involved or not, as a member of the municipal party committee, I hope that this matter will be settled soon. As long as the young mayor does not make trouble, the matter should come to an end. Today's meeting is actually based on Lu Zheng's opinion.
Although everyone knows that Meng Qinghai’s problems are likely to be more than this, and it’s a bit too small to enlarge them. Zhou Liren explained these issues, and thought it was thought that it had been carefully considered.
However, Meng Qinghai was dismissed and investigated. No matter what the final outcome was, even if he was transferred to his position for work without any injury, the position of the Public Security Bureau Director was always vacant. Zhang Sheng had just conducted a written inspection of Zhou Xiubo's case and was warned by the party, so the city bureau may have the exception of Lao Chu and Hou Jianjun. Otherwise, he would have to transfer people from outside. Chu Dalei and Hou Jianjun were actually Lu Zheng's people.
I wonder if Lu Zheng will be satisfied with this result.
So, almost everyone looked at him.
Lu Zheng seemed to think for a while, nodded and said, "I agree with Lao Lin's opinion."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Lu Zheng looked at Huo Qinqun again and said with a smile: "Secretary of Qinqun, didn't I tell you a few days ago that I hope to add an assistant mayor? Now our government team is too busy with all kinds of work, and I hope to add an assistant mayor to share the burden."
Huo Qinqun nodded: "Well, you said, why, are you interested in someone you choose?"
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "I think this comrade Wang Qingxiang is very good. From all aspects, it is quite outstanding among the committee and bureau."
Everyone here was slightly stunned, and Huo Qinqun smiled and said, "Yes, I know this comrade more well.
Lu Zheng extinguished the cigarette butt and said, "Where is the Finance Bureau, I think it's up to the executive, Lao Gao and Gao Yu."
The people present suddenly realized that it was because Wang Qingxiang was promoted to the public and secretly, and this mayor's assistant must have been defeated. After all, the mayor's assistant has no name. Judging from this situation, as long as Lu Zheng is present, I am afraid that Wang Qingxiang, the assistant, will not be promoted. Maybe after a while, I will be sent to an unpopular situation.
Lu Zheng came from the Finance Bureau. Now the Finance Bureau Director Wang Qingxiang and the Executive Deputy Director Gao Yuzhen were both deputy directors under Lu Zheng back then. Seeing that Lu Zheng was about to abandon Wang Yonggao, he also knew who was close to him.
Huo Qinqun's face was nothing unusual and nodded: "Time is tight today, so let's discuss it again."
After the meeting, everyone came out one after another. Lin Song stayed. Seeing Secretary Huo locked his eyebrows, slowly lit a cigarette, and sucked it in one mouthful, Lin Song sighed softly in his heart.
Lu Zheng was coming in a fierce manner and wanted to take the opportunity to replace the head of the Finance Bureau. However, it is not difficult to understand. As the No. 1 city government, he naturally hopes that the leaders of the most important committees and bureaus in his department can be fully instructed. Wang Qingxiang sometimes was too much and had no sense of crisis.
The Public Security Bureau or the Finance Bureau? It seems that Secretary Huo must give up some positions.
