Liang Haiping's death had shrouded Long 'an in white terror. Not to mention the officials, even the common people knew who killed him, but some things could only be understood and not explained.
After receiving the instruction from Shao Zhongjie to "investigate to the end", Lu Yiwei did not stop and ordered the public security to pursue the fugitive. That night, Zheng Ergou was caught at a hiding place in the provincial capital and confessed to his crimes on the spot. When Wang Zhiquan was arrested, he was already abroad.
"Secretary Lu, according to immigration data, Wang Zhiquan took flight A6623 to Australia on the night of May 22nd."
Hearing this news, Lu Yiwei punched the sofa heavily. Once he was out of the country, the difficulty of tracking him could be imagined. He said angrily, "What the hell are you guys doing? I told you to keep an eye on Wang Zhiquan, and now you're telling me that he has left the country? Do you think this case will never be closed?"
Fu Jiangwei lowered his head and said, "This is my responsibility, I didn't watch him well."
Lu Yiwei calmed down and said, "Have you checked his call records, who did he talk to that night?"
"Yes, he talked to Mayor Deng's driver, Wang Biao, four times, one of which was after the incident, and the call lasted 12 minutes and 32 seconds."
Pointing the spearhead at Deng Zhongyuan, Lu Yiwei closed his eyes and thought for a long time, "Interrogate Wang Biao overnight, we must get to the bottom of this."
The investigation continued, but other work could not stop. Under the arrangement of the Organization Department, the donation ceremony for the Wenchuan earthquake was held in the County party committee conference room. Officials above the county level participated, and retired officials were also invited.
This work had been raised to the level of the whole party, and as a party member, no one dared to drop the ball. They firmly supported and actively participated. Lu Yiwei spoke on behalf of the County party committee and took the lead in donating 10,000 yuan. Normally, donating a month's salary was enough, but he took the responsibility of a party member.
Deng Zhongyuan, who had not appeared for a long time, also participated in this event. During the whole event, he did not communicate with Lu Yiwei and sat there with a dark face, silently resisting.
In the past few days, reports about Liu Zhankui and Deng Zhongyuan had arrived like snowflakes. The contents of the report letter were abnormally detailed. It involved more than ten years of events and listed all kinds of crimes. The content mentioned was shocking and made one's hair stand on end. Moreover, each letter was more explosive than the last. It was obvious that it was an organized and premeditated report. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to understand it in such detail.
The report was not only sent to the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, but it was also sent to Lu Yiwei. Unsurprisingly, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection also received it. There was only one goal, and that was to take advantage of this situation to knock him down.
In the past two days, the happiest person was none other than the Director of the National People's Congress, Guo Jianye. He was in a good mood. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, he frequently appeared on TV, organized representatives of the National People's Congress to conduct inspections and research, and even held a one-month banquet for his newborn granddaughter.
During this period, he had looked for Lu Yiwei and expressed his opinion, whether intentionally or unintentionally, that Liang Haiping's case be investigated strictly and that he fully supported him. Guo Jianye was the spiritual leader of the retired cadres, and his opinion might also be the common demand of this group of people.
Putting aside personal grudges, when Liu Zhankui was in charge of Long 'an, he did not pay attention to the retired cadres and did not listen to their voices. This mistake was a major factor that pushed him into the abyss.
After the meeting was adjourned, everyone else left, except for the former County Magistrate, Gong Zhiru, who sat there motionlessly. Lu Yiwei had already returned to his office. When he learned about the situation, he returned to the meeting room and saw Gong Zhiru sitting upright with a cold and angry look.
"County Magistrate Gong, are you looking for me?"
Gong Zhiru did not say a word but stared at him.
Lu Yiwei was not afraid of the stare. He sat down and said: "Old Gong, if you have something to say, come to my office. I'm all ears."
Gong Zhiru was unmoved. After a long time, he raised his hand and pointed to the Party emblem in front of him: "Are you a Communist Party member?"
Lu Yiwei nodded.
"Then, do you still have the Party spirit and principles?"
"Yes, I have always believed in the Party and put the people at the center. If I have done something wrong, you are welcome to criticize and correct me."
Gong Zhiru turned his head abruptly and said with a dark face: "Look at what you have done since you came to Long 'an. Not only did you not develop the Party, but you also bullied people everywhere in the name of rectification. Tell me, what is your purpose? Do you feel at ease watching the Party members and cadres fall one by one? On behalf of the 800,000 people in Long 'an, I question your work, and I want to meet the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Shao Zhongjie in person and ask him why he allows you to do whatever you want. "
Lu Yiwei was unmoved and said righteously: "County Magistrate Gong, you are a veteran Party member, a veteran cadre, and a veteran revolutionary. You have witnessed the development of Long 'an and know the crux of Long' an's problems. The organization sent me to promote the development of Long 'an, and I have no personal feelings. I have no enmity with anyone, so how can I bully people everywhere? I have always adhered to the principle of Party spirit that you mentioned just now. As for the rest, I don't want to say more. Later generations will give the correct judgment. "
"So you mean that you will not give up until you achieve your goal?"
"I have no goal. It is my mission and my duty to create a clean and upright development environment for Long 'an. If the organization feels that I am incompetent, I have no regrets even if I leave. "
Gong Zhiru no longer spoke. He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then slowly sat up and walked out of the door. Lu Yiwei stood there and watched him leave.
It was time for the curtain to fall on this drama.
That night, Liang Yuwen, the secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, called him to his office and said bluntly: "The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection will send people to Long 'an again to conduct a detailed investigation into the contents of the report. You must fully cooperate."
"Understood."
"In addition, Governor Zhao has personally asked about this matter and made specific requirements. If it is found to be true, severe punishment will be meted out. In response to this, I have specifically asked and reported to Secretary Shao. His attitude is very clear, and he will actively cooperate with the investigation. "
After returning to Long 'an from Nanzhou City, Lu Yiwei went upstairs and was shocked. There was someone standing at the door. With the help of the light, he saw the face clearly. It was none other than Liu Zhankui.
Lu Yiwei was stunned for a moment, then continued upstairs to the door. He smiled and said: "Magistrate Liu, when did you come back? Why didn't you call? Were you waiting for me?"
Liu Zhankui's fierce face showed anger, but he did not respond.
Lu Yiwei opened the door to let him in, and Liu Zhankui strode in. When pouring tea for him, he opened the recording pen in his pocket and put it in the cabinet.
They sat opposite each other, a little distant. Simply put, the two of them had no more than three opportunities to sit face to face and chat, and this might be the last time.
