Just when Lu Yiwei was lost in his thoughts, he heard hurried footsteps coming from the corridor. He quickly gathered his thoughts, got up, and walked out.
Zhang Zhiyuan came up in a hurry. When he saw Lu Yiwei, he said, "Inform Mayor Bai to come to my office immediately!" His tone was firm and powerful.
Lu Yiwei thought something had happened and quickly called Bai Yuxin. After notifying Zhang Zhiyuan, he returned to his office and brewed some tea.
Lu Yiwei was not sure what kind of role he played. On the surface, he was the deputy director of the government office, but he was just a secretary. However, Zhang Zhiyuan never admitted that he was a secretary in front of others, but only introduced him to others. This made Lu Yiwei a little uncertain. Did Zhang Zhiyuan trust him or not?
After a while, Bai Yuxin ran up, panting. Zhang Zhiyuan went straight to the point. "Old Bai, there's good news from Tao Anguo. Ma Linhui has taken the bait."
This was definitely good news! Bai Yuxin and Lu Yiwei looked at each other and smiled. Zhang Zhiyuan took a sip of tea and continued, "According to Tao Anguo, they made a secret deal the afternoon before yesterday. Today, the last sum of money was transferred to Ma Linhui's account. Both of them were caught red-handed. This is a golden opportunity. Next, we'll split up the work. Yiwei, go to the bank and see if Ma Linhui has withdrawn the money from his account. If not, freeze it immediately. Yu Xin, contact Secretary Hou and mobilize troops from Gu Chuan County as soon as possible. Once they are captured, lock them up and detain them secretly. No one is allowed to come close. "
"Okay, I'll do it now! Where is Ma Linhui now?" Bai Yuxin asked.
"According to Tao Anguo, Ma Linhui will return to Nan Yang County to meet him tonight. What I mean is to find the right time to capture him on the road. Don't alert him, "Zhang Zhiyuan said.
"Alright, we'll get to it right away!"
Bai Yuxin quickly walked out of the County party committee building and called Hou Yongzhi, the secretary of the Municipal Committee of Politics and Law. After telling him the truth, Hou Yongzhi directly told him that he had already informed the Director of the Gu Chuan County Public Security Bureau, Jiang Yongchang, in advance, and that he should look for him directly. He would do his best to cooperate with him.
When they arrived at the Gu Chuan County Public Security Bureau, Bai Yuxin immediately went to find Jiang Yongchang and explained the purpose of her visit. Jiang Yongchang quickly mobilized a small team and handed it over to Bai Yuxin to command.
Bai Yuxin said worriedly, "Director Jiang, this operation is very important to us. County Zhang attaches great importance to it. Not only does he want to capture them, but he also wants to keep it a secret for some time."
Jiang Yongchang was a straightforward person. He patted his chest and said, "Brother Yuxin, don't worry. This team is the backbone of our Gu Chuan County's police force. They have participated in some major cases. You can rest assured about their skills. I guarantee that there won't be any accidents. Also, I'm in charge of this team, and no one else has the authority to deploy them. I can absolutely trust them in terms of political discipline and confidentiality. "
"Since Director Jiang said so, then I can rest assured." Bai Yuxin said with relief.
On the other side, Lu Yiwei did not dare to delay. He went to the bank to inquire about the account number provided by Tao Anguo. However, the bank staff did not cooperate and said, "I'm sorry, account information is personal privacy. We can't provide you with any services."
Lu Yiwei was anxious and revealed his identity. However, the other party still did not buy it and insisted, "I'm sorry, even if you are the county magistrate, we can't help you check it. We can only check it after the judicial authorities have completed certain procedures."
Judicial authorities? The first person Lu Yiwei thought of was the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau, Fu Jiangwei. This person was trustworthy. However, if he wanted to issue the relevant procedures, it must go through Director Xiao Dingyuan. In order to prevent other problems from arising, Lu Yiwei gave up on this idea.
On second thought, he thought of the Procuratorate's Chief Prosecutor, Yin Zhichang. Lu Yiwei immediately rushed to the Procuratorate and asked for Yin Zhichang's support. Yin Zhichang was trained by Hou Yongzhi. In addition, some time ago, Hou Yongzhi, the secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee, arranged for him to secretly help Zhang Zhiyuan. With this layer of relationship, some things were naturally logical. After Yin Zhichang heard this, he arranged for a few judicial police officers to go to the bank with the procedures to cooperate.
However, when he went to the bank to check, the money in the card had been withdrawn a few minutes ago. Lu Yiwei was so angry that he stomped his feet. After reporting to Zhang Zhiyuan, Zhang Zhiyuan did not say much. He said, "Go to Guchuan County to cooperate with Magistrate Bai now. Don't lose him!"
That night, with the clues provided by Tao Anguo, Ma Linhui was finally arrested on National Highway 101. The arrest of the core figure of Erbao Coal Mine marked the official start of Zhang Zhiyuan's attack on Erbao Coal Mine, which was of great significance to the next development.
The next problem was a little difficult. Where was the appropriate place to detain such an important person as Ma Linhui? With the consent of Zhang Zhiyuan, he was handed over to the county Procuratorate's Yin Zhichang, detained in a secret place, and temporarily not released to the public.
According to the Criminal Procedure Law, "The People's Procuratorate has the right to decide on detention, but it should be handed over to the public security organ to execute." However, in reality, the power of the Procuratorate was astonishing. Not only could they bypass the public security organ and directly detain at will in the name of a summons, but the detention period far exceeded the maximum limit of 37 days. In addition, they could also influence the tendency of the court judge in the trial of the case, and could even directly in the form of documents to the Ministry of Justice to reduce the sentence of the prisoner, becoming the leader of the political and legal system.
Not only that, government officials and business owners were most afraid of being summoned by the Procuratorate. If they were lucky, they could be released safely after two days of investigation. If they were unlucky and involved a serious case, they would probably not be able to get out, and they would be arrested directly.
As the supervision organ of the law, the arbitrariness of law enforcement and the unrestrained power allowed the Procuratorate to be outside the supervision and regulation of the law, even above the law. It was one of the most mysterious organs in the country. Although the National People's Congress, as the legislative organ, had the power to intervene and supervise the Procuratorate, in reality, it was just a show.
In the current era when the law was not perfect, the Procuratorate became a regulatory vacuum, because it itself was the supervision organ of the law. When it came to the county level, no one dared to interfere. Over time, it became a "three don't care" zone that no one dared to interfere with and no one dared to provoke. (Therefore, it is recommended that those who want to take the civil service examination, the Procuratorate is the first choice.) Zhang Zhiyuan handed Ma Linhui over to Yin Zhichang because he knew this.
After Ma Linhui was escorted back, Zhang Zhiyuan did not immediately go to see him. Instead, he ordered Bai Yuxin to immediately conduct a surprise interrogation, at all costs, by all means, to make him spit out the truth before dawn.
That night, Bai Yuxin took turns to interrogate Ma Linhui.
In the middle of the interrogation room, there was a special chair with a wooden board in front of it. After being locked up, the person being interrogated could not move. Opposite the chair was a table, two ordinary chairs, and a set of recording equipment. These were all the belongings in the room. If one went to a higher level, they would be equipped with more advanced equipment such as a lie detector.
The color of the room was dark brown, with a dim light bulb. If one stayed in for a long time, it was easy for one's mind to split, and it was very depressed. They were not afraid that one would close their eyes and not look. The room was made of a special soundproof material. It was unusually quiet, and almost no movement could be heard. After a while, one would have auditory hallucinations and feel suffocated. If one encountered a heavy smoker, staying in such an environment for half an hour would cause them to go crazy and shout to see the interrogator. After a while, they would take the initiative to confess.
Of course, some people would say that they could commit suicide and refuse to confess. Forget it! Save your energy. The walls of the room were specially made and used soft packaging, similar to the cushions of a sofa. In addition, there were no ropes or sharp objects in the room that could cause the person being interrogated to commit suicide.
The Procuratorate could enjoy such a high-level interrogation room, but the current public security organs seemed shabby. An ordinary house was installed with iron fences, and a row of batons, handcuffs, and other police equipment hung on the wall beside it. The public security officers would bring in the criminals and beat them up without caring about the consequences before moving on to the next step. If they refused to confess, they would enjoy another full-body massage. The rough way of law enforcement made many ordinary people awe.
It was not difficult to discover that the Procuratorate and the Public Security Bureau faced different groups, so the interrogation methods were naturally different.
There was also a party organ that could be interrogated, and that was the Discipline Inspection Commission. The full name of the Discipline Inspection Commission was the Discipline Inspection Commission. It was responsible for supervising the discipline of the party's leading cadres. The most frightening thing was the "double regulation." The relevant personnel were required to explain the problems involved in the case at a specified time and place. They also had the power to interrogate. However, there was no specific place. It could be a hotel or an ordinary house, but it had to be renovated. The last time Lu Yiwei was isolated for investigation by the Discipline Inspection Commission, he chose to do it in the abandoned office building of the cannery.
There was supervision within the party, and so did the government, which was the bureau. However, according to the principle of "one set of people, two sets of teams." The Discipline Inspection Commission and the bureau generally worked together. The power in their hands was the "double finger." They ordered personnel suspected of violating administrative discipline to explain the problems involved in the investigation at a specified time and place. The basis of law enforcement was the "Law of the People's Republic of China on Administrative Supervision," which applied to government employees. However, under the shadow of the Discipline Inspection Commission, many people ignored the existence of this department.
After listing so many, it must be a little dazzling. In short, the Procuratorate and other judicial organs investigated people who violated the law, while the Discipline Inspection Commission and the bureau were responsible for the party and the masses, government, and social organizations who violated the party's discipline and state laws. If a party leader committed a crime, he would first be punished within the party, followed by administrative punishment. If he violated the law, he would be transferred to the judicial organ.
If the reader paid attention, he could see the recent incidents: "XXX is suspected of serious violations of discipline and is under investigation by the organization." A few days later, another piece of news appeared: "XXX is suspected of violating the discipline and is being transferred to the judicial organ according to the law." The so-called transfer to the judicial organ meant that the public security organ or the Procuratorate would file a case for investigation. After the facts were confirmed, the Procuratorate would issue an arrest warrant and file a public prosecution with the People's Court according to the law. After the People's Court heard the case and pronounced the sentence, it would be transferred to the prison under the jurisdiction of the Justice Bureau.
In the process of implementation, everyone felt that they had little power and wantonly expanded their scope. The Discipline Inspection Commission could investigate ordinary people, but the Procuratorate skipped the Discipline Inspection Commission and directly arrested government officials. It was a mess.
In recent years, there were also people who questioned the practice of the "double rule" and "double finger" within the party and the government. They believed that regardless of whether they were party members or civil servants, they were first and foremost citizens of the People's Republic of China. Therefore, the investigation of their illegal acts and the restriction of personal freedom should comply with the law. This was stipulated by the Constitution.
