Morning, 10 am.
Yan Tai County's Commission for Discipline Inspection building. An old Santana drove Dong Xuebing slowly.
This is the first time Dong Xuebing entered the Commission for Discipline Inspection building since he was transferred to Yan Tai County. He alighted from the car calmly and looked around. He wanted to call his mother to tell them that he will not be returning to the hospital today. But he was rejected by two Commission for Discipline Inspection officers. They walked in front emotionlessly and brought Dong Xuebing to a small office on the second floor.
There is a table, a few chairs, and a lamp.
This office is similar to the Public Security Bureau's interrogation room.
After asking Dong Xuebing to sit down, one of them sat opposite him, and the other went out to look for Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing does not have experience being investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. But from the way they reacted, he knew they are not being investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Usually, there will be sufficient evidence, and the Commission for Discipline Inspection will force Dong Xuebing to be detained. But from the expressions of those two officers, Dong Xuebing can tell they are not being investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Of course, this is not a normal investigation. Normally, the Commission for Discipline Inspection will contact Dong Xuebing or his colleagues outside of work hours. They will not bring Dong Xuebing back to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. That means this investigation on Dong Xuebing might not reach the Double Punishment level, but it is not far from the Double Punishment level.
Seems like Xiang Daofa is determined to get rid of Dong Xuebing! Are you so sure that this bro is corrupt and bribed?
Dong Xuebing sneered in his heart. Luckily, he had made preparations before he returned to Yan Tai County. If not, he might be caught off guard.
At the same time.
County Government. Hu Silian quickly knocks on Xie Huilan's office door.
"Mayor Xie, Chief Dong is brought away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection."
Xie Huilan's pen paused for a second and looked up. "… when?"
"About five minutes ago. The Commission for Discipline Inspection had gone to the County's People Hospital to bring Chief Dong Xuebing back."
"Ok. I know." Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes and continued to read the documents in her hands without saying anything else.
Hu Silian looked at Mayor Xie and wanted to say something. In the end, she closed the door and left. Hu Silian is indebted to Dong Xuebing, and it is all thanks to Dong Xuebing that she could be promoted to the Mayor's secretary. That's why she is worried about Dong Xuebing's safety. Hu Silian knows if Party Secretary Xiang and the Commission for Discipline Inspection want to investigate someone, Dong Xuebing's Mercedes Benz MPV, which is worth more than a million, will not be enough. Borrowed? As long as the assets are not from the higher-ups, the higher-ups can's Dong Xuebing's Mercedes Benz MPV, it will not be easy.
News spread. Dong Xuebing 'County's Xuebing.
Everyone knew that Secretary Xiang was going to settle the score with him.
Public Security Executive Deputy Bureau Chief Hu Yiguo, Meng Xianglin, Investment Promotion Agency Deputy Chief Lui Dafa, Ministry of Education Chief Yu Zhengzhi, and the rest are gloating over Dong Xuebing's misfortune. Those who are close to Dong Xuebing, like Hui Tian Village Station Chief Liu Dahai and a few other officers who had been saved by Dong Xuebing, were furious. How much had Chief Dong done for Yan Tai County? How much had he done for the people? Even if Dong Xuebing did not mention this, Xiang Daofa had also benefited a lot. Why are you going to make things difficult for Chief Dong just because of a failed investment? Aren't you being too narrow-minded?! What's wrong with enforcing the law? What's wrong with making so many contributions? If everyone behaves like you, who will dare to work hard in the future? This is too disappointing!
All of a sudden, everyone felt Chief Dong is finished.
… …
Commission for Discipline Inspection compound.
Two minutes later, a balding middle-aged man in his forties entered the office with a few people behind him.
Although he had not spoken to Duan Zhengan before, he had seen him from afar several times when he went to the County's Party Committee. Duan Zhengan, Yan Tai County's Party Committee Standing Committee and Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. When Chang Lei was still in office, Dong Xuebing heard Duan Zhengan is a 'Chang Lei' supporter. Although he might not follow Chang Lei's orders, he still supports Chang Lei's decisions. After the change of regime, Duan Zhengan became closer to Xiang Daofa. But Dong Xuebing heard his relationship with Xie Huilan is not strained.
"Secretary Duan." Dong Xuebing greeted.
Duan Zhengan nodded and sat opposite Dong Xuebing. He started flipping through some documents.
The rest of the leaders from the Commission for Discipline Inspection also sat down facing Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing does not like Duan Zhengan, and the Commission for Discipline Inspection's Secretary is here to question him. This shows how important he is to Dong Xuebing. The County's Party Committee Secretary Xiang Daofa and Commission for Discipline Inspection's Secretary Duan Zhengan are all top leaders in Yan Tai County. Dong Xuebing felt he should be flattered. You all really think highly of me. Why did you all send so many people to deal with a Deputy Section Chief like me?!
There was a few seconds of silence.
An old-fashioned looking young man looks at Duan Zhengan. "Secretary Duan …"
"Xiao Li." Duan Zhengan did not raise his head. "Just ask."
"Yes." Xiao Li took a deep breath and looked at Dong Xuebing. "Chief Dong, I had asked you here to check on your financial situation."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Is it compulsory?"
"You can say that."
"Alright. Go ahead. But I have something to say first."
"Huh?" Xiao Li looked at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing replied calmly. "My mother is old, and her health is not good. These few days, she was hit by a car and was threatened by someone. In the end, she suffered a heart attack. For her sake, I do not want my mother to know that I was brought to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. If anything happens …" Dong Xuebing paused for a while and continued. "You can investigate me, but don't disturb my mother. Just investigate secretly, alright?"
Xiao Li looked at Duan Zhengan. Since things had come to this point, it was necessary to ask Luan Xiaoping for a routine investigation. However, they knew Luan Xiaoping's physical condition. She had just undergone surgery, and the critical period was not over yet. Logically speaking, she couldn't take it anymore.
Duan Zhengan is not an unreasonable person and nodded.
Dong Xuebing replied. "Thank you. Ok. What do you want to know?"
A man from the Commission for Discipline Inspection was holding a pen and a notebook.
Xiao Li read a document and said, "First, I want to know your salary situation. How much is your monthly salary?"
"I don't need to tell you. You all should know. All Deputy Section Chief's salaries are about the same, and you can easily find out with a phone call. " Dong Xuebing crossed his legs and replied. "After taxes and other subsidies, the monthly income is about 4,000 RMB. Is the bonus still included? It is more than that. I had solved some big cases in the past, and the Provincial and County Government had given me some bonuses. The most I get is a few tens of thousands RMB. "
Xiao Li replied. "That means your annual salary is about 50,000 RMB."
Dong Xuebing frowned. "You are underestimating my salary. Even if you are not a government official, you should know that the monthly allowance multiplied by 12 is not the same as the annual salary. I had said before that other than the bonuses I get from solving cases, I still get bonuses from other units. My annual salary should be around 80,000 to 90,000 RMB. " Yan Tai County is a poor county, and the salaries are not as high as those first-tier cities like Beijing. But it is still much higher than those backward counties.
Xiao Li asked again. "How much is your annual salary from State Security last year?"
"The department has regulations, and this is confidential." Dong Xuebing replied. "But I am no longer in State Security, and it's fine to tell you. Before I was promoted to Deputy Chief, my monthly salary is about 2,000 RMB. After I am promoted to Deputy Chief, my monthly salary is slightly more than 3,000 RMB." Xiao Li nodded and wrote something in his notebook. They had checked Dong Xuebing's salary, and what Dong Xuebing said was true.
Dong Xuebing looked at his watch. "Stop asking questions you already know the answer. Can you get to the point? I still have a meeting at the Bureau in the afternoon. "
"Ok." Xiao Li said, "According to our preliminary calculations, in the past year or so after you graduated from university and entered the system, the salary you can get is about 100,000 yuan."
"About that."
"Then how did you get your top-of-the-line Mercedes MPV?"
Dong Xuebing shrugged his shoulders. "That is my friend's car. I had borrowed it."
"What friend?"
"He is considered a relative. When I was in Beijing, he is my neighbor and is very close. We are like family. You all can go and investigate where this Mercedes Benz came from. This car is owned by Yun De Auction Company, and I did not buy it. I still have to return it to him."
Xiao Li looked at Dong Xuebing. "Why did he lend you such an expensive car?"
"Didn't I say we are like family? What's wrong with borrowing a car?"
"What about your watch?" Xiao Li took out a picture of Dong Xuebing. It was clearly taken secretly, especially on Dong Xuebing's wrist. Dong Xuebing could clearly see the diamond-encrusted watch. "Someone had sent this report to me. This watch is from Patek Philippe, and its market value is less than 2 million RMB. Where did this watch come from? I don't think you can afford it with your salary. "
Dong Xuebing replied casually. "It is also from my friend who runs an auction house. I had borrowed it to wear."
"… is it a gift from someone?" Xiao Li asked.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I know you want me to say someone gave it to me. But it's not."
After that, the Commission for Discipline Inspection officers asked about Dong Xuebing's jade pendant and ring. These are worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, but Dong Xuebing insisted he had borrowed them. Dong Xuebing was speechless if he had to say he had borrowed the money he had bought with his hard-earned money. But stone gambling and the Chicken-Blood Stone mine were not allowed in the public. Furthermore, he had never paid taxes to the Tax Bureau for the money he earned from stone gambling in the past. If someone were to set up a scheme like this, his money would surely be classified as unknown assets. That's why Dong Xuebing cannot say anything.
After asking a few more questions, the Commission for Discipline Inspection officers did not pester Dong Xuebing and recorded everything they asked. But Dong Xuebing knew this is only the start, and the Commission for Discipline Inspection officers must be checking his accounts.
Ten minutes later, a man entered the room.
That man said something to Duan Zhengan and a few other Commission for Discipline Inspection officers before passing a document to Duan Zhengan.
Duan Zhengan looked at the document and nodded. He passed it to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li looked at the document and said. "We had contacted the bank and checked your and your mother's accounts. You have about 300,000 RMB in your bank account, and your mother has about 100,000 RMB in her bank account. The total is about 500,000 RMB. Chief Dong, with your and your mother's salary and your family background, you should not have gotten all this money through normal means. How did you get all this money?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Don't be so sure. Why can't I get it through normal means?"
Xiao Li replied impatiently, "According to our investigation, you and your mother weren't well off in Beijing. After your father passed away, you spent a lot of money on medical fees and even sold your house. Your mother's salary is less than ¥2,000. Adding your income of ¥100,000, it's impossible for you to have ¥500,000, right? Also, we had investigated your helper, Yu Meixia, was penniless in the past. But now, she has a property worth a few hundred thousand. Where did she get the money from? "
Dong Xuebing narrowed his eyes. He did not expect the other party to investigate so thoroughly. He asked. "What do you all think?"
Xiao Li replied. "You are the one who bought Yu Meixia's house, and the money is from your bribery. We can only assume this is the case. Can you tell us where you got the money from?"
"Bribery?" Dong Xuebing laughed. "You all are good at guessing."
Xiao Li had worked in the Commission for Discipline Inspection for a few years, and he had never met someone like Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing had been investigated to this extent, and he is still laughing. "Chief Dong, I hope you can give us an explanation as soon as possible. The evidence we have is only a small part of the case, and our men are still investigating. I believe it is only a matter of time before we get more evidence."
Dong Xuebing asked. "Based on what you all said, who bribed me? How did they bribe me? "
Xiao Li replied. "We are the ones asking you."
Dong Xuebing replied calmly. "You all can go and check if I had received more than 2,000 RMB as a gift during Lunar New Year. Also, when did I use my birthday as an excuse to receive money from others? I had not even celebrated my birthday before! How can anyone bribe me? " Although Dong Xuebing's money is not easy to get, he had always stayed away from corruption and bribery. Furthermore, no one had tried to bribe him. Dong Xuebing is only in charge of Hui Tian Village Station, and his authority is the lowest among all the Public Security Bureau's Deputy Bureau Chief. Even if someone wants to get help, they will not look for him!
Twenty minutes later.
Duan Zhengan's phone rang, and he walked out of his office. "Hello, Secretary Xiang."
Xiang Daofa asked. "Have you confessed?"
"Not yet. I'm afraid we can't get anything out of him." Duan Zhengan said. "But we have enough evidence, and Dong Xuebing cannot explain the source of the money. He keeps asking us questions, and the money is suspicious. The evidence we have confirmed this, and I think we can charge him with both charges."
Xiang Daofa nodded. "Continue to investigate!"
… …
Mayor's office.
Xie Huilan called Hu Silian in. "How long has Xiao Dong been at the Commission for Discipline Inspection?"
"About … about two hours?" Hu Silian asked worriedly. "Will he …"
Xie Huilan laughed and shook her head. "This brat … is he addicted to being investigated? Just ignore him. Let him stay in the Commission for Discipline Inspection if he wants to! "
Hu Silian paused for a second and noticed Mayor Xie is not worried at all.
Not only Xie Huilan is not worried, but Dong Xuebing, who is in the Commission for Discipline Inspection, is also relaxed.
Duan Zhengan and the rest of the Commission for Discipline Inspection officers are puzzled. This is an urgent situation, and this person is still so carefree. He is not nervous at all?
Is he going to be arrested?
Duan Zhengan furrowed his brows. He could sense that something was amiss and hesitated.
Suddenly, someone pushed open the door, and a Commission for Discipline Inspection officer rushed in and passed a document to Duan Zhengan. "We had found a few transactions in Chief Dong's account. Some of the transactions are small, but one of them is a huge sum."
Duan Zhengan asked. "How much?"
That officer replied. "About 4 million."
Everyone in the room took in a deep breath. 4 million? This is the most serious case in decades! The amount is too high!
Duan Zhengan asked. "What is the source of the funds?"
"This …"
"Tell me!"
That officer had a weird look on his face. "It's from Beijing Welfare Lottery Center."
"What?" Duan Zhengan was taken aback. The people around him were also taken aback.
That officer replied embarrassedly. "We had contacted Beijing Welfare Lottery Center and confirmed that Chief Dong had won the top prize of less than 5 million. After taxes, it is about 4 million."
Won the lottery?!
The top prize?!
Even Duan Zhengan was shocked. This was the first time he had encountered something like this when he was investigating the finances of the government officials.
4 million? If this is the case, then Dong Xuebing's source of funds will not be a problem. The 500,000 RMB in his bank account, the Mercedes Benz MPV, Patek Philippe, and even if Dong Xuebing did not borrow them and bought them with money or borrowed them, as long as Dong Xuebing has this source of income, everything will not be a problem. It will be hard for Dong Xuebing to make a fuss about this.
"Are you sure?" Duan Zhengan's face changed.
That officer replied. "We had confirmed it, and the Welfare Lottery Center had verified it twice."
Duan Zhengan turned and stared at Dong Xuebing. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"What do you mean earlier? You all did not ask me. " Dong Xuebing shrugged. "Also, I don't feel like I had won a big prize. I am too lucky, and I don't dare to believe it. Haha … now I remember I had won a lottery. I bought PK 10 from a lottery shop at Beijing's North Heping Street. Sigh … I was too lucky. If you all didn't mention it, I would have forgotten about it."
Xiao Li almost fainted. Forget about it? Bullshit! Who can forget winning 4 million RMB in a lottery?!
Duan Zhengan and the rest could tell Dong Xuebing is fearless from the start and did not care about the investigation. He purposely did not tell them about winning the lottery and wants the Commission for Discipline Inspection to investigate. If Dong Xuebing had told them about it from the start, they will not need to investigate his bank account and can just go to the Welfare Lottery Center to verify it.
This is f * cking awesome! This is too infuriating!
Xiao Li and the rest of the officers from the Commission for Discipline Inspection gritted their teeth!
Duan Zhengan immediately went out to report to Xiang Daofa.
After receiving the call, Xiang Daofa paused for more than ten seconds before replying. "Continue to investigate!"
Duan Zhengan understood Xiang Daofa's intention and sighed. He stood there and thought for a while before ordering his men to start investigating other areas. Dong Xuebing is rich, but that does not mean he did not take bribes or commit crimes. If they can find a breakthrough, it will be the same as investigating his bank account.
Another hour passed.
But the officers from the Commission for Discipline Inspection, who want to dig out Dong Xuebing's background, were shocked to discover Chief Dong is' clean '! Although it is an exaggeration, it is not without reason. As a government official, it is impossible for everything to be clean. But Dong Xuebing is an exception. Just like what Dong Xuebing had said, he had not even celebrated his birthday, and he had controlled the amount of gifts he received during the holidays. The Commission for Discipline Inspection did not find any large amount of gifts. Most of the reports in the letters were groundless and made up. On the other hand, although Dong Xuebing has some problems with his work style, they are not serious and cannot be used to make an issue of it.
Clean?!
Clean and tidy?
Duan Zhengan was speechless.
The officers from the Commission for Discipline Inspection were also stunned. All of them had assumed Dong Xuebing is not clean and did not expect to find out about this.
How can he be so clean?!
… …
Twenty minutes passed.
The door opened, and a Commission for Discipline Inspection officer entered. "Chief Dong, thank you for your cooperation. We had investigated, and the reports in the letters are not true."
Dong Xuebing smiled and shook his hand. "It's alright. It's all for work. I understand."
That officer replied emotionlessly. "The investigation is over. You can go back now."
"Oh." Dong Xuebing stood up and smiled. "I did not drive my car here, and I don't know how to get back. Can you get a car to send me back?"
That officer's brows twitched. "… Sure."
1.30 pm. Dong Xuebing was sent back to the County's People Hospital.
Many people who heard about this were shocked!
