Before noon.
The City's Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Dong Xuebing had just hung up on Li Taibo's call when the phone on his desk rang. It was the City's Commission for Discipline Inspection's second-in-command, Xiao Bin.
"Did the Monitoring Office mention Wan Sichao's report?" Xiao Bin asked angrily.
"Yes." Dong Xuebing's eyes flashed. "Wan Sichao is very problematic."
Xiao Bin replied. "What's the problem? Tell me!"
Dong Xuebing replied. "He is involved in 6 to 7 cases of rape and molestation."
"Since your Monitoring Office is in charge of criminal cases?" Xiao Bin raised his voice.
Dong Xuebing replied coldly. "I feel that since the victims had reported him to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, then it must be related to us. Also, Wan Sichao is a government official, and he has a bad lifestyle. I think we must investigate him and give the victims an explanation. These kinds of cases will be related to money and bribery, and we cannot treat this as a criminal case. Chief Xiao, have you heard about the TV station's Qu Yunxuan being raped by Wan Sichao and was forced to jump off a building? Wan Sichao's investigation had been delayed for a few years, and if we do not investigate now, more victims will be killed by him in the future! "
Xiao Bin ignored him. "If you want to investigate, you must report to me first!"
"Chief Xiao, this is an urgent matter. We … …"
"If we want to investigate, it should be the Xi Ping District's Commission for Discipline Inspection. Since when did the Monitoring Office shift its focus to the District Government?"
"From these reports, it's very likely that there are cadres at or above the deputy division level who are helping Wan Sichao 'cover up' and help him get away with the crime. As I said, this matter can't be viewed as a simple criminal case. It may involve corruption, bribery, and many other violations of the cadres' discipline."
"Maybe? Maybe? Where is the evidence? "
Dong Xuebing was furious when he heard this. Evidence? If we don't investigate, where will we get the evidence? Oh, so the Monitoring Office's job is to sleep in the office and wait for the evidence to come to us? What's the point of the Commission for Discipline Inspection?! All of us should just go home and sleep!
"Is Qu Yunxuan's case not enough?"
"The Public Security is still investigating this case! Let's talk after the investigation is completed! If the Monitoring Office wants to investigate Wan Sichao, we must report to the higher-ups first! That's all! "
Beep, beep, beep. The call ended.
Dong Xuebing threw the phone on the floor angrily, and the pressure on his shoulders increased.
Dong Xuebing does not know what Xiao Bin's relationship with Secretary Wan is, but he knows what Xiao Bin is worried about and what the Commission for Discipline Inspection leaders are afraid of. Even if Xiao Bin and Secretary Wan are not close, Dong Xuebing will not let the First Supervision Office investigate this case. If the First Supervision Office starts investigating, it will be the same as the City's Commission for Discipline Inspection. The Commission for Discipline Inspection leaders are afraid Secretary Wan will misunderstand the Commission for Discipline Inspection is trying to start a rebellion against him. Of course, it was more likely that Xiao Bin was in cahoots with Secretary Wan. Perhaps he was trying to curry favor with the higher-ups, so it was even more impossible to investigate Wan Sichao!
This bunch of bastards!
We still need to wait for Aunt Xuan to be investigated? Sure! I'll wait and see!
Let's see how you're going to protect Wan Sichao when the time comes!
…
In the afternoon.
The office was off duty.
Dong Xuebing drove out of the City's Party Committee. Before he left, he took a look at the City's office building. Could the person covering for Wan Sichao be Secretary Wan? But Dong Xuebing felt it was impossible. Secretary Wan should not know about what Wan Sichao had done over the years, or he was not sure if his nephew would do such things. Those exonerations and perjury should be from his subordinates trying to curry favor with the higher-ups. That's why Wan Sichao could get away with the law and become more arrogant. Dong Xuebing had seen this happen many times.
But this time, Wan Sichao will not be able to escape. He had chosen Liu Yang Hotel as a public place to commit the crime. There were too many witnesses, and there was too much evidence.
Dong Xuebing drove all the way to Liu Yang Hotel.
This hotel is not far from the City's Party Committee Compound, and Dong Xuebing had to pass by this place to get to the Emergency Center.
But when Dong Xuebing was about to drive to the hospital to visit Qu Yunxuan, he frowned and braked by the roadside. He looked at the four-story building with the signboard of Liu Yang Hotel. Yesterday's incident had happened, and this place was still open for business. Many people were walking in and out of the building, and some were pointing at the blood stains on the ground. They were discussing about Aunt Xuan jumping off the building yesterday.
What happened?
You all are open for business? You all still dare to open for business?
Dong Xuebing alighted from his car and walked into the restaurant.
Inside, the owner, Xu Dabing, was greeting a few guests. "It's been a while since you all came here."
One of the guests asked. "Mr. Xu, are you going to give us a discount?"
"Sure. I will pay for all your drinks today. Haha." Xu Dabing laughed.
Another guest asked. "Old Xu, I heard something happened to your hotel yesterday?"
Xu Dabing sighed. "We are also unlucky. A woman had drunk too much and jumped out of the window. We had to close for the whole day and suffered heavy losses."
Dong Xuebing heard what Xu Dabing said. He laughed. "You are the owner?"
Xu Dabing was stunned. "Yes."
Dong Xuebing stared at him. "Who asked you all to close for business?"
Before Xu Dabing could say anything, a few officers came down from upstairs. One of them was about 1.9 meters tall. When he saw Dong Xuebing, he was surprised. "Chief Dong, you are here?"
Dong Xuebing looked at him. "Li Taibo?"
Xu Dabing blinked. Chief Dong? That Dong Xuebing?
The Team Leader of the Criminal Investigation Team, Li Taibo nodded and looked at the surrounding guests. "It's not convenient here. Chief Dong, let's talk upstairs."
The upstairs was still sealed, and only the downstairs was open for business.
Dong Xuebing looked at Xu Dabing in the empty corridor on the second floor. "I will remember what you said earlier. Yunxuan had drunk too much and jumped off the building? Fine. You are right. "
Xu Dabing felt guilty, but he did not know what Dong Xuebing was talking about.
Li Taibo explained. "Qu Yunxuan is Chief Dong's cousin."
Xu Dabing was shocked. He quickly shut his mouth and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Dong Xuebing looked at the few officers. "This case is not over, and you all can open for business?"
Li Taibo pointed to the fourth floor. "The crime scene on the fourth floor had been secured. But there is no need to do so now. We had investigated the case this afternoon."
"What's the result?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Li Taibo paused for a while and said something shocking. "There is insufficient evidence. Our initial judgment is that Qu Yunxuan had drunk too much and fell from the building. It has nothing to do with Wan Sichao."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Say that again? I didn't hear you clearly. "
Li Taibo looked at Dong Xuebing and said calmly. "Based on our investigation, Qu Yunxuan and Wan Sichao had dinner together in a private room on the fourth floor of Liu Yang Hotel. Many witnesses saw them. But before the incident, Wan Sichao had left the room. Qu Yunxuan had jumped off the building after Wan Sichao had left. That's why we concluded this is not a criminal case."
Dong Xuebing's heart was about to explode. "Left? Where did he go? Where is his car? Did his car appear on the surveillance cameras at the nearby intersections? "
Li Taibo replied calmly. "He did not drive and had gone out to buy alcohol. XO. There are no alcohol in this area, and Wan Sichao had gone out to buy it. He walked towards the opposite street. We had checked the CCTV footage, and there are no CCTV cameras on that street."
"Who saw him go out?"
Li Taibo looked at the restaurant owner. "Mr. Xu and two of the restaurant's staff had testified."
Dong Xuebing understood what was going on and looked at Xu Dabing. "You are giving false testimony?"
Xu Dabing swallowed his saliva and replied. "I had really seen Chief Wan leaving to buy alcohol before the incident. Chief Wan is our regular customer, and I had greeted him at that time."
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "Good! Good! "
Li Taibo replied slowly. "Chief Dong, we also know you might not accept this result. But this is the truth. Of course, we did not say Qu Yunxuan had made a false report. She was drunk at that time, and it's normal for her to hallucinate."
Dong Xuebing sneered. "Who told you she was drunk? She did not touch a single drop of alcohol last night! Where did she go to be drunk?! Can you tell me?! "
Li Taibo shook his head. "Qu Yunxuan's injuries were too serious at the time of the incident. When we arrived at the scene, the ambulance had already sent her to the hospital. We did not do a breathalyzer test. If we do a breathalyzer test now … it had been a day, and the alcohol would have dissipated."
"Then how can you accuse my cousin of being drunk?"
"When we arrived at the scene, we could smell alcohol on her."
"Wan Sichao had been drinking! He tore Qu Yunxuan's clothes! He hit Qu Yunxuan at close range! Do you think my cousin could not smell alcohol on her? "
Li Taibo looked at Dong Xuebing and said. "Guessing cannot be used as evidence. Wan Sichao had an alibi, and the investigation concluded that Qu Yunxuan had jumped off the building voluntarily. That's why all the witnesses and evidence showed that Wan Sichao had nothing to do with this case."
"Is the case closed?"
"It can be closed now."
Good!
That was f * cking great!
Dong Xuebing looked at each of them and nodded. "Team Leader Li, Boss Xu, I will remember what you all said today. I hope you all will be responsible for your actions and will not regret it in the future." Dong Xuebing took out a small notebook and wrote down a few names in front of them.
Wan Sichao! Li Taibo! Xu Dabing!
Li Taibo frowned. What is the meaning of this?
Xu Dabing's face changed.
Dong Xuebing will not let off anyone who was involved in this incident and helped Wan Sichao to frame Qu Yunxuan!
