Afternoon.
Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Everything was going smoothly.
With Song Fei's confession, Deputy Mayor Chu will not be able to escape. He had embezzled public funds and accepted bribes. These are enough to summon him. The Commission for Discipline Inspection has a few ways to investigate. Phone calls are the lightest, and most of the time, it's just some irrelevant questions. Another way is to call the other party over to the Commission for Discipline Inspection for "tea." This is usually a letter of complaint but no evidence. The Commission for Discipline Inspection wants to know the other party in person. The more serious way is to go to the other party's workplace for questioning. This means there is evidence against Dong Xuebing. Dong Xuebing's assets were much more than his salary in the past. The last way is to bring the other party to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. This is considered subpoena.
Dong Xuebing called Liu Hanqing over. "Old Liu, get the paperwork done and bring Xiping District's Deputy Mayor Chu over."
"Ok. I will go now." Liu Hanqing took Song Fei's confession and went to Party Secretary Zhan to apply.
Dong Xuebing sat in his office and thought for a while before calling Xie Huilan. "Huilan, it's me. How is your side?"
Xie Huilan replied calmly. "We are dealing with the aftermath of the collapse of Third High School's school building. I had just called the local Education Department to appease the parents. What about you? How much have you investigated? Never mind. The Commission for Discipline Inspection has confidentiality rules. You don't need to tell me. "
Dong Xuebing laughed. "If I don't tell you, you will make things difficult for me."
"Haha, is this how you think of me?"
"If you don't want to know, you will not ask me. You are asking me, and you still don't let me tell you. This means I must tell you. If not, I will be punished!" Dong Xuebing replied. "Actually, there is nothing to keep confidential. We had just interrogated that Song Fei and arrested him. He had confessed to Xiping District's Deputy Mayor Chu. With this information, it will be easier for us to investigate. I had asked my men to bring that Chu man over. He will be here soon."
"Song Fei confessed so quickly?"
"Yes, I used some tricks to set him up."
"Alright, hehe, you're pretty smart."
"It's not that I am smart. It's because the Commission for Discipline Inspection's working style is too rigid. Everyone is asking questions with a straight face, and it's impossible for them to get any answers. Now, I know why the Public Security Bureau's investigations progress so quickly, but when it comes to corruption cases, they take their time. Some cases might even take months or years without any progress. The Commission for Discipline Inspection's working style is too rigid. Maybe the people they are investigating are the leaders, and everyone is wary of them. That's why they are getting used to this working style. But I don't care. I used what I used when I was in the Public Security Bureau. Look, it's very effective. I didn't even say anything, and Song Fei said it himself."
Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes. "Song Fei is a businessman, and it will be easier to deal with him. But the next step is to investigate the Deputy Mayor. That won't be easy. They're all tight-lipped. "
"I know, but no matter how tight your mouth is, I still have a way to pry it open. Don't worry. Oh right, don't talk about me. Tell me about that standing committee member. Do you have a chance?"
"Hehe, it's still uncertain."
"Still uncertain? That Feng Jie is not implicated? "
"Deputy Mayor Feng should not be involved in accepting bribes. I think he doesn't have the guts to do so. That's why this incident will affect him, but it's not a big deal."
"He stopped us from investigating Third High School. Isn't this considered his responsibility?"
"But he had gone down to inspect the building personally, and no one had died."
"Heh, that means he is still the top candidate for the standing committee?"
"You can say that. Actually, the higher-ups had already decided on this."
"Just look at him … Never mind. I will think of another way!"
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing was furious. Xie Huilan wants to investigate the quality of Third High School's school buildings, but Feng Jie stopped her and said there is no evidence. After that, I went to Third High School, and the school building collapsed. I even saved Feng Jie's life and helped you clean up after your mess. Now, all my hard work is for you? I helped you reduce the number of casualties to zero? You, Feng Jie, are enjoying the fruits of my labor?! After the aftershocks, you only care about yourself and don't care about anything else! You still don't have any responsibilities? You are still waiting to be promoted to the Standing Committee?!
F * * k you!
How can there be such a good thing in the world?!
Dong Xuebing had achieved many of his goals in this trip to Third High School. He had punished Song Fei, arrested Deputy Mayor Chu, and rescued all the students from the collapsed school building. None of them died. But he did not achieve his goal of affecting Feng Jie and making him unable to compete with Xie Huilan for the position of the Standing Committee. Dong Xuebing had forgotten to consider that no one had died. That's why he was at a disadvantage now.
"Xiao Zhu! Xiao Zhu! "Dong Xuebing shouted.
Zhu Zhu immediately entered. "Director, are you looking for me?"
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and said. "Go and check Deputy Mayor Chu's phone records. I want all the calls from yesterday morning to afternoon. Go."
"Yes." Zhu Zhu went to carry out Dong Xuebing's orders.
Ten minutes later, Zhu Zhu returned with a long document from the Telecommunication Department. "This is a fax from the Telecommunication Department."
The Commission for Discipline Inspection had cooperated with many related departments and is very efficient.
Dong Xuebing looked at the document and frowned. "Where are these numbers from? Have you checked them?"
Zhu Zhu replied. "I had checked the rest of the numbers against the official documents and had marked them out. There are a few numbers that I did not have time to check. If you want all the numbers, I will go and check them."
"No need. That's enough." Dong Xuebing points to a number from 10 am. "Secretary Song, who is his secretary?"
Zhu Zhu replied. "It's Deputy Mayor Feng's secretary."
"Good job!" Dong Xuebing slapped the document. "Call Secretary Song now! Invite him over to the Commission for Discipline Inspection! "
Zhu Zhu was stunned. "Invite Secretary Song? Err … are you talking about Deputy Mayor Feng? But the evidence … "
Dong Xuebing looked at the phone records between Secretary Song and Deputy Mayor Chu. "Do you still remember when we went over, Deputy Mayor Feng and the rest had arrived? Also, many of the substandard building materials had been moved away. I suspect someone had tipped them off, and it seems that we have found the culprit. "
Zhu Zhu wanted to say something but hesitated.
Dong Xuebing said. "Just say it."
Zhu Zhu was puzzled. "Secretary Song might be informing Deputy Mayor Chu that Deputy Mayor Feng will be coming for an inspection. That's why he made this call. But this doesn't mean anything. Also, I heard that Deputy Mayor Feng had said during the Mayor's meeting that he will send his men to investigate the tip-off. That's why Deputy Mayor Feng had gone to Third High School …"
Dong Xuebing laughed and pointed to the phone. "Look at the duration of the call. It's 8 minutes. Do you think a Deputy Mayor's secretary needs to call his men for an inspection? There must be something fishy going on. Secretary Song must have hinted something to him. "
Zhu Zhu finally understood. "Oh, I see."
"Go and invite them. Hurry!"
"Ok."
Dong Xuebing was in high spirits. He walked out of the office and saw Luo Haiting in the corridor. He called out to her. "Director Luo, Deputy Mayor Feng's secretary will be coming over in a while. You will be in charge." Dong Xuebing instructed her.
… …
At the same time.
Deputy Mayor Chu, who had been feeling uneasy the whole day, received a call. It was an unknown number.
"Hello." It was a middle-aged man. "Someone asked me to pass you a message. Song Fei had exposed you, and the people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection should be at your door. Secretary Song had also been informed by the Commission for Discipline Inspection."
Deputy Mayor Chu had thought of this possibility, but he still took a deep breath when he heard it.
That person said. "Your position will be gone for sure. But you are still young, and you still have the chance to make a comeback. Even if you don't care about yourself, you should think about your family. That's why you should know what you can and cannot say when you are at the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Especially that phone call. Understand?"
"I … understand."
"Good. The more you say, the more responsibilities you will have. You should know this, and I will not say anything else. That's all."
Deputy Mayor Chu put down his phone and was in a daze.
In fact, even without this phone call, Deputy Mayor Chu was not prepared to say much. He still knew his limits. If he kept his mouth shut, he would still have a chance to live. At least even if he went to jail, there would still be someone above him who would remember his kindness and take care of his family.
Suddenly, the door opened, and Liu Hanqing entered with his staff. "Commission for Discipline Inspection! Are you Deputy Mayor Chu? Come with us. "
… …
Afternoon, 2 pm.
Commission for Discipline Inspection. An office.
Dong Xuebing passed a document to Deputy Mayor Chu. "Take a look at it yourself. Two months ago, Song Fei had given you a bribe. The time and location are stated. There are also some construction contracts and bank transfer records. We had verified with the relevant departments. What else do you have to say?"
Deputy Mayor Chu did not say a word.
"That means you admit it? Can I understand it this way? "Dong Xuebing asked.
Deputy Mayor Chu did not say a word and looked down at his feet.
Dong Xuebing nodded. "One more thing. Before the school building collapsed yesterday morning, you had received a call from Secretary Song. Did he hint something to you?"
Deputy Mayor Chu frowned. "Nothing."
"Nothing. What did he call?"
"He said Mayor Feng is coming for an inspection."
"Haha, he is coming for an inspection? Is there a need to speak for 8 minutes? "
"Secretary Song had told me about the leader's schedule. That's why I spoke for so long. Is there a problem with this? Who set a rule that calls cannot exceed 8 minutes? "
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Alright. Let's leave it at that."
Ning Shaoyang, Zhu Zhu, and the rest were stunned. They did not expect Chief Dong to give up so quickly.
