On the night of Li Weijun's escape, the City Commission for Discipline Inspection's secret investigation team immediately called for an emergency meeting. They invited Zhou Youliang and Lu Tao from the Taolin County Public Security Bureau to attend. The topic of the meeting was to discuss how to deal with Li Weijun's escape.
The meeting was chaired by the head of the investigation team, Wang Xiong. At the beginning of the meeting, Wang Xiong said in a very self-reproachful tone, "Comrades, first of all, I would like to make a self-criticism. As the head of the investigation team for Li Weijun's illegal activities, I lacked the necessary vigilance and foresight. I didn't predict the possibility of Li Weijun's escape, nor did I take the necessary monitoring and prevention measures. As a result, he easily slipped away from our eyes. This is a major dereliction of duty on my part. Tomorrow, I will make a thorough self-criticism to the Municipal Committee and the Standing Committee for Discipline Inspection.
"We have been secretly investigating Li Weijun's case for more than ten days and have obtained some clues and evidence. However, these clues and evidence are not solid enough, so I have been hesitant and didn't take any measures to deal with him in time. This is also a dereliction of duty on my part. This morning, when I learned that Li Weijun was missing, I immediately rushed from Songshan to Taolin to ask the County Public Security Bureau to assist us in investigating Li Weijun's escape, as well as his escape route and destination. After several hours of hard work by the County Public Security Bureau, we have found some clues. Next, I would like to invite Comrade Zhou Youliang from the County Public Security Bureau to tell us the results of their investigation. "
Zhou Youliang opened a folder in front of him and said, "Starting from this afternoon, our County Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Team used all kinds of technical means to investigate Li Weijun's whereabouts before he escaped, his phone call records, and the images recorded by various surveillance cameras after he escaped. The basic information is as follows:
"First, according to the information provided by Dalong Town's cadres and insiders, Li Weijun escaped at around 12: 30 a.m. on October 19th. According to the two village party secretaries who played cards with him that night, Li Weijun, the two village party secretaries, and a business owner started to play 'firecracker penalty' cards at 8 pm on October 18th. At around 11: 30 pm, Li Weijun went outside to receive a call. The call lasted for about half an hour. At around 12 o 'clock, Li Weijun finished the call and returned to the mahjong room. He said that he had to rush back to the county and borrowed all the cash from the other three mahjong players.
"We checked all the surveillance videos on the road from Dalong Town to the county and found that Li Weijun's car didn't return to the county. Then, we checked the surveillance videos on the highway toll station and found that Li Weijun passed through the toll station at around 12: 31 a.m. and fled in the southwest direction. Then, we contacted the highway traffic police and asked them to check Li Weijun's escape route. The traffic police reported to us after checking the CCTV: Li Weijun's car left the highway at the next toll booth and entered the neighboring county. He never appeared on the highway again.
"After we got the feedback from the highway traffic police, we immediately contacted the Public Security Bureau of the neighboring county and asked them to investigate Li Weijun's whereabouts. After watching the surveillance video, the police reported the situation to us: On the 19th, around 1: 30 AM, Li Weijun's car entered the city from the toll booth of the highway. Near the central square, Li Weijun parked his car in the underground parking lot of the square. Then, he walked out and used three bank cards to withdraw ¥60,000 from an ATM of the Agricultural Bank nearby. Then, he walked to the west side of the square and didn't appear on the CCTV footage again.
"So, we deduced that Li Weijun abandoned his car in the neighboring county and rented a car to escape to the southwest in order to avoid being stopped. Based on his escape route, we speculated that Li Weijun wanted to take a car to the southwest border and then sneak out of the country to hide in a Southeast Asian country. We have asked the Public Security Bureau of the neighboring county to investigate whether Li Weijun rented a car and rushed to the southwest on the night of the 19th of October. However, this investigation is a lot of work and Li Weijun's rented car is probably illegal, so it will be more difficult to investigate. So, it will take a few days for the results to come out. "
Xie Benzhu asked anxiously, "Director Zhou, who did Li Weijun talk to on the phone before he escaped? This is also a key question. With the current level of criminal investigation technology, it shouldn't be hard to find out, right? "
Zhou Youliang smiled bitterly. "Secretary Xie, you think too simply. The person who talked to Li Weijun on the night of the 18th of October must be the one who instigated him to escape. According to our deductions, this person should be very close to Li Weijun and have a lot of influence on him to be able to persuade him to escape in the middle of the night. Do you think such a person would let you find out his real identity through a phone call? In fact, Li Weijun made two phone calls on the 18th of October between 11: 30 and 12: 00. One was answered, and the other was made by himself.
"According to our investigation, the call Li Weijun made was from a local phone number in Songshan. This number has never been used before, and the SIM card was made with a fake ID. After the call with Li Weijun, this number couldn't be traced anymore, so the SIM card was probably destroyed. As for the person who took the initiative to call Li Weijun, we don't know. But one thing is for sure: this person is the one who instigated Li Weijun to escape.
"After receiving that mysterious call, Li Weijun immediately called Luo Qiulin, the Secretary of the Taolin County Party Committee. In the afternoon, we checked with Secretary Luo, and he said that he did receive a call from Li Weijun at 11: 00 p.m. on the 18th of October. But it was a call to ask for leave, and the call lasted only a minute. At that time, Li Weijun said that he had to go to the provincial capital early the next morning to deal with an urgent matter, so he couldn't attend a meeting hosted by Secretary Luo on the morning of the 19th. He asked for leave from Secretary Luo. Because this kind of situation had happened before, Secretary Luo didn't think much of it and approved his request. Secretary Luo blamed himself for this and said that he was too careless. He didn't expect Li Weijun to be preparing to escape, and he didn't ask him in detail about the urgent matter. If he had asked more questions, he might have realized Li Weijun's intention. "
When Xie Benzhu, Lu Tao and the others heard the last few words, their faces showed sarcasm and disbelief. They all had the same thought: Luo Qiulin was acting! Even if he wasn't the instigator, he definitely knew about Li Weijun's escape. Li Weijun's call to him definitely wasn't to ask for leave, but to do something else. However, there was no evidence linking him to Li Weijun's escape, and he was the current Secretary of the Taolin County Party Committee. Although everyone was suspicious, they couldn't say it out loud. They could only pretend to believe him.
