Chapter 187: After the Fact

istrate Fang Ye himself. 。It's perfectly normal for the county magistrate to meet with the director of agriculture, after all, there is a clear leadership relationship in their work, and Xiao Zheng d...The County Public Security Bureau Director Ma Hao and the Town Police Station Chief Qin Pei were taken away, causing a huge shock within the county public security system and even the city public security system. 。Among the county's government officials, the influence is also quite strong. 。The atmosphere throughout the entire county suddenly became solemn. 。After Xiao Jingyu arrived in An County, the cadres who went in ranged from section-level to department-level. Which one was this Many leaders were counting on their fingers behind closed doors! Although these people who went in had all committed crimes and taken money, which few cadres within this system were completely clean Some leaders whose bottoms weren't clean but hadn't been discovered couldn't help but feel a little anxious. 。In the director's office at the county agricultural bureau, Director Chen Guangming felt a bit uneasy. 。What bothered him was that the precinct now had a small vault. 。Chen Guangming usually spends money on entertaining guests, buying cigarettes, alcohol, and tea, or sending gift cards to superiors, all from this small treasury. Of course, it's not just Chen Guangming who uses it; the members of his team all have a share. However, middle-level officials and ordinary cadres are not eligible to touch it. 。Chen Guangming hadn't really thought much of this matter before, but after Xiao Jingyu rose to power, he had dealt with several leaders in succession. Could the small treasury within his own bureau be a hidden danger

Chen Guangming called his office director, Xie Yong, over. 。Xie Yong was cultivated by Chen Guangming, and Xie Yong is also very grateful to Chen Guangming. He has always obeyed Chen Guangming's words and acted according to his instructions. He does his work very carefully and thoughtfully, which has earned him Chen Guangming's trust. 。After Xie Yong entered the room, Chen Guangming said to him, "You locked the office door. I want to discuss something with you." 。"Oh, well" 。"Xie Yongzhong locked the door again. “Director Chen, if there’s anything, please tell me.” 。Chen Guangming said: "Recently, the county has tightened up on clean governance. Our bureau's account... could there be a problem" It goes without saying that Chen Guangming was referring to the bureau's slush fund, although they both understood each other implicitly. 。Xie Yong scratched his temples and said, "Come on Our account has been around for quite a while, even before Director Chen's predecessor. And it's not just Director Chen who uses this account; all the members of the team are involved. We collectively decided on this." 。The saying goes, "the law doesn't punish the multitude," I think it shouldn't be a problem. 。Chen Guangming looked at Xie Yong, then glanced out the window, and nodded: “What you said makes sense.” 。Xie Yong knew Chen Guangming was reluctant to just shut down the small vault, so he said: "Director Chen, please rest assured, I think there will definitely be no problem." 。"

Chen Guangming nodded: "Okay, there's nothing else." 。Xie Yong asked, “Director Chen, the Golden Week holiday is coming soon. Our office has prepared some festival items for the team members, and we have also arranged some fine wine and spirits for you personally. They will all be paid from this account, right”

This happens every year. If there wasn't any this year, not only would the team members be unhappy, but my wife Sun Wenmin would probably give me a hard time. 。Chen Guangming sighed softly and said, "Alright, let's start with the account." 。The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection took away Ma Hao, the director of the county Public Security Bureau, and Qin Pei, the head of the police station, but did not take away Fang Ye, the county magistrate. 。The reason is that a county magistrate, in Jiangzhong, is a provincial-level cadre. To move him, it would have to be the provincial Discipline Inspection Commission that takes action. 。To this end, Gao Cheng'an adopted a cautious and steady approach. 。First, the city Discipline Inspection Commission should take Ma Hao and Qin Pei directly for investigation to uncover clues, and then provide them to the provincial Discipline Inspection Commission. The provincial Discipline Inspection Commission will decide whether to investigate Fang Ye as well. 。In fact, since Gao Chenghan took office, he has received quite a few letters and visits from grassroots level, all reflecting the same issue with Fang Ye. 。Many ordinary people don't know that a county magistrate is an official under the provincial government, they only know that a county is subordinate to a city, so they think the county magistrate is under the control of the city. Thus, they keep writing letters to the secretaries of the municipal party committee and the municipal disciplinary inspection commission. 。To be honest, Gao Chenghan hasn't received a single letter so far with evidence that could be substantial enough to launch an investigation into the other party. 。After all, as a county magistrate, his usual work circle and social circle are already beyond the reach of ordinary people, let alone understanding them. 。To obtain conclusive evidence against the target, there are only two paths: First, the briber personally reports and provides substantial clues. Second, close associates of the target from both their work circle and personal life confess. These individuals are the ones who have a deep understanding of the target's private affairs. 。

Now we have firsthand testimony from the briber herself, Lin Xiaofeng. Her ledger records how much money she gave to Fang Yetong, but it also notes that Song Guoming always helped collect the bribes on Fang Yetong's behalf. Fang Yetong never received the money or gifts in person from Lin Xiaofeng. 。For this, Gao Chenghan also specially called Xiao Jingyu to ask her to ask someone to verify with Song Guoming. 。Xiao Jingyu also asked the county Discipline Inspection Commission to verify with Song Guoming, but unexpectedly, Song Guoming admitted that he had taken the money on behalf of others, but he did not give it to Fang Yethong, but kept it for himself, so Fang Yethong was unaware of this. 。Without a doubt, Song Guoming just wants to protect Fang Yeqing. 。In Song Guoming's view, as long as Fang Yethong was kept safe, he would still have hope once he came out. 。They are a vested interest as one, like if one wall of a building collapses it doesn't matter, as long as the load-bearing walls are intact, it can still stand firm. 。。If the bribe giver's own confession cannot be relied upon, then we can only rely on the testimonies of those who are closely connected to them through work and social circles. 。Then, Gao Cheng'an instructed his subordinates to intensify their efforts against Ma Hao and Qin Pei. 。The chief of the police station admired his own problems, which were quickly verified and investigated. 。According to Lin Xiaofeng's ledger records, the municipal Discipline Inspection Commission retrieved her bank account and her wife's bank account, and quickly matched them. 。Within one to two days after Lin Xiaofeng recorded sending red envelopes in her account book, and at most within a week, Chimp's and his wife's bank accounts would receive a sum of money. Some amounts matched Lin Xiaofeng's records, while others exceeded them. 。This is enough to prove that the admiration was received in exchange for a red envelope, and it's also enough to prove that Lin Xiaofeng's ledger is authentic and not fabricated. 。Gao Cheng han also instructed his subordinates to verify Ma Hao, the County Public Security Bureau chief's acceptance of red envelopes using the same method. He also retrieved bank account information for Ma Hao and his wife but found no deposits matching the records in Lin Xiaofeng's notebook. 。This is getting strange. Where did Ma Hao's money go

So they widened the scope of their investigation into bank records to include Ma Hao's son and parents. They thought they would find something, but came up empty-handed. 。In the review talk with Ma Hao, Ma Hao denied receiving bribes, claiming he was being framed and asked the organization to uphold justice!

Framed Are you kidding me 。Gao Cheng also wouldn't believe that Ma Hao was innocent. Under Ma Hao's rule, even the people in his subordinate police stations and bureaus were unbelievably bold. With such corruption at the lower levels, there had to be problems at the top as well. 。But regardless of Fang Ye or Ma Hao, it seems their alertness is very high, and usual precautionary measures have been taken to the point of being airtight!

Since the city Discipline Inspection Commission took Ma Hao away for investigation, they haven't obtained any substantial evidence that could convict him so far. This has also put Gao Chenghan in a difficult position. 。

The county magistrate, Fang, also became increasingly active after Ma Hao was taken away. He had the deputy mayor Wu Chuanyang and Zhao Gongjing, the director of the municipal people's congress, indirectly inquire about the details of the investigation. 。Wu Chuanyang, Zhao Gongjing and others have long been closely connected with Fang Ye. Seeing that Gao Chenghan couldn't readily say that Ma Hao's case had made a breakthrough, they knew Gao Chenghan was facing difficulties. So the two began to plead for Ma Hao, saying that Ma Hao was actually a good person, responsible in his work and strong in overall awareness. Wasn't it because he offended people by being strict in enforcing the law at work that he was framed They requested the city Discipline Inspection Commission to clarify the facts for the cadres. 。In this situation, Gao Chenghan couldn't say for sure that Ma Hao was guilty. He could only hum and haw in response to the常務副市長 Wu Chuan yang and the市人大主任 Zhao Gongjing, finding an excuse to leave after a few perfunctory words. 。But Gao Chenghan's heart was never truly at ease. 。That day at a city-wide conference, Gao Chenghan saw Xiao Jingyu attending as well. After the meeting, he said to Xiao Jingyu, "Come sit with me." 。Office of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection 。Gao Chenghan told Xiao Jingyu that they couldn't find conclusive evidence of Ma Hao taking bribes. 。Xia Jingyu felt that this matter originated from An County, and she should also worry about and solve the difficulties for the secretary of the municipal party committee's discipline inspection commission. 。She therefore seriously discussed many possibilities with Gao Cheng Han. Some options had already been tried by other municipal discipline inspection commissions and yielded no results, while others were not very feasible. 。The sun gradually set, and they hadn't come up with any solution. 。Members of the Discipline Inspection Committee's office knocked on the door. Knowing Gao Chenghan had guests, they asked: "Secretary Gao, how is dinner arranged for tonight At the cafeteria or outside"

Gao Chenghan said to Xiao Jingyu, "Secretary Xiao, why don't we just stay and have a simple meal together tonight" At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Xiao Jingyu's mind, and he said: "Secretary Gao, I have a suggestion, but you might think it's not very reliable >>>" 。Gao Cheng said: "The key is, Xiao Shujì, do you think it's reliable If you think it's reliable, you might as well say it." 。After thinking for a moment, Xiao Jingyu finally made up his mind and said, “Gao Shuji, my suggestion is to invite Tianhuang Town Mayor Xiao Zheng over to discuss this together.” 。"Gao Chenghan was a little surprised: "Xiao Zheng Could he come up with a way" Gao Chenghan had a good impression of Xiao Zheng from Tianhuang Town, but breaking the case was a very specialized job. Xiao Zheng was just a town head, what could he possibly help with this

However, Xiao Jingyu insisted: "Xiao Zheng has come into contact with Qin Pei and Ma Hao, so he might know something about the situation." 。

At the same time, this person sometimes has very active thinking.

In actual work, he came up with creative suggestions for several things. 。Gao Chenghan, after hearing Xiao Jingyu's words, pondered for a moment, then said: “Then you tell him to come over. Just say I’m treating him to a meal!” tea for everyone. The leaders who had just rushed from the *site* hadn't eaten or drunk anything all afternoon and evening, and their lips were starting to peel. 。On the county committee side, Secre...
