During the conversation with Yu Liangtanghua, Chen Guitian learned that the anti-gang and evil operation they carried out in Xinlang County this time did not have any sudden cases as a lead, and there were no reports from the masses. It was purely an arrangement arranged by the municipal party committee and the government. Strike action.
Moreover, judging from the interrogation of the captured Gong Zhichao's men, they have not committed any particularly bad or obvious illegal and criminal behavior in recent years. Some of the illegal and criminal evidence involved is loan sharking, There were fights, and people were sent to threaten and follow the debtors.
Moreover, even these behaviors were not very excessive: loan sharking, the interest rate was about five cents per month, not much more; fights, there were no injuries or deaths, the most serious one was just beating people to death Slight injuries; to follow the debtor, they only send some of their ponies to follow the debtor to work or stay at their home, which does not restrict the debtor's personal freedom.
The only serious crime committed by these people is the possession of firearms, ammunition and controlled knives.
Moreover, Liang Tanghua also told Chen Guitian in a matter-of-fact manner: Through the investigation and interviews of the people by the task force, many people in Xinlang County have no ill feelings towards Gong Zhichao, nor do they think their gang is so arrogant.
Many ordinary people who were surveyed said that they only knew that Gong Zhichao had opened many companies, made a lot of money, was very loyal, and had good relationships with many people in government departments.
Some people who had put money in Gong Zhichao's investment company even defended Gong Zhichao in unison, saying that he was a very trustworthy person and was very responsible for every deposit placed in their investment company, not only paying interest on the deposit on time. Moreover, once a depositor has an emergency at home and needs to withdraw his deposit in advance, he will instruct his subordinates to pay the deposit in time, and sometimes he will pay one to two months more interest to the depositor to help them tide over the difficulties...
After listening to Liang Tanghua's introduction to Gong Zhichao, Chen Guitian showed a thoughtful expression on his face and said slowly: "Old Liang, it seems that Director Guo's analysis is correct: Gong Zhichao may be a successful businessman with certain influence in society. He also has certain power and strength, but this time your K City Party Committee and Municipal Government want to treat him as the leader of the evil forces, investigate and crack down on him, which is a bit excessive and excessive.
"I think that the K City Party Committee and Municipal Government arranged this anti-gang and anti-evil operation against Gong Zhichao. The most likely reason is that Gong Zhichao offended someone. Moreover, the person he offended is probably powerful enough to influence It depends on the decision-making of your K City Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. Otherwise, the things that Gong Zhichao and his men have done will not be enough to trigger such a special campaign to crack down on gangs and eliminate evil.
"What's more, although Gong Zhichao and others are suspected of forming a gang, their gang has not committed any evil or oppressed good people, nor has it caused great public outrage. For a gang like this, we cannot simply assume that they are Triad gangs cannot be labeled as evil forces just by the instructions and will of some leaders. I don’t know whether Director Liang agrees with this view of mine,"
Liang Tanghua knew that Chen Guitian came on the order of Director Guo, and the views he just mentioned were probably Director Guo's instructions. Therefore, although he was still a little worried about how to explain to the main leaders of K City, he Still nodded and said: "Captain Chen, I agree with all of your views. In fact, I can't help myself. Regarding the decisions of the municipal party committee and government, I can't help but implement them. So, for this reason of mine, , I hope Captain Chen can explain it to Director Guo,"
In the next two days, Chen Guitian led several members of the inspection team to first review all the case files of the anti-gang and anti-evil crime case in Xinlang County, and carefully read the confessions of Tie Tuo and others. Then, Chen Guitian personally went to the suburbs of the city. The First Detention Center interrogated Tie Tuo and other four people, and they became more confident: This Gong Zhichao may have been a gangster boss in the past, but now, neither he nor his men have committed any new crimes, especially Gong Zhichao. In the past few years, he has rarely participated in the fighting and killing in the world, and he has never engaged in the usual profit-making activities of the evil forces such as opening casinos, organizing women for prostitution, drug trafficking, etc. Every one of his companies and every business is legitimate. According to the rules and regulations, he is innocent. If we want to characterize him as the leader and chief criminal of the evil forces, it is indeed an injustice to him.
After coming to this conclusion, he proposed to Liang Tanghua: convene the members of the task force and the Municipal Bureau Party Committee members to hold a case analysis meeting to conduct a preliminary characterization of the case of Gong Zhichao's gang and determine the next action.
At the case analysis meeting, Chen Guitian first clarified his point of view. The central meaning is: Gong Zhichao's gang does exist, but their gang has not caused any harm to society, and has not amassed money by illegal means or collected protection fees. , there was no bullying of the people, no harm to innocent people, no large-scale fights over territory... More importantly, their group did not cause public anger or cause social instability, so they were classified as gangsters. Evil gangs have no basis and are relatively arbitrary.
Therefore, the illegal and criminal acts involving several of Gong Zhichao's subordinates can only be dealt with as individual cases. Their criminal acts shall each bear the punishment they deserve, and their illegal and criminal acts cannot be blamed on their boss Gong Zhichao. body, and let him bear their sins as well.
Next, Liang Tanghua also made a speech, expressing his support for Captain Chen's opinion. The Gong Zhichao gang cannot be classified as an evil gang. Starting today, the task force against Gong Zhichao's gang has been officially cancelled. The secret surveillance of Gong Zhichao and others has also been suspended. Officially cancelled, Tie Tuo and other four people who have been found to have committed illegal and criminal acts will be immediately transferred to the procuratorate after the investigation is completed. They will be arrested in accordance with legal procedures and sentenced by the court according to the crime...
As soon as he said this, Gu Yixin, political commissar of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, suddenly stood up and said with a livid face: "Captain Chen, Director Liang, I firmly disagree with your characterization of the Gong Zhichao case just now. The Gong Zhichao case was personally deployed by the municipal party committee and the government. The investigation was arranged to be the first case of our anti-gang and evil campaign in K City. Regarding this case, Secretary Zhou Tong and Mayor Ji Yufei had special instructions. I would like to ask Director Liang: You have changed the characterization of this case without authorization. , and cancel the task force. Have you reported it to the municipal party committee and the municipal government in advance? If you do this, where does the authority of the municipal party committee and municipal government lie?"
