Chapter 369 [Entrance Point]

Meng Zonggui was shocked when he heard that the Finance Department was stolen and was in a cold sweat. He was just in line with an old saying, "There is no difference between good fortune and misfortune, and there are many things happening in Fengze No. 1 Middle School. After receiving the news, Meng Zonggui hurried to the school. The police were investigating the scene, and the criminal police captain Qiu Jinzhu was responsible for commanding and dispatching the scene.

The head of the Finance Section Du Yuli arrived before Meng Zonggui. After the police completed the on-site photo collection, Qiu Jinzhu personally accompanied Du Yuli to check and count the losses on the scene. Du Yuli carefully checked the room and finally arrived at the safe. She saw that the safe was not pried open and breathed a sigh of relief: "Captain Qiu, I think nothing important should be lost."

Qiu Jinzhu said: "Open the safe and check it!"

Du Yuli said: "No, the safe has not been moved!"

Qiu Jinzhu smiled and said, "Chief Du, the thieves are very powerful nowadays. They can crack the password of the safe, and stole the things inside without knowing it. If you don't open the safe, we will not be able to investigate the whole matter clearly. If you lose something, I will not be responsible!"

Du Yuli was skeptical about Qiu Jinzhu's words, but after all, she was unsure and still opened the safe. Everything inside was there. What surprised everyone was that there was 50,000 yuan in cash in the safe, which obviously violated the relevant financial system.

Du Yuli checked the safe and felt relieved: "There should be a lot of things!" When she wanted to close the safe, Qiu Jinzhu grabbed the door of the cabinet and said to the assistant beside her: "Calculate the things in the safe!"

Du Yuli panicked when she heard this: "No need..."

Qiu Jinzhu's face suddenly sank: "Chief Du, are you a policeman or I a policeman? I am responsible for this case. I have the responsibility to investigate the matter clearly. Now you stand aside and wait. When you need you, you will naturally look for you!"

Du Yuli bit her lip and didn't dare to argue with Qiu Jinzhu when she saw Qiu Jinzhu's gloomy face.

There are quite a lot of things in the safe, not only 50,000 yuan in cash, but also passbooks and account books. After a preliminary calculation, the number of passbooks alone reached 330,000 yuan. As for what Qiu Jinzhu wrote on the account book, he was not very clear. After all, he was not a professional in auditing. He collected the account book as evidence and said to his subordinates: "Please go back to the Public Security Bureau with us to assist in the investigation!"

Meng Zonggui saw Du Yuli being taken into the police car with his own eyes. He asked with some anxiety. Qiu Jinzhu explained to him to assist in investigating the case, but Meng Zonggui understood the inner panic from Du Yuli's eyes, and he felt something was wrong.

Before Du Yuli got into the car, she silently said a few words to him. Meng Zonggui guessed from Du Yuli's mouth that what she said was - something happened!

Qiu Jinzhu's interrogation at the beginning was very consistent. He smiled and said to Du Yuli: "Secretary Du, don't panic. We asked you here just to assist in the investigation and to clarify the case as soon as possible!"

Although Du Yuli was nervous, she seemed very calm on the surface. She smiled and said, "Assisting the public security organs in investigations is the obligation of every citizen, and I will definitely know everything."

Qiu Jinzhu smiled, and his first question caught Du Yuli off guard: "According to our inventory, there are 50,000 yuan in cash in the safe and 330,000 yuan in the passbook. Is this in line with the financial system?"

Du Yuli was stunned for a while before saying, "Do these things have something to do with the case?"

Qiu Jinzhu said: "I want to know if there is anything else in the safe besides these 50,000 yuan?"

Du Yuli shook her head and said firmly: "I can guarantee that nothing was lost in the safe, and nothing was lost in the finance department!"

Qiu Jinzhu laughed and said, "Chief Du, do you want to tell me that after the thief sneaked into the Finance Department last night, he didn't steal anything? He just messed up the room and ran away, right?"

Du Yuli stammered: "Maybe..."

"Don't use these two words, our police focus on evidence when handling cases. If he just wants to mess up the room, this thief is really a prank. Chief Du, I hope you tell us the truth. Any concealment and concealment will not help the case."

Du Yuli was a little angry, and she screamed: "Why did I hide it? I didn't lose anything at all. You asked me to cooperate with the investigation. I was telling the truth. Do I need to hide it?"

Qiu Jinzhu said: "I don't know if you need to hide it, but I suspect that the Finance Department has lost something, and every unit will have accounts. As the Finance Department's chief, you are your professional director. I believe your accounts should be clearer. Now I have an account book in my hand. As long as the audit department intervenes, everything will be clear soon. Chief Du, I hope you will tell it truthfully."

Du Yuli was so anxious that she almost cried: "I swear, I really didn't lose anything, nothing!"

Qiu Jinzhu's gloating nature began to cause trouble again. This guy felt endless pleasure in his heart. The phone call for the report was called by Zhang Yang. There is no need to ask about this unjust case, which was planned and practiced by Deputy Mayor Zhang. Compared with Du Yuli, we are quite lucky! Qiu Jinzhu couldn't help but secretly glad that although he had endured humiliation and hardships, he was lucky enough to stand in the right position in the right position and what an honor it would be to be able to do for Deputy Mayor Zhang!

Qiu Jinzhu was invited by Zhao Guodong during the interrogation. Zhao Guodong looked bad. He had just received a call from Meng Zonggui. Meng Zonggui was very scared. He realized that Du Yuli was taken away as an ominous sign. This theft case in the Finance Department was very likely to expose his potential small treasury. Fengze No. 1 Middle School has two account books, one is open and the other is secret. Only Meng Zonggui and Du Yuli know about the secret account books.

Meng Zonggui was thinking about the past two days. The school owed the staff wages to him so much that he was almost breathless. He asked Du Yuli to take out money from the small treasury to respond to the emergency first, but Du Yuli advised him not to do this. If he did this, others would definitely ask about the origin of this large amount of money. It was not easy to accumulate wealth in the small treasury, and it had been hidden from everyone's ears. Now if you want to take out the money, it is equivalent to announcing everyone that you are doing small financial moves and crying out all day long. After Du Yuli's reminder, Meng Zonggui also thought it was right. The money in the small treasury cannot be shabby, whether it is squandered or quietly, in short, this money cannot be shabby.

But Meng Zonggui didn't expect something to happen in the finance department. After hearing that something happened in the finance department, the first thing he thought of was his small treasury. He heard that 50,000 yuan of cash was found in the safe, and his head was buzzing! The ground suddenly became big. Why did this stupid woman store so much cash in the safe? Isn't this waiting for someone to catch the handle? Isn't this waiting for others to catch the handle? Isn't he sorry to all the employees of the school with a bitter face yesterday afternoon and told everyone to work hard to raise funds. Please wait patiently, the salary will be paid. Now that people have something to say, there is 50,000 yuan in your safe, why don't you pay it? Why do you still tell us that you have no money?

What Meng Zonggui is most worried about is Du Yuli. No matter how shrewd a woman is, she will be afraid once she enters the public security organs. If Du Yuli is scared by others and says something that shouldn't be said, wouldn't it be a big trouble? Meng Zonggui then remembered Zhao Guodong, who was Chen Qinghua's brother-in-law, and Meng Zonggui is Chen's mother's godson. He and Zhao Guodong usually have a good relationship, and Zhao Guodong has often sent relatives to the school.

Zhao Guodong then interrupted Qiu Jinzhu's interrogation and called him over halfway.

Qiu Jinzhu was in a good mood and smiled and said to Zhao Guodong: "Director Zhao, is there anything to do with me?"

Zhao Guodong said: "Old Qiu, do you think Fengze No. 1 Middle School is not messy enough, so why are you messing around?"

Qiu Jinzhu pretended to be confused, "Director Zhao, I haven't caused any trouble. I'm reporting theft case. I'll go to investigate routinely. This thief went to steal the Finance Department of Fengze No. 1 Middle School. If I don't ask, wouldn't he say I'm dereliction of duty again?"

Zhao Guodong said: "I heard you brought the Finance Section Chief?"

Qiu Jinzhu said: "Well, that's to understand the situation!"

"You won't know the situation at school? You can get someone in a police car and take them to the bureau. Others think that she is related to the theft case. You have to use your mind more when handling the case, and know what humanity is? Take care of the people's feelings more."

Zhao Guodong's condescending reprimand made Qiu Jinzhu feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart. Qiu Jinzhu's resentment towards Zhao Guodong has not been there for a day or two. For many years, he has lived in the shadow of Zhao Guodong, and even his honor has been stolen by this guy. On the surface, Qiu Jinzhu is very convinced and cooperated with Zhao Guodong, but he hates him to the extreme. In the past, he has been suppressing hatred, but since Zhang Yang appeared, Qiu Jinzhu's hatred towards Zhao Guodong has also begun to revive.

Zhao Guodong said: "Old Qiu, put Du Yuli back quickly, don't make people panic."

Qiu Jinzhu smiled hypocritically: "Okay, I'll put her back now. Du Yuli is not simple. She actually put 50,000 yuan in the safe!" Qiu Jinzhu said this on purpose to Zhao Guodong.

Zhao Guodong frowned. His first reaction was that Du Yuli had mastered a small treasury. No wonder Meng Zonggui was so nervous. Although Zhao Guodong thought of this level, he did not think of a deeper step. This theft case was a game set up by Zhang Yang and Qiu Jinzhu.

Qiu Jinzhu put Du Yuli back, but the account book was not given to her. The account book was handed over to Zhang Yang. Like Qiu Jinzhu, Zhang Yang couldn't understand the account book, but he had Chang Lingfeng around him, so he couldn't hide any problems from them.

Chang Lingfeng only took an hour to see that the account book was full of loopholes. With this account, it can be proved that Fengze No. 1 Middle School's financial chaos is extremely chaotic. The accounts that Fengze No. 1 Middle School deals with audits are very different from this account. Chang Lingfeng said: "Meng Zonggui is very brave. From this account, we can see that he has concealed a lot of income."

Zhang Yang said: "Can the evidence be considered conclusive now?"

Chang Lingfeng said: "This account can already make him step down!"

Chen Qinghua's mother lives in a bungalow in the municipal party committee's family courtyard. This is not because Chen Qinghua is unwilling to live with his mother, but because the old lady likes to have a small yard and raises chickens and ducks in the yard when she has nothing to do. Although the municipal party committee's family courtyard clearly stipulates that poultry and livestock cannot be raised, no one will interfere with the old lady's hobby and no one dares to care about it.

The first thing Chen Qinghua did after getting off work every day was to come to his mother for concern. The old lady had been discharged from the hospital for a few days and her spirit had not fully recovered in the past two days. When Chen Qinghua came outside the courtyard, he heard his mother's laughter. He couldn't help but smile. His mother's happiness was his happiness.

The gate of the yard was wide open, and several hens were pecking at the yard. Old Mrs. Liu was sitting on a chair. Her godson Meng Zonggui moved a small stool and sat beside her. While pounding her legs, he talked with her. It was obvious that the old woman was very happy and laughed constantly.

Seeing Chen Qinghua coming in, Meng Zonggui stood up and shouted: "Brother, you are back!"

Chen Qinghua nodded, and Meng Zonggui went to move a chair attentively: "Brother, sit down! I'll pour you tea!"

Chen Qinghua smiled and said, "Why do I feel like a guest?"

Old Mrs. Liu glanced at her son and said meaningfully: "You come here every day and leave before your butt is touched on the bench. Zong Gui has to chat with me every day. When will I make me happy and when will I leave with confidence? My godson is more considerate than my own son!"

Meng Zonggui came out with tea, put it on the square stool, and smiled and said, "Mom, don't say that. My brother is busy with work and has to let him take care of Fengze's big and small matters. Even if he is so busy, he still has to come to see you every day. It's no longer easy."

Old Mrs. Liu looked at Meng Zonggui with a smile and said, "You kid will say lenient words." She stood up and said, "Don't leave at night. I just killed a hen at noon and was stewing it in the stove. The old hen soup is fragrant. You two sit first, I'll go and have a look!"

Meng Zonggui said: "Mom, I'll go!"

Old Mrs. Liu waved her hand and said, "You guys are chatting, I'll just do it alone!"

The old lady entered the kitchen, and the smile on Chen Qinghua's face suddenly disappeared. Meng Zonggui saw his expression and felt nervous, and said carefully: "Brother..."

"What's going on in the school? There are problems every few days. Now there are rumors everywhere that you have money in the safe in the school, but you keep it and don't pay the teacher's salary. Is this really the case?"

Meng Zonggui said: "Brother, I was wrong!"

Chen Qinghua glared at Meng Zonggui: "Tell me clearly!"

Meng Zonggui then explained to Chen Qinghua the whole story of setting up a small treasury. As for the school’s two accounts, he did not hide it at all. Qiu Jinzhu had already taken away the account book, and there was no need to hide it. Meng Zonggui knew that this matter would definitely be revealed, and he had to take action first. Only by obtaining Chen Qinghua’s understanding can he escape the disaster.

Chen Qinghua's face became increasingly ugly. After hearing this, he pointed at Meng Zonggui's nose and said, "You are so brave!"

Meng Zonggui said: "Brother..."

"Don't call me brother!" Chen Qinghua roared.

Old Mrs. Liu heard the noise and walked out of the kitchen: "What's going on? It would be great if you are the secretary of the municipal party committee. You don't even recognize this younger brother?"

Chen Qinghua was quite helpless, suppressed his anger, squeezed out a smile to his mother and said, "Mom, it's okay, we're kidding!"

Old Mrs. Liu said, "Although Zong Gui is my godson, I treat him as my own son. He is more filial than you. If something happens to him, I will never forgive you in my life if you don't help him!" At this point, the old woman's eyes turned red and she turned around.

Chen Qinghua was most afraid of his mother's sadness, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support his mother: "Mom, don't do this, I didn't say he didn't care about him!"

Meng Zonggui said, "Brother, I was wrong. I will go to the Discipline Inspection Commission to explain the mistake now. Don't worry, what I did has nothing to do with you!"

Old Mrs. Liu was panicked when she heard this, and grabbed Meng Zonggui's arm and said, "Zonggui, what are you doing?"

Chen Qinghua sighed and said, "Sit down for me, I haven't finished asking yet!"

Meng Zonggui was secretly happy. He knew that Chen Qinghua must have taken action to help him.

After the old lady returned to the kitchen, Chen Qinghua said: "How much did you get from the public?"

Meng Zonggui shook his head hurriedly and said, "Brother, I have never taken a penny from the public. I set up a small treasury to help teachers get benefits. I also have to use money for doing things. In short, I spent all of them on the public and never sought a penny of benefits for myself."

Chen Qinghua naturally didn't believe what Meng Zonggui said. He closed his eyes, thought for a while, and said slowly: "Do you think there are two accounts?"

Meng Zonggui nodded and said, "One book on the surface, one behind the scenes. Now, not only us, but I dare say that more than 90% of companies do this. Our Fengze Hotel is constantly open, and almost every high-end hotel is full. How many of them use their own money to eat? How to eat and drink with public funds? A large part of the account comes from the small treasury."

Chen Qinghua snorted coldly, scaring Meng Zonggui torture.

Meng Zonggui said with grievances: "Brother, since Zhang Yang came, he has been staring at me and opposing me everywhere!"

Chen Qinghua said angrily: "You can't wipe your butt clean, and you're even dependent on others!"

Meng Zonggui closed his mouth with a flushed face.

Chen Qinghua said: "You explain the problem and find out the accounts. I will say hello to the Commission for Discipline Inspection and take a break for a while before considering work issues!"

Meng Zonggui was stunned. Chen Qinghua announced that his principal career would end. Meng Zonggui was unwilling to say: "Brother, Fengze No. 1 Middle School has the highest admission rate in Jiangcheng, and my management..."

Chen Qinghua interrupted him impatiently and said, "No matter how high your management level is, what can you do? Make a small treasury, conceal the school income, and owe teachers' salary, which one is enough to deal with you. Think carefully about it yourself, should you leave yourself, or let others drive you away?"

After careful consideration, Meng Zonggui finally decided to quit his job voluntarily. His reasons were very common. Because he could not adapt to the principal's work due to physical reasons, he voluntarily stepped down.

The resignation letter was handed to Liu Qiang, the director of Education. Liu Qiang did not delay for a moment and sent the resignation letter to the deputy mayor Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang did not feel much about this resignation letter. In his opinion, Meng Zonggui took retreat as an advance, and took defense first when retreating to a safe place.

Zhang Yang browsed the resignation letter and threw it aside, saying to Liu Qiang: "What do you think?"

Liu Qiang said: "Comrade Meng Zonggui is very determined to retreat. His health has always been poor, with high blood pressure and diabetes. If we insist on letting him continue to do management, it seems a bit unkind."
