Yan Lian, deputy secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and leader of the "5.16" special investigation team, before leading the task force to Xinlang County, his immediate boss, Zhou Jiqing, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Xie Hongda, Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, and Wang, Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee Haidu talked to him separately. When these leaders talked, they all had one central idea: Governor Qin attached great importance to the "5.16" murder case in Xinlang County and made important instructions. The background and underlying reasons for this case are required to be thoroughly investigated. Government officials and civil servants at all levels and departments related to this case, no matter who is involved, must be investigated to the end and must not be concealed or shielded.
Yan Lian never expected that the murder case in Xinlang County would attract so many leaders' attention. Not only Governor Qin Ge, but also Secretary Zhou Jiqing personally gave important instructions on the situation report, and they also made important instructions when he rushed to the scene. Before Xinleng, three members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee actually came to talk to him. Dundun warned himself to stick to his principles and handle the case strictly, and repeatedly emphasized: No matter what level of leadership is involved in the case, no matter how deep the background of the criminal suspect is, or the background No matter how hard it is, we must get to the bottom of it, and we must not hide, protect, or be timid.
When Xie Hongda, the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, was talking to him, he also pointed out implicitly: This case in Xinleng is not a simple gang fight case. Behind this case, many officials, many departments, and even individuals may be involved. You will be surprised by the big shots. Therefore, in the process of handling the case, you must withstand pressure from all aspects and do not be afraid of the power of certain people. Instead, you must adhere to principles, stick to the bottom line, and get to the bottom of the case. If you are handling the case When you feel the pressure, you can report directly to Secretary Zhou, or even directly to Governor Qin. We, including Governor Qin, will definitely support you and be your strong backing... …
After talking to these leaders, Yan Lian immediately felt unprecedented pressure in his heart. He knew very well: Although six people died in this case in Xinleng, it was a shooting case, and it was related to a gang organization, and was not It has caused a sensation and concern across the country, but after all, it is just a criminal case. According to convention, even if the provincial party committee pays close attention to such a case, it should order the public security organs to solve the case within a time limit, arrest the criminals and punish them , just give the public an explanation.
However, for such a case, Provincial Governor Qin Ge and Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Committee Secretary Zhou Jiqing issued stern instructions respectively, clearly instructing them to find out the hidden story behind this case and find out the backers and protective umbrellas behind the criminals. A little bit, it's very unusual.
What's even more bizarre is that regarding such a criminal case, Wang Hai, Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, and Xie Hongda, Organization Director of the Provincial Party Committee, who had nothing to do with the political and legal authorities in handling the case, actually talked to me in person before they rushed to Xinlang County. Encourage yourself to act in accordance with the law and investigate all those involved. What does this mean?
Yan Lian has served as deputy secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee for many years, and he also vaguely knows that: Governor Qin Ge, Provincial Party Committee Organization Minister Xie Hongda, Provincial Party Committee Secretary-General Wang Hai, including Provincial Political and Legal Committee Secretary Zhou Jiqing, are now all provincial Party committee members The "local faction" inside, formed an alliance with the newly arrived Secretary Lu Zhiyao, the newly promoted Secretary Li Runji, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Long Fei, Executive Vice Governor Zou Hancheng and others, have been fighting openly and secretly, competing with each other, and now they are basically It's an evenly matched situation.
But now, the leaders he talks to are all frontline backbones of Governor Qin Ge, and the central point of their conversations is that the "5.16" major case involves a certain senior official in the province.
From this, Yan Lian judged that he was now trapped in a whirlpool of high-level power struggle. This case in Xinlang County was by no means a simple gang fight case. It may involve a power struggle among the top leaders of the provincial party committee. However, he was still involved in the power struggle for the time being. It is impossible to find any leader of the provincial party committee involved in this case, but in the process of handling the case, this implicated relationship will definitely be exposed...
Therefore, when Tao Yong and Bi Huafeng were double-crossed by the task force, and Chen Guitian of the Provincial Public Security Bureau and Liang Tanghua of the K City Public Security Bureau were found guilty of harboring Gong Zhichao, Yan Lian immediately realized sensitively: Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua were probably It was only after being entrusted by a certain big leader in the province that he came forward to excuse Gong Zhichao, and the people who could make these two division-level cadres with real power willingly do such a thing were definitely not simple characters, or they were His immediate boss is Guo Guangwei, director of the Provincial Public Security Bureau, or one of the leaders of the Standing Committee.
Therefore, after Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua were brought to justice, he immediately reported the matter to Secretary Zhou Jiqing.
When Zhou Jiqing heard that Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua were brought to justice, he happily praised Yan Lian and their task force on the phone, and instructed him: The next step is to intensify the interrogation of Liang Tanghua and Chen Guitian, and make sure they confess. Who ordered it, and what other officials were involved in this case.
After Yan Lian received this instruction, he organized capable forces and intensified the interrogation of Liang Tanghua and Chen Guitian. However, the two men insisted that their original characterization of Gong Zhichao's case was based on the circumstances at that time. It was a correct judgment, and it was a decision made collectively. It was not directed by anyone, and there was no issue of dereliction of duty or harboring criminals.
Yan Lian knew that these two men were veteran policemen who had been fighting on the public security front for most of their lives and had very good mental qualities. He also knew that the interrogators did not dare to do anything to them, so they had a very tough attitude and did not admit any problems at all.
Moreover, some members of the task force are from the Provincial Public Security Department. Although these members recused themselves during the interrogation of these two people, they were always paying attention to the interrogation of these two people and publicly criticized the interrogators. Say: Captain Chen and Director Liang are both well-known veteran criminal police officers who have made many great achievements in the past. When you interrogate them, you must be more polite and civilized. If anyone dares to touch them, don’t blame us. You're welcome...
Therefore, after a day or two of interrogation, neither Chen Guitian nor Liang Tanghua confessed anything of value, which made Yan Lian irritated and helpless.
At this moment, Manager Zhao of Qingquan Hotel suddenly approached the task force and said that he had important information about Gong Zhichao's case that he wanted to report to the task force.
After listening to Manager Zhao's report and watching the video evidence about Ye Ming, Yan Lian sensitively realized that a big fish had appeared.
So, he immediately ordered the task force to summon Ye Ming and immediately started interrogating him.
