Zhou Jiqing had just called Yan Lian, and he said happily on the phone: "Secretary Zhou, Ye Ming's criminal detention procedures have been completed. You can send him to the detention center tomorrow morning, and Chen Guitianhe We are also working overtime to conduct the interrogation of Liang Tanghua. We hope to make a breakthrough tomorrow. As long as Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua break through, we will know that the provincial leader has ordered them and can dig out the ones behind them. Backer and backstage…”
As soon as he said this, Zhou Jiqing interrupted him impatiently and said, "Yan Lian, now I order you: immediately lift the criminal detention measures against Ye Ming, lift the arrest of Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua, and release them all, At the same time, your task force will also sincerely apologize to the three of them and tell them: This is what I, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, said that you have believed others' words and Internet rumors, causing misunderstandings. Please They understand, do you hear what I mean."
Yan Lian screamed in an "ah" from the other side of the phone, and asked in an incredible tone: "Secretary Zhou, what's going on? You ask us to release Ye Ming, Chen Guitian, Liang Tanghua and the other two now, and we will also like to They apologized, isn’t our target Ye Ming? Why do we have to apologize to him now?"
Zhou Jiqing was furious when he heard Yan Lian's questioning tone and wanted to scold him, but then he thought that he was in a precarious state now, and there was no need to offend Yan Lian again, so he always followed him loyally. Your own person.
So he reluctantly suppressed his anger and tried to explain in a calm tone: "It's like this: Yesterday afternoon, Secretary Lu of the Provincial Party Committee convened all the Standing Committee members to hold a meeting to discuss the issues of the New 5.16 case. At the meeting, Secretary Lu specifically talked about the issues of Ye Ming, Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua, especially about Comrade Ye Ming. Secretary Lu has learned through some channels that his so-called bribery, prostitution and other issues do not exist. There is no evidence.
"Also, Secretary Lu also said: Gong Zhichao, the main suspect in the Xinleng May 16 case, is still on the run and has not been brought to justice. Now, the task force has determined that Ye Ming and Gong Zhichao's gang are related to the gang based on some speculations and rumors on the Internet. The determination that he provided protection for Gong Zhichao violated the basic principle of "based on facts and based on the law" and therefore, according to the rule of law concept of "probable crimes will not be left unattended", Ye Ming should be lifted as soon as possible.
"As for Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua, they were originally related to Ye Ming's affairs. If the task force cannot confirm that Ye Ming entrusted them to help Gong Zhichao, then the one they made to remove the investigation of Gong Zhichao's special case and cancel it The task force's decision was to make the right choice based on the specific circumstances at that time, and there was no problem of dereliction of duty or shelter.
"The above is the main point that Secretary Lu put forward at yesterday's meeting. Although no specific decision was made at yesterday's meeting, after careful consideration and consideration, I felt that Secretary Lu's analysis was far-sighted, reasonable and well-founded, and sufficient It embodies the principle of seeking truth from facts and fully takes into account the balance between law and reason. It has very important guiding significance for us to further handle the 5.16 case.
"So, today I ask you to release Ye Ming, Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua. This is not only an important instruction from Secretary Lu, but also our corrective action direction for the wrong case handling and further carry out the investigation of the 5.16 major case under the principle of law and regulations. An important step, I hope you will convey my above opinions to Comrade He Zhi and other comrades in the task force, and follow my opinion just now to complete the release procedures for Ye Ming and the other three people."
Zhou Jiqing's long speech not only did not make him rigorously, but instead made him even more confused.
However, there is a little bit of sternness that the provincial party committee secretary Lu has begun to pay attention to Xinleng's case and also began to pay attention to their task force. Moreover, from Zhou Jiqing's words, releasing Ye Ming and others is Secretary Lu. Meaning.
Although Yan Lian was still a little dissatisfied with Zhou Jiqing's decision, when he knew that Secretary Lu had begun to pay attention to the case and Ye Ming, he was still a little scared: After all, the task force took criminal detention measures against Ye Ming, There is indeed no solid and sufficient evidence. The purpose is nothing more than to interrogate Ye Ming and obtain clues about Li Runji's suspected violation of discipline and law. Now that Secretary Lu is alert, he has also held a special meeting to discuss this issue and made specific Instructions, then, the task force wants to blame Secretary Li Runji for fear that he will be ruined...
So Yan Lian had no choice but to mutter unwillingly: "Secretary Zhou, since you have given this instruction and it is Secretary Lu's intention, then I will convene a special task force to hold a meeting later and immediately lift Ye Ming's criminal detention measures. At the same time, Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua's arrest measures were also lifted."
After Zhou Jiqing gave orders to Yan Lian, he turned around the office a few times, raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist. It was 10:10 in the evening, so he walked to the window, opened the curtains, and went to the opposite side. Li Runji's office on the fourth floor of Building 4, and saw that the lights were still on, he moved his heart and hurriedly walked to the desk and used the red landline to call Li Runji's office.
"Secretary Li? I am Zhou Jiqing. Are you busy now?"
Unconsciously, Zhou Jiqing changed his name to Secretary Li, not as he used to call him "Comrade Runji", but he respectfully called him "Secretary Li", putting himself in a relatively low position superior.
Secretary Li Runji paused on the phone for a moment, and then said in a cold tone: "It's Comrade Jiqing. There is something wrong tonight. I was just looking at a few specific case files, all reported from the following departments. , I'm anxious to ask me to handle it... By the way, is there anything wrong with Comrade Jiqing?"
Zhou Jiqing said carefully: "Secretary Li, it's like this: I just called Yan Lian, the leader of the Xinleng 5.16 task force, conveyed to the task force the spirit of Secretary Lu's instructions on the case at the Standing Committee yesterday, and made clear requirements. They immediately lifted the criminal detention measures against Comrade Ye Ming, and at the same time lifted the arrest measures against Comrade Chen Guitian and Liang Tanghua. Secretary Li, you are in charge of the discipline inspection work, so I think you must inform you about this matter first. If you are now When I have time, I want to come over and discuss with you in detail and talk about other things by the way."
Secretary Li already knew that Secretary Lu had talked to Zhou Jiqing, and also knew that his purpose was to show kindness to him now, and wanted him, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission who had mastered his violations of laws and regulations, to conceal it for him.
Therefore, he replied simply: "Comrade Jiqing, I really have no time now. If you have anything, let's talk about it tomorrow."
