Two men in uniform came in through the door and took Xiao Wenbin to another room.
There was only a simple bed in here, with bedding and other things on it.
There was no television inside, let alone communication equipment.
Before Xiao Wenbin was taken to the car and on his way to the Discipline Inspection Commission, his mobile phone was taken away by that big brawny man, Liu Dazhuang, and he lost all contact with the outside world.
Only then did he realise that he had turned out to be double-crossed.
Xu Jianye came to the door of Secretary Yang’s office, knocked gently with his hand on the door, and only after getting permission from the person inside did he push the door and walk in.
Yang Zhonghua, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, was sitting on a sofa chair in front of his desk, flipping through documents. When he saw Xu Jianye enter the room, he waved at him and asked with a smile.
“Are things done?”
“Mm.” Xu Jianye nodded.
“Well done, sit down and talk!” After Yang Zhonghua told Xu Jianye to sit down on a stool opposite his desk, he asked, “How is the investigation into Xiao Wenbin’s case going?”
“This is Xiao Wenbin’s statement, please take a look at it, Secretary Yang.” Xu Jianye handed over the statement of questioning in his hand.
Yang Zhonghua scanned the paper and asked, “How come Xiao Wenbin didn’t sign and affix his signature to this statement?”
“Xiao Wenbin did not admit that he was guilty of drug trafficking and bribery, he said he was framed by someone and refused to sign and affix his name to it.” Xu Jianye explained.
Yang Zhonghua flipped through the interrogation records carefully and asked without revealing his voice, “Xu Jianye, what do you think about this matter?”
“We did find 100,000 yuan in cash and two packs of powder in Xiao Wenbin’s car and one million yuan in cash and three packs of powder at home,” Xu Jianye said bluntly, “On the surface, Xiao Wenbin is indeed suspected of drug trafficking and taking bribes, but there are some doubts that I don’t know when to tell I don’t know if I should tell you?”
“What are the suspicions, why don’t you tell us?” Yang Zhonghua asked with a serious face.
“We found the suitcase containing 100,000 yuan in cash and two packs of white powder in the car, and Xiao Wenbin’s driver, He Xiaowei, testified that Xiao Wenbin put it there, so why did he bring these things to the Municipal Public Security Bureau?
“Yang Fang and Li Xiaoyong in Xiao Wenbin’s home to search out a suitcase, the suitcase contains a million yuan in cash and three packets of white powder is not false, this huge sum of money is indeed from an unknown source, it can be understood that this is Xiao Wenbin bribery proceeds of stolen money and drug trafficking drugs.
“However, Yang Fang and Li Xiaoyong reported to me that this suitcase was handed over to Xiao Wenbin’s daughter by a female police officer taking advantage of the fact that Xiao Wenbin went to work in his unit and Xiao Wenbin’s lover went to the market to buy vegetables on the grounds of the information contained inside, while Xiao Wenbin’s daughter did not know this female police officer at all, if this matter is true, then it is very likely that Xiao Wenbin was planted and framed ……” Xu Jianye said in a serious analysis.
“Your inference is reasonable, but we adhere to the policy of ‘seeking truth from facts’, and everything speaks with facts,” Yang Zhonghua said, pointing to the interrogation records, “If Xiao Wenbin can’t say where the drugs and the huge money came from, the If we can’t produce evidence that he was planted and framed, then we have the right to double-regulate him, and if the evidence is conclusive, hand him over to the judiciary for examination, and Xiao Wenbin’s wife and children’s one-sided words alone won’t tell the story, and he won’t be able to clear himself of the suspicion of taking bribes as well ……”
“Then what Secretary Yang means is that Xiao Wenbin is really suspected of drug trafficking and bribery?” Xu Jianye couldn’t help but ask with a frown.
“What do you think?” Yang Zhonghua asked rhetorically.
“I see.” Xu Jianye said coyly, “I will interrogate and investigate this matter carefully until Xiao Wenbin confesses to his crimes.”
“What do you want?” Yang Zhonghua asked in a deep voice, “Are you trying to extort a confession from Xiao Wenbin under torture? I warn you, you must treat Xiao Wenbin with respect and politeness, and never use extraordinary means, understand?”
“Then what do you think I should do?” Xu Jianye asked, puzzled.
“I will personally handle this matter,” Yang Zhonghua said with a serious look on his face, “Don’t bother him anymore, give me good food and drink, and make sure to deploy extra staff to protect him 24 hours a day, if his safety is not guaranteed and anything goes wrong, I will hold you to account! ”
“Okay, I’ll do as you instructed.” Xu Jianye was confused by Yang Zhonghua and said, “Secretary Yang, you go ahead and get busy, I’ll leave you alone.”
“Go ahead, I’ll look for you again if there’s anything, and on your way out, close the door to your room for me!” Yang Zhonghua waved his hand to Xu Jianye.
Xu Jianye turned around and left, closing the room door gently as he left the office.
Seeing Xu Jianye leave, Yang Zhonghua showed a hint of an imperceptible smile, swept a glance once again towards the copy of the interrogation records that Xu Jianye had sent to him, picked up the landline microphone on his desk and dialed a phone number.
……
After Yang Zhonghua gave a detailed report of the situation to the other party on the phone, he had just put down the phone when a loud noise came from the corridor of the office.
“Where is Yang Zhonghua? Tell him to come out and see me immediately.” A loud voice came from outside the door of the room.
“Master, Secretary Yang is busy with his work, so if you have anything to tell us, he won’t be able to see you until he has time.” It was the voice of Secretary Wang, the head of the Discipline Inspection Commission office.
“No,” the old man said stubbornly, “I must see him right away, tell him to get out and see me!”
Secretary Wang said curtly, “Then how about this, wait in my office for a while, I’ll go and give a briefing.”
In a short while, the noise in the corridor finally stopped, but the door of the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission’s office was knocked lightly from outside.
Yang Zhonghua knew that Xiao Wenbin’s father, Master Xiao, was stubborn, so even if he could avoid the first day of the month, he could not avoid the 15th.
“Secretary Yang, Master Xiao is here, he says he wants to see you.” Secretary Wang saw Yang Zhonghua open the door for him and eagerly asked, “Do you need to see him?”
Master Xiao had once been a powerful public figure in Yanjing City, often appearing on television and in the newspapers, a figure that Secretary Wang naturally could not afford to offend.
However, if he was taken directly to Yang Zhonghua’s director’s office, he was afraid that Secretary Yang would reprimand him, so after settling the old man down on the sofa in his own office and making him a cup of tea, he ran over to report to Yang Zhonghua.
“Quickly go and invite him over!” Yang Zhonghua waved his hand at Secretary Wang.
Secretary Wang nodded and left, returning to his office.
When Elder Xiao saw him fold back, he hurriedly stood up from the sofa and asked loudly, “Has Yang Zhonghua finished his work yet? What exactly does he mean? How long does he want me to wait?”
“I’ve finished,” Secretary Wang made an inviting gesture to Master Xiao and said with a smile, “Master, Secretary Yang wants to see you, please follow me!”
“This kid Yang Zhonghua is so big, he even asked me to see him, if I hadn’t promoted him back then, would he be here today?” Elder Xiao was unhappy in his heart.
However, this was a moment in time, if he didn’t have a request from someone, he wouldn’t be willing to condescend to meet a junior!
Master Xiao suppressed the anger in his heart and followed closely behind Secretary Wang, and together they arrived at the entrance to the office of the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Yang Zhonghua.
