Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Lai Changxing flees in a panic

On June 9, the deputy commander-in-chief of the front line led the relevant personnel of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to Fuzhou.In the morning of the next day, I met with responsible comrades of the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and other relevant parties.He notified the instructions of Wei Jianxing, Luo Gan and other central leaders, explaining that a task force has been formed to thoroughly investigate and deal with the major smuggling case in Xiamen, hoping to get the cooperation and support of relevant parties in Fujian.

Since Lai Changxing learned about the content of the "4.20" instruction, he has implemented measures to save the situation from various aspects: First, Lai brought 50 million yuan to Beijing to deal with various parties in an attempt to settle the incident.However, the efforts have not yielded any results.After the central government made up its mind, no one in Beijing dared to act rashly under the situation that Li Jizhou was under the "two regulations". changed.The current effort is to let the investigation run aground, and it is the best policy to create a situation where the investigation cannot continue.Only then can they come out to speak out; secondly, the lawyers in the Lai organization's network, the hosts of relevant media columns, and the relevant creative personnel have complained about their grievances, but to no avail.For this reason, Lai Changxing continued to work hard to completely destroy the evidence of smuggling.The computer hard drive in his own office was removed and thrown into Bailuzhou Lake.Hou Xiaohu is a key member of Lai Changxing's smuggling group. He went to various links of the port to talk to people, and made arrangements to check again. The staff lined up, so that these people are ready to leave the country at any time.

On June 10, Lai Changxing grasped what the task force leader reported to the provincial high-level leaders on the same day.The task force was unaware of this at the time. On June 20, the leaders of the task force flew to Fuzhou with Zhang Guosheng, Lu Bin, Sun Wenjian and other directors.The purpose of this trip is to implement the joint action plan with relevant provinces and cities. On the morning of the 21st, relevant leaders of Fujian Province and Xiamen City, officials from the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Public Security Department and Bureau attended the meeting.The atmosphere of the meeting was warm and lasted all morning.One of the important successful experiences in the detection of major smuggling cases in Zhanjiang is "special cases and quick arrests". On September 8, 1998, the central government ordered the investigation and handling of the major case in Zhanjiang (hence the project code name "9898"). By the end of September, almost all the main smugglers and major corrupt elements were arrested.Therefore, the leaders of the "4.20" project went to Fuzhou twice to make organizational preparations for arresting Lai Changxing and other important smuggling criminals.

While the leaders of the special case team gathered in Fuzhou, the chapter bureau has been ordered to arrange for the investigation bureau to dispatch a total of 18 experts who have handled major cases from various customs.Once the special task force orders to do it, 18 people can rush to Xiamen on the same day to implement the combat plan. However, as soon as the meeting ended on the morning of the 21st, the leaders of the task force received the news from the Xiamen investigators that Lai Changxing and other key smugglers had already fled from June 11th. According to the information obtained through technical investigation means, it was someone who tipped off the information.The information that the task force organized the arrest of Lai and other important criminals was notified to Lai Changxing on the evening of June 10.Lai was notified of the task force's action plan through channels in Beijing and Fujian.Due to the preventive measures taken by the whistleblower, it was impossible to pinpoint the specific person.

According to the investigation, until the eve of Lai Changxing's escape, the smuggling activities continued.Just on May 16, a certain unit of the troops stationed in Xiamen provided information to the Customs: 5,000 tons of diesel oil was smuggled by the foreign oil tanker "Daying".Although the customs found the ship unloading smuggled oil in the port, it was not caught in time.When the oil tanker "Daying" was escorted back to Xiamen on June 17, there were only 500 tons of diesel oil left on board.And Lin Qinghui, the core figure of the Lai Changxing Group, called to inform a certain director of the investigation department that the oil on board the "Daying" belonged to Yuanhua Company.Later, a certain director of the investigation department gave a symbolic punishment based on facts.In addition, according to the investigation information, Lai Changxing's cigarette smuggling is still going on.
