Chapter 18 Section 18 Tough Forensics

On the second day, the five teams of the forensics team made preparations for the breakthrough of the vegetable oil smuggling case.The task force decided that Xiamen Customs Smuggling Crime Investigation Sub-bureau would file and investigate Xiamen Yuanhua Company, Kaiyuan Foreign Trade Group, and Dongfang Development Foreign Trade Company on the grounds of suspected major smuggling, and complete all legal procedures according to the procedures. The goals of the five teams' attack were as follows: to quickly find out the clues that have been found out in the secret investigation and focus on finding out the facts of the smuggling of the five oil tankers such as "Ruby" and "Sapphire"; to obtain evidence from all links; to implement criminal responsibility to the Units and individuals; it is necessary to investigate the responsibility of Qingyuanhua Company in the smuggling activities.

Zhang Guosheng and Lu Bin went to Xiamen Customs in the afternoon to report the work of the task force to the customs party group.Zhang Zhang made a speech at the meeting of cadres above the deputy division level of Quanguan, and persuaded everyone to actively cooperate with the work of the investigation team.However, it was later proved that those who were deeply involved in the case adopted a double-sided approach to the persuasion of the task force. Measures, or continue to maintain information exchanges with smugglers, or do everything possible to cover up the crime.On the eve of the task force's arrival in Xiamen, Zhou Zhenting, the director of the Dongdu Office, "disappeared" and used the pretext of going to other places to see a doctor, but he could no longer be contacted.Among the people who attended the meeting at that time, most of the department cadres on the front line of business were subjected to "two regulations" or residential surveillance measures by the internal investigation team of the Commission for Discipline Inspection in the next few months.It can be seen from this that how difficult it was for the special task force to work in a state where the enemy's front was unknown at that time!

In the evening, Zhang Guosheng brought people to meet with the secretary of the Xiamen Municipal Party Committee and informed the work of the task force, hoping that the Municipal Party Committee would support and cooperate with the work.The secretary of the Municipal Party Committee stated that a six-member team was set up in the city to cooperate with the task force, with the secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection as the team leader.And inform the task force: The Fujian Provincial Party Committee also sent the deputy director of the Supervision Department to Xiamen to assist the task force.In the end, the task force and the Municipal Party Committee agreed that those suspected of smuggling would be controlled by the anti-smuggling police, and public officials suspected of accepting bribes or participating in smuggling would be controlled by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.To this end, Xiamen Customs sent anti-smuggling police, and the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection dispatched five cadres each to participate in the investigation of the task force.

At 8:30 a.m. on August 20, 1999, 10 vehicles from 5 forensics teams left the Wanshou Hotel one after another.The surrounding residents and pedestrians watched the 10 cars whizzing by, and they did not understand the significance of this action. All the rooms on the 5th to 6th floors of the Wanshou Hotel were reserved by the task force.The staff of the comprehensive team are busy sorting out the blank documents of various legal procedures for backup.The team members of the municipal party committee are renting and adjusting the urgently needed vehicles of the task force. In the room of Zhang Guosheng, who was the temporary headquarters, the Zhang Bureau repeatedly read the report materials and the data of the previous secret investigation, and filtered the various links of the import of goods in his mind. How much information should be left in these many links!Will it all be destroyed?There are also many on-site operators in various links and salesmen who undertake various procedures, and it is impossible for them all to disappear!Search carefully from the business files of each link, and learn from the insiders, and you will always find clues to the smuggling of vegetable oil!

At 11:00 am, there is no progress report at 5 o'clock! At 11:30, there was still no feedback at 5 o'clock.The bureau couldn't hold back anymore, and asked the secretary to contact the team leaders at five points. The replies were all in the same tone: no substantial progress yet. During the secret investigation, it has been found out that the operating unit for the import of vegetable oil carried by the two ships "Ruby" and "Sapphire" is Xiamen Kaiyuan Foreign Trade Group.Fu Department of Beijing Customs led the team to investigate.In the morning, after entering the Kaiyuan company building, Director Fu ordered all middle-level and above cadres working in the building to gather together for a policy talk.The vice president of the company, the secretary of the party branch, the manager of the bonded department, the manager of the financial department, and the salesperson and customs declarer of the bonded department were all left behind, and the special case team members talked separately.All documents and account books of the company were seized.All computers are controlled.Kaiyuan Company trembled in shock, and the employees of the company were terrified and bewildered. Those who were left to talk were later found to be involved in smuggling.At that time, their will was initially defeated in the face of the sudden and powerful force.
