Chapter 35 Section 35

When Ye Zijing called Tang Zhaoyang to report, the procuratorate's summons to Zhou Xiuli had been going on for nearly nine hours.According to the "Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China", the legal time for Zhou Xiuli to accept the arraignment is twelve hours.After 12 hours, if the procuratorial organ cannot make a decision on the criminal detention of the interrogated person based on the interrogation, he must be released immediately.Zhou Xiuli was suspected of a major crime, so she obviously couldn't be released, but the evidence for formal detention seemed insufficient, so the arraignment turned into a stalemate.

It was in this situation that Ye Zijing made the phone call: to detain a department-level cadre, and it was such a department-level cadre with a special background that he had to ask the municipal party committee for instructions.When making the phone call, Ye Zijing was mentally prepared, ready to explain something, and even prepared to release him according to the instructions of Tang Zhaoyang and the municipal party committee.Unexpectedly, Tang Zhaoyang made it clear that she and the procuratorate should act in accordance with the law.It seems that the secretary of the municipal party committee is different from Lin Yongqiang, and he really has some shoulders.

Zhou Xiuli stepped into the gate of the procuratorate at twelve o'clock in the noon. She was not as nervous and timid as most of the interrogated.Director Wu Zhongqiu of the Anti-Corruption Bureau and Director Liu of the Procuratorate for Malpractice and Infringement took turns talking with Zhou Xiuli, and the conversation was extremely difficult. Five or six hours before dinner, Zhou Xiuli almost sang a one-man show alone.Zhou Xiuli didn't explain her bribery and dereliction of duty, but she made a good evaluation of her merits.Talking about her idea and strategy of managing the city and beautifying the city, talking about Changshan City’s advanced experience in building a national civilized and hygienic city, talking about Mayor Wang Changgong’s emphasis on and support for urban management work, talking about her With past reform measures and future reform ideas, it seems that she will continue to serve as the director of the Urban Management Committee for a long time.After dinner, Wu Zhongqiu and Director Liu didn't want to listen to Zhou Xiuli's urban management work report anymore, and shared the account of Yan Ziqing, the former director of the Zhonglou District Urban Management Committee, and Fang Qingming's testimony.Zhou Xiuli was somewhat surprised, so she fell silent.

After the silence fell, Zhou Xiuli still did not explain the problem, and proposed to talk directly with Chief Prosecutor Ye Zijing. Only then did Ye Zijing come forward, and when she came in, she watched Zhou Xiuli stay silent for a long time, trying to create an invisible deterrent. Zhou Xiuli didn't have much timidity, and looked at Ye Zijing for a moment, and first asked a very sensitive question: "Ye Jian, are you going to attack Comrade Chang Gong? Did Comrade Chen Hanjie instructed you to do this? " Ye Zijing smiled flatly: "Director Zhou, why do you think so much? You are suspected of committing a crime, what does it have to do with Comrade Wang Changgong, and Comrade Chen Hanjie? I can tell you clearly: there is no question of who ordered it!"

There was a hint of sarcasm hanging from the corner of Zhou Xiuli's mouth: "Ye Jian, it still has something to do with how much I think? The conflict between Comrade Chang Gong and Chen Hanjie is well known. You, the female prosecutor, were brought up by Chen Hanjie; what about me? , is another cadre that Comrade Chang Gong relied heavily on, the cadres and masses in Changshan must have rich associations?!" Ye Zijing didn't want to talk about this topic: "Are these associations related to this case? It seems to be irrelevant!" Zhou Xiuli curled her mouth: "How can it be irrelevant? Isn't everyone spreading it all the time? It is said that I have some inexplicable relationship with Governor Chang Gong. You Zijing is an old comrade in Changshan City. You should know! Oh , By the way, Changshan cadres and the masses have said a lot about you, saying that your relationship with Chen Hanjie has always been unclear!"

Ye Zijing's heart immediately burst into anger: This is really the first time she has heard of Zhou Xiuli's statement. Zhou Xiuli seemed to have seen some changes in her face: "Ye Jian, look, are you angry too? I advise you not to be angry! You and I are both lesbians, and we can reach the goal with our own efforts and struggles." This step is not easy, and gossip and rumors behind the scenes are inevitable. Therefore, we lesbians should also understand more!" Ye Zijing waved her hand: "Director Zhou, don't worry about my affairs. People are not afraid of crooked shadows. Whoever wants to talk can let him talk! As for you, what is the relationship between you and Comrade Chang Gong? Let me say here again that it is a personal matter between you and Comrade Chang Gong. Neither the Changshan City People's Procuratorate nor I, the chief prosecutor, have anything to do with it. What I want to deal with is the case! From now on, please don't say anything irrelevant to this case. Alright, let's get back to business and talk about the problem!"

Zhou Xiuli shrugged her shoulders, looking very helpless: "Okay, okay. Ye Jian, let's talk about the problem! Do you think you can detain me based on the hearsay you have so far? That Yan Ziqing Let me not talk about it first, but let me talk about Fang Qingming, the important witness you rely on: What is Fang Qingming? Do you know it? According to Fang Qingming's false accusation, I even received 40,000 yuan from Su Afu!" This Zhou Xiuli is really strong enough, she took the weakness of Ye Zijing and the prosecutor's office as soon as she opened her mouth. What Fang Qingming is in essence, Ye Zijing and the investigators of the procuratorate are not clear, this capricious political villain has already caused her and the comrades in the procuratorate to suffer.First reported anonymously, and then reported in person, saying that Zhou Xiuli had accepted a bribe of 40,000 yuan from Su Afu, but it turned out to be an unfounded guess.For this, she and Wu Zhongqiu had to severely criticize and criticize.It turned out so well that Fang Qingming even took back the questions that had a basis in fact.Later, Yan Ziqing explained the problem of Zhou Xiuli's phone call, and asked Fang Qingming to confirm that Fang Qingming was uncharacteristically, never admitting it again, and even said good things for Zhou Xiuli.The stalemate lasted for two full days and one night, and it was not until the comrades of the Anti-Corruption Bureau found out the fact that Fang Qingming embezzled more than 10,000 yuan in reception fees that Fang Qingming cooperated honestly again.However, Ye Zijing was still uneasy: a person like Fang Qingming has no sense of morality, let alone any faith.Today his own problems were discovered, he could cooperate if he was passive, and he might not cooperate if the limelight changed, and he might even withdraw his confession in court, all of which had to be considered.

Ye Zijing also made it clear: "Director Zhou, Fang Qingming is indeed not a good person, and his character is not very good, but this has nothing to do with this case. What is related to this case is a basic fact: According to Ziqing's confession, Fang Qingming confirmed that you, the director of the urban management committee, greeted Su Afu's illegal facade, is there such a thing?" Zhou Xiuli still clung to her weakness: "Ye Jian, you say there is such a thing, and I say there is no such thing, it doesn't make any sense! In my opinion, we should calmly analyze the origin and background of the matter. Let's talk about Fang Qingming first. Regarding the situation of Fang Qingming, I have reported to Comrade Chen Hanjie in person. This person himself is a corrupt element. Because Chen Hanjie introduced him, I planned to save Fang Qingming's face and punish him internally. However, Chen Hanjie is very Qiang, firmly disagree, and asks us to investigate thoroughly, and report the case after the investigation is clear, and deal with it strictly according to party discipline and state law. In this way, Fang Qingming will definitely retaliate against me wildly and frame me, won't he? "

Ye Zijing remained calm: "Is there another way to explain the matter? After you learned that Fang Qingming made an anonymous report, you seduced him for profit, and even proposed to arrange him as the office director. Is it appropriate to let a corrupt person be the office director?" Zhou Xiuli smiled calmly: "Ye Jian, you said this from Fang Qingming, right? Then, please ask Fang Qingming again: When and where did I make this wish? Tell me a basic fact: I have been seriously investigating and dealing with Fang Qingming's problem. I have already asked comrades from the Disciplinary Inspection Team of the Urban Management Committee to have a formal talk with him. If I want to lure him, why should I follow Comrade Chen Hanjie's instructions? Is this reasonable? "

Ye Zijing had to admit that what Zhou Xiuli said made sense, and this was exactly where she was confused.However, he said: "Director Zhou, in fact, this is easy to understand. Incentives are one aspect, and threats are another aspect. As far as I know, you have expressed your position. As long as Fang Qingming doesn't mess with you , you all strive for internal handling!" Zhou Xiuli didn't even hit her, and immediately admitted: "Yes, I said this, and I told some comrades in the discipline inspection team. The original words are like this: Fang Qingming is shameless, and we want shame. If you really treat this person Send it to the procuratorate to file a case for prosecution. Does the Urban Management Committee look good? Two people have entered the Zhonglou District, and Fang Qingming has three, the impact is too bad! If Fang Qingming pleads guilty and is active and thorough in returning the stolen goods, he will be punished internally; The attitude of pleading guilty is not good, and continue to mess with the entire urban management system, regardless of the image of the urban management, act in accordance with the law and report the case to the procuratorate!" Sighing, he complained, "You can't even imagine how dirty Fang Qingming is, often in the name of urban management officials. Contributing articles to the newspaper, what kind of alopecia areata, body odor, how disgusting it is. The big pot rice system, I can't fire him!"

Ye Zijing thinks about it too. People like Fang Qingming are a disaster in any unit. Once the fire case broke out, the Zhonglou District Urban Management Committee arrested two more. Zhou Xiuli did not want to transfer Fang Qingming to the procuratorate at this time. It is quite normal, at most, it is a mistake of egotism, and this kind of egotism to protect subordinates has happened quite a lot in the past. Zhou Xiuli talked about Yan Ziqing again, and her expression became more calm: "Let's talk about Yan Ziqing again. Yan Ziqing is a good comrade in essence. However, this comrade has a problem, that is, he is narrow-minded. Four months ago, we reached the retirement age. He was dissatisfied with the retirement procedures stipulated for him. He came to me and said that Director Tian of the Urban Management Committee of Heping District retired from the age and became a second-line inspector. He asked me why I didn’t arrange him to be an inspector? I told Lao Yanming Having said that, Director Tian was specially greeted by relevant leaders in the city, and he also needs it in his work, so it’s not good to make such a comparison, which offends him. He talked nonsense in front of others, and even threatened to die with me a while ago... ..." The more Ye Zijing listened, the more hollow she felt, and she felt that this matter was difficult to handle: If Yan Ziqing did what Zhou Xiuli said, and took revenge on Zhou Xiuli for venting her personal anger; then, the passiveness of checking anonymous letters would repeat itself again.This time was not the last time, Wang Changgong would never stop when he got angry, if he didn't make her vomit blood, it might not be over. Fortunately, Su Afu didn't die, and Wu Chengyi and the comrades from the Public Security Bureau were nervously arresting him. Maybe things wouldn't be so bad. Ye Zijing decided to go straight to the point. After Zhou Xiuli finished talking about Yan Ziqing's question, she said coldly: "Stop analyzing it? I think the analysis is almost done. Let's talk about substantive issues. Comrade Zhou Xiuli, please Answer me directly: Have you ever called Yan Ziqing to agree to Su Afu's illegal construction of a front room?" Zhou Xiuli became angry now: "Ye Jian, why are you still asking this? Tell you: No, this is a frame-up for me! If you and your procuratorate believe this frame-up, then please detain me criminally." !" Ye Zijing tried her best to smile: "Hey, Director Zhou, don't get angry, we haven't said to detain you yet!" Zhou Xiuli immediately packed up the handbags on the table: "Okay, since that's the case, I'm leaving!" Ye Zijing immediately pulled her face down: "Director Zhou, remind you: the interrogation is not over yet!" Zhou Xiuli was very impatient: "Then please hurry up!" Pointing to the electronic clock on the wall, "Look, it's already past eleven o'clock at night! As far as I know, the time for your procuratorate's interrogation should not be More than twelve hours! If you decide to detain me now, I will notify my family, Professor Gui Lu, to send me toiletries! Ye Zijing, you decide!" I really didn't expect that Zhou Xiuli would be so tough, but she took the initiative to push her forward! The atmosphere in the room was a little tense. At this time, you must not be emotional, you must be cautious! Ye Zijing thought for a while, left Zhou Xiuli alone in the house, and went out to have an urgent discussion with deputy chief prosecutors Zhang Guojing and Chen Bo.Zhang Guojing has been in charge of handling the case, and the situation is relatively clear. He believes that Zhou Xiuli is not only about this phone call, but also has many anonymous reports of bribery and suspicion of dereliction of duty. He advocates taking some risks and decisively detaining Zhou Xiuli before midnight.Chen Bo disagreed, and repeatedly emphasized to act according to the law, and brought up Wang Changgong, saying that under such circumstances, it is better to be more cautious, and it is better to be informal.Chen Bo emphasized that letting go of the situation for the time being does not mean not letting it go in the future, nor does it mean letting it go. Measures can be taken to monitor closely around the clock, so that Zhou Xiuli may not be afraid to escape. Ye Zijing immediately raised the question: "Chen Bo, Zhou Xiuli won't escape, but will she commit suicide?" Chen Bo didn't dare to play this guarantee ticket, Chen Bo shook his head and said: "Ye Jian, this... I dare not say this!" Ye Zijing asked again: "After letting her go back, will she collude with a confession and transfer the stolen money?" Chen Bo said: "I'm afraid it's impossible? She wanted to collude with a confession and transfer some stolen money. She didn't do it long ago?" Zhang Guojing became impatient: "Ye Jian, I don't think we should discuss any more, just one word: arrest! Not only arrest, but also a surprise search overnight, to catch her by surprise! In addition, Su Afu may fall into the law at any time, too hard There will be evidence of it at that time! Regardless of now, if Zhou Xiuli commits suicide, we will be in big trouble!" Chen Bo reminded again: "Ye Jian, don't forget that behind Zhou Xiuli... there is Comrade Wang Changgong!" Ye Zijing instead made up her mind: "Chen Bo, don't say that, I've made up my mind, Ju!" Returning to the reception room where Zhou Xiuli was interrogated, the hour hand of the electronic clock was almost pointing to twelve, to be precise, it was eight minutes short of midnight.In just eight minutes, Ye Zijing arranged for Director Liu of the Malpractice and Torts Division to complete the statutory detention procedures.At midnight, two female police officers present handcuffed Zhou Xiuli on time. When she was handcuffed, Zhou Xiuli's complexion changed suddenly, her pride and reserve disappeared, and she scolded and shouted like a shrew: "Ye Zijing, you...you stinky bitch. You...what do you want? You...have Why arrest me?!" Ye Zijing said sharply: "Zhou Xiuli, I have a good reason: as the director of the Changshan City Management Committee, you are suspected of a crime of dereliction of duty! I don't care if you made that phone call or not, and I don't care whether the front room in Su Afu was approved by you or not." It was built, and it doesn’t matter whether you have gained personal benefits from it or not, the fact is that the illegal frontage house seriously affected the fire rescue on August 13, causing extremely serious losses to people’s lives and property!” Zhou Xiuli shouted: "I didn't shirk the responsibility of the leader. I wrote a review to the municipal party committee, and I'm waiting...for punishment!" Ye Zijing snorted: "Leadership responsibility? Punishment? Is it too easy? Detain me!" After Zhou Xiuli was taken away, the search of Zhou Xiuli's home and office was decisively arranged.Zhang Guojing and Chen Bo each led a group of people and acted separately.Ye Zijing herself sits in the office and directs on the phone, waiting for reports at any time. It was a tense night.After Zhang Guojing and Chen Bo left with their comrades, Ye Zijing's heart almost hung in her throat. Although she was sure that the search would not yield much, she still secretly hoped that some miracle might happen.The miracle did not happen. More than an hour later, all Zhang Guojing and Chen Bo's phone calls arrived, and no stolen money was found in Zhou Xiuli's home or office.What made Ye Zijing even more displeased was that on the way to search Zhou Xiuli's office, Chen Bo called Wang Changgong with his mobile phone, and kept saying that he was following orders, and that he did not approve of Zhou Xiuli's detention or the sudden search.The driver who was driving for Chen Bo quietly reported this to Ye Zijing. At almost three o'clock in the morning, Zhang Guojing and Chen Bo came back exhausted and sullen. Chen Bo entered the door and said: "Ye Jian, look, let me tell you everything, I got nothing!" As soon as the words fell, he immediately declared, "Order me to carry out. However, I stick to my original opinion, and Zhou Xiuli Be careful!" Ye Zijing understood what Chen Bo meant, and wanted to ask Chen Bo: Why did you call Wang Changgong?After thinking about it, I think it is understandable. Such an old comrade, at such an age, can understand it if he wants to find a backer to take a step forward, so he swallowed the blame that had come to his lips, and only said indifferently: " Chen Bo, oh, yes, and Ye Jian, today I will make it clear: the detention of Zhou Xiuli and today's search have nothing to do with either of you. Or whoever apologizes is up to me!" Zhang Guojing didn't know about Chen Bo's call to Wang Changgong, and didn't understand the meaning of her words, so he said nonchalantly, "What did you decide and I decided? According to my opinion, this Zhou Xiuli should have been arrested a long time ago! Okay, no By the way, Ye Jian, if there is nothing else, I have to go back to sleep, there will be a lot of work tomorrow!" Chen Bo also left: "Anyway, this is the situation, I have to go back!" Before leaving, he enthusiastically said to Ye Zijing, "Ye Jian, it's so late, and you are a lesbian again, we send you You go back!" Ye Zijing smiled wryly and waved her hand: "Forget it, you guys go back, I have to think about some things!" I have to think about it again.If Zhou Xiuli had no issues of bribery and abuse of power, could she and the Changshan City People's Procuratorate really bring Zhou Xiuli to court for the crime of dereliction of duty announced to Zhou Xiuli tonight?Can Wang Changgong not intervene? After the "August 13" fire broke out, and with the development of the case, Zhang Guojing and comrades from the Dereliction of Duty and Infringement Division proposed more than once to detain Zhou Xiuli on suspicion of dereliction of duty, but she refused to agree, fearing that she might accidentally fall into a passive position.Unexpectedly, today I fell into another passivity.In the past few days, there have been rumors that Wang Changgong suggested that the municipal party committee take down her as the chief prosecutor and let Chen Bo take over. If this is the case, things will be terrible... Unexpectedly, at this darkest moment, the mobile phone rang suddenly, and it rang frighteningly. Ye Zijing's heart jumped wildly: The call at three o'clock in the morning must be a big and urgent matter! Sure enough, when he turned on the phone and listened, it was Wu Chengyi, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, who was actually talking about Su Afu! Wu Chengyi opened his mouth on the phone and said, "Ye Jian, good news, Su Afu can't escape this time!" Ye Zijing was startled, tears burst out of her eyes suddenly: "Great, did you catch it, huh?" Wu Chengyi spoke quickly: "In a taxi, there are guns and explosives, surrounded by us!" Ye Zijing lost her voice and said: "Be careful, don't kill him. You must live, for sure!" Wu Chengyi said succinctly: "So, there is another bad news: Su Afu wants to see you, Chief Prosecutor Ye, by name!" Ye Zijing didn't even think about it: "Wu Ju, promise him. I'll rush over to see him immediately, immediately!" Wu Chengyi said: "Well, get ready, I've already sent a police car to pick you up!" Ye Zijing hurriedly said: "No need, our procuratorate has a driver on duty, tell me the location!" Wu Chengyi said: "Zhongshan West Road Central Gas Station, I will wait for you in front of the command car opposite the gas station!" Central gas station on Zhongshan West Road?My God, will Suafu detonate the gas station's oil depot with the explosives he is carrying? This is really bad news.When the police car on duty was roaring, and was rushing all the way to Zhongshan West Road, Ye Zijing thought anxiously, why did Su Afu suddenly ask to see her?There are only two possibilities: either Su Afu has something important to report to her, the chief prosecutor; or Su Afu, out of hatred for her and the procuratorate, wants to make a excuse when he dies. Persisting in pursuit made the "August 13" case reach this point...
