Chapter 53 Section 53
As an experienced chief prosecutor, Ye Zijing thought of the special interests between Wang Changgong and Zhou Xiuli more than once.Especially after learning that Wang Changgong personally came forward and went to the provincial procuratorate and the provincial high court to work for Zhou Xiuli, he felt more and more that there was something in it.Previous experience in handling cases told her that criminals with backgrounds like Zhou Xiuli generally would not throw out their backgrounds until the last desperate moment.Three years ago, when the big corruption case of the municipal investment company was handled, the boss involved in the case was very stubborn. He thought that someone would protect him and refused to explain the problem. It was not until the death penalty was announced that he explained the deputy mayor behind him.Maybe Zhou Xiuli was just like that boss, waiting for Wang Changgong to save her. When she really couldn't save her, she was about to collapse and vomit quickly.
However, later facts proved that this judgment was wrong.With the support of the Provincial Procuratorate, the protest was successful, and Zhou Xiuli was sentenced to death in the second instance.Although Zhou Xiuli's spirit was broken, she didn't vomit quickly, and she didn't mention anything about Wang Changgong.Ye Zijing asked the Director of Public Prosecution Gao Wenhui to continue to work, trying to find out Zhou Xiuli's remaining crimes.However, Zhou Xiuli refused to cooperate and cried and made noises, which made Gao Wenhui helpless.What made Ye Zijing even more annoyed was that Zhou Xiuli's husband, Professor Gui Lv, actually brought his eight-year-old son to block her door, asking her to save Zhou Xiuli a way out.Ye Zijing had no choice but to give the statistics professor a legal class, and at the same time asked the professor not to let the young and ignorant children get involved, leaving an unhealable trauma on the child's young mind.
As a result, there was a lot of discussion in the society, saying that those who deserved death did not die, and those who did not deserve death would die, especially the government officials, who reacted more strongly, and some people openly scolded Ye Zijing for being cruel.Tang Zhaoyang's situation is also not good. It is said that due to Wang Changgong's insistence, his dismissal is a foregone conclusion, but his future direction is not clear for a while.Word has spread in the city government compound that many comrades have prepared firecrackers, and they are just waiting for the secretary of the municipal party committee who doesn't care about other people's life to get out, and then set off firecrackers to celebrate and send off the plague god.There were quite a few people who scolded Chen Hanjie behind his back, but Chen Hanjie was not like Tang Zhaoyang who had no foundation in Changshan. He had a group of cadres who knew the basics, and he could live on.These cadres were quite dissatisfied with this abnormal status quo, either out of their own sense of justice or out of their years of affection for Chen Hanjie, and asked Chen Hanjie one after another: What's going on?What kind of political trick did Wang Changgong turn into?Can't pull it down?Chen Hanjie's answer was very veiled: Who wants to bring down Comrade Wang Changgong?A person's downfall is his own downfall!
Up to this time, Wang Changgong has not shown any signs of downfall—not only has there been no signs of downfall, but his prestige has increased unprecedentedly, and he has become a great savior in the mouths of some cadres.People add fuel to the legend of the bizarre story of Wang Changgong protecting cadres, saying that without Wang Changgong's protection, I don't know how many cadres would have to be dealt with!The protection of Zhou Xiuli not only did not become an excuse for people to criticize Wang Changgong, but instead reflected Wang Changgong's kindness and righteousness.
During this period, Chen Hanjie and Tang Zhaoyang kept calling to find out about Ye Zijing and the procuratorate.Ye Zijing knew what Chen Hanjie and Tang Zhaoyang wanted to know, but, no, there was indeed nothing on her side.Zhou Xiuli's gap was never opened, and Wang Changgong was not involved in the bribe-taking cadres on the blacklist.In fact, even if there are such cases, she cannot provide them unprincipled. It is one thing for her to sympathize with them emotionally and support their just stand, but it is another thing to handle the case according to the procedures stipulated by law.Law enforcement officers cannot have personal affairs, and the law does not allow revenge, no matter whether the person is Wang Changgong or Li Changgong.Therefore, every time she received calls from Tang Zhaoyang and Chen Hanjie, Ye Zijing always reminded herself to stay rational and sober, told herself not to act emotionally, and asked herself to go back to the original state of scrutiny of Zha Tiezhu, while legally scrutinizing Wang Changgong. time, strive to be objective.
The previous experience was useless, and Ye Zijing even doubted her own judgment: Is Wang Changgong really a person with both principles and affection?Didn't Wang Changgong use his power to seek personal gain for Zhou Xiuli or himself during his relationship with Zhou Xiuli?Didn't you approve any notes?If this is the case, if Wang Changgong and Zhou Xiuli have only had a personal relationship for many years, if Wang Changgong is very strict with Zhou Xiuli financially, how dare Zhou Xiuli accept Su Afu's 300,000 yuan bribe to cause this catastrophe? ?
What Ye Zijing didn't expect was that the development of the matter was quite dramatic: although Zhou Xiuli refused to speak up and Wang Changgong was not allowed to fall into her hands, Su Afu unexpectedly provided important clues!
Su Afu had a strong desire to survive, and after the appeal was rejected, he still did not give up. An hour before the execution, he suddenly said that he still had some problems to explain, and asked to continue to explain.During the period of suspension of execution, Su Afu did not reveal any new major crime facts, but he lived for another eighteen days.Last week, the Supreme People's Court issued a new death penalty execution order. In view of the lessons learned last time, the responsible comrades of the Supreme People's Procuratorate made a special phone call and asked the Changshan Procuratorate to do its job well and make sure that the death penalty is executed before the death penalty is executed. Su Afu finished what he wanted to say, and there must be no more accidents.
Su Afu's critical report to Wang Changgong happened 24 hours before the execution.Su Afu spent the last 24 hours with Liu Pinghua, a young prosecutor from the Prosecution Division.Liu Pinghua was in charge of Su Afu's case in detail. He had dealt with Su Afu for more than two months and knew Su Afu's mentality very well.Liu Pinghua finally did Su Afu's work in the death row, and asked Su Afu to confess his guilt and obey the law, so as not to make any more troubles.Su Afu made another incident, and proposed to see Ye Zijing for the last time, saying that he remembered an important clue and wanted to have a face-to-face interview with Ye Zijing.Liu Pinghua didn't expect that this report would involve Wang Changgong, so he asked Su Afu to tell him.Su Afu quit and pretended that he should either ask Ye Zijing to come over, or he would report to the execution ground tomorrow.
Under such circumstances, Ye Zijing had no choice but to rush to the death row to meet Su Afu, and she had no hope at all: during the eighteen days of the suspension of execution, this person did not reveal anything new, so why did this happen? Time to explain again?At first, Ye Zijing agreed with Liu Pinghua's judgment, thinking that Su Afu was just cheating.
Therefore, as soon as she arrived on the death row, Ye Zijing did Su Afu's work in a pleasant manner and said: "Su Afu, you know what crime you committed, our indictment and the court's verdict clearly stated: shooting the taxi driver, plotting Exploding a gas station is a serious violent crime; wanton bribery, the consequences of bribery are extremely serious, resulting in the death of 156 people, what do you say you are so shameless? Isn't Zhou Xiuli sentenced to death for taking 300,000 bribes? "
It was only then that Su Afu found out that Zhou Xiuli had also been sentenced to death, and he couldn't help being a little surprised. He was stunned for a long time before he said, "Why, Ye Jian, you...you have succeeded in your protest? And...you really committed Zhou Xiuli's death penalty." ?what?"
Ye Zijing nodded: "Su Afu, I mean what I say, and I have fulfilled all the promises I made to you! Including Zhou Xiuli, no criminal has slipped away from me! So, don't be delusional. !"
Su Afu stopped talking about his own affairs, and murmured, "Governor Wang Changgong didn't protect Zhou Xiuli?"
Ye Zijing looked at Su Afu and said: "Vice Governor Wang Changgong also has to act within the scope of the law. China is a country ruled by law, and no one has the privilege of going beyond the law!"
Su Afu, wearing shackles and handcuffs, sat down on the edge of the bed and listened blankly, wondering what to think.
Ye Zijing said sincerely again: "Su Afu, you are still a loyal person, and you surrendered to me again. Objectively, you helped us handle the case, not to mention repaying you, I have to talk about feelings. Your death penalty No one can avoid it, and the result will be the same if you change anyone to handle your case. But the law does not allow lovers to be merciless, so tell me now, is there anything at home that you are worried about? Is there anything else that needs me and the procuratorate to help you? If Bring it up!"
With tears in his eyes, Su Afu raised his head: "Ye Jian, you...are you and the procuratorate really willing to help me?"
Ye Zijing solemnly said: "Yes, as long as it is within the scope of the law, we will definitely try our best to help you!"
Su Afu thought for a while: "Ye Jian, you know, my son Su Dongdi is what I am most worried about. All the assets of me and the rich man have been seized, and Dongdi's study abroad has been ruined. I have been sent to prison for tax evasion all these years, and it is estimated that he will be sentenced for several years. What about this child? Ye Jian, can you save some living expenses for my son? Also, can you change my son’s name and school? Don't let people know that he is my son!"
Ye Zijing agreed: "Yes, it is not a big problem to change Su Dongdi's name and change schools. I will ask the comrades from the Public Security Bureau and the Education Bureau to help you as soon as possible. The problem of the child's living expenses can also be solved, but, Your expectations should not be too high, it is impossible to be as extravagant as in the past, let's try our best to arrange it!"
Su Afu was very moved, choked up, and said again and again: "Ye Jian, then...then I am very... thank you so much!" Seeing Ye Zijing standing all the time, he said, "Ye Jian, sit down. Sit down, I will I still have something to tell you!"
Ye Zijing didn't dare to sit down, even though she was discharged from the hospital, her hip injury still didn't heal quickly, but she couldn't talk to Su Afu, so she just said: "Su Afu, leave me alone, if you have anything else to say, just say it , don’t leave any regrets!”
Su Afu looked at the armed police and Liu Pinghua who were guarding in front of him: "Ye Jian, can you let them go out?"
Ye Zijing shook her head: "I'm afraid this is not possible. The detention center has regulations on guarding death-row prisoners."
Su Afu had no choice but to say in front of the armed police and Liu Pinghua: "I want to meet my wife and explain something!"
Ye Zijing smiled wryly: "Su Afu, you know, this won't work, your wife's tax evasion case is still in the process of trial, how can I violate the regulations and let you meet? If you really want to explain to your wife, just explain to us Well, we are responsible for conveying, and, you can also write a suicide note, you have the right."
Su Afu was unwilling to give up, and looked at Ye Zijing with tears in his eyes: "Ye Jian, can we make an exchange? You arrange for my wife to come and meet with me right away, and I will give you another clue, the big one! "
Ye Zijing instinctively felt that the big one might be Wang Changgong, and her heart suddenly rose.
Su Afu kept begging: "Ye Jian, I have no other intentions, just want to meet up, ten minutes is enough..."
Ye Zijing didn't dare to agree, but she couldn't give up the important clues that Su Afu might provide. After thinking about it, she turned around and walked out of the cell door, asking Su Afu to wait a while, saying that she would ask for instructions immediately and give Su Afu an answer immediately.
At the office of the detention center, I had to call Chief Prosecutor Ding of the Provincial Procuratorate, and reported the situation to Procurator Ding.Ding Jian made an exception and agreed, and asked Ye Zijing, how long will it take for Su Afu and his wife to meet this time?Ye Zijing thought, since she had asked for instructions, she might as well buy a little more time, so she said, about half an hour!Ding Jian instructed, let’s set it for half an hour. You strictly control the time, and when Su Afu meets his wife, our procuratorate and armed police comrades must be present to closely monitor to avoid any accidents.Ye Zijing agreed.
Su Afu was very satisfied when he learned that the meeting would last for half an hour, but Su Afu could not accept that the meeting before his death would be monitored by armed police and prosecutors, and insisted that everyone go out, so he was given half an hour of silence.
Ye Zijing was really embarrassed, and said to Su Afu: "Su Afu, it is already an exception to get you half an hour. How can it be done without supervision? What if you colluded with your wife? You killed your wife , or your wife killed you, so what should we do? How can we explain it? Put yourself in my shoes and think about it for me!"
Su Afu thought for Ye Zijing: "Ye Jian, you are a good person, I admire you, and I don't want to embarrass you! Do you think this is good? Just you stay and watch us, let Liu Pinghua and the armed police go out! "
Ye Zijing felt that it was impossible for Su Afu to be cruel to her, so she agreed and said, "That's fine too!"
Liu Pinghua immediately objected: "Hey, Ye Jian, this is not going to work, it does not comply with safety regulations!"
An armed police soldier also said: "Procurator Ye, we are responsible for your safety!"
Su Afu was upset: "I won't touch Ye Jian! Lock me up on the bed!"
The problem was solved in this way, and Su Afu was voluntarily locked on the iron bed specially used for death row prisoners, and saw his wife for the last time.It was 21:10 that night when Su Afu's wife walked into the death row. A small electronic clock was placed in front of Su Afu, and Su Afu said to Ye Zijing: "Ye Jian, you can remember the time!"
When death is imminent, his words are also kind. Suafu and his wife have said a lot.He said that he not only harmed the one hundred and fifty-six people in the "August 13" fire, but also harmed himself and their family.Su Afu mentioned with emotion his wife's reminder to him more than ten years ago, tears flowed, and he regretted endlessly. He said that he wanted to see her for the last time before he died because of this deep regret.Su Afu's wife was already distraught, hugging Su Afu and crying loudly, why are you still talking about this now?At that time, you didn't listen to me, and even scolded and beat me. In order to make money, you were desperate!
Ye Zijing watched silently from the side, and listened, feeling admiration in her heart.She is very familiar with Su Afu's criminal files. In the course of doing business for more than ten years, Su Afu poisoned many people and the surrounding environment by giving gifts and bribes.In turn, the toxic environment and many people around him are constantly poisoning him.Under the circumstance that public power is alienated and widely used, under the premise that power can be purchased by money and serve the purchaser, and in an environment where people generally give up responsibility and morality in pursuit of money, Suafu’s ending is doomed. Even if there is no today, there will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.In this sense, Suafu is also a victim.
The scene of parting from life and death in the death row made Ye Zijing never forget it in the course of her subsequent life.
Su Afu kept his word, and agreed that half an hour would be half an hour. When the electronic clock in front of him pointed to 21:39, Su Afu didn't use Ye Zijing to remind him, so he took the initiative to say goodbye to his wife: "...Okay , let’s go, let’s go! Let Su Dongdi remember my lesson, don’t break the law, and be a decent person!”
Almost at the same time that Su Afu finished his last sentence, Liu Pinghua, armed police and prison guards rushed through the door.
Su Afu's wife was escorted away by prison guards, and the atmosphere in the death row was suddenly terribly silent.
In the silence, Liu Pinghua reminded: "Su Afu, should you explain the big one now?"
Su Afu rolled his eyelids at Liu Pinghua, and said weakly: "I only tell Ye Jian, and I will obey Ye Jian!"
Ye Zijing walked to Su Afu's side, and said kindly: "Su Afu, your confession must be accompanied by circumstantial evidence. Tell me, you are a loyal person, now, please fulfill your promise!"
Only now was Su Afu lying on the death row prisoner's bed, handcuffed and fettered, and made a final confession. His throat was full of phlegm, and his voice was numb and empty, not like a living person speaking, but like a voice from a grave: "Ye Prosecutor, I'm not trying to play tricks on you and the procuratorate, let alone trying to protect Wang Changgong. I'm a little uncertain about this matter. Thinking about it now, I still have to say it for your reference! In 1999, Wang Changgong Mayor Shandang, I am competing with Boss Xiong of New World Real Estate Company for the plot of No. 6 Jiefang Road. For the relationship between Xiuli and Wang Changgong, Zhou Xiuli sent 400,000 yuan to Wang Changgong through Zhou Xiuli. Zhou Xiuli assured me that the land would be granted to me. Unexpectedly, the land was finally taken by Boss Xiong of New World Real Estate Company , Boss Xiong made a profit of 9.8 million!"
This is a new situation that has never been grasped before!Zhou Xiuli dared to guarantee a ticket on behalf of Wang Changgong, and dared to accept a bribe of 400,000 from Su Afu, which is enough to show that there is a special interest relationship between the two!What's even more strange is that Zhou Xiuli took 400,000 yuan from Su Afu, but Wang Changgong gave the land to that boss Xiong. What's going on?Boss Xiong earned 9.8 million yuan without any effort. Can he lose Wang Changgong and Zhou Xiuli? !Boss Xiong and his New World Real Estate Company are very famous in Changshan. The company signboard is all inscribed by Wang Changgong!
Ye Zijing suppressed the excitement in her heart, and asked as calmly as possible: "Then the 400,000 you gave will be thrown away for nothing?"
Su Afu said: "I didn't throw it in vain. Within a few days, Zhou Xiuli returned the 400,000 cents to me. Therefore, I am not sure: first, whether Zhou Xiuli can really represent Wang Changgong? I don’t know; secondly, the money I gave to Zhou Xiuli, if Zhou Xiuli returned it to me, could it still be regarded as bribery? Wouldn’t you accept Boss Xiong’s money and do things for Boss Xiong when you do something? I think Boss Xiong’s price must be higher, far more than 400,000 yuan! However, this is just my wild guess.”
Ye Zijing knew it well: this is not a random guess, there is indeed a problem with the transfer of the No. 6 plot of Jiefang Road, even a very serious problem.If her judgment is correct, if Wang Changgong and Zhou Xiuli do have a special interest relationship, everything Wang Changgong has done so far can be reasonably explained.
After coming out of the detention center, Ye Zijing did not go home, and immediately rushed to the procuratorate to make arrangements overnight, asking the prosecution director Gao Wenhui not to give up his efforts, and continue to do Zhou Xiuli's work based on the latest situation provided by Su Afu; asking Wu Zhongqiu and the Anti-Corruption Bureau Comrade Xiong Xianghai, the boss of the New World Real Estate Company, acted immediately and summoned Xiong Xianghai, the boss of New World Real Estate Company, to arrest him if necessary;
As expected, the document was approved by Wang Changgong, in black and white, with solid evidence.What surprised Ye Zijing even more was that Xiong Xianghai, the boss of New World Real Estate Company, was blocked by Wu Zhongqiu and comrades from the Anti-Corruption Bureau that night. RMB 4.8 million was sent to Wang Changgong through Zhou Xiuli.Things are going so smoothly, Ye Zijing is a little worried, afraid that Wu Zhongqiu and the comrades of the Anti-Corruption Bureau are eager to seek credit and give Xiong Xianghai a trick.Wu Zhongqiu couldn't stop laughing on the phone, and reported, Ye Jian, don't worry, Xiong Xianghai took the initiative to explain this!When Xiong Xianghai saw us, he was paralyzed, thinking that Zhou Xiuli could not stand the death sentence anymore, so he confessed to him, so he decided to take the path of confession and leniency!
The next day, Su Afu was taken to the execution ground and executed by shooting.Liu Pinghua continued to perform his duties and supervise the execution of the death penalty in accordance with the law.According to what Liu Pinghua told Ye Zijing afterwards, Su Afu did not forget Wang Changgong until his death. Before he was shot dead, he even confessed to Liu Pinghua that if Wang Changgong was really involved, don’t forget to tell him...
