Chapter 12 Section 12

The trouble finally came. One day in autumn, Li Jinkui suddenly received a call from Li Hongye.Li Hongye said on the phone that something happened to her and it was urgent, so he must go there. Li Jinkui's heart skipped a beat, and he was silent for a long time into the microphone, but he went anyway.He went there at night, and when he went upstairs, he found Li Hongye standing alone by the window with a gloomy face and a half-lit cigarette in her hand. She glanced at him and said, "Sit down." After sitting down, Li Jinkui asked, "What happened?" Li Hongye said: "He was arrested."

Li Jinkui asked, "Who?" Li Hongye lowered her head and said, "My husband." Li Jinkui glanced at her: "..." Li Hongye was silent for a while, then said: "His company went bankrupt..." Afterwards, neither of them said anything. After a long silence, Li Hongye said: "I wrote a letter, please read it, you will understand it immediately." Li Jinkui looked down, and there was indeed a letter on the coffee table.He picked up the letter, looked, looked, just stared at it.Then, he stretched out his hand, took out a cigarette and smoked it. This was a subconscious action when he was thinking about the problem. An old blue leather notepad, the kind of small notebook that people who drink often carry in their pockets, with a strong smell of cigarettes and a faint smell of wine on it.In this blue notepad, there are clearly recorded records of 36 people, including the secretary of the municipal party committee and the deputy mayor, accepting and extorting bribes, with a total amount of as much as 58,000 yuan!One of the deputy mayor's bribery records is: thirty-six bottles of Moutai, a color TV, and a camera!Even a section chief of the tax bureau even "borrowed" 6,000 yuan at a time... I remember the time and place clearly.

Really? No way? If this happened, wouldn't the municipal party committee and the municipal government, which leads a population of 800,000, be too, too... Li Jinkui lit his cigarette and took a puff silently. After a while, Li Jinkui raised his head and said, "Did he not confess after he was arrested?" Li Hongye shook his head and said, "He said, he won't say it even if he dies." Li Jinkui asked, "Why?" Li Hongye said: "He still has a glimmer of hope, he is afraid of revenge..." Li Jinkui read the denunciation letter carefully again.Gradually, he became a little impulsive, and this urge made him thirsty.He grabbed the herbal tea on the coffee table and took a sip, then walked around the room with his hands behind his back.Walking, walking, he gritted his teeth, a cavity of blood was surging in his chest... Then, his pace slowly slowed down, walking slower and slower... The opportunity came!

Wait a minute, where are the witnesses?There are no witnesses.Soliciting and accepting bribes is done individually, one-on-one, without the presence of a third party.These people are too smart!But judging from the color of the ink on the notepad and the time it was recorded, it doesn't look like a fake. However, there were no witnesses. Li Jinkui turned around and looked at Li Hongye, and said, "You didn't participate?" Li Hongye shook his head. Li Jinkui asked again: "Are you really not involved?" Li Hongye said coldly, "Are you afraid that I will hurt you?"

After a while, Li Hongye said again: "If I participated, I would directly stand up and sue them, so I don't need to find you. Although I told him...but he has kindness to me. At this time, I can't No matter.” She said, crying. Li Jinkui thought, this is a tricky matter, and he cannot express his opinion easily.But he clearly felt Li Hongye's eyes begging for help, which pierced his back like a thorn!Finally, Li Jinkui said, "Let me think about it." Back in the room of the guest house, Li Jinkui smoked three cigarettes in a row... What is this?How do you tell the next one?Just approve it directly?An anonymous letter.After approval, doesn't that mean handing it over to them directly?

If this blue notepad is handed over to the court, then the municipal party committee compound will know immediately.Thirty-seven cadres were offended in one fell swoop!They will soon put pressure on Li Ergou who is in custody.They are totally doable.Under strong pressure, Li Ergou would insist that there was no such thing, he would.That way, they would say, it's a false accusation.If Li Ergou doesn't admit it, what can this small book explain?At this point, things will slowly drag down, and dragging is also a tactic.After a long time, all their relationships will be thrown into battle... At that time, they will bite back, saying that he has a relationship with Li Hongye, that his style is not decent, and they can even find evidence. Fly all over the sky!It will soon spread to the prefectural and provincial party committees, making him a stink!prevent him from working here.The blueprint has already been handed over, even if he has a thousand mouths, he still can't explain it clearly.He's done, and everything can go on as usual.

This is a lost battle.He saw his end in a preview in his mind.From now on, no matter where he goes, public opinion will follow, and a lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth.Can a person who can't even protect himself change society?The cigarette burned his finger, he shivered, and refilled another... Suppose, he copies the exposure letter and the blueprint for the record, and then hand it over to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and ask them to send an investigation team.They may come, and they may ask the province to come forward.If people from the province are allowed to come, the wind will also come out.Then, before the people from the province came, the biggest concession made by the thirty-seven bribe-taking cadres was just to "spit out" the things they had accepted and asked for bribes in the past, and spit them out quietly.This is tantamount to a tie, no winners or losers. In principle, he did it aboveboard and impeccable;He will smile on the face, and will stretch out seventy-four legs to trip you in private!

If he went to talk to the prisoner in person, give him a further explanation of the policy, let him look at the blue book, let him know that Li Hongye has exposed it, and further dispel his worries and illusions.Will he confess?If he can confess, he will organize a special team to check the accounts and cash expenditures one by one, and confront Li Ergou item by item.In this way, although facing the relationship network formed by thirty-six cadres over the years, he may tear a corner and then expand rapidly, he believes he can do it.At that point, the city team can reconsider. However, this must all be done fairly.Can he make it public?Someone would know when he moved, and to do it publicly he had to be prepared for the worst, ready to throw everything away.Can he do it?

At this moment, Li Jinkui was pacing up and down the room like a general in a decisive battle.He felt that this was an opportunity, and it was equivalent to having a breakthrough to change the status quo of the city government, but he changed various playing styles time and time again, thinking about various different chess moves.The more I think about it, the less sure I am of success... Jin Kui, do you want to give up this opportunity? Who said give up? Then you do it!Send this book to the prefectural committee and ask the prefectural commissioner to check it. The prefectural committee is not monolithic either.

Find a newspaper reporter.Journalists will find a way. The reporter can do whatever he wants, and when he is done, he pats his ass and leaves.But you still have to live here.In one place, there are thirty-six people who are against you, is your life easy? Then you let it go? At this time, the phone rang.Li Jinkui looked at his watch, it was already midnight.He knew that this call was from Li Hongye, but he didn't answer it. He didn't know what to say to her... He owed her enough, but she never begged him. Now, it's time for him to repay the debt What should he do? The phone keeps ringing...

At four o'clock in the morning, Li Jinkui had already inserted the thirty-ninth cigarette butt in the ashtray.His mouth was very dry and bitter, but he still lit the last cigarette, and after two puffs, he pressed it into the ashtray restlessly.At this moment, he took out a coin from his pocket, tossed it in his palm, and placed it on the table.After a while, he picked up the coin again, and after several times, he said silently: Well, if this coin is tossed down, if the "national emblem" faces up, I will do it!If the "ear of wheat" is facing up, just let them go. Thus, at 4:36 in the morning, the honor was born in the hands of the mayor of Dalizhuang Village. Li Jinkui threw a coin out of his palm!With a crisp sound of "clang", a silver light flashed, and the coin with a great mission rolled from the table to the ground... (End of the full text)
