Chapter 91: All the accounts are in my mind

  Jian'an City Government Building.

  Two black Audi A6 cars with Fujian license plates slowed down and came to a stop.

  At this time, Liu Jianguo, Secretary of Jian'an Municipal Party Committee, Fang Liping, Mayor of Jian'an City, and several deputy mayors have arrived at the bottom of the building to welcome the special case group sent by the Provincial Public Security Department and the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission.

  "Oh... Old Zhu! I wondered who it was from the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission... So it's you..."

  As soon as the car door opened, Municipal Party Secretary Liu Jianguo saw the provincial discipline inspection leader getting out of the car and immediately went up to greet him with a big smile on his face, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries.

  "No choice! Old Liu, our secretary said that I'm from Jian'an City and I'm more familiar with the situation there, so they sent me over."

  Zhu Yi is the director of the Fujian Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection Office and also the leader of this disciplinary inspection team, with a rank equivalent to deputy department level. Previously, Zhu Yi also worked in the discipline inspection system in Jian'an City, when Liu Jianguo was the director of the Finance Bureau of Jian'an City, he had already served as the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Jian'an City. Later, Zhu Yi rose step by step and became the director of the Fujian Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection Office.

  "Damn it! Why did the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission send him over?"

  Seeing Liu Jianguo and Zhu Yi, the provincial discipline inspection commission, being affectionate, Fang Liping thought it was not good. She also knew Liu Jianguo, previously serving as the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission in Jian'an City, and had an old acquaintance with him. Whether there were any improper dealings between them, Fang Liping didn't know, but this development would indeed make things a bit tricky.

  "Mayor Fang, sorry to keep you waiting! There was a bit of traffic on the road, so I'm late."

  Getting off another car was Zheng Liangbo, the deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department. As soon as he got out of the car, he actually took the initiative to greet Fang Liping.

  "Director Zheng? You've come yourself?"

  Seeing Zheng Liangbo, Fang Liping was slightly surprised. Zheng Liangbo is the deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department, and for a county-level city's special case team, it would be usual to just send an office director over. However, since Zheng Liangbo had come in person, Fang Liping felt a bit more confident.

  After all, Fang Liping and Zheng Liangbo's relationship is not bad. To be precise, Zheng Liangbo actually belongs to the faction of Fang Liping's ex-husband's family.

  "This old bone of mine also wants to come out and take a walk. Coincidentally, I heard that your city has broken the case, so I took the initiative to ask the director to lead this special task force, borrowed this opportunity to come out and clear my mind, and by the way, came to see you!"

  Zheng Liangbo is already nearly sixty years old, with white hair and a half-bald head, his face always smiling, looking harmless. But who would have thought that such an almost grandfather-like figure would be the Vice Director of the Public Security Department of Fujian Province, one of the top ten police officers in the country?

  One case, two special task forces sent from two provinces. One was dispatched by the Provincial Public Security Department and the other by the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission. Although their functions are different, they are actually of the same nature. The province may also have considered this, so they sent Zhu Yi and Zheng Liangbo, one of whom has a good relationship with Liu Jianguo and the other is close to Fang Liping.

  "Alright! Alright! Director Zheng has also arrived, let's hurry... It's very windy today, don't stand outside anymore, go to the government building and we'll sit down and talk slowly."

  Liu Jianguo was not nervous at all, fearless and confident, as if he really had nothing to do with the case. This is his territory, so he naturally showed the attitude of a host, inviting the members of the two special case groups into the government building.

  "How's it going, Leping? I heard from the report that this time your public security system was quite bold and wiped out the old nest of the Dragon and Tiger Gang. They even found the gang's account book, which implicated a large number of people, so they sent a special task force from the province to crack down on it?"

  As they walked further in, Zheng Liangbo naturally fell into step beside Fang Liping and quietly asked her something.

  "Yes. Uncle Zheng, this time I have the confidence to catch them all in one net. As long as the account book is found, their crimes will be proven and not a single one of them can escape. After so many years, I've been waiting for this day, it's also time for Liu Jianguo and his accomplices to settle accounts. I will definitely avenge Zemin."

  Privately, Fang Liping affectionately called Zheng Liangbo "Uncle Zheng", but when mentioning this matter, Fang Liping still had a tone of gritted teeth.

  "This is a bit difficult! If there isn't solid evidence, you see Zhu Yi from the Discipline Inspection Commission, he had a lot of dealings with Liu Jianguo before. I don't dare to intervene here, after all, party members and cadres are under the Discipline Inspection Commission system for investigation. Here, I can only try my best to help you, put pressure on them."

  Zheng Liangbo sighed, this kind of thing he had seen many times. He himself was full of a sense of justice, in the public security system for thirty or forty years, step by step from the grassroots public security police to the deputy director of the provincial public security department, it was not easy at all. The phenomenon he saw was really too much, the evidence was insufficient, and they had no way to deal with them.

  "Don't worry! Uncle Zheng, I'll make a call right away and have Yan Longyong, the head of the criminal police team in charge of this case, come back with all the case files and evidence."

  As she spoke, Fang Liping walked aside and dialed the phone number of Yan Longyong, the captain of the criminal police team.

  "Hello! I'm Fang Liping, Captain Yan. How's it going on your end? The special case group sent by the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission and the Public Security Department has arrived. Bring all evidence and materials related to the case to the government building for a report to the provincial party committee leaders."

  "Mayor Fang, I have failed in my mission. The black-clad intruders who broke into the Su's residence were caught, but... the account book had already been burned by them. The crucial evidence... is gone..."

  After receiving Fang Liping's phone call, Yan Longyong also said with a difficult expression.

  "What? The account book was burned?" Fang Liping's heart chilled, originally thought it was a sure thing, but now something went wrong, the key evidence, the account book, couldn't be found. To accuse Municipal Party Secretary Liu Jianguo and others would be extremely difficult.

  "Director Yan. Never mind how it is for now, bring all the materials, confessions and records to the government building first."

  After a moment of contemplation, Fang Liping was thinking of a solution in her heart, but she still had to let Yan Longyong bring over all the existing evidence first.

  "Hmm! Mayor Fang, our police also obtained a lot of oral evidence during the interrogation. Many officials are involved, but those related to Municipal Party Secretary Liu Jianguo are relatively few, and the evidence is not yet sufficient. The key is that account book. Now that the account book is gone, it's too difficult to bring him down with just this evidence."

  "Come first and talk later! If not, it can only be put on hold for now."

  She let out a sigh and hung up the phone. She didn't expect that after planning for so long, something would still go wrong at the last minute. No wonder Liu Jianguo was so fearless today - it turned out he had known all along that the account book had been destroyed, and must have sent someone to do it.

  "What's wrong? Captain Yan, now that the account book has been burned, what can be done?"

  Su Lin listened on the side, also anxious, if he couldn't pull out the power of the Liu family father and son from Jian'an City at once, then his own home, his parents, would definitely suffer revenge from the Liu family father and son, either openly or secretly.

  "Sulin, sorry. Now the provincial government has sent a special task force and they have arrived at our government building. I must rush back to report to them, submit materials and evidence. Ah... for now, there is no account book, although other evidence in our hands can bring down some officials, it's hard to shake the big trees behind."

  Yan Longyong's face wasn't looking good either, he had been planning this for a long time, but in the end it was all for nothing. Now that they had caught this batch of people from the Dragon and Tiger List, as long as the people supporting them from behind, such as Liu Jianguo, didn't fall, and the leader Qin Long hadn't been caught, they would quickly gather another batch of people to rise again.

  "Ledger! Ledger! Captain Yan, is it enough to just have the bribery transaction records inside this ledger? Do we not need the original ledger?"

  Su Lin also had a worried look on his face, thinking about the account book, but in his mind, page by page, the specific content of each page of the account book appeared, that was his super memory, he didn't forget after reading it once, at that time, he casually flipped through the account book, almost every page was turned over, now carefully recalling in his mind, surprisingly, the content of each page was remembered clearly.

  "The account book itself is meaningless, what we want is the detailed transaction records on it. Because these detailed transaction records record every bribe's account number, time and amount. Even what cars and goods were given, as long as we have this information, it's easy to verify and investigate. This is ironclad evidence, leaving them speechless."

  Yan Longyong ordered the police officers to retreat while explaining to Su Lin, "But now the original account books have been destroyed. Those transaction records can never be found again, if only they had been photocopied earlier. Su Lin, I'm going to rush to the government building now, and just in case, I'll leave two detectives here to protect your and your family's safety."

  "Captain Yan, take me with you!"

  Upon hearing Yan Longyong's words, Su Lin finally relaxed her eyebrows and smiled, saying "Take me with you! I'm confident, I can help you take them down."

  "What? Su Lin. Take you with me? What's the use of taking you?"

  Yan Longyong was taken aback, "At that time, the one facing you will be the provincial leaders, and you won't even have a chance to speak. However, as someone who has seen the account book, you can go. But with just your testimony as a witness, it's still not enough to be convincing. What's lacking is still the account book..."

  "Captain Yan, take me with you! Trust me, all the accounts are in my head!"

  Su Lin had a confident look on her face, and with a smile, she said, "I've seen that account book before. I flipped through it casually at the time, and I still remember what's written in it."

  "Do you remember everything in the account book?" Yan Longyong questioned, "Impossible! Su Lin. The situation was so urgent at that time, and there were so many contents in the account book. You can't possibly remember all of them, can you?"

  "Captain Yan, don't say any more. Hurry up and get on the car, give me paper and pen, if you don't believe me, I'll restore the account book for you on the way."

  As he spoke, Su Lin pulled Yan Longyong onto the car instead.
