Chapter 93: The City Party Secretary Falls

  "Captain Yan dares to say this, could it be that he has found some crucial evidence again?"

  At this moment, Fang Liping's heart was also turbulent, and she did not expect Yan Longyong to directly point out Liu Jianguo and others.

  In this way, they have no way out, it's either you die or I live, and evidence must be produced to prove the crimes of Liu Jianguo and others.

  "Liping, what's going on here... are you guys putting on some kind of show? Is there really solid evidence? Otherwise, this isn't a small issue, even if it were me, I wouldn't be able to shut up so many mouths."

  Zheng Liangbo also slightly furrowed his brow and whispered to Fang Liping beside him.

  "Zheng Lao, this... I don't know what evidence Captain Yan has obtained either. Originally, there was a crucial piece of evidence, an account book, but it was destroyed by someone sent by Liu Jianguo. Now... now I'm not sure about the situation on Captain Yan's side either. However, since Captain Yan dares to say this, he must have grasped key evidence."

  Now Fang Liping can only put all her hopes on Yan Longyong, expecting him to have found new evidence.

  "Are you Yan Longyong, the captain of Jian'an City's Criminal Investigation Division and the person in charge of this case?"

  At this time, Zhu Yi of the Discipline Inspection Commission spoke up and stared at Yan Longyong, saying, "Do you know how serious your words just now were? You slandered several department-level and deputy department-level national officials, do you know what a huge crime that is?"

  With a hint of accusation, Zhu Yi has made his attitude clear, obviously standing on the side of Liu Jianguo.

  "Director Zhu, let's just have Captain Yan bring out the evidence and take a look at how we secretaries and directors are connected to the Dragon and Tiger Society."

  Liu Jianguo had an air of fearlessness, in his view, as long as that account book was burned, there was nothing that could truly threaten his evidence. All the other loose ends had been cleaned up by him, and it was impossible to bring him down at this time.

  "Alright! Captain Yan, then please bring out the evidence. Otherwise, I will also investigate your responsibility."

  Zhu Yi said with a serious expression, and after finishing speaking, he intentionally turned his head to solicit Zheng Liangbo's opinion, "Old Zheng, what do you think of my handling of this matter?"

  "It's about the style of party members and cadres, which is originally within the scope of your discipline inspection commission. Of course, I'll listen to you, there's nothing wrong with that."

  Zheng Liangbo finished speaking, looked at Fang Liping, sighed and said to her in a low voice, "Liping! It seems that this battle is not easy to fight!"

  "Want evidence? Well, everyone please take a look, here... are the confessions of the small bosses of the Dragon and Tiger Gang during our police interrogation, which involve 13 bureau-level cadres. Above them are their signatures and fingerprints. The confession clearly states how they followed the orders of Qin Long and Yan Hu, the leaders of the Dragon and Tiger Gang, to give gifts and do things for these cadres..."

  Firstly, Yan Longyong took out more than ten transcripts of oral confessions and then a special secretary brought these transcripts to the members of the task force for them to browse.

  "Hmm! Captain Yan, in my opinion, the confessions of these hoodlums are not very credible. Moreover, in the records, they only vaguely mention some minor conflicts between these hoodlums and party cadres. You're using this as evidence to make a judgment, isn't that unconvincing?"

  "Moreover, these records do not implicate Municipal Party Secretary Liu Jianguo. What makes you slander Secretary Liu and say he has connections with the Dragon and Tiger Gang?"

  "In my opinion, Captain Yan, this can't be blamed on you. You must have been misled by someone else, and using this case, someone instructed you to frame me, right?"

  With a pointed finger, Liu Jianguo wanted to hint to Yan Longyong, letting him defect at the last minute, indicating that everything was done under Fang Liping's orders. This would instead allow them to defeat Fang Liping's army.

  "Secretary Liu, I haven't been instigated by anyone. Everything I've done is based on fairness and justice, all for the people of Jian'an City. Fine, you want evidence? I'll give you evidence right away."

  With a spirited and heroic air, Yan Long had never been so excited as he was today. He turned his head to look back at Su Lin and urged him on: "Su Lin, are you done yet?"

  "Alright, alright! Captain Yan, and finally... great success!"

  Su Lin, who had followed Yan Longyong in, was hiding in the corner filling out an account book by himself, not drawing any attention to himself. Except for Fang Liping glancing at him a few times, the other officials' gazes were mainly focused on Yan Longyong.

  Now, everyone takes a look at Yan Longyong's momentum, and it turns out that the most critical evidence has been in Su Lin's hands all along. So, the attention of the whole audience is focused on Su Lin again.

  "Now that the great undertaking is complete... Su Lin, why don't you announce the contents of this ledger?"

  On a whim, Yan Longyong surprisingly gave this opportunity to show off to Su Lin, and even winked at him, meaning, look! I'm giving you this great chance, kid.

  "Should I speak? Is... is this appropriate?" Su Lin felt a bit intimidated, with so many high-ranking officials here, and Fang Leping also looking at him, he was indeed a little nervous.

  However, he immediately saw Fang Liping casting encouraging glances at him, so he plucked up the courage, holding the account book and began to announce: "Ladies and gentlemen, this account book in my hand is a detailed record of the bribes given by the Dragon and Tiger Society to officials of all levels in Jian'an City over the years. Including every official's every bribe record, time, place and specific amount are recorded in great detail..."

  "Impossible! How could you possibly get your hands on the Dragon Tiger Gang's ledger? It must be fake. Look at the material of the notebook in his hand, it's clearly just a middle school student's notebook. How could the Dragon Tiger Gang possibly use this to keep accounts?"

  Liu Jianguo finally started to get a little flustered, interrupting Su Lin's words and pointing at the notebook in his hand. Everyone else also turned to look at the notebook in Su Lin's hand, and indeed it was a middle school student's notebook, which Su Lin had brought out from home for the purpose of recording accounts.

  "That's right. Secretary Liu is correct, this notebook is not the original Dragon and Tiger Gang account book. The real account book has been stolen and burned."

  Su Lin sold a pass, paused for a moment, looked at Liu Jianguo's expression, and then raised his voice again, "But I had flipped through this account book before. So, relying on my memory, I rewrote all the contents in the account book. This... is the account book in my hand now!"

  Holding the ledger, Su Lin spoke eloquently, "This ledger records evidence of crimes committed by Liu Jianguo, Secretary of Jian'an Municipal Party Committee, and dozens of other officials. Each entry is verifiable with time, place, account number, items..."

  "Impossible! Impossible! How can you believe a child's words? What he writes is evidence just because he says so? It's ridiculous!"

  Liu Jianguo started to panic, hastily shouting, "Someone, security! Get this kid out of here, this is a serious government meeting, how can we let a kid spout nonsense! Security! Where's the security?"

  "Secretary Liu, what are you panicking about? Since there's nothing to hide in your heart, let Su Lin bring the account book up and have the task force investigate according to the numbers on it."

  In an instant, Fang Liping also didn't expect that Su Lin would only glance at it a few times and be able to recite the entire contents of the account book without missing a single word.

  "Ah... young man, your name is Su Lin, isn't it? Hand over the account book in your hand, we will definitely investigate thoroughly."

  Before Zhu could speak, Zheng Liangbo suddenly spoke up and had someone take the account book from Su Lin's hand, immediately having the special case team members start investigating.

  First, the bank account numbers and specific remittance amounts were checked. The special case team was well-prepared, with their laptops having sufficient authority to access data from various banks. They took out the ledgers and went through each entry one by one for verification.

  The Long Tiger Gang's bribes to these officials, some were directly deposited into their accounts, some were given in cash, and more were deposited into anonymous accounts or accounts of people with kinship ties to these officials. But no matter what, as long as there is a specific amount on this account book, everything can be investigated, and all evidence is solid.

  "Old Zheng, the amounts and information on the account book... we've checked more than half of it, and they're all correct. It's already been confirmed that Municipal Party Secretary Liu Jianguo has accepted at least tens of millions in bribes from the Longhu Gang, and according to the records on the account book, the Jiaxing Hotel in this city is a joint venture between the Longhu Gang and Liu Jianguo's son Liu Yuanfeng. There are many more shady deals, most of which were handled by Liu Yuanfeng..."

  Very soon, in less than an hour, the information on the account book had been verified for more than half. Listening to the report of the task force members, Zheng Liangbo and Fang Liping already had a victorious smile at the corner of their mouths. While Municipal Party Secretary Liu Jianguo and most of the officials present had already fainted to one side.

  "This time, it's definitely going to be thorough... the power of the Liu family will be completely uprooted..."

  Su Lin had been patiently waiting by the side, knowing that the numbers on the account book were absolutely correct, so he was not afraid. Now that he heard the results of the special case group's investigation, he also became happy, and a hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

  "Liu Jianguo, I didn't expect you to be so reckless in Jian'an City. I, Zhu Yi, was wrong about you. Now that the evidence is conclusive, I am formally notifying you as the Director of the Fujian Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission Office and the leader of the special case group: you have been taken into custody!"

  In the face of conclusive evidence, and with Zheng Liangbo watching from the side, even though Zhu Yi and Liu Jianguo were close friends, at this time they had to put aside personal relationships and handle official business, issuing an order to take Liu Jianguo into custody.

  Municipal Party Secretary Liu Jianguo has been taken into custody! The Municipal Party Secretary has fallen from power!

  All of this, in the end, was because of a young man who was unknown to fame... Su Lin!
