Chapter 193: Using Police from Other Places
Qi Tongwei's report shocked the two men. They had never expected that Chen Tai would use such means to corrupt and win over cadres.
Li Baoguo was well aware that this kind of corruption was difficult to investigate.
Once it is imitated on a large scale across the country, the consequences will be disastrous. It must be curbed as soon as possible and corresponding preventive measures must be formulated.
Thinking of this, he said solemnly: "This phenomenon may not only exist in Jinghai, I even suspect that it has already occurred in other places.
I don't care what method you use, but you must get evidence of the new type of bribery within one month.
You should be aware that once this kind of practice spreads, corruption will become more difficult to control.
We must report this to the Cabinet and launch a nationwide crackdown.
So I need your evidence to support me. Do you have the confidence to complete the task? "
Qi Tongwei thought for a while and said solemnly: "Secretary Li, Chen Tai is very cunning, I don't know if it will work..."
Li Baoguo waved his hand to interrupt Qi Tongwei: "Don't worry about it for now, just tell me your plan and let Comrade Yuliang and I evaluate it."
Qi Tongwei took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts and said, "Secretary Li, my plan is to first eliminate Chen Tai's right-hand man, that is, his protector in the officialdom and his gangster thugs."
Seeing that the two did not speak, he continued to explain: "After destroying his right hand, it will be much easier to deal with Chen Tai.
Let’s talk about the problem of gangsters first. Chen Tai is deeply rooted in Jinghai. I’m worried that he will get the news before we make a decision or take action.
Therefore, I suggest that police from other places be used, all armed police or special police be used, and based on the intelligence transmitted by Gao Qiqiang, all places and people involved in organized crime and evil should be searched and arrested, without giving Chen Tai any time to react. "
"Use police from other places? Okay, I agree with this idea. Then tell me about the issue of protective umbrellas." Li Baoguo nodded in agreement with Qi Tongwei's suggestion.
Qi Tongwei looked at Li Baoguo, gritted his teeth and said, "Arrange for the municipal party secretary Li Xiaoyu to go out for study, and let Comrade Gao Yuliang take charge of the work. Take the opportunity to remove Chen Tai's behind-the-scenes protector and investigate him, using this investment sabotage as an excuse."
Worried that Li Baoguo would not understand, Qi Tongwei explained: "There are two purposes for doing this, one is to stabilize investors, and the other is to prepare for the investigation of Chen Tai.
If they were dismissed for this reason, most people like Chen Tai would think that it was Comrade Gao Yuliang's revenge against them.
This gave Chen Tai the illusion that Comrade Gao Yuliang and his protector were birds of a feather and could be lured and corrupted.
As long as he dares to act, we will strike with lightning speed and take him into custody directly.
After Chen Tai went in, the Jinghai Construction Group could only be handed over to Gao Qiqiang and Chen Shuting, his adopted son and daughter.
Both of them are my informants. With their cooperation, the details of the Jinghai Construction Group's activities will be quickly uncovered. By then, Chen Tai will have to confess even if he doesn't want to."
"What if Chen Tai doesn't fall for it?" Li Baoguo asked.
Qi Tongwei explained: "This is not up to him, Chen Tai must go in, firstly to prevent him from escaping, and secondly to facilitate the investigation.
If he doesn't fall for it, among the people arrested in this crackdown on organized crime, someone must know evidence of Chen Tai's crime, and Chen Tai will have to go to jail as long as someone speaks up.
If this doesn't work, then send the tax department to check the accounts of Jinghai Construction Group. It won't be difficult to find a reason to detain Chen Tai."
Li Baoguo closed his eyes and thought about Qi Tongwei's solution.
After a long while, he opened his eyes, looked directly at Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang and said, "Tomorrow the provincial party committee will notify the party secretaries of each city to participate in the study, and the mayors of each city will preside over the work."
After a pause, he continued: "I will give you the power, but you must also give me a good result.
One month, I only give you one month, you must take down Chen Tai."
"Yes, Secretary Li." Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang quickly stood up and answered.
Afterwards, the three of them discussed specific action plans and made plans for all possible problems just in case.
After the report, Gao Yuliang returned on the same day, and Qi Tongwei stayed in Jingzhou. He was going to Jinghai with the armed police and special police to arrest the gangsters.
At this time, Gao Qiqiang was at Jingzhou People's Hospital, accompanying Gao Xiaochen to see a doctor.
In order to prevent Chen Tai from noticing, Gao Qiqiang actually took Gao Xiaochen to Jingzhou People's Hospital and arranged a ward for her.
With Gao Qilan's cooperation, Gao Xiaochen was diagnosed with Budd-Chiari syndrome, a disease that is not fatal but quite serious, in order to dispel Chen Tai's suspicion.
Outside the hospital, Qi Tongwei met with Gao Qiqiang.
"These are the places. Think about whether there are other places that have been missed." Qi Tongwei asked after putting down the note.
Gao Qiqiang shook his head and said, "Secretary Qi, I only know these places.
I don’t know about the others. If there are any, they were done privately by some people. I don’t know about them.”
"Okay, we will take action tonight. In order to dispel Chen Tai's suspicion, someone will conduct routine inquiries on you later. Don't worry, just deal with it normally." Qi Tongwei reminded him.
"Okay, Secretary Qi." Gao Qiqiang nodded.
"Okay, just stay in the hospital and wait for my call. I guess Chen Tai will also call you. Be prepared to take over the Construction Group." Qi Tongwei patted Gao Qiqiang on the shoulder and left.
"Yes, I know."
After separating from Gao Qiqiang, Qi Tongwei met up with the armed police officers, changed into their uniforms, and took a tourist bus to Jinghai.
No one would have thought that the people on the bus were not tourists, but 1000 fully armed police officers.
After arriving in Jinghai, according to Gao Qiqiang's intelligence, they divided into small teams and rushed to various places, and at the same time launched operations against casinos, loan sharks, prostitution dens and other places involved in the case.
Never give Chen Tai any time to react.
After arriving at the designated location, the leaders of each capture team looked at their watches and waited for the agreed time.
"Begin the action!" With the orders given, the well-prepared armed police officers and soldiers acted quickly.
One by one, they used tactical moves that penetrated deep into their bones to lock down and capture the members of the criminal gang alive.
In an underground casino, armed police were arresting people. The casino manager Cai Yong ran to the roof and called Chen Tai.
"Uncle Tai, it's all over. The police raided and arrested everyone."
"What's going on? Why didn't I receive any message?" Chen Tai lost all desire to sleep and was frightened to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat.
At this moment, the voice of the armed police officer came from the phone, "Stop, put down the phone, and give up resistance."
Without thinking about anything else, Chen Tai hurriedly said, "Don't say anything after you go in. I will find a way to save you."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Tai called other subordinates, but either no one answered or the phones were turned off.
After realizing the problem, he quickly took out the phone card, broke it into pieces and threw it into the trash can.
Chen Tai used another mobile phone to make a call. The phone rang for a while before the other end answered. "It's Chen Tai. Why are you calling me so late at night?"
"Leader, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. Do you have any action tonight?" Chen Tai asked.
"Action? No, I haven't heard of any action!" The voice on the other end of the phone was that of a middle-aged man, who seemed very surprised.
"All my people have been arrested. No one answered my phone calls just now." Chen Tai suppressed the anger in his heart.
"I'll call and ask." Less than three minutes after the other party hung up, he called again.
The other party told Chen Tai that the Jinghai City Public Security Bureau did not have any action tonight and that police officers might be deployed from other places, so Chen Tai was asked to be careful.
Although Chen Tai was angry at this moment, he had calmed down and began to think about how to deal with the current dilemma.
