Chapter 239 True and False Maofeng
After receiving Qi Tongwei's instructions, the anti-corruption department of the Commission for Discipline Inspection took prompt action.
After discussion, the two decided to lead a team each to investigate and deal with the case.
Li Youcong's team was responsible for conducting in-depth investigations in the countryside, while Lin Jianguo conducted a comprehensive investigation of Maofeng.
Time is short and the task is arduous.
Both teams worked tirelessly and gave their all.
In just less than three days, the two groups made exciting progress.
First was Li Youcong's team. They visited a total of 11 villages and the information they collected was highly consistent: there was a serious discrepancy between the salaries of private teachers in rural areas and government financial allocations.
Most people's monthly salary is only a pitiful 640 yuan, far below the standard of 1600 yuan.
What is even more infuriating is that some rural private teachers actually received a salary of 640 yuan, but the account clearly showed a figure of 2000 yuan!
This means that there is a price difference of up to 1360 yuan, which goes into the pockets of certain leaders.
When Qi Tongwei learned about this, he felt an uncontrollable anger in his heart.
These greedy guys not only unscrupulously embezzled state funds, but also had the heart to withhold the meager wages of those hard-working private teachers!
This is simply outrageous!
After receiving the news, Qi Tongwei ordered Li Youcong without hesitation to take immediate action and bring in all the personnel involved in the account for investigation.
At the same time, Lin Jianguo's group also made a breakthrough, but they seemed to have met an opponent.
After a period of investigation, the staff discovered that Mao Feng had an improper relationship with a fashionable woman named Li Li, who was suspected to be his kept lover.
Afterwards, Lin Jianguo sent people into Li Li's villa on the pretext of circuit maintenance, and was shocked to find a photo of Mao Feng and the woman in the villa.
After learning of this situation, Lin Jianguo immediately went through the search procedures and searched the villa.
"Who are you and what are you doing here at my house?" Seeing Lin Jianguo and others enter the villa, Li Li was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.
"Li Li, we are staff members of the Luteng City People's Procuratorate. We are now searching your villa in accordance with the law. Please cooperate." Lin Jianguo presented relevant documents and search procedures.
"Why are you searching my house?" Li Li asked puzzledly.
"What's the name of the person in this photo? Have you two registered your marriage?" Lin Jianguo asked.
Although she was full of doubts, Li Li explained: "This is my boyfriend Zhang Qiang. We haven't had time to get married yet, but we have taken wedding photos. Once he has some free time at work, we will go to register for marriage."
"Zhang Qiang? Are you sure your boyfriend's name is Zhang Qiang?" asked He Qiang, director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
"Of course I'm sure. I can't be the one who doesn't even know my boyfriend's name. By the way, he left his ID card at home. I'll get it for you." Li Li said as she went to look for the ID card.
"What do you think?" Lin Jianguo asked He Qiang.
"We have met our match. I think Li Li did not lie, and Mao Feng may not have told the other party his true identity at all." He Qiang replied.
"Yes, we have met our match." Lin Jianguo also sighed.
Before he finished speaking, Li Li came out of the house and handed each of them an ID card.
He Qiang took it and looked at it. The person on the ID card looked 80% similar to Mao Feng and his name was Zhang Qiang. Then he handed the ID card to Lin Jianguo.
Lin Jianguo and He Qiang looked at each other, and they both knew in their hearts that they had really met their match this time.
"Leader, what happened to my boyfriend? Did something happen to him?" Li Li asked belatedly.
There was an anxious look on her face and she clutched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, as if she was trying to control her inner anxiety.
"What does your boyfriend do for a living?" Lin Jianguo did not directly answer Li Li's question, but asked back.
"My boyfriend is a businessman and often stays in Hong Kong Island. He comes back for a few days every month. He just left the day before yesterday. I hope nothing happened to him?" Li Li asked anxiously.
"Nothing happened, we are just doing routine work." Lin Jianguo explained, trying to reassure Li Li.
Then he asked, "After your boyfriend arrived in Hong Kong Island, how did you usually keep in touch?"
"We chatted on QQ. My boyfriend said it was troublesome to call him on the Hong Kong Island phone number, so he didn't give me his phone number in Hong Kong Island. We chatted on QQ when we had something to talk about," Li Li explained.
Lin Jianguo muttered to himself: "This guy is really cautious!"
He had expected that Maofeng would be a little tricky, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. This instead aroused his fighting spirit.
Then, Lin Jianguo smiled and said to Li Li: "I'm sorry, Ms. Li, we may have had some misunderstandings before.
In fact, we are investigating a man named Mao Feng, who looks very similar to your boyfriend. So, we came here today to verify the relevant situation. "
After that, Lin Jianguo took out Mao Feng's file from his file bag and handed it to Li Li, and asked, "Look, do you think this person is very similar to your boyfriend?"
Li Li carefully examined the photo in the file and couldn't help saying, "Wow, they really look alike. If you didn't tell me, I probably wouldn't be able to tell them apart."
Lin Jianguo said seriously, "Ms. Li, since this involves a major case, you must keep it strictly confidential and not disclose it to anyone, not even your boyfriend."
Li Li nodded repeatedly to show that she understood.
Lin Jianguo continued to warn her solemnly: "I am not kidding you, information spreads quickly on the Internet now, and the news will leak out if you are not careful.
If you leak any information, you will be held legally responsible.”
Li Li nodded a little fearfully and said, "Okay, boss, I understand."
From the conversation with Li Li, we learned that Mao Feng only goes home for a few days every month, which means that he will not come back this month.
They only kept in touch through QQ. If Li Li kept her mouth shut, they could continue to hide it from Mao Feng for a while.
As long as we speed up the investigation, we can take advantage of this time difference and get to the bottom of the case thoroughly.
After leaving Li Li's villa, Lin Jianguo immediately ordered: "Find out all the information about Zhang Qiang as soon as possible to confirm whether this person really exists."
He Qiang made a phone call and informed the other party of Zhang Qiang's relevant information.
In less than ten minutes, I received a reply.
"Prosecutor Lin, it has been confirmed that this person does exist and he is from Liuhe Village, Shiwan Town, Shimen District." He Qiang said after hanging up the phone.
Lin Jianguo narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Find out the social relations of this man named Zhang Qiang and find him in person. I don't believe there is such a similar person."
