Chapter 302 Walking Granary
After the inspection mobilization meeting, Qi Tongwei and others officially started their work.
"Team leader, the reporting phone number, mailbox and email address have all been made public." Li Chengyang reported.
Qi Tongwei nodded, and then said to everyone: "Comrades Zhiming and Kewen will take people to visit each city."
"Yes, Team Leader Qi." The two of them quickly agreed.
Why did Qi Tongwei send someone down? There was actually a reason.
Although the Internet is well developed now, in fact, many ordinary people do not pay attention to the news at all, and do not even know that the central inspection team has arrived in Zhongjiang Province.
Therefore, only by sending people to visit the scene can more people be informed of the situation and better clues and evidence can be collected.
After the two groups of people went to the local areas for inspection, the remaining people stayed in the office waiting for letters of complaint, and were responsible for verifying and organizing the information. Finally, all the information was summarized and reported for unified investigation and handling.
This clear division of labor can improve efficiency and ensure that every link is properly handled.
On the fifth day after arriving in Zhongjiang, the inspection team received a letter of complaint regarding the grain purchase and sales sector, directly targeting the grain sector in Zhongjiang Province.
"This should have been reported by an insider, otherwise he wouldn't have stated it so clearly." Deputy team leader Chen Zhiming judged.
Qi Tongwei put down the report letter and agreed: "I agree with Comrade Ming's point of view. This is a report letter from an insider. Outsiders have no idea about the details. But the question now is how to verify it clearly."
Qi Tongwei fell into deep thought.
According to the report, the grain reserves in many places in Zhongjiang have never met the standards.
Not only does the quality not meet the standards, but the quantity is also far from enough.
What is even more shocking is that in order to cope with inspections from higher authorities, each city in Zhongjiang Province is equipped with dozens or even hundreds of grain trucks, which are parked at specific locations for a long time.
Once the inspection team arrives in a certain county in the area, some of these grain trucks will rush to their destination and fill the granaries.
However, as soon as the inspection team leaves, the grain in the granary will be quickly loaded onto trucks and shipped away to prepare for the inspection by the next district or county.
In this way, relying on the walking granary, they have never been discovered, or have been discovered, but the inspectors have been dragged into the water.
"Team Leader Qi, this matter cannot be underestimated. This is China National Grain and Oils Corporation. If something really goes wrong, it will probably be a huge blow." Chen Zhiming was also frightened by the methods of these people.
Emotionally he hoped that the report letter was false, but his mind told him that it was most likely true.
"We must investigate this matter thoroughly. If we report it now, it might alert the enemy." Qi Tongwei was silent for a moment, and then continued, "I think we should investigate it first and report it after we are sure that the report is true."
"Yes, Team Leader Qi." Chen Zhiming replied.
Then he said, "Team Leader Qi, the most important thing for us right now is to determine where the grain truck is. This requires us to check the grain warehouse. I wonder if this will alert the enemy."
"Don't worry. These people are used to being rampant. If the story is true, they have probably been playing this trick for many years. The granary will definitely be full when you go to check." Qi Tongwei shook his head.
"Team Leader Qi, if that's the case, let me go down and take a look in the name of inspection. Maybe I can find some new problems and even take photos of valuable clues and evidence!"
Chen Zhiming comes from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and has extensive experience in handling cases. He volunteered to take on this task.
Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"It's better to go down and take a look. It doesn't matter whether we get any clues or not. We will know if it's true after we verify the situation." Qi Tongwei had a flash of inspiration and found a solution.
"Xiao Ji, you and Liu Chu go to Chu County and guard the granary and be sure to take pictures. After Comrade Zhiming and others confirm that Xiao Ji and others have arrived in Chu County, you inspect the Chu County granary in the name of inspection." Qi Tongwei chose a county that was not too far from Zhongzhou.
Chen Zhiming immediately understood Qi Tongwei's intention. As long as Xiao Ji and his team took photos and videos of grain entering the warehouse, they could use them as evidence to initiate an investigation into corruption in the grain sector in Zhongjiang Province.
Then several people immediately separated and acted separately.
Xiao Ji and others went out from the back door and took a taxi from Zhongzhou to Chu County, while Chen Zhiming took people to the Zhongjiang Province Grain Reserve.
"Hello, Team Leader Chen. I am Wang Yanxiong, Director of the Grain Reserve Department of Zhongjiang Province. Welcome you and all leaders to visit our department to guide our work." Wang Yanxiong is a middle-aged man in his fifties.
“You’re welcome. Since ancient times, food has always been a national priority. After all, food is the first necessity of the people!
Food security has always been an eternal topic that has been constantly addressed from top to bottom. Leaders have also said that ensuring national food security is an eternal issue and this string must not be loosened at any time.
You, the cadres working on the food lifeline, have a glorious and sacred mission. No matter what happens, with you as the backup, our country's food security is not just empty talk. "Chen Zhiming did some homework on the way.
As he spoke, under the leadership of Wang Yanxiong, he began to visit the work of the Zhongjiang Provincial Grain Reserve. He did not ask to see the granary here, as they were not so bold as to do so in the provincial capital center.
After looking for a while, Chen Zhiming smiled and said, "Director Wang has done a very solid job! By the way, take me to the grain depots in each county to have a look."
Wang Yanxiong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but there was no change on the surface.
"Team leader Chen, where should we go to check so that I can notify the relevant comrades in advance to come for inspection." Wang Yanxiong said calmly.
Chen Zhiming asked in confusion: "Why do we need to notify you in advance?"
"The granary is different from other places. The keys are kept by several people. If someone is not there, we may have made a wasted trip." Wang Yanxiong explained.
Chen Zhiming would not be fooled so easily. He asked, "If the person is not here, can't we hand over the key to other staff members?"
Wang Yanxiong smiled bitterly and said, "Team Leader Chen, you don't know that we rarely use the grain depot. Although I often warn our subordinates not to let down their guard, the effect is not ideal.
Therefore, in many places, the keys will only be handed over if the person keeping the keys takes a long vacation. If they take a day or two off, they will find it troublesome and will not hand over the keys. "
"Isn't handing over the keys a simple matter? Why do you think it's troublesome?" Chen Zhiming had no experience working in the grain system, so he asked puzzledly.
Wang Yanxiong smiled and explained: "Team Leader Chen, this grain is different from other grains. Every time the keys are handed over, the grain in the granary must be counted to consolidate responsibilities.
The number of grains in this warehouse is large, and it is indeed troublesome to count them, so they generally won’t hand over the keys unless something happens suddenly, which is why I need to notify them in advance.”
Chen Zhiming nodded as if he understood, "You make sense. It is indeed troublesome to hand over the keys."
As they were talking, a text message came in on Chen Zhiming's phone. This was a secret code between him and Xiao Ji and the others. He knew that this was a signal that the other party had arrived.
"Director Wang, I think we should go to Chu County and take a look." Chen Zhiming said after pretending to think.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Wang Yanxiong quickly agreed, and then said to the person next to him: "Lao Liu, go arrange a vehicle."
The latter nodded, then said goodbye and left.
