Chapter 349 The Mastermind Takes Action
The effect of Qi Tongwei's interview soon became apparent.
The day after he was interviewed, the central supervision group received many clues of real-name reports against Wang Hongfa.
It’s a pity that these clues only involved Wang Hongfa himself, and did not involve the protection umbrella behind him, which made Qi Tongwei a little disappointed.
He has made preparations to rectify the political and legal system, and now all he needs is a pretext.
But he was not discouraged. As long as he was patient, the opportunity would come.
What Qi Tongwei didn't know was that the opportunity had already come.
The video of his interview was also seen by leaders at all levels in Qiongzhou, which immediately aroused their vigilance.
In order to land safely, these people wanted Qi Tongwei to leave Qiongzhou as soon as possible and cause trouble in other places.
For this reason, several leaders called Fan Jie, urging him to speed up the handling of the case and give an explanation to the central government and the people of Changhe.
There are people who are afraid of and hate Qi Tongwei, and naturally there are also officials and people who welcome him.
Just three days after the news was broadcast, the inspection team received a number of letters reporting officials from all over Qiongzhou. Some people even went directly to where the inspection team was staying to report problems.
"Hello, Secretary Qi. I'm here to report a problem to you." A refined man in his fifties said excitedly after seeing Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei looked at the excited man and motioned to the people around him to pour him a cup of tea. Then he said gently, "Don't be nervous. Sit down and talk slowly. Tell me about yourself first. What problem are you here to report?"
The man calmed down and said, "Secretary Qi, my name is Li Xiaohua, and I want to report Zhang Jiahui, the vice president of the Qiongzhou Provincial High People's Court."
"Don't get excited, speak slowly." Qi Tongwei comforted him.
"Thank you Secretary Qi. I will sue Zhang Jiahui for interfering with and meddling in judicial activities, using her position to seek benefits for others and accepting huge amounts of money and property."
Li Xiaohua then elaborated in detail how Zhang Jiahui used her power to help her husband and others take away her company.
"Secretary Qi, this is what happened.
In 2005, Qiongzhou Teyi Economic and Technological Development Co., Ltd. suffered heavy losses, owed employees more than 500 million yuan in wages, and had debts of 2.5 million yuan. Its tangible assets such as land and real estate were all set as debt mortgages.
Faced with this situation, Ding Jiandong, the former legal representative of Teyi Company, came to me and asked me to acquire his company.
I had some understanding of Tei Company. It had some excellent assets and could turn losses into profits if it was managed well. So I acquired 60% of Tei Company's shares and signed an equity transfer agreement.
After I took over the Teyi Company, I spent two years to revitalize the assets and achieved the goal of turning losses into profits. "
Li Xiaohua took a deep breath and continued, "As a result, Ding Jiandong regretted it at this time and filed an administrative lawsuit, demanding the cancellation of the previous equity change registration on the grounds that the official seal used in the equity change registration procedure was not a filing seal.
Zhang Jiahui, vice president of the Qiongzhou Provincial High Court, ignored the law and facts and ruled in favor of Ding Jiandong. The company that I spent huge amounts of money and energy to revitalize was taken away from me by them.
Naturally, I was unwilling to see the company taken away from me, so I filed a lawsuit, asking the court to confirm that the "Share Transfer Agreement" was legal and valid.
But under Zhang Jiahui's intervention, "the court set up many obstacles to prevent the trial from going ahead." I filed a lawsuit in court in 2008, and it has been more than five years now, and the first trial has not yet begun."
"Is there any evidence for what you said?" Qi Tongwei asked patiently.
"Yes, these are all evidence materials." Li Xiaohua opened the handbag he carried with him and took out various reporting materials and evidence materials.
He pointed to a piece of evidence and said, "The actual controller of this investment company is Zhang Jiahui's husband Liu Mingsheng, who holds 27% of the shares of Teyi Company through Mingyuan Investment Company.
The reason why Zhang Jiahui prevented the trial from being delayed was that her husband Liu Mingsheng accepted bribes from Ding Jiandong.
These are all companies directly or indirectly controlled by Liu Mingsheng. The couple has at least tens of billions of assets under their names, many of which were obtained through such illegal activities.”
Qi Tongwei took the materials and started reading them. The materials showed that Zhang Jiahui and Liu Mingsheng were indeed greedy and had amassed billions of dollars through various illegal means.
Judging from Qi Tongwei's many years of experience in handling cases, the problems reflected by Li Xiaohua are very likely to be real, but he doesn't know whether they are exaggerated.
However, out of a responsible attitude, he did not directly characterize the matter, but accepted the letter of complaint in his capacity as deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Qi Tongwei then arranged for his subordinates to register the reporting information and materials, and had a formal conversation with Li Xiaohua.
It was like a pillow was given to someone just when I was sleepy. Just when I was worrying about how to kick off the anti-corruption rectification in the political and legal system of Qiongzhou, someone gave me an opportunity.
After Li Xiaohua left, Qi Tongwei couldn't wait to arrange the work.
"Dudu, take some people to find out Liu Mingsheng's background. Zhou Bin, verify the information of these companies. Shi Xiaoqing, take some people to check out Teyi Company." Qi Tongwei ordered.
"Yes, Secretary Qi." The three said in unison.
Naturally, several people knew the purpose of Qi Tongwei's trip, and now that they had found a way out, they were all very excited.
If this case can be used to kick off the rectification of Qiongzhou's political and legal system and successfully accomplish the purpose of this trip, this group of people will all be promoted.
Then they exchanged their views on the case and began to take action.
Just as Dudu and others were released and had not yet found anything, problems arose in Changhe County: Wang Hongfa was poisoned and fainted in the prison.
"What happened? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on Wang Hongfa? How did he still get into trouble?" Qi Tongwei hurried to the hospital and asked angrily.
It turned out that Wang Hongfa suddenly collapsed in prison this morning. If a prison guard had not been smart enough to force him to drink human urine to induce vomiting, he would have gone to see the King of Hell and been suffering in the eighteen levels of hell.
"I'm sorry, Secretary Qi, it was a mistake on our part." Fan Jie said apologetically.
Looking at Fan Jie's apologetic expression and thinking about his situation, Qi Tongwei was not so angry anymore.
After this period of investigation, they had a clear understanding of Fan Jie's basic situation.
He is truly an upright policeman with strong case-handling ability. He has been praised by the Ministry of Public Security many times. He and his relatives do not have any assets of unknown origin, and he enjoys a good reputation among officials and the masses.
The reason why he was sent to investigate the case was very simple. The leaders knew his abilities and wanted him to finish the case as soon as possible and shorten their stay in Qiongzhou.
Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei waved his hand and said, "Forget it, this is not entirely your fault, someone is anxious."
In fact, at this time, Qi Tongwei has basically determined who did it. He guessed that the mastermind of this incident should be one of Wang Hongfa's behind-the-scenes protectors, not the top leaders of Qiongzhou.
If he guessed correctly, the top leaders in Qiongzhou wanted to push these people out in order to end the investigation as soon as possible and allow him to leave Qiongzhou.
But they underestimated human nature. No one was willing to give up the power in their hands, and no one wanted to go to jail. Not everyone was held hostage by others like Huang Hongzhang.
The protectors behind Wang Hongfa have basically realized after the situation in the past few days that people from all walks of life in Qiongzhou want to get rid of them and exchange their downfall for the satisfaction of the central supervision team.
They understood that if they continued to investigate in depth, the secret between them and Wang Hongfa would eventually be revealed, so they came up with the idea of killing to silence him.
In their view, as long as they can protect their own lives and vested interests, they don’t care what Qi Tongwei does, even if he turns the entire Qiongzhou upside down.
As long as they can stay out of it, even if the entire Qiongzhou officialdom collapses, maybe they can move up to the vacant positions!
Be it the governments at all levels in Qiongzhou or the protectors behind Wang Hongfa, they all underestimated Qi Tongwei. His control over the case was far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
However, he was happy to pretend to be ignorant, watching them fighting among themselves, and then finding the right opportunity to catch all these corrupt elements in one fell swoop.
