Chapter 355: Zhao Dehan is not moved by one point
"You can do whatever you want just because you have power. I'm not talking about you. Comrade, your ideological awareness really needs to be improved." Zhao Dehan pointed at Lu Tao.
Lu Tao smiled contemptuously. No matter what Zhao Dehan said, it could not change the fact that he was corrupt. It would eventually become a mark in his own credit book and serve as a stepping stone for his progress.
Zhao Dehan suppressed his inner fear and continued, "The Party has entrusted me with such an important position, so I must be loyal and worthy of the Party and the people.
I am a person of strong principles, and it is precisely because of this that those with ill intentions would slander me in order to undermine the cause of the Party."
After Zhao Dehan finished speaking, he began to slurp the noodles with mixed sauce. Judging from the way he ate, it seemed like he was eating some delicacies from land and sea.
At this moment, two men came to report: "Director Lu, we found two passbooks."
"How much?" Lu Tao raised his voice involuntarily.
"The total is one hundred and twenty-five thousand six hundred and three." The subordinate said as he looked at the balance in the passbook.
Lu Tao frowned and asked, "Euro or US dollar?"
Obviously he was very dissatisfied with the number, which was not what he expected at all.
"Renminbi." His subordinate's answer made him even more unhappy.
"Director Lu, I can't possibly have this little savings. Even a village secretary probably has more savings than me, right?" Zhao Dehan asked after taking a bite of noodles.
"Not really. I have more savings than this." Lu Tao stared at Zhao Dehan and said.
The people brought by Lu Tao did not find anything valuable, so he asked his men to leave first. He stood in front of Zhao Dehan, staring at him, and the atmosphere was solemn.
"Everyone, take care. I won't see you off." Looking at the people walking towards the door, Zhao Dehan put aside some of his worries.
"You really won't send it off?" Lu Tao said lightly, still looking superior.
"I haven't finished my noodles yet. It will be cold soon. Why do you insist on me sending you home?" Zhao Dehan raised his head and said.
"We haven't found out anything yet, and you're in a bad mood. How come you, a big director, don't even see off the guests?" Lu Tao said sarcastically.
Zhao Dehan thought Lu Tao was really going to leave, so he put down his coat and sent Lu Tao downstairs. Unexpectedly, Lu Tao held his hand tightly and refused to let go.
"I really can't bear to leave you, the director, why don't we go to the next point." As he said this, he was about to pull Zhao Dehan into the car.
Zhao Dehan was also nervous at this time, and immediately asked: "What do you mean?"
Before Zhao Dehan could continue speaking, Lu Tao took out another search warrant, which was located in Zhao Dehan's office.
Zhao Dehan had lost his train of thought a little at this point, and was somewhat incoherent when he spoke, "What you are doing will affect my reputation. How can I continue to work in the unit? How can I carry out my work in the future? If you do this, I will call the police."
Lu Tao smiled faintly and said, "We really have to call the police." Then he opened his ID.
Zhao Dehan took a look and saw that it said "Lu Tao, Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate."
Seeing this, he couldn't help but panic and asked, "Are you Lu Tao?"
"Yes, I am Lu Tao, director of the Investigation Department of the Anti-Corruption Bureau." Lu Tao said lightly.
His reputation has spread over the years. With the help of the Zhong family, he has uncovered dozens of corrupt officials. Zhao Dehan has naturally heard of his reputation, so he became even more nervous.
But he knew Lu Tao's background, so he had no choice but to take him to the unit.
Zhao Dehan’s predecessor was investigated in the office, so how could he make the same mistake? Naturally, Lu Tao and others found nothing.
Zhao Dehan looked at the messy office that had been searched through, and these people were not giving up, so he began to threaten a few of them.
"Director Lu, if you can't find any stolen money or property today, and if you believed the rumors and made a mistake, I tell you, I won't forgive any of you.
I will hire the best lawyer to sue you and make you compensate for my loss of reputation." Zhao Dehan said, slamming the table.
Lu Tao didn't take his threats seriously at all. Not to mention that he knew that Zhao Dehan had another villa. Even if he was really wronged, what could he do? The worst that could happen was to issue a clarification announcement.
Given his wife Zhong Xiaoai's background, he doesn't need to take Zhao Dehan's threat seriously.
At this time, Lu Tao took out another search warrant, and the location was a villa in the wealthy area. Seeing this familiar address, Zhao Dehan immediately broke out in sweat.
When they arrived at the rich villa area, Zhao Dehan's legs were so weak that he couldn't even get out of the car. He had to be helped down by several staff members. His appearance clearly told everyone that there was something wrong with him.
"Why did you bring me here? What does this place have to do with me?" Zhao Dehan made his final resistance.
At Lu Tao's signal, the staff played him a video. It was a video of him riding an electric bike to the villa. Now he could no longer explain clearly.
Zhao Dehan didn't know how he walked into the villa. At this time, he already knew that he was exposed, and no amount of excuses would work.
So he squatted on the floor of the villa, his mind filled with scenes of the prison for the rest of his life.
The staff has already started searching. This time is different from the previous two times. They found it quickly. Lu Tao opened the refrigerator and it was full of money.
"Who is this? Who is this... Who put so much money into our refrigerator?" Zhao Dehan was completely confused and confessed.
"Have you admitted that this is your refrigerator?" Lu Tao shouted loudly.
Zhao Dehan completely collapsed, and cried, "Director Lu, our family has been farmers for generations, and we are so poor that we dare not touch a penny. All the money is here."
Lu Tao was very happy looking at this scene. He had already been thinking about how to get promoted. Fortunately, he still remembered what was most important.
"What else? Is there anything else you want to explain?" Lu Tao still looked so superior.
Zhao Dehan's face was already covered with tears at this moment. He slumped on the sofa with empty eyes, as if he had lost his soul.
He trembled and said, "Director Lu, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong... I shouldn't be so greedy and shouldn't go against my conscience to engage in corruption..."
"What's the point of saying all this? Do you have anything else to say?" Lu Tao scolded Zhao Dehan.
"There's more in the bedroom upstairs." Under Zhao Dehan's guidance, Lu Tao and others found RMB piled up on several walls. That's not all, even under the quilt there were RMB.
Although Lu Tao and others handled many cases and this amount was not the largest, it was the first time they had seen so much cash, which came as a huge shock to them.
"You've only been the director for four years, and you're already greedy..."
Zhao Dehan took over his words and replied in a tearful voice: "Two hundred and thirty-nine million, nine hundred and ninety-five thousand four hundred yuan."
"You remember it clearly!" Lu Tao mocked him.
"I keep accounts, I record every single item, but I dare not spend any money, not even a penny." Zhao De had long lost the calmness he had just had, and was left with only panic and helplessness.
Hearing that Zhao Dehan had the habit of keeping accounts, Lu Tao and others looked at each other and showed excitement.
According to Zhao Dehan's confession, several people found his account notebook from the bathroom exhaust fan.
Lu Tao was flipping through Zhao Dehan's account book, and his heart was filled with excitement for a moment. He knew that he had made all the credit now, because he had caught another big fish.
