Chapter 395 Old Ji Fu Lu
After receiving Qi Tongwei's order, Dudu arrested Bai Zhiping that night. What was probably waiting for him was peanuts!
On the other side, after Bai Zhiming settled his family, he arrived at Qi Tongwei's office early in the morning. He had made all preparations.
Qi Tongwei knew Bai Zhiming's plan last night, so he deliberately canceled the morning meeting and waited for Bai Zhiming's arrival.
Although he had made all the preparations, Bai Zhiming still looked a little decadent and had aged a lot overnight.
As soon as he entered the room, without waiting for Qi Tongwei to ask questions, Bai Zhiming went straight to the point without hesitation and said, "Secretary Qi, I'm looking for you to surrender."
Although he had been prepared, Qi Tongwei was still a little surprised. He didn't understand why Bai Zhiming didn't try to resist but just accepted his fate.
Of course, these were just his psychological activities and were not expressed.
"Surrender? Director Bai, what have you done wrong?" Qi Tongwei asked in a puzzled manner.
Even though he knew it, he still had to pretend he didn't know.
Bai Zhiming lowered his head slightly and confessed in a low voice: "Secretary Qi, I have ignored the party discipline and national laws, and have been accumulating money, embezzling and accepting bribes for a long time.
In the contracting of engineering projects and many other matters, I used my position to seek benefits for others and illegally accepted huge amounts of money.
According to preliminary estimates, the total value of these properties is about 3.7 million RMB.”
Hearing this number, Qi Tongwei was shocked and subconsciously raised his voice: "How much? 3.7 million yuan?"
He knew that Bai Zhiming was corrupt, but he didn't expect that he was so corrupt, more than Gao Yuliang in his previous life.
In his previous life, after Sha Ruijin came to Handong, the only leading cadres at the department level and above he dealt with were Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei himself.
To be honest, neither he nor Gao Yuliang are particularly fond of money. What they both love is always power, and everything they do is to climb up and make progress.
Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei pondered in his heart: It seems that Sha Ruijin dealt with Gao Yuliang not because of his corruption, but more likely out of considerations of political struggle.
He didn't think Sha Ruijin did anything wrong. From Sha Ruijin's point of view, there was nothing wrong with doing so. Qi Tongwei would have done the same if he were in his place.
Starting over in this life, everything is different. Perhaps the next time it will be Sha Ruijin who will be investigated.
"Yes, 3.7 million yuan." Bai Zhiming answered affirmatively.
Although he was surprised by the huge amount of Bai Zhiming's corruption, Qi Tongwei was not scared.
It's not that he hasn't seen corrupt elements before, but he is far inferior to Bai Zhiming and the Zhang family. Those are the big corrupt officials who easily spend billions.
"Tell me, who else is in your group, or who else you know is corrupt?" This is why Qi Tongwei accepted Bai Zhiming's surrender in exchange for the safety of his family.
Since Bai Zhiming decided to surrender, he had naturally made all the preparations. He handed Qi Tongwei a document, which was filled with densely packed names.
"Secretary Qi, these are the people who bribed me and other people who accepted bribes besides me, including leaders and business owners."
After a pause, Bai Zhiming continued: "The corrupt officials I know are at the end of the document, including Xie Jingxuan, secretary of the Hexi District Committee of Jingzhou City, Li Zhenyu, deputy mayor of Lincheng City, and Cao Xiaohu, deputy director of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department..."
Qi Tongwei turned to the end and saw a string of names. He counted them and found there were 11 people in total.
"Do you have anything else to explain?" Qi Tongwei looked at the document expressionlessly.
Bai Zhiming shook his head first, then whispered: "Secretary Qi, I am responsible for all these things. It has nothing to do with my wife and children."
He said this while looking at Qi Tongwei with a pleading look.
Qi Tongwei nodded and said, "I understand. We won't do that, but you must also actively cooperate with the organization's investigation and get to the bottom of all the problems."
Although he did not agree explicitly, he made a promise.
After hearing what Qi Tongwei said, Bai Zhiming finally felt relieved.
Afterwards, Qi Tongwei picked up the phone and called Ji Changming.
"Hello, Secretary Qi, I am Ji Changming. What can I do for you?" Ji Changming immediately stood up and said respectfully on the other end of the phone.
"Director Bai Zhiming of the Provincial Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department is in my office now. He has come to me to surrender himself. You come and take him away for investigation." Qi Tongwei ordered directly.
"Okay, Secretary Qi." Although he had many doubts in his mind, Ji Changming agreed without hesitation.
Then, after a brief thought, he decisively named Lu Yike to take action and arranged for her to lead a group of people to go to the provincial party committee with him.
Knowing that Lu Yike is Qi Tongwei's wife and sister-in-law, Ji Changming had already been thinking about doing a favor for Qi Tongwei.
This opportunity just came!
Bai Zhiming's surrender was a reward, so Old Ji decided to hand it over to Lu Yike without much thought.
"Prosecutor Ji, I'm extremely busy right now! Why do you suddenly ask us to go to the provincial party committee with you? " Lu Yike asked suspiciously.
Ji Changming lowered his voice slightly and explained to Lu Yike: "Just this morning, the director of the Provincial Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department, Bai Zhiming, took the initiative to find Secretary Qi and surrender himself.
Secretary Qi specifically instructed our procuratorate to send someone to bring him back for investigation. I would like to hand this case over to you."
Hearing this, Lu Yike couldn't help but look surprised, and asked in astonishment: "Bai Zhiming? Turning himself in? When did he become so conscious?"
Facing Lu Yike's question, Ji Changming coughed lightly and continued to explain: "In fact, it's not that he woke up consciously.
I'm sure you've heard that something happened at the Hefu Construction Company yesterday. The workers gathered to demand their wages, and it was said that some workers were injured, which made Secretary Qi very angry.
I guess Bai Zhiming was worried about being implicated, and was even more afraid that Secretary Qi would investigate the matter. He felt that he could not escape the blame anyway, so he chose to surrender himself. "
"I see. Okay then, I'll take Lin Huahua and Zhou Zheng with me." Lu Yike was not stupid. He knew that this was giving himself credit.
They soon arrived at Qi Tongwei's office and saw Bai Zhiming sitting on the sofa drinking tea.
Liu Zhaojun asked Zhou Zheng and Lin Huahua to take Bai Zhiming to the next room, leaving the space for Qi Tongwei, Ji Changming and others.
"Comrade Ji Changming, this is the self-surrender written by Bai Zhiming. It contains the names of the people who bribed him and the names of the corrupt leaders. Your Procuratorate's Anti-Corruption Bureau must verify the above matters."
Ji Changming respectfully took the surrender materials from Qi Tongwei and replied, "Yes, Secretary Qi, we will verify this matter as soon as we return and report the results to you as quickly as possible."
"Secretary Qi, how should we deal with Bai Zhiming?" Ji Changming didn't know the crime Bai Zhiming committed.
Qi Tongwei glanced at Ji Changming and said, "Bai Zhiming embezzled 3.7 million yuan. He will never get out in this lifetime."
"What? 3.7 million yuan. My goodness, this old guy is so greedy!" Lu Yike exclaimed.
"I think a large part of the 3.7 million yuan should have been collected by his family, but he took it all on his own." Qi Tongwei expressed his guess.
"What about Bai Zhiping's family?" Ji Changming asked again.
Qi Tongwei replied: "Everything must have evidence. Speculation cannot be the basis for handling a case. You should communicate more with Bai Zhiming and investigate everything thoroughly."
Qi Tongwei did not directly answer Ji Changming's question, but he conveyed his point of view. He believed that Ji Changming already knew what to do.
Lu Yike didn't understand what Qi Tongwei meant and was still thinking about how to use this case to go further.
