Chapter 451: Zhong Xiaoai interrogates Lu Tao
"Lu Tao, I really didn't expect that you have such a hobby." Zhong Xiaoai said sarcastically in the interrogation room.
"Xiao Ai, I..."
"Shut up, you were the one who called her Xiao Ai." Zhong Xiaoai interrupted Lu Tao loudly. Lin Huahua beside him couldn't help but shrugged, looking like she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
"Tell me, how did you get involved with Tiancheng Group?" Zhong Xiaoai was obviously emotional.
"No, I'm in charge of energy work. I came to Tiancheng Group for research. After the research, they arranged for us to have dinner at Yunding Club."
After Lu Tao and others were arrested yesterday, they were all wearing hoods, so they were not aware that the Tiancheng Group was being busted. He thought it was just a crackdown on pornography and it was Zhong Xiaoai's request.
In his opinion, Zhong Xiaoai did this because she couldn't let go of him. As long as he said a few nice words, maybe he could continue to be her gigolo for the sake of the child.
"What else did you do besides eating?" Zhong Xiaoai curled her lips in disdain.
Lu Tao hurriedly protested: "After dinner, because it was still early, I heard that there were some foreign girls in the club, so I found one to learn foreign languages from. It was not the kind of relationship you imagined."
"What kind of relationship am I imagining? Sincerity, and learning foreign languages? Who learns a foreign language while lying naked in bed? I feel sick when I see you now." Zhong Xiaoai's anger, which had just been suppressed, broke out again.
"I……"
"I don't want to hear your excuses. The public security comrades have already taken photos. The evidence is conclusive and you cannot deny it. Now I want to ask you, what is your relationship with Tiancheng Group?" Zhong Xiaoai interrupted Lu Tao forcefully and asked directly.
"Xiao Ai, I..."
"Comrade Lu Tao, please pay attention to your address and please answer my questions directly." Zhong Xiaoai began to adjust her mentality.
"I really have nothing to do with Tiancheng Group. I just came here to do research." Lu Tao also realized at this time that Zhong Xiaoai had no intention of forgiving him at all. She was here to deal with him.
"Lu Tao, other people don't know you, but I know you too well. Before you came to Lincheng, I only left you one month's salary. It's been less than half a year since you arrived in Lincheng. Even if you don't spend a penny, you will have less than 200,000 assets at most."
After a pause, Zhong Xiaoai said to Lin Huahua, "Notify Zhou Zheng to retrieve the assets under Lu Tao's name. Make sure to check them in detail for me, including securities and other assets."
"Yes, Prosecutor Zhong." Lin Huahua responded.
"Xiao Ai..."
Hearing Lu Tao calling her Xiao Ai again, Zhong Xiao Ai's eyes widened in anger, ready to yell at him. Seeing this, Lu Tao was startled and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, Secretary Zhong."
Zhong Xiaoai's complexion improved slightly.
"Prosecutor Zhong, you and I are husband and wife after all. A night of marriage means a hundred nights of love. What's more, I am the father of the child. It will not be good for Haoran if I go to jail." After hearing what Zhong Xiaoai said, Lu Tao was already scared.
After being transferred to Lincheng, he realized that his career was hopeless, so he turned his attention to money. Less than half a year after taking office, he had embezzled more than 2 million yuan through various means.
He knew the abilities of Zhou Zheng and others, and he knew that as long as they investigated carefully, they would be able to find evidence of his corruption.
"Don't worry, you have been removed from the list of Haoran's father. He is now called Zhong Haoran. Don't worry, with the status of our Zhong family, you can't influence Haoran." Zhong Xiaoai said lightly.
"You are so heartless that you don't care about the love between husband and wife?" Lu Tao stared at Zhong Xiaoai closely.
"Comrade Lu Tao, you know me. I have always been upright and incorruptible. I will never bend the law for personal gain." Zhong Xiaoai said sarcastically.
Seeing Lu Tao slacking off, Zhong Xiaoai's revengefulness suddenly became less intense, so she said to Lin Huahua, "You are in charge of the interrogation. I'll go out for a walk."
"Okay, Prosecutor Zhong." Lin Huahua responded.
After leaving, Zhong Xiaoai went straight to find Dudu and others. She also wanted to have a piece of the pie in such a big case.
"Prosecutor Zhong." When Zhong Xiaoai arrived, Dudu, An Xin and others were chatting. After seeing her, they all stood up and greeted her.
Zhong Xiaoai is now the deputy procurator general of the Handong Provincial People's Procuratorate, a bureau-level cadre, and is also in charge of anti-corruption work. No one wants to offend her, and everyone looks very enthusiastic.
"Director Cheng, I believe that there is definitely more than one protective umbrella behind such a big case. I apply to join your investigation team, focusing on government officials and bank financial personnel." Zhong Xiaoai took the initiative to apply to join the battle.
Of course he would not refuse. He knew Zhong Xiaoai very well. Although she was a little arrogant, she was still capable. At least she was much better than that loser Lu Tao.
The most important thing is that she has a good father.
While everyone was talking, Lei Yang hurried over and whispered a few words in Dudu's ear.
"Good! That's great!" It turned out that a security squadron leader of Tiancheng Group could not help but confess the problems. Zhang Tiancheng and Qi Tonghu personally ordered the execution of four people and caused the death or disability of 4 people for robbing coal mines.
"Go and verify the confessions of other thugs and give me a report on the investigation so far before 3 pm. I will go to the provincial party committee to report the situation." Dudu instructed.
"Yes, Director Cheng." After saying that, Lei Yang left in a hurry.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lei Yang presented the preliminary investigation results. The situation was basically clear, and more than half of the people were willing to come forward to testify. Now all that was missing was documentary evidence.
Dudu will report to Qi Tongwei in the afternoon. Although Qi Tongwei sent him to investigate, he still needs to seek Qi Tonghu's opinion on how to deal with the matter.
He returned to Jingzhou in the afternoon. He reported the situation to Ji Changming that night, and the two of them reported to Qi Tongwei early the next morning.
Qi Tongwei listened to their reports carefully and occasionally asked a question.
"So, the criminal facts of Tiancheng Group have been basically found out. Now all we need are the confessions and documentary evidence from Zhang Tiancheng, Qi Tonghu and a few others." Qi Tongwei asked.
"Yes, Secretary Qi." The two responded.
"A small businessman can actually manipulate the political ecology of an entire county so recklessly. He is simply ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and is courting his own death." Qi Tongwei said in a gloomy tone.
He was really angry. If this situation was known by his superiors, he, as the provincial party secretary, would be embarrassed.
Du Du on the side quickly agreed, "You are right! Zhang Tiancheng and Qi Tonghu are both very arrogant and domineering. They completely ignore the law and think that money can control everything.
Xiao Dahai, deputy general manager of Tiancheng Group, confessed that Su Hongwei, secretary of the Yi County Party Committee, was fostered by them.
Because of this, Su Hongwei obeyed their orders without hesitation and did not dare to neglect them in the slightest.
During the Yi County People's Congress last year, Su Hongwei did something that didn't go along with Zhang Tiancheng's opinion. This guy actually dared to slap Su Hongwei in the face in front of everyone in the county party secretary's office!"
Hearing this, Qi Tongwei was speechless. How could a small businessman dare to do this? He really didn't know how to live or die.
“They are treating today as if it is the end of the Ming Dynasty, and they can control local officials at will.
Comrade Changming and Comrade Ducheng, you two should understand the seriousness of this matter and must deal with it seriously.
This incident must be handled seriously according to the highest standards. Those who can be sentenced to death must not be given a suspended death sentence. It must have a strong deterrent effect so that others dare not easily follow suit. "Qi Tongwei solemnly instructed.
"Yes, Secretary Qi! Don't worry, we will resolutely implement your instructions!" Dudu and Ji Changming answered in unison.
At this time, Qi Tongwei thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Comrade Changming, now that the matter has been investigated clearly, the government officials involved can be arrested now.
Remember, you must act quickly and decisively, and don't delay, otherwise you will have more trouble. "
Ji Changming nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Secretary Qi.
In fact, Comrade Zhong Xiaoai from the Procuratorate has already led people there, and they can start the arrest operation at any time as long as they give the order. "
"Well, I won't interfere with the specific actions. I just want the results."
Qi Tongwei then turned his gaze to Dudu and solemnly warned him, "I know that because Qi Tonghu is my cousin, everyone still has some concerns, but there is no need to worry.
I can tell you clearly now that I don’t have such a cousin, and there are no relatives before the law of the country.”
