Chapter 499 Tan Yifan is arrested
After obtaining authorization, Song Yuhang and others quickly took action and successfully took Tan Yifan away quietly on the same day.
When Tan Yifan was taken to a closed room, he saw a thick stack of photos on the table, each of which clearly recorded him and each of his lovers being intimate.
Tan Yifan picked up the photos with trembling hands, his body involuntarily went limp, and he fell heavily into the chair behind him.
At this moment, he knew in his heart that he was finished. Not only was his career coming to an end, but he would also face imprisonment.
"County Magistrate Tan, since we are taking you away, we have reasons to do so. I think with your legal income, you are unable to support the luxurious life of these ladies." Song Yuhang stared at Tan Yifan and said seriously.
“Don’t say that you attracted them with your charm. Since we were able to get these photos, we already know everything we need to know. Now we are just looking for you to verify it. At the same time, we are also giving you a chance.
If you can confess everything to us truthfully, we can regard it as you voluntarily turning yourself in, and we can give you a certain degree of leniency in sentencing.
But if you insist on being stubborn and resist, I'm sorry, but we will conduct an in-depth investigation into these four women.
I believe that they will never keep these secrets for you willingly, don’t you think, County Magistrate Tan! "Song Yuhang didn’t think it was difficult to interrogate Tan Yifan.
Tan Yifan raised his head and looked at Song Yuhang and others in front of him with panic. His lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
After a moment of silence, he finally nodded slowly like a deflated ball and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything."
Then, Tan Yifan began to recount his crimes.
In addition to the four people appearing in the photos, he also had two mistresses, including the educator director Qiang Yongyan mentioned by An Bo.
Except for Qiang Yongyan, who didn't need his money, he spent about 200,000 yuan on his other five mistresses every month.
Not only that, in order to satisfy his and his mistresses' ever-increasing desires and extravagant lifestyle, he used all means to make a fortune.
According to Tan Yifan's confession, he embezzled and accepted bribes totaling 8.5 million yuan by manipulating personnel promotions and other means;
At the same time, in the process of undertaking various engineering projects, he illegally accepted huge bribes of more than 20 million yuan. In addition, he colluded with other lawless elements to jointly undertake projects and made huge profits of nearly 80 million yuan.
"Take a break and tell us more about Cao Yu?" After Tan Yifan finished speaking, Song Yuhang personally poured him a cup of tea, lit a cigarette, and then said.
Tan Yifan took a long puff of his cigarette and said, "Cao Yu is a very greedy person. He and I have promoted eight people in total over the years, including a director of the government office, two directors of the Finance Bureau, a director of the Education Bureau, and four town mayors.
I haven’t promoted as many other team members as I have. He has the final say on almost all personnel matters, and all are clearly priced.”
"Wait, you just said that you embezzled 8.5 million by manipulating personnel. Just these eight people?" Song Yuhang interrupted him.
"I only took money from five of the eight people. The director of the government office has connections in the province, and they gave me a heads-up. I went to Cao Yu and told him that this person did not take any money.
The director of the Education Bureau, Qiang Yongyan, did not take any money, and one of the four town mayors is my mistress's husband, and he also did not take any money.
I received 200 million yuan from each of the two Finance Bureau directors, and the other three mayors gave me million yuan each, a total of million yuan," Tan Yifan explained.
Without waiting for Song Yuhang and others to ask questions, he continued: "All positions in Liuhe are clearly marked with prices."
"So you are actually selling official positions and titles!" Song Yuhang shouted loudly.
Tan Yifan explained in a low voice: “Leader, Liuhe was not like this at the beginning.
In the past, criminal gangs were rampant in Jinghai. At that time, Secretary Qi led a team to crack down on criminal gangs in Jinghai, and many corrupt officials were imprisoned. Later, under the leadership of Secretary Gao Yuliang, the economy of Jinghai developed rapidly and the official atmosphere was very positive.
However, since the current municipal party secretary Chen Wangang took office, the atmosphere in Beijing and Haikou has changed dramatically, and almost all positions have clear price tags.
This trend eventually reached the county, and that’s how Cao Yu did it.”
Song Yuhang sat up straight and asked solemnly: "Can you tell me in detail?"
"Yes, Mr. Song, take the county as an example. The salaries of members of the county party committee, excluding the secretary and the county head, range from 500 million to 1000 million.
All this money belonged to Chen Wangang, the municipal party secretary. In order to collect the money, he frequently adjusted the members of the county party committee.
Except for the team members, the rest are decided by the county. In our Liuhe County, Cao Yu basically has the final say.
The price of deputy county governors who are not on the leadership team is usually around 300 million yuan, but if they are deputy county governors in charge of political and legal affairs, the price will be slightly higher, about 350 million yuan.
The basic price for the directors of the big bureaus is around 200 million;
As for the party secretaries of various townships, generally speaking, 180 million is required to hold this position;
For a township mayor, it would cost about 150 million.
Of course, there are other leadership positions at various levels, some priced at 50 yuan, and some priced at 80 yuan. The specific price depends on the value of the authority of the position.
If you want to be promoted to an ordinary deputy section-level cadre, you will need about 30 yuan.
As soon as Tan Yifan said this, everyone present was stunned!
It was also the first time they had seen such unscrupulous selling of official positions!
Song Yuhang couldn't hold back his shock and anger, and asked quickly, "Aren't you worried at all that the higher-ups will investigate?"
Facing Song Yuhang's question, Tan Yifan explained: "The city is doing this, and the people below see that the city can do it, so they naturally think that there is nothing wrong with copying it."
After a pause, he continued to explain: "Many people do this these days."
Hearing this, some people couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder corruption is so serious nowadays, it turns out the root has been rotten here for a long time!
How could these people who paid huge sums of money to buy official positions be willing to pay out of their own pockets?
After they take office, they will definitely rack their brains to extort money to make up for the deficits from buying positions. In the end, the common people will suffer.”
"Do you have any evidence for this?" Song Yuhang asked.
"How can there be any evidence? Nowadays, most people give gifts in cash. Unless we find where someone hides the money, it will be difficult to investigate." Tan Yifan replied.
"Think carefully, what other questions does Cao Yu have?" Song Yuhang continued to ask.
Tan Yifan sorted out his thoughts and said, "It's mainly about the project. Before he took office, the finances of Liuhe County were very healthy, with about 6 billion in deposits.
But since he took office, he has been building a lot of useless things, not only wasting all the previous savings, but also owing foreign debts of 123 billion yuan. "
"How much?" Song Yuhang asked in disbelief.
"123 billion RMB. Almost all the county's financial funds went into Cao Yu's pocket. He made 4 million RMB from the county government's lighting project alone." Tan Yifan replied.
"Can you tell me more about this lighting project?" Song Yuhang continued to ask.
"The lighting project was to install night lights on the county's buildings and the hillside opposite the county town. The project cost a total of 7 million yuan, but in reality only 2 million yuan was spent. He took million yuan out of the million yuan profit, and the remaining million yuan was divided among the relevant personnel."
As Tan Yifan confessed, a huge web of corruption slowly unfolded around the few people.
Brothers and sisters, the book has been sealed again.
I originally thought I would finish writing a dozen chapters, but I didn't expect it to be blocked. However, after reading many comments from my brothers, I know there are still some holes that have not been filled. The author promises to fill these holes before finishing.
But the progress will be accelerated, and the maximum number will be 20 chapters.
In addition, I would like to say something to some brothers. It’s not that the author doesn’t want to write in depth, but Tomato really won’t let him.
In addition, I would like to ask all brothers and sisters to give us some free love to support us. Thank you!
I wish you all a happy new year and good health in advance!
