City Discipline Inspection Commission personnel are isolating and interrogating relevant officials one by one according to the investigation materials of Baiqing River, verifying relevant evidence. Some of the officials involved in the case quickly couldn't hold on and truthfully confessed to accepting bribes from Fei Bin and committing crimes by facilitating projects for United Construction Company.
While the investigation team is conducting a comprehensive investigation in Hualin County, Yang Chen notified Baiqing River to have people investigate the case of the disappearance of Zhang Kaishan, making sure not to miss any evidence of Fei Bin's crimes.
Yang Chen is also reporting the progress of the investigation to Tai Man at any time, "Most people have already started to confess. Guo Tianyi seems to still be holding onto a lucky mentality, insisting that he has not done anything illegal for personal gain."
"His wife and mother-in-law could be a breakthrough." After all, Guo Tianyi is a Deputy County Magistrate, considered to be someone who has seen big storms and waves. His psychological defenses are not so easily broken, but his wife and mother-in-law are ordinary people, and efforts can be made through them.
Yang Chen nodded and said, " Director Lu is currently questioning Guo Tianyi's wife Fei Man and his mother-in-law with the comrades from the City Public Security Bureau. They probably won't hold out much longer. I've learned from the comrades at the municipal bureau that they've made some unexpected gains while questioning the senior leadership of United Construction Company, uncovering some criminal activities related to the company's involvement in organized crime. Director Bai has also made progress, finding the body of Zhang Kaishan and it's highly likely that Fei Bin was responsible for the murder."
"This Fei Bin is truly outrageous! It's fortunate that this corrupt parasite of Hualin is finally going to be eradicated!" Tai Man felt very fortunate that he had persisted in investigating Fei Bin, otherwise, he might have continued to evade justice.
Yang Chen did not expect Fei Bin to have done so much evil. He remembered feeling that although Hualin's officialdom was stagnant and murky, Hualin himself was not so dark. It wasn't until now that he realized that those dark things were not non-existent, but rather hidden in the shadows, concealed in corners he couldn't see.
The investigation continued for half a month, and all the cases related to Fei Bin were basically cleared up.
Guo Tianyi's wife and mother-in-law, under repeated interrogation at the City Public Security Bureau, eventually couldn't hold out and confessed to taking bribes on behalf of Guo Tianyi. Upon learning of his wife's confession, Guo Tianyi also seemed like a deflated balloon, no longer exuding the charisma of the former Deputy County Magistrate.
Due to the involvement of Fei Bin, a large number of leading cadres related to Hualin were all sent to unified detention in the urban area, and other evidence of crimes by United Construction Company is also being verified one by one.
Front and back, it took a total of a month to basically clear up Fei Bin's case. Fei Bin was found guilty of murder, bribery, and profiting from engineering projects by using substandard materials, leading to a fatal collapse. In addition, United Construction Company was involved in multiple violent incidents during project bidding and land acquisition, exhibiting characteristics of a criminal organization. County has issued a notice to gather relevant clues.
The preliminary investigation of the case has concluded, bringing this matter to a close. Everyone in the Hualin County County Party Committee and County Government courtyard finally breathed a sigh of relief, as they had been working in constant fear of being implicated.
Wang Hongen breathed a sigh of relief, but his mind was still unsettled because there was one more thing to address, which was the need to unify the government's response to the building collapse accident.
He wasn't worried about others, but he was concerned about Tai Man. He called his secretary and said, "Xiao Wu, please inform County Chief Tai to come to my office for a visit."
"I'll go now." Secretary Wu went to the neighboring county government building and delivered the message to the secretary.
"You go back first, I'll finish up the work at hand and then come over." Tai Man asked Secretary Wu to go back first, gave a few instructions to Yang Chen, and prepared to go to the secretary's office.
Yang Chen saw Secretary Wang and asked, "Secretary Wang looking for you?"
Tai Man nodded.
"If I guess correctly, you should be here to discuss the government building collapse in Hualin County. The investigation of over twenty officials, big and small, is bound to alert the provincial authorities. The government building collapse will once again come into the view of the provincial authorities, who will realize that what was initially considered a minor incident has now become a major one. They will definitely re-verify and investigate whether there was any concealment. Secretary Wang is probably worried about the situation, which is why he asked you to come," analyzed Yang Chen.
Tai Man responded nonchalantly, "If I had known today would come, why would I have acted that way in the first place? Now that you're afraid, you shouldn't have deceived in the first place."
"You're right, Secretary Wang probably never expected it to escalate to this point, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to falsify the report. If the provincial authorities really send someone to question you, are you not going to tell the truth?" Tai Man asked, wide-eyed. "What do you mean, are you asking me to participate in the deception?"
"I know you are unwilling, but we have to do it now. The incidents involving Guo Tianyi, Fei Bin, and others have already caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the people of Hualin. If another incident of deception is exposed, we will truly have no credibility left." Yang Chen also hopes that Wang Hongen will be removed from his position due to the deception, but if the leader of Hualin County gets into trouble again at this time, who will believe them? The people of Hualin County will definitely think that everyone in the courtyard is of the same ilk.
"But..." Tai Man understood the reasoning behind this, but her involvement might also lead to trouble.
Yang Chen interrupted Tai Man and asked, "Leader, do you think the development of Hualin is important, or is your own reputation and career more important?"
"Of course, the development of Hualin," Tai Man replied without hesitation, feeling that her own reputation and career were also tied to the development of Hualin.
Yang Chen shrugged and said, "There's no need to dwell on it. Making a big deal out of this won't benefit Hualin in any way."
Tai Man kept thinking about what Yang Chen had said as he made his way to the secretary's office.
Wang Hongen saw Tai Man frowning and asked, "County Chief Tai, is there any problem that can't be solved? You can tell me about any difficulties you encounter at work."
"No," Tai Man replied after sitting down. "Is there something the secretary needs to discuss with me?"
Wang Hongen personally poured a glass of water for Tai Man, "During this period of time, there have been many incidents in county, and a large number of leaders including the Deputy County Magistrate have been removed from their positions, leaving many vacancies that need to be filled as soon as possible. I have already proposed to convene the County People's Congress early and transfer you to a regular position during the meeting, as well as fill the important vacancies such as the Deputy County Magistrate, so that everyone can work with peace of mind."
Tai Man looked surprised. It turned out that secretary had called her for this matter? It seems that Yang Chen had guessed wrong this time.
