The Infernal Affairs of Hong Kong

Chapter 807 Source of Funds (seeking Subscription and Monthly Pass)
The next day, ICAC.

Zhou Yu was sitting in Lu Zhilian's office drinking coffee silently. He was the only one in the office, and Lu Zhilian had already reported to the superior.

It's just that Zhou Yu looked at his watch, the corners of his mouth curled up, heh, it's been two hours, it's long enough.

In the end, the level is different. At that time, it was very easy to go to the police station to take away the deputy director. Now it is changed to the director, and it takes two hours to consider whether to file a case.

Come on, let's continue to drink coffee, Zhou Yu went out to fill up the water, and asked the clerk to refill another cup by the way.

"Hey, where are you going?" Lu Zhilian happened to walk over with Zhang Guobiao.

"Put the water on, wait." Zhou Yu glared at him angrily. If he had known it would take so long, he would not wait. He was groaning, he still had a lot of things to do in CIB.

Lu Zhilian could only smile helplessly at this look, and walked in with Zhang Guobiao, and looked at the coffee cup: "Pour him another cup, or Zhou sir will curse again."

"Yes, sir." With Lu Zhilian and Zhou Yu here, Zhang Guobiao, the Chief Investigator, can only be called a younger brother.

Zhang Guobiao picked up the cup and went out naturally. He had nothing to complain about. When he met Zhou Yu, he was just an investigation director, and his seniority was also far behind.

In private, he admires Zhou Yu very much, because he has met too many people at ICAC, and it is really rare to see a few people in and out.

After a while, Zhou Yu came back, and when he came in, he made a long voice.

"Don't tell me to wait two hours for nothing."

"If you are made to wait for nothing, do you even want the commissioner to investigate?" Lu Zhilian joked.

Zhou Yu sat down and leaned back, lowering his head and thinking weakly: "Don't say it, this is really a solution. I happened to be recording. If it doesn't work later, I will go to your specialist and say it was your idea."

Lu Zhilian's face became even darker: "Please, I want to live for two more years."

In a moment of confusion, I actually forgot that this humanoid tape recorder is full of bad things.

"Why don't you hurry up?" Zhou Yu scolded with a smile.

After the two joked, Zhang Guobiao came in with a cup.

Lu Zhilian said solemnly: "The superiors agreed to set up a special duty team. I will be the team leader and Guo Biao is the deputy team leader. They have decided to take a comprehensive look at Liu Yuanpei's financial situation."

"Okay." A smile appeared on Zhou Yu's face, and he did not wait for two hours in vain: "Hey, let me take a high look at what you are doing this time. I thought you would not dare to do it, Lu sir."

Zhou Yu gave a thumbs up, and then smiled at Zhang Guobiao: "Guo Biao, you must have put in a lot of effort, right?"

Zhou Yu was really satisfied. Originally, today's expectation was only to open a case for investigation into the lease agreement. Who knew that ICAC was really responsible, and decided to investigate to the end. Yes, really, ICAC is worthy of the name of the ICAC.

Zhang Guobiao walked up to Lu Zhilian, smiled and said to Zhou Yu:

"It's still Lu sir's credit. The original intention was that the evidence is too weak. The mansion can only show that Liu Yuanpei may have property that he has not declared, and it cannot prove that he has illegally received benefits, so he intends to be more rigorous. After all, he is the director. I hope there will be more The evidence moves on.
But when the boss asked Sir Lu for his opinion, Sir Lu said sternly,

'The purpose of the establishment of ICAC is to combat all corruption. I don't remember a rule that the director is not within the scope of our investigation. In today's situation, if it is a police officer, can we investigate it?If it is not checked, I will not accept these cases from today. '

"

"Just." Zhou Yu praised with a smile.

This is tantamount to a hard top, directly forcing the boss into a corner, which boss dares to say such a thing?

Among other things, ICAC has its own way of selecting people for the Executive Office. From Lu Zhilian to Zhang Guobiao, they are all well-known for being tough.

"Don't praise me, it's Guo Biao who is the leader in the front row." Lu Zhilian said with a smile.

"All right, all right, stop flattering each other and talk about the situation." Zhou Yu couldn't see the two of them getting bored with each other.

"That's it." Zhang Guobiao took the initiative to take over the conversation: "The matter of the lease contract must have been voted by the management of the MPFA, and a unified opinion was reached before it could be finalized. The responsibility to hold Liu Yuanpei on this matter is to pursue not reach."

Zhou Yu nodded slightly. This is the same no matter where the management department is in the world. The order must come from the management, not the individual, and the individual is not responsible.

"So how are you going to chase it?"

"Now our initial plan is to secretly bring over several people who were involved in the lease at that time to interrogate, first confirm that there is this matter, and clarify the process of this matter, and then..."

Zhang Guobiao paused, and said surprisingly: "Bring Liu Yuanpei back directly for questioning!"

Zhou Yu looked at Zhang Guobiao with a slight frown, and nodded after thinking for a while: "Catch him by surprise."

"That's right!"

When Zhang Guobiao talked about his thoughts, he became very emotional and raised a finger: "There are traces of what happened back then, but in Liu Yuanpei's heart, this matter has passed, and no one would pursue him at that time, not to mention that he is already expensive now." As the Secretary, it never occurred to me that we would ask him about this matter.

It is such a mentality, once he is brought by us, under our questioning, he is likely to lie about the events of that year, but the longer the memory, the more he cannot remember clearly, the more he wants to lie, the more There will be flaws exposed, this is our chance to find the loopholes, and thus defeat them in one fell swoop! "

"And there is another reason. With his influence, it is really hard to say whether someone will leak information to him when we fully start the investigation.
So we have to seize the current time difference, fix it quickly, find the flaws in him, and absolutely not give him time to perfect his lies! "

Clap, clap, Zhou Yu clapped his hands, stood up and said with a smile, "That's really good, it's up to you, I'll go first."

"Ah? So fast?" Zhang Guobiao's blood was still boiling, he was a little dazed, shouldn't he be exaggerating?
"With you guys, I'm relieved." Zhou Yu waved his hand: "Let's go, the sooner the better."

Lu Zhilian was used to Zhou Yu's swift and decisive actions, "Then go and lead someone, and we'll settle this matter today."

"Yes, sir."

An hour later, several managers of the MPFA sat in the ICAC honestly and told everything they knew.

If you don't take money, who will resist the pot?What's more, it's still here at ICAC, which is a bit infiltrating.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yuanpei was notified to cooperate with the investigation as a witness. The reason was that a colleague of Liu Yuanpei was corrupted by the MPFA and he was required to testify.

three days later.

Lu Zhilian and Zhou Yu met at the beach.

"During the process of inquiry, we asked him about the lease agreement, and there were no loopholes in the words. We didn't expect much about this, and the focus was on his mansion.

When we asked about his mansion, he said that he rented it by himself and paid normally.

We asked him again, "On the days when you were renting a mansion, your MPFA was negotiating a new lease agreement with Xindi, and it just so happened that your mansion was under the name of Xindi. Is it such a coincidence?" '

He said it was just a coincidence, there were only a few real estate developers with mansions on the top of the mountain, and he just liked that house, so it was a coincidence. "Lu Zhilian drank his saliva after speaking.

"What about the source of funds?" Zhou Yu asked.

"The sources of living expenses are divided into three parts, one part is income, one part is loans, and the other part is credit cards."

Lu Zhilian twisted the bottle cap: "According to him, because he has a high rank and a good reputation, someone is willing to lend him money. How he wants to live is his business. He is willing to borrow money to live as long as he can pay it back. break the law."

Zhou Yu frowned, borrowing money to avoid declaration of interests, as expected of the director, he thought very well, and had already prepared a statement that might be discovered later, no wonder he spent so much money, he didn't avoid people at all .

"Is the flow of the bank card appropriate?"

"I checked. The card under his name has a loan income of 700 million. I checked the company that transferred the money to him. It is a regular lending company in Xiangjiang with a foreign investment background. The other party confirmed that there is such a thing. The answer is yes

'Based on the fact that the director's annual salary is as high as 300 million, we believe in his repayment ability, so we provide 700 million unsecured loans. '

It was the same in previous years, so he had money to pay the rent.

As for the source of the company's funds, we have not been able to find out yet, and we are still running procedures at the Department of Justice. "

Lu Zhilian turned around and leaned against the railing: "Now the people above me are very cautious in doing things, and have issued strict orders. Any progress must be reported to the meeting for decision, and then ask the Department of Justice for legal advice. The investigation will only be carried out after confirmation."

The first knife did not cut a big red fleshy watermelon, and it was still a bit cowardly. If Liu Yuanpei couldn't be taken down, then he would be targeted by Liu Yuanpei. There is no evidence to say that everything is false. A Chief Secretary for Administration, Xiangjiang's second in command, he The counterattack is no joke.

"You asked for a long time, but you didn't get anything?" Zhou Yu asked.

"That's still there. At least I can be sure that there must be something wrong with him." Lu Zhilian laughed at himself. In fact, he only got so much, which means nothing.

He watched Zhang Guobiao's entire questioning of Liu Yuanpei, and there were obviously a few inconsistencies in the logic of Liu Yuanpei's words that were exposed, very slight loopholes, which could indicate a problem.

But it is useless. According to Xiangjiang law, Liu Yuanpei does not need to prove his innocence, and the burden of proof is ICAC.

"I was thinking that he might have other bank cards that were not in his own name, but it would be very difficult to find them. I tried to apply for a search warrant, but it was not approved."

Lu Zhilian has really worked hard, but there is really no other way, now it is just a routine questioning, in the name of someone else's case, if it really rises to a search warrant, there will be a big trouble, there is no room for both sides to relax, the boss will not agree.

In the same way, if you search Zhou Yu's home based on suspicion without any evidence, your boss will not agree.

Even back then, when Zhou Yu was brought to ICAC, Zhou Yu's house was never touched, because there was no conclusive evidence.

Zhou Yu lay on the railing, looked at the sea and said nothing for a while, complaining is useless, and finding a solution is the kingly way, if the director is so easy to solve, he would not dare to be greedy.

"Are you ICAC going to give up now?"

"That's not true. On the contrary, the above means that once the investigation is done, it is to be concealed."

Lu Zhilian turned around, and like Zhou Yu, he leaned on the railing and smiled at him: "ICAC is still clean and will not cover up anyone. The people above can see that Liu Yuanpei has a problem after watching the interrogation. They just need us to be cautious because they have no evidence. , so as not to be passive.

Now the special duty team remains unchanged, and the investigation is still going on, but it has become a first-class secret. No more than 10 people in our place know about it, and only you know about it outside. "

Zhou Yu pursed his lips, as long as ICAC continued to investigate, he would be really troubled if ICAC did not investigate. The police force does not care about corruption by outsiders, and he cannot file a case against a director in terms of procedures.

"However...you have to be mentally prepared, this process may be very long." Lu Zhilian looked at the sea and let out a long breath.

Liu Yuanpei cannot be found out, and Liu Yuanpei has to be investigated. This requires careful identification of who will not be like Liu Yuanpei after reporting the letter, before selecting someone for questioning. It can only be done a little bit.

Lu Zhilian didn't know the reason why Zhou Yu moved Liu Yuanpei, but because of Zhou Yu's character, he didn't want to wait too long, but this time there was really no way.

Secretary, it is difficult.

"Tell me a little bit, how are you going to investigate?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Two parts, check the past, and check the future." Lu Zhilian said: "The past is to dig out the past, check each one, and find out the secrets of his relationship with the Guo family."

"In the future, since yesterday, I have sent someone to watch him all day, record where he has been every day, how much money he has spent, and then record his expenses in full. As long as the final statistics If the amount exceeds his income plus savings, it proves that he still has hidden income that he has not reported, so that he cannot deny it."

Although the method is stupid, it is effective. Lu Zhilian said in a deep voice: "We are ready for a long-term battle. This line, even if we dig for three to five years, we must dig him out."

"Wow, so ruthless in three or five years?" Zhou Yu squinted at him and sneered, "I might as well wait until he gets another term, maybe sooner."
