Chapter 454 Beginning

Current criminal investigation work still focuses more on confessions than on evidence.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that evidence is not important. It is still very important. Many cases rely on evidence to make a breakthrough.

But this situation of relying heavily on confessions will certainly not continue forever. With the gradual improvement of the Criminal Procedure Law and various laws and regulations, the importance of evidence and the integrity of the chain of evidence will be increasingly valued.

Solving a case with zero confession is not something that can be said casually decades later.

But it is not easy to change the working style now.

In fact, under the leadership of Su Xiaotong, at least one department has attached great importance to the improvement of the chain of evidence in handling cases in recent years. However, for the overall situation, it is just a drop in the bucket. It is not so easy to change the old habits formed over the past few decades.

But this has nothing to do with Li Yancheng and Su Xiaotong. They are just talking big. When they grow up to the point where they can submit proposals to the Legal Affairs Committee of the Congress, and people will take them very seriously and hold special meetings to discuss them, then they can be considered as truly towering trees that can shelter others.

Once they become the top leaders of their respective units, they will be able to achieve this achievement.

By that time, when others introduce them, they will no longer say this is Mr. Luo’s son-in-law, and that is Mr. Su’s youngest son. They will only say this is so-and-so, and that is so-and-so. Without the prefix of elders, it means that they are successful.

This is also the wish of the old men, and also the wish of certain generations like Su Xiaotong.

After all, no truly capable person would want to bring in their elders to save face when being introduced to others when dealing with them outside.

There are also those people who like to do things outside under the names of their fathers. They always ask who their father is and who their grandfather is. There is another name for such people, "dandy".

After having lunch in the cafeteria of a department, Li Yancheng left and returned to his office at the headquarters. After he left, the case officers from the Investigation Section of a department "invited" Liu Yugui directly to the department.

When Liu Yuguai agreed to do things for the two brothers, he knew who was behind Zhu Yongyang, but he was not worried at all. In his words, as long as you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door.

Of course, this guilty conscience refers to the aspect of being a traitor, and does not include his behavior of secretly reselling those materials.

Because he knew that the things he did were not under the jurisdiction of the Social Affairs Bureau, he had no fear of the people in the Social Affairs Bureau.

Moreover, the two brothers also told him that it would be best if the Social Affairs Bureau dared to use any means against him, so that they would have more reason to drag Li Yancheng into the water.

Using public property for personal purposes, or being a law enforcement agency, if this matter were to be exposed, haha...

Therefore, even when he was taken away by the investigators from the Operations Division of the Municipal Social Affairs Bureau, he was not panicked at all. Before being taken away, he even winked at a particularly close subordinate.

He had made these arrangements early this morning, in case the Social Affairs Bureau really took him away, this subordinate would help contact the two brothers. Unexpectedly, this move was the right one.

Hey!

In the car being taken to a destination, Liu Yuguai was quite satisfied with his arrangements.

But when he was taken to the interrogation room, heard the first question asked by the investigator, and saw the first thing presented, he was completely dumbfounded. This... how come this was inconsistent with the script?
"Comrade Liu Yugui, could you please explain how these 1,000 foreign exchange certificates came from?"

Looking at the stack of foreign exchange certificates with a face value of 100 yuan each in the hands of the interrogator sitting behind the table, Liu Yuguai swallowed with some difficulty and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead. He no longer had the smug look he had when he was brought here and sat in the car just now.

"This... this is not mine."

"Snapped"

The interrogator threw the stack of foreign exchange certificates in his hand directly onto the table, leaned back on the chair, and looked at Liu Yuguai with a serious expression.

"I hope you can think carefully before answering my question. You only have one chance."

In fact, Liu Yuguai regretted it as soon as he finished saying that. Lying is an instinct, it is to seek benefits and avoid harm, but it also depends on who you are facing.

He swallowed again. "S-sorry, comrade, that's mine."

"Very good." The interrogator nodded and continued to ask: "Now please tell me, where did these foreign exchange certificates come from?"

"Yes... yes... it's a relative of mine who came back from abroad..."

"stop stop"

Before Liu Yuguai could finish his words, the interrogator interrupted him impatiently.

"Liu Yugui, I told you that you only have one chance. Do you know what we do here? Do you think we will bring you back if we don't investigate you thoroughly?"

Faced with the two unnecessary questions thrown at him by the interrogator, Liu Yuguai's face became more and more ugly.

He really couldn't understand why the people from the Social Affairs Bureau were eyeing his 1,000 foreign exchange coupons. Could it be that there was something wrong with that person?
But he didn't do anything.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuguai spoke again. This time he decided not to hide it, because he knew that if he continued to make up lies, he might get into trouble.

As for waiting for the two brothers to rescue him, it is possible that the two brothers would show up or ask someone to rescue him, but the key issue is that if the two brothers knew that he was not brought here because of their affairs, it is not certain whether they would still rescue him.

Therefore, he decided to tell the truth. In his opinion, even if he had secretly contacted the overseas Chinese and sold that person something worth one thousand foreign exchange coupons, this should not fall under the jurisdiction of the Social Affairs Bureau.

As long as he can leave the Social Affairs Bureau, he will be able to save himself.

"I said, I said, I got these 1,000 foreign exchange certificates by selling something to a foreign Chinese."

"How do you know that person?"

The person in charge of the interrogation did not ask him what he was selling, but directly asked how he knew that person. This is the key point.

"Then... that foreign Chinese is..."

Seeing that Liu Yuguai began to stutter again and his eyes started to roll around, the interrogator immediately realized that this guy was trying to make up a story again and tapped the table with his fingers.

“Liu Yugui, everything you say now, we will verify it one by one later, and give us the consequences of lying. I hope you can think it over carefully.

I also want to remind you to give up your illusions. Once you come to us, the only way out is to explain all the problems clearly. Don't expect that someone will bail you out after you talk nonsense."

This was said very bluntly. Because he had never been to the Social Affairs Bureau, he had never heard of anyone who came in and walked out safely. The interrogator's words almost destroyed the little hope that Liu had in his heart.

The main reason was that he had too few dealings with the people in this unit and didn't know much about this place. In addition, the dirty things he did in reselling made him feel guilty. Besides, he was greedy, lustful, and timid.

Being threatened by the interrogator three times, he dared not hide anything, and confessed everything about how he met the foreign Chinese and what he sold to the other party. …

Two things to say
Just as Liu Yuguai was taken away by the people from the Operations Department, the young man who received his signal immediately ran to the post office outside and dialed the phone number left in advance by Liu according to his arrangements in the morning.

"Hello, this is Deputy Director Liu Yugui who asked me to call. My name is Zhang Jianshe, and I'm a staff member of the Anti-scalping Office."

As soon as the phone was connected, the young man introduced himself, which was also what Liu Yugui instructed him to do.

"Why doesn't he call himself?"

The one who answered the phone was the second of the two brothers. After hearing the other party's introduction, the second brother's face turned a little ugly. He cursed Liu Yuguai in his heart and spoke in a harsh tone.

He wanted to ask Liu for help, but he didn't want everyone to know about it. This old guy really didn't know his place and even asked others to call him.

"Hello, Director Liu was...taken away from his office by someone from the Social Affairs Bureau."

The harsh tone of the other party made the young man on the phone a little panicked, but he still made his words clear.

The second guy on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then raised his voice in disbelief and asked, "What did you say?"

"Uh... Director Liu was taken away by the Social Affairs Bureau."

"When did it happen?" Seeing that he had heard correctly, the second guy on the other end of the phone suddenly became excited.

It's good to be taken away! This is the most important thing in their plan.
"Just now, less than twenty minutes ago."

"Does anyone know which department of the Social Affairs Bureau you are from?"

"They said they were from the first department and showed Director Liu their work ID, but I didn't see it."

"it is good"

Hearing that the people who went to arrest people were from the same group, the second brother's "OK" almost broke his voice.

This was the best estimate in his and his brother's plan. The people were taken away and they were still in the same place. In this way, they could take advantage of the situation.

Of course, they were definitely not the ones who actually carried out this matter. Even if he and his brother were tied together, they would not be worthy of a director's attention.

"Uh... Comrade Zhang Jianshe, right?"

"Yes, yes, my name is Zhang Jianshe."

"I see. I know what you're talking about. As for you, just stay at work and do your job. If anything happens, especially if it's about Director Liu, remember to notify me in time. This phone is always open 24 hours a day. My name is Cao Guoqing. If the person who answers the phone is not me, just tell the person who answers the phone to find me."

"No problem, no problem, Leader Cao."

Because he didn't know what the other person's position was, the young man could only call him "leader".

"Well, that's it."

After saying this, the second person on the other end of the phone, Cao Guoqing, reached out and pressed the fork spring on the landline phone. After releasing his hand, he started dialing again without any delay.

"Hello, big brother, it's me. Don't say anything. Listen to me. I just received a call from the arranger named Liu. It's the same as our first plan. The person has been taken away. It's the place we expected."

"Don't worry about it. I'll call Uncle Chong right now."

"Okay big brother."

After hanging up the phone, Lao Er stood up excitedly, waved his fists and punched the air a few times.

He and his brother had two plans. The first was that if the other party realized that this deal was a setup, they would definitely try to find out the person behind it, that is, the two brothers, through Liu Yuguai.

Therefore, in order to prevent the man surnamed Liu from selling them out easily, they promised the old man a very generous reward, and also promised him that after the success, they could reassign his two sons to better units and give them promotions. Even if the matter failed, this promise would still be valid.

Liu Yuguai is already over 50 this year, and there is almost no possibility for him to move up in career, so he can only wait to retire. For him, if this matter can give his two sons a good future, then this deal will be a good deal.

He knew that doing this was extremely risky, but the greater the risk, the greater the benefit; it was directly proportional. Moreover, even if he failed, he believed that nothing would happen to the two brothers.

In this kind of struggle, playing some conspiracy and tricks is nothing. As long as you don't kill someone, you won't offend the person to death. After all, the person's father is there.

In the eyes of the second brother of the Cao family, the other party has now taken the man surnamed Liu away, and it is obvious that they are coming for them. This is not scary, and the two brothers did not think that they could hide forever.

What they want is for the people from the Social Affairs Bureau to take the man named Liu away so that they can take advantage of the situation.

Because apart from the undercover case, the Social Affairs Bureau has no power to investigate other cases. The man surnamed Liu cannot be a undercover, so the Social Affairs Bureau's Action Team went out and took him away. If this is not misusing public resources for personal gain, what is it?

The higher-ups don't allow the Social Affairs Bureau to interfere in local affairs except for normal cases. Now they just take people away casually. Haha, this is taboo.

The brothers' plan was indeed good, but they overlooked the greed that emanated from Liu's bones.

They never imagined that this old guy would be so bold as to secretly contact foreigners who had no relationship with him and even sell things to them.

This is nothing. The main thing is that the Social Affairs Bureau has been keeping an eye on me.

The Cao brothers believed that their plan was progressing steadily and was moving in the best direction they had expected.

So, after receiving a call from his younger brother, the eldest son of the Cao family confirmed that the plan had already begun, so he called the uncle Zhong he had just mentioned.

"Hello, Uncle Zhong, I'm Qingyang. I'm really sorry to disturb your rest."

It's still lunch time, not even 2pm yet.

"Qingyang, what's the matter?"

"Uncle Zhong, a friend of mine was just taken away by the Operations Division 1 of the Beijing Social Affairs Bureau."

"Oh? Why?"
