Chapter 581 Waves
"Leader, I would like to apply to personally lead people to Menggou District to investigate a traffic accident case."

Jin Zhihai's attitude and words made Li Yancheng stunned for a moment. Investigating a traffic accident? Are you kidding!

"What kind of traffic accident case is it that you, the deputy chief of the brigade, have to personally lead people to investigate? You came in without any context and now you're telling me this. What on earth happened?"

Li Yancheng pointed to the single sofa beside him and motioned for his childhood friend and subordinate to sit down and talk.

Jin Zhihai waved his hand and didn't sit down, but walked forward and held the back of the sofa.

"An old classmate of mine, a classmate from the police academy, named Sun Mei, was hit by a hand tractor on her way home from get off work on the afternoon of the 6th. Her husband was probably with her at the time. She was sitting on the back seat and her son was sitting on the front beam of the bicycle. They were hit from behind by a hand tractor that was said to have a brake failure. She and her husband were sent to the hospital but could not be saved.

Because her son was sitting in the front and was blocked by the two of them, his life was not in danger for the time being, but the child was still unconscious. "

"Your classmates at the police academy? Didn't you receive any notification that a police officer in Mengou District was in trouble?"

Li Yancheng was a little confused. He even stood up and took a look at the desk, but didn't see any documents.

Whenever a police officer dies, no matter what the reason, it must be reported to the Municipal Bureau. Li Yancheng, as the deputy director and deputy director of the Municipal Bureau's organization department, did not know what happened on the afternoon of the 6th until the afternoon of the 9th. If this is true, then all the people in the bureau should be transferred to the police station for training.

"No, no, I didn't explain it clearly." Jin Zhihai waved his hands and explained.

"My old classmate has long been transferred out of our public security system and now works in the Mengou District Grain Bureau as a deputy section chief. The reason why I applied to personally investigate this traffic accident case is not because she is my former classmate, but because..."

Li Yancheng, who was originally leaning on the sofa, was listening to Jin Zhihai's story. When he heard halfway through, he sat up straight and his face became solemn.

"Zhi Hai, wait a moment." He interrupted Jin Zhi Hai and asked anxiously.

"What did you just say? What did your old classmate find missing from the transit grain warehouse?"

"She found soybeans on the ground, but she didn't know if there was anything else."

After making sure that he had heard correctly, a light flashed in Li Yancheng's eyes.

Soybeans!

Zhu Yongyang said that what Lao Kui sold was soybean oil, and it seemed to be squeezed in a small workshop, which was incomparable to the oil squeezed in the oil factory.

Let’s not talk about quality. If you want to press oil, you need raw materials.

What has always confused him is where the oil sold by Lao Kui comes from.

In the past few days, he also arranged for all the county and district bureaus in the city to visit local grain stations, grain warehouses, oil factories, grain and oil stores and many other units. He visited all the places where edible oil might be obtained. It is not known whether any of them had lost anything. Anyway, these units themselves said that there has been no theft in their areas recently.

Nothing was lost, but there were indeed people selling cooking oil, and in considerable quantities. This was strange. Could it be that the guy named Lao Kui had some special ability to turn water into oil?
When he was still worrying about the raw materials for oil extraction, he didn't expect that Jin Zhihai would give him a ray of hope.

Of course he knew about the transit grain depot, but this depot did not store grain frequently or for a long time. It was just a transit depot, and after a little processing of the collected grain here, it would be transported to a reserve grain depot suitable for long-term storage.

Therefore, when we conducted the investigation these two days, we did not arrange for this grain warehouse at all.

I didn't expect that the rope would break at the thinnest part, and it just so happened that this granary was very likely to have an accident.

"You go on."

"After my old classmate Sun Mei discovered something unusual, she went home that night and told Qi Mingyuan, the deputy director of the local police station where the grain transfer depot was located. Qi Mingyuan was also my classmate when we were in the police academy.

He promised to go over and take a look the next day..."

Next, Jin Zhihai repeated to Li Yancheng exactly what Sun Mei had told him on the 6th.

"I just received a call from a nurse at the Mengou District People's Hospital. She told me that after Sun Mei was sent to their hospital that day, she held her hand tightly and whispered to her in her ear, asking her to call my office and gave her the number. She seemed to have something else to say, but Sun Mei's voice was too low and it was noisy at the time, so she couldn't hear clearly. Soon after that, Sun Mei fell into a coma and never woke up again.

The nurse told me on the phone that she got busy and forgot about the matter until today. However, she didn't remember the phone number Sun Mei mentioned or my name. She only remembered that I seemed to work at the Municipal Public Security Bureau and my last name was Jin.

I have to say that this nurse is good and responsible. She ran to the post office to check the phone number and then called the duty room of our municipal bureau.

When the duty officer heard that she wanted to find a police officer named Jin, fortunately I was the only one named Jin in our bureau, so he transferred the call to our duty room and finally to my office.

If the nurse at the hospital hadn’t told me, I don’t know when I would have known about Sun Mei’s situation.”

"Have you contacted the Mengou Branch just now? What did they say? How do you define what happened to your old classmate?"

"I asked, it was a car accident. They said that the tractor that hit Sun Mei was found to have brake failure after inspection. Bullshit!"

At this point, Jin Zhihai suddenly swore.

"I just don't believe it's such a coincidence."

"You mean to say that there is something wrong with the Mengou Branch?"

“No, on the contrary, I think there should be no problem with the Mengou Branch.

The tractor's brakes must have failed.

Those people who want to cause a car accident must do it very well. If they make it full of loopholes, it would be easier for them to just go and kill people. "

"I understand what you mean. You want to say that this car accident was man-made." Li Yancheng nodded slightly.

"But there must be something wrong with the tractor. Not only the tractor, but also the driver of the tractor."

"That's right"

"Where is the driver now?"

"I'm worried about problems at the Menggou Detention Center. I've just communicated with Director Cao of the Menggou Branch and asked him to ask the criminal police team to bring the driver out first."

"Are you worried that something like Yue Pingxin will happen again?"

"Yes, I am a little worried."

"Zhi Hai, your other classmate who is the deputy director is very likely dead. Aren't you worried that other people in the Menggou Branch, even the leaders, will be dragged down as well?"

“I don’t believe all our comrades are like that.

Maybe... no, it should be said that there will definitely be people who, faced with various temptations of interests, cannot resist and choose to take another path, but I absolutely do not believe that everyone is like that.

If that were the case, we wouldn’t be able to have the stable life we ​​have today.”

"Go ahead!"

After listening to Jin Zhihai's words, Li Yancheng thought for a moment and then spoke.

"By the way, you said that the people from the Inspection Department of the General Administration of Grain have also gone there, right?"

"Yeah," Jin Zhihai nodded and said.

"But they may not be in the grain depot now. They should have gone to the commune first. To find out whether grain was lost in the transit depot, we have to start from the root."

“No matter how they investigate, Zhihai, remember one thing: food is a strategic material. Those people who dare to steal food and kill people blatantly are either crazy or have powerful backers to rely on.

No matter which point it is, it shows that those people are not easy to deal with. When you arrive in Menggou and start investigating the traffic accident that caused the death of your old classmate Sun Mei, it means that the matter has come to light.

Given the crazy things they've done, you must pay attention to your safety once you get there, and no matter what you do, the people you bring with you must not act alone.

Zhihai, remember, no matter how many people you brought with you this time, you must bring back the same number of people for me, including you, of course."

"Don't worry, I promise that all of them will be returned without missing a single one."

"Well, the last point I want to make is, don't trust other people too much. The grain transfer warehouse was stolen, and it was definitely a collaboration between insiders and outsiders, but the things outside are definitely not something that a mere deputy director can handle."

"I see!"

"I'll remind you again. If you go over to investigate, you can start from the power supply station."

???

"Power supply station?" Jin Zhihai's brows were furrowed into a "川" shape.

He was a little confused. Whether it was food theft or a traffic accident, at least on the surface it had nothing to do with the power supply station. Why would his childhood friend say this?
"Please explain it clearly. I don't quite understand. What does this have to do with the power supply?"

"You know about the case I'm investigating, right?"

"Well, I know..."

Jin Zhihai nodded, and his eyes lit up halfway through his words.

“I see, you mean they steal soybeans just to extract oil and then sell the oil to make money.

Oil pressing will require electricity, and you can check from the power supply station to see if there is any abnormal electricity usage.

Do you think the murder of Yue Pingxin is related to the case in Menggou?"

"Yue Pingxin worked at the city's oil and fat factory before he went to jail. He was able to make a living by relying on others and saved so much money in just two years. Apart from illegal business, I can't think of anything else he could do to make so much money.

Not only that, he has to be useful, otherwise why would people give him so much money. "

"I see. Any other instructions?"

"No more. You should leave as soon as possible. Check your guns and everything. Bring a few more people with you. If there is any situation or if you need assistance, be sure to contact us in time."

"it is good"

Watching the office door slowly close after Jin Zhihai went out, Li Yancheng sighed slowly. He leaned over and picked up a cigarette on the coffee table and lit it. His mind couldn't help but think of Mengou and the transit grain warehouse.

He did not understand the national process of collecting and storing grain reserves, so he wondered if stealing soybeans and pressing oil had really been going on for two years, or even longer, and had never been discovered, or had been suppressed artificially, then the water behind this matter was not just a little bit deep, it might be a vast ocean.

He is feeling somewhat conflicted now, as he hopes that what his old classmate Jin Zhihai discovered is related to the murder of Yue Pingxin that he is investigating, so that the case can be solved.

But at the same time, he hoped that it didn't matter, these were two separate cases, and stealing food was only an occasional occurrence.

In this way, there wouldn't be a major case that is likely to be exposed.

No matter when he was in the Social Affairs Bureau before or when he was transferred to the Public Security Bureau now, although both units were for social stability and to protect the lives and property of the country and the people, what he actually always hoped for in his heart was peace in the world, with doors left unlocked at night and no one picking up things on the streets, and it didn't matter even if they were all laid off.

Moreover, he had only been in office as deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau for a month, and he had already started a fire in Rouhuai and then another one in Wuxuan. Looking at the current situation, another big mess would come out either in Menggou or within the grain system. He even doubted whether the leaders would have any opinions of him.

Li Yancheng sat on the sofa, feeling a headache and stroking his forehead. After thinking for a long time, he stood up and walked to the desk, reached out to pick up the phone and dialed.

"Secretary Tang, this is Li Yancheng. Is the leader available now? I have something to report to the leader over the phone."

"Director Li, the leader is answering a call from the director of the headquarters' inspection office."

"Okay, Secretary Tang, when the leader is free, please find time to report to him."

"Okay, Director Li."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yancheng began to think about what Secretary Tang said on the phone, that Director Gao was on the phone with the director of the headquarters' Supervisory Committee.

He knew what these two were talking about, Chen Daqiang.

Deputy Director Jiao of the Personnel Department of the No. 6 Headquarters came to talk to him, and he was accompanied by staff from the Headquarters Supervisory Committee Office.

Deputy Director Chen Daqiang also serves as the director of the Municipal Bureau’s Trade Union Office. While the people from the headquarters were talking to him, the staff of the Supervisory Committee Office also checked the trade union’s accounts.

This investigation actually revealed the problem.

The money in the union account is usually used to distribute labor protection supplies to employees on a monthly or quarterly basis, such as wire gloves, yellow rubber shoes, soap, towels, shower tickets, etc. Some factories, due to their special working environment, even distribute wine as labor protection supplies. In addition, the money is used to pay for some activities organized by the union, such as watching movies together, organizing a sports meeting, etc.

The staff of the Supervisory Commission Office who checked the accounts did not check in detail and only checked this year's accounts. As a result, they found that a total of up to 2,000 yuan was spent on meals, which were written as entertainment expenses.

When asked who he was entertaining, he hesitated and couldn't give a clear answer. After a long pause, he finally uttered a sentence, saying that he was entertaining the inspection team that came to inspect the work of the trade union, as well as members of sister units who came to exchange experiences in carrying out the trade union's work.

If the average meal costs 50 yuan, 2,000 yuan means 40 meals. Only nine months have passed this year, which means that four or five groups of people have to come to check and communicate every month. What a joke.

There may not be four or five groups of units coming to inspect or exchange ideas in a year.

Since all the problems have been found in this year's products, what about the previous ones? Just check them. What else is there to say?

At the same time, because the problems were found, Chen Daqiang's work was also suspended.

Li Yancheng believed that this was probably what the director of the headquarters' Supervisory Committee Office was talking about when he called Director Gao today.

Their unit uses the simplest method of recording income and expenditure, which makes it very easy to check. Chen Daqiang has not been doing this job for long, so it won't take long to finish the check.

In a blink of an eye, it was already half past five. Just when he thought that Director Gao would not call back today, the phone on the desk rang.

Li Yancheng, who was resting on the sofa, jumped up when he heard the phone ringing, ran to the desk and picked up the receiver.

"Hello, I'm Li Yancheng."

"Yancheng, Xiao Tang said you had something to talk about on the phone just now?"

"Yes, there is something, Chief. It's a former classmate of our Deputy Captain Jin in the police academy..."

During the phone call, Li Yancheng described in detail to Director Gao what happened in Menggou District.

"Chief, I'm mainly worried that this case may involve too many people."

"Huh? Are you still worried about the wide range of implications?" Comrade Lao Gao on the other end of the phone sounded as if he had heard a joke.

"Uh..." Li Yancheng's face was full of embarrassment when he was asked by the director, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

“Hahaha…” Lao Gao didn’t intend to let him say anything, so he laughed heartily and said, “I’ll contact Director Tan from the General Administration of Grain and let him know first.

Yan Cheng, tell Comrade Zhi Hai to be careful about safety when he leads people to investigate the case this time. According to what you just said, those people are very bold and reckless. Who knows if they will do something even crazier when they are desperate."

"I understand, leader. I have just told Vice President Jin about this. I also told him to bring more people with him."

"Well, keep in touch with them and inform me if there is any new situation."

"Yes"

After putting the telephone receiver on the landline, Li Yancheng sat down on the desk and thought carefully about the difficulties that Jin Zhihai and his team might encounter on this trip.

If that group of people were not in collusion with certain people in Menggou District, then the difficulties they would face would not be a big deal. What he was most worried about was that someone in the local area or even within the Menggou Branch would make trouble.

Even if Jin Zhihai is the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Municipal Bureau, when he gets there, he still needs the cooperation of the comrades from the Menggou Branch no matter what he does. If they pretend to obey you but actually disobey you, or simply tip you off, then they will have a lot to investigate in this case.

He now only hopes that the case in Menggou can be solved smoothly, no matter whether it is related to the case in his hands or not, and that no further complications should be created.

Unfortunately, the development of events is always beyond his control.

Just as it was almost six o'clock and he had already packed up and was ready to get off work on time to pick up his wife home, the phone on his desk rang shrilly.
