pinnacle of power

Zeng Guohai is a very dedicated person.Although he was unhappy that his sleep was disturbed, he still reached for the phone. When he saw the phone number on the phone, his face immediately became serious.

It was Liu Qingyu calling.

Zeng Guohai knew that Liu Qingyu was a person who knew the priorities, and under normal circumstances, he would never call himself.

Zeng Guohai didn't hesitate, and immediately connected the phone. The hazy drowsiness gradually disappeared at this moment, and he said in a deep voice, "Liu Qingyu, what's the matter?"

Liu Qingyu went straight to the point and said, "Secretary Zeng, I'm very sorry to disturb your rest, but there is something I have to report to you immediately."

"Let's talk." Zeng Guohai was very happy.

"Secretary Zeng, after interrogating Zheng Haitao, director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, our Anti-Corruption Bureau confirmed that Hou Yuqiang, the mayor of Tiandu City, was suspected of building skyscrapers as a gimmick in the Bowang Tower skyscraper project. The funds of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission have been transferred abroad, and the amount involved is as high as tens of billions. The circumstances of the case are very serious and the impact will be very bad. I am arresting our Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Tiandu Provincial Procuratorate. Now I would like to ask you whether we can arrest Hou Yuqiang as soon as possible Bring to justice and try our best to recover this huge sum of money from abroad.”

When speaking, Liu Qingyu's tone was very serious.

After Zeng Guohai heard the news about Liu Qingyu, his heart beat faster at that time, and his fists were clenched tightly. He realized that this kid Liu Qingyu had been stirring up wind and rain in Tiandu Province for so long. It was a small fight before, but now I finally caught a big fish.It's just that the appetite of this big fish is much bigger than he imagined.

Tens of billions, this is not a small number, and Zeng Guohai is even more aware that if the amount involved in the case is so large, it will be impossible for the mayor, Hou Yuqiang, to complete it no matter how powerful he is.So now, although there is no evidence, Zeng Guohai can definitely conclude that behind Hou Yuqiang, there must be other people with higher status involved.What's more, if Hou Yuqiang had been alone in such a matter involving the corruption of tens of billions of funds, he would have died countless times.

According to this way of thinking, it is certain that there should be a corrupt group surrounding the case of Bowang Building in Tiandu City and even Tiandu Province, and Hou Yuqiang should be just a pawn pushed to the fore by the corrupt group. Of course, The status of this pawn in the corrupt group is certainly not low.After all, he ran the whole thing.His ability and status are definitely sufficient.

Thinking of this, Zeng Guohai already understood why Liu Qingyu would bother him directly at 4 o'clock in the morning.

This is indeed a very serious matter.And it is definitely a big event in Tiandu Province.

If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid the impact will be very bad.Many corrupt individuals will be allowed to go unpunished.This is absolutely intolerable to Zeng Guohai.

Zeng Guohai said with a serious face: "Okay, Liu Qingyu, as long as the evidence is solid, your Provincial Procuratorate's Anti-Corruption Bureau can take immediate action, and the Provincial Party Committee will give you firm support for your Anti-Corruption Bureau. Send it to me, and I will read it immediately. As for the action against Hou Yuqiang, you can start immediately."

Zeng Guohai is not a pedantic person, and he has a good grasp of the standards of doing things.

Upon receiving Zeng Guohai's instruction, Liu Qingyu did not hesitate at all, and immediately issued an order to arrest Hou Yuqiang to everyone in the No. [-] Investigation Division. At the same time, he immediately sent all the interrogation materials, including transcripts and video surveillance records, to Zeng Guohai.

Zeng Guohai read the transcript first, and then selectively watched the video surveillance records of the interrogation process. After watching it, Zeng Guohai immediately called Liu Qingyu: "Liu Qingyu, you can now completely close the network. Not only Hou Yuqiang wants to be arrested, but all relevant personnel related to Hou Yuqiang, as long as you have conclusive evidence, all of them will be arrested! You must ensure that the chain of evidence for Hou Yuqiang is solid enough. I can tell you clearly that Hou Yuqiang's identity is very wrong. Simple, the background is very hard, if your chain of evidence is not solid enough, then it is very likely that the other party will bite back, and at that time, it will be enough for you."

Liu Qingyu quickly said: "Secretary Zeng, please rest assured that as long as we find evidence, there is no possibility for him to run away. I am quite confident in the ability of our anti-corruption bureau staff."

Zeng Guohai smiled: "That's good. As long as you have confidence, I can rest assured."

After hanging up the phone, Zeng Guohai didn't feel sleepy anymore. He got up and went to the study, turned on the light, picked up the pen and started writing materials, and thought about the next step.

What Zeng Guohai has to consider now is not on the same order of magnitude as what Liu Qingyu has to consider.As the head of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Liu Qingyu now only needs to rely on how to collect enough evidence, how to get Hou Yuqiang to speak up after arresting him, and how to recover the tens of billions of state-owned assets that have been lost abroad.

However, Zeng Guohai had to consider more than these. He also needed to consider a series of personnel changes that might follow after Hou Yuqiang was investigated and arrested.After all, Hou Yuqiang's identity is not simple. After his fall, the selection of the mayor of Tiandu City will inevitably trigger a new round of political games in the province. Zeng Guohai must consider who will be the mayor.

Another point is, what role did Wang Honghao, the secretary of the Tiandu municipal party committee, play in the Bowang Building project?He knew whether Hou Yuqiang was involved in the Bowang Building project or not.If Wang Honghao is not involved in the case, how should he be treated?After all, the seriousness of Hou Yuqiang's corruption in the Bowang Building project is definitely not a general responsibility, and Wang Honghao, the top leader, cannot escape the blame.

This is still the best case, the worst case is, if Wang Honghao is involved in this project of Bowang Building, then the problem will be complicated.Because Wang Honghao is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, in order to investigate his problems, the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supreme Procuratorate must come forward. In this way, a certain process needs to be followed, so how to prevent information leakage during the process?

Then once Wang Honghao was taken down because of his involvement in the case, he would inevitably need to re-assign a new Tiandu City Party Committee Secretary and Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee member. Who would take up this position was also very important to the Tiandu Provincial Party Committee.This directly determines the balance of forces in Tiandu Province.

And these problems are very difficult to pick out any one at random, so at this time, Zeng Guohai couldn't sleep peacefully.

Liu Qingyu's side has never rested since Zheng Haitao was arrested last night.

Although it was past four o'clock in the morning, Liu Qingyu was still in high spirits, and he directly participated in the action of going to Hou Yuqiang's home to arrest him and bring him to justice.

It was already around 4:[-] in the morning when Liu Qingyu and his group arrived at Building No. [-] of the Tiandu Municipal Party Committee Compound where Hou Yuqiang was located. At this moment, the sky and the earth were pitch black, and the air was slightly chilly. Going forward, a ray of dawn has begun to pierce through the darkness and spread upward.

Liu Qingyu looked at the eastern sky through the car window, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Now, it is the darkness before dawn. As long as the strong morning sun breaks through the black mist, a round of red sun will slowly rise. A bright new day will come.Isn't this just like the officialdom in Tiandu?As long as our anti-corruption department firmly implements the country's laws and regulations and various policies, and brings the corrupt elements in Tiandu to justice, then the darkness brought to the people by these corrupt elements will be like this night Generally, it is swept away by the rising sun, and the people are given a clear and vibrant sky.

When the car arrived at the gate of the Tiandu Municipal Party Committee compound, it was stopped by the guard.

Li Tanping got out of the car and showed his work certificate from the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and asked to enter the municipal party committee compound, but was directly refused by the guard.

"I'm sorry, according to our regulations, no one can enter without the certificate of the family members of our municipal party committee. Please understand the difficulties of our work." The guard said forcefully.

Seeing this, Liu Qingyu couldn't help frowning.If the entire arrest plan is delayed because the guards are entangled here, then things will be a big deal.

Liu Qingyu directly said to the five procuratorate judicial police brought along with the car: "You should control this place immediately, let's go in first, we can't delay this operation."

Following Liu Qingyu's order, on the minibus, five judicial police officers from the procuratorate came down in uniform. After showing the relevant documents in accordance with the relevant procedures, the leader said with a serious expression: "We are currently performing a task. , please take the initiative to cooperate."

After speaking, the bailiffs gathered the guards together and put away their communication tools. Liu Qingyu and others immediately drove into the compound of the municipal party committee leader and stopped directly in front of the villa of Mayor Hou Yuqiang's house.

Li Tanping and Mu Xiaosi got out of the car first, came to the door, and rang the doorbell.

At this moment, it is already 4:50 in the morning.

The eastern sky is already pale, and a red sun is rising.

The first to be woken by the bell was the nanny.

After the nanny got up, she checked the time. It was not yet five o'clock. At this time, the mayor upstairs must be fast asleep.The nanny knows the habits of the mayor. He usually wakes up at around 05:30, and during the time before he wakes up, there is no important matter, and no one is allowed to disturb him.Because the Mayor Hou often suffers from insomnia, sleep during this time is very important to him.

The nanny quickly walked to the gate, immediately blocked the sound of the doorbell from the inside, opened the small window of the anti-theft door from the inside, took a look outside, and couldn't help but her face darkened.

The two men didn't know each other.
