In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

"As everyone knows."

Gao Yuliang looked somewhat somber and sighed, "Because of the Hanchao League, I've been in more contact with Comrade Qingguo lately. Besides football, we occasionally chat about work as well."

Ha ha!

Lin Zhiyuan's lips twitched.

If you want to say it, just say it. At this point, everyone knows your background. Why do you have to drag yourself into this? It's really annoying.

No wonder Tian Guofu doesn't like him.

Live it!

"The matter came up in casual conversation. The municipal bureau's investigation had been slow and made no progress. They asked me if the provincial procuratorate had any opinions. I thought of the investigation into Diaozhou by Executive Director Lin and the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, so I contacted the case management department directly to inquire without much thought."

Gao Yuliang showed a hint of apology to Lin Zhiyuan and Li Guofeng, and criticized himself, "After so many years of work, some behaviors have become habits. I have absolutely no intention of interfering in the internal work of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee and the public security, procuratorate, court and judicial system. Please forgive me, Executive Director Lin and Prosecutor Zhang."

"The case is the priority."

Lin Zhiyuan was too lazy to play along and said directly.

"it is good."

Gao Yuliang nodded, "But something strange happened. The case management office replied that they had not received the filing documents from the Diaozhou Municipal Political and Legal Committee and the Municipal Bureau."

"I confirmed with Comrade Qingguo several times that there were written documents on file in Diaozhou, and then I thought about whether to send them to the High Court."

"Then they contacted the Public Prosecutor's Office again."

"But something strange happened again, and the First Prosecution Division gave me the same answer."

"Just like that, a document that followed the proper internal procedures of the system mysteriously disappeared after being submitted."

Gao Yuliang clasped his hands tightly together and rubbed them together, making a rustling sound that was unsettling to hear. "I immediately realized that there were two possibilities."

"Firstly, the paper document was lost midway through the process for unknown reasons. Based on this speculation, we retrieved the relevant electronic files, but then another unexpected event occurred..."

"The Political and Legal Affairs Commission's internal system is currently connecting with the online government affairs platform and sharing some data, which has delayed the upload of electronic files."

"So many unexpected events have led me to a second, deeper suspicion: it wasn't an accident, but rather deliberate..."

"Only if there was a problem in a certain link within the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the four major systems could they have such a good understanding of the system integration and such good timing."

Gao Yuliang concluded, "Considering the potential seriousness of the matter, I reported it to Secretary Sha and Secretary Guo Fu immediately."

"Executive Director Lin, I apologize for not informing you immediately because it may involve internal matters of the political and legal system."

Gao Yuliang looked at Lin Zhiyuan and said sincerely.

"That's a good thing!"

"Secretary Yuliang has found a major loophole in the political and legal system."

Lin Zhiyuan's words were equally sincere, but then he abruptly changed the subject, "However, considering the work procedures and possible subsequent investigations, I would like to trouble Secretary Yuliang to write a statement explaining the situation."

"This will also allow us to better cooperate with Diaozhou in carrying out our work, don't you think? Comrade Guofeng, Comrade Zengjia."

Everyone looked at him strangely. As expected of Lin Zhiyuan, he said it was okay, but his counterattack came without warning.

"Um."

Zhang Guofeng nodded, not wanting to say another word.

Clearly, Gao Yuliang is about to make his move. Given that the other party has served as the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission for so many years, who knows what other hidden dangers might lurk within the Provincial Procuratorate? He doesn't want to confront him too directly.

"I agree."

Zeng Jia was direct, affirming on the spot.

Zhang Guofeng still wanted to try and save face, but he was different. He had only been the president of the High Court for a few years. He had to suppress the influence of the Yao family, which was dominant at the time, and the possibility of him being killed later was already slim.

All the past events are inextricably linked to Gao Yuliang, and I hate him to death. Now he wants to drag the High Court into it. This is intolerable.

Of course, Lin Zhiyuan also disliked...

The King of Lid Lifting!

So annoying!

"Of course."

Gao Yuliang nodded, seemingly unconcerned, as if everything he did was solely for the purpose of getting the group up and running.

That's roughly how it is.

Sha Ruijin picked up the conversation, still feeling incredibly irritated. Less than two months had passed in Jiangdong, and you're starting again. Will there ever be any peace in Handong?

So annoying!

Teaming up with you guys is truly a misfortune.

But as the class monitor, he had to remain calm, his expression dignified and solemn. "There is currently no evidence to clearly show whether the deceased borrower and Liu San have any criminal connection, or whether there are any other people involved in Liu San's murder case."

"But if it's true, it involves serious matters."

"We must investigate."

The voice just fell.

Before Sha Ruijin could even observe the reactions of others, he heard a voice of approval in his ear; it was Tian Guofu.

Is the sun rising in the west? Or is there another purpose?

"After receiving the leads from the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has begun a phased and planned investigation, and Diaozhou is on the first batch of the list."

Tian Guofu's eyes gleamed. Actually, that wasn't quite right; he should say the first, not the first batch.

"The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has discovered that the target of the investigation may be involved in transferring assets or absconding, and is currently monitoring the flow of funds."

Tian Guofu ignored everyone else and continued, "But regarding what Secretary Gao mentioned, I tried to connect the two events. If the disappearance of the filing documents, the appearance of the borrower, and even Liu San's murder case were not accidental but deliberately designed, it seems quite reasonable that if the investigation target became alert and was systematically diverting the attention of the public security, procuratorate, court, and even the city and province."

"I am not making baseless speculations."

"The work of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection is based on evidence."

Tian Guofu took out his phone and pulled up an internal document, which turned out to be about the investigation of Liu Kaihe, the former secretary of the Luzhou Municipal Party Committee who had already been dismissed.

"Three months after Liu Kaihe was placed under investigation, the shocking Liu San murder case occurred in Handong, which is one reason; the investigation target had served as the deputy mayor of Luzhou, which is another reason."

"Based on the above situation."

"I agree to reinvestigate Liu San's case, but I suggest we investigate it as three separate cases: the lost filing documents, the borrower's car accident, and Liu San's murder case."

Tian Guofu put his phone back in his pocket, his gaze fixed unabashedly on Gao Yuliang, his eyes deep and unfathomable, making it impossible to discern what he was thinking.

Everyone present was astonished.

Lin Zhiyuan, Liu Changsheng, and Sha Ruijin, in particular, had heard Tian Guofu's accusations that Gao Yuliang was the mastermind behind the platform case.

Others were just skeptical.

Tian Guofu, however, used the clues he had to connect all the plot points in a strange and logical way. He thought it was just a flash in the pan, but unexpectedly, it happened again today.

Once is a coincidence, twice is a skill.

Gee!

He was able to rise again despite being transferred to the position of secretary of the discipline inspection commission in a neighboring provincial capital city after suffering a major demerit, and despite losing his age advantage.

Where would you find truly mediocre people!
