Nominal: The Handong Game, the Energy System's Counterattack

"The general situation of what happened the night Ding Yizhen fled is probably known to everyone. It is explained very clearly in the documents sent to everyone by the Provincial Party Committee Secretariat."

Zhou Chuyi raised the report he had pulled out of the folder.

"Here, I will not go into the impromptu discussion meeting chaired by Secretary Yuliang at that time."

"I'll show you something else."

As he spoke, Zhou Chuyi took out a USB drive, and soon a staff member projected the contents of the USB drive onto the screen.

"This is the surveillance footage from inside and around the hotel where the reception for the Guangming Peak project was held on the night Ding Yizhen fled."

"After you've read it, you can discuss it."

The original surveillance video was very long, but Zhou Chuyi had Cheng Du arrange for it to be edited in advance to make it more intuitive for everyone to see.

The video finished playing quickly, but many members of the Standing Committee didn't understand what Zhou Chuyi meant.

"Comrade Chu Yi, is there a problem with showing everyone this surveillance video?" Gao Yuliang frowned as he looked at Zhou Chu Yi.

"It seems that everyone, like Secretary Yuliang, hasn't noticed that something is wrong."

Zhou Chuyi picked up the remote and dragged the video to the beginning.

"Secretary Yuliang, when did you receive the phone call from Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming that night?"

Zhou Chuyi didn't specify the problem, but instead asked Gao Yuliang a question.

Gao Yuliang, unsure of Zhou Chuyi's intentions, pondered for a moment before replying, "Around eight o'clock in the evening."

Zhou Chuyi nodded and looked at the Standing Committee members: "Comrades, the first thing I want to emphasize is the issue of time."

"Look, everyone, at the beginning of the surveillance footage, it shows the time when the prosecutor's office vehicle arrived not far from the entrance of the hotel where Ding Yizhen was entertaining investors."

"The time was 8:23. Fifteen minutes later, two field staff members from the procuratorate changed into ordinary clothes and entered the hotel."

Zhou Chuyi then dragged the video to the scene of Lin Huahua and Zhou Zheng entering the hotel.

"According to the provincial party committee secretariat's records, the time when Secretary Yuliang and Secretary Dakang's temporary meeting started was 8:33."

As he spoke, Zhou Chuyi held up the document he had just shown.

"Comrade Chu Yi, what does this mean?" Li Dakang asked, puzzled.

"They seem unrelated, but there's a big problem behind them." Zhou Chuyi raised his voice slightly.

"According to what everyone knows, Chen Hai, the director of the provincial anti-corruption bureau, received a call that evening from Hou Liangping, the chief of the anti-corruption bureau of the Supreme People's Procuratorate."

"The other party said that Ding Yizhen, the vice mayor of Jingzhou City, was suspected of corruption and demanded that Chen Hai bring people to take Ding Yizhen into custody."

Here, Zhou Chuyi was being rather tactful; Hou Liangping's demand at the time was probably to arrest people directly.

"However, since it involves a deputy mayor at the provincial level, it's no small matter. Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming stopped Chen Hai and his team from taking action."

"The materials state that Comrade Ji Changming halted Chen Hai's operation and took Chen Hai to report to the Provincial Party Committee."

"After that, it was Secretary Yuliang and the others' turn to discuss how to handle the situation."

Zhou Chuyi adjusted his posture and explained to the various standing committee members.

"As I just mentioned, Comrade Ji Changming has halted all actions taken by the Anti-Corruption Bureau against Ding Yizhen, and is awaiting instructions from the Provincial Party Committee."

"But look at the time, everyone. The prosecutor's office car arrived outside Ding Yizhen's hotel at 8:23."

"Secretary Dakang just asked if there was a problem. The problem is that at 8:23, Ji Changming and Chen Hai were still on their way to the Provincial Party Committee."

"Meanwhile, the anti-corruption bureau staff of the procuratorate have already begun preparations for surveillance, monitoring, and arrest of Ding Yizhen!"

Everyone understood, and they all turned to look at Gao Yuliang.

"In other words, these are the comrades from the anti-corruption bureau of the procuratorate."

"There was neither a case filing decision approved by the provincial procuratorate in accordance with the law, nor any legally binding documents for coercive measures such as summons, arrest, or residential surveillance."

"There was no order from the provincial party committee, and there was no legal basis for law enforcement or case handling, nor any legal and valid judicial documents to support it."

"Enforcement without evidence, procedural violations, and unauthorized initiation of case-handling actions."

Upon hearing this, Sha Ruijin smiled slightly.

He brought up Ding Yizhen to cause trouble for Gao Yuliang, but Gao Yuliang blocked him with a series of unreasonable arguments.

Now that Zhou Chuyi has produced evidence, it shows that the people in the procuratorate have problems. Now let's see if you, Gao Yuliang, still want to shut up and not pursue the matter.

At this point, all the standing committee members in the conference room understood the issue Zhou Chuyi was referring to and began discussing it among themselves.

"Comrade Chu Yi, what you said is true, but is there any possibility?"

"The comrades from the Anti-Corruption Bureau are just intervening in advance, just in case."

"After all, our provincial party committee ultimately decided to first detain Ding Yizhen and take measures against him."

Gao Yuliang knew that the person leading the team that night was Lu Yike, who was his nominal niece.

With Lin Huahua added to the mix, along with the Wu family, the Lin family, and Lu Yike's father, Gao Yuliang couldn't afford to be disrespectful.

"Secretary Yuliang is right, it is indeed possible. After all, if a department-level cadre really has a problem, it will be a big deal no matter where he is."

Zhou Chuyi did not deny Gao Yuliang's sophistry, "This is another issue I want to address. It was precisely the actions of these prosecutors that led to Ding Yizhen's escape."

Many people looked at Zhou Chuyi after hearing his rather serious words.

"People may think my words are a bit arbitrary, but look at the behavior of these comrades from the procuratorate."

"I can say that these people, as members of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Provincial Procuratorate, completely lack the professionalism expected of law enforcement officials."

Zhou Chuyi spoke very seriously, raising his hand to switch the video to a viewpoint, which showed surveillance footage from several intersections near the hotel that night.

"Look, everyone, if the prosecutors did set up surveillance in advance as Gao Yuliang suggested, just in case."

"Then their behavior is simply a disgrace to our law enforcement officers."

"First of all, the deployment and control measures were seriously unprofessional, and the control points were too limited."

"Look, everyone, the procuratorate only dispatched a small team of four or five people, driving a car with flashing police lights, parked at the intersection not far from the hotel entrance."

"At the other intersections, nobody paid any attention."

"Even late at night, the bright police lights were flashing, and the words 'Prosecutor's Office' on the bread truck were clearly visible from dozens of meters away."

"Before even taking any action, they clearly tell others that we are from the procuratorate and that we are about to take action."

Anyone with even a little bit of vigilance knows something bad is going to happen.

Looking at the images on the screen and listening to Zhou Chuyi's words, all the Standing Committee members couldn't help but nod in agreement.

By doing this, aren't the prosecutors essentially telling the other party in advance, "I'm going to arrest you"?

Was the way these people from the procuratorate were doing this to set up surveillance in advance, just in case, or to tip off others?
