Chapter 2500: Speculation (5000 words)
"Comrade Liu Lijuan!" Gu Bing's voice sounded again: "Has the victim of Hu Dajun's son Hu Gang's rape case come?"
Liu Lijuan nodded and responded: "They are here. They are in my office now. I'll go call them over."
Gu Bing waved his hand, signaling Liu Lijuan to go quickly, and added: "While Secretary Sun is here, it's just right to seek justice for them."
Sun Baocun's pupils shrank slightly, but his tone was exceptionally calm: "The Discipline Inspection Commission can't manage criminal cases, and it's not under my jurisdiction. What you should do is report to the police and let the police investigate."
"No, no, no!" Gu Bing raised his finger and shook it: "Hu Gang committed a criminal case, but the key to the problem is that Hu Dajun, this father, was the factory director of the Woolen Mill at that time.
As a public official, he wantonly exercised power for his own benefit, bullied and intimidated the victim and her family, and forced the victim's family to agree to his unreasonable demands. This is typical abuse of power and power misuse. This is not under the police's jurisdiction, but the scope of the Discipline Inspection Commission's duties!"
Sun Baocun was almost angered to the point of vomiting blood. He greeted all the women of Gu Bing's eighteen generations in his heart, but in the end, he was helpless. The whole situation had been mastered by Gu Bing, and he could only be led by the nose now.
Just at this time, Sun Baocun unconsciously glanced at Zhou Andong. This guy was standing on the side, looking very bored. He hugged his chest with one hand, and held a cigarette with the other, smoking one puff after another. This made Sun Baocun's brows knit slightly, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.
He suddenly realized a very important problem. From the moment he stepped into the movie theater, Zhou Andong seemed to have said very few words. From beginning to end, the development of the matter seemed to be led by Gu Bing.
Sun Baocun was not a fool. He could sit in his current position, naturally having extraordinary intelligence and insight. He immediately realized that Gu Bing was likely charging into battle for Zhou Andong. This made Sun Baocun shocked again in his heart, and he began to re-examine the relationship between Zhou Andong and Gu Bing.
All along, they had regarded Zhou Andong as a thorn in their side, but had never put Gu Bing in their eyes. Even this time, setting up a trap to deal with Gu Bing was only because they wanted to use Gu Bing to strike at Zhou Andong. Now it seemed that their contempt for Gu Bing might be a huge mistake, and it was extremely outrageous.
Gu Bing was willing to charge into battle for Zhou Andong, wanting to put Shi Guoqiang, Hu Dajun, and Shao Yan and others to death. This was definitely not as simple as just offending him and the Yin family.
It was true that Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun were people of the Yin family, but they themselves also had a complex and huge interest network behind them. This network not only covered Shao Yan and Dong Dashan and others, but even extended to many other aspects.
Even the Yin family, who regarded the Woolen Mill as their own backyard, adopted an attitude of turning a blind eye to this interest network, and would never easily touch it, let alone destroy the balance of this network, letting the people in this network suck blood on the Woolen Mill like parasites.
Therefore, once Shi Guoqiang, Hu Dajun, and Shao Yan and others were uprooted, it would be equivalent to cutting off the financial path of everyone in this network. How could these people let it go?
Thinking of this, Sun Baocun's eyelids jumped violently again, and his gaze fell on Gu Bing again. Zhou Andong cunningly hid on the side, but let you charge into battle in front. Are you really not afraid of retaliation?
Sun Baocun looked at Gu Bing with increasingly profound eyes. If Gu Bing was not a fool, then there must be a powerful background behind him, so he was not afraid of anything. He even hoped that someone would jump out, so he could take a knife and slaughter them one by one.
There are several leaders with the surname Gu in Jingcheng, but only one can make Gu Bing wade into the muddy water of the Woolen Mill without any scruples, and be so tough in charging into battle in front.
Just at this time, Liu Lijuan returned, followed closely by Li Wancheng and Li Fang, the father and daughter.
"Gu Shuji!" Liu Lijuan said: "I brought the people."
Gu Bing smiled and said to Li Wancheng with a gentle tone: "Comrade Li Wancheng, look, that is our city's Discipline Inspection Secretary, Secretary Sun. He is a very fair and clean good leader.
You can tell Secretary Sun about any grievances you have with confidence. I think Secretary Sun will definitely listen to your demands seriously and preside over justice for you. However, I have to remind you that when we reflect on problems, we must seek truth from facts, say one is one, and two is two, and absolutely cannot exaggerate or deliberately distort the facts. Only in this way can Secretary Sun better understand the situation and solve problems for you."
"Zhao Jiming!" Gu Bing shouted again.
Zhao Jiming hurriedly came out from the crowd: "Secretary, I am here!"
Gu Bing showed a faint smile, looked at Sun Baocun and said softly: "Secretary Sun, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Zhao Jiming, the deputy director of our factory's Discipline Inspection and Supervision Department."
"Back then, Comrade Li Wancheng learned that his daughter had been humiliated. Furious, he took a kitchen knife and looked for Hu Gang everywhere in the factory. But that trash didn't go to work after committing the crime, so he didn't find Hu Gang, but was caught by the Security Department Director Huang Junyong."
Saying that, Gu Bing paused slightly, then sighed: "Subsequently, Hu Dajun took 60,000 yuan to the Security Department and promised to arrange work for Li Wancheng's children. And Li Wancheng, forced by Hu Dajun's power and threats, had no choice but to sign a settlement agreement."
Gu Bing sneered: "60,000, I have to admit that this compensation amount is indeed quite considerable. But this is only civil compensation, which does not mean that the criminal Hu Gang can escape criminal punishment. Moreover, Li Wancheng reached a settlement under Hu Dajun's coercion."
Huang Junyong's complexion turned exceptionally pale, without a trace of blood. He widened his eyes, full of shock, clearly not expecting that this case would be turned over again after more than two years.
He was the Security Department Director, and the place where Hu Gang committed the crime was in the factory. Bringing Hu Gang to justice was his duty. But not only did he not arrest Hu Gang, he helped the evildoer, assisted Hu Dajun in intimidating and threatening the victim, and forced the victim's family to sign a settlement agreement.
This matter wasn't big when placed on him, but it wasn't small either. Mainly, he himself was full of shit, but he still had some count in his heart; his life could definitely be saved. However, if this case was added, it would be really hard to say.
Gu Bing looked at Liu Lijuan: "Did you call the police?"
"Called!" Liu Lijuan nodded: "It is estimated that they will arrive soon."
Gu Bing looked at Li Wancheng and said with a very gentle tone: "Tell Secretary Sun about the matter."
Today's scene was really too big, and Li Wancheng had been in tension. At this time, hearing Gu Bing's words, he took a deep breath, trying to calm his nervous emotions, but his palms were still slightly sweating.
Li Wancheng finally summoned his courage and began to tell the story in detail. His voice was a bit trembling, stopping from time to time, as if recalling those details.
Sun Baocun listened quietly, and his complexion returned to normal, looking very calm, because he had completely accepted his fate. One Zhou Andong had already made them disgraced, plus this Gu Bing who also had a considerable background, he really didn't feel that his head was hard enough to bump into these two guys.
Moreover, Sun Baocun had already made up his mind that he would definitely not wade into the muddy water of the Woolen Mill. Even if Old Yin spoke personally, he would never agree.
"Huang Junyong!" Sun Baocun didn't ask Zhao Jiming, but suddenly turned around, staring at Huang Junyong with eyes like torches: "You heard Comrade Li Wancheng's words just now, do you have anything to say?"
Huang Junyong's throat rolled with difficulty. He wanted to defend himself, but when he saw Zhao Jiming standing on the side, the words that reached his mouth were swallowed back hard.
Because he knew very well in his heart that since this case had been turned over, and there were Gu Bing and Zhou Andong staring at it, no matter what he said, it would be futile.
Gu Bing smiled slightly, and his gaze slowly turned to the reporter wearing a vest with the words 'Yugong Group TV Station' printed on it: "Xiao Chen, the machine should have been on all along, right?"
Xiao Chen heard Gu Bing's inquiry and hurriedly replied: "Yes, Director Gu, the machine has been on all along."
"Hmm, very good!" Gu Bing nodded with satisfaction, and the smile on his face became brighter: "The workers of our group, and the fellow folks in Jiangzhou, don't know Secretary Sun. So, after you go back, make a special program about what happened today."
Speaking of this, Gu Bing's eyes became brighter, and his tone became more enthusiastic: "This special program should be made more wonderful, fully showing Secretary Sun's demeanor.
Then, arrange to broadcast it during the prime time in the evening, so that the workers of our group, and the fellow folks in Jiangzhou, can all take a good look at Secretary Sun's demeanor!"
Sun Baocun's face turned black instantly, and he wanted to kill again, his teeth almost bitten to pieces. Damn it, you calculated me to this extent and still won't stop, actually wanting to make today's events into a documentary. This is the rhythm of forcing me to death.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Originally, he still held a glimmer of hope, thinking that even if he couldn't clear Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun of their crimes, he could at least think of ways to reduce their crimes.
However, now this plan was completely disrupted, because once this documentary was produced and broadcast, even if it was only in a small place like Jiangzhou, it would cause a huge uproar.
In this way, let alone wanting to operate secretly and reduce the crimes for Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun. Even if a fair and just investigation was launched, the pressure and risks he would face would not be small.
Wang Jianmin, standing in the crowd, had never lost the smile on his face. The trap Zhou Andong dug was really too deep. Let alone Sun Baocun, even if the old immortal from the Yin family came, he would have to be buried by Zhou Andong and Gu Bing.
Old Huang tilted his body slightly, leaned close to Old Song's ear and said: "This Gu Shuji is more insidious than you were back then, which really surprises me. However, with him in the Woolen Mill, some 'cow yellow dog treasures' (scum) won't be able to stir up any waves, and I can finally set my heart at ease."
Old Song said softly: "This Gu Shuji doesn't have such a brain."
Old Huang was stunned and asked softly: "Do you know the background of Gu Shuji?"
Old Song shook his head, then nodded again: "I'm just guessing, but it's eight or nine out of ten."
Old Huang asked curiously: "Who is he?"
Before Old Song could speak, the crowd blocking the office door and the corridor didn't know who shouted: "The police are here."
The leader was Gong Xuebing, the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Qinghe Branch. Because it was a rape case reported by Liu Lijuan, the deputy factory director of the Woolen Mill, he personally led the team to come.
He didn't know that this was a case from two years ago, and the criminal was Hu Dajun's son. If he had known, he would definitely not have run over personally to touch this hot potato.
"Hmm?" As soon as Gong Xuebing entered the office and saw Sun Baocun, he was stunned. Immediately after, he discovered that all the leadership of the Woolen Mill was here, and he immediately realized that it seemed this case was not as simple as he had imagined.
After all, a rape case wouldn't make all the leaders of the Woolen Mill attach so much importance to it, not to mention that the City Discipline Inspection Secretary was also here. Unless the one raped was Sun Baocun's daughter, only such an explanation would be reasonable, but he knew Sun Baocun only had a son and no daughter.
Messy thoughts just flashed in Gong Xuebing's brain, and then he saluted Sun Baocun without hesitation: "Secretary Sun, hello, I am Gong Xuebing, captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Qinghe Branch, please give instructions."
Sun Baocun nodded, and his dark face regained some ruddiness: "Hello, Comrade Gong Xuebing."
Gong Xuebing turned around and saluted Zhou Andong: "Factory Director Zhou, hello!"
"Hello!" Zhou Andong smiled and shook hands with Gong Xuebing.
Gong Xuebing turned around again and saluted Gu Bing: "Gu Shuji, hello!"
He hadn't seen Gu Bing, but this was the Secretary's office, and Gu Bing was sitting behind the desk, so his identity was self-evident. It's just that he was very surprised in his heart. Sun Baocun was standing, but Gu Bing was sitting there. He couldn't figure out how it felt weird.
It's just that he didn't have too much time to think. Gu Bing stood up and walked over, reached out his hand and said: "Hello, Captain Gong!"
Gong Xuebing hurriedly shook hands with Gu Bing: "Gu Shuji, can you introduce the situation to me?"
Gu Bing pointed to Li Wancheng and Li Fang, the father and daughter: "This case happened two years ago. They are the victims. If you have any questions, just ask them."
In Li Wancheng's heart, the police were more useful than Sun Baocun, this Discipline Inspection Secretary. Plus, with the factory director and secretary supporting him, his daughter's revenge would definitely be avenged. So, at this time, he was no longer nervous, but very excited.
"Comrade Police!" Li Wancheng's voice was slightly trembling. He tried hard to control his excited emotions, but still couldn't help choking up. He took a deep breath and then told the story in detail again.
Gong Xuebing listened quietly on the side. When he heard that the criminal was Hu Dajun's son Hu Gang, his heart thumped, and he was dumbfounded. He never expected that behind this case, it actually involved Hu Dajun.
At this very moment, Gong Xuebing's intestines were green with regret, and he really wanted to give himself a slap. But things had reached this point, and regret was of no avail. All the leaders of the Woolen Mill were present, especially Sun Baocun, this Discipline Inspection Secretary, was also here, so he had no retreat at all. Helplessly, Gong Xuebing could only bite the bullet and take over this case.
"Comrade Li Wancheng, this case has passed for two years, and some key evidence must have been missing. If there is no key evidence, this case is very difficult to handle."
"I can testify!" Zhao Jiming stood out and said righteously: "I am the deputy director of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Department of the Woolen Mill. I know the ins and outs of this matter relatively well."
Zhou Andong walked to the window in a bored manner, looking at the scenery outside and dazed. Gu Bing paced over, stood beside Zhou Andong, reached into his pocket and took out a cigarette, and handed one to Zhou Andong. Then, the two stood quietly by the window, without saying a word, just smoking silently.
Time passed second by second. After about twenty minutes, Gong Xuebing finally understood the whole process of the case. Although this case involved Hu Dajun and his son Hu Gang, since it fell on his head, there was no other choice, and he could only bite the bullet and handle this case well.
Gong Xuebing didn't delay any longer: "Comrade Li Wancheng, you and Comrade Li Fang come with me to the bureau to make a transcript."
Then, Gong Xuebing looked at Zhao Jiming: "Director Zhao, do you have time now? You also need to go back with me to make a transcript."
Zhao Jiming answered without hesitation: "Yes!"
Just at this time, Zhou Andong, who had been silent, spoke. He turned around, and his gaze fell straight on Huang Junyong: "Huang Junyong, you are an accomplice in this case. If you can confess now, it will count as your merit. I think Secretary Sun shouldn't object, right?"
Sun Baocun frowned slightly when he heard Zhou Andong's words, but still nodded: "Leniency for confession, severity for resistance, this is our consistent principle. If Huang Junyong can truthfully confess the problem, it can naturally count as a meritorious performance."
Huang Junyong's eyes lit up. Regardless of whether this was true or false, he had to grasp this straw of life: "I confess."
Zhou Andong nodded and said to Gong Xuebing: "Captain Gong, you'd better send someone to arrest Hu Gang now, so as to avoid him hearing the wind and running away. Once he runs away, it won't be easy to catch him."
Gong Xuebing hesitated. Although there was Zhao Jiming's testimony and Huang Junyong's confession, this case was definitely nailed down. But as an old criminal police officer, he understood very well that before getting enough evidence, the case would have a certain probability of making mistakes.
Moreover, this case involved Hu Dajun and his son Hu Gang. Now that he had just understood the situation, and went to arrest people without even making a transcript, he was crazy.
However, he could also understand why Zhou Andong was so anxious to let him arrest people. After all, Hu Dajun was once the factory director of the Woolen Mill, and at this moment, the office and the corridor outside were full of people. He didn't need to think to know that someone would definitely report the news, and it wouldn't be long before Hu Dajun received the news.
Gong Xuebing gritted his teeth and said to a criminal police officer beside him: "Old Li, you and Dahai and Wu Ming go to arrest the person."
"Yes!" Old Li waved his hand, took Dahai and Wu Ming and left quickly.
Immediately after, Gong Xuebing and Zhao Jiming took Huang Junyong and Li Wancheng and his daughter and left.
Gu Bing picked up the document on the desk, turned around and came to Sun Baocun's secretary, and put the thick stack of documents into the secretary's arms.
Zhou Andong also walked over, looked at Sun Baoxian, and smiled slightly: "Secretary Sun, you have to understand us. It's not that we insist on making trouble. It's just that if we don't clear out these parasites, it will chill people's hearts. If people's hearts are scattered, the team will be impossible to lead."
