Chapter 573

Qiao Lianzhou, who knew he had no way out, cooperated fully with Lin Dongfan's interrogation this time, honestly answering every question, whether it hit hard or not.

The final interrogation result had one key point—Old Qiao is a scapegoat!

Whether it's the truth of the 'illegal organ transplant case' or the 'Qiao Lianzhou second suicide case,' the first suspect pointed to is Jiang Lin.

But Jiang Lin herself does not have the ability to mobilize so many official resources.

In other words, the capable man behind Jiang Lin is the true mastermind! Whether that capable man is Lv Yizhi or Lv Yiewan, we still need to twist his wrist.

After interrogating Qiao Lianzhou.

That night, Lin Dongfan summoned the core members of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, as well as Chen Shaokang of the Provincial Public Security Department's Criminal Investigation Corps, and held a brief case progress meeting.

At this meeting.

Chen Shaokang lived up to expectations, reporting a good news—little nurse Liu Wen has confessed! Under the 'Great Memory Restoration Technique,' even Empress Wu would have to bow and beg for mercy—'Official, spare my life!'

"According to Liu Wen's confession, using the 'Human Organ Voluntary Donation Consent Form,' she impersonated the 'Surgical Risk Consent Form,' tricking Huang Xiuju into signing and stamping, under the direction of Dean He Zhiqiang."

"What's the deal with that 500,000 yuan transfer?"

Lin Dongfan gazed at Chen Shaokang sitting on the right side of the conference table, listening attentively to Chen Shaokang's report.

Chen Shaokang picked up another statement from the table, and while reading, replied: 'According to Liu Wen's confession, it was He Zhiqiang who called Chu Lingxi, using the pretense of your fundraising, to trick Chu Lingxi into transferring 500,000 yuan, but...'

"But what? Lin Dongfan waited quietly for the continuation."

Chen Shaokang frowned and replied: 'I went to interrogate He Zhiqiang; He Zhiqiang denied making the call to trick the donation, saying it was someone from the province who made the call. As for who exactly, he said he didn't know either. He said Jiang Lin had once confidently told him: the higher-ups would manipulate the Anti-Corruption Bureau people, telling him to let go and do as he pleased, and if the sky fell, the higher-ups would cover for him.'

"In other words, only Jiang Lin knows who made the fraudulent donation call?" Lin Dongfan asked.

Chen Shaokang nodded: 'For now, that seems to be the situation. The specific truth will only be known after Jiang Lin is interrogated.'

The discussion of the case has reached this point, and all arrows once again point to Jiang Lin.

Prying open Jiang Lin's mouth has become the urgent priority.

Lin Dongfan immediately shifted his gaze to Jian Sining: 'Sining, tomorrow you will interrogate Jiang Lin. No matter what method you use, you must get her to confess.'

"Understood."

Jian Sining nodded confidently.

Lin Dongfan then shifted his gaze to Peng Tianhua: 'Old Peng, Lv Yizhi is a provincial-ministerial level official; our provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau people can't conveniently keep an eye on him, so this task falls to you. You represent the Supreme Procuratorate Anti-Corruption Bureau; tomorrow go talk to him first, test his hand. Warn him that he cannot leave Yuezhou City recently and must be available on summon. If he leaves Yuezhou City, treat it as fleeing! If the higher-ups assign blame, Li Mingtang will bear it.'

Upon hearing this, Old Peng nearly burst into tears from laughter.

He had thought that Fan Ye would say, 'If the higher-ups blame someone, I'll take the responsibility!' But he didn't expect Fan Ye to still be as shameless as ever, only responsible for stirring up trouble, leaving the cleanup to the higher-ups.

Li Mingtang, the big boss of the General Bureau in Jingcheng, also doesn't know if he's sneezing right now.

As Peng Tianhua was daydreaming, Fan Ye cast a puzzled glance: 'Old Peng, what's got you so happy? You're laughing like an idiot.'

"I'm not laughing; I'm silently mourning Director Li."

Peng Tianhua still grinned, unable to hold back; just thinking of Li Mingtang being called to the office by his superiors and scolded made him feel secretly delighted.

Peng Tianhua excitedly said: 'Director Lin, rest assured, tomorrow I'll go talk to Lv Yizhi. Starting tomorrow, I'll put my full effort into monitoring him; if he dares to step even half a step out of Yuezhou City, I'll arrest him on the spot! As you wish, I'll stir up as much trouble as possible, and I won't let Director Li idle.'

"Not bad awareness, meeting adjourned."

No one knows what will happen tomorrow; Lin Dongfan also doesn't know, but he can be certain of one thing: tonight, someone will definitely not be able to sleep.

Qiao Lianzhou has already awakened, and Jiang Lin's trial is imminent.

The most panicked person right now—Lv Yizhi—is sitting in the late-night canteen slurping instant noodles! Whenever he feels nervous and anxious, he likes to have a bowl of cheap instant noodles.

No one knows why.

Wu Changsheng, sitting opposite, dared not ask more and also accompanied him in eating a bucket of instant noodles.

Wu Changsheng said: 'Old leader, back then you transferred me to the Provincial Party Committee Office and arranged things elsewhere, letting me serve as secretary to Wang Daochen. Over these years, I have never concealed any of Wang Daochen's moves from you. Do you today not trust me? If you have something to say, don't say it over the phone; you insist on having me come out to report in person.'

Now the province is turbulent, and meeting privately carries great risk.

This is something everyone knows well.

Lv Yizhi replied: 'If we plant an eyewitness beside the top leader, and this gets out, the first one who won't be able to get away with it will be me. If it weren't an urgent situation, I wouldn't want to meet you in person. Jiang Lin has been arrested, and Lin Dongfan leans on his red family background to refuse to release her. Now Qiao Lianzhou has awakened again, and the situation is very unfavorable for me.'

"What do you plan to do about it?"

"First answer me a question: Has Wang Daochen already decided to support Song Zhangeng's promotion to provincial governor? Have they talked privately?"

"Song Zhangeng indeed visited Secretary Wang, but as to what they talked about, I don't know. At that time, Secretary Wang intentionally sent me away; I guess they were discussing private matters, more or less."

"Hehe, they really are trying to step on me!"

In the midst of talking and laughing, Lv Yizhi lowered his head and vigorously slurped a mouthful of noodles, eating as if it weren't noodles but the bone marrow of Wang and Song, chewing with a fierce vigor.

Finally, Lv Yizhi threw out another harsh remark: 'Contact G Xiansheng first to have him help kill Lin Dongfan. After I get past this obstacle, I'll slowly compete with Song Zhangeng.'

"This..."

"Any problem?"

Halfway through slurping the noodles, with the strands hanging from Lv Yizhi's mouth, he didn't bother with all that, first lifting his head to glance at Wu Changsheng.

Wu Changsheng quickly put down his chopsticks.

Wu Changsheng respectfully straightened his body and replied: 'Old leader, it's not that I have a problem on my side; it's G Xiansheng. He has a principle: only save lives, not kill.'

"A political broker, where would he get all these broken rules? It's just a matter of money." Lv Yizhi sucked the noodles in his mouth all the way down, chewing and saying: 'Go talk to him—is 100 million enough? If not, then 200 million; you first front me the money, and later I'll figure out how to get a project for your relatives.'

"......!!!"

Lv Yizhi's words left Wu Changsheng feeling as if sitting on pins and needles, his palms already sweating with nervousness.

Wu Changsheng now understands what it means to be desperate enough to jump over the wall; the old leader has gone mad with fury! Who is Lin Dongfan? He's from the Lin Family! If we kill him, do we still have a way out?

Wu Changsheng steadied himself.

Wu Changsheng cautiously replied: 'G Xiansheng indeed has his own principles; this isn't a matter of more or less money. Earlier he advised me to flee and to compete with Lin Dongfan.'

"I've struggled until sixty to reach my current position; taking one step forward would open up new upward space. If I now flee, wouldn't my whole life have been in vain?"

Lv Yizhi lifted his head and gave Wu Changsheng a white-eye look.

He then lowered his head again to continue slurping the noodles, eating while criticizing: 'I helped you up, gave you authority, so you could help me solve problems, not to advise me to tuck my tail and flee!'
