Chapter 423 Refusal to Cooperate
Mayor Zhou hid the money himself.
Only his wife knew where he hid the money.
His wife was holding the ladder and watching him put the box of money into the haystack above the pigsty.
Everyone in the countryside knows this.
That place was dark, damp, and smelly.
The straw was used to line the pigsty.
Dry straw was stored on a wooden frame above the pigpen. Every so often, some dry straw would be spread on the pigpen, and the pigs would eat, drink, and defecate on the dry straw.
Gradually, the dry straw soaked in pig excrement became fertilizer and could be used as manure in the fields.
This place is generally inaccessible to most people.
The taste is too strong.
Only older village women can do this kind of work.
This place is quite safe.
Mayor Zhou of Xiaotang Town thought, "No one will find that place, right?"
But I didn't expect that.
His most trusted teammate—his wife—actually betrayed him?!
"You've gone too far."
They will be punished.
Those who roam the underworld all believe in protecting one's wife and children from harm.
Why are you looking for my wife and kids?
What did they do wrong?
Mayor Zhou slammed his fist on the table in anger, his eyes wide with fury.
It's good to be angry.
Getting angry means you've hit the nail on the head.
The comrades from the Yuanshan County Discipline Inspection Commission appeared increasingly calm at this moment.
"It seems you know a lot about the ways of the martial arts world."
You must have had a lot of dealings with people in the martial arts world before, right?
Of those 180 million, how much came from people within the system, and how much from your friends in the underworld?!
They avoided discussing the issues he cared about, and only talked about what they themselves cared about.
Focus on the main theme.
The comrades in the county discipline inspection commission all have their own set of methods.
Old Zhou has already lost his temper and composure; this is the perfect time to make a breakthrough.
"Aren't you supposed to be able to investigate? Why are you asking me why?"
Go ask that woman.
Don't you have plenty of tricks up your sleeve?
Mayor Zhou shouted in strong opposition.
"We are giving you a chance."
Even if you don't tell us, we can definitely find out.
However, the results of your investigation will include a few more things:
Refusal to cooperate!
Poor attitude towards admitting guilt!
Resistance investigation!
We've dealt with far too many people like you.
I'll say something I shouldn't.
If you take a hard line, that's fine. The tougher you are in dealing with it, the more accomplished we feel, and the happier the people of Xiaotang will be.
Do you think I want you to confess?
This is policy, there's nothing we can do about it, I have to tell you.
Whether you're honest or not is up to you.
We have plenty of ways.
If you can hold back your tears for three days, I'll consider you awesome and call you a man!
Having said that, the young comrade waved his hand.
Two police officers guarding him rushed up and tried to take him away.
The detention center in Yuanshan County has been renovated and is now staffed with 12 police officers to guard it.
Old Zhou was grabbed by both arms and lifted off the chair by the two men.
Yes, bring it up.
He couldn't use his strength anymore.
I'm still scared.
Back in the detention room, it was brightly lit and equipped with nine cameras, providing comprehensive surveillance.
Two police officers were watching him from both sides.
He lay in bed, his mind blank.
What Lao Zhou didn't know was that the box wasn't the one his wife had confessed about, but rather the box belonging to a young cadre in the town.
That official and his wife had been having an affair for a long time.
Once, his wife was in a good mood after being well taken care of, so she gave the young cadre a Samsung phone, saying that her family had plenty of money and it was no big deal.
When the young cadre asked, his wife couldn't keep her composure and blurted out that there was more than a million yuan hidden in the house, in a place no one would expect.
Old Zhou's house isn't that big of a place.
By searching every corner, you can always find the pigsty; that's how you find them.
The clue that his wife was having an affair was provided by Deputy Mayor Qu.
Deputy Mayor Qu had known about these things for a long time, but he didn't dare to report them because no one was taking the lead and he was afraid that his voice would carry little weight.
Now that Lao Zhou has been taken away, the opportunity has arrived.
Only then did Deputy Mayor Qu dare to step forward.
Mayor Zhou has been in officialdom for quite some time.
His affairs involve far more than just 180 million.
Some old grievances are best left unsaid; revealing them would be far more damaging than the 180 million.
Lying on the cold bed in the detention room, he tossed and turned.
He knew very well that even if he didn't pursue anything else, as long as it was just about 180 million, Old Zhou's life was over.
He's going to jail for sure.
It's simply a matter of determining the severity of the sentence.
Now that things have come to this, perhaps we should try to get a lighter punishment...
"Young comrade, may I see Director Yao Zhan?" Mayor Zhou asked softly.
"Secretary Yao Zhan is out on business and doesn't have time to see you."
"I need to explain my situation."
"The leader instructed that if you need to make a statement, you just need to go to the interrogation room to write it down; Secretary Yao Zhan doesn't need to come out."
ruthless.
It seems the county discipline inspection commission officials had already anticipated that Old Zhou wouldn't be able to pull through.
They didn't even give him a chance to see Yao Zhan.
They just act like they don't care whether they explain or not.
He told himself to write it.
If you don't confess, then we'll continue to deal with you.
The heads of the various supervisory offices of the county discipline inspection commission have different methods for handling cases.
The leader in charge of Mayor Zhou's case believed that at this point, they should give the other party the cold shoulder.
The more this happens, the more frightened an old fox like Lao Zhou becomes.
Writing this confession took all night long...
That night.
David couldn't sleep peacefully either.
When his parents arrived in the first half of the night, Chen Shouren said he wanted to stay and spend the night with them, but Dawei persuaded him to go back home.
Lin Yunxing was on duty in the outer corridor.
Just in case, Xiao Yanfang also arranged for plainclothes officers to patrol the corridor.
After all, it was in the city, not in a remote mountain county, and Zheng Zhiguo and Xiao Yanfang were worried about Dawei's safety.
In the middle of the night, Ye Xiangju from next door kept sending messages.
Constantly testing the waters.
Are you asleep?
Are you hungry?
"I'm going back tomorrow, is there anything you want to say to me, Dawei?"
"Dawei, would you like to come over and have some fruit? These mangoes are huge! Didn't you say you liked them?"
……
David didn't reply to a single message.
The other party's meaning is crystal clear.
Especially when it comes to fruit, it's a topic of mutual understanding between the two.
David did mention the mango at the time, saying it looked very similar.
But this is in a hospital, and the corridors and nurses' stations are full of people, unlike before when we were in the car.
In the early hours of the morning, Dawei drifted off to sleep, when he felt someone moving his blanket.
Just as he was about to turn on the bedside lamp, his mouth was covered.
"Don't open it."
Who else could that voice be but the one next door?
"Are you crazy? This is a hospital..."
"It's okay, nobody knows."
"Where are all those people outside!" Dawei pressed the blanket tightly against his head.
"The nurses at the nurses' station are asleep, and the plainclothes officers in the hallway and your driver are smoking outside. They didn't see me coming."
"How could I not have seen you? You did see you, but you were too afraid to say anything, weren't you?"
Ye Xiangju chuckled mischievously, "That's none of my business."
If you don't dare to speak up, it's the same as not seeing it.
If no one sees it, no one will know.
If you don't know, then what are you afraid of?
Isn't this the same as when we were in the car...?
