Chapter 16: If you want to add crime, how can you worry about no words?
K City Taxation Bureau's dual regulations on Ye Ming are based on two points: Firstly, he publicly beat Li Li and Chen Weiping, causing Li Li to lose a tooth and Chen Weiping to suffer minor brain trauma, both constituting minor injuries, requiring re-investigation and further pursuit of his administrative responsibility; Secondly, two years ago, there was a report about Ye Ming receiving 3,000 yuan in bribes from "Hondao Advertising Company", although the city bureau's audit office had already made a conclusion at the time, but now that the parties have reported again, it is necessary to re-file and investigate.
Actually, Ye Ming was very clear: these two points were not tenable as reasons for his double regulation.
First, the beating of Li Li and Chen Weiping has already been concluded by the municipal bureau with disciplinary action taken and implemented. Now, the municipal bureau is again investigating itself on the same matter, which obviously means that the supervisory authority is overturning its own conclusion. Without mentioning the contradictions between before and after, this behavior is at least extremely absurd and unprofessional.
Secondly, two years ago that letter about "Hundada Advertising Company" reporting itself for accepting bribes was also an internal problem of their company and had nothing to do with me.
At that time, Ye Ming had not yet been transferred to the office and was still working at a district bureau in charge of individual tax collection on Guangming Road in the city. This Hongda Company had been operating without a license for over a year and had never filed or paid taxes. When Ye Ming conducted an investigation into "underreported and uncollected" accounts, he discovered that this company was evading taxes. He then ordered them to pay back taxes and late fees of over 200,000 yuan, as well as a fine of 100,000 yuan.
At that time, a temporary accountant of the company found Ye Ming's dormitory and insisted on giving him a red envelope, but was rejected by Ye Ming on the spot.
Later, Hantai Company paid the taxes, late fees and fines, but at the same time reported to the Municipal Bureau that Ye Ming had accepted 3,000 yuan from them.
The Municipal Bureau's Audit Office investigated the issues reflected in the whistleblower letter and finally concluded that: The accountant privately embezzled the 3,000 yuan that Ye Ming refused to accept and lied to the company boss that the money had been delivered. Later, when the boss saw that Ye Ming still insisted on paying the tax penalty, he thought that Ye Ming had accepted the money but did not handle the matter, so in a fit of anger, he reported it to the K City Taxation Bureau...
Ye Ming estimated: The reason why the Municipal Bureau wants to take double regulation measures against itself is that they think it has gone to the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission for a visit, which is the most taboo thing for the Municipal Bureau leaders; Second, Li Li has always been unwilling to be expelled, so he took the opportunity of the Municipal Bureau leaders' anger and proposed that the Monitoring Room take double regulation measures against himself, further digging into his own "disciplinary violations" behavior...
Moreover, the so-called "Hongda Company" re-reported its own problems, and it is estimated that Li Li was also behind this. He must have instigated a public security bureau cadre to let the company's boss re-report himself, trying to frame himself with the crime of "bribery", striving to trample himself to death and never be able to turn over...
When the head of the municipal bureau's discipline inspection team personally announced the implementation of double regulation measures against Ye Ming, Director Zou from the county bureau was also present.
Ye Ming saw: Zou Zu Chang called Shi Ju's Xia Zu Chang to one side, his face flushed with anger and argued with him for a long time, presumably to defend himself and plead his case.
However, Xia did not budge and instead scolded Zou with a straight face. He then ordered two officials from the Municipal Bureau's Supervision Office to take Ye Ming away in a car. The two officials sat on either side of him as they took him to the Baizhu County Taxation Bureau's guesthouse, where he was placed under soft detention in a room on the third floor with protective windows and anti-theft doors.
In the following days, Xia Zu and Director Li of the Municipal Bureau's Supervision Department took turns interrogating Ye Ming, asking him to confess to the process of beating Li Li and Chen Weiping, as well as the issue of receiving red envelopes from individual businesses during his tenure at the First Division.
For the first question, Ye Ming patiently and repeatedly told them about what happened on the day of the incident and why he hit the two men.
However, every time he heard that they had to pay bribes to individual households, he would become extremely angry and tell them sternly: In the year he worked at the sub-bureau, he was in charge of nearly two hundred individual households. However, he never accepted a meal from any individual household, never accepted a cigarette from an individual household, never asked any individual household to buy anything for him, let alone accept their bribes...
Later on, Ye Ming was too lazy to bother with them. Every time Xia Zu or Li Director came to ask him questions, he would close his eyes and meditate, letting them slam their fists on the table and stomp their feet in a rage, but he remained still like an old monk in meditation...
If he got really annoyed, he would open his eyes and stare at them with a slightly sarcastic gaze, saying: "Director Xia, Director Li, aren't you just trying to pin a crime on me that's enough to get me fired or sent to the judicial authorities for criminal liability? As the saying goes: 'If you want to frame someone, what's the worry about not having an excuse?' Just go find those individual business owners for evidence according to the crimes you want to pin on me. What's the point of getting my confession? Nowadays, when handling cases, it's all about emphasizing evidence and downplaying confessions. As long as you've found evidence of my bribery, even if I don't confess, you can still fire me or send me to the judicial authorities!"
Director Xia and Director Li heard his words, although they were furious, but also had no choice - according to their original idea, young cadres like Ye Ming, when managing individual households, would definitely receive some red envelopes or gifts, or go to the individual households to report something. As long as one of the individual households admitted that he had sent money or gifts to Ye Ming, it could be confirmed that he had violated discipline.
However, what disappointed them was that they had investigated many individual households on Guangming Road, but those individual households either didn't remember Ye Ming at all or shook their heads and said they had never sent anything to Ye Ming.
The only informer, the Hongda company that reported Ye Ming's bribery, couldn't produce any evidence to prove that the money was actually given to Ye Ming. Moreover, Xia Zu and others were very clear: Ye Ming had not accepted this money at all, so it would be very difficult to give him a guilty verdict for bribery...
On the seventh day after Ye Ming was taken away, a mysterious woman wearing sunglasses drove to the Xinleng County Bureau. After parking her car, she got out and came to the first floor of the office building, asking an official which office Ye Ming worked in.
The cadre looked at the girl with a somewhat strange gaze, who was wearing sunglasses and had an outstanding figure and elegant temperament. He felt that she looked familiar, so he asked: "What is your relationship with Ye Ming? What do you know about him?"
The girl said with a little embarrassment: "I am one of his friends, from the provincial city, and I came here specifically to see him."
"You've come at a bad time, Ye Ming has already been taken into custody by our municipal bureau's surveillance room and no one is allowed to visit him."
"What? He's been taken away for investigation? No wonder his phone can't be reached..."
The girl was clearly taken aback, stunned there for a moment, and didn't come back to her senses.
