Names: Uncle Zhao Mengsheng, Father-in-law Pei Yihong

Tian Guofu stood up, shaking his head and clapping his hands.

He's a complete clown.

"Secretary Sha, I, Tian Guofu, have been working for so many years and have never been corrupt. The Discipline Inspection Commission's accounts are open to anyone to check at any time."

I just find this process really annoying.

Isn't this a clear indication that they don't trust us?

"If we're in the second or third batch, it doesn't matter to me."

Sha Ruijin laughed, "Guofu, since there's nothing fishy going on, then cooperate with the work."

Comrade Changsheng is also doing this for the sake of the province's efforts to build a clean government. We are all working for the development of Handong, so let's not be prejudiced.

Go back and explain it to your comrades. A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear.

Cooperate fully with the Audit Department.

What can be done if they don't cooperate?

Tian Guofu knew that saying anything more would make him seem guilty, so he forced a smile.

"Alright, since Secretary Sha has spoken, I will go back and implement it. I will definitely cooperate fully with the Audit Department's work."

How could I possibly cooperate?

I don't care, it doesn't matter!

As Tian Guofu walked out of Sha Ruijin's office, his face darkened.

The situation in Handong is about to change.

Is there some kind of agreement between Sha Ruijin and Liu Changsheng?

What role did Qi Tongwei play in it?

Tian Guofu was naturally suspicious; he loved to doubt this and that.

the other side.

Handong Provincial Procuratorate.

Ji Changming was sitting in his office chair, looking at an indictment in his hand.

The phone rang.

When I answered the phone, I heard a message from the audit and procuratorate.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Changming put the receiver back on the landline and didn't move for a long time.

audit.

Public security, procuratorate, court, judicial administration, and discipline inspection.

These five words are like five towering mountains, making it hard to breathe.

Ji Changming is a seasoned veteran.

Having served as the chief prosecutor for many years, he naturally understands the principle that "if the water is too clear, there will be no fish."

The prosecutor's office's accounts appear clean and clear on the surface, but if you look closely, you can always find clues.

Or rather, it has some flaws.

Putting aside everything else, just the anti-corruption bureau's case-handling expenses and the procurement of technical investigation equipment over the years—only those who handled it know how many intricacies were involved.

The former head of the Anti-Corruption Bureau was Chen Hai, who is currently in the hospital after being involved in an electric scooter accident.

The current head of the Anti-Corruption Bureau is Hou Liangping, who is also a troublesome fellow.

If the auditors come in at this time and find out something, I might end up taking the blame.

Ji Changming picked up the internal phone. "Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lin, come to my office."

Two minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

Boom boom boom!

"Enter!"

Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lin Peiqiang walked in.

Lin Peiqiang is under fifty years old, which is the prime of his career. He is usually very cautious in his work.

Although he is not yet the executive deputy chief prosecutor, he does many things on behalf of Ji Changming.

This is equivalent to a deputy chief prosecutor in name only.

"Ji Jian, you wanted to see me?" Lin Peiqiang closed the door behind him.

Ji Changming pointed to the chair opposite him.

"Comrade Peiqiang, please sit down."

Ji Changming got up and went forward to personally pour Lin Peiqiang a cup of hot water.

This made Lin Peiqiang feel flattered.

He took the cup with both hands and sat with half of his buttocks dangling in the air.

It seemed to be the first time Lao Ji had poured himself tea.

Something unusual is definitely going on. This is not simple, definitely not simple. There must be something going on here.

"Comrade Peiqiang, have you heard about the meeting at the provincial government?" Ji Changming asked directly.

Lin Peiqiang hadn't received any news yet. "When will the quarterly inspection be held? I don't know."

I really don't know.

"Oh, I heard. They say there's going to be a special audit, and our procuratorate is on the list." Ji Changming briefly explained what he knew. "Peiqiang, what do you think?"

Lin Peiqiang thought about it carefully, choosing his words meticulously.

"Regarding quarterly inspections, I personally believe that auditing is a normal supervisory method, and our procuratorate just needs to cooperate. I already instructed the staff in the finance department last week to organize the accounts and be ready to receive any kind of inspection at any time."

Some things must be done in advance.

Ji Changming looked at Lin Peiqiang.

The answer was too official; it wasn't what he wanted to hear.

"Peiqiang, there are no outsiders here, let's speak frankly behind closed doors. How clean is our procuratorate really? You've been involved in a lot of things, so I need to know the situation. I'm just afraid something might go wrong."

He was afraid that he would lose face in his later years and not be able to retire peacefully.

Lin Peiqiang's heart was in his throat.

Ji Changming is testing the waters and shirking responsibility.

If a problem is found, Ji Changming, as the top leader, will definitely need to find a scapegoat, and he, as the deputy chief prosecutor, is the best choice.

"Ji Jian, our institute's accounts are definitely fine in general." Lin Peiqiang leaned forward and lowered his voice, "However, as you know, the Anti-Corruption Bureau handled several major cases before, and some expenses for handling clues and handling cases in other places went through special channels. If the Audit Department insists on scrutinizing the details of these accounts, it might cause some trouble."

Ji Changming tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

As expected.

"Can it be remedied?" Ji Changming asked.

"The quarterly inspection isn't about any one of us pocketing the money; it's just that we really can't issue invoices. But the money has already been spent, and I've already asked the finance department to handle it, to get the invoices and paperwork sorted out. As long as the audit office doesn't deliberately make things difficult, we should be able to get through it." Lin Peiqiang felt that there shouldn't be any major problems.

Ji Changming nodded. "That's good."

Remember, whatever is discovered must not be related to the case handling process.

As long as our case can withstand scrutiny, no one can do anything to us.

What are your thoughts on Chen Hai's bizarre car accident?

Mentioning Chen Hai creates a somewhat somber atmosphere in the office.

Lin Peiqiang sighed, "Chen Hai's car accident is too strange. An electric bike crashed into a car, and the brakes didn't work. Interesting."

They even suspected that Chen Hai was after Qi Tongwei.

Is it going to crash into Qi Tongwei's car?

However, there is no evidence.

"The Chen couple are getting old, and we can't let them stay in the hospital all the time," Ji Changming said. "The hospital needs to send people to take turns caring for them and provide logistical support."

Actually, it was done for Xiao Jinzi's benefit.

Ji Changming naturally knew that Chen Hai was not in any serious condition.

Normally, there is no need for a caregiver.

Lin Peiqiang nodded, "Inspector Ji, I'll make the arrangements in a bit."

Zhou Zheng was assigned to keep watch that night.

The young man was in his early twenties, physically fit, and quick-witted.

Ji Changming asked, "What about during the day?"

"Chen Qunfang will be assigned during the day. Women are meticulous and easy to take care of." In any case, it's impossible to assign my niece, Lin Huahua, to go.

the other side.

Qi Tongwei left the Handong Provincial Government and went home first.

Pei Xiaotong has not returned yet.

I picked up a potted plant and decided to go to the No. 3 courtyard of the Provincial Party Committee to have a chat with Teacher Gao Yuliang.

Just as I stepped out of the No. 6 compound of the Provincial Party Committee, I ran into Tian Guofu.

"Executive Qi, are you going to deliver a gift?" No matter how much he disliked him, Tian Guofu still gave the order.

The question of "going to deliver a gift" was clearly barbed.

"Comrade Guofu, does this cactus violate the Eight-Point Regulation?" Qi Tongwei's question stumped Tian Guofu.

"Executive Qi, it's not against the rules. Of course it's not against the rules." Tian Guofu grinned. "I was just joking."

"Comrade Guofu is not funny at all. How about we have the Audit Department audit your family first tomorrow?" Qi Tongwei walked away and turned into the No. 3 compound of the Provincial Party Committee.
