"I really can't persuade him to continue such nonsense. I think you have to try it yourself." Lawyer Liu Jing held the mobile phone.
On the other end of the phone was He Yiming. At this time, He Yiming did not look panicked or anxious, and he also had a smile on his face.
"If you can't persuade him, don't persuade him. According to what he said, prepare the materials he wants, tell him how to deal with any situation, and what he should say when people ask questions wherever he goes. There must be a rehearsal in advance. Chapter." He Yiming continued: "Don't think of this matter as his nonsense. He is not young anymore and is not a child anymore. I guess maybe this matter is really beyond his ability. That’s the bottom line of acceptance!”
"But this is really not worth the gain." Liu Jing wanted to work harder and try to persuade He Yiming.
"There are many things. You know that the gain will outweigh the loss, but you still don't do it?" He Yiming changed his voice and asked: "By the way, when is he going to 'surrender'?"
"He said it's not too late and it's better to go earlier than later, so he decided to go tomorrow." Liu Jing answered honestly.
"Tomorrow, the action will be quite fast, there will be another good show soon!" He Yiming said and laughed, pretending to be watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
…
Fang Jianguo is the deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Municipal Procuratorate and a member of the Procuratorial Committee. In his forties, he is eloquent, wise and humorous, and is an outstanding prosecutor with quite a charming personality in the inspection system.
On this day, Fang Jianguo was analyzing the case, when a staff member hurried in.
"Fang Ju! Fang Ju!"
"What happened? You look so panicked. Take a breath and speak slowly." Fang Jianguo said.
"Someone surrendered." The man said.
"Voluntarily surrender? This is rare. You may not encounter one in several years. Who is here? What level of official is he?" Fang Jianguo asked with interest.
"Zhang Guan! It's Zhang Guan! It's that Zhang Guan! That Zhang Guan on TV!"
"Zhang Guan? Are you mistaken?" Fang Jianguo looked incredulous.
"Absolutely, it's really him, sitting in the reception room. Fang Ju, we can't make up our minds. You'd better go and see for yourself!"
"Zhang Guan surrendered? No, right? You are still mistaken. Even if it is really him, he cannot surrender. We are the Anti-Corruption Bureau and we are targeting national public officials, and Zhang Guan is not a national public official. Well, athletes are barely considered public officials, but what kind of director do you think he is? Do you think he can embezzle public funds or embezzle state-owned assets? He must be here for other things." Fang Jianguo He stood up and continued: "Come on, let's go take a look. Xiao Liu, go to my office and get some of my good tea leaves to brew. He is a well-known athlete after all, so we can't neglect him."
…
Two minutes later, Fang Jianguo saw Zhang Guan.
"Hello, I am Fang Jianguo, deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau." Fang Jianguo introduced himself first.
"Hello, Director Fang, I am surrendering myself." Zhang Guan said directly.
"Haha, do you have any misunderstanding about the functions of our Anti-Corruption Bureau?" Fang Jianguo said with a smile.
"I really surrendered." Zhang Guan nodded seriously, and then said: "Two weeks ago, I paid a bribe of US$700,000 to eight people including Chen Dong, deputy secretary-general of the Ski Association, to help them go to Europe. Travel expenses. Here is their bill from the Meribel resort in France.”
Zhang Guan said and handed the document bag in his hand to Fang Jianguo.
Fang Jianguo's expression became serious for a moment. He made an estimate in his mind. The eight people were worth 700,000 US dollars. The average amount for each person was close to 90,000 US dollars. When converted into RMB, it was almost 600,000 US dollars. Although this amount was not huge, But it is by no means too small. According to regulations, if the amount of bribes exceeds 5,000 yuan, the Anti-Corruption Bureau must file a case. If the amount of bribes exceeds 50,000 yuan, in principle, a suspended sentence will not be granted. The amount of 600,000 is enough to sentence a person to more than ten years in prison.
"Which song is Zhang Guan singing about?" Fang Jianguo opened the document bag, which contained the information of eight people including Chen Chong, hotel registration information and consumption bills. Fang Jianguo glanced at it and saw six-digit euros. ’s bill, you know that this matter is most likely true.
Fang Jianguo frowned and thought for a while. He really couldn't understand what Zhang Guan wanted to do, so he asked: "Why did you accept bribes from them? As far as I know, you and the Snow Association should not have any direct interests. Right? There should be a reason for accepting bribes, right?"
"Chen Dong came to ask me for it in person. He asked me for two million US dollars at first, but it was finally reduced to 700,000 US dollars. I don't know if this is considered asking for a bribe. You have to investigate Chen Dong's problem." Zhang Guan said vaguely.
Fang Jianguo became more and more confused. He looked at the bill again. The French words on the bill were also followed by English, so their expenses were clear at a glance.
"A dessert is 95 euros? A steak is 170 euros? A caviar is 220 euros? Wine is 10,000 euros! 1982 Lafite! How dare they drink a bottle of wine worth more than 100,000 yuan!" Fang Jianguo took a deep breath. Just by looking at the price list, Fang Jianguo could guess that this was definitely not spending his own money. Even many rich and corrupt officials would not be so generous when eating and drinking with their own money.
"There is a problem. There must be something wrong here. Could Zhang Guan have a grudge against these people and come here to take revenge on purpose?" Fang Jianguo's mind started to spin rapidly. He knew that this matter was definitely not as bribery as Zhang Guan said. It's simple, there must be something hidden inside.
"Judging from the way the bill is spent, this is more like eating and drinking with public funds. If you really take bribes, it's hundreds of thousands of dollars. Is it better to put the money in your pocket than not to eat or drink? I want to kick it into my pocket. You can buy a car, a house, or gold, but it will be gone after you eat and drink. The corrupt officials I usually deal with are all people who want benefits. Many people would rather hide their money and let it grow moldy than eat well or wear clothes. Okay, how can any corrupt official just do it to satisfy his addiction, and eight people are doing it together!" Fang Jianguo looked at the bill again: "Assuming that this expense was not provided by Zhang Guan, then this is at most public funds. If you want to eat or drink with public funds, you should first go to the disciplinary inspection department of their unit instead of coming to our Anti-Corruption Bureau. But Zhang Guan came to our Anti-Corruption Bureau and accused himself of bribery. This is unreasonable. Huh? Being able to force Zhang Guan into this position shows that the disciplinary inspection department of their unit is useless, so Zhang Guan found the Anti-Corruption Bureau!"
Fang Jianguo is indeed a shrewd and capable prosecutor, and he has handled too many complex cases and has an incomparable understanding of many things within the system. After a little thought, he can roughly guess what is going on.
"Zhang Guan, you must have been to other places before coming to us, right?" Fang Jianguo said while inadvertently observing the changes in Zhang Guan's expression.
Zhang Guan hesitated and did not answer immediately, but from Zhang Guan's performance, Fang Jianguo already got the answer he wanted.
