Chapter 418 No one visits the temple without a reason
Zhao Lei looked at the black plastic bag in front of him but did not reach out to take it.
But 100,000 yuan was very tempting to him.
Having served as a police officer for many years, Zhao Lei has handled countless cases.
He knew which cases he could manipulate and which cases he had to stick to the bottom line and not back down even a step.
Just like some money can be accepted, while other money cannot.
"President Liao, this puts me in a difficult position." Zhao Lei picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and said, "This is a case personally assigned by Secretary Liang. If I handle it unclearly, it will be hard to explain to the other side."
Liao Chenggong laughed: "Captain Zhao, what do you mean by 'unclear'?"
As I just said, it was Song Hui's personal action; he installed the cameras privately for profit.
With witnesses and physical evidence, the facts are clear, and the evidence is conclusive—that's what we call crystal clear.
Liao Chenggong lowered his voice: "Don't worry about Secretary Liang. He asked you to investigate to find out how the video was leaked, not to turn Qingyan upside down."
Give him the conclusion: those who should be arrested have been arrested, and those that should be sealed have been sealed. Then he will have an explanation.
As for what the conclusion is, as long as it makes sense, he won't take it too seriously.
Having handled countless cases and met countless people, Zhao Lei knew perfectly well who had installed the hidden cameras in the villa.
Otherwise, why would Liao Chenggong be in such a hurry? And why would he give him 100,000 yuan?
"Mr. Liao, is Song Hui reliable?"
Liao Chenggong laughed heartily: "Captain Zhao, it was all Song Huiqian's fault. As his superior, I begged and pleaded with everyone I could to reduce his punishment as much as possible."
Zhao Lei laughed: "President Liao, we're old friends, so there's no need to beat around the bush. I'm asking you, is Song Hui reliable?"
Liao Chenggong stopped pretending, knowing that his little tricks couldn't be hidden from veteran detective Zhao Lei.
"Don't worry, Captain Zhao, everything is ready. Song Hui himself is also willing to take responsibility."
He admitted that due to family difficulties and his own greed, he saw online that some people were collecting such videos, so he privately purchased three miniature cameras and used his work to install them in three rooms of the resort.
He himself couldn't say for sure who was filming the secretly taken photos.
He contacted buyers through some clandestine online channels and sold the videos, earning a total profit of about 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, all of which he used for family expenses.
Purchase records, chat logs, and transfer records are all available.
Zhao Lei nodded: "Okay, then I understand. I'll take people to the resort tomorrow."
Procedurally, all the necessary steps will be followed, including questioning, investigation, evidence collection, and possibly taking Song Hui back for questioning.
Mr. Liao, your resort needs to cooperate well. You need to arrange the necessary surveillance footage and the staff who need to be interviewed.
In addition, I will not be going alone tomorrow; I will be accompanied by two of my subordinates, who are also my apprentices.
One person can't handle a case. I'm afraid the two of them will take it too seriously.
Zhao Lei was implying to Liao Chenggong that he should also give red envelopes to Zhao Lei's two subordinates.
Liao Chenggong understood perfectly well, and chuckled, "Captain Zhao, please rest assured, everything is ready."
"That's good. Mr. Liao is indeed very thorough in his work."
Tomorrow I will act according to the situation, complete the procedures, and leave the matter to Song Hui personally.
As for the rest, I hope that General Manager Liao will pay more attention to the management of the resort in the future, so that this will not happen again.
Please also ask General Manager Liao to communicate more with Secretary Liang so that I can report back to him.
"Absolutely, absolutely! Captain Zhao, rest assured, this kind of mistake will never happen again."
I will also explain things clearly to Secretary Liang, and I will absolutely not let Captain Zhao be put in a difficult position.
……
The next day, Zhao Lei arrived at the resort with two police officers.
The investigation, questioning, and record retrieval procedures were all carried out flawlessly.
Song Hui's "confession" was as smooth and natural as expected, with purchase records, online contact screenshots, and transfer vouchers all included, forming a complete closed loop of the chain.
Zhao Lei organized the investigation report and interrogation records and personally delivered them to Liang Dongming's office.
In the office, besides Liang Dongming, there were also Chen Jimin and Deng Haidong.
Zhao Lei reported: "Secretary Liang, according to the investigation, the incident of secretly filming at the resort can be basically determined to be the personal behavior of Song Hui, an employee of the resort's logistics department."
The motivation was family hardship and greed for money.
He purchased miniature cameras online and secretly installed them in three rooms, taking advantage of his position. He then sold the footage through specific channels for profit, earning a total of over 43,000 yuan.
The relevant chain of evidence has been established, and Song Hui himself has confessed to the crime.
The person has been criminally detained and will be transferred to the procuratorate according to legal procedures.
As Liang Dongming listened and flipped through the report, he said, "Comrade Zhao Lei, thank you for your hard work. This case was handled quickly and clearly, with solid and sufficient evidence."
Zhao Lei said, "Secretary Liang, this is what we should do."
However, regarding the origin of this case—how the video ended up in County Chief Wu's hands—Song Hui said he didn't know who the specific buyer was, as online transactions are always anonymous. This part of the trail has temporarily gone cold.
"Yes, cybercrime is difficult to track, which is understandable." Liang Dongming nodded, seemingly unconcerned.
He gently placed the report on the table and leaned back in his chair.
"This incident is extremely serious. An employee of a resort dared to secretly film leading cadres for a little money, violating their personal privacy and almost causing a negative political impact."
This exposes huge loopholes in the company's management and a serious lack of supervision and education for its employees. It should serve as a wake-up call for us, comrades.
Liang Dongming then changed the subject: "Now that the case has been investigated and found to be an individual act with no direct instigation from the company's management, we should handle the parties involved according to the law. Those who should be arrested should be arrested, and those who should be sentenced should be sentenced."
Liang Dongming turned his gaze to Deng Haidong and Chen Jimin: "When something like this happens, there are certainly external factors and the machinations of villains, but if we ask ourselves honestly, do we have no problems at all?"
If you act uprightly, remain vigilant at all times, and strictly abide by discipline and rules, how can others easily find fault with you?
Chen Jimin and Deng Haidong's faces burned with embarrassment, and they nodded repeatedly: "Secretary Liang's criticism is correct. We relaxed our standards and were not careful enough in private, giving those with ulterior motives an opportunity. We will definitely reflect deeply on this and learn from our mistakes."
Liang Dongming waved his hand: "It's good that you've realized your mistake. Let's leave it at that."
Song Hui handled the matter according to the law, and the resort strengthened its management.
Liang Dongming looked at Zhao Lei: "The parts of the case report that involve the privacy of leaders need to be technically processed."
When transferring and archiving information, it is essential to ensure that the relevant information is limited to the scope necessary for case handling and to strictly control the extent to which the information is accessible.
Zhao Lei understood immediately: "Secretary Liang, please rest assured, we will keep this strictly confidential and control the scope of knowledge."
After Zhao Lei left, Liang Dongming said to Chen Jimin and Deng Haidong, "Let's consider this matter over. The organization will not pursue it further."
You should also let go of your burdens and devote all your energy to your work.
Qingyan is currently at a critical juncture of overcoming difficulties and challenges. What it needs is unity and hard work, not internal strife, much less picking fights and finding fault with each other.
Chen Jimin and Deng Haidong quickly replied, "Thank you, Secretary Liang! We will definitely remember your teachings, thoroughly correct our mistakes, and do our best in our work. We will never let you down again!"
Liang Dongming nodded: "It's good that you think that way. But how did the video end up in Comrade Wu Zhiyuan's hands?"
Although there is no evidence for this issue, everyone knows the truth.
He used this method to control his comrades in order to achieve his own goals in the Standing Committee. This approach is very wrong, undermines unity, and is extremely serious!
It is normal for comrades to have different opinions, which can be resolved through organizational procedures, meetings, or even debates.
However, we must never resort to such underhanded methods, and we must never seize upon a comrade's non-principle mistakes in private situations or use them as a tool for blackmail!
This is gangster-like behavior; it's a serious lack of political acumen and adherence to rules!
Liang Dongming's tone grew increasingly harsh as he spoke: "Today, he can use this to force you to submit. Tomorrow, will he be able to use similar methods to deal with other comrades?"
If this continues, what will the political environment of Qingyan become? Everyone will be insecure and wary of each other; how can we talk about unity and getting things done then?
Liang Dongming softened his tone and continued, "I will personally discuss this matter with Comrade Wu Zhiyuan."
As the county party secretary, I have a responsibility to maintain the unity of the leadership team and to correct any malpractices.
We should treat our comrades with the principle of learning from past mistakes to avoid future ones and curing the disease to save the patient. If they make mistakes, we should criticize them and help them correct them.
The purpose is to promote unity and work, not to condemn someone outright or to exploit mistakes for personal gain.
"If there are shortcomings, we will correct them; if there are none, we will strive to improve. This is our consistent attitude."
He looked at Chen Jimin and Deng Haidong: "You two are the same. This is a lesson you should learn from."
From now on, we must focus all our efforts on the development of Qingyan and the well-being of its people.
As long as you are dedicated to public service and work diligently, the organization will see it, and I, Liang Dongming, will see it too.
Let bygones be bygones; the key is what to do in the future.
The two solemnly reiterated, "We understand! Secretary Liang, please rest assured, we will definitely make up for our mistakes and prove ourselves through our work!"
After Deng Haidong and Chen Jimin left, Liang Dongming humbled himself and took the initiative to visit Wu Zhiyuan's office.
Wu Zhiyuan was reviewing documents when he saw Liang Dongming arrive. He was somewhat surprised and stood up: "Secretary Liang, what brings you here? You could have just called me if you needed anything."
"It's nothing. I just finished up some work and came over to chat." Liang Dongming said with a smile.
One doesn't visit the temple without a reason.
Wu Zhiyuan knew that Liang Dongming's personal visit must have something to say.
He brewed a cup of tea for Liang Dongming.
"Zhiyuan, how have you been feeling since you came to Qingyan? Is work going smoothly?"
"We are still adapting and learning. The situation in Qingyan is quite complicated, and a lot of work needs to be sorted out gradually."
"Yes, Qingyan has a weak foundation, many problems, and heavy development tasks."
This requires our team, especially our two main leaders, to work together with one heart and one mind.
However, it's normal to have different opinions or even arguments at work.
Disagreements are not a problem; what is a problem is failing to reach a consensus through the right methods, escalating disagreements, and even introducing unhealthy factors.
Wu Zhiyuan felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that the real topic was about to be discussed.
He remained calm and gave a soft "hmm" to indicate that he was listening.
Liang Dongming said unhurriedly, "Take the management of pedestrian streets as an example. Your original intention was good. You were considering people's livelihood and exploring new paths."
My considerations may focus more on the current pressures of creating a comprehensive overall framework and managing the city's image.
We have different perspectives, which can be discussed, or a democratic decision can be made at the Standing Committee meeting.
Finally, the Standing Committee reached a resolution, and the actions were taken in accordance with the resolution. This reflects democratic centralism, which is excellent.
He paused, then said earnestly, "But, Zhiyuan, I've heard some negative feedback."
Of course, it might be a rumor, but as the class monitor, I feel it's necessary to inform you and give you a heads-up, to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings between us.
Wu Zhiyuan put down his teacup and looked directly at Liang Dongming: "Secretary Liang, please speak."
Liang Dongming asked directly, "I heard that before the Standing Committee meeting, you spoke with Comrade Jimin and Comrade Haidong separately?"
