So the other party directly opened the file on the desktop and read it according to the script.
"On July 15th, 12 million were deposited into your personal account."
After hearing what the Commissioner of Group L said, Lu Zhilian didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and regardless of whether it was in compliance with the rules or not, he directly reached out and grabbed the document in front of the other party, and then picked it up and looked at it himself.
He first checked the bank account, checking it number by number, and confirmed that it was indeed his account.
Then he looked at the transfer records and confirmed that there was a huge transfer of 12 million.
"explain?"
The commissioner of Group L did not pay attention to Lu Zhilian's obviously unruly behavior.
As Group L specializes in investigating its own people, the other party naturally has rich investigation experience and knows that facing an anti-corruption expert like Lu Zhilian, it must be taken by surprise in order to achieve good results.
And allowing the other party to do these illegal actions will make it easier to fix evidence in the subsequent prosecution stage.
Snapped--
After hearing the other party's question, Lu Zhilian reacted and closed the document, threw it in front of the other party again, and then spoke expressionlessly.
"I didn't know. Even before you said it, I didn't know there was an extra twelve million in my account."
"Hehehe!"
Hearing Lu Zhilian's words, this time it was the interrogator of Group L's turn to smile.
"How could you not know about it, senior? You wouldn't say that someone else deposited this money into your account for no reason. Is there a possibility that it was transferred by mistake? It's such a coincidence. How come no one deposited so much money to me by mistake?
Well, and I deposited such a large amount of money by mistake, but there was no follow-up reaction at all."
"I! No! Know!"
Lu Zhilian didn't wait for the other party to continue speaking, and kept saying the same words over and over again.
"Senior, as far as I know, in the private account you opened, there are text messages for all the incoming and outgoing accounts. You wouldn't say that you didn't see the text messages, right?"
But this time, the investigators of Team L did not follow Lu Zhilian's lead.
"Senior, my personal bank account, even my salary card, except for those companies that automatically transfer funds, even my mother and my wife don't know the specific account. Don't you want to tell me that your two million is
You won a big prize, so the bank took the initiative to transfer such a large amount of money to you."
Lu Zhilian was still repeating that he didn't know anything, but when he heard the account information, he was stunned for a moment.
In fact, as the investigator said, there are so many numbers in bank card accounts that most people would not be able to remember the accounts if they were not thoughtful people like him.
Not to mention that as an anti-corruption commissioner, Lu Zhilian has always maintained a high degree of confidentiality in his personal information. He is also very conscious about keeping some of his information confidential in his daily life and work.
Theoretically, it is impossible for anyone except some bank staff to know his bank account.
"I recently wanted to receive a bonus, so I handed over a copy of my bank card to the administration department."
Lu Zhilian thought about it, and finally remembered that the possible opportunity to leak the news was when he applied for bonuses for Liu Baoqiang and Zhou Xingxing when handling the case last time. Since he also met the conditions, he also received a sum of money.
"Senior, are you saying that someone from the ICAC deliberately framed you? It seems that senior is doubting us."
"Since you are launching an investigation into me, someone must have reported me.
According to the rules, you cannot say who reported me.
Why you reported me, you won’t say.
The purpose of your questioning me now is to allow me to take the initiative to explain myself and confirm whether there are any flaws or clues.
The fact that the other party can know my bank card account without anyone noticing is already the biggest flaw.
Do you think I, as an anti-corruption expert, would be stupid enough to use my own bank card if I really wanted to collect black money?"
Lu Zhilian looked up at the other party, and then the topic got straight to the point.
"Haha, senior, do you want to discuss with me the cross-examination skills trained by the ICAC?"
Hearing Lu Zhilian's words, the investigators of Team L did not have any unexpected reaction.
"According to Green's Theory, there are two types of people who are the most confident in the world today, one is the ignorant, and the other is the arrogant."
"There are always some people who think that because they know the rules well, they can play with them and fool everyone around them."
"Senior, I wonder what kind of person you are?"
Dong Dong——
However, Lu Zhilian chose to knock on the table again, and then looked at the other party.
"You can always say the time of reporting. Have you investigated the background of the reporting person?"
Lu Zhilian became more and more enthusiastic as he asked.
"You should take care of yourself first. Are you short of money? Are these eight words, Chief Investigation Director of the ICAC, worth only 12 million?"
"The words ICAC are not so cheap!"
The investigator on the opposite side became angrier and angrier as he talked, and this time he didn't even say the word "senior" to him.
"I have never accepted a bribe, and I also want to know the truth!"
When Lu Zhilian heard what the other party said, he spoke seriously again.
"So, could the truth be that those who investigate corruption are themselves corrupt?"
The investigators of Team L also had a serious tone.
When Lu Zhilian heard what the other party said, he simply lay back: "If there is enough evidence, you can follow the procedure."
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.
"Okay, think about it again and see if there is any way you can help yourself."
When the investigators of Group L saw Lu Zhilian's attitude, they immediately knew that there was no need to say anything more.
"By the way, there is another small problem. Last time, my senior helped two police officers apply for a bonus. According to our internal investigation, we found that the procedures did not comply with the regulations, so the bonus will be revoked.
Senior, the same goes for your own."
After the other party finished speaking, he stood up and left the interrogation room.
When Lu Zhilian heard the other party's last words, his face suddenly darkened.
"Sir Liu, why did you appear in Kwun Tong District on the night of June 11th?"
The two ICAC commissioners looked at Liu Baoqiang, who was sitting across the interrogation table.
"I'm sorry, it involves police secrets, so I have no comment."
Liu Baoqiang did not take the ICAC commissioner's inquiries seriously at all.
"Sir Liu, according to Director Lu, you suddenly appeared when they were in danger. Where were you hiding before? Why did you happen to appear near the safe house arranged by our Independent Commission Against Corruption?
?”
"I'm sorry, it involves police secrets, so I have no comment."
Liu Baoqiang kept saying that sentence over and over again, but the ICAC investigator was really helpless in his reaction.
Because Liu Baoqiang was involved in the Jockey Club shooting case at the time, the Jockey Club was worried about causing bad publicity and specifically asked the police to keep the case confidential.
Generally speaking, ordinary police cases have confidentiality requirements. For example, in cases involving the Jockey Club, the level of confidentiality is indeed very high.
Not to mention that the Independent Commission Against Corruption currently has no evidence of Liu Baoqiang's illegal crimes. Even if there is, the Jockey Club shooting case has nothing to do with his criminal facts. So Liu Baoqiang said it was kept secret, and they really have no reason to continue questioning.
In fact, as early as when it received the report about Liu Baoqiang, the Independent Commission Against Corruption had already wanted to negotiate with the police to learn the details of the case.
After all, the timing of Liu Baoqiang and Zhou Xingxing's appearance that night was indeed a coincidence.
But unfortunately, given the relationship between the police force and the ICAC, they naturally did not achieve any good results.
This is also the main reason why Lu Zhilian was able to help suppress complaints against Liu Baoqiang.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption itself actually knows that it is basically impossible to find the fact that Liu Baoqiang has violated the law from this.
But now that Lu Zhilian himself has been reported, and there is a certain degree of suspicion, if the results are used to deduce the facts, some people in the ICAC naturally hope to dig out some evidence from Liu Baoqiang that is worth their efforts.
But these interrogators obviously underestimated Liu Baoqiang.
Just one sentence from Liu Baoqiang made it impossible for the ICAC's inquiry to proceed at all.
"Sir Liu, I regret to inform you that according to our review, we found that the bonus procedure that Director Lu submitted for you last time did not comply with the ICAC regulations, so we require you to return the last bonus in accordance with the law. Please give it a refund within three working days.
Transfer the money to our designated collection account, otherwise we reserve the right to sue you. You can leave now."
The interrogation method failed to find any useful information from Liu Baoqiang, and the ICAC investigators did not waste much time. Finally, they asked Liu Baoqiang face to face to collect the bonus he received from the last time he helped handle the case.
"Tch, if you can, just go ahead and sue me."
When he heard that he wanted to refund the money, Liu Baoqiang changed his face for the first time.
He owed the police force a lot of money because he used to like gambling. He was not rich at all and could not even go to some entertainment venues.
In order to be able to lift this restriction as soon as possible, he had already used the bonus from the Independent Commission Against Corruption last time to repay the money. Now his pocket is cleaner than his face, so naturally he can't get the money out.
Moreover, he couldn't stand the stingy behavior of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, so he directly chose to go back.
Anyway, his monthly salary is first sent to the bankruptcy and reorganization department of the police force, which then provides him with the minimum living allowance based on his actual consumption.
If the Independent Commission Against Corruption is really capable, then go there and ask for money.
"Senior, you are lucky. The evidence we have currently cannot directly prosecute you, so you can leave temporarily. However, according to the procedures, please hand over your law enforcement certificate and gun. From now on, all ICAC work and authority will be suspended.
, wait until we have a clear review, and then decide whether you can return to work based on the final results."
On the other side, Team L's investigation into Lu Zhilian has also reached a deadlock.
Although there was a deposit of funds from an unknown source in Lu Zhilian's account, there was no other evidence to prove that the other party had accepted bribes, so in the end the ICAC only decided to suspend Lu Zhilian.
"However, because we may find new evidence at any time and re-question you, before the case is over, you still need to hand over your passport, and do not leave Hong Kong in the near future, waiting for our subpoena."
"Motive, everything has a motive. Before you investigate me, you'd better find out what the motive is of the person who reported me!"
When Lu Zhilian was alone for a short time, he naturally thought about why he was reported.
Finally, he thought of the recent cases he was involved in.
Since he initiated the investigation into Z Fund, he has encountered many more crises recently than he had in the previous ten years combined.
And judging from the identities and backgrounds of the people he is currently investigating, if you want to slander him, you can actually do it easily.
So Lu Zhilian quickly figured out that the purpose of those who slandered him was actually very simple, which was to suspend Lu Zhilian from his job so that he could not launch an investigation into him.
But even though he thought of this, he still had no evidence.
And even if he revealed that a huge sum of twelve million was involved, few people would believe that the other party was using such a huge amount of money just to suspend him from his job.
The L team investigator said something very well.
The words "Chief Investigating Officer of the ICAC" definitely mean more than 12 million.
But it is a bit unbelievable that they are willing to pay such a large amount of money just to get him suspended.
More importantly, if the other party is caught committing perjury, he will also go to jail.
"Bank, go to the bank and investigate the source of this money. Then you can know who wants to mess with me."
Lu Zhilian quickly thought of the crux of the problem.
So he cooperated and handed over his ID and accessories, and strode towards the door.
When I walked to the door, I happened to meet Liu Baoqiang who was also walking out from the opposite side.
"Damn, I knew the ICAC couldn't be trusted. The promised bonus was actually taken back. This is the first time I've encountered this kind of thing."
When Liu Baoqiang saw Lu Zhilian, he immediately became furious.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this."
Lu Zhilian could understand Liu Baoqiang's anger.
In fact, he was also very angry when he heard about this.
Because according to the rules of the ICAC, bonuses like this should not be affected. It can only be said that Team L is even more unscrupulous in their work than the investigators of the ICAC.
"Sir Liu, big news. There has been a lot of noise outside recently. It can be described as murderous and headless!"
Liu Baoqiang and Lu Zhilian walked out of the ICAC gate together and waited for Zhou Xingxing.
The reason why Zhou Xingxing appears here is not because he has to be questioned by the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
His status is different from Liu Baoqiang.
Although Zhou Xingxing is usually unreliable and is constantly punished within the police force, when it comes to matters of right and wrong, his resume is surprisingly clean.
At least if someone said that Zhou Xingxing had taken bribes, no one would believe that he would do so.
Liu Baoqiang is naturally not trusted because of his dark history of gambling.
Like Zhou Xingxing, even if the ICAC wants to launch an investigation into him, it is generally difficult to get permission from the court.
The police-integrity relationship itself is already very rigid, so all parties usually try to avoid possible conflicts between the two parties.
"I can understand the murderous spirit, but what does the headless fly mean?"
Liu Baoqiang called Zhou Xingxing to inform him.
After learning that he was being investigated by the ICAC, Liu Baoqiang suspected that the case he was involved in may have affected the interests of some people, so someone wanted to mess with him.
Recently, he and Zhou Xingxing have been working together. In theory, Zhou Xingxing will also be involved in the cases he is involved in.
The two of them had a close relationship, so he naturally needed to inform the other party in advance to prevent Zhou Xingxing from being confused like he did.
After Zhou Xingxing heard Liu Baoqiang's notice, he immediately inquired about the rumors outside, and soon had a possible suspect. When he came here, he naturally hoped to launch an investigation into the case with Liu Baoqiang immediately. ()
