Soon, a group of people arrived at the Guzhen Police Station. After all, according to the procedure, since everyone has called the police, the police comrades must understand the corresponding situation before further processing.
The situation has reached a point where the police need to be called, and the matter quickly spreads in a small area. After all, Gu Town is only such a big place.
When Xu Hui's parents learned of the situation, they rushed to the police station without stopping. Even Zhou Dongsheng's old mother Liu Huaiying was no exception. After receiving the news, she rushed here at the same time.
For Zhou Dongsheng and Zhang Xuhui, the police station was no stranger to them. This was their second time here, and Zhang Xuhui was the "protagonist" both times.
After the police comrades had a general understanding of the situation, they brought all the relevant persons to the mediation room for further communication. After all, the crime was still not criminal enough to warrant individual interrogation or detention.
In the mediation room, Zhou Dongsheng and Li Jiana sat on one side of the table, and on the other side were Zhang Xuhui and his uncle.
"Comrade police, the situation is like this. Even if my nephew is at fault first, this person's background is definitely not clean. I know their family conditions. How can they get 1 million in cash for an orphan and a widowed mother?
Start a business!"
Uncle Xu Hui proudly showed off his "reasoning" to the police comrades, as if he had obtained evidence of Zhou Dongsheng's "crime".
Zhou Dongsheng didn't panic at all. He watched Uncle Xuhui give full play to the matter. It was indeed beyond Zhou Dongsheng's expectation that he brought this matter to the police station.
But now that we have come, Zhou Dongsheng is not a person who is afraid of trouble. The main thing is that we are upright and are not afraid of our shadows being distorted. The money has come cleanly. What should Zhou Dongsheng be afraid of?
That’s where it comes from, I’m really a bit “ashamed to talk about it”…
Zhang Xuhui was a little on pins and needles, absent-minded, thinking about one question in his mind: Will he go to jail?
By this time, parents from both sides had also arrived at the scene, respectively concerned about their sons' condition.
"Mom, I'm fine, why did I disturb your old man?" Zhou Dongsheng said easily.
"You also said that employees in the company called me and said that you were taken to the police station. I thought something big had happened!" Liu Huaiying sat next to Zhou Dongsheng angrily.
After Xuhui's parents were concerned about the situation, they looked at this side with unflattering eyes, which seemed to convey a sense of shared hatred.
"Okay, now that both parents are here, I'll give you an overview of the situation..." the policeman said in a business-like manner.
The situation is simple to say. One party has facts of corruption, while the other party has unidentified sources of funds. The former has solid evidence, while the latter is just a wildly speculative inference.
However, since the police have been called, the procedures that need to be followed still need to be followed.
After the police explained the situation, both parties looked at each other with different thoughts.
Zhou Dongsheng spoke slowly and slowly, "This matter was originally a matter between Xu Hui and I. After all, the company is a partnership between the two of us. Considering our friendship as classmates, I don't want to pursue Xu Hui."
Responsibility for corruption.”
"But today, Uncle Xuhui made things so ugly and even called the police. So here at the police station, we have to talk about this matter. At least I can't swallow this.
."
"Let's not talk about where my money comes from. It is certain that Xuhui abused his power and used his power for personal gain. If he were to be held accountable, just one crime of embezzlement of office would be enough for Xuhui to spend several years in prison.
If you don’t believe it, you can ask your comrades in the police.”
The police comrade responsible for following up nodded and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "If the amount of corruption in a private enterprise reaches more than 5,000 yuan, it will be prosecuted and sentenced according to the crime of job embezzlement.
The specific standard is based on Article 271 of the "Criminal Law" [Crime of Embezzlement by Office]. Personnel of a company, enterprise or other unit who takes advantage of their position to illegally appropriate the unit's property for themselves, and if the amount is relatively large,
Sentence to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years..."
The expressions of Xuhui's parents could not help but change. Only then did they realize what kind of mistake their son had made. After all, similar things were not unheard of in the three-acre land of Gu Town.
Although Gu Town has benefited from the spring breeze of reform and the economy has developed rapidly during the industrialization process, although the economy has developed, the vast majority of people have little knowledge of the law and have a weak legal concept.
This situation itself is also an objective fact in rural areas, and in the rural areas of Chaoshan and Shantou, the clan concept is particularly strong.
Often, matters are discussed based on human nature, and there is rarely a situation that requires calling the police or legal intervention. Therefore, everyone's understanding of the law is even more limited.
Uncle Xuhui seemed to have realized the seriousness of the matter. If his nephew was imprisoned because of himself, how could his sister and brother-in-law get around him?
However, Uncle Xuhui still insisted: "Even so, how do you explain your 1 million from unknown sources? I don't believe that your poor family with orphans and widowed mother can come up with so much money..."
Uncle Xu Hui really carried out the word "chaotic" and insisted on sticking to this point, but this problem was indeed difficult to ignore, even Liu Huaiying was a little curious.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng and Zhang Xuhui had a business partnership before, and the business was booming. Not only did they build a house for their family, they even bought a car.
As a mother, Liu Huaiying was very pleased to see her son succeed in his career, and did not interfere too much in business matters. After all, she could not help much.
Before today, Liu Huaiying thought that Zhang Xuhui contributed more money and effort to this partnership business. Unexpectedly, it was his son who "hidden it secretly" and paid out 1 million.
Curiosity is curiosity, after all, he is his son, so he can ask this matter in private, and Uncle Xu Hui's words were so unpleasant, Liu Huaiying was naturally not happy.
"What's wrong with the orphans and widowed mothers? Why can't we pay for this money? You are useless as a man, so you think others are just as useless as you?" Liu Huaiying said with a slightly tough protector.
After all, in rural areas in the 1990s, how could Liu Huaiying, who dared to initiate divorce and drag Zhou Dongsheng up despite rumors and rumors, be a weak woman?
It perfectly demonstrates the saying, "Women are inherently weak, but mothers are strong."
Zhou Dongsheng held down his old mother and comforted him: "Mom, don't get angry with this kind of person, let me do it."
Then he turned to the police comrades and said: "There is no need to report to others about my personal income."
The police comrade nodded and said tactfully: "Of course, this is your personal privacy. If you are not a public official, you do not need to explain the source of your personal property. We will only handle it according to the police procedures.
Of course, it would be better if you are willing to give a little explanation, which can help us solve this matter faster..."
At this time, everyone's eyes were also focused on Zhou Dongsheng, although Zhou Dongsheng did not need to explain.
But now that the matter has come to this, Zhou Dongsheng no longer wants to hide it. Although it is possible to protect himself by keeping his wealth secret, sometimes showing a little muscle appropriately is also a way to protect himself.
After all, there will only be more and more things that require you to reveal your wealth in the future, and you won’t be able to hide anything.
And this matter has now reached the point where it will affect his family. Even for the sake of reassuring his old mother, Zhou Dongsheng is prepared to make it clear.
After all, this money is clean and legitimate tax income, what’s not to say?
Zhou Dongsheng coughed and said seriously: "Well, since the police comrades have said so, I must be actively cooperating. In fact, I got this money from winning the lottery."
