It is raining lightly in Shanghai, and the dry and cold air is blended with fresh moisture. Shanghai Palace International Conference Hotel, an international academic seminar on military security issues is being held here, including the host China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France
Representatives from 11 countries participated in the meeting, plus observers sent by the United Nations and international non-governmental organizations. There were many people attending the meeting. Security around the hotel was tightened. Most of the people entering and leaving the hotel were journalists from various countries.
Zhang Zhicheng is not a soldier or a military expert. He is the director of an office of an agency affiliated to the Ministry of National Security and attended the meeting as a member of the Chinese representative.
The morning meeting lasted until nearly 1 noon, and participants from various countries left the venue one after another. Most of the representatives went back to their rooms first, preparing to go to the restaurant for lunch. Zhang Zhicheng came out with a dozen Chinese representatives and took the elevator upstairs together.
When he got out of the elevator and turned into the corridor, he found Secretary Zhou standing in his room waiting.
Zhang Zhicheng is in his 40s, with a square face, medium build, jet black hair mixed with a little white hair, eyebrows swollen. After waiting, Secretary Zhou said: "Call me from Beijing. There's something going on."
Zhang Zhicheng opened the door and entered the house. He went to the bathroom first, then came out and asked: "What's the matter?"
Secretary Zhou said: "New York's "World Democratic Alliance Weekly" published a news that Ye Zinong, who lives in Berlin, was appointed as the political director of the German World Democratic Alliance. The alliance is an old enemy. This incident has political implications. The above instructions should pay attention to it.
It’s up to you to take care of it.”
Zhang Zhicheng asked: "Who is Ye Ye Nong?"
Secretary Zhou said: "He is the son of the late General Ye Hui."
Zhang Zhicheng understood, nodded, then took his thick coat and woolen scarf and said, "Go down and talk, the Shanghai Bureau's car is waiting below."
As soon as I went out, I met several Chinese representatives who were going to the restaurant. The temperature in the hotel was very suitable. If you don't go outside, you don't need thick coats and scarves. It looked like going out. There were Chinese groups attending the meeting.
It is stipulated that you are not allowed to leave the team without authorization during the meeting. If you have something to do, you must ask for leave in advance and you can only leave the team with the consent of the team leader.
A naval officer casually greeted: "Come out."
Another Army Major General was very familiar with Zhang Zhicheng and said with a smile: "Hey, why do you want to leave the army without permission?"
Zhang Zhicheng smiled and said: "Where, where is the special approval?"
An old general next to him was the team leader and said: "Zhicheng is from the Shanghai Bureau. Let him have a meal with his parents' family."
There were people coming and going all the way downstairs, so we couldn't talk about work. Zhang Zhicheng also took advantage of the time when he went downstairs to think about how to arrange work in Beijing. He knew nothing about this person named "Ye Zhi Nong"
, but I have still heard of General Ye Hui’s name, and I often see him in war-themed movies and TV dramas.
Light rain and snow were still falling outside, and the Shanghai National Security Bureau car had parked in front of the hotel. When the people in the car saw Zhang Zhicheng approaching, they got out of the car and went to meet him. Zhang Zhicheng said something to him, and the man came back
In the car, Zhang Zhicheng went to a deserted place in the hotel lobby to explain his work to Secretary Zhou.
Zhang Zhicheng said: "You call Director Qin back. First, this is an urgent matter, so we need to do it quickly. Second, we must first feel the situation from the outside. The channels must be reliable. Don't approach rashly. We can understand the context before talking about the situation."
If you don't understand, you will make a lot of noise. Once something is inappropriate, it will be hard to deal with. Third, find a few candidates who are political experts. If there are no special circumstances, the normal solution is to choose a suitable person and talk to him in a suitable way.
Just be reasonable and do what we should do. If my mother really wants to get married, no one can stop her. This work needs to be done first, and we must be prepared first."
Secretary Zhou said: "I understand, I'll do it right away."
Zhang Zhicheng said: "Tell Lao Qin that we will have a meeting in the afternoon the day after tomorrow."
Secretary Zhou reminded: "The seminar will end in the morning the day after tomorrow, and there will be activities and a farewell dinner after the meeting."
Zhang Zhicheng said: "I will not attend the event or dinner. I will return to Beijing as soon as the seminar is over."
Secretary Zhou said: "Okay, I'll take care of the air tickets."
After Zhang Zhicheng handed over his work, he went out and got in the car and left.
As soon as the international academic seminar on military security issues in Shanghai ended, Zhang Zhicheng rushed back to Beijing.
The temperature in Beijing is much lower than that in Shanghai. The cold north wind blows like needle pricks on the face, and scattered fine snowflakes fly in the gray sky. Director Qin, Director Jiao and Zhang Zhicheng’s driver came to pick up the plane.
Four security guards were waiting in the lobby. When they saw Zhang Zhicheng and Secretary Zhou coming out, everyone went to greet them.
Director Qin is also in his 40s, looks older than Zhang Zhicheng, and already has a lot of gray hair. Director Jiao is in his early teens, with a pair of glasses on his square face, capable but steady. The driver and security guard
They are younger. Although they are all wearing civilian clothes, it is not difficult to tell that they are all soldiers from their demeanor and eyes.
Director Qin said: "Let's take a car with Xiao Jiao, and Secretary Zhou will take a car with them."
After leaving the hall, Zhang Zhicheng got in the car and said with a smile: "Formalism."
Director Qin asked: "What's going on?"
Zhang Zhicheng said: "When I said there was an urgent need, you didn't even miss the time on the road."
Director Qin smiled and said, "Look, it's subjective, isn't it? When we meet, it doesn't matter where we meet. If you are stuck in a traffic jam, it will be easier for you to chat about something."
Officer Jiao started the car and explained: "Director, you may have misunderstood Director Qin. Based on the information we have, Director Qin estimates that you will go to the Criminal Investigation Bureau. I am afraid that you will not have enough time and they will get off work if you arrive late."
Zhang Zhicheng asked Director Qin and said, "Yes, Ye Zi Nong is suspected of a serious smuggling crime. The Hongchuan police opened the case a few months ago. We found from the immigration management records of Beijing Airport that Ye Zi Nong has been involved in illegal immigration in recent months.
I made two immigration records, each time I went to Hongchuan. I stayed in Hongchuan for nearly two months, and I did a business of using labor export to disguise immigration. I was reported. Ye Zi Nong’s living circle is very small, almost
I don’t have many friends, but this case involves a lot of people.”
Director Qin said and handed the investigation materials to Zhang Zhicheng. The investigation materials came from the Hongchuan Public Security Bureau, the Immigration Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, the Chinese Embassy in Germany, the Chinese Consulate General in New York, the police station where Ye Zi Nong’s household registration is located, and Yanxiu, Shaanxi
The village committee where Zi Nong went to the countryside, the Huangpu University of Political Science and Law, the Sixth Patriarch Buddhist College... One of the investigation materials was Fang Di's document investigating Zi Nong, which was faxed from the original.
While Zhang Zhicheng was reading the materials, no one in the car spoke, and the car kept driving toward the city. After about a few minutes, Zhang Zhicheng read the materials in detail and in detail.
Director Qin took out a small notepad, opened it and said: "The Berlin line ends at Qian Jinghui, the rotating chairman of the German Overseas Chinese Joint Chamber of Commerce, the New York line ends at Xu Yafu, the chairman of the New York Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Hongchuan
The first line ends at the Criminal Investigation Division of the Hongchuan Public Security Bureau, and in Beijing it ends at the neighborhood committee where Ye Zi farmers are located. The investigation is all limited to the periphery, including Lin Xuehong, Murong Jiu, Fang Di, Xu Hong, Shen Biao, and Huang Shuning from Hongchuan in New York.
Yu Qiwei, as well as Dai Mengyan and Liang Shiqiao from the entertainment industry, these people who have recently been related to Ye Zi Nong have not touched me."
Zhang Zhicheng said: "This guy is brave enough to take out more than a hundred people at a time. And that Fang Di dares to rely on General Fang's influence to use administrative resources to conduct investigations, and is not afraid of giving trouble to her father."
Director Qin said: "Except for Murong Jiu, no one in New York knew that the investigation report was made by Fang Di. We also found out from Beijing based on clues. This is how I see it. Over in New York, it was provided by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
I think the situation is credible, and has been confirmed by information from other channels. Murong Jiu has no political background, and his contact with Ye Zi Nong is purely out of consideration for the noodle shop business, while Fang Di is only helping Murong Jiu, and has nothing to do with Ye Zi
It has nothing to do with Ye Zi Nong, this line can be eliminated. Dai Mengyan and Lin Xuehong are on the same line, which can also be ruled out. Then the remaining line is Brandi's line. According to Xu Yafu, Brandy paid attention to Ye Zi Nong in Berlin, so Fang
I am also very interested in Dee’s investigation report, and it is likely to be related to Brandi, at least indirectly. If this is also ruled out, it can only mean that the leaf farmers and the ruler alliance have been deliberate for a long time.”
Zhang Zhicheng said: "It has been deliberate for a long time...it doesn't look like this person looks like a politician."
Director Jiao said: "The possibility of Brandi is even greater. He made a special trip to visit the leaf farmers before leaving Berlin, and Fang Di's investigation report played a decisive role."
Zhang Zhicheng shook his head and said: "Fang Di's investigation report is nothing new, it just serves as confirmation.
Director Qin said: "Political experts found two people, one is the political counselor of the embassy in Germany, and the other is the deputy secretary-general of the China-Germany People's Friendship Association office in Germany. They are both in Berlin, but it is actually unrealistic to talk to Ye Zinong.
I have sorted out the situation compiled by various sources, and I think the focus is on Ye Zi Nong’s suspicion of a serious smuggling crime."
After the car entered the city, there started to be a traffic jam, and we stopped and stopped. As Director Qin said, it was really much better to talk about something, and I didn't feel so irritable anymore.
Director Qin said: "The Hongchuan police have several possibilities regarding Ye Zinong's issue. One is that the evidence is insufficient and the case is withdrawn; the other is that the evidence is sufficient and an arrest warrant is issued; the third is that the facts are unclear and Ye Zinong is summoned to come to the case to explain.
The problem is that this is a shelved case. If you don’t open the case, you can’t do it. If you open the case but it can’t be investigated, you don’t know when he will investigate it again. Under such circumstances, it is obviously extremely inappropriate to talk to Ye Zinong. Talk.
Well, does that mean we don’t need to investigate him for suspected crimes? No, we still need to investigate, whether the negotiation is successful or not. So what are we most afraid of? What we are most afraid of is that if you go to talk in the first place, the police will summon you later.
, you cannot interfere with the Hongchuan police's handling of the case, but this matter is indeed related, which means that whether it is good or bad, it is political persecution. You can't explain clearly with all your words, and the political impact will be more serious than the ministerial incident.
"There was a traffic jam at the moment. Director Jiao turned around and said, "The Hongchuan case has been shelved. It cannot be ruled out that there is an element of local interest protection, but it is not the main reason. In fact, the cadres involved want to investigate. There is no conclusion.
The Hongchuan police are also in a dilemma. Are they protecting the economy? Or are they ignoring crimes? They are not sure. The export of labor is a new thing. There is indeed no provision in the law prohibiting household relocation, but this matter is indeed not in line with the norm. This touch
Crossing the river with stones, I don’t know what to do. Transnational labor is not a problem for the Hongchuan family. The Hongchuan police just want to delay it and see the results and policy trends.”
Director Qin said: "I think it is necessary to coordinate with the Hongchuan police. If you want to summon, then summon, if you want to withdraw the case, withdraw the case. If you are not sure, you can also seek judicial explanation from the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Supreme People's Court. In fact, it is not that serious, and it is not that serious.
It's complicated. As long as it's not prohibited by the criminal law, you can't be convicted. They all know this in their hearts. As long as someone reports it, the police have to accept it. This process cannot be ignored. This case cannot be delayed any longer. If it is delayed, it will be blocked.
The truth is gone."
The car drove off again, but at a very slow speed. Officer Jiao said: "Talk first and then spread the word. It is easy to be misunderstood by society, and it will definitely be exaggerated into political persecution by anti-China forces."
Director Qin said: "Under the current situation, the police choose a criminal summons as the most appropriate. They do not say whether he is guilty or not, but just summon him to the case to explain the situation. If Ye Zinong refuses to return to the country to answer the question, it is resisting the law. If necessary, he can be summoned
Extradition through diplomatic channels. If he returns to the country to answer trial, then he will be convicted if he is guilty, and he will be negotiated if he is not guilty, or he can be restricted from leaving the country."
Director Jiao said: "The summons precedes the conversation, and the order is reasonable. The criminal summons at least shows that "the alliance has appointed criminal suspects involved in a particularly serious smuggling case, which is beneficial and harmless to reducing negative political influence."
The car encountered a traffic jam, a red light, and stopped. Zhang Zhicheng listened and thought, and it passed like this for a long time. When he was only a few kilometers away from the government office building, he said: "Find a place to park in front.
Xiao Jiao went back with them, and Lao Qin followed me to the Criminal Investigation Bureau."
Director Jiao replied: "Understood."
Director Qin said: "Okay, I'll drive."
Director Jiao drove off the main road, turned into a narrow side street, and found an opening to stop the car. Seeing this, the car behind him also stopped. Director Qin walked to the car behind and told Secretary Zhou
After saying a few words, he came back and sat in the driver's seat. Zhang Zhicheng also got out of the back seat and sat in the front passenger seat. Then, the two cars drove away according to their respective routes.
Director Qin turned the steering wheel and said with a smile: "Well, this is not formalism, right?"
Zhang Zhicheng smiled, and then said in confusion: "This leaf farmer...why do I feel so strange? Why did it happen suddenly without any warning? It was so sudden."
Director Qin said: "I've thought about this too, but!" The alliance's announcement must always be true. Because Murong Jiu stayed with Ye Zi Nong in Hongchuan for a month, I thought about finding out more about it from Fang Di.
But people like Murong Jiu don’t care about politics at all. If Ye Zi Nong has any political moves, he will never let Murong Jiu know about it, and there is no such basis between them."
Zhang Zhicheng said: "I read this paragraph. In the future, the criminal law will add the crime of fraudulently obtaining exit documents, but it has not been added yet. As long as the export of labor is a fact, there will be no legal problems whether you confront him or sell him out. Although this guy is very good, but
He still has a sense of proportion. Another question is, if he is politically interested, will he take the risk of being suspected of committing a crime for the Luo family's affairs? Just give him a few dollars to show off, it is both safe and decent."
Director Qin said: "Tell him. Whether he dares to come back may be the dividing line between authenticity and authenticity." (To be continued)
