Following Li Lin's instructions, Zhang Yupei followed Hu Zhiquan from a distance and watched him enter the teahouse.

The words "Chess and Card Room" on the door of the teahouse are very conspicuous...

Zhang Yupei knew that Hu Zhiquan came to play cards.

He reported the situation to Li Lin, who, without hesitation, directly informed the accompanying disciplinary inspection team staff of the clue.

The head of the discipline inspection group is a young cadre in his early thirties, named Lou Cheng.

After hearing this clue, Lou Cheng made a decision after a brief pause and immediately went to the teahouse with two staff members.

Li Lin took two other discipline inspection cadres and went directly to the management office on the top floor of the approval hall.

It was quiet upstairs. The doors of a row of offices were open, but no one was inside.

Where are the people?

Li Lin and the others were very confused.

At this moment, the sounds of smashing cards and cheering attracted their attention.

Li Lin and two discipline inspection cadres followed the sound to the door of the office of the deputy director of the management office.

I turned the doorknob and found that it was locked from the inside.

The people in the house heard the noise and suddenly asked, "Who is it?"

One of the disciplinary inspection cadres said in a deep voice, "Open the door and check the work!"

As soon as the words fell.

Immediately, there was a sound of someone hiding the evidence in the house...

After a moment, the door opened.

Two disciplinary inspection cadres walked in, followed closely by Li Lin.

As soon as they entered the room, the three of them covered their mouths and noses. The room was not ventilated and filled with choking smoke... I don't know how many cigarettes these people smoked in the room.

The disciplinary inspection cadres performed their routine duties, turned on the law enforcement recorder, asked these people's names and positions one by one, and recorded them one by one.

When asked what they were doing together during work hours, several of them hesitantly explained that they were having a small meeting...

Li Lin walked up and picked up an empty cigarette box from the trash can. He looked at the brand and was surprised to see that it cost more than fifty yuan per box. And there was more than one such cigarette box...

Their monthly salary is barely over 3,000 yuan, how can they afford such good cigarettes?

There is no doubt that the source of these cigarettes must be illegal.

After Li Lin's reminder, the two disciplinary inspection cadres began to search for evidence in the house.

Soon, they found two packs of high-end cigarettes, several unopened boxes of tea, and a stack of playing cards...

Seeing these things being searched out, the people in the house suddenly became nervous and lowered their heads guiltily. Not even one person dared to stand up and explain.

“Why do you keep playing cards in your office?”

"And how did you get these expensive cigarettes?"

"Where are the tea leaves?"

Facing questioning from disciplinary inspection cadres.

The people who were playing cards together all looked to the deputy director for help, and seemed to be hinting to the discipline inspection cadres who was the mastermind.

As expected, the two disciplinary inspection cadres immediately turned their attention to the deputy director and asked him, "Is this your office? We will take the things away, and you will go with us to the Commission for Discipline Inspection to explain the situation!"

"Also, please bring out your unit's employee roster and sign-in book. We need to check them one by one..."

"Okay, I'll get it..."

The deputy director took the opportunity to come to the big office and quickly called Hu Zhiquan... He had just said a few words when the discipline inspection cadre followed him in. Seeing that he was secretly making a phone call, he quickly stopped him and said, "Hang up the phone. Who are you tipping off to?"

The deputy director quickly hung up the phone, waved his hand and said, "No, I didn't tip off anyone, it was my family calling..."

The staff roster and the sign-in book were placed on an empty table in the large office. He picked them up and handed them to the discipline inspection cadre, changing the subject and saying, "Leader, this is our roster, please take a look..."

Two disciplinary inspection cadres took out the roster and checked it with the sign-in book, then began to call the roll, writing down the names of employees who were absent from work without the routine leave procedures, in preparation for further investigation and processing.

Li Lin was not familiar with the disciplinary inspection procedures. He simply asked the deputy director, "Where is your director Hu Zhiquan?"

The deputy director remembered what Hu Zhiquan had said before he left, so he said, "Oh, our Director Hu went to the hospital for a physical examination..."

"Oh? Where are the leave application procedures?" Li Lin asked with a smile, because he already knew for sure that Hu Zhiquan was playing mahjong in the teahouse at that moment.

Leave application procedure?

The deputy director frowned in confusion. In his impression, the head of a unit doesn't need to write a note for leave when he goes out, right?

Hu Zhiquan is the head of the unit. Who does he ask for leave from? Who approves his leave application? It seems that no one in the unit has the qualifications to do so?

The deputy director said vaguely, "This leader... Director Hu shouldn't need to write a note when he goes out, right? Only when he is away for a long time does he need to ask for leave from the county leader in charge..."

Li Lin smiled and asked the discipline inspection cadres who were accompanying him, "Comrades, do the top leaders of the unit need to go through routine leave procedures when they go out? Do they need to sign in as usual like other employees when they go to work?"

The two discipline inspection cadres nodded and said affirmatively, "According to regulations, when the top leader goes out, he must at least fill out a travel record form and submit it to the unit office, and he must sign in at work on a daily basis."

Li Lin put his hands behind his back, looked at the deputy director, and said, "Do you understand now? Do you still think that being a leader gives you privileges? I'll ask you one last time, where is your director Hu Zhiquan? Call him now and tell him that Li Lin is looking for him, and ask him to come back as soon as possible."

Can he come back? Li Lin knew that Lou Cheng had already brought people to catch him and was probably blocking him outside the door.

The reason why I asked someone to notify him was to let Hu Zhiquan know clearly that if I, Li Lin, want to deal with you, I will do it openly and honestly!

The deputy director was shocked when he heard Li Lin's name. He could never have imagined that the deputy county chief would personally bring people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection to check their posts...

Suddenly, his face turned pale, knowing the seriousness of the matter. He just hoped that Hu Zhiquan really went for a physical examination... Looking at the serious expression of Deputy County Magistrate Li, he was afraid that he would not let Hu Zhiquan pass easily...

"Deputy County Magistrate Li...Excuse my poor eyesight, I failed to recognize you. Please follow me and sit in Director Hu's office for a while. I'll go make you some tea..."

The deputy director was instantly panicked. He hurriedly found the key to Hu Zhiquan's office, opened the door, and asked Li Lin and others to wait inside.

He remembered that the place where Hu Zhiquan often played cards was not far from the office. He had just called him and he should be back soon.

"Okay, let's sit here and wait for Director Hu for a while."

Li Lin raised his hand to look at his watch and thought, Lou Cheng and the others should have met Hu Zhiquan by now. He wondered what kind of expression Hu Zhiquan would have when he was playing cards and suddenly saw the staff from the Discipline Inspection Commission arrive.
