Officialdom: After My Demotion, My Powerful Background Was Exposed

When his superior retired, Li Lin, as his secretary, was implicated and demoted to an indefinite secondment as deputy township head in a remote rural town.

With no backing, Li Lin's polit...

Chapter 686 The old fox shows up.

Liu Changshuo sat in the detention center of Shannan County like a walking corpse.

Two policemen, Li Lin and Wu Xiongfei, sat opposite him and looked at him quietly.

Li Lin said, "Liu Changshuo, do you understand? No one can save you!"

Wu Xiongfei said, "Liu Changshuo, don't be so lucky! The person sitting in front of you is a special commissioner from the Provincial Public Security Department. Even the Municipal Bureau has no right to interfere in your case!"

The room was extremely quiet, with only the sound of breathing and the ability to hear a pin drop being audible.

Liu Changshuo stared with horror and swallowed nervously...

"Provincial Department...Commissioner?"

He did not expect that Li Lin had this identity. He always thought that Li Lin was just a cadre with a little background. Compared with Tu Ming, his power and status were far different!

At this moment, he was disheartened...If Li Lin could bring him back from the Municipal Bureau's detention center, then he would be able to withstand all the pressure and send him to court for trial!

Li Lin said, "Liu Changshuo... I have seen many people like you... You are the ones who do the dirty work for the rich and powerful, right? Do you know how many people like you I have dealt with? I believe that the people behind them are more prestigious and powerful than the people behind you... If you can readily reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, it will be considered as your surrender! Maybe you will still have a chance to walk out of prison."

Wu Xiongfei said, "Based on your current crimes, it is not a capital crime. If you have made meritorious contributions, you can be released after a few years in prison. But if you resist the interrogation... we will deal with you in the maximum penalty, and I don't know how long you will be in prison. Secretary Li is personally interrogating you to give you a chance, I hope you can seize it."

Liu Changshuo laughed bitterly and said, "My crimes are enough to sentence me to death. I am not afraid of death. I am only afraid that after I die, my wife and children... will have no one to take care of them..."

Li Lin and Wu Xiongfei looked at each other and immediately understood the hidden meaning of Liu Changshuo's words. He was not worried that no one would take care of his wife and children, but he must be worried that his family would be retaliated against.

Li Lin said, "I will report your situation to the provincial department leaders and ask them to send someone to protect your family. Don't worry, with our police here, no one will dare to harm your family. Can you speak now?"

Liu Changshuo raised his head and glanced at Li Lin and Wu Xiongfei's faces, hesitating. Under the current circumstances, Tu Ming must have given up on him. According to Tu Ming's ruthless style, he would definitely not let Liu Changshuo live. Secondly, Tu Ming was suspicious by nature, and he would definitely send people to Liu Changshuo's house to clean up all traces of him... As for how he would treat Liu Changshuo's family, it was really hard to predict.

Now Liu Changshuo has no choice but to trust Li Lin and believe that the police will protect his family from Tu Ming's harassment.

Liu Changshuo said, "I can only tell you."

This is against the rules.

But fortunately the whole process was recorded.

Liu Changshuo didn't dare to trust anyone except Li Lin.

Li Lin thought for a moment and asked Wu Xiongfei to take his men out of the interrogation room.

Li Lin asked, "Who is the person behind you?"

Liu Changshuo said, "The deputy secretary of the provincial party committee is Tu Ming."

Li Lin asked again, "What is his purpose?"

Liu Changshuo said, "You have the black book that records his crimes."

It is true.

But Li Lin never expected that the first person to snatch the notebook from his hand was Deputy Secretary Tu, whose records were incomplete. When Li Lin checked the notebook for the first time, he found that there were a few pages missing from the records of Tu Ming's crimes, as if they had been torn off by someone...

Li Lin was still very confused. Most of the records about Tu Ming were missing from the notebook. The remaining contents were just some contents about accepting bribes from subordinates... Why was he so impatient?

...

provincial capital.

Tu Ming supported his head with one hand, and the hand holding the cigarette was shaking slightly.

In front and behind him stood four men in black, serious-looking and waiting for orders.

After a long while, Tu Ming put out the cigarette in his hand, and seemed to have made up his mind. He asked, "How is Chu Yao?"

The subordinate said, "He has been discharged from the hospital and his whereabouts are unknown. He seems to be hiding."

Tu Ming said, "Find her and shut her up!"

The subordinate said, "Yes, our people are looking for her whereabouts."

Tu Ming said, "Liu Changshuo is in trouble this time! No matter what I do, it seems like a punch on cotton, and the force is lost... I can't use my strength now... He is now detained in Shannan County Detention Center, and I am worried that he will betray me... Do you know what to do?"

The subordinate said, "I understand. I will bribe the guards of Shannan Detention Center and make Liu Changshuo unable to speak again!"

Tu Ming nodded in satisfaction and continued, "The book is still in Li Lin's hands... He dare not hand it over. I guess he is not sure whether the contents of the book are true or false. On the other hand, he is afraid that if he hands the book over, he will become the public enemy of the entire Han River! After all, there are many cadres recorded in the book... Even if I get this book, I would rather burn it than keep it in my hands... How can one person fight so many people!"

The subordinate interrupted and asked, "Since Li Lin doesn't have the guts, should we just ignore him?"

Tu Ming glanced at his subordinate coldly and said, "What do you know! The notebook is always a hidden danger in his hands! Have you forgotten that Chu Yao used the notebook to threaten me? I don't want to be threatened again, and I don't want to have a bomb buried under my feet all the time..."

The subordinate asked cautiously, "Then...what should we do? It's not realistic to kill him...after all, he is a provincial cadre, and he has so many backers behind him. If he dies, they will definitely find out about us."
