Chapter 112: Woodworms (1)
A week later, Sun Liang interrogated his "cousin" Shi Junsheng again and questioned him about the bribes he accepted from Lina and Yongwu.
According to Shi Junsheng's confession, in the few years since he met Lina, he has received hundreds of thousands of yuan in bribes and thank-you money...
Sun Liang also found out from the relevant document approvals of the Foreign Trade Office that Shi Junsheng had given Lina the green light and had done some illegal things.
The first step of the investigation went smoothly.
In the second step, Sun Liang brought the criminal police to the customs in Huacheng.
Customs is a key agency responsible for the supervision and management of inbound and outbound goods. It is organized into three tiers: the General Administration of Customs; dozens of directly affiliated customs offices; and hundreds of subordinate customs offices. Each of these tiers oversees and inspects a vast array of inbound and outbound transport vehicles, cargo, luggage, mail items, and other articles, while also collecting customs duties and other taxes and fees in accordance with relevant regulations.
Because this is an important checkpoint for import and export goods, the work attitude of customs officials is particularly important. If customs officials abuse their power for personal gain or commit fraud, it will cause losses to the interests of the country.
When Sun Liang led the criminal police to the relevant customs department, the staff actually:
"Our section chief, deputy section chief, and five or six other staff members were arrested a month ago."
"What's the matter?" Sun Liang asked.
"It's collective bribery." This staff member was a newcomer who had just started working for a few days. When asked further, he knew nothing.
Back at the Criminal Investigation Bureau, Sun Liang reported the basic situation to Li Li, hoping that the director could help contact the relevant units so that they could meet with the arrested section chief...
Two days later, Director Li told Sun Liang:
"After contacting the procuratorate, they are currently being held in the detention center. You should go there tomorrow with a certificate from the Criminal Investigation Bureau. They and I are urgently investigating the case."
"That's great, thank you Director Li." Sun Liang was very excited.
The next day, Sun Liang drove to the detention center in the suburbs with his original team.
Along the way, everyone was filled with emotion.
"Captain Sun, how come we are so lucky? Whoever we want to interrogate is arrested in advance. It really saves us a lot of effort." Shi said proudly.
"Yes. Ming's anti-corruption work has penetrated into every corner! If the section chief of the customs commits a crime, he will also be arrested." Sun Liang.
This incident really made Sun Liang overjoyed.
According to normal procedures, if this group of parasites had not been arrested and were still working in their posts, then questioning them would not be as smooth as it is now. Think about it, they still think they are state officials, why should they accept questioning from you, a criminal police officer? They can completely deny it and not admit it as long as you don't have solid evidence! Now it's different. The facts of their crimes are clear anyway, the only difference is whether they received more or less bribes. Therefore, if these people are interrogated again now, their attitude will definitely be much more honest! Thinking of this, Sun Liang grinned.
As I entered the detention center, I immediately felt a different atmosphere. It was completely different from the sunny spring outside.
The head of the detention center warmly received Sun Liang and his party and led them to an interrogation room.
Just as they sat down, the door of the interrogation room opened and a middle-aged man in a white shirt and blue pants walked in...
