Chapter 339 Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law join forces to catch 4 people red-handed!
Yao Zhizhi informed Tang Fengyuan over the phone that the investigation team from the capital had already set off.
What Tang Fengyuan and his team have to do is to collect evidence and actively contact more victims and witnesses.
"It would be best if Li Xue went to the Public Security Bureau to report it now, and brought a third-party witness to Li Hua's residence to search for those things and take them away." Yao Zhizhi understood that her mother-in-law did not act rashly because she was afraid of alerting the enemy, but now, there was no need to worry about anything.
However, our country's laws stipulate that when the bribe-taker is not present, the search for evidence must meet two conditions: first, there must be a legal search warrant; second, there must be a third-party witness present, who signs to confirm the search process to prove that those things are indeed the bribe-taker's.
This third-party witness can be a family member, neighbor, colleague, or other witness.
Both conditions are indispensable; otherwise, all physical evidence found will be judged as illegal evidence and excluded from the chain of evidence.
As for the photos taken, the film must be kept safe, especially the correspondence, which all has names on them. In the case of direct physical evidence, the film is of little significance, but it can be disclosed to the newspaper when the police agree to make the case public, so that Li Jing can get first-hand news.
Tang Fengyuan naturally understood this, and since this matter would be taken over by the criminal police, she just needed to take the lead and coordinate and cooperate.
What she was more worried about was, what if Li Hua got wind of it in the province and sneaked away?
Yao Zhizhi comforted him, "That shouldn't happen. Uncle Tao has verified the investigation team members repeatedly and found that none of them have any connection to Li Hua's husband. There's no possibility of them shielding him, and the news won't leak out. So when you go to search for Li Hua's bribes, try to choose officers who are tight-lipped."
Tang Fengyuan hung up the phone and immediately arranged for Li Xue to go to the police station to report the case, while Lao He took Xiao Jin to keep an eye on the area. In case Li Hua came back without knowing, she could be arrested directly.
Tang Fengyuan had discussed this matter with Yang Shuming before. Now that Li Xue took the initiative to sacrifice her own family for the sake of justice, Yang Shuming was quite relieved.
Although Li Xue did this largely to get herself out of trouble, no matter what her motives are, as long as she can contribute to the anti-corruption work, she is a good comrade.
However, this might put Li Xue's personal safety at risk. After much thought, he asked Tang Fengyuan, "Is it still safe for Ding Can and Zhao Maimiao to live there?"
"Sure." Tang Fengyuan understood what Yang Shuming meant. After Li Xue, as a third-party witness, witnessed the entire process of searching for dirty items and signed the document, she packed two sets of clothes and followed Tang Fengyuan to the alley.
Ding Can and Zhao Maimiao are studying hard.
It was Yao Zhizhi who told them not to go out to sell goods this year and to focus on getting into university first.
Unfortunately, the two of them had poor foundations and failed the exam. However, they did not lose heart and are ready to give it another try.
They were both very happy to see a petite young woman coming into the yard. After asking, they found out that this person was a relative of the big boss in the Education Bureau.
It was also this relative who took the initiative to stand up and provide evidence of the parasites infringing on the rights and interests of students.
The two were very excited. One of them held Li Xue's hand and warmly invited Li Xue to join the army of reviewing and preparing for the exam.
"But I don't have much money. I'd better go back to the steel plant to work." Although Li Xue had good grades when she was in school, she had been away from school for several years. It would be extremely difficult for her to pick it up now.
Zhao Maimiao laughed and said, "What's there to be afraid of? Editor-in-Chief Yao only went to junior high school. Of course, I have to admit that she's been preparing for a long time. I saw her doing geometry problems a long time ago. But there's a saying, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, if you don't even dare to think about it, you're a coward! You dared to report your own aunt, and you're afraid of a mere college entrance examination? You don't look like a coward. Don't you have the courage to take such a risk?"
Li Xue subconsciously clenched her fists. Yes, she had even dared to stand up to her aunt who tortured her. What else was she afraid of? Failing the exam wouldn't cost her a single drop of flesh. Studying late and not cooking would not be enough for the books to call her an ungrateful person who only knew how to eat for free.
But, but what about the money?
As if knowing what she was thinking, Ding Can exchanged a glance with Zhao Maimiao and said, "We know you're definitely worried about the money. Don't worry, we're both well-off. Just consider it a loan from you. Pay us back when you graduate and get a good job. If you're embarrassed, you can write an IOU with no repayment date limit. Think about it carefully. You've been to the capital and must have seen a different world. If you don't even have this little ambition, then your trip would have been in vain."
Yes, the capital is different from the provincial capital. Although the provincial capital also has a modern atmosphere, the solemnity and grandeur of the capital are incomparable to ordinary cities.
Moreover, it is really a gathering place for talented people. After all, people without some abilities really cannot get into the school there.
Besides, even if I can’t get into a university in the capital, it would be nice to get into a university in a provincial capital or Yicheng.
Just think about how many tears you shed and how much grievance you swallowed when you were forced to learn tailoring.
Returning to school has always been a taboo that Li Xue buried deep in her heart but dared not touch. She always thought that this would be her life - to be married to a man her aunt would find at random, and then have children and live out her life there.
Life is completely boring.
But now, there are people who are willing to lend her money and study with her, so what is there to hesitate about?
Li Xue happily agreed with tears in her eyes.
When Tang Fengyuan left, he saw three young female comrades gathered together, chattering about how to help Li Xue make a review plan, which was quite touching.
Life is like this. Often, just a slight difference in one thought can lead you to completely opposite paths in life.
Just like Li Xue, if she had not stood up, she would still be controlled by Li Hua and become a puppet with no control over herself.
Li Xue, who was like that, must not have much smile on her face.
And now, Li Xue's smile was so heartfelt and so innocent.
It’s great. The laughter and joy that parents and elders cannot give you can be obtained from your fellow enthusiasts. We support each other and help each other along the way. This is the power of the new generation.
It is also a common characteristic of millions of women - resilience.
Just like a bamboo rooted in rocks, no matter which direction the wind blows, I will face it with a smile and stand tall like a pine tree.

The investigation team was very efficient, and by the time Li Hua realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
Since she came back four days ago, she has not been able to leave the provincial capital.
Firstly, Li Xue's uncle and aunt are very good at making trouble, like a shitty plaster that sticks to them and cannot be shaken off; secondly, Li Xue's uncle has evidence that Li Hua accepted money from the parents of candidates.
The couple demanded that she come to their house to apologize, but she refused to admit that she had said such words.
Unfortunately, the couple didn't believe her and simply stayed at her house.
He ate her food, used her things, and didn't even go to work. Anyway, the couple had already taken personal leave. They had a week to see who would give in first.
Finally, Wang Guoxing was furious and forced Li Hua to apologize. Li Hua was too proud to do so. So Wang Guoxing had to compromise and proposed a settlement plan - to make things easier for the couple's children and let them go to key high schools.
The conditions were quite tempting, and the couple was quite interested. Unfortunately, Li Hua asked for 500 yuan and said that the money was not for her, but for the high school principal.
Li Hua looked at the troubled couple and explained, "If you include my filial piety, it would have to be at least one thousand."
For the sake of their child's future, the couple gritted their teeth and agreed, but after scraping together only 480 yuan, they came to Li Hua with the money to plead for mercy.
Li Hua felt so embarrassed. She had already offered to reduce the amount by half, but the couple wanted to reduce it by another twenty, which she refused to do no matter what.
In desperation, the man had an idea and took off his watch.
Li Hua was very proud. He took the 480 yuan and the 90% new men's mechanical watch, weighed it in his hand, and found it to be in good condition.
I adjusted the time again and tried to adjust the time sensitivity. It was very good, almost like new.
"Then you go back and wait for news. There will be results within three days." Li Hua handed the watch to his daughter-in-law and was about to get up to see them off when the working group arrived.
Also present were leaders from the provincial party committee, leaders from the education and public security departments, as well as the director and workers of the steel plant.
Several co-workers testified that someone in the factory borrowed money from everywhere in an attempt to bribe Li Hua and Wang Guoxing so that their children could attend key high schools.
When the working group saw this, they saw that Li Hua was holding a thick handful of banknotes and a men's watch in his hand. They caught him red-handed!
Li Hua wanted to argue, but the police showed him the search warrant.
It is not enough to just search Yicheng, we also have to capture Li Hua's backer, her husband Wang Guoxing.
Yao Taotao was in class when she suddenly saw two police officers coming to the classroom door. One was the familiar Xiao Meng, a rare female police officer, and the other was a new green guy, less than 1.7 meters tall, thin, but very fond of laughing, and his surname seemed to be Gou.
The reason why Yao Taotao had this impression was that when she was looking for those children, she heard someone calling this little comrade "Brother Gou".
The people's police are all about quality, so it is naturally unlikely that they would call their colleagues "Brother Gou", so the only option is to call them "Brother Gou".
Yao Taotao glanced at Gou in surprise, wondering what had happened when she saw Xiao Meng flashing an arrest warrant. "Is Yu Hongyan here? You're accused of taking exams for others and profiting from it. Please come with us."
Yu Hongyan was dumbfounded. No, this wasn’t right. Didn’t they say that with a powerful backer, nothing would happen?
She was stunned when Gou Ge beside her also showed an arrest warrant: "Is Li Guotai here? You are accused of bribing the leaders and replacing other people's college entrance examination scores. Please come with us."
After the two men reluctantly left the classroom, everyone discovered that the police had also taken away several people from the next class.
There is also one next door.
For a moment, the students ignored even the teacher's scolding and rushed out of the classroom to watch this college entrance examination scandal that was comparable to the Jiangnan Imperial Examination cheating incident.
At the same time, in the teacher's office of the Agricultural College, the landline in front of Xu Wei rang.
He looked at the students being taken away outside the window and thought that what was supposed to happen had finally come.
He picked up the phone and without waiting for the person on the other end to speak, he called out "Mom".
