Diao Xuemin thought that if his father-in-law was outside, he could at least help him out, and maybe his life in prison would not be so hard.
But if everyone is implicated, Diao Xuemin doesn’t know what else he can hope for?
“I forgot to mention that there are people guarding your parents’ house.” Shen Weidong continued to add to the pressure.
Diao Xuemin held the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands. His fingernails were already cracked from pressing hard, but he still did not let go. His mouth was full of the taste of blood.
After a while, Diao Xuemin finally spoke, "It was me. I did it alone. It has nothing to do with my family."
As soon as Diao Xuemin closed his eyes, he was finished.
Shen Weidong began the interrogation, and the clerk took notes quickly.
The interrogation ended two hours later.
Diao Xuemin confessed how he embezzled money and abused his power to transport materials from the steel plant and resell them.
After Shen Weidong asked him to sign, he sent him directly to the detention room for custody, and arranged two public security comrades in the detention room to watch him, for fear that Diao Xuemin would commit suicide.
After all, he is a key figure in this major case and cannot be allowed to die.
Shen Weidong followed Diao Xuemin's instructions and went to arrest people.
The superiors of the steel plant were also pulled out of their beds.
The county leaders immediately reported the matter to the city, which in turn reported it to the province. The province then directly arranged for an investigation team to be sent to the steel plant to investigate the matter.
All people related to Diao Xuemin are not allowed to participate in this, including Diao Xuemin's brother-in-law. Although he works in the provincial government, he is only a clerk.
Because Diao Xuemin's case was of such serious importance, his brother-in-law was directly detained in the Provincial Public Security Bureau and was forbidden from going out or contacting his family.
Of course, at the same time, his brother-in-law's home was also monitored by the public security comrades.
Shen Weidong did not fail to search the homes of Diao Xuemin's father-in-law and parents as he had promised.
The police had conducted a large search of both their homes and successfully found a large amount of property, which was far more than they could obtain with their salaries.
All members of the Diao family and the Zheng family were taken to the public security bureau for interrogation.
When the sun rose, the investigation team entered the steel plant.
Everyone knows something happened, but what exactly happened?
No one can explain it clearly.
They knew that Diao Xuemin was arrested by the police early in the morning.
The sound of Diao Xuemin's wife cursing in the house could be heard from far away.
Many people also saw the scene of Diao Xuemin being escorted out, and this scene shocked everyone.
"What's going on? Was he the high-ranking deputy director yesterday? Why was he arrested today?"
"Who says it's not?"
"Do you know? I heard that Deputy Director Diao deliberately made things difficult for our new Secretary Xia yesterday. He was arrested early this morning. Do you think it could be... Secretary Xia?"
"Stop talking now."
Everyone hurriedly covered the man's mouth. This was extremely terrifying when you think about it carefully.
Because he provoked Secretary Xia, he was investigated by the police early on, and the Diao family and the Zheng family were also investigated. This Secretary Xia is really not an ordinary person.
Everyone only dared to discuss it privately with people they were close to, and no one dared to talk about it openly.
Even Jiang Caifeng, who knew that something had happened in Diao Xuemin's family, did not dare to tell her uncle about it. This matter was too big.
They didn't dare to think that Secretary Xia was smiling in the face of Deputy Director Diao's difficulties, and she didn't get angry. She worked overtime and did what she had to do.
As a result, Deputy Director Diao was arrested the next day. This is simply terrible!
Zhou Lianda and Jiang Caifeng both thought carefully about whether they had said anything excessive during the few days they had been in contact with Xia Weian.
If they accidentally offended Xia Weian, would they be able to keep their jobs and would their families be implicated?
The two were so nervous that they didn't even dare to speak.
Until Xia Weian returned to the office and greeted them both with a smile.
"Secretary Xia, good morning."
"Good morning, Secretary Zhou. I need to take two hours off this afternoon. The factory director is not here. Can I ask you for leave?" Xia Weian asked.
"Sure, go and do whatever you need, don't rush back." Zhou Lianda said hurriedly.
He is the person in charge of the office, and both Jiang Caifeng and Xia Weian can ask him for leave.
"Thank you. I worked overtime last night and wanted to catch up on some sleep when I got home at noon." Xia Weian explained.
"It's my duty." Zhou Lianda was obviously a little nervous.
Xia Weian smiled at him and didn't say much. There were some things that no one would believe even if he told them.
We will know once Diao Xuemin’s case is dealt with and the steel plant makes the announcement.
Xia Weian sat in his chair somewhat tiredly.
"Brother Xia, I'll pour you a glass of water. If you're sleepy, take a nap. There's no one else in this office." Jiang Caifeng said.
"Thank you, Secretary Jiang."
"You're welcome." Jiang Caifeng responded quickly, ran over to pour a cup of hot water for Xia Weian, and returned to her seat to deal with her work.
She decided that starting today, she must work seriously and not make any mistakes, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
After the investigation team arrived in the morning, the first person they talked to was Xia Weian.
Xia Weian explained to the investigation team the problems he found when reviewing the financial information.
The comrades of the investigation team originally wanted to detain Xia Weian for closed-door investigation as well.
But Wang Jingye personally guaranteed him, saying that it was Comrade Xia who discovered the matter, and there was no need to lock Comrade Xia up as well, which would cause some unnecessary rumors.
