Jagged City - Chapter 420 Six In-depth Investigation

"What's going on?" Zhao Dongliang also came out.

Lin Tao shook his head, and the two went out together, only to see a lieutenant colonel leading a group of dozen of people yelling outside, wanting to see Zhao Dongliang, and Major General Song Jingchao's people stopped him from entering.

"What are you doing Li Dazhuang!" Zhao Dongliang roared.

Captain Li was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Commander, are you alright!"

"I have a shitty business, hurry up and bring me back, and see how I deal with you tomorrow!" Zhao Dongliang blew his beard and stared.

Head Li scratched his head and said embarrassingly: "I heard people say that the people above put you under house arrest without distinguishing between right and wrong, and they will also charge you with crimes."

"Name, position!" Lin Tao stepped forward and asked with a sullen face.

Li Dazhuang looked at it, and the corners of his eyes twitched wildly. The young man in front of him was actually a lieutenant general. Li Dazhuang swallowed, stood at attention and saluted: "Report to the chief, I am Li Dazhuang, the head of the lieutenant colonel."

"What is the duty of a soldier?" Lin Tao asked with a cold face. Zhao Dongliang was always worried for Li Dazhuang. Li Dazhuang had followed Zhao Dongliang for 20 years and was his hardcore subordinate.He is upright and honest in nature.I was afraid that Lin Tao would be offended by playing wild at this moment.

"Obey the order!" Li Dazhuang said immediately, he couldn't help thinking, this lieutenant general's authority is too scary, why do I feel my calf cramps!

"Okay, I'm Lieutenant General Lin Tao, and this is Major General Song Jingchao. He came to inspect the military affairs of the Northwest Military Region under the instructions of the Central Military Commission. Now I order you to inform all cadres above the regiment level that a military meeting will be held at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Those who do, record a serious demerit."

"Yes!" Li Dazhuang saluted.

"Turn backward, run forward!" Lin Tao gave an order, and Li Dazhuang ran back to the headquarters to give Lin Tao's order.If you don't call the headquarters, Commander Guang Li will inform you, who will believe those division-level cadres!That's why Lin Tao asked him to call the headquarters to inform him.

After the minor commotion was resolved for the time being, Lin Tao went upstairs with Zhao Dongliang again, and Zhao Dongliang thoughtfully didn't ask why Lin Tao didn't let him leave.

The two sat down in the living room. Lin Tao looked around and said, "I don't think Commander Zhao is feeling sleepy, why don't you and I have a drink?"

"Okay!" Zhao Dongliang finally relaxed his brows, went back to the inner room, and took out three dishes from the safe, all of which were cooked food, duck head, sausage, and beef sauce. The place where he lives has food and drink, and Zhao Dongliang brought two bottles of Moutai.Lin Tao took a bottle, unscrewed the cap, and poured wine for Zhao Dongliang.

"I usually have a good drink, and I have some appetizers here!" Zhao Dongliang turned around and took out a can of yellow croaker, and put a bag of five-spice peanuts on the plate.Zhao Dongliang's mood seemed to be calmer.

"I usually don't drink a lot, but I'm a better drinker." Lin Tao grabbed a duck head and started to chew it, saying that it tasted good.Then he raised his glass to signal, and drank half of the glass in one sip.Putting down the cup, he stretched out his chopsticks and stuffed a yellow croaker into his mouth, as if enjoying it.

Zhao Dongliang looked at it, drank half a cup in one gulp, then grabbed a duck head and started to eat it.The scene where the two lieutenant generals rolled up their arms and sleeves without any image, and gnawed the duck's head until it was oily was really rare.

Lin Tao said while eating: "Power is a good thing. It responds to everyone, and it makes people feel good about themselves. But obsessed with power will abuse power. Private becomes public, and public becomes private."

Zhao Dongliang didn't speak, but listened quietly, chewing occasionally.Lin Tao continued: "Money is a good thing. You can buy whatever you want. But there is not much for private life. It is meaningful to feed back to the society. That way you can eat well and sleep well. Money Although this thing is good, it must be done by a gentleman who loves money and obtains it in a proper way. I don’t know, Commander Zhao understands me, but I’m still the mayor of Xiliang.”

Zhao Dongliang nodded. He knew a little about the most famous lieutenant general in the army.

Lin Tao continued: "I also love money, but I have never received money from others in the past few years as an official. You may say that my family has enough money to start a company. Of course, I don't care about others giving money. Of course, this is also one reason. First of all, not to mention taking bribes and breaking the law, the so-called cannibalism is short-sighted, short-handed, you have to do things for others if you take other people’s money. Unreasonable demands become reasonable under the drive of money. Link power with money, and thus become a slave of the government. Party, government, state policies and laws are ignored. You have seen Wang Lifeng's fate. He is too deeply involved and knows too much. , The mastermind behind the scenes was murdered before we came. You can see how miserable Wang Lifeng and his wife died, and you can see that the people behind the scenes are extremely vicious, and they will not hesitate to kill for profit."

Beads of sweat appeared on Zhao Dongliang's face, rolling down from his forehead one by one.

Lin Tao took another two mouthfuls of food, then handed out his chopsticks, and continued: "In life, one should not only live happily for oneself, but also leave a good reputation for future generations. Take decades ago, some parents were martyrs , That is to live with confidence. Some people's parents are landlords and traitors. No matter how capable they are, they can't hold their heads up in front of others. This seems to be far away, let's talk about it now. I think your children will be proud of you. Even if you don’t buy your children villas or sports cars, they will still live proudly in front of people. Because you are worthy of respect. But if—"

"Lieutenant General Lin, don't talk about it. I understand. I was blinded by money for a while, so I gave Wang Lifeng a green light. But since I received the 50 US dollars, I have started to suffer from insomnia. It is indeed as you said. Said, my voice is not so loud in front of people, in front of soldiers, I feel guilty, I have been a soldier all my life, and I am always out of morals————” Zhao Dongliang covered his face with his hands, and tears flowed down his fingers drip.Lin Tao looked at Commander Zhao's gray hair with pity in his heart.I just beat Zhao Dongliang once, and Commander Zhao recruited. It can be seen that the trap is not deep, and my conscience has been condemned all the time.Lin Tao decided to try his best to excuse Commander Zhao.

After waiting for a long time, Zhao Dongliang finally stopped his grief and wiped his tears with a handkerchief.Then he stood up, stretched out his hands, and said to Lin Tao: "Lieutenant General Lin, handcuff me. I am sorry to the party, I am sorry to the army that has trained me for many years, I am also sorry to the old leader, and I am even more sorry to my family—"

"Commander Zhao, sit down and talk!" Lin Tao pulled Commander Zhao down.Then he gave the truth to Commander Zhao, asked Commander Zhao to take the initiative to explain everything, hand over the bribes, and explain everything clearly.The two exchanged for a while.Lin Tao called Major General Song Jingchao, and the clerk followed.

Commander Zhao opened the safe in the inner room and took out the silver suitcase, which contained 50 US dollars, none of which was touched.It can be seen that Commander Zhao has been engaged in ideological struggle.

Lin Tao said: "Comrade Zhao Dongliang, you can take the initiative to confess, provide us with clues to solve the case, and take the initiative to hand over the bribes. This attitude is very good. Although our soldiers have iron discipline, we also treat comrades who have made mistakes. The attitude of treating illnesses and saving lives. I hope you will continue to cooperate and strive for leniency."

"Yes, I must know everything, I didn't resist the temptation of money for a while, I made a mistake, I plead guilty—"

Lin Tao's words and Zhao Dongliang's confession were all recorded, and the clerk made a video while making a written record.Lin Tao asked twice. Zhao Dongliang was not in deep trouble, so he used his power and used the army as a cover to let Wang Lifeng transport private goods. There was nothing wrong with it.

"Okay, Commander Zhao, I believe in you. I hope you will do the right thing. That Captain Li just now was obviously provoked by someone with ulterior motives. I hope you can investigate clearly tonight and arrest him on the spot at the meeting tomorrow." Lin Tao Said seriously.

"Yes, I promise to complete the task!" Zhao Dongliang stood up and saluted, with tears in his eyes, looking at the dazzling and sacred national emblem on Lin Tao's hat.

When Li Dazhuang was called, Commander Zhao talked to him alone. Li Dazhuang knew everything in front of Zhao Dongliang. At the moment, he bought a combat staff officer and a regimental commander. It was these two people who encouraged him and spread rumors. Bringing people into the headquarters.

Lin Tao analyzed that these two people are most likely to be the mastermind behind the scenes, the nails planted in the Northwest Military Region.Best caught in secret before the meeting.Zhao Dongliang regained his spirits, sent more patrols to the camp, and strictly guarded the arsenal.

Nothing happened all night, the next day the wake-up call sounded, and after washing, they all went to the cafeteria to eat. The staff officer and regiment leader who provoked dissension were shouted away by the regiment leader Wang, who put a gun on his waist and eyes. Take away in secret.At first he wanted to resist, but when he saw Zhao Dongliang staring at them with a cold face not far away, he immediately lowered his head like a discouraged ball.After all, Commander Zhao is number one in the Xi'an Military Region regardless of status and prestige. With him in town, no one can turn the tide.

Lin Tao was not happy because he caught the two small fish, but frowned, because the safe in Wang Lifeng's house was opened, and there was nothing. Lin Tao suspected that he was taken away by the killer.

Just after breakfast, there was another news from Li Lu that the killer who went to kill Li Xiaoli had made a move. Under Li Lu's means, he knew everything and said everything.It was Deputy Commander Wang Lifeng who sent the killer to the hospital to assassinate Li Xiaoli. This was the killer Wang Lifeng raised.And he knew that Wang Lifeng had a mysterious safe in Xi'an Bank.Lin Tao's eyes lit up.Immediately send people to the bank to ambush, on the other hand, report to General Chen, contact the bank, and forcibly open the safe.

Lin Xiaorong was ordered to disguise herself as a bank vault guide, waiting for someone to take the bait to take things from Wang Lifeng's safe.In fact, Wang Lifeng's safe was opened by Lin Tao's people before eight o'clock in the morning, and they took out a secret account book, 300 million US dollars, and a lot of jewelry.And a Swiss bank account of 1000 million US dollars.After Lin Tao got the ledger, he saw the catalog of the three arms transactions recorded in it. Several people were mentioned in it. Although they were not from the Feng family, they must have something to do with them.And one of the important figures is the director of the management department of the weapons and equipment depot of the Lanzhou Military Region. Some weapons were smuggled out of this military depot.Lin Tao felt a headache when he saw this. If so many weapons were to be smuggled out, it would never be handled by a division chief. There must be more senior officers on top.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the Xi'an Military Region held a regiment-level cadre meeting.Zhao Dongliang spoke a few words at the beginning, and then asked Lin Tao to speak.Lin Tao originally came to investigate the case, but he made up a lie, saying that he came to the military region ahead of time to welcome Chen Shangfu, vice chairman of the Military Commission, to make preparations for the Xi'an military region and welcome the chief inspector in a full state of mind.Zhao Dongliang was also surprised, because Lin Tao didn't tell him about it, which shows that the Military Commission attaches great importance to Wang Lifeng's case.

Just when Lin Tao and Zhao Dongliang were welcoming General Chen's special plane, a guest was welcomed in the underground vault of Xi'an Bank. This person was holding a special key to open the safe.After entering, the senior in his 30s quickly found the safe, opened it, and saw that it was full of US dollars. After filling the box, there was still a lot left in it, but there was nothing he was looking for in it.The man muttered softly, "If I didn't put it here, could it be that it's still in the villa?"

Although the account book was not found, the thief did not leave. The boy carried the box and went to the outside room. Lin Xiaorong was standing there, bending over to welcome the boy next time.He didn't notice that Lin Xiaorong took out a short golden stick from his pocket and stuffed it into the boy's back-swinging palm. The boy felt a chill in his palm, but before he could respond, a surge of electricity came over him. He fell to the ground with a muffled grunt, his limbs twitched, and he was foaming.Lin Xiaolian touched the earphones and asked someone to come in. Two people in black suits walked outside and escorted the kid away from the back door.Lin Xiaolian asked people to take away all the money in the safe, and then took them to the National Security Headquarters.

Chen Shanglai came to the military region and entered the headquarters accompanied by Lin Tao, Song Jingchao and Zhao Dongliang.Lin Tao talked with General Chen alone in a room, and Zhao Dongliang outside was a little uneasy.Lin Tao introduced the situation last night, and said a few good words for Zhao Dongliang, so far. After all, the two of them didn't have much friendship, so it was their duty.As for how to deal with Zhao Dongliang in the end, that is a matter for the higher authorities.Lin Tao took out the account book again and asked General Chen to watch it. General Chen frowned after reading it. Such moths must be removed in time, but there may be a lot of involvement behind the scenes. It is also an opportunity for him to gain a firm foothold and shock the major military regions.General Chen and Lin Tao had a secret conversation for an hour before they came out. Zhao Dongliang's forehead was a little sweaty, and he looked at General Chen with pitiful eyes.General Chen came over and patted Zhao Dongliang on the shoulder and said, "Old Zhao, it's not too late for you to rein in the precipice. Don't feel burdened. As long as you cooperate with Lieutenant General Lin, I will help you at the Military Commission meeting." What you said, after all, there is no credit and hard work in these years."

"Yes, Chief, I promise to cooperate well with Lieutenant General Lin, please rest assured." Zhao Dongliang's eyes were full of tears, knowing that he had saved this time, but it might be impossible to continue to sit in a seat, the best The result is early retirement.
