A Half-Step Winner: Qi Tongwei's Journey to the League

After the establishment of the personnel appointment and removal work system, Qi Tongwei turned his attention to preventing corruption.

During his many years in office, Qi Tongwei punished as many as a thousand corrupt elements, but corruption still persists and there has been almost no fundamental change.

This made him realize that simply punishing corruption after it occurs is not enough to completely reverse the phenomenon of corruption. For this reason, he began to study how countries around the world prevent corruption and the practices of those honest countries.

After an in-depth analysis, he found that the more severe the laws and regulations imposed on corruption in certain regions and countries, the more significant the anti-corruption results would be. Of course, it is not just punishment, but other methods are also needed to cooperate.

Take Denmark for example, they attach great importance to the education and training of civil servants. The first lesson for newly employed civil servants is anti-corruption education.

Not only that, the education they received since childhood has included the content of honesty and integrity.

Here, using backdoors or treating and giving gifts will most of the time not only fail to get things done, but will make the other party feel that you are insulting their personality, making it even more difficult to get things done.

In addition, almost all honest countries have a system that implements a strict property disclosure system.

Whether it is an ordinary civil servant or a member of the royal family, their personal assets must be made public and all citizens can review and supervise them.

Not only that, they also have a zero-tolerance attitude towards bribery.

Take Finland as an example. No civil servant can accept any gift from others under any pretext. Even if it is a personal gift, the value of the gift cannot exceed 25 US dollars and must be declared online.

Denmark also has a rule that Qi Tongwei particularly likes, which is that if a businessman gives a gift to a government official, it is a crime regardless of whether the other party accepts it or not.

Qi Tongwei looked at the anti-corruption experience of the above-mentioned countries and wanted to use it, but in the end he sighed helplessly.

It's not that he doesn't want to do it, he just doesn't dare.

Take the policy of public disclosure of officials' assets as an example. If he dared to propose it, his official career would probably end here.

Qi Tongwei did not carry out reforms blindly. The various reforms recorded in history books taught him a truth: without grasping power, blindly launching reforms would only lead to a dead end or marginalization.

Qi Tongwei put away his impatience and began to focus on the economy. Of course, this does not mean he will turn a blind eye to corruption, and he will still increase the punishment for corrupt behavior.

At the same time, Sun Jie and others also accelerated the investigation and handling of the case.

"Team Leader Sun, I just received news that Hongsheng Group's financial officer Liu Xinming is dead!" Tang Yongfei said anxiously.

"Dead, was it an accident?" Sun Jie asked with a frown.

Tang Yongfei said dejectedly: "Liu Xinming had a heart attack due to drunkenness. The forensic doctor said it was a natural death."

Sun Jie rubbed his head and muttered to himself, "Why did he die earlier or later, but waited until he was about to be questioned? Is it really such a coincidence?"

Sun Jie did not believe the result, so he immediately contacted Li Boran, an old friend from the provincial department who was an authority in forensic medicine.

"Wait, I'll come over tonight and we'll contact each other after I get there." Li Boran did not refuse.

After contacting Li Boran, Sun Jie notified Tang Yongfei and asked him to find the family of the deceased and not to cremate the body yet, but to wait for the provincial forensic doctor.

"Remember, Liu Xinming must not be cremated." Before Tang Yongfei left, Sun Jie reminded him again, fearing that Liu Xinming would be cremated prematurely due to Ye Chunyu's intervention.

As a result, many clues were lost.

Tang Yongfei nodded, then went straight to the hospital and found Liu Xinming's parents. He knew that these two were the saddest.

"What did you say? My son was murdered?" Father Liu said excitedly, with veins bulging on his hands.

Tang Yongfei said solemnly: "Old man, I dare not guarantee you that your son must have died of murder, but this possibility is very high.

We have contacted the best forensic doctor in our provincial department, and he will arrive tonight. After he examines your son, we can determine whether his accident was accidental or deliberate."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Father Liu nodded expressionlessly.

"Dad, the hospital just informed me that the hospital morgue needs repairs. They have already contacted the funeral home and will work overtime to complete the cremation. I have already signed the cremation consent form." Liu Xinmin's wife Pang Jing also realized that something was wrong.

After saying that, she patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, they will greet us before taking people away, and we need to be present for the cremation."

"We absolutely cannot take this risk! What if they don't follow the rules? As long as they have your cremation consent form, even if we are not on the scene afterwards, they can completely explain it as a mistake at work." Father Liu said solemnly.

Tang Yongfei chimed in: "Compared to a murder case, disciplinary action means nothing."

Before he finished speaking, Father Liu walked hurriedly towards the morgue without hesitation.

When they arrived at the morgue, they happened to see the funeral home's hearse preparing to load the body.

Father Liu was shocked when he saw this. He rushed forward and opened his arms to stop the staff who were about to move the body. He shouted angrily, "Stop! Who allowed you to move the body without permission? Did you get the consent of our family members?"

Among the people stopped by Liu's father, the leader was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties.

He explained with a gentle expression: "Uncle, it's like this. Liu Xinmin's wife, Ms. Pang Jing, has signed the cremation consent form, so we moved the body."

However, before he could finish his words, Liu's father angrily interrupted him and shouted, "Even if my daughter-in-law agrees to cremation, before you take her away, shouldn't we, the relatives, say our final goodbyes to the deceased?"

Facing the accusation from Liu's father, the other party nodded repeatedly and apologized sincerely, saying: "I'm so sorry, uncle, we have been so busy with work recently that we didn't think so carefully.

This was a serious oversight on our part and we apologize to you and your family.”

"The apology won't stop me. My son's body cannot be cremated for the time being." Father Liu said firmly.

The leading man's heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Sir, cremation is a national regulation..."

Before he could finish, Tang Yongfei said, "No matter how urgent the matter is, it won't be fixed in one or two days. You should also be considerate of the old man and the others. We'll take the body for cremation tomorrow."

Although the leader was very reluctant, he had to follow Tang Yongfei's advice in order not to alert the enemy.

At this time, Liu Xinmin's family and Tang Yongfei were almost certain that Liu Xinmin had died of murder, otherwise he would not have been cremated so soon.
