I just joined the inspection department, and the whole country is in a panic.

bank.

Yang Wen held the form in his hand and remained silent for a moment.

Fang Jiashi had only 3.3 yuan in all his bank accounts.

Fang Jiashi's wife only had a little over five thousand yuan in her bank account.

To be honest, this amount of money does seem normal.

"Brother Wen, I feel that investigating like this won't yield any clues. After all, only a fool would keep so much money in their own bank account. Even if they did, it's probably in a relative's account," Wei Liang analyzed.

"So I didn't have any expectations to begin with." Yang Wen shook his head with a smile.

“However, we all know that Fang Jiashi was cheated out of 180 million yuan before, so he must have been embezzling all these years!” Yang Wen added.

"So how do we investigate now?" Wei Liang asked Yang Wen.

"We need to negotiate with the bank and check the school's financial expenditures," Yang Wen said in a deep voice.

"You go and negotiate, I need to make a phone call to report the situation to Secretary Fan."

"it is good."

Outside the bank, Yang Wen dialed Peng Weizhong's number.

"Hey bro, I just checked his family's assets and didn't find anything wrong," Yang Wen reported.

“Well, if we could easily find problems with a simple investigation, then Fang Jiashi wouldn’t still be in power,” Peng Weizhong said with a slight smile.

"What good ideas do you have?"

“There isn’t much money to be made in schools, and large-scale infrastructure projects like those don’t happen every year, so if Fang Jiashi could come up with 180 million, he must have embezzled a lot of money.”

"Under these circumstances, his main source of income is probably the steady stream of embezzlement."

"You mean..." Peng Weizhong probably understood the direction of Yang Wen's guess.

"Canteens, student learning materials, school uniforms, etc. are definitely good projects that can be sustained over time."

"I want to investigate who currently manages the canteen at Honghai High School, and who supplies the school's learning materials, uniforms, and so on. I'm currently investigating the school's income and expenses, and I'd like to verify this with them later; perhaps we can find some clues," Yang Wen stated his idea.

“Okay, I’ll look into that for you!” Peng Weizhong nodded in agreement.

"Ok!"

In the afternoon.

Yang Wen and Wei Liang returned with a thick stack of bank statements.

That's almost a whole basketful!

"Brother Wen, shall we check them one by one?" Wei Liang looked at the huge pile of transaction records, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

"if not?"

"..."

"I'll cover your midnight snacks, you can eat whatever you want," Yang Wen said with a laugh.

"real or fake?"

"Do whatever you want!"

"You said it yourself!"

From that moment on, the two began to bury themselves in organizing the data.

Just over an hour after the two of them finished checking.

Peng Weizhong also returned with firsthand information.

"Yang Wen, the information you requested has arrived!"

"The current cafeteria contractor at Honghai High School is Xie Guangqiang. The cafeteria contract is usually renewed every three years, and Xie Guangqiang has been in charge of it for nine consecutive years!"

"As for the learning materials, test papers, and study aids for Honghai High School, they were all purchased from a bookseller named Yang Mingxia, and she has been purchasing from her for six consecutive years!"

"Regarding school uniforms, the school purchases four sets twice a year, all from a clothing factory called Zhou Jiaxin!" "Also, Fang Jiashi is currently in charge of signing off on the procurement of learning materials and school uniforms."

After listening, Yang Wen narrowed his eyes and said, "Secretary, I plan to go to the bank again to investigate the bank assets of these bosses."

late at night.

Yang Wen stared at the documents he had compiled, his eyes bloodshot.

"No, this looks too suspicious!"

"Oh, something's not right?" Peng Weizhong leaned closer.

He just got back from a meeting.

Because he also needs to participate in and analyze some matters in other groups.

"This Xie Guangqiang withdraws a considerable amount of cash every summer and winter vacation!"

"Isn't withdrawing cash normal?" Peng Weizhong frowned slightly.

The canteen owner makes a considerable profit.

We need to make regular payments for goods and also make purchases.

Some people want cash?

No need for a transfer?

That does happen.

“I know that withdrawing cash is quite normal for some business owners,” Yang Wen nodded.

After all, mobile payment and such didn't exist back then.

These days, many bosses pay their employees in cash.

So withdrawing cash is quite normal.

"No, no, no, I investigated, and the cash amounts received after summer and winter vacations this year were the same, both at one time 24!"

"If I investigate further back a few years, I find that Xie Guangqiang received a sum of cash, 24 yuan, every year after the winter and summer vacations for six consecutive years!"

"If the amount is the same for one or two years, is it normal? But wouldn't it be a bit strange if it's been six years in a row?" Yang Wen analyzed.

"You mean, this cash withdrawal might very well be used to bribe certain people?" Peng Weizhong quickly understood Yang Wen's guess.

"Yes! How can I collect money in a safer way?"

"It's cash, of course! And the investigation found that after receiving the cash, Xie Guangqiang would call a number, and this number would only be called twice a year! Every year! We should also investigate who this number belongs to!"

"I also discovered another problem: this bookseller, Yang Mingxia, also withdraws a sum of cash shortly after the start of winter and summer vacations every year, and the amount is always strikingly similar!"

“She withdraws 5 yuan in cash every winter and summer vacation!”

"The information I investigated at the bank yesterday is that just last week, this high school paid Yang Mingxia, the bookseller, for a set of summer test papers and review materials. The set of test papers and review materials cost a total of 78 yuan."

“Honghai High School has 22 classes in the first year of high school, with about 65 students in each class. The same applies to the second and third years of high school.”

"In other words, this one set of summer test papers alone cost 330,000 yuan to purchase! Are the test papers valuable? Is the cost of the paper valuable? How much can Yang Mingxia earn from this 330,000 yuan? And this is just one summer test paper assignment! What about the winter vacation? It'll cost another 300,000 yuan!"

"Where are your usual study materials and monthly exam papers?" Yang Wen asked in a deep voice.

Peng Weizhong's face darkened upon hearing this; he naturally knew that these profits were exorbitant!

"Looks like we need to keep an eye on these bosses!" Peng Weizhong took a breath.

They all knew that Fang Jiashi had definitely embezzled funds.

What they need to investigate now is how the other party received money through which channels and on which projects!

“Summer vacation is just around the corner, and Yang Mingxia has landed a big order. We can send someone to keep an eye on her 24/7, especially to see if she will go to the bank to withdraw cash as I suspect, and what she will do with it!” Yang Wen said, squinting his eyes.
