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

The meeting ended, and I left the conference room.

"Brother Yang, what do you think about the development zone issue this time?" Peng Weizhong asked Yang Wen.

“I share similar thoughts with Secretary Liu. I think there must be something fishy going on behind the scenes. Just the incident involving the members of the previous investigation team is hard to explain.”

"What kind of vested interests could make a hidden enemy dare to take action against Celery?"

"Another thing is that they saw that the higher-ups were serious. After Secretary Liu led the team down, the development zone was busy making various remedies. In my eyes, it was like they were frantically spitting out money. The fact that they could spit it out proves that the people behind the scenes are very wealthy!"

“I think so too. We’ve only seen the surface so far. There’s definitely something more unexpected behind it!” Peng Weizhong nodded slightly.

He also believes that the case is not as simple as it appears at present, and even thinks it involves a wide range of issues!

"Where do you think we should start our investigation?" Peng Weizhong asked again.

He naturally recognized and admired Yang Wen's investigative skills, so now he wanted to hear Yang Wen's opinion.

“Now, a group of low-level officials in the development zone have stepped forward to take the blame. Those who should be dismissed have been dismissed, and those who should be demoted have been demoted. They have also done their job to make amends, and they have done it flawlessly. I think it will be very difficult for us to find any clues from them!” “Regarding the attraction of foreign investment, I think we should start by looking at the source and the destination of the funds!”

“Foreign companies are located overseas, making investigations extremely difficult. I suggest starting with those companies that have received funds from municipal state-owned enterprises! You might get some unexpected results!” Yang Wen said earnestly.

The next day, the entire investigation team returned to the provincial capital openly and legitimately.

This greatly relieved Jiang Zhisong, Li Senhua, Cui Ye, and others who were hiding in the shadows.

This also put Wang Guangming and the others at ease.

……

Private club.

In the study room.

"See that! I told you we should have done it this way, and now we've dodged it." Jiang Zhisong puffed on his cigar, a smile spreading across his face.

Although they suffered a significant loss this time, having to return some of the money they had invested, it was still worthwhile.

At least we escaped this investigation unscathed!

“Yes, for the foreseeable future, we will still need to find another channel to honestly pay taxes and bring the money from overseas back ‘legitimately’,” Cui Ye said with a smile.

"The investigation team has left, and some of our goods need to be shipped out. We can't wait any longer! The buyers are urging us," Li Senhua said in a deep voice.

“Yes!” “Actually, for absolute safety, we can still continuously invest the money we earn overseas in the development zone. After all, projects in the development zone can still make money, just less and with a longer cycle. Doing it this way, we can launder our money the cleanest!” Li Senhua added.

"That's something we can consider! But let's wait and see how things go..."

……

On the other hand, the investigation team...

The convoy got off the highway half an hour later and then returned to Linhai City!

After finding a hotel to stay in, Peng Weizhong went to find Liu Cunci.

"Secretary Liu, I'd like to take my team to conduct an in-depth investigation into those companies that received project and equipment payments from municipal enterprises!" Peng Weizhong said truthfully.

"Oh? Tell me more about it."

“I think…” Peng Weizhong then brought up his and Yang Wen’s ideas.

"Was it Xiao Yang who suggested it?"

Liu Cunci was not surprised to hear this.

After all, Yang Wen has performed very well in the several times he's joined the crew!

“Okay, right now none of the groups have a clear direction for their investigations. It’s good to have multiple lines of investigation. I hope you can find some useful clues. But I can’t give you much time, at most a week. I may have other tasks assigned to you later,” Liu Cunci said.

“Okay, Secretary!” Peng Weizhong nodded.

……

"Secretary Liu agreed?" Yang Wen's face lit up with joy when he heard Peng Weizhong say that Liu Cunci had agreed to their investigation in this area.

"Yes, let's hurry up now, we don't have much time."

"it is good."

Yang Wen knew very well that these companies that received project or equipment payments from municipal enterprises in the development zone were all companies whose money was laundered by smuggling bosses through the development zone and then collected.

There's definitely something wrong with this!

He hoped to find some clues.

"Once we find the smuggling bosses behind it all, all the problems will be solved," Yang Wen thought to himself.

One day later.

"Xiao Yang, here is the basic information of these forty-odd companies and the information of all their senior executives." Tao Dejin had someone bring in boxes of documents.

"Okay, thank you, Director Tao." "By the way, Director Tao, could you ask the police team if you could also check the information of the relatives of these company executives for me?" Yang Wen asked.

Just then, Peng Weizhong walked in. Hearing Yang Wen's words, he said to Tao Dejin, "Old Tao, go and get the list compiled for Xiao Yang."

"Yes, Secretary," Tao Dejin replied dutifully.

After Tao Dejin left, Peng Weizhong asked, "Yang Wen, did you find any clues?"

"Brother, how can it be that fast?" Yang Wen said speechlessly.

……

Two more days have passed in the blink of an eye.

After Yang Wen checked the list he had compiled again, a glint of light appeared in his eyes!

"I've finally found a clue!"

To be honest, Yang Wen felt a little smug looking at the list in his hand.

Yang Wen took the list and hurriedly went to find Peng Weizhong.

"Brother, I've found some clues!" Yang Wen walked in and said with a smile.

"Found a clue? What clue?" Peng Weizhong threw down the documents in his hand and stood up abruptly.

"Take a look at these lists first!"

As he spoke, Yang Wen handed over the list in his hand.

“The top executives of these forty-odd companies are all surprisingly related to a certain three people!” Yang Wen said.

"These three people are Jiang Zhisong, Li Senhua, and Cui Ye! They are engaged in the mining business in Linhai City."

"The directors or senior executives of these forty-odd companies involved in foreign investment projects in the development zone are all relatives of these three people! They're either their nephews, nieces, brothers, sisters, or distant relatives!" "Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"

"Why have these three people never touched any projects or businesses in the development zone, while most of their relatives have?"

"Moreover, I've investigated, and these three people were already well-known bosses more than a decade ago."
