At the Pinnacle of Power: My Insider Report Alarms Bigwigs in Beijing's Elite Circle

In the previous life, after Xiao Yuan died, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's special task force entered Yunshan and took Xia Hong away. Xu Xiulian could not withstand the pressure and turned herself in.

Now, Lin Yi wants to use public reports as a pretext to investigate Xia Hong and put pressure on Xu Xiulian!

"Lin...Lin Ke, I'm innocent! Someone must be secretly retaliating against me..."

Xia Hong's heart was in turmoil, but she tried her best to control her expression, looking extremely aggrieved and indignant.

On the other side, Xu Xiulian continued walking towards the door, but her calves seemed to be cramping and were trembling uncontrollably, and her face was as pale as paper.

Seeing Xu Xiulian's performance, Lin Yi knew that his plan had succeeded.

But he added fuel to the fire, coldly interrupting Xia Hong:

"Innocent? Director Xia, don't you know what you did in Mayor Xiao's case?"

Xia Hong's expression changed once again.

Even though she tried her best to hide it, her face still betrayed her panic!

"Let's go, Director Xia."

Lin Yi spoke up to remind Xia Hong.

"it is good!"

Xia Hong took a deep breath and quickly regained her composure.

In her view, Lin Yi couldn't possibly know about Wu Zhiqiang and the others' plans!

Besides, that incident never happened, so what is she afraid of?

Lin Yi led Xia Hong out of the room and was shocked to see Xu Xiulian standing in the corridor, leaning against the wall, her face deathly pale, cold sweat pouring down her forehead, and her whole body trembling as if she had been electrocuted.

Geek!

Xia Hong was startled by Xu Xiulian's reaction and began to feel uneasy again.

But because Lin Yi was right behind her, she couldn't say anything to Xu Xiulian, and she didn't even dare to make eye contact with Xu Xiulian.

Lin Yi gave Xu Xiulian a sharp look.

One glance almost made Xu Xiulian suffocate!

Two minutes later.

Lin Yi led Xia Hong to the floor where the investigation team was staying, and they encountered Lu Liang and Shi Xiaorui in the corridor.

Both men were on the first investigation team and were preparing to go to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to interrogate Wu Yong and Xia Yuan.

Lu Liang and Shi Xiaorui turned their gazes to Lin Yi almost simultaneously, their disdain undisguised.

Shi Xiaorui even deliberately stopped and said in a sarcastic tone:

"Senior, some people have never done any disciplinary work, but they've picked up some rhetoric from somewhere and dare to spout nonsense and draw arbitrary conclusions at meetings. I wonder if Liang Jingru gave them the courage?"

She and Lu Liang both graduated from Huaxia University of Political Science and Law, and they even shared the same advisor.

Lu Liang was three years her senior. He served as the student council president during his time at school, married a member of a wealthy family after graduation, and went on to work at the Supreme People's Procuratorate. He was a legendary figure at the school.

She was very excited when she met Lu Liang with the investigation team.

That excitement stemmed from both admiration and a desire to curry favor with someone powerful.

She could tell that Lu Liang disliked Lin Yi.

Therefore, in order to curry favor with Lin Yi, she took the initiative to start mocking him.

"The leaders see this clearly: empty talk and theoretical discussions are detrimental to the country. That's why they assigned us to the first investigation group and let him just go through the motions in the third investigation group."

Lu Liang sneered, feeling that Shi Xiaorui was really enjoying this flattery.

Lin Yi frowned and glanced at the two of them. Then he noticed Hou Tianming, the director of the publicity department of the Dongjiang Provincial Public Security Bureau, walking out of a room. He then ignored the two of them.

"Director Hou, I received a report from the public that Xia Hong, the deputy secretary-general of the municipal party committee and director of the reception office, is suspected of violating laws and regulations. Therefore, I brought her here to investigate the situation."

Lin Yi, accompanied by Xia Hong, approached Hou Tianming and spoke first.

He had heard of Hou Tianming's reputation when he first started working.

The Detective of Yunshan.

Hou Tianming once served as the captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Yunshan City Public Security Bureau and the deputy director of the city's Public Security Bureau. He solved many cases and had a great reputation in the Dongjiang police force.

But for some unknown reason, a few years ago, Hou Tianming was transferred to the Publicity Department of the Provincial Public Security Bureau as its director, thus distancing himself from criminal investigation work.

what's the situation?

Both Lu Liang and Shi Xiaorui were stunned by Lin Yi's words.

Originally, both of them thought that Lin Yi was just there for show.

As a result, right after the work meeting ended, Lin Yi received a report from the public, and even brought Xia Hong, the person being reported, to the meeting!

"Comrade Xiaolin's work efficiency is admirable. Come on, I'll accompany you to interrogate her."

Hou Tianming was also slightly taken aback, then glanced at Lin Yi thoughtfully.

He came from Yunshan, knew Xia Hong, and knew a lot about her.

He never expected that the first person Lin Yi would interrogate would be Xia Hong!

Xia Hong, with a mournful face, said, "Tianming, I'm innocent! You must investigate this thoroughly!"

"Hehe, whether I'm wronged or not, it's not up to me to decide. I'm just an assistant to Comrade Xiao Lin."

Hou Tianming chuckled and then glanced at Lu Liang and Shi Xiaorui in the distance, seemingly casually.

After he finished speaking, Hou Tianming accompanied Lin Yi and led Xia Hong into an interrogation room.

It was called an interrogation room, but it was actually a guest room in a guesthouse that had been temporarily converted.

Hou Tianming placed the teacup and notebook on the desk and said, "Comrade Xiaolin, you will be in charge of the trial, and I will be responsible for taking notes."

"it is good."

Lin Yi pondered for a moment and then agreed to Hou Tianming's suggestion.

He always felt that something was off about Hou Tianming, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

"Tianming, I was framed..."

Xia Hong sat opposite Lin Yi and Hou Tianming, once again pleading for her innocence.

Lin Yi coldly interrupted:

"Xia Hong, you are currently under investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Director Hou is the investigation specialist of the team. Please be mindful of your title."

"Commissioner Lin, you said that some members of the public have reported me for violating laws and regulations, and that I am related to Mayor Xiao's case. I find this absurd! I swear by my Party spirit that everything I have done is legal and compliant. Furthermore, I have absolutely no connection with Mayor Xiao's case!"

Xia Hong spoke again, but her usual charming smile was gone, replaced by a gloomy expression.

Lin Yi said calmly, "Xia Hong, do you think I would interrogate you if there were no evidence? I think you won't admit it until you're faced with the truth!"

"Commissioner Lin, since you have evidence, then please transfer the evidence of my crime to the procuratorate."

Xia Hong retorted without holding back.

Having overcome her initial panic, she had completely calmed down and believed that Lin Yi couldn't possibly have any evidence.

Lin Yi had no experience in disciplinary inspection work, and his interrogation methods were nothing to fear. Trying to pry open her mouth was wishful thinking!

As long as she doesn't say anything, Wu Zhiqiang will definitely find a way to get her out!

"Xia Hong, I will come to you with evidence in one hour. I advise you to cherish this last hour and seize the opportunity to make amends and atone for your crimes."

As Lin Yi spoke, he got up and walked outside.

Is this over?

Hou Tianming looked completely bewildered, then got up and followed Lin Yi out of the interrogation room.

At the same time, a female security guard entered the interrogation room to monitor Xia Hong's every move and prevent her from taking extreme measures.

Hou Tianming and Lin Yi returned to their office. Hou Tianming looked at Lin Yi with some suspicion: "Comrade Lin, you just received a report and you already have evidence? The whistleblower provided you with evidence of Xia Hong's illegal and disciplinary violations?"

"No."

"No evidence?"

Hou Tianming was taken aback at first, then smiled wryly and said, "Comrade Xiao Lin, generally speaking, when the public reports cadres for violating laws and regulations, we must first conduct an investigation and verification. Only after confirming that we have certain clues and evidence can we investigate the reported cadre. Otherwise, it is easy to cause trouble."

"Director Hou, I know all that you've said. Although we don't have evidence now, we will soon have it."

Lin Yi explained.

Hou Tianming asked suspiciously, "How fast?"

"Within one hour!"

Lin Yi said confidently.

Hou Tianming asked curiously, "Where will we get the evidence?"

"Director Hou, we're not going anywhere."

"You mean, sit in your office and wait for the evidence to come to you?"

"Correct!"

Lin Yi smiled slightly.

Hou Tianming looked like he'd seen a ghost.

Having been a criminal investigation expert, he believed Lin Yi was making an international joke!

"Bang bang bang!"

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Come in."

As Lin Yi finished speaking, the office door was pushed open.

Xu Xiulian, from the municipal party committee's guesthouse, walked in shakily.

Is this the evidence?

Hou Tianming immediately noticed that something was wrong with Xu Xiulian.

Lin Yi spoke up, revealing: "Xu Xiulian, you're here to confess that Xia Hong instructed you to poison Mayor Xiao's food, right?"

"Lin...Lin Ke, no...it wasn't poisoning, it was just adding a drug..."

Xu Xiulian was so frightened that her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground, frantically trying to defend herself.

"Don't be afraid. Come, sit down and tell me slowly what happened."

Lin Yi stepped forward to help Xu Xiulian up, completely relieved.

Just as he had predicted, Xu Xiulian couldn't withstand the pressure and turned herself in, and even faster than he had imagined!

This guy has something!

Hou Tianming looked at Lin Yi with great interest, feeling that the work of this investigation team might be different from what he had imagined.
