When Chen Bin was taken away for investigation, Feng Lei was also summoned by the investigation team of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.
The two arrived at the office of the investigation team one after another and were interrogated separately.
However, they all denied Wu Liang's confession of bribery and said they had no knowledge of it at all.
Staring at Chen Bin, the investigation team said seriously.
"Confess and be lenient, resist and be strict, you'd better explain everything you know!"
Chen Bin looked innocent.
"I really don't know anything, these must be used by Wu Liang to frame me."
"Then why didn't he frame others, but you?"
"I don't know about this either, why don't you find him and we can confront him face to face!"
Seeing that Chen Bin couldn't ask everyone, the investigation team had to interrogate Feng Lei.
However, the result from Feng Lei was the same.
He still hoped to confront Wu Liang face to face.
When the investigation team reported the situation to Peng Shaobo, the latter nodded after thinking about it.
"Since they want to talk face to face, let's arrange it together."
"Then Secretary Feng..."
"He is the core figure, of course he has to be there, but I will call him personally."
After the investigation team left, Peng Shaobo notified Feng Huzhou.
After learning that Feng Lei was taken away, Feng Huzhou knew that Peng Shaobo must have come to him about Wu Liang.
But he had a clear conscience and was naturally willing to cooperate with the investigation.
Soon, Chen Bin, Feng Lei, Wu Liang, Feng Huzhou, and Huang Ming, the five main characters, met together.
In a room, four chairs facing different directions were placed in the center.
In other words, the four people sitting on them could not see each other's faces at all.
These four chairs were prepared for Chen Bin, Feng Lei, Wu Liang, and Feng Huzhou respectively.
As for Huang Ming, he was arranged in the corner, facing the wall.
After everything was in place, the leader of the investigation team looked at Wu Liang.
"You go first."
Wu Liang nodded and spoke directly.
"I heard that Feng Huzhou has a strong relationship with the higher-ups, so I wanted to get in touch with him, but I never had the chance. Later, I learned that his daughter-in-law worked in Qingshi County, so I asked Huang Ming to approach and please his daughter-in-law."
The team leader looked at Huang Ming, "Is this true?"
Huang Ming nodded.
"Then how did you please her?"
"Vivian Hsu doesn't have any hobbies, so I can only invite her to my house for dinner occasionally. But before we could establish a good relationship, rumors about me and her started to spread in the county, and Vivian Hsu ignored me because of this."
"Then how did this matter get connected to Chen Bin?"
"Chen Bin is Vivian Hsu's adopted brother, and I used the excuse of introducing a date to Chen Bin to establish a relationship with him, and then asked him to help me from the side."
The team leader looked at Chen Bin, "Is this true?"
Chen Bin nodded, "Yes!"
"Then how did you answer at that time?"
Chen Bin thought for a moment before speaking.
"I remember that I asked Huang Ming what I could do for him, but he refused to tell me. Then he asked me to meet Wu Liang."
"Why did you agree to meet Wu Liang for no reason?"
"Because he is the mayor, and I am just a secretary of the county committee. It is a great honor to meet the mayor!"
The head of the investigation team nodded, thinking that this was reasonable, and looked at Wu Liang.
"Go on."
Wu Liang nodded, "Under Huang Ming's arrangement, after I met Chen Bin, I said I had something to ask Vivian Hsu, and wanted Chen Bin to introduce me to Vivian Hsu's husband Feng Lei."
The head of the investigation team asked again, "Do you want to get to know Feng Huzhou through Feng Lei?"
"Yes."
"Do you just want to get to know him, or do you have other purposes?"
"I heard that Secretary Li Luli was leaving Tianhai, so I wanted to take his place, and hoped that Feng Huzhou would help me fulfill my wish through his connections."
The head of the investigation team looked at Chen Bin, "How did you answer at the time?"
Chen Bin answered calmly.
"I didn't know Wu Liang's real purpose at the time. I thought that Feng Lei also worked in the city, and they would meet sooner or later, so I did a favor."
"Wu Liang, go on."
Take a deep breath, Wu Liang slowly spoke.
"Under Chen Bin's arrangement, Feng Lei and I met at the hotel. After sending Chen Bin away, I told Feng Lei that I wanted to meet Feng Huzhou. Feng Lei said that Feng Huzhou had a job transfer and would not meet anyone."
"Then, what did you do?"
"I had no choice but to tell Feng Lei that I wanted to be a city official, and promised that as long as I became the top leader, I would get his benefits. After Feng Lei called Feng Huzhou, Feng Huzhou asked Chen Bin to be the middleman."
As soon as Wu Liang finished speaking, Feng Lei raised his hand.
The head of the investigation team nodded, "You say."
Feng Lei hurriedly explained.
"What Wu Liang said before was true, but the last sentence was a lie! I said on the spot that my father could not do this kind of thing, and asked him to find someone else to do it."
Hearing this, Wu Liang was immediately angry.
Turning his head to look at Feng Lei, he roared.
"You're lying. You clearly contacted Feng Huzhou at that time!"
The head of the investigation team saw this and quickly scolded him.
"Turn your head around and talk!"
With a sigh, Wu Liang could only droop his head and turn his head back.
The head of the investigation team looked at Feng Huzhou, "Secretary Feng, how did you answer after receiving the call?"
Feng Huzhou said, "I didn't know about this matter from beginning to end. If you don't believe me, you can check the call records of that day."
Nodding, the head of the investigation team winked at the person next to him.
Obviously he went to find the call records.
Then, the team leader looked at Wu Liang, "Go on."
"My idea is that Feng Huzhou asked Chen Bin, an inconspicuous little character, to be the middleman for safety reasons. For this reason, I also gave Chen Bin a watch and asked him to help me find out what Feng Huzhou thought."
The team leader looked at Chen Bin, "Is that true?"
"Wu Liang did give me a watch, but that was before the matter was done. He wanted me to help Feng Lei with some work. I didn't agree at first, but he insisted on giving it to me, and I didn't dare to refuse in the end."
While talking, Chen Bin took off the watch on his wrist.
After observing it, the team leader found that it was a foreign watch.
Although the appearance and style looked high-end, it was only about one or two thousand yuan in total.
It is obviously unlikely to convict Chen Bin for accepting a watch.
So he continued to look at Wu Liang, "Go on."
Wu Liang continued: "Seeing that Li Lu's transfer time was getting closer and closer, and there was still no movement on my side, so I asked Chen Bin out for dinner. During the meal, Chen Bin asked me to give him 300,000 yuan, saying that this matter could be settled."
"The 300,000 yuan was transferred from your bank card?"
"This..."
At this moment, Wu Liang suddenly became speechless.
All his bribes and bribes were kept in foreign banks. If this was revealed, the matter would be even bigger.
And he couldn't produce any evidence of transferring money to Chen Bin.
Hearing that Wu Liang couldn't continue, Chen Bin laughed directly.
"Mayor Wu, you are really good at making up stories. It's really funny to buy a city official in a provincial capital city for 300,000 yuan!"
Wu Liang was originally anxious and angry, and now he suddenly heard this and broke his defense instantly.
He suddenly turned around and grabbed Chen Bin's collar and punched him in the cheek.
"You bastard, you only asked me for 300,000 yuan because you were afraid of this day, right? If you don't tell the truth, do you believe I will kill you?!"
