Chapter 113 Crisis: We are a volunteer association, not an anti-corruption bureau
No one knows Chen Qingquan better than Qi Tongwei.
"The right to interpret the law lies with me!" This is Chen Qingquan's famous saying.
Because of this public interest litigation, Chen Qingquan has to become Zhao Ruilong's disciple in advance.
Qi Tongwei's design is:
While he is still a low-ranking official and before he harms more "foreign language teachers",
Send Chen Qingquan to prison early.
In such a serious situation, countless eyes are watching.
Judge Chen dared to do such evil things for money.
It really proves the saying "Ignorance is bliss".
As for why the requirement is to understand both civil and criminal matters.
Because Qi Tongwei expected that this would not only be a public interest litigation case related to environmental protection.
Under certain conditions, there is a high possibility of being involved in criminal offenses.
Let Chen Qingquan, who is proficient in both civil and criminal law, preside over the trial.
It is just to accuse him of breaking the law knowingly.
Let Chen Qingquan decide for himself and see how many years he can be sentenced.
……
Volunteer Association Museum.
The deeper things progress, the more dangerous it becomes.
"Old Guo, do you think we've made a mistake?" The person who asked the question was another volunteer, Wu Tao.
"What? Now that we have found out something, are you scared?" Guo Xuzu's face darkened.
"You said, we are all ordinary people. What if we anger Zhao Ruilong? We can't defeat him!" Wu Tao said worriedly.
"This is what we do, for the millions of people in Luzhou," Guo Xuzu replied.
"You're right, but it also blocks Zhao Ruilong's path to wealth!"
"Are you scared? Or have you accepted Zhao Ruilong's money?" Guo Xuzu couldn't bear to listen to Wu Tao's words anymore.
"I said I was afraid. Isn't that embarrassing? Collecting money? I don't dare to do that. I just want my family to be quiet and not cause any trouble at home!"
"If you're afraid, don't do it!" Guo Xuzu yelled.
Wu Tao did not respond, but just bowed to Guo Xuzu to apologize.
Turn around and leave.
This made Guo Xuzu feel a little uncomfortable.
I had thought of this possibility before, so I asked Sun Liancheng to help cheer me up.
After all, the appearance of a county-level official is enough to give confidence to the workers of these ordinary enterprises.
But as the investigation deepened, the volunteers found that things were not as simple as they had imagined.
I thought this was a pollution problem.
When they investigated Zhao Ruilong's shell company, they found that there might be more financial problems involved.
This is equivalent to touching Zhao Ruilong's vital point.
Wouldn't they risk their lives to fight you?
It seems that convergence of values alone is far from enough.
They are just a group of passionate environmental supporters.
But not a fighter.
Not strong enough to fight against those who want to harm them.
In desperation, Guo Xuzu found Sun Liancheng and expressed his concerns.
"Lao Sun, we have found a lot of evidence in this matter."
"That's a good thing! Why are you so conceited and crying?" Sun Liancheng was confused.
"But all this evidence is theoretical evidence. Take this water body report for example," Guo Xuzu said as he took out a stack of materials.
"This is the conclusion given by a data professor. If the food city is built, it will produce pollutants and cause uncertain changes in the water body..."
"What happened to this evidence?"
"The word used here is 'if', which means it may have an impact," Guo Xuzu deliberately emphasized the word 'maybe'.
"We specifically asked our colleagues at the procuratorate, and they said that this is material of speculation and deduction, and according to the law, it may not be used as evidence."
"How could this happen?" Sun Liancheng asked.
"It's because the food city has not started construction. The fact that it has not started construction means that many of our conclusions are just speculations and are not convincing," Guo Xuzu continued, adding: "This is also what our comrades from the procuratorate said."
"Then we have no valuable evidence?"
"Yes!" Guo Xuzu took out some more materials.
"These are all the materials of Zhao Ruilong's Longxing Chunqiu Consulting and Evaluation Company, which is also the company that will soon be the defendant."
"These are all real evidence, including a series of transfer procedures for the mortgage transfer of Yueya Lake land, as well as a large amount of capital flow."
"Where did these things come from?" Sun Liancheng asked puzzledly.
"We went to City Bank to investigate the defendant, a vice president named Zhao Ruili."
"Zhao Ruili? Is this person Zhao Ruilong's elder sister?"
"We also have this question, but she herself denied it. In fact, she only needed to tell us the full name of the company, but she insisted on giving me all these materials."
"Old Guo, you've been talking for a long time, what do you mean?"
"Don't you understand? Our evidence is useless when it comes to environmental protection. The useful evidence is used to prove economic issues."
"It's different from what we expected, so Wu Tao and the others quit," Guo Xuzu said finally.
"Does the procuratorate have these things?"
"Of course they knew about it, but they didn't take over. They said their leaders only asked them to investigate environmental issues and they had no authority to deal with such economic issues."
"How can this be an economic problem? This is clearly a corruption problem!"
"Yes! In short, this is not just an environmental issue. Director Sun, what do you think we should do? We are a volunteer association, not an anti-corruption bureau, so many people are backing out. They are using ordinary people like us as guns!"
Hearing this, Sun Liancheng was also very hesitant.
Lao Guo is right, lawsuits require evidence.
The food city has not started construction, so there is no actual impact to speak of.
You can’t just say that I’m holding a knife and that I might kill someone and sentence me to death, right?
But on the other hand, we can’t conclude that there is no impact just because there are no facts, right?
The food city is built by the lake, and there are even buildings in the middle of the lake.
Isn't this pollution obvious?
Do we have to wait until the food city is built and then demolish it after pollution is discovered?
Moreover, this is not just a pollution issue now.
The economic problems inside also began to surface.
Could it be that someone deliberately wanted this matter to be exposed?
No matter what, we must never let our volunteers be used as "guns".
They have no defense capabilities at all.
Things have come to this point, we must not give up halfway.
I still need to discuss this matter with like-minded brothers.
The first person he thought of was Zhao Donglai, who had flirted with him at the press conference.
First of all, Zhao Donglai is a trustworthy person.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped himself at the press conference.
Secondly, Zhao Donglai is a smart man and he knows from which angle to consider things.
Talk to him, maybe there will be a good solution.
Of course, there is another important reason, which is the planner mentioned by Zhao Donglai, Qi Tongwei.
If it really doesn't work, let Zhao Donglai go find Qi Tongwei.
See what the planner has to say.
