South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 373 Zhou Bingyi Calls

"Among them, the eldest son is named Zhou Bingyi, who is also the newly appointed executive vice mayor of Harbin. He is the son-in-law of Hao Jinlong, the former governor of Heilongjiang Province. His wife is Hao Dongmei, who is currently the director of surgery at a hospital in our province."

"The second child in their family is named Zhou Rong. She is currently a middle school teacher in our city. Her husband is named Feng Huacheng, who works in a publishing house. They have a daughter named Feng Yue."

"The youngest one is Zhou Bingkun. He currently runs a restaurant and a bookstore. His wife is Zheng Juan. They have two sons. One is Zhou Nan and the other is Zhou Cong. However, I heard that Zhou Nan is not Zhou Bingkun's biological son. I don't know the details."

"So where do they live now?" Yuan Mu nodded slowly and then asked.

"Zhou Zhigang just retired this year. He and his wife Li Suhua live in an old area called Xihua. They own two houses."

"Vice Mayor Zhou lives in his wife's home, which is Governor Hao's home. Zhou Rong lives in the dormitory assigned by the school. Zhou Bingkun lives in the store."

"Okay, I get it. You've worked hard on this." Yuan Mu nodded.

"Leader, this is what I should do." Song Zian said quickly.

"You go first."

"Okay, leader, please call me if you need anything." Song Zian nodded and turned to leave.

Looking at Song Zian's departing back, Yuan Mu seemed to be thinking about something. This little Song also began to delve into his own thoughts. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, but it didn't matter. As long as he did his job well and didn't break the law, there would be no problem. He would definitely give him a push before he was transferred.

Time passed slowly, and soon a month had passed. It was already mid-September. On this day, Liu Jun came to Yuan Mu's office to report on his work.

"Master, Song Si's illegal and criminal behavior has been basically investigated."

"Tell me, what crimes has he been involved in?" Yuan Mu asked nonchalantly. In his eyes, this Song Si was just a low-level punk who could be killed with ease if he wanted to. But after all, he sent people to cause trouble in his jurisdiction, so he had to worry a little.

"If you don't investigate this Song Si, you won't know. Once you investigate, you will be shocked. Not only did he bribe officials at all levels, but he also intentionally hurt, threatened, and intimidated local residents during the demolition project. He also gathered a group of thugs to participate in this matter. He is the biggest mastermind behind this."

"For so many years, he has been engaged in demolition and construction work, but most of the work he got was from grassroots officials. He relied on the money in his hands, which caused extremely bad effects in many places. They dared not speak out."

"Did you bring the file?" Yuan Mu nodded and asked.

"I brought it. This is it." Liu Jun nodded and took out a thick file from his bag.

"Wow, it's so thick!" Yuan Mu said in surprise.

"Yes, he was involved in too many crimes, and the records are very detailed."

"Oh, by the way, have Teng Deqiang and the others been caught?" Yuan Mu asked while flipping through the files.

"They have all been arrested. Teng Deqiang was hiding in the neighboring province. Song Si caught him. We sent a request for assistance to the neighboring province through the Provincial Public Security Bureau, and finally caught him."

"Well, well done. Let's just do what we have to do next. I guess Song Si will have to stay in prison for more than ten or twenty years, right?" Yuan Mu nodded.

"Basically, he has persecuted many families, and he has forced other women to have sex with him many times, which constitutes rape. Combined with his other crimes, even if he doesn't die, he will be sentenced to life imprisonment, and at the very least, more than 18 years in prison."

"Okay, such scum should go to prison to reflect on their actions. Let's leave it at that. You will handle the follow-up. You don't need to report this to me in the future."

"Also, you can't put down your work on public security in the district. Remember, public security is very important. Whether the people can live and work in peace and contentment depends on you. Tell the people below that I will apply for a stability maintenance fund for your district bureau to subsidize comrades who work overtime."

"Okay, then I'll thank you on behalf of my brothers." Hearing this, Liu Jun immediately became excited.

As for the matter of money, Liu Jun doesn't really need it, because he has never lacked money since he was a child. However, most of his brothers have families and they need money. Now Yuan Mu wants to apply for a stability maintenance fund for them. How can he not be happy?

Although Yuan Mu no longer paid attention to the matter, the final verdict of Song Si was still passed to his ears through Song Zian. He was sentenced to suspended death penalty for a host of crimes. He was not charged with hiring a killer. If he sent Teng Deqiang to Lianghong KTV specifically to kill people, then he would be guilty. But the key is not like this.

Some time ago, Song Si and his group were sentenced at the Harbin Intermediate People's Court. Song Si was sentenced to death for various crimes and the execution was suspended for two years. Now he is estimated to stay in prison for at least twenty years.

Teng Deqiang's fate was more miserable. Among the three people who died that day, one was murdered and he was directly sentenced to death by the court.

The rest of Song Si's subordinates have all received prison sentences, Xuanteng Company has also been confiscated and will be auctioned off in the future. Almost all of Song Si's assets have been confiscated. From now on, only the legend of Song Si remains in the world, but the real person is no longer seen.

. . . . . . . . .

Time quickly entered October. It was already chilly in the Northeast in October, so everyone started to wear more clothes. The weather was still very cold in the morning and evening.

That day, Yuan Mu was working in the office when he suddenly received a call from Zhou Bingyi.

"Hello, is this Secretary Yuan?"

"It's Deputy Mayor Zhou. Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Yuan Mu was puzzled. What did Zhou Bingyi want to talk to him about?

Although he is the executive vice mayor and has the power to oversee situations in various districts and counties in Harbin, Yuan Mu is a member of the municipal party committee standing committee. He usually reports directly to the secretary and the mayor on his work. Yuan Mu does not take the new vice mayor seriously.

In terms of the power contained in the position, Yuan Mu's position as district party secretary, at the level of member of the municipal party committee standing committee, is higher than that of deputy mayor. He has run Daoli District so well in recent years. If he manages things properly, he may be able to take a step into the position of mayor.

But Zhou Bingyi is not like that. Normally, the executive vice mayor must have served as deputy secretary before becoming mayor. Of course, if Zhou Bingyi has this background, then just pretend he never said it.

The deputy secretary and the standing committee member of the economically developed region are the two most likely to take over the mayor's position, and everyone else has to stand aside.
