Chapter 155 Zhou Yunsheng's Death

The officialdom of Fengzhou has been purged, and officials at all levels are now extremely cautious, fearing that their superiors will go too far and arrest them as well.

The person who is most uneasy now is the mayor of Fengzhou, Zhou Yunsheng. During the New Year holidays, the phone almost kept ringing in his ears, and he begged everyone to find someone to rescue him.

He knew that if he was caught he would be dead, so in order to survive he had already started collecting the evidence accumulated over the years, preparing to make amends for his crime.

As long as Mayor Zhou does not fall, those who were arrested do not have the courage to give him up. In their eyes, Mayor Zhou did not do anything bad. He just turned a blind eye to their corruption. They only need to agree with Mayor Zhou in the democratic vote.

The account book stolen by Yu Juncang further confirmed Zhou Yunsheng's guilt, but there was no way to prove that it belonged to Zhou Yunsheng. Once the procedure was wrong, everything would be in vain.

After learning all this, Fu Shengyu became a little nervous. He didn't know whether Zhou Yunsheng had kept any evidence of his dirty work. Most importantly, he didn't know whether Feng Songkun had informed him about his arrangement for someone to shoot Yu Juncang.

Zhou Yunsheng always thought that those people from Jingzhou didn't want him to live, but in fact, those people are the ones who want him to live the most.

One night in March, the police seized a drug trafficking den and took the suspects back to the police station for interrogation overnight. Less than an hour later, a private residence of Zhou Yunsheng caught fire. The fire was so large that by the time the fire truck arrived, the entire house was burned down to its frame.

Zhou Yunsheng was found lying on his bed, a charred corpse.

Minister Li was so angry that he threw everything on the table, put his hands on his waist and asked, "Ning Wu, didn't you say you would send someone to keep an eye on it?"

Gu Ningwu shook his head. "We did send people to keep an eye on it, but the fire started too quickly and too fiercely, so they could only call the fire department and couldn't save people themselves."

"Shouldn't the nearest fire department arrive in ten minutes? Why has it been blocked for nearly an hour?"

Gu Ningwu smiled bitterly, "A person was killed in a car accident on that road. The police had to take photos to collect evidence and investigate what happened. The ambulance also had to come to rescue people, which delayed the time." Minister Li turned around in anger and asked, "How could there be such a coincidence that a car accident happened?"

"The deceased was driving under the influence of alcohol. In the other car, the man was seriously injured, the woman was slightly injured, and the child had no external injuries, but had a congenital heart disease. He is still being treated for it."

"Someone above must have taken action." Minister Li pulled Gu Ningwu's arm and walked out. "The drug dealers we arrested last night must be a big problem. Let's go. We have to keep an eye on them and make sure they don't die in vain."

Zhou Yunsheng was dead, and the people above were relieved. Fu Shengyu was also relieved. He already knew that Feng Songkun had just become a riddler and did not leave any evidence. As long as they didn't know, there was no way to trace him.

Although the traces of this incident have been wiped out, not all other things can be wiped out.

It's not all bad for Minister Li and his team. Now they can investigate Zhou Yunsheng without restraint.

When the two cases were investigated together, it was discovered that there was a huge amount of property in Zhou Yunsheng's account, and the source of the property was actually Zhou Fangwei.

Zhou Fangwei was immediately summoned to cooperate with the investigation. Zhou Fangwei came without any excuses, as if he had expected it. His attitude could be described as positive.

"Boss Zhou, Mayor Zhou has more than 50 million in his bank account. I think you gave all of this to him?"

Zhou Fangwei took out a notebook from his briefcase and pushed it towards Gu Ningwu. "Not counting the favors between relatives, I transferred a total of 63.5 million to him, into his bank card in Jin Guo."

Gu Ningwu looked through the account books, and the amounts were huge. "You are bribing!"

"On the contrary, I am trying to stop Zhou Yunsheng from accepting bribes." Facing Gu Ningwu's accusations, Zhou Fangwei retorted very calmly.

"What do you mean?" Gu Ningwu threw the notebook on the table.

"Zhou Yunsheng likes a luxurious life. In his early years, when he was the county magistrate, he received a remittance of 20,000 yuan."

"My second uncle was still alive at the time and he scolded him severely, but I knew he would not change. His salary could not support him to live the life he wanted."

"I couldn't help it. I couldn't just watch my loved ones die like this, so I took the initiative to give him money and told him not to be greedy. Over the years, his appetite has grown, but apart from taking a few worthless things like cigarettes and alcohol, he has never been greedy."

This is true. Other corrupt officials also said that they had never given money to Mayor Zhou. They just gave him two cans of tea and two bottles of wine as a favor during festivals. Sometimes Zhou Yunsheng felt that there was no place to put them at home, so he asked them to pick a few things they liked and take them back.

"If you give him money, he will naturally do things for you. It's you who is bribing him!" Gu Ningwu shouted.

Zhou Fangwei shook his head and explained slowly: "Bribery refers to the act of giving money or property to state officials in order to obtain improper benefits."

"I only gave Zhou Fangwei money and property, but I did not seek any improper benefits."

"The Zhou family's business is shipping, and the other businesses are some investments and my wife's school. Fengzhou is near the sea, but my family has been engaged in shipping since my great-grandfather's generation. No one in the entire Fengzhou can compete with my family, so I don't need him to help me with anything."

"My wife's school has no problem recruiting students. We bought the land for the school legally and in compliance with procedures. The price was higher than the market price. It is not the case that he deliberately gave the land to us."

"You can check all these." Zhou Fangwei said confidently. He had never asked Zhou Yunsheng to give him any convenience. It was because Zhou Yunsheng was the mayor that others could not do anything to him.

But committing dirty tricks is illegal in itself. He is just using Zhou Yunsheng's name to make everyone abide by the law. What's the problem with that?

"So you gave Zhou Fangwei so much money simply because you wanted him to avoid taking bribes?"

Zhou Fangwei could hear the doubt in Gu Ningwu's tone. He waved his hand nonchalantly, "Although this amount of money is not small, it is not too much for me. Moreover, this is accumulated over several decades."

Minister Li eventually detained Zhou Fangwei and investigated whether what he said was true.

After a week of investigation, Minister Li looked at the contents of the report and couldn't help asking, "Is he a fool?"

Gu Ningwu looked at the confessions of some of the officials above. Knowing that they were relatives of Mayor Zhou, they raised the price by several million each time, waiting for the bonus to be given during the New Year.

One time when we were chatting, Mayor Zhou heard us, but he didn't do anything about it. He just told us not to go too far and get caught.

Gu Ningwu remained silent for a rare moment. It was really impossible to say that someone was seeking illegal benefits, and people who gave money became victims.

During the entire investigation, only one or two people were afraid of Mayor Zhou so they expedited the procedures. The rest just followed the rules. Since they had obtained the money from other channels, they did not want to offend Mayor Zhou and ask for bribes from Boss Zhou.

The entire investigation team didn't know what to say. This money could not be considered stolen money. It could only be considered a true show of brotherhood.

Zhou Fangwei was released. He only said that if Zhou Yunsheng had done anything bad, the government would help compensate the victim. If there was no place to use the money, it would be kept for Zhou Yunsheng's children.
