Siheyuan, my new life

The experienced Deputy Minister Yan had already seen that Fan Kun was at a loss at this moment, so he immediately said in a stern tone: "Fan Kun, you should also know our policy. Leniency to those who confess and severity to those who resist. With the information we have now and the stolen money and stolen goods seized from the underground secret room behind the casino, you will definitely not escape the fate of being shot. It's a pity that you are still so young. I hope you can take the initiative to explain the problem, report it, and strive to make meritorious contributions. This can also save your own life."

Vice Minister Yan's words were the last straw that broke the camel's back. Fan Kun seemed to be inspired and said anxiously: "Leader, I will confess, I will confess everything, I don't want to die."

Afterwards, Fan Kun began to pour out all the information asked by the interrogator.

Deputy Minister Yan was sitting nearby, listening to Fan Kun's confession. He picked up a piece of paper and pen, quickly wrote a line of words, and pushed it in front of the interrogator. The interrogator glanced at the content and suddenly asked: "Fan Kun, just now you mentioned that someone in the Jinmen Municipal Bureau tipped you off. Can you tell me who they were?"

Fan Kun was now telling us everything he knew. He answered without hesitation: "Deputy Director Liang of the Jinmen Municipal Bureau, Captain Kong of the Public Security Brigade, and Captain Xue of the First Team of the Public Security Brigade have all informed us. Every time someone reports something, the Public Security Brigade will call the casino in advance to inform them to prepare before they set off. I give Captain Kong of the Public Security Brigade 200 yuan and Captain Xue of the First Team of the Public Security Brigade 100 yuan each month. Deputy Director Liang gives him more than 10,000 yuan in cash every year. I also prepare generous gifts for them during festivals. In addition to various cigarettes and alcohol, each person has a small yellow croaker. The one for Deputy Director Liang is a large yellow croaker. In the past, there was also Captain Xiao of the Second Team of the Public Security Brigade, but it has stopped since he was dismissed."

Deputy Minister Yan stood up and walked out of the interrogation room. Since these people were involved in the case, they had to be arrested overnight. Otherwise, when they heard the news tomorrow, something might happen.

Walking into Director Yufeng's office, Director Yufeng, who was in charge of unified command, saw that Deputy Minister Yan had a serious expression and quickly asked: "What's wrong? Is Fan Kun a tough nut to crack?"

Deputy Minister Yan shook his head: "That guy is just a show-off. He is confessing. Just now, Fan Kun confessed that Deputy Director Liang of the Municipal Bureau, Captain Kong of the Public Security Brigade, Captain Xue of the First Team of the Public Security Brigade, and Captain Xiao, the former captain of the Second Team, all tipped off the casino and accepted gifts from Fan Kun. Deputy Director Liang alone received more than 10,000 yuan in cash every year. During the holidays, Fan Kun also gave these people large and small yellow croakers. I am worried that the news that the Dafa Casino was taken down will spread tomorrow, so these people must be arrested tonight."

Director Yufeng did not hesitate at all. He immediately picked up the phone on his desk and gave a few instructions. Soon, two captains of the action team walked into the director's office. Tonight's operation was possible thanks to the presence of a company of soldiers from the garrison. Otherwise, the relevant departments in Tianjin would not have been able to handle the operation with the limited manpower.

Director Yufeng immediately arranged the arrest mission. This time the action team worked together with the garrison. In addition to the six members of the action team, each arrest team also included five soldiers from the garrison.

Next, based on Fan Kun’s explanation, the relevant departments sent people overnight to arrest more than a dozen cadres at all levels from other departments involved.

At this time, a staff member of the relevant department accompanied a young officer in the uniform of an army major to Director Yufeng's office. After introducing each other, Deputy Minister Yan personally led a battalion of Tianjin garrison troops and two trucks full of wooden boxes to the Dafa Casino to recover the stolen goods.

When Deputy Minister Yan and the major officer, accompanied by Fang Zhiyong, walked into the underground secret room and saw the valuables there with their own eyes, Deputy Minister Yan snorted heavily: "The father and son of the Fan family really know how to make money!"

Subsequently, with the cooperation of relevant departments and the garrison, all the property in the secret room was transported out of the secret room little by little. After careful counting, they were immediately packed and sealed, and then loaded onto trucks. The work was not completed until after six in the morning.

At the same time, according to Fan Kun's explanation, people from the relevant departments searched the next room and found all the account books, two large boxes of loose banknotes, and a wooden box containing various bills.

After Deputy Minister Yan consulted the headquarters in Beijing, he asked the garrison to send a company of troops to escort the stolen money and goods back to Beijing together with personnel from relevant departments. The account books, bills and loose banknotes were left in the relevant departments in Tianjin.

Although they had not slept all night, the personnel from the relevant departments were all excited. Being able to solve such a serious case made these guys feel as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Although everyone's eyes were bloodshot, no one complained or felt tired. When they were thirsty, they took a few sips of tea that had been prepared by the logistics department. When they were hungry, they picked up the pancakes, eggs and pickles and ate them in big mouthfuls.

It was only with a wave of his hand that Vice Minister Yan asked the logistics personnel to go to the restaurant selling breakfast outside to buy the money and bring it back to comfort the staff and soldiers stationed there who had been busy all night. Of course, the relevant departments in Tianjin did not have this funding, so it was Vice Minister Yan who asked the personnel to seize the receipts and loose banknotes from the casino and take out a portion of them as case handling funds. After all, the food problem of so many people must be guaranteed.

According to Fan Kun's account, personnel from relevant departments drove jeeps out continuously. In addition to the people from the Municipal Bureau who were successfully arrested, they also captured the director and deputy director of the police station in the area where the Dafa Casino was located, the director of the street office, as well as public security personnel from several police stations and clerks from the street office involved in the case.

Then personnel from relevant departments searched the homes of all those arrested, and even captured three family members who tried to violently obstruct the search.

With so many cadres at all levels being arrested, especially the news that the first deputy secretary Fan Hongtu and his son, and Deputy Director Liang of the Municipal Bureau were also directly arrested by relevant departments, all departments at all levels were talking about it for a while.

Several key leaders quickly learned about the situation through their respective connections. Everyone had a gloomy face and sat in their offices, cursing Fan Hongtu inwardly. Who could have thought that this domineering guy would allow his son to open a casino to make money crazily? These people couldn't understand what was going on in Fan Hongtu's mind. For leading cadres at their level, money was of no use to them. Their daily life, medical care and other aspects were all provided by the state. What was the point of making so much money?
