Chapter 197 Seeing Through
Qi Tongwei looked at Gao Yuliang, his eyes filled with worry.
Gao Yuliang simply waved his hand and said:
"Understood. It's only right to cooperate with the prosecutor's office. Tongwei, take Xiaoqin there."
Qi Tongwei understood immediately and said:
"Understood, teacher. When I go there... what message do I need to convey to the prosecutor's office?"
"Just say... the Public Security Bureau wants to verify the authenticity of the document index and cloud backup." A glint of light flashed in Gao Yuliang's eyes.
"Yes, teacher." Qi Tongwei nodded and led Gao Xiaoqin away.
Gao Yuliang was left alone in the living room again.
Seeing that no one was around, he took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer.
When you're feeling irritable, you should use this to keep yourself calm.
Gao Yuliang lit a cigarette and began to think.
The procuratorate has obtained a cloud backup of Liu Qingzhu's account books.
The account password is related to Gao Xiaofeng.
related?
This statement is too vague and unclear.
It's like deliberately pointing the finger at Gao Xiaofeng.
So why did Liu Qingzhu deliberately leave a document index and specifically mention Gao Xiaofeng by name?
Could it be that……
Gao Yuliang took another deep breath, and ideas gradually formed in his mind.
The only part of Liu Qingzhu's case that was verified by the Public Security Bureau was the discovery of his death.
Qi Tongwei brought back the DNA comparison results, the autopsy report, and the verification of his belongings.
The conclusion drawn was that the deceased was indeed Liu Qingzhu.
Afterwards, the combination lock was revealed, and after unlocking it, a cloud backup related to Gao Xiaofeng was obtained.
Everything that happened from here onwards came from information provided by the procuratorate.
The Public Security Bureau did not verify its authenticity.
in other words.
The prosecutor's office is like a "screenwriter" who writes the plot; whatever they write is what is transmitted to the outside world, and that's what the outside world believes.
What if the information provided by the prosecutor's office is itself false?
For example, there were no cloud backups related to Gao Xiaofeng, nor any file indexes that pointed to Gao Xiaofeng.
Even the combination lock box was fictitious.
As Gao Yuliang pondered this, he narrowed his eyes and slowly exhaled a long smoke ring.
He felt that he was getting close to the truth.
But it's still a little short.
We need to wait for Qi Tongwei's feedback.
Gao Yuliang just sat there quietly, smoking one cigarette after another.
Until the ashtray was full of cigarette butts.
When he reached for the next cigarette, he discovered that the cigarette pack was empty.
At the same time, Qi Tongwei called:
"Teacher, I've taken Xiaoqin to the group. The anti-corruption bureau has already moved into the Shanshui Group, and they've brought many IT experts to work together to crack the cloud backup account password left by Liu Qingzhu. Also..."
Qi Tongwei paused for a moment, then emphasized:
"I saw Liu Qingzhu's safe, which had already been opened. Inside, there were indeed several file indexes and a hard drive. This hard drive was the foundation of the ledger data that Liu Qingzhu had uploaded to the cloud."
Gao Yuliang asked without hesitation:
"What about the contents of the hard drive? Are you sure?"
"It's confirmed." Qi Tongwei reported truthfully to his superior.
"It's completely empty inside. According to the Anti-Corruption Bureau, all the data has been uploaded to the cloud, and the data on the hard drive will be automatically deleted upon expiration."
Upon hearing this, Gao Yuliang almost burst out laughing.
He controlled his emotions, smiled, and said "Well done" to Qi Tongwei before hanging up the phone.
Now, it's confirmed.
My speculation was completely correct.
The so-called password box, file index, and cloud backup are all bait thrown out by the procuratorate.
It was evidence deliberately fabricated by the prosecutor's office based on Liu Qingzhu's death.
Immediately after Liu Qingzhu's death, a series of pieces of evidence surfaced, all pointing directly to Gao Xiaofeng.
This is too coincidental, right?
Gao Yuliang had already made up his mind that if the procuratorate refused to show the safe and the evidence inside, its credibility would increase even more.
As soon as Qi Tongwei arrived, the procuratorate couldn't wait to hand over these crucial pieces of evidence to him for review. What was their mentality?
This was specially brought out to show Qi Tongwei, just in case he didn't believe it!
In addition, there was the completely empty hard drive.
How could there be such a coincidence that, on top of that, there's also an empty hard drive that "just happened" to expire and whose contents were automatically erased?
All of this was orchestrated by the procuratorate, or more precisely, by Xia Qing.
The goal was to use a non-existent cloud backup as a pretext to crack account passwords and openly take over and control of the Shanshui Group.
Gao Yuliang was certain that in a few days, the procuratorate's farcical performance would fall apart on its own, and those experts and engineers would transform from cracking codes to searching the Shanshui Group.
Are they trying to find other ledgers within the Shanshui Group?
As for deliberately bringing up Gao Xiaofeng, it was also to test the strength of their side and see their reaction.
If Xia Qing reacts hastily again, she can use this to prove that the relationship between Gao Xiaofeng and herself is extremely unusual!
Gao Yuliang threw the cigarette pack into the trash can and gave his final judgment:
Following Liu Qingzhu's death, a series of leaked password boxes, document indexes, and cloud backups were discovered.
It was all Xia Qing's arrangement.
Its purpose is twofold:
First, it would be a natural step to move into the Shanshui Group, facilitating subsequent search and investigation work and preparing for a breakthrough against the Shanshui Group.
Second, she would use Gao Xiaofeng as a test to see what kind of action she would take, so that Xia Qing could verify Gao Xiaofeng's status in her eyes.
Having sorted things out, Gao Yuliang let out a long sigh of relief.
He looked at the mountain of ashtrays and chuckled to himself, saying:
"Minister Xia, Minister Xia, you're too clever for your own good. Your schemes seem logically sound, but they're full of loopholes. What betrays you is your eagerness for quick success and instant benefits, trying to achieve two results with the same thing... This is a cardinal sin in military strategy."
Gao Yuliang stood up, increasingly smug, and muttered:
"A true strategist always focuses on only one thing and achieves one result. For example..."
Gao Yuliang called Qi Tongwei and gave instructions:
"Next, just hold back. Let the prosecutor's office do whatever it wants. Just remember one thing: ask Gao Xiaoqin to confirm that there is no second set of books in the group!"
After finishing the arrangements, Gao Yuliang felt a sense of relief.
I'm still not quite there yet.
Xia Qing's methods, though seemingly sophisticated, were actually a bit lacking in finesse.
It still needs more practice and refinement.
As Gao Yuliang thought this, a fleeting look of disappointment crossed his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
All that's left to do is wait quietly.
They are waiting for the prosecutor's office to put on this show, but when the time comes, the act will break down and their true colors will be revealed.
At that time, I, as the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, stepped in again and, on the grounds that the procuratorate had violated regulations in handling cases and illegally investigated legitimate private enterprises, stopped all their investigations.
In this way, the Shanshui Group managed to hold on.
The prosecutor's office returned empty-handed.
Sigh, Xia Qing.
If they can't even get past the Shanshui Group, how can they possibly surpass me, Gao Yuliang?
