Shortly after this, the investigation and review room numbered 16 where Liu Yuan was located once again faced a crucial task.
This time the order they received came directly from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
They were ordered to assist in investigating a case of corruption and bribery.
The special task force of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection was also in deep trouble at this time. The situation they faced was exactly the same as many corruption cases they had investigated and dealt with in the past.
Zhu himself refused to admit that he had engaged in any corruption or bribery.
Afterwards, members of the CCDI task force worked tirelessly and conducted repeated carpet searches of Zhu's residence, his office, and other suspicious locations involved in the case.
However, every effort was like throwing a stone into a bottomless abyss, failing to create the slightest ripple and ultimately ending in nothing.
In desperation, the task force, with nowhere else to go, could only hold on to the last ray of hope like a lifeline, with the idea of giving it a try and trying their luck, with an uneasy mood, and pinned all their hopes on Liu Yuan, who had successfully seized corrupt funds many times and had made many outstanding achievements.
Liu Yuan knew very well that the task assigned to him this time was as difficult as ascending to heaven, the difficulty was beyond imagination, and the responsibility he shouldered was extremely heavy.
However, at this critical moment, he did not choose to escape or shrink back, but stepped forward without hesitation and resolutely accepted this challenge full of difficulties, obstacles and tremendous pressure.
He forced himself to be extremely alert, as if his whole body was injected with a powerful force, and he did not dare to allow himself to slack off or feel lazy even for a moment.
During the entire search process, he was fully focused and devoted to this arduous task, like a tireless precision machine running at high speed.
During the entire search process, Liu Yuan fully demonstrated his unique ability of meticulous observation, not missing any clues, and conducting an extremely detailed screening of every subtle detail that might hide key clues.
Suddenly, his sharp eyes caught an unusual sight - the ceiling of the house seemed to be a little strange, and its height was obviously lower than the normal level, about 10 to 20 centimeters lower!
This small discovery instantly aroused Liu Yuan's high alertness and special attention.
He thought to himself, "Is there a hidden secret here?"
With full of doubts and strong curiosity, Liu Yuan decided to immediately conduct further investigation on this suspicious ceiling.
Sure enough, when they carefully opened the seemingly ordinary ceiling, a jaw-dropping scene appeared - bundles of cash fell down like a downpour, and scattered on the ground.
The mountain of banknotes in front of me was dizzying, and it was impossible to count how many there were at once.
After an intense and orderly inventory, the final result was even more shocking - the amount of cash seized was as high as more than 200 million!
Such a huge amount of stolen money was hidden in such a secluded place. If Liu Yuan had not discovered it in time with his extraordinary insight, I am afraid that these ill-gotten gains would continue to go unpunished.
This time, the evidence is irrefutable and there is no way to deny or escape legal sanctions.
Zhu finally truthfully confessed the source of some of the corrupt funds and actively reported the criminal facts of corruption committed by several suspects.
Even so, there is still more than 100 million yuan in cash whose source cannot be explained.
In the end, he was sentenced to life imprisonment by the court, deprived of his political rights for life, and all his personal property was confiscated; the property and interest he received from bribes were recovered according to law and turned over to the state treasury.
The court held that, since he truthfully confessed his crimes after being arrested, took the initiative to explain some criminal facts that the supervisory authority had not yet grasped, admitted his guilt and repented, actively returned the stolen money, and all the stolen money, stolen goods and interest involved in the case had been recovered, and he had made major meritorious contributions, he had statutory and discretionary mitigating circumstances, and he could be given a mitigating sentence according to law. The court then made the above judgment.
