Time quickly reached the weekend.

On Sunday, Ding Lingyan gave up resisting and confessed all her issues.

Wu Yun took the opportunity to ask: "Is there a backup of the USB drive containing Si Qingqing's videos?"

"It's on my work computer."

"What else?"

"That's all." Ding Lingyan said: "Those videos were something I had Secretary Xu Suyi of Si Qingqing..."

Wu Yun interrupted her: "Confess your own issues, don't pull others into it."

Ding Lingyan swallowed her words.

When being investigated by the Disciplinary Committee, the biggest taboo is dragging others into it.

If you don't drag others down, maybe there will be people outside helping you to pull some strings.

If you dare to bite others recklessly, people outside will only try to make you perish sooner.

The reason she mentioned Xu Suyi was partly because she had been locked in the hotel for several days consecutively, and her mind was a bit unclear.

Secondly, because Xu Suyi has no background, she wasn't afraid of retaliation from her.

Wu Yun continued to ask: "What was your purpose for collecting Si Qingqing's private videos?"

"Deputy Director Xu Jia from the Finance Bureau wanted to use Judicial Bureau's office expenses for transfer payments, which needed the director's approval, so I thought about using this method to threaten her."

She didn't say that this suggestion was provided by Xu Jia and could only shoulder the responsibility herself.

"Transfer payments?"

Wu Yun asked: "To which department is the transfer payment intended?"

"Finance Bureau."

"I understand it requires the Finance Bureau's review, I'm asking, which specific department?"

"Not any department, just the Finance Bureau."

Wu Yun paused the recording, looked up, with a slightly puzzled expression: "Finance Bureau?"

"Mm."

"You mean that the Finance Bureau is not helping other departments request office expenses, but is asking for it themselves?"

"Yes."

Wu Yun felt a bit strange and didn't quite understand but still recorded it down.

That afternoon, the Disciplinary Committee arrived at the Judicial Bureau, sealed and took away Ding Lingyan's office computer, and also searched her office thoroughly.

After they finished, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Wu Yun came out of the hotel and called Song Guanchao.

"What are you doing? Shopping with your girlfriend?"

"Jiajia is busy with a business trip these two days."

"Oh~" Wu Yun dragged out the end of the word: "So you are alone?"

"Yes."

"Treat me to dinner!"

"Sure, what do you want to eat?"

"I... hold on, I have a call coming in."

Wu Yun glanced, it was a call from Zhou Qian.

She hung up on Song Guanchao's call and connected to Zhou Qian's call.

"Qianqian, what's up?"

The two women had been in touch all the time during this period, and their relationship had heated up very quickly, becoming close confidantes.

"What do you mean, what's up, didn't we agree to have dinner together?"

"Ah?"

Wu Yun was momentarily confused, then remembered they had arranged it the day before.

But she had just arranged to have dinner with Song Guanchao...

Zhou Qian hummed lightly: "Did you forget?"

"Mm..." Wu Yun felt a bit embarrassed: "Well, I just arranged with Brother Song."

"Song Guanchao?"

"Mm."

"You guys..." Zhou Qian felt a bit disappointed, then said: "Why don't you just bring him along, come eat at my place, I'll cook."

Wu Yun was a bit unwilling, but after all, she had arranged with her earlier, it wouldn't make sense to bail on her at the last minute.

Besides, she actually knew that Zhou Qian also liked Song Guanchao.

She realized it during that time in the mountains.

"Then I'll ask him."

"No need to ask, just bring him, I'm going to buy groceries now."

With that, she hung up.

Wu Yun sighed in defeat and called Song Guanchao.

"I just remembered that I arranged to have dinner with Qianqian tonight."

"Who is Qianqian?"

"Zhou Qian ah."

"Oh, it's her... Then forget about it."

"You come over too."

"What?"

"I said, you come over to eat too, I've already told Qianqian, she's cooking."

"Isn't that inconvenient?"

"What's inconvenient? Aren't you and her getting along well?"

"Well, okay, I'll come pick you up first."

Half an hour later, Song Guanchao picked her up outside the hotel.

Song Guanchao asked: "Were you working overtime conducting the interrogation?"

"Mm."

"Did she confess everything?"

"Yes, confessed."

"By the way," Wu Yun said: "During the interrogation, I asked her why she wanted to gather Si Qingqing's dirt, do you know what she said?"

"What did she say?"

"She said she wanted Si Qingqing to sign the agreement, agreeing to let the Judicial Bureau's office expenses be handed over to the Finance Bureau for transfer payment."

"Mm, I know."

"Don't you find it strange?"

"What's strange?"

"The office expenses are not for other departments, but directly for the Finance Bureau!"

"So what? Is there a problem?"

Song Guanchao didn't find any problem with it.

Wu Yun said: "Transfer payments generally need to first confirm which department will use it, if it's for the police, then the police have to list out a table."

"For example, personnel wages or year-end bonuses. Suppose the amount is ten million, then the Judicial Bureau needs to first transfer ten million to the Finance Bureau, and then the Finance Bureau gives it to the police."

"During this time, the Finance Bureau must supervise and check the use of funds, the Audit Bureau also needs to send special personnel to supervise, to prevent the Finance Bureau from embezzling."

Even after listening, Song Guanchao still didn't feel anything wrong: "Isn't this quite normal?"

"What's normal!"

Wu Yun said: "I already said, transfer payments are always department to department, there's no saying about giving office expenses directly to the Finance Bureau."

"And I specifically asked Ding Lingyan, she also said the money was given to the Finance Bureau, not to other departments."

At this point, Song Guanchao finally understood.

He let out a slight 'oh', and asked: "Has this kind of example happened before?"

"Anyway, I haven't heard of it."

"And transfer payments have always been department to department, the Finance Bureau has always played the role of a middleman, it's function is supervising, not reallocating."

"Reallocation is the responsibility of the City Government, the Finance Bureau does not have the authority to independently exercise distribution rights."

"Weird." Song Guanchao found it a bit hard to figure out.

Could it be the Finance Bureau wants to embezzle this transfer payment fund?

Seems quite unlikely though.

Dujiang City's corruption case was only two months ago, and the whole city is rigorously preventing things like this from happening.

Moreover, would Xu Jia, a deputy director, have the guts?

Song Guanchao asked: "Can the Finance Bureau directly approve transfer payments?"

"No." Wu Yun shook her head: "The City Government definitely needs to sign off, the Secretary's office is the first step, and finally either Mayor Jiang or Mayor Zheng must sign."

That makes it even stranger.

Since the Finance Bureau can't decide directly, embezzling isn't possible either.

Moreover, it's not yet the end of the year, why are they already thinking about transfer payments?

And directly to the Finance Bureau.

Song Guanchao wasn't particularly familiar with transfer payment policies, mainly because he hadn't dealt with them before.

"I'll go to the City Committee tomorrow to ask."

There's definitely an issue here, but he couldn't figure it out.

Tomorrow, report first to Secretary Wu and then talk to Zeng Li.

This girl is always sharp-minded, and she understands the ins and outs of the system particularly well, maybe she can provide a different perspective.
