The Commission for Discipline Inspection has a unique trick to fight the tiger： dressing up as a plumber to find clues and finding corrupt officials by jingling.
CCTV News:
Early spring in Beijing in 2014
At nine o’clock on the weekend morning, a mysterious figure walked into CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection’s office. As soon as he entered the door, he took a deep breath and then pulled off the batteries in the two mobile phones he carried with him.
CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection staff asked, "What do you mean?"
The bearer was slightly nervous: "I’m afraid."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I’m afraid someone will do something to me. To tell you the truth, I changed my license plate three times along the way!"
This mysterious figure came to report Wu Changshun, then vice chairman of Tianjin CPPCC and director of public security bureau.

Boldly "innovate" anti-surveillance: let reporters report to CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and turn on the radio to interfere with eavesdropping
In March 2014, the Central Fifth Inspection Team was stationed in Tianjin. During the inspection, I received more than 5,000 reports, more than 3,000 calls and more than 4,000 visits, a lot of which involved Wu Changshun. However, many whistleblowers were afraid of Wu Changshun’s power and did not dare to be interviewed by the inspectors.
"Avoid sensitive places and go to Beijing to talk." The staff of the inspection team boldly put forward this idea, so that the reporter could travel from Tianjin to Beijing and report Wu Changshun’s problem to CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection smoothly.
The reporter’s in-depth talk in CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection made the clues of the case gradually clear.
Considering that Wu Changshun has worked in the public security system for many years, his special status and extraordinary anti-investigation ability, every move of the inspection team staff can be described as cautious.
Meeting rooms and dormitories are fully scanned by special personnel with instruments to prevent eavesdropping; Turn on the radio during the meeting to interfere with eavesdropping signals; All the work information of the inspectors will not be discussed on the mobile phone; When studying problems, they even go to the river and pretend to take a walk … …
Under the seemingly calm surface, the inspection team conducted an in-depth understanding of the Wu Changshun issue in an orderly manner. By the end of the inspection tour, many reported problems had been settled, and Wu Changshun was not alarmed.
In fact, every problem surfaced, and behind the fall of every "tiger", there was a quiet dark battle. The struggle between discipline inspection staff and corrupt elements is a contest of wisdom and a test of courage.
Find clues in detail: find out "five fake cadres" in one sentence and dig out corrupt officials at the department level in a jingle.
The serious violation of discipline of Lu Enguang, a "five fake cadres", surfaced because of a discovery made by the Central Leading Group for Inspection Work during its inspection of the Ministry of Justice.
On the application for joining the Party written by Lu Enguang in 1990, there was such a sentence: "Under the guidance of Comrade Deng Xiaoping’s southern tour speech", which aroused the vigilance of the patrol cadres. "What year is the southern tour speech?" Everyone thought of the well-known lyric "It was a spring in 1992" in The Story of Spring, thus, the problem of Lu Enguang’s falsification of Party membership materials exposed the clues.

After a hole was torn open, the inspection team successively found serious violations of discipline such as Lu Enguang’s age fraud, academic qualifications fraud, party membership materials fraud, work experience fraud, family situation fraud, and buying officials all the way, and the "five fake cadres" fell.
If Lu Enguang’s "Time Travel" version of the application for joining the Party is like a joke, then Xiao’s composition really falls on a "jingle".
In 2015, during the inspection tour of Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, the First Inspection Team of Hubei Provincial Party Committee heard a local jingle: "We are poor here, with nothing but ‘ Five rich officials ’ 。” The speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart. The inspection team focused on this, thoroughly investigated the reasons and found out the clues of one department-level cadre and three department-level cadres. This departmental cadre is Xiao Zuowen, then the deputy governor of Enshi Prefecture.
After investigation, Xiao Zuowen seriously violated the rules of honesty and self-discipline and accepted the gift money; Take advantage of his position to seek benefits for others and accept bribes in the selection and appointment of cadres and enterprise management; Seriously violate socialist morality and commit adultery with others. Xiao Zuowen was expelled from the party and dismissed from public office. In April 2015, he was transferred to the procuratorate for legal treatment.
Not only for heavyweight officials, but also for the "small officials" around the masses, the staff of the discipline inspection organs have not taken it lightly.
In 2015, when the discipline inspection cadres of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Mabian Yi Autonomous County in Sichuan Province visited Houchi Village in Rongding Town, they chatted with the villagers and learned the story of a "living dead" in the village.
A villager went to the town postal savings bank to handle business, but was told that he had died. This became a "joke" in the villagers’ mouths, saying that the bank was "so confused". However, the staff of the Commission for Discipline Inspection found it inappropriate: "Villagers’ deaths are generally reported by village committees. Is there something fishy in this?"
After investigation, it turned out that Yan Du Hu Mei, then a village clerk, took advantage of the opportunity of being in charge of the declaration of the minimum living allowance in his village to defraud the identity information of the villager and declare the minimum living allowance, and after the declaration was successful, he concealed the matter and took the low living allowance. Later, because the bank changed the passbook, it was necessary to provide the household registration book and ID number of the villager. In order to continue to take the low-income insurance, Yan Du Humei forged the proof that the villager had died, and defrauded the town government to seal it and handed it over to the bank for a new passbook.
In July 2015, Yan Du Hu Mei was severely investigated and punished and was expelled from the party.
Unannounced visits and surprise attacks to find a breakthrough: disguised as plumbers and surprise offices
"Hearing and seeing" should be practiced, and "dark energy" should also be used.
In 2014, an official of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Nanchuan District of Chongqing said in an interview: "When we go out for unannounced visits, we always wear casual clothes and sports shoes, and run when things are wrong. If it is really not good, we can only take out the work permit of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. On one occasion, we received a report from the masses that a public servant was building a new house by himself. I had to borrow a set of plumber’s work clothes to wear on my body before I joined the construction team. "
China discipline inspection and supervision newspaper once reported that the discipline inspection team of a certain department received a tip-off letter, reflecting that there was a problem of private use of buses in its jurisdiction, and someone drove the bus home after work. In order to verify this clue, the staff of the discipline inspection team took a stroll after dinner and went to a residential area for verification. They found the bus reflected in the report letter and took photos with their mobile phones to collect evidence. When leaving the community, the comrade was stopped by the security guard for "cross-examination" on the spot. After patiently explaining and showing his work permit, the misunderstanding was resolved. The security guard lamented, "Your Commission for Discipline Inspection is also hard enough!"
Unannounced visits, so that the discipline inspection staff can collect more materials; And assault, often can have unexpected gains.
On a weekend in December 2014, Ning Yanling, the leader of the Eighth Inspection Team of the Central Committee, who was responsible for inspecting the Party Group of China Unicom, and a patrol cadre were sitting on the sofa in the office of Chang Xiaobing, then Party Secretary and Chairman of China Unicom.
Chang Xiaobing’s secretary never dreamed that the leader of the Central Leading Group for Inspection Work would come uninvited on weekends. After a pause, he dialed the telephone of Chang Xiaobing. Half an hour later, Chang Xiaobing hurried in from outside the building with a layer of sweat oozing from his forehead.
In this unexpected assault, the staff of the Central Inspection Team found dozens of unopened high-end mobile phones and some high-end handicrafts in Chang Xiaobing’s cabinet; There are gold and silver jewelry scattered in drawers, and there are more than a dozen light necklaces; Behind a locked door in the office, there are hundreds of precious gifts filled with half a room, including famous cigarettes, famous wines, famous teas, calligraphy and paintings, handicrafts and so on.
Taking this as a breakthrough, Chang Xiaobing admitted that he had some problems, such as ignoring political rules, violating the discipline of honesty, and improper selection and employment.
Chang Xiaobing, the former chairman of China Telecom, was sentenced to six years in prison for accepting bribes.
In July 2016, Chang Xiaobing was expelled from the Party, dismissed from public office and transferred to judicial organs for serious violation of political discipline, organizational discipline and integrity discipline. In May 2017, the Intermediate People’s Court of Baoding City, Hebei Province publicly pronounced that Chang Xiaobing was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment for accepting bribes, and all the property obtained from accepting bribes was confiscated.
On the battlefield of anti-corruption struggle, where there is no smoke, the contest between discipline inspection staff and corrupt elements is still going on … …
Fortunately, the current overwhelming situation of anti-corruption has taken shape, and a total of 440 party member cadres and other middle-ranking cadres at or above the provincial level have been put on file for review; More than 8,900 cadres at the disciplinary bureau level; Dispose of more than 63,000 county-level cadres; Dispose of 278,000 grassroots party member cadres; A total of 3,453 fugitives were recovered … … Behind the anti-corruption, there is no forbidden zone, full coverage and zero tolerance, and it is inseparable from the impartial discipline of the discipline inspection workers to overcome difficulties.
Five years of outstanding achievements, but there is still a long way to go in the future. The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized that "at present, the situation of the anti-corruption struggle is still severe and complicated, and the determination to consolidate the overwhelming situation and win the overwhelming victory must be rock-solid".
Standing at a new historical starting point, we are convinced that under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, the vast number of discipline inspection staff will surely tighten the screws of managing the party and the party with perseverance and perseverance on the road forever, promote the comprehensive and strict development of the party and win an overwhelming victory in the anti-corruption struggle!
