(Lead) A worm was dug out in Niulan River Town of Songming County. Hu Jianmin, the team leader of a village abused his power and embezzled 96021 RMB yuan which is the land contracting fees of 65 villagers. The suspect has been reviewed by the Public Security Bureau of Songming County now. After nearly one year's secret visit and investigation by six policemen from the Economic Investigation Brigade of Songming County Public Security Bureau, they finally caught this big worm. In order to catch the suspect, the policemen ran about on the front line every day. This case lasted for a long time, complicated and had a great impact on the local society. The suspect Hu Jianmin is the team leader of a group in Niulan River Town of Songming County. In May 2007, he colluded with Ma Zhanyi, the accountant of the village to plant vegetable under the name of the village group, embezzling 96021 RMB yuan which is the land contracting fees of 65 villagers. Then he abused his power again, taking the profits as his own. In August 2007, the criminal Hu Jianmin reimbursed the expenses of 152095.98 RMB yuan in the form of temporary payment,挪用小组帐务资金进行报销. In 2009, the criminal Hu Jianmin colluded with the accountant Ma Zhanyi again, collected the land earnest money from the villagers in the name of raising funds for building houses, deceiving and misappropriating more than 500000 RMB yuan of the villagers' capital (later ruled as 480000 RMB yuan by the court). After thorough investigation by the policemen, the facts and evidence are clear. In November 2010, the suspects Hu Jianmin and Ma Zhanyi were captured. Because of being suspected of duty infringement and misappropriation of funds, they were arrested according to law by the Public Security Bureau of Songming County. The local people happily took to the streets, clapping their hands and praising that the policemen were really good. We are not afraid any more. You caught the worms and did justice for us.
