Investigation leads the procuratorate and the procuratorate supports the investigation", taking the investigation and handling of crimes abusing public office related to judicial personnel as an important channel for discovering unjust and wrongful cases, and closely integrating activities such as finding clues on crimes abusing public office, filing and investigating, and the investigation of legal supervision matters, to promote the overall improvement of legal supervision work, so as to form a "1+4" legal supervision mechanism and promote the comprehensive coordination and full development of the "four major procuratorates".
