The next day, not long after going to work, Hu Guangcheng went to the county magistrate's office again.

After saluting and greetings, Hu Guangcheng began to report: "County magistrate, when he first went in yesterday, he asked him about gambling, but he didn't admit it at all, and scolded the police officers, which was rampant. When I asked him the second time, he was still like that, shaking his head like a drum, saying that it was a persecution of him. After the police showed Mu Xiaoyu's relevant testimony, he was dumbfounded immediately, but he still did not clearly admit the gambling accusations, but confronted them with silence.

In the middle of the night, he clamored to see this and that, but after the police sternly refused, he said he wanted to see me. After making him wait for about an hour, I went inside to meet him. It's been less than a whole day, not to mention how embarrassed he is when he looks like a bear, and when he sees me, he cries bitterly, saying that now the wall is falling and everyone is pushing, and everyone wants to step on him. It's close to me, and wants me to let him go.

I told him, don't leave anything to chance, don't think that the old account is not settled, and don't expect anyone to save him, only he can save him. When I said this, he froze, and after a while, he insisted that he had heard it wrong, and asked me to repeat it. After listening to it for the second time, he muttered for a while, sighed, said 'It's time to settle the old account', and then recounted the whole process. This is a transcript of the interrogation of him. As he spoke, Hu Guangcheng handed over a wad of papers.

Chu Tianqi took the paper, skipped the branches in front of him, and went directly to the main stem:

Question: "You must explain carefully, there can be no disclosure, there can be no tampering, you are responsible for what you say." ”

Answer: "It's been a few months, after all, so I'll try to remember it as much as I can, and make sure that it's all 100% in my mind." On the night of gambling, I was on the spot, and I also played a few times, but I pressed a total of five treasures, and each time I bet 35 yuan. The two treasures were bet, and the three treasures were biased, and the total was ninety-five yuan. When the gambling police arrived, I squatted on the wall of the door with my head in my hands, just like everyone else. Among those gamblers, there was a 'yellow hair' who stood in front of me and touched me lightly with his heel.

At first, I didn't know, but slowly I realized that I was told to run. I didn't have time to think about it, and when I saw an opportunity, I squatted and moved to the outhouse, and slowly reached the courtyard, and I didn't know whether it was from the toilet or the cowshed, and jumped into the neighbor's yard. It wasn't until the police evacuated that I ran out of the consulate's house. After a few days, I found out that the 'yellow hair' was Mu Xuejun's son, so it was no wonder that he let me go. But who would have thought that when that kid was committing crimes elsewhere, he would mention these heavy sesame seeds and rotten grains again. If you had known this earlier, it would have been better to let it be caught at the beginning, anyway, the law does not blame the public, so why bother to suffer foreign crimes now. ”

Putting down the paper, Chu Tianqi said: "Look at the explanation above, it doesn't seem to be anything, could he just do this, is it possible?"

"The county magistrate, and later he also confessed to other township cadres. Hu Guangcheng said, handing over a note, "This is a list that I specially copied according to the content of the confession materials." ”

Taking the note, Chu Tianqi swept the above names and smiled: "These names are definitely not wronged, they have played in Shuangshanzui more than once." ”

During last year's research, because he was chasing "curly hair" and "bald head", Chu Tianqi went to Shuangshanzui at night and saw some faces through the window glass. The next day, on the public notice board on the wall of the township government, the names of these people corresponded.

Although Hu Guangcheng doubted Chu Tianqi's words, he did not doubt the authenticity. He has been taught, as long as the county magistrate wants to know something, there is nothing he can't know. Until now, he didn't understand how the county magistrate could master his black materials. After a pause, he asked tentatively: "County magistrate, look at his current confession......

"As I said earlier, he bitten everyone out, these people have been punished, it can be said that everyone knows everything, and now it makes no sense to say it. If everyone chews on what is left of others, the trial of a hundred people may only be equivalent to one confession. After a pause, Chu Tianqi changed the topic, "I said that you are solely responsible for this matter, and I believe you." ”

Hearing this, the county magistrate was not satisfied with the result, but he didn't say it clearly, and it was inconvenient for him to ask, so go back and think about it. Thinking of this, Hu Guangcheng replied: "County magistrate, I will go back and review the interrogation records carefully, focusing on seeing if there are any omissions or inconsistencies with the facts." ”

"Okay, it's up to you, listen to you. Chu Tianqi nodded his hand.

Getting up from his seat and bidding farewell to the county magistrate, Hu Guangcheng left the county magistrate's office.

……

When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Chu Tianqi put down the pen in his hand, leaned on the back of the chair and stretched.

"Tuk tuk", there was a knock at the door.

In the direction of the door, Chu Tianqi said, "Come in." ”

The door opened, and Hu Guangcheng entered the house. At nearly four o'clock in the afternoon, Hu Guangcheng made an appointment by phone, and Chu Tianqi asked him to come over at this point.

Hu Guangcheng was happy, and said as he walked: "County magistrate, you are still as wise as a torch." Sure enough, we were negligent and there was a big mistake, and we dug it out. ”

"Really, sit down. Chu Tianqi gestured.

After thanking him, Hu Guangcheng sat down on the chair and said: "I found him twice during the day today, and I personally interrogated him, so he could explain honestly." At first, he still pretended to be confused, or he just talked about other things, and sometimes he simply responded silently. Then I told him, I said you don't want to leave anything to chance, no one will catch you, maybe someone is waiting to see your jokes. I also told him that if I take 10,000 steps back, even if someone really intercedes, I will never buy face, and everyone is equal before the law.

When I said this, he groaned for a long time, and then glared at me fiercely, obviously hating me to the core, hating my fair and selfless attitude. However, he still gave an explanation, and explained an extremely important matter. According to his confession, a large number of people entered the house at that time, and the person who took the lead clearly said, 'It's really a repeated teaching, and you big county magistrates know about it, no wonder he said that he was accurate when he caught one, and it was really true', and the police next to him also echoed him.

A few days after the arrest, he leaked out the words of the city police, and as a result, many people heard about it, and they all suspected that the county magistrate had brought these policemen away, and some people had a misunderstanding of the county magistrate. He said he now regrets it very much, regretting that his mouth was too big and he spits on everything. He also thought about apologizing to the county magistrate for this matter, but he felt that he was really shameless to see the county magistrate, and he didn't know how to speak. ”

Chu Tianqi answered: "Of course, I don't care about other people's unintentional statements, but I can't let them go as they are intentionally spreading rumors, slandering, and spreading. It's not that I'm not overmeasured, it's that I can't encourage this kind of unhealthy tendency, and I can't encourage the arrogance of such people. There is all kinds of evidence to show that he was the initiator of that rumor, and that he deliberately spread it in order to drive a wedge between me, the village cadres, and the villagers. ”

"Yes, yes, that's what the county magistrate said. I also suspect that he deliberately spread the word, and that he could have done it with his character. It's just that at that time, he said that he had a headache, and we had to stop the interrogation first out of humanity. After a while, I will arrange an interrogation again and ask him to give a complete account of this matter, and I will give an explanation to the county magistrate. Hu Guangcheng agreed.

"He did it, he has to have the courage to admit it, where did the original madness go?" Chu Tianqi said, "Actually, I have already understood this matter clearly, let him explain, not only to see his attitude, but also to give him a chance." ”

"Yes, what he did must be admitted. Speaking of this, Hu Guangcheng said tentatively: "If he confesses this matter, it will be considered thorough and with a correct attitude." ”

Chu Tianqi snorted: "I said, this is to ask him to have an attitude." It's not new, I've known it for a long time, and he probably understood it. The reason why he is holding this up is just a means of confrontation. ”

Hearing the strangeness of the county magistrate's tone, Hu Guangcheng hurriedly asked: "County magistrate, if he confesses this matter, what else do you need to dig into?"

"What are the aspects to dig deep? He can ...... this problem" Halfway through the words, Chu Tianqi smiled "hehe", "You are a professional police officer, and your professionalism is definitely not comparable to me, after all, I am a halfway monk as the director of public security." I'm still the same sentence, it's up to you to deal with it, I trust you. ”

"Oh, okay. Hu Guangcheng nodded vaguely, he was really a little confused now.

"It's been hard these days, we must pay attention to the combination of work and rest," Chu Tianqi waved his hand, "Please go back." ”

"Thank you, County Governor. After speaking, Hu Guangcheng stood up and walked out of the county magistrate's office.

Looking at the figure that disappeared at the door, Chu Tianqi showed a knowing smile.

……

Hu Guangcheng didn't have Chu Tianqi's good mood, so he couldn't laugh at all.

Originally, when he just went to the county magistrate's office, Hu Guangcheng was full of confidence. That kid now even admits to spreading rumors, that is, admits to selling stink to the county magistrate, which is said to be strong enough, and the county magistrate should be satisfied. Hu Guangcheng felt at the time that the county magistrate should be waiting for the news, but he was a little obstructive and did not say it explicitly.

At that time, I was very conceited and entered the county magistrate's house, but I didn't expect the county magistrate to have already grasped these circumstances, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with this kind of explanation. The county magistrate used the rhetoric of "you have full authority to deal with it", which was clearly to let himself come up with a satisfactory result, but he did not understand the true intention of the county magistrate now.

Suddenly, Hu Guangcheng had a flash of inspiration: the reason why the county magistrate was vague was clearly to investigate whether the kid had slandered him. But what the kid confessed is about the same as what he has mastered. ......What else?

As soon as the strange idea came out, Hu Guangcheng immediately denied it: the county magistrate would never ask for something out of nothing, and he was not that kind of person.

What could it be? Hu Guangcheng muttered, continuing to recall what the county magistrate had said, and especially carefully pondering the phrase "you have full authority to deal with it."
