Chapter 129: Self-Defeating (Medium)

Hearing these three words, Li Jinming couldn't help but smile bitterly, and thought to himself: You reminded me, why didn't I prepare for it earlier?

"We are not asking you and your website to correct the previous report, but we hope that you will fully understand and reflect the actual situation of our village in the follow-up report, so as to avoid the recurrence of misunderstandings like the 'Hongmen Banquet' you just thought. "We didn't say we'd do a follow-up. Liu Hui said. "Then are you on annual leave in this town?" "It is our freedom to do follow-up reports or not, and how to report them, please Mr. Li and your village committee do not interfere." Ah Zhe said his most polite sentence of the day, "Farewell." ”

"Wait!" Li Jinming shouted, walked quickly to the two of them, trembled twice in the pocket of his **** coat, and took out two envelopes, "Two, we will not interfere with you, I just hope you can report the affairs of our village in a comprehensive and detailed manner." We are sincere in this. He subconsciously grabbed the envelope in his hand and handed it to the two of them.

Liu Hui was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that Brother Cheng took it, he hesitated and took it. He guessed what was in the envelope, but he knowingly asked, "Mr. Li, what's in here?" and "Our ...... Sort of a little bit of our meaning. Li Jinming turned his face away from them.

Ah Zhe reached into the envelope, drew a dozen hundred yuan bills to reveal his head, and said with a smile: "Hmm...... Does this mean that this is also your normal reception expenses?" Li Jinming blushed and did not answer. "Smack", Ah Zhe's hand slammed and threw the envelope far away. The envelope hit the table in the glide, then fell to the ground, and several bills were scattered.

"We are not corrupt elements!" Ah Zhi said to the upright people who refused to accept red envelopes in the anti-corruption and clean government public service advertisements, and his voice was like thunder, "You underestimate the professional ethics of our Yiteng reporters, and you want to buy us, but there is no way! This might as well be creative with a Hongmen banquet! Ask me who I imagine you to be? Don't you want us to make a comprehensive and detailed report? Okay, now I know who you are and what the comprehensive and detailed situation looks like!"

Seeing this, Liu Hui also threw out the envelope in the same way as Brother Cheng, and then he heard Brother Cheng say to him, "Let's go!"

The two were about to leave the private room, but Ah Zhe suddenly remembered something, turned around and yelled at Li Jinming: "Soft doesn't work, you should come hard next, right? Tell you, we have been staying in this town for the past two days, and we are still staying in a hotel, and if we have the ability, we will send a killer to kill us! Anyway, as soon as something happens to us, the website headquarters will immediately call the police and announce the whole process of our investigation of the scandal here, and then netizens across the country will be able to see at a glance who is the biggest suspect!" After speaking, he opened the door and walked out with Liu Hui behind him, and then slammed the door with a "bang".

Li Jinming was left alone in the huge private room and a table full of cold dishes, he felt unsteady on his feet, moved a chair and sat down, his eyes focused on the two envelopes that fell on the ground. This time, he was embarrassed, and he slapped himself in the mouth. Fuck!" he cursed inwardly.

No one outside the restaurant welcomed them with flowers, but Ah Zhe and Liu Hui were still as majestic as triumphant heroes, they were emotional, walking briskly, as if they were about to fly. Ah Zhe was so excited, not only because he righteously refused a bribe from a corrupt village official or an abusive village committee, but also because his follow-up report had more violent material than the previous one. Seeing Dong Qida's restaurant getting farther away, he couldn't help but say to Liu Hui: "Go back and hurry up and get the manuscript out!" The second article is stronger, and netizens must feel more shocked than the first one!" Liu Hui smiled, "Just a 'police release of suspects' is too monotonous and too dry." This time, it is much more substantial to add 'officials give red envelopes to a banquet to make reporters change the tone of their reports'. "No, Liu Hui. Brother Cheng suddenly put away his smile, "If you have a treat and want to force us to change your caliber, you can write about it, don't mention the red envelope." "Why, Brother Cheng?" Liu Hui was puzzled, "Didn't we reject him......? It's a glorious deed of ours. ”

Brother Cheng made a rather city-like attitude and said: "After a few more years, you will understand - the more honorable things you feel, the easier it is to be embarrassed by others." Thinking about it from another perspective, from the perspective of these corrupt village officials, they still think that it is glorious to prevent others from investing and driving ordinary people to plant trees on barren mountains!" "Their 'glory' is different from ours. Liu Hui argued. "It's one thing what the nature is, and it's another thing whether it's a handle or not. Brother Cheng taught the younger brother to say, "Let's take the red envelope, let's say on the news that we will confiscate it, but if the village committee grasps this handle and insists that we will accept it, and we don't speak for them after collecting it, we still have to fight with them for this, and these two red envelopes will replace the corruption of the village committee and rise to the focus of netizens' attention." Even if they can't come up with evidence to prove that we accepted it in the end, what impresses others the most is that we are involved in a red envelope dispute, and people may eliminate the traces after we accept it. They will think that it will take a lot of effort for the procuratorate to investigate the evidence of some corrupt officials' huge bribes, not to mention these two inexplicable little red envelopes. If you really have such a dispute and such an impression, although you can't legally blame us for a crime, it will not have a good impact on your reputation and future. What's worse is that the boss will also take into account that we have such a suspected criminal record, and when we are promoted, we have to be put in the back row. ”

Liu Hui's reference to "the release of suspects by the police" naturally refers to Chang Zhimin's release home. Yesterday at noon, Lao Luo, who had eaten, paced back and forth with a water glass. Both apprentices were sent out by him to collect clues, and the office was quiet, just enough for him to go through the known facts and evidence from the beginning. He didn't want to be halfway through the day, so his superiors, who had informed him to postpone the interrogation, came to him that night and asked him to go to the reception room to be interviewed by reporters. "Leader, you can't just go to the interview. Lao Luo said annoyingly, "You know that I am not very suitable for the camera, and I can't be in this limelight." The superior laughed and said, "Come on, people come from text reporters from online media, and don't take photos and videos." Besides, this is not a matter of being in the limelight, people are here to learn about the progress of the child abduction case and the rape case of left-behind women in Dayangtun, and you are the police officer who handled this case, and you will definitely be more convincing to them than I am to tell them. Seeing that Lao Luo was noncommittal, the superior said officially: "Lao Luo, taking care of the relationship with the news media is also a key point in our public relations work. Even if you don't specialize in this, you should do your part when necessary. Moreover, our cooperation with the media is mutual, and if you give them interviews, they will be able to give you convenience in the future. "Forget it, I don't expect anything to be rewarded. Lao Luo said helplessly, "You don't want to enlighten me endlessly, isn't it just an interview? But you tell them first, it's only 10 minutes, I don't have that much spare time at this juncture, and I have to study the case!" "Okay, 10 minutes is 10 minutes." ”

After a while, Lao Luo walked into the reception room, and those sitting on the sofa waiting for him were Ah Zhe and Liu Hui. He was just about to say a polite word, but Ah Zhe jumped up like a cat, pounced on him and asked, "Officer Luo, I heard that you have released the suspects who kidnapped children and raped left-behind women. Is it true? Why?"

Although Lao Luo didn't have much to do with the media, he had been interviewed three or four times in public and in the bureau, and this kind of martial arts reporter was the first time he encountered it, and he was so frightened that he almost instinctively made a move to prepare for a fight. "Comrade reporter, sit down, let's sit down and talk, okay?"

Ah Zhe is not ignorant of the politeness of the interview, but before joining Yiteng.com, he did the work of on-site interviews. This kind of interview has a certain emphasis on the word "grab", many times, before the interview starts, he and other media reporters huddled together and waited, and when the interview target appeared, the hula hula hula rushed over, and the legs and feet could rush to the front, and when they rushed to the front, they could grab a good position and hand their microphones closer. Over the years, Ah Zhe has developed the habit of "rushing" interviews. After becoming a member of Yiteng, the way of working has changed, and this habit has become less common for him. However, on the afternoon of the day Chang Zhimin was let go and Chang Jiucheng's father and son went home, he and Liu Hui noticed it, and rushed to the police station to ask for an interview, but were rejected by the leader who emphasized that he had a good relationship with the media on the grounds that "the case is under intense investigation and the relevant information is not yet suitable for publication". Liu Hui suggested that the article should be published under the subtitle "Police refuse to respond, saying that they are investigating and have no comment", but Ah Zhe thinks that this is too hasty, and at least he can ask what the role of the town public security bureau is. Unexpectedly, that night, the leader of the police station called according to the business card he left behind, informing them that they could arrange for a police officer to be interviewed at noon today. Ah Zhe's application for the interview time was rejected in advance, so he had to wait patiently until noon today, and finally survived until the interview subject appeared, and he couldn't wait for it to show his true face under impatience.

"Officer Luo, is it true that the suspect has been released?" As soon as his butt touched the sofa, Ah Zhe asked again. Lao Luo was angry and funny, and said: "Releasing him this time doesn't mean that he has nothing to do with this case at all." However, there is not enough evidence to prove that he committed the crimes of kidnapping and rape, and through the interrogation, we also learned from him about the circumstances of that night, and continuing to detain and interrogate him will not be able to provide more help in solving the case. Although he was released to go home, he cannot leave Dayangtun Village for the time being, and if new evidence is found to prove his involvement in the case, we will still bring him back for interrogation. "There is no evidence, but at least he was caught raping him, and many people in the village saw it?" "Yes, we understand this situation, so we cannot rule out the possibility that he committed the crime, but we cannot determine his criminal behavior on this basis." "This can't work?" Ah Zhe's emotions were not calmed down, but became more anxious, "Officer Luo, let me take the liberty of asking, is it because the suspect is the son of the secretary of the village party committee that you let him go?"

Smelling the word "presumptuous", Lao Luo knew that this was what he was going to ask. "We are talking about evidence and law. Handle cases in accordance with the law, and we will not wronged a good person, nor will we let go of a bad person. As long as there is evidence, we will not indulge the suspect because of whose son or relatives he is. ”

"Of course. Ah Zhe sneered, "Then can you please tell us some more about the progress of the case-solving work?"

These ten minutes were a bit long for Lao Luo, and after the two reporters left, he breathed a sigh of relief in the reception room. These official words came out of his mouth quite fluently, but they made him feel awkward. In his concept, he should say less and do more, and he should also say what he said to interrogate prisoners.

The old police officer was not easily impulsive, but his high-sounding words were very much to the taste of both reporters. Since there has been no major breakthrough in the case, this boilerplate statement, which has little practical content, can be seen as a perfunctory response to the doubts raised by the release of the suspects. Before leaving the police station, Liu Hui had already secretly drafted news headlines based on this.
