Chapter 144: Mending the Knife
As the deputy mayor of Qihe and the director of the Public Security Bureau, Gong Lichen's promotion is no longer something that Wu Zhongzheng can decide, he is not short of money, and he usually cooperates well with Sui Zhengxing at work, so naturally he does not want to get involved in the conflict between Wu Zhongzheng and Sui Zhengxing. But Wu Zhongzheng called him, and he couldn't lose face at all.
After thinking about it, Wu Ziqiang admitted that it was Wu Ziqiang's business whether he was strong or not, and he didn't want to meddle, but he could go to Sui Zhengxing to talk to him.
On the seventh day of the next day, the first day of work after the New Year, Gong Lichen went to the Public Security Bureau and learned that Sui Zhengxing had come, so he went to Sui Zhengxing's office.
"Old Sui, how are you doing?" Knocking on the door and entering Sui Zhengxing's office, Gong Lichen asked with a smile.
"It's not going well, let's sit over there." Sui Zhengxing made a straight face, got up and let Gong Lichen sit on the sofa on the side.
"How could it be bad?"
"You're here for Wu Ziqiang's business, right?" Sui Zhengxing did not answer the rhetorical question.
"How do you know?" Gong Lichen was a little surprised.
"Wu Ziqiang is Wu Zhongzheng's lifeline, if such a big incident happens, if he doesn't look for you, I will feel strange." Sui Zhengxing poured a glass of water and put it in front of Gong Lichen, and asked, "Did he ask you to protect Wu Ziqiang and prevent Wu Ziqiang from admitting to being rape?" ”
Gong Lichen was noncommittal, and just as he was about to speak, Sui Zhengxing said again: "Lao Gong, your family is also a daughter, if what happened to your daughter last night, what would happen to you?" ”
Gong Lichen was silent.
"Maybe I should be glad that Wu Ziqiang didn't succeed, otherwise...... You know. The two of us have worked together for so many years, what kind of temper do I have, Lao Gong, you know best, this matter can't just be settled. As Sheffee's father, I won't be directly involved in this case, but I'll always be watching, I won't interfere, and no one else will want to interfere. Sui Zhengxing looked at Gong Lichen and said, the meaning of his words couldn't be clearer.
Gong Lichen originally came over to make peace with the mud and remind Sui Zhengxing that after all, Sui Xuefei was not raped, and it was better not to settle the dispute, and it was better not to be the enemy of Wu Zhongzheng. But after listening to Sui Zhengxing's words, he knew that there was no need for him to say more, and saying it would only offend Sui Zhengxing and would not play any role.
For Gong Lichen, if he has found Sui Zhengxing, even if he gives Wu Zhongzheng a positive face, as for Wu Zhongzheng's other ways to get Wu Ziqiang, it is Wu Zhongzheng's business, and it has nothing to do with him.
Back in the office, Gong Lichen made a phone call to Wu Zhongzheng, saying that Sui Zhengxing's prestige in the Public Security Bureau was not inferior to him, and the evidence showed that Wu Ziqiang was indeed suspected of being strong/violent Sui Xuefei, so he couldn't do anything about Wu Ziqiang. Then without waiting for Wu Zhongzheng to speak, he hung up the phone on the grounds that there was still something to do.
Wu Zhongzheng finished answering Gong Lichen's phone call and scolded his head, he didn't believe that Gong Lichen couldn't help at all, obviously he didn't want to offend Sui Zhengxing.
Gong Lichen didn't help, so he could only find another way, and he definitely couldn't sit still.
To say that Wu Zhongzheng has deep roots in Qihe after all, and has been in business for so many years, even if the top leader of the Public Security Bureau does not help him, he can still contact the person in charge of Wu Ziqiang's case, Ke Fan, the captain of the Second Brigade of the Criminal Police Detachment of the Public Security Bureau, through his huge network of contacts.
Coming out of the Wangjue Club and getting into the car, Ke Fan looked at the 200,000 cash on the co-pilot, and all that echoed in his mind was "After the matter is completed, the leader of the criminal police detachment is also yours."
With a long sigh of relief, Ke Fan started the car, and then left the Wangjue Club and disappeared into the vast night.
After Wu Ziqiang's operation, Ke Fan went to the hospital to interrogate him, and the result was that Wu Ziqiang refused to admit that he was strong/violent Sui Xuefei, saying that Sui Xuefei was framing him. He only admits to having physical contact because they had been in a brief relationship and had some emotional disputes, nothing more. In addition, he also wanted to sue Sui Xuefei for intentionally hurting people, and Sui Xuefei should be held criminally responsible.
Wu Ziqiang's two younger brothers, who had previously admitted that Wu Ziqiang had indeed committed rape/violence, retracted their confessions after Ke Fan re-interrogated, saying that Wu Ziqiang did not force/violent Sui Xuefei, and they admitted at the time that it was because they had never entered the police station, and when they saw that the police were nervous, they said things that did not match the facts.
Just when Ke Fan was about to close the case and transfer it to the procuratorate for review, Wu Zhongzheng thought that Wu Ziqiang was okay this time, Ke Fan was suddenly arrested.
Sui Zhengxing has been a public security officer for decades, although he has to recuse himself in Sui Xuefei's case according to the regulations, but just like he told Gong Lichen, he will watch from the side, he will not interfere, and others will not want to interfere. Sui Zhengxing knew that Wu Zhongzheng would not be idle, so he had already asked people to secretly stare at Ke Fan, who handled Wu Ziqiang's rape case, and so on, so he was afraid that Wu Zhongzheng would directly find them and go through the back door, but he didn't expect Wu Zhongzheng to really do this.
After Ke Fan was arrested, the trial of the case was no longer the responsibility of the Second Brigade of the Criminal Police Detachment, but was changed to the Fourth Brigade.
After Wu Zhongzheng learned the news, his heart sank, he felt that the situation was not good, I was afraid that Wu Ziqiang would not be able to escape prison this time. However, what made Wu Zhongzheng feel somewhat fortunate was that he kept an eye at that time, 200,000 yuan was not given to Ke Fan directly, but to be given by others, in order to prevent the matter from being revealed, the night that person gave Ke Fan money, he let him leave Qihe, now it seems to be very wise, otherwise he will be in danger.
With Ke Fan's previous experience, the people of the four teams did not dare to take it lightly, and carefully interrogated all the people involved in the case.
In this retrial, Wu Ziqiang's two younger brothers couldn't resist the pressure, overturned their previous confessions, and admitted Wu Ziqiangqiang/Storm Sui Xuefei. Although Wu Ziqiang has never admitted it, this is not important, because when the court decides a case, it does not judge whether the criminal suspect admits it or not, as long as the evidence is conclusive, it can be decided. What's more, the confessions of Wu Ziqiang's two younger brothers are almost the same as Sui Xuefei's confessions, and the scars on Sui Xuefei's body and torn clothes are also strong evidence, so Wu Ziqiang is in a catastrophe this time.
However, Wu Ziqiang's affairs are not over, because there are still mending knives.
When he got off work in the evening, Xue Fei called Sui Zhengxing and asked him if he had time in the evening and wanted to invite him to have a meal together. Sui Zhengxing hesitated, but finally agreed.
Xue Fei arrived first after getting off work, and when Sui Zhengxing arrived, he smiled and apologized: "I'm sorry Secretary General Xue, I was busy when I got off work, and there was a little traffic jam on the road, which made you wait for a long time." ”
"No, no, I've just arrived." After Xue Fei asked Sui Zhengxing to sit down, he asked the waiter to order.
Sui Zhengxing said that he didn't drink, and Xue Fei didn't want to drink it himself, so he didn't order wine.
During the meal, the two of them were chatting casually, and they didn't say a word about Wu Ziqiang and Sui Xuefei.
As he spoke, Xue Fei's face changed, and he sighed heavily, Sui Zhengxing didn't know what was going on, so he asked, "What's wrong with Secretary General Xue, do you have something on your mind?" ”
Xue Fei put down his chopsticks and said, "Ahem, don't mention it." Last year, when my dad went out for a walk at night, he was hit by a motorcycle that ran a red light and was seriously injured. ”
"Oh, there's such a thing? Secretary-General Xue elaborated. Sui Zhengxing said with interest.
After Xue Fei told Xue Rengui in detail, he said: "Actually, I already know who the murderer is, but because of his identity and his background, I can't do anything about him." ”
"Is there anyone else who can make it difficult for Secretary General Xue? I'm really curious who this person is? Sui Zhengxing understood Xue Fei's purpose in telling him about his father's collision, but he was more curious about the person who made Xue Fei difficult.
Sui Zhengxing firmly believed that there must be someone above Xue Fei, and it was from Bingcheng, and it might even be from the province, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to reach this level at this age. With such a background, my father was hit in Seven Rivers but couldn't do anything, what kind of person does this have to be?
"Speaking of which, this person Director Sui also knows, he is Wu Ziqiang." Xue Fei looked at Sui Zhengxing and said.
Wu Ziqiang? Sui Zhengxing was stunned for a moment, he seemed to remember something.
"There is one thing Director Sui may not know, Wu Ziqiang and I are high school classmates, and we have been old classmates for more than ten years, I really didn't expect him to be the murderer who hit my father."
"How do you know that Wu Ziqiang hit it?"
"The traffic police team did not find the murderer for a long time, so I found a suburban modification factory through the abandoned motorcycle, and the motorcycle was modified there, and the people in the modification factory also accurately said Wu Ziqiang's name and identity. Director Sui undoubtedly knows the situation of the Municipal Public Security Bureau best, do you say that there is a second person named Wu Ziqiang in your bureau? ”
"Whoever breaks the law should be punished by the law. Since it is very clear that it is Wu Ziqiang, Secretary-General Xue can only ask his family to report it to the traffic police force. ”
"Can a report be useful?" Xue Fei asked tentatively.
"Of course it works, I believe that the traffic police will definitely enforce the law impartially." Sui Zhengxing said solemnly.
On the night Xue Rengui was hit, Lu Ping was notified and rushed to the scene. When checking the scene, in addition to the abandoned motorcycle, Lu Ping also found a motor vehicle driver's license alone, and when he opened it, he saw that it was Wu Ziqiang, he felt that the matter was not trivial, so he did not make a noise, and handed it over to Qin Zhu to deal with early the next morning.
Qin Zhu saw that it was Wu Ziqiang, and he didn't know what to do, so he handed it over to Sui Zhengxing again. Sui Zhengxing got Wu Ziqiang's driver's license, considering that Wu Ziqiang and Sui Xuefei were at the stage of understanding each other at that time, if Wu Ziqiang had an accident, Sui Xuefei and Wu Ziqiang would definitely blow it. In addition, Wu Ziqiang's people did not have to worry about their lives, so Sui Zhengxing moved his selfish intentions and asked Qin Zhu and Lu Ping not to make a noise about the matter, just let it go, and it would be over after a long time.
If Xue Fei hadn't mentioned this matter today, Sui Zhengxing would have forgotten about it. He didn't expect that Wu Ziqiang bumped into Xue Fei's father, and now he is worried that Wu Ziqiang's attempted rape cannot be sentenced for a few more years, and now with the charge of hit-and-run, it is definitely enough for Wu Ziqiang.
The reason why Xue Fei mentioned his father's collision to Sui Zhengxing at this time was because he knew that this was the best time, Sui Zhengxing hated Wu Ziqiang so much that he was itching at all, and if he added another charge to Wu Ziqiang, Sui Zhengxing would be happy to see it, and this was indeed the case. In addition, he was also angry at his father's collision, so why not?
After chatting about Xue Rengui's collision, Sui Zhengxing remembered another thing: "I heard that your brother was divorced?" ”
In fact, Sui Zhengxing didn't hear about it at all, it was he who secretly investigated Xue Yan, and also investigated Xue Fei's family background by the way.
Sui Zhengxing was a little surprised by the results of the investigation, he thought that Xue Fei's parents would not be ordinary people, but he didn't expect that they would be ordinary people, ordinary people can't be more ordinary, so who will be the people above Xue Fei? He couldn't guess, but he could see that Xue Fei, a young man, was not simple, from his heart, he preferred his daughter to be good with Xue Fei, the young man was talented, literate, and promising. Compared with Xue Yan and Xue Fei, the difference is not half a star, it is simply 108,000 miles.
What Sui Zhengxing couldn't accept the most was that Xue Yan actually got married once, and his daughter's conditions for finding a second marriage were very ordinary, he always felt a little awkward in his heart, and he couldn't convince himself.
"Yes, he did have an unhappy marriage, but the reason for the divorce was not caused by him, it was his ex-wife who had a problem with her lifestyle and was pregnant with someone else's child, and he finally found out, so he finally divorced." Xue Yan really wants to be good with Sui Xuefei, and the divorce can't be hidden, since Sui Zhengxing already knows, Xue Fei naturally wants to take the opportunity to say some good things about Xue Yan, and strive to minimize the negative impact of the divorce. Xue Fei said: "I didn't mean to praise my brother in front of Director Sui, as a man, he may not be the kind of man who is particularly capable, can make a lot of money, and can make his wife and children live a rich and noble life, but he is indeed a good man." His goodness is not only reflected in the Gu family, meticulous to another partner, loyal to marriage, but also reflected in the work, if Director Sui does not believe it, you can go to the chemical factory to inquire about his popularity in the factory. From the perspective of marriage, Director Sui is from the past, and I am not married, so I am not qualified to evaluate what kind of marriage is the best. But I think that as a woman, in addition to being able to guarantee her basic life, she must want to find the kind of man who loves her and loves her, and is wholeheartedly good to her alone. With Xuefei's conditions, I would not be surprised to find a man with good conditions, but the reason why she chose my brother is because she took a fancy to the qualities that those women in my brother wanted most. It is difficult to be happy in a marriage without the blessing of my parents, and I know that Xue Fei and my brother want to be together and need to get the nod and approval of Director Sui. Regardless of whether they can be together in the end, I only hope that Director Sui can look at one person comprehensively, not just at a certain point. I also believe that my brother will cherish his next marriage even more after a failed marriage. ”
Sui Zhengxing listened to Xue Fei's words and didn't say anything, just sighed lightly.
