January 22, 2016, noon.

Yao Zhenhua and Hao Chunxiao set off without lunch, and their destination was to return to the city of JY.

Dongchen City is more than 200 kilometers away from Huicheng, and if their road goes well, they can reach it at about two o'clock in the afternoon.

On the way, they bought some food at the supermarket in the highway service area, which will be served as lunch. Yao Zhenhua and Hao Chunxiao took turns driving and taking turns eating.

Yao Zhenhua has a senior brother who works in Huicheng JY, named Fan Zuopei, and is now a middle-level cadre. Yao Zhenhua greeted him in advance on the road, so as soon as they arrived back in the city, they went directly to Fan Zuopei.

"Zhenhua, your identity today cannot meet Huo Xiaoyi in the name of investigating the case, because you are not the unit handling Huo Xiaoyi's case, and you have no related cases, nor do you have relevant interrogation procedures, so you can only apply for a meeting as his friend." Fan Zuopei had a somewhat embarrassed expression, but he showed an attitude of trying to find a way.

"Senior brother, I understand this, we really don't meet the rules for arraignment of cases. I'm applying as a friend right now and I hope you will review my application soon, thank you! Yao Zhenhua was a little anxious, quickly wrote an application and submitted it to Fan Zuopei.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Fan Zuopei came back and told Yao Zhenhua, "Zhenhua, your application has been approved, hurry up and go to the meeting room, go out and turn left, and go through two security checks to arrive, but you only have ten minutes to meet." Fan Zuopei finished speaking with some gasp, because the mobile phones of outsiders were put away in the safe cabinet when they entered, and he had no way to notify Yao Zhenhua by phone.

"Okay, thank you, brother."

Yao Zhenhua and Hao Chunxiao did not delay and soon arrived at the meeting room.

The meeting room is not large, separated from the inside and outside, there is a glass explosion-proof wall in the middle, and there is a safety steel mesh protection, there is an interrogation stool inside, and there is a table and two stools outside, and the criminal Huo Xiaoyi has not yet arrived. The room was a little dark, and Hao Chunxiao turned on the light.

"Team Yao, do you want to make a record?" Hao Chunxiao asked Yao Zhenhua.

"If you don't make a record, it's useless and ineffective. We have no connection with the case, and today we are his 'friends'. Yao Zhenhua explained.

After a while, a policeman escorted Huo Xiaoyi over.

Huo Xiaoyi was still happy when he came in, and said with a smile as he walked: "Officer Li, what kind of friend of mine?" ”

Officer Li did not answer him, and they entered the interview room. Huo Xiaoyi came in and glanced at Yao Zhenhua and Hao Chunxiao, he was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to think of something, turned his head and walked out.

"Hey, Huo Xiaoyi!" Officer Li called Huo Xiaoyi to stop.

"Officer Li, they're not my friends." Huo Xiaoyi tilted his head and said.

"They're policemen, they're here today to ask you some personal questions, it's not long, ten minutes, come, sit down." Officer Li calmed Huo Xiaoyi.

Yao Zhenhua nodded to Officer Li and thanked him.

Officer Li sat Huo Xiaoyi on a stool, put his hands on the stool, and went out.

"Two officers, what's the matter?" Huo Xiaoyi spoke first.

Actually, Huo Xiaoyi knew something when he sat on the stool, and he asked knowingly.

"Huo Xiaoyi, we didn't come today to think about you, we wanted to talk to you about your case." Yao Zhenhua has always been worried that Huo Xiaoyi won't speak, because even if Huo Xiaoyi doesn't speak, there is nothing they can do to restrain him. Seeing Huo Xiaoyi speak first just now, Yao Zhenhua was pleasantly surprised that he could communicate.

"Two police officers, especially Officer Yao, I have done evil, I am sorry for you, I just want to serve my sentence well now, get out of prison and reunite with my family as soon as possible, you don't want to ask about the case, I don't want to say anything if I ask, because the verdict is already very clear, I don't want to explain anything." Huo Xiaoyi made his attitude clear.

Yao Zhenhua's joy disappeared all of a sudden.

"Huo Xiaoyi, as the saying goes: what a person does, he will bear whatever responsibility, sometimes even if he is not asked to bear the corresponding responsibility at the moment, it is just that the time has not come."

After Yao Zhenhua said this, Huo Xiaoyi silently lowered his head.

"According to the 'principle of proportionality of crime and punishment', the law will not arbitrarily wronged a person, nor will it easily let a person go. The facts of the cases that I want to know, you may want to keep it safe, thinking that there will be no consequences if you don't say it. ”

"But, you're wrong!"

Yao Zhenhua observed Huo Xiaoyi, and then said: "Under the constant investigation of the police, some people can't bear the pressure, and once someone feels unsafe, someone may be in danger." ”

"Huo Xiaoyi, who do you think will be the dangerous person at that time?" Yao Zhenhua threw this question to Huo Xiaoyi, hoping that he could think about it.

In fact, among the results Yao Zhenhua wants, no matter how you think about it, it is unfavorable to Huo Xiaoyi, but there are more other factors that are unfavorable to Huo Xiaoyi.

At this time, Huo Xiaoyi seemed to be thinking about something, and his face was full of sadness. said: "Officer Yao, I'm really sorry for you, but now that things have come to this, no matter how much I regret it, I can't save their lives, so I'm sorry, please go back, I don't want to say it anymore." ”

Hao Chunxiao couldn't get used to it, and said, "Huo Xiaoyi, don't be ......uninteresting. ”

Before Hao Chunxiao could finish speaking, he was stopped by Yao Zhenhua. Yao Zhenhua asked a few more words, but Huo Xiaoyi didn't say a word, and turned his head away, not looking at the two of them.

Yao Zhenhua asked Hao Chunxiao to call Officer Li from the phone in the interview room and inform Officer Li to come and take Huo Xiaoyi, because the telephone was pasted with "Receiving Person's Phone".

After that, Yao Zhenhua, Hao Chunxiao said goodbye to Fan Zuopei, received mobile phones and other items, and prepared to go back.

took out their mobile phones, Yao Zhenhua and Hao Chunxiao "ah" at the same time. It turned out that they all had multiple missed calls on their phones.

Yao Zhenhua's mobile phone missed notifications more, there are money bureau calls, Liu Dong calls, and Hua hits, there are a total of more than a dozen missed prompts.

Hao Chunxiao's mobile phone also has eight or nine missed notifications.

Yao Zhenhua called each other.

"Hey, Money Bureau, hello."

"Zhenhua, have you come back from returning to the city?"

"I'm ready to go back. Money Bureau, what's wrong? ”

"You're back, come to my office and look for me."

"Okay, Money Bureau. I returned to the city office around seven o'clock in the evening. ”

"Okay."

Hung up the phone.

called Liu Dong again.

"Hey, Liu Dong, what's wrong?"

"Team Yao, are you back? I called you for two things, one is that the money bureau is looking for you, and the other is that the captain of the Mi Baoyang detachment is looking for you. The captain of the Mi detachment left a message, saying that if the three teams wanted to handle the case, they would reply to him. ”

"Okay, I understand, Chunxiao and I are going back now, and we will go to the city bureau at about seven o'clock, and you can get off work on time if you have nothing to do."

"Okay, goodbye Team Yao." Hung up the phone.

Call Youhua again.

"Hey, Team Yao, the money bureau will call you in the afternoon."

"I already know, I'll go back for a while, you can get off work on time."

"Oh......, goodbye Team Yao."

Yao Zhenhua was worried about Shangguan Keke and Liu Yan at first, afraid that something would happen to them, but after making the call, he gasped and thought: "It's okay, there is no news from Coco, no news is good news."

Although he didn't ask any clues directly today, it can be seen that Huo Xiaoyi's guilt is very heavy, his problem is not just as simple as a traffic accident, if it is just a traffic accident, he will be very relieved if he goes to prison, but judging from his performance today, he is obviously not relieved.

"What is it that keeps him from being able to extricate himself?"

On the way back, Yao Zhenhua kept asking himself.
