Chapter 238: This Young Master Has the Eye of Truth!

While chatting with Gu Yong, Tang Ye often discussed the cold cases and major crimes that had occurred in Hanzhou over the years.

Among them, the 1994 robbery case had an extremely vile impact in Hanzhou.

Even though Gu Yong had already retired, this case remained a great regret in his heart.

Wan Ming acted swiftly and soon collected Guo Mingzhou's fingerprints.

Immediately following this, he retrieved the physical evidence from the case that year and began a meticulous comparison.

Once the comparison results came out, Wan Ming was greatly shocked!

It was truly as Tang Ye had expected; Guo Mingzhou's fingerprints were an exact match to those left at the crime scene.

"Section Chief Tang, I am completely convinced. Starting from a tiny flaw, you actually dug up such a shocking major case." Wan Ming's face was full of surprise. "Once this case is solved, those veteran criminal police officers at the City Bureau will probably all feel ashamed and lose face!"

Tang Ye felt a surge of heroic spirit rise in his heart.

I don't care what kind of demons and monsters you are!

This young master has the Eye of Truth!

"Who could have imagined that the perpetrator of the robbery back then would now transform into a Deputy Bureau Chief of the court? If this news gets out, it will likely make people's jaws drop."

Tang Ye stepped into the Interrogation Room once again.

At this moment, compared to before, there was a trace of undisguisable unease on Guo Mingzhou's face.

"Guo Mingzhou, you must be very nervous right now, right? With the rich experience you have accumulated in the public security, procuratorial, and judicial systems, you should know very well what this means. I will give you one more chance: confess your problems truthfully and strive for lenient treatment," Wan Ming said loudly.

Although Guo Mingzhou's heart was in complete chaos, he was still struggling in his death throes, pretending to be calm as he said, "I don't know what you are talking about. I have always been conscientious and diligent; I have a clear conscience regarding my position and my own morality."

Tang Ye was unhurried as he gently placed the fingerprint comparison evidence on the table.

"Guo Mingzhou, twelve years ago, a robbery of a cash transport vehicle occurred in Hanzhou. Five robbers committed the crime, resulting in the death of one staff member on the spot and injuries to two passersby. Although the robbers acted with extreme caution, fingerprints and cigarette butts left by the criminal suspects were extracted from the abandoned taxi. After comparison, your fingerprints are a perfect match to those at the scene."

Hearing this, Guo Mingzhou instantly became like a deflated ball, and the tough aura he had maintained previously collapsed with a crash.

"Impressive. After waiting for so many years, I still couldn't escape it in the end." Facing the ironclad evidence, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of Guo Mingzhou's mouth. "That's right, I participated in that case back then. My father had a sudden heart attack, and I was borrowing money from relatives everywhere. Later, someone introduced me to a boss. I thought he would lend me money, but instead, he dragged me along to commit robbery."

Seeing that Guo Mingzhou had finally told the truth, Tang Ye asked sternly, "To save your own father, you caused an innocent person to lose their life. Don't you feel guilty?"

Guo Mingzhou gave a dry laugh, still trying to excuse himself.

"I didn't expect it to result in a loss of life either. All these years, I have felt guilty in my heart, which is why I have been extra diligent in my work."

Tang Ye mercilessly exposed his disguise: "Stop making excuses for yourself. In the case of Cao Lili, you forged evidence, destroyed the original underwear, and specifically fabricated a new one. You would stop at nothing just to curry favor with Wang Xingjian."

Guo Mingzhou's face instantly turned as pale as paper, and he fell into silence.

Tang Ye sighed slightly, "Guo Mingzhou, in your father's eyes, you might be his pride; in your family's hearts, you are their pillar; you are a responsible father in your children's eyes, and a husband your wife trusts.

But all of this cannot cover up the selfishness and cruelty deep within your heart.

Next, we will thoroughly investigate your financial situation. You are not clean at all. So, if you are wise, confess quickly and stop putting up futile resistance."

Guo Mingzhou knew he had nowhere left to retreat.

"If I confess, can you help me strive for a reduced sentence?"

"We can apply to our superiors. But if you cooperate actively and assist in eradicating social tumors and purifying the environment, it can be considered living up to the shoulder badges you once wore."

……

Suiyuan County.

County Party Committee Office.

Wang Xingjian called Xiao Jingyu, naturally to complain that Tianling County had started conducting cross-jurisdictional investigations again.

"Mayor Xiao, they are bandits; they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals."

"This matter was approved by Secretary Zhou. Do not panic. As long as you can withstand the test, I will give you a satisfactory result."

Xiao Jingyu had already decided that if there was no progress in the case, he would inevitably make Wan Ming, who was in charge of the investigation, take responsibility.

Wan Ming, a Deputy Bureau Chief of a County Public Security Bureau, was jumping around too much; he was an eyesore!

Hanging up the phone, Wang Xingjian sat at his desk, sorting out his thoughts.

The Secretary knocked on the door gently, and after receiving permission, walked in cautiously.

"Secretary, news has just come from Tianling County. Guo Mingzhou has already confessed that he originally acted on the request of Young Master Xiao Wang to help your nephew forge criminal evidence and arrange for Huang Ping to take the fall. Moreover, while Huang Ping was being disciplined in the juvenile detention center, he also managed to help him secure a sentence reduction."

Wang Xingjian's face turned livid. "I really didn't expect Guo Mingzhou to be so unable to keep his composure! I trusted him so much, yet he..."

The Secretary braced himself and continued to report: "It is said that other cases he was involved in were also uncovered. Guo Mingzhou once participated in a major robbery case."

"What?" Wang Xingjian raised his head abruptly, staring fixedly at the Secretary, his eyes full of disbelief.

The Secretary explained with a bitter smile, "Back then, his father had a sudden heart attack and urgently needed a huge sum for surgery. At that time, Guo Mingzhou was still a soldier in the army. During a home visit, he was blinded by greed and participated in that robbery."

"Is it that case from 1994?" Wang Xingjian realized instantly; that case had caused a sensation at the time and had an extremely vile impact.

"That's right, it's that one."

Wang Xingjian's mouth twitched, and he felt his brain go "buzz" and instantly turn blank.

He never imagined that the Deputy Bureau Chief of the County Court he had promoted himself was actually a deeply hidden criminal.

If this got out, wouldn't he become a laughingstock?

Just at this moment, the ringtone of his mobile phone rang abruptly.

Wang Xingjian glanced at the caller ID; it was his younger brother's wife.

He hesitated for a moment before answering the phone.

"Brother, I beg you, save Liangliang!" On the other end of the phone, his sister-in-law's voice was filled with sobbing.

"The conclusion for Wang Liang's case has already been reached. He is suspected of rape and assault, the evidence is conclusive, and there is no room for reversal. As his mother, you bear an inescapable responsibility for his actions. Why have you always indulged and spoiled him, letting him go from one mistake to another?" Wang Xingjian's tone was cold and stern, as if he were a different person from before.

Wang Liang's mother had not expected Wang Xingjian's attitude to be so tough. She was stunned for several seconds before saying, "Brother, he is your own nephew!"

Wang Xingjian took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Tell Wang Xingjun that if he has committed any illegal acts, he should go to the relevant departments to surrender and confess as soon as possible to strive for lenient treatment."

After saying this, he hung up the phone without waiting for a response.

A busy signal came from the receiver, and Wang Liang's mother went limp, collapsing onto the floor.

The large tree that he had been leaning against was gone!
