Chapter 229

"I don't know who let Xu Yong go." Wu Jun shook his head: "After I brought Xu Yong back and they took the statement, I handed him over to Wang Qinghe, and I continued to go out to perform anti-pickpocketing duties."

Xu Shixie looked at Gong Jianjun and said: "Where is Wang Qinghe? Go find him. Forget it, don't go. Wu Jun, you go find him."

Wu Jun agreed and went out. Gong Jianjun's legs were shaking like a sieve.

Not two minutes later, Wu Jun returned, followed by a police officer in his thirties. He was Wang Qinghe.

Wang Qinghe entered the conference room, and upon seeing the situation, his face turned pale, especially when he saw that the Rat, or Xu Yong, whom he and Gong Jianjun had released at noon, had been caught back again. His heart pounded even more.

Xu Shixie asked: "Wang Qinghe, I ask you, was the Xu Yong that Wu Jun brought back at noon released by you?"

Wang Qinghe immediately looked at Gong Jianjun. Gong Jianjun avoided his gaze. Wang Qinghe suddenly didn't know how to answer.

Xu Shixie asked again: "Wang Qinghe, please answer my question!"

Xu Shixie's tone became increasingly stern. Wang Qinghe's legs trembled: "Xu Ju, I'll tell you. After Wu Jun handed Xu Yong to me, because I knew Xu Yong, he pleaded with me to let him go. I was confused for a moment, so I mentioned it to Captain Gong, and Captain Gong agreed to release him."

Gong Jianjun said: "When did I agree?"

Wang Qinghe suddenly became anxious: "Captain Gong, you clearly agreed! If you hadn't agreed, would I have dared to release him?"

Gong Jianjun said: "You say I agreed to release him, then do you have a signed order from me?"

Wang Qinghe was stunned. Who would ask Gong Jianjun to write a signed order for this kind of thing? He said: "You didn't sign, but you did indeed agree to release him!"

Gong Jianjun glared: "I didn't. It was clearly you acting on your own initiative."

Wang Qinghe pointed at Little Li and said: "When I told you at the time, Little Li was still on the scene. Little Li, I ask you, did Captain Gong agree?"

Little Li stammered: "I don't know."

Wang Qinghe said: "How can you not know? At that time, I told Captain Gong that Rat promised to pay 500 yuan as a tribute, and you even laughed and said that everyone could go to the People's Restaurant for a good meal again."

As soon as Wang Qinghe said this, he felt the whole room become terrifyingly quiet. He immediately understood that he had said the wrong thing. But at this point, he also let go of all caution. You, Gong Jianjun, want me to take the blame alone? That's impossible. Let's all go down together!

Xu Shixie said with a dark face to Little Li: "Li Fangwen, is what Wang Qinghe said true?"

Xu Shixie appeared to have a dark face, but he couldn't have been happier inside. Gong Jianjun and his gang were all die-hard subordinates of Director Tao Yan. Relying on Tao Yan's power, they acted recklessly and didn't even dare to respect him, a deputy director. This had long made him feel resentful. This time, they were finally going to be unlucky.

Li Fangwen trembled. He really wanted to say it wasn't true, but Xu Shixie's appearance made him feel a bit terrified, and it was very difficult to cover this matter up. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Yes."

Xu Shixie asked Gong Jianjun again: "Deputy Captain Gong, do you have anything else to say?"

Gong Jianjun said: "Xu Ju, I have failed the organization's cultivation of me, and I have also failed the bureau leadership's trust in me. However, today's matter was Wang Qinghe strongly urging me to do so. I regret being confused for a moment. I will definitely not dare to do it again in the future!"

Xu Shixie said: "Let's put this matter aside for now and ask about the subsequent events. Comrade Su Xinghui, please describe the course of events after Xu Yong saw you on the street again."

After Su Xinghui described the course of events again, he said: "At that time, Comrade Xue Qin and this comrade were also on the scene. They can testify."

Su Xinghui was referring to Liu Changlin. According to common sense, he didn't know Liu Changlin at this time, so he could only use "this comrade" to refer to him.

Xu Shixie looked at Xue Qin. Xue Qin nodded and said: "What Su Xinghui said is true."

Liu Changlin also said: "My name is Liu Changlin, and I work at the Statistics Bureau. What this Comrade Su Xinghui said is true. I was on the side of the road at the time and saw these thugs wanting to beat this Comrade Su Xinghui, so I hurriedly went to a public telephone booth to call the police. I didn't expect that in about a minute, Comrade Su Xinghui had subdued them all."

Xu Shixie looked at Chang Hu's gang again and asked: "Is what they said true?"

Chang Hu and his men knew that this matter could no longer be denied, so they could only admit it.

Only then did Xu Shixie say to Gong Jianjun: "Since the case is so clear, why did you say Comrade Su Xinghui was fighting? And why did you want him to compensate the other party for medical expenses and mediate?"

Gong Jianjun's head was full of cold sweat. He stammered: "Xu Ju, this, this, I was deceived by their gang."

Liu Changlin said: "But I made a statement and testified for Comrade Su Xinghui. How could you be deceived?"

Xu Shixie said again: "Also, after Comrade Su Xinghui refused mediation, why did you change your words and say he was provoking trouble, and why did you want to handcuff him?"

At this point, Gong Jianjun was truly speechless. He lowered his head.

Xu Shixie said: "Tell us, why did you do this?"

Gong Jianjun could only tell the reason for doing so. In fact, it wasn't complicated. Chang Hu and his men usually gave Gong Jianjun and his men many tributes, so Gong Jianjun naturally had to cover for them. This time, Chang Hu promised to give them another tribute, so they wanted to turn this matter into a fight and mediate it.

But Gong Jianjun also wanted to make Su Xinghui pay some medical expenses so they could go have a meal, so he told Su Xinghui. Who knew Su Xinghui would refuse to accept mediation, and it ended up like this.

After Gong Jianjun finished speaking, Xu Shixie looked at Zhang Kaishan and asked: "Magistrate Zhang, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Zhang Kaishan said: "I don't know much about the law, but in their situation, they are suspected of the crime of bending the law for personal gain, right?"

Xu Shixie nodded and said: "That is indeed the case, so I suggest taking compulsory measures against them and entering the investigation procedure. If there is indeed an act of bending the law for personal gain, then apply for the Procuratorate to intervene."

Zhang Kaishan said: "You know more about this than I do. You say what should be done, and it will be done."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Gong Jianjun, Wang Qinghe, and Li Fangwen were already about to collapse. Xu Shixie had Wu Jun handcuff the three of them and take them down along with Chang Hu's gang. Next, the investigation procedure would be carried out against them.

Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Zhang Kaishan stood up and said: "Comrade Shixie, you are busy, I'll go first."

Xu Shixie nodded and said: "Magistrate Zhang, go safely. I will report the progress of this matter to you at any time."
