Chapter 639

Captain Yang asked his subordinates to take Yan Qing's group in for an alcohol test and then personally took statements from Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya. He had a very good impression of these two upright young people.

Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya told everything they saw today. In fact, the facts of this matter were very clear and simple, not complicated at all. It was just Yan Qing driving under the influence against traffic and speeding, which caused this traffic accident. It was a typical crime of causing a traffic accident.

Now, as long as the alcohol test results of Yan Qing's group and the speed test results of the brake marks came out, the results could be obtained.

After the statements were taken, Captain Yang continued to chat with Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya. Captain Yang's name was Yang Jiong, and he was the deputy captain of the Traffic Police Brigade of the Jiangnan District Public Security Bureau. He was in his thirties and was also a shrewd person.

From the age and work unit reported by Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya when taking statements, he could see that these two people were definitely not simple.

Su Xinghui was only twenty-three years old and was already a deputy township head. This wasn't something an ordinary person could achieve. If he were a deputy section chief in some organ in Jiangcheng, that would be one thing—there were as many cadres of this level in Jiangcheng as there were hairs on an ox—but a deputy township head, if you didn't have real ability, you couldn't be one.

The reporter's ID card that Lu Xiaoya took out shocked Yang Jiong even more. She was only twenty-two years old and was already an official reporter for the "Hudong Daily." The "Hudong Daily" was the party newspaper of the Provincial Party Committee. Could someone who became an official reporter there at such a young age be an ordinary person?

Yang Jiong couldn't help but have the idea of making friends with them. Moreover, he had another thought: since the perpetrator Yan Qing was a director's son, he really couldn't afford to offend him. If he could build a good relationship with these two young people who looked like they had backgrounds, maybe they could help him with this matter.

Yang Jiong personally poured tea for the two and said to them, "You two are truly models of seeing justice and acting on it! Compared to that perpetrator, I don't know how much higher you are. I will definitely write to your units to commend you."

Su Xinghui waved his hand and said, "Captain Yang, that's not necessary."

Seeing that Su Xinghui didn't look like he was being polite, Yang Jiong said, "Okay, then I won't write the letter. But I've made up my mind to make you a friend. Keep my phone number, and next time you come to Jiangcheng, call me if you have anything."

Su Xinghui nodded, took out his phone book from his bag, and recorded Yang Jiong's contact information. He didn't need to report his own contact information, because when taking statements, Yang Jiong had already recorded them all.

At this time, the traffic policeman Xiao Chen came over and said to Yang Jiong, "Captain Yang, the test results are out. The alcohol content in the perpetrator Yan Qing's blood is 180, which has exceeded the standard for drunk driving. The confessions of him and the other three women in the car have also been recorded. They were driving and causing the accident after drinking a large amount of alcoholic beverages at a nearby hotel."

Yang Jiong nodded and said, "Good, then immediately take him into criminal detention."

Xiao Chen nodded and went out.

Seeing that the statements were finished, Su Xinghui got up and said, "Captain Yang, why don't we leave first? We still want to go to the hospital to see the injured person."

Yang Jiong said, "Township Head Su, don't be in such a hurry. Sit for a while longer. I have already sent a colleague to the hospital. Let's chat properly, and I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

Su Xinghui smiled faintly. He could also understand Yang Jiong's thoughts. Yang Jiong was probably going to rely on the backgrounds the two might have. As for how he knew their backgrounds, looking at their age, work unit, and position, couldn't he guess? Those in the police line were all shrewd people.

However, Su Xinghui wasn't angry. Yang Jiong was able to take compulsory measures against Yan Qing just now knowing he was a director's son, and he had obtained confessions and done alcohol tests so quickly. This person was still a policeman with a sense of justice. Although he was a bit slippery, that was understandable. He was just a small deputy captain; could he afford to stand up to a director?

In addition, Su Xinghui also wanted to nail down Yan Qing's accident case so he couldn't turn it around. So, he sat down again and chatted with Yang Jiong.

While they were chatting, a policeman came from outside and said to Yang Jiong, "Captain Yang, Director Pan is looking for you."

Yang Jiong said to Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya, "You two sit for a while, the leader is looking for me, I'll be back in a moment."

After Yang Jiong went out, Su Xinghui said to Lu Xiaoya, "Xiaoya, today is our first Valentine's Day, but I let you spend it in such a place. I'm really sorry."

Lu Xiaoya said, "It doesn't matter, isn't this an accident? The one who was hit is my colleague, so I'm duty-bound. However, do you really want to eat with this Captain Yang?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Do you think I'm such a glutton?"

Lu Xiaoya laughed, "I think you're quite a glutton. My steak at noon wasn't finished, didn't you eat it all?"

Su Xinghui laughed heartily, "Didn't you beg me to eat it? You couldn't finish it."

Lu Xiaoya felt inexplicably shy. Although she and Su Xinghui had basically confirmed their relationship today, thinking about Su Xinghui eating the half-steak she hadn't finished, she still felt a bit embarrassed. She now regretted why she had let Su Xinghui eat that half-steak in a moment of heat.

Seeing Lu Xiaoya's shy appearance, Su Xinghui was full of pity. He hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Do you believe it? This so-called Director Pan looking for Yang Jiong must be because someone called to plead for mercy, wanting to let Yan Qing off."

Lu Xiaoya said, "Are you telling the truth? Can such a traffic accident case with conclusive evidence be overturned?"

Su Xinghui said, "There's nothing impossible in this world. Sometimes, black can be said to be white."

Lu Xiaoya said, "But we have our statements."

Su Xinghui said, "That's why I agreed to let Yang Jiong stay. Someone will definitely come to discuss with us in a while, asking us to withdraw our statements."

Lu Xiaoya said, "Then I will resolutely not withdraw my statement. I will also expose this matter in the newspaper, so that everyone knows what kind of scum this Yan Qing is!"

Su Xinghui said, "Then let's watch a good show in a while."

Lu Xiaoya nodded and said, "Hmm, but I don't know how Teacher Jiang is now. He is a very good editor, very honest and kind, and has given me a lot of help."

Su Xinghui said, "Then let's go visit him together tonight."

Lu Xiaoya said, "Okay, that's what I was thinking too."

Su Xinghui smiled and reached out his hands to hold Lu Xiaoya's hands, finding them ice-cold. He then remembered that it was still February, and the temperature was quite low. It might be better in the sun outside, but sitting in the room without heating, she must be quite cold.

Su Xinghui wanted to take off his coat and put it on Lu Xiaoya, but just as he was about to take it off, he saw bloodstains on the front of his coat. That was stained when he sent editor Jiang to the hospital, and he hadn't bothered to care about this coat.

Since the coat was stained with blood, naturally he couldn't let Lu Xiaoya wear it. So he held Lu Xiaoya's hands, trying his best to warm Lu Xiaoya with his body temperature.

Lu Xiaoya also saw the bloodstains on Su Xinghui's coat. She said to Su Xinghui, "Let's go to the street together later, I'll buy you a piece of clothing, and throw this one away."

Su Xinghui said, "How can I let you buy me clothes?"
