Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

"monkey."

"Ah."

"You really don't treat me like an outsider, huh? What? Now you want to wash your hands of the business?"

"Senior, what are you saying? You're my brother, my own brother!" Hou Liangping said matter-of-factly, "I can't handle this case, and I'm not good at debating, so only you can step in. Besides, Juanjuan's note was for you, and you promised Juanjuan you'd help her... Senior, you won't go back on your word, will you?"

"Who said you can't debate? You're quite the talker, aren't you? And you're pretty good at using moral blackmail too! Monkey, did I underestimate you before?"

"Senior..." Hou Liangping took out a cigarette, lit it for Qi Tongwei, and said obsequiously, "To be honest, I admire no one but my senior in my life. How about this, if you can get Wang Qiang acquitted, I'll treat you to dinner."

“Monkey, I don’t need your meal. I’m defending Wang Qiang because I believe he is innocent. The law should not yield to illegality.”

"So, senior, you've agreed?"

“I will talk to Minister Qu about this, and I will argue my case at the pre-trial hearing.”

"You'll be the one to debate at the hearing?"

"How about you come?"

"No, no, no..." Hou Liangping quickly waved his hand, "Senior, Wan Qi is an old-fashioned guy. His view is that Wang Qiang committed excessive killing, and many previous cases have been judged this way. Can you beat him?"

"You don't have confidence in me?"

"Yes, I'm confident." Hou Liangping put his arm around Qi Tongwei's shoulder. "Senior, from now on you'll be my father."

"Get lost, I don't have a fat, big-eared son like you."

A week ago, Zhong Zhengguo contacted Qi Tongwei by phone, asking if he was interested in going to the remote Shaanxi and Gansu regions for some training.

Qi Tongwei is not stupid.

He knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he also knew that Zhong Zhengguo was paving the way for his career.

Going to Shaanxi and Gansu for training was tough, but if you could get through those one or two years, it would be like adding a golden touch to your political career.

With this resume, it will be much easier to advance further.

Qi Qingshan is gone.

Now all alone, Qi Tongwei had no more attachments.

If there's anything I'm attached to, it's only Zhong Xiaoai.

This girl was the last glimmer of light in his life, giving him warmth and inspiring him to move forward without hesitation.

In the future, they will still be a family.

Actually, there's no need for the future.

The current Zhong family, including Zhong Zhengguo, Gu Jinhua, Old Master Zhong, and Zhong Zhengqian, all treat Qi Tongwei as an outsider.

At the same time, high expectations were placed on Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei didn't want to disappoint them.

According to Zhong Zhengguo's plan, after the New Year, Qi Tongwei will leave the procuratorate and head to the distant Shaanxi and Gansu provinces.

Before leaving the procuratorate, Qi Tongwei also wanted to use his own strength to do his part for the political and legal departments.

Wang Qiang's case is a typical example.

After understanding the whole case, Qi Tongwei realized one thing.

One crime pollutes a river.

A wrong decision can pollute the entire water source.

Fairness and justice should not be rigid.

The debate surrounding Wang Qiang's case, from the very end, whether it was manslaughter or self-defense, has affected far more than just one family.

Rather, it represents an advancement in criminal law.

Fairness and justice.

What Qi Tongwei sought in his life.

……

After leaving the hospital, Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping went straight to the detention center and found the suspect, Wang Qiang.

At this moment, Wang Qiang, like Hao Ping, had no expression on his face, but his eyes were full of despair.

Upon seeing Qi Tongwei, he slightly raised his head, looking somewhat reserved and a little afraid.

"Do you smoke?"

"I won't smoke." Wang Qiang shook his head, struggled for a moment, and asked, "Officer, how long will I be sentenced to?"

“My name is Qi Tongwei. I’m not a policeman, but a prosecutor.” Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and continued, “How long you will be sentenced is not something I can decide. I’m here to understand some things from you and try my best to… defend your innocence.”

Not guilty?

In a daze, a glimmer of hope flashed in Wang Qiang's cloudy eyes...

Chapter 156 Those who hear it are heartbroken, those who listen shed tears.

In the solemn interrogation room, Wang Qiang was visibly timid and spoke in a very soft voice.

Even Qi Tongwei had to listen attentively.

To help him relax, Qi Tongwei asked Hou Liangping to pour him a glass of warm water and gently handed it to him.

"Don't be nervous. The case hasn't gone to trial yet. For now, you're just a suspect. All you need to do is cooperate with me and tell me the truth, and I'll find a way to defend you."

Wang Qiang took the water glass and took a small sip.

Then he took a deep breath, seemingly relaxing a little.

"Comrade Qi, is everything you just said true? Do I really have a chance to avoid going to jail?"

"Anything is possible before the case is classified, so I need to know the truth, and it's best not to miss a single word."

"let me see."

After seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, Wang Qiang felt much better. After a moment of recollection, he said, "I remember it was early August. The weather was terribly hot. My wife and I were making dumplings at home when suddenly we heard a car horn coming from the alley. Before we could figure out what was going on, we heard a dog barking. When I opened the door, I saw that Da Huang was dead."

Who is Big Yellow?

"My dog, Dahuang, is very well-behaved. He never bites and is very obedient. Sometimes he even helps us look after Juanjuan..."

how to say.

Wang Qiang was a typical farmer who was illiterate and his conversations often missed the point.

Five minutes passed, and he kept talking about Big Yellow.

That's the dog.

"Stop, stop, stop..." Qi Tongwei got down to business, "I want to know who killed Da Huang."

"Liu Jin!"

Wang Qiang trembled uncontrollably when the name was mentioned, seemingly terrified.

“Liu Jin…” Qi Tongwei stared into Wang Qiang’s eyes, “Is he the one you killed?”

"Yes." Wang Qiang swallowed hard, his hands on the interrogation table clapping back and forth.

What was Liu Jin doing at that time?

He killed my dog!

"What was used to kill him?"

"A knife, a wood-chopping knife!"

"and then?"

"Then..." Wang Qiang looked pained, seemingly reluctant to recall, "Then he put the knife in the car and waved at me again?"

"You went?"

"I dare not not go."

"What happens next?"

“He punched me, then chained me up with a dog chain, and even put the key in his pocket.”

Did you resist?

"I...I don't dare."

"What happens next?"

"My wife, Hao Ping, came out of the room."

At this point, Wang Qiang's eyes reddened.

Not only were her eyes red, but her breathing was also rapid, and bitter tears slid down her cheeks.

"Where's the back?"

Qi Tongwei knew he shouldn't reopen other people's wounds like that.
