"Director Du, you misunderstood."

Seeing that Director Du was getting emotional, Xie Beichen hurriedly explained: "What I mean is that based on the results of my current investigation, I also have some speculations that are completely different from the conclusions I reached before.

It’s just that right now, I haven’t found any conclusive evidence.”

"Comrade Xie, do you mean that you also believe that Old Lu is innocent?"

As soon as Xie Beichen said this, Director Du's eyes lit up. His reaction at this time was obviously more excited, like a drowning man grabbing a floating log, he came forward and grabbed Xie Beichen's wrist, whispering: "That means, Lao Lu still has a chance, right?"

“But Director Du, you should know that all the evidence now in plain sight is extremely unfavorable to Comrade Lu.

If we want to overturn his case, we need evidence that is convincing enough for everyone.

To be honest, the comrade who came with me yesterday has already gone to Comrade Lu Weike's hometown to investigate. I believe we will be able to get feedback soon.

And now, the only one who can help me in Beijing is you, Director Du."

Xie Beichen looked at Director Du and continued seriously: "If you really want to do this for Lu Weike's good, then I hope you can cooperate with me in the next work."

"Don't worry, I will try my best to cooperate."

Hearing what Xie Beichen said, Director Du was obviously relieved.

He felt in his pocket, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, took a deep puff, and then continued: "Old Lu and I have been colleagues for many years, and we also fought together in the past.

Old Lu is an honest person and doesn't like to talk much.

But he is never vague in what he does.

And you have also learned about his family situation. It has not been easy for the couple over the years. Even though they were in such a difficult situation, they still gritted their teeth and adopted the child of a martyr from our former factory and have been raising him until now.

I have also told the comrades who came to investigate before that Lao Lu is not a bad person and there may be some hidden story behind this matter, but as soon as I mentioned it, those comrades..."

At this point, Director Du couldn't help but sigh, and turned back to look at Xie Beichen: "Comrade Xie, you are the first person who came to me and told me that there is still room for maneuver in the matter of Lao Lu.

I believe in you, and I believe that good will prevail over evil in this world!

We will definitely be able to seek justice for Old Lu."

"I want to ask, during the time that Lu Weike's brother has been at the factory, does he have any good connections with anyone?"

Seeing that Director Du was willing to cooperate, Xie Beichen breathed a sigh of relief, and naturally, the questions he asked began to become more divergent.

Sometimes clues are hidden in these details. Xie Beichen carefully took out his notebook and began to carefully record the relevant questions.

“If you’re talking about people with whom I have a good relationship, I haven’t really paid much attention to that.

However, I remember that Lao Lu's father's condition worsened for a period of time. At that time, both he and his wife were busy taking care of his father, and the children who came back home had to eat at their neighbor Aunt Luo's house.

During that time, his younger brother also ate at Aunt Luo's house with the children, and seemed to have a good relationship with Aunt Luo's son.

Why don't I take you there to ask, maybe you can get some information."

Director Du did not hesitate at this point. He made a gesture of invitation and took Xie Beichen towards the factory building not far away.

Aunt Luo's two sons are now working in the workshop. Director Du went over there familiarly and quickly brought out the two young men who were busy at their posts.

"Uncle Lu's brother?"

After hearing Director Du's question, Aunt Luo's eldest son Wan Lei was stunned at first, frowned and thought for a long time before speaking: "He had eaten at our house for a few days before, and had some contact with us, but..."

"Just tell me what it is, there's no need to be so particular nowadays. This concerns your uncle Lu's innocence!"

The matter had not been investigated very clearly, so Director Du could not explain some of his words too clearly. He could only urge Wan Lei to explain himself quickly.

"Hey, that guy is not a good person. To be honest, we only contacted him for Uncle Lu's sake.

I heard from Uncle Lu that he suffered a lot in his hometown, and now he comes here just to find a job to make a living and find a way out.

But when we got in touch with him during that period, we found that the boy didn't look like he had ever suffered any hardship.

When we first heard that he wanted to come and work with us, we gave him some advice, saying that he needed to exercise his physique, otherwise the work in our steel mill would be heavy and his small body might not be able to handle it.

But when he heard that he would have to suffer, his expression changed immediately!

So later on, we two brothers couldn’t say anything to him.”

Wan Lei scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Later, we felt that he was not the same kind of person as us, so after a period of contact, we lost interest in him."

"Why didn't you tell your Uncle Lu about this earlier?"

Director Du had a headache. He kicked Wan Lei in dissatisfaction and cursed angrily: "You guys are killing people, don't you know that?"

"Uncle Du, you can't blame us for this!

Don't you know how much Uncle Lu cared about his younger brother?

If we gossip about others behind their backs, it will be like we are gossiping! They are brothers, and we are juniors after all. It is not nice to gossip about them like that!"

Wan Lei also looked at Director Du with an aggrieved expression, and wailed with some helplessness.
