When leaving, Chang Wei took one last look at Tonghui Temple, then sat in the car with his eyelids drooped.

"When the case is over, I'll go in with you to take a look." Fan Tuan'er comforted him in a low voice, "Just say you're going in to investigate the case. It won't be a problem."

Chang Wei used his knee to push the backrest of the front driver's seat, let Zhang Long drive, leaned back on the chair, and said leisurely: "It doesn't matter whether you watch it or not, the person is already dead."

"Do you like Li Shutong very much?"

"His poetry is still very good." Chang Wei said, and then paused for a moment and continued: "Because of Grandpa Zhang, I have always disliked monks, but he is an exception. He practices the Vinaya school."

Confucianism strangles the throat, Legalism ties the hands, Buddhism traps the mind, and Taoism lets go, so Chang Wei agreed to let Chang Long learn skills from Old Man Zhang.

Fan Tuan'er didn't know what Vinaya was, and had no interest in Buddhism. He looked at Chang Wei warily and said, "But he abandoned his wife and chose to become a monk. This is extremely irresponsible."

Chang Wei immediately cleared his throat, sat up straight, and said seriously: "Yes, so I said I like his poetry, but I have reservations about his character."

After saying that, he pushed the back of the driver's seat again and said softly, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhang Long quickly explained: "No, team leader, I just thought of something happy."

"Tell me what makes you so happy."

"My wife is about to give birth."

Uh...seems like this is true.

Chang Wei remembered that Zhang Long’s wife’s due date was the end of May, which was about three months away.

This is his second child.

Now we advocate having more children and more blessings, and say there is strength in numbers. This is the peak period of fertility.

In later generations, people gradually began to advocate not getting married or having children.

Chang Wei couldn't understand. If you don't want to get married, then don't get married. If you don't want to have children, then don't have to. These are people's basic rights. But why do people have to publicize this everywhere and drag others into it?

If you don't want to have children, just do it quietly. A small number of widows and widowers can be covered by social welfare and human kindness, but if the number is large, it will be impossible to cover it and the whole society will be dragged down. When that time comes, those who advocate not having children will not be happy in their later years.

"I'll find a chance for you to go back and have a look then."

"Team leader, no need, my parents are taking care of me. Before I left, my wife told me not to interfere with the work."

"You are obedient."

This time Zhang Long did not show off, and said seriously: "Marry a virtuous wife. A good woman will bring prosperity to three generations."

He usually likes to brag in the group, saying that his wife can do everything at home and he is the master at home. As a result, Chang Wei laughs at his wife for living a widow-like marriage.

But in fact, he knew it in his heart and was just bragging. He never dared to fight back when he was beaten.

After saying this, he resumed his playful smile and quickly turned his head to look behind him, "Team Leader, you are now a director, why don't you find a way to change your age and start a family sooner."

"I changed my age? Who can I fool? Besides, read the words 'establish a family and build a career' backwards."

Zhang Long smacked his lips and nodded vigorously. "Team leader, you are right. Since I was promoted to a regular officer, I get scolded less and less often."

Fan Tuaner just watched Chang Wei and Zhang Long chatting and laughing quietly, with a faint smile on her face.

After returning to the provincial department, Chang Wei exchanged greetings with Director Liang, while Peng Mancang was taken directly to the interrogation room by Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.

Before he could even open his mouth, he was beaten up.

Well, that’s how the Dragon Team handles cases.

However, unlike other people who were forced to confess under torture, those who were able to join the Dragon Group and enjoy this treatment have all passed Chang Wei's eyes and will definitely not be wronged.

In less than half an hour, Peng Mancang confessed.

He is not a tough guy and his mental strength is not strong, otherwise why would he burn incense and pray to Buddha for safety?

After getting the confession, Fan Tuaner immediately interrupted Chang Wei's conversation, called him out of the office and reminded him to report to the ministry.

"Why don't you fight yourself?"

"This is your case, and you are the team leader."

“Does it have to be so clear?”

Fan Tuaner was overjoyed at hearing this, and she pulled his arm and walked towards the secret room.

The red telephone dialed the number and after being transferred, it went directly to Old Man Li's desk.

"At least 500,000 kilograms. We have passed the preliminary investigation. Now we can confirm that it is a conspiracy. We don't know how much the other leaders of the grain company have lost. I am afraid that they will be desperate and set fire to the grain warehouse. Hmm... Can we mobilize troops to seal off the grain warehouse first?"

"Isn't burning the warehouse a normal operation? It's the rule of balancing accounts!"

"Okay, I'll wait in the office. Tell them to hurry up."

"It's still confidential for now. I brought back everyone who was there, but I'm afraid there will be omissions since it was in a public place after all."

"Minister, what do you mean by that? What do you mean I've only been here for one day? Is this what I want? I don't want to do this either. Should I pretend not to see a case?"

"Pressure? What kind of pressure can I have?"

"When I am rich, I will be lustful; when I am poor, I will move away; when I am powerful, I will yield; when I am seduced, I will obey; if you don't hit me, I will confess; if you hit me, I will cry; if I am angry, I will get angry; if I have money, I will spend it; if I am hungry, I will eat; if I am tired, I will sleep; if there is hardship, I will not eat it; if there is work, I will not do it. I am a person who listens to advice and has no pressure at all."

Even when Fan Tuan'er was standing nearby, he could hear Old Man Li's hearty laughter on the other end of the phone.

Chang Wei gradually stood up straight, put away the joking expression on his face, and said loudly: "Please rest assured, Minister, I will keep your words in mind."

After hanging up the phone, Fan Tuan'er blinked her eyes and asked curiously, "What did the minister say to you last? Can you tell me?"

"Yes." Chang Wei smiled and said softly, "He was afraid that I would be under too much pressure, so he gave me a poem by Xin Qiji."

"Which sentence?"

"A man's heart is as strong as iron until his death. Let's try to mend the crack in the sky."

After saying that, he opened the office door, looked up to the sky and laughed as he left.

In just a quarter of an hour, the guard called and Zhang Long and the leaders of the provincial department trotted out and brought in several officers.

Fan Tuan'er blocked them outside the office and refused to let them in. He said "hush" and said seriously, "The chief is calling, be quiet."

Everyone immediately kept silent, retreated to the end of the corridor quietly, and stood at attention in an orderly manner.

A few minutes later, Chang Wei pushed open the door and came out, nodding to Fan Tuan'er, "He called to encourage me because he was worried that I might have concerns. He has already sent a message to General Wang, and he will come here directly to support me after he gets off the train."

"The case is being handed over?"

"He is here to investigate the defense. We will investigate the case. If there are any problems, he will come forward."

After saying this, he looked at the officers and provincial department leaders at the end of the corridor, strode over, saluted each other and said: "Supreme instructions, this is no longer an ordinary case of corruption. They are extremely evil and have brought disaster to the country and the people. They have all been captured by the bourgeoisie and have become traitors to the Party and the people. We must not be lenient."

Of course, the content of the phone call was not just these few sentences, and Chang Wei did not convey all of them. He only said decisively at the end: "Kill him. Not killing him is not enough to appease the public anger."
