Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

The police station was too far away and the road was difficult to walk on. They slipped every two steps. After about an hour, He Xi and others finally arrived successfully.

Ning Ci specially picked a separate, clean interrogation room for He Xi and He Fei to wait in first, and gave them two cups of hot water before he turned and walked towards another interrogation room.

He Xi warmed his hands with the cup of hot water, his heart full of doubts. Captain Ning's attitude was really strange. He even agreed to his suggestion of beating Qin Wen up. Could it be that he was really cold-hearted but warm-hearted?

The temperature was too low, and a cup of hot water could not dispel the chill that had settled into my body after an hour's journey. My hands were hot, but my body was still not warm.

Not long after, a police officer appeared and asked He Xi to go to another interrogation room. He Fei naturally wanted to accompany him, but was rejected by the police officer.

He Xi nodded and comforted He Fei, saying that she would be back soon and that she had not done anything wrong and had nothing to be afraid of.

As soon as she stepped through the door, she saw an empty chair next to Qin Wen in the interrogation room. It should be her seat. She couldn't be the one interrogating Qin Wen.

He Xi was different from Qin Wen, she was not restrained, just sitting on a chair. She saw that Qin Wen's face was full of traces of tears, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, did he have any grievances?

Seeing that He Xihou felt a dull pain in Ningci's temple, he raised his hand and rubbed it with his knuckles. Then he lit a cigarette anxiously, and the blue-gray smoke rose up. He coughed lightly and said, "Don't be afraid. Just answer my questions."

He Xi nodded.

The most basic information is name, age, home address and purpose of coming to Harbin.

Ning Ci narrowed his eyes and came to the question that concerned him most: "How do you know that he was the one who spread the rumor?"

The air in the interrogation room smelled unpleasant. He Xi frowned slightly. "Of course I didn't know at first. I was new to the job and had no time to make enemies. But all the rumors pointed to me. I was curious, so I spent some money to find a local boss. I found out the truth three days after the rumor spread."

Ning Ci asked: "Why didn't you call the police at the local police station?"

He Xi: "I found out before going to work this morning. I was going to be late, so I thought about going after get off work in the evening, but... "

He Xi sighed and continued, "The director of the town government in charge of party conduct and discipline came to me and hoped that I would not delve into this matter for fear of affecting the holding of the trade fair. After all, it was me and our town that proposed it."

Ning Ci: "So you choose to endure it?"

He Xi chuckled, "Of course I don't want to, but they used the honor of everyone in the town government compound to coerce me and promised me that they would suppress the rumors temporarily and start an investigation as soon as the meeting is over to give me justice."

Ning Ci rubbed his brows, the problem was a bit complicated, if this matter was investigated in depth, the entire town government compound would be implicated, but as public officials they chose to turn a blind eye to the problem, encouraging unhealthy tendencies and even shielding rumormongers.

Originally, it would have been enough to deal with Qin Wen alone, but the old leader gave him an order: investigate the matter thoroughly.

However, there are many implications behind this incident. The incident can be handled, but after that, her career may not be very good.

Although he has no background, he can still stir up a huge wave. The deputy director, the director of the disciplinary group, and even the mayor may all be held accountable. At this cusp, any disturbance can kill people.

I'm so worried. It's so difficult.

Ning Ci was about to light up the second cigarette since He Xi came in. He Xi hesitated and asked, "Can you please not smoke? The smell is not very pleasant."

Ning Ci paused as he lit the cigarette, sighed, and silently put the cigarette back into the box: "How do you want to deal with this matter? If you want to deal with it seriously, the provincial department will give you justice."

After thinking for a few seconds, He Xi replied: "Mayflies are not enough to shake the big tree. Just deal with the rumormongers."

Ning Ci nodded when she heard this. This was the best, otherwise her future would not be easy.

Qin Wen naturally pleaded guilty and was then transferred to the local police station in Mohe City for handling.

When Qin Wen left, he glanced at He Xi, his eyes filled with reluctance and helplessness.

Yes, some people, without doing anything, are promoted step by step and become successful; some people, struggle all their lives, experience all the sufferings in the world, but ultimately cannot get what they want.

Life is unfair. He Xi closed his eyes while sitting on the chair, feeling extremely helpless and sad.

After signing the transcript, Ning Ci suggested sending He Xi and her sister back to the guesthouse, but He Xi refused, saying that she wanted to walk back by herself to get some fresh air.

When he walked down the stairs, he happened to meet Lu Jinan and Xiao Yan. He Xi slowly lowered his head. When their eyes met, he was stunned, his heart moved slightly, and he didn't know what to say.

She was so smart that she quickly realized the truth. It turned out that it was all his credit. No wonder Captain Ning was so polite.

When the truth came to light, He Xi suddenly felt relaxed.
