Before Yuan Hongjie finished speaking, Peng Xiaoju started shouting.

I couldn't help but kneel down to Liu Hongyi again.

"Sister Peng, don't get excited!"

Liu Hongyi said.

"Calm yourself down first and tell us one thing at a time."

"You just said that your son Wei Mingjiang is the accountant of the Seven Stars Brigade. What did he do before?"

"He was a high school graduate and had been a substitute teacher in our Qixing Brigade. Wei Minghua was the brigade's accountant at the time... How could he, who hadn't even graduated from junior high school, keep accounts? And his father, Wei Yingchun, was the brigade's Party Secretary... It wasn't right for the father to be Party Secretary and the son to be the accountant. The members were very dissatisfied, so they made a change. My son Wei Mingjiang became the accountant, and Wei Minghua went to the joint school to teach as a substitute..."

"That's great! He's bullying kids in the joint school..."

"Those little girls were only in their teens, and he bullied them... I heard he even slept with several of them..."

Yuan Hongjie said with a stern face, "Peng Xiaoju, don't make such groundless claims. The police have investigated this matter, and they don't believe what you're saying!"

"The Public Security Bureau was dragged to death by them..."

Peng Xiaoju blurted out.

"Wei Yingqiu is our district party secretary. He has plenty of connections..."

Yuan Hongjie's face was gloomy, and Liu Hongyi couldn't help but glance at him, his eyes already somewhat stern. Yuan Hongjie was startled and swallowed back the words on his lips, but his face had already turned extremely ugly.

Liu Hongyi's look made him feel very uncomfortable. More importantly, he didn't want anything to go wrong.

He served as the director of a certain committee in Zhuang'an County for three years and as the county party secretary for five years. He could be said to have absolute power.

By the same token, if this case is truly a miscarriage of justice, then Yuan Hongjie will likely suffer the consequences. Of course, whether he will be punished depends on how deeply he is involved in this matter.

"Sister Peng, I will send someone to investigate further. If it's true, we won't let any criminal go. Now, please continue with the story about Wei Mingjiang and Wei Minghua."

Wu Ming and Fu Xinchun looked at each other and took a deep breath.

They are both old-timers and have vaguely noticed that there are some problems with this case.

As Peng Xiaoju had said, Wei Yingqiu, as the Qingqiao District Party Committee Secretary, was indeed a significant figure in the small Zhuang'an County. The people at the County Public Security Bureau would most likely give him face.

As for serious crimes like murder and rape, can someone else also take the blame? Haha...

And Liu Hongyi's impolite look towards Yuan Hongjie could even be seen as a warning.

Comrade Xiao Liu is young, but he has a bad temper!

It makes sense if you think about it.

He had just arrived and needed to establish his authority. Even if he wanted to win over the Public Security Bureau and Wei Yingqiu, it was Liu Hongyi who should do this favor, not give it to Yuan Hongjie for nothing.

Old Yuan, you are no longer the secretary of the Zhuang'an County Party Committee. Please understand this clearly!

"Yes, Secretary..."

Peng Xiaoju has now identified Liu Hongyi and responds positively to every word he says.

"That Wei Minghua couldn't continue at the joint school. The parents of those little girls came to the school with hoes and tried to beat him up... Then the tea oil factory in town was looking for workers, and Wei Yingqiu hired him there."

"After arriving at the tea oil factory, he became even more aggressive... He hung out with some of the town's young men and bullied people everywhere. If he saw a pretty girl, he wouldn't hesitate to flirt with her in front of a crowd, even dragging her to a deserted place..."

"My son, Wei Mingjiang, is an honest man. He worked as an accountant in the brigade. He discovered some discrepancies in the accounts and told Wei Yingchun about it. He was scolded and told to do it if he could, but if he couldn't, he should go back home and farm... Later, he fired my son... My son was not satisfied and went to the town and district to report him. He was scolded by the town and district officials again and kicked out..."
