I asked you to pursue a career, but you turned out to be a scumbag

"Zhang Hao!"

Upon hearing this, Kuang Yongchang immediately said, "Old Shen, you are confused. How could you let Zhang Hao, a newly hired comrade, handle such an important case?"

Shen Hongcai looked helpless. He had not expected that this case would become such a sensation and known to everyone.

"I was negligent."

"In this case, immediately let an experienced prosecutor handle it. If that doesn't work, you can do it yourself!" said Kuang Yongchang.

"If this matter is not handled properly, not only will the reputation of your procuratorate be ruined, but the reputation of the entire city will also be ruined!" Kuang Yongchang said earnestly.

"I see."

After Shen Hongcai hung up the phone, he immediately notified all the cadres at the section level and above in the procuratorate to come to the meeting.

Originally, he wanted to give Zhang Hao a chance to train, and he would take the blame if anything happened.

But now it seems that I can't hold on at all. Not to mention myself, even if the provincial prosecutor came, he might not be able to hold on.

Soon Liu Zhengde, Su Mingzhe, Xu Zhongzhong, and several department heads appeared in the conference room.

Shen Hongcai said seriously, "I believe everyone knows the reason for this emergency meeting. It's the murder case that's been making a lot of noise online."

"This case has not only alarmed the provincial government, but has also been registered at the highest levels. People all over the country are paying attention, so this is a tough battle. Who among you is willing to take it on?"

Liu Zhengde and his men were silent for a while, with a pensive look on their faces. To be honest, in their opinion, taking on this case was a thankless task.

Whether it is severe punishment or lenient sentence, there will always be people who are dissatisfied.

More importantly, they have no idea what their superiors are thinking. If the results of their handling of the matter do not satisfy the bigwigs above them, it will affect their careers!

At the very least, you will be benched and unable to move forward in your life.

In serious cases, you will be transferred to some remote countryside and wait for retirement.

Seeing no one talking, Shen Hongcai tapped the table with his knuckles: "Why is no one talking? No one wants to take this case?"

Still no one spoke.

Shen Hongcai said with a stern expression: "Are you still a Party member? The country and the people need you now, but you are all so scared that you dare not even speak. What's the point of the country supporting you?"

"Sha Tianrui, you are the director of the first department. This case falls under your department's responsibility. Please give us your opinion."

Sha Tianrui had long guessed that no one would take this case, and Shen Hongcai would definitely call his name, so he had already prepared a plan in his mind.

"Prosecutor Shen, it's not that I don't want to take the case, but this case has caused a sensation across the country. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it and it will affect the reputation of our procuratorate. Otherwise, you should choose someone else."

"Since you don't have the ability, I think you should quit your job as the director of the department and replace it with someone who is capable." Shen Hongcai snorted coldly.

When Sha Tianrui heard this, he said nothing. If he didn't want to do it, then he didn't. Anyway, his administrative level was still the same, so it wouldn't affect anything.

Shen Hongcai glanced at everyone in the conference room. Everyone lowered their heads and acted like cowards, refusing to speak.

Finally, he sighed and said, "Okay, that's all for today's meeting. Let's all disperse."

Liu Zhengde and others stood up and left the meeting room.

After leaving, Wu Ye, the director of the Second Procuratorate Department, said to Sha Tianrui, "Old Sha, I heard that this case was taken back from the Development Zone Procuratorate by Zhang Hao from your team. Isn't he harming people?"

"That's right, he simply doesn't know his place and dares to take on any case."

"This kind of person is just too ambitious. If he stays in the procuratorate, he will be a disaster."

"If it weren't for him, it wouldn't be us who would be worried now, but the people in the Development Zone Procuratorate."

Su Mingzhe heard several people complaining and wanted to add fuel to the fire, but then he remembered that he was busy with activities to get promoted to deputy prosecutor, so he decided not to make things more complicated.

Once I am promoted to deputy prosecutor, it will be easy to deal with him.

Shen Hongcai was still in the conference room, feeling a bit of a headache. Zhang Hao had really given him a difficult problem this time.

If no one is willing to take over the case, I will have to do it myself.

But to be honest, he himself had no idea about this case. However, he was already at this age and would retire in a few years. It was basically impossible for him to move up a level.

It doesn't matter if I'm criticized by thousands of people, but before that, I still have to seek help off the field.

So he took out his phone and called, "Old leader, can you give me a glimpse into what the higher-ups are thinking about that case?"

"Handle the case according to the law and regulations!" said the person on the other end of the phone.

Shen Hongcai was a little confused. What did it mean to handle cases in accordance with the law?

According to the law, there is no need to accept criminal punishment.

But judging by the current direction of public opinion, if we do this, it will probably cause public sentiment to waver, right?

"Old leader, what exactly does it mean to abide by the law and regulations?"

"To be honest, I don't know either. I only know that the higher-ups are paying attention to this case, but the specific direction has not yet come out. You have to figure it out on your own. If it doesn't work, go ask the Supreme People's Procuratorate and see what they can do!" The person on the other end of the phone said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Hongcai could only express his gratitude and then hung up the phone. He did have a few connections in the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and was just about to find out the phone number and call to ask.

"lead!"

Zhao Weiyi walked into the meeting room.

"What's wrong?" Shen Hongcai asked.

Zhao Weiyi replied: "Leader, a group of reporters came outside and asked to interview the case."

Shen Hongcai felt his head hurt even more. Now he didn't even know who would handle this case. How could he accept an interview?

As Shen Hongcai's secretary, Zhao Weiyi was always trying to figure out Shen Hongcai's thoughts. So when he saw Shen Hongcai like this, he asked, "Leader, how about I kick them out?"

Shen Hongcai pressed his temple and said, "Forget it. If you don't accept the interview, those serious newspapers are fine, but those other tabloids, who knows what nonsense they will say. Let them in."

"Yes!"

Soon, Zhao Weiyi walked into the conference room with a large group of reporters, at least a dozen of them.

After these reporters came in, they all stared at Shen Hongcai with burning eyes.

There has not been any official response to this case yet, and the case is being hotly discussed online. As long as it is released quickly enough, it will definitely attract a lot of attention.

Shen Hongcai cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, I'm the Chief Prosecutor of the Municipal Procuratorate—Shen Hongcai. I understand the purpose of your visit, journalists."

"If you have any questions, as long as they don't involve confidentiality, I will do my best to respond."

"Prosecutor Shen..."

A reporter just stood up.

The door of the conference room suddenly opened.

Zhang Hao walked into the conference room and said, "Prosecutor Shen, why didn't anyone notify me to come to the press conference?"

When Shen Hongcai saw Zhang Hao, his brows furrowed and he asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

Zhang Hao said, "As the prosecutor in charge of this case, I know the most about it. Is it abnormal for me to come?"

When Shen Hongcai heard this, his brows furrowed and he immediately whispered, "This case is of great importance now. You are no longer needed. I will take over and continue to handle it."

Zhang Hao immediately said dissatisfiedly: "Prosecutor Shen, you are already this old, and you are still trying to snatch opportunities from a young man like me?"

Shen Hongcai was speechless. Who is trying to snatch the opportunity from you? Do you think this is a good thing?

He scolded in a low voice: "Opportunity is bullshit. If you can't handle this case well, your career will end here. I'm helping you again. Get out of here now."

Although Shen Hongcai wanted Zhang Hao to leave, those reporters were like cats smelling fish, so how could they let Zhang Hao leave...
