Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

"Old Chen, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"I won't beat around the bush with you. The main point is the Zhaojiayu arson case."

In the Public Security Bureau Director's office, Fang Xinjian and Chen Wei were sitting on the sofa.

When Fang Jianxin heard Chen Wei mention the arson case again, he knew that it must be Ma Yaoming who found him through his connections.

"Old Chen, the Criminal Investigation Team is still investigating this matter, and there's no conclusion yet.

I know you have some favors that you can't shirk, but if the facts are clear and the evidence is irrefutable, we still need to handle it impartially."

Fang Jianxin did not speak in official language or shirk responsibility with Chen Wei. He had been transferred from the Procuratorate to the Director of the Public Security Bureau for more than half a year, and he had a general understanding of the people and things under him.

Especially for Chen Wei, many people have reported some situations to him privately.

"Director Fang is absolutely right." Chen Wei was a little embarrassed, but he still said, "From what I've heard, Ma Hongzhi is quite good in all aspects. As for the arson, I really don't believe it."

"Whether you believe it or not, we still have to look at the evidence. Don't worry, Old Chen. I also believe that the Criminal Investigation Brigade will handle it impartially. Let's wait and see the results. You can also talk to Ma Yaoming and tell him to relax and not have any psychological burden."

Fang Jianxin obviously didn't want to continue the conversation.

"This one……"

"report!"

Chen Wei was still thinking about explaining a few words, but he didn't expect Zhang Bingkun to suddenly rush over at this time.

"Come in! Bingkun, what's going on?"

Fang Jianxin asked the question even though he knew the answer.

In fact, just a few minutes before Chen Wei came in, Zhang Bingkun had called him and said that there had been a breakthrough in the case and both of them had confessed. He came here at this time to report the situation to him.

"Director Fang, both suspects in the Zhaojia Island arson case have confessed, and their statements are essentially consistent. If we add to the evidence we have, then this case can basically be concluded."

Zhang Bingkun greeted Chen Wei. Seeing that Fang Jianxin asked directly, he did not care about Chen Wei being there, but reported the latest situation.

"Clap clap clap!"

After hearing Zhang Bingkun's report, Chen Wei suddenly felt as if his old face was slapped.

He was just saying nice things to Fang Jianxin, but in the blink of an eye the interrogation had come to an end. How embarrassed was he?

The whole case happened only more than ten hours ago, but Ma Hongzhi had already confessed everything. How could he continue with his words?

"Not bad, not bad. Bingkun is very efficient. Let me see the interrogation records."

Fang Jianxin deliberately praised Zhang Bingkun, and at the same time he also intentionally told Chen Wei about it in order to shut him up.

Zhang Bingkun smiled happily when he received the praise. He quickly handed over the information in his hand, and then introduced the relevant situation on the side.

A few minutes later, Fang Jianxin put down the materials in his hand and deliberately asked, "Old Chen, what do you think?"

"I'm not in charge of criminal investigation, so I can't say for sure. The general direction still has to be determined by you, Director Fang." Chen Wei's embarrassment was evident. "I have some things to take care of over there. Please go ahead and I'll report back to you later."

Chen Wei stood up, said goodbye and left the office without waiting for Fang Jianxin to speak.

Fang Jianxin shook his head and didn't say much.

In his opinion, Chen Wei was also an old employee of the Public Security Bureau, and he was about to retire, so he did not pursue the matter any further.

"Bingkun, just continue with the rest of the process. Don't be influenced by others on how to do it. Everything should be based on evidence." Fang Jianxin said with a pleasant face, and at the same time with an affirmative and unquestionable tone.

Zhang Bingkun understood and stood at attention immediately, "Yes!"

……

"Excuse me, is this Brother Zhao Aiguo's home?"

Two days later, when Zhao Wenhao was still busy at home, he suddenly heard someone calling outside the yard. He turned around and looked, but he didn't expect it was Ma Yaoming and his wife.

"Hey, isn't that Mayor Ma? What brings you here? Why, you came to see if my fire is burning cleanly enough? Do you want to add some more firewood?"

Zhao Wenhao slowly put down the things in his hands, walked to the gate of the yard, and blocked Ma Yaoming's way.

Ma Yaoming forced a smile and raised the gift in his hand, "Wenhao, I'm sorry. Hongzhi is young and naive, and I acted impulsively. I came here today to apologize to your whole family!"

"Yes, yes, Wenhao, where are your parents? We came here specially to see them today and want to apologize to them in person."

Qiu Mei, who was following behind Ma Yaoming, hurried forward and looked around. Seeing Wei Chunlan helping the bricklayer in the distance, she waved to her hurriedly.

The couple had obviously made arrangements. They knew that Zhao Aiguo was greedy for money and they knew Wei Chunlan's character even better, so they wanted to make a breakthrough from the two of them.

Unfortunately, what they don’t know is that Zhao Wenhao is now the head of the family.

Just yesterday, Zhang Bingkun informed Zhao Wenhao of the current progress. The Public Security Bureau has completed the relevant procedures, and all the materials have been submitted to the court.

If nothing unexpected happens, the sentence will start at at least eight years.

Of course, if the victim issues a letter of forgiveness, it may play a certain role in the final judgment.

So, Zhao Wenhao knew very well what Ma Yaoming and his wife wanted when they came to his house today.

"You two, if you have anything to say, just say it here. You don't need to go to my parents. I have the final say on this matter."

Zhao Wenhao stretched out his hand to block Qiu Mei's way, unwilling to let him step into the yard at all.

"Ahem, Wenhao, we're here to sincerely apologize. Our two families almost became relatives after all. Can you please let Hongzhi go if you don't consider the monk's face and the Buddha's face?

Look, we are old, we are both so old, and we only have one son, Hongzhi. If anything happens to him, how will we live? Wuuwuwu..."

Seeing Zhao Wenhao's expression, Ma Yaoming immediately played the emotional card, crying and sobbing.

Qiu Mei sat down on the ground, slapping her hands and saying, "Son, if you get caught, what will I do? I'd rather die."

After saying that, he banged his head against the ground.

Unfortunately, there is no cement floor here now. It's all yellow mud, so even if you bang your head on the ground a lot, it won't be a big deal.

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place." Zhao Wenhao sneered, unmoved. "You two, please leave. You are not welcome in our house."
