I just joined the inspection department, and the whole country is in a panic.

(The previous two chapters have been revised)

Peng Weizhong's words left Li Jinlin speechless!

Yes, he has no way of proving that he has no problems right now.

night.

Inside a private room at the restaurant.

Yang Wen, Peng Weizhong, and Liu Jingtao were having a small drink.

Tonight's topic is nothing more than Li Jinlin.

"Senior, what's the city's opinion on Li Jinlin?" Liu Jingtao asked curiously.

After all, the incident happened right after the promotion and during the public announcement period, so the impact is quite negative.

Doesn't this show that the leader has poor judgment in choosing people?

Therefore, how to make a judgment is also a question worth studying.

"It all depends on Li Jinlin's attitude towards admitting his guilt. If he has a good attitude and reveals the source of the 200,000 yuan in cash, he might get a lighter sentence. Dismissal from his post is certain, and his time in jail might be reduced."

“But he’s not admitting his guilt right now, and he says he’s innocent, but the evidence is conclusive, and he can’t produce any evidence to refute it. If this continues, I don’t think the punishment will be light!” Peng Weizhong shook his head.

“Li Jinlin is currently refusing to plead guilty. Could it be that he is really being framed?” Yang Wen suddenly asked.

"After all, if it were anyone else in the public announcement period, let alone doing something so risky, they probably wouldn't even drink alcohol, since the seven-day public announcement period is the most important seven days!"

“But now the evidence all points to it! His fingerprints are on the cash too,” Liu Jingtao said, frowning.

“I know the evidence points to him, but sometimes a well-planned frame-up can be flawless. For example, when Yi Jianhui framed Lin Nan, if I hadn’t remembered the time, and if my colleagues hadn’t also remembered the time from my words, Lin Nan would have been unable to clear his name and would have become the scapegoat,” Yang Wen said.

These words made Peng Weizhong seem thoughtful.

"We cannot let a bad person go unpunished, but we also cannot wrong any good person."

"Yang Wen, what are your thoughts now?" Peng Weizhong looked at Yang Wen with great interest.

“Brother Peng, I think this case can be investigated further. If we really can’t find any clues, then maybe we really didn’t wrong Li Jinlin!” Yang Wen said, expressing his thoughts.

"Junior, what's your opinion?"

"Senior, I think it would be good to investigate further. If we are found to be innocent, we will inevitably be criticized." Liu Jingtao thought for a moment and then expressed his opinion.

After all, he had a gut feeling that Li Jinlin was being too careless.

How could someone who is careless possibly reach this position?

So he always felt something was amiss!

Especially after Yang Wen cited Lin Nan's case as an example, he felt it would be good to investigate further.

If the investigation fails to uncover anything, then we'll just follow the established procedures.

"Yes, that's what I think too. So, that's settled then. I'm going back to the city in three days. If Li Jinlin still doesn't admit it by then, I'll take him back to the city to keep him under surveillance. He'll probably be handed over to the judiciary in about two weeks."

“So you only have half a month to investigate,” Peng Weizhong said in a deep voice.

However, he didn't have much hope for a thorough investigation!

After all, the evidence is now irrefutable.

Maybe Li Jinlin is just being stubborn!

But as Yang Wen just said, it's better to investigate further if there's even the slightest doubt.

"Great!" Yang Wen was delighted to hear that they were willing to conduct a thorough investigation.

Both publicly and privately, he didn't want to see Li Jinlin wronged.

After all, he was also wronged in his previous life, so he felt a little sympathy.

Of course, on a personal level, if I can solve the case, I can gain a lot of credit!

the next day.

Liu Jingtao then summoned Cao Zhezhang and Yang Wen.

Let the two of them lead a team to conduct an in-depth investigation into Li Jinlin's case.

When Cao Zhezhang heard this, he was somewhat surprised.

He and Yang Wen were summoned separately and given important responsibilities.

Especially when Yang Wen, who had just transferred to their department, was given such an important task, he could tell that the leaders valued Yang Wen highly. No wonder Yang Wen was transferred to their department as soon as he returned from his business trip last time.

It seems I need to pay more attention to Yang Wende from now on.

Back in the monitoring room.

"Xiao Yang, Secretary Liu has asked us to investigate this case thoroughly, but given the current conclusive evidence, what are your thoughts?" Cao Zhezhang asked Yang Wen with a smile.

"Director, since the leadership has instructed us to conduct an in-depth investigation, let's make an assumption!"

“Assuming Li Jinlin was indeed framed, then I think the drunk driver who rear-ended him must be involved. Why don’t we stop here and investigate for now?” Yang Wen said, expressing his opinion.

Since he knew perfectly well that Li Jinlin had been framed, then the drunk driver must be guilty.

"Hmm, you're right. Here's what I'll do: I'll assign you Xiao Zhao and Xiao Lin. You can go with them to investigate first."

"it is good!"

Soon Yang Wen took the order and went to call Xiao Zhao and Xiao Lin.

"Investigate this drunk driver, He Tianjian?"

Xiao Zhao and Xiao Lin looked at each other in bewilderment.

However, the two of them are also seasoned veterans. The director personally assigned Yang Wen a task and asked them to be his assistants. It seems that Yang Wen is the director's new favorite!

Seeing this, the two were naturally willing to cooperate.

"How do I check?" Xiao Zhao asked.

"Here's what we'll do, Lao Zhao, go to the Hedong Police Station and get He Tianjian's phone number. Also, go to the communications department and investigate all his phone calls yesterday! Especially copy back the conversations he made an hour before the rear-end collision."

"Brother Lin and I are going to the bank to check on this person's assets."

In Yang Wen's eyes, since He Tianjian was an accomplice in framing someone, he might be in contact with Yu Bo's cousin Xie Feng. If so, then things would be much easier.

Another point is that if you want someone to do something, you naturally need to pay them money and hush money.

He hoped to find some clues about He Tianjian's assets.

"Row!"

In a blink of an eye.

in the afternoon.

In a small meeting room.

"Old Yang, I've checked. He Tianjian made a total of 6 phone calls yesterday, but all of them were in the morning and afternoon. The last one was ten minutes before the rear-end collision, and it was someone else calling!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Wen's eyes lit up.

If they want to frame Li Jinlin.

So, as the 'driver', He Tianjian would definitely have received advance notice that Li Jinlin had driven home and that he was to rear-end the car.

Yang Wen quickly checked the time.

That matches!

"Has the call transcript been copied back?"

"It's been copied back, listen to it."

He then played it on the computer.

"Hey, Lao He, where are you? Let me tell you, you're drunk, you can't drive home!" That's what the caller said.

"Don't worry, I won't drink and drive. I'll walk home!" He Tianjian said before hanging up the phone.
