As they approached, the figures of the police officers behind the interrogation table no longer obstructed their view.
Finally, they made their way around to the side of the interrogation chair.
When they saw the face clearly, time froze at that moment.
That familiar face, which should have appeared in the Attorney General's office, planning and strategizing, was now filled with dejection and fatigue that they had never seen before.
His eye sockets were sunken, his lips were chapped, and his hair, once meticulously combed, was now a little disheveled.
He was handcuffed tightly to the armrest of the interrogation chair.
It’s Ji Changming.
It is the quarterly inspection that they have been screaming for all the way and pinning all their hopes on.
It is an indestructible institutional umbrella in their eyes.
Boom!
Hou Liangping felt as if his brain was struck by thunder, and everything went blank in an instant.
All the voices, all the thoughts, all the struggles and cries vanished at this moment.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out as his throat was filled with cement.
Everything before my eyes was so absurd, so unreal, more terrifying than the most bizarre nightmare.
He had just shouted in the car with confidence that the seasonal inspector would come to pick them up and that he would bring justice to them.
But reality gave him the loudest slap in the face.
His savior, his last hope, was sitting right in front of him, just like him, no, even worse off than him, a prisoner awaiting trial.
Chen Hai's reaction was even more intense. He staggered back a step, his eyes widening in disbelief, and he murmured unconsciously, "Ji...Ji Jian...?"
The voice was as light as a gust of wind, full of broken terror.
The man called "Quarterly Inspector" slowly raised his head and his cloudy eyes fell on them.
When he saw clearly that it was Hou Liangping and Chen Hai, the corners of Ji Changming's mouth twitched, and he tried to force out a bitter smile, but in the end it just turned into a long, desperate sigh.
This sigh, like a heavy hammer, completely shattered the last bit of hope in Hou Liangping and Chen Hai's hearts.
That's not acting.
That's not a misunderstanding.
That's the sky falling.
Hou Liangping felt that his legs could no longer support the weight of his body, and he collapsed completely. If the soldier behind him had not quickly supported him, he would have collapsed to the ground.
It’s over.
It's all over.
The so-called Beijing official status, the so-called old classmate relationship, and the so-called rules within the system have all become a joke at this moment.
Their greatest supporter had fallen before them.
The tide is gone.
The iron door of the interrogation room slammed shut behind them. The heavy sound nailed the final nail in the coffin of their political lives.
Hou Liangping is about to face trial.
Attack General Zhao Yuanchao.
And they used lynching against General Zhao Yuanchao, causing his old injuries to relapse and nearly leading to his death.
……
I just saw a book:
It has quite my charm.
What I wrote was bad enough, and what he wrote was just stone. I can't be the only one who was blinded. I am a good person, so I will recommend it to my brothers to try.
Hou Liangping is investigating me, Zhao Mengsheng? Take him out and execute him!
Introduction
Zhao Mengsheng flew to Handong and was forced to stop his car by Hou Liangping on the way.
Hou Liangping made a high-profile move to arrest Zhao Mengsheng.
"Stop the car, you are suspected of a crime, please accept arrest!"
Zhao Mengsheng got out of the car and said, "Well done, that's great! You really made your father-in-law proud!"
"Take it!"
Give an order.
Hou Liangping was arrested.
Hou Liangping: "You can't arrest me, I have someone above me!"
Zhao Mengsheng smiled: "There's someone up there? Great! Put him in solitary confinement!"
"I want to see how powerful Hou Liangping's connections are. Show me everything you have, and I'll see how strong your background is!"
Chapter 99 Hou Liangping is madly throwing the blame, and Ji Changming is dragged into the water
Dead silence.
Inside the interrogation room, the air solidified into heavy cement, making it hard to breathe.
Hou Liangping's body was still shaking slightly uncontrollably, and the roar of the iron door closing kept echoing in his mind. The sound was like an insurmountable barrier, completely isolating him from the world of confidence and bright prospects in the past.
He caught a glimpse of Ji Changming from the corner of his eye. The man who had once been like a god in his heart was now like a statue without a soul, handcuffed to a chair, even his breathing seemed so weak.
Despair, like the cold water of the deep sea, surged in from all directions, drowning his last bit of strength to struggle.
At this moment, there was a slight "click" sound and the iron door was pushed open again.
This time, the person who walked in was no longer an ordinary police officer, but a man in a neat military uniform.
The star on his shoulder gleamed coldly under the dim light of the interrogation room. Every step he took was steady and powerful. The sound of his leather boots hitting the ground was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of Hou Liangping and Chen Hai.
The man was about fifty years old, with a face as if chiseled by a knife and an axe, and eyes as sharp as an eagle, without any emotion.
The iron-blooded murderous aura that came from his body, which had been soaked in a sea of corpses and blood, instantly filled the entire space, making the already oppressive atmosphere even more suffocating.
He walked straight to the presiding judge's seat and sat down without even looking at the files on the table. His cold eyes were fixed on Hou Liangping, who was slumped in the chair.
"Chief of Staff of the 20th Army, Zhou Shoujing."
He introduced himself in a low voice, but every word was clear and metallic. "Now, I'll ask the questions and you'll answer them."
Hou Liangping was startled. Chief of Staff?
The Chief of Staff of the 20th Army personally interrogated?
This realization almost froze his already cold blood.
He finally understood how big the hole he had broken was.
Zhou Shoujing leaned forward slightly, crossed his hands on the table, and stared intently at Hou Liangping's face like a searchlight. "First question, why did you organize the attack on General Zhao Yuanchao's car?"
"Attack?"
Hou Liangping's lips trembled. These two words were like two red-hot iron rods, piercing into his ears.
He subconsciously wanted to argue: "No...it wasn't an attack! We were...acting according to the law! We were arresting people!"
"arrest?"
Zhou Shoujing's lips curled up in a cold arc. "Mobilizing more than a dozen people, forcing the car to stop on the highway, dragging a founding general out of the car, and handcuffing him, is this what you call handling the case according to the law?"
His voice suddenly rose, like thunder from the blue sky: "What kind of law are you using?!"
Hou Liangping was shocked by the loud shout and his whole body trembled, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
His mind was in a mess. All the legal provisions and case procedures turned into pale waste paper at this moment.
He could feel the desperate and complicated gazes from Chen Hai and Ji Changming beside him, but he could no longer care.
The instinct to survive overwhelmed everything.
"second question."
Zhou Shoujing didn't give him any chance to breathe and continued to ask, "Who ordered you to torture General Zhao Yuanchao and force him to confess, causing his old injuries to relapse and nearly kill him?"
"Torture?!"
Hou Liangping almost jumped up from his chair like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
His voice was sharp and distorted: "No! Absolutely not! We did not torture anyone to extract a confession!"
Fear was like an invisible hand that strangled his throat. He began to speak without thinking, and his mind became unusually "clear" in extreme panic. He found the only life-saving straw - shirking responsibility!
He suddenly turned his head and pointed at Chen Hai beside him with a trembling finger.
"It's him! It's Chen Hai! It's Chen Hai, the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau!"
Hou Liangping's voice broke with emotion, tinged with tears, sounding both pitiful and hateful. "He was the one who applied for the arrest warrant! He was the one who told me the target was a ruthless and corrupt official, and told me to capture him on the spot! I was just following orders!"
Chen Hai widened his eyes in disbelief. He looked at his most trusted subordinate and best brother, who was now spewing the most vicious lies to him with that face he was all too familiar with.
The blood rushed to his head, and he was so angry that his whole body was shaking. His lips moved, but he couldn't say a word.
Hou Liangping did not stop. He knew that once he opened his mouth, there would be no turning back.
He must play this drama to the end. The more realistic it is, the greater his chances of survival!
He suddenly turned to the other side and pointed at the figure who had been silent.
"And him! Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming!"
Hou Liangping's voice was filled with grievance and concealed anger. "The arrest warrant was personally issued by Prosecutor Ji! He made the final decision! I'm just a small-time head of the Investigation Division. The Director applied for it, and the Chief Prosecutor signed it. What can I do? How dare I not execute it?!"
His voice echoed in the interrogation room, and every word was like a poisoned knife, stabbing Chen Hai and Ji Changming's hearts.
"I know nothing, sir!"
Hou Liangping turned around and almost cried as he threw himself in front of Zhou Shoujing. "I thought I was helping the country eliminate corrupt officials! I thought this was a just action! They told me this was a decision made by the highest procuratorate in Handong Province! I was deceived by them! I'm the victim!"
