Chapter 231 Cleaning up the police station!
While Chen Hai was busy on a business trip, he received a call from his father Chen Yanshi.
When he heard that it was about Qi Tongwei, complicated waves instantly arose in his heart.
Qi Tongwei, a close friend who once looked forward to the future with him on campus and forged a deep friendship with him during their youth, is now drifting away in the whirlpool of officialdom and embarking on a path that makes him feel both unfamiliar and sad.
Chen Hai's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past.
At that time, Qi Tongwei was full of vigor and ideals. They talked about their life ambitions on the campus playground and were determined to work hard for justice and fairness in their respective positions.
However, as time passed, the reality of officialdom was like a ruthless carving knife, gradually changing Qi Tongwei's appearance.
Chen Hai witnessed all the injustices and setbacks that Qi Tongwei experienced over the years. He had comforted Qi Tongwei countless times, trying to pull him back from his growing resentment and paranoia.
But as time went on, Qi Tongwei's style of doing things in officialdom became increasingly tough, and some of his practices gradually deviated from the principles they once upheld. This put Chen Hai in a dilemma. He didn't know how to respond and could only sigh silently in his heart.
When Chen Hai heard his father mention that he should not have too much contact with Qi Tongwei, his inner dissatisfaction suddenly surged up.
He knew that his father's worries were not unfounded, and he also understood that there was a conflict between his sister and Qi Tongwei, but he always believed that people would change, and one could not completely deny a person's past beauty and original intentions because of a momentary behavior.
In his opinion, as long as the deep-seated commitment to justice and fairness remains, the other party should be given the opportunity to correct themselves and return to the right path.
"We work in the procuratorate to uphold the dignity and justice of the law. How can we target others based on some unfounded things or temporary conflicts? Where is the law? Where is justice? Where is justice?"
Chen Hai thought to himself that he was disgusted by the practice of easily labeling people and blindly rejecting them.
He understood that the officialdom was treacherous and that the various interests were intertwined and complicated, but he always believed that judging a person should be based on solid evidence and comprehensive understanding, rather than one-sided cognition or personal grudges.
Although he was full of resistance, Chen Hai tried hard to control his emotions and did not yell at his father.
He understood what his father went through in the Dafeng Factory incident and knew that this incident had brought a huge psychological shock to his father, causing his father to doubt and fear many people and things.
He just listened quietly to his father's story, occasionally responding softly, trying to make his father feel his understanding and respect.
"Dad, I know you are doing this for my own good and for the good of our family. But I also hope you can believe that I have my own judgment and principles. I will handle Qi Tongwei's matter carefully and will not act blindly."
Chen Hai tried to speak in a calm tone.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Hai fell into deep thought.
He knew that he was about to face a difficult decision.
On the one hand, there is the deep friendship with Qi Tongwei over the years and a trace of trust and expectation that may still exist in him; on the other hand, there are the expectations of the family, the concerns of his father, and the complex situation and potential risks in the officialdom.
He looked at the scenery passing by outside the window and swore secretly in his heart that no matter what, he would not go against his original intention and would not give up the pursuit of justice and fairness.
As a prosecutor, he will treat Qi Tongwei and all people and things related to the case with an objective and fair attitude. In the ever-changing officialdom, he will stick to the pure land in his heart and strive to find a path that can both uphold the dignity of the law and take into account human ethics, even if this path is full of thorns and challenges.
……
After learning about Qi Tongwei's series of actions in the Jingzhou officialdom, Liang Lu felt as if her heart was tangled in a tangled mess and she was extremely anxious.
She knew very well that Qi Tongwei was gradually consolidating his position in Jingzhou, while her father was in an extremely passive predicament.
Although my father is unemployed at home now, he is actually under house arrest, and all his contacts with the outside world are strictly monitored.
Any attempt to communicate with her father by phone could not escape the invisible monitoring network. In this situation, the only person Liang Lu could place her hope on was her brother Liang Tianyi.
She hurriedly dialed Liang Tianyi's number, her voice full of urgency: "Brother, you have to think of a way to deal with Qi Tongwei's matter. His influence in Jingzhou is expanding too fast. If this continues, our Liang family will really be suppressed by him without any ability to fight back."
Liang Tianyi was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, and all the details of the Ding Yizhen incident emerged in his mind.
On that occasion, Qi Tongwei's decisive actions and ingenious layout made him deeply aware of the ruthlessness and far-reaching strategy of Qi Tongwei.
At this moment, he was full of fear and didn't dare to act rashly. In this complicated official situation, protecting himself was the top priority.
"Lulu, don't be anxious. Qi Tongwei is not so easy to deal with now. Ding Yizhen's incident is a lesson for us. We can't act blindly. We have to think long-term."
Liang Tianyi tried to calm his sister, but there was a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Liang Lu heard the hesitation in her brother's words. Although she felt a little dissatisfied, she also understood her brother's situation.
She thought to herself that although her brother had always stood on Zhao Lichun's side in the officialdom over the years, he had acted cautiously and there should be no major handle in Qi Tongwei's hands. It would probably be difficult for Qi Tongwei to take any action against him for a while.
At the same time, Qi Tongwei was discussing internal affairs of the police station with Gao Gang and others in a secret meeting room.
The atmosphere in the conference room was serious and solemn, and everyone's expressions were very focused.
"Ding Yizhen's incident exposed Liang Tianyi's true colors. This man is definitely not honest." Qi Tongwei said sternly, with a sharp light in his eyes.
Gao Gang nodded: "That's right, but when we looked up his information, we found that there was no obvious problem on the surface. This shows that he is hiding very deeply."
Qi Tongwei frowned slightly, picked up a thick file and read it carefully.
Suddenly, his eyes stopped on a case that happened ten years ago, and his expression became more solemn.
"You see, there are many problems with this rape and murder case. The entire case was handled too hastily. The verdict was made directly without any in-depth investigation or evidence collection. There must be something fishy going on." Qi Tongwei's voice was low and powerful, with an unquestionable tone.
Gao Gang and others came forward and carefully looked through the case files.
The general situation of this case is: Ten years ago, a girl from the countryside came to Jingzhou full of hope to find her relatives.
She hailed a taxi outside the station and the taxi driver and his nephew gave her a ride.
However, the next day, the girl's body was found abandoned in a sewer in Jingzhou.
As this case had a huge negative impact on the image of Jingzhou City, the higher authorities demanded that the case be solved as soon as possible.
Liang Tianyi, who was the captain of the Criminal Police Team 3 at the time, took over the case. Just because the taxi driver was the last person to see the girl and their fingerprints were on the girl's bag, he quickly made a conclusion and arrested the suspects, and soon announced that the case was solved.
"This is too bizarre. According to the normal case handling process, such evidence is not enough to support such a quick conviction. Moreover, some details in the case have not been reasonably explained at all."
Gao Gang said with a frown, his eyes revealing confusion and alertness.
"That's right. For example, the cause of the girl's death, although it looks like rape and murder on the surface, some of the data in the autopsy report is questionable. Also, the testimony of the so-called witness in the same cell seems too perfect, as if it was prepared in advance."
A police officer added.
Qi Tongwei pondered for a moment and said slowly: "This case may be the key clue for us to bring down Liang Tianyi. We must conduct an in-depth investigation and not miss any details. We must revisit the crime scene of that year to look for evidence that may have been missed. At the same time, we must also re-investigate those key witnesses to see if they were coerced or bribed."
Gao Gang and others nodded in agreement.
Qi Tongwei said to Dudu in a serious tone, "Dudu, the case is now at a stalemate. We cannot enter the police station to obtain the existing information about the suspect in the old case. You have to find another way to find out the truth of that year. This is of great importance and cannot be lost."
He nodded seriously, knowing very well how difficult the matter was.
Looking back on the past when I witnessed Qi Tongwei's decisiveness and control of the overall situation in many complex situations, I feel both pressure and fighting spirit.
"Deputy Mayor Qi, I will do my best."
Dudu began to search carefully for clues in his network of contacts, trying to find the prison where Zhang Daniu and Zhang Hao, uncle and nephew who were sentenced to prison that year, were being held. This process was like looking for a needle in a haystack. He asked people everywhere and dealt with various complicated interpersonal relationships. Finally, after great efforts, he determined the prison where they were held.
However, it is not easy to get to know the details of the case. Du knew that coming forward directly might cause a lot of trouble and suspicion, so he thought of asking for help from some prisoners and prison guards he met in prison.
He carefully selected several relatively reliable people, explained the task to them in detail, and asked them to cleverly find out from Zhang Daniu and Zhang Hao, uncle and nephew, about the case of that year.
In the depressing and dull environment of the prison, Zhang Daniu and his nephew Zhang Hao were terrified when they heard that someone was secretly investigating their case.
Time has left deep marks on their faces, and past experiences have made them fearful of any connection with the outside world.
The moment they were sentenced to suspended death penalty, their world seemed to collapse. They endured a year in endless despair and were only able to survive because of an accidental opportunity to redeem themselves for meritorious service.
Since then, they have spent every day in prison carefully, reducing their sentences by good behavior, and now they are only two years away from being released.
"Uncle, are these people here to test us? If we say something wrong, our hope of getting out will be completely gone, and we might even be sentenced to a heavier sentence."
Zhang Hao said to Zhang Daniu in a trembling voice.
Zhang Daniu frowned, his eyes full of worry: "Don't make a sound, we don't know anything. We have come this far all these years, we can't make a mistake now."
They have suffered a lot in prison and have long seen through the impermanence of life. They know that any slight disturbance may drag them back into the abyss.
Faced with seemingly casual inquiries from cellmates and prison guards, they remained silent and dared not respond at all.
After Dudu's friends reported the situation to him, he felt sad.
He stared into the distance, thinking to himself: "Can the police's power be so arbitrary? Judging someone guilty based on superficial evidence alone, this wrong judgment can ruin someone's life."
Thinking of this, and comparing it to Qi Tongwei's active efforts for justice, a strong sense of justice surged in his heart. He clenched his fists and vowed secretly: "No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, I must bring this case to light and give the victim real justice."
……
In a private room of a luxurious restaurant in Jingzhou City, the atmosphere seemed calm but was full of mysteries. Zhao Lichun entertained Liang Tianyi, deputy director of the Jingzhou City Police Department, and the table was filled with delicacies. Zhao Lichun was very polite because Liang Tianyi was the son of Liang Qunfeng, but he was quietly testing him in his words.
Liang Tianyi understood the deep meaning of this dinner, and he didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "Secretary Zhao, my father is now under investigation because of my brother's affairs. I just hope that he can retire peacefully and spend his later years. I don't have any ambitions anymore, and it would be best if I could be transferred before there is a bigger mess."
Zhao Ruilong heard this and said hurriedly: "Director Liang, this won't do. In the current situation, if you leave, we will lose a great general. You have to stay and help us deal with this complicated situation together."
Zhao Lichun nodded slightly and continued, "Tianyi, I won't stop you from thinking this. But if you really plan to leave, you really have to deal with your own affairs properly and don't let Qi Tongwei catch anything. Think carefully about whether there were any things you didn't handle well enough in the past, whether you were greedy for money, etc. You have to solve all these problems and leave cleanly."
When Liang Tianyi heard this, his heart trembled, and several past events flashed through his mind. There were indeed a few things that were a bit tricky, but he was concerned about his face and didn't want to show weakness in front of them. He just covered up a few things with vague words and said confidently: "Secretary Zhao, President Zhao, don't worry, I know what's going on, and I can handle these small matters myself."
After the dinner, Liang Tianyi hurried back to the police station. He went straight to the archives room and began to look through the files of his previous cases with a serious face. He knew that Qi Tongwei was now in the limelight and had sharp means. If he was caught by Qi Tongwei, the consequences would be disastrous. He looked through the pages one by one, trying to find possible hidden dangers from those densely packed documents, and beads of sweat gradually oozed from his forehead...
