Chapter 203
The young man became angry, "Did you remember it wrong again?"
Tan Shulin reached out to stop him, "It's been a long time, so it's human nature to remember wrongly..."
The young man was silent, saying nothing for the first time.
There was a knock on the door. The young man opened the door and a middle-aged man walked in. The young man immediately shouted: "Chief Jiang."
Tan Shulin was surprised and shouted: "Chief Jiang."
There was a panic in his heart. How could Director Jiang, who was usually invisible to busy people, appear here?
"Well, it's so late and you still work so hard..." Director Jiang looked at the people inside thoughtfully.
"Is the interrogation over?" He looked at the tape recorder that had stopped running and asked.
"It's not over yet, it's almost over." Tan Shulin said. He turned to signal Xiao Cao to take Zhou Haifu out. Before he could make any next move, Director Jiang on the side asked:
"Can I sit in?"
Tan Shulin hesitated, "Of course."
Qiu Huoming suddenly said: "Did the witness record the conversation with me just now? Did it record it?"
Director Jiang glanced at Qiu Huoming and ordered: "Xiao Cao, take off the lamp."
Only then did Qiu Huoming find out that the young man's surname was Cao.
He was extremely grateful that he had had enough rest today and that he had the physical strength to support him at this moment.
Xiao Cao moved the light away, Qiu Huoming stretched out his handcuffed hands, wiped away the tears that fell, and then opened his red eyes and looked forward.
Jiang Ju is about 50 years old, with some graying on his temples, thick eyebrows and narrow eyes, hale and hearty, slightly burly figure, and has a calm but powerful aura.
"Handcuffs open."
Xiao Cao responded and stepped forward to open Qiu Huoming's handcuffs.
"Show me the transcript."
Xiao Cao showed the transcript just now and the previous transcript to Bureau Chiang.
Tan Shulin's face changed slightly, "Chief Bureau, the interrogation has just begun, and the important clues have not been found yet..."
Director Jiang did not raise his head and looked through the transcripts in silence. Suddenly he turned to ask Xiao Cao, "Tell me what you think of this case?"
"Say it here?"
"Say it right here."
"I think one of them lied. Based on the result of the confrontation just now, I think he is the one who lied." Xiao Cao said, pointing to Zhou Haifu who was shrinking behind him.
Zhou Haifu suddenly took a step back. The space was not big, and he leaned his back against the wall. He had no way to retreat, "It's none of my business, it's..."
"It's just that you can't stand his behavior. Reporting is something that every conscientious person should be able to do." Tan Shulin looked at Zhou Haifu with cold eyes.
Sweat broke out on Zhou Haifu's forehead, and his lips trembled a few times. After all, he was just a student who was good at doing business. Facing such a powerful interrogation scene, he was already on the verge of collapse.
"Zhou Haifu, you will be given leniency if you confess, but you will be punished if you resist. What you are doing is very small, and those who instigate you are guilty..." Qiu Huoming looked past the few people at the scene and looked at Zhou Haifu.
Director Jiang took the transcript and said proudly, "I have read this transcript. The contents are easy to verify and it doesn't take much effort."
Director Jiang looked at a witness and a suspect in front of him. The look that should obviously be that of a suspect appeared on the witness's face. With a hint of amusement, he waited for the witness's reply.
Tan Shulin wanted to say something else, but was stopped by the look from Director Jiang.
There was regret in his eyes, as well as indescribable disgust. Tan Shulin opened his mouth, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead just like Zhou Haifu had just done.
He turned to look at Qiu Huoming. Taking advantage of his position, he retrieved his file and looked at it. He was clearly an ordinary young man from a small county...
Could it be that someone is trying to use this incident to harm themselves? He looked away and looked at Xiao Cao.
"Yes, if you lied, it's still too late to correct it now..." Tan Shulin said. His reaction was not unpleasant. It was wise to lose soldiers and save cars. All his contacts with Zhou Haifu were overt and secret. He hasn't done anything.
But he didn't care whether others had done it or not, and he wanted to clean himself up as soon as possible.
What he said suddenly became the last straw that broke Zhou Haifu's back.
Zhou Haifu stretched out his hand to hold on to the wall, his legs shaking. He glanced at the people in the room, gritted his teeth and asked, "I told you, can...can I be treated leniently?"
Director Jiang signaled Xiao Cao to turn on the recorder, and then he said: "Okay, Xiao Cao, you will be in charge of the interrogation."
Qiu Huoming and Zhou Haifu changed places.
He sat in the corner, silently watching everything in front of him.
The appearance of Director Jiang was a variable. As soon as he came in, he showed him kindness and asked Xiao Cao to move the lights and open the handcuffs. These all hinted that he might have a turn for the better next.
Xiao Cao opened the transcript and asked, "Name?"
"Zhou Haifu."
……
The previous questioning still followed the procedure. After asking for his information clearly, Xiao Cao continued to ask:
"Listen to what you said, your family is poor, and I think you are well-dressed, so...where does your money come from? Don't lie. These are easy to verify. Once you are found to be lying, you will be treated leniently. It doesn’t work for you…”
Xiao Cao's eyes were fixed on Zhou Haifu, who looked nervous. He glanced at Tan Shulin and found that his face was expressionless and he did not give him any hint.
His heart tightened, his lips trembled, and then he sighed, and then said:
"My family background is not good. After I arrived in the provincial capital, the psychological gap was too big. The subsidy was simply not enough for me. Under such circumstances, I met a fellow villager..."
Zhou Haifu was full of heart and told the matter from beginning to end.
Tan Shulin cursed in his heart. He only needed to tell him why he framed Qiu Huoming, but who would have thought that after interrogation and interrogation, this person would reveal all his secrets.
It could be said that it was the jealousy among his classmates that made him make this move, but now he is ready to go straight to the gun.
"There is a workshop in my hometown that specializes in assembling spare parts obtained from outside. I am mainly responsible for assembling and selling radios. Because I major in radio, our department has a huge demand for these. I sell them at prices lower than the market price. Selling to my classmates, relying on the profits, I can live a pretty good life..."
"But some time ago, I offended one, oh no, two people in our school..."
"One of them said that the machine I sold him was broken and he wanted to replace it with a new one. I refused and asked him to fix it, but we got into a fight. In the end, I had no choice but to replace it with a new one..."
"I don't have that model of his here, so I rushed back that day, but I didn't expect to be followed by them."
There was a hint of regret on Zhou Haifu's face, "That workshop is full of goods. Once reported, we will lose all our money..."
"They asked me to give false testimony to frame Qiu Huoming. I refused to agree at first, but they took photos and..." Zhou Haifu glanced at Tan Shulin.
"After a few days, I thought they had given up, but one day they took me to meet Comrade Tan... Comrade Tan. He was wearing a uniform, and he... he was a relative of Tan Jialiang..."
Tan Shulin immediately explained: "I just told him that speculation is against the law. I didn't tell him anything else."
Zhou Haifu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Comrade Tan told me many cases, and I was scared..."
"When I went back, Cai Jiwei directly asked me what I mentioned last time, which was to frame Qiu Huoming, and asked me whether I would do it or not..."
"He showed me the photos. In addition to the photos, there was also the conversation they had with me at that time. I panicked... They said there was someone inside who could guarantee that I would escape unscathed as long as I pushed the matter to Qiu Huoming."
"I thought about the last time I saw Qiu Huoming walking around campus with a man. I had seen that man before. He was also a second-rate dealer. I thought, even if I reported him, it would not be considered an injustice to him. He spent money on food and drink. They are all very good. How can ordinary families have so much money to spend on him..."
"Then, I wrote a letter of report and gave it directly to Comrade Tan. I haven't dared to go back to the dormitory these days. I'm afraid... I'm afraid of seeing Qiu Huoming. I don't have any grudge against him if I tell him the truth. I saw that there was no movement, so I thought everything was fine. Unexpectedly, they suddenly called me here again today...I have been here for most of the day..."
"I really didn't do anything. I just assembled radios and earned some processing fees. I really don't know anything else!"
When Zhou Haifu said this, he felt panicked, his emotions surged, and his nose and tears flowed down together.
Xiao Cao raised his head and asked: "So, you admit that you are framing Qiu Huoming?"
"Yes, I was wrong. I shouldn't have framed others."
"Okay, you sign this transcript."
Zhou Haifu took the transcript with trembling hands and held the pen, unable to hold it tightly for a long time. After a while, he finally wrote his name on it tremblingly.
Xiao Cao took the transcript and turned off the recording.
Tan Shulin said leisurely, "Even if Qiu Huoming is wronged this time, where did his unidentified property come from? This is not a small amount."
Director Jiang snorted coldly, "You don't need to worry about his affairs anymore. Starting today, you will be suspended until the organization handles it."
Tan Shulin was shocked, "Director Jiang, I am eager to investigate the case! I violated some prescribed procedures, but I also want to investigate the truth of the matter as soon as possible..."
"Really? Then you don't have to worry. As long as you are doing good things, I will naturally give you an explanation after I find out."
"Xiao Cao, you and Tan Shulin hand over the work, and find someone to take Zhou Haifu away."
He stood up and looked at Qiu Huoming, "Follow me."
Qiu Huoming followed him out of the door, walked not far along the corridor, and then went up the stairs. Director Jiang walked to an office on the second floor and turned on the light.
This is a neat and spacious office. Director Jiang pointed to the wooden bench beside it and said, "Sit down."
Qiu Huoming sat down, and Director Jiang closed the door, turned around, made him a cup of tea, and placed it on the coffee table.
Qiu Huoming asked somewhat flattered: "Chief Jiang, have I been cleared of suspicion?"
"What's more, not only are you not suspected, there are other good things waiting for you..."
Qiu Huoming was stunned. He looked up at Director Jiang, somewhat confused as to what he meant.
"It's too late today. You rest here first. I'll take you back to school tomorrow morning." Director Jiang stood up, walked to the corner, pulled out a folding bed, opened it, took out a quilt from the cabinet and spread it on above.
"I usually work late, so I sleep here. The toilet is on the east side of the corridor. Someone will bring your things to you in a while. I'll leave first and call you tomorrow morning..."
Director Jiang walked up to him, reached out and patted his shoulder, "You have been wronged."
"Hey, Director Jiang, what you said..." Qiu Huoming asked quickly.
"You'll know when the time comes." Director Jiang gave up, opened the door and walked out.
Qiu Huoming sat there confused. The night was full of twists and turns, which made him confused. He slept a lot in the afternoon and he wasn't sleepy now. He glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already 2 o'clock in the morning. , I can’t sleep for long even if I sleep now.
My eyes have calmed down a bit and are no longer stinging.
He stood up and walked to the window. From the window on the second floor, he could see the parking lot and the Emei Moon hanging in the sky. He looked up at the cold moonlight. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the autumn fire opened brightly. At the door, Xiao Cao was standing at the door with a embarrassed look on his face, holding a large cloth bag in one hand and a washbasin and a brand new set of toiletries in the other.
Seeing the door open, he walked in quickly with his head lowered and put everything in his hands on the coffee table.
"The things in the bag are all taken from your dormitory and brought back to you. This washbasin and toiletries are new. Director Jiang asked me to bring them to you."
After saying that, he took a step back and said, "I can't help myself today." After that, he quickly walked out.
Qiu Huoming touched his head. This sudden apology made him a little confused.
Forget it...if he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it. He took the washbasin and walked to the toilet.
After washing up, he felt at home and felt much more comfortable. After entering the office, he turned off the lights, lay on the folding bed, looked up at the ceiling, and his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness.
The night was dark, with only the faint moonlight dancing on the ceiling.
The two sections of agarwood that were opened in the bag exuded a very good smell... Thinking about it carefully, he bought the ticket for the Miao aunt, but in exchange for the agarwood, so he still took advantage.
He reviewed what happened today, and the only thing that was certain was that he was out of danger.
If I go back in the morning, I don't know how to put an end to the rumors in the school.
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
I thought he would keep his eyes open until dawn, but he didn't expect that the young man's sleep was so good that he turned over and fell into a deep sleep.
Early in the morning, when the sky was still dark and bright, there was a knock on the door. He opened the door with groggy eyes.
After the door opened, he froze on the spot and saw his master, Xu Lang, wearing a decent uniform, standing at the door with dignity.
At this moment, he didn't have any of the arrogance he had with Lao Pan, so Qiu Huoming almost didn't recognize him.
He was holding a box of rice rolls in one hand and a soup pot in the other.
"Guan is stupid, go on." Xu Lang handed him the pot in his hand, and then took out two enamel cups like magic.
He sat directly on the bench, moved the things on the table, made a space, and placed the lunch box on it, "Sit down, have breakfast."
"Oh." Qiu Huoming finally reacted, "Master, how did you know I was here?" He put the pot on the coffee table, dragged a chair over and sat beside him.
"Xiao Min came to me, you are quite smart..."
As he spoke, he opened the lid of the pot. Inside was a pot of steaming soy milk. He poured the soy milk into a cup and pushed a cup to Qiu Huoming. He opened the lunch box and pushed it to Qiu Huoming, and then took it from his pocket. He took out a pair of chopsticks and placed them on the lunch box.
"I've eaten and I'll drink some with you. These are all yours. Eat quickly. I have to take you back to school soon."
Happy weekend, two chapters today, Saturday:) I am horny...
