Siheyuan: Start with a big car

Liu Zheng's father did not expect that his carefully designed routine would be instantly seen through by his comrades in the factory protection team.

He knew in his heart that no matter how much he explained, the factory protection team and the surrounding residents would not believe him.

But asking him to hand over Liu Zheng is absolutely impossible, after all, Liu Zheng is his only son!
At this time, Liu Zheng was in the house and heard the noise outside, feeling extremely regretful.

In his opinion, his father could have falsely accused the factory protection team of beating him. With the help of the residents, the factory protection team would have been forced to leave, and he would have had a chance of survival.

But due to his father's mistake, he completely lost the chance to escape. This room was not like the security office, there was no back door.

The people from the factory protection team were guarding the gate, and even if I grew wings, I couldn't escape.

Liu Zheng was hiding in the house, his heart beating so violently that it seemed like it was going to burst through his chest.

He looked around the room in panic, but the walls were closed around him.

After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and thought: The only way now is to rely on my eloquence in the subsequent interrogation to withstand Li Weidong's questioning. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope.

Having made up his mind, Liu Zheng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, then he suddenly opened the door and walked out of the house with big strides.

"Everyone, stop working. I'm here and I can go with you."

The comrades in the factory protection team were all ready to rush into the house and arrest Liu Zheng.

Who would have thought that Liu Zheng would be so bold as to show up on his own initiative.

Liu Zheng's father was hiding nearby, but when he saw his son go out on his own initiative, his face turned pale instantly.

He realized that something was wrong and said anxiously, "What are you going to do? You have always been well-behaved and have never done anything like that. What if these people threaten you?"

Hearing this, Liu Zheng was delighted and secretly gave his father a thumbs up in his heart.

During this period of time, he had been worried that his father would do something bad, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, his father would say something that was beneficial to him. It was like a timely rain that helped him a lot.

So, Liu Zheng ignored the comrades from the factory protection team, deliberately raised his voice, turned to face the residents who were watching, and put on an aggrieved expression on his face.

“My dear uncles, aunties, and grandmas, you have watched me grow up since I was a child, and you all know me. I have always been honest and have never done anything bad.

But now, the comrades from the factory protection team have accused me of crimes that they do not even want to explain. This is an injustice!

You also know that once I am brought into the factory protection team, they will definitely put all the blame on me in order to get their job done.

Therefore, I implore everyone to seek justice for me and not let me suffer this injustice for nothing!"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only were the comrades in the factory protection team filled with confusion, but the onlookers also began to whisper to each other, unable to figure out what Liu Zheng was trying to do.

Xiao Liu frowned, took a step forward, and reminded him, "Liu Zheng, this is an internal matter of our TV factory. It has nothing to do with you. Please cooperate with our investigation."

Liu Zheng pretended not to hear what Xiao Liu said, but took two steps forward, cleared his throat, and continued: “So, I would like to ask a respected person to accompany me to the TV factory.

With someone like this watching over me, I believe I can be treated fairly and not be arbitrarily convicted."

After hearing this, the residents all nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes, Liu Zheng is still a member of our compound, and he can't be taken away without any clear reason."

"We really need to send someone to keep an eye on it, to prevent any unfairness from happening."

"Who should we send? This time we need to help supervise the trial."

"How about Uncle Zhang? Uncle Zhang used to be the head of the security department of the timber factory. He knows everything about investigating cases."

Everyone's eyes were directed to a burly, gray-haired old man.

When Uncle Zhang heard everyone mentioning him, he looked embarrassed.

He knew very well that this matter was an internal affair of the TV factory and should not be interfered with by the residents of the compound.

If I were to show up myself, I would break the rules and it would be difficult to explain to my peers in the future.

Liu Zheng observed the expression on his face, his eyes rolled around, and he quickly walked up to Uncle Zhang and said, "Uncle Zhang, you have been watching me grow up since I was a child. You are like my own elder. When your son got married, I took great pains to get him a bicycle ticket through my connections.

Now I am in deep trouble and have nowhere to go. I hope you can help me out for the sake of our past friendship. Of course, don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. I just hope to be treated fairly during the investigation."

Liu Zheng's words were clear and logical, and every word seemed to make sense.

Uncle Zhang was a soft-hearted person to begin with, and after hearing these words, he began to waver and was unable to refuse for a moment.

But he acted cautiously and did not agree immediately. Instead, he turned his eyes to Xiao Liu, trying to get some instructions from him.

"Little leader, I know this is against the rules, but Liu Zheng is from our compound after all."

Xiao Liu was also confused by the situation.

In his entire life, this was the first time he heard that someone had to be present during the trial of a prisoner.

Xiao Liu didn't dare to make a decision on his own and said he would go and ask Li Weidong for instructions.

Uncle Zhang naturally agreed. No matter what the result was, he could give an explanation to the residents of the compound. Xiao Liu ran to the supply and marketing cooperative, called Li Weidong's office, and reported the situation.

“Commissioner Li, don’t worry, these people are just fooling around.

As long as you give the order, I will bring Liu Zheng back immediately."

Li Weidong is well-informed, but this is the first time he has encountered such a thing.

After thinking carefully, he smiled and said, "Xiao Liu, just agree to them.

We want to get to the bottom of things this time, so even if a few more people follow us, it won’t have any impact.”

Hearing this, Xiao Liu admired Li Weidong's integrity in his heart.

You know, sometimes you have to do something when investigating a case. "Then I'll agree to it."

Xiao Liu returned to the compound and conveyed Li Weidong's opinions.

Liu Zheng was secretly delighted, thinking that as long as he kept his mouth shut and didn't admit anything, Li Weidong wouldn't be able to do anything to him. Besides, with Uncle Zhang watching over him, the factory guards couldn't do anything either, so he would definitely be able to escape this time.

Afterwards, Xiao Liu prepared to take Liu Zheng back to the TV factory.

Liu Zheng's father grabbed Liu Zheng's arm and said, "Liu Zheng, if you go, what will your father do?"

Liu Zheng laughed loudly and said, "Dad, don't worry. I, Liu Zheng, am upright and have never done anything shameful. Besides, with Uncle Zhang by my side, I will definitely be able to return safely."

These words put invisible pressure on Uncle Zhang.

Uncle Zhang noticed it, but could only nod in agreement.

In this way, Liu Zheng was brought to Li Weidong's office by the security officers of the Security Department in a peculiar way.

The workers in the factory also came over when they heard the news, pointing fingers at Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng showed no fear at all. After all, he was fully prepared and definitely not afraid of Li Weidong. At this time, Deputy Director Hu and Section Chief Xiong had been controlled, and only Li Weidong and Erniu were in the office.

Seeing Liu Zheng coming in, Li Weidong winked at Erniu and asked, "Erniu, who told you to falsely accuse Director Chen?"

Erniu pointed at Liu Zheng's nose and said, "That's him! That's the guy!"

Li Weidong looked at Liu Zheng: "Liu Zheng, do you have anything else to say?"

Liu Zheng was extremely arrogant at this moment. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, blew a puff of smoke at Li Weidong, and said, "Commissioner Li, I have heard of your name for a long time.

But I am just a small figure in the security department, and I have never had the opportunity to talk to you. I thought that a big leader like you who came from the capital must be very smart, but now it seems that you are just so-so. "

As soon as these words were spoken, the comrades from the factory protection team nearby became furious and rolled up their sleeves to teach Liu Zheng a lesson.

Their actions were exactly what Liu Zheng wanted.

Uncle Zhang was watching from the side, and he walked up and said, "Everyone, we are investigating the case, how can we do anything?"

Li Weidong looked at Uncle Zhang and said, "This old comrade is right. We should investigate cases based on facts and not mess around." He looked at Liu Zheng and asked, "What do you want to say now?"

Liu Zheng laughed: "Commissioner Li, as long as you can produce evidence, I will definitely plead guilty. But if you can't produce evidence, don't frame me here at will."

In Liu Zheng's opinion, when he discussed this matter with Erniu, only the two of them were present.

As long as he refused to admit it, Li Weidong would be helpless. But he underestimated Li Weidong.

Li Weidong patted the table lightly and shouted outside, "Bring in security officer Xiaomei."

The factory protection team members went out and brought Xiaomei in.

When Liu Zheng saw Xiaomei, he was very confused. This matter had nothing to do with Xiaomei at all, but he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Liu Zheng rushed to Xiaomei and said, "Xiaomei, I know I was wrong this morning. I like you too much. Let me apologize to you. I hope you won't frame me."

It has to be said that Liu Zheng is very cunning. This sentence fundamentally denies the credibility of Xiaomei's testimony as a witness.

But Xiaomei was not someone who could be easily fooled. She glanced at Liu Zheng calmly and said, "Liu Zheng, do you know what I am going to report to Commissioner Li? Are you so anxious to say such things? Are you feeling guilty?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Zheng's face turned very ugly. Uncle Zhang's eyes also changed when he looked at Liu Zheng.

He had worked as a security officer for many years and knew that only people with a guilty conscience would be so panicked.

"Liu Zheng, no matter what you do, don't interfere with others."

This was the first time that Uncle Zhang spoke against Liu Zheng. Liu Zheng sensed something was wrong and immediately shut up.

Li Weidong smiled and looked at Xiaomei and said, "Xiaomei, do you have anything to report?
Now that everyone is here, you can speak up.”

Xiaomei nodded and said, "I didn't take this matter seriously at first, but now I think it may be an important clue to the case. Just two days ago at noon, I was taking a lunch break when I suddenly saw Section Chief Xiong coming to see Liu Zheng.

Since they are relatives, I didn't pay much attention to it.

But in the evening, my friend invited me to a pub for a drink, and I ran into Chief Xiong and Liu Zheng again. I felt strange at the time.”

This aroused Uncle Zhang's curiosity, and he asked, "What are you curious about?

Chief Xiong and Liu Zheng are relatives, isn't it normal for them to have dinner together?"

Xiaomei explained: "Old comrade, you may not know.

Section Chief Xiong was notoriously stingy in the factory, and he didn’t have a good relationship with Liu Zheng. Over the years, he had never even offered Liu Zheng a cigarette, let alone a drink.

After that, Xiaomei continued, “I didn’t think much about it at the time. I was just about to say hello to Liu Zheng when I heard Chief Xiong asking Liu Zheng to find a way to frame Director Chen.

I was terrified and hid myself quickly.

I wrote down their conversations in a diary and marked the dates.”

As she spoke, Xiaomei handed the diary to Li Weidong.

Li Weidong opened the diary, which recorded the conversation between the two clearly.

"You are so bad, Liu Zheng. Just because Section Chief Xiong and Xu Nuo promoted you, you framed Director Chen. You are so cruel!"

Liu Zheng never thought that Xiaomei was also in the tavern at that time, and he never thought that she also wrote a diary.

Liu Zheng wanted to retort: ​​"This diary might be fake! This woman hates me so much, don't believe her words!"

Li Weidong walked up to Uncle Zhang with the diary and handed it to him: "Look, the date on the diary is clearly marked, there is no trace of modification, and the beginning and the end can be matched. It is impossible to be forged later."

Uncle Zhang, who is also an old security officer, agreed with Li Weidong's point of view.

He returned the diary to Li Weidong, stared at Liu Zheng and said, "Liu Zheng, I didn't expect it! I always thought you were an honest child, how could you do such a thing?

Although I don't know Director Chen, I believe he is an upright person. What you did is simply insane!"

Liu Zheng didn't expect that the old man Zhang whom he had found would now stand on Li Weidong's side and blame him.

He snorted coldly: "Uncle Zhang, we are neighbors in the same compound! Even if I made a mistake, you should cover it up for me. This is called uniting the residents of the compound. Is it humane of you to do this?"

Uncle Zhang didn't expect Liu Zheng's values ​​to be so twisted.

"Liu Zheng, people are not afraid of making mistakes, as long as they correct them in time.

But you actually wanted to frame others. It will be difficult to correct this mistake in the future."

After that, Uncle Zhang bowed to Li Weidong and said, "Commissioner Li, I am ashamed to say that when I first came here, I thought Liu Zheng was a good person and wanted to defend him.

I didn't expect him to do such a dirty thing. Don't worry, I will clarify the matter with the residents of the compound and will not interfere with your investigation."

Li Weidong didn't expect Uncle Zhang to be so reasonable. He smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, don't worry. We will definitely follow the rules and will never wrongly accuse a good person, nor will we let a bad person go."

After a few simple exchanges, the two understood each other's ideas.

Uncle Zhang felt relieved and turned around to leave.

When Liu Zheng saw that Uncle Zhang was about to leave, he panicked and rushed over to grab Uncle Zhang's arm: "Uncle Zhang, what are you doing? I am Liu Zheng, who you raised up under your care! How can you just ignore me?

If the residents of the compound knew that you ignored me, they would look down on you!"

Uncle Zhang shook off Liu Zheng's hand and said, "Liu Zheng, I don't want to care about you anymore.

But for the sake of your neighbors, I'll give you another piece of advice. Now you should cooperate with Commissioner Li and explain all the problems clearly.

You are not the mastermind. As long as you explain clearly, Commissioner Li will give you a lighter punishment."
