CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

Li Xiang chuckled twice: "Brother Qilin, shall I treat you to rice noodle rolls?"

An Xin glared at him: "Get to the point. Do you think I'd shortchange you?"

"What happened this time?"

Gao Qilin just smiled faintly, then took out a photo from his pocket: "Officer An, Officer Li, take a look at this."

The words fell.

Both of their eyes were immediately drawn to it.

next moment.

An Xin involuntarily gasped: "This, this is... Li Youtian and Li Shun?"

Gao Qilin nodded: "On the day Li Shun died, just a few minutes before, Li Youtian and Li Shun had an argument at our construction site."

An Xin frowned and examined it closely.

Although the image is a bit blurry, anyone who knows Li Youtian and Li Shun can recognize them at a glance!

Moreover, in the footage... Li Youtian is shoving Li Shun!

This is the clearest evidence imaginable.

Li Shun did not die in an accident or construction site incident; he was murdered!

Thinking this, Li Xiang and An Xin both gasped and exchanged a glance.

Li Xiang carefully chose his words, his voice trembling as he spoke, "Director Cheng called us over just now to quickly close the case of Li Shun's death and classify it as a construction site accident..."

Gao Qilin's lips twitched slightly: "Thanks, Officer Li."

"It seems that the entire Bureau of Cheng is an enemy, not a friend."

Li Xiang nodded solemnly.

An Xin, standing to the side, clutched the photo and remained silent for a long time.

His mind was in turmoil.

That guy Gao Qilin.

How can you produce all sorts of evidence?

Just as Li Xiang and I suspected something was amiss with Li Shun's death, the higher-ups suddenly stopped allowing us to investigate.

Just at this crucial moment, Gao Qilin delivered the evidence...

Most importantly, that's a blind spot for surveillance cameras, yet Gao Qilin was able to produce photos. Does that mean... he was already on guard?

Calculated without omission!

To be prepared to this extent is truly terrifying!

Thinking this, An Xin looked at Gao Qilin with a complicated expression: "Thank you."

"I'll accept this evidence."

Gao Qilin nodded with a faint smile, then said, "Not bad, Officer An, you've even learned to say thank you now..."

……

After a while.

An Xin presented the photos directly during the city bureau's routine meeting, and Cheng Du had no reason to object, so he could only personally approve the arrest warrant.

An Xin and Li Xiang quickly drove to Mang Village and brought Li Youtian back to the Municipal Bureau.

In the interrogation room.

Li Youtian still looked innocent and helpless as he stared at the two people in front of him.

"No, Officer An, Officer Li, you've gone too far."

"What have I done wrong that you call me here every other day? How am I supposed to face people in the village like this?"

An Xin raised her eyelids and gave Li Youtian a cold look: "It's nothing. I called you here this time, so I won't let you go back."

"Be a good person in prison from now on."

The words fell.

Li Youtian had never seen An Xin so cold and hard before, and was speechless for a moment.

next moment.

Without saying a word, Li Xiang took a picture and threw it in front of Li Youtian.

"Look at this, do you know who's in it, what time it is, and where it is?"

"Didn't you say you and Li Shun were just talking? Why are there scenes showing you arguing with Li Shun and pushing him?"

Chapter 117 Cheng Du Reports, Zhao Lidong's New Plan

As Li Xiang finished speaking, Li Youtian's face finally turned pale, and his face began to tremble.

This photo provides irrefutable evidence that he himself pushed Li Shun down!

At times like this, nothing you say will make a difference.

With such evidence in front of him, what could Li Youtian say? Could he say that his shoving was not fatal and that he pushed Li Shun down after he was unconscious?

What's the difference between that and admitting it outright?

In an instant, Li Youtian's face turned pale, his vision went black, and he even felt waves of dizziness.

Li Xiang tapped the table sternly: "Li Youtian, speak!"

Li Youtian shuddered involuntarily, then pleaded, "Xiang, Uncle Youtian watched you grow up, you, you can..."

An Xin frowned and tapped the table: "Li Youtian, this is an interrogation room, not a place for you to plead for mercy!"

"Tell me the truth about what happened."

Li Xiang pointed to the large characters behind him: "Confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely, Li Youtian. If you continue with this attitude, I will voluntarily withdraw from the interrogation and let others interrogate you!"

"They're not as easy to talk to as I am."

As Li Xiang finished speaking, Li Youtian raised his head, trembling.

"Xiang, if I say that this wasn't something I organized alone, but something others asked me to do, could we... be lenient with them?"

After Li Youtian finished speaking...

Li Xiang and An Xin's expressions both froze, and they exchanged a glance.

Then they asked in unison, "Who?"

Li Youtian took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "It's...it's Zhao Lidong!"

"It was all Zhao Lidong who instructed me!"

……

Shortly after.

Outside the interrogation room.

An Xin and Li Xiang looked at each other, their faces showing worry.

"Zhao Lidong is involved again; this time we also need to submit a report to higher authorities..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiang patted An Xin on the shoulder: "Brother, this is good news. It means we have found more evidence of Zhao Lidong's illegal and disorderly conduct, and even his instigation of murder."

Upon hearing this, An Xin nodded...

……

The next morning.

Within the Municipal Bureau.

In the director's office.

As soon as Cheng Du arrived at the office in the morning, he saw an application report and a statement on his desk.

The statement above clearly reads Li Youtian's confession that Zhao Lidong instructed him to cause trouble and kill people!

The reason for this application report is that this confession involves Mayor Zhao Lidong, which is of great importance, and the application is to continue to investigate further.

But looking at the report in front of him, Cheng Du showed no surprise whatsoever; instead, he wore a disdainful sneer.

An Xin, Li Xiang...

These two lads again, Meng Dehai's old subordinates.

Do you really think that you can bring down Zhao Lidong just because you're the village chief of some Mang Village?

Zhao Lidong is still very useful as mayor...

Think so.

Chengdu quickly made a phone call.

"Mayor Zhao, it's me, Cheng Du."

"You did something really shady this time, and someone caught you doing something wrong..."
