Nominal: Who isn't a son-in-law?

Seeing his shocked expression, Team Leader Tian knew he must have misunderstood. "Comrade, you've misunderstood. There's a saying that goes, 'Whether it's a local cat or a cat from out of town, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat.'"

"Often, when there is irrefutable evidence, we can take the initiative in handling cases. Our team leader, Deputy Secretary Li, also said that we should cooperate fully."

The person in charge hesitated and asked, "What do you mean?"

He clenched his fist.

Team Leader Tian immediately closed his eyes, pretending not to see anything, and nodded.

Oh, it's one of our own. So he's not dead.

The person in charge breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Team Leader Tian, ​​to be honest, we've temporarily seconded a colleague from Zhencheng City to participate in the interrogation. He's in the provincial department; he's the one who found these things before. Should we have him continue?"

"I think it's a good idea!"

"Let's get started without delay. I'd like to observe as well."

Team Leader Tian immediately replied.

soon.

The two approached Wang Hongqing, who was on temporary assignment, and told him about it. He immediately agreed with great excitement and found several experienced veterans in the provincial department to interrogate Gu Wangbei.

Originally, Gu Wangbei, who was brought to the interrogation room, was indifferent. After all, no one used any tricks after he arrived here, and the interrogations were conducted in shifts. He could eat and sleep, which was much more comfortable than the previous two days.

He thought this would just be a couple of questions, and he wouldn't say anything, but his expression changed immediately when he saw Wang Hongqing among the people who walked in.

"You, how did you get here?"

"I was dispatched by the provincial department to temporarily participate in related work. Gu Wangbei, from now on, I will be in charge of your interrogation."

Wang Hongqing smiled innocently, tilted his head, and instantly, the power went out.

When the light source disappeared, Gu Wangbei felt as if he had returned to Zhencheng in a dream. For the past two days, whenever there was a power outage, he would suffer, and whenever he suffered, the power would inevitably go out.

Sensing familiar footsteps approaching, he cried out in terror, "Don't come any closer!"

"ah"

"ah"

"ah"

……

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Hongqing walked out of the interrogation room with a normal expression, holding a small notebook, and said, "I've confessed a few more things."

Team Leader Tian glanced at it and said to the person in charge, "See, what did I tell you? Interrogation work requires flexibility. Comrade Hong Qing's intervention has yielded immediate results."

The person in charge curled his lip, thinking to himself: Do you really think I can't do this? I've been doing this for ages. Now that I'm a division-level leader, I have to be careful about the impact.

"Then let's proceed according to this plan."

Team Leader Tian continued, his voice kept low enough for the three to hear: "You two shouldn't feel guilty. We've seen some of the physical evidence. The crimes of Gu Wangbei and the others are unforgivable and beyond description. All interrogation methods will be limited to this case and this time. As long as we keep things within limits, our Deputy Secretary Li and Deputy Minister Li have said there are no taboos."

"Then what's there to say?"

Wang Hongqing rolled up his sleeves. "Let's continue!"

"good!"

Thus began a massive and thorough interrogation.

The interrogation room frequently experienced power outages, affecting individuals such as Gu Wangbei, Xu Dong, and even important figures like Zhu Yang and Zhang Yang.

"What are you doing? What are you doing!"

"Who gave you the right to use torture to extract a confession!"

From the darkness came Zhu Yang's voice, "I'm going to report this to the municipal and provincial party committees! I'm still the mayor!"

The air suddenly fell silent. "Zhu Yang, you have been suspended from your work by the Zhencheng Municipal Party Committee. Your superiors have dismissed you from your position as deputy secretary and have recommended that Dai Biao be removed from his position as mayor. Confess honestly."

……

Except for Xinjiang.

In Yangcheng and Zhongjiang, two other inspection teams were simultaneously stationed and immediately began their investigations.

Interestingly, a meeting had just finished in Zhongjiang.

Wang Zheng, who was studying at school, was taken away from the classroom on the spot.

The part-time professor in charge of the lectures took the opportunity to warn the students from various places, so that they could learn from this experience.

Yangcheng.

After the meeting.

When Liu Zhenhan returned to his office, the training notice that had just been sent by the Municipal Party Committee Office was still on his desk.

He wasn't stupid. Nie Dahai found his sudden suspension and the unexpected transfer for further studies too suspicious and deliberate.

At this critical juncture, the fact that he was allowed to pursue further studies so suddenly and without any prior warning is something only Nie Dahai could do.

After sitting in the office for a long time, he picked up the training notice and left to find Nie Dahai.

When he arrived at the office and walked in, he was stunned.

Because at this moment, Nie Dahai was sitting behind his desk in a daze, looking haggard and tired, a stark contrast to his imposing and dignified demeanor during the meeting.

Hearing the door open, Nie Dahai glanced at the doorway, saw Liu Zhenhan, and then looked at the documents in the other man's hand before speaking first: "It's me."

Liu Zhenhan sighed, closed the door, walked over, pulled up a chair, and sat down, staring straight at him.

"Zhenhan, in my life, I've spent half my life as an official, half my life in glory, but in the end I fell because of selfishness, indulgence, and luck. When I suspended you from your post, I had selfish motives, for Mingyu's sake, and also for yours."

"Human relationships and the world are never entirely black and white. Staying at your post and facing Mingyu's case directly, it's not right to investigate or not to investigate, but I believe you will definitely investigate. I know your personality too well: you abide by the law, uphold principles, and follow the rules."

Liu Zhenhan's Adam's apple bobbed as his emotions surged.

He wasn't unaware of Nie Dahai's good intentions, but he simply couldn't accept this protection that went against the law.

"I have been a police officer for decades and I believe in the clear principles of law and the distinction between public and private matters. When it comes to a real matter, I will naturally know my limits. I can make the right choices and bear the consequences. You don't need to make any special arrangements or make me deliberately avoid it."

"You can't handle it."

Nie Dahai shook his head, his words revealing the clarity of someone who had experienced much of the world.

"The idea of ​​sacrificing one's own family for the greater good has always been a noble reputation and a source of praise. But this reputation is for ordinary people. For people like you and me, it is actually our biggest weakness."

"A person who can even investigate his own relatives may be seen as a good and honest official by ordinary people, but by those in power, he is seen as ruthless, cold, and untrustworthy."

"I won't transfer you away. If you get involved, you'll gain a good reputation and temporary success, but in the future, your deeds will only be used as textbook examples to teach and encourage others to learn from you. What awaits you is marginalization and alienation."

Liu Zhenhan clenched his fist. He knew that what Nie Dahai said was true, a fact that had existed for thousands of years, but it was different from what he had always held in his heart.

"I am the police chief. Investigating and handling cases is a power granted to me by law and the organization..."

"As the Party Secretary of Yangcheng City, I also have the right to suspend your power!"

Nie Dahai raised his hand to interrupt.
