In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

Wu Jiantao wanted to laugh, but his face only moved stiffly and he couldn't laugh. "Officer, I... I wanted to drink, and since I couldn't find anyone, I just grabbed someone randomly."

"As for the Ling Chamber of Commerce, well, to put it nicely, they are private bosses; to put it bluntly, they are contractors. They don't have the qualifications to construct urban roads. They are affiliated with Lanling Road and Bridge Engineering Company, which is under the Ling Chamber of Commerce. They usually just have meals and drinks together. In essence, they are all just trying to make money."

"We're really not that familiar!"

"I understand, these kinds of things are very common."

Han Shiwei nodded in agreement, but then his tone shifted again, "There are so many people on the construction site, why did you have to pick up Sun Hongyuan? Don't you know he has an early shift, is a driver, and has a demanding driving job? And you still dared to take him drinking?"

"Why not a mid-shift driver? The mid-shift gets off at 10 PM, which should be the best option, right?"

"I approached the truck driver on the afternoon shift, but he was tired and sleepy, and I couldn't just force him to take me."

Wu Jiantao tried to explain, "Other workers need to go to work, and I can't delay the construction schedule. At that time, I thought of Master Sun. I didn't think much about it. It was just a couple of bottles of beer. It wouldn't affect the normal work."

"Who knew that the barbecue wasn't clean?"

"Add an ice-cold beer for extra kick."

"I was also vomiting and having diarrhea when I got back that day. Master Sun ate less and was a little better, so he only stayed for two hours. I thought I'd let Master Zhou take over for him."

"Who knew something like this would happen?"

Wu Jiantao looked deeply regretful and slapped his thigh in anger.

"From 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., a full eight hours, working alone, at high intensity, at night, and I even made him cover for me, and it wasn't as simple as you said, just two hours."

"The incident occurred at 9:30 a.m., at the end of the morning rush hour."

"So you're saying you knowingly broke the law?"

Han Shiwei's voice grew colder, "As a result, a life was lost. I think you don't need to continue the project anymore. Go inside and reflect on your actions, and prepare to go bankrupt and pay compensation to the local government."

Han Shiwei got up and left the interrogation room, summoning provincial officials. "Interrogate Sun Hongyuan again in half an hour. Also, check the Lanling Road and Bridge project; I need all its information."

"Director Han, we have completed the retrieval of information on Wang Ping'an, Liu San, and Li Ting. We have both the archival information and the offline investigation data. In addition, we have invited Wang Ping'an's wife, Su Manjun, over, and she is currently in the waiting room."

Another provincial department official quickly came over to report and provide guidance.

"Let me take a look at the information first. Please rest in the waiting room, Ms. Su. Please remember to be polite and we will try our best to meet your needs."

Han Shiwei gave his instructions.

The information on the three people was limited to only two or three pages, which were laid out on the table.

But upon first glance, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Wang Ping'an, male, 48 years old, is currently the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Diaozhou City Public Security Bureau. His wife is Su Manjun, his son is Wang Zijun, and his adoptive parents are involved in numerous...

Han Shiwei grabbed Wang Ping'an's file.

Adoptive parents, not biological parents!

Wang Ping'an was born an orphan. He was abandoned as an infant and sent to an orphanage to be raised until he was five years old. He was then adopted by the Wang family, who had been childless for many years. He grew up healthy and joined the system largely to make it easier to find his biological parents and ask them about the truth of how he was abandoned.

Could Wang Ping'an's unusual behavior be related to his biological parents?

Han Shiwei suppressed his emotions and looked at the information Li Ting was holding:

Li Tingna, male, 48 years old, unmarried, former employee of a truck company, was dismissed for violating regulations.

His parents had a strained relationship, and his mother left home after giving birth to Li Tingna and her whereabouts are still unknown. He was raised by his father, Li Xuemin, and his grandparents. Because Li Xuemin was the sole breadwinner and his grandparents spoiled him, he lacked discipline and dropped out of school early. He spent many years in the underworld and later learned to drive and joined a truck company to make a living.

Li Xuemin was diagnosed with uremia at the beginning of last year, which depleted his family's savings and led to his breakup with his girlfriend whom he planned to marry. He then borrowed money multiple times to raise medical expenses, and disappeared after the last loan of 10 yuan, which led to the Liu San case.

On the contrary, the information about Liu San, who was the trigger for the incident, is the simplest. In short, he made bad friends, which led to his wife and children being separated and his family being destroyed.

After reading through everything, Han Shiwei frowned. All the causes, processes, and results were there, and the relationship between Liu San and Li Tingna perfectly formed a closed loop.

There's not a single problem.

However, after simulating the car accident at the scene, it is clear that there were problems with Li Ting's death. How could there not be problems with Liu San's case?

It just hasn't surfaced yet.

Who were the people chasing Li Ting? Why weren't they seen in the surveillance footage? What did Wang Ping'an do during the 3 minutes and 47 seconds he disappeared? What role did he play in it?

and also…

The most crucial point is that Liu San committed murder without a doubt, but was it an accidental emotional breakdown or a preordained, inevitable outcome?

Han Shiwei leans towards the latter.

If it was an accident, Li Tingna, the driver Zhou Qiguo, the project owner Wu Jiantao, and even Wang Ping'an should not have appeared before him in this way.

Collect all the materials and compile them into a booklet.

Han Shiwei took the documents and went to the waiting room. He knocked twice and received a positive response from inside before pushing the door open and entering.

A middle-aged woman, around forty years old and simply dressed, immediately stood up, but her reaction was relatively calm and she did not panic.

"Hello, Comrade Manjun. I am Han Shiwei from the Provincial Department, a comrade-in-arms of Comrade Ping An."

Han Shiwei reassured him, "Don't be nervous. I asked you to come here to ask some questions about Comrade Ping An. Just answer truthfully. If you don't know the answer to a question, just say you don't know. Don't force yourself."

"Director Han, I would never deceive the organization."

Su Manjun tried her best to keep her voice down, but her tightly clenched hands betrayed her nervousness. "Director Han, before you ask, could I find out about my husband's situation?"

"Comrade Ping An is fine, but given that some of his statements contained actual omissions, Director Qi has suspended him from his duties and is cooperating with the investigation."

Han Shiwei did not hide anything.

As long as no evidence is found, it cannot be proven that Wang Ping'an was substantially involved.

Apart from eyewitnesses.

This is also why he did not have a second conversation with Wang Ping'an.

"good!"

Su Manjun breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she wasn't directly dismissed from her post, there was still room for maneuver. "I'm ready. I can answer anything I know."

"According to the investigation, after Li Ting went missing, your couple paid for his father Li Xuemin's expenses, and you even personally accompanied him in the hospital."

Han Shiwei confirmed.

"right!"

Su Manjun confirmed, "Since you asked me this, you must know that both Lao Wang and I have companies in our families and are financially well-off. In fact, Lao Wang started working to pursue his personal ideals and find his biological parents."

"Old Wang works in criminal investigation and has seen many human tragedies. But he is also soft-hearted, so he will help out financially whenever he can."

"His entire salary went into it, and his family even provided him with some money for assistance."

"These are not secrets."

"Li Tingna's father wasn't the first."

Correct!

Han Shiwei nodded in agreement, "Comrade Ping An is a person who, when he achieves success, will help others, but..."

"This is the first time I've personally taken care of someone like this!"
